I am the king of the dead

Chapter 173 Planning Committee

There are a group of eunuchs in the Daming Palace. Their mission in life is to make calculations and help Zhu Di calculate how much money he has earned from his voyages. They belong to the Inner Transport Depot.

"Xing'an, tell me, how much iron does the Iron and Steel Division need to drill, how much coal does the Coal Division need to burn, how much coal does the Coal Wells Division need to dig, and how many civilian workers are needed for these, don't they all have to plan in advance?" Zhu Qiyu put down his hands Sun Tong's Memorial.

The scale of Shijing Factory is much larger than before.

For example, there are less than 200 craftsmen living in the Wanggong Factory, but the Shijing Factory needs at least 2 craftsmen and [-] warriors for the iron and steel department alone. The entire Shijing Factory has about [-] people.

Zhu Qiyu has great expectations for Shijingchang.

"Naturally it is necessary." Xing'an replied without knowing it. Does Your Majesty have any fancy ideas?
Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "I plan to let these eunuchs who make plans, and the Du branch of the household department, make all these accounts clear."

Xing'an frowned, and then said in a daze: "Is Your Majesty talking about planning and saving?"

"During the Song Dynasty, there were three divisions of Yantie, Duzhi, and Hubu. These three divisions were collectively called Sansi, and they were also known as Jisheng. It's very similar, especially in the Song Dynasty, which specialized in salt, iron, wine and alum, the ministers were extremely busy."

The finances of the Ming Dynasty and the finances of the Song Dynasty are completely different. Of course, Zhu Qiyu knows well that the Song Dynasty can't do anything else, but getting money from the court is the best.

For example, the salt, iron, tea, wine, and alum are all monopolized in the Song Dynasty. How much to produce and how to mix them are all decided by the court, but Ming Dynasty is not at all.

There was almost no monopoly in Ming Dynasty, even because of the prohibition of cutting mountains and digging rocks, even mining classes were not set up. During the Wanli period, there were great conflicts with the courtiers because of the eunuchs of the mining class.

The only way to do something decent is to open the middle salt method, calling merchants to transport grain and supplying salt. It began to be implemented in the third year of Hongwu. One stone of rice shipped to Datong is equal to three buckets of rice in Taiyuan, which is equal to a small lead of Huaiyan salt.

The opening of the salt method began to collapse during the Hongwu period.

"Good planning." Zhu Qiyu nodded uncontrollably. This is the benefit of a long history. Whenever Zhu Qiyu said an idea, it immediately appeared in history.

He originally wanted to set up a planning committee, but Zhu Qiyu immediately had systems such as planning provinces, accounting plans, etc. in front of him.

Zhu Qiyu asked another question: "How is Lianghuai Yanyin doing this year?"

Xing'an was stunned for a moment, flipped through the memorabilia of the Ministry of Accounting, put the memorandum in front of His Majesty and said: "Huating, and Zao Ding, the second counties of Shanghai, are calculated to be responsible for the salt class of 63 yuan."

"Dayan Yin?" Zhu Qiyu asked strangely.

He learned a little bit before he realized that at the beginning of the kingdom, one salt was [-] catties of salt, which was called big salt, and the border salt merchants were small salt miners, [-] catties.

In the 14th year of orthodoxy, the imperial court distributed 63 Datong rice in Huating and Shanghai counties alone, worth about 120 million Datong meters.

That's still two counties.

The collection of salt in the Ming Dynasty was not limited to the government-run salt farms, but also started classes.

It is to recruit civilian husbands to go to the major salt farms to boil salt, and each stove will be exempted from taxes on 25 acres of land and other corvees.

It is to use the tax of 25 mu of land and other corvees of this person in exchange for salt.

"How much salt is owed by the entire Jiangnan Salt Field?" Zhu Qiyu asked after taking a deep breath.

Xing'an opened the memorabilia of the Hubu Du Branch and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, this account is not clear."

Zhu Qiyu picked up the memorial and read it for a long time, but he really couldn't figure it out, and he owed too much salt.

In the memorandum of the magistrate of Huating County, there is an anecdote that after the salt merchants went to the frontier to collect grain, they got the salt, but they could not cash it in the salt field, so they had to stick to the salt field.

At this time, the Kaizhong salt method has been completely corrupted, and the imperial court owes an unknown amount of salt to lure out. Every small amount of salt is a stone of rice in Datong.

How can you owe it?Where are you owed?How much salt will be produced next year?Why is it super-salted?Who is producing the salt now?

Is the Ming Dynasty's method of opening Chinese salt to be abolished?Or continue to improve?All these problems lack the support of data.

No one knows how many salt quotations Daming issued, and no one knows how much salt quotations the court owed.

This is how Daming's corruption has reached the family's finances.

Since the beginning of its establishment, the Ming Dynasty’s finances have been in a state of sustainable collapse, with more and more expenditures and less and less income. For example, before the farming of grain, it was the grain and tax of the army. In the 14th year of Zhengtong, there were only 400 Wanshi.

In the first year of Yongle, there were still 430 stones.

Daming is very strong, strong is strong. Under such a corrupt financial system, it has survived for more than 200 years, and it has continued to collapse for more than 200 years. If it were not for natural disasters and man-made disasters, it would still be able to survive...

The demise of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, is not to blame Chongzhen. Since the third year of orthodoxy, the Ming Dynasty has been in debt for 200 years. I don’t know that the Emperor Chongzhen looked at the ancestors and owed the 200-year debt. what expression.

"The eunuch who allocated the abacus in the internal shipping warehouse, and the bureaucrats in the Hehu Department's branch, cleared up this matter. I don't set a deadline, but I want to know the most detailed figures as soon as possible."

Zhu Qiyu said to Xing'an: "Let the Supervisor of Rites and Wenyuan Pavilion draw up an order, and get this matter done as quickly as possible."

"The minister leads the order." Xing'an bowed his head and said.

Zhu Qiyu intends to set up an organization like a planning committee. China's history is too long, so he can directly ask Ji Sheng to take over this responsibility.

Before the establishment of this province, the first punch was immediately launched to investigate the matter of Yan Yin.

The gang of eunuchs who settled accounts in the inner carrier warehouse finally felt that they were alive again!

Since the ninth year of Xuande, when Daming stopped maritime trade, they have been restricted. In the past few years, they have been living on Zhu Di's inheritance, and finally they have a job again!

For the eunuchs, the most terrifying thing is not being ordered by the emperor, but the most fearful thing is not doing their jobs, that is, they will lose the grace of the saints, and they will only struggle in the palace, and their disciples and grandchildren will all go to other homes to recognize their adoptive fathers.

Well now, Emperor Ming finally remembered that he still had such a department specialized in computing.

The account of Daming Finance was handed over to the Outer Court, and only two people understood it.

One is Wang Guoguang, who served as an official in the Longqing Wanli Dynasty for [-] years. Under the urging of Zhang Juzheng, he finally wrote "Wanli Accounting Records".

One is Bi Ziyan. During the reign of Tianqi and Chongzhen, under the pressure of Ming Dynasty, he settled the accounts and made the accounts clear. He wrote a book "Du Zhi Zuo Yi" to account for the inside and outside of Daming. Clearly.

Emperor Chongzhen, the most glorious time in his life was when he beheaded Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang in the capital in the ninth year of Chongzhen.

At that time, Emperor Chongzhen thought that everything was going well in Ming Dynasty.

The civil unrest in Shaanxi, which had been a disaster for decades, finally calmed down. Li Zicheng escaped with only 21 riders. Bi Ziyan figured it out for him, and he also had money.

Zhu Youjian, who lived in the ninth year of Chongzhen, never expected that he would hang himself on Meishan eight years later.

It is very important to settle the account clearly, and it is extremely important to the emperor, but if it is handed over to the outer court, is this account clear?wishful thinking.

Zhu Qiyu once again thought of Yu Qian's admonishment, the system of the country, the border government is governed by civil officials, the military officials are the commander-in-chief, and the internal officials are the guardians.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Qiyu went to the Beijing camp. He made a surprise attack and inspected the Siwu regiment camp in Tucheng outside Dongzhimen, which was directly under Shi Heng's control.

Shi Heng didn't expect Zhu Qiyu to come so early at all, but Shi Heng was not very afraid of the sudden inspection, he had completely woken up from his arrogance.

His Majesty clearly communicated that His Majesty is not a successful king, His Majesty wants to use soldiers, and His Majesty wants to sweep the Wala people into the court and plow their holes, destroying their bones and ashes.

If he continues to be arrogant and indulgent, and being punished is a minor matter, and he has no part in destroying the Wala people, he will be about to cry without tears.

Yang Hong's eldest son, Yang Jun, is quite capable of fighting!

Yang Hong is old and has obtained the World Certificate. He also reported to the internal affairs department that the succession of the title is not the most capable Yang Jun, but his son Yang Jie.

Yang Jun is the eldest son of the concubine and has no right to inherit the title, but Yang Jun always takes His Majesty as an example and wants to be knighted for his merit!This Marquis of Changping is passed on to his son, and Yang Jun will fight for a title by himself!
Shi Heng was really under a lot of pressure. The three deputy commanders under him had just left Fan Guang, who was capable of fighting, and Yang Jun, who was even more capable of fighting.

Naturally, I dare not slack off.

"Very good, not bad." Zhu Qiyu inspected the Siwu regiment camp as usual and was very satisfied.

Shi Heng hurriedly said: "It's because of His Majesty's good teaching, the soldiers follow His Majesty's example, always vigilant, and always do their best when they respond to training, so today's Fourth Armed Forces Battalion is relaxed and the military orders are clear. "

Zhu Qiyu shook his head helplessly. Shi Heng's arrogance and self-indulgence, because of the competition between the three regiments stationed in Beijing, became less and less, and this knife became sharper and sharper.

But this flattery is the only thing that remains the same. No matter how many times I have been admonished, I have never changed it.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "I've been in the martial arts hall for a few days, but the skill of flattering is getting better and better. It's your credit, it's your credit."

"I don't dare to take credit." Shi Heng scratched his head, and had to change the pattern next time.

Shi Heng thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, are you having lunch at the Siwu Regiment camp? Yesterday, I went to train and gained a lot. There is a young deer, which is quite fresh."

"Alright." Zhu Qiyu nodded, and then said with a little worry: "I'm just reminding you, don't learn from those groups of people, and don't do things like the induction between heaven and man, and don't want to sing bonfires and fish-bellied pills. None of this is good."

Zhu Qiyu ate lunch in the Siwu regiment camp. To some extent, eating in the Siwu regiment camp was safer than eating in the palace.

"After eating, let's clear up the food. Go to Xizhimen and the capital camps outside Fuchengmen, go to the Siyong regiment camp and Siwei regiment camp, and take a look at the beggar army led by Sun Boring It's gone." Zhu Qiyu got on his horse, followed by Shi Heng and Tiqi, and rushed towards Shijingshan.

Shijingshan is still a large construction site at this time, but it has gradually taken shape. In order to prevent thieves, a fence was built around the factory building. The fence is two feet high, covered with various sharp blades, and there is blood in some places.

There are dozens of wolf dogs in the factory, and these wolf dogs will disperse at night.

Zhu Qiyu inspected the four divisions and one official hall in the venue. Kuai Xiang, the general office of the Shijing Factory and the head of the Ministry of Industry and Repairs Department, rushed out from the official hall of the Shijing Factory. How could he have thought that His Majesty could come.

Kuai Xiang knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, "See Your Majesty."

　Ask for a ticket!
