Zhu Youlang understood the reason why Chen Bangyan asked this question.

The sources of the inner treasury silver are roughly divided into six items: originating from the imperial village, foreign or local tribute, treasury allocation, home search, coal mines, mining tax and commercial tax.

Emperor Wanli loved to save money and played the most. He once sent eunuchs everywhere as mining tax envoys, and all the money he plundered was filled into the inner treasury. This is also a major bad policy that has been criticized.

During the Tianqi period, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian also levied a large amount of mining tax and commercial tax, which enriched the internal treasury and on the other hand, it also enriched his pockets.

Regarding this, people at that time hated Wei Zhongxian very much, but later generations believed that if Wei Zhongxian had not collected mining taxes and commercial taxes and effectively compensated for Chongzhen's military expenditures, the Ming Dynasty might have been in chaos long ago. It seemed that this had become the only place worthy of recognition for Wei Zhongxian.

Now Chen Bangyan asked this, naturally because of the above reasons. He was afraid that Zhu Youlang was using it to plunder money and thought it had been used. If that were the case, it would not be a moral government, but a bad government.

"I am not a wealth-keeping slave, nor am I a wealth-keeping slave. I am rich all over the world, so why do I need so much money? A country rich and strong people are what I want. All commercial taxes are returned to the national treasury, and I will not take a penny. Ling Bin, what do you think?" Zhu Youlang asked.

"The emperor is in love with the world, I will worship you!" Chen Bangyan replied with a bow.

"Okay, what I just said was the first one. The second one is the strong army." Zhu Youlang took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued.

"It goes without saying that for a long time in the future, fighting with the Qing soldiers will be the first priority. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the army. Without a strong army, it is impossible to defeat the powerful Qing soldiers. I intend to take the path of elite troops, abolish the military household system, and implement the recruitment system. All military households were converted into civilian households and enjoy all the benefits of civilian households. In addition, in addition to giving certain pensions to their families, the court should also give their families a portion of money and food to allow their parents to support and their wives to rely on. Those who are disabled should also give preferential treatment to the soldiers. In short, the principle is to let the soldiers fight without worries. Only in this way can they truly improve their combat effectiveness."

"The most important point is to give the army a sacred mission, so that soldiers know who to fight for and why to fight for. Only a just war can gain the support of the people of the world. Therefore, I decided to name the army 'Ming Dynasty People'."

"People's Liberation Army?" Chen Zizhuang, Zhang Jiayu and Chen Bangyan were shocked when they heard the name.

Where did the army have such a name in history? The Ming army system, the local garrison troops were called guards, and their nature was "guards"; the "border army" was an army that guarded the border, and their nature was "guards". The name of "People's Liberation Army" had no passive meaning of defense at all, and the meaning of active attack was stronger. Moreover, the word "people" also had a profound meaning.

"Yes. The army is not fighting for me, or even for the Ming Dynasty, but for the people of the Ming Dynasty. At present, it is also fighting for the rescue of thousands of people under the tyranny of the Qing court." Zhu Youlang said firmly.

"The people are the most important, the country is the next, and the king is the least. The name of the People's Liberation Army of the Ming Dynasty is in line with the way of the saints. The emperor is truly a wise monarch for all eternity. The ministers are willing to devote themselves to the cause of the liberation of the people of the Ming Dynasty and die until they die!" Chen Zizhuang was extremely excited after hearing Zhu Youlang's explanation and took the lead in expressing his agreement.

"I am willing to devote all my efforts to the cause of the liberation of the Ming people and die!" Zhang Jiayu and Chen Bangyan also expressed their excitement.

Zhu Youlang did not expect that he would slightly change the name of the "Chinese People's Liberation Army" in later generations, and he actually got unanimous approval from Chen Zizhuang, Zhang Jiayu, and Chen Bangyan. Moreover, he was very excited to see that.

"Haha, it seems that this name is well-deserved, you can all be extremely excited. When the soldiers fight, how can they not fight to the death?" Zhu Youlang said with a smile.

Yes, it is a battle of justice, and there is still money to get, and there are guarantees for casualties and disabilities. How can such an army be without combat effectiveness?

"Yes, I'll accept it." Chen Zizhuang said.

"In addition, vigorously develop the navy. The navy is the weakness of the Qing army and the strength of our army. With the support of the navy, our army will be more mobile than the Qing army. Now our army is in a very disadvantaged strategic position and can only defend passively. In the future, we enter the strategic defense stage and the strategic counterattack stage, the navy will be a very important force."

"Since ancient times, the unification of all dynasties has always been from north to south, and never from south to north. I want to set a precedent, attack from the ocean to the inland, and then recover the country."

Attacking the inland from the ocean? This is indeed a brand new idea.

Chen Zizhuang and others fell into deep thought.

At first glance, I felt a little incredible, but when I thought about it, I felt it was very correct. The Qing army focused on the land and did not pay attention to the navy at all. It can be said that until now, they did not have a navy army.

However, I vigorously develop the navy, so as to use my strengths to attack the enemy's shortcomings. If I rely on the advantage of the navy, occupy coastal cities, and then use this as a foothold to attack inland, it is indeed a good chance of victory.

wonderful!

The three of them praised each other in their hearts.

"In terms of weapons and equipment, I intend to vigorously develop firearms. The Qing army's cavalry and shooting skills are the only one in the world. The People's Liberation Army will not compete with them in this regard, and they must find another way. Developing firearms is the only way to go. You have seen that the mines improved by me have played a very important role in Guangzhou's defense, which makes the Qing army no longer dare to attack. However, mines have huge roles in defense, and the offensive has shortcomings. In the future, I will develop offensive firearms. When this firearm is made, the Qing army will no longer be scary, and the end of the Qing court will not be far away."

"The above is my general idea of ​​strengthening the army. Yuanzi, based on what I just said, you have drawn up a charter for strengthening the army. The most urgent task is to draw up a charter for preferential treatment for casualties and disabled soldiers."

"I obey the order."

Zhu Youlang's long and new words and new ideas made the three ministers feel refreshed. At the same time, he also felt that the emperor was meticulous and jumpy, so why couldn't he keep up with what he knew and saw?

"There is a third article, which is to govern officials."

"Governing the country is governing officials, and administration is a taboo for the country. Although this dynasty is inherited, it is actually a new creation, and it is even more important to pay attention to administration. Some ancestral systems must be followed and some ancestral systems must be modified. This is a big article, and we must consider how to write them from now on."

"If you don't say anything else, there are two things that must be done. First, it is strictly forbidden to form party parties. There are many people who have died in party disputes in all dynasties. The party disputes in our dynasty began with Shenzong, and then became more and more intense. The continuous internal friction eventually led to the decline of national strength, which led to chaos in the world. The Jurchens took the opportunity to become bigger, and the Mingzuo was almost unable to continue. Therefore, I hate the party disputes very much. If there is a "Guangzhou Party" or a "Zhaoqing Party" in the future, no matter how much credit it has been made, I will punish them strictly without lending!"
