So Wang Yue didn't wait for him to give up his seat, found a chair to sit on, poured another cup of tea and drank it all. After chatting with Chongzhen for so long, he didn't dare to drink a sip of tea.

"Father-in-law, now that you are talking from your family behind closed doors, you have no one to see when you make such a gesture, why bother?"

Zhang Zhiji snorted and said, "What do you mean by coming here today?" Go ahead! ”

Wang Yue said: "Father-in-law, you are the Governor of the Chinese Army, and now that the Beijing camp has been controlled by the Tiance Army of the younger son-in-law, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Zhiji snorted and said, "Even Lu Xiangsheng is not your kid's opponent, what can I do?" The erosion of the capital camp is obvious to all, what does it have to do with the country? ”

This is called the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, the situation of Jingying is more special, although it is said to be the country's army, in fact, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, Jingying has been reduced to the house slaves of the magnates, and the British Duke is the leading brother.

The British prince cannot be blamed for the erosion of the Beijing camp, the key is that there is no money, because the money to raise the Beijing camp army comes from the internal treasury, that is, the emperor's private treasury, so the camp affairs of the Beijing camp are basically managed by the lieutenant officials sent by the palace.

During the Apocalypse, the number of troops on the books of the Beijing camp was 200,000, but the actual strength was less than 50,000, and now there are only more than 30,000 people.

Although the Beijing camp was not able to fight, it was still an army, and there were more than 30,000 people. There are also more than 100,000 military households in the guards in various parts of Shuntianfu, and although these more than 100,000 people have almost become peasants, they are peasants with weapons.

Wang Yue hoped that these people would be resolved peacefully and that all security risks around Shuntianfu would be eliminated, rather than using the forces of the Tiance Army to monitor them. Especially those military households, now they are honest peasants, you can't just collect weapons and disarm people for no reason, right? In fact, they are not much armed, and their knives and guns may be rusty.

"Father-in-law, after all, you are the governor of the Chinese military governor's mansion, and the current situation in Jingying, although most of them are done by the lieutenants, you also have an unshirkable responsibility. My son-in-law is here today to discuss with you how to solve the problem in Beijing. ”

The responsibility that Wang Yue said, Zhang Zhiji didn't take it seriously at all, his family was a top honorable relative. The problem of the Beijing camp is very complicated, it has been caused by decades, if you really want to investigate, the emperor is the culprit, all the lords and relatives in the capital are involved, and there are many eunuchs in the palace, which is called the law does not blame the public.

However, Wang Yue said that he wanted to solve the problem of Jingying, but Zhang Zhiji became curious: "What can you do to solve the problem of Jingying?" Unless you can come up with the silver. ”

Now that the starting point city has reached an understanding with the imperial court, Zhang Zhiji doesn't think that Wang Yue wants to eliminate the Jingying, and he will eliminate it early, so he thinks of the silver, after all, Wang Yue has money.

"No, no, no!" Wang Yue waved his hand again and again and said: "That's a bottomless pit, no amount of silver can be filled, and it is impossible for the son-in-law to fund the training of the army for the imperial court. ”

Zhang Zhiji's face darkened when he heard this, because he was also this kind of person.

Seeing his expression, Wang Yue hurriedly apologized: "Father-in-law, I didn't mean you, don't sit in the right seat." ”

Although Zhang Zhiji has never been to the starting point city to watch a movie, he doesn't understand the meaning of being seated, but the meaning is still understood.

Zhang Zhiji said angrily: "If you have something to say, just say it, how do you want to solve it?" ”

Wang Yue said: "It is better to give people fish than to give them fish!" What is the current situation in the Beijing camp and the guards in various parts of Shuntianfu, my father-in-law should know in his heart that there are few soldiers who can use knives and guns. That's more than 100,000 people, doesn't my father-in-law have any ideas? ”

Zhang Zhi was puzzled: "What can I think?" ”

Wang Yue laughed and said: "My father-in-law has ideas, otherwise it would be impossible to eat empty salaries for more than ten years." ”

"You...!"

Seeing that Zhang Zhiji was about to blow his beard and stare again, Wang Yue hurriedly said: "The little son-in-law said just now that it is better to give people fish than to give them fish." How much do you have to eat in a year? And that's called sitting and eating the mountain, with the current financial situation of the imperial court, the emperor's internal money doesn't have much silver, how much can he allocate to Beijing? ”

What Wang Yue said was the truth, and the annual expenses allocated to Beijing were decreasing year by year.

"That's more than 100,000 people, why don't you want to let these 100,000 people earn you money?"

"Earn money?" Zhang Zhiji suddenly realized: "You mean to let them go to your starting point city to work?" ”

The salary of the starting point city, Zhang Zhiji has heard of it, after all, it is outrageously high, so everyone talks about it as a new thing, most people are laughing at Zhang Zhiji for having a stupid son-in-law, no matter how rich he is, he is not spent like this.

Some time ago, the soldiers of the Beijing camp were fooled by some officers to go to the starting point city to work, Zhang Zhiji also received a report, and there was a similar situation in the guard post on Miyun's side.

As in modern society, not everyone in the system or state-owned enterprises can be free and loose, and it depends on the relationship everywhere.

Although the Beijing camp is erosive and the guard house is dilapidated, the system still exists. The low-level officers took people to the starting point city to work, and there were still a lot of people who were chased back, and most of those who could not listen to the support of the officials were from backgrounds, or those who were unruly.

If you are chased back without a background, then you are embarrassed, and the stick can be greeted vigorously, which is called killing chickens and monkeys. You military households have all run away, who will farm for Lao Tzu? These soldiers in the Beijing camp have all fled, and no one can hold up the façade.

The affairs of the starting point city are complicated, and he has no energy to take care of these things, so Wang Yue asked the British Duke to get this package of things done.

"Exactly!" Wang Yue said affirmatively: "Father-in-law, you think about it, if these hundreds of thousands of people, each person can earn you a tael of silver a month, how much is it a month?" ”

That's more than 100,000 taels, Zhang Zhiji is really not interested in other things, but when he mentioned making money, he immediately came to his senses and said: "You kid mean to let them all work in your starting city?" "If you want to make money, you must go to the starting point city, and now this concept has become a consensus, and then Zhang Zhiji reacted and said: "No, no, if the emperor knows, how can it be?" ”

Wang Yue laughed and said, "Father-in-law, can Jingying still fight now?" Can those military households still pick up knives and guns to serve the imperial court? This is called waste utilization, turning waste into treasure. Although the Beijing camp is a waste, it needs the emperor to support it with silver every month. If the Beijing camp and the military households do their work, but they can bring income to the emperor's internal funds every month, how will the emperor weigh it? ”

"Shhh Zhang Zhiji took a breath of cold air and said, "You mean to let the emperor ......!" ”
