As the end of the year approaches, the newly established Interior Bureau of the Palace is also making a lot of purchases in the market.

Every day, from morning to night, vehicles carrying various goods flowed continuously between market shops and palaces, and moved a large amount of goods to major warehouses.

It was the Chinese New Year and he had money. Zhu Youjian took out a large amount of silver from the treasury to purchase goods to reward eunuchs, palace maids, firemen, and servants who had been busy for a year.

This part of the silver is rewarded to the palace servants in addition to the monthly salary. The form is exactly the same as the welfare benefits received by large state-owned enterprises in later generations at the end of the year. Practice has proved that distributing materials can win people's hearts more than distributing money and can enhance the recognition of the subordinates of this group.

Especially for the palace people in the Gyeonggi area, when they personally took over a wide range of products such as rice, flour, oil, salt, meat, eggs, cloth, needles, and thread, oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar, etc., they would not mention the heat in their hearts.

These daily necessities are required by each family. Eunuch Liu Chao, who is also the manager of the Internal Affairs Office, has said that the emperor has given an order. After the distribution is completed, all palace people in the area of ​​Jingji can explain their family address, and then use the name of the Sihai Commercial Bank to get off the carriage of the horse and horse business for free to transport the distributed benefits home.

Those palace ladies who were in other provinces received the same value of silver and money. After they handed over the accumulated monthly salary to the Sihai Commercial Bank, the caravan brought the money home according to their hometown address when they were in the caravan.

More than ten thousand palace people were grateful for Zhu Youjian's caring and caring behavior. Everyone voluntarily shouted to the direction of the Ganqing Palace and kowtowed, expressing their gratitude to Zhu Youjian sincerely.

In the past, of course, the nobles in the palace would often give rewards to people around them, but the scope was too small, and only a few people benefited. Most of the palace ladies who worked hard to work would not receive any rewards.

This time, the reward that covered all the palace people was the first time to create the world. This reward is so real, and it can even be said to be extremely heavy. Even the old people in the palace who knew the secrets for several generations have never seen such a generous and kind emperor. It is worth it to serve such an emperor in this life.

The newly established Internal Affairs Bureau is responsible for the procurement of daily supplies in the palace and the management of daily affairs in the palace. It further integrates the functions of the 12 Supervisors, Fourth Departments and Eight Bureaus, and changes the situation where the departments and bureaus were originally in charge.

In fact, the Interior Bureau is like the later agency logistics affairs management bureau, which controls the food, drink, defecation and sensation of more than 10,000 people in the palace, which is more conducive to the allocation of various resources and labor and changes the original disorderly management situation.

This palace reform included all the functions of the Military Staff Bureau in the Eighth Bureau and its craftsmen under the jurisdiction of the military weapon supervision. The eunuch in the bureau and the eunuch in the military weapon warehouse were transferred to the eunuch in the military affairs bureau.

The Zhidian Prison monk's clothing supervisor among the twelve prisons was removed, and the Shangyi Prison, the Clothes Bureau, the Needle and Works Bureau, the Clothes Bureau, the Laundry Bureau, and the Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau were merged into the Clothes Office, which was responsible for all the things and personnel of the original Bureau Supervisors.

The Zhidian Supervisor, Xixinsi, Baochao, Huntang, and Zhongdou were merged, and the sanitation department was established to specialize in the procurement and use of firewood and charcoal.

The Shangshenjian, the wine, vinegar and noodles bureau and the Siyuan bureau were merged to establish a catering office to specialize in catering matters in the palace.

The Internal Affairs Bureau has a fourth-rank eunuch, the former Huangzhuang Administration Bureau, and Liu Chao was the eunuch.

There are three admirals and eunuchs, who are from the fifth rank, and are in charge of all matters in the clothing, sanitation and catering offices.

Because Liu Chao performed well over the years, the grain output of the two imperial villages he managed showed a good momentum of increasing year by year. Therefore, he was promoted by Zhu Youjian to one of the few real power figures in the palace, which can be regarded as giving this loyal eunuch a chance to be glorious in front of him.

The scale of Sihai Commercial Bank is getting bigger and bigger, and it is operating more and more projects. The number of employees has reached more than 30,000. The industries under its name cover almost all industries and fields of the Ming Dynasty.

Now Sihai Commercial Bank is no longer mainly engaged in trafficking in the north and south, but has formed a group model of integrated production, supply and sales. Many of its various industries have become overlords in many fields and become the veritable number one commercial bank in the Ming Dynasty. This makes Zhu Youjian unknowingly become the richest man in the Ming Dynasty.

However, Zhu Youjian also knew that too much royal wealth was not a good thing for the entire country, so in his vision, the Sihai Commercial Bank would eventually hand over most of its industries to the court and slowly convert its personal assets into state-owned assets. In the future, the main investors would become the Ming court, rather than the royal treasury in major issues related to national economy and people's livelihood.

Last month, Zhu Youjian issued an order to reduce the price of salt to 35 cents per catty. Not long after, he convened the cabinet and the Ministry of Revenue to discuss and announced in public that from now on, the production, management and sales of salt will be handed over to the Salt Bureau, and the royal family will not participate in the dividend distribution of profits.

In other words, Zhu Youjian took the initiative to divide one of the income from the treasury, and from then on, the salt profits in the world belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

After hearing the news announced by Zhu Youjian, the cabinet members and several officials from the Ministry of Revenue were shocked at first, and then collectively gave Zhu Youjian a solemn bow to him to express his sincere respect for the wise king.

In this era when almost everyone recognizes and accepts it, who does every king of all dynasties think that he has more money than he has?

Who doesn’t try every means to plunder money from the world for their own enjoyment?

Especially after the Ming Dynasty, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, after ascending the throne, he used "the king to regard the world as his family and consolidate the wealth of the world as his use of the world, so why is the difference between public and private? Taizong and the Ming monarch of the Song Dynasty also made the system of internal treasury implemented by the previous dynasty, which was mainly responsible for national public affairs and supplemented by the royal family's income and expenditure, into an alternative internal treasury that abolished the court's financial power and all income and expenditure were decided by the royal family.

Although the positioning of the inner treasury in Hongwu was to accumulate the use of the world and the public's idea was mainly to make money rather than to make money, the imagination was beautiful, but the facts were cruel.

The luxury goods such as silk, ivory, gold, silver, pearls and jade stored in the inner treasury inevitably set the luxury tone of royal life. Although during the orthodox period, the outer court and the inner court gradually set up various warehouses, and the civil officials snatched the financial power from the royal family bit by bit, the later emperors still tried their best to make money for the palace to satisfy the various extravagances and enjoyment in the harem.

I am used to seeing and hearing about the king who makes money, but my ministers have never seen an emperor like Zhu Youjian who really treats money as dirt.

Over the past few years, the young emperor's various acts of spending money were really varied. The amount of money he scattered was already amazing. Moreover, there was no sign of stopping this time. The salt profit this time made the insider even more shocking.

This is equivalent to giving up the annual income of 2 million taels of silver. Although the emperor is not short of money now, Your Majesty, why are you so spending your family?

If these important officials knew Zhu Youjian’s next plan, they would probably be able to stare out.

Who doesn’t know that Sihai Commercial Bank is a money tree?
