Zhu Youxiao took out a small notebook and wrote down the capable staff recommended by Teacher Yuan. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Without a mobile phone or computer, Zhu Youxiao could only use this stupid method.

Although he knew the direction of history, Zhu Youxiao also felt the shallowness of historical knowledge. He knew about famous masters such as Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, and Sun Chuanting, but after all, there were only a few.

For example, this person named Lu Shanji was a Jinshi in the 41st year of Wanli. He is currently the head of the Fangshi Department of the Ministry of War and is famous for his outstanding talents.

In theory, the Jinshi in the 41st year of Wanli was considered to be of considerable qualifications, but he was still a small official. The reason was that this guy was stubborn and was demoted and demoted one after another by Emperor Wanli.

Although Yuan Keli praised Lu Shanji's personality and academic charm, Zhu Youxiao did not care about this stubborn "death struggle". What he valued was another of Lu Shanji's specialties.

After Lu Shan first entered the official career, he first visited the Ministry of War, and then appointed the head of the Ministry of Revenue Shandong Office, serving as the salt law. He used the national border salary to obtain enough money, and studied the salt law from experts, and wrote the "Guangdong-Fujian Salt Law Proposal".

What kind of talents are Zhu Youxiao now looking for? First, the generals who can fight, and second, the capable personnel who can make money.

Lu Shanji has studied salt law, and what other legal proposals can he write? Wouldn't it be appropriate to do salt administration? Even if he doesn't care about salt administration and becomes an official in the Ministry of Revenue, it is a professional counterpart.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao also found that relying on his own little historical knowledge is definitely not enough to find capable officials. Unless there is a help from Du Niang, who can know which guy has done what he has and what his specialties are.

Despite this, Zhu Youxiao gradually discovered some rules. That is, those who have worked in local areas and have outstanding political achievements are mostly talented.

Like the governor of Denglai, the governor of Tianjin, the governor of Sichuan, the governor of Sichuan, and some more unknown magistrates and prefects, they are also very talented and manage the local area well.

From this, Zhu Youxiao came to a conclusion that may not be very correct. Being an official in the local area tests his actual work ability and knowing the suffering of the people at the bottom can be used as a standard to examine officials.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food. Even a county, a state, and a government cannot manage well. If you go to the court to talk about your strategy for governing the country, isn’t that bullshit?

Most of the members of the cabinet in the Ming Dynasty came from Hanlin Academy, and the Hanlin Academy was also called the place where government materials were stored. After Emperor Yingzong had a more convention: he would not enter the Hanlin Academy unless he was a Jinshi, and he would not enter the cabinet unless he was a Hanlin.

Although it is not absolute, there are still very few local governors who enter the cabinet.

Zhu Youxiao is already working on reorganizing the cabinet. Zhang Heming, Minister of War, was the first to be dismissed, followed by Zhao Nanxing, Minister of Personnel.

The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of fiscal and taxation, which is the lifeblood of the country's economy. Although the current Minister of Shang Li Zongyan, although he has some support and sympathy with the Donglin Party, he is still a relatively moderate and practical talent.

However, Li Zong Yannian was already in high spirits and lacked the spirit of enterprising spirit. If Zhu Youxiao wanted to reform, he would naturally replace him and retire and return to honor.

With the three powers of military power, personnel, and finance in his hands, Zhu Youxiao has made drastic reforms. The problem now is that it is easy to take over, and who can take over and act according to his will, which makes him very troublesome.

Now, Tao Langxian, Bi Ziyan, and Li Qiyuan, who was appointed in the first year of Taichang, was appointed by the Right Censor and Right Minister of War, the Governor of Shaanxi's three-border military affairs and food and money, had been selected by Zhu Youxiao and would soon enter the cabinet.

Li Qiyuan was noticed by Zhu Youxiao. He wrote a twelve memorials by using his troops to recruit empty troops, fire fell, red and evil, silver and evil, and the three chiefs were able to capture the gap and plot against the enemy.

The organization was clear and the measures were appropriate. Zhu Youxiao took all the instructions and began to check Li Qiyuan's resume in detail.

I don’t know if I don’t look at it, I’m shocked when I see it.

Li Qiyuan has been through the five dynasties of Jiajing, Longqing, Wanli, Taichang and Tianqi. He served as the county magistrate, head of the Ministry of Revenue, senator, deputy envoy, political participation, governor, governor, and governor. He can be said to have started from the grassroots level and has been promoted step by step by step by step by step by step by step by hard work and political achievements.

When he was the magistrate of Wu County, Henan Province, he was famine. Li Qiyuan opened a warehouse and went out of the grain, created a porridge farm, and saved tens of thousands of hungry people. However, he endured hunger and ran around to inspect, making people thin and wide.

When he was the head of the Ministry of Revenue, Li Qiyuan was known for his proficiency in ministry affairs.

When he served as the Shandong Senate to serve as an envoy to the Linqing People's Rebellion, Li Qiyuan played an important role in quelling the civil unrest, saving 48,000 taels of silver for the court, preparing for waste in the storage, and was highly valued by Emperor Wanli.

When he was the Left Administration Commissioner of Henan, Li Qiyuan was reported as the "first in the world".

This qualification and political achievements shine everywhere, and respectable old comrades, respectable old revolutionaries!

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao believed that Li Qiyuan had a sharp eye and could discover the accumulated shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty better than him. He was not a party or a faction, honest and dedicated, and could be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Tianjin Governor Bi Ziyan is also good, and he has some talent in financial management. But Zhu Youxiao feels that he can be careful in calculating, and his brains to expand financial resources seem to be not broad enough.

Throttle is needed, but more importantly, open source.

Collecting corrupt officials' homes, cutting off their vassals, and collecting industrial and commercial and mining taxes are all methods. But where is the most important source of wealth? Exporting foreign exchange and earning money!

But it is easy to open the maritime ban, and it is not difficult to make money. However, it is not easy to fill the treasury.

After the Longqing switch was turned on, more than 70 years after the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, one-third of the world's silver flowed into China, but how much wealth did the Ming Dynasty accumulate?

To put it bluntly, the country is still so poor that it is so poor that Chongzhen died of poverty.

Not to mention that the country has not made money, the influx of large amounts of silver has caused inflation and made the lives of ordinary people more difficult.

You understand, the maritime trade is to make money, and the big ones make money, but the ones who make money are not the countries, but those maritime traders and officials involved.

Not to mention that the Longqing switch has only one month, Hong Kong is a trade port. According to the current system and bureaucratic system, even if there are ten or eight ports, the wealthy people still cannot enter the national treasury, and the wealthy people are still the wealthy families in Jiangnan, the scholars and business officials.

Just like commercial taxes, there are so many banknotes, but they still cannot stop the privileges of officials and businessmen, and they cannot stop the wealthy merchants and tycoons from evading taxes through various means.

Small and medium-sized businessmen who have no way to complain, they have become the main factor in paying taxes, and they will be charged when they meet the barriers and have difficulty in business.

There is a story in "Jinling Trivia" that is very thought-provoking and makes Zhu Youxiao angry.

It is said that during the Wanli period, a commoner wanted to make a small business. After cobbing up seven or eight taels of silver, he purchased a batch of lamp grass from his hometown and hired a ship to sell it.

It’s thirty taxable, only two or three cents of tax, but the burden is not heavy. The common people think that they will have to earn two or three taels of silver every time.
