Ming Dynasty: Cured The Emperor's Grandson At The Beginning, And Relied On Science And Engineer

Chapter 729: Seize The Time To Raise Money And Food!

"Well!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, and then said:

"Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, since there is no money in the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue."

"Then let's postpone the construction of new river channels and fill up this hole first."

"I obey the order!" Liu Yushi said quickly.

"In addition, where is the tax and grain from the Ministry of Household Affairs?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Hubu said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Hubu now has no tax and grain.

"There is no tax and grain? Why?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

The Minister of Hubu smiled bitterly and said: "The money and food of the Hubu were all used up the year before last."

"This year's autumn tax, the Ministry of Household Affairs has allocated a lot."

“All the remaining 593 were donated to the provincial and state capitals.”

"And now the provinces and state governments simply don't have the money to buy food."

"It can only be transported from Gyeonggi Province, but food prices have skyrocketed. Food prices in various places have increased five times."

"Therefore, transporting grain to the capital requires a lot of military spending. The Ministry of Household Affairs does not have money and grain, so it cannot support military spending."

"That's it." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said:

"Forget it, the country is in great difficulty during this period, and there is no food in the granaries of each province!"

"Don't make things difficult for your household department anymore."

"I will allocate funds to the Ministry of Household Affairs from other aspects, you just need to take the time to raise money and food.

"Your Majesty is merciful!" everyone said in unison.

"Retreat!" Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.

"Farewell to Your Majesty!" Everyone bowed.

After Zhu Yuanzhang left, Geng Bu Yong immediately approached the Minister of War and whispered:

"Brother, let's join forces and make some money, shall we?"

"You're not talking nonsense, I think so too, but where can I get the money?"

The Minister of War rolled his eyes.

"You are stupid! The Ministry of Household Affairs has no money, so we can go to the prefectures and counties to collect taxes!"

The Minister of Civil Affairs said: "There is no food in these places. I will definitely pay for the food. I have someone who is willing to give it."

The Minister of War said: "Well, I will go talk to them tomorrow."

"Yes!" The Minister of Civil Affairs nodded.

The next day, the carriage of the Minister of Household Affairs stopped at the door of the household.

"Master Chen, why are you here?"

The Minister of Hubu was shocked when he saw the Minister of Hubu.

"(bjcf) I came here specifically to ask for taxes from you today!"

The Minister of Hube looked at him indifferently and said.

"Ah... what do you want... what do you want?"

The Minister of Hube stuttered and looked at the Minister of Hube, looking frightened.

"What? I'm here to work at the household department. Do I need to say hello in advance?"

The Minister of Hube narrowed his eyes and said.

"Uh!" Minister Tobe swallowed.

"What do you mean?" Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance said coldly.

"No... Mr. Chen, you misunderstood, no... Wei Chen said you came to the Ministry of Finance for something?"

The Minister of Tobe asked, wiping his sweat. 【013404319 Feilu 143241251】

The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance shook his head and said: "Of course there is something wrong."

"Say it!" said the Minister of Tobe with a sigh of relief.

"I am here to collect debts from you."

The Minister of Revenue said lightly.

"Ah? Debt collection? Who owes you money?"

The minister of household affairs said doubtfully.

"Liu Yushi!" Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance shouted coldly.

"Ah?" The Minister of Household Affairs was stunned. He naturally knew Liu Yushi's situation.

However, he knew better that the Ministry of Revenue was indeed out of money.

"Master Chen, Liu Yushi has no money!"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance said: "Of course I know that he has no money. Otherwise, how can I let you come over?"

The Minister of Tobe said doubtfully: "Oh, then you want to..."

The Minister of Revenue said in a deep voice: "You don't have to worry about what I want to do."

"Anyway, I want you to remove Liu Yushi from your post today."

The Minister of Tobe hesitated for a moment and then said.

"Sir, I forgive you for not being able to do this. This is Liu Yushi, whom your Majesty has personally appointed. How can I just replace him casually?"
