The emperor's desire to go to Yazhou to take a look was getting stronger, especially after the difference in his understanding of that land, he said to King Lu in a very serious tone more than once in the palace: "They must be ruling me, saying that Yazhou is dangerous, barren land, slutty!"

"Look at the palace banquet, they were full of oil in their mouths of eating man beef. They drank Giant Turtle Soup until they couldn't move and said, "I've asked General Luo Shen for inquiries. That Man Beef is something that the soldiers in Majiagang can eat in three days. General Luo Shen for a month in a row!"

Every time this comes, the young King Lu feels the envy from his brother.

The Beiyang Phase I supply fleet did not bring back any cargo when it returned to the voyage, but it was very much when it returned to the voyage, which even made the little emperor have a guess.

Outside the Imperial Horse Prison in Forbidden City, Emperor Wanli, who was holding the calf's tail, suddenly tilted his head and asked King Lu: "Look, I will send a fleet of 200 or 300 to the first phase of Beiyang? They will transport such a few things back."

"When the second phase of Beiyang, I have sent 1,500 ships. Uncle Jinghai has almost filled 1,300 ships. The teacher has been happy these days. I heard that the tariff on the half-moonlight is more than 1.7 million taels, and the municipal tax has not yet been calculated... The third phase of Beiyang is about to leave, right?"

As the elder brother's royal human-shaped cat bed, King Lu, who sat cross-legged on the grass on the horse farm, held the cat in his arms with his hands, and his little face was full of reluctance, asked, "What are the emperors going to do?"

Can Zhang Juzheng be unhappy? The world is moving in an interesting direction. The devastated country has brought a heavy burden to every courtier, but now? The burden should still be there, but it always makes people feel that it is not that heavy.

In the past, I was afraid of land annexation, but in fact, what I fear was not annexation, but the fear that the people would have no way to live without land.

The problem of land annexation is still serious now, but what about the refugees? There are no refugees!

There was a drought in the northwest. The grain planted in that year was sold out and was not enough to exchange for silver for taxes. There was no way to sell the land, but the price of the land was low in the dry season, and it was only enough to pay taxes after selling it. What should I do next year if I lost my land? I had to work as a tenant servant, lose my family and sell my children.

But in recent years, there have been more people bachelors. Where are the factories in various places not recruiting workers? When they encounter drought, they can't pay taxes, so they go to the factory to work as a helper, do odd jobs for a month not only to earn taxes, but also to eat and use later.

A royal decree was issued to allow the lowest-level poor and humble royal family to go to Zhili, North and South, and to work in factories in five provinces of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong. As long as the common people of the royal family were willing to endure hardships, their lives would be relaxed immediately.

The wealth of the royal family, the salary of the border troops, and the thousand-pound burdens that the imperial court had previously been under pressure, suddenly the Beijing movements in Myanmar, Luzon and Java could be solved by half.

The Western Military Palace's cotton is transported back hundreds of ships every season, and Malacca can no longer be taxed, but any of the customs in the five provinces has more input than Malacca.

What's more, overseas trade can be taxed three times.

If you buy goods in your territory, you have to pay a 10% discount tax on the territory, but the customs is from the Ming Dynasty; if you want to ship the goods to the country, you have to pay a 10% discount tax on the customs, or a 10% discount tax on the customs. If you leave the customs, you have to sell goods. No matter how you want to sell seafood, you can only be distributed in the five provinces' municipal transportation departments, and one transfers and then pays a 10% tax on the tax.

Even so, the maritime businessmen still flocked to it.

Because the profit is too high, these taxes will eventually be transferred to the hands of every person in the transaction, and there will be profits.

Since the Western Military Palace was set in Goa, cotton was given there as free. Most marine chambers of state even chose to buy land and open factories there. They spun cotton thread locally at low labor costs and then sold it back. They didn't have to sell it to other places. They had signed a contract long ago and sent it to various commanders and garrisons on time every year.

In the past, I used barter and used cotton thread to exchange cotton cloth, and sold part of it to Java for grain, and part of it to India and then continued to sell it.

Food can be tax-deductible.

This kind of super-large trade made a small profit. Although the amount of shipments and purchases was extremely large, it accounted for less than 30% of the court's tariffs, after all, the unit price was low.

The profits of the imperial court brought explosive growth in the transaction of valuables such as pearls, ivory and gems.

The inflated treasury revenue can solve problems better than anything else.

Chuchu was in charge of the country, and what made him happiest when he placed it in front of Zhang Juzheng was that the imperial court's treasury still had a surplus of one million taels this year.

Now the regent, what makes Zhang Juzheng worry about is how to spend the 10 million taels he earned in the treasury this year.

"In barren land, can there be so many jade artifacts in barren land?"

The little emperor stopped competing with the calf, so he let the Yazhou girl who was wearing colorful flowers and aerials run freely on the grass. She panted and sat cross-legged next to Lu Wang. She naturally took the cat to her arms, raised her chin and said, "How about sending two thousand boats this year?"

King Lu didn't want to leave his hometown and felt deeply resistant to the land there. Although the cat in his arms was gone, his hands still maintained their original posture, and his right hand slowly stroked the air. After a while, he realized this action and held his fist and said, "Send another 100,000 people?"

"I won't send it to you. General Luo Shen said that there is no shortage of people in Asia. Eighty thousand people went over to scare the county magistrates in various places. The people still lack food at sea, so just send a ship to them."

Xiao Wanli said, showing a smirk of conspiracy and tricks on his face, and said, "Let them settle first. When my Tengxiang Two Guards are well trained, I will send the Wuxiang Two Guards, and I will probably wait for the fifth phase of Beiyang."

"Wait until the seventh phase, I will send four more guards; eight guards in the nineth phase! I will send away all those who cannot be beaten sooner or later!"

After Zhang Shu finished talking about his ambitions, Xiao Wanli paused for the praise he should have come, but saw that his younger brother didn't say a word. When he turned his head, he heard King Lu curling his lips and asked as if he had been too aggrieved: "Why did the emperor send all the unbeaten to his vassal states?"

"This is called a strong, weak branch, high and low, and everything is clear." Xiao Wanli, who shook his head, did not shy away, and said, "It's okay, you have my confidant general Jing Haibo watching. If you encounter a war, you will have the Beiyang Banner Army to fight. Sending troops to the garrison will not be a soldier, but a commoner."

"Have you just learned about Tian Ji's horse racing?"

Not to mention, this feeling of being a good teacher is really good for the little emperor!

Wanli gained great satisfaction from the Lu Wang's eyes full of knowledge, and smacked his lips and said: "Since the Battle of Tumu Fort, the guards could not fight. The state dynasty had camps to recruit soldiers, and the newly established flag army Beiyang. The guards were the most unstoppable of all war soldiers."

"The most impossible to fight is better than the people. I think that treating the guards with the people of other countries is just like dismounting the horse with the horse. Alas... I am so wise, it is a blessing for the empire!"

The little emperor applauded himself, frightened the cat in his arms, and quickly reached out to comfort him, but he did not forget to raise his chin to hook his fingers at King Lu: "Come here, I will give you a mission. In a few days, you will go to find your mother and say you want to go to Beiyang to watch the military parade. If your mother doesn't let you, you will say that in a few years you will go to sea and become a vassal."

King Lu blinked: "Emperor brother, I don't want to."

"No, no, no, the military parade is so fun, you can still take a boat! You want it, really, especially!"

Xiao Wanli nodded and said, "If you don't know, just cry, think so."

The face of King Lu was full of sorrow, like the orange cat in Wanli's arms. He was under the pressure of life that he shouldn't have at a young age. He sighed with irritability, and said in a weak voice: "I really want to watch the military parade..."

Wanli clenched his fist and encouraged, "That's right! You want to watch the military parade so much, just make trouble if you don't let it be!"

"Yes, but what if the queen is still not sure? It's very dangerous to leave the palace. Even if I ask my brother to go and see, I won't let the emperor follow you, right?"

Little Wanli was struck by lightning and murmured to himself: "Yes, why don't you let me follow me... It's okay, I will tell my mother two days later, and I will talk to you again when I'm sure I'll say it again. If it really doesn't work, I'll let the troops enter Beijing. I'll summon envoys from all directions. Although I can't take a boat, it's interesting to see."

"I took a sip of wine two days ago, and it was quite interesting to be dizzy. I will call the palace banquet in a few days. Then, let Wang An secretly hide a bottle of wine and let you drink some when you look back."
