Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember in a second, never lose it!

In the Snapper, everyone suddenly lost their breath.

As if dead silence, people were silent.

Emperor Hongzhi's face suddenly lost all color.

Fifteen million taels... or taels, how many days have I saved, and I have only saved a few million taels... I... have I heard hallucinations?

Then, someone began to breathe, and the breathing was very heavy.

Wang Ao's face was bloodless, and he said sharply, "What is fifteen million taels, Marquis Shouning, don't talk nonsense, this is not a joke."

Zhang Heling felt that it was better to be honest.

"The gold, silver, jewelry and spices I brought back from the sea this time, conservative calculation, more than two thousand silver, in addition to paying customs duties, 20% is the goods of the imperial court. After doing business with people, the profits obtained must be paid to the imperial court. , and the rest, I... let people share them all."

This time, it is clear enough.

Wang Ao suddenly felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of old blood was about to spurt out.

"What about the abacus, what about the abacus."

Zhu Houzhao yelled.

"..." It's good that the prince didn't yell, but when he yelled, Wang Ao couldn't hold back after all, spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm with a slap.

Fang Jifan said: "No need to calculate, I am good at mental arithmetic, it is not easy, 30% is given to the imperial court, no, now it is given to the internal treasury, and the rest is divided, and the share is 1500 taels, then, Those who enter the inner treasury are more than six million taels of silver, your Majesty gets 80%, and the minister has 20%, so the minister gets more than one million taels, and the inner treasury gets about five million taels of silver."

Fang Jifan began to calculate quickly: "But the account can't be calculated in this way. For example, spices, although they are obtained, but because so many spices are imported at once, I am afraid that the price of the spices will drop, and they will definitely not be sold at the original price. , Therefore, on this basis, another 20 to 30% has to be reduced, roughly... Your Majesty still has four million, and my minister has one million."

call……

That 15 million taels, even if it is ignored.

Just talking about the remaining five or six million yuan, Ming's commercial tax is terribly low, and the income from silver is only around three million taels. The rest is mostly tax in kind, such as food, cloth, silk and so on.

In other words, after returning from this trip, what was handed over to the internal treasury alone was two years' annual income.

Emperor Hongzhi understood this account.

His heart... was bleeding.

The money is divided, this damn Shou Ninghou, why did he divide so much, he is so generous, he...he...

But immediately, Emperor Hongzhi was elated again.

earned?

Fang Jifan was really right, sailing to the West is a lucrative business.

After Emperor Hongzhi experienced a brief heartache, his eyes lit up immediately.

Get rich.

My internal money is full.

Build ships, build more ships, let more people go to sea, earn more money, and then build more and more boats, let more people go to sea...

Emperor Hongzhi was full of energy, and suddenly he was full of vigor, and his eyes were full of light.

This boy Jifan has good vision, and he is worthy of being my son-in-law who has been selected from all over the world, and he has no regrets to have such a son-in-law.

Fang Jifan is very happy, this is money picked up for nothing, but... How much did the Zhang family brothers earn? These two guys, being so stingy, must have hidden a lot of benefits, and they have to report to His Majesty later, and let the factory guard check it out Check, this is the money from the internal treasury. You two brothers dare to hide it privately. You are so bold that you can't be beaten to death.

...

Wang Ao was shocked.

He was a little dazed, feeling that he had no strength in his whole body, and his limbs were limp.

What does this mean.

Could this mean that he handed over millions of income to the palace.

The treasury... The treasury saved one million taels, and lost five or six million taels?

Suddenly, he felt his brain cramp.

Impossible, the old man doesn't believe it.

How can there be so much silver in the world, this silver, is there still somewhere to pick up. It's a trick, it must be a trick.

………

Liu Jian and the others all turned dark, and they all looked at Wang Ao at the same time.

The memorial was written by you, Wang Ao!

When Xu Jing saw that Shouning Hou mentioned this matter, he regained his composure, cheered up, and said, "Your Majesty, what Shou Ninghou said is true, I have a document for customs clearance here, and I have calculated the accounts. Your Majesty, please check. In addition, the silver rewards are really the hard work of the soldiers, if the soldiers did not use their lives, they would have almost died, I am afraid that the ministers and others would have been buried in the ocean, please be aware of it."

As he spoke, he handed over the account book to Xiao Jing, and Xiao Jing held the account book and put it on the imperial case.

Emperor Hongzhi's body was trembling, and he stretched out his hand to uncover a corner of the book. There were countless small characters in it, which made people feel headaches just looking at it, but... this book can be verified slowly by the inspector of ceremonies. Real gold and silver, just put in the internal money, that's fine.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "You don't need to read it, I trust Xu Qing's family."

…………

Wang Ao stared straight at the book, suddenly like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, his whole body was almost paralyzed.

He saw the eyes of Liu Jian and others, all of them looked at him.

There was sympathy in this look, and a bit of blame, as if to say, take a look, take a look, it is harming the country and the people.

one thought

After this, Wang Ao's eyes suddenly lost color.

This is... I will die in heaven, I will die in heaven!

Wang Ao could almost imagine what terrible situation he would face after he walked out of the warm pavilion. The world's number one fool? Or, colluded with the emperor and seized the silver that should belong to the treasury?

I, Wang Ao, will be famous for the rest of my life.

…………

Liu Jian felt that his brain was like a paste. The cabinet's chief assistant university scholar was in charge of the world's affairs, but all the world's affairs were asking for money.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, but the money flew away.

What's even more ridiculous is that... everyone rejoiced, and after discussing with His Majesty, everyone happily agreed.

The memorandum requesting domestic funds to pay for the expenses of the voyage, and the income from the voyages to be used as internal funds, was also jointly sent by everyone, which is an announcement to the world.

He closed his eyes, and heard Fang Jifan's quacking laughter, which was very ear-piercing.

Li Dongyang is concurrently serving as the Minister of the Household Department, and his mind is already spinning like an abacus.

In the end, he confirmed that it was a loss, and the loss was lost, and Wang Ao lost the country.

Ma Wensheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, finally gained confidence this time.

It is said that the Ministry of War spends money, and it is said that the Ministry of War is a waste of money and food. Prince, you are not wicked, you... have you colluded with the palace? . Oh, you are still the emperor's teacher, no matter how you look at it, it looks like you have played tricks on all the officials in the court.

Wang Ao decided to maintain his demeanor after a short period of loss of soul. With a stiff face, he looked at countless questioning and resentful eyes, and stood expressionless. It doesn't matter. Use your worst thoughts to guess the old man, this matter... this matter...

Fang Jifan got up at this time: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty."

With this congratulations, Wang Ao's heart, which had finally calmed down, was completely crushed like a broken one.

With a cry, Wang Ao's head sank, and he fell to the ground.

"My lord, my lord..." The eunuchs panicked.

All right, the prince was paralyzed.

Several eunuchs rushed forward.

Wang Ao looked blankly at the void.

Finally, someone helped Wang Ao up.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Call the imperial doctor."

"Your Majesty." Wang Ao finally came out of the fugue: "I... nothing, nothing." He was in a trance, but he kept his last demeanor without courtesy.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, but he still collected his mind and looked at Xu Jing: "I heard that the Qing family has arrived at the Golden Continent with a fleet."

"Exactly." Xu Jingdao: "The Golden Continent is indeed a treasure land. Your Majesty, the land there is extremely fertile, but the population is sparse. The growth of food is particularly gratifying. No wonder so many high-yielding crops in the world come from the Golden Continent." Even, this land is only barely reclaimed, sow a handful of seeds, and it can grow grain without careful cultivation. The ministers saw with their own eyes that the Franji people opened up a wheat field there, no need to take care of it, and the wheat The harvest is not below the average wheat field of Daming."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, his heart warmed up. He gasped, and suddenly felt regretful that the world is really such a magical place.

Xu Jing continued: "The Golden Island is fertile for thousands of miles, and the forests are lush. Even the trees are extraordinarily thick. I have seen a certain kind of tree that dozens of people can't hug. If it is in Daming, it can be called a sacred tree."

Emperor Hongzhi was even more surprised when he heard this.

You must know that the emperor often needs a lot of noble wood to build a palace, especially for the manufacture of palace pillars, he must use high-quality wood, and it needs to be extremely strong. A good wood may need to be found in the Yunnan-Guizhou area. , and then felled, processed, and transported to Beijing by countless people by water and land, but he had never heard of a sacred tree that dozens of people could not hold. It's not ten times better than Middle Earth.

Emperor Hongzhi was surprised and said: "I heard that the Great Ming occupies the middle land, with thousands of miles of fertile land, and it is a fertile land of the four seas. My Great Ming is a country in the center, and everything can be self-sufficient. But now, listening to what you said, isn't that true?" Golden Continent has far better products than Daming."

The country in the middle is so self-confident. Everyone thinks it is a stinky dick. This is the self-confidence accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years. Although this self-confidence is a bit inflated, to be honest, whoever occupies such a good A land that is a hundred times richer than other surrounding sub-civilizations will inevitably have the idea of ​​supremacy.

Even when Zheng He traveled to the Western Ocean, he experienced countless countries and got a clear understanding of their customs and customs, but still, Daming still looked down at the countries along the Western Ocean with a condescending attitude. Maybe you don't know how poor the little brothers in the West are.
