3000 million tans of grain is enough to feed the entire Shaanxi people for a year without working. What's more, the Chinese people are a nation that is very attached to the land. Even in a disaster year, they want to sow hope for the coming year on the land.

Therefore, Li Mu prepared a new gift for this hard-working nation, a kind of drought-resistant grain, so that they can sow seeds smoothly even in disasters, and sow hope for the next year.

They can rely on their hands to obtain food through labor. As long as they have food in their hands, this hard-working nation is unwilling to do this kind of uprising and rebellion.

Relying on hardworking hands to change life, there is no reason for farmers to rebel in the Central Plains.

Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others can only be submerged in the history that Li Mu understands.

Having said so much, Li Mu still cannot avoid a very real problem, that is how to quickly change the taxation of the imperial court.

The more than 1 million taels of silver will always be spent. Only by finding new sources of income can the entire Ming Dynasty be able to operate normally, and the reform of the military system and the regularization of the army can be effectively sustained.

It can be said that without money, everything will be difficult to carry out. It will be very difficult for Li Mu to carry out any transformation of Daming smoothly in the future.

No matter whether it is the army, the imperial court, or the local people, the people, and even future disaster relief cannot escape a single word of money.

Ask a country, what does the government do to make the most money?Maybe someone will say oil extraction?Reselling resources?Population trading, etc., these are all ways of making money that an ordinary person can think of, but they are not the most profitable.

If you say what is the most profitable business for a country, Li Mu would say that it is currency issuance, and only the country is qualified to do this business, dare to do this business.

If other people dare to do it, the only end is beheading, ransacking their homes and destroying their families.

The benefits of currency issuance can be said to be extremely large. As long as one controls the right to issue currency in this plane, it is equivalent to controlling the economic lifeline of a country and controlling the pockets of the people.

Some people say that even if you have the right to issue currency, you can't print currency casually. If you print casually, wouldn't that cause the currency in the hands of the people to depreciate?

Wrong, printing currency is also one of the interests of issuing currency, and it is also the biggest profit part.

Li Mu knows one thing, the United States can always get through the financial crisis safely, and the method it uses is to spread the financial crisis of its own country to the whole world.

To be precise, it is equally distributed to those countries that reserve the US national currency.

How to pass it on?The method is to increase the printing of currency, devalue the U.S. currency reserved by those countries, and forcibly spend money from those countries that reserve U.S. currency.

By analogy, the biggest benefit of a country's currency issuance is actually to gradually depreciate the currency held by the people of the country.

Of course, the methods used in this are not necessarily all printing money. There are always many ways in finance to obtain sufficient benefits from the issued currency.

Abolishing the old currency and issuing a new currency is a good way.

Currency is the economic foundation of a country, and it is also the place to control the people's livelihood of a country. It can also control the loyalty of the army.

And Li Mu's way of making money for the taxation of the Ming Dynasty is to gradually reform the currency issuance of the Ming Dynasty. This is the fastest and best way to get money.

However, Li Mu did not intend to allow the imperial court to preside over the reform and issuance of the Ming currency. In order to firmly control the imperial court, he will use internal funds to establish the Daming Royal Bank to carry out this reform and issue new Ming currency.

Things don't happen overnight. The new currency reform and issuance in Ming Dynasty needs to be done slowly. Not only must the issue of anti-counterfeiting be considered, but also the issue of silver reserves must be taken into consideration.

It is impossible to rely on the [-] million taels of silver in the imperial palace alone for the entire silver reserve of the Great Understanding, especially since the reform of the military system, the [-] million taels of silver will be spent like running water. It's over.

Another point is how to improve the anti-counterfeiting of currency. When issuing new currency in Daming, it is impossible for Li Mu to use silver as the main currency. Paper money is king, and copper coins are supplementary.

Especially from the Jiaozi used for business transactions in the Song Dynasty to the banknotes popularly used in the Ming Dynasty today, they are all common banknotes in ancient times, and it is even more impossible for him to change them and go back.

The benefits of issuing banknotes are even more criminal than metal currency. It can be said that metal currency is sometimes a damn money-losing product.

The issue of silver reserves, the issue of anti-counterfeiting of banknotes, these are all problems that can only be solved on the normal plane after Li Mu returns to the normal plane.

That is to say, the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty can start issuing currency only after Li Mu returns from his original plane next time.

The most important thing now is the reform of the military system, as well as the issue of the Liaodong border defense. As long as the stubborn disease of Jurchen is solved, the turmoil in the Ming Dynasty will be a minor problem, and Li Mu can play around and play around at will.

Chapter 261 Lecture in the Martial Arts Hall!Two chapters in one (adding more chapters to the leader "Happy Novice"!)

"The Empress Dowager, the ministers and others reported nothing. (www.MianHuaTang.la Mian, Hua'tang'xiao'speak')"

The Xiaochaohui is more like a private discussion meeting, so there are not many rules of the Taihe Palace Chaohui. The officials saw that the problem of money needed for the reform of the military system was resolved, and there was nothing to do, so they were ready to go back and start to set up a statistical team. .

"That's good, all my lovers have worked so hard for the imperial court. The Ai family is here to thank you all." Zhang Yan said gently, without getting up from the dragon chair.

When the ministers of the Ministry of War heard what the Queen Mother said, they were moved and said: "Thank you Queen Mother for your pity, these are all matters of the minister's duty."

"All ministers are the pillars of the country." Praise does not require money, and Zhang Yan has never been stingy about it.

At this time Li Mu interjected: "Queen Dowager, I suggest that during the reform period of the military system, the imperial court can follow the example of Guozijian and establish the Royal Academy of Martial Arts. Famous generals will personally teach these students the art of war."

"This?" Zhang Yan was a little uncertain and didn't know what to say, so she hesitated and said, "Li Aiqing, is this feasible?"

Li Mu's words also made the ministers who were about to leave stop, with unbelievable expressions on their faces, wondering why the Royal Academy of Martial Arts came out just after the reform of the military system.

Monster, this is to put the status of a military officer on the same level as a civil servant, and compare them.

As we all know, the status of military officials in the late Ming Dynasty was very low under the suppression of the Donglin Party, which was a civil official group.

It can be seen that the status of the military officer in the late Ming Dynasty was suppressed to what extent.

Li Mu wanted to use this method to indirectly improve the status of the generals of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time strengthen the centralized control of the army.

Li Mu intends to let Zhang Yan, the queen mother, take up the post of dean of the Daming Imperial Martial Arts Institute. Thinking about it, he is very excited. The indirect mentor of a group of soldiers is a woman, a woman, a woman.

Every time when the students of the first class graduate, Zhang Yan goes to preside over the graduation ceremony in person, and prepares some medals for these soldiers to wear.

If those soldiers knew about Li Mu's bad taste now, would they kill him?

Maybe, but you can't change your fate.

Because Li Mu has already replied: "It is feasible for the Queen Mother to establish the Royal Academy of Martial Arts."

Seeing this, Zhang Yan looked at the Ministry of War and said, "What's the opinion of the Ministry of War?"

What do we have to say?He, Li Mu, said that it is feasible, and you, the queen mother, also expressed the intention of agreeing. Think we are stupid, can't you see it?

"The ministers think it's acceptable." The officials of the Ministry of War nodded aggrievedly as if they had eaten flies, and agreed.

In Daming, all senior military officers were civil servants, and when a real military commander reached the position of commander in chief, he was considered to have reached the end of his official position.

If this so-called martial arts academy is built, it is obvious that those warriors will have a bright future, and have the opportunity to climb to the top of these civil officials.

Zhang Yan didn't care about that, since the Ministry of War also thought it was acceptable, she said: "Then set up this Daming Royal Academy of Martial Arts, let those talented people come in and learn the art of war, and make contributions to our Ming Dynasty."

"The ministers are waiting for the order." The official of the Ministry of War asked after receiving the order: "Queen Mother, I don't know who will be the president of the Royal Academy of Martial Arts."

"The post of dean?" Zhang Yan hesitated for a while, then looked at Li Mu and said, "Since Li Aiqing proposed this matter, why not let Li Aiqing take over."

"No, the queen mother." Li Mu also planned to train Zhang Yan to be the dean, and to play tricks on the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, how could he let him be the dean himself, and said: "The queen mother, I suggest that the queen mother should be the dean, which seems right. The generals admitted to the hospital attach great importance to it, and it can also serve as an incentive to make them more loyal to Daming and make contributions to Daming."

"Is it okay?" Zhang Yan saw Li Mu gave her an encouraging look, and although she felt inappropriate, she nodded and said, "Then Aijia will be the head of the Royal Academy of Martial Arts."
