Buhua silver plus the amount of 200,000 taels was agreed upon by Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, and he had already received the approval from Empress Dowager Cisheng Li.

However, this matter was decided by Zhang Juzheng's efforts. Emperor Wanli decided to issue an order after the wedding, because the cost in the palace was reduced at that time, and there might be a possibility of further compression.

Empress Dowager Cisheng Li strives to be frugal, and Feng Bao has other ways to make money. Zhang Juzheng's suggestion that the two of them naturally agree completely.

However, he did not expect that Emperor Wanli proposed it at the court meeting today. Although the national plan was decided by Zhang Juzheng, the emperor said it on this occasion. That was the will, and the emperor must take it seriously.

Zhang Juzheng frowned and looked at Feng Bao again. However, Feng Bao was also looking at the emperor in surprise. His eyes met Zhang Cheng beside him. Zhang Cheng also smiled bitterly and shook his head.

It seems that this matter was entirely the little emperor's own idea. Zhang Juzheng moved his shoulders and stood more straight. The emperor was not the child who was sarcastic. He had grown up and became more and more determined. Perhaps he should be treated with a more cautious attitude.

Hearing the emperor's words, Zhang Juzheng was still calm, while Ma Ziqiang, the Minister of Revenue, stepped forward a few steps and said earnestly:

"Your Majesty, the world's wealth is a fixed number. Use more gold, flowers and silver in the palace, and less outside the palace. Now the treasury is full, but it has collected the past owes. There are still many places to spend money. The 300,000 yuan was squeezed out by the Ministry of Revenue gritting its teeth. Please be careful to think and do it!" After saying that, he kowtowed heavily, and the atmosphere in the court changed a little. Zhang Juzheng didn't care about the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers, but just turned around and glanced around.

Zhang Juzheng's eyes were extremely divine river swept over by his eyes, and everyone felt their hearts tremble. Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing almost went out at the same time, and Chen said excitedly:

"Your Majesty, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Nowadays, the country is reviving, and money is used everywhere. You must not make bad examples without making any mistakes. It is a matter of scattering people's wealth as a family!"

"Add gold, flowers and silver, the taxes of ordinary people in Jiangnan and northern Jiangbei will be heavy, and the world will be unstable. There may be external troubles and internal thieves take advantage of the situation. Please think carefully!!"

After these two people said that Ma Ziqiang, Li Youzi, the ministers of all departments who were no longer in the cabinet, the censors, etc., they all knelt down and said a few passionate words, thinking that too much words would lead to mistakes. They knelt down and kowtow.

Emperor Wanli always had a smile on his face. When everyone knelt down, the smile on his face only stiffened slightly, but he was still smiling.

Such a smile fell into the eyes of the ministers, making it even more profound. Zhang Juzheng knelt in front of the emperor as soon as he flirted with the hem of the court suit, and said in a solemn voice:

"Your Majesty, the world is Your Majesty's world. The subjects in the world are your Majesty's children. Your Majesty's food, clothing and expenses are all supplied by the subjects in the world. Those who are elders use one more cent. Those who are children use one less cent. For the sake of the world, please cherish your Majesty and don't need extravagance."

"I haven't said how much money I have added, why are you so earnest, all of you get up, the king and minister discuss matters, and there is no way to say so many things."

However, the ministers did not get up, and Emperor Wanli did not insist, and said with a smile:

"Ma Aiqing, I ask you, where are the gold, flowers and silver?"

"Report to Your Majesty, gold, flowers and silver are all tax deductions from the provinces in Jiangnan."

"What taxes are these taxes?"

"It's mostly Tama."

As soon as they asked and answered, the ministers gradually stood up and exchanged their eyes. This question was said to be common sense, and the more they felt strange it was brought out by Emperor Wanli.

"Travel tax? In other words, I have to add gold, flowers and silver quotas, and the quotas must be paid to the people below, right?"

"There is nothing more than the emperor tomorrow. Your Majesty uses one more point, and the farmers will use one less point. Please ask Your Majesty to be polite to the people's livelihood and not to increase gold and silver."

"When I was in Prince Yu's Mansion, I remember that the guests who came to the mansion often said that Jiangnan's wealthy people gathered not in the fields, but in industrial and commercial trade. Since the taxes of farmers and the people cannot be collected, why not collect commercial taxes?"

When he heard Emperor Wanli filed a commercial tax, everyone in the house changed their qualities, and Zhang Juzheng said in a voice:

"Your Majesty. The right way for the country's wealth lies in land, land levies and service are the pillars of the country, and commercial taxes are the small path. If it is used for a great deal, it will definitely ruin the country and the country. Your Majesty must not make such a plan. Please think twice and please be careful!!"

"Please think twice, please be careful with your majesty!"

The ministers said in unison, and then kowtowed together. A nearly neat dull sound could be heard in the room. Emperor Wanli raised his eyebrows, his smile on his face became lighter, and he asked again:

"Mr. Zhang, in addition to the salt tax, can there be less commercial tax in the Ming Dynasty in one year?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the world's commercial tax was 270,000 yuan last year, mainly in the canal. However, this tax must be used to repair river labor and rectify the grain ships, and it shall not be misappropriated."

This question was answered first by Ma Ziqiang, the Minister of Revenue. After all, he specialized in his profession, and the court officials were 120% willing to let the emperor find out his grammatical problems.

Emperor Wanli smiled and nodded, saying: "I suddenly set the annual gold and silver quota of 2.2 million taels, plus a hundred and two pine talents." What do you think of me?"

No one expected that the quota would be mentioned directly after the topic changed. This amount was too shocking. One million and two hundred thousand taels, how much silver would be in the Ming Dynasty's financial resources a year.

Fu Zhang Juzheng frowned, his face full of solemn expression. He kowtowed again and said;

"Your Majesty, this number is too incredible. If it is really enacted in the world, all officials will not know why, and the people will be frightened and the peacetime will inevitably be turbulent. The country will also be in danger of overturning. Your Majesty, this situation can the ancestors and ancestors be willing to see, the spirit of the late emperor in heaven, and the Queen Mother is willing to see!!"

At first, he tried to persuade him, but later his tone became more and more severe. The smile on Emperor Wanli's face gradually disappeared. Feng Bao, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, looked left and right. He gritted his teeth and walked up to Emperor Wanli's ear and said:

"Long Sui, I will save money, and I can squeeze out the cost in the palace. If you continue to fight with you like this, the Empress Dowager will have to be angry. Did Mr. Long Sui forgot to kneel to the Taimiao?"

Emperor Wanli kneeled on the Taimiao, and Empress Dowager Cisheng wore formal clothes to pay tribute to his ancestors and carried out decrees and establishment. This is what Emperor Wanli feared the most.

According to Feng Bao's estimate, he said this: Emperor Bu stopped when he saw the opportunity, but this time it was different. Emperor Wanli gave him a smile and whispered:

"Pan Feng doesn't have to worry, Lian knows how to behave."

Feng Bao was stunned and suddenly felt that the person in front of him was no longer the one he had seen since childhood, the child. His familiar round face was full of confidence and calmness, and a kind of aura was faintly radiated. This little ancestor was really the emperor.

I don't know if it was sentimental or some emotion. Feng Bao subconsciously took a step back and whispered

"I'm Menglang, please forgive me."

Wanli nodded with a smile, turned around and said to Zhang Juzheng, who was still extremely serious and said:

"What Mr. Zhang said is, how about I give in and add one million taels?"

Zhang Juzheng looked solemn and had a little angry. He was a little confused. Why did the little emperor who was in charge of everything suddenly raise this inexplicable issue? Could it be that someone in the court was instigated? But if this is the case, it would be impossible for Feng Bao's Dongchang and the Jinyiwei whom he controlled could not have no news.

"Your Majesty, one million taels is too much. Please think carefully!!"

Zhang Juzheng did not kowtow, but said loudly there, his voice was already a little high. The curtain on the outer door of Wenyuan Pavilion was lifted up by someone. Several guards glanced at it and lowered the curtain again.

"If the land tax is added to the joint, so what if there is no additional land tax or commercial tax?"

The ministers who had kowtowed all looked up and looked at the little emperor in surprise. Could it be that the emperor had drunk and said such crazy words? Even Zhang Juzheng was stunned. Ma Ziqiang reacted quickly and said quickly:

"Your Majesty, salt tax is also the foundation, and you will never be as light as you can see the ears.

"Ma Aiqing was considerate and Lian did not make any decisions on salt tax." "If you increase taxes, it will still make the people suffer."

"The Union will not add new tax items."

The Wenyuan Pavilion was completely quiet. Both the ministers and the eunuchs were staring at Emperor Wanli sitting on the dragon throne. The fifteen-year-old emperor, the old god, continued:

"No taxes are added, no donations are issued, and no squeezing public funds in the treasury. Since this amount of millions is set, the joint is self-financing, but the joint affairs are the affairs of the world. The joint behavior is the rules and regulations. It is said that this is just a pre-notification of all the ministers, everyone should get up!"

After a quiet time, all the ministers stood up one after another, Ma Ziqiang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was old. At this time, he asked in a dizzy manner:

"Your Majesty, if you don't increase the tax, don't open new donations, don't squeeze out public funds in the treasury, where will the palace raise the extra one million taels of gold and silver?"

Zhang Juzheng suddenly spoke:

"The Emperor Zhuang and Huangdian are an act of disturbing the people, and the Empress Dowager will never allow this matter."

"The Union will not make any work on this."

At this time, even Zhang Juzheng was confused. The Internet was about to continue asking questions, but when he heard Zhang Siwei coughing lightly behind him, Shen Shixing said in an extremely low voice:

"Gei, this is the emperor!"

Zhang Juzheng then took a deep breath, feeling that he was too forced, but he still said it to death so as not to cause trouble in the future, and said now:

"Since Your Majesty said this, I should comply with it. However, there is no tax increase, no donation, no public treasury funds are squeezing, and no Huangzhuang and Huangshang store. These cabinets must be written into the ticket plan. I wonder if the CSRC can approve the bonus?"

"What the Lian said is, Lian will naturally be accurate, so why would the Sili Supervisor not approve the winner?

Having said that, no matter how incredible it is, it will be settled. Zhang Juzheng sighed and bowed with all the ministers.
