Chapter 1537: High Arch's Remorse
Not to mention......
Once a war breaks out, the war is fought by the national strength, without the city, the national strength is bound to weaken, the north and the south are under the enemy, how to fight?
"The problem of the North!" Ma Fang frowned and continued: "Once the grassland and our Ming Dynasty are in full swing, this is definitely not a war that can end in a short time, and we must be prepared for a long time.
In fact, our military has not relaxed its investigation of the grassland, and the current overlord of the grassland is a man called Luo Shen, who is very mysterious and paints his face with color all day long. Our military spies said that if the Luo God had erased the color on his face and appeared in front of them, they would not recognize him.
However, it is precisely his mystery that makes the grassland tribes have a deep awe for him. And over the years, although that Luo God has not used troops against Daming, he has been expanding in the Western Regions, fighting almost every day. They have been tempered into a very powerful army. Therefore, the situation in the north is actually the same as in the south, and it can only be passively defensive. ”
"Passive defense!" Xu Jie's face was gloomy and he slapped the table and said: "As soon as the war between the north and the south starts, the city and the mutual market will be stopped, at that time, the Ming Dynasty's finances will inevitably suffer a big loss, and a countermeasure must be discussed today." ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Luo Xin and said, "Luo Xin, what is your plan?" ”
Luo Xin was angry, and called Luo Xin's name, which can be regarded as Xu Jie's name for juniors, and it is not a big deal. But don't forget that Luo Xin is also a Cabinet Fellow. Although he is young, his status is there, this is a kind of disrespect for Luo Xin, and it is a means for Xu Jie to suppress Luo Xin. Luo Xin raised his eyelids and said lightly:
"Fighting a war is a matter for the Ministry of War, and finance is a matter for the Ministry of Households. I'm in charge of the Ministry of Engineering. And with your first assistant here, what I want to do is to build war equipment and provide convenience for the military. If you ask me, I ask the Ministry of Household to allocate funds to the Ministry of Industry and start building equipment now, otherwise when the war starts, don't blame the Ministry of Industry for not having equipment. ”
Speaking of this, Luo Xin arched his hand towards Zhang Juzheng and said: "The state affairs are shaky, and I also ask Lord Zhang to tilt the money to the Ministry of Industry." ”
Xu Jie's and Zhang Juzheng's faces froze. Xu Jie's heart knew that this was Luo Xin's counterattack, so that his suppression of Luo Xin fell into the void. But it can't be done like this, otherwise how can Luo Xin be suppressed? His face sank, and he just wanted to say that you Luo Xin is the god of the Ming Dynasty......
But I heard Luo Xin speak again: "Lord Xu, now it is not only external troubles, but also internal worries. And I think internal worries are more important.
No powerful empire in history was defeated by external enemies, but collapsed by internal strife.
The shortage of money is the internal worry of the Ming Dynasty today.
The money shortage cannot be solved, and when the time comes, internal and external troubles will come, and the Ming Dynasty will be in danger! ”
Xu Jie's heart was furious, this was Luo Xin's more violent counterattack against him. And now it is Zhang Juzheng and Ma Fang who are in charge of the money shortage, just as once the war starts, Ma Fang is in charge of the military department, and Zhang Juzheng is in charge of the household department, they are the main responsible departments.
"The bigger internal worry is that there is now a crisis in the credibility of the imperial court."
Luo Xin's voice gradually became louder: "Zhao Zhenji, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, wrote to punish Shao Yuanjie and others who had died, demolish the Taoist palace in the palace, and investigate the monk officials who flattered the first emperor at the beginning.
Zhao Zhenji did this, which represented a group of people who had risen and recovered, and they were originally suspected of attacking dissidents. But I didn't expect that now there are too many people who have risen and fallen in the government and the opposition, and when the first emperor was the first emperor, they were flattering the first emperor and cultivating the Tao to confuse people. In this way, the two sides competed and attacked each other, and the officialdom was stirred into a pot of porridge by Zhao Zhenji's book once, and the Ming military and civilians were confused, and they inevitably lost trust in the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, I believe that preparations are needed for war, but internal worries must be eliminated immediately. ”
The room was silent, and pins could be heard.
Luo Xin's knife was directly inserted into Xu Jie's heart.
Luo Xin said that in the time of the first emperor, who was the person who flattered the first emperor?
Isn't it just him who writes green words, wears his hair barefoot, and invites God with the first emperor?
Luo Xin almost pointed at his nose and scolded him by reading his name.
How can this be endured?
But......
This must be endured!
What if you can't bear it?
Can he refute Luo Xin and say that he is not flattering the first emperor?
Can he refute Luo Xin and say that he must be able to solve the money shortage?
Can he tell Luo Xin, you don't have to worry about the war, I Xu Jie's wave of my hand and solve it?
No!
That...... It's just breathless!
Gao Gong was happy to see it, and his face was happy to fold. looked at Luo Xin with a smile and said:
"Lord Luo, you are the god of the Ming Dynasty, and you still need to make plans for this north-south war."
Luo Xin rolled his eyes and said: "I just took over the manual department today, and I don't know anything about the Ministry of Labor, but Lord Xu said that they are in charge of their own affairs, and if something happens to the department they are in charge of, they must be responsible." I'm so preoccupied with the Ministry of Industry that I don't have the energy to think about anything else.
Besides......
I, the god of the Ming Army, have no official recognition, it's just a joke for everyone, and I have never admitted it. On the contrary, it was the credit of Hu Zongxian and Lord Hu that fought against the Japanese in the south, and the fight against the steppe Tatars in the north was the credit of General Ma Fangma. ”
Gao Gong also had a constipated expression, he knew that Luo Xin was annoyed with him. And he also has to endure it, who let him tacitly join forces with Xu Jie, and pit Luo Xin's Ministry of Rites?
You can't say that Luo Xin is in the cabinet and doesn't do things.
Luo Xin said, I'm in charge of the Ministry of Industry, isn't that right?
And taking a step back, Luo Xin is only ranked fifth in the cabinet, and there are Yan Na, Ma Fang, Gao Gong and Xu Jie. Even if there is something, a few of you will carry it first, right?
The sky is falling, and there is a big one!
Therefore, Luo Xin can sit here and watch the play with peace of mind.
Gao Gong didn't say anything, Ma Fang's lips moved, and finally closed his mouth as well. But at this time, in his heart, he regretted a little, did he choose the wrong one?
To say that he has a close relationship with Luo Xin and Gao Gong, he had a close relationship with Luo Xin at the beginning, which was much closer than with Gao Gong. The two of them cooperated many times to achieve victory after victory. He truly witnessed the legend of Luo Xin's victorious general.
The reason why he defected to Gao Gong is not because Gao Gong is the second assistant of the cabinet?
So Xu Jie, or the first assistant of the cabinet, why not defect to Xu Jie?
It's not because Xu Jie once betrayed Emperor Longqing, he was not optimistic about Xu Jie, and at that time, Luo Xin did not enter the cabinet, and he was not even a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, but just a servant of the Ministry of Rites.
How does this make Ma Fang choose?
Can he choose Xu Jie, who betrayed Emperor Longqing, in his opinion, he will definitely be punished by Emperor Longqing for a chance?
Can you choose Luo Xin, who is just a waiter of the Sanpin Rite Department?
Only choose the cabinet secondary auxiliary high arch!
