Chapter 167: Turnaround Point

Faced with a large number of impeachment memorials, Ye Xianggao was as stable as Mount Tai, unmoved at all, and did not restrain himself at all. Instead, he investigated the situation more and more severely and did not give any favors.&1t;/p>

He knew that the emperor wanted a real rectification effect. If the impeachment was useful, then the emperor's Donglin Party imposed more memorials than it is now, and it still doesn't work.&1t;/p>

Ye Xianggao, who once climbed to the top of bureaucracy, naturally stood high and looked far, and his vision was naturally not so narrow. Now Ye Xianggao is like a gambler with nothing, and can only hold Zhu Youxiao's thigh tightly, otherwise there would be no hope. So he doesn't care about how others impeach, but only cares about the emperor's opinion of him.&1t;/p>

It is obvious that Ye Xianggao has taken the right action. The memorials that impeached him are like mud bulls entering the sea and are nowhere to be seen. Zhu Youxiao naturally saw Ye Xianggao's efforts to rectify the canal transportation yamen so hard, so he was very satisfied.&1t;/p>

"It seems that these criminals are more useful! Some positions are easier to use than eunuchs." Zhu Youxiao seemed to have found a treasure.&1t;/p>

When the eunuchs were sent out, those eunuchs with upright personalities were also very reliable. But no matter how reliable they were, these eunuchs had a bad reputation.&1t;/p>

Why?&1t;/p>

It’s because they are eunuchs and have no eggs. No matter how well they do, they are all villains in public opinion. And it’s difficult to get into the civil service group, after all, the circles are different.&1t;/p>

Ye Xianggao and other criminals are different. Although they have bad reputations, they are also villains. They are back on the hat of a corrupt official, but they are people in the civil service system! This identity is more convenient than eunuchs. And unlike eunuchs, they will easily bring out a lot of hatred for the emperor.&1t;/p>

This mad dog is so easy to use.&1t;/p>

However, mad dogs still have to be controlled well, don't be bitten by mad dogs. Although this possibility is very low, there is still a possibility.&1t;/p>

Not everyone can become a mad dog like Ye Xianggao. Ye Xianggao is a reliable guy who does things. He was able to cope with government affairs when he was a cabinet assistant. It was just that the issue of the interests camp was still a bureaucrat who represented the interests of merchants and landlords.&1t;/p>

If it were an official who could not support the wall and had no ability, Zhu Youxiao would not dare to do this at all. The mad dog was released, and the rhythm was a mess. He had no skills and no method, and he would only confuse the water below.&1t;/p>

Ye Xianggao wants to be this mad dog, and he can clearly grasp the angle and strength of his mouth. He will not make the lower heavier in order to rush to show his performance.&1t;/p>

The master emperors knocked this mad dog to death with one stick, were the Tongzhou merchants who supported the Donglin Party most before, and some factory owners in southern Jiangsu. The ones who came forward were the remaining Donglin Party officials. I don’t know what Ye Xianggao felt. Obviously, the Donglin Party no longer has Ye Xianggao’s place.&1t;/p>

Ye Xianggao either walked one road to the darkness and then persisted until the dawn. Or he could only end up tragic.&1t;/p>

"The cabin transportation has been well rectified. The cabinet has prepared for it. I want to conduct a comprehensive inspection of smuggling. Whether it is private salt or import and export of northern Zhili, or smuggling of smuggling, all of them must be arrested." Zhu You proofreader Shen Qing ordered.&1t;/p>

"Yes, the emperor." Chen Yan responded quickly. This was obviously a chore. But there was no way! The boss made requests and indicators, and the troubles were naturally left to the ministers, so he could only find a way to do it. Only when he did it well could he gain the favor of the big boss. It was a test and an opportunity.&1t;/p>

"Your Majesty, this year's military pay for the Beijing Transportation must be out. The finances of Taicangku..." Chen Yan had to come to the door and personally asked Zhu Youxiao about the finances.&1t;/p>

The original plan was to impose taxes on other provinces, especially southern provinces, and reduce the burden on northern provinces.&1t;/p>

As a result, Zhu Youxiao suddenly changed his plan. Tax revenue in the north was still reduced, but the reform plan for levied commercial tax in the south was no longer implemented.&1t;/p>

After several months of expenditure in Taicang, it is already cleaner than dog licking. Nowadays, the income of Taicang is basically an agricultural tax and a salt tax.&1t;/p>

The biggest funder now is probably the Royal Bank, which holds the power of coins. It has become a terrifying source of finance.&1t;/p>

"I know, the money is sent from the treasury." Zhu Youxiao was simply not able to distinguish between his own small treasury and the treasury at this time. The country is over, and the emperor must not have escaped. The small treasury can only be used as the treasury, and there is nothing to be upset about.&1t;/p>

"The treasury is still 1.6 billion yuan. In terms of military pay this year, Sun Aiqing, you can take out a plan and you can pay more military pay appropriately." Zhu Youxiao turned to Sun Chuanting and said.&1t;/p>

"Yes, the emperor. I think, to summarize the situation in Liaodong last year, we have roughly stabilized the defense line of Guangning and Liaohe River. The current strategy is still mainly based on defense constraints, so the military pay in Liaodong Town needs to be increased to 70,000 yuan this year. However, the military spending in Dongjiang Town needs to be 350,000 yuan, Jinzhou Town needs to continue to strengthen its troops, and the military spending is 20,000 yuan. The military pay in the remaining border troops will be increased to 30,000 yuan, and the training of the Beijing camp will require about 350,000 yuan, totaling 20,000 yuan."&1t;/p>

"Well! Keep the military expenditure!" Zhu Youxiao's eyes didn't blink, but his heart hurt. But military expenditure is a necessary expense!&1t;/p>

Although the treasury is not enough, the money is not something that needs to be continued in one breath. You can get one or two per month, and the finances are still relatively sufficient.&1t;/p>

After all, it is only the fourth month of the lunar calendar, and there are still eight months left.&1t;/p>

With the current fiscal growth, there will be at least 30 million yuan in the next eight months. The key is how to use this fiscal budget of 30 million yuan.&1t;/p>

There is no fiscal budget, this account is a bit difficult to calculate, and there is no specific plan to develop it.&1t;/p>

The fiscal budget of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be the most unconscious of all dynasties. When you have money, you will leave silver and food moldy. When you have no money, you can only sting it to death.&1t;/p>

In other words, the only thing that can be budgeted is that little tax. The savings are accumulated into a lot, and some projects are left over, such as the tea and horse trade.&1t;/p>

Nowadays, the income from the tea and horse trade has been eroded by private smuggling merchants, and the treasury of tens of millions of taels of silver in Guanglu Temple has long been gone.&1t;/p>

"The cabinet will make a fiscal budget! Give you a budget of 20 million yuan." Zhu Youxiao said, the budget that can be roughly 300,000 yuan, and at the same time, Taicang has agricultural tax, which can be about 50,000 yuan. In other words, the treasury gives the cabinet 150,000 yuan. The remaining 150,000 yuan is enough, so keep it for other things.&1t;/p>

The drought and flood guarantee project obviously costs money, and the 1.5 billion yuan is obviously not enough to do other things.&1t;/p>

"I obey the order." Chen Yan took the order and went back to make the budget.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao quickly submitted a budget plan, first of all, the policy of maintaining high salaries and maintaining integrity, and this year it will continue to expand its coverage, with an estimated expenditure of 50,000 yuan.&1t;/p>

This is almost half of the fiscal revenue of the imperial court in the past. However, the current administration is in the reform period, so it is still necessary to maintain a high salary and maintain a cleanliness.&1t;/p>

While maintaining integrity with high salaries, the anti-corruption campaign of factories and guards will naturally be fully launched. Instead, a part of the expenditure in this area can be compensated by searching corrupt officials.&1t;/p>

At the same time, it took out 50,000 yuan to prepare for disaster relief, which is definitely a big deal.&1t;/p>

The remaining 10,000 yuan will be left to cover the military expenditure. Although the military expenditure is out, once the war begins, there will be losses. The pensions, rewards, and consumption of combat materials are all required to support a large amount of financial support.&1t;/p>

In the end, 20,000 yuan will be taken out to deal with other messy expenses.&1t;/p>

This fiscal budget is absolutely simple and crude.&1t;/p>

It is obviously at this level that the cabinet is relatively passive in administration. But obviously this is the only way to do it at present. Zhu Youxiao immediately approved the budget.&1t;/p>

All the large fiscal expenditures in the second year of the Apocalypse are included.&1t;/p>

In summary, it is nothing more than three aspects: administrative costs, military expenses, and disaster relief. Overall, stability is the main focus.&1t;/p>

As long as the military rises, no matter how chaotic this chaotic world is, it will always lead to a bloody path. This is the greatest cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty. After all, if there are few people, the contradictions will naturally be lighter. But in the worst case, it is best not to bleed. Although there are many people, they can also generate huge demographic dividends.&1t;/p>

The increase in administrative costs is mainly to cooperate with anti-corruption. As long as anti-corruption can achieve certain results, at least not to be explicit, the country can be stable.&1t;/p>

A larger disaster relief budget is also to maintain stability.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao and the cabinet are striving to have a stable national environment at this time. As long as the overall stability is achieved, the reform of Beizhili will become the biggest turnaround point.&1t;/p>

So the next step is to manage the overturned-up point of Beizhili well.&1t;/p>

If Beizhili wants to develop, it is naturally inseparable from business and commerce. However, agriculture is the cornerstone of industry. People cannot eat enough, so what else can they talk about developing industry?&1t;/p>

Later Russians and Japanese devils had tricks. One sacrificed light industry and the other tightened the belt. However, these models did not have enough conditions in the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

Agriculture must be ensured first, and there were frequent natural disasters in the late Ming Dynasty, so it is extremely important to maintain a stable harvest in drought and flood.&1t;/p>

The treasury budget is 1.50 million yuan, and all of it has been invested in the construction of the drought and flood guarantee project. This construction can obviously drive a large number of workers to find employment.&1t;/p>

In addition to digging wells, we also need to purchase agricultural tools such as water trucks. At the same time, when building water conservancy projects, although Huangzhuang has a lot of free labor, it also requires a large amount of bricks and stones, which require money to purchase.&1t;/p>

The official infrastructure project in Beizhili at this time was road construction and flood-saving projects, involving 250,000 yuan in funds, which was simply adding fire to the economy of Beizhili and creating a large number of jobs.&1t;/p>

Merchants that have made money have also begun to increase various business investments. Royal Capital's investment is also continuing.&1t;/p>

Almost everywhere there are construction sites and construction is being built everywhere. The merchants are so happy. Various kiln factories are working overtime to make turntables, tiles and quarries are also extremely busy. A large number of carriages keep passing through the road, which is a thriving scene.&1t;/p>

Now the merchants in Beizhili stopped making trouble. While the tax bureau fully imposed commercial tax, their turnover continued to rise, and they made great money. Only those who sell luxury goods, after the "Beizhili Work Injury Management Regulations", the tax rate made them want to vomit blood. (To be continued.)&1t;/p>
