Chapter 208

Zhang Hao said that he would not play with Jiajing, and Jiajing was anxious.

This kid can make money, so he can't play without him!

"It's not that you encouraged my father, how can my father know that there is so much money here?" Zhang Hao stared at Jiajing and said.

"Then you can't blame me, you don't divide the money, now I don't even have the money for the Chinese New Year, and now the harem is still waiting for my money, look, just got the money, and I lost 40 taels. There is no way!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.

"Who are you lying to? The harem still has no money?" Zhang Hao said incredulously.

"Don't believe me? Ask Lu Fang, ask Huang Jin!" Jiajing pointed at the two of them and said to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao looked at the two of them.

"Really, there is no money. The domestic funds are not enough this year. The main reason is that the emperor has spent a lot of money to support the court. No, the things ordered by the harem during the Chinese New Year have not been paid. Otherwise, the emperor would not have done this. He also knows about the idea of ​​money, and you still have use for this money!" Lu Fang immediately helped Jiajing with a good word.

"Really?" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing.

"Really!" Jiajing nodded.

"Such a poor emperor, really!" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing with contempt.

Jiajing was helpless, and then said with a crying face: "I'm poor, I can't help it, who made the Ming Dynasty have so many corrupt ministers, hey! But, what new workshop do you want to build, tell me!"

"Big business!" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing proudly.

"Big business?" Jiajing became interested when he heard it.

In his opinion, the bigger the business, the better, so he beckoned Zhang Hao to sit down, and sat down himself.

"I want to build a soap workshop, which is similar to soap. Soap is used for washing clothes. It is cheap, about 20 yuan a piece, and ordinary people can afford it at home!" Zhang Hao said while sitting there.

"20 Wen, this, can it be a big deal?" Jiajing said in disbelief after hearing this.

"What do you know, who doesn't want to wash clothes, 20 Wen, I estimate that more than 12% of the people in Daming can afford it, and a family needs at least 240 Yuan a year, which is [-] Wen.

There are almost 2000 million households in Daming. Even if 1000 million households can afford it, it will be 240 million taels. After deducting the cost, it is estimated that there will be 200 million taels a year!
However, it must be more than that. Let’s just talk about my family. My family is estimated to use dozens of yuan a month. With so many people, and the palace, I estimate that it will cost 2000 yuan a month, maybe more.

The main reason is that those big families spend a lot of it, such as the houses of corrupt officials, let’s say Yan Song’s house, I estimate that it costs dozens of yuan a month, and they use a lot! "Zhang Hao stood there, counting for Jiajing.

"Two million taels of profit, yes, I want to participate in this, 200%!" When Jiajing heard that there was so much money, he would definitely do it.

Although there is not as much money as soap, the profit is really a lot, and I can do a lot of things with more than 100 million taels.

Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing after hearing this.

"Don't worry, according to the current new contract, the money will still be divided once every two months!" Jiajing immediately looked at Zhang Hao and said, meaning that he would not divide the money privately.

"It's agreed, get 10 taels once!" Zhang Hao stared at Jiajing and asked.

"You still don't believe what I say? Golden words!" Jiajing immediately promised.

"Okay! It will start in the first month of next year, and there are still many houses that are not used by our soap workshop!" Zhang Hao nodded and said.

"Okay! You do it well, this 1 taels, you have to keep it well, don't be cheated away!" Jiajing stared at Zhang Hao and said.

Zhang Hao thought in his heart, who else would dare to cheat his money except you?
In the evening, after Zhang Hao finished his accounts, he began to plan the soap workshop.

And Jiajing was looking at the memorial, looking at the memorial of the Ministry of Households about appropriation.

Jiajing was very annoyed after reading it.

This year, the total income of the household department is almost 600 million taels, which is less than last year.

Because there are more disaster-stricken places and more tax-free places this year, but the expenditure has reached more than 1000 million taels, with a deficit of 400 million taels. If it is not for the supplement of more than 400 million taels, Daming will not be able to operate this year.

After Jiajing finished the preliminary calculations, he became very angry, so he stood up, saw Zhang Hao writing there, and walked over to him to watch.

"What are you writing? After practicing for so long, you still write like this?" Jiajing came to Zhang Hao's side, staring at Zhang Hao and said.

Zhang Hao looked up at Jiajing, and then at his handwriting, it's not bad.

Now I can read every word clearly, and then shouted at Jiajing in a very unhappy way: "I'm not writing memorials, so why don't you care about me?"

"You, if you write a memorial, I will kill you!" Jiajing warned Zhang Hao and shouted.

"I won't write anymore, I won't let Zhang Juzheng and the others write?" Zhang Hao lowered his head and continued writing.

"What are you writing?" Jiajing asked curiously.

"Get away, secret recipe!" Zhang Hao immediately covered his paper and warned Jiajing.

"Secret, secret recipe? Thinking again?" Jiajing stared at Zhang Hao and asked.

"Ah!" Zhang Hao nodded.

"Okay, I don't want to read it, you write it, I can't understand it anyway!" Jiajing thought, this kid's soap is a temporary formula, and now the soap is also a temporary formula.

If it was someone else, Jiajing would doubt it, but Zhang Hao, um, forget it, trust him!
Zhang Hao sat there writing, biting the barrel of the pen from time to time, he had no choice but to remember some places unclearly, so he needed to reason.

"I'm really thinking about the recipe!" Jiajing said to Lu Fang.

"Well, I'm obviously thinking about the formula!" Lu Fang also nodded and said.

"That's fine, don't bother him, let him think about it!" Jiajing whispered to Lu Fang.

The next morning, after Zhang Hao got up, he didn't go anywhere, and continued to plan the things about the soap workshop there.

But at this moment, the six ministers, Zuo Shilang, the three ministers of the cabinet, and Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate all arrived at Danfang's side. They sat down separately, and each had a table in front of them. The final settlement began today.

However, they are located next to Jiajing Daotai, separated by the Moon Gate.

Jiajing sat on the platform and could see them.

Then Sun Yingkui, the left servant of the household department, began to pay the accounts, and told them that some accounts had to be matched.

"The Ministry of War spent 240 million taels this time, including 100 million taels of military pay, 80 taels of food and grass, and 60 taels of armor and weapons!" Sun Yingkui began to report.

"It's not that much, is it? The Ministry of War has spent 200 million taels. The military salary is no problem, but the food, grass and weapons and armor are not so much. The difference is 40 taels!" Wang Bangrui, the minister of the Ministry of War who just took office, retorted.

"Of the 40 taels, 20 taels of grain and grass were mobilized to local disaster relief, and 20 taels of pig iron were used to make local farm tools!" Yan Song said at the moment.

"That can't be counted on the head of our military department. It should be counted on the head of the household department. We made a budget at the beginning of the year. Our military department needs to spend 280 million taels, and now it is 200 million taels. Our military department still has 80 taels of accounts. Not clear yet.

Among them, we still owed 30 taels for the food and grass, and 40 taels for the weapon production of the Ministry of War.

This money is saved by our Ministry of War from grain and grass. This money will be equalized to us this year, that is to say, the Ministry of Households still needs to pay us 80 taels so that we can pay it out! "Wang Bangrui stood there, staring at Sun Yingkui and said.

"The Ministry of Households has no money, and the Ministry of War owes it first. When the tax comes down, we will give you some of it!" Sun Yingkui said to Wang Bangrui.

"That won't work. Now those people are urging us to ask for money. The Ministry of Household Affairs will pay us the money this time!" Standing there, Wang Bangrui said uncompromisingly.

There is a shortfall of 80 taels, and it is impossible to have no money.

"I'll talk about it later, continue!" Lu Ben sat there and said, and Hubu continued to read.

In the end, the Ministry of Industry was short of 50 taels, the Ministry of Punishment was short of 10 taels, the Ministry of Rites was short of 90 taels, the Ministry of Officials was short of 20 taels, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate was short of 10 taels.

In other words, after Jiajing paid more than 400 million taels, he would continue to be short of 260 million taels.

Now they all ask the Ministry of Finance and the Cabinet to balance their accounts.

After Jiajing finished listening, he was annoyed. He stood up and went to watch the memorials of various departments mobilizing money, all of which had rules to check.

Then, people from the Sixth Ministry and the Metropolitan Procuratorate quarreled with people from the Ministry of Finance and the cabinet.

If the money cannot be equalized, they will not agree, otherwise, there will be no way to celebrate the New Year.

"What's the noise, are you annoying?" Zhang Hao yelled angrily when he heard their loud voices while sitting there thinking about something.

Those ministers all turned their heads to look at Zhang Hao, and then fell into silence.

The account department has run out of money, and there is no way to balance this account.

"Is this how you settle your accounts? Zhen, this year I took out more than 400 million taels to make up for the accounts of the household department. In the end, there was a deficit of 260 million taels, huh?" Jiajing walked among them and said.

Those ministers all bowed their heads.

"I will pay for the deficit of the Ministry of War, Lu Fang!" Jiajing said as he spoke.

"Yes!" As soon as Lu Fang heard this, she immediately went to get the money, took out 80 taels from it, and handed it to Wang Bangrui, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

"Another 50 taels will be selected and given to Sun Yingkui. Didn't you say yesterday that you have no money to pay the military salary and salary? Hurry up!" Jiajing continued.

Lu Fang immediately went to ask for some money, and gave 50 taels to Sun Yingkui.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Bangrui and Sun Yingkui said immediately, clasping their hands together.

"Show them how much money I have left!" Jiajing said to Lu Fang.

Lu Fang heard it, and immediately came over with the money bag, and said to the ministers: "The emperor only has 30 taels left, and the Chinese New Year is still to come!"

Lu Fang finished speaking, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "You also have to be considerate of the emperor's difficulties. This year, the emperor took out more than 500 million taels, which is almost the income of the Ministry of Households. Everyone, you, hey! "
