Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty: Suppress the mythical martial arts at the beginning!

Chapter 75: Because of His Majesty’s problem, I can’t sleep at night!

Seeing the crazy look of Sheng Duanming, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Fang Bu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, did not dare to argue with him.

He was afraid that if the other party got angry again, his withered body would collapse.

Fang Blun could only explain gently:
"Don't forget that there have been more taxes in recent times, but there are more places where the court needs to spend money!"

"Last time, with a wave of his hand, His Majesty directly allocated 300 million taels of silver to increase the military strength of the Third Battalion of the Capital."

"Now the accounts of the household department are completely empty. I really can't free up any more money!"

"You guys. Even if you tie me up, my household department will never take out a tael of silver!"

Seeing that the Minister of the Ministry of Finance looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, Sheng Duanming could only sit down in frustration.

Chief Assistant Gao Gong even sighed loudly and said:
"Now the Ministry of Finance cannot move money out"

"How can we start cultivating this official way?"

"The prosperous age of the Ming Dynasty, will it be hindered by the lack of money?"

After Gao Gong said this, the sad look on Zhang Ju's face became more intense.

There were even more blood streaks in Sheng Duanming's eyeballs.

The entire cabinet took on an atmosphere of decadence.

in the cabinet.

After Fang Pu, the Minister of Household Affairs, saw how miserable he was, the three ministers in the court all felt a sense of despair.

I also know that overhauling officialdom is actually the way to strengthen a country.

After thinking for a moment, he gave the three ministers advice:

"This is to raise money for building officialdom, but it does not necessarily require money from the court."

"Are you guys not thinking about it and starting from other aspects?"

As soon as Fang Blun said this, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and Sheng Duanming once again showed their hungry wolf-like eyes, staring at Fang Blun.

Gao Gong stood up with a withered face, rushed to Fang Dui and said loudly:

"If you have any idea, just tell me!"

"Didn't you see how many people waiting for me are almost sick?"

Facing the gazes of several people, Fang Bu, the Minister of Household Affairs, said proudly:
"When it comes to the science of governing the world, I can't even keep up with the three of them even if I am too blunt."

"But when it comes to raising money, I, as the Minister of Household Affairs, earned my title solely based on my ability!"

After Fang Blun said this, seeing that the three people in front of him were about to gather around him again, he quickly blurted out his method.

"Think about it, who is taking advantage of this major overhaul of official roads and connecting trade routes from various places?"

"They are my businessmen from various places in the Ming Dynasty!"

"The purpose of building official roads was for the commercial transportation of the Ming Dynasty. If it benefits merchants in this way, is there any reason why those merchants can't provide money?"

"In my opinion, since there is a shortage of money to build officialdom, we will go directly to those businessmen!"

"Anyway, as long as the trade routes open up, their losses will be recouped in a short time."

"We will increase business taxes first. If the money is still not enough, we will go to large businesses one by one to raise donations!"

Fang's blunt words are tantamount to dropping a dry land thunder in the cabinet!
The First Assistant Gao Gong, the Second Assistant Zhang Juzheng, and the Minister of Industry Sheng Duanming all stared at Fang Bluntly with their eyes wide open!

They had never considered that they could raise donations from those businessmen.

The three of them chewed on the method proposed by Fang Rui, and after a while, they all stood up together.

That unified posture startled Fang Blun again. He was afraid that something might happen to the bodies of these three important court officials when they were agitated.

Just listen to Gao Gong saying to everyone:

"Let's go! We will report to His Majesty right away!"

"If His Majesty agrees, we will start by increasing business taxes!" As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Gong immediately formulated a plan to raise silver coins and passed it all the way to the imperial study.

When Zhu Yijun received the cabinet's plan to raise money, he approved it on the spot.

I just knew that the three ministers Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and Sheng Duanming had not slept for several nights because of the matter of raising money to repair officialdom.

After all, he asked the chamberlain to send a message to several ministers to pay attention to their physical rest.

After receiving the emperor's approval, the cabinet immediately moved on to the next agenda, discussing where to start increasing commercial taxes.

In the imperial garden, Mu Qianxue, dressed in royal attire, was walking casually, full of thoughts.

Her hair was full of green hair floating in the fragrance, and her bright eyes were full of resentment.

Looking at the flowers fluttering in the wind, I sigh from time to time.

Mu Qianxue has been feeling very disappointed these days.

She was chosen by the emperor to sleep with her that day. Although nothing really happened, Mu Qianxue was made a beauty the next day.

Fortunately, I have the opportunity to fly onto a branch and become a phoenix.

Just when Mu Qianxue was dreaming about when she would get the emperor's favor.

The young emperor seemed to have forgotten her. He had not seen her for more than ten days.

Originally, Mu Qianxue was not so decadent about this.

Until the day before yesterday, a female official named Meng Meiyu was favored by the emperor and was named a talented person.

Comparing the two, the feeling of disappointment in Mu Qianxue's heart was aroused!

Although Meng Meiyu's talent is not as good as her own beauty.

But the key point is that Meng Meiyu was truly favored by the emperor.

In this harem, their dignity does not depend on their rank. Obtaining the emperor's favor is the most important thing.

Moreover, Mu Qianxue asked herself, in terms of appearance and figure, how could she be better than Meng Meiyu.

But why. The emperor would rather favor Meng Meiyu than come to see him.
Whenever Mu Qianxue thought of this, a pair of eyes like the bright moon would make ripples of water.

Those mist-filled eyes only gave rise to a feeling of heartbreak.

The fact that Mu Qianxue is so attached to Zhu Yijun is not actually because she cares about her position in the harem, but because Mu Qianxue sincerely falls in love with Zhu Yijun, the young emperor.

Mu Qianxue has been stunningly beautiful since she was a child. Her family is wealthy, and her parents' education is extremely strict. She has grown up in a boudoir since she was a child.

After entering the palace and becoming a showgirl, she was so close to a man for the first time.

Although Zhu Yijun did not really favor Mu Qianxue, Zhu Yijun had too many auras.

His heroic figure has long been engraved in Mu Qianxue's heart.

Lingering
Mu Qianxue walked forward with empty eyes. She was feeling depressed and wanted to go to the imperial garden to relax.

Seeing that the flowers around her were all in pairs, Zhu Yijun was indifferent to her, and her mood became more and more miserable.

"Shuashuashua~~~~~~"

Mu Qianxue, who was in a daze, walked to an open area when he suddenly heard the sound of swords in front of him.

Looking up, I saw a graceful woman dancing a sword in the air.

The graceful and graceful swordsmanship like a swimming dragon, combined with the girl's delicate appearance, exudes a different kind of charm.

Seeing such beautiful swordsmanship, Mu Qianxue couldn't help but connect it with the dance she had practiced since childhood.

I just feel that although the woman in front of me is practicing swordsmanship, her appreciation is no less than her own martial arts.

Out of curiosity, I couldn't help but stop and watch.
