Just when Zhu Youxiao was extremely irritable, Liu Ruoyu, who appeared as soon as the emperor returned to the palace, suddenly ran over to report, "Your Majesty, Xu Cifu led all the cabinet scholars, and Governor Sun led all the governors to come to visit. [Full text reading. 】”

His title is quite formal, there is nothing beyond it, even if Xu Guangqi has become the actual first assistant, but nominally he is still the second assistant, which he clearly distinguishes, and at the same time understands the emperor's mind and wants Xu Guangqi to be re-elected. Therefore, he never recklessly called Xu Guangqi as the first assistant.

"Let them in." Zhu Youxiao thought about it for a while, and let these ministers in, and the request of these people gradually restored his senses, and at the same time, he also realized that whether his descendants were male or female was a political issue.

Zhu Youxiao naturally does not have patriarchal thinking, or in other words, most modern people do not have such thinking, and even wish to have a daughter with many people, so they don't have to worry too much in the future. It's just that when you come to Daming, you have to consider it from Daming's thinking, and Zhu Youxiao can't help but be contaminated with some vices here, hoping that the first child is a boy, so that many things can be avoided.

"Your Majesty, Ministers."

More than a dozen people, as soon as they came, they knelt on the ground and paid homage, although this was not a formal occasion, but Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong still did it, it can only be said that the current emperor Tianzong genius, with his own unique and tough means, saved the decline of the Ming Dynasty, and brought it to life in just three years, this ability, the two of them thought they could not do.

Therefore, this worship is willing. What's more, now that the imperial power is high, there is always nothing wrong with being respectful, and many people don't blame this truth, and it is applicable everywhere.

"Settle down, everybody." Zhu Youxiao naturally didn't know what they were thinking, but asked knowingly, "What are the ministers asking to see this time?" ”

Zhu Youxiao's tone was also very polite, most of the emperors of Weiling's courtiers did not end well, there are many things that you can't do by him alone, and you also need the cooperation of your subordinates, so as long as it is not a formal occasion, Zhu Youxiao is still quite gentle.

"Hey, hey!" Sun Chengzong, who was most familiar with the emperor, smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed to the delivery room, there were many of them, the official authority was too heavy, and they were afraid of colliding with the fetus, so they didn't get closer, just stood in the distance, watching from afar.

"Alright, let's wait." Zhu Youxiao was helpless, everyone came, and he couldn't drive him away, so he could only wait for the result with a large group of fifty-year-old men.

He was in no mood to say anything, but it was obvious that someone didn't let him go, and he still relied on Sun Chengzong, who was familiar with him, and he came over with a thick face.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is here to tell you about the recent government affairs of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion!" He didn't look at the emperor's face, and went straight to the end.

Under Sun Chengzong's Balabala, although Zhu Youxiao was impatient, he still roughly understood the changes in the military across the country.

The first thing to say is the navy, which is now making great moves, buying cement everywhere to build various port stations, bases, maintenance shipyards and so on.

In just half a year, the five million taels of silver approved by Zhu Youxiao at the beginning had already spent three million taels, and such a large flow of silver money made those landlords and businessmen who had just lost a fortune from the cement trade smile for a while, and made them firmly believe that the cement franchise they bought at a great price was right.

Of course, the consequence is that there is no money, these three million taels are just the construction of ports in various parts of the country, in addition to overseas port bases, the expansion and recruitment of personnel, the equipment of clothing, and even the construction of warships, of course, that is a matter that belongs to the Ministry of Military Industry, not under the control of the Metropolitan Governor's Office.

In short, Old Man Sun has one meaning, the navy's money is running out, and he is coming with two million taels, barely enough to meet this year's expenses.

Seeing that the corners of Zhu Youxiao's mouth twitched, the navy wants seven million taels, and the army wants more this year, military salaries, equipment, shells, pensions, rewards, and so on are all a lot of expenses, although every war dividend can be made up, but it is all hidden, it takes time to bear fruit, and he will have to spend a lot of money in a short time.

If Colonel Zhu You of the Navy would not care about his words, then he really couldn't believe that the logistics department would ask for a construction cost of two million taels.

"Zuo Guangdou, what kind of warehouse and grain station do you want so much?" Zhu Youxiao glared angrily, and he couldn't even care about the child.

"Your Majesty, you listen to the minister's explanation."

It turned out that there were not only grain depot warehouses, but also barracks, dormitories, and school yards for garrisons in various places, which were found in every county and province, and although the logistics department had already taken the measures to minimize consumption, formulate military food suppliers, and buy grain from the General Food Administration, these infrastructure facilities were still needed.

"And that's just the initial investment, and there could be more to come." Zuo Guangdou said in a low voice, he knows that the Ming Emperor is stingy, and it is almost impossible to take money from them, although the saint is enlightened and generous today, but Zuo Guangdou feels that it is good to be able to get half of the two million taels.

It's just that he hasn't experienced Zhu Youxiao's boldness yet, he frowned, and after thinking about it, he waved his pen, "Forget it, I will give you three million taels, and when the official document is submitted, after I approve it, you will go to the bank to withdraw it." ”

"Ahh Zuo Guangdou was stunned, is this still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, not only did he not deduct it, but he also had an extra fifty percent, this is one million taels, and in the past, Meinianda gold and silver were only this number.

"What's too much!" Zhu Youxiao glanced at him, as if he felt a little distressed about his decision.

"No, no, how can there be too many ministers." Zuo Guangdou laughed again and again. ‘’

"Humph!" Zhu Youxiao snorted, and then saw that Bi Maokang seemed to be eager to come up and ask for money, and hurriedly interrupted, "Metropolitan Governor, you will go to the back and list a list of them, and if there is anything you want to use money, send them to me and show them." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Chengzong responded.

After his words, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion finally stopped, and since the emperor had spoken boldly, they were not entangled.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't have any opinion on the governors who wanted to pay for the accounts, he knew these things, it was a necessary infrastructure investment, and the investment was very large, just like the national road construction plan he launched at the moment, it was indispensable, but after it was completed, it could be used for a long time.

The benefits and convenience brought are also very obvious.

It's just that the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is over, but the cabinet is surrounded again.

"Your Majesty, allow the old minister to report on his work." Xu Guangqi relied on his age, and didn't care whether Zhu Youxiao was willing or not, he opened his mouth and began to chatter.

He and Sun Chengzong both understand that they will not return at this time, and wait until the decision is made, so when the child is really born, with the emperor's temperament, it is estimated that there is no time to deal with government affairs, seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, but after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor will not appear.

It is precisely because they know the emperor so well that the two of them report some things regardless of the occasion, and after saying it, the emperor will definitely take care of it, and as long as he thinks about it, he will deal with it.

"Your Majesty, this year's political achievements have been fruitful, and this month, according to the general statistics of various places, the commercial tax has exceeded 10 million taels of silver, especially in Shanghai County, which has passed the tax of 100,000 taels of silver, and the two prefectures of Guangdong and Tianjin are not bad. And Yan Yingyuan, who took the lead in reform, Your Majesty, what should these two do? ”

As soon as Xu Guangqi came up, he asked about the arrangement of talents.

"What to do? According to the normal promotion rotation procedure, when the fifth year of the Apocalypse is over, the two of them will be promoted first? Zhu Youxiao asked puzzled, this was the tone that had been set a long time ago.

"Ahem, that's true, but do excellent talents shine early!" Xu Guangqi said in an official tone.

Zhu Youxiao is very familiar with his appearance, there must be a vacancy somewhere, and there is no suitable candidate arrangement, so he fell in love with these two people.

"Tell me, where is there no prefect?" Zhu Youxiao asked directly.

"Your Majesty is wise, and the old minister guessed it before he could say it." Xu Guangqi patted a little fart, and then said, "It's the Dayuan Mansion and the Ryukyu Mansion." ”

"Big? Ryukyu? Hearing these two names, Zhu Youxiao was a little stunned.

These two names are really fascinating, that is the land that the Celestial Empire did not possess in the future, and now it is so easily taken into his pocket?

Dayuan and Ryukyu, since Zheng Zhilong and Yan Siqi surrendered, these two places have been taken over by the cabinet, and the big man said that it is no problem to set up a government, but what about Ryukyu, the islands in this place are scattered, but the actual land area is still small.

"Is there no problem with the establishment of a government in the Ryukyus?" Zhu Youxiao asked directly.

"Questions? Didn't Your Majesty say that territory depends not only on the land, but also on the sea? Although the land area of the Ryukyu Islands is small, there are many sea areas to which they belong, and the land on them is abundant, suitable for growing fruits and rice, and they are all good resettlement places. ”

Xu Guangqi's reasons made Zhu Youxiao have no opinions, these are all things he usually told him, but he didn't expect the other party to use them to persuade himself.

"Aiqing is reasonable, Ryukyu should set up a government." Zhu Youxiao nodded again and again.

"Then Your Majesty will see how these two should be divided." Xu Guangqi asked, "Excellent officials should be promoted as soon as possible to set an example." ”

His words seemed to imply, but Zhu Youxiao was careless and didn't hear it for a while.

Who is suitable?

Zhu Youxiao thought about it, he had heard of the reputation of these two people, they both had certain military talents, and their governance experience should be good, but after all, Lu Xiangsheng's pattern in later generations was bigger and his official position was higher, so he should be placed in a more important place.

"In this way, Lu Xiangsheng will go to be the prefect, and Yan Yingyuan will go to Ryukyu." He decided.

"That's it, Lao Chen's province." Xu Guangqi nodded, then opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a loud baby cry suddenly came from the delivery room over there.

For a while, whether it was Zhu Youxiao or the giants of the military and political circles, they all looked at the delivery room with complicated eyes, expectation, and worry.

The entire Kunning Palace was silent for a while, only the loud cry resounded through the sky.
