How about using this to test cadres?

Birds of a feather flock together

Zhang Haogu looked down upon this group of people. His New Deal had to deal with more than just the Donglin Party. These dog officials were all within his attack range.

At present, those who can barely be considered part of Zhang Haogu's party include Xu Guangqi, Zhang Ruitu, Wang Zhijian, Lu Xiangsheng, and Sun Chuanting, and Cui Chengxiu can barely be considered half of them.

Among them, Zhang Haogu and Xu Guangqi are considered the second grade, and Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting are the third grade.

There are only a small number of people. Compared with the huge Donglin Party, they are as pure as a white lotus.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Haogu has been an official for only a little more than half a year.

Where did he find the time to form a clique?

Not urgent!

As long as Zhu Youxiao is healthy, time will ultimately be on his side.

Tobe

At the end of the year, all the department clerks, clerks, and officials at all levels in the Ministry of Revenue are calculating the tax revenue of the Ministry of Revenue this year.

In the first year of Tianqi, the amount of tax money was three million taels. On the one hand, Houjin captured Shenyang and Liaoyang, and disasters continued in various places. Every corner of the state capital had to ask for money. This was also a loss because Wanli had saved a lot.

With the family's financial resources, we can barely maintain the situation.

In the second year of Tianqi, the amount of money spent was even greater. First, Sun Chengzong invited himself to be the governor, and also asked Ji, Liao and other original generals to supervise various places. He did not need to be restricted by others when he acted according to the situation.

A lot of money. Secondly, there was the Xu Hongru uprising in Shandong, and a lot of money was spent to suppress the rebellion. Thirdly, although there were not as many disasters this year as last year, various places began to ask for money.

These two are the big ones. The biggest one is Sun Chengzong's place. It costs money to build the city and defend the Jurchens.

Fortunately, the biggest problem was that Zhu Youxiao wanted to renovate the three main halls but was blocked by Zhang Haogu.

Nowadays, part of the finance of the Ming Dynasty is the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the other part is the internal funds.

However, the problem now is that the Dog Emperor does not have much money left. Wanli lost most of the wealth he finally saved in the Battle of Saarhu, and spent a large part of it after the three main halls were burned down.

However, Zhang Haogu feels that this year's fiscal revenue should be much better than last year.

There are four main sources. The first is that a large sum of money was copied from the homes of many corrupt officials, which gave the Ministry of Household Affairs a lot of savings.

Second, there is a commission from the business of the three-legged golden toad in Yongding County. This three-legged golden toad sold well. In just two or three months, it sold more than 300,000 taels. However,

, not all of this money belongs to the Ministry of Household Affairs, part of it must be retained as the development fund of Yongding County.

The third step is to return the money to the public. This is the big deal. Zhang Haogu has set a goal. This year, all regions must pay so much money. Regardless of whether each place is in a hurry, collect the money first.

Fourth, this year is no better than last year, there are not so many natural and man-made disasters, there is not that much expenditure, and tax revenue is higher than last year.

"Zhang Budang, the calculation has been done!"

Lu Xiangsheng on the side quickly handed Zhang Haogu a memorial.

Zhang Haogu scanned ten lines with one glance, and said with some surprise: "Fourteen million taels?"

Nearly five times higher than last year?
