"Report to Your Majesty, the cabinet has sent a question book. It is said that this year, Taicang is expected to collect more than 30 million stones of grain and more than 5 million taels of silver!"

Han Du immediately answered.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao laughed: "Yes, the Ming Dynasty's treasury grain tax revenue finally exceeded 30 million stones, and Taicang silver also exceeded the threshold of four million taels."

"Your Majesty has good governance and this prosperous era is achieved!"

Han Du praised it, but said in his heart: "If the borrowed grain is not included, it still has not exceeded 30 million. If it were not for the official textile industry to tie up the stakeholders and impose tariffs, it would be difficult to collect more than 5 million taels of cash."

"The ministers have worked hard and issued an order. At the end of this year, all officials, soldiers, and officials all increased their salary three times on the basis of last year to repay their labor!"

Zhu Youxiao replied with a smile.

"I am grateful to Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Han Du secretly glad that he did not say about borrowing food, and thought to himself: "If I mentioned this, I would definitely lose the opportunity to add three salary incentives!"

Han Yu had to admit that it is beneficial to be an official in front of an emperor like His Majesty. At least the legal income is rising rapidly. There is no need to collect any Bingjing, and Tan Jingyin can raise a few maids with warm feet.

Then, Zhu Youxiao asked again: "What is the matter of clearing the land of Zhangzhang? How was it done?"

"Reply to Your Majesty, according to the Yuanfu's remarks and governors of various provinces, the current situation is that Henan, Shandong, Huguang, Beizhili, Jiangxi have all been completed, Sichuan, Guangdong and Guangxi have been completed, and most of the completion has been completed in the first half of next year. Qingzhang, Shaanxi, Liaodong, Yunnan and Guizhou are expected to be completed by the end of next year."

Han Du continued to reply.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and asked again: "Do you have to follow the execution of the digs and fire consumption?"

"The governors and governors of various provinces who were transferred by Yuanfu said that they had been implemented."

Han Du replied.

Zhu Youxiao didn't say much after hearing this.

The amount of taxes to the acres is to divide the cap tax onto the fields, from levying silver based on the population to levying silver based on the amount of land, which means that those with more land will have to pay more levying silver, which is considered abolishing the cap tax and conducive to population increase.

In order to increase the population and free more poor farmers and handicraftsmen from the heavy labor service and become more free, they mainly became laborers in the official industry, so they implemented this policy in advance and implemented it in the process of clearing the land of zhang zhang, and levied silver according to the land of zhang after the re-clearing of zhang silver.

In addition, the fire consumption is the public to make the additional taxes caused by losses other than the regular tax, which is unified by the central court, so that local officials have no right to independently determine the amount of fire consumption and add taxes, and also allows gentry with more fields to have no chance to evade fire consumption or pay less fire consumption. This policy is also implemented in the process of clearing the fields of 1000, according to the re-clearing of 1000, and the West Factory collects the unified standard of fire consumption silver according to the amount of land.

The above are also the reason why Tianqi's resistance to clearing the fields of Zhangzhang this time is much greater than the resistance encountered by Qingzhanghang in the early years of Wanli.

As a result, a governor was killed by a vassal king, mainly because once the land was offered to the land by Qingzhang, the vassal king needed to pay more taxes.

But what Zhu Youxiao himself did not expect was that in order to complete this domestic reform, he finally had to "borrow grain" abroad to completely defeat the vested interests in the country.

He could naturally use force to seize the food of the nobles and achieve this goal.

But Zhu Youxiao did not do this, and he chose to use force to forcibly "borrow grain" from abroad.

Because Zhu Youxiao didn't want people in the country to think that he, the emperor, would take away other people's legal assets without reason.

Zhu Youxiao would rather make foreign fans think that he, the emperor, was arrogant and domineering, would have no reason to steal the interests of his country.

Before the explosion of productivity, Zhu Youxiao could not be a saint in both the inside and outside, and could make the people richer.

Fortunately, the domestic reforms such as clearing the land and digging the acres and the fire consumption of the acres in this process have been implemented half of the domestic reforms, and it is expected to be completed nationwide next year.

This greatly increased the financial revenue of the empire.

The image of prosperity in the early and mid-Wanli period was once again reproduced.

This is not only reflected in the increase in national income, but also in the increase in the income of ordinary people.

The price of grain fell to a lower price than in the middle of Wanli, which allowed Hang Chunjiang, who was originally an ordinary employee, to have more surplus in his wages than buying grain, and to invest in his children's education.

Du Shouchang, the owner of the garment store, looked at the price of grain "one stone, three halves of silver coins or three hanging coins" written on the water sign in the grain shop.

He was quite visionary. When the price of grain was still two hangs and one stone, he asked someone to help buy 200 stones of grain, which made him earn twenty yuan in silver coins at once. He was considered a few merchants who made money by buying the bottom of the court.

Of course, what Du Shouchang was even happier was that the grain prices did not rise sharply.

This is a fact, and he doesn't want the price of grain to rise sharply, because he knows that if the price of grain is ridiculously high, no one will have any money to buy his carefully made ready-made clothes.

But now it is different. The food price is low. Driven by a large number of official industries, many workers in private industries have increased their wages. Therefore, more and more people have free money. They come to buy their clothes, and they don’t want to go home and spend time to waste their work hours making clothes by themselves.

Coupled with the emergence of new textile technology, domestic cotton and silk prices fell. His garment costs did not increase due to the increase in labor costs, but instead decreased due to the decline in cotton and silk prices.

Du Shouchang's business became better and better.

Therefore, he likes this era very much. He has planned to open a few more shops to rent some of the good shops that were now controlled by the emperor and expand their operations. He feels that if the prices of grain and cotton and other goods fall, more people will come to buy his ready-made clothes.

"This year is getting better and better! Long live my emperor!"

On the 1st day, Du Shouchang and several of his hired workers gathered together. After studying for several years, he knew what the current situation was so good, so he raised his glass and shouted in the direction of Mochou Lake.

"Yes! Although there was a rebellion last year, it was a surprise and was even better than before. I never dared to think about spending money with my boss to sit in this flower boat for a meal."

Hang Chunjiang started talking.

...

"Now this life is really not something that humans live. Only one opera troupe can be raised. In the past, I had 15 opera troupes. I wanted to listen to which class I could listen to. Now I can only listen to one class. Woo woo! My servant and concubine were even half of them, and I could only eat three or four dishes at each meal! I have lost weight!"

Zhu Guobi also found Gu Mingjiao on the day of the dynasty, and Tang Xingzuo and other nobles started to cry.

"Who isn't it? All the novice and nuns I raised have been dismissed, so naturally I didn't want the family temple. If you want to burn incense in the first month, you have to queue up in the temple outside. Now when you go out, you can't even replace a decent horse! Since my eldest father, my Gu family has never lived such a hard life. Is this still a noble family?!"

Marquis of Zhenyuan Gu Mingjiao also complained.

"Stop talking, we are at least better than Mr. Dou. He is still in the prison of Dongchang. However, for this meal tonight, everyone will settle their own accounts! I can't afford it anymore. In addition, girls, you have to call yourself, I won't call you anymore, I'll just look at it. I have to save some silver coins to pay off my gambling debts!"

Tang Xingzuo said that, then buried his head in his arms and started crying: "I'm living such a miserable life!"

...

"I'm so miserable!"

In the East Factory Anti-Corruption Department Prison in Yingtianfu, Dou Ding shouted loudly with blood all over his mouth.

He is really miserable now because the East Factory is torturing him with all kinds of tortures.
