These 680,000 taels are just the first batch of relief silver!

After the disaster victims were settled and the fields were cleared, there were also the victims' houses, livestock, and grain.

The river embankment is also reinforcing and building.

Xia Xiang, the Minister of Works, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's expression and said carefully that he could still make up now, but the money will be used at the latest in the spring next year. Where can I allocate this amount? I would like to ask Your Majesty to tell you!

If you don’t be in charge of your family, you don’t know that firewood and rice are expensive. Although the Ming Dynasty is big, there is a clear place for each of the income from the treasury.

Zhu Yunqiu thought in his mind about the memorials and detailed statements about the tax and finances of the Ming Dynasty. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, wars have continued. Only by supplying material resources from the whole country can we ensure military advantages over the Northern Yuan Dynasty. At the same time, Tubo, Yunnan and other places also have more than one million military expenditures every year.

Zhu Yuanzhang was an emperor who loved the people and was unwilling to increase the burden on the people. Therefore, the only thing that supports the Ming Dynasty's finances was the only salt tax in Lianghuai every year, with a total price of about 8 million taels. Other taxes were taken from the people and used for the people to allow the people to recuperate.

After doing this, there is really no spare money at home.

A few days ago, the capital sold stamps and collected more than 200,000 yuan! Zhu Yunxiu thought about it and said that the post station had already been relocated to the world. His grandson saw that it was not as good as Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Quanzhou and other prosperous trade places, and they were sold one after another. All the silver obtained was given to Jiangxi relief.

The money that has not fallen into your own pocket is never money! Zhu Yuanzhang pondered that if the money obtained from the sale is not satisfactory, he should still move the east wall and repair the west wall. When doing things, we cannot hang ourselves on a rope, at least we have to prepare for it.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very bold in military affairs, but he was very careful in people's livelihood.

The money from stamps was only seen in the capital's profits. He had not seen the success or failure of other places, so he was naturally worried.

The Ming Empire was stumped by the combined millions of disaster relief silver. In the final analysis, Zhu Yuanzhang was too upright in governing the country and refused to think about it elsewhere.

If it was a so-called prosperous era hundreds of years later, there would be some solutions. The Ministry of Personnel in the court sold the top clothes, officials handed over the bank to discuss the crime, and the customs became the emperor's private house. What about going to Jiangnan, building the Old Summer Palace, pacifying the small and small, and Zhuo Jinchuan, and pacifying Outer Mongolian money?

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from the dragon chaise and walked to the window of the hall with his hands behind his back.

Outside the window, the originally clear sky slowly climbed up a few dark clouds, covering up the sun and making the room dark.

Grandson! Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly sighed, "It's easy to conquer the world, but it's difficult to sit in the world!"

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang, who was strong in nature, sighed like this shows that it is difficult to be the leader of the Ming Empire.

The imperial edict was sent! Zhu Yuanzhang continued, and he lent the Jiujiang and Wuchang Dacang to the nine prefectures and counties of Jianchang, Fuzhou, Jiangxi, 700,000 shi of disaster relief. The Ministry of Revenue allocated 700,000 taels of disaster relief.

As he said that, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and looked at the ministers to solve the urgent needs of the disaster area first. For the rest of the days, let’s think of ways that living people will not let their urine die. Having said this, the topic changed, and their eyes became cold like a knife. Let’s talk about the ugly words first. This is money and food for the people in the disaster area. Who wants to reach out and weigh how heavy his head is!

I followed the order! All the ministers replied.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the curtains swayed slightly. The drizzle drizzled into the window with the wind and fell on the bright floor tiles, fleeting.

Zhu Yunxiu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's frown and the sneer on his lips, and knew that he was extremely irritated. The Ming Empire he was proud of and the Ming Empire he was conscientiously guarding was actually very fragile.

He is a perfect person. He wants to do his best in terms of people's livelihood or military affairs. However, he has not been able to achieve balance in the past twenty years of unification.

As soon as they got along day and night, Zhu Yunyu regarded Zhu Yuanzhang as his own grandfather from the bottom of his heart. Seeing him feeling so uncomfortable, he felt uncomfortable.

Immediately, after thinking about it, Zhu Yunyu walked to Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor's grandfather and grandson had some immature suggestions.

Zhu Yuanzhang and the ministers all looked at each other. The former could only smile. Dasun, you can say whatever you think. There are no outsiders here!

Regarding the money for disaster relief, my grandson thought of several ways. Zhu Yunyu spoke slowly. First, a stamp made by the emperor's grandfather's imperial pen as a model sold for 100 taels a few days ago. I heard that the capital has now sold a sky-high price of 500 taels of silver.

The grandson thought that all the subjects in the world loved Grandpa Dai Huang. Since this is the case, why not the court took the lead and organized the gentry near the capital to donate money. They would not let them donate for nothing. If they donate more than 1,000 taels, Grandpa Huang could write a loyal and honest person by hand.

I spent 1,000 taels to buy a pair of heirlooms. My grandson thought that those rich men would definitely break the robbery. Perhaps the threshold of the Ministry of Revenue could be broken!

I don’t agree! Liu Sanwu, the clan of the Secretariat, said first, “How can the emperor’s handwritten letters be sold to the people easily? In this way, what is the face of the court and the dignity of the emperor? Furthermore, there are many gentry and rich people who are illegal. If you have the handwritten by Your Majesty at home, will they break the law in the future? Wouldn’t they have a life-saving talisman?

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, Liu Aiqing is right! We don’t agree with this.

Zhu Yunxiu sighed helplessly. The hierarchical imprint of this era is too profound. The emperor's handwritten letters or gifts from imperial court are a rare honor. These things must be worshipped at home and cannot be resold for generations, and there are records in the palace.

If the emperor's handwriting was exchanged for money, the censors of the Inspectorate and the Hanlin Academy would probably jump to the books. And what Liu Sanwu said was right. If the emperor's calligraphy was at home, it was still the word "loyal and honest" that local governments were not easy to manage.

Let me ask, if a wealthy family has this thing and takes it out directly when facing the officials, and Emperor Hongwu’s imperial pen is here, who dares to take care of it?

In fact, everything has its pros and cons. The ancients thought about the disadvantages in advance, while Zhu Yunyu's modern soul wanted to make profits first. It was hard to say who was right or wrong. The ancients were used to following the steps and maintaining stability. What Zhu Yunyu thought was to be flexible and flexible and effective quickly.

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi was a little disappointed, Zhu Yuanzhang comforted him, although it was inappropriate, Dasun, you are so smart that it is rare to think of this solution in a short time. As he said that, he forced a smile again. You are still young and you are not considerate in some things, so I won’t blame you!

Zhu Yunxi bowed slightly and continued to speak, "The grandson has a second solution. Grandpa Huang still remembers what we saw in the city today?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused, please continue!

Today, Grandpa Huang and I left the palace and saw a gambling house with a prosperous business in the city! Zhu Yunxiu said to the ministers that this second method was what we thought of.

As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu looked at everyone's curious eyes and spoke, lottery!

The ministers were stunned. They studied hard for decades, and this thing was unheard of.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and pondered deeply.

Chinese people like gambling, and there are such bad habits in both the people and the military. Since they can’t be prevented, why not block them? Zhu Yunxi continued to say that one stamp can be sold for two dollars, and one lottery can be sold for two dollars, and it can be sold every day!

Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxiu walked to the ministers and continued to say loudly that lottery tickets are also lottery tickets. Four types of grand prizes are set up, A, B, C, and D, each type of prize is different, such as A level prizes fifty taels...

Fu Youwen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, seemed to understand a little and said, "How to determine the winning prize?"

I'll say it's a bit more popular! Zhu Yunxiu remembered the way to play the two-color tickets in his previous life and said, "Lottery, there are twenty-four solar terms and twelve zodiac signs." Four numbers are selected from the twenty-four solar terms, and two numbers are selected from the twelve zodiac signs. If they are added together, they will be the first prize!

Seeing that everyone still didn't understand, Zhu Yunqiu simply picked up a piece of paper and a pen.
Chapter completed!
