Half an hour later, Yang Tinglin rushed to the deployment of the soldiers.

When he saw Zhu Linmiao welcome him to the door, he hurriedly picked up his clothes and knelt down, "Your Majesty will meet His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King." ”

Zhu Linmiao hurriedly helped him up, "Yang Gebu has worked hard all the way. ”

"Where, where." Yang Tinglin glanced around and saw that there was no one else except Shi Lin, so he turned his head and said, "Your Highness, Xia Guan just went to meet the Holy Lord and the Empress Dowager." He lowered his voice, "The Holy Dragon is not in good health, and the Queen Mother's spirit is not very good. ”

Zhu Linmiao nodded.

Yang Tinglin arched his hand again: "Fortunately, His Royal Highness has the strength to support the overall situation, and the Ming side will not be overturned." But I don't know when the emperor will wake up, and this country and society will all be on the shoulders of His Royal Highness. ”

The meaning of these words was already very clear, but Zhu Linmiao just smiled and said nothing. A few days ago, Huang Daozhou had told him about Yang Tinglin's secret letter to urge King Chen to govern, and he knew what Yang Tinglin thought.

But after he came to this time and space, his greatest wish was to rewrite the history of the tragedy of the Ming Dynasty and leave a more glorious China to future generations. Until this goal is achieved, he will not make any further plans.

History proves that the weakening of the Ming Dynasty began with Xiao Wall, and he will never let history reappear for his own desires.

When the two of them walked to the front of the hall, Yang Tinglin saw that the auxiliary king had never spoken out, so he had to start talking about official business, "According to His Royal Highness's orders, the lower official has ordered Zhao Yin's department to return to Yunnan." ”

What he didn't say was that when Zhao Yinxuan's 4,000 Dian troops came to Jiangxi, there were only 400 sets of armor and less than 200 birds. When he returned to Yunnan after leaving Jiangxi, he was not only equipped with 2,000 pairs of cotton armor and more than 1,000 firearms, but also brought several cannons.

Yang Tinglin continued: "I also left the Guangxi soldiers of the Chenzhao Department and Guo Wei through Guo Shilang Town, Guangxin and Raozhou, although their strength is slightly inferior to the Huizhou army, but the righteous army in Chizhou is huge, Zhang Tianlu has to deal with the righteous army on the west side, and he should not be able to raise troops to attack south.

"His Royal Highness King Yongning has returned to Nancheng, and his men and horses are led by Deputy General Shao Jian to Jiujiang to help Wang Yuanji assist in the defense.

"Nanchang City is now in addition to the temporary repair of the city wall, the rest have basically recovered as before. The whole territory of Jiangxi can be described as Dading. ”

Zhu Linmiao also nodded with satisfaction, when he first arrived in Jiangxi, half of the wall fell, the Qing army was raging, and after nearly a year of work, he finally returned to the Ming Dynasty completely.

"The Yang Pavilion Department and Jiangxi have worked hard, and I will definitely go to the court to reward them."

Yang Tinglin hurriedly shook his head and said, "Your Highness is too famous. How could Xia Guan not have this self-knowledge, if he hadn't been killed by Yang Sichang at the beginning, I am afraid that I would not have anything to do with the battlefield in my life.

"This time, His Highness entrusted my household department, but I can still play a little bit of it."

When it came to the household department, Yang Tinglin's words immediately increased, "By the way, when the lower officials were still in Jiangxi, I heard that His Royal Highness wanted to triple the official salary. foolishly thought that if this was the case, the pressure on the household department would be too great. It is the previous money, and this tax is no longer enough to meet the ......"

Zhu Linmian said in her heart that this old man Yang had not yet taken office, so he was going to start planning for the household department. He smiled: "I'm afraid that Yang Gebu hasn't seen the account book of the household department yet, right?" ”

"Xia Guan has heard about it, and it seems that it is a deficit every month."

"Then I'm going to tell you that there are nearly one million taels of silver and more than two million taels of assets in the account of the household department?"

Yang Tinglin almost jumped up when he heard this, "What His Highness said is true?!" ”

"Wait for the Yang Pavilion Department to take over the household department, and you will know when you open the warehouse."

Yang Tinglin was overjoyed, since the Chongzhen Dynasty, when did there be more than one million taels of reserves in the treasury?

He was also quick-witted, and immediately thought that these should be the property of officials who had confiscated the enemy, and frowned and said: "Your Highness, such a high salary, even if it is a million silver, I am afraid that it will not last long." And at this time, the imperial court only bears Jiangxi and Fujian, and if the north and south of the river are recovered in the future, this expenditure will be even greater.

"As far as the lower officials know, the current tax of the common people is the highest since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no room for more......

Yang Tinglin habitually thought that only by raising taxes could he increase the revenue of the treasury, but he didn't want Zhu Linmiao to immediately wave his hand and said: "Of course you can't add more, how much floating wealth can the people at the bottom have?" Even if they are drained, they will never be able to support the needs of the court.

"Not only will I not raise taxes, but I will also greatly reduce the taxes of peasant households, and cancel all kinds of donations and distributions, oh, I call this a single tax."

Yang Tinglin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "On behalf of the people of the world, the lower officials thank His Highness for his compassion for the people's suffering!" It's just that...... Nowadays, the income of the imperial court is difficult to support, and His Royal Highness has raised the officials to three times, how can this treasury be open and reduce expenditure......"

Zhu Linmiao simply threw the volume of "Daming Development Outline" on his desk to Yang Tinglin, and said with a smile: "Yang Butang can't always stare at the harvest of the crops. Open source cannot be turned into a way to increase the burden on rural households. Merchants, shipping, minerals, and handicrafts are all big income-generators, and they are the backbone of the national treasury. ”

Yang Tinglin nodded as if he had realized something, and opened the booklet in his hand to take a closer look. Seeing that there are many development plans listed above, the content is extremely complicated, and he was dazzled, and he hurriedly turned to the front to look at the general outline.

The first is agriculture. Yang Tinglin nodded secretly, there is food in the world.

I saw that the agricultural items in the outline were mainly followed by three sub-items: "popularizing the cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes," "speeding up scientific research and large-scale production of chemical fertilizers," and "pioneering and building water conservancy."

Among them, he only understood the last one, but he was a little dissatisfied with the first two items in his heart, and then he thought that a lot of money was still needed to repair water conservancy, and his brows couldn't help but frown even tighter.

He pressed down on his doubts for a moment and looked down again.

2. Maritime transport and foreign trade.

1. Build a national commercial fleet and a Daming naval division.

2. Build new maritime ports such as Shanghai, Zhoushan, Hong Kong and Xiamen.

3. Improve the customs and tariff system and intensify efforts to crack down on smuggling.

4. Escort of commercial fleets and anti-piracy strategies.

5. Colonial occupation and construction, overseas colonization strategy.

Yang Tinglin was stunned again, although since the Hongguang Dynasty, the intensity of the sea ban has been weakened, but such a big move to promote shipping is unprecedented, where can there be the word "sea ban" in the future?

He knew that overseas trade was lucrative, but he still felt that it was a sideshow. Boats are extremely dangerous to go to sea, and sailors often go out of ten to five.

Besides, trade is often constrained by other countries, and how can it be a long-term solution to trade with you today and close your port tomorrow?

As for what colonies, he didn't know what to say, and he wanted to come or expand his territory overseas. But is it really feasible to have a lot of poverty overseas and the road is far from controllable?

Only the fight against pirates is the most recognized by him, however, according to Daming's anti-Japanese experience, this is even more of a gold-swallowing monster. Jiangbei Jianyu is eyeing the tiger, how can the imperial court have the spare strength to take care of pirates?
