Although the matter of opening the feudal ban is also a big thing, but now that there is a great victory in the northwest, everything must make way for this matter. After the celebration, it is naturally a reward, which is very important.

Not to mention the others, just the reward of forty taels of one head made many ministers feel pain.

Although the good news shouted that 100,000 people were killed, everyone knew that this figure was untrue, but Qi Jiguang also reported 84,000 heads. In addition to the 10,000 ambushes and the gains in the battle with Huang Taiji, the rest is to exterminate the heads of small tribes.

Anyway, if someone has a head, they will report it, which is what the border army often does.

Now there are many people in the court who impeach Qi Jiguang, and one of them is to falsely report military exploits.

In fact, there are people in front of you who fight, and people in the back who pull back their legs, this kind of thing is common in Daming. Zhu Yijun also knew that he could not reverse this trend for the time being, and even impeached Qi Jiguang for killing good and risking merit.

Anyway, it just came out to brush up on the sense of existence, which made people angry and helpless.

Sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the noisy ministers below, the old god Zhu Yijun was sitting. He had long been accustomed to this situation, and when Zhu Yijun's eyes looked at Xungui's side, he found that these people were actually watching the play on the side.

It is not a day or two for him to carry the governor's mansion of the five armies and the status of the nobles.

But these people are still virtuous, and at this time, they are still unwilling to accept Qi Jiguang, and they are not even willing to stand up and say a word for Qi Jiguang. It seems that these people are too depraved and need to be stimulated.

Isn't there a poem that says, "Ask the canal to be as clear as promised, for there is a source of living water." These noble days are too comfortable.

Zhu Yijun doesn't care at all about whether Qi Jiguang is a good person or not, fighting on the grassland and facing the Warat people, who is good? Killing good and risking merit is, Zhu Yijun doesn't care at all.

As for falsely reporting his military exploits, Zhu Yijun knew that these 84,000 heads must have water.

But this time he won, and Zhu Yijun is willing to pinch his nose and admit these false heads. The information also sent by the Imperial Horse Supervisor showed that the real number of heads was 74,000, and 10,000 were falsely reported.

Qi Jiguang can't be blamed for this, the court gave a discount to the reward, and it was really not done once or twice.

"Alright, stop arguing!" Zhu Yijun saw that the quarrel below was almost over, and said: "Look at your appearance, what kind of system you have become, the imperial envoy Han Zhangjun lost his honor in front of him, and he will be fined for half a year." ”

Han Zhang hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you for your guilt!" ”

"This time, the reward will be calculated according to 84,000 heads, and each head will be rewarded with 40 taels of silver, for a total of 3,360,000 taels of silver.

Zhu Yijun directly set the tone for this matter, and there is nothing to investigate.

"Death and disability pensions are also given to the highest standards."

Zhu Yijun added.

Many people's faces are not very good-looking, and the head reward is more than 3 million taels, plus the death pension and disability pension, it is not 5 million taels? This expense is also too great, and if the five million taels are taken out, the treasury will be directly empty.

This is not counting the reward for meritorious people, it is also a large expense.

In the first war in the northwest, more than 2 million taels of silver were smashed into the early stage, and the grain allocated by the granaries in various places was not counted.

"Your Majesty, this must not be done!"

The others didn't speak, and Zhang Xueyan, the head of the household, stood up first.

"It's good for the emperor to be sympathetic to the soldiers, but if you really reward them like this, then the treasury will be depleted. If you don't say anything else, I'm afraid you won't even be able to send out next month's official service. Speaking of this, Zhang Xueyan knelt down directly: "Please ask Your Majesty to take back your order!" ”

"Please take back your order!"

After Zhang Xueyan knelt down, many ministers below also knelt down.

Zhu Yijun looked at them expressionlessly, and said lightly: "Ladies and gentlemen, since I promised a person forty taels of head before the war, I naturally can't break my promise. As for the money, you Aiqing don't have to worry. ”

"A few days ago, Zhang Whale's fold was handed over, and this time the property of the Qi family and illegal salt merchants was confiscated in Yangzhou, and a total of more than 4 million taels of silver was obtained."

"This silver will not be put into the inner treasury, and it will all be used as a reward for this Northwest War!"

The ministers were all stunned, they could also think that Zhang Whale had made a lot of money in Yangzhou, but they didn't expect to get so much. More than four million taels, are the salt merchants in Yangzhou so rich? Quite a few people have mixed feelings.

Some feel resentful, some feel sorry, and some feel excited.

Zhu Yijun didn't care what they thought, he was also very painful, and the money had just arrived and he hadn't covered it yet, so he sent it out directly. However, for the sake of the Northwest War, it was spent and spent. Of course, these are not all the gains in Yangzhou.

Pure silver money is these, but real estate such as fields, shops, houses, etc., as well as a large number of cultural toys, calligraphy and paintings, that is really valuable. But there is no need to tell the ministers, Zhu Yijun thinks this is quite appropriate.

As soon as Zhang Xueyan heard Zhu Yijun's words, he stood up from the ground and returned to the team directly.

When other people saw Zhang Xueyan's style, they could only stand up if they were not satisfied in their hearts, and they didn't say anything about the household department, and the others were even less qualified to say anything. The emperor has said that you can't lose your trust in the soldiers, what else can you say.

I really don't give this money, if there is a mutiny or something, then I really can't eat and walk around.

As for Zhang Xueyan, he doesn't care where the money comes from, anyway, if the household department doesn't come out, then it's fine. Now the household department is more than 5 million taels, that is the root of his life, no one can move, originally he planned to let the emperor's inner treasury pay for it, but now it's okay.

Solving the problem of money, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "After talking about the money, let's talk about the reward!" ”

"This time, the northwest broke the wara and occupied the Naturalization City, which is the biggest martial art since I ascended the throne. I want to reward me with a knighthood and reopen the second baron, I don't know what the princes think? ”

As soon as Zhu Yijun's words came out, many people's jaws suddenly dropped, and the second baron was reopened? Did you hear that right?

After Zhu Yijun said this, he looked directly at Xungui with a playful gaze.

In fact, the reopening of the second baron has little impact on them, but it means that the emperor is going to restart the knighthood system. This has a great impact on the nobles, and once there are new nobles rising, they will inevitably challenge their status.

Wenchen's side is very vigilant, and it is not a good thing for them to become bigger.

This is contrary to their policy of civilizing and marrying the country, and is at odds with what they consider to be the values of a rude and chaotic country. The nobles are extravagant, and the civil officials are already dissatisfied with them, and they also add honors and nobles, which is not good.

"By the way, I still want to reopen the civil official knighthood!"

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Zhu Yijun opened his mouth again and added: "The civil ministers are the assistant king, and the lower An Lishu, the credit is in the imperial court, I am ready to reopen the civil official knighthood to show the merit of the civil official, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks?" ”

If it is a simple baron, Zhu Yijun estimates that it is very likely that he will not get the support of civil officials.

Throw out the civil official knighthood, it will be different, although he despises the nobles in his heart, but the civil ministers don't want to be nobles? That represents status, represents a golden job, no one doesn't want it!

"The minister thinks that His Majesty's decision is wise and wise, and it is really a good policy!"

The imperial envoy Han Zhang was just punished for being punished, and at this time, not only did he not stop, but he was the first to stand up to support Zhu Yijun and began to advocate for Zhu Yijun.

"The minister thinks that His Majesty's policy is very good, and the minister thinks it is feasible." Chen Wei, a cabinet scholar, also stepped forward.

Although Chen Wei was born in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he is a real "official", not only an official fan, but also for the sake of the official, basically has no bottom line. Now when I heard that the civil official was knighted, I immediately couldn't sit still.

After listening to Zhu Yijun say that civil officials were knighted, he first thought of himself.

Civil officials are knighted, who is the most qualified, of course, these cabinet scholars!

After Chen Wei stood up, many people stood up in the court in an instant, most of these people were imperial envoys and Taoist officials, and in the affairs of various departments, everyone stood up to advocate.

These people are basically Chen Hong's henchmen, and there is no lower limit to advocacy.

The reason why Zhu Yijun kept Chen Wei in the cabinet was because he didn't go offline, and he would advocate it. Many of your reform policies need such people, and they need to shout for the flag, creating the illusion that the whole world supports you.

After they create such an illusion, they can conform to the will of the people.

Xungui's face was black, but they didn't dare to stand up.

To knight an officer is to knight his subordinates, although a hundred people in their hearts are unwilling, but they dare not stand up against it. If anyone stands up against it, it will lose people's hearts.

Civil officials are blocked, and they naturally don't want to see it, but they can't control it!

Shen Shixing stood in place, listening to the appreciative voices around him, and his mood was a little complicated.

In fact, Shen Shixing doesn't want to be knighted? Of course, he is also a human being, how could he not want to be knighted. But this knighthood is not such a simple thing, and if he wants to oppose it, he doesn't dare to stand up.

Civil officials are knighted, just look at the excited looks of these people, this policy will inevitably be supported by countless civilian officials.

If he stood up against it, it was estimated that he would become the target of the public, and sighed in his heart, Shen Shixing had to admire the emperor's skill!

Violating the ancestral system or something, these people in the court will not say this, from the era of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, these are reformers, how many things they have done that violate the ancestral system, and if they really talk about the ancestral system, it is estimated that they will be impeached.

"Since all the secretaries are in favor, then let the cabinet draw up a charter as soon as possible!" Zhu Yijun squinted his eyes and said with a light smile.
