"Land is the basic national policy of the Ming Dynasty. Whoever dares to destroy this point is the word "death." When Min Ruoxi said this, her eyebrows were raised and an invisible murderous aura spread out. Xiao Wu beside her trembled. Although her face was pale, she immediately straightened her body. Xie Cheng and others trembled slightly. When Min Ruoxi said this, she had no room for maneuver.

"Do you know why the people of the Ming Dynasty support the court so much? Do you know why the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are invincible on the battlefield?" Min Ruoxi knocked on the sitting Arhat couch with some excitement.

Xie Cheng and others lowered their heads silently.

Min Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down her tone: "You are also the largest landlords in Da Chu. I can understand the idea of ​​you want to preserve your own land, but I will never agree. Regarding land policy, the Ming Dynasty has laws."

"Empress, we are not the biggest landlord in Da Chu." Xie Cheng said in a depressed manner.

Min Ruoxi was stunned and then understood and couldn't help laughing: "You are right. The largest landlord in Da Chu should be the Min family. The royal courtyard is full of Da Chu, but in the future, it will all belong to the Ming Dynasty." She glanced at Xie Cheng and the others: "Do you know how much land the Emperor of Da Ming has?"

Xie Cheng was stunned for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the territory of the Ming Dynasty is much larger than that of the Great Chu. I think it will be more or less, right?"

"You are wrong, the Ming Dynasty royal family has no inch of land." Min Ruoxi said with a smile.

Xie Cheng looked up suddenly, looking disbelief.

"I know you don't believe it, but as long as you ask the Ming people you know, you will know that I am not talking nonsense. The emperor said that the world belongs to him, so why do you need these lands? It's better to distribute them to those who have no land and let them farm and produce more food." Min Ruoxi said.

"How does the royal family live?"

"Life? Of course, I have a salary!" Min Ruoxi said.

"The emperor also receives his salary?" Xie Cheng was stunned.

"Why not take it? The emperor has to deal with national affairs and is busy with all kinds of things. The things he does are not much different from those of the officials. When officials get their salary, the emperor naturally has to get his salary. Even if I get my salary, I also get my salary, because I do things too." Min Ruoxi smiled and touched Xiao Wu's head: "But like Xiao Wu, there is no money to take it. Now we support him."

Xiao Wu stood up and said, "Mother, the father said that when his son was sixteen years old, he could work in the Fire Death Camp, and he would also have a salary and could support himself."

"Haha!" Min Ruoxi smiled with unknown meaning and patted her son's shoulder: "That's, that's!"

Xie Cheng and others below were dumbfounded.

"Mr. Le, how much is our salary?" Min Ruoxi suddenly turned around and asked Eunuch Le beside her.

"When I go back to the Empress, Your Majesty's annual salary is 100,000 taels, and the Empress is 80,000 taels." Eunuch Le said justice.

"Is this little money enough?" Min Ruoxi asked again.

"Of course it is not enough. In addition to the daily expenses of Your Majesty and the Empress's family, Your Majesty and the Empress often give rewards, and this amount of money is far from enough." The smile on Eunuch Le's face remained unchanged.

"Yes, of course this little money is far from enough. I still remember that Shangshu Su owed us several years of salary but said he had no money. Now Geng Jingming is in power and actually said that he doesn't recognize his ex and the bad debt, but he is so angry." Min Ruoxi said as she seemed to remember something annoyed, and Liu Ye's eyebrows stood up again.

Xie Cheng and others below are about to petrochemical, what is this? The emperor takes this little money every year, but the Ministry of Revenue still refuses to pay the debt. The emperor does not even bother with the Minister of Revenue. If this is in Da Chu, I am afraid it will be a head-breaking person?

The couple added up to 180,000 taels of silver. In the eyes of ordinary people, it was a huge sum of money and an astronomical figure, but in the eyes of these people in the hall, it was indeed a small sum of money. They spent far more than this amount a year!

"What should I do if I don't have enough money? I want Geng Jingming, a traitorous guy, to add money to the emperor, but he definitely refused. The royal face needs to be maintained, so we have to find another way." Min Ruoxi looked at Xie Cheng and smiled. "Xie Cheng, tell me, what's the solution?"

Xie Cheng didn't know how to answer. After a while, he said: "As long as your Majesty speaks, someone will naturally offer you."

"That's a forced robbery. Oh, no, this is called asking for bribes, is it Mr. Le?" Min Ruoxi asked again.

Le Gong nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Empress, the Ming Dynasty's criminal law stipulates that bribes and accept bribes are the same crime!"

"You see, this road is not feasible. If the Emperor of Ming Dynasty cannot be the first to abide by the laws of Ming Dynasty, what is the meaning of this law?" Min Ruoxi seemed helpless: "The emperor did not care about money, but he was ruthless when using money. Le Gong, what did we look like when we were the poorest?"

"Umpress, when we were the poorest, we owed Changlong silver and silver as much as one million taels of silver, and we had a five-century ounce." Mr. Le bowed again.

"How did we solve it in the end?" Min Ruoxi asked again.

"At that time, we thought of a lot of solutions. Yinggu even had the idea of ​​going to Qin to rob. However, the empress said that she had lost the royal face and refused to let my aunt go. The aunt gave up this idea. Later, it was King Wang Yueyao who came up with a solution to this problem."

"Can you think of a solution to this problem?" Min Ruoxi looked at Xie Cheng.

Xie Cheng was silent for a while and shook his head. There were many ways, but the solutions he came up with were afraid that they would not conform to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, so he simply hid his weaknesses.

"Our Ming Dynasty royal family is very poor, but we have something that is worth a lot, that is, the credit of our royal family and the prestige of the royal family. So, we sell it for money." Min Ruoxi said lightly: "Some merchants are allowed to hang up our royal family's signatures to do business. Le Gong, I remember that it seems that each company chooses a merchant, right?"

"Yes." Le Gong smiled and said authentically.

"Don't get me wrong. With the royal signboard, you have to pay the tax you should pay, and you can't lose a penny, because we are also shameful. If the merchants with our signboard do anything illegal, it will be our face. So, Eunuch Le will send people to inspect every year. Mr. Le, how much does it take for us to sell this signboard this time?"

"Go back to the queen, each company chooses a merchant who can play the royal signboard, and we charge a signboard usage fee of 5 million taels." Eunuch Le smiled.

"Five million, we've given it." Min Ruoxi smiled, "Mr. Le didn't receive his salary for several years before, how much is Mr. Le now?"

"The grace of Your Majesty and the Empress, I now have a salary of 100,000 taels a year. The little money the court gave to the old slave is really not favored by me, and I haven't received it in the past two years." Eunuch Le smiled.

"Yes, but our annual signboard usage fee is 5 million taels. After Geng Mingming found out, he beat his chest and stamped his feet. He said that if he had known that His Majesty would allow this, he would do it, and he could do it. It would be doubled!" Min Ruoxi said.

"Even if it doubles, you can't let Lord Geng do it. After his hand, he must scrape down a layer. Maybe he will divide half of it!" Eunuch Le was obviously very worried about Lord Geng." The old slave had already found out about the method he was talking about. Next year, the old slave would come to handle it, so that he could earn ten million taels for the empress."

The smile on Min Ruoxi's face slowly faded away, and looked at Xie Cheng and others and said, "Look, the Ming Dynasty royal family has no inch of land and does not do any business. Just relying on the prestige of selling the royal family, you can earn ten million taels of silver a year. Min Ruoying has so many royal villages, how much money does the inner treasury have? How much is the net profit in a year if you own such land? Do you understand what I mean?"

After hearing this, Xie Cheng and others didn't understand what Min Ruoxi meant. They all looked extremely bleak.

Min Ruoxi pointed to the hall where they were, "Let's talk about this Taohuazhuang. At the beginning, the Tian family used money to smash your Xie family and snatched this place from you. The Tian family was originally a big landlord, but now they have no land. But is the Tian family richer than you?"

"Land is the foundation of the country. How can individuals use it to collect?" Min Ruoxi said without waiting for them to reply, saying to herself: "Anyone who wants to do this is a person with ulterior motives. If you can't be the same as the court, what kind of inheritance family do you want? The destruction of the clan is right in front of you."

"I told you all this today, just to tell you that you don't want to fight this idea. Even if the Ming Dynasty has to make greater sacrifices, it will never be used as a transaction." Min Ruoxi said: "As for other things, it is not impossible to talk about it. You big families, poetry and books passed down from family members, and there are many scholars in your family. Now the Ming Dynasty is in need of more scholars to become officials. Your children can be given priority." After suppressing, Min Ruoxi began to throw out sweet dates, "Of course, we don't want those officials, we only want young people."

A trace of blood finally appeared on Xie Cheng and others' faces.

Min Ruoxi looked at them, and the smile on her face became stronger: "There is another thing, why not tell you first. Your Majesty has only one son and one daughter. For the descendants of the royal family, I am going to choose a few concubines for His Majesty. Women from Chu are naturally the first choice."

She looked at Xie Cheng and the others meaningfully.

In an instant, the blood faded away on Xie Cheng and his men's faces, but they turned red in an instant. Xie Cheng even stood up: "Empress, do you think this is serious?"

Emperor Qin Feng ascended the throne for ten years. Except for the queen Min Ruoxi, there was no other woman. It is widely rumored that Min Ruoxi was domineering and did not allow the emperor to accept concubines. They naturally knew it. Now Min Ruoxi suddenly raised such a topic, and the meaning of it is naturally self-evident.

"Of course it's true. Do you think I'm really a tigress and you don't allow His Majesty to accept a concubine?" Min Ruoxi said a little annoyed.

"No, no, no, the empress is wise and virtuous, and it is hard for the world to compare with." Xie Cheng said authentically.

Min Ruoxi said slowly: "I know about your families, and the daughters in the family are very well educated."
