Zhu Xu had many ideas about Europe, but was constrained by reality.

At the moment, I can only prepare while waiting for the natural disaster to pass.

Some beautiful scenes have been circling in Zhu Xu's mind, and they are already a little unbearable.

Zhu Xu explained again and left the Royal Bank and turned to the State Administration of Taxation.

Zhong Yangsheng resigned as Minister of Justice and had just taken over the State Administration of Taxation, and was also facing a complicated situation.

When Zhu Xu suddenly came to inspect, he calmly stated carefully: "Your Majesty, the current main task of the State Administration of Taxation is to sort out the details of commercial tax rules and promote the deployment across the country. At present, the State Administration of Taxation has established two parts: State tax and local tax, eight major branches and thirty-three branches, which have basically covered the entire Ming Dynasty..."

"With our deployment, the lost commercial tax in the past is gradually being collected by the court. It is expected to be more than 30 million this year. This is just a tax, not including salt, iron, spices, weapons, etc...."

"The next plan for me is to implement the government level at the county level, and to complete the relevant deployment of the management office in two to three years. At the same time, I took some miscellaneous taxes from the Ministry of Revenue and others. In three to five years, I completed the established plans of the Cabinet, the Ministry of Revenue and the State Administration of Taxation..."

Perhaps it was because Zhong Yangsheng took over the time he took over was too short, so he said it was relatively simple and had no practical plans.

Zhu Xu had read the memorial submitted by Zhong Yangsheng before, and had some knowledge of this, but he didn't say much, and then he gave a few words and walked towards the Royal Court of Justice.

Liu Shimin followed Zhu Xu, talking little.

Not only Zhu Xu cares about the taxation area, but also the cabinets such as Sun Chuanting attach more importance to it. This is the foundation of the court, leaving the household part, and the foundation for the financial resources and operation of the Ming Dynasty court.

Zhu Xu had a calm expression and was very happy. Many things, Sun Chuanting and others were doing before him, and he no longer needed to mention his life. He was always staring at everything.

After Zhu Xu left for a while, Liu Shimin stepped forward and whispered: "Emperor, Deputy Marshal Qin is here."

Zhu Xu turned his head and saw Qin Liangyu, who was wearing casual clothes not far away, still unable to hide his heroic spirit, walking quickly.

Just as she was about to salute, Zhu Xu raised her hand to help her and said with a smile: "You don't need to be so polite outside, just talk while walking."

"Yes." Qin Liangyu stood up, glanced at the people coming and going, and said, "Your Majesty, I have read your manuscript. I will modify it tonight and submit it to the emperor for the imperial reading."

Zhu Xu didn't care about this, and held his hands in his arms, walking slowly on the street like an ordinary person, smiling and saying, "Do you have something else to ask me?"

Qin Liangyu has been in the capital for a long time, and her eyebrows are firm and not as circling. When she saw Zhu Xu ask, she said, "Yes. Marshal Sun has made up his mind to retire. The arrangements of the General's Mansion, I ask the emperor to decide."

In fact, there is a tacit understanding in private, but Zhu Xu needs to speak out and make a complete decision.

Zhu Xu turned around and looked at Qin Liangyu and smiled and said, "The old general is worried?"

Qin Liangyu stopped talking and said: "Governor Cao's qualifications, military merits, and abilities are not inferior to those of me. I ask the emperor to appoint Governor Cao as the new marshal."

Zhu Xu looked at her, smiled and turned her head, looking forward.

The fundamental reason why Qin Liangyu refused was that she was a woman.

If she wants to succeed as the Marshal of the Grand Marshal's Office, she will also serve as the right assistant of the cabinet, and is the current cabinet master, with one person below ten thousand people. Not to mention that this has never been heard of, but the Ming Dynasty has absolutely nothing!

Countless pairs of eyes in the Ming Dynasty will stare at it!

Letting a woman, even if she is a veteran general with outstanding achievements, joining the cabinet to participate in politics will also be a test for the Ming Dynasty and the opposition.

But Zhu Xu didn't care at all. It was not only because he had a special plot for the veteran general, but also because this person who worked hard for the Ming Dynasty and devoted his whole life. Zhu Xu had to give her an explanation, and a good one should have a result!

Zhu Xu smiled calmly and said, "The old general doesn't have to think so much, I will arrange everything. The chief minister is right. There is only one marshal, but not the deputy marshal. I will add another chair in the marshal's mansion. The marshal is not in a hurry to retire and ask him to support him in the marshal. If you have any problems, you can ask for advice..."

Qin Liangyu felt relieved when she heard Zhu Xu's words. As long as she was not as marshal, the pressure would not be so great, and even the court and Zhu Xu would not be difficult to do.

"Yes, thank you, the emperor." Qin Liangyu raised his hand and said.

Zhu Xu waved his hand and smiled even more. Qin Liangyu couldn't control the situation at the moment, so she refused to let Sun Chengzong go. When Qin Liangyu was enough, she still had to take the lead!

Zhu Xu slowly paced, without waiting for Qin Liangyu to continue asking, and said, "About the Ministry of National Defense, the Chief Auxiliary said that it is just a reform goal, and there is no need to worry. The General Office will follow the established reform plan. Now we are forced to strengthen the military and simplify the administration. When the disaster passes, the military and political affairs will still be adjusted..."

Qin Liangyu walked slowly with Zhu Xu, listening to Zhu Xu's words, and said, "Weichens and others know that Marshal Sun has made sufficient plans. At present, the army everywhere is also striving to support itself, open mountains, reclaim wasteland, build bridges and roads, etc., which has also saved the court a lot of money and food..."

Zhu Xu habitually held his hands behind his back and responded softly.

Although the Ming Dynasty seemed very rich and spent a lot of money on silver, its foundation was indeed very weak. No amount of money could restore the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. Under such a fierce disaster, it became increasingly weak.

The government and the public were trying their best to stop it, but that was to reduce the speed of weakness.

Zhu Xu listened to Qin Liangyu's words and said, "Well, the plan to hide generals must be continuously promoted. Military education is very important and cannot rely solely on the military academy. There is also a severe crackdown on all acts of forming cliques and must not be lenient! No matter who or who it is, I will never tolerate it!"

Small gangs in the court are inevitable, but the army must not have a mountain faction!

Qin Liangyu raised his hand and said in a stern manner: "I understand."

Zhu Xu slowly walked towards the Royal Court and said, "After the year-end discussion, I will issue an edict, Cao Wenzhao will be the deputy marshal. With the help of Cao Wenzhao, the veteran general can be more relaxed. Anyone who pays more attention to his health does not need to work too much. There are more people who are counseling on military affairs. The veteran general and Cao Wenzhao will make a list for me."

Qin Liangyu said, "Yes, I obey the order."

Zhu Xu and Qin Liangyu's few words basically determined the established reform direction of the General Administration, avoided other interference, and gave enough support from Qin Liangyu and the General Administration.

Qin Liangyu reported some matters, mainly the rotation of generals in various places in the Ming Dynasty, the resettlement of garrisons, local relations, military pay, etc.

Zhu Xu's answers one by one, and his answer is the final decision, which is extremely important to the General's Mansion.

When he was about to arrive at the Royal Court, Qin Liangyu said, "I understand. After I go back, I will write a memorial and submit it to the emperor for approval."

Zhu Xu comforted him and watched Qin Liangyu walk away, then he walked towards the Royal Court not far away.

Before Qin Liangyu returned to the coach's mansion, her daughter-in-law Zhang Fengyi quickly came out and whispered: "Mother, what do you say?"

Qin Liangyu's face was normal and said, "No major change. By the way, you will send a invitation to Governor Cao in my name later and invite him to come to the mansion to have a drink in the evening."

Zhang Fengyi looked surprised. This was the first time since Qin Liangyu entered Beijing that he invited someone to drink at home!
