Zhu Houzhao suddenly opened her eyes and twisted Liu Jin tightly.

Liu Jin uttered: "It hurts, it hurts..."

Zhu Houzhao said happily: "It seems that it's not really a dream, haha...haha... Liu Fan, we... make money."

"Your Majesty..." Liu Jin said with a grievance: "When I bought it, the odds were one and three, and His Majesty earned 60,000 taels of silver in the middle of his reins."

Sixty thousand taels of silver, this is definitely not a decimal.

The taxes in the Ming Dynasty were mostly based on physical items, including firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. These are the main types of taxes. In addition, they are tributes. On the contrary, the collection of current silver was very small, only two or three million taels of silver a year. This amount was outrageous, so in the early days, Emperor Taizu Gao slapped his forehead and came up with a solution. I had no money to print money, so the treasure money appeared. The officers and soldiers had no money to pay their salaries. It doesn’t matter. I’ll give you a treasure money, which is zero and not enough, and I won’t bring it to you.

However, although this method has been tried and done, it soon encountered problems. Because of the flood of treasure banknotes, the treasure banknotes were depreciated too much. A treasure banknote of 100 taels was not worth even ten taels on the market. In this way, the officials could not bear it anymore. It was okay for the officials to be corrupt and abuse the law, but the Qingliu officials were equivalent to working for the court. The so-called treasure banknotes were not even counted. So they made a fuss for a while, and finally they even paid the salary. When the salary was paid, the poor group of Qingliu was in the cold weather, with their noses and vegetables all over their faces. Then they held their sleeves and squatted under the wall of Chongwenmen. They paid their salary, and then they held silk cloth and went back. They were all paid in kind, and the old man was not deceived.

A few days ago, the Qingliu people scolded the Simen Cang's illegal palm warehouse, and then attacked them in groups. This is why Qingliu still has a lot of people in the capital, and life is actually very difficult. But the salary of this real thing always has good or bad. The same rice may be white and tender fine rice, or brown rice, and the same silk cloth has three grades, and it is normal to use inferior products as good ones.

The current bank is already a rare thing for the treasury, let alone Zhu Houzhao, who had just ascended the throne?

In a blink of an eye, he actually earned 60,000 taels of silver. Why was Zhu Houzhao not excited? His face turned red and he said happily: "Go, go, go... let's get the money... haha..."

Ye Chunqiu felt a little tired. When he returned to the inn, he saw that his father was not here, so he went to his bedroom and fell asleep. When he woke up, he saw his uncle and father having tea in the next room. Ye Chunqiu went up to greet Ye Jing. Ye Jing didn't know what happened at Dongzhimen, so he just smiled at him, "I have always seen you elusively. I have to choose an official in the Ministry of Personnel these days. Although it is probably based on the ranking, I have to be more steady these days. Don't leave any verbal words for others."

Ye Chunqiu quickly said yes, but blinked at his uncle. His uncle understood and said nothing immediately. When Ye Jing went to study, Ye Chunqiu sat down and looked at Sun Qi with a smile and said, "Uncle, how can I do what I asked you?"

Sun Qi also smiled and stroked his beard and said, "It's right, 20,000 taels of silver. The bet I made yesterday afternoon. The odds were one or five. Chunqiu. When I went out just now, I heard the guy talk about Dongzhimen... This time, it was a big profit..." Sun Qi said this, ecstasy flashed through his eyes.

This is really a pie that fell from the sky. Twenty thousand taels of silver were thrown into it, and one was five. How much was this? A full hundred thousand taels of silver.

For them now, this is definitely a huge number.

In this era, silver is not like the colonial trade caused by the great geographical discovery in Spain during the Wanli period, so the price of silver is still stable, 100,000 taels, which is definitely a huge sum of money.

Ye Chunqiu was shocked and finally understood the real problem of this old empire. Because the tax system was unreasonable, the taxes of the court were mainly in physical matters, but the lighter silver was very small. However, most of the local tycoons and officials and gentry hidden countless silver, but these people found it difficult to collect taxes from them. This gambling alone can be seen from the leopard. I am afraid that many wealthy families in the capital would spend a lot of money in secret, and the wealth of these people actually made Ye Chunqiu take a breath, because he vaguely remembered that the annual tax of the Hongzhi Dynasty in the prosperous era was only more than three million taels of silver, and the grain was 10 million stones. In addition, various silks, cloths, etc., looked like a mountain of money, but in fact, there was a huge deficit.

Well, no matter what, the court wants to hide wealth from the people. This is the court's business and has nothing to do with him, because as a commoner, Ye Chunqiu and Sun Qi made a big move this time.

Wealth is moving, and even Ye Chunqiu cannot escape the vulgarity.

Ye Chunqiu blinked at Sun Qi: "Uncle quickly went to exchange the silver tomorrow and hired more people. It would be impossible to find some trustworthy people to help. No, I will buy a house first tomorrow, otherwise it will be inconvenient to ship it to the inn. This money is enough for us to show our strength."

Sun Qi was very happy: "Just build a big mansion in the inner city. If you want to find it, find a decent mansion. All of them are planned to be in the name of the Spring and Autumn Period. In the future, you father and son will have a place to settle in the capital."

Both of them were a little excited. After a while, they would not be able to share the spoils. However, the use of this money was roughly decided. It was necessary to win a large mansion, and it must be in the inner city. The inner city is the residence of officials. First, it is more convenient for Ye Chunqiu and his son to be on duty in the future. Almost all ministries and courtyards and temples are in the inner city. The distance is close, so there is no need to go back and forth. Second, the inner city has good security and better atmosphere. Although it looks deserted, it is better than quiet.

As for the others, we will wait until the Ministry of Personnel selects officials.

The next morning, Sun Qi moved to the gambling house. Ye Chunqiu also got up early and practiced the sword for an hour, sweating profusely. With the surge in physical strength and the strength of swordsmanship, Ye Chunqiu had already begun to search for more sword-related problems in Guangming's brain.

There are thousands of ancient sword scores in his mind. Ye Chunqiu didn't know where this information was collected. In the past, he knew nothing about sword techniques. Although he was determined to practice swords, he did not have enough eyesight to identify the quality of the sword score. However, it seemed reliable, so he practiced according to the rules. Now that he has a deep foundation and has a new understanding of sword techniques, he began to concentrate on choosing a new sword score.
