Chapter 33 Wrong (1)

"The Ming Dynasty's treasury is full, far beyond all dynasties!"

At the grand dynasty meeting in Fengtian Palace, the elderly Fu Youwen actually shouted such arrogant words.

For a moment, a little exclamation appeared in the court.

"Speaking of it, I am ashamed!" Fu Youwen said again, "Your Majesty said business tax, and the old ministers and others said that agriculture and sericulture are the foundation of the country, and talking about business tax easily may damage the foundation of the country. Now it seems that the old ministers and others are short-sighted, and the emperor clearly understands the situation.

Thousand miles!"

Who said that the old ministers can't flatter? Is this good enough not to say it?

Zhu Yunxiu on the dragon throne smiled slightly and waited for the following.

"This year...... cough cough!" Fu Youwen in the hall suddenly started coughing.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Tortoise."

"I'm here!"

"Go and send a bowl of tea to Fu Aiqing and let him moisten his throat and say slowly!"

"Abide by the order!"

~~~

In the hall, Fu Youwen proudly took the tea bowl, and then drank it with countless envious eyes.

Then, he raised his head and said loudly, "The old minister told the emperor that the surplus of commercial taxes in various places this year will be 2.73 million."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of surprising noise immediately sounded in the hall.

This money doesn't sound like a lot, but it's all real cash! This is the cash that needs to be handed over to the treasury, not food and cloth.

More importantly, this is the surplus, which means the number intercepted by local governments. It should be noted that a few years ago, local governments gathered in groups to ask for money from the court before the end of the year.

Fu Youwen's face became even more proud, "In addition to the commercial tax surplus in various places, Ningbo Customs' customs' silver price is 1.32 million taels!"

"Fuzhou Customs One million and Seven million taels!"

The expressions of the ministers changed from shock to excitement, and even crazy.

"Guangzhou Customs, 3827,000 and 60 more!" Fu Youwen shouted with all his strength.

Buzz! The court is in full swing.

This is all cash, cash!

All are silver, silver!

"Your Majesty, Ningbo Customs asked the Ministry of Revenue yesterday to ask for instructions, please allow Zhejiang to supply customs to the customs next year, with 700,000 pieces of cotton cloth and 400,000 pieces of silk and satin!" Fu Youwen continued to smile, "This is Ningbo Customs' visit to Guangzhou, and he was angry.

Give gestures!”

"Your Majesty, Guangzhou has also issued a document to the Ministry of Works!" said Lian Zining, the Minister of Works. "It is allowed to build a porcelain kiln brick factory in Foshan and other places to open a gilt and color bureau. It is said that marine merchants often cannot buy goods.

, go to the governor's office to play a scoundrel."

"All maritime merchants are so bold, they will be arrested and killed!" Ru Ying, the Minister of War, immediately furious and said, "How can the country in the heavens allow them to go wild!"

In short, the solemn and silent court was completely boiling because of Fu Youwen's words.

In other words, when did the ministers of the Ming Dynasty see so much money?

The civil officials are happy. Only when the national treasury is sufficient can the world be stable. If the imperial court is rich, there is no need to tear down the east wall to make up the west wall. Perhaps the emperor will be able to raise his salary if he is happy. Even if the salary is not increased, the salary should be paid to cash. The country is so rich

It’s not reasonable to pay the salary and use moldy rice and grain to make up the amount.

The military officers were secretly happy. With money, they could finally fight, right?

But it has been a long time since the 200,000 army went to beat the Tartars.

Suddenly, a voice came from the ministers, "Emperor!"

Everyone looked at it and saw Duke Cao Li Jinglong step forward a few steps and kneeling on the ground.

"I am extremely talented and stupid, but I have read historical books. From ancient times to the present, the national treasury has never been so prosperous."

"My Ming Dynasty is now strong and the national treasury is full of people, and there is no famine inside and no strong enemy outside."

"There are unprecedented times when government affairs are clear and all officials use their lives!"

"This prosperous era depends entirely on Your Majesty's benevolent politics. I have the honor of being born in the wise ruler in my three lives, and all the people in the world are fortunate to receive great blessings from the emperor!"

"The country of Ming Dynasty will last forever!"

After saying that, he kowtowed and shouted, "Long live my emperor!"

The ministers immediately followed, "Long live my emperor!"

"It's still the matter of the Cao Guogui, who can speak!" someone said in his heart.

But some people cursed Li Jinglong in their hearts, "It's so vulgar. I'm so unbearable. I'm praising Your Majesty at the moment. I'm so beautiful and beautiful. What's your Li Jinglong talking about? If I'm asking me to say..."

"Emperor!" Li Jinglong shouted, "I dared to ask the emperor to surrender to Mount Tai! I will show my merits to heaven and earth, and witness my glorious Ming Dynasty with the sun and the moon."

"I'm going to discuss it!" The officials shouted.

However, none of the civil servants spoke, but instead glared at Li Jinglong.

In their opinion, what is the emperor doing when he leaves the palace? He takes tens of thousands of people to Mount Tai, Shandong, and you, Li Jinglong, spend money?

The money from the national treasury belongs to the national treasury, not the emperor!

Some people even thought that if the emperor really wanted to go on a patrol, even if he was killed in the Golden Palace today, he would still be punished to death.

Some people also wonder how much the price has been reduced since Zhao Er came to Fengshan and Taishan, and how can the emperor agree?

The ministers waited for a long time, but they could not see the emperor talking.

He looked up quietly, but was shocked to find that at some point, the emperor walked down and stood in front of the ministers.

~~~

Zhu Yunyu held his hands behind his back, his expression faintly.

"I am very happy that the treasury is full and the country is rich."

"Because the country has money, when there is something, it will not think about increasing taxes, nor will it think about squeezing some oil from the people."

"With money, you are not afraid of disasters or foreign invaders."

"However, it's a prosperous era?" Zhu Yunxiu pointed at Li Jinglong, "Is it too early?"

Li Jinglong laughed awkwardly, "Emperor, if this is not a prosperous era..."

"That is also a prosperous era that is not worthy of its name." Zhu Yunxiu said again, "All the people in the world are full, and do you have surplus food at home?"

"But they have a place to support themselves in the old age and have little support?"

"Everyone lives and works in peace?"

"Does everyone have clothes and everyone have a house to live in?"

Zhu Yunxiu said the words, and the ministers became silent again.

"As far as I know, there are still many people in the world who have eaten without a meal, and their clothes are covered with patches. Many people, let alone houses, don't even have half an inch of the land for building houses, and even live in them.

There is no thatched hut.”

"Is this a prosperous era?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxiu smiled slightly, "I also know that it is impossible for everyone to live and work in peace and food without worries. Even the gods come, they cannot live such a life."

"I didn't mean to make my beloved ministers embarrassed, but I just wanted to ask you. Is the country rich? What good relationship does the country's money have to do with the people?"

"It is shameful to take the money from taxes to the people, but it cannot be used for them. Because I have collected too much tax, I have boasted about the prosperous era and said that I am the king of Yao and Shun?"

The ministers bowed their heads one after another, and many people have guessed that the emperor was about to have an attack today.

"You didn't find out, who was missing this morning court?" Zhu Yunxi continued to smile, "Don't you find it strange that the Minister of Justice and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple are not here?"

Then, without waiting for a minister to speak, he continued, "Jurong had a case a few days ago, and a powerful child raped a woman. When this woman went to sue, the county magistrate not only did not uphold justice, but was sentenced to adultery!"

"Ha, what a foolish case of fish-eye-eye-stained beads."

"Actually, this is not a big case. There are always evil people in the world. Wicked people always have to do evil and challenge the king's law."

"But do you know? After I sent the Ministry of Justice to conduct a public trial, how many people in Jurong County?" As he said, Zhu Yunxi's tone suddenly increased, "How many people go to the yamen and ask the imperial envoy to uphold justice for them!"

"There is a county town under my nose. Three yamen runners have been relaying the complaints and they can't even receive the people who complained. There are dozens of books and documents in the yamen, and the paper is written until it is exhausted!"

"Everything is either to suffer injustice, to inaction by officials, or to commit crimes."

"Jurong is right under my nose. Jurong is like this. What are the places where I am thousands of miles away?"

"Taxes come from the people, and the national treasury is sufficient to remember the kindness of the people."
