[Today's guess is, may I ask: What is the amount of silver in Shandong and Henan with tax included:] [Reply to the riddle to my WeChat public account: A few words of Weiyan, you can get the red envelope prepared by Weiyan.

"After all, there are some risks...... There are some risks. At present, I can't help but toss with internal and external troubles. "Since Zhu Youzhen came into power, he really feels that the situation is getting worse a little bit, and I don't know when he will be able to pull it up. In the original history, Zhu Youzhen was forced to go to extremes and despair a little bit, and finally walked up the coal mountain in a hurry under Li Zicheng's attack. Now that Zhu Cihong has cleaned up the situation, he no longer has the courage to break the jar and give up everything.

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he didn't see a little timidity, but smiled even more, and said, "Father." I might as well take this risk. ”

"Huh?" Zhu Youzhen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood.

At present, Da Ming has quietly had two power centers. An emperor and a prince actually have their own basic plates. Before Zhu Cihong left the palace, no matter how drunk he was, the risk would always be borne by Zhu Youzhen. But now that Zhu Cihong has left the palace to establish his own basic plate and become the center of power, what is the risk, Zhu Youzhen has quietly lost the decision-making power.

Obviously, the risk that Zhu Cihong said is that he has to bear this by himself.

"Brother Hong'er, let's talk about it." After Empress Zhou left, the atmosphere between the two had eased a lot, and Zhu Youzhen had calmed down a lot, and gradually accepted the fact that Zhu Cihong had become a one-party pattern.

"The fiscal law is nothing more than opening up sources and reducing expenditures. Open source. Just like the child said, prosperous industry and commerce, An Bainong. If the people have surplus wealth, the wealth will become prosperous. Throttling. Is...... Changed to sea freight. Although it is economical compared to land transportation. But compared to sea freight, the cost is too much worse. And on top of Cao Yun, there are many disadvantages......" Zhu Cihong said eloquently.

"Brother Hong'er......" Zhu Youzhen suddenly interrupted: "You have a crush on Henan and Shandong, right?" ”

"The child is dedicated to the country, and he just wants to do something practical for His Majesty, and there is nothing else to think about." Zhu Cihong said softly.

"I believe it." Zhu Youzhen didn't know what emotions he was, but Zhu Cihong actually hit one of Zhu Youzhen's most concerned places. That's the fiscal problem.

The first sign of the collapse of an empire is certainly a financial problem. Compared with the Song Dynasty, the richest dynasty in history, it is said that compared with the Yuan Dynasty, the finances of the Ming Dynasty were very simple and unprofessional. It can even be said that there are gaps in the top-level design.

But Zhu Youzhen didn't want to move, the problem was still the same as before, he was afraid of chaos, and he was even more afraid that if Zhu Cihong moved, the gentry would no longer support the Zhu dynasty. But again, the harsh realities and lack of financial resources made it impossible for him to maintain his old army and build a stronger army.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen said in a deep voice: "Daming has something in the system, so it's better not to move." It's okay to add bricks. But don't shake the base. Don't move the original financial policy. If you want to open a nursing workshop and start a trade, I will allow it. But the matter of the Grand Canal does not need to be moved again. Such as the gentry field tax. Don't even be on the premise. In addition, I ask you, if these two places are entrusted to you by the authority of supervision, can you guarantee the question of taxes? ”

"Counting the salaries and other affairs?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"It's nature." Zhu Youzhen is anxious about this.

"Henan is suffering from Li Zicheng. The destruction was complete, and the people had just begun to cultivate. I'm afraid that the matter of Tian Fu will not be sustainable. Shandong was also destroyed by Jiannu, and the people had no rest. Wakada Fu can be exempted from ...... Erchen thought he could still give it a try. Zhu Cihong said in his heart. At the peak of the Ming Dynasty, the national talent was only thirty or forty million stones. Zhu Cihong's gains can withstand a small half of the national tax, and you are worried that you can't play a tax package?

As long as he survives the first year, Zhu Cihong will even be able to make a lot of money by then.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Cihong said this, Zhu Youzhen was immediately overjoyed: "I can exempt Henan from five years of field payment and Shandong from three years of field payment." In that case, can you give me a guarantee? ”

"Erchen counts, Henan and Shandong, excluding Tian Fu, last year, a total of 1,673,899 taels. Sons can issue military orders! Since the beginning of this year, there is no problem with the transfer of this figure. Zhu Cihong was suddenly happy in his heart, it seems that the real power of these two places can be arranged by Zhu Cihong himself from now on. As for that little money, in Zhu Cihong's opinion, there is no problem.

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

At this moment, he stood up, picked up a piece of music around the table, and read it back and forth, Fang Xia, and then picked up another piece of music and continued to read it back and forth.

If half an hour has passed, Zhu Youzhen doesn't know how many circles he has circled around the table, so he said: "Brother Hong'er, do you think that in today's current situation, is it necessary to settle the inside first, or to secure the inside first?" ”

Hearing Zhu Youzhen's question, Zhu Cihong was suddenly awe-struck.

At the beginning, Zhu Cihong was using internal training to deal with strong enemies.

After all, in the end, it was the Jianzhou Jurchens who really got the big tomorrow, not Li Zicheng, the one-eyed dragon.

Of course, Zhu Cihong knew very well the thoughts of the Ming monarchs. In their opinion, the external invasion is just a group of robbers, who run away when they are done robbing. But looking at the history books, the only one who has taken away his own world is the inner coward.

According to the history that Zhu Cihong is familiar with, the Ming Dynasty was indeed broken through the Beijing division by Li Zicheng and forced Emperor Chongzhen to hang himself.

Such a mortal enemy was there, so much so that the establishment of the Southern Ming Dynasty did not forget to avenge Zhu Youzhen, and stubbornly regarded a regime with the weakest military strength among the three families against the powerful two as enemies.

In the eyes of later generations, it was unwise for Nanming to do this, but it was a last resort for Zhu Cihong to do it. If the revenge of killing his father is not avenged, how do the people of the world view the legitimacy of his position? Zhu Cihong will also firmly raise the banner of exterminating Dashun, and at most militarily unite the later Dashun army to resist the Qing army.

In this way, whether the next strategy is "to secure the outside must first secure the interior" or "to secure the interior before the inside" is obviously the choice of the national policy.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Cihong suddenly sounded a name: "Zuo Liangyu." ”

Not only that, but there is also the poor military discipline under the command of this flat thief general.

Daming had internal troubles, although the thieves were murderous, but compared with the thieves, the hatred of the officials and soldiers was not at all, and even forced the local people to serve the thieves instead.

Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong said firmly: "If you look at it according to your sons, the Qing army has always been the number one enemy. As for Neikou, Erchen is confident that he can easily calm down. Instead...... Inside my Daming, there are too many places that need to be cleaned up. Now, there are so many examples of officials coercing the people to rebel, so much so that the people's hearts are lost. Iron also needs its own hardness, without this premise, no matter whether it is outside or inside, there is no way to mention! ”

Zhu Youzhen listened, stunned, speechless, for a long time, as if struggling again, he finally made up his mind. (To be continued.) )
