The Emperor of the Chinese Empire Zhang Ping'an returned to the imperial capital Chang'an and was welcomed by court officials and people from the city for twenty miles. The dozens of miles of official road were crowded with people watching the fun. The people placed incense tables on both sides of the road to offer fruits, expressing their respect in the most simple way. The Chinese Army's personal guard camp cavalry and the Huben camp cavalry were arranged on both sides of the official road. They were all wearing black armor and looking ahead. Behind them were the soldiers of the imperial capital military and horse soldiers.

These people held wooden sticks and wore battle knives to maintain order. The imperial officials arranged according to their positions. Duke Chen Zheng of Qin, Duke Lu Xiangsheng of Chu, and Prime Minister Chen Liang of Cabinet were wearing official robes in front, while the rest of the officials were behind. The Chinese Empire abandoned the traditional kneeling etiquette, and officials and nobles all bowed to the emperor. The emperor Zhang Ping'an, who liked to ride horses, accepted the worship on the tall dark horse and then rolled over and dismounted. He walked through the crowd of officials to greet them.

Then, Emperor Zhang Ping'an got on the horse again. He entered the city with Duke Chen Zheng of Qin and Duke Lu Xiangsheng of Chu. Duke Chen Zheng of Qin and Duke Lu Xiangsheng of Chu, the two of them were behind the emperor's horse to show respect for the emperor. Faced with the crowd of people wearing colorful singing and dancing, Emperor Zhang Ping'an felt a lot of emotion. The people of the empire are simple, and as long as the emperor is sincere to them, they will naturally be supported by the people. Over the years, the Chinese Empire has had good weather.

The people's life is gradually becoming rich without taxes. The Ming Empire, which was once regarded as orthodox, has long been forgotten by the people. The people of this era are still relatively superstitious. Compared with the natural disasters in the late Ming Dynasty and the current harvest, the people took it for granted that Emperor Zhang Ping'an was a god who came down to earth and came specifically to save the suffering people in the world. With this impression, the people no longer pursued Emperor Zhang Ping'an as a slave.

This time, Emperor Zhang Ping'an's personal campaign for Sulu was not a big battle, so the victory ceremony was not so grand. After returning to the palace, Zhang Ping'an feasted the ministers, he ignored his hard work and took stock of the gold inventory in the treasury with the imperial concubine Ji Yuehe. To be honest, this imperial concubine Ji Yuehe was indeed a good at managing finances. In recent years, the gold reserves in the treasury reached 2.7 million taels, which made Zhang Ping'an so happy that he praised Ji Yuehe as a virtuous supporter in the harem. Emperor Zhang Ping'an was old and did not pursue women so strongly. His biggest hobby now is to fight with strong enemies on the unpredictable battlefield. Zhang Ping'an, who had just experienced the Battle of Manila, could only hide his dreams in his heart, and he still had to wait for the right time. For this reason, Zhang Ping'an, who returned to the empire, began to go to court to discuss state affairs with the court officials every day.

Soon, Emperor Zhang Ping'an issued a clear edict, and the Duke of Chu, Lu Xiangsheng, was presided over the establishment of the Academy of Merits, and proposed that Lu Xiangsheng be appointed as the Yuan of the Academy of Merits. The ministers of the court focused on the establishment of the Academy of Merits, and Emperor Zhang Ping'an quietly summoned the new general manager of the Office of Internal Affairs Chu Tianshou. Earlier, during the defeat of the slave army, Wang Qinghe, the supervisor of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of Zhang Ping'an, was killed for false orders, and the responsibilities of the Office of Internal Affairs were always managed by the outer court. This time, Emperor Zhang Ping'an made

Chu Tianshou, who has the title of God of Wealth in the Chinese Empire, served as the chief supervisor of the Interior Department, and mainly asked Chu Tianshou to raise money for his future wars. Although the imperial concubine Ji Yuehe is good at managing finances, to put it bluntly, Ji Yuehe is more stingy. In addition, there is no large group of eunuchs in the harem, so the cost of the inner court is naturally low without these greedy eunuchs. Emperor Zhang Ping'an was born in a difficult time, and he was proficient in extra mathology, so few people could deceive him in money.

Emperor Zhang Ping'an had a wide range of wealth. In addition to more than 30 gold mines in the empire, there were four largest warehouses in the empire, not to mention the crystal mirror of the emperor's Mingfeng world. With these sources of money, Zhang Ping'an not only had the confidence to speak, but the courtiers could not restrain the emperor's behavior in money at all. This time, Emperor Zhang Ping'an gave Chu Tianshou an errand, asking him to raise 8 million taels of silver in two years. Zhang Ping'an, his own person, did not keep a secret. He bluntly stated that he would prepare to expedition to the Ottoman Empire and the Ross Empire, and to cause major casualties to the Blade Army for their attack on the Wututzu Grassland. In Chu Tianshou's eyes, Emperor Zhang Ping'an's reason was too far-fetched and was not convincing. But Chu Tianshou could not say it clearly. He just smiled and nodded and increased the 8 million silver limit proposed by the emperor to 10 million taels.

As a master of accounting, Chu Tianshou was appointed as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for only two months, and he basically found out the family of Emperor Zhang Ping'an. There were four places where Emperor Zhang Ping'an spent the most money every year, including the Navy, the Golden Wolf Camp, the Academy and his secret test workshop. Among them, the Navy spent the most money, and the Emperor used 4 million taels of silver to buy warships for the Navy every year. Of course, part of the food and salary of the Navy officers and soldiers was also allocated from the inner treasury, and the main part was paid by the court tax. But the emperor just watched him spend the money, but he did not see that the Navy eliminated old warships every year, and could receive more than 1.7 million taels of silver from the Maritime Merchant Alliance and the Royal Four Seas Commercial Bank. Emperor Zhang Ping'an controlled the exercise of the imperial gold and silver coins, but actually controlled the financial power of the entire empire. The imperial pays the officials and the Chinese soldiers of the imperial army must be redeemed by the Royal "Yin Guangju" silver building.

The reason is that the territory of the empire is too vast. Only the royal "Yin Guangju" silver building has the financial resources to spread the entire empire. At the same time, various commercial banks and merchants need to buy goods on the border and cannot carry a large amount of silver and money with them. They need to exchange them through "Yin Guangju", and "Yin Guangju" also lends to the empire's large commercial banks to collect appropriate interest. Of course, exchange gold and silver coins. Therefore, the royal "Yin Guangju" silver building with thousands of semicolons in the empire's territory and vassal states became the most profitable transaction for the emperor. Everyone knows that the "Yin Guangju" silver building is the emperor's transaction, and no one dares to cause trouble in the Chinese Empire and vassal states. The profit of the "Yin Guangju" silver building alone is enough for the emperor to deal with the daily expenses.

Although the secret test workshop of Emperor Zhang Ping'an consumed a lot of money, some of the items produced by the workshop were purchased by the merchants, which could achieve balance of income and expenditure. The reason why Chu Tianshou was confident that he had raised tens of millions of silver for the emperor was that Emperor Zhang Ping'an had always had a blind spot that he had not noticed when he was making money, that is, the vassal states rarely paid tribute to the emperor. Over the past decade, among the several large vassal states of the empire, only the American Empire Emperor Zhang Shangwu sent 110,000 taels of gold to his father. The other wealthy Nanyang Empire and Tianzhu Kingdom seemed to have forgotten that they should be filial to the emperor, and they only knew that poverty would be used to extract benefits from the empire. Others may not know the inside story, but Chu Tianshou, who is familiar with the commerce of the empire, knew very well that these vassal states had found a large amount of gold mines, and letting them pay gold for their father was to give them a chance to fulfill their filial piety.

Shortly after the emperor summoned Chu Tianshou, Chu Tianshou wrote letters to the Nanyang Empire and the Tianzhu Kingdom in the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In the letter, Chu Tianshou mentioned that although their mother country was rich, adult children were also needed to be filial to set an example for the people of the entire empire. Chu Tianshou knew very well that the emperor's sons were like their fathers, all of whom were only in and out of the country. Therefore, Chu Tianshou clarified in the letter to the Ministry of Internal Affairs that each vassal state needed to offer gold, and he forced these greedy emperors and kings to show sincerity of filial piety. Chu Tianshou, the chief manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was not afraid that this incident would arouse criticism from the court officials. It was not the emperor's family matter and the court officials were just talking about it. In the summer of the 26th year of China, Zhang Shangren, the king of the Tianzhu Kingdom who received the letter, responded first.

Although Chu Tianshou wrote a letter to a vassal state in the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it attracted great attention from King Zhang Shangren of the Tianzhu Kingdom, and he was not sure whether Chu Tianshou wrote this letter was instructed by his father Zhang Ping'an. Chinese tradition emphasizes filial piety and righteousness to govern the country and the family. Regardless of whether this person is really filial or not, at least he must show his filial piety in the scene. Otherwise, as the king of a country, they will not only be scolded to death by their court officials, but they are also afraid that their descendants will follow suit and do not filial to them. Therefore, Chu Tianshou in the letter

He asked for 300,000 taels of gold from the Kingdom of Heaven, and the King of Heaven, Zhang Shangren, took out 500,000 taels of gold to pay tribute to the Emperor of the Chinese Empire. Zhang Shangren also wrote a memorial to Emperor Zhang Ping'an, thanking his father Zhang Ping'an for his kindness for raising and supporting. The sons of the old Zhang family were all agile. Zhang Shangren cried and said in the memorial that the first state of the Kingdom of Heaven was complicated and could not be filial to his father, and he was uneasy. As long as the father called him, he immediately gave up the throne and took his son back to the empire to celebrate with his father.

After saying good things, Zhang Shangren did not forget to give his brothers a pill, saying that the country of Tianzhu had experienced wars and was not as good as other vassal states, but he had to make his father happy for his father. Although Zhang Shangren did not mention his brothers' words, everyone could understand the connotation of his complaint. After receiving the memorial from his son Zhang Shangren and the gold he sent, Emperor Zhang Ping'an was very happy. He kept praising Chu Tianshou for being the God of Wealth in the Empire. Since Zhang Shangren was the first to be the first to give, Emperor Zhang Ping'an still issued an order, first commending Zhang Shangren's filial piety, and then elevating Tianzhu to the Empire. Not only that, the emperor also expanded the territory of Tianzhu and assigned most of the Mughal territory to Tianzhu. Of course, the Bangladesh province was not within the scope of the reward, and Emperor Zhang Ping'an also needed to flow out an extra sea outlet to the empire.

The power of role models is infinite. Soon, the American Empire Emperor Zhang Shangwu also sent 700,000 taels of gold to his father to express his son's filial piety to his father. With this one.2 million taels of gold, Emperor Zhang Ping'an had the capital to conquer the Ottoman Empire and the Ross Empire. However, the performance of the Nanyang Empire Emperor Zhang Shangde was not so considerate. He only took out 30,000 taels of gold perfunctorily. Originally, the Chinese Emperor Zhang Ping'an was dissatisfied with Zhang Shangde's loan to the British to the south of the Nanyang Empire. This time he neglected his father so much, so Zhang Ping'an naturally had to teach this rebellious son a lesson. It was not a trivial matter to punish the emperor Zhang Shangde of the vassal state. Emperor Zhang Ping'an first wanted to create public opinion, so that Zhang Shangde lost his moral advantage to completely overthrow him in one go, so that he would never have the chance to turn over.
