I

There have been quite a lot of quarrels these days, nothing more than Liu Rushi entering the palace, the royal family does not buy private property, and overseas development.

First, Liu Rushi's entry into the palace was indeed insufficient, and this was the author's fault.

Second, the royal family does not buy private property. To be honest, it is useless to own private property. The income of the royal family of Ming Dynasty mainly relied on Jinhuayin, Huangzhuanghuangdian and eunuchs to exploit places.

Jinhuayin made the people of Zhejiang and Shaanxi miserable, and the rise of bandits in the Northwest is also inseparable from Jinhuayin. Moreover, the gold flowers and silver collected had to be used to pay the salaries of military officials, not the royal family alone.

Huangzhuang Huangdian.

Huangzhuang is to enclose the land of the common people and let the common people be tenants for the emperor. Most of Huangzhuang's income was divided up by the eunuchs, and even in the name of Huangzhuang, the eunuchs occupied the land privately.

The imperial store does not operate the imperial store, but the eunuchs set up tax offices in various places under the name of the emperor.

The eunuchs exploited the place, Wanli did the best, and a large number of mine supervisors and tax envoys were thrown out. The eunuch casually pointed to a certain household and said that this household had a mine and had to pay back the mine tax. The emperor takes the small head, and the eunuchs share the big head.

How could Zhao Han engage in these things?

The emperor had too much power, and once he bought private property, no matter if he used eunuchs or female officials, it was impossible to manage private property seriously. It will develop into the paper industry in Qianshan. The official paper mill does not produce, and the official craftsmen do private work for eunuchs and officials. When the imperial court wanted to use paper, it contracted some merchants to buy it, and those merchants lowered the price and exploited private paper mills.

The inner court of the Ming Dynasty also opened many factories, which can be regarded as the private property of the royal family. But in less than a hundred years, all the factories of the royal family were abandoned. Not only could they not generate profits, but the royal family had to subsidize money to support them.

If Zhao Han asked the royal family to open a factory, he would definitely end up in the same way. After a hundred years, the royal family would not be able to make any money by raising a bunch of idlers, so they would have to spend money to support administrators and workers.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty had a lot of private property. In the middle and late stages, it all depends on exploiting the people and taking money from the state treasury by the way, and those private properties are basically useless.

Third, overseas development.

I will write slowly in the future, and the loopholes you mentioned will be filled.

Moreover, some loopholes are intentionally left.
