Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Houzhao heard the words and said sternly, "The Minister of Industry and the Minister of War?"

When the words fell, Li Suide and Zhang Jing quickly walked out of the court class and said, "Your Majesty, this minister is waiting here."

"I ask you, now, are the weapons and horses used by the Ming army at a loss?"

Zhang Jing, the minister of military affairs, was the first to answer: "Report to Your Majesty, the firearms currently used in our army are still handed down from the previous Yongle period. Most of their war horses are old..."

Before Zhang Jing could finish his sentence, Zhu Houzhao interrupted him: "Send my will, and immediately go to the Ministry of Household to allocate two million taels of silver, and replace all the firearms and war horses."

hiss!

When the Minister of War heard the words, he took a deep breath. Two million taels of silver, isn't this a joke?

Really good handwriting and big heart!

However, this made it difficult for Liang Chu, the minister of households, to bleed from his heart at this moment!

Is it easy to save so much money?

If it weren't for the cabinet to punish corrupt officials, this household would have been poor enough to mend their crotch.

Now, after I finally got some money, it was about to be taken away before it was warmed up in my waist. Can my heart not bleed?

At this time, Liang Chu, the minister of households, stepped forward reluctantly and said, "This minister obeys the order!"

When Zhu Houzhao heard Liang Chu's answer, he admitted that he knew that his heart was not out of true intentions, so he said to Liang Chu earnestly: "Liang Aiqing, don't be a child when you are a person and do things!"

"This money should be used where it should be spent. Besides, this thing, if you don't let it play its value, it will always be a pile of waste with no use value."

"I keep in mind the teachings of Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao paused for a moment, then looked around the ministers and said, "All of you Aiqing must be suspicious of what I have done recently, but do you know? What does it mean that the Ming navy is strong?"

"What does the development of big firearms mean?"

"I might as well tell you today that I will continue to build a powerful Daming navy and forge the latest Daming artillery."

"I wonder if you still remember the battle of Tumu Fort?"

When Zhu Houzhao said these words, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty immediately lowered their heads.

Of course, they all remembered the battle of Tumu Fort clearly, but that was a shame in the history of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Houzhao glanced at the group of ministers, stood up slowly, and said solemnly: "I will tell you now, I remember this matter!"

"Moreover, I want to give them back the way I used to! Use their blood to wash away the shame of the past!"

"The money is gone, I can earn it, but how can I forget this shameful family feud?"

"This matter, even after a hundred years, I and my descendants will not forget it!"

"Now, Daming is recuperating, and so are they."

"Someday, the enemy will lead troops to attack. What should we do at that time?"

"So, I feel that the most important thing for us at present is to strengthen the military. When the time comes, we can annihilate our opponents in one fell swoop!"

When the words fell, the DPRK and Chinese officials all looked at Zhu Houzhao,

At this moment, their hearts were full of blood, and they were moved by the emperor's words!

Yes, the battle of Tumubao is the biggest shame in the entire Ming Dynasty since the founding of the country. It is necessary to make the enemy pay blood debts and blood, so as not to lose my Daming demeanor.

For a time, a group of ministers represented by Liu Jian walked into the middle one after another and said in unison: "Chen and Ding Dang will fully assist His Majesty and create greater glory for the Ming Dynasty."

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and said, "With all of you Aiqing assisting me, I am still worried that I will not be able to accomplish anything important?"

After saying this, I heard a trumpet suddenly sounded outside: "The commander of the Jianzhou Guard asks to see you!"

When Zhu Houzhao heard the words, his eyes lit up: "Xuan!"

"Your Majesty has a decree, Xuanjian State Guard King Shouren has an audience!"

When the voice survived, Wang Shouren walked to the center of the hall with sonorous steps in a military uniform.

"Chen Wang Shouren, see your majesty, and wish your majesty holy peace!"

"Wang Aiqing, don't be too polite, hurry up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When Wang Shouren stood up, he cupped his hands and said, "At the will of Your Majesty, I personally lead the army of 3,000 battalions and Shenji battalion to go deep into the Jurchen tribe, fortunately not disgraceful to the Holy Order. Now that I have triumphed, I will return to Your Majesty!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded happily and said, "Wang Aiqing has made great military exploits for the court twice. Today, I will definitely reward you heavily."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, this is what Weichen should do."

"Well, in addition, reward the soldiers of the three armies, according to the military exploits made by the soldiers, one by one."

"The fallen soldiers will be given pensions, and their families will be arranged in time."

"Chen thank the Lord Long En!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, and his eyes revealed very satisfied eyes, looking at the minister in the court.

Before that, there was a speech full of enthusiasm, which ignited the efforts of the ministers to the highest point.

Later, Wang Shouren was returned with great success, giving the soldiers unprecedented hope.

Oara, Tatar, Jurchen...

It won't be long before those foreigners who used to show off their might will eventually be subdued at my feet.

Ministry of Accounts.

The minister of household, Liang Chu, was stunned when he looked at the tax situation of the previous year.

This year, when Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne, he asked them to measure the land in the whole world, and the most important thing was to reform the taxation system.

However, Liang Chu, the minister of households, once persuaded the new emperor that if the taxation of Daming was reformed, it would disturb the foundation of Daming and lead to chaos in the world..."

This is, UU reading www.uukanshu. com Zhu Houzhao of course did not listen to Liang Chu's opinion, which laid the foundation for the demise of the Ming Dynasty in the future. This is another story.

However, Zhu Houzhao still decreed the tax reform, and asked Li Dongyang, the deputy minister of the cabinet, as the main representative, to continue to conduct in-depth surveys of the land in the world.

At first, they were met with great resistance.

However, when they raised the butcher's knife, especially when they found out who was greedy for ink, the progress of measuring the fertile land in the world accelerated a lot.

When Zhu Houzhao destroyed the White Lotus Sect and killed more than 100,000 people, the vassal kings from all over the country took out all the land deeds in their hands.

Inventory the world's land, a thousand miles a day.

Only when they see the cruel side of the imperial power can they submit to the imperial power.

In the Ming Dynasty, each household was taxed as one stone, and it was adjusted to three buckets per mu.

Although it is only a unit adjustment, the magnitude is not large, but it is impossible for those wealthy families to avoid tax.

As much land as they have, they have to pay as much tax!

Although Zhu Houzhao's system has only been implemented for a few months, the effect is very obvious. In two or three months, the national treasury has increased by 40%.

At the same time, the taxation of the common people has been reduced a lot, which has to be said to be a miracle in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

When Liang Chu, the minister of households, saw the tax income of the past few months, he couldn't help blushing with joy, and he was even speechless with excitement.

Thinking back then, he felt that His Majesty was still too young to suppress things when he said that to His Majesty.

However, it turned out that he was wrong. His Majesty not only knew the importance of taxation to the Ming Dynasty, but also knew how to reform taxation. It must be said that Zhu Houzhao has an unexpected side.
