Daming: I really don’t want to be an emperor!

First, he briefly introduced the overall progress of engineering construction, water conservancy management, and warship manufacturing in which the Ministry of Industry was responsible, and then listed the specific completion status of each project one by one.

Zhu Yunhuan sat on the dragon throne, listening attentively to the report of the Minister of Works. Sometimes he frowned slightly, thinking about some key points mentioned, and sometimes he smiled with satisfaction, expressing his recognition of certain achievements.

When the Minister of Works finally finished his statement, Zhu Yunhuan nodded slightly, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Your Excellency's words are very detailed, and I have understood them clearly." Zhu Yunhuan said in a steady and gentle voice. Then he raised his hand and gestured, indicating that the Minister of Works could sit down and rest for a while.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Minister of Works thanked him, sat down, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Fortunately, my department has worked very hard this year.

Zhu Yunhuan looked around at the ministers in the court and said slowly, "From the report of the Minister of Works just now, this year, all the colleagues in the Ministry of Works have worked diligently and tirelessly, and have achieved good results in all aspects of work, especially in river dredging and farmland irrigation. The results are remarkable and have greatly improved people's livelihood. I am very pleased with such performance. I hope you can continue to maintain this good momentum and make new contributions to the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty! The Ministry of Revenue will give each official of the Ministry of Works a bonus of 10,000 taels."

"Yes." Xia Yuanji accepted the order.

Zhu Yunxun said calmly, "Xia Laokou, please also make a report on behalf of your Ministry of Revenue."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue's income and expenditure this year is so huge that we started to summarize and check the accounts two months before the New Year. We haven't calculated it yet, and the general ledger is still being calculated.

This year, the Ministry of Revenue allocated funds to open the Ming Bank and started large-scale lending business. Currently, 70% of the clans in the world still owe money to our Ming Treasury.

At the same time, the Ministry of Households promotes pig farming among the entire population, population growth, full grain warehouses, and full weapons and equipment. From this year onwards, no one will starve to death in my Ming Dynasty anymore.

In addition, the nationalization of land and the implementation of the national policy of allocating taxes on land have been fully implemented. According to reports from various provinces, they have been fully implemented and the people have been allocated land. "

Xia Yuanji gave a simple report.

There is not much to say about the Ministry of Revenue, because the Ministry of Revenue mainly pays money.

The Ministry of Revenue does accounting every day.

Zhu Yunxun said with a smile, "The total expenditure account of the Ministry of Revenue this year has not been calculated yet, which means that the Ministry of Revenue is very rich this year, haha."

Xia Yuanji: Do you want to think about how many companies have been raided this year, how much clan deposits have been collected, and the increase in commercial taxes this year?

"Compared to the Hongwu period, when there was a deficit almost every year, now the national treasury is well-off, grain warehouses are full in various places, and military reserves are sufficient. This is all the result of your majesty's wise leadership. The Chengqian era is coming, and your majesty has achieved it."

Wang Chunsan stood up and flattered him.

"Your Majesty has led the way, and we will continue to work hard."

Everyone stood up and followed Wang Chunsan to flatter him.

Zhu Yunhuan raised his hand slightly and pressed it down, then spoke with a kind yet dignified smile on his face.

"Although I am the ruler of the world and lead the Ming Dynasty to prosperity, without the dedicated work of you, I am afraid it would be difficult to achieve such achievements today! Therefore, this is not only due to my wise decision, but also inseparable from the hard work of you, my dear ministers. Next year, you and I, the monarch and the minister, still need to work together and make unremitting efforts! Well, in this case, please let the Ministry of Rites continue."

Zhu Yunhu was not modest, but at the same time he did not deny the achievements of his officials, nor did he take all the credit for himself.

The Minister of Rites coughed twice, cleared his throat, stepped forward, respectfully saluted Zhu Yunhuan, and then spoke.

“Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites that I am in charge of has been very busy this year, but it has also been very fruitful. On the one hand, we are working hard to compile all kinds of new books.
