Chongzhen only saw the fact that the post station had lost money for three thousand years, but he could not imagine the glory of economic chain hotels in the future. With the improvement of road conditions and the birth of new means of transportation, people's yearning for flow will make a profit after 50 years of loss.

"It's good that you have such a public aspiration," Chongzhen nodded, "I'll know that the leader of the family will suffer in the future. What else is there?"

Zhu Cilang smiled and continued: "Then it will be the big head of the Ministry of Revenue."

The Ministry of Revenue has been the majority since the establishment of three provinces and six ministries in the Sui Dynasty. Not only has the power, but the number of people is greater. Now, the Ministry of Revenue of the State Council has divided the 13 departments named by each province under the Ministry of Revenue. In addition, there are also departments such as Zhaomo, Guangjiku, internal and external transportation warehouse, and military storage warehouse, so it is divided into four departments: Civil, Du, Jin, and Warehouse.

The Ministry of Revenue also had to manage ethnic minority affairs, especially in terms of taxation, tea trade and marriage population. As one of the important national policies of Qinghai-Tibet control in the Ming Dynasty, the tea-horse transaction was also an important department managed by the Ministry of Revenue. In order to prohibit private tea trafficking, the court appointed the tea inspector's censor, and established the Tea-Master Division, Tea-Master Division, and the Certification and Inspection Office. The Tea-Master Division sent by the Ministry of Revenue was stationed in Xining, Hezhou, Taozhou, Ganzhou (the three places are in today's Gansu), Yazhou (now Ya'an, Sichuan), etc., all under the management of the Ministry of Revenue.

The rewards and tributes in the court's interactions with foreign tribes were also handled by the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites.

Such a department is managed by one person, and it is inevitable that it is insufficient to be energetic. In particular, few people have generalists who manage the overall situation and cannot be proficient in finance and have a good understanding of civil affairs.

After roughly summarizing the functions of the Ministry of Revenue, Zhu Cixuan concluded: "Therefore, my son wants to divide the functions of the Ministry of Revenue into five."

"One of them is the statistics of the household registration of the people, and the formulation of the national yellow book is in charge of the country. It is kind to all the people and to benefit the people, so that men can be divided, women can be returned, and widows, widows, widows, orphans can be raised."

This is the Confucian expectation of the great harmony era. It is also the social security system implemented by the Ming Dynasty. Chongzhen was naturally satisfied after hearing this and kept his head in his arms.

"The second is the land and land administration, which governs the world's fish scale book, supervises the national treasury, and carries out the granary. It was the official who governed grain and the officials of the corporal farmer in ancient times. The sons thought that they could be established as the corporal temple."

"In the future, the name of "The Grand Master of the Household School" will not be used anymore." Chongzhen smiled knowingly. The taste of a prank succeeding, which made Zhu Cilang subconsciously feel that this young man was really lacking in weight.

"The General Administration of Maritime Trade Taxation is responsible for the marine trade tax of various provinces, and can also be considered to be separated from the Ministry of Revenue. The General Administration of State Taxation will also collect the national agricultural, industrial and commercial taxes; and then the General Administration of Industry and Commerce will formulate a document, and any households with a purchase or sale of more than 100 taels must be registered and paid for industrial and commercial taxes."

Zhu Cilang finished speaking in one breath, but Chongzhen fell into deep thought and said for a long time: "I know that the crown prince is excited and all parties use money, but in this way, wouldn't it be a competition for profit with the people? The car before the temple is a must-see."

Emperor Wanli of the Shenzong was firmly nailed to the ranks of the foolish monarchs, as if the people were suffering and starving everywhere when he was governing the country. However, in fact, he fought three major battles that were enough to affect the fate of the empire - whether he himself realized this or not. It can be said that

If there were no Shenzong, there would be no North Korea. Japan would have had a mainland springboard as early as Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Without Shenzong, the rebellion of Hebai in Ningxia would be out of control, and there would be no peace in the northwest border, and even an independent country would be independent.

If there was no Shenzong, the Bozhou Rebellion would only continue to expand. Not only would Sichuan and Guizhou not be protected, but even Yunnan and Guangxi might be separated from their territory.

These three major battles are all about national strength, and the result of the joint efforts of the Jing camp and the border army. It is said that the Shenzong has accumulated wealth into the treasury, but people have ignored one thing: as long as the Jing camp is dispatched, the military pay will inevitably be paid from the treasury. Shenzong is indeed not generous, but this is the rule of the ancestors. He has not been so stingy that he ignores the laws of the ancestors.

The treasury spent all real money and silver, and there is no gold mine under the Forbidden City. Where does this money come from?

Of course, only tax supervisors are sent to collect taxes everywhere.

When Emperor Taizu Gao founded his country, he set the national tax and mining tax extremely low, so low that the later emperors were not enough to offset the cost. The money spent on sending people to collect taxes was actually lower than the tax revenue. Then the only way to close state-owned mines and iron plants. Everyone knows that mining is the way to get rich, so these minerals switched from public to private, and began the process of privatization in the Ming Dynasty.

This process has been basically completed during the Wanli period.

In other words, all the valuable things in the Ming Dynasty have been divided up.

Emperor Wanli’s idea is also very simple: if you take things away, it’s fine, but you have to pay taxes, right? Do you find a civil servant to collect taxes?

That is impossible.

There was a clean governor of the canal transportation named Li Sancai who wrote a memorial on the emperor's struggle for profit and exploiting the people's wealth. When Hai Rui scolded Emperor Jiajing, there was something to cover up; but Li Sancai's memorial was almost pointing at the nose and cursing.

Of course, Li Sancai was indeed honest. As a giant in Donglin, he was called the "Tuta King" in the eunuch party's "Donglin Dianjianglu" and his assets were only 4.7 million taels.

What is the concept of four million and seven million taels?

It was the total fiscal revenue of the Tianqi Dynasty for one year. Before Chongzhen gave additional funds, even four million taels might not be able to collect each year. Even if Wei Zhongxian had made money on Tianqi, Emperor Tianqi's treasury did not exceed 700,000 taels. Emperor Chongzhen still had hundreds of thousands of taels of treasury available in the early days of his ascension, but after Yang Sichang's "Ten-sided Net", he was at his poorest only 70,000 taels, and even the gold and silver utensils in the palace were spent on money to replenish their wages.

How many? Not many!

This kind of thing is not a secret that only later generations know. At that time, Li Sancai's "non-nature" was already known. It was only Li Sancai withstood the tax and the mining supervision, and formed a large number of big merchants, and some people made him famous. He also had a close relationship with the three giants of Donglin, and his political enemies were all included in the "eunuch party" list, so he naturally became a famous sage in the world.

It is hard for Zhu Cilang to imagine what he would do when he met someone like Li Sancai. I am afraid that it would be difficult to relieve his hatred if he did not let him be disgraced. From this point of view, the Emperor of Shenzong was a little timid and would only deal with the problem with cold violence that he would avoid.

"What the father said is so much, so my son planned to use civil servants to collect taxes." Zhu Cilang knew very well what his reaction would be if he excluded the tax supervisor. Today's big merchants are even better than those in the Wanli period, especially after the Shanxi merchants were curbed, the Hui merchants in the south of Huai and the Zhejiang merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang lost a natural enemy, and they would inevitably be stronger.

In terms of supporting political spokespersons, Huizhe businessmen are even more skillful, and have a relatively successful precedent of the "Donglin Party".

"This is difficult." Chongzhen shook his head and sighed: "My son is still young. I don't know that cutting off people's wealth and killing his parents are irreconcilable. Moreover, among the civil officials, there are open alliances and secret parties, so be careful." Chongzhen remembered Qian Qianyi's case, but in the end he was left alone and only punished a few small officials. Everyone knew that the abandoned son who was originally a gamer behind the scenes.

"My son can do it." Zhu Cilang smiled and continued: "As for the national finance, if you talk about the Ministry of Finance, it would be a bit unpleasant. You are still named the Ministry of Revenue. As for the duties of raising the people, another department will be established, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs is named. What does the father think?"

"Well, Emperor Taizong of Tang was originally called the Minwu before, so it's appropriate."

Chongzhen responded with a slight response, and was still worried about the prince's reform. He had experienced poor days and knew the hardship of asking people for money. The key was that it was not only hard, but also unable to get the money. As for letting civil servants collect money, it was even more whimsical, unless his son could find the second Hai Rui.

Because of this concern, Chongzhen was a little careless about the changes in the Ministry of Works, Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Personnel. Moreover, there was no major change in the Ministry of Works and Ministry of Personnel, but the Ministry of Justice is no longer responsible for trial cases and is responsible for managing police stations and prisons across the country.

The judicial adjudication function is in the central government, and it is also separated from the Criminal Office in the local area. The Dali Temple is established in various provinces, and the prefecture-level and county-level establishments are established.

The blueprint of the entire reform is grand and complex, just like the small and small parts in the Thai clock. It is indispensable, and if you are not careful, it will collapse completely. Such a huge project may not be successful even if no one makes trouble. Because it involves "uncommon hatred", there will inevitably be people, many people, and many people with financial power to resist.

Chongzhen shivered when he looked at his weak son's expression of resolute victory. He remembered that the eldest son led his troops into the palace that day and took everything he should have to Shandong in just a few days. After planning for several years of migration to the south, his son did not express his feelings... Perhaps this is the emperor's courage.

Chongzhen remembered the time when Emperor Tianqi held his hand and said to him: "My brother should be Yao and Shun."

"My son should be the Qin Emperor and Han Wu." Chongzhen suddenly blurted out.

"Okay." Zhu Cilang, who was already in deep thought, responded casually.

...

On April 30, 19th year of Chongzhen, Beijing's urban defense was officially handed over to the Shuntian Prefecture Inspection Department, public security was transferred to the Shuntian Prefecture Police Department, and the city appearance and sanitation were temporarily under the supervision of the Fire Safety Department. The original Five City Military and Horse Office was dismembered into several pieces and withdrawn from the historical stage again.

Of course, if there is no accident, it will not be "reset".

The First Guard Division recovered Ji Town, and reorganized the army to the four towns of Yongping, and acted as an attack on Shanhaiguan, so as not to allow the Qing army's two red flags to rush to Ningyuan to support the two white flags.

The Third Guard Division defeated the enemy at Juyong Pass, advanced all the way east, recovered the valleys of the Great Wall, and fought straight to Miyun.

This was the capital that the Third Guard Division protected the periphery of the capital. The First Division, according to the plan, was to conquer Shanhaiguan and then attacked the two white flags of the Donglu with the Second Division.

Zhu Cixuan is currently worried about the war, only the Second Guard Division, which is behind the enemy. If the Eastern Barbarians exert their strength and fight from Jinzhou, the Second Division will probably have to suffer heavy casualties if they want to defend Ningyuan. However, before this, it is important to step up the reform of the national system and expand mobilization capabilities, which is the fundamental method.
