After Qin Shihuang Lived for A Long Time, All Human Beings Were Looking for Me Madly

Chapter 111 Chongzhen received a great gift from Su Tian and twitched in surprise.

There must be some in the document pavilion, but all of them are not complete, so the Hanlins need to take some time to check it out.

After all, there are more than 11,000 volumes, more than a dozen Hanlin, and it takes a lot of time to count them several times.

Not to mention, you need to read and proofread it again to check and fill in the gaps.

Although there are a lot of books, the document pavilion here still retains two complete sets of books, which are simple in comparison.

In addition, Nanzhili kept a complete set. Although the original initial materials were burned, the current Daming still has three complete sets of books.

In the process of waiting, Chongzhen told Su Tian about the current situation of Daming.

Because he had already sent a message to Su Tian when Jianlu retreated before, so Su Tian knew that Dorgon had withdrawn from the customs.

At present, although Chongzhen has some money and food in his hands, it is also copied from his home. The corrupt officials and Shanxi merchants in the capital have all been copied.

Although this house raiding is quite addictive, Chongzhen will definitely find an opportunity to cleanse the officials of Nanzhili in the future.

Compared with the capital's side, it may be gentler, otherwise it is easy to change.

One problem is that now it seems that he has money and food in his hands, but these are resources that cannot be regenerated.

All parts of the north are basically in a state of shutdown because of wars and plagues.

To rebuild the north, the more than 100 million taels of silver from the house raid, I am afraid it is not enough.

And use a little less.

As for taxes, forget about it.

In the Ming Dynasty when the Xiaobinghe incident, the grain harvest could not afford the army's salaries, let alone rebuilding the north.

Now it is not only necessary to continue to suppress the rebellion and defeat the rebels such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, but also to consider the Jiannu, who are coveting outside the customs.

"Immortal Master, the last time I asked you to broadcast, I already knew that I should not be collecting heavy taxes from the common people, but rather the taxes of these gentlemen.

Chongzhen already had his own idea, but others couldn't believe it, so he should discuss it with Su Tian first.

Of course, there were only the two of them in the room at the moment, and he didn't even call the elders of the cabinet.

Because he knew that even if we were in common misfortune, the imperial power, the civil servants, and the gentry were still in opposition.

"Yes, to start focusing on the taxation of the gentry, but don't be in a hurry!

Su Tian waved his hand, the current Daming is already at the extreme stage of terminal illness, but he does not dare to come back to the fierce medicine.

"Oh? Ask the Immortal Master to teach me!

Chongzhen was shocked for a moment. Didn't he agree that he would collect taxes from the gentry? If you don't worry, the country won't be able to resist for a few years.

Seeing his expression, Su Tian smiled and said:

"Once you use too much force, these gentlemen don't care if you are the emperor or not, and if they join hands, they will rebel again.

"So...have you ever heard of boiling frogs in warm water?"

what?

Chongzhen looked at Su Tian in confusion and shook his head slightly.

Boiled frogs in warm water? Never heard of it.

"You throw a frog into boiling water and it jumps out right away.

"But when you put it in warm and comfortable water, and slowly add the fire, when it reacts, it will be boiled to death.

Is there such a thing? Chongzhen looked at Su Tian in shock.

He understood the story, but he brought the problem of not getting into his own side.

"So, you can add some taxes as appropriate now, but not a lot at once."5

"Although they are dissatisfied, they will not resist."

"At the same time, taking advantage of the fact that you have dealt with more than half of the officials, take the power back into your own hands!

"In the future, try to make the imperial power higher than everything, so that there is no need for a group of eunuchs and military commanders to check and balance the civil officials.

"Reform the army, the troops in the capital must be stronger than the frontier army and local armed forces! Otherwise, the officials outside will not be in awe.

"When all this slowly progresses, you also gradually increase the tax on the gentry.

"In this way, when they reacted, they were completely afraid and unable to rebel."

"They are frogs cooked in warm water! 35

hiss~

Chongzhen had a shocked expression on his face, so it was!

Wonderful!

He slapped his thigh fiercely and said, "This move by the immortal master is feasible! I also think that these civil servants are sometimes too much!

"Yes, since the change of Tumu Fort, what the emperor said has gradually ceased to count.

"The cabinet has too much power and restricts the imperial power. I just listened to the immortal master, so I will take care of this matter!"

Chongzhen heard Su Tian say that this was an opportunity, and after thinking about it, he felt very right.

After the special civil fort, the emperor without the blessing of the generals, what a useless person.

His grandfather Wanli fought with the civil servants all his life, and sent a eunuch to collect taxes, but he even let the civil servants find a reason to beat him to death...

Previously, the things that the emperor could manage were very limited. Emperor Tianqi asked his grandfather to tell his grandma when he built a palace.

In the next imperial decree, the cabinet is out of anger for sealing you back, and there is no way to do it.

There is no cabinet vote, sorry, that is called Zhongzhi, and everyone does not recognize it.

For this, the slaves can do it, and it may be the only point of the Qing Dynasty. The emperor has great power.

If the emperors in the middle and late Ming Dynasty had half the rights of the chiefs of the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that they would not be so hard to come to Chongzhen.

"Don't worry too much about money, I can give you some tips." Su Tian said.

"Oh? Immortal Master, please speak!"

When he heard that there was another way to make money, Chongzhen immediately sat upright and his expression became serious.

"First it was a high-yield crop. Now, in the southern part of the Ming Dynasty, there is basically a sweet potato, the one that Chen Zhenlong stole from Luzon."5

"I'm getting you some seeds of potatoes and corn, which are available in the Ming Dynasty, but the time required for popularization is too slow.

"Let's feed everyone first, so that people don't have to worry about starving to death, and there will be no refugees and bandit rebels."

These high-yielding crops actually already existed in the Ming Dynasty.

But it was gradually popularized, but it had to wait until the Kangxi period 50 years later, which was equivalent to letting the Qing Dynasty pick up a leak.

Now Su Tian told Chongzhen that the imperial court took this matter seriously.

I believe that with the level of development of the Ming Dynasty, the popularity of it was several percent faster than that of Qin Shihuang.

Listening to Chongzhen seriously, Su Tian continued:

"It's just peace and prosperity, and next comes the rich country. 99

"I 283 thought about the most suitable way to make money for Daming, which is to plant sugarcane as an economic crop in southern Fujian.""

"I'm telling you how to refine sugar, make rock candy, and make wine from bagasse."9

"This is done, and ten million taels of silver a year is not much."

At present, the Ming Dynasty already has the divine book "Tian Gong Kai Wu", but the production of white sugar is still in the primary stage.

In addition, the ancient information is inconvenient, and it has not spread too widely.

"Thousand... Ten thousand taels of silver? Every year?" Chongzhen exclaimed slightly when he heard this number.

Sure enough, as soon as the Immortal Master made his move, he gave Daming a great gift.

At least 10 million taels, and if you do it well, you won't have to worry about military spending at all.

He can also safely put all the silver taels in his hand into the reconstruction work in the north.

"Actually, the most suitable place is the island of Xiaoliuqiu, which is currently occupied by Hongyi.

Xiaoliuqiu is the so-called Baodao Wanwan in the future.

"What they want is to be able to grow sugar cane on the island to make sugar, whether it's East Ying or Europa Road, they all need sugar very much.

"If we can get that place back, Daming's annual profit from white sugar will not be less than 30 million taels."9

Uh... Chongzhen's heart twitched violently when he heard this value!

The shocked eyes did not roll.

No less than 30 million... What's more, Xiaoliuqiu must be taken back!

Damn hongyi...
