Xu Jing smiled awkwardly. After he managed the treasury for Zhu Houzhao, he began to find that the treasury before the Ming Emperor was less than his own treasury.

Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao is not as embarrassed as before. He used to run soap and earned from the Royal Expo, and his own royal private wealth was more than 300,000 taels. In addition, the treasury returned by the Ministry of Revenue has not much savings, but he can still make up 400,000 taels in total.

Moreover, Zhu Houzhao now has two institutions that make money, one is the Royal Industrial Company and the other is the Royal Taxation Administration.

It is not to mention that Royal Industrial Company makes money by producing industrial products and selling them.

The Royal Taxation Bureau is what Zhu Houzhao wants to arrest now.

Because the "Eight Tigers" and Xu Jing followed Zhu Houzhao, they knew Zhu Houzhao's Royal Taxation Bureau best, and in order to express their loyalty, they invested a lot of shares, becoming the nine largest shareholders of the Royal Taxation Bureau after Zhu Houzhao.

The tenth shareholder is the family of Wang Hua, the Minister of Revenue (given by Wang Yangming).

This basically laid the foundation for the prototypes of several major wealth families formed after the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty.

Now Zhu Houzhao only arranges the business methods of the Royal Taxation Bureau for Xu Jing and the "Eight Tigers":

“You know, the main thing the Royal Taxation Bureau does is to collect taxes for me. The more taxes you receive, the more benefits I and you will have. And collecting taxes means taking money from others, which is naturally an offensive person;

What's more, we collect commercial taxes, deliberative taxes and mining taxes, so in the future, the Royal Taxation Bureau collected most of the taxes from wealthy businessmen. These people either had a background in gentry, or were court officials, nobles or even royal people;

Therefore, I decided to establish a tax corps, which belongs to the Royal Taxation Bureau!

Before rectifying the commercial tax and mining tax, Xu Jing, you will first use 10% of my tax bank to recruit people with good character to form a tax corps. At that time, it will be derived from all provinces. Each province will set up a royal tax bureau and a tax corps, each prefecture will set up a royal tax bureau and a tax corps, each county will set up a royal tax office and a tax corps!"

Xu Jing was quite surprised. He did not expect that Emperor Zhu Houzhao would also have officers and soldiers to the Royal Taxation Administration. In this way, the Royal Taxation Administration would undoubtedly have the force of guarantee for tax collection. Naturally, he was quite happy and hurriedly said that he would comply with the order.

Zhu Houzhao asked Ma Yongcheng to become the first thousand households of the Tax Corps, and asked Ma Yongcheng to assist Xu Jing in recruiting. After all, Ma Yongcheng is the eunuch who is most familiar with the market around Zhu Houzhao, and can help Xu Jing form the Tax Corps in the shortest time.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao's main task was to control the government. After arranging the next tasks of the Royal Taxation Administration, Zhu Houzhao continued to inquire about the progress of the plan of Gu Dayong and Zhang Yong and others about the downfall of the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison Zhang Zhao.

"Don't worry, I have found a dead soldier, named Wuchai. His wife was killed by Zhang Zhao, so he is willing to do things for the court," Gu Dayong reported at this time.

"As the instigation of the slaves, the officers and soldiers of the regiment camp are now increasingly resentful about the owed Lumi, and some have even proposed to cause trouble," Zhang Yong also reported.

Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly after hearing this: "Now the day of the funeral of the Great Han Dynasty is approaching. The ritual magistrate, the Imperial Horse Prison, the Cabinet, and the Ministry of Rites are all busy arranging the ritual of the Great Han Dynasty Emperor's burial ceremony. These days are a great opportunity. I will go to the regiment camp the next day. Gao Feng, you are responsible for bringing the injunction to the regiment camp. At that time, I, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, will give them silver!"

...

Zhu Houzhao began to prepare 300,000 taels of cash, and the cabinet was also discussing matters, mainly discussing the affairs of the regiment camp and the banished soldiers.

Zhu Houzhao often directly handed over the affairs to the cabinet department for discussion, which made him seem to be not interested in politics, and the cabinet naturally enjoyed it.

Now, the matter of the regiment camp and the forbidden soldiers Lumi is naturally handed over to the cabinet department for discussion, that is, the cabinet organizes several department officials responsible for the matter to discuss the matter and then submit the documents to the emperor Zhu Houzhao.

The chief assistant of the cabinet, Liu Jian, the second assistant of the cabinet, Li Dongyang, and the third assistant of Xie Qian, were sitting in the center, while the Minister of Revenue Wang Hua and the Minister of War Xu Jin were on both sides. The first person to speak was the Minister of War Xu Jin: "Three masters, Lord Wang, the regiment camp and the imperial guards had been under a long history. If the pass is approaching this year, if you do not issue Lumi, it may cause a mutiny!"

"How much money and grain does the Ministry of Revenue have to pay?" Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, asked at this time.

"A few days ago, the officials just checked the accounts. The emperor of the Dachang had spent most of his money on the construction of the tomb and the burial of the tombs of the Great Bank. Now there are only 200,000 taels of silver left," said Wang Hua, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

"That's just right, it can even produce the rice that is worth, and it can still solve the urgent problem!"

Xu Jin, Minister of War, hurriedly said that he had just taken office as Minister of War and was anxious to organize Rongzheng with drastic measures, so he was naturally eager to make up for the officers and soldiers to gain the prestige of sorting out the Rongzhengzheng.

But Li Dongyang, the second assistant to the cabinet, said at this time: "This money cannot be used to pay the rice, and it must be used to repair the Qianqing Palace for the Ministry of Works! Have you forgotten that the reason for Your Majesty to move to the Leopard Room is that the Qianqing Palace is destroyed and cannot avoid the cold and heat. Now three months are coming. At that time, we will advise Your Majesty to return to the palace. What should you do if the Qianqing Palace has been repaired? And what should you do if you find a reason not to return to the palace?"

"That's right, do you still want His Majesty to stay outside the palace and be led by Liu Jin and other eunuchs to do something unresolved? If His Majesty sells any imperial property or even begs, will we all officials deal with it by themselves? Then more than one Minister of Revenue will resign from his post!"

Xie Qian also started talking quickly.

"Since that's the case, then take the money to repair the Qianqing Palace first, and let the Ministry of Works repair it immediately!" Liu Jian decided not to hesitate to repair the Qianqing Palace for Zhu Houzhao.

Seeing this, Wang Hua, the Minister of Revenue, could only say that he was.

Xu Jin, the Minister of War, has just been promoted to the Minister of War, and is eager to revitalize the Ming army. Replenishing the military of the officers and soldiers is his first step in revitalizing the military of the Ming army. However, he did not expect that the cabinet decided to use the money to repair the Qianqing Palace first. Although he did not object to the renovation of the Qianqing Palace to the Emperor Zhu Houzhao, he believed that giving the military to the officers and soldiers was the most important thing. After all, once the officers and soldiers make a tuition of money will affect the safety of the Ming capital.

"Gei Master, Lord Wang, a while ago, the Ministry of War wanted 400,000 taels to be allocated to Shaanxi Governor Yang Yiqing to repair the border wall. You turned it down on the grounds that the flood in Suzhou needs relief. Now the regiment camp and the forbidden soldiers have been owed for three months, but they still refuse to issue it! How can you tolerate the Ming army being so slackened! Without repairing the border walls, Xuanhua Zijing Pass and other strong cities can ensure the safety of the capital, but if the capital officers and soldiers are not released, the safety of the capital will be affected by the incident!"

"And if the officers and soldiers know that Your Majesty would rather use the silver to repair the Qianqing Palace than to give the officers and soldiers a rice, where will this be the trap of the king and father!"

Secretary of War Xu Jin tried his best to argue.

"The two powers are at least the least. The officers and soldiers are important or Your Majesty. Master Xu must understand this. If the Qing Palace is not repaired for one day, Your Majesty will have to live outside the palace one day. If the emperor does not sit in the center, the world will be unstable. And the officers and soldiers' Lumi has been delayed for three months and a few months. What's the harm? You, Lord Xu, work harder, please appease the officers and soldiers, and tell them that they will definitely be able to deliver Lumi before the New Year!"

After saying that, Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, no longer paid attention to Xu Jin.
