Ming Dynasty: Teaching The Prince Dragon-Slaying Skills At The Beginning

Chapter 685: Ru Taisu: Hey, Is This A Sudden Windfall For The Ministry Of Household Affairs? ! ! [Pl

More than 185.86 million kilograms of fine sea salt, and more than 128.64 million kilograms of salted fish meat!!!

All the civil and military officials present, except Tang He, the Duke of Xin who was responsible for garrisoning Haizhou City and commanding the navy last year, knew something about this in advance, so they were able to remain calm.

The other civil and military officials all had their eyes wide open at this moment, looking at Fan Bai standing in the front with dumbfounded expressions.

I want to make sure whether all of them heard it wrong, or whether Fan Bai made a mistake.

You know, the total annual salt output of the imperial court now totals more than 185.86 million kilograms.

As for the imperial court's total salted fish production per year, they are even more certain that the total production does not include one or two thousand eight hundred and sixty-four square hills.

However, now Fan Bai said that he has more than 185.86 million kilograms of fine sea salt and more than 128.64 million kilograms of salted fish meat, and he is willing to hand it over to the court for free!!!

If all this is true, then does his mother-in-law Fan Bai know how much wealth all these sea salt and salted fish add up to?!!

And he was actually willing to hand over such a fortune to the imperial court for free?!

This sounds unreal.

Yan Changqing, who was standing in front of the royal steps of the Alchemy Palace, seemed to know the doubts in the hearts of the civil and military officials below. He looked at the chamberlain who had just walked in with him.

The waiter immediately walked up to Yan Changqing, holding a wooden tray in both hands, and bowed to hand it over.

Yan Changqing then picked up a transparent glass jar filled with snow-white sea salt from the wooden tray, then opened the glass lid, stretched out his hand to twist a little, put it into his mouth and tasted the salty taste, then looked at the civil and military officials below and said :

“This is the sea salt produced and made in Haizhou City!!!”

Yan Changqing then opened another rectangular glass jar on the wooden pallet. As soon as he opened the lid, the Liubu Jiuqing and the Nine Grand Dukes who were closer to the front smelled the smell of salted fish.

Yan Changqing also looked at the civil and military officials and said:

"This is the salted fish produced and prepared in Haizhou City!!!"

"Everyone can give it a try!!!"

Having said that, the chamberlain immediately followed Yan Changqing's instructions, holding sea salt and salted fish, and walked towards the civil and military officials below.

Among them, standing in the first row, Ru Taisu, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, was the most anxious.

Before the waiter could reach him, he took two quick steps and walked to the waiter first. "At the tenth moment, he stretched out his fingers and twisted the sea salt in the transparent glass jar and put it into his mouth. Mid Grade layer.

After tasting the clear and delicate salty taste of sea salt, my whole body was shaken.

As for the salted fish, there is no need to taste it. The strong smell of salted fish can be smelled as long as the nose is not blocked.

While other civil and military officials were tasting the sea salt, Ru Taisu quickly began to make calculations in his mind:

[Due to the fact that merchants dominate the sales, the price of salt in different parts of the Ming Dynasty varies, but generally the official salt price is still around 50 cents per catty!!!]

[More than 185.86 million kilograms of sea salt, just think of it as 185.86 million craftsmen!!!]

[That is to say, if these 185.86 million kilograms of sea salt are sold, they can be exchanged for 9.293 million kilograms, which is 9.293 million kilograms. money!!!】

[This 185.86 million kilograms of sea salt alone is worth tens of millions of dollars in revenue!!!]

[In addition, there are more than 128.64 million kilograms of salted fish meat, just treat it as 128.64 million kilograms!!!]

[If I remember correctly, the salted fish my wife bought a few days ago seemed to be twenty-seven cents a pound!!!]

[This means that if 128.64 million kilograms of salted fish meat is sold, it can be exchanged for 3.47328 million yuan [that is, one hundred and forty-seven square meters]. One thousand two hundred and eight thousand dollars!!!]

[This means that all the sea salt and salted fish combined are worth 12,766,280 yuan!!!]

After coming to this conclusion, Ru Taisu stayed where he was.

You know, last year the fiscal revenue of Ming Dynasty was only about 40 million yuan.

The combined value of these sea salt and salted fish is almost equivalent to one-third of the Ming Dynasty’s fiscal revenue last year!!!

[If I heard correctly just now, Mr. Fan Bai is talking about the sea salt production base and salted fish meat production base in Haizhou City!!!]

[Every year, at least 185.86 million kilograms of fine sea salt and more than 128.64 million kilograms of salted fish meat can be produced!!!]

[And these two production bases of sea salt and salted fish meat were also handed over to the court for free!!!]

[Is that what Fan Bai just said?!!]

[If what is said is true, then doesn’t it mean that the imperial court’s estimated fiscal revenue can generate an additional 12,766,280 yuan out of thin air?!!]

[The estimated total fiscal revenue for next year will exceed 50 million yuan?!!]

[If there is this additional financial revenue of more than 10 million yuan as support, then it is not completely impossible to complete the "Ming Dynasty's First Five-Year Road Traffic Construction Plan" within two years as just mentioned by His Royal Highness the Prince!!]

[At least this 10 million yuan, if used to hire people to help build roads during the slack period, is probably enough!!!]

[However, if you want to completely abolish the corvee system for people all over the world and replace it with a work-for-service system, just relying on more than 10 million yuan is not enough!!!]

After calculating the value of the batch of sea salt and salted fish meat, Ru Taisu immediately began to calculate the possibility of completing the "Ming Dynasty's First Five Years Road Traffic Construction Plan" within two years.

And with that additional fiscal revenue of more than 10 million yuan per year in place, it is still very possible to complete the "Road and Traffic Construction Plan for the Tenth Five-Year Plan of the Ming Dynasty" within two years.

After all, the Ming Dynasty had no shortage of manpower needed to build roads.

Nowadays, if the Ming Dynasty does not count the elderly over sixty years old and children under ten years old, there are at least about 40 million ordinary women who can be hired to build roads.

With the combined efforts of 40 million people and women, what road cannot be completed within two years?!!

Even if it weren’t for the busy farming season, many people would still have to farm.

One year is enough time to build the two-way twelve-lane national and provincial roads, the two-way ten-lane prefectural and state roads, and the two-way eight-lane county road required by Prince Zhu Biao to connect all parts of the world. .

And there won't be any public complaints. After all, the court pays people to hire people, and the people can choose to come or not.

But how could ordinary people choose to refuse this kind of thing where they can earn some money and supplement their family income by helping to build roads during the slack period!!!

After all the civil and military officials below tasted the sea salt with one finger, Yan Changqing, who was standing in front of the steps of the Dan Palace, looked at the civil and military officials and said:

"If you don't believe what I just said about more than 185.86 million kilograms of fine sea salt and more than 128.64 million kilograms of salted fish meat."

"I can ask Saint Shennong, His Royal Highness King Zhou, and Duke Xin to be my guarantee!!!"

However, Saint Shennong is not in court now. After all, Yan Changqing is now wearing the identity vest of Fan Bai.

But Zhou Wang Zhu Ju and Xin Guogong Tang He are now in the court.

Standing on the imperial steps of the Dan Palace, Zhou Wang Zhu Zhu immediately took a step forward and said:

"I can use my identity and reputation as a fake prince to vouch for Fan Bai's family!!!"

"At this moment, there are more than 185.86 million kilograms of fine sea salt and more than 128.64 square meters of salted fish meat stored in Haizhou City!!!"

Tang He, the Duke of Xin, who was standing in the first row in front of all the civil and military officials, also took a step forward, raised his hands and said solemnly:

"I can also use the title of Duke of Xin to vouch for the Fan Bai family!!!"

Is it true that Haizhou City stores more than 185.86 million kilograms of fine sea salt and more than 128.64 million kilograms of salted fish meat? In fact, Xin Guogong Tanghe is not clearly.

Before the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Fang, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes went to Haizhou City, the only people who really knew the specific amount of sea salt and salted fish meat stored in Haizhou City were Zhou Wang Zhu Ju and Yan Changqing Just two people.

As for the others, including Xin Guogong Tanghe and the two little guys Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Jixi, the most they knew was that there was a lot of sea salt and salted fish in Haizhou City. The specific amount was unclear.

However, although Xin Guogong Tanghe did not know the specific amount of sea salt and salted fish meat stored in Haizhou City, he was not blind!!!

After all, I spent a year with Yan Changqing day and night in Haizhou City last year, and I still didn't recognize that the "Fan Baishi" in front of me was disguised by Yan Changqing.

As for the reason why Yan Changqing pretended to be "Fan Baishi", he didn't want to study this.

Sometimes, the more you know about something, the better.

He only needs to know that the "Fan Baishi" in front of him is Yan Changqing, and then he can stand up and support Yan Changqing together with Zhou Wang Zhu Ju, and be Yan Changqing's guarantee.

.......***..........

If Fan Bai, who appeared for the first time, said that there were more than 185.86 million kilograms of fine sea salt and more than 128.64 million kilograms of salted fish meat, this would sound shocking. Words that feel erratic and mysterious.

So as the current pretended prince, Zhou Wang Zhu Ji, and Xin Guogong Tang He, one of them used his identity and reputation as a guarantee, and the other used his dukedom as a guarantee.

In an instant, all the erratic thoughts, fantasies, and unreality suddenly fell into reality. All the civil and military officials present could not help but whisper in low voices.

Even all the civil and military officials present recalled an incident that happened last year.

If they remembered correctly, last year Zhou King Zhu Ju was ordered to go to the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty to observe the people's sentiments and appease the people.

The Duke of Xin, Tang He, also went to the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty to organize coastal people for military service, and led the navy to clear out pirates and Japanese pirates.

But now it seems obvious that the idea of ​​understanding people's sentiments, appeasing people's hearts, organizing coastal people to perform military service, and collecting pirates and Japanese pirates was a sham, or in other words, the real purpose was not all of these.

The real purpose should be for what we are talking about now, more than 185.86 million kilograms of fine sea salt and more than 128.64 million kilograms of salted fish meat!!!

At the same time, some officials who were quick-thinking lowered their heads and began to figure out the location of Haizhou City on the [Da Ming World Sand Table] map under the transparent glass at their feet.

In just a few breaths, officials had already found the specific location of Haizhou City.

0

Well, a state town really close to the sea.

There are even some Ministry of War officials with better memories, such as Minister of War Zhao Zhao

Ren, he still remembered that in the past few years, local officials in Haizhou City had submitted a memorial about the invasion of pirates and Japanese pirates.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ren, Minister of the Ministry of War, immediately stepped out of the queue, frowned, and looked at Xin Guogong Tang He with concern:

"Three years ago, the Ministry of War received a report from Haizhou City officials about the invasion of pirates and Japanese pirates!!!"

"May I ask how much of the navy Duke Xin Guo left in Haizhou City to guard against pirates and Japanese pirates before he returned to Beijing?!!"

"In addition, soldiers from the local health station in Haizhou City, as well as soldiers from the local health station in nearby state capitals, have they all been mobilized to the sea salt production base and salted fish meat production just mentioned?

The base is patrolled day and night?!!"

"At the moment, more than 185.86 million kilograms of fine sea salt and more than 128.64 million kilograms of salted fish meat are stored in Haizhou City. [Can it be stored in terms of safety?"

Heart?!!"

Hearing what Zhao Ren, the Minister of War, said, Ru Taisu, the Minister of Hubu, immediately stared at Tang He, Duke of Xin.

According to Ru Taisu, more than 185.86 million kilograms of fine sea salt and more than 128.64 million kilograms of salted fish meat are equivalent to the financial resources of the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

Estimated income.

With this sudden and surprising additional financial revenue, Ming Dynasty's financial pressure can be relieved a lot.

So he will never allow any omissions in this money!!!

Anyone who dares to use this money will dare to spend it to encourage the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office to send troops to die!!!

Upon hearing the inquiry from Zhao Ren, Minister of the Ministry of War, Xin Guogong Tang He looked confident and proud and said:

"Last year, I led 200,000 naval troops to clear out pirates and Japanese pirates. Before I returned to Beijing, I had not found any pirates or pirates for four months.

Japanese pirate ships!!!"

"Before returning to Beijing, I left 50,000 naval troops stationed along the coast of Haizhou City to ensure that no pirates or Japanese pirates can break through the blockade of the Ming Dynasty Navy!!!"

"In addition, I also mobilized soldiers from ten guard stations near the local state capital to station themselves in Haizhou City, especially the sea salt production base and the salted fish production base!!!"

"Unless there are thieves who can overthrow the 100,000 troops on the sea and land combined, I can guarantee that no pirates or pirates will be able to defeat those sea salt and salted fish."

Meat idea!!!”

After hearing the answer from Tang He, the Duke of Xin, all the civil and military officials, especially Ru Taisu, the Minister of Household Affairs, were relieved.

There are 50,000 navy and 50,000 army to protect those sea salt and salted fish meat, more than 185.86 million kilograms of fine sea salt, and more than 128.64 million kilograms of fine sea salt.

The safety of salted fish meat is not a big problem.
