"After all, I still need money." Emperor Chongzhen shook his head slightly and muttered: "If the state's finances do not have so many problems, why should I be so cautious?"

No matter how much the situation encountered in the Ming Dynasty is, it is the fact that the treasury is not enough. If there is no problem with the tax system, no matter how many difficulties you encounter, you can still get rid of them one by one.

"Wang Dehua, where has Bi Qing been?" Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon throne, frowned and looked outside, and said aloud: "Why haven't you seen Bi Qing yet!"

Wang Dehua, who was waiting outside the office room, hurriedly walked in and bowed, "Go back to the emperor, Shangshu Bi has passed the Huangji Gate, and you can come here in a while."

"I understand, go back."

Emperor Chongzhen stretched his eyebrows, said casually, then picked up a memorial and looked at it. At present, the inner court was doing various things according to his own plan.

Although the outer court suffered some fluctuations due to the Yuan case, for Emperor Chongzhen, some places could be chaotic, but some places could not be chaotic.

The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the territory, land, household registration, taxes, salary and financial matters of the Ming Dynasty.

The current financial problems of the Ming Dynasty are extremely problematic. The Ming Dynasty is still in a situation of being in a mess. If you want to solve the financial problems, it is not possible to change them day and night. However, Emperor Chongzhen has made up his mind and wants to choose.

A capable minister to curb this bad trend.

Yujidaming's pressure cannot be piled up on himself. He must choose some helpers to help him share the burden.

Like Wang Qiao, Minister of War and Bi Ziyan, Minister of Revenue, they should have a stable seat. If they could borrow more from their hands to gradually break the deadlock in the Ming Dynasty, it would be what Emperor Chongzhen would do.

Currently, Wang Qiao holds an important position in the Military Affairs Office, and his political weight in the court has undoubtedly increased a lot. What Emperor Chongzhen needs to do now is to enhance Bi Ziyan's political weight so that he can share more of his burden.

"I am so arrogant, please pay homage to Your Majesty!"

The sound of the office room called Emperor Chongzhen to return from his thoughts. Looking at Bi Ziyan who bowed and smiled on his face.

"Bi Qing is here, please give up the gift quickly."

Emperor Chongzhen reached out and signaled: "A few days ago, I was busy dealing with the invasion of Jianlu. After returning to the court, I was busy with other important matters and never took time out.

Taking advantage of the time, I want to talk to Bi Qing about the Ministry of Revenue. People come to give Bi Qing a seat and pour tea."

Bi Ziyan's expression was a little complicated. Looking at Emperor Chongzhen with a smile on his face, he couldn't help but think in his heart that the Yuan case supervised by the Jinyiwei, the storm that the past few days had caused a storm in the country. At this moment, the emperor summoned him to think

When talking about the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue, Bi Ziyanzhen was afraid that the emperor would like to pay Liao salary again.

Wang Dehua walked into the office and directed several eunuchs to bring a stool to Bi Ziyan. However, Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about how to talk to Bi Ziyan.

"Biqing, what do you think of the Liao salary distributed by the state dynasty?" Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, and after seeing Bi Ziyan sit down, he spoke.

"Your Majesty! The state can't pay Liao pay."

Bi Ziyan, who felt nervous, quickly stood up and bowed and said, "Since Your Majesty's extreme, for the Liaodong affairs, the State Administration of China has allocated Liao pay several times, resulting in..."

"Bi Qing, you misinterpret my meaning."

Seeing Bi Ziyan so excited, Emperor Chongzhen interrupted: "I didn't want to pay Liao pay again, and even intended to abolish Liao pay. Do you think this incident will cause a storm in the national court?"

“…”

Bi Ziyan was stunned. He did not expect the emperor to say this. Liao Sheng was specially set up to resolve the Liaodong affairs and quell the Jianlu rebellion.

However, over the years, the amount of Liao pay paid by the Ming Dynasty has been too much, which has caused the tax payers to bear heavy burdens.

The key is that so much food and wages were spent, the achievements made by the Ming Dynasty in the front area of ​​Liao were not proportional at all. Some upright court officials were mostly opposed to the levy of Liao wages.

"Your Majesty, if the Liao salary is abolished, I am afraid that the state will make some noise."

Bi Ziyan calmed down his mind and bowed to Emperor Chongzhen: "After all, it involves Liaodong and Liaoning. It is only based on the money of the treasury. If you want to support the deployment of Liao in front of the Liao Dynasty, it is probably difficult..."

"Bi Qing doesn't need to worry too much about the Liaodong affairs. I have my own ideas."

Emperor Chongzhen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "I want to ask Bi Qing, if there is no Liao salary, can Bi Qing resume the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue as soon as possible?

Many of the affairs that Bi Qing did before were forced to stop due to the attacks of Jianlu.

But after the self-built barbarians were repelled by the State Administration, I did not receive Bi Qing, and the Ministry of Revenue, and asked merchants to transport grain and solid borders, eliminate redundant soldiers and redemption of military pay, and develop Jingdong Shuidian.

, memorials on investigating hidden fields in the world and establishing military camps and other matters.

Bi Qing, what difficulties have you encountered?"

As a capable minister of the finance department, when Bi Ziyan was appointed Minister of Revenue, the measures proposed to Emperor Chongzhen to solve financial difficulties can be continuously promoted.

At least Emperor Chongzhen's ruling policy for the next few years involves affairs of the Ministry of Revenue, and he must give full power to Bi Ziyan to take charge.

After all, it is unrealistic to want to rebound significantly from the treasury fiscal revenue, but at least it is feasible to Emperor Chongzhen to curb the downward trend.

In supporting Bi Ziyan's measures, Emperor Chongzhen could flexibly carry out rectifications based on the situation encountered, so that the collapse of the Ming Dynasty's finances could gradually gather together.

At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to use the Da Nei Factory and rely on the reorganized imperial village to establish an economy directly under the inner court to increase the income of the treasury. When the new Ming army expanded into power, the subsequent things would be easier to do.

"Your Majesty, I..." Facing the Emperor's inquiry, Bi Ziyan was a little confused. After hesitating for a while, he bowed and said, "I don't want to..."

"I understand Bi Qing's difficulties."

Emperor Chongzhen stood up, interrupted Bi Ziyan's words again, walked forward with a smile, and said, "Bi Qing must take responsibility for this Ministry of Revenue.

Don’t just put those good strategies down just because of some influence from the state.

I summoned Bi Qing this time to emphasize these things to Bi Qing. No matter who opposes what Bi Qing does, I will support Bi Qing.

Since Bi Qing is the Minister of Revenue in the Ming Dynasty, we must take charge of our affairs. As for other matters, don’t get too involved.”

Bi Ziyan was a little crazy. This was not what he meant to ask about him. It was clearly a one-man show.

The key emperor understands the meaning of the emperor very clearly. Lao Bi, I will support you in the future to do this matter in the Ministry of Revenue. No matter how many oppositions I encounter, I will trust you unconditionally.

"Your Majesty, I want to give advice!"

Bi Ziyan shouted lightly, faced Emperor Chongzhen's gaze, bowed and said, "The case of Yuan Chonghuan cannot be handed over to the Jinyiwei to supervise it.

What the Jinyiwei is doing now is still placing a sign on the Meridian Gate’s heavy ground, Zhang Buna is falsely available…”

"Bi Qing, this seems to be not within your authority, right?"

Emperor Chongzhen's smile remained unabated, and he interrupted Bi Ziyan's words and said, "Okay, I understand what Bi Qing means, but Yuan Chonghuan's case cannot be supervised by the Three Justices!

There are many things involved here. Don’t think that the Jinyiwei Zhang Bu’s words were written by Yuan Chonghuan by coercion and inducement of Yuan Chonghuan or torture.

Bi Qing, you are my minister of the Ming Dynasty and my minister. It has nothing to do with Yuan Chonghuan, and I don’t want it. Bi Qing has too much involvement with Yuan Chonghuan.

OK, if nothing else, Bi Qing will step down first.

I'm going to Wenhua Palace.

Bi Qing thought about how to be a good family in this matter. I will leave it to Bi Qing for the sake of increasing revenue and reducing costs. I hope your family will not let me down.”

Emperor Chongzhen's words made Bi Ziyan feel very complicated, and an invisible pressure emerged deep in Bi Ziyan's heart.
