Since he gave up remote control command, Zhu Youxiao was surprised by the sudden counterattack when he received the news.

Let's do something before the New Year and then have a calm New Year? Aren't these guys taking this idea?

Zhu Youxiao gently stroked his forehead, can't you let me have a calm New Year?

Didn’t it be agreed that Jiannu will come? The consumption of food, grass and supplies will be another unplanned expense!

"Li Qing, the Ministry of Revenue has raised a New Year reward for the military towns, which is very good!" Zhu Youxiao looked at the Minister of Revenue Li Qiyuan with a long time, and said with his heart: "This, the cost of counterattacking the Eastern Barbarians--"

Li Qiyuan bowed his head and replied: "Long live back, now the Ministry of Revenue only has Chongwen, Hushu, Jiujiang, Beixin, Huai'an and Yangzhou each of the depositary and clearing the capital of the capital. "

Zhu Youxiao heard the meaning. Not to mention whether this 150,000 is enough, Lao Li doesn't want to give it, but the Ministry of Revenue only has the silver price to suppress the bottom.

Li Qiyuan hesitated for a moment and still advised: "Long live the remarks. I think the reform has begun to show results, but it is still a bit embarrassing. The construction of the palace seems to be delayed."

Creation? What am I not doing?

In addition to using labor for relief several months ago, the Liao people who flocked to the capital cleaned up the ruins of the three halls, laid green bricks, and planted some flowers and plants?

Blinking his eyes, Zhu Youxiao understood, smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Li Qing misunderstood. That's not for construction, it's for the purpose of fire prevention in the palace. There is also winter heating, so I don't use charcoal fire, so I can save some money."

The palaces are made of wooden and are quite high, but there is not even a lightning rod. No wonder they always get struck by lightning and keep on fire! That's how the three halls burn?

This problem was just discovered by Zhu Youxiao. It is fire-proof, theft-proof and lightning-proof. This matter cannot be delayed. It seems that it will also cause thunder in winter, right?

As for heating in winter, Zhu Youxiao also asked someone to change the palaces into kangs and fire walls, burning coal stoves directly without any braziers and firewood.

In the palace, there are many charcoal supplies in winter, such as the empress dowager, the queen, the imperial concubine, etc., which decrease in turn. But even so, the amount of charcoal is quite amazing.

Not only is it expensive, but it is also easy to get carbon monoxide poisoning when heating with a brazier!

What Li Qiyuan saw when he entered the palace was that the craftsman sent by the Ministry of Works dug a pit and buried iron plates and installed lightning rods according to the drawings drawn by the emperor!

Li Qiyuan was not clear, so he thought that if you want to prevent fire, you had to buy a large tank and pile up sand. How could he prevent fire from using thick iron wire?

Zhu Youxiao did not want to explain and said, "I have read the cash receipts report. Although there has been an increase, the amount is not large. Only commercial tax has the most potential."

As he said that, he took out a document and transferred it to Li Qiyuan by the palace servant, and continued to speak: "The commercial tax will be reformed next year. These are some of my ideas. Li Qing will take it back and summon people to study it."

"Yes, I am following the order." Li Qiyuan bowed and took the document and asked, "Long live, I will be exempted from some of the tax grains from Susong's two prefectures next year. Will it be slow? Or will it not be announced for the time being, and it will be decided after the autumn harvest depends on the situation?"

Zhu Youxiao pondered and did not make a decision immediately.

Susong's tax grain is the best in the country, and is known as "Susong's taxes are half the world".

This exaggerated description is not praise, and the people of Susong do not want to show off. Because of the heavy pressure of taxation, almost all of them are pressed on them.

According to historical records: The farmer worked hard all year round and rented it, and did not eat rice in two or three months. He also thought that the wheat was ripe for the next year and thought it was the capital for farming. In the summer, he only ate coarse wheat porridge. He drove the water day and night, and his feet were all covered.

Perhaps it is also because of this reason that the people of Su Song mainly paid taxes through "small-broken silver". This is the so-called: "Those who have been paid a total of one million taxes for three hundred years still have their interest in the future rely on this mechanism and a loom."

Zhu Youxiao wanted to crack down on gentry and students in Jiangnan, so he thought of giving benefits to the people first. According to this year's exemption policy, people's homes with taxes of less than 5 taels will be exempted.

Li Qiyuan felt that it was inappropriate to announce it at the beginning of the year. What if a large-scale disaster occurs, you will still go back on your word and ignore the policy of exemption?

Zhu Youxiao knew Li Qiyuan's prudence and also knew that he was considering his reputation.

After thinking for a long time, Zhu Youxiao looked slightly, "Li Qing is a man who is planning the country, so this matter will not be announced to the public for the time being!"

Seeing that the emperor followed the advice, Li Qiyuan was very pleased and reported to Zhu Youxiao about the financial situation of Nanjing's capital.

The annual grain volume of southern grain is 827,000, but the accumulated amount has reached millions in the past year. After Zheng Sanjun was transferred to Nanjing’s Minister of Revenue, he tried to eliminate the problems, cut them one by one, and the nuclear power was false, and the national treasury was enriched again.

Li Youlan, Huo Huapeng and Ren Chu, the officials of the three census in Wuhu, Huai'an and Hangzhou, were all corrupt, Zheng Sanjun impeached, and the Censorate found that they were all confiscated.

Although Zheng Sanjun did a good job, Zhu Youxiao was not prepared to let him manage the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue for a long time.

It is not because Zheng Sanjun sympathizes with Donglin, but because Zheng Sanjun is a traditional official. Like Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Fang Zhenru and others, being upright is not an advantage, and lack of flexibility and flexibility is also an inherent disadvantage.

Litiao, nuclear deficiency, strict prohibition of invasion, impeachment of corruption, these are not creative means. Just like the Qingtun paying salary, you can achieve results as long as you are selfless and strictly enforce it according to the law.

Such traditional officials are not talented because of their lack of creativity. Zhu Youxiao is not a capable person who needs to use them for a long time and has high hopes for them.

In fact, after more than half a year of observation and adaptation, Zhu Youxiao gradually saw through a lot. Therefore, he deliberately slowed down the pace of reform.

The so-called promoting profits and eliminating disadvantages does not mean that new policies need to be overturned or even subverted too much.

As long as officials give up party disputes and attack, take responsibility for their work in a solid manner, and do not corruption or dereliction of duty, the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty will not be completely renewed, but it will definitely be obvious that there will be great improvement.

To put it bluntly, as long as the officials are in peace and tranquility, Zhu Youxiao felt that the Ming Dynasty could last for at least ten or twenty years.

Facts have proved Zhu Youxiao's judgment that in the past six months, except for the reform of the military system, there seems to be nothing else in other new policies.

It is just that the supervision of officials has been strengthened and the laws and regulations that the state has formulated are strictly implemented.

However, the national situation of the Ming Dynasty was able to boost it, pay it all, improve finances, relieve the people, and make frequent reports of foreign wars.

In the final analysis, policy mistakes are not the main reasons for the decline of the Ming Dynasty. The corruption of officials, the greed of merchants and gentry, and the depravity of students are important factors.

Officials, merchants and students have inseparable connections, forming the superstructure of the Ming Dynasty, which directly affected the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty.

With such insights, Zhu Youxiao was not in a hurry to introduce new policies that violated the ancestral system, so as to avoid being criticized and criticized, causing confusion in ideological and public opinion.

As long as Taizu severely punishes corruption and crack down on corrupt officials, evil gentry landlords, and depraved students who violate the law and discipline, the political economy and even military of the Ming Dynasty will improve and improve.

It's simple. Although Zhu Youxiao is not very sure, he is still very sure.

It is said that Chongzhen died of poverty, while the Ming Dynasty was destruction caused by financial collapse.

But was the Ming Dynasty really short of money? I am afraid that what I lacked is the court and the treasury can escape rats; the rich are the officials, businessmen and gentry, all of whom are rich and rich.

"I am very pleased that the treasury in Liudu is full again." Zhu Youxiao was still very happy when he heard the report, at least the southwest had financial support for suppressing the rebellion.

Li Qiyuan smiled and said, "I think Zheng Sanjun should be rewarded."

"Should you do this." Zhu Youxiao laughed and said, "I will not treat loyal ministers who are loyal to the work. The same is true for Li Qing, and the grace will arrive soon."

"I thank you for your kindness." Li Qiyuan was not polite, and then said thank you and left.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and Zheng Sanjun had to spend a while, and then he still had to be sent to the local area to work.

Because Zheng Sanjun is also an official who started working from the local area, he has a very practical and considerate of the people.

When he was the magistrate of Zhending Prefecture, Zhili, he recruited craftsmen from the south to build water trucks for water withdrawal. The people's idleness is countless, and they gained the benefits of paddy fields. The people's name is "Zheng Gongche".

When the Zhongxian official Zhigui Guide (now Shangqiu City), the river estuary burst, and it was famine caused by floods. Zheng Sanjun raised the victims of disaster, repaired water conservancy, restored fields, and protected people's livelihood. It was also strictly prohibited for the vassal of vassals to occupy the fields of the people.

Zhu Youxiao is relatively relaxed in officials who can do their jobs in a solid manner and benefit the people. However, he is not very polite to the bullshit rumor who talks loudly and attacks wantonly, no matter what party or faction he is.

Although the Ministry of Revenue cannot afford the money, it cannot help Zhu Youxiao, and he doesn't even have to touch his old capital.

Whether it is a civil servant or an internal official, corrupt people are the targets of the emperor's severe punishment.

After Wang Guozhong took over the weaving of Suzhou and Hangzhou, the eunuch Li Shi, who stepped down as the eunuch who returned to Beijing, was taken down by Lao Wei. The more than 200,000 taels of corrupt money were entered into the inner treasury, which really made Zhu Youxiao Longyan happy.

Well, I will go in and out with my left hand and reward the soldiers without hesitation.

Zhu Youxiao calculated it and it should be enough, and there was still some left.

His mood improved again, and Zhu Youxiao also felt that this emperor was too obsessed with money.

But there is nothing I can do. If I don’t slash and do it carefully, I can’t even sit on the dragon throne. I am a man who is determined to live for another five hundred years. I have to think longer and not make random flowers.

A figure flashed at the entrance of the hall. Zhu Youxiao glanced at it and found that it was Li Chengcheng. He walked in with Xiaobai in his arms, and sat down at the small table at the corner of the hall with his eyebrows down.

Hamster Buckon Chengcheng turned into a cat slave, which sounds very funny.

Zhu Youxiao smiled pursed his lips and shouted, "Come here, play the game of guessing the front and back with me."

Li Chengcheng's face immediately turned red, he slowly took out the silver dollar from the drawer and rubbed it shyly.

Little girl, it seems like I bully you.

If you lose, I kiss you, and if you win, you kiss you, how fair?

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand very generously and said shyly: "If you don't take advantage of you, you can throw it away first, I'll guess it. Is it fair?"

Li Chengcheng lowered his head, bit his lower lip shyly, and thought to himself: This is not a good deal, it is fair, you are really that, you are really that.
