Chapter 264 The Emperor’s Thoughts (2)
"Although the emperor did not say that, the various inputs of the sea trade in the future, including shipping taxes, customs duties, etc., will all belong to the Ministry of Revenue!"
Zhang Ju smiled slightly, "Since Emperor Taizu Gao's time, he only entered the Lianghuai Salt Tax, which he had only entered the inner treasury. The emperor was willing to hand over to the Ministry of Revenue, let alone these!"
As he said that, he paused again, "But! Gui is Gui, management is management, but it is not...hehe!"
Everyone understood this.
What should be given to the Ministry of Revenue is to the Ministry of Revenue, and what should be given to the Emperor's inner treasury.
"And, this time the emperor allocated four million yuan in the treasury!" Zhang Yu continued, "When the sea is opened in the future, the Ministry of Revenue will still block this money!"
Suddenly, everyone around frowned.
Ru Wei, the Minister of War, chuckled in a low voice, "Do you want me?"
"I can't bear to let it go!" Zhang Feng smiled bitterly, "But there is nothing I can do! I'm stinging, but I can't be stingy!"
"Then..." Ru Wei's eyes rolled, "Where are Zhangbutang, the families of the nobles?"
"What's their business?" Zhang Feng glared.
"Why don't you keep it?" Ru Ying smiled and said, "Everyone has raised money to fight against Myanmar. I'm going to say that those nobles are now in a lawsuit with our Ministry of War. They say that what the emperor promised at the time would be reimbursed later!"
"Then they went to the emperor, but I didn't say that I would reimburse them!" Zhang Feng snorted, "A group of reckless men who are hard to calm down! When they attack Burmese land, as long as they pay for their money, who will not get it back ten times?"
As he said that, he said angrily, "Just let's talk about the Cao family of Marquis of Jingchuan and the Wu family of Marquis of Anlu. Just the spoils are just pulling back one by one!"
"These two families are slutty!" Hou Yong smiled, "The Duke of Cao and Duke of Zheng are silent and rich. The benefits of not being ostentatious or showing off are endless!" As he said that, he glanced at the right censor Yan Zhenzhi and spoke, "I heard that the sugar in Burmese is now monopolized by Duke of Cao! The mine was packaged by Duke of Zheng..."
"I'm so fucking over and impeach them!"
Yan Zhenzhi cursed in his heart, and as if his eyelids drooped, he pretended that he didn't hear it.
"When you get so many benefits, you still count the military expenses with me?" Zhang Yu continued to hum and said with a bad face. "They used to gather the troops to send troops to the army voluntarily! When they got benefits, why didn't they think about the Ministry of Revenue? The money for immigration is all the money of the Ministry of Revenue, and they didn't see them pay a penny!"
"You are not afraid of them! I can't stand it!" Ru Ying smiled and said, "As soon as I enter the Ministry of War, I will ensure that a group of young marquises are waiting for me!"
"It's not impossible to reimburse military expenses!" Zhang Feng suddenly sneered, "Let the people from their families withdraw from Burmese from Goryeo and spit out what they have eaten over the years, and I will report it to them! Otherwise... I have no money! Go there!"
"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed happily.

"Everyone!"
Suddenly, Xin Yande shouted, "Have you ever thought about a possibility!"
Everyone looked at Xin Yande in unison.
He continued, "The reason why the emperor is vague about whether various investments in the sea trade will be attributed to the Ministry of Revenue in the future is to make up the holes for Li Zhigang in the future!"
As he said that, he said in a heightened voice, "He Li Zhigang wants to raise 8 million military expenses, that's 8 million! Did Annan use so much military expenses? Think about it again, the emperor's special order was sent to send ministers to the Zhenla Ailao, Chameng and other countries."
As he said that, he whispered, "We went together, not only the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Lifan Academy, but also the Jinyiwei!"
What accusation does the Jinyiwei blame?
The emperor's personal army? The inspectors have the right to handle projects!
In addition, there is another right, which is to detect enemy situations, develop detailed works, and draw maps to spy on other countries' realities...
Li Zhigang was about to raise 8 million military expenditures in various provinces in Jiangnan, and he would do less money in the work of a big family, but now the emperor's appetite is never satisfied...
Opening the sea is an inexhaustible treasure chest and treasure pot.
If this treasure pot is really in the hands of the Ministry of Revenue, it is not the emperor who can use it as much as he wants. And once Li Zhigang holds this wallet, it is the emperor who can use it as much as he wants, and he can use it as much as he wants! "
Furthermore, since Li Zhigang did not plunder the people, he had to have a name to raise military expenses. The big eaters were not that delicious. This name proved that Li Zhigang was not a random levy.
This is what happens in the world. As long as you have a name, someone will pick on the account!
The big event of eight million silver may be said to be the evidence of his death without a burial place in the future.
And if the emperor does not want Li Zhigang to be ruined, the best way is to leave the matter of opening the sea to Li Zhigang and let him take charge of the entire wallet.
Suddenly, Zhang Feng's face became stiff.
Because he suddenly remembered that Li Zhigang had awarded the title of Minister of Revenue, and the emperor had not confirmed the candidates for the General Office of Taxation, Customs, and Inspection Department...

"Take this fried fish to Hong Xi!"
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yunqi was also having midnight snacks with Zhu Gaochi.
"You are so fat!" Zhu Yunxiu said with a smile, "Eat less meat at night! You say you are fat, and you ate a big bowl of roast mutton at night, how can you not be fat?" As he said, he smiled, "Eat more fish, this sea fish will not only satisfy your cravings, but also not fat people!"
"What does fish taste like?"
Zhu Gaochi moved his eyes away from the pepper and salt lamb chops in disappointment, looked at the fried little yellow croaker in front of him, and said in his heart, "It's all a thorny, piercing his mouth!"
Although he thought so in his heart, he still stood up and thanked him, "The emperor taught me a lesson, I am just greedy!"
"What do you think about the various inputs after opening the sea? Should they return to the treasury or my private treasury?" Zhu Yunhuang asked seemingly unintentionally.
Zhu Gaochi stopped his chopsticks and thought carefully for a while, "I think I shouldn't give it to the Ministry of Revenue!"
"Huh?" Zhu Yunxiu put down his chopsticks, "Why!"
"Civil officials..." Zhu Gaochi thought about it and said solemnly, "It's all Pixiu, only entering and not leaving!"
"Hahaha!" Zhu Yunxi laughed, "Speak well, don't curse!"
"I didn't scold you!" Zhu Gaochi also smiled, "As soon as the money is entered into the treasury, it will be difficult to take it out! Nowadays, there are many places where the country uses money! You can't sue the civil servants when it's time to use money, right?"
As he said that, he thought about it and said, "When the emperor and grandfather were there, it was a two-deposit system! He once said that only in his own hands can the country be stable!"
Family is the world!
What is the world of family?
It means that the world belongs to the emperor’s own family!
Zhu Gaochi's words are the best interpretation of the whole world.
Looking at the Ming Dynasty, the reason why the first few emperors dared to make drastic moves was that they thought they had money and did not have to talk to civil officials.
The reason why the emperor behind him was lacking in courage was because he was short of money.
It would be fine if you were short of money, but there would be no time for a huge empire to have sufficient finances.
At this point, the Qing Dynasty later learned lessons.
From Kangxi to Qianlong, the reason why I dared to use military force to foreign countries for many years was because the emperor's small treasury was solid! I dared to exempt the world from taxes so many times, and it was because the emperor's small treasury was solid!
Don’t worry about how the money comes from, they just have a small treasury!
A penny stumps a hero! It’s not a bullshit if you don’t have money!
The whole family is right!
But it looks right now!
But Zhu Yunqiu didn't want the Ming Empire to become a complete family.
"What I mean is to give it to the Ministry of Revenue!" Zhu Yunxiu slowly ate wonton, "If you want a lawsuit, just sue! Money is the income of the country and cannot become my personal money bag!"
"But we have to divide it, who will leave it to me!" Zhu Gaochi lowered his head and said in a low voice.
"Haha!" Zhu Yunxi smiled again, "You, are you whispering me in your heart?"
"I dare not!"
"Leave it to the Ministry of Revenue, who will be in charge..." Zhu Yunxiu pondered for a moment, "I will tell you something! I have spent the benefits of the maritime trade in the past three years!"
"Ah?" Zhu Gaochi was stunned and cursed in his heart, "I don't feel sorry for selling my son's land! You didn't even see the money, so you spent it? You were barking the dog before you even pulled the shit. What's the difference?"
Zhu Yunxi glanced at Zhu Gaochi and said, "Do you still remember Li Zhigang's proposal?"
"That stinky has made too many suggestions and he still said he wanted to repair the tomb for you! Do you want to use Haimao’s input to repair the tomb? Then how big does he have to repair it?" Zhu Gaochi cursed in his heart.
At this time, Zhu Yunyu put down his chopsticks and bowls, "Move the capital..."
"Yeah!" Zhu Gaochi was shocked, "The Emperor... Yingtian Mansion Long Pan Tiger..."
"Didn't you say it too? Yingtian Prefecture is located in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, and it is rich and powerful but not strong enough!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "If it is the capital of the empire, it is easy to lose its enterprising spirit in the long run, and it is even more difficult to resist foreign enemies!"
Bang bang bang bang!
In an instant, Zhu Gaochi's heart beat hard.
"Whether Annan or Myanmar, other surrounding vassal states only beat them, but not their share in fighting the Ming Dynasty! And in the north..." Zhu Yunxiu sighed, "Although it is wilderness, if it is not taken into the territory of the empire, there will be future troubles to children and grandchildren!"
"If civilization does not want to be destroyed by barbarism, it can only take the initiative to destroy barbarism! My Ming Dynasty is not only the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains, but also the world must become the Ming Dynasty!"
