In September 26, the 40th year of the Apocalypse, the Ming Dynasty representative Sun Chuanting and others signed the Treaty of Kirov with Nirav, the representative of the Rakshasa Kingdom.

This is a major event that has changed the historical process for Zhu Youxiao in his late 60s.

He was undoubtedly delighted by this.

"The territory of the Ming Dynasty has finally become much larger again!"

Under the newly popular electric lights, Zhu Youxiao looked at the newly replaced map of the Ming Dynasty territory and excitedly spoke to his assistants.

"What's even more gratifying is that this time there will be a compensation of hundreds of millions of silver! The first transaction alone will be 50 million!"

Liu Hongxun smiled and said, then sighed: "It is a happy thing to be Your Majesty's chief minister. He never worrys about making money, but only about spending money."

"The core of being able to have such a prosperous situation today is only one thing, that is, it is based on national interests!"

"All this is not just my contribution. You and the people of the world have made contributions. Otherwise, how could you get such a huge profit from the Rakshasa Kingdom?"

Zhu Youxiao said, "So, next, how to spend this money, we still have to put national interests first!"

"How to distribute the benefits of the world is very important. If it is only used to support those who do not serve the producers, the enthusiasm of producers will inevitably decline, making the economy of the world a deformed economy, and the enthusiasm of the people to increase production momentum will also decrease, and the enthusiasm for innovation and technology will also decrease!"

"Your Majesty is that the court's responsibility is how to better regulate the world's wealth."

Wen Tiren also replied.

"The one who has silk and silk is not a silkworm breeder. This is not what we want to see. If this phenomenon occurs, it is a dereliction of duty by the court!"

Lu Xiangsheng raised it out more sharply and directly.

Zhu Youxiao looked at him and smiled slightly.

He had to admit that these ministers were influenced by themselves and had begun to have the awareness of a modern ruler and began to know the importance of regulating the economy.

Instead of just like the traditional scholars and officials in history, they only know how to focus on moral construction, but ignore the imbalances of the national economy, and even have no choice but to see it. At most, they just sigh with some poems.

A little better is to curb mergers by establishing some policies without tilting the distribution of interests directly towards producers, that is, the majority of the people, from the national level.

But now, after witnessing the development of the Apocalypse over the past forty years, these ministers around Zhu Youxiao have already known the importance of distributing cakes.

Knowing that the court cannot just stop the powerful from dividing the cake to their own home, they also have to take the initiative to dividing the cake to the producer's side with visible hands.

Because the invisible hand of the market always habitually concentrates wealth in the hands of better but few people.

"What the Father said is that the benefits of the world are important, how to distribute them is very important!"

"My son believes that wealth distribution is important in terms of fairness! I personally think that if it is to be fair, the wealth increased by the world will benefit all the people. However, the treatment of military officers and soldiers is too high and the welfare of the people is too high, so that the imperial court's national treasury is very huge. Even if there is a 50 million taels of silver compensation to be paid, it is difficult to maintain the imperial court's expenses for a long time. The imperial court should find a way to reduce military and welfare expenses."

The emperor's second son Zhu Cican started talking at this time.

"The treatment of military officers and soldiers cannot be lowered yet. They rely entirely on military immigration outside the pass. The military officers and soldiers are willing to settle outside the pass, or even in the bitter and cold places further north. This is because the salary given by the court and the favor of the army are high. If it is lowered, who is willing to go to the bitter and cold places outside the border?"

"In addition, strong military strength is the confidence of the court to control the distribution of wealth in the world. Without a knife in hand, there is no way to divide the fish."

"As for the welfare of the people, it is the basic for maintaining national vitality and stability. The court does not provide them with welfare protection. Once they go bankrupt due to natural disasters or man-made disasters and fall into a state of inability to survive, they will become an unstable factor. Those who have no permanent property have no perseverance. The court does not provide support to the Han people in the world. How can Han people in the world have enough energy to realize their ideal values?"

"I'm afraid I'll just be busy with food all my life. So where does the future of our nation exist? What's the difference between high and low than foreigners?"

Lu Xiangsheng started talking at this time.

"But if the world has taken all the benefits from external things, what should we do then?"

Zhu Cican asked keenly.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't say anything after hearing this.

Zhu Cican pursed his lips and showed a proud look in his eyes.

These days, in the Political Affairs Hall, he has seen the power of the central and important officials of the empire and learned a lot about himself.

He knew that it would be difficult for him to show the level of admiration for these auxiliary ministers in governing the country and then support his future level as an emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Especially the hardcore supporter of his royal brother, the chief assistant Liu Hongxun.

So, now that Zhu Cican can ask these assistant ministers, he feels that he is already very good.

"It's too early to think about this now. The only thing we can plan ahead now is to give more people more energy to innovate in technology, which is also the root of protecting the basic welfare of the people."

Wen Tiren replied at this time.

"But this must be taken seriously. If one day the benefits from the outside world are not enough, according to the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, which has high welfare and high military expenditure, the finances will inevitably collapse!"

"As Wen Gong said, this matter ultimately depends on technological innovation. Therefore, scholars and officials who study academics should give greater excuses or restore the previous excuses and exemptions to promote better technological development."

Zhu Cican said.

"It is better to be rewarded for scholars and officials who study academics, as for the sake of excuses and exemptions!"

"Because there is a privilege of being exempted and easy to be privileged, there are people who are just trying to make the difference for the sake of excellence and freedom!"

"Before, the consequences of the gentry's exemption regulations were examples. A large number of fields that should have been paid for tax suddenly disappeared in the booklets of the Ministry of Revenue in the court by means of trickery and sprinkling!"

Liu Hongxun replied.

"It can be rewarded only for outstanding scholars, and for most scholars, it is like flowers in the mirror and moon in the water!"

"As far as today, some scholars are far less prosperous than workers and peasants!"

"Workers and farmers all live in green tiled houses, and some even drive cars produced by Datong Machinery, so that children can go to the best kindergarten!"

"Many scholars are not as good as them. The scholar named Dai Wen of the Hanlin Academy did not save much money after taking a concubine. Now he still has to compile his own works, so he can only drink porridge every meal!"

"In addition, many scholars can only stay in the worst hotels, and even build houses outside the city!"

Zhu Cican said this: "Soldiers, farmers, scholars, and workers are all the people of the Ming Dynasty. Why do they only treat soldiers, craftsmen and even farmers who farm, but do not benefit scholars?"
