Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

After a lot of trouble, the two things were settled.

Everyone could see that Zhu Yunhuan had carefully considered and selected the candidates and details from the beginning. It was obvious that there was no room for maneuver no matter what was said, so no one was so ignorant as to say anything more.

Wait for those outside the queue to return to their original positions.

Zhu Yunhuan then continued, "For now, I have only these two things to tell you about. For the rest, you will each submit your budgets based on the responsibilities of your respective departments. I will listen, and you will discuss."

After saying this, he also took off his previous serious demeanor. He leaned back as if it had nothing to do with him, and leaned back in the chair leisurely.

Admittedly, he has much more to do than just these two things.

But Zhu Yunhuan knew that one should eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. Although there was a surplus at the moment, it was not that big.

Of course, he had to move forward steadily on the things in his plan, but while doing so, the first thing he had to do was undoubtedly to ensure the normal operation of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Yunhuan did not intend to use other quotas.

And that's all the extra money.

I will definitely give priority to the most urgent things.

Zhu Yunhuan said this.

While many court officials breathed a sigh of relief, they couldn't help but twitch their lips secretly, secretly complaining: "All the money was spent in one go. Aren't we all going to have to spend it sparingly?"

They all know.

Most of the surplus in tax revenue last year was caused by the major cases at the end of last year and the imperial edicts of "skinning and stuffing" people, while the other small part was saved from the budget allocated for natural disasters last year.

It's not regular income.

No one dares to say what the income and expenditure situation will be like this year.

Of course, they can only plan their budget according to previous practices.

However, officials in the early Ming Dynasty were basically practical people. Although they complained a lot in their hearts, they all had lived through financial difficulties under Zhu Yuanzhang, so they each followed the procedures to focus on the situation under their control, and stood up in turn to report the situation and apply for the budget.

It has been twenty-six years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Many routine matters had already formed systems and rules, so Zhu Yunhuan did not need to worry too much. After the overall report discussion, no other incidents occurred, so Zhu Yunhuan was happy to drink tea and listen to their discussion without saying anything more.

This kind of meeting process seems very boring.

It lasted for about an hour, which was even more torturous.

Wait until they finish pulling.

Zhu Yunhuan finally regained his spirits and yawned, saying, "Today we will only discuss the revenue and expenditure budget. Now that the budgets of each department have been combined, the Ministry of Revenue will compile an overall budget plan. I will review it, approve it, and stamp it with my seal. It will be implemented. Withdraw!"

Now that the matter was settled and Zhu Yunhuan had spoken, the other ministers naturally had nothing else to say. They each woodenly bowed their hands, performed the formalities of taking their leave, and said in unison, "We, your humble servants, take our leave!"

The vermilion lacquered gate of the Qianqing Palace burst open, and the cool fresh air from outside rushed in. Many important court officials dressed in crimson official robes retreated solemnly to the door, and then filed out.

Out of the Qianqing Palace gate.

Everyone then sighed deeply one after another, turned their heads left and right tacitly, exchanged helpless glances with their colleagues next to them, shook their heads helplessly, pursed their lips, and wanted to say something, but they all held it back.

Although everyone in this kind of place was cautious and didn't dare to complain, it was obvious that everyone knew that they were thinking the same thing.
