"Now it is a national crisis, everything is simple. Can you still spend money according to the highest requirements? You can find a way to solve this problem yourself."

After listening to this report, Zhu Cilang naturally could not do the same as Cao Renli said, if the entire palace would cost 200,000 yuan in a month.

Then in a year, there are 2.4 million taels of silver. For the current Ming Dynasty, this number is nothing, but it is not spent on the point.

"Long live, I'm afraid some things cannot be done like this. If there were no Gentile women, we could do this. Nowadays, some women from small vassal states came in, representing the face of our Ming Dynasty. If their letters go back, they will be majestic to the entire Ming Dynasty..."

Cao Renli considered a lot of things. It turned out that when Chongzhen was the emperor, there were not many concubines in the entire palace, so the expenses were only tens of thousands of taels of silver per month. Now that there are so many people who have been invested all at once, the expenses will definitely be uncontrollable.

No matter how frugal he is, 150,000 yuan in silver per month is a must. If he continues to pull down, the face of the Ming Dynasty may not be covered.

"I really want to save money but I have no place to go. It seems that I have to find some ways to make money..."

Zhu Cilang smiled bitterly. The income of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was already quite large, and now there is a surplus of tens of millions of silver. Compared with Emperor Chongzhen at that time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs alone was already twice as much as their annual income.

This is a good thing, but the problem is that all kinds of things have started to fight, and the expenses are more expensive. Although the ability to make money has been several times higher than that during the Emperor Chongzhen period, the ability to spend money has been improved more.

"Long live the lord, do you have to increase the tax?"

In Cao Renli's opinion, any way to make money is not as good as increasing taxes, which is the best way to make money in the country.

It turned out that when Emperor Chongzhen was in power, as long as the treasury had no money, he immediately thought of setting up a name to collect taxes, which would soon be able to resolve the economic crisis of the court.

"It's simply nonsense. If I'm not going to work on the pockets of the people because I'm out of money to marry my wife, it's better not to marry these people. What I'm talking about increasing income is of course to find some other names. How can I attack the people?"

Zhu Cilang said angrily, and Cao Renli was also secretly scolding him for having something wrong with his head.

Since our emperor came to power, he has always loved the people as much as his son and always wanted to give some subsidies to the people. How could he think about getting money from the people's pockets?

"I ordered a while ago to use a new method to make refined salt. What's going on now?"

What Zhu Cilang is talking about is the method of making salt. In today's era, although some white salt can be made, the quantity is too small.

If we follow the production methods of modern society, the yield can be greatly increased. Many rich people do not care about this or two of them in order to make themselves eat better. Of course, they are willing to spend this money.

"If you want to go back to Master Long Live, according to your method, we have made the well salt from Sichuan and sea salt from Shandong. The samples have been sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the original first-class salt. If it is thrown into the society, we can earn at least one and a half taels of silver every year."

When talking about this, Cao Renli was also happy. You should know that this transaction belongs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is not earned by Hou Fangyu's Lifan Academy. Most of the money can be handed over to the inner warehouse.

"Your head just doesn't go around. You can only do whatever you tell you. Since you have such a good break, of course you have to give some benefits to those small foreign countries, give them some rewards, and then give them a channel to purchase, including Western merchants on the Mongolian grasslands, who can do business with them. If all the ways are opened up, there will be more than one.5 million silver every year, even if it is 15 million silver, there will be no problem."

A few simple words seemed to have made Cao Renli open his forehead. Long Sui Ye was right. Whether it was Westerners or those small vassal states, some of the salt they ate had all kinds of impurities.

If we can provide them with a batch and make all the money about salt in China, at least the upper class will have no problem.

"I understand, Xie Wansui also advises you. If you only deal with the Gentiles, you have to cooperate with the officials of the Lifan Academy. Then this..."

Cao Renli said embarrassedly, originally they bought it by their Ministry of Internal Affairs, but he had the final say.

Now if you borrow a few people from the Lifanyuan, it would be a little hard to say. That guy Hou Fangyu is so clever than a monkey. How could he just contribute to you without paying money?

"I have the final say in this matter. If you want to cooperate with other matters, you will distribute them according to the original proportion. All the profits of these exquisite salts are assigned to half of the Office of the Interior, and to the Office of the Interior, and the other part will be placed directly in the Interior Warehouse. The other part will be handed over to Princess Luan for management."

Zhu Cixuan said, Zhou Luan had the financial power in the future. Even a little girl who was not open-minded would probably have to look up to Zhou Luan for the financial power.

"Long live, Princess Luan is not old and has never experienced such a thing before. If he rashly delegates the financial power, he will inevitably be confused by some people who are interested..."

Cao Renli said with some concern.

What he said is true. Although Zhu Cilang wanted to improve Zhou Luan's status, it was not necessarily a good thing to rashly hand over the financial power.

It costs two or three million yuan a year. If the arrangements are not done well, there is a high chance of turmoil in the harem.

The harem was implicated in the previous dynasty. If the ministers in front knew about it, they would probably attack Zhou Luan incompetently in this matter. At that time, no matter how much the emperor protected him, the position of Empress Zhou Luan would be unstable.

"Your little boy is a good at calculating. From now on, this guy will be the chief manager of the Queen's harem. I'm just polite him. You have to explain to him clearly what kind of things should be taught and what kind of things should not be taught. He must have a clear idea in his mind."

It turned out that the emperor had made arrangements, and Cao Renli nodded beside him. It seemed that the capable people under his command had been remembered by the emperor for a long time...
