Chapter 711: The Five Departments That Made Crazy Proposals And The Household Department That Kept R
The more Ru Taisu thought about the rhetorical suggestions given by Shang Sheng Fan Bai, the more subtle he felt.
The rhetorical suggestions given by Shang Sheng Fan Bai can not only guide people's consumption and win the hearts of the people, but can even further stimulate and accelerate the construction of concrete roads by the people of the Ming Dynasty.
After all, the imperial court now stores hundreds of millions of pounds of sea salt and hundreds of millions of pounds of salted fish meat!!!
The reason why it is impossible to transport and distribute large quantities and quickly to various parts of the Ming Dynasty for sale is not because the road traffic in the Ming Dynasty is not smooth.
As a result, long-distance transportation and distribution are difficult, and the carrying capacity is limited.
And when ordinary people know that the reason why they can't buy large quantities of high-quality sea salt and salted fish meat at a price that has been reduced to 50% of the original price is because the concrete road has not been built well.
How will the people react?!!
Of course, you have to take the initiative and work overtime to build concrete roads!!!
The sooner the concrete road is repaired, the sooner they can buy more cheap and high-quality sea salt and salted fish, which is also a good thing for them.
In this way, when the people can freely choose whether to voluntarily be employed by the court, and the court pays enough wages, and even pays them daily, it will also be of great benefit to them after the concrete cement road is repaired.
When ordinary people build concrete roads, they will become more dynamic.
It's even possible that the concrete roads that were originally planned to take two years to build across all provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties in the world can be completed in a year and a half, or even earlier.
The sooner the concrete road is completed, it will be a good thing for the court.
This is especially true for the household department.
Don't even say it's half a year ahead of schedule, even if it's just one month ahead of schedule.
The money saved by hiring ordinary people to build "393" concrete roads can cost as little as hundreds of thousands of dollars [and as much as even millions.
The saved hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even millions of dollars, can allow the Ministry of Household Affairs to approve several more small projects.
Since becoming the Minister of Household Affairs, Ru Taisu felt that although the imperial court's fiscal annual income was increasing year by year, the same imperial court's fiscal annual expenditure was increasing year by year.
Especially since the originally independent financial power of the other five ministries was forcibly transferred to the Ministry of Revenue by Zhu Yuanzhang with the help of the major rebellion cases of Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang in previous years, and the Ministry of Revenue was actually in charge of the world's money and food.
Whenever the end of the year and the beginning of the year come to formulate and approve the costs of various projects of the imperial court for the coming year, the other five ministries of the imperial court will go crazy and submit various plans for the next year's projects to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
For example, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry jointly proposed a plan this year to rebuild the city wall in the border town.
Nowadays, the city walls in the important towns on Jiubian are too low, too short, only about three feet high. How can we prevent the invasion of foreign enemies like this?
All the city walls of the nine-sided town were rebuilt and raised to five feet!!!
Look at how those Beiyuan barbarians were able to break through the city wall!!!
Seeing the plan jointly submitted by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, Ru Taisu almost spit out blood on the spot.
Now the city walls of Yingtian Mansion are only four feet high, but the walls of your Jiucheng Town are actually higher than the capital of the Ming Dynasty?!
And how much will this project cost?!!
Even though there was a special reason for building a border fortress and guarding against foreign enemies, this was too much.
So Ru Taisu replied on the spot that the approval was not passed and rejected it.
The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry were naturally not happy and raised the matter again at the court meeting.
Then Ru Taisu once again quarreled with the Confucian scholars at the court meeting, and one person angrily fought with the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, and once again refuted the plan.
In addition to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, the other Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Personnel also submitted their own plans.
In general, in one sentence, I have many projects, they are urgent and necessary, please give me money as soon as possible!!!
Anyway, now their five ministries do not have independent financial power, and they no longer need to consider the cost of project projects, so what else is there to say? Just one word, mention!!!
All conceivable, useful, and various projects that require money, no matter how big or small, are mentioned first.
As for whether the Ministry of Household Affairs will approve it in the end, that is another matter.
The worst case scenario is just a verbal spat with the Ministry of Finance. What are they afraid of?
You won’t lose anything if you lose, and you’ll make a lot of money if you win!
Now that the plan is proposed, even if it is not approved in the end.
If something happens in the future, they will have a reason and an excuse to blame it, saying that they noticed the problem early on and submitted a plan to solve it.
But in the end, the Ministry of Household Affairs failed to approve it and did not allocate funds to them, so the problem remained unresolved until it finally broke out.
As long as there is such a reason and excuse, if something goes wrong, even if other ministries have to bear the responsibility, they can drag the Ministry of Revenue into the water, and both parties will take the blame together.
Naturally, Ru Taisu and Hu Bu also knew about the dark thoughts of the other five departments.
But even if they knew it, they had nothing to do, because this was one of the prices that had to be paid to take back the originally independent financial powers of the other five ministries.
Of course, this does not mean that there are no solutions. The first solution is to return the original independent financial rights of the other five ministries.
In this way, the other five ministries have independent financial power. Even if there is a problem, the blame cannot be placed on the Ministry of Revenue. After all, even if the Ministry of Revenue does not approve the funds, don’t you have any money yourself?!!
And if you have money and realize that the problem exists, then you don’t solve the problem and keep waiting for it to explode. What do you want to do?!!
But not to mention whether Zhu Yuanzhang agreed or not, even the Ministry of Revenue himself was reluctant.
You must know that there is a huge difference between a complete financial power and an incomplete financial power.
Let's put it this way. In the past, among the six departments, the official department was the leader. The official department minister was also called the Tianguan Otsukazai, while the Hubu department was called the local official dasitu.
One is a heavenly official and the other is a local official. Between the official department and the household department, who has a higher status? [The result is obvious.
But after the Ministry of Household Affairs has complete financial power, the Ministry of Personnel?!!
Officials also need to spend money!!!
As for spending money, it must be approved by the Ministry of Household Affairs!!!
The Ministry of Personnel dares to block people from the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Hunan dares to block the financial approval of the Ministry of Personnel.
And if the financial approval from the Ministry of Civil Affairs cannot be approved, then even the east will have to be silent.
Therefore, the current six departments of the imperial court have gradually transformed into a state in which the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Households share equal respect and suppress one part of the other four departments.
Therefore, under such circumstances, how can the Ministry of Revenue be willing to take back the complete financial power with great difficulty and transfer part of it again.
And if the first method doesn't work, there is also a second method, and that is approval!!!
As long as the plans submitted by the other five ministries of the imperial court are all approved, all funds will be allocated.
In this way, their household department has given money, and if there is another problem in the future, the blame cannot be placed on their door department.
After all, their account department has allocated all the funds that should be allocated.
In the end, there was a problem. It was obviously because the other five departments were not doing their job well, or they were paid to do nothing.
This method can be said to be simple and crude, and at the same time has the best effect.
The only problem is that it costs too much money!!!
As for the expenditures of the plans submitted by the other five ministries, let alone the tens of millions of Ming Dynasty's fiscal year income, even if the Ming Dynasty's fiscal year income is hundreds of millions of yuan, it will not be able to withstand it.
Therefore, under such circumstances, the Ministry of Household Affairs can only review the plans submitted by the other five ministries.
We will weigh the priorities of each project and the seriousness of the problems involved, and then allocate funds after comprehensive consideration.
On the other hand, it is to approve as many plans as possible from the other five departments.
In this way, even if there is a problem with the projects of the other five departments in the future, the chance of being able to blame the Ministry of Household Affairs will be much smaller.
And if you want to achieve something, it does not require more money from the Ministry of Revenue and the treasury to support it.
And where does the money for the Ministry of Revenue’s treasury come from?!!
In addition to open source, of course we also have to reduce expenditure!!!
Therefore, when faced with plans that can save money for the Ministry of Revenue and the treasury, Ru Taisu has always fully supported them.
And now the speech Shang Sheng Fan Bai gave to the people of the Ming Dynasty was such a speech that could potentially save the Ministry of Household Affairs hundreds of thousands of guan, or even millions of guan.
[Looking back, we must ask people from the Ministry of Industry and local officials in various places to "tell the people carefully about the compensation and rewards that the court's move will bring to them when they hire people to build concrete roads!!!"
[And the sooner the concrete cement road is built, the sooner they can enjoy the benefits that the concrete cement road brings to them!!!]
[No, this statement is still too formal!!!]
[We need to be more straightforward and tell the people directly that the sooner concrete roads are built, the sooner they can buy sea salt and salted fish at half price!!!]
As his mind turned, Ru Taisu made further arrangements for the next allocation of funds to build concrete roads.
After confirming that the suggestion given by Shang Sheng Fan Bai to issue an excess of 10 million Guan of Ming Dynasty treasure notes, as well as the method of guiding people to consume, will not cause serious consequences of inflation.
Ru Taisu looked at Shang Sheng Fan Bai in front of him, his eyes even more respectful.
After all, leaving aside other aspects, in terms of economics, Shang Sheng Fan Bai's attainments are indeed higher than them, and not just one or two points higher, but two or three floors higher. high!!!
At least now Ru Taisu believes that Fan Bai is able to earn more than 100 million yuan in profit for the court this year.
Thinking of this, Ru Taisu also came up with a plan for establishing the [Da Ming Zhong Coal Enterprise], handed it over to Shang Sheng Fan Bai, and said with a little respect:
"This is the preliminary plan for the establishment of the [Damingzhong Coal Enterprise] that I and the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs have made before. Could you please Shang Sheng to see if there are any omissions that need to be added?
Or maybe there are errors that need to be corrected…………
Yan Changqing was not polite and directly took over the plan for establishing the [Da Mingzhong Coal Enterprise] and looked through it.
After the tea time passed, Yan Changqing also briefly read the plan for establishing the [Da Mingzhong Coal Enterprise], then closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said
“Too little!!!”
"In this plan, the number of [Daming briquette production enterprises] established in various parts of Daming is only a dozen.'
"Although judging from the scale of these more than ten [Daming briquette production enterprises], the amount of briquettes produced can probably meet the daily needs of 60 million people in the Ming Dynasty."
"However, except for the people in the state capital where each [Daming Briquette Production Enterprise] is located, because of the short distance and low transportation cost, they can purchase briquettes priced at two cents."
"People in other parts of the Ming Dynasty will see the cost of briquettes rise due to the long transportation distance. The price of briquettes that can be purchased in the end will be between three cents and five cents."
"Otherwise, if the price is lower than three cents, the court will also suffer losses due to the cost of long-distance transportation.'
"This is not conducive to the large-scale sales of briquettes!!!"
"Previously, I have also informed the Ministry of Household Affairs of the approximate locations of coal deposits in various parts of the Ming Dynasty that I know."
"In places where coal is stored, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development can establish one or more [Daming Honeycomb Coal Production Enterprises]."
“We won’t say that there is one [Daming Briquette Production Enterprise] in every state, but we should at least try to achieve an average of one [Daming Briquette Production Enterprise] in every two prefectures.”
"In this way, it can be produced nearby, transported nearby, and finally sold nearby, so that the transportation cost of briquettes can be reduced as much as possible, thereby increasing the profit from selling briquettes."
"As for other aspects, there is no big problem."
"The main thing to pay attention to is that when hiring ordinary people to produce briquettes, they must be hired voluntarily and come and go freely [try to avoid public resentment due to mining and production of briquettes."
"At the same time, the Ministry of Household Affairs, together with the Supervisory Yuan and Jinyiwei, must supervise local officials and the [Daming Briquette Coal Production Enterprise] to prevent anyone from maliciously bullying the people who are absent from work, or from harming the public, enriching private interests, and lining their own pockets."
Ru Taisu nodded, indicating that he knew.
Then he took the [Da Ming Zhong Coal Enterprise] plan re-delivered by Shang Sheng Fan Bai, and wrote all the suggestions that Yan Changqing just said on it. After preparation, he would discuss it with the officials from the Ministry of Household and improve it. .
In addition to the [Da Mingzhong Coal Enterprise] plan, there are various other plans previously made by the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Ru Taisu also took advantage of this rare opportunity to take out all of them and asked Shang Sheng Fan Bai to help check for leaks and fill in the gaps.
Yan Changqing is also very happy with this, after all, his various business plans are ultimately implemented through the household department.
It can be said that the household department is directly related to whether he can fulfill his promise of earning 100 million yuan this year.
Under such circumstances, even if Ru Taisu did not take the initiative to ask him to help check for leaks and fill in the vacancies 4.1, he would take the initiative to mention the matter to avoid problems in the implementation of his various business plans in the household department.
[However, the issuance of an additional 10 million guan of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes can be regarded as earning 10 million guan in another sense!!!]
[The progress of completing the small goal of earning 100 million yuan this year will only increase if it is reached!!!]
[Similarly, there are still nine months left in this year. If you calculate it this way, you will earn an average of 10 million yuan a month. The pressure is not too great, and you still have a good chance of completing it!!!]
Yan Changqing was looking at various business plans related to him in the household department, while thinking about his small goal of making 100 million yuan.
A few days later, Zhu Yuanzhang received a request from Ru Taisu, the Minister of Revenue, to issue an additional 10 million Guan of Ming Dynasty currency notes, and he agreed without much thought.
First, the content of the previous conversation between Yan Changqing and Ru Taisu had already been passed back to Zhu Yuanzhang by Jin Yiwei.
The second reason is that after reading the traffic between Yan Changqing and Ru Taisu, Zhu Yuanzhang also went to Yan Changqing again and confirmed with Yan Changqing whether the over-issuance of 10 million Guan Daming Tongbao banknotes was gone. question.
Only after receiving the promise that the issuance of an additional 10 million Guan of Ming Dynasty currency notes would not lead to inflation in the Ming Dynasty, and even if inflation finally occurred, Yan Changqing could control it, Zhu Yuanzhang went back with satisfaction.
That's why Zhu Yuanzhang agreed so simply after seeing the plan submitted by Ru Taisu for the issuance of an additional 10 million Ming Dynasty currency notes.
Ru Taisu, who was originally going to spend a lot of time explaining to Zhu Yuanzhang, instead saved a lot of time and didn't have to say a word.
