Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 432: Your Majesty, I really am not interested in the money anymore
Zhu Di said quietly: "In this case, the money should also belong to our internal funds."

Yu Xin was anxious, and his face suddenly filled with sorrow, "Your Majesty, I am not interested in the money, but it is just before the new year is approaching, and the household department is really destitute of a penny.

Even if His Majesty is preparing for war in Peiping and Daning, and to attack the Tatars in the spring of next year, the Ministry of Revenue cannot allocate a penny!

Everyone in the household has been so worried that they can’t sleep these past few days..."

"Your Majesty, I personally went to check it out. The big ship from Japan was full of silver, at least 300 million taels of silver. This silver is the life-saving medicine for our Ming Dynasty...

Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue only needs to borrow 200 million taels of silver to survive this year..."

Zhu Di was still livid, sitting and staring at Yu Xin without saying a word.

Yu Xin felt cruel in his heart and continued: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to the country, and everything I said is absolutely true. If it weren't for the money from the Japanese country, I would be fine."

The expenses of the court this year are so high, even if Wei Chen is killed, Wei Chen will not be able to collect enough money to give year-end bonuses to the officials around the world, let alone prepare food and supplies for the expedition..."

One side.

Zhu Gaochi, Jin Zhong, Shang Kezhou, Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and others were stunned.

Is this really the second-rank Minister of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty?
They are simply worse than these people!

The corner of Zhu Di's mouth twitched slightly, and he said angrily: "Why didn't there be so much money when the emperor was taking the exam? Even the court money was enough.

And now, as soon as we ascend the throne, the court money will not be enough? "

Yu Xin said: "Your Majesty, because before, when the court had insufficient money, it could print treasure banknotes!"

"Then why don't we print treasure banknotes this year..."

After saying that, Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh heavily and said helplessly: "That's our money!"

A hint of joy flashed in Yu Xin's eyes. He was ready to be scolded by Zhu Di, but he didn't expect that Zhu Di didn't scold him.

In this way, this Emperor Hong Ding is much kinder than that Emperor Hong Wu!
Not so protective of money either!
"Your Majesty, I only want to borrow 200 million taels of silver!"

Yu Xin said hurriedly: "Now, the Chamber of Commerce of Prince Yan's Mansion in Beiping can earn millions of taels of silver every year from its business with Goryeo Yan...

Coupled with the Maritime Chamber of Commerce, especially the recent rise of passenger ships in the capital, Wei Chen heard the report that hundreds of passenger ships can earn 20 treasure notes every month...

In addition, there are taxes from the Goryeo Kingdom and the silver mines from the Japanese Kingdom...

Your Majesty, this money income is enough to withstand Ming Dynasty’s taxes!

Your Majesty, Daming..."

"Okay, okay, aren't you people just eyeing the money shipped from Japan?"

Zhu Di said impatiently, secretly shocked.

He suddenly discovered that all the officials in the court were silent and had discovered all the shops and merchants where he made money.

Especially how much money the shipping company makes in a month, Guo An hasn't reported to him yet.

And now, Hubu actually knows about it?
Yu Xin saluted Zhu Di, "Your Majesty, you are wise!"

Zhu Di asked: "How many taels of silver does your household department lack?"

Yu Xin's eyes lit up, "Your Majesty, the expenses of the court are too high. The Ministry of Household Affairs needs at least 200 million taels of silver to survive this year."

"100 taels!"

Zhu Di said directly, "You and others are incompetent in the Ministry of Revenue. The Ming Dynasty, which has great promise, can't make ends meet every year, and corrupt officials can be caught every year!

The most we can lend you is 100 million taels of silver! "

Yu Xin's face turned bitter, but he still quickly defended: "Your Majesty clearly knows that every piece of silver allocated by the Ministry of Finance has real evidence, and there is absolutely no corruption.

One million taels of silver is really not enough! "

Zhu Di said firmly: "Only 100 million taels of silver!"

Yu Xin said shamelessly again: "Your Majesty, I only borrow 200 million taels of silver...

Your Majesty, you have the Peking Yanwang Mansion Chamber of Commerce, the Capital Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce, as well as shipping companies, maritime trade fleets, Japanese silver mines...

Your Majesty, please don't lie to me. These are enough to make you tens of millions of taels of silver a year.

Weichen Hubu is really helpless, so he has no choice but to ask you to borrow money..."

On the side, Guo An couldn't help but said: "Yu Shangshu, from the Chamber of Commerce of Prince Yan's Mansion in Peking, as well as the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce in the capital, including the shipping company, only [-]% of them belong to your Majesty at most.

The rest is not His Majesty’s! "

Yu Xin slightly arched his hands towards Guo An, "Thank you, Guo Changshi, for reminding me, but I believe that with Dinghaihou, the chief financial officer here, your majesty will definitely make more and more money in the future!
Especially when the fleet to the West returns, the money in His Majesty's hands will directly exceed the national treasury..."

Zhu Di's eyes narrowed, he glared at Yu Xin angrily, and asked: "Two million taels is just 200 million taels. If the Ministry of Household Affairs doesn't think of ways to save money for the Ming Dynasty and make money for the court, and stares at us all day long, what's this? What’s your intention?”

Yu Xin quickly bowed his hands towards Zhu Di and saluted, "Your Majesty's kindness is a blessing to the people of the world!"

After saying that, he couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Marquis Dinghai is known as the chief financial officer in the history. Now Marquis Dinghai is at home, which is a great loss for our Ming Dynasty. Why not invite Marquis Dinghai to come to the Ministry of Household Affairs? I would like to be the deputy of Marquis Dinghai!

In this way, the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty will definitely far exceed that of the Tang Dynasty! "

Guo An was startled. Now that he is a human being, everyone knows that Zhu Di's goal is to surpass the prosperous Tang Dynasty?

Zhu Di's eyes lit up and he subconsciously looked at Guo An.

How prosperous could Guo An manage the Yan Palace and Beiping Palace just as the chief historian of Prince Yan's Palace?

If Guo An is allowed to join the Household Department, wouldn't it be so great?
The more he thought about it, the more excited Zhu Di became!
Guo An was shocked and shook his head repeatedly, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for tens of millions of people throughout the Ming Dynasty, such as their fields, household registrations, yellow rolls, taxes, accounts, official salaries... and other important matters. The responsibilities are so heavy that no one can imagine. Can take charge.

Your Majesty should also be aware of Wei Chen's abilities. Although Wei Chen can make money, he is not good enough to work in the Ministry of Household Affairs. "

Thinking of Guo An's temperament, the fire in Zhu Di's heart immediately dissipated.

Guo An added: "Your Majesty, I have to be in charge of the Shenji Camp now!"

"Divine Machine Camp?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help but glare at Guo An.

"Speaking of this, does Guo Qing know where the Shenji Camp is located? Where does the gate open?" Guo An: "..."

Above, Zhu Gaochi also looked at Guo An with a strange expression.

As for Shang Kezhou, Jin Zhong, Chen Shou and others, their faces were full of doubts.

Yu Xin was the only one who didn't care about the affairs of the Shenji Camp.

However, after hearing that Guo An refused to go to the Ministry of Husbandry and Zhu Di did not force it, a flash of disbelief flashed in Yu Xin's heart. Now there are actually people who are unwilling to go to the Sixth Ministry as an official, and it is also the Ministry of Husbandry?

Fortunately.

Yu Xin still knew the purpose of his hurry.

"May I ask Your Majesty, when can I bring people with me to collect money?"

"How many people do you have in your household department?"

Zhu Di smiled lightly and said, "We will send someone to deliver it to you tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yu Xin didn't think much and quickly thanked him.

Zhu Di said again with a solemn expression: "Please remember, Yu Qing, that we lent this money to the court from our own funds, and the court will have to return it in the future!"

Yu Xin nodded repeatedly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this money was definitely borrowed from your Majesty's internal funds by the court!"

Zhu Di was still a little worried and said: "Tomorrow, hand over the IOU, stamp it with the seal of the Ministry of Revenue, and hand it over to us!"

The corners of Yu Xin's eyes twitched slightly, but he still nodded.

"Wei Chen will go back now and write an IOU to His Majesty!"

Zhu Di waved his hand slowly, "Go!"

"Wei Chen retire!"

……

Not long after Yu Xin exited, the banquet in the palace began.

However, at this banquet.

Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and other generals behaved themselves and did not do anything extraordinary.

After congratulating Zhu Di one by one, they asked again: "May I ask Your Majesty, what kind of army is the Shenji Battalion?"

Zhu Di said with a proud look on his face: "The army of divine machine artillery all uses muskets, artillery, and grenades!"

"All using muskets, artillery, grenades?"

The faces of Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and others changed. Thinking of the scene where thousands of guns were fired and artillery and grenades hit the enemy like hailstones, they couldn't help but take a cold breath and said, "Such a huge army, what kind of army can it be?" withstand?"

Zhu Di said: "Our Shenji Camp will be invincible and invincible."

Chen Shou thought for a while and then asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, if all the soldiers in the Shenji Battalion use firearms, wouldn't it mean that they can only defeat the enemy but cannot pursue them?"

Zhu Di glanced at Chen Shou appreciatively and said, "We have already thought of this.

Below the Shenji Camp, another one to five thousand subordinate camps were set up to specifically assist the Shenji Camp! "

"Five thousand people going down to camp?"

Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and others' eyes lit up, and they quickly raised their hands and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to serve as the auxiliary general of Shenji Camp!"

"Your Majesty, I am also willing to go to the five thousand lower camp!"

Zhu Di glanced at Chen Shou and Zhang Xing with a half-smile, "You can guard Korea and Japan for us, don't worry.

As for the general of the Five Thousand Lower Camp, we decided to hand it over to Zhang Yu! "

"Zhang Yu?"

Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and others were stunned again.

"Exactly!"

Zhu Di nodded slowly, "Shimei is familiar with the Mongolian fighting habits and is resourceful. We can rest assured that we are following Guo Qing!"

Chen Shou couldn't help but look willing, "Your Majesty, the general is also resourceful and will definitely take good care of Marquis Dinghai!"

On the side, Guo An's face darkened.

Zhu Di looked disdainful.

"You think that we don't understand your temperament? If a shocking feat suddenly falls in front of you, how can you hold it back?"

Chen Shou and Zhang Xing couldn't help but smile.

Zhu Di added: "The main soldiers of the Shenji Battalion and the Five Thousand Lower Battalion are the generals and lieutenants. We plan to use more Yanshan Guards.

If there are any clever captains under your command, all of you can report them! "

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and others suddenly looked overjoyed.

With such a huge benefit, Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and others suddenly became excited.

Zhu Di looked at Jin Zhong, Shang Kezhou and others again.

"It's not long before you go to Goryeo. If you want to come back to Daming, you can tell us directly or tell Guo Qing!
When you come back, although you will not be a minister of the Six Bubu, you can also be a doctor of the Six Bubu, or a magistrate of a certain state! "

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love!"

Jin Zhong and Shang Ke Zhou Ji quickly expressed their gratitude.
