I became a mysterious person in textbooks after being pushed by the emperors

Chapter 93: All ministers are ministers of the subjugation of the country

Every name, every arrangement, even Zhu Youjian, as the emperor, couldn't help but be completely confused. There was no way, these contents were too detailed, so detailed that he felt extremely incredible.

Some of these names he knew, but some even he didn't know.

However, after being shocked, Chongzhen reacted quickly.

"Well, sir, if Shaanxi taxes are stopped, where will the imperial taxes come from!"

The words were spoken with hesitation.

Although Zhu Youjian's personal ability is a bit poor, this ability is not his wisdom, but his execution ability.

This can be seen in the original trajectory. In the original trajectory, Chongzhen was very aware of many problems in the Ming Dynasty, such as the problem of scholar-bureaucrats. He also secretly mentioned military generals. He seemed to have the intention of improving the status of military generals to contain civil servants, but the result was useless. use.

His change of orders from day to day and his crazy behavior of blaming others directly made the generals unable to trust him at all.

But all this is enough to prove his wisdom and his vision is indeed good.

Jiang Chen's description of all this is undoubtedly very beautiful, and Zhu Youjian can even see that by following this method, Ming Dynasty will definitely be able to turn the tide.

But the key question is where the money comes from.

Even if he listened to Jiang Chen's method and allowed the bandits to clean up the clan.

But let’s not mention that Ming Dynasty’s finances are already unable to make ends meet. Even if there is some surplus, the payment of three salaries may not be enough.

Let alone making this series of electric ones.

You must know that no matter what kind of policy, policy execution is required, and execution is, to put it bluntly, money, even the emperor is no exception. After all, you can't let the horse run without letting the horse eat grass.

But where does the money come from?

Even now that he has just ascended the throne, money and food are still extremely scarce. Although it has not reached the point where it will follow, it is not enough to support such a large-scale operation.

Not to mention organizing and training the new army, just like what Jiang Chen said, he would have no money to set up the Prime Minister's Affairs Office, recruit Europa, purchase and develop firearms, and improve the calendar.

The fiscal revenue in the first year of Chongzhen was 326 million taels of silver. After deducting the deficit of the previous year, the actual revenue was 200 million taels of silver. The Liaodong army salary alone was 327 million taels. In fact, the Ming Dynasty needed more money and food, and the deficit was almost more than Got millions of taels of silver.

He has no money at all.

Well, there were only a few emperors in the entire Ming Dynasty who were rich.

From Zhu Yuanzhang's loss of money to him, except Zhu Di, he is better.

Other emperors were short of money.

There is nothing we can do about this. First, the land tax in the Ming Dynasty was too low, only about 3%.The second is that the number of people who do not pay taxes is too large, mainly the gentry and the large clans of the Ming Dynasty.The third is that there is very little business tax, and they are all smuggling.The fourth is that the Ming Dynasty could have relied on guarding and farming to increase tax revenue, but this was destroyed during the Yongle period.The fourth is to make money by monopolizing the core business of eunuchs, and Chongzhen is gone.

But the expenses were huge. There were peasant uprisings in the country, the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the east occupied the northeast, and the Mongols in the west were eyeing the country, and the situation was precarious.

As a result, money will naturally become even more insufficient.

Zhu Youjian knew this very well, so at this moment Zhu Youjian couldn't help but speak.

"Money, this is not easy to solve!"

"Two methods, which one do you want to hear?!"

Looking at Zhu Youjian's inner thoughts in the chat group, Jiang Chen chuckled and typed out the words quickly.

"Two ways?"

On the other side, Zhu Youjian's eyes lit up.

He didn't expect that Jiang Chen actually had a solution to the problem that had been bothering him, and there were two solutions as soon as he opened his mouth. "Please teach me, sir!"

Zhu Youjian spoke with excitement and trembling.

"First, let the Jin Yiwei set out and confiscate all the houses of officials of third rank or above in the capital. Peng Sunyi wrote in "Ping Kou Zhi": The gold they obtained was about three tenths of the Hou family, three tenths of the eunuch temple, and ten hundred officials. Second, two out of ten merchants, a total of 7000 million taels. The palace has been washed away for a long time. Huaizong reduced food, cloth, wine and utensils, and all the gold and silver were used as military pay, and the internal money was worth tens of millions. The thieves gained from adultery and punishment, Threatening to get the big inside will be hated by those who know it."

"With this method, if you talk about other things, it's not a big problem to get 8000 to [-] million taels. All your money and food problems can be solved in an instant."

Jiang Chen spoke leisurely, with a deep coldness in his words.

Although Chongzhen is a blame-shifting king, he is the king of the subjugation of the country, but he is not the king of the subjugation of the country as he said, but he is not wrong in the last sentence, all ministers are the ministers of the subjugation of the country.

The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were almost rotten to the core.

After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he did not treat the powerful people like Chongzhen, begging them for some money. He called them by name one by one and pulled them to the front door. The sword was directly put to his neck. Whether to give money or not, there was no direct click.If you have any, take it out. Don't send me away with three melons and two dates. This time, I directly scratched out 7000 million taels. This is almost the income of the Ming Dynasty's treasury for 20 years. It is simply exaggerated to an unimaginable level.

And looked at the text displayed by Jiang Chen.

Among the group, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but look angry for a moment.

"Okay, okay, you are indeed a good minister of my Zhu family!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smashed the teapot directly, and couldn't help but have a look of anger on his face.

7000 million taels, a total of 7000 million taels. Even during his Hongwu period, this was more than ten years of national treasury income. He had zero tolerance for corruption, and such a result was simply unacceptable.

"Father!"

Prince Zhu Biao was a little confused and nervous.

But at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger was still not gone, and his anger was still rising.

He did not expect that such a situation would occur in later generations due to his harsh politics.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang is not the only one who is ups and downs at this moment.

Even Zhu Di and Zhu Houcong, whose treasury income was soaring at this moment, couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, the treasury revenue in the Yongle period exceeded 20 billion taels of silver, and the Jiajing time and space also reached 7000 billion taels of silver, but [-] million taels of silver was still a large number, and it was still confiscated from the officials.

Even they did not expect such a result.

After all, even if they had begun large-scale maritime trade in this era, officials would never be able to raise 7000 million taels.

At the end of the Good Guys dynasty, those civil servants came together.

As for Zhu Youjian, his eyes were wide open at this moment, with an expression of disbelief.

He is not a fool. In a certain aspect, his knowledge is relatively good among the emperors, but he has never thought about what Jiang Chen said.

Those civil servants who cried poverty in front of him every day could actually have so much money, so much that it even made him feel a little breathless.

7000 taels.

A full 7000 ​​million taels.

How much money is this?

"Gudong!"

Zhu Youjian couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his face kept changing at this moment. He was flushed, excited, angry, and unspeakable.
