Xiong Rulin thought to himself that although the Ministry of Revenue Bank is known to everyone in the world, it is not a good reputation. If the world opposes it, how can the Ministry of Revenue Bank be opened in a month? The emperor, who strangely looks confident, does not know where the emperor comes from.

Of course, Wang Fu has a way to solve the opposition from the ministers to open a bank in the Ministry of Revenue. The solution is to follow the appearance of later generations to carry out national taxes, separate local taxes, and leave a part of the tax as local taxes for local officials to pay.

The income of officials who rely on fire consumption, even the most ruthless local officials cannot exceed 20% of the tax, usually less than 10%. If the national tax and local tax separation are divided, Wang Fu's plan is to open seven or three, that is, to leave 30% for the place. This cake is much greater than the fire consumption, and it is legitimate. No one will hold on to the fire consumption without choosing tax sharing. Therefore, no matter how bad the memorials of the ministers are, Wang Fu doesn't care. As long as the tax sharing system is revealed, those aggressive opposition parties will become supporters.

Whether it is the tax-sharing system, it is beneficial for local governments or courts. In the past, tax collections were completed every year, first they were transported to the capital by local governments. The local governments had to use money and grain, and then the capitals were transported to the local governments. After a while, the loss in the middle was a big deal. With the tax sharing system, local governments could leave enough taxes, and the money and grain transported to the capital did not need to be frequently transferred back. The court's financial resources could be concentrated on maintaining the army and maintaining the operation of the court. The remaining part could be used to deal with each other. However, it was pitiful. In the late Ming Dynasty, the taxes of the court were not enough to support the army and maintain the operation of the court, so there was no spare effort to return the local government. In this way, local officials' expenses were all supplemented by fire consumption. Not only the court was poor, but the local government was also poor. If there was a natural disaster, the local government would be unable to provide relief, and the disaster would be caused.

At present, the tax revenue of the Southern Ming Dynasty is still insufficient, only 7 million taels of silver per year. Two battles last year and the establishment of 50,000 Yulin Guards, nearly 5 million taels of military expenditure alone were spent. The deficit was undoubtedly huge. If it weren't for Zuo Liangyu's accumulated decades of money and confiscating the families of several ministers, he would have been unable to make ends meet. Today, although Jiangbei and Huguang returned to the court's reign, the tax revenue of the court could probably increase to about 9 million taels, but the court's expenditure was more, and it was expected that there would be a gap of at least three to four million taels of silver.

The taxes of the court were originally insufficient, but they still had to be distributed to local governments. Wang Fu felt that it was worth it. The benefits of the Ministry of Revenue Bank would be much greater than those people imagined. In addition, the establishment of the Municipal Bosi in the second half of the year. The taxes of the court could immediately increase, and the regular taxes such as land taxes were distributed to local governments 30%. The court could not only achieve balance, but perhaps there would be a surplus.

However, it is not yet a critical moment, but Wang Fu will not announce it early. He wants to see if anyone will jump out to make trouble under the surging ministers. Sure enough, some people still couldn't help but jump out, otherwise even if someone brought the bank, it would not have spread so quickly.

In a wealthy family by the West Lake in Hangzhou, a green-clothed scholar was saying to a middle-aged man wearing a four-clawed golden dragon and wearing a comb: "Your Majesty, good news. Now everyone in the capital knows that the Ministry of Revenue Bank is going to issue paper money, and some merchants have even closed their shops."

This middle-aged man was Zhu Chang, the king of Lu. The first king of Lu was Zhu Yi, the younger brother of Emperor Wanli. He was named Lu Wang at the age of two. He lived in the capital for twenty years. Zhu Yi received all favors. At the age of twenty years, he was a vassal of Weihui Mansion. He was in the vassal of the vassal of the 26th year and the thirty-fifth year of the throne. In the 42nd year of Wanli, he was ill.

Today, Lu Wang Zhu Chang is the third son of Zhu Yi. His first two brothers died young. It was his turn to be a vassal. He was only seven years old when he was a vassal, and now he has been a vassal for thirty-two years.

As the younger brother of Emperor Wanli, Zhu Yi lived in the capital for twenty years before he arrived in the vassal state. The two brothers had a deep relationship. For this younger brother, they spent 670,000 taels of silver to build the royal palace alone. Before leaving, the Ministry of Revenue was asked to prepare 300,000 taels of family settlement. At that time, it was already the middle of the Wanli period. The foundation established by Zhang Juzheng had already lost Wanli. It happened that the disasters in various places were frequent, and the Ministry of Revenue could no longer provide the money, so he had to move it from place to place. The ministers who could not bear it wrote letters to impeach them. Song Xun, the Minister of Revenue at that time, was caught between the emperor and the ministers, and had to resign.

Emperor Wanli knew it well. While comforting Song Xun, he also told the court officials: "Good and devoted themselves to the public. There is no need to argue with words." The ministers were still resolutely. In desperation, Wanli reduced the 300,000 taels of silver to 200,000 taels. When Lu Wang left Beijing to become a vassal, he used more than 500 ships to transport treasures and furniture. Along the way, officials from all prefectures and counties in Henan Province held grand welcoming and seeing off ceremony.

With such an emperor's brother, King Lu would naturally not be like an ordinary vassal king when he arrived. As soon as he took office, Zhu Yi began to plan his way of making money. He took over the place of King Jing Zhu Zaizhen land and King Jing had no sons. Therefore, all the family business in King Jing was inherited by Zhu Yi. King Jing had 40,000 acres of fiefdom under King Jing's name. However, these 40,000 acres of real land were imaginary. The real number was less than half. Zhu Yi ignored it and insisted that local officials divide 40,000 acres of real land.

This scared the court officials and local officials. After King Jing's death, the fields had been returned to the people. After Zhang Juzheng's whip method, the country's land was measured, and all the land could be allocated. Wanli ignored this. He agreed to Zhu Yi's request and ordered all places to identify the land according to the old archives. This action caused an uproar in the court and the country. The people changed their eyes when they heard this. All counties, prefectures, and Ministry of Revenue wrote letters many times. But Emperor Wanli still gave them as required. In the end, 40,000 mu of land was forcibly plundered. King Lu also recovered the local houses and salt tax under King Jing's name...

As for the other ridiculous things that King Lu did during his tenure, there were countless people. Just like this, he actually became famous as a wise king after his death. At that time, the Donglin Party members introduced the second Lu King Zhu Chang to compete with King Fu for the throne based on the name of King Wudixian.

After failing to compete for the throne, Zhu Chang was afraid that the emperor would harm him. The location of the royal palace in another place had been occupied by the Dashun army. He had to live in Hangzhou. Now this house is Zhu Chang's temporary residence. Although he is considered a wealthy family, it is definitely not as good as the Lu Prince Mansion in Weihui.
