It is a great thing to recover the vast land north of Nuer Gandusi, as long as Sun Chengzong sends a telegram, Zhu Cijiong will definitely raise his hands in favor, so why did he go to the capital to ask for his life?

This Sun Chengzong has his own considerations, as soon as Zhu Cijiong asked, he immediately changed his face full of love, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, Weichen is a prince, but he has never taught the emperor carefully, he is really worthy of the position of the prince and the trust of the emperor." Fortunately, the emperor is talented and intelligent, and he brought Daming on the road to prosperity and strength, which is a great luck in the world. “

Zhu Cijiong hurriedly said modestly: "I don't dare to take credit, I mainly rely on the soldiers of the three armies to use their lives, and the ministers are dedicated to serving the country, I just did what I should do." “

Sun Chengzong insisted: "The emperor doesn't have to be too humble, let's ask which emperor in all dynasties has done better than the emperor?" The emperor deserves to be the master of my Ming Zhongxing! However, in today's matter, Weichen has the courage to teach the emperor one or two. “

Zhu Cijiong hurriedly arched his hand solemnly and said, "Please also ask the Taifu to teach." “

Taifu originally had the duty to teach the emperor, Sun Chengzong was not hypocritical, he accepted this gift in his life, and then said earnestly: "The beginning of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" begins with a clear meaning, 'Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored. 'I wonder if the emperor has studied this sentence carefully?' “

Zhu Cijiong read it, but he only read it, and he didn't study it, he couldn't help but say sincerely: "I haven't studied this deeply, and I ask Taifu to teach." “

Sun Chengzong nodded and continued: "The importance of the army must be known to the emperor, so I won't say much about this micro-minister, the focus of this sentence on the emperor is mainly 'must not be overlooked'." Forgive Weichen for offending, for example, the first emperor did not observe the military affairs in Liaodong, listened to the rumors of the eunuch party, and reused Gao Di, who did not know the art of war, if there was no Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui, Zu Dashou and others who disobeyed Gao Di's strategy of retreating to Shanhaiguan and desperately defended the pass, would the Ming Dynasty not be in danger. “

Zhu Cijiong still knows about this, although his cheap father is not a mediocre person, but he has also fallen into a lot of Wei Zhongxian's tricks, such as the removal of Sun Chengzong is a big failure, listening to Wei Zhongxian's use of a civilian official like Gao Di who has no combat experience to replace Sun Chengzong's supervisor Ji Liao, it is really a bit too ridiculous, Zhu Cijiong is ashamed and doesn't know what to say.

Seeing his expression, Sun Chengzong hurriedly explained: "Weichen is not complaining about the first emperor, but just wants to let the emperor understand the harm of this 'ignorance' through this matter." Like this time, Weichen wants to use hundreds of thousands of troops to recover the northern Xinjiang, which is indeed a good thing, and Weichen also knows that the emperor will not object, but if Weichen sends a telegram, the emperor will immediately approve it, then the emperor will make the mistake of 'not noticing'! Think about it, if the person sitting in Liaodong is a mediocre person who can only talk on paper, or the people in Liaodong have ill intentions and want to use these hundreds of thousands of troops to do something else, wouldn't the Ming Dynasty be in danger? ”

Zhu Cijiong finally understood, it was indeed a bit hasty to act by himself, and it was better now, after all, all the leading generals are now famous loyal ministers in history, but these people will definitely get old, and they will still have to appoint new people when the time comes. “

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Maybe it's because the ministers are worried, the emperor is really a rare genius in governing the country, the appointment of every official is just right, and every policy of governing the country is extremely wise, the luck of the Ming Dynasty, the luck of the Ming Dynasty!" “

Zhu Cijiong was a little embarrassed when he said this, where is he a genius, the reason why he has never made any mistakes is because he has the knowledge of later generations, and it has nothing to do with the wise and martial arts.

He hurriedly said modestly: "Don't dare to be a Taifu so praised, this, let's talk about the affairs of Northern Xinjiang." “

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he showed an embarrassed expression, and only after half of him did he say embarrassedly: "This, Weichen wants to build more fortresses in the process of advancing in case of accidents." “

Zhu Cijiong is strange, it's good to build a fortress, what's so embarrassing? He immediately nodded in agreement: "Well, it is best to make progress while maintaining stability, and Taifu can build as many fortresses as he wants." “

Of course, repairing the fortress was not the reason why Sun Chengzong was embarrassed, and he then said embarrassedly: "This, Liaodong has sufficient reserves of grain and grass for the army, but it takes money to repair the fortress and build the railway, and Liaodong really can't afford it, so please ask the emperor to allocate a little." “

It turned out to be a matter of money, it will definitely cost money to fight, and it will cost money to build fortresses and railways, Zhu Cijiong said without hesitation: "How can there be a war that doesn't cost money, just say as much as you want!" “

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he was still a little embarrassed and said: "Because a large number of guards will be recruited to repair railways and fortresses this time, and the northern territory is vast, this recovery operation will be protracted, so this money may be a little more than before, and Weichen probably estimated that it will be at least 20 million taels." “

Twenty million taels is indeed not a small amount, if it was in the Chongzhen Dynasty, Sun Chengzong would not dare to open this mouth at all, but now it is the Chongzheng Dynasty, our Chongzheng Emperor is very rich, he said without hesitation: "Recruiting the guards to work can't treat them badly, so let's count them according to the standard of hired labor, I will allocate 50 million taels to you first, if it's not enough, you just mention it." “

Fifty million taels! It seems that the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty in a year is not so much, Sun Chengzong hurriedly dissuaded: "The tun guard should be the military affair, this is supposed to be, you don't need to spend so much money, the emperor, you can't exhaust the treasury for the reckless act of Weichen alone, if this is the case, Weichen will be unforgivable!" “

After a long time, Sun Chengzong didn't know how much of a tyrant he was, Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Didn't Zhixin and the others tell you how much money I made this time?" “

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he immediately said solemnly: "Thanks to the emperor's grace, the descendants of Weichen will enjoy endless glory and wealth, and Weichen has not thanked the emperor much, as for how much money the emperor has earned, it is the emperor's private matter, and Weichen does not dare to inquire." “

Zhu Cijiong immediately reproached: "Taifu is out of sight, I think that my father died, I was young and incompetent, and I relied on Taifu's support to tide over the difficulties, without Taifu, how can I have today, how can I have today, how can I have today!" That little money is not enough to repay the kindness of the Taifu, as for my private affairs, you are the mentor of your father and the emperor, and you are the Taifu of the dynasty, what can't you ask? “

Sun Chengzong hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Weichen is panicked. “

Zhu Cijiong was faceless, and said angrily: "They all said don't see outside." “

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he was embarrassed, and only after half a salary did he follow Zhu Cijiong's meaning and asked carefully: "That Weichen is brave, may I ask how much money the emperor made this time?" “

That's right, Zhu Cijiong immediately loosened his face and said proudly: "I smashed nearly 500 million this time, but the income is not bad, the treasury of the Mughal Empire alone has copied back more than 400 million real money and silver, and at least one billion more will be credited to the account, hahahaha, this time I really made a lot of money." “

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he was dumbfounded, this is too exaggerated, hundreds of millions or even billions at every turn, is the money so easy to make?
