Chapter 1630 Silver is always the top priority

In Fu Lin's view, now is the time to consolidate the authority of the imperial power and restore the glory of Taizu.

Will the treasury be short of silver?

It is said that if it is not a family, I don't know the price of firewood and rice, if Bumu Butai is here, there will definitely be no such doubts, because, in the past few years, the important ministers of the court have hollowed out the body and silver she brought from outside the gate, and even her dowry.

Fu Lin looked at Mr. Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng suspiciously.

Being watched by the emperor's gaze, Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng had to react and bow down in unison.

Hong Chengchou stepped forward and said, "Ahem...... Since the regent was in Xuzhou, our army has lost the momentum of attack, and the garrisons in the northwest and the Central Plains are all on the defensive, and gradually shrink to Gyeonggi...... In addition, the prince of Sirui, Dolbo, took the army to respect himself, and the domain was in Yanzhou, and the taxes of Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou were actually no longer in the imperial court's revenue...... In addition, now that the imperial court has issued a ban on transportation to the south, the specialties of the northern region cannot be sold to the south, which also makes the imperial court lose a large part of the tax...... Therefore, what the uncle said is indeed true, and the court can no longer afford another big war. ”

Fan Wencheng stepped forward and said: "The minister seconded the proposal, what Scholar Hong said is true, if the imperial court sends Wang Shi south to recover Huai'an and Yangzhou, it will definitely be resisted by the Jianxin Dynasty, and in this way, it is very likely to form a decisive battle ......." ”

Fu Lin frowned and said, "Then the decisive battle...... I'm not afraid of tightening my belly, even if I'm hungry, I'm going to be ashamed of Xuzhou! ”

I have to say that Wu Zheng killed Dolgon and blackmailed the Fuqing court with his body, which made Fulin very jealous.

Xiao Fulin even thinks that Wu Zheng is a demon, he should be one zhang tall and three, his eyes are like copper bells, and he takes a step forward, and there are two zhang in one step, and Xiao Fulin even thinks that the Qing army attacked south and wiped out the Northern Expeditionary Army, which is to seek liberation for the Han people in the south of the Yangtze River.

Tsk, a savior.

That's right, since she was born, this baby has been influenced by Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou's Confucianism, and she is too eager to become the co-master of the world and a generation of famous monarchs.

The ministers in the palace all bowed their heads and fell silent, and some of them covered their mouths and coughed lightly.

Don't think they're catching a cold or having a dry throat, in fact, it's a precedent.

Meaning, I don't agree with you, it's just ...... It's hard to say.

Fu Lin couldn't understand it, but Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou had already taught him these examples.

So Fulin asked, "What...... Did I say the wrong thing? Could it be that the imperial court didn't even dare to fight a decisive battle with the enemy? ”

Listen, listen, what is this called?

Isn't that a curse?

So, Fu Lin knelt down in front of him, and everyone shouted: "The minister is guilty!" ”

Do they really feel guilty?

Then why don't you just hit your head in front of the main gate of Li and die to atone, why do you need to kneel and beg here?

Therefore, the "guilty" in their mouths is actually nothing more than a mantra, just like praising the emperor for "His Majesty's wisdom".

In fact, what they really feel in their hearts is that the emperor is a fool and a tablet, but this cannot be said explicitly, and saying it is tantamount to going against the whole world.

So, they changed the tone, replacing "stupid", "stupid", and "stupid" with "Your Majesty is wise", in fact, the meaning is the same.

Of course, Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou will not teach Fu Lin this strange thing, so Fu Lin really doesn't know, he also deliberately got up, and with a sincere face to help these old goods up one by one, and comforted them with words.

I really don't know, these old people smiled and blossomed in their hearts, and secretly said, they are really young people.

After getting up, Zilharang suddenly said, "...... In fact, the minister felt that the embargo on the south could be lifted, which would alleviate the urgent needs of the northern merchants and ...... It can also be used to subsidize the ...... of the treasury's distress. ”

This makes sense to Fulin.

The southern attack is necessary, but it is not the same thing as making money, both sides are beneficial, what does the embargo do?

But when these words were heard in the ears of Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou, their faces changed suddenly, they looked at each other, and scolded in their hearts, Ji'er Harang, you are an old and immortal foodie, you made a fortune when you liquidated Dolgon, naturally you don't care about three melons and two dates, but you can't stand in the way of people's wealth!

The embargo on the south did play a role in hindering the production of firearms by the Jiangnan military workshop, but for some important officials in the Qing court, this was secondary, mainly because only by turning the goods in short supply in the south into a ban, then whenever the south needed these, they had to buy them at several times or even more than ten times the price, and the benefits were huge.

Of course, this benefit will definitely not be the monopoly of the Northern Merchants, on the contrary, the Northern Merchants only have some small profits, and even the previous profits are not as good as the previous profits, because they need permission to sell forbidden materials to the south.

And this permission is naturally in the hands of Xiang Hong, Fan and other people, and the rest of the matter is self-evident.

The capital blocks people's money, which is tantamount to killing parents.

Didn't everyone say before, everything can be discussed, but the embargo cannot be discussed.

But if you come here quietly and suddenly, won't you sell everyone?

Fan Wencheng immediately launched a counterattack, and he smiled and said, "What Uncle Wang admonished is naturally reasonable...... But the emperor should know that when the coal from the north reaches the south, it becomes the raw material for smelting steel in the Jiangnan military workshop, the wood from the north becomes the body of the musket in the hands of the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army when it reaches the south, and the saltpeter and other things in the north become ammunition when it reaches the south...... All these will be the ...... that will fall on the heads of our army in the future. ”

Before he finished speaking, Fu Lin said categorically: "The embargo cannot be abolished...... Not only must it not be abolished, but it must also be strictly controlled! ”

Zilharang's face sank, and he lowered his head.

On the other hand, Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou were full of relaxation and a smug look.

Fu Lin continued: "Since all of you Aiqing have advised not to use troops to the south, then ...... Discuss how to hold Haizhou, and discuss the war in Fengyang Mansion, whether the imperial court needs to increase troops to Fengyang Mansion? ”

Fan Wencheng took a step forward and said, "The minister thinks that the imperial court needs to increase the number of troops in Haizhou...... The minister recommended Yue Le, the prince of An, as the commander to hold Haizhou, so that the army could go to sea from Tianjin to land in the East China Sea, and it would take up to five days to reach ....... ”

Hong Chengchou said: "Fengyang Mansion has an army of 100,000 Prince Ying, the strength is sufficient, and our army will be able to defeat the enemy who comes to attack...... Therefore, the imperial court only needs to reward and encourage our soldiers, and there is no need to increase the troops. Furthermore....... ”

Hong Chengchou paused slightly, "Fengyang Mansion is adjacent to Xuzhou, and Xuzhou is the domain of Prince Rui...... Moreover, for the emperor's sake, whether it is Prince Ying or Prince Rui, if he fights fiercely with the enemy in Fengyang Mansion, he will lose both...... For the imperial court, it is really beneficial and harmless. ”
