Then, Zhu Youxiao said: "The rewards are divided into two ways. The annual small exam is less, and the rewards are double or three or even four. For the Beijing Office and the major examination, the rewards are more rewards for the excellent ones to create typical examples, but not more. A ten-title name is enough for a province, and it can be listed in the local chronicles;

But the reward is not to give too much money and food at one time to make it extravagant, mainly to increase its treatment. For example, the court raises several staff members for him, several doctors for him, several car and sedan chairs, several servants and even several concubines, how big should he allocate official silver for him, etc., and even if he is granted a wife and a child, he cannot make himself rich suddenly!”

"Your Majesty said very much! But in this way, the court's money and food expenditure will increase a lot."

Fang Congzhe replied.

"This is something that the court must bear, otherwise they will have to ask the people for it in various ways, both openly and secretly!"

Zhu Youxiao said that he knew that if the Ming Dynasty court wanted to make officials clear and clear, it had to bear more responsibilities, and if it wanted to make the court more centralized, it had to bear more functions.

The Ming Dynasty was a "small court" in the past, with less taxes and not enough social responsibilities.

According to Zhu Youxiao's idea, after the Ming Dynasty, it would be a "big court" and levy more taxes, and the social responsibilities and functions they bear would also be increased.

Because in Zhu Youxiao's view, the current "small court" model of the Ming Dynasty made the gentry too "free" and each did not play the social role they should play, such as governing the place for the court to appease the people.

On the contrary, the number of refugees has increased, and the gentry has become less and less careful about the court. The infrastructure is also very poor. The frequent increase in floods and droughts has something to do with the fact that the infrastructure such as water conservancy is not well adjusted. However, the Ming Dynasty is still an agricultural empire. If the infrastructure such as water conservancy is not done well, it will affect the development of the entire empire.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao said that this was something that the court had to bear.

Because these local officials must be controlled by the court through various welfare systems, and cannot be controlled by gentry, wealthy and wealthy people through money and beauty.

"yes!"

Fang Congzhe asked.

"In addition, in the future, the salary and rewards will no longer be given food, and all the silver will be discounted. You can use the Ministry of Rites to formulate a ceremony to invite the statue of Taizu, and then order the Baoquan Bureau to cast a batch of silver coins with the statue of Taizu;

These silver coins are used as salary and reward silver for officials. The statue of the Taizu God was engraved on the silver coins to let the officials remember the teachings of Taizu when they get the silver coins, and also to use the power of the Taizu God to protect our Ming Dynasty money law, to ensure the fairness of the transaction of silver coins, and to be summoned to the world at that time;

These silver coins from the statue of Taizu were specially issued by the Ming Dynasty. The silver coins contained the statue of Taizu and the specific pounds. This was to ensure that the silver coins were accurate with the power of Taizu, so as to facilitate market transactions without having to put scissors and cut silver during trading;

Anyone who dares to cast silver coins in the Ming Dynasty will be privately engraved by Taizu, which is disrespectful to Taizu. Once it is found out, there are no privately cast silver coins, and the decision will be made!

Including burning and recasting into silverware or even making fake silver coins short, it was also very disrespectful to Taizu. Once it was found out, all silverware and fake silver coins were found, and the decision was made!

There are also scholars and citizens who can use the power of Taizu to use silver coins for transaction and storage, but they are obliged and must be kept properly. Anyone who damages or makes them too dirty will be disrespectful to Taizu! The punishment of serving for more than three years to be executed according to the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the severity of the

As far as Zhu Youxiao knows, the Ming Dynasty has never established a complete monetary system, which has made the current finance of the Ming Dynasty completely out of control by the court.

However, due to the inflow of large amounts of silver, the Ming Dynasty has entered an era of trading with silver as the main currency among the people.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao had long wanted to slowly establish the Ming Dynasty monetary system so that the Ming Dynasty could control the Ming Dynasty's economy and make the Ming Dynasty richer.

Now asking the statue of Taizu to mint silver coins is the beginning of Zhu Youxiao's desire to build official currency.

Zhu Youxiao did not make banknotes from the beginning because the excessive issuance of Baochao made famous generals lose trust in official banknotes.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao could only start by minting silver currency at the beginning, and by paying salaries and rewarding silver to officials.

Zhu Youxiao did not directly prepare for the establishment of an official currency in terms of taxation.

That is, by tax collection only, cash collection but not grain collection.

Because Zhu Youxiao knew that this was not an easy task. After all, if taxes only collect cash, many self-sufficient and self-sufficient farmers who do not have much commodity trading activities only have food but no silver. Letting them only pay the money will make them have to use grain to exchange for silver with the wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and laboring farmers.

Especially the self-cultivated farmers in the north.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao only tried his best to spend money on expenditures first, but in terms of inputs from the court, he still adopted the flexible method of collecting grain and cashiers.

"Your Majesty, if all the silver is paid, officials and their families will have to go to the market to buy grain. This will probably lead to unstable silver prices on the market, and the grain prices will increase again, which will be detrimental to the livelihood of the people."

Fang Congzhe admitted that the emperor was very clever in doing this, and it was indeed better to issue silver than to issue food. After all, the Ming Dynasty is not short of silver and food now, but he still had to remind Zhu Youxiaolai.

"At present, the West Factory is very effective in urging the payment of taxes in Nanzhili. Next, even if the grain that was urged to be transported to the local government warehouse first, a lot of it will still be transported to Beijing. At that time, it will definitely lead to a significant increase in grain in the capital, which will just increase the amount of silver on the market to keep the grain price and avoid hurting farmers;

However, the price of grain must be controlled in the hands of the court, so the court must set up a grain bureau, which will set up official grain shops in various places, and then sell official grain to officials and civilians, so as to avoid the new grain being too late to be processed in the official warehouse and even the grain becoming moldy in the end, and the grain being greedy for the end, and the excessive loss of grain in storage due to rats and fires."

Zhu Youxiao started talking.

Fang Congzhe understood what Zhu Youxiao meant and knew that the emperor wanted to take back the silver coins sent to the officials by selling grain, and at the same time, he controlled the important materials such as food that are related to the world's livelihood in the hands of the court, so he replied: "Your Majesty is wise! I obey the order!"

"I give the officials enough rewards, but they can't be lazy anymore. The exam must be strict! Everyone cannot be idle either! Let's get strict with the central court. How much government affairs must be completed every day? If they cannot be completed, there must be a plan. If they fail to complete it beyond the plan date, they must be severely punished! Only when the completion is completed will it be included in the political achievements and prepare the reward according to the completion effect!"

"The Six Ministry and the Censorate have been admitted to local officials in various government affairs, and the Six Censorate have been admitted to the Six Ministry and the Censorate, the Cabinet has been admitted to the Six Censorate, and the Political Affairs Hall has been admitted to the Cabinet, and I personally have been admitted to the Political Affairs Hall!"

Zhu Youxiao ordered.

"I obey the order!"

Fang Congzhe immediately replied.
Chapter completed!
