The emperor became a capitalist, and many problems were solved. In the ninth year of the revelation, state-owned capital continued to digest the northern market. Now all northern provinces have been included in the scope of reform. Not to mention the commercial interests of state-owned capital, government fiscal and tax revenues are rushing up wildly.&1t;/p>

In the past, the privileged class who were exempted from taxes paid taxes, and merchants also paid taxes in full. Although the northern market did not have the prosperity of the southern market, after years of development, economic stimulus and other means, the northern market is now prosperous than the southern market. The more business reaches, the higher the taxes.&1t;/p>

Under such reforms, the court's finances have become more and more abundant. In recent years, Zhu Youzhaibao has also saved money. The court's fiscal deficit has been completely eliminated, and there is still a surplus every year.&1t;/p>

"Your Majesty, the money from the treasury this year has not been spent." Queen Zhang Yan was a little worried recently, where should the money from the treasury be spent.&1t;/p>

Now Zhu Youxiao handed over the phone bills in the palace to the queen to take care of. He didn't know much about how much money the treasury had. He asked: "How much money is left in the treasury and hasn't been spent?"&1t;/p>

"There was only one million left last year, and at the end of last year, the bank divided another five million." Zhang Yan said helplessly: "So much money can be spent! There are not so many places in the palace that spend money, and donations from various places can't spend so much money."&1t;/p>

"The dividends are a bit too much. Since I can't spend it all, I'll take some money to build a library, and it's good for museums." Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said that after the nationalization of the royal consortium, the royal family still retained 5% of the shares. Last year's profit actually reached about 20 million yuan, but 150,000 yuan of them continued to be used for consortium investment, with only 50,000 yuan of dividends.&1t;/p>

This is Zhu Youxiao’s private money, how to spend it depends on your preference.&1t;/p>

"Library? Museum?" the queen asked strangely: "Is the library a library?"&1t;/p>

"Yes, it's a library, but this library can be opened to the public. As long as the people of the Ming Dynasty can go in and read books for free, they can also apply for a book loan certificate and take the books back to read. The most important thing is that now our Ming Dynasty also needs to build a relatively large library. Copy a few copies of various books such as the same as the ones to prevent some ancient books from being lost." Zhu You proofread the queen and explained, "The other museum is to collect various cultural relics and antiques, allowing the people to buy tickets to visit."&1t;/p>

"If the money is still not spent, you can build another Royal Theatre, or invest the money at Royal University to build education." Zhu Youxiao said.&1t;/p>

"I understand." Zhang Yan was very inspired and immediately knew how to spend the money.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao is still very cautious when it comes to spending money. You cannot be extravagant in personal enjoyment, as long as it is not shabby.&1t;/p>

The endless money spent on building libraries, museums, theaters and schools is a matter of success.&1t;/p>

Never learn from Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty. Building a cemetery for him would cost half of the country's fiscal revenue. He would indulge in personal enjoyment all day long and build a pear garden. Although it was an exhibition of art, it was too much. As a result, An Lushan came out, and the whole country was completely ruined.&1t;/p>

Now the national finance and personal expenses of the Ming Dynasty have been completely separated. It is no longer a confusing account that will not be able to calculate clearly when you first ascend the throne.&1t;/p>

The state's fiscal revenue is taken from the civilians and used by the people. The royal family can no longer touch the treasury.&1t;/p>

Of course, the emperor still needs to have income, otherwise he will be unable to get the money from donating money, which would be too shabby.&1t;/p>

The dividends of 5% of the shares of the state-owned capital consortium have become very terrifying. In the past two years, the consortium's capital has grown rapidly and its income has continued to increase, so that at this time, Zhu Youxiao's treasury was too much money to know how to spend it.&1t;/p>

Soon after, the construction projects of the Royal Library and the Royal Museum were determined and the construction was funded by the royal treasury. The first year was invested 30,000 yuan.&1t;/p>

The construction projects of the Royal Library and the Royal Museum have received support from court officials, and each one is extremely active, donating books and cultural relics.&1t;/p>

The folk customs of the Ming Dynasty were very strong, and there were library buildings everywhere. However, because they were privately owned, they were not completely open to the public.&1t;/p>

In fact, this is the national reign of the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years. Those cultured groups have tasted the sweetness and fully realized the importance of culture. Naturally, they pay great attention to the cultural heritage and education. But one problem has also emerged, that is, the cultural monopoly is relatively serious.&1t;/p>

Especially Chinese culture and elite culture. The education received by ordinary poor children is incomparable to that of rich children. The imbalance of resources makes it difficult for poor children to make a comeback unless they work hard and have a certain talent.&1t;/p>

The Royal Library is an open library, and anyone who is a native of the Ming Dynasty can enter it to read books. The first is that the place must be large. Zhu Youxiao directly built the library and museum in Wanggong Factory, which has a large territory. Just as these projects have also completed the post-disaster reconstruction.&1t;/p>

The Royal Library has a large area and a huge collection of books. It also stores books in categories and stores all kinds of books. It has all kinds of books, such as literature, agriculture, military, novels, the Four Books and Five Classics, and a hundred classics. There are also many isolated books printed, and the collection activities of books will continue.&1t;/p>

Books published on the market, as long as they are valuable, they will be collected.&1t;/p>

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao ordered the compilation of the "Encyclopedia of Apocalypse" to classify and summarize everything, which would be a relatively huge project.&1t;/p>

But who made the emperor rich, and there were still people.&1t;/p>

As for museums, there are more things that can be placed. In the Ming Dynasty, there were no cultural relics outflows, and there were too many cultural relics in the country.&1t;/p>

Those who can enter the Royal Museum are either antiques that represent the appearance of a certain era or cultural relics with extremely high artistic value. Just by searching homes, many top cultural relics were obtained, not to mention that there are many cultural relics in the palace.&1t;/p>

In addition to the emperor sending cultural relics to the museum, the courtiers and the red-topped merchants from the state-owned capital consortium were donating cultural relics to the museum.&1t;/p>

In the ninth year of the Apocalypse, the establishment of the Royal Library and the Royal Museum was of great significance to the Ming Dynasty. The Royal Library became an official collection of books and guaranteed cultural heritage. As long as it is an isolated book and some ancient books, it will be backed up to avoid being destroyed due to war and fire.&1t;/p>

At the same time, many books were sorted out and the revision of the Encyclopedia of Apocalypse was a major project, with as many as tens of thousands of literati participating in it.&1t;/p>

This series of policies is to organize and display cultural resources.&1t;/p>

The museum has become a place that records the exhibition of civilization and history. However, Zhu Youxiao will not place cultural relics from other countries in the museum, which is a show-off. It is enough to plunder overseas cultural relics and collect them privately. It is not very moral to put them out openly.&1t;/p>

In this world, Yin and Yang coexist, and some people do good things. There must be some people do bad things, which is inevitable. But this world is "Yang masters and Yin obedience". If a person is afraid of being known by others when he does bad things, then the nature is not too bad. If a person does bad things openly and upright, the nature is very bad.&1t;/p>

Just like corruption, you can secretly greed for some money and be able to calculate your ability. But openly corruption is very bad.&1t;/p>

It is a very unethical act to steal other people's cultural relics and show them openly. As a civilized country, the Ming Dynasty can sometimes do bad things, but cannot do them openly.&1t;/p>

Not long after, another Royal Theater was established. This theater each took its strengths, and it was always here in both the local and the West. The Portuguese sold many instruments from the Ming Dynasty. It soon appeared in the Royal Theater. The Royal Theater didn't cost much, but it cost a little money to build. At the same time, it spent some money to support people, but the royal family also raised some artists with specialty in musical instruments.&1t;/p>

All artists like opera, look at the market.&1t;/p>

The establishment of the Royal Theater was a semi-market model, which attracted audiences to buy tickets to watch and stayed, and artists who could not make it through, and there was no public job for them to eat. Usually, artists who could enter the Royal Theater had some fame.&1t;/p>

The Royal Theater became popular under this business philosophy as soon as it was established. The Royal Theater's facilities are the most grand and full of artistic atmosphere. Moreover, famous artists from various provinces were invited to perform, and there were also various musical performances. The Royal Theater soon became a hall representing the peak of art in the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

Such an effect is nothing more than integrating excellent resources. And those famous artists also like to perform at the Royal Theatre. The Royal Theatre not only gives high rewards, but also represents an official recognition. Having been on the stage of the Royal Theatre is equivalent to performing for the Emperor.&1t;/p>

Although Zhu Youxiao only occasionally takes the queen and concubines out of the palace to watch performances, and does not go every day. But this doesn't matter. As long as you go on this stage, the appearance price of those artists will immediately rise.&1t;/p>

So many artists from all provinces who received the invitation rushed to the capital to perform at the Royal Theater.&1t;/p>

Many artists took root in the capital after they came to the capital. It is not an exaggeration to call it gold everywhere in the capital at this time. This is not only the political center of the Ming Dynasty, but also the base camp of the current state-owned capital consortium, and it also plays the role of the economic center.&1t;/p>

Although the northern products are not as rich as the south, with the continuous expansion and overseas colonial activities, the products sent back are also extremely rich.&1t;/p>

Here are the powerful and wealthy businessmen everywhere. And here is the foot of the emperor, no powerful and powerful dare to do whatever they want here. Especially after some reforms, the administrative efficiency here is high and more humane.&1t;/p>

At this time, the capital city had an economic foundation for displaying arts. It had a large enough consumer group. If life was better, it would naturally be enjoyable and could support these artists from all over the world.&1t;/p>

Especially in places where there are many powerful people, many people have free time! They have plenty of time to watch operas and listen to music, and in some places where they are very wealthy but busy, the living soil of these artists is not that strong.&1t;/p>

Most of the Yangzhou artists who had previously performed operas for those salt merchants came to the capital at this time. The salt merchants in Yangzhou have declined, and they don’t have the economic foundation, and there are not so many idle people to support them. However, Zhu You is not obsessed with proofreading operas. He usually watches some, but he prefers to listen to pure music.&1t;/p>

With the efforts of the musicians, various local, Western and ethnic minority instruments have been combined and played many tricks. A piece of music is played in conjunction with different instruments, which has a lot of freshness.&1t;/p>

Under the rule of Zhu Youxiao, the entire capital was already a scene of singing and dancing, and the shadow of war had subsided in the north.&1t;/p>

As long as the south does not reform, there will obviously be no war. Once the south has war, it will definitely be due to reform.&1t;/p>

On the contrary, there is a high possibility of a war breaking out in the southwest region. After all, there were not so many Han people in this era. Because they had not experienced the chaos in the late Ming Dynasty, they were not as good as Han people who ran to the southwest because of war.&1t;/p>

There are too many chieftains in the southwest and the number of Han people is insufficient. It is not so easy to change land and return to flow in the southwest. Now the conditions for the Ming Dynasty to change land and return to flow in the southwest are not as good as those in the Qing Dynasty.&1t;/p>

However, there is no rebellion in the southwest for the time being. Although there are still natural disasters, the whole world is still peaceful.&1t;/p>

Such peace in the world is based on external expansion and plunder of foreign trade. At the end of the ninth year of the Apocalypse, a merchant fleet set sail in Jiaozhou Bay. The fleet headed eastward to Honolulu and the west coast of the Americas. The fleet has more than 30 merchant ships, full of personnel and cargo. One month later, more than 50 merchant ships set sail for America. These merchant ships continued to sail to America, opening the prelude to the opening of America, and officially opening the American trade route.&1t;/p>

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had already owned more than 4,000 ocean-going merchant ships, which brought back a large amount of wealth and resources to the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

But for the Ming Dynasty at this time, there were still too few ships.&1t;/p>

During the process of foreign trade in the Ming Dynasty, it was not the essential purpose of completely pursuing more precious metals. The precious metals that plunder the world needed to be continuously carried out, but what the Ming Dynasty needed was various resources, such as grain and various industrial raw materials. As the overseas opening continued to deepen, in order to transport these commodities, more and more merchant ships were needed.&1t;/p>

Most merchant ships are actually transported in Northeast Asia, Indochina Peninsula, Nanyang, Australia, and the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty, transporting increasingly large commodities.&1t;/p>

At this time, the imperial court no longer used corvee service to transport grain on the Grand Canal. The rice required by northern provinces was transported directly from Taiwan, Indochina Peninsula and Nanyang to northern ports, with the efficiency exceeding the river transport and the cost was reduced many times.

The crisis of the Ming Dynasty had been revitalized by Zhu Youxiao. At the end of the year, after the court's fiscal revenue for the whole year was fully counted, it reached an astonishing 620 million yuan. The fiscal revenue perfectly made a comeback, and it began to show a situation of crushing the southern chaebols.&1t;/p>

The two kings of the Ming Dynasty are about to decide the winner.&1t;/p>

Those Jiangnan capitals that extended their tentacles to politics are simply not as good as the growth of the court's fiscal growth and the growth of state-owned capital.&1t;/p>

Under the multi-faceted encirclement of the imperial court, the power of the large capital merchants in the Ming Dynasty had been curbed of the space for capital growth, while state-owned capital was growing rapidly.&1t;/p>

The biggest secret to the northern economy can develop so quickly is to use paper money to avoid the phenomenon of currency tightening. What kills production is often not inflation, but deflation. The skyrocketing grain prices during natural disasters often lead to severe deflation in the affected areas. After the natural disaster, everyone has no money, and the unscrupulous merchants do not spend money, which leads to a large amount of unemployment. As a result, the surging land annexation and directly falls into a vicious cycle. In the ninth year of the Apocalypse, the northern market generated slight inflation under the large number of paper money, which is very good for the economy.&1t;/p>

With more money, the increase in commodity production scale will increase, and the currency will still be valuable. With more money, tax revenue will naturally grow rapidly.&1t;/p>

The rapid rise in fiscal revenue is actually driven by reform. As northern provinces fully incorporate reforms, tax growth will slow down in the next few years.&1t;/p>
