The Ming Dynasty during the three years of Chongzhen seemed to be developing in a good direction.

There is no big chaos in Liaodong.

There is no big trouble in Shanshan.

Other places in the Ming Dynasty did not submit urgent reports on disasters, civil commotions, or military rebellions.

Although there are still some disturbances in the court due to the influence of the responsibility system and the accountability system, the clarity of the cabinet also makes everything under control.

Because the cabinet, under the operation of Wen Tiren, was willing to implement the responsibility system and accountability system, this also allowed Emperor Chongzhen to give more authority to the cabinet by default.

At present, the cabinet is usually responsible for the troubles faced by the outer dynasty.

Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren, two Machiavellian politicians, one was placed in the military aircraft department and the other was fixed in the cabinet, and they indeed did a lot of things for Emperor Chongzhen.

However, Emperor Chongzhen also knew it in his heart.

The current calm can only be regarded as the calm before the storm.

After March, many problems will occur one after another.

The rogue bandits moved to Shanxi in full force.

The White Lotus Sect will emerge in Beizhili, Henan and other places.

Zhang Xianzhong will rise strongly.

Dashui, Shandong.

Jinling earthquake...

Under such a general background, how could Emperor Chongzhen dare to relax at all? There are still many things that he needs to do and plans that need to be advanced.

"Emperor...Master Huang, you shouldn't go out and walk around at will."

Sun Chuanting, who had changed into casual clothes, looked at Emperor Chongzhen with a worried look on his brows and said, "Young Master Huang is needed in the house. Now..."

Looking at Sun Chuanting who was admonishing him, Emperor Chongzhen tightened his sable cloak tightly and said with a smile: "Bo Ya, what you said made me so sick when I heard it before.

As the ancients said, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles.

If you only stay in one place and don't go out much, how can you know what's going on outside? I heard that there are a lot of changes at the Chongwen Gate Customs House."

"Yes, it has indeed changed a lot."

Sun Chuanting sighed softly in his heart, looked around, and said as he walked: "In the past two months alone, the total amount of various taxes collected by Chongwenmen Customs House was more than 370,000 taels of silver.

This does not include confiscated private salt.

If the batch of private salt sold on consignment at the convenience store can be sold at a fair price, at least more than two hundred thousand taels of silver can be obtained.

With the clarification of various systems, the tax collected at Chongwenmen Customs House alone may exceed 1.5 million taels of silver per year."

From less than 100,000 taels of silver to more than 1.5 million taels of silver, Emperor Chongzhen could imagine how serious the tax evasion situation in various parts of the Ming Dynasty was.

"The changes are really quite big."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly and said: "If the imperial court can collect so much tax money every year, why is it so easy to allocate taxes to various places because of the turmoil in some border areas?

Everyone said it was for the sake of the country and the country, but when they were asked to share their worries, all they thought about was to add burdens to the people.

It would be great to be an official in the Ming Dynasty.

If the various systems of Chongwenmen Customs can be implemented to the seventh pass of the canal, and the imperial court is truly under control, how much more tax money can be collected?

Boya, why didn’t the imperial court think about this? The duties that the Ministry of Revenue should perform are confused with the duties of the governor of water transportation. Isn’t this a waste of sincerity? "

Your Majesty wants to comprehensively rectify the seven major banknote checkpoints set up in water transportation.

But how could it be so easy to clarify the responsibilities of the Ministry of Revenue and the Governor of Water Transport?

However, if it can be implemented in one place and one place, train more corresponding officials, establish a sound supervision system, and clarify the retention period of Shaoguan, it can still be solved one by one.

If the above can be implemented, the country and Korea can collect at least five million taels of silver from only the seven major banknotes, but it will be very difficult and will inevitably cause a lot of backlash.

Looking at Sun Chuanting who was deep in thought, Emperor Chongzhen smiled. It seemed that what he said reminded Sun Chuanting of something.

"Bo Ya, when you get back, go to that person's house and have a chat."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled lightly and said: "Gather together what I mentioned, including what you are thinking, and discuss it carefully.

You can't bite off more than you can chew.

Calm down and get things done one by one. If you encounter difficult problems, solve them. If the rules need to be reset, boldly reset them."

"Here!"

With Bi Ziyan, the finance minister, sitting in charge of the household department and fully in charge of the household affairs, Emperor Chongzhen would definitely not let him idle. After all, the tax revenue of the national treasury still needs to be increased a lot.

The state's finances can be fully controlled on matters such as business transactions and customs duties. As for the tax money collected, there is absolutely no problem in levying seven to eight million taels of silver.

Emperor Chongzhen's requirements are not high. He just needs to implement these during the three-year temporary stabilization period. If he encounters corresponding problems during the period, he just needs to solve them.

The culture of scheming in power and fighting against differences with the party was no longer the only color of the country. Emperor Chongzhen felt that many problems could still be solved by relying on a conservative team of officials.

When encountering resistance and obstruction, and encountering violations of laws and disciplines, the factory security forces will not be indifferent.

After the three-year temporary stabilization period is over and the Ming Dynasty's chaotic situation is initially contained and resolved, systems involving more core interests can be implemented accordingly.

As long as you can control a sizable new army and completely obey Emperor Chongzhen's deployment, even if there are those who openly oppose or simply start a fight, then send troops to suppress them!

If the Yongwei Battalion led by Zhou Yuji can take advantage of the three-year temporary stabilization period to achieve great results in suppressing the rogue bandits and prevent the rogue bandits from rushing out of Shanxi and other places, then the new field army with 50,000 soldiers and a few auxiliary soldiers will be able to defeat Chongzhen.

The emperor must be established.

As for the senior general class who stayed in Xiyuan Lecture Hall, during the three years of temporary stability, if they want to take control of the three major battalions step by step and train into a new army.

How big can the scale of the new army actually controlled by Emperor Chongzhen exceed?

When the emperor of the Ming Dynasty can seize military power, have healthy financial resources, and compete with a large group of civil servants, he will stand on the commanding heights.

"Bo Ya, how do you feel when you walk all the way from the inner city to the outer city?" Emperor Chongzhen, who returned to reality, looked at the dirty and messy city and said to Sun Chuanting beside him.

"Do you feel that there is a big difference between the inner and outer cities of the capital? Especially the houses built randomly. Once there is water leakage, it will inevitably affect a large area."

The ideal is very full, but the reality is very basic.

Deep down in his heart, Emperor Chongzhen envisioned a beautiful Ming Dynasty.
