Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

"Okay, okay, stop boasting."

"You've spit on our portrait!"

"Can you be calmer?"

Li Chen, who was sitting on the chair, looked at the excited Zhu Youjian and waved his hands in disgust.

They all told you to be calm!

You want to be able to keep your face calm even if Mount Tai is blown up.

There is no city government at all.

"It's okay, it's all because my family saw it. It's not a shame."

"Be good...this is just a fine."

"How much money does Taizu think they can bring in?"

"I can't even think about it."

Zhu Youjian didn't care at all.

He clapped his fingers and looked like he didn't dare to continue counting.

Excluding fines, the salt and quota transaction is the big deal!

"Your Majesty, they will definitely do their best."

"After all, it's a sure-profit business."

"Shioyin alone can collect another 4000 million in cash."

"As for cooperation...it is estimated that each family will receive no less than [-] million."

"Of course, they will definitely run out of money in a short time after collecting this money."

"You have to wait until the salt is sold before you can generate profits."

Zhu Yujian saw Zhu Youjian looking like he was about to laugh out loud, so he couldn't help but stimulate him again.

And after saying this, Zhu Youjian took another breath as expected.

The fine is 500 million yuan, the salt quota is 4000 million yuan, plus an average quota of 1000 million yuan per family.

That’s twenty-three-five million taels!

hiss!

Zhu Youjian covered his chest and was dumbfounded!

Was I originally so rich in the Ming Dynasty?

"Taizu, is this true?"

"My Ming Dynasty really has so much money?"

"This..."

Zhu Youjian stayed for a long time, and finally looked at Taizu in disbelief.

You know, when he first came to the throne.

The annual tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty was only 500 million taels.

And now...

Can these thirteen salt merchants alone make so much money?

How rich must the entire Ming Dynasty be!

"Oh, don't be surprised."

"The Ming Dynasty is much richer than you think."

"Let me tell you, according to our estimates, Ming's annual tax potential should be around 5000 million taels."

"Don't think it's an exaggeration."

"Although it was the late Ming Dynasty at this time, in rural areas there were already many houses with multiple floors, and there were no houses without floors. One room could be as large as two or three rooms, but there was still no room for space."

"As early as the Jiajing period, buildings in Ganzhou City in the peripheral areas had two or three floors."

"What does this mean? It means that the rate of urbanization in the Ming Dynasty was very high!"

"Let's put it this way, right now, in the Chongzhen Year, the urbanization rate of the Ming Dynasty has reached 40.00%. You must know that 200 years later, the most powerful empire in the West will barely reach this number."

"Except for this, private iron production in the Ming Dynasty reached 20 tons, and the empire on which the sun never sets 200 years later only produced [-] tons."

"There are many silk machines in Lu'an Prefecture in Shanxi alone, and during the Daoguang period when the development of the Qing Dynasty was at its peak, there were only a few silk machines in Suzhou."

"So it is not a rumor that those outside barbarians say that everyone in the Ming Dynasty wears silk."

Li Chen crossed his legs and spoke out the data item by item with a smile.

The Ming Dynasty is not poor. The only one who is poor is you, the emperor.

Otherwise, why would later generations dislike Mite Qing so much?

With the development speed of the Ming Dynasty, if it continues normally, it will definitely be a beacon for the world!

Seeing that Zhu Youjian was still a little stunned, Li Chen put his hands behind his back and continued.

"Let's talk about money. Do you think the Ming Dynasty had no money?"

"joke."

"In the 70 years from the early Ming Dynasty to Wanli, the amount of silver flowing into the Ming Dynasty from overseas was about 700 million taels, with an average of [-] million taels per year."

"It took nearly 300 years for Qianqing to earn so much from overseas."

"This is just overseas. If the wealth accumulated by previous generations of imperial courts among the people is included, the amount of silver in the Ming Dynasty will be close to 15 taels."

"Now you can understand why we have to collect this business tax."

"Not to mention the snowflake salt. Under normal circumstances, the salt tax of the Ming Dynasty should be 4000 million taels per year, the revenue from tea should be at least 2000 million taels, and the income from wine should be 3000 million taels."

"The tax deed is 300 million a year, the municipal shipping tax is 1000 million a year, and the business tax is a minimum of 1000 million."

"There is also a large amount of agricultural tax."

"Your brother, Emperor Tianqi, has a man named Dong Yingju who started a farm by buying land."

"Although the scale is relatively small, it can be estimated."

"If it could be extended to the whole world, the 18 acres of farmland in the Ming Dynasty would be [-]% for the people and [-]% for taxes."

"The grain obtained from this piece of food alone can be converted into silver equivalent to nearly [-] taels."

"Of course, this method failed to be promoted in the end, but it is what we will do later."

"So although the Ming Dynasty was a mess, it was also a mess made of gold and silver."

"As long as it's straightened out, no bullshit drought can bring such a wealthy empire to ruin."

"To put it bluntly, you, the emperor, are really holding a golden bowl and begging for food."

"As for the Houjin Tatar...the Ming Dynasty could use money to throw him to death!"

"If you want to compete with the Ming Dynasty, is he worthy?"

Li Chen became more and more excited as he talked!

I couldn't help but stand up and wave my arms.

The more you understand the Ming Dynasty, the more you will realize what kind of vitality lies behind the decay of the Ming Dynasty!

money!

people!

粮！

Want whatever you want!

It can only be said that the old Zhu family does not know how to manage money.

Even the Song Dynasty could get so much money, how could the Ming Dynasty be weak?

It can be seen from these thirteen salt merchants that all the wealth in the world may have gone into the pockets of the merchants.

And now what Li Chen has to do is to open their money bags and let the money circulate completely!

"Begging with a golden bowl in hand..."

"It turns out...the Ming Dynasty was actually so rich..."

"I..."

After Zhu Youjian silently listened to what Taizu said, he sat on the chair stupidly.

He really didn't expect that the mess in his hands had such great potential.

money...

It turns out that the Ming Dynasty has never been short of it!

"Your Majesty, Taizu is indeed right."

"To be honest, I have more than 3000 million taels of silver in Prince Tang's palace alone."

"To put it bluntly, all the princes of the Zhu family can make tens of millions of taels of silver."

Zhu Yujian next to him also interjected with some emotion at this time.

He was not surprised at all.

After all, as a prince, he knew very well how much cash there was in Prince Tang's palace.

Naturally, we know how rich those businessmen can be!

The Ming Dynasty was never short of money, but all the money was buried in the ground.

"Huh...that's how it is..."

"Hahaha! That's true!"

"Okay! It's good to have money!"

"Daban! Go! Increase Huang Taiji's reward to 30 taels!"

"Damn it, I'm going to be a rich man today too!"

Zhu Youjian clenched his fist for a long time before letting out a breath.

Then he stood up and shouted something loudly towards Wang Chengen!

Oh shit!

Since you have money, why bother with a hammer?

Damn Huang Taiji, if 30 is not enough, 50 is enough. I want to see how long you can live!

(I was shocked when I found this data. The Ming Dynasty was really rich!)

(It’s just a pity that all this money is controlled by businessmen.)

(Also, Mite Qing really pulls the crotch!)
