No matter what period of time this march fights, in the final analysis, it is the national strength, especially for the two forces, who wants to have the last laugh, it depends on who can carry it to the end.

So there is also a proverb that the soldiers and horses are not moved, and the grain and grass go first.

Now the Ming Dynasty is like a castle built on the beach, and now he is not only in a dilapidated castle, but also carrying the foundation of this castle, which has become decaying.

Although the current Ming Dynasty has not yet reached the point of being riddled with holes, it seems that it has not become so far away from such a degree.

With the passage of time, the current Ming Dynasty's control over the local countryside is constantly declining, and this has also caused the Ming Dynasty to lose the opportunity to prosper.

Local disasters continued, rebellions never stopped, officialdom was not clear, and profiteers on the border betrayed each other, these alone were enough to make Daming anxious.

And the deep-seated fluctuations caused by this are constantly fermenting with the precipitation of time.

Local disasters continued, which caused a serious reduction in grain production, which led to untimely tax collection, and the people of the Ming Dynasty in order to ensure the payment of taxes, which eventually made their only land take advantage of the opportunity to be annexed by local tyrants and low-cost, which led to a new round of contradictions!

With the precipitation of time, the resistance of the lower class of the Ming Dynasty will show a collapse-like decline.

Although it was the middle and upper class who decided the giant ship of the Ming Dynasty who lived a worry-free life.

But once the bottom class completely loses the hope of life, then the energy they can burst out will be devastating!

During the Apocalypse, the Ming Dynasty had many troubles, but this high-ranking official in the court and the central government was thinking about how to consolidate his official position, and how many of them really cared about what would happen to the Ming Dynasty?

The party fights for the country, and this statement is by no means intimidation!

Zhu Youxiao didn't expect Sun Chengzong to ask such a question, and he didn't expect that the treasury of the Heavenly Kingdom would be so weak.

In the more than a year since he ascended the throne, there have been many problems in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youxiao, who first ascended the throne, had no experience in managing and governing this huge empire at that time.

Therefore, in order to stabilize the situation in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao in many cases focuses on those auxiliary courtiers left by his father.

Most of their opinions are subordinate to Ye Xianggao and them, and under such a premise, Ye Xianggao and them govern this huge empire on the one hand, and on the other hand, they continue to increase their sphere of influence.

But the more it governs, the weaker the empire always feels.

Even after Wei Zhongxian successfully ascended to the throne, Zhu Youxiao had already begun to understand that it was different from the government affairs that Ye Xianggao and others reported.

It's just that these things are hidden, and Zhu Youxiao didn't say it in his heart.

"Ye Shoufu! How much money is still in the treasury? "Even if he is annoyed in his heart, when it comes to state affairs, Zhu Youxiao still needs to ask.

According to Zhu Youxiao's own understanding, the Ming Dynasty, a vast empire, took out some silver to rectify the collapse of Liaoxi, which was more than enough.

It's just that Ye Xianggao's answer completely stunned Zhu Youxiao, a young genius!

"Go back, go back to Your Majesty, there is no silver in the treasury today." It's nothing if you don't mention silver, this mention of silver, Ye Xianggao's face is not very good, he's too difficult to be the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty!

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he couldn't believe what he heard, and asked questioningly: "What! You say there is no silver in the treasury?! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ye Xianggao, who is the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, began the stage of complaining at this moment.

Since Zhu Youxiao inherited the unification and ascended the throne as emperor, the Ming Dynasty not only needed to solve the national funeral of the two generations of emperors, but also encountered a series of things such as the rebellion of the Jiannu army in Liaodong, the rebellion of the Tusi in Sichuan, the breach of the Yellow River, and the preparation of the military in Liaodi.

The rule of the Ming Dynasty has changed since the middle and late Wanli, coupled with the continuous party struggle over the years, the officials of the Ming Dynasty are not clear, but whenever there is an opportunity to make money, there will definitely be no officials to let go.

Also, behind the Donglin Party is the business gentry in the southeast region, and when the Donglin Party is in power, it will inevitably take advantage of the national interests and private individuals.

With a stroke of the pen, this group of ministers continued to find a way to reduce, collect taxes in the southeast region, and then meet the needs of the forces behind them, and the Ming Dynasty continued to lose the basic point of tax collection, how could there be silver in this treasury?

Of course, Ye Xianggao will definitely not say these situations, what he says is all whitewashed words, like what does not compete with the people, but let the people benefit......

All in all, as an emperor, you can't do things that insult Sven and compete with the people for profit, which is the biggest mistake.

After listening to what Ye Xianggao said, Zhu Youxiao probably only knew the complicated feelings in his heart, which also made Zhu Youxiao feel more disgusted with the faces of this group of civil officials!

Zhao Zongwu, who has also been in place and is a transparent person, feels that his time has come. Originally, I was still thinking about how to involve the topic of silver, but God wants to help, and I can't stop it!

With Ye Xianggao's face, he can hide it from others, but he can't fill Zhao Zongwu.

What kind of king does not compete with the people, what makes the benefit of the people, but in Daming, the ordinary people who are struggling at the bottom do not even have the land to feed their own families, when will they be qualified to have a series of resources such as mountains and rivers, minerals?

When Emperor Wanli was alive, what was the purpose of sending eunuchs to various places? For the sake of political robbery, the 'people' in the mouth of this group of officials.

It's just that this 'people' is the rich and powerful gentry in the local area!

The foundation of the Ming Dynasty was eaten away by such a group of moths with no bottom line, and finally collapsed!

Listening to what Ye Xianggao said, there was a deathly silence in the hall, because this matter can be described as a recognized phenomenon, and this is not the time to put a pen.

But isn't this the opportunity that Zhao has been waiting for?

"Your Majesty! There will be something to say at the end! Just when Zhu Youxiao was sulking, Zhao Zongwu raised his head, held his chest up, squinted at the old actor Ye Xianggao, and then stood up and said in a shock.

You're a shit, aren't you crying here that you don't have any money?

You are a dog, don't you not give face to the Emperor of the Apocalypse?

Then I'm sorry next, it's time for you to take off, you continue to talk about Liaodong's affairs, and it's time for you to seek authority of practical significance.

"The treasury lacks silver, this is the mistake of the courtiers!" Zhao Zongwu glanced at Ye Xianggao, and then said righteously: "The country needs silver to prepare the border land, as the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, I don't want to help Your Majesty share your worries, but you keep complaining here, and even bring the disaster to Your Majesty!"

Ye Shoufu, you, the cabinet chief, are almost done! ”

Now that he has decided to completely offend Ye Xianggao and them, then Zhao Zongwu doesn't mind saying it more ugly, the Ming Dynasty is that Zhao Zongwu doesn't want to go deeper, he just wants to be a lonely emperor's favorite minister now.

Of course, to do this, you must have the same mentality as Brother Pingtou, look down on life and death, and do it if you don't accept it!

This military general force, which was suppressed by the civilian forces, didn't even dare to put a fart on weekdays, but today when he arrived at Zhao Zongwu, it completely changed!

So much so that after Zhao Zongwu said this, many people present were stunned, this is really crazy!
