The fifth memorial is from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The Minister of Household Affairs is still vacant, and Nangong Ji, the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Imperial Guard of Wuyingdian University, is under temporary supervision.
But this temporary supervision has been in place for more than two years.
Nangong Ji's previous full-time title was "Deputy Prime Minister, Bachelor of Wuyingdian, Minister of the Imperial Guard, and Minister of the Wenyuan Pavilion".
Now he has been given the positions of deputy prime minister and minister of Wenyuan Pavilion office.
This time 75z*wz*.com* Zhang Si. Losing these two positions made it impossible for him to work in Wenyuan Pavilion, so he usually stayed in the household department. Only when Wenyuan Pavilion had something to discuss would they come to him.
In fact, if he hadn¡¯t thought that there was no one in the household department, the remaining bachelors and ministers of the bodyguard would have been dismissed.
¡°Look at Wang Feiteng, look at Zhang Xiang, look at Lin Zhenyuan Which of these still retains his position?
anyway.
The signer of this memorial was not Nangong Ji, but Luo Nanjing, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Luo Nanjing himself was supposed to be the Minister of Household Affairs in the past two months. Unexpectedly, something happened to Emperor Jinghe, and the matter was delayed.
But this did not affect Luo Nanjing¡¯s work efficiency and attitude. He is still very serious.
This is the most important memorial he has handed out since the New Year.
"Luo Nanjing, the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is here to report to the Emperor. Nowadays, the population of Dakang in our country is constantly increasing, and various military and civilian expenditures are constantly increasing. This has caused a shortage of funds in the Ministry of Household Affairs, which will be unsustainable within two or three years.
In order to preserve the millennium-old foundation, I hereby request the opening of trade with all land countries to increase commerce, increase material circulation, expand the income of handicraftsmen, the profits of merchants, and thus also increase commercial tax revenue! "
Liu Mingqi felt a little strange at first glance.
Logically speaking, Luo Nanjing¡¯s memorial should be the most important of all the memorials presented today, and it is also the most controversial.
Why is it placed in the fifth position?
????????????? And the Prime Minister hasn¡¯t taken it yet, so we¡¯ll wait until the meeting to report it in person?
强 牺   z h i w n . o   读 & When he thought, he understood a little again.
This is a group of prime ministers and ministers testing themselves.
They couldn¡¯t figure out what they were thinking, so they threw out such a memorial to test it out.
The original seclusion policy was a decision made by Emperor Jinghe and all the ministers.
At the time, Liu Mingqi didn¡¯t think there was anything wrong.
We are already at war with several neighboring countries. If you continue to do business with them and make them stronger, aren't you asking for trouble for yourself?
But now, this strategy seems to be a bit restrictive.
Dakang has gradually begun to recover, but the speed of recovery is far slower than the speed of spending money.
Therefore, the land commercial tax of 10 million taels of silver per year is also very important to Dakang.
Moreover, if we continue to increase the scale of development like this, it will increase greatly.
It would be even better if the commercial tax could be increased to 20 million taels of silver per year.
Commercial tax is not the most important thing. What is more important is how many small craftsmen, merchants, and various industries along the way can be supported by these businesses?
This is what makes ministers excited.
Relying on sea trade alone, no matter how good sea trade is, its risk is still much higher than that of land trade.
Therefore, even if they knew that the emperor must make a big voyage, they were not willing to give up the scale of mainland trade in Canada.
To them, there is nothing wrong with this.
Liu Mingqi also knew that before him, or in another world's trade, apart from the uniqueness of the Song Dynasty, the lifeline of the Central Plains dynasty was still land trade.
As long as people¡¯s vision does not go beyond this world, there will be no change.
After figuring this out, Liu Mingqi simply asked the five prime ministers, Nangong Ji and Luo Nanjing to have lunch together.
Liu Mingqi used to often eat with Jing Hedi in the palace, so he knew that everything on TV was fake.
"There are dozens or hundreds of dishes on a table, and the emperor only eats some of them, or takes them away and throws them away without eating at all. This is all nonsense.
In fact, except for a few emperors who like to waste their meals like this, most emperors eat normally.
The emperor'sMeal is four or five kinds of small pastries, a bowl of rice porridge or soy milk, milk, and one egg.
There will be a little more dishes for lunch, but there are only five or six kinds at most, and the quantity is not much.
In fact, if the emperor ate alone, he would often only have two or three dishes.
The dishes in the evening are even simpler, just two dishes and one soup.
If you are dining with the Queen Mother and the Queen¡¯s concubines, then add more.
last of the last.
If there is anything that has not been eaten, it is for the chief eunuch and the eunuchs in charge. There is not much waste.
But there are also times when it¡¯s different.
¡°For example, today, Liu Mingqi wanted to invite several ministers to dinner, so the imperial dining room prepared five dishes and one soup.
You read that right.
It¡¯s five dishes and one soup.
As long as it is not a state banquet such as the New Year's banquet, the emperor will use the meal-sharing system when entertaining guests alone.
"Otherwise, it would be disrespectful if you ask them to eat at the same table as the emperor - the emperor eats with his family in the palace, so they can sit at the same table together.
When eating, everyone can still chat together.
Zhida z.com Zhixiao. "Today's cucumber shoot was good." Liu Renhuai praised: "I like this very much in Jiangnan. It is simple and convenient, and you can even eat it raw."
"The craftsmanship of the imperial chefs has improved." Cao Yi, who has bad teeth, said, "For example, this braised pork becomes more fragrant and waxy after adding a little wine lees The cooks in Lao Chen's family can't do anything about it. It can¡¯t taste like this.¡±
"If nothing else, we have to thank His Majesty for improving pig breeding and writing the 'Pig Raising Secrets'. Otherwise, where would we find so many delicious foods?" Zhong Chang joked, "My family, I like to eat sausages and bacon every year, whether it¡¯s sweet or spicy, my family makes thousands of pounds of it, and I never seem to get tired of eating it every day.¡±
