Now Fat House Wanli is more and more like to stay in the Royal Racecourse, because here he does not have to be restrained, and everything revolves around him, he can do the office in the position he likes, unlike in the palace, the last thatched house may have to avoid those red tape.

Just like now, he did not meet Guo Dan in the office, but discussed very important business with Guo Dan while playing pills.

I also have to say that when I came to the sunny royal horse farm and came out to exercise from time to time, Wanli's face was much better than staying in the palace.

"Your Majesty, do you say that when those ministers know that Luzon has been included in my Ming territory, will they be very surprised?"

Guo Dan stood aside, looked at the emperor who was about to hit the ball, and asked.

Wanli smiled slightly and said, "It's sure to be surprised, but they are not interested in the land of Luzon, they will just be surprised, when I will send troops, how they don't know." ”

With that, he swung his club and hit a ball.

Bang Bang Bang!

Guo Dan hurriedly applauded and flattered: "Your Majesty's ball skills have really been perfected, and your humble position is no longer Your Majesty's opponent." ”

Licking the dog has everything.

Wanli laughed, and as he walked forward, he asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”

Guo Dan's expression changed, and he said: "Back to Your Majesty, the next step can be to solve the problem of Caoyun, I think this is already an imminent problem, Caoyun has bound many people, and at the same time brought a heavy burden to the state capital along the way, a lot of money is used for Caoyun, which is not conducive to the development of industry, agriculture and commerce, once the shackles of Caoyun are lifted, the finance will inevitably go to a higher level." ”

Wanli suddenly stopped, turned his head, and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

In fact, he is also eager to solve the problem of Cao Yun, after all, Cao Yun is not a treasure, just a product of desperation, not that the emperor wants, but there is no way, in a sense, it also checks and balances the imperial power, who wants to move Cao Yun, the emperor may not even have to eat.

As a result, often there are problems with this Cao Yun, and the emperor has to carry it for them, and many people in history rebelled from Cao Gong.

Guo Dan said: "There is a certain certainty of the lowly position, then the Luzon and Penghu areas can produce a large amount of grain, and the locals will definitely not be able to eat it, so the remaining grain can be sold directly from the sea to Tianjin Wei, so as to weaken the role of Caoyun step by step, and at the same time on the canal, Fengchi Group will compete with Caoyun, but because there has been no news from Luzon, the lowly position has not done its best to deal with Caoyun." ”

Wanli said with appreciation: "I didn't expect you to think about it more carefully, after all, this luck is related to the safety of the country, but you must be cautious, try Luzon and Penghu first, you can be sure that nothing goes wrong!" ”

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, "That's right! Will sea freight also be counted in the Fengchi Group? ”

Guo Dan was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Wanli asked anxiously: "In this way, the shares of Fengchi Group will definitely rise." ”

Guo Dan nodded again.

Wanli asked, "How much do you estimate it will rise?" ”

Guo Dan blinked and said: "This humble position has not been specifically calculated, but once it monopolizes my country's overseas transportation, it is possible to multiply it several times." ”

"How many times?" Wanli looked at Guo Dan very excitedly, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

"The lowly and lowly also just learned that Luzon had won." Guo said lightly.

Wanli muttered: "If I knew this, I would have bought the shares of Fengchi Group." ”

"Huh?"

Guo Dan reacted suddenly, and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to monopolize overseas transportation, you must rely on strength, after all, the sea is a place where the weak and strong eat, which requires the support of the Grand Canyon, and when the Fengchi Group doubles several times, the Grand Canyon doesn't know how many times it has increased." ”

"Really?" Wanli asked with wide eyes.

"I don't dare to deceive Your Majesty." Guo Dan said: "Not only overseas, but also the war with Dongwu, and the possibility of a conflict with Japan in the future. ”

Wanli nodded and asked, "Do you think now is the best time to deal with Dongwu?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Sending troops to Dongwu can not only make the Grand Canyon to a higher level, but also promote reform." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Wanli hurriedly asked.

Guo Dan said: "If you bypass the imperial court, these grains and grasses need to be bought, which will stimulate those big landlords, and can also prompt them to annex land and increase their own grain production, but this annexed land is not the other annexed land, according to the calculation of the lowly position, they will adopt the peasant system, because this will earn more, then they will force the tenant farmers to leave the land, lose the people, empty land, they are just an insignificant businessman, there is no need to worry." ”

Wanli nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Do you have a detailed report?" ”

He likes to read Guo Dan's financial reports very much, which will give him a very specific idea.

Guo Dan said: "The humble position is ready. ”

At this time, Zhang Cheng suddenly walked over, "Your Majesty, Shen Shoufu and they are here." ”

Wanli nodded and said, "Let them go to the residence to rest first, and I will see them tomorrow." ”

"Yes."

A lot of things happened last year, and Wanli bypassed the imperial court to execute, but now that the war is over, he hasn't given a clear answer to what to do, he just waited for Guo Dan to increase his shares before announcing it.

Then Wanli also wants to discuss the specific details with Guo Dan, and then go to a meeting with Shen Shixing and them.

And Shen Shixing is really not easy for them, this cabinet is really a nest, Zhang Ju is not easy to help the cabinet fight for power, and now it is not as good as before, they are about to become a group of tool people.

Now that he has been summoned by the emperor, he almost didn't cry and fainted.

It's really not easy!

The next morning, when the sun was on the third pole, Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, Xu Guo, Shen Yiyi, Fang Fengshi, Chen Younian, and Li Sancai finally waited for the emperor.

"I summoned you Aiqing today because I have something not very important to tell you. Not long ago, the Jinyi Guard had occupied the whole of Luzon and set up a guard in the Penghu area. Wanli said lightly.

He is also obsessed with the pleasure of pretending.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Shen Shixing and they were stunned.

After a while, Shen Shixing asked, "Your Majesty, how come the ministers have never heard of this?" ”

"It's a secret mission, I didn't tell anyone." Wanli Road.

Shen has always been curious: "Your Majesty, why do we want to seize Luzon, that side is too far away from the Central Plains, and the imperial court is difficult to control." ”

Wanli said: "Without the control of the imperial court, I decided to assign Luzon to the Lu Wangfu, and at the same time exempt the Lu King from all taxes in the Central Plains. ”

Everyone listened and looked at each other.

They suddenly thought, this seems like a good thing!

Wanli said with a smile: "Since Jiajing, the imperial court has to spend millions of taels every year to supply the vassal king, which has brought a heavy burden to the treasury and the people, and you have also mentioned this to me.

In order to reduce the burden on the treasury and the people, I decided to send Jinyi Wei to open up overseas islands and supply the vassal kings with the benefits of the islands, but I also knew that this would attract the opposition of many vassal kings, and King Lu was my dear brother, so I discussed with King Lu and asked him to try it first, if it worked, those vassal kings would naturally not object. ”

Oops!

It's true!

What a misunderstanding of the fat house!

I didn't expect him to be really heartbroken for the country's finances.

Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, they immediately knelt on the ground and shouted Your Majesty!

"Excuse me!"

Wanli behaved very calmly and said: "The cabinet intends to announce to the world that Luzon has been included in my Ming territory." ”

As for the Penghu area, it has already been included, but no one has been sent to take care of it, so there is no need to announce it to the world.

"Wechen obeys."

Wanli said again: "Fang Shangshu." ”

"The minister is here."

Fang is a salute at the right time.

Wanli waved his hand, and Li Gui immediately handed a piece of music to Fang Fengshi.

Wanli said: "This is what Li Rusong handed over, about the process of the Banzhou Campaign, which tells about the importance of firearms, and I have decided that from this year, the Grand Canyon will provide firearms for the Liaodong Army." ”

Li Sancai immediately stood up, "Your Majesty! ”

Wanli didn't seem to hear it, and said to himself: "This money is allocated by Taifu Temple. ”

Li Sancai suddenly looked embarrassed and retreated.

Wanli said: "I am not taking care of the Grand Canyon, but the facts have shown that the firearms produced by the imperial court are far inferior to the Grand Canyon, and the Ministry of Industry is very disappointed by me, and now the water conservancy matter is borne by the banknotes, and the Ministry of Industry should not still have too much tax revenue." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand again, and Li Gui handed another edict to Shen Shixing.

Wanli said: "This is calculated by me entrusting Fang Yuan Xinxing, I want to disband the Ministry of Industry to get some manufacturing bureaus, and allocate those taxes to the Taifu Temple and the Senate, after all, it takes money to promote reform!" ”

Li Sancai immediately said: "Your Majesty, the treasury of the Taifu Temple is already very full, Hubu!" ”

Wanli immediately said: "If you want to say that I repair the palace and hold a wedding banquet, the household department says that there is no money, and I can understand it, but in recent years, this water conservancy construction, the household department said that there is no money, the Banzhou war, the household department said that there is no money, Ningxia is in turmoil, the household department also says that there is no money, I sent troops to Luzon, and I don't even dare to ask the household department for money, for fear of seeing your aggrieved face, I can only pay out of my own pocket to fight."

But this is more active than anyone else, then Weihui Mansion is one day late to pay taxes, and the household department begins to cry and call for mother, I don't understand, where is the money of this household department used, what does the money of the household department have to do with the safety of the country, and what does it have to do with the country's social security? Among the six departments, the status of the household department is second only to the official department, but the role that can play a role is getting smaller and smaller, and even if there is, it is negative. ”

Li Sancai's face was flushed, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

This is a king and a loser!

If you lose, you have to bear the consequences, and after two wars, the household department has not allocated a penny, and the fat house has not weakened their household department, so they are already very considerate.

The key is that he doesn't need to borrow money from the household department from time to time as before, which of course will not give the household a good look.

Wanli said: "Regarding the war between our dynasty and Dongwu, it has lasted for many years, so that my Ming is a loss of face, when will this monkey dare to pluck the hair on the tiger's head, I have been determined to end this war, it just so happens that the Huguang Shenji battalion is in Banzhou, I will order them to continue to go south to eliminate Dongwu in one fell swoop." However, I also know that the treasury is empty, and it is not appropriate to mobilize the people, and I will borrow money from the Yinuoya Bank, and will not use the money from the treasury. ”

Li Sancai is sensible this time, if he is not sensible, this household department will really become more and more marginalized, and he will not be able to catch up with any major events, so why do he still keep the household department, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the treasury can still get the money." ”

"Forget it."

Wanli waved his hand and said, "I have already borrowed this money, so let's keep the money of the household department first!" ”

Fang Fengshi blinked, there was still a battle, he also let it go, and stood up and said, "Your Majesty!" ”

As soon as the words came out, Wanli directly interrupted him, "I know that Fang Aiqing has always wanted to share my worries, and I am also very moved, but you don't need Fang Aiqing to go out in person, Fang Aiqing is in the capital to take care of his health, because according to the news I have learned, there may be a bigger war breaking out in the border area of my Daming." ”

All the ministers present looked at Wanli blankly.

How much are you hiding from us, and how come we don't know anything?

We!

Chen Younian, as the head of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, of course felt very depressed, so he asked, "Your Majesty, what kind of war?" ”

Wanli said with a smile: "You first deal with the major affairs of the country, as for these small things, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Fools know that Wanli is sarcastic about them.

Wang Jiaping said: "Your Majesty, the matter of the country's capital is related to the Jiangshan Sheji, and the soldiers are also related to the Jiangshan Sheji!" ”

Wanli said directly: "But in the past two years, I have always been eager to work hard, and I have told you countless times, and I have also done some things, but in addition to the national capital, which thing is related to you, I don't know what you have been doing in the past few years, but I will not waste time on you anymore, I can afford to wait, Daming can't afford to wait!" ”

"The ministers are guilty!"

The ministers knelt down in unison.

They are also sad in their hearts, in fact, Wanli has done everything, and they want to do it, but they don't know why, it has nothing to do with them.

They really don't know what they're doing.

"It's an exaggeration to talk about sin, so get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shen Shixing and the others had just stood up, and Wanli muttered in a low voice, "It's just useless." ”

This knife can be repaired, but it is really murderous!

The ministers were almost lost.

Wanli coughed lightly, and said: "But right now, I have something to tell you to do, it is related to the imperial examination, I found that my Ming problems are all poor, and this should be deeply understood." ”

Li Sancai really couldn't do it.

It was the hardest meeting he had ever had.

When did this emperor's mouth become so poisonous?

Wanli added: "This financial problem has always been a big problem for me, and I am very eager for the DPRK and China to have more talents in the field of finance to help me manage the finances, and as for the economics of Yinuo University, I think it is very beneficial to the country's finances, and I plan to take an additional subject of economics in the examination, which I will personally preside over." ”
