How Zhang Pu left the venue is unknown.

This also means that Zhang Pu's situation is obviously so miserable that no one cares.

The only rumors circulating in Nanjing about wealth are one after another. And the core of this rumor naturally comes from Zhu Cihong, from the sea that hides gold mountains and silver seas.

In addition to the authority of the prince of the prison country, Zhu Cihong's body seems to have been plated with a layer of golden light, as if he can get closer to some gold mountains and silver seas.

However, in fact, it is true, as long as you can get close to Zhu Cihong at this moment, it is almost certain that you will make a fortune in the future.

What could compare to the riches of maritime trade?

Although Zhu Cihong took office as the supervisor of Nanjing, although there was no mention of the policy of lifting the sea ban in his words, everyone is an old fox, practicing for thousands of years, listening to his words and watching his deeds. Zhu Cihong has already engaged in maritime trade on his own, so how can he not open a gap for the current maritime ban policy?

Even, many people have already inquired in every possible way through the Military Aircraft Department to get another news. Zhu Cihong planned to build caravans to Korea, Japan, Ryukyu and other countries in the South China Sea.

Obviously, Zhu Cihong deliberately did not open the sea ban in order to establish an official trade fleet, and if he could get an admission ticket at this time, he would come back in the coming year with a huge profit of at least 50,000 taels of silver a ship.

If you can buy a clipper ship in the Longjiang Shipyard, you can immediately double that number.

In the face of such huge interests, who can take care of food price fluctuations?

No matter how high the price of grain is, in the end it can only exploit the money and grain of some small people. If you can participate in the maritime trade, it is enough to create a top wealthy family.

I saw that the atmosphere on the field was getting more and more enthusiastic. Zhu Cihong quietly withdrew.

He met Chang Zhilang, who he hadn't seen for a long time, in a gazebo not far from the pier.

I saw Chang Zhilang take out a piece of music and quietly handed it to Zhu Cihong: "Your Highness." I have already completed the plan you instructed me to set up the General Administration of Customs last time, so please take a look at it Your Highness. ”

At this moment, Chang Zhilang has experienced the experience of a landlord in Kaifeng Qiming City, and has become much more stable. The temperament is introverted, and he has the bearing of a few court officials.

Seeing this, Zhu Cihong bowed slightly, with more appreciation, while looking at this concerto, he chatted with Chang Zhilang over and over again: "It's okay over there in Qiming City, I heard that Henan's recovery is very fast." Many farmers have returned to their hometowns to resume farming, but the cost of Qiming City is still rising. ”

"This is mainly due to the increasing attractiveness of Qiming City." Chang Zhilang said with a smile: "With perfect household registration management and police construction, the security of Qiming City is much better than that of Kaifeng." This not only makes ordinary people feel very safe in Qiming City. It has attracted many wealthy people from Kaifeng to settle down. In addition, municipal health, transportation, medical care, education and the management style of Qiming City. More and more wealthy people in Kaifeng are willing to live in Qiming City, and at least some people with small families have begun to buy houses near a small area in Qiming City. ”

One is the Qiming No. 1 Primary School in Qiming City.

Under Zhu Cihong's governance system, he absolutely can't stand the backward education system of private schools and county schools. Allowing everyone in the world to go to school is a fantasy for today's Daming, and it is just a good wish. But for Zhu Cihong, this is a real experience and a grand wish that he hopes to fulfill.

It was under such a circumstance that Qiming Primary School was established in Qiming City. Similarly, in Linqing, a large number of night schools and literacy classes have been established. In Linqing, it is because of the rich cultural atmosphere of Shandong. The western part of the country has experienced less war, so that there are now more primary schools than Qiming City, as well as the most popular vocational schools in Shandong.

The so-called vocational school is a craftsman compound and Zhu Cihong pays a budget and invests silver taels in the workshop every year to ask for skills training. This is also the lightest part of Zhu's education system. Because every year, a large number of workshop owners can't wait to send the money to the door to entrust training.

In Zhu Cihong's tax system and vocational schools, the money sent in for commissioned training can eventually be used to deduct taxes, and the apprentices entrusted by vocational schools are obviously similar to those who have to be taught from scratch. Illiterate farmers are better able to create value for their workshops and increase production efficiency.

"The workshop industry, including education, health care, public security, and sound and reasonable taxation. It seems that these are the things that make Qiming City more and more attractive. I know a small thing, but I didn't expect the school district room to appear so early. Zhu Cihong sighed. Changing the topic, he took the piece and said, "After I finish reading this piece, you can tell me what you think first." ”

Seeing this, Chang Zhilang changed: "Your Majesty means to establish the agency of the General Customs Administration first......"

As he spoke, Chang Zhilang took out a map, pressed his finger on Suzhou, Shanghai, Ningbo, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Xiamen, Macao, Dengzhou and other places, and continued: "The major treaty ports of the country will be subject to customs taxes, and those who have not registered for customs duties will be seriously dealt with as smuggling. For this reason, His Majesty hopes that His Highness will support him by force. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded: "In the future, the personnel of the Star will be diverted." On the one hand, the Ming Navy was formed, and on the other hand, the General Administration of Customs and Customs' maritime anti-smuggling team was set up as an armed guarantee for the General Administration of Customs and Customs. Of course, Hengxin Commercial Bank is also promoting the matter of sea caravans, and they will be the first to pay the tariffs. ”

"Your Highness!" Seeing this, Chang Zhilang suddenly cheered up: "His Majesty's plan is to implement the presumption of guilt. Anyone who fails to produce proof of tax payment will be brought to justice! By the way, Your Highness, please see, this is the setting of the tax rate......"

Zhu Cihong glanced at it a few times, his expression was not good, and said: "As a businessman, of course, your eyes should fall more on the word profit. But as a manager of the government, we cannot have a single vision. This time the General Customs Administration was formed, and taxation was, of course, the main thing. It is only natural that the team will be trained in Nanjing, and then it will be quickly opened to the whole country. But the question of tax rates...... But you can't be rash, let alone copy what is on the canal. After all, the sale of goods in the north and south is within a country, but the tariffs are in and out, which is the hope of the Ming Dynasty and other countries. There is a concept, Zihao, you have to remember clearly.

"Listen to His Highness's teachings!" Chang Zhilang picked up the shorthand book and remembered it.

"Gold, silver, precious metals as currency, this is wealth. But materiel. For example, raw materials such as raw silk, sugar, and grain are even more wealthy. Foreign framed objects, gold and silver currency. This is, of course, also wealth. But for the government, more material output is the real wealth that can make the world rich. Compared with. Currency...... However, the collection of seigniorage can be accomplished through financial means, which is not the key factor in making a country rich and strong. Zhu Cihong said in a deep voice, he knew that these words were truly spoken, and they would profoundly change everything in the future of this country.

It is precisely because of this understanding that Chang Zhilang remembers to be very serious.

Zhu Cihong paused, and then said: "For example, I am rich all over the world, and there are countless skilled craftsmen. There are many craftsmen, and many new workshops are being built. Under such circumstances, why do we sell the lowest raw materials, raw materials, grains, sugar, and iron? Instead of sending a tael of raw silk to the textile workshop? The price of woven cloth is enough to double, and the profit of printing and dyeing into exquisite patterns and colors can be tripled, and then made into my Chinese clothing, which is exquisite and high-grade, and can be doubled. In this way, wouldn't it be more important to make Daming rich and powerful than selling raw silk? ”

Chang Zhilang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say: "Your Highness's words woke up the person in the dream." In this way, it really points out a way for the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment. His Majesty understood, just like what he did in Linqing, by changing the tax rate. Reducing the tax rate on clothing exports and raising the tax rate on raw materials such as raw silk can complete the regulation and control of the Ming economy, allowing more people to open workshops. There are many workshops. Workers have jobs and incomes. The workshop owner will have a profit, and naturally there will be more taxes. Contrarily. After the hard work of the people, raw silk has a higher value, and the tariff does not decrease but increases! ”

"You can teach." Zhu Cihong slowly bowed his head: "That's it!" It is also possible to heavily tax grain exports and attract grain imports with zero tax rates. Attract a steady stream of overseas supplies into the Ming ...... Well, in some time, the Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department will be established, and the Customs Administration will enter here as a direct department of the Cabinet. Hello, think about your future work. As for the level...... For the time being, there is only one place in Nanjing, and I have set it on the five products. When you bring the team and establish a complete customs system in the world, I will upgrade you again! ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Chang Zhilang solemnly gave a military salute.

Seeing this, Zhu Cihong patted Chang Zhilang on the shoulder, and the convoy slowly drove into a new yamen near the Confucius Temple.

This is another place in Daming.

General Police Department, Nanjing Police Station.

There, he met Si Qi, who retired from the Military Aircraft Department and joined the Nanjing Police Department as the director.

Strictly speaking, Si Qi was originally just Zhu Cihong's personal assistant. At the beginning, when I entered the military aircraft department, I actually did things like a backyard manager, taking care of the logistics and heavy affairs of the personal guard. It's just that with the rapid expansion of Zhu Cihong, he has changed from a small official with hundreds of chaotic soldiers to the head of the tax division, and the number of people under his hands has doubled, and there are thousands of people all of a sudden, and he has held the artery of the empire. Finally, he entered Henan to participate in the battle to defeat Li Zicheng, and after a big battle, the soldiers and horses gathered and expanded to the point of a royal guard legion.

Since then, Si Qi has felt that the burden on his body has become more and more huge, although Zhu Cihong has continued to expand the manpower of the Military Affairs Department, even if he is a useful person, he still faces complicated affairs. Fortunately, Yang Wenyue later entered the Military Affairs Department, although Si Qi lost the position of the first person in the Military Affairs Department, he became more and more comfortable in doing things.

Here, in fact, it is also because Si Qi's status is too low.

After Si Qi was a eunuch, although he had Zhu Cihong's cronies, after all, he was too young and his ability not to mention it, and it was a big problem to be difficult to convince the public. Shandong Town only had its own group of people and horses, and after the formation of the Royal Guards Legion, how could fierce generals such as Chen Yongfu, Hu Dawei, and Fierce Tiger be willing to have such a person on top of him?

At this time, the inclusion of Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, did not see you to make the style of the Military Affairs Department soar, and also allowed Si Qi's status to match.

It's just that Zhu Cihong gradually saw that Si Qi was not particularly suitable for the growing military affairs, so he transferred this Ai, who had some experience in suppressing military law and was also quite fond of reading, from the Military Affairs Department to the Nanjing Police Station to preside over affairs, and called Huang Zongxi and other young men to help.

It just so happened that many wounded soldiers in the army began to retire one after another, and Zhu Cihong organized several police regulations to open this Nanjing Police Station, and as for the establishment, it was also put up in the cabinet as usual.

After inspecting the police station and encouraging this diligent general, Zhu Cihong ran to the Nanjing General Military Hospital non-stop, and Nanjing Normal School and Guozijian finally arrived in the imperial court.

Inside, there was already a man who had been waiting for a long time.

There were two other people waiting with him, one of whom was Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong.

Zhao Zhilong was not in a hurry, he sat in the back house of the military department at the moment and found a place to sit, waiting leisurely, and gossiping with Han Zanzhou, the inner guard, from time to time.

Han Zanzhou was in a very relaxed mood.

Although Zhu Cihong did not like the ministers, he did not kill them all. Not to mention anything else, many old and weak eunuchs Zhu Cihong have found some errands and introduced them. Don't mention anything else, it's okay to look at the door for the old and weak.

Most eunuchs don't have the so-called glory and wealth, and they are grateful to Dade for having a position to sit and starve to death in the second half of their lives.

As for Han Zanzhou, this person has an average character, but after hearing about the Xingchen, he took the initiative to ask Ying to buy his own fleet to accompany him, but the purpose was not to make money in business, but to explore.

After Zhu Cihong learned about it, he encouraged him and agreed.

He knew that Han Zanzhou wanted to be famous, and he was also testing Zhu Cihong's attitude towards senior eunuchs.

Zhu Cihong was very curious about whether Han Zanzhou could act as a colonial vanguard.

As for the last of the three who were still in the Imperial City......

Naturally, it's Shi Kefa.

At this moment, he sat in the public room of the military department, with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky: "There are three people guarding Nanjing, two of them have been impressed by His Highness, and now there is still the last person left in me, it seems that it is useless to insist on opposition." ”

Thinking of this, Shi Kefa couldn't help but acquiesce.

But instead, he looked at Huang Daozhou, who was coming step by step, and said, "Youxuan is here today to persuade me, is it also to persuade me?" ”

Huang Daozhou said in a deep voice: "I have received an appointment. ”

"Oh? Your Highness? Shi Kefa raised his eyebrows.

Huang Daozhou bowed his head slowly: "In the future, the Ministry of Rites will divide part of the city's education administration, which will directly belong to the cabinet, but my personal work will be directly reported to His Highness." ”

"Hello Director Huang." Shi Kefa smiled and wanted to say something to the other party, but after all, he realized that he was doing things for the court, and there was nothing to blame.

What's more, it's for education?

"Ten million taels." Huang Daozhou muttered.

"Huh?" Shi Kefa didn't understand.

Huang Daozhou said in a deep voice: "Ten million taels, education funds!" ”

Shi Kefa was stunned.
