Soon Yuan Keli was appointed as the Governor of Denglai by Zhu Youxiao.

The fall of Chenyang and Liaoyang made Zhu Youxiao obtain the right to appoint personnel for the first time. At this time, the emperor was very angry and had no reason to stop him from appointing a senior official of the court.

Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli, one was a Donglin Party and the other was an old minister of the four dynasties. Zhu Youxiao appointed them as the governor of Liaodong and the governor of Denglai respectively, so the Donglin Party naturally could not object.

Frontline officials have been appointed, but military expenditure issues are still troublesome.

Fortunately, the two million taels of tax arrears in Jiangnan arrived, so Zhu Youxiao quickly handed the two million taels of silver directly to Sun Chengzong.

At this time, the Ministry of War was quite reliable to distribute military pay. Unlike during the Chongzhen period, the Ministry of War intercepted 30% of the military pay was paid. Especially the current minister Wang Xianggan was the old minister. Wang Xianggan was old and might not have much ability, but at least he would not intercept military pay.

When Yuan Keli went to Denglai to take office, Zhu Youxiao took out a million taels of silver from the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty and handed over all his assets to Yuan Keli.

As for the deposits absorbed by banks, they must not be moved randomly. Once there is a problem on the front line, it may cause bank runs and other problems.

Therefore, the funds collected by the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty cannot be randomly transferred to national finance unless it is an emergency.

Zhu Youxiao didn't want to open and close the bank.

After the treasury spent 1.4 million taels of silver to subsidize the national finance, Zhu Youxiao had no money. In terms of national taxation, he had to wait for the summer harvest and autumn harvest, so he had no money for the time being.

Fortunately, Zhang Quansheng sent back the news that the glass manufacturing plant in Nanzhili had started production, and in the first quarter of the first year of the Tianqi, 1.2 million taels of silver were sold. In the next period of time, the southern market could be completely opened.

After reading Zhang Quansheng's report, Zhu Youxiao said happily: "Okay, there is finally money. He sent an order to add Zhang Quansheng to the Jinyiwei hundred households and let him continue his efforts."

"Yes, the emperor." Yang Guang wrote down the decree and then went to the Sili Supervisor to convey it.

After Zhu Youxiao was happy, he realized that the huge profit-making stage of glass products would probably not last long. After all, the purchasing power group is limited, and glass products can also be said to be durable products. As long as they are not broken, it will be no big problem for use for twenty or thirty years. When the price goes down from the altar, the profit will not be so high.

It seems that we still have to find more open source projects.

So Zhu Youxiao immediately asked Li Jinzhong to send someone to inquire about Cao Jinyu's grain store development, and Cao Jinyu quickly reported his recent business situation.

Because he became a Red Ding businessman, Cao Jinyu had the imperial edict and had a good grain business in just a few months.

The grain store has been opened in major and medium-sized cities in the north, and the funds are also huge. I borrowed 1.5 million taels of silver from the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty.

The biggest expense is to purchase grain, but the funds have begun to turn over. The main reason is that many of the grains purchased by Cao Jinyu were transported to Jiubian important towns for transactions with the border army. In three months, the scale expanded five times and the profit reached 30,000 taels of silver.

The profit is not very high, mainly because the scale is not large. At the same time, after the period of buying grain at low prices, we have to wait for the summer harvest this year before we can buy a large amount of low-priced grain in the north.

Zhu Youxiao immediately wrote two letters and handed them to Cao Jinyu, asking Cao Jinyu to go to Liaodong and Denglai, Shandong to find Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli respectively.

As long as Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli need to purchase food, all of them will be supplied by Cao Jinyu.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Youxiao issued another imperial edict, and the food consumed by the emperor's personal army was designated to be supplied by the "Jimin Food Shop".

This food store for the people is the royal food store that Zhu Youxiao secretly controlled. On the surface, it was run by Cao Jinyu, while Cao Jinyu's royal background was that Cao Jinyu made a contribution to buying a horse and was appreciated by the emperor.

The reason why Zhu Youxiao did not openly operate a grain business was mainly because grain was a bulk commodity trading, and it was one of the more important business projects for merchants in this era. If the emperor openly interfered in the grain trade, he would probably be backed by the merchant's power, and a group of court officials would inevitably shout about competing for profit with the people.

The official needs a large amount of food, first of all, the expenses of the royal family and clans. The number of royal family members is increasing, and the annual expenses are huge. However, the royal family members are scattered in various places, and the food service for the people cannot be fully covered, so it is temporarily the supply of food demands within the palace and the emperor's personal army.

The other one is the ministers' Lumi, which is also not large in scale. The number of officials in the Ming Dynasty was pitifully small and the salary was very low. When facing the national financial problems, the Donglin Party first proposed to "reduce money" and reason with the emperor, you should be frugal or something. However, in "open source", it kept silent and looked like talking about money was too vulgar.

Under such a trend, the places where the Ming Dynasty could save money were basically saved to the point where it could not be saved anymore, and officials did not rely on that little salary to live.

The largest grain expenditure of the imperial court was still military, mainly border troops, Liaodong.

The border troops originally had military camps, but after so many years, most of the military camps were occupied, and some were disrepaired in water conservancy, which made the border troops unable to be self-sufficient and needed to transport a large amount of grain to the frontier. Due to the rise of wild boar skins, a large number of elite troops gathered in Liaodong and also needed to consume a large amount of grain every year.

With the Governor of Sun Chengzong, the Governor of Liaodong and Yuan Keli, the military rations required by the Liaodong army and the military rations required by the Denglai Navy Division will all be supplied by the Jimin Grain Bank, which is definitely a big order.

Although Cao Jinyu is doing the military ration transportation business in Jiubian, it is not large in scale. The military ration business is mainly operated by Shanxi merchants.

The Jimin Grain Bank contracted the supply of military rations in Liaodong and began to threaten the interests of doing business. At this time, if the Jimin Grain Bank forced the order to supply military rations in the nine borders, it would cause a rebound from the Shanxi merchants.

As for the grain business in the south, it is mainly urban commercial grain. Due to the flood of commodity economy, population growth and other factors, the urban population is large. Jimin Grain Bank is currently operating in the northern market, and the southern market is currently unable to get involved.

After Cao Jinyu received the order, he immediately sent people to Liaodong and Denglai to contact Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli to negotiate the supply of military rations.

A month later, Cao Jinyu counted the official grain order, and the official grain required in the north alone reached 3 million stones each year, and the profit was at least 1 million taels of silver.
