I am the king of the dead

Chapter 904

"The Ministry of Household Affairs expressed its full support, and all the expenditures were paid out of the national treasury." Xing'an hurriedly said that the money was paid by the court, not internal money, and Shen Bulou was unexpectedly generous.

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and asked, "How much?"

"Eighty thousand silver coins." Xing'an said without confidence.

"Eighty thousand?" Zhu Qiyu immediately shook his head and said, "That's not good, it's too much. You know that our Daming just fought a war, and the national treasury is empty. If we spend so much money now, Hanlin and Yushi will point at me. The nose scolded."

Xing'an said rather euphemistically: "Your Majesty, the national money is empty or not, His Majesty is naturally clear."

Xing'an has tried his best to be tactful. His Majesty understands the account book of the Ming Dynasty's treasury more clearly than he does. The emperor is very clear about whether the state's treasury is empty or not.

The national treasury is not empty at all, and it is even rich. This is based on the fact that Xu Youzhen dredged the waterways in the south, the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty was building Jingxuanchi Road, and all places in the Ming Dynasty were leveling and hardening the official roads and post roads. The official ships of the Ming Dynasty Under the background of a series of major events in the country, the government and trade went south to the west, and the Ming army went to the north, and the Ming Dynasty was still rich in money.

The above-mentioned expenditures did not even use the high tax expenditure of the Ming Dynasty. That is to say, the high tax collected by the Ming Dynasty itself, that is, the land tax, still remained.

Just relying on the taxation of merchants and ships from several municipal bureaus and the investment from the Baoyuan Bureau is enough to support these major affairs of the country, and there are even surpluses. To do things, the courtiers have little confidence to oppose it.

The high tax system of the court itself is still running in an orderly manner, but it is getting weaker and weaker. The revenue of the merchant ship tax, Baoyuan Bureau, and official factories has already accounted for [-]% of the Ming court's tax revenue, and this figure is still at a low level. With rapid growth.

Of course Zhu Qiyu knew it well, but he still felt a little distressed if he was asked to spend [-] silver coins.

"Halve and half, these eighty thousand silver coins can hold eight sets of ten-inch bombs and fireworks. The movement is smaller, the scale is smaller, and the number of people entering the palace is smaller. The money saved will be allocated according to the amount of internal funds to reward the three armies." Zhu Qiyu In the end, I still agreed to choose the show girl.

The selection of beautiful women is a political activity, and the emperor's heir is the foundation of the country. Naturally, the more the better, but Zhu Qiyu still hopes to cut the budget. Eighty thousand silver coins are the salary of four thousand soldiers in the Beijing camp for one year.

Wouldn't it be nice for him to spend this money on rewarding the three armies if he could cut it in half?
"Your Majesty, is this halved and halved to [-] silver coins, or halved twice to [-] silver coins?" Xing'an asked tentatively. This matter of spending money must be asked clearly, and there can be no mistakes in the slightest.

"Can you still get [-] silver coins? Let's get [-]." Zhu Qiyu's eyes lit up, and he agreed.

Xing'an was blinded. I was really hard to do the errand of flowers and birds. The first phase of Jingxuan Chidao had a budget of one million silver coins. Your Majesty didn't even bat an eye. , must be done, but when it comes to such matters, His Majesty will kill the price, and Xing'an's heart aches.

Zhu Qiyu also has something to say. Back then, Chen Wanniang, the bustard offered a price of 5 taels. Didn't Zhu Qiyu get it back to warm the bed without spending a penny?
However, when Hu Wei communicated with Xing'an, he didn't care much about the word budget. As long as His Majesty agrees to come down and select, everything will be left to the Ministry of Rites.

It is absolutely impossible without money, but there are some things that are really not a matter of money, such as the method of selecting beautiful girls, Hu Yan has many, many ways to cut the budget without affecting the quality.

Zhu Qiyu said quite satisfied: "The 12 silver coins from the household department, together with the internal funds allocated, total [-] silver coins, which will be distributed directly to the soldiers of the Beijing camp when the army triumphs."

This is an extra reward besides the reward, Zhu Qiyu doesn't play so many bells and whistles, just cash.

Xing'an took another look at Yu Shaobao's memorabilia. The things that Yu Shaobao was worried about happened once during the Yongle period, but during the Jingtai period, Xingwen and Wu wanted to become the general trend. First, ask Your Majesty if he agrees Besides.

Zhu Qiyu's military talent is equal to zero, but his talent for making money is definitely first-class and powerful.

During the Yongle period, the prosperity of Wen and Wu was the general trend. If it is complicated, it is really complicated, but to put it simply, there is no one, no money, no food, mainly because the court does not have it.

But right now, the court has it, and His Majesty has it.

Prospering Wen and Zhenwu are state affairs that are costly and costly. Both of them require a huge amount of money. Why did Xia Yuanji, who has been the Secretary of the Ministry of Households for Emperor Wen for so long, oppose Emperor Wen’s final Northern Expedition? Firstly, Emperor Wen’s body I really can't support the Northern Expedition, and secondly, the court is really poor.

Zhu Qiyu leaned on the back of the chair, raised his eyebrows and said: "This year's New Year's silver in the Beijing camp, compared with last year, has an additional two hundred coins. Now a sergeant should be worth two silver coins. There are more than 30 coins inside and outside the Beijing camp. This is 60 silver coins, not to mention being rich, and 30 silver coins will be used to select a show girl. According to the usual practice, the national treasury will pay [-] silver coins for the New Year, so don’t come to me and cry poorly.”

During the orthodox years, the Beijing camp spent only 14 taels of silver a year, and the household department had to go around begging grandpa to tell grandma, and occasionally used salt to make up the money, or simply folded money. Not to mention these bitter haha.

During the Jingtai period, this extra New Year's silver has become a rule, and only this New Year's silver costs 60 silver coins.

Zhenwu is a huge expense.

"Bring a stick of incense." Zhu Qiyu stood up, and turned over the hero card of the Tumubao Tianbian who died in battle. After Xing'an was incensed, Zhu Qiyu sat in front of the spirit card without saying a word.

The emperor was surrounded by smog, and those roaring ghosts were looming. Compared with the ferocity at the beginning, these ghosts are now extraordinarily calm.

"Wait a little longer, the Oirats who marched westward ran to Taixi, to the horizon, and I will chase them to the horizon." Zhu Qiyu watched the incense gradually burn out, and then opened his eyes and said calmly.

I also brought the Oirats westward first, so can I hide?If Zhu Qiyu doesn't chase him to the ends of the earth, he will be hard-pressed.

From an extremely selfish point of view, as soon as the emperor Zhu Qiyu came to the throne, the Oirats entered the customs and besieged the city. This shame, as an emperor with unlimited power, can only be washed away by the blood of the enemy.

Xing'an opened the window to dissipate the incense, and the little yellow gate told Concubine Ran Ning to ask for an audience. Ran Siniang smelled the incense when she walked into the imperial study, she turned her head and saw the words on the spirit tablet, and then looked at Your Majesty.

Ran Siniang had never seen such a husband before, and Zhu Qiyu in front of her was still full of heroism, but the hostility all over her body made people's heart jump.

Zhu Qiyu sat on the soft rattan chair, adjusted his mood a little, and said with a smile: "Miss Ran, are you scared by me? It's okay, it only happens once a year. We used to hide from people."

Zhu Qiyu did not offer sacrifices to innocent souls during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, but waited until the news of the death of the Ara Zhiyuan before offering sacrifices, which made Ran Siniang bump into it. It is a well-known rule that there is no Mid-Autumn Festival in Tai'an Palace.

Ran Siniang waved her hand, took a sip of water and said with lingering fear: "Your husband scared me just now. My first thought was that something happened to Baibao Pill, and my husband is going to marry his concubines with his own hands. Look, I'm sweating."

"Look at what the lady said, how can we be so cruel." Zhu Qiyu said in relief.

Ran Siniang is the most favored in the harem. This means that the Imperial Study Room of the Martial Hall is as heavy as walking on the ground, and it is so favored. If something happens to Baibao Pill, will Emperor Zhu Qiyu of Ming Dynasty really be cruel and kill Ran Siniang?
Ran Siniang knew very well that His Majesty would definitely, with a glass of poisoned wine and a three-foot white silk, at most hide it by dying of panic. State affairs.

Ran Siniang was really sweating from fright.

Ran Siniang took out this memorandum and handed it to Xing'an, saying: "The Supreme Hospital judge Lu Zicai hopes to recruit good talents and let good doctors from the Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau in various prefectures and counties come to Beijing. The selection rules have been prepared, but it can't be done. .”

It was not the first time that Ran Siniang delivered memorials to the imperial hospital, but Ran Siniang never sent them directly to Zhu Qiyu, but to Xing'an. Rules are rules, and if you are favored, you will lose the favor if you break the rules.

"Ms. Ran is going through the back door. In front of my face, she acted recklessly and recklessly!" Zhu Qiyu taught with feigned anger.

Ran Siniang looked at Xing'an's leaving figure, tossed her hair, and said with a charming smile: "My husband is going to leave, so let me make some preparations, otherwise it will be dirty and not elegant."

"Ahem." Zhu Qiyu shook his head helplessly and said, "Little fairy."

"Small?" Ran Siniang started the car, she stepped on the accelerator to the end, she didn't know where the brakes were, she trembled as she spoke, her body tilted, and she naturally sat in Zhu Qiyu's arms, very skillful.

"Do you want to be here?" Ran Siniang looked at the imperial study and said with great interest.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the spirit tablet on the table, and then hurriedly said: "Stop, stop, talk about business, you take the memorandum of the imperial hospital every day and don't go to Dongyemen to send it to Wenyuan Pavilion, but directly to the supervisor of ceremonies, the courtiers know Gossiping."

"I'm the official of the Supreme Hospital, the official of the eighth rank of the imperial court! I will give a memorial to His Majesty, but Wenyuan Pavilion, why should they gossip!" Ran Siniang immediately said unhappy.

Zhu Qiyu frowned and said: "You are on duty in the imperial hospital, how did you become a court official?"

"I passed the exam based on my real talents and learning!" Ran Siniang said confidently: "The official Wang Ao of the Ministry of Officials refused to give me an official because I was a woman. Yao Kui, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said that rules are rules. You can't break the rules when you get on, and finally gave me the seal."

"When did it happen?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.

"Just today." Ran Siniang took out a copper seal and said flauntingly: "Look, Ran Siniang, the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital. I just signed up for reference under the common name of Ran Siniang. Take the exam."

The Imperial Hospital of the Ming Dynasty was not hereditary. Li Shizhen, the genius doctor of the Ming Dynasty, was admitted to the Imperial Hospital from a local area.

Lu Zicai can't do anything about it, this is Concubine Ran Ning in the palace, Concubine Ning is a thousand years old, after all, the Imperial Hospital is a cheap business, some things really go through Ran Siniang's way, and go straight to Tianting.

Ran Siniang said helplessly: "Speaking of which, the name is not correct, and the words are not right."

"I was on duty at the Tai Hospital, and I didn't know which wife I offended. They said that I was Yehu Chan, not an imperial doctor at the Tai Hospital, but I was on duty at the Tai Hospital. In the end, there was a lot of trouble in the city. After all, I have no identity, and the Lu Court's sentence is also embarrassing. I simply took the test for an identity."

After Zhu Qiyu heard the cause and effect, he fully understood the whole story.

Ran Siniang is on duty at the Huimin Pharmacy Bureau, and she is also on duty at the Jiejia Hospital. Ran Siniang is holding a scalpel in her hands, but few people know that she is Concubine Ran Ning. Ran Siniang is a gynecologist, a master of gynecology Good name outside.

The doctors on duty at the Imperial Hospital all eat imperial food. As a woman, Ran Siniang naturally does not have the status of an imperial doctor, and she does not know how to offend a certain woman, so there is such a trouble. Ran Siniang really does not have the status of an imperial doctor However, as the court judge, Lu Zicai could only falter and falter, and ended up with a difficult end. Only then did Ran Siniang pass the examination as a court official and became a legitimate imperial doctor.

"It's probably due to jealousy because of the beauty of the lady, that's why I acted like this." After Zhu Qiyu heard the cause and effect, he didn't need to worry too much if it wasn't for the courtiers using Ran Siniang as a knife.

Yao Kui is the minister of the Ministry of Rites. He actually doesn't know Ran Siniang's identity, but from the perspective of etiquette and rules, he thinks he can be appointed an official.

Wang Ao is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Ao is very clear about Ran Siniang's identity, and the reason for not giving it to an official is not because Ran Siniang is a woman, but because she is Concubine Ran Ning.

There are some secrets that you shouldn't know, even if you are the second-rank Master Ming, you just don't know.

"My husband really knows how to praise people." Ran Siniang finally laughed when she heard His Majesty's compliment, and Zhu Qiyu and Ran Siniang chatted a few more words about the restructuring of the imperial hospital.

The old system of the Imperial Hospital was four-season exams, and there were exams throughout the year. All doctors, engraved students, and dropouts who had to pay monthly courses were all tested by the hall officials.There are many official examination questions, such as "The Golden Mirror of Medical History", "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber", and "Internal Classics" and "Nan Jing" are used occasionally, and the examinations are presided over by the official of the Ministry of Rites, that is, the Ministry of Rites.

Lu Zicai's restructuring of the imperial hospital mainly changed from four exams a year to two exams, and the candidates also expanded from Gyeonggi to the local Huimin Pharmacy Bureau, and the examination questions added understanding and planning. Sentence co-chair.

The reason for changing the examinations to two seasons in mid-spring and mid-autumn is to facilitate the reference of doctors and nurses in the local Huimin Pharmacy Bureau, and the examination rooms are set up in the northern and southern yamen.

These restructurings are all due to Tai Hospital's desire for talents.

"Husband, is this going to select a beautiful girl?" Ran Siniang looked at the words on the cover of the memorial of the Ministry of Rites, and it was the boss's reluctance.

There is no woman in the world who is not a jealous woman, especially the matter of equal sharing of men, of course Ran Siniang is not happy, she is not a queen, so naturally she does not need to consider the overall situation, she is not happy if she is not happy, there are only so many pets, and one more person is enough to share. One point less.

"Is there anything you can do? The officials of the Ministry of Rites are also free. They will play it once I refute it. It is very annoying." Zhu Qiyu is not keen on this matter.

"As a woman, I can't stop the courtiers, but if the ox plows this field, it won't be able to plow that field." Of course Ran Siniang can't do anything with the Ministry of Rites, but she can do something with Zhu Qiyu.

　Ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! !The end of the new year is approaching, everyone visits relatives and friends, pay attention to protection.
