Chapter 631: Zhu Di is bankrupt again

No matter what, if you repeat it too much, you will get tired.

Zhu Zhanji heard the footsteps, he didn't raise his head, and said lazily: "If we encounter any difficulties, don't ...... Come on! He looked up to see who was coming.

"Grandpa!"

Zhu Zhanji suddenly came to his senses, quickly jumped up, and said loudly: "What ...... did we encounter?"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Di reached out and grabbed him by the collar, took the little guy into his arms, and then clamped it under his armpit, as if carrying a leather bag, Zhu Di strode into the study. He didn't speak, but picked up the candle on the table and found the fire fold again.

"Liu Chun, a cup of tea, if you don't come, I will burn your home!"

After speaking, Zhu Di sat down and put Zhu Zhanji aside casually.

After a while, Liu Chun was out of breath and walked in quickly.

"The minister has seen Your Majesty."

Zhu Di snorted coldly: "Isn't it too much for you to let my grandson block the visitors for you?" ”

Liu Chun smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, it's no wonder that the ministers are doing this, but the ministers don't know what to do!" ”

Zhu Di leaned at Liu Chun and said disdainfully: "You really don't know? ”

"I don't know, I definitely don't know!" Liu Chun waved his hand, very seriously.

Zhu Di took a deep breath, "If you don't want to say it, then I'll say it!" If you want to stop private schools, you need to run them officially, and the government needs to spend more money...... This is not a small amount of money, and I can't afford to come up with that much money right now. ”

Liu Chun bowed his head and didn't speak, no need to ask, even if I couldn't take out so much money. Liu Chun is not crying poor, his property is not small, but the old Zhu family is even darker, and a lot of things have been taken away. And many things that are clearly making money, Liu Chun can't mix them, so he can only rely on Xu Miaojin to strategize, although the Liu family will not lack food and drink, but if they want to take out too much, it is impossible.

There was an eerie silence in the study, and only the sound of breathing could be heard.

Zhu Zhanji looked at the emperor's grandfather and his master, his little head was like a rattle, but these two people didn't speak, and he couldn't see any clues, what should I do? Is it that hard?

"The money...... I'm out! ”

Zhu Di suddenly said softly, Liu Chun seemed to can't believe his ears, he subconsciously widened his eyes and looked at Zhu Di hesitantly.

Zhu Laosi felt strong contempt, and he was angry.

"Who do you think I am? I am the father of all peoples, the supreme of the Ninety-Five, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty! Zhu Di took a deep breath, then looked up at the front, and said slowly: "It should be the money I came out of, and I will never be ambiguous." Since I want to destroy the gentry clique, I have to carry their responsibilities on my own shoulders! ”

Zhu Di stared at Liu Chun tightly, "I just want to ask you, what should I do to get enough money?" ”

Liu Chun was really scared, he knew Zhu Di very well, and there was no need to doubt Zhu Di's talent and vision, but everyone has their own preferences, Zhu Di likes to expand the territory very much, he has been thinking about it, and when the national strength recovers and the treasury has a balance, he will use troops outside.

Now there is a sudden rise in the matter of learning, so much money is invested in it every year, this is a bottomless pit!

When a child enters school at the age of five, even if he or she participates in labor at the age of fifteen, it is ten years in between.

In the past ten years, the imperial court has only taken money from outside, but has not received anything in return.

No one can stand it.

Daming's treasury income is still very low, and from any point of view, it is very reluctant to build a large number of schools.

Liu Chun kept silent, just because he felt that this matter was not easy to do, but he didn't expect that Zhu Di could agree, which was really surprising.

Zhu Di chuckled slightly, he stretched out his hand and hugged Zhu Zhanji in his arms, "You see, this child grows up fast, and he has grown so big in just a few years." I am a person who is my father and ancestor, and the matter of revitalizing learning, to put it mildly, is to completely end the influence of the scholar group. To put it mildly, it is also to let my people have a way forward. I can't delay the children for the sake of my own merits, and I can't delay the children for the sake of those few lines in the history books. I can wait, but the children can't! ”

When Liu Chun heard this, he couldn't help but stand up, dusted off his clothes, and saluted Zhu Di from the bottom of his heart.

"Your Majesty is open-minded, and the ministers are on the ground. Since His Majesty said it, the minister must find a way to solve the problem of funds. In any case, make sure you have enough money! ”

Zhu Di nodded, "In that case, then I will also make a statement, even if you want to sell the palace inside, I will not frown!" ”

Obviously, Zhu Di was joking, but the emperor's determination still made Liu Chun happy.

"With His Majesty's support, the minister is even more sure."

In a blink of an eye, five days passed, coinciding with the Great Pilgrimage.

The ministers gathered, above the fifth grade, and the officials in Beijing all came, and even many military ministers were no exception.

There have long been rumors that this time the case of Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, will be dealt with thoroughly, and everyone wants to see what the outcome of this case is.

It's just surprising that as soon as Zhu Di opened his mouth, he announced a major event, a major event involving all officials.

"I have thought about it and decided that one thing is to set up an account for every official in the Royal Bank. In the past, the imperial court issued rice and banknotes, but this time, all the money was distributed to the account of each minister in the form of savings. ”

All the courtiers raised their hearts to their throats.

It's broken, there is not much money in the first place, and His Majesty is going to rectify the person again.

"I have decided to denominate it in rice. For example, from a large person, 74 stone of grain per month was deposited in the Royal Bank. You can ask for food, and you can ask for money. However, no matter what the price of grain is, the banknotes exchanged for it must be enough to buy 74 stone of grain, this is my promise to you, and it is absolutely valid! ”

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers were stupid, and they had to sort it out in order to figure out what His Majesty was talking about...... The officials' salaries were not high, and they were often folded into money.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there was even a situation where pepper was used to offset it.

Although spices are expensive, as court officials, how many can sell pepper for a price? And I didn't do this, I worked hard for many months, and I had to pay my wages to live, but I came home with a bag of peppers, can I eat it, or can I drink it?

Zhu Di's reform this time is very clear, although I have not increased the value of Yulu, but I promise that I will not let Yulu depreciate again.

Receive as much as you should.

And there's a perk in it.

For example, if someone wants to use money, they need to exchange rice for silver or banknotes, and in the process, there will definitely be losses.

However, according to Zhu Di's new policy, this incident can be avoided.

In addition, civil servants can avoid the fluctuations caused by the rise and fall of food prices, and on the whole, it is much better than before.

It's just that this person has suffered too much thunder, and suddenly encountered rain and dew, and he is still a little uncomfortable, and they are all asking themselves, is this true?

Did Emperor Zhu really find out his conscience?

After being silent for a while, the official Shangshu Ruyu led the hundred officials and knelt down together.

"Ministers thank God, long live my emperor, long live!"

Zhu Di was excited when he saw the officials, and some people even had tears in their eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh, could it be that he was really mean to the officials?

"Alas, get up!"

Zhu Di said: "I'm not hard-hearted, and I don't know the difficulties of your big guys, but the court is so big and there are so many things to do, I often take care of one thing and lose the other, and there is no way!" Speaking of which, we have to reluctantly make it difficult for our monarchs and ministers. ”

After Zhu Di sighed, he got up and walked down from Danqi, walked in front of several old ministers, and greeted the big guys with a smile one by one. The hearts of the people were warm.

In the end, Zhu Di walked up to Liu Chun, "What are you going to do?" ”

Liu Chun hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, after several days of hard thinking, the minister has drawn up a charter, Your Majesty wants to study in a big way, and the first money will come out of the cane sugar!" The minister plans to allocate 70% of the proceeds of the Royal Sugar Company each year to support the development of education. ”

Liu Chun said to the ministers, especially the officials of the household department: "Because of the huge amount of money, the price of sugar is bound to remain high. But those who can afford to eat cane sugar are still rich people. Therefore, this tax has the meaning of robbing the rich and helping the poor, what does the household department think? ”

Yu Xin hurriedly stood up, "Lord Liu, the price of sugar is high in the first place, and it is because of the development of Dongfan Island that the price of sugar is likely to fall. Now I think it is very appropriate to use the income from cane sugar to build a school. I just don't know, how much money can I make up? ”

Liu Chun said with a smile: "The internal sales of cane sugar can squeeze out about 5 million taels, and the external part should also be more than three million taels." It may be increased in the future, but for the time being, it will be calculated at eight million taels. ”

"The next amount of money, the Royal Stock Exchange, is to levy stamp duty on every transaction, and all the proceeds are used for education. Together, these two sums of money should be more than fifteen million. In addition, the Royal Bank issues an additional 10 million education bonds every year, which makes 25 million. Next, it's up to the household! ”

Yu Xin did not hesitate, clenched his fists and said: "Lord Liu, in terms of households, you can squeeze out 10 million a year, and the remaining 15 million, I'm afraid that the local government will have to bear it." ”

At this time, Ru Yu also spoke, "The money of the household department can't be divided equally...... In poor places, there should be more households, such as Beiping, Jiangnan and other places, and the localities should be allowed to pay more, so that even if there are not 50 million taels, it is almost the same. ”

These ministers, with one word from you and one word from me, a seemingly impossible thing has actually been realized!

There is no doubt that Zhu Di is the one who pays the most money in this, and it is all real money to dig out!

Now, the ministers have nothing to say, an accident, an accident!

It turns out that the Son of Heaven is not picking the door, but good steel should be used on the blade.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is benevolent, and the scholars of the world will be grateful to Dade and serve the Son of Heaven! ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The ministers shouted in a mountain, and the five bodies fell to the ground. Only Zhu Di's heart is bleeding, not only is his internal money empty, but he also has to bear an extra 10 million arrears every year, and I am bankrupt again......
