Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh nobles go bankrupt
"These fields are all given by the late emperors of all generations! You can't just take them away, wuwu!"
"You bandits!"
"You are treacherous ministers!"
Marquis of Zhenyuan, Gu Mingjiao, was so angry that he cursed when his home business was investigated, pounding his feet and stamping his chest, and tears flowed from his tears.
Li Zhizao was not angry when he saw this and said, "Marty Zhenyuan, please relax. Your Majesty has issued an order. You will not blame you for disrespecting the late emperor and losing his family property. Your Majesty also asked the daily life note to write it. The content is roughly that the nobles lost their family property after they lost their family property, and even used the land given to the previous emperors in history as collateral. When the emperor heard about it, he was furious, but he could not bear to investigate his crime and just ordered him to repay his debts."
"I also have to write my life story about my spendthrift in my daily life notes, this, this..."
Gu Mingjiao cried even more tragic.
"The fertile land in the area of Mochou Lake belongs to our Xu family, and there are hundreds of shops outside Zhengyangmen and Qinhuai River. Now they are all used to mortgage debts. Please ask the court to take it away. It is because Xu's poor family management, and now there are consequences."
Xu Hongji cooperated quite well and took the initiative to give the mortgaged fertile land and store industries to the court.
But after Li Zhizao, Lu Xiangsheng and others left, Xu Wenjue, the son of Xu Hongji, could not help but say with pain: "Father, they bought high prices and the grains stored in the mansion were collected by them at an extremely low price, which was equivalent to giving them freely. Now they have to give them all the fertile land in Mochou Lake, and so many shops and industries, which have also been given to the court. What else can we eat in the future? Do we have to turn into slaves?"
"Shut up! What else can I do if I don't hand over all the family business? They brought their soldiers to the mansion to collect it!"
Xu Hongji roared at Xu Wenjue and said.
Xu Wenjue had no choice but to shut up and stop saying anything.
...
"Report to Your Majesty, except for Henghe Grain's industries in Henan, Huguang, Shandong and other places that have not been investigated, all large borrowers in Yingtianfu have been investigated, and they have been forced to repay the corresponding loans according to the order. In addition, the bottom-fishing of grain has been completed. The bottom-fishing of grain has been purchased at a price of between 300 and 500 and 500 people per stone. The Duzhi Department advises that the next step will not lower the grain price and return it to the price of 3 to 500 silver coins per stone, and then stabilize it at this price. Please give your Majesty the edict."
Han Du, who coordinated the entire money and grain management, reported to Zhu Youxiao at this time.
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Accurate!"
Then, Zhu Youxiao ordered Wei Zhongxian: "Dou Ding, a businessman offered by Duke Wei, Xu Hongji and others, will be tried out as soon as possible, and he will pry his mouth open at all costs. He, an ordinary businessman, cannot just let Xu Hongji and others follow his advice, nor can he mobilize so much money and food."
Wei Zhongxian immediately replied: "I obey the order!"
"Food borrowed from North Korea will keep the price of grain at 3 to 500 cents silver coins per stone. When the price of grain is relatively low and the silver coins are worth a lot, resume work and production as soon as possible. During the debt inspection process, the obtained shops will be auctioned as soon as possible. If the auction cannot be auctioned, the original operator will be rented at a low price. After a certain period of time, it can be used as its property."
"The funds obtained from the auction and the income from bank loans will be mainly used for recruitment and infrastructure. Needless to say, the Ministry of War will take charge of the recruitment, strictly screen the source of soldiers, and establish a military service and retirement system. In addition, Xiong Aiqing should quickly formulate a new regulations on military merits. After the Ming Dynasty, whether it is a title before his death or a posthumous title after his death, whether it is a civil and military force, it should be the first priority for military merits!
"For infrastructure construction, first, rectify the post station, add the post station, add the post station, add the post station and the paving for the message, add official roads and bridges, and the governors of each province will set up a special post office to be responsible for it. In the future, the central government of the court will consider adding the post office;
Second, local governments will build additional schools, clinics, and stewardships to enable more people to study, more people to seek medical treatment, and more widows, widows, orphans to be raised."
"In addition, the grain repurchased by the imperial court has been transferred back to the capital and the warehouses will be closed in various places for combat preparations and disaster preparations!"
"The farmland collected from nobles and noble families is still set up as state-owned farms, and rent is reduced immediately and a stable land contracting system is established."
Then, Zhu Youxiao issued an instruction on the subsequent ruling tasks.
"I will obey the order!"
Han Yu, Xiong Tingbi and others both replied.
All the ministers looked happy because they had to admit that although His Majesty, his emperor, was cruel and ruthless, was harsh and merciless towards salt merchants, rebel gentry, vassal kings, foreign countries, and nobles, and they were extremely plundering, but the money and food they plundered were not for personal enjoyment, but for enriching the people, strengthening national strength, and enhancing the power of the court.
More idealistic, Xiong Tingbi, who hopes to make drastic reforms, likes such a emperor very much, and also thinks that such an emperor is considered a hero.
Because he had been in the central government for a long time, he began to understand more clearly why the emperor unconditionally trusted himself to manage Liaodong when he ascended the throne. He believed that it was because the emperor he was loyal to now was really a hero from heaven and had extraordinary talents.
Of course, in fact, Zhu Youxiao trusts Xiong Tingbi not because of his own talent and prescient, but because of the answer given to him by historical experience.
But Zhu Youxiao’s current series of performances did make Xiong Tingbi admire Zhu Youxia more.
He is more realistic and emphasizes the harmony of yin and yang. He should govern a big country like cooking fresh food. Han Yu didn't like a strong emperor like Zhu Youxiao, and he was also very uncomfortable.
But he had to admit that today, Zi was very determined. He dared to suppress the vassal kings with cruel means and implement new policies. He also knew to hide rich people. He knew to inspire people's wisdom by strengthening academic research, to benefit the people, so that the people can feel at ease, and to strengthen the ability to rule by strengthening infrastructure.
Han Yu was very willing to see the emperor use a large amount of the imperial income to help the people resume work and production, and to build schools and clinics, which is in line with his political philosophy of wanting to be rich in the people.
But he had to admit that the reason why His Majesty the Emperor had enough money and grain to save money and educate the people was largely because the court borrowed tens of millions of stones of grain from foreign countries.
Because the grain obtained by relying solely on clearing the land of the country can only stabilize the grain price in this grain price battle, and it is difficult to lower the grain price to the point where the nobles and nobles lose all their money, and it is also difficult to maintain the grain price to be cheaper than in the middle of the Wanli period. Naturally, it is impossible to say that it can expand its troops and still keep rich in the people.
Han Yu's inner thought was that the Ming Dynasty would still have a bit of a decent state of the Celestial Kingdom and had a good relationship with neighbors. The borrowed grain would be better if it was better to pay back the grain. At worst, the national treasury would have less deposits. As long as the borrowed grain was returned, good neighborly and friendly, the military pressure would be gone. Naturally, there would be no need to expand troops and worship the martial arts. At that time, only spending the increased income from domestic reforms on hiding the rich people would be enough to be called a prosperous era.
But Han Du knew that the emperor had different ideas from his own, so he did not express his own opinions.
"How much is the estimated total income of Taicang money and grain in the fourth year of Apocalypse? Is it more than the third year of Apocalypse?"
Zhu Youxiao suddenly asked about the treasury income.
After Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, in order to solve the problem of excessive taxes paid by the Ming Dynasty, he had already issued an order to pay all kinds of taxes to Taicang, unlike before, because there was no tax system, a county needed to transport various taxes to many government offices such as the Ministry of Revenue, the inner court, the Taichang Temple, etc. Now it is paid to Taicang and then distributed by Taicang.
In this way, Taicang officially became the treasury, and Taicang's income became the standard for measuring national income.
