Aren't you against judicial reform? Then I simply did not go through the judicial process, and directly convicted me of not accepting people at night. I don't believe your ass are clean.

After Qin Mu returned to Beijing, several more officials were soon sent to prison at night.

plus the batch that asked in Henan on the way back to Beijing. When the hundred officials saw this, the number of people who wrote against judicial reform was suddenly reduced by half.

In this regard, Qin Mu was greatly satisfied, he had just personally conquered the Longyou Hetao, returned triumphantly, and his prestige was rising, and those who dared to rebel against Tianwei at this time were only a few after all.

Qin Mu also accepts it when he sees it, and not collecting it at night is a double-edged sword, its destructive power to the judiciary is very strong, and if he wants to improve the judicial system of Daqin, he can't use it too much, otherwise it will backfire.

As soon as the opposition was small, Qin Mu immediately asked Huang Lianshan to stop.

On the fifth day of returning to Beijing, Qin Mu once again attended the opening ceremony of Nanjing Institute of Technology in a high-profile manner.

In this regard, the hundred officials are no longer surprised, and the emperor of Great Qin likes to run schools from the beginning of the army.

In that year, Yuelu Academy was burned down by Zhang Xianzhong, and Qin Mugang laid a corner of Changsha, and began to rebuild Yuelu Academy, and also went to Yuelu Academy to teach in person.

During the Northern Expedition, he discussed with Sima An in Shangqiu and rebuilt many academies such as Yingtian Academy, which Fan Zhongyan taught.

Subsequently, the Army Academy, the Naval Academy, the Royal Academy, and the Military Medical College were established, and even women were recruited as students. In the past two years, there have been five or six hundred royal Mongolian schools.

Anyway, if you count your fingers, there are too many schools run by the emperor to count, and since the beginning of the world, there has not been an emperor who likes to run schools as much as he does;

He even encouraged private individuals to run vocational schools, which were so strange that they were dazzling.

Now there is not much more polytechnic, there is no less, and the ministers have long been numb to this.

It's good to be numb. Qin Mu himself is happy in it, talents, science and technology, these are the foundation of a strong country.

He saved his own money, and almost all the money in the inner treasury was used to run schools, and when these schools became the climate, they cultivated batches of talents, and at that time Daqin wanted to unify the world, I am afraid it was not impossible.

After attending the opening ceremony of Nanjing Institute of Technology, he returned to the Royal Academy in Dongyuan. Visit the protégés of the Son of Heaven who have coached by themselves.

Most of these first students enrolled in Yuelu Academy have now grown into teenagers.

The current Yuelu Academy still enrolls 200 school-age children every year, but except for the first batch, it is no longer sent to the Royal Academy.

Recalling that at the beginning, Qin Mu also personally taught a group of military cadets, calling them the teaching team. Those military cadets are now the backbone of the army.

And Yuelu Academy, a group of boys who he had high hopes for, has grown into teenagers. But graduation is still years away.

Most of them were orphans, and when they were admitted to Yuelu Academy, most of them were children who had just experienced the destruction of their families, and they were hungry and cold. If they hadn't been recruited as students, many of them would have starved to death.

Now they have become protégés of the Son of Heaven, and they are also studying with the crown prince Qin Ye. This kind of kindness makes everyone feel that everyone is very hard to learn. I only hope to be able to learn as soon as possible to repay the kindness of the Son of Heaven.

When Qin Mu arrived, he was greeted by a pair of warm and adoring eyes.

They are the first group of students who have studied mathematics, physics and chemistry in an all-round way, with comprehensive knowledge and broad vision, Qin Mu is considering whether to disperse them to the three newly established polytechnic colleges to study, so that the old can lead the new.

After meeting this pair of fiery eyes, Qin Mu dispelled his thoughts, let's let them stay in the Royal Academy until they graduate.

Qin Muri took every opportunity, visited these protégés of the Son of Heaven, returned to the Great Qin Palace, and then summoned Liu Boquan and Xu Yingjie to the Huagai Palace to discuss matters.

Waiting for the palace maid to bring the tea, Qin Mu said sincerely: "Liu Qing, you have worked hard for the past year. ”

"Your Majesty's words are serious, and the minister will never dare to be it."

"Deserved, deserved, you have to act in charge of the affairs of the household department, and you have to enter the cabinet to discuss national affairs, and you don't have a moment of leisure all year round, although I am not in Nanjing, but Liu Qing's hard work, I am well aware.

As the saying goes, a penny is hard to beat a hero, and the same is true for a country. In the past few years, fortunately, Liu Qing has taken care of the household department for me, and I can stand up with this waist. ”

"Your Majesty said so, let the ministers have no place to be ashamed, dismantle the ministers, and demolish the ministers."

"Liu Qing, in a year, you have aged a lot, I have been worried about your body during my time in Xijing, if your body can't support it, where can I find such a good Hubu Shangshu for a while?

Liu Qing, let's do it, I specially allow you to take a three-month vacation, go back to your hometown to have a look, or take a good rest, the household department will be handled by Xu Qing and Yang Qing first, but after three months, Liu Qing will come to perform his duties on time, and I can't do without you for too long. ”

After Qin Mu finished speaking, he instructed the palace maid to fetch a century-old ginseng from the palace and give it to Liu Boquan.

Liu Boquan was moved to tears, and once again bowed to the ground to thank him: "Your Majesty's kindness is higher than the sky, and the ministers have nothing to repay, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Liu Qing, get up, I still have something to discuss with you."

"Your Majesty, but for the war in the southwest?"

"Yes, I don't want to wait any longer this time, I plan to cleanse the southwest in one fell swoop, and the household department now has money and food?"

"Your Majesty rest assured, last year's personal expedition, although it cost a lot, but the navy took Sulu and Baiqi City, and captured a lot, in addition, all industries in the country are thriving, labor is in short supply, and the navy sold prisoners of war" Liu Boquan said this and closed his voice, and did not continue.

The navy sold a large number of indigenous women from Luzon and Jinghai provinces to merchants at prices ranging from 5 to 10 dragon coins, and the number of indigenous women who are now sold to work in Daqin is probably close to one million, and this income is quite amazing.

"Overall, last year, His Majesty's personal expedition, the cost of grain, grass and military expenses was 9.58 million dragon coins, plus the rewards of meritorious soldiers, and the bereavement of the fallen soldiers, the total expenditure was 17.88 million dragon coins. The total expenditure of the war in the northwest was basically the same as the revenue paid by the navy.

Last year, the tax revenue of the national treasury was 67 million dragon dollars, and the total expenditure was 38 million dragon dollars, and there is still a lot of surplus. His Majesty wants to use troops against the southwest, and although the treasury has set aside a part of the emergency, it can still spend 20 million dragon coins at present.

If 20 million dragon coins is not enough, then it is only when the summer tax comes up, the minister estimates that this year's summer tax, including the salt and iron franchise, should be able to have 28 million dragon coins, plus the commercial tax may exceed the agricultural tax for the first time, it is estimated to reach about 30 million dragon coins, and the minister thinks it should be able to cope with it. ”

"Enough, enough, I promise not so much." Qin Mu showed a cheerful smile, the so-called rich waist is hard!

Finally, not so much money was spent on the navy in vain, and now the annual income that the navy contributes to the treasury is already very remarkable.

It is no wonder that the Western colonizers were so keen on selling slaves.

"Okay, as long as the treasury can come up with the money, Liu Qing doesn't have to worry about it, you can go and recuperate for a few months with peace of mind."

"Thank you."

Seeing the emperor's smile, Liu Boquan couldn't help but smile, he was different from others, he worked hard to take care of the household, not so much for the country, but for the emperor's kindness, he was loyal to Qin Mu personally, more than loyal to the country.

The emperor really treats him well, and he is definitely the first to enjoy such a specially approved holiday.

"Xu Qing, Liu Qing is on vacation, you have to work more in the past few months."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Xu Qing, what is the credibility of banknotes now?"

"Chen Zheng wants to report this matter to His Majesty, the one million taels of Qin Bao banknotes issued before have now been basically accepted by the people, and the value of the currency can roughly remain equivalent to the dragon coin. The minister thought that the time was now ripe to gradually increase the circulation. ”

Although affected by the notoriety of the Daming treasure banknote, the Daqin treasure banknote depreciated at the beginning, but because the circulation was not much, only one million taels, it was not difficult to stand up with the financial resources of Daqin;

It's been almost three years, and the bank has never stopped exchanging the equivalent amount of treasure banknotes, and it is also allowed to use treasure money to pay taxes when paying taxes, and the people are finally slowly relieved now.

Qin Mu listened to a few words of goodness, the industrial revolution must be supported by the financial system, and the improvement of the financial system ultimately depends on credit currency.

If you control the grain, you control all the people; If you control the currency, you control the whole world.

Qin Mu hopes that in his lifetime, Daqin's credit currency will become the world's common currency, and only in this way can he control the finance of the entire world.
