Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 429 Li Shanchang: The minister has a good law, which can solve the difficulty of the treasury

Mu Ying and Song Guogong Feng Sheng went to Yunnan. In this battle, Mu Ying acted as the vanguard to attack the Dayuan Liang King Bazaravalmi, surrendered the Dali Duan family, and pacified Usa, Dongchuan, Jianchang, and Mangbu. The barbarians and chieftains.

It took only a few months to obtain these many military exploits.When it comes to military exploits, it is many times better than Zhu Su who was struggling in Ji Town.At this time, he was already a rising new generation of generals within Daming.

Of course, Zhu Su is not just happy because this brother who is excellent to him has made great achievements. More importantly, Yungui has many forests, and if he wants to develop the shipbuilding industry in a short period of time, such a natural timber base is absolutely indispensable. .

You know, before lighting up the ironclad ship's technology tree, if you want to build a sea ship, you must have a giant tree.With Yunnan, after acquiring Yunnan, Daming had a nearly inexhaustible supply of giant trees.With Yunnan, it is equivalent to the first hand card to open the Ming Dynasty's great navigation era, and it is ready.

Zhu Su couldn't wait to see the grand occasion when Daming's loyal fleet took the American continent in the east and the Australian continent in the south.Countless Ming caravans dumped countless teas and silks all over the world, allowing all humans on this planet to experience the majesty of Chinese civilization...

However, soon Zhu Biao poured cold water on Zhu Su who was caught in his imagination:
"Well, it's good to have great victories in both the north and the south, but rewarding the three armies is also a big problem."

"Father is not easy to be the head of the family. Now that the army is returning, where should we go to raise this amount of silver..."

"...Is the hole in the treasury so big?" Zhu Su was stunned.

……

At this time, Jinshen Palace, as Zhu Biao said, as the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, was discussing with several confidant ministers how to increase the use of the country.

Logically speaking, although the imperial court in the early years of Hongwu was waiting to be rejuvenated, it still showed an upward trend in general. The taxes received by the country were in a state of increasing every year, and there should be no such sudden insufficiency. This is the case.

But because of Zhu Su's appearance, Lao Zhu, who was quite satisfied with the current development of Ming Dynasty, suddenly felt that the time was not waiting for him.One is to learn that Daming only has a lifespan of more than two hundred years, and his own Hongwu year is less than 30 years left.

The second is to learn that many of the policies that he has set are of no benefit to Daming in the end.The national policies such as "military households" and "vassal kings" formulated by him have become several boulders that crush the vitality of Ming Dynasty.

Lao Zhu is a person who has to do everything by himself. Unlike the European emperor who said "after I die, let him be flooded", he will never leave known problems to future generations.

Can't relax!Daming will die in more than 200 years!

Therefore, he immediately started to check and fill in the gaps for future generations. He wanted to speed up time to expand the territory and make the cake of Daming bigger.

I can't wait to bring all the land on the Kunyu Wanguo map under the rule of Ming Dynasty.

However, the Ming Dynasty at this time has not even taken back all the old mountains and rivers of the Han and Tang Dynasties.Bei Yuan was still watching outside the Great Wall, and Northwest and Southern Xinjiang were not yet under Daming's control.It's just that Yunnan was taken back a few years earlier, and Daming's finances were actually in trouble.

This made Lao Zhu suddenly realize: So our Ming foundation is so weak?
I feel irritable, and my complexion is not very good-looking.At this time, Lao Zhu was sitting behind the court case with a frosty face, and all the civil servants who wanted to impeach Zhu Su were frightened and kept silent.

"Last year, Lingbei lost, and there were many famines in various places, and we spent too much money, so let's not pursue it. This year, the weather is good, so how can the tax be unusable?"

"Don't tell us that the north-south military affairs cost too much. Let you come, not to let you find reasons to shirk."

"We don't care about the other things. We'll entrust you with Nuoda's family business. No matter what, you have to come up with a useful method! It must be given to the imperial court, and this mess must be wiped out immediately! "

Seeing the emperor furious above, the ministers and servants below trembled, but no one dared to say anything.In the past few days, because of the wealth, they have been worried and frightened. Although at the beginning it was indeed all kinds of excuses, but in terms of it, they still came up with a few ideas.

However, the Hongwu Emperor above is not only powerful, but also a master who doesn't rub the sand in his eyes.Whether it was raising taxes for the people or reducing military expenditures, all kinds of suggestions were rejected by him.

At this moment, the officials could only bite the bullet and hang their heads down, acting as clay bodhisattvas in the temple, just pretending that they could not see or hear.

Seeing the bowed heads of these court officials, Lao Zhu became even more angry.At this moment, he really missed Hu Weiyong a little bit.Although Hu Weiyong was deceitful and arrogant, he was also a talented person.In those days when he was the prime minister, if the court encountered problems, there was always a way to solve them in the end.

Unlike these well-read poets, who prevented the Zhu family from meddling in the Imperial College and impeaching the old five for accusations, they struck hard; to solve the problem of the empty treasury of the imperial court, they immediately became submissive.

The cabinet officials who replaced the prime minister's position were mostly young Hanlin at this time.It is no problem to let them draft documents and upload them.But if they want to worry about practical affairs and give suggestions on governing the country, they are obviously not ready for that...

On the other side, Li Shanchang, who had been lowering his eyebrows all the time, saw that Lao Zhu was about to explode, and thought it was time.

If you come forward at this time, not only can you win the trust of the superior, but you can also sell the favor of all the officials...

So, he stood up from the chair that Lao Zhu gave him a special seat, cupped his hands and said to Lao Zhu: "Reporting to the superior, I have just thought of a method, which may solve the crisis of the national treasury."

"Oh?" Old Zhu's spirit lifted.Sure enough, when it comes to practice, it still depends on this team of veterans who have followed me all the way.He hurriedly asked Li Shanchang: "Grandfather Han really deserves to be our Xiao He! Say it quickly."

"Yes, superior." Li Shanchang cupped his hands. "The old minister knows that the superior loves the people, and he doesn't want to give more to the people."

"But if this is the case, how can money be conjured out of thin air to subsidize the country?"

"After thinking about it, there is only one method that was used in the old Yuan Dynasty, which can solve the shortage of the national treasury..."

"Okay, why beat around the bush, don't we know what you, Li Shanchang, are capable of?" Old Zhu cursed with a smile, interrupting Li Shanchang's pedantic words. "Let's just say it! As long as it's not a rebellious government that harms the people, we will definitely reward you!"

"Thank you sir!" Li Shanchang's eyes flashed with joy, and then he said calmly: "The good method mentioned by the old minister is the one used in the Yuan court, the money method!"

"Money method?" Old Zhu was taken aback.

"Yes." Li Shanchang nodded. "The old minister thought that as long as I print my Daming banknotes, I can solve the problem of the imperial treasury forever!"
