Now the annual income of the imperial court has exceeded 140 million. If this amount was extremely large in the past, you should know that a year ago, this number was still 110 million, and three years ago it was 60 million. If it were only 30 million taels when Kangxi was reigning in the Ming Dynasty, it was only 30 million taels, which is less than 40 million silver dollars.

This has always been the pride that Zhu Yi became. With the continuous increase in fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that the country is rich and the people are strong now. More importantly, while developing business, Zhu Yicheng has also continuously reduced the tax on land. Now the proportion of land tax in fiscal revenue is already extremely low. If the Qing Dynasty had not yet finally resolved and the court spent a huge amount of war, Zhu Yicheng even planned to completely cancel the tax on land.

Based on 140 million yuan, the monthly fiscal revenue is about 12 million yuan. Although Fujian is coastal, compared with Zhejiang, Jiangsu and even Guangdong, Fujian has always been a poor place. As early as the Ming and Qing dynasties, Fujian paid annual incomes almost equal to expenditures. This is a good harvest. If there are natural disasters and man-made disasters, provinces like Fujian often have to pay the imperial court to pay for it.

Now, Fujian's monthly fiscal revenue has gone from the original deficit to the winning and winning, and the payments paid have also increased over time. Just like the Ministry of Revenue has reported it now, 830,000 yuan will be repaid in more than a month, which is about 10 million yuan for the whole year. This was simply impossible to imagine before.

However, today Zhu Yicheng suddenly uncovered a secret in the court that no one could imagine, that is, Fujian's payment of more than 830,000 yuan in the past month was not 830,000 yuan, but 3.5 million yuan. This number is far beyond everyone's expectations, and everyone present was even more stunned.

"My...My..." The right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue was stunned. He didn't know where the amount of 3.5 million that Zhu Yicheng said came from. But since the emperor said so, this amount would definitely not be wrong. As the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he couldn't even calculate the amount of the remaining months to be paid in each province. This responsibility cannot be shirked at all.

"I am guilty..." Wang Fan quickly stood out from the queue and knelt down without saying a word. Wang Fan's kneeling immediately reminded Dai Li's right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and he quickly knelt down with Wang Fan.

"I am guilty..."

"I am also guilty..."

In an instant, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue also stood up and knelt down to confess his guilt. At this time, Liao Huanzhi had already reported it. He stood up without hesitation, leaned over to the ground, and said he was guilty.

The Chief Minister of Military Affairs and the Minister of Military Affairs and the two left and right ministers of the Ministry of Revenue all knelt down, and no one else could stand. Immediately, a large area of ​​kneeling in the hall was kneeling in darkness. Everyone claimed to be guilty and asked Zhu Yicheng to calm down.

Looking at the group of ministers kneeling in front of him, Zhu Yicheng not only did not relieve his anger, but on the contrary, he was even more angry.

"Why are you all like this? You are all pillars of my Ming Dynasty court. The matter in Fujian is only unknown for more than a month, so how can you blame you?"

Zhu Yicheng's words sounded like he didn't blame everyone, but his tone was cold. Liao Huanzhi immediately looked up and said carefully: "The emperor, I am the chief military officer and I am in charge of the Ministry of Personnel. The affairs of Fujian are extremely terrifying. I think this must be a Fujian official who has acted as a corruption act. I am not able to investigate and use the person. I should be guilty of being guilty. I have already left my post and let the emperor take the blame."

As soon as Liao Huanzhi finished speaking, Wang Fan followed: "I am both a military officer and the Ministry of Revenue. I have failed to investigate the affairs of Fujian and I am not responsible for the crime. I am also aware of his position and let the emperor take the blame..."

Immediately afterwards, the other military ministers, the chief officials of the six ministries, and the Dali Temple among the five temples, as well as officials from the Tongzhengsi, the Censorate and other officials apologized at the same time, and proposed to thoroughly investigate the matter in Fujian to find out the truth.

Except for Liao Huanzhi and Wang Fan, the others did not mention the claim of asking for office. After all, everyone is smart. They knew that the primary purpose at this time was to persuade Zhu Yicheng to calm down, rather than add fuel to the fire. Liao Huanzhi and Wang Fan were important officials in the court, especially in front of him, who were even less than one person and more than ten thousand people. Even Wang Fan had always been trusted by Zhu Yicheng.

If everyone resigned as Liao Huanzhi said at this time, it would be like putting Zhu Yicheng on the fire and unable to get out of the way. Looking at Zhu Yicheng's current angry look, God knows what would happen if he did this.

After venting, Zhu Yicheng's heart was filled with anger. He looked coldly at the kneeling ministers and couldn't help but scold, "No one noticed such a big deal. In Fujian's administration is like this! Investigate! When you think about it, check it? It's too late!"

After scolding, Zhu Yicheng waved his sleeves and threw a memorial at the stairs. He said to Liao Huanzhi: "Get up first and recite a thought to everyone present."

Liao Huanzhi kowtowed, then stood up. He picked up the memorial and opened it. As soon as he took a look, there was a bang in his mind, and the content inside made his hands tremble.

"The Emperor..." The content here was so horrifying. Liao Huanzhi looked up at Zhu Yicheng hesitantly. Once this was read out in public, it was no less than atomic bomb. In Liao Huanzhi's opinion, it would be better to control it to a small extent. After all, the court's decency needs to be considered!

"If the pustules are not squeezed, they will eventually become a disaster!" Zhu Yicheng could certainly understand the meaning of Liao Huanzhi's eyes when he asked him, but he had already made up his mind that this matter could not be handled in a small way, but also had to be handled in a big way! Now the Ming Dynasty is no longer the past, and the Ming Dynasty, which he personally revived, would never allow such a borer to destroy it bit by bit, which would cause the Ming Dynasty to gradually lose people's hearts and fall back into the vicious circle of historical rise and fall.

As for the court's dignity? What's this? Isn't this a matter of stealing the bell? Zhu Yicheng didn't want to fool this matter in a daze, let alone Fujian has already launched it, and Zhu Yi became his prestige and could not go back on his word.

"read!"

Zhu Yicheng said expressionlessly, and his hand was still put on his waist, and the jade belt was pressed down by him.
