Wang Chengen followed into the house, and Liu Chao hurriedly went to get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. After entering the palace, he studied in Nei Shutang, but he was not very knowledgeable, but his writing and ink were quite smooth, and Luo Yangxing led the diligence of Zhuangtou to Beixiang.

After Chongzhen entered the house, he sat down on the Grand Master's chair. Wang Chengen quickly took the teapot and poured tea for the emperor, picked it up with both hands and handed it to him. Chongzhen took it and took a sip. The tea was brought from the palace, and the water was the well water in the village. In this era without industrial pollution, the well water was sweet and sweet. The tea was brewed with a smooth mouth and returned to the sweet and fragrant.

Liu Chao trotted in with the four treasures of the study. Chongzhen put down the teacup and pointed to the chair on the side and said, "Sit!"

Liu Chao did not dare to sit down in front of the emperor, and his head and hands were all waving: "There is no seat for slaves in front of the emperor. You want to destroy slaves!"

Chongzhen said impatiently: "If you ask you to sit, just sit! You will write what I said later on paper, how do you write while standing?"

Liu Chao then found a seat to sit down, with his butt only halfway, put the pen and ink paper on the small table beside him, twisting his body and saying, "Old Master, I will listen to the sages quietly!"

"How many granaries are there in the village? Is there a process for the summer grain to deliver grain to the palace this time?" Chongzhen asked.

"If you go back to the emperor, there are three granaries in the village, each containing about 10,000 stones of grain. Because the summer grain is not long after it has been collected and part of it has not yet dried, the harvested grain is in the granary. In addition, the undried ones have been made, the total number is about 20,000 stones, all of which are wheat and barley, and there are no mixed grains." Liu Chao replied.

"I remember you said that there were more than 30,000 acres of land in total, how much is the yield per mu? Why did you pay so much grain?" Chongzhen asked in confusion.

"Reported to the emperor, the average yield per mu is about one stone, and the rent collected in the palace is seventeen. Because it is the imperial village, no tax is paid." Liu Chao replied.

Chongzhen frowned and said, "Why are there so many land rents? By population, aren't the remaining food for farmers just covering their belly?"

"If you go back to the emperor, this rule has been like this since Master Longqing. Because it is not far from the capital, the young and strong men in the village will go to the city to do short-term work and earn some money to subsidize the household income. The elderly, weak, women and children raise chickens and ducks, and there are also several households raise pigs. In the past, the river was full of water and could catch some fish and shrimp, so the farmers could barely survive and had no complaints."

Exploitation, chì      Luǒnautilous exploitation! It took a hard year to dig the soil, and 70% of the harvest will be taken away. The surplus grains and miscellaneous grains will barely starve to death. In this way, everyone actually felt that it was natural, and Chongzhen sighed in his heart.

"From today, the Tian Rent will be changed to 14, and it will be a permanent example in the future!" Chongzhen ordered.

"Ah? Isn't the emperor too tolerant? Tian Zuo is a major entry in the palace. If there is no entry, the nobles in the palace will complain and make trouble!" Wang Cheng'en and Liu Chao were all surprised. In their hearts, only the royal interests are the interests of the royal family. Only when the royal water rises will their ships be high. As for these poor and cheap farmers, the grace of the royal family is the royal family.

Chongzhen did not intend to explain to them the values ​​of later generations such as civil rights and equality. He just waved his hand decisively: "I have decided, don't be too long-winded. Who dares to make trouble in the palace? I will let him go to Fengyang to guard the imperial tomb!" The two of them shrank their necks and did not dare to say anything anymore.

"I have a plan to build this place into an army logistics base. In the future, the clothes, military rations and other military needs of the Ming officers and soldiers will be produced from here!" Chongzhen continued.

"You start recording!"

Liu Chao quickly dipped his pen ink and looked at the emperor.

"You arrange people, choose a large area of ​​connected open space, and build workshops. One is to make military rations, and the other is to make clothes and hats. I have not yet decided on the others. I need to build a spacious workshop that can accommodate thousands of people to work. The style of the workshop and how to build it, I will inform the Ministry of Works to arrange relevant people to come. Your task is to convene the young and strong construction in the village. This is not labor, you have to take care of two meals and eat enough!" As for the wages, Chongzhen did not plan to give it because there were too many places that needed money. If the treasury allocated silver, those civil officials would definitely be able to argue with the emperor.

The money from the treasury has more important uses. In fact, for farmers, it is normal to work hard. If you can still manage two full meals, the family will save you. In the slack season, you can go to Beijing to do short-term work. Not every day can you find work, and sometimes no one will hire you for several consecutive days. Where can you find such good things that you don’t have to leave your family at your doorstep?

Liu Chao quickly wrote down, although he was whispering to Guan two meals, he did not dare to argue.

"After the workshop is completed, the wall of the guard house will be built. It doesn't have to be as high as the city wall, but about nine feet." Chongzhen planned to build this place into a logistics base, and the most important thing is to be considered for safety.

This place is southwest of the capital, about thirty or forty miles away from the capital. If Jiannu attacked the capital through the brink of the enemy, the main attack direction was the northeast and the north. The bandits are currently basically in Henan, Shaanxi, Shaanxi, and Huguang, and they do not have the ability to attack Northern Zhili. In history, it was also the last year of Chongzhen that Li Zichengcai led his men to the capital. As for building a wall, it would be just a precaution.

"Send people to purchase chicken and duck seedlings, and distribute them to each household free of charge, and mobilize the elderly, weak, women and children to free up. Build several large pig farms, each pig farm can raise about 300 pigs. If the pig farms have experience in raising pigs, please do the main staff of the pig farm. You can go to the capital or other places to buy pig cubs."

Chongzhen picked up the tea and took a sip, and continued, "You go to buy rice, various beans, millet, millet, etc. After purchasing it, grind it with wheat and barley, and mix it into powder, mix it together in a large pot with appropriate amount of oil, salt and sugar. Then let women make intestinal-shaped slender bags with cloth, each bag can hold about five kilograms of this item!" Five kilograms of military rations, because of adding high-calorie species such as salt, sugar and oil, save some food enough for a soldier to seven days.

"Then I'll buy cotton and cotton cloth to prepare for winter clothes for officers and soldiers. I will allocate 100,000 taels of silver to use for the above-mentioned expenses. If there is not enough, I will find a way. If there is a surplus, I will buy it all into grain. If there is not enough granary, I will build it again as appropriate. For the time being, I will record all of it?" Liu Chao nodded.

Last time, Lu Xiangsheng allocated 400,000 taels of silver, and this time he allocated 100,000 taels of silver to Liu Chao. Although it was for the Zhu family's country, the silver could not withstand such a spending.

After Chongzhen ascended the throne, he followed the wishes of civil officials and abolished the mining and taxation supervisions in various places, which won praise from many civil officials and gentry in Jiangnan. Looking back now, it is known that he was deceived. The income of the mining and taxation supervision has entered the inner treasury. Since Wanli, these have been the main source of royal expenses. Those who deceived the emperor to abolish the mining and taxation supervision are actually the spokespersons of the Jiangnan gentry in the court who had their own interests infringed.

Now that I know that I am fooled by them, if I want to send a mining supervisor again, it will be difficult for the tax supervisor, and it will inevitably be fiercely opposed by the government and the opposition. Now there are bandits inside and Jiannu outside, so I can no longer cause unnecessary trouble, let alone a irritation. I can only endure this tone first and wait until the inside and outside are cleared before finding the place.

I also have to find a way to open source! When I think about making money, Chongzhen was upset. He was a liberal arts student. Where did he do business in his previous life?

I have read a lot of time travel articles. When I look at the protagonists who travel back in time, I can easily get rich quickly from a civilian, and then recruit soldiers and horses to overthrow the feudal rule. I feel so envious. Look at others, if I don’t travel through time, I might be able to surpass Jack Ma if I have not traveled through time.

No matter how much you complain, time travel has become a reality. Shortage of money is the top priority, and you have to find a way to make money. Making glass soaps, perfumes, bonds and stocks can make money quickly, but my liberal arts student knows nothing about that.

Now I have some ideas about the Eight Great Imperial Merchants in the Early Qing Dynasty. I just hope that they have accumulated enough wealth over the years. Once the Jinyiwei has investigated it clearly, you are welcome. If God doesn’t take it, he will be blamed!

Next is the salt merchants in JAC, who are all wealthy families with millions of dollars, but they have huge connections behind them, so it is hard to find excuses to start.

Another thing that Chongzhen dreamed of was Zheng Zhilong, who was so rich that he could rival a country. In history, Zheng Zhilong's pirate group charged huge protection fees, and in addition, he used a huge fleet to do business, earning tens of millions of silver annually.

Zheng Zhilong’s biggest weakness is that he is very afraid of powerful force. This may be related to his desire to be stable after he has been working hard for many years to accumulate huge wealth. The older he is, the less courageous he is. He was in the world and had nothing, but after making a fortune, who would not hope that his descendants would enjoy wealth forever? It seems that only after he can eliminate the bandits, Zheng Zhilong would truly bow to the court. He would have to be strong himself.

He was thinking about his thoughts, and he didn't speak for a long time, and Wang and Liu didn't dare to disturb him. After a while, Chongzhen came to his senses and asked, "You can write down everything. I don't know when I will come back next time after I return to the palace tomorrow. You must implement all of my strategies without fail. If you don't understand, please ask clearly, do you hear it?"

"I have all the servants written down and understood them. I will definitely do all the servants I have told! " Liu Chao solemnly reported to Chongzhen.

"That's good, I'm waiting for your good news. In addition, I will ask Wang Chengen to pick some people from the palace to help you. After all, there are many things and you can't be busy with yourself. Those shopkeepers have no knowledge or mind, and they can't help you." Chongzhen said, and Wang Chengen quickly responded.

As he spoke, Luo Yangxing asked outside the house. After entering the house, he presented the book in his hand with both hands. It seemed that the new strategy for the rectification of the Jinyiwei had been completed. Chongzhen took it in his hand and looked at it, which was basically the same as what he said.

"It's not bad, so let's do it first, and implement it immediately after returning to Beijing!" Luo Yangxing bowed and responded.
Chapter completed!
