Zhu Youjian actually didn't care if his eldest brother and biological father were murdered by the eunuchs who supported King Fu. Although the death of these two people was very strange! But if they don't die, how can Zhu Youjian be the emperor? As a father.

How can King Xin, who has an elder brother, compare with the Emperor of Ming Dynasty who has no father and no brother?

Moreover, Zhu Youjian was not loved by Emperor Taichang since he was a child. His biological mother was ordered to be killed by Emperor Taichang, who was still the prince at the time! Such a father should die.

Of course, because the death of his father and brother was full of doubts, Zhu Youjian also had some psychological shadow on the Forbidden City. In his previous life, he had no choice. It was not until the Jiashen Incident that he was completely separated from the inner court and the siege of the ministers, but at the same time he also lost his power.

.

And in this life, Zhu Youjian is able to fight, and the skills he has developed after decades of hard training are no joke! That's why he easily got rid of the inner court and nobles, and even wandered out of the trapped dragon pool, which was like a tiger's den in Beijing.

City, show off your talents outside.

However, Zhu Youjian delayed returning home until the winter of the first year of Chongzhen, not because he was afraid of following in the footsteps of his father and brother. It was because money was a little tight again. The young emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian, had no money again and had to work hard for more than half a year.

, I didn’t make any money, so I didn’t dare to go home to celebrate the New Year!

And the reason why I have no money again is of course because I have been fighting for several months. This is a real weapon, and ten thousand taels of gold will go out!

From the time when the imperial commander personally marched out of Beijing in June to now, less than six months after the full attack, Zhu Youjian only defeated one Mongolian Khan, forced back one Houjin Khan, and collected the troops of three states and two Ordos.

The land has already emptied out a full internal transportation warehouse.

It was precisely because the inner transport warehouse was empty again that His Royal Highness Prince Fu of Luoyang was remembered by Zhu Youjian, his good nephew!

Who makes Zhu Youjian a wise man who doesn't know how to manage money and only knows how to confiscate homes?

In his previous life, he studied with Nizi for fifty years. He learned all kinds of skills and far surpassed Nizi in martial arts. However, he never learned how to engage in finance or how to run a bank. Of course, the economy around Beijing cannot be compared with Jiangnan.

, the demand for financial services is not strong either. If there is any demand, it is just to help corrupt officials remit money to their hometowns.

This kind of financial business cannot be done through a bank controlled by the royal family!

So in the hands of the villain, the money is the numbers on the accounts of Yanshan Bank and Shanghai Banking Corporation, while in the hands of Zhu Youjian, it is the "stones" in the internal transportation warehouse.

"Long live my Lord, I have checked all the incoming and outgoing accounts of the internal transportation warehouse since June one by one. I can't say that there are no problems at all, but generally they are correct."

It was Shen Tingyang, the newly appointed right deputy envoy of the Inner Shipping Treasury, who was reporting the audit results to Zhu Youqian at the Chengyun Hall in the Zhenguo Palace in the Yuangu Palace in the Imperial City of Xuanfu.

This "Director Shen" is actually not the chief rudder yet. His father came north with Qian Qianyi. The original purpose was to help Qian Qianyi move a pavilion boss. Qian Qianyi became a pavilion boss.

, only then can we promote the rice shipping, and only then can the Haisha Gang steal the business of the Caogang Army that transports grain!

Of course, there is no money to be made from water transportation itself, but you can make money by evading taxes with the goods. If the grain goes northward through the canal, then all you escape is the twelve tax cards on the canal. But if the grain goes northward by sea, the benefits are huge.

Not only did he avoid customs duties, but he also allowed the Tianjin Guard to actually switch on and off! From now on, exotic goods from various countries in the East and West can be transported directly to Tianjin by the merchant ships of the Haisha Gang!

In addition, by transporting food for the imperial court, the Haisha Gang can legitimately build its own armed merchant fleet. It can also sail its own armed merchant ships to Zheng Yiguan's territory without paying protection fees!

Zheng Yiguan has recently been on the road to recruiting people, and he sent people to talk to Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian, and Pang Tianshou, the eunuch of Nanjing, and the matter is probably almost settled.

Once Zheng Yiguan is granted the favor, he will no longer have to live on the malaria-ridden Dayuan Island and can return to his hometown of Quanzhou to develop in a legitimate way. At that time, will he dare to collect protection fees from the imperial grain ships? He will not pay them back.

Dare to rob the imperial grain ship?

Therefore, this grain shipping is of great benefit to the Haisha Gang!

Of course, the Haisha Gang alone cannot push this matter away. Also thinking about transporting grain by sea are the gentry and profiteers from several prefectures in the middle and lower reaches of the Huaihe River, especially the gentry and profiteers from the two big prefectures of Huai'an and Yangzhou.

Because the waterway flowing south of the Yellow River cannot intersect with the canal waterway, otherwise it will be silted up in a few years, so the Yellow River cannot artificially dig a channel into the sea in Huaibei, and can only divert the Huaihe River to the sea. But this will cause the lower reaches of the Huaihe River and Hongze Lake.

The river bed is rising every year. Now Hongze Lake has become a "hanging lake". Once it overflows, the precious lands of Huai and Yang will be destroyed.

Moreover, due to the serious siltation of the Huaihe River estuary, Huai'an's seawater channel is almost disappearing! This is very unfavorable for Huai'an Prefecture. Not only is it impossible to carry out overseas trade, but once the Huaihe River estuary is silted up, where will the Huaihe River water go?

?

This is really annoying!

But there are quite a few people who make a fortune and live by the canal!

Once the canal ends at the section south of the Huaihuai River, there is no problem. Can the state capitals along the canal north of the Huaihe River agree? Can the officials who make money from the canal agree? Can the hundreds of thousands of grain transport troops agree?

Therefore, this matter is not easy to accomplish. People like Shen Tingyang can only rely on the Donglin Party, which is based in the southeast, to move forward.

As a result of the movement, Qian Qianyi only got one Hanlin bachelor, while Shen Tingyang rose to the top and became the right deputy envoy of the inner transport warehouse. This was a high-ranking official from the fifth rank, only better than Qian Qianyi's Hanlin bachelor.

The bachelor is half a grade younger

"They can all match up?" Zhu Youjian was still a little suspicious of this profiteer Shen Da, and frowned, "There are millions of silver deposits in the internal transportation warehouse, how much time does it take? How come it's all gone?"

"Long live my lord," the profiteer Shen said with a wry smile, "In June, there were still more than 6.525 million taels of silver in the internal transportation warehouse, but now there are only more than 1.5 million taels left."

"There are so many flowers!" Zhu Youjian snorted, "Why did you spend so much?"

"Mainly because they were defeated in the war," Shen Tingyang said, "Long live my lord, we really don't have enough money to spend on this war! Especially since you used your soldiers like gods and led your soldiers to cut off the heads of so many Hulu.

He also fought so many victorious battles and seized so much territory.”

"You" Zhu Youjian got a little angry when he heard this, "are you saying that I won the war and impoverished the country?"

"Long live my Lord," Shen Da, the profiteer, shook his head, "The country did not fight poverty, but the internal transport warehouse did. Because the country is already poor, the Ministry of Household Affairs cannot afford so much money to distribute rewards, distribute grain, and distribute money to the three towns and cities.

The state’s subsidies and the cost of establishing two Orduo households with 20,000 households all have to be filled with money from the transportation treasury!”

"This, this, this," Zhu Youjian was so anxious that he couldn't speak clearly, "Why do you want the internal transportation warehouse to pay for it? Whose idea was it?"

"Long live Lord, it seems to be your order."

"What? It's me." Zhu Youjian thought for a moment, as if it was his order!

A while ago, he had been feeling that there was money in the internal transport warehouse, and the cabinet had been complaining to him that the cabinet was really poor! Moreover, the cabinet's money and food had not been confiscated, and the expenditures had been listed item by item!

And most of the expenditures are more than the income! Because the Ming Dynasty does not have a financial system that can support the issuance of national debt, the deficit of the Ministry of Revenue can only be realized by arrears of official salaries and soldiers' pay.

In his previous life, Zhu Youjian had suffered enough from the pay of his soldiers, so he strictly prohibited the Ministry of Revenue from arrears and did not dare to abolish the postmen. Even if there was a little surplus in the first year of Chongzhen, he still had to fill the holes in previous years, so it was impossible for the Ministry of Household Affairs to pay for it.

Zhu Youjian's imperial chariot paid the bill in person, and could only advance the payment from the internal shipping warehouse.

If Zhu Youjian had won fewer battles, killed fewer Tatars, and seized less territory, the money in the inner treasury might still be enough to spend, but he was too good at fighting the problem!

And his "ability to fight", to put it bluntly, means he puts his money where his mouth is!
