Chapter 157: Is the Treasury Empty?
Yang Shaofeng said with a bewildered expression: "Yi Xiao? Bai Geng? Didn't they take part in this township test? ”
Zhu Laosi snorted coldly and said, "Just like when you took the entrance examination, Wang Hong sent the exam papers of your two students to the palace again." ”
Yang Shaofeng immediately understood.
I asked Yi Xiao and Bai Geng how they answered the township exam papers, and these two students did answer well, but the messy concepts in it were not accessible to Xiucai at all, even the old officials may not be able to figure it out, and now the two Xiucai answer the exam papers like this, and then compare those bullshit answers such as Guangshi Renzheng, Zhu Laosi is uncomfortable.
Hehe laughed a few times, Yang Shaofeng said: "It's okay, it's okay, Yi Xiao and Bai Geng didn't let their grandson be embarrassed as a teacher, they finally have a few levels."
However, although their level is good, their talents are limited, and in fact, it is just that. ”
After looking at the bank for a long time, Zhu Laosi suddenly got up and said, "Let's go, let's go and take a look at the list of Shuntianfu, and also look at your two good students!" ”
After coming out of the bank, Yang Shaofeng originally planned to honestly follow Zhu Laosi to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, but when he turned his head to look, he saw Xia Yuanji constantly looking at himself, so he immediately took a step back and asked, "Xia Butang?" ”
Xia Yuanji looked at Yang Shaofeng and said, "What did the champion said?" The one who smashed the pot and sold iron bought two million laborers, and then rented them to the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry? ”
Yang Shaofeng said helplessly: "Can they get two million laborers? Where to get it? It's good to get one hundred and eighty thousand, and two million? ”
Xia Yuanji said: "Then so, these laborers, the household department bought them, and then rented them to you at a price of 20 yuan a day, food, clothing, housing and transportation, you look at the arrangement, if you are tired to death, then you will lose five taels of silver, and the old man will not earn your money, how about it?" ”
Yang Shaofeng pointed in the direction of the Yang family Zhuangzi and said mockingly: "You go and talk to the children in the Yang family Zhuangzi Academy, see how they answer you, how about it?" ”
Xia Yuanji's face turned red, stroked his beard and sneered: "Isn't this an empty treasury?" The old man is also thinking about the treasury, don't be surprised. ”
After finishing speaking, Xia Yuanji said in a low voice: "Also, what good can it do to bombard the Wa Kingdom?" What you told Your Majesty a while ago, Your Majesty told me that you are trying to empty the treasury! ”
Yang Shaofeng glanced at Zhu Laosi's back, then motioned for Xia Yuanji to get closer to him, and then said in a low voice: "There is a mountain in the country of Wa, called Iwami Silver Mountain, and the whole mountain is full of silver!" ”
Xia Yuanji's eyes lit up, he looked up at Zhu Laosi's back, and then said in the same low voice: "Really? If you dare to deceive the old man, the old man will rely on your Yang family Zhuangzi and not leave! ”
Yang Shaofeng said: "What am I lying to you for?" Do you think, how much silver must be in a whole mountain? Let's talk less, get a million taels a year, is it still hot to spend? ”
After finishing speaking, Yang Shaofeng looked up at the sky again, and then said in a low voice: "If I Yang Shaofeng lied to you, let me thunder in the sky!" ”
Xia Yuanji also looked up at the sky, and snorted: "You wait until it rains before you swear!" Where is the thunder striking you on this sunny day? You're stupid to be an old man, aren't you? ”
Yang Shaofeng laughed dryly and said, "Just kidding, don't take it seriously." Anyway, there are really silver mines in the Wa Kingdom. ”
Xia Yuanji looked at Yang Shaofeng suspiciously and said, "Really? Then why didn't you tell Your Majesty? ”
Yang Shaofeng laughed and said in a low voice: "What's the panic?" When the two wolves go back and inquire about the news, I will find a way to get a fleet with the imperial grandson, and then take the broken copper and iron to the Wa Kingdom to exchange some silver. ”
Xia Yuanji looked suddenly enlightened, then glared at Yang Shaofeng hatefully, and after quickly catching up with Zhu Laosi, he whispered: "Your Majesty, the Japanese Kingdom has not paid tribute for a long time, and where is the majesty of the Heavenly Empire?" The minister thinks that he should raise a large army, destroy his country, seize his land, destroy his contributions, and burn his temple! ”
Zhu Laosi glanced at Xia Yuanji, who was suddenly crazy, and suddenly smiled: "Isn't the treasury empty?" ”
Xia Yuanji said: "The Holy Son of Heaven is in power, how can the treasury be empty? Now that the treasury has nearly a million dollars of silver, the Tatars and Warat have surrendered, and they think that they can take this opportunity to train the sailors, and when they are formed, they will march eastward! ”
Turning his head and glancing at Yang Shaofeng, Zhu Laosi walked forward and said to Xia Yuanji: "What did that bastard say?" Don't be deceived by him, that bastard still wants to plant something on the grassland, but this will have to wait for Zheng He to come back to know if there can be seeds suitable for the grassland. He's talking nonsense now, can you still take it seriously? ”
Natsuhara felt like he had seen through everything.
The news that Yang is crazy can know, can you be the emperor or not? I think you just want to work with Yang Shaofeng to get the silver of Iwami Silver Mountain into the inner pockets-phew! That's the treasury's! Now the treasury is empty...... Forget it, now that the treasury has money, it has to go to war, otherwise this money should be wormed!
After rolling his eyes and thinking for a long time, Xia Yuanji said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is a sentence that the champion has said that is particularly reasonable, which simply makes the minister pause. ”
Zhu Laosi snorted and said curiously: "What did he say?" ”
Xia Yuanji said: "The champion said that the treasure money spent is money, and the treasure money in his hand is paper. In the same way, the money spent is the money, and the silver in the hand is the stone.
Now that there are millions of silver in the treasury, tens of millions of treasure money, and the rest of the materials are not counted, what is the use of these things left in the treasury? It is better to build a sailor, cross the sea to expedition to the Japanese country, and seize all its land for the people of our Ming Dynasty, so that Your Majesty can expand the territory, and the people can also have one more arable land, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”
Zhu Laosi looked at Xia Yuanji and said, "What did that bastard say?" Also an expedition across the sea? Do you know how much a treasure cost? Do you know how many taels of silver are needed to open the army? ”
Xia Yuanji swore and promised: "The treasury will support it!" The minister promises that there will be no mistakes, if there is, please behead Yang Mad Dog! ”
Zhu Laosi was immediately laughed at by Xia Yuanji, pointed at Xia Yuanji and said, "You tell me clearly, what did that bastard say to you?" He's crazy, and you're crazy too, aren't you? ”
Xia Yuanji said: "Your Majesty doesn't want to hide from Weichen!" There is Iwami in the country, and there is a silver mountain in the Iwami country, and the champion prince can tell the ministers. ”
Zhu Laosi said angrily and funny: "What is the mess, what did he say?" ”
Xia Yuanji laughed and said: "Zhuangyuan Gong said that he will take his grandson to get a fleet, and then take the broken copper and iron to the Wa Kingdom to exchange for silver!" Your Majesty, now that the treasury is empty, and the dynasty needs silver everywhere, you can't just think about the treasury and forget about it. ”
Zhu Laosi stopped suddenly, turned to look at Yang Shaofeng, and scolded: "Get out!" ”
After waiting for Yang Shaofeng to come to the front, Zhu Laosi pointed at Xia Yuanji and said, "What did you say to Xia Aiqing?" What is it that takes broken copper and iron to exchange it for silver? Tell me clearly! ”
Yang Shaofeng looked embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "Sun Er just wants to pull his righteous brother to get a fleet together, and then exchange some cloth and perfume and other things for their silver." ”
Zhu Laosi was immediately laughed angrily, and poked Yang Shaofeng with his finger and said, "Are you long?" Without a conjunction, you dare to trade with the Japanese without permission, and you know what a great sin this is? ”
Yang Shaofeng said unconvinced: "Does the Japanese of the Japanese Kingdom have a conscription charm?" They came to my Ming Dynasty, can their grandchildren not go to the country of the Japanese? As the so-called Kou can go, I can also go, there is no monk in the world who can touch it, but I can't touch the truth!
Besides, didn't the grandson think that his grandfather was short of silver, and when he turned around, his grandson and his brother went to explore the way, if there was really a silver mine, then why would he keep the Japanese country? Like such a rebel, it is not enough to kill him! ”
Zhu Laosi, who was almost mad, stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, then pointed at Yang Shaofeng and scolded: "Rebel? Is there anyone more than you? You tell me? Also silver mines? Silver!? ”
Zhu Laosi finally reacted - when Xia Yuanji said it just now, he was talking about Yinshan, and Zhu Laosi thought it was describing the silver of the Wa Kingdom, and when Yang Shaofeng talked about silver mines, Zhu Laosi knew that he had misunderstood.
As soon as Yang Shaofeng saw that Zhu Laosi's focus had finally returned to the silver mine, he said with a smile: "Grandson heard that there is a silver mine in the Iwami country of the Japanese country, so the grandson thought selfishly, first get a fleet to go to the Japanese country to explore the truth, if it is true, grandfather will no longer have to worry about the silver." ”
Zhu Laosi looked at Xia Yuanji, then at Yang Shaofeng, and also unconsciously lowered his voice and asked, "Is there really a silver mine?" ”
Yang Shaofeng nodded vigorously and said, "It's true!" Does your grandson dare to lie to you? ”
Zhu Laosi paced a few steps, motioned to Ji Gang, who was following behind, to come over, and then ordered: "Send someone to the Wa Kingdom to find out if there is a silver mine in the Wa Kingdom Ishimi Country!" ”
After Ji Gang nodded and agreed, Zhu Laosi put on a calm appearance and said to Yang Shaofeng and Xia Yuanji: "Don't fight and kill at every turn!" Let's see if there's a silver mine there before you decide!
Also, I brought you out to see the township test list, you two are good, and in a few words, you plan to conquer the Japanese country? What a system! ”
Natsuhara Yoshido: "The treasury is empty......"
Zhu Laosi glared at Xia Yuanji and said, "Is it empty or not?" ”
Xia Yuanji was dumbfounded for a moment, looked at Zhu Laosi and said, "If the Japanese state has a silver mine, then the treasury will not be empty." If there were no silver mines in the kingdom, the treasury would be empty. ”
Zhu Laosi laughed and said mockingly: "I see whether this treasury is empty or not, it all depends on how much benefit your household can fall!" ”
Xia Yuanji said: "If the Japanese state has silver mines and takes them into the treasury, how can the treasury be empty? If there is no silver mine in the Japanese country, this is a border city and a new capital, spending money everywhere, how can the treasury not be empty? The ministers are honest, I hope Your Majesty will be clear! ”
