Zhou Zheng is very tight now. He came back from Tianjin Wei and was walking around in various departments before he had a rest.

The first yamen Zhou Zheng left was the Ministry of Revenue.

Gao Hongtu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, had already left Beijing, and the left assistant minister Hu Jianghe held a bunch of documents and said to Zhou Zheng: "Sir, the matter is much more serious than we estimate. Even if these princes hide a lot of property, they are copied from the public, it is unthinkable. Currently, there are 23 million silver, and it is expected that it may end up to about 40 million. There are countless courtyard shops, etc., and if you convert them, there will be at least several million. Various treasures are difficult to estimate for a while. As for the land, the officials estimate that it is expected to be more than three million hectares..."

One hectares are one hundred acres, three million, which is three million acres!

Forty million silver!

Zhou Zheng narrowed his eyes and said to himself: "Enough."

Hu Jianghe was stunned and said, "Sir, what's enough?"

Zhou Zheng laughed and said, "I will order all departments to cooperate with you. We must do it clearly for me. If someone secretly tampers, don't blame me for dealing with it harshly."

Hu Jianghe hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Lord Gao and Xiaguan have taken strict precautions to ensure that no one will interfere!"

With such a big number, no one will reach out. The inside and outside can't stop it!

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "Go up, there is not enough manpower, I will find a way to arrange it for you."

Hu Jianghe said: "Yes. Don't worry, sir, the lower officials are working overtime and strive to complete the liquidation within three months."

Zhou Zheng nodded, took office in the Ministry of Revenue for a long time, and went to Zhou's ticket number in the afternoon.

Chengjin, Shangguan Xun and others have been busy recently and are sleeping at night.

Cheng Jin took Zhou Zheng's ticket to the ticket, and said at the same time: "The boss, the ticket has received 8 million yuan in silver from all over the country. Other shops, courtyards, gold, silver and jewelry are also trying to convert them. Because the number is relatively large, it will not be completely sold for a while..."

Zhou Zheng walked slowly with his hands behind his back and said, "Well, the imperial court has made great moves this time, and he didn't expect that there would be so many. You can help with all your efforts and complete the established plan."

Cheng's economy responded and said: "The ticket numbers are expanding rapidly. It is expected that by the end of next year, each government will set up a semicolon to connect the world. At the same time, we will also integrate the stations originally laid off by the imperial court and prepare them for transit for cargo transportation, and also open inns, restaurants and other businesses..."

Zhou Zheng listened, raised his eyebrows and nodded calmly, without commenting.

Shangguan Xun followed and continued: "The piaohao has taken over the task of coining the Ministry of Revenue. The new coins are being printed and manufactured. It is expected that 30 million will be issued next year..."

Zhou Zheng spoke this time and said, "We must hurry up this matter. The court expects to officially abolish old coins, including copper coins, scattered silver, treasure banknotes, etc. You must lay a solid foundation and strive for 50 million..."

Cheng Jin and Shangguan Xun responded quickly and said, "Yes. Don't worry, boss, we will do our best."

Zhou Zheng said aloud, took a few steps, and said, "Father-in-law, after the New Year, I will give you the identity of a special envoy of the court. You are in the capital and in Nanzhili, calling on all major merchants and big merchants to form a joint chamber of commerce. This chamber of commerce has several purposes. First, this is a civil restraining agency for merchants, and you can also draft commercial regulations for reference for the court and assist the court in doing something. Second, it is to unite to develop maritime trade. There are many people and strong forces. Next year, the court will open a maritime ban and encourage going to sea. There will also be an official caravan. Third, the president of this chamber of commerce will give a third-rank official a false title and establish seven major directors."

What Zhou Zheng said seems clear, but in fact he is vague, but these three points are touching enough!

Shangguan Xun pondered and said, "If this is the case, in the future, we will borrow money from the world and replace old coins, which will be twice the result with half the effort."

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Well, there are many benefits, and you will find it slowly."

Shangguan Xun responded quickly and said, "I set off before the New Year. I went to every place and set up a threshold for admission. Those who have no money cannot enter."

Zhou Zheng's expression moved slightly and looked at Shangguan Xun. The father-in-law reacted quickly. He had never thought of this before. He was afraid that this "membership fee" alone would be a big income.

After a long time, Zhou Zheng came out of the Zhou family's ticket number and went to the Ministry of Works.

Zhou Fang was having a headache. The huge work department was simply a mess.

Not to mention the various palaces in the two capitals have been in disrepair, many of them have been struck by fire and lightning, other imperial tombs, sacrificial places, various government offices, plus local official roads, river canals, bridge pavilions, etc. If you look closely, you can simply rebuilt it!

Zhou Fang took a sip of tea, rubbed his stiff face, and said, "I understand. The huge Ming Dynasty is almost like a reconstruction..."

Zhou Zheng knew that Zhou Fang had not slept all night and said, "What are you going to do?"

Zhou Fang had a great headache and said, "What can I do? Ask the court for money, pick up important things, and wait until the treasury is better."

It is hard for a good cook to cook without rice. Zhou Fang was in charge of the family and realized how difficult it was.

Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea and said without nonsense: "This time, the three departments, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang have confiscated a large amount of assets, and at least tens of millions of dollars. I will ask the Ministry of Revenue to allocate three million to you."

Zhou Fang's eyes widened, and he was surprised and said, "Really, there are three million?"

Three million, the treasury in the Ming Dynasty is only so many.

Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "Don't repair palaces and government offices first, you can wait. The official roads and rivers are focused on, so many people are affected by disasters, so they use labor for relief."

Zhou Fang listened to the four words "work for relief" and his eyes lit up and said, "Okay. This is a good method! Where can I get the money?"

Zhou Zheng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Okay, go to the Ministry of Revenue first to go to the Ministry of Revenue to get the ticket number, and then go to the Zhou family ticket number to collect it. In batches, I won't give it to you all at once."

Zhou Fang hurriedly said, "Not three million batches, even two hundred thousand batches are enough for me to wake up when I fell asleep. I'll go now!"

Zhou Zheng couldn't stop him. He had a lot of things to say, so he could only keep it when he would go home.

Zhou was wandering around the six ministries. Just as he was about to turn back to his class room, Fan Wenjing greeted him with a smile and raised his hand and said, "Zheng Xibo, can you please speak with a step?"

This is Zhou Yanru's personal secret. Zhou Zheng has to give him some face no matter what, and said with a smile: "Okay."

Fan Wenjing and Zhou Zheng came to a remote place, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I heard that the family was searched this time, and the income was quite large. Will it be included in the national treasury?"

Zhou Zheng didn’t know what Fan Wenjing meant and said directly: “I agreed with Yuan Fu before that the income was determined, and each one depends on his ability.”

Fan Wenjing immediately laughed and said, "Yuan Fu is not aware of it when he comes to the office. Zheng Xibo also knows that the treasury is empty now and the northwest is in urgent need of relief. Yuan Fu is under great pressure. No matter what, please relieve the thirty-two."
