……

In short, for his next plan, Zhao Junchen is now quite suspicious of betting on the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Zhao Junchen's gambling is not too heavy, and he will never pin his future fate on luck, and every decision he makes is fully considered and repeatedly deduced.

What's more, Zhao Junchen can now be regarded as a moth attached to the old tree of the Ming Dynasty, once this old tree falls down, Zhao Junchen himself will not gain any benefits.

Therefore, in order to deal with the crises that may arise in the future, Zhao Junchen has prepared many plans.

At the same time, Zhao Junchen also had to do this.

Because, after coming to this point, Zhao Junchen's position has become a little awkward.

Prior to this, Zhao Junchen was just a fat pig that was fattened and slaughtered in the eyes of Emperor Deqing, a night pot that would be disliked when it ran out, a chess piece that attracted public resentment, and a monkey who killed after the new emperor ascended the throne, and it was destined to be the end of the rabbit and the dog in the future.

Zhao Junchen has been trying his best to fight against this fate, but this fate also has its advantages, that is, at least before the new emperor ascends the throne, Zhao Junchen will not be in any danger, and Emperor Deqing will turn a blind eye to some of his small actions, if Zhao Junchen encounters a crisis, Emperor Deqing will even take the initiative to help.

Considering Emperor Deqing's physical condition, Zhao Junchen can guarantee his safety for at least ten years.

But now, with Zhao Junchen annihilating the Mongol coalition army in one fell swoop, and also planning and promoting the imperial court's plan to send troops to recover the Hetao, his power and prestige have increased greatly, and he has completely lost the buffer time he once had, and his position in the eyes of Emperor Deqing has undergone a complete change!

Zhao Junchen is too young, and he has the power and means that are completely incommensurate with his age, and he seems to be still an ambitious person, so he has become a threat in the eyes of Emperor Deqing, a hidden danger that is enough to shake the Zhu family!

Such an existence is simply a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh for Emperor Deqing!

With Emperor Deqing's temperament, he will naturally not tolerate Zhao Junchen's continued development, nor will he deliberately wait until the new emperor ascends the throne.

Don't look at Zhao Junchen now, he can be regarded as a high position of power and prestige, but if Emperor Deqing deliberately targets and wantonly attacks, Zhao Junchen is still powerless.

In this case, for short-term considerations, in order to prevent Emperor Deqing's impatient suppression, the money and grain in the treasury must not be too sufficient! Only when the financial turnover of the imperial court is not good, Zhao Junchen can reflect his indispensable value and role, and even Emperor Deqing does not dare to target it at will.

At the same time, for long-term considerations, in order to resist the hostility that will inevitably arise in the future of Emperor Deqing, Zhao Junchen must continue to show dazzling achievements, constantly increase the treasury revenue, and improve the imperial finances, so that Emperor Deqing cannot find a reason to turn his face and suppress.

These two goals can be described as diametrically opposed.

Once the situation of money and food in the imperial court has improved significantly, Zhao Junchen will lose its effect, attracting Emperor Deqing to cut it off more and more impatiently; Once the money and grain situation of the imperial court cannot be significantly improved, Zhao Junchen will also lose its value, and it will still attract the suppression and targeting of Emperor Deqing.

People who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries, which probably refers to Zhao Junchen's current situation.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen can only start from two aspects at the same time, on the one hand, he will continue to increase the treasury income of the imperial court and continue to prove his role and value, and on the other hand, he will find a way to increase the consumption of the treasury, so that the imperial court's money and grain will always be in a state of income and non-expenditure, so as to ensure his indispensability.

Regarding the former, Zhao Junchen has been doing it, and the development of Sichuan salt, the rectification of commercial taxes, agricultural reform, and the future merger of the six ministries of Nanjing, cutting off the royal power in various places, etc., will significantly improve the financial situation of the imperial court in the next few years.

Regarding the latter, Zhao Junchen is also doing the same, this time Zhao Junchen is trying his best to push the imperial court to send troops to recover the Hetao, it is for this reason! All kinds of public expressions are just a disguise.

Today, Zhao Junchen has created a good situation for the imperial court, so Zhao Junchen has no doubt that the imperial court's plan to recover the Hetao can succeed.

But the real trouble in this matter was that after the imperial court successfully recovered the Hetao, the resettlement of the people after they moved to the border, the establishment of the acropolis when the border army was stationed, and the agricultural tools and seeds needed during the large-scale reclamation of farmland, all of which required the consumption of a large amount of silver, grain and grass.

It can be said that these aftermath matters alone will be enough to offset the financial revenue of the imperial court in the next three to five years.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen once again won a buffer period of three or five years for himself.

*

Previously, Zhao Junchen believed that the center of the court and Emperor Deqing would not be able to resist the temptation to expand the territory, and it was very likely that they would agree to the plan to send troops to recover the Hetao, but there were certain variables in this matter after all, so Zhao Junchen's mood had always been a little hanging.

In fact, Zhao Junchen had already made a decision, once the imperial court did not agree to send troops to recover the Hetao, he would forcibly promote this plan and let the raw rice be cooked rice.

This is also the reason why Zhao Junchen has always been serious after knowing the news of the new holy decree from the imperial court.

At this time, after listening to the content of the holy decree, Zhao Junchen's mood suddenly relaxed a lot.

So, after Zhao Junchen received the order to thank him, he returned to his place and sat down, picked up a cup of tea and drank it gently, and watched the performance of everyone in the main hall of the Governor's Mansion with cold eyes.

After Liang Fuchen read out the holy decree, there was an uproar and confusion.

Because of Zhao Junchen's brilliant record of annihilating the Mongol coalition army this time, some officials thought that the Mongols' combat strength was low, and they couldn't help but despise it in their hearts, thinking that they had ushered in a great opportunity to show their strength and gain military merits.

There are also some officials whose fear of war is already deep-rooted, even after witnessing Zhao Junchen's great military exploits, they cannot change their minds, and they all have uneasy expressions, they shrink their bodies, nose and mouth, and look at their hearts, for fear that they will attract the attention of Liang Fuchen and be sent to the grassland to die.

Another group of officials have a certain degree of foresight, that is, they have seen the opportunity and the crisis, and they can't help but look ahead and be timid, but some of them can't bear it, and they have raised some objections and concerns.

In this case, the scene can't help but be a little chaotic.

Liang Fuchen was a person with a firm position and his own opinions, and after seeing the scene gradually getting out of control, he suddenly shouted with a cold expression: "Quiet! …… You are all feudal officials and important ministers of the imperial court, this is the trilateral governor's palace, how can it be as noisy as a folk vegetable market? What a system! ”

After speaking, Liang Fuchen turned his eyes to look around at the civil and military officials, and then said in an unquestionable voice: "We are the courtiers of the imperial court, and we hold the imperial court's fortune in our hands. Therefore, this cabinet does not want to hear any more questions from anyone, nor does it want to see anyone back down! From now on, there is only one thing to discuss here, and that is how to fulfill His Majesty's will, go out to the grassland, and recover the Hetao! ”

Because of the kidnapping by horse bandits, Liang Fuchen's prestige was greatly hit, but after all, he was a minister and an elder of the imperial court, and after seeing his tough statement, all the civil and military officials in the main hall of the governor's palace suddenly did not dare to make any more noise, nor did they dare to raise any objections.

After seeing everyone's obedient performance, Liang Fuchen nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "According to the order of the imperial court, this time it will be the soldiers of the various armies in Shaanxi and Gansu to serve as the vanguard of the expedition to the grassland, this task is very important and cannot be missed, all of you are important civil and military officials in Shaanxi and Gansu, but what are your thoughts and plans?" ”

In Liang Fuchen's mind, the vast majority of the officials here were first aware of the fact that the imperial court was going to send troops to recover the Hetao, and it was impossible to put forward many useful opinions in a hurry, and even if they occasionally put forward some ideas, they would inevitably have obvious flaws.

Under such circumstances, after Liang Fuchen came up with the plan carefully prepared by Zhao Junchen, it would inevitably surprise all the officials, and Liang Fuchen's prestige would also be greatly increased at that time.

This kind of practice is obviously stealing Zhao Junchen's merits, which can be described as despicable means, but Liang Fuchen doesn't care.

Liang Fuchen's character is certainly a little upright, but he is by no means a pedantic person, as long as this means can increase his prestige, and by the way, suppress Zhao Junchen's influence, Liang Fuchen will never refuse.

For Liang Fuchen, there are only two bottom lines, one is that the interests of the court cannot be damaged, and the other is that his loyalty to Emperor Deqing cannot be shaken.

However, Zhao Junchen, who had been sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, quickly guessed Liang Fuchen's mind after seeing Liang Fuchen's performance.

Zhao Junchen is not a generous person, although he will not take the initiative to compete with Liang Fuchen for the limelight during this time, he will not watch Liang Fuchen steal his credit.

So, a sneer flashed at the corner of Zhao Junchen's mouth, and he glanced at Fang Zhenshan, the chief soldier of Guyuan.

Fang Zhenshan's temperament is exquisite, and after seeing Zhao Junchen's eyes, he quickly understood what Zhao Junchen meant.

After hearing Liang Fuchen's inquiry, just when all the officials fell silent, Liang Fuchen was about to tell Zhao Junchen's plan, when Fang Zhenshan suddenly spoke: "Speaking of which, the matter of the imperial court sending troops to recover the Hetao was mentioned by Lord Zhao a long time ago...... According to the speculation of the humble position, the imperial court has suddenly decided to send troops to recover the Hetao, and it is also because Lord Zhao proposed it to the imperial court, right? ”

With Fang Zhenshan's words, the eyes of all the officials in the main hall of the Governor's Mansion converged on Zhao Junchen's body, and Liang Fuchen's expression was a little ugly.

Under the attention of everyone, Zhao Junchen looked like he was holding a pearl of wisdom and a bamboo in his chest, with a smile on his face, and nodded slowly: "That's right!" At the beginning, after the Mongolian coalition army was dragged under the city of Jiezhou and failed to make meritorious contributions, I thought of today's situation and thought that the imperial army had the opportunity to form an encirclement and annihilate the Mongolian coalition army! At that time, the Mongol tribes would be greatly weakened, and it was a great opportunity for the imperial court to send troops to recover the Hetao, so they sent a secret proposal to the imperial court, and now it has finally been agreed by the imperial court. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen changed his expression of righteousness and Ling Ran, and said: "Once the imperial court's plan to recover the Hetao can be successful, the northwest defense line will advance to the depths of the grassland, and the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu will become the big rear, and the fire that has plagued the imperial court for many years will be completely solved. ”

Zhao Junchen's statement is to make all officials understand one thing - after the imperial court successfully recovers the grassland, all the officials present will become meritorious ministers, and all these opportunities are won by Zhao Junchen for them.

Moreover, after these words are spread, Zhao Junchen's prestige will rise again.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhao Junchen's words, all the officials present were scrambling to sing praises of virtue, and many officials who were originally afraid of the enemy saw Zhao Junchen's statement, thinking of Zhao Junchen's great achievements and legendary achievements during this period of time, they couldn't help but add a little confidence, and their attitude became positive.

For a while, Liang Fuchen was once again ignored by the officials, and his expression became even more ugly after he saw Zhao Junchen's move to take the opportunity to gain prestige for himself.

However, Zhao Junchen's statement is also true, so Liang Fuchen can't stop all this, and can only watch Zhao Junchen's prestige rise again.

At this time, Fang Zhenshan exclaimed with an exaggerated expression: "It turns out that Lord Zhao had already expected all this before the war with the Mongolian Tatars, and such a long-term vision is keen, I am afraid that there are few people in the world who can match it!" ”

Then, Fang Zhenshan's face was full of humility and asked again: "Since Lord Zhao, you have long expected today's situation, you must have already thought of the overall plan to recover the Hetao in your heart, right?" ”

Zhao Junchen still looked like he was looking at the fire, and after nodding, he said indifferently: "Such an important matter is not only related to the well-being of tens of millions of people, but also related to the military merits and lives of the imperial court officials and soldiers. ”

After speaking, Zhao Junchen told in detail about his plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

Such a plan, one link after another, can be described as extremely wonderful, even Liang Fuchen couldn't help but praise again and again after learning about such a plan, not to mention these civil and military officials in the main hall of the Governor's Palace.

When they found that once Zhao Junchen's plan was successfully achieved, the obstacles and dangers of the imperial court sending troops to the grassland to regain the Hetao would be greatly reduced, and their early harvest as a pioneer would be greatly increased, and the heaven-sent opportunity was in front of them, and they immediately became emotional.

In this way, the shocking and shocking scene that Liang Fuchen expected did appear at this moment, but all this scenery was attributed to Zhao Junchen.

……

20.5/30！

There is one shift around the morning.

Also, thanks to Reiner. Longte's 1,000 yuan reward instantly increased the insect's monthly manuscript fee by fifty percent, and he was grateful and ashamed.

At this point, by the way, there are about 500 readers of this book who insist on genuine subscriptions, because the starting point has given up the book, there are no recommendations, and there are basically no new readers, and the results are naturally indescribable.

All of this is the bug's own doing, so after the bug resumed the update, he never asked everyone for subscriptions and rewards, etc., and no matter how bad the results were, I had to grit my teeth and endure it...... The worm only hopes that after he finishes this book seriously, he will say, "I have lived up to your waiting and persistence".

I often see people discussing the question "Will the worms stick to this book if the results are too bad?", and this is the last time to answer, so please rest assured.
