"This servant does not dare to speak nonsense about the matters of the previous dynasty!”
Wei Zhongxian fell to the ground with his head on the ground. He was nervous and afraid.
Kill all civil and military officials!
If he dared to talk to her about this, he would die.
"Stand up!"
Zhu Youxiao shook his head and threw away the unrealistic thoughts in his mind. He asked,"How much gold and silver are there in the national treasury and the treasury?”
"In the national treasury, there are five hundred thousand gold and six million silver!”
Wei Zhongxian regained his confidence when he was asked a professional question. He said,""There were originally one million gold and twenty million silver in the treasury. Now, all the gold and silver of the officials have been returned to the treasury, and the total value has exceeded sixty million!”
"How much is the annual income of the country?"
"The total value is about 20 million!"
"In that case, the silver from the treasury is the income of the country for three years. It is indeed a lot.”
Zhu Youxiao's mood was complicated. He muttered in a low voice, and the speed at which he waved the axe in his hand gradually increased.
This amount of silver might sound like a lot, but it was far from enough!
When the Later Jin Dynasty entered the pass and established a dynasty, their annual income was about 80 million taels of silver, four times that of the late Ming Dynasty. How many officials would have pocketed this!
Wei Zhongxian stood at the side and opened his mouth, then closed it again.
The reason why there were 30 million taels of silver in the treasury was that he had extorted a portion of it from the hands of the big mining officials. At the end of the Wanli period, there were only 10 million taels of silver in the treasury.
He wanted to take credit, but he couldn't say anything. It was really uncomfortable.
Mining taxes were a feature of the Wanli era. They collected taxes on non-metallic metals to provide for the consumption of the imperial palace, which also extended the Ming Dynasty for twenty-four years.
"What is the number of troops in the eleven towns on the nine sides? How much silver does the military spend every year?”
Zhu Youxiao could not get rid of all the corrupt officials in the dynasty in a short period of time. What he could do was to firmly control the army and drive away Nurhachi before settling the score.
"The nine sides and eleven towns have a total of over seven hundred thousand soldiers.”
"Where are the Embroidered Uniform Guards?"
"The Embroidered Uniform Guards have more than 100,000 members, spending a million silver every year.”
"From today onwards, the gold and silver used by the army will be paid for by the internal treasury. Civil officials and generals will be divided from today onwards. In the future, those who enter the imperial examination and want to join the army will have to participate in the military examination.”
"Emperor…"
Wei Zhongxian was stunned. He subconsciously wanted to stop her, but he was stopped by her words.
"The decree is to transfer Governor Sun Yuanhua to the capital to report on his work and be the examiner for the first martial arts examination!
Zheng Chongjian, the governor of Ningxia, was transferred to the capital to report on his work and become the deputy examiner for the first martial arts examination!
He ordered Sun Chengzong, the emperor's teacher, to take charge of the five armies 'Dudu Mansion, concurrently serve as the Grand Governor, control the Chinese and foreign military affairs, and give him the imperial sword. If anyone disobeys, he can kill him first and report later!
He ordered Lu Xiang, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, to be promoted to the Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies and take charge of Sima affairs.
He ordered Cao Wenzhao, the chief of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, to enter the Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies and lead the military.
Yang Sichang, a doctor of the new pay department of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing, was transferred to the capital to report on his work and enter the Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies to lead the experience.
Li Banghua, commander of Yizhou, was transferred to the capital to report on his work and entered the Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies to take charge of the affairs of the capital.”
Since the day it was established, the five armies were the highest management of the Ming Dynasty's military. They were divided into the central, left, right, front, and back armies, leading the entire country's army.
Speaking of which, this was a bit like the military and political affairs of the later generations, where they were in charge of different positions.
However, in recent years, the five military governors had been seriously harmed by the officials of the government, and the military strength of the country had seriously declined. Zhu Youxiao decided not to tolerate this anymore.
"Emperor, isn't the person who used him too imaginative?”
Wei Zhongxian had been scared silly by the series of appointments. He said bitterly,"Moreover, the people in charge of the five armies are all descendants of noble families. In the future, they will definitely have conflicts with the people appointed by the emperor.”
The entire upper echelons of Great Ming were divided into three types of people, the imperial family, the noble generals, and the civil officials.
In recent years, the royal descendants of the imperial clan had been enfeoffed all over the country. Their strength had never been gathered together, and their influence was neither great nor small.
Generals were made up of the founding generals, led by the Duke of England, Zhang Weixian. They represented almost the entire military, and all of the Nine Borderlines and Eleven Towns were generals.
The civil officials had already been introduced in the Imperial Court. The Donglin, Zhe, Chu, and Qi factions were extremely powerful and had the greatest authority in the world.
Since ancient times, the civil and military officials had never been on good terms. The noble generals and the civil officials were at odds with each other.
"Not removing the five governors is to give the noble generals a chance. The capable will be promoted, the mediocre will be demoted, and if there are still those who are useless, don't blame me for being heartless!”
Zhu Youxiao blew off the wood chips on his new work. A hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and then it turned cold.
Ding!"Congratulations to the host for completing an excellent woodworking work. Woodworking experience 2/0000, Carving experience 200, Strength 10.”

[Three-Star Work: Crossbow Arrow (Wooden Version)]
[Attribute: Strength 100, Defense Break 120]
Zhu Youxiao loaded the crossbow and aimed it at the rockery not far away. He gently pulled the trigger.
Boom!
The fake mountain was blasted into a palm-wide passage. It was obvious that the crossbow arrow did not reduce its strength. It only stopped after it ruthlessly nailed into an old tree.
"Gulp!"
Wei Zhongxian's throat was rolling, and he slapped himself hard. He cried and laughed,""This is not a dream!"
At this moment, as a martial artist, he felt a deep sense of despair. He had been practicing martial arts for decades, but he couldn't even take a wooden arrow!
In the dark, the old eunuch frowned and asked himself. Even if he could take the arrow just now, he would have to pay a great price.
However, these were not within Zhu Youxiao's consideration. Looking at the changes in the attributes in the system, he finally understood the power of the system.
