Chapter 237 The capital is also a battlefield

One month later, Donghuamen.

"uncle!"

Yang Xin saluted to the Nine Thousand Years who personally welcomed him.

Behind him was a carriage that stretched out to the outside of Dong'anmen Square. All the carriages were covered tightly. The Jinyiwei lined up to guard the enemy on both sides. Even the Jinyiwei was driving. This was how these carriages came all the way from Tongzhou to here.

Jiu Qiansui didn't answer him.

Instead, he walked directly behind him and lifted the tarp covered by a carriage.

There was a dazzling silver color reflecting the sunlight inside.

"Yes, the old man is more dear than anything else when he sees this thing now.

The old man stretched out his hands to ask for money when he opened his eyes. He asked for money on the battlefield in Liaodong, the Huangji Palace, the civil and military officials, and the hungry people who suffered disasters in the local area wanted money.

Everyone reached out to me like hungry ghosts.

But in the Ming Dynasty, this one does not pay taxes, this one does not pay taxes, this one has fame and honor, this one says that it does not make money, and that one says it is too poor to lose its roots. Then you go and open their cellars, but they are all richer than the emperor. They are all a group of traitors, saying that we are treacherous ministers, and I think they are more like treacherous ministers. One of Li San can only copy millions, and the other can copy millions. Back then, they all called them honest as water.

Is this Tama as honest as water?

Those who smuggle and lend money loans all have the face to say that they are as honest as water?"

Nine thousand years later said hatefully.

"Uncle, who made you angry?"

Yang Xin asked.

"There are many days when you make the old man angry. Don't worry about them. The old man is in his fifties and has been a bachelor in the palace for most of his life. He won't be angry with them. Do whatever you should do outside. As long as we can get the money for His Majesty, no matter how many mad dogs outside are bitten, it will be useless."

Jiu Qiansui said.

It is obvious that he has been tossed very hard during this period.

Then he waved his hand and signaled the carriages to continue driving forward into Donghua Gate.

These silver was not sent to the internal transportation warehouse. The latter was indeed an internal warehouse, and it was indeed a eunuch. However, it actually belonged to the six ministries. To be precise, it was jointly managed by the internal officials and civil servants, but it was only in the imperial city. Therefore, the power of distribution and other powers must be given to the eunuchs, but the use was used by the six ministries. This is clearly recorded in books such as the Ming Dynasty that were circulated to modern times in the Ministry of Industry and Technology. Most of the materials in the Ministry of Industry and Technology were taken from these ten warehouses.

Including rewards for wild boar skin.

Back then, it cost more than 300 taels of clothes to reward wild boar skin and several of his subordinates.

That's not the emperor's small vault.

So Tianqi and Jiu Qiansui set up a real small treasury in the palace, which had no name to the outside world, but the money Yang Xin got for them was there, but in fact it was in Renshou Palace. At this time, Emperor Tai Concubine Zheng and Concubine Li and his gang rushed there. The latter was Li Xuanshi. Tianqi fulfilled his promise to his father last year and officially named Li Xuanshi the Imperial Concubine for his father. Now he has been promoted to the Imperial Concubine. In the final analysis, he has actually raised him for almost two years.

And he still raises Chongzhen.

Their place is deserted enough.

The emperor's private treasury is with these widows.

After adding this transaction, more than four million taels of stock have been hoarded. The silver in the inner transportation warehouse has not been moved yet. However, the silver from the inner transportation warehouse is almost spent. The Tianqi is spending the silver there, even the messy materials hoarded by each warehouse, while constantly enriching his small treasury.

However, the mess he made himself, this was directly used to spend the small treasury.

At present, the order of spending money in the Ming Dynasty was to spend Taicang silver warehouse first, but in fact, there was never a deposit there.

Chongzhen had 80,000 taels inside before he hung up.

Then, the inner ten warehouses.

This one is still in stock.

As long as the inventory here is not enough to make ends meet, the finances of the Ming Dynasty can remain normal.

Once the ten treasuries are not enough to make ends meet, and they have to use the emperor's small treasury, the Ming Dynasty's finances are actually on the verge of collapse. So Tianqi and Jiu Qiansu let Yang Xin go and let him use all kinds of crazy means to accumulate wealth to enrich the small treasury. Because this is the final guarantee. The more this small treasury is saved, the longer the adjustment time is left for the emperor. As long as he can continue to use windfall to enrich the small treasury, then Tianqi doesn't care what Yang Xin does outside!

He still has his grandfather's legacy in this regard.

His grandfather let the tax and mining supervisors go out, with the same purpose as he let Yang Xin go out.

However, the combat effectiveness of those mine supervision and tax supervision was incomparable to Yang Xin. In the end, his grandfather did not dare to let go and could only plunder slowly under the bottom line of civil servants and gentry to endure. To be precise, he used the lives of those mine supervision and tax supervision to exchange. The death rate of the Wanli Dynasty tax supervision and mining supervision was comparable to the battlefield. If his grandfather had a thug like Yang Xin, he would not have done more restraint than Tianqi. In fact, the purpose of promoting Yang Xin in this later period may not be without this consideration. This old fox would not pay attention to a person for no reason.

"Uncle, there is still one million new money house opened in the Fang family. This is the silver note issued there. You can get the money by taking the ticket. My nephew has what we have in and outside the palace. I still don't know very well. You look at the minute, so you don't have to leave it for my nephew, but my nephew has left it for me. But my nephew has an additional requirement. I think they will try to take care of this money house when they deposit the money house in the future. The Fang family has just gotten involved in this business, and my nephew has to attract some customers."

Yang Xin handed a small box to Jiu Qiansui and said.

"You kid is sensible, so let me leave this to the uncle."

Jiu Qiansui said with a smile.

They don't have to worry about Apocalypse knowing about this kind of thing.

Wanli all clearly stipulated the share ratio of tax supervision, which was originally four and six points, and Wanli was four and tax supervisors were six. However, in name, the six of the tax supervisors were used for their own expenses.

The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers.

It is impossible to let his subordinates do their best, especially those in the tax bureau with extremely high mortality rate. It is impossible not to give them enough benefits. Although Yang Xin was not burned to death, thrown to the Yangtze River and beaten to death like those tax bureaus, he also wandered around the gates of hell more than once. People went out to make money for the emperor and made himself the number one treacherous minister in the history of the Ming Dynasty. It can almost be said that he was smelled ten miles in the wind. The emperor had to give him enough rewards. Anyway, the reward was not given by the emperor.

Jiu Qiansui handed the small box to the little eunuch who was following him.

As they spoke, the two continued to move forward, and soon turned north with their carriages, walking through the maze-like imperial palace, and finally arrived at Renshou Palace, stopping in a small treasury that was actually an annex building, supervising these Jinyiwei to put the silver with an actual total weight of nearly 100 tons into warehouses. Then the Jinyiwei took the carriages to withdraw from the palace, Yang Xin and Jiu Qiansui turned to the Qianqing Palace, but not the side doors, but directly turned to the Qianqing Gate on the front...

"Look!"

Jiu Qiansui stood in front of Jingyun Gate, pointed to the Ganqing Gate diagonally opposite and said.

At this time, in this open square nearly a hundred meters away, hundreds of civil servants were kneeling there, and the leaders were still crying loudly, as if they were crying for the Tianqi. The front one was holding the memorial in both hands, and I don’t know how long it had been to maintain this posture.

"They're like this every day?"

Yang Xin said in surprise.

"Of course it won't be like this every day, but there are always a few days a month, and the number of people is not that large. Today I learned that you came back on purpose. The leader is Wei Dazhong, the engineering department minister, Gao Panlong disciple, Qian Shisheng, and his fellow countryman, who held the same hand to complain to them. During these days, their group of people took turns to submit memorials to them and impeach you, saying that you are the most treacherous minister in ancient and modern times, and that you are not enough to thank the world if you don't execute him slowly, but you are all under the supervision of the Sili.

Your Majesty doesn’t want to see it either, and I’m too lazy to give it to the cabinet.

When they saw that the report was useless, they ran to block the Ganqing door.

Don’t worry about them. If you can’t argue with Your Majesty, Your Majesty is now behind Kunning Palace every day.

The cement you made was burned out, but the Ministry of Works has not yet been able to produce the steel bars you mentioned. The iron made by Zunhua Iron Factory cannot meet the tensile strength you mentioned. It has not been possible after several batches of tests.

Su Gang can.

But Sugang is too expensive and has to make weapons.

It is said that this thing cannot produce much every year. Besides, as you said before, you still have to take care of Shuntian Mansion and Beizhili first. If you use Sugang, you will give all the money to the southerners.

I have given orders to the iron smelting people around Shuntian Mansion. Who can make steel bars that can reach the tensile strength you mentioned? We will buy them at the price of Sugang, and reward them with Jinyiwei. I guess someone will be able to make them. Why can't Sugang achieve this? However, Your Majesty recently found another use of cement for you. This thing can be used for statues. After it is dry, it is the same as the real thing, which is much stronger than the mud tires in the temple.

Your Majesty has made a lot behind Kunning Palace, and it is becoming more and more vivid. He just started to do it before and there were statues that would crack, but now there are no ones cracked.

Your Majesty also wants to be a ten-meter-long dragon and then stand on Chengtian Gate!"

Jiu Qiansui said with a smile.

"Well?"

Yang Xin was stunned.

He really didn't expect cement to inspire the artistic inspiration of apocalypse.

The Ming Dynasty Palace is like a bunch of cement statues like those of the matrimonial attractions, which is too destructive. However, the ability to pour cement does not crack. This technique is already very advanced, and it also involves problems such as templates and skeletons. With this technique, you can use thickened iron tendons to basically pour the load-bearing columns of Huangji Palace.

The two walked forward while talking.

At this time, the hundreds of monks outside the Ganqing Gate who had already seen them, who had been slightly depressed because of the heat, suddenly became energetic. The mourning howling suddenly rose. The memorial in Wei Dazhong's hand was raised above his head...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have reported the wronged. Your Majesty, I beg you to summon him and report your injustice to your Majesty in person!"
