Zhu Dadian heard the emperor use the word "please", and he was happy in his heart, being an official to his status is not just for the sake of face, now that the emperor is treating himself like this, he must serve the emperor.

Zhu Dadian was born in the ninth year of Wanli, and he is sixty-five years old this year, and the old man's beard is white, but his spirit is not bad, and he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is quite familiar with military affairs, so the minister has something to say." Your Majesty should not be too arrogant to those military men, the minister heard that the monthly money of an ordinary soldier is three silver dollars, which can be reduced to one, and the firearms do not need to be fully equipped, they can be divided into five or five, so that they can equip twice as many troops, and the combat effectiveness has not been significantly weakened! ”

Zhu Dadian's words are very pertinent, at present, there is no second good way except to reduce the treatment of the military, of course, there is another one, that is, to reduce the treatment of civilian officials, but how can Zhu Dadian, as a civilian official, say so.

Zhu Dadian thought that what he said was very right, he still had a short time in the gang, and he didn't know how high the status of the army in Zhu Hongsan's military group was. As soon as Old Man Zhu finished speaking, he listened to a few loud voices on the side scolding: "What are you talking about old bastard? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu hacked you to death? ”

In the main hall, there were civil and military ministers who observed the meeting, not to mention the civil ministers, and there were also several military generals. On the army side, Qian Yong, the governor of Nanjing, was the leader, as well as several other officers such as Han Sanqiang, the commander of the Praetorian Guard Division, and the navy was the old pirate Yan Qingshan. Yan Ditang has been old in the past few years, and he doesn't want to go to sea to make a living, so he stays in Nanjing for retirement with peace of mind. Today, when I heard that Zhu Dadian was going to reduce the treatment of the army, the hot-tempered Yan Dijar naturally wanted to ask for an explanation for his class.

"Your Lao Zhu family is a bunch of pigs, Lao Tzu is working the front line, raising your group of pigs and then framing Lao Tzu behind his back, and when he goes back, Lao Tzu will take someone to burn your pig nest!"

Yan Qingshan relied on the fact that he was Zhu Hongsan's cheap old man, and how tall he jumped in the tank, jumping behind and scolding Zhu Dadian, a stinking scolding from his ancestral grandmother. Of course, he didn't dare to learn from the civil officials, but he was addicted to scolding, and in the end, he couldn't control it and began to scold the ancestors of the Zhu family. Yan Qingshan forgot that there was another person surnamed Zhu in the main hall, that is, Emperor Zhu Hongsan.

Zhu Hongsan was originally unhappy that Yan Qingshan was scolding, but after all, he was his father-in-law, so it was hard to say anything, how could he think that this old guy would scold more and more, Zhu Hongsan stood up angrily and pointed at Yan Qingshan and scolded: "What are you old bastard scolding?" Have you forgotten that Lao Tzu is also surnamed Zhu? Come on, put this old bastard in prison for Lao Tzu! No! Pull it out first and give Lao Tzu twenty sticks! ”

As a son-in-law, Zhu Hongsan was probably the only one who scolded his father-in-law for being an old bastard, and the brocade guards standing guard outside the hall rushed in after hearing the emperor's order, dragged Yan Qingshan out of the hall, and directly pressed him on the ground at the door and began to spank. Jin Yiwei and these guys watched people put down dishes, and knew that this old guy was the emperor's father-in-law, so he didn't dare to fight with his heart, but he just broke the skin, but it looked bloody and scary.

Yan Qingshan was beaten in order to defend the interests of the military, and it was really bad for Qian Yong, who was also a general of the army, not to speak, and any land-sea dispute at this time was an internal contradiction.

Qian Yong led a few military generals to stand up and kneel down and said: "Your Majesty, General Yan has fought for Your Majesty for many years, and there is no merit and hard work, please spare the old general!" ”

Zhu Hongsan's order to beat Yan Qingshan's board was not all for him to scold, but also for the elements of supporting the civil officials, after all, these stinky old nine masters speech, and they don't want to be written as tyrants by them. Now Qian Yong and other generals came out to intercede, and Zhu Hongsan just borrowed the slope to get off the donkey.

Zhu Hongsan was just about to speak, how did he know that Zhu Dadian was not satisfied, when he was the governor in the past, those soldiers dared to be dissatisfied, and the general soldiers of the second grade had to kneel when they saw the seventh grade of the county, and now someone dared to scold him, which really made Zhu Dadian angry.

"Your Majesty, this Yan Qingshan roaring court is disrespectful to Your Majesty and should be executed! Set an example! ”

Qian Yong was very dissatisfied when he heard Zhu Dadian say this, you old guy still dare to fall into the well. Qian Yong said in a low voice: "Lord Zhu, I heard that Lord Zhu's family is in Jinhua, take care of your body!" Qian Yong's threatening meaning is obvious, that is, you old guy pay attention, and provoke the uncle to go to your hometown and pretend to be a bandit to kill your whole family.

This is the first time Zhu Dadian has been threatened by soldiers, and he was just about to get angry, when he happened to see Qian Qianyi shaking his head at himself. Zhu Dadian's heart trembled, thinking that he had just arrived at the central government and did not understand the power operation structure, these soldiers dared to say such things, it seems that the backstage is also very hard, it is better not to suffer the losses in front of them.

There was no objection, and Zhu Hongsan also ordered Jinyiwei to stop the court staff and escort Yan Qingshan down to recuperate from his injuries.

After watching the farce, Yan Qingshan also lifted it down, Ma Mingyuan stood up with a cough, and said, "Your Majesty."

, the minister has something to say! ”

There was a commotion in the hall just now, and the seven pavilion elders didn't say a word, because those didn't matter at all, and it was these seven people who decided the matter in the end. Now that Ma Mingyuan is standing up, everyone knows that the bigwigs of various factions are going to speak.

Ma Mingyuan began to speak after getting Zhu Hongsan's permission: "Colleagues, we are all pillars of the country, we know that it is not easy to govern the country, so don't mention those unrealistic issues, just now everyone heard from this official, the income of a year is so much, the war still has to be fought, the money still has to be paid, and the disasters in various places still have to be relieved, let's talk about what to do!" "The big guy just speaks differently, don't talk about those useless things, let's have some dry goods!

Ma Mingyuan spoke, Tong Yangjia couldn't be idle, stood up and said: "Ma Ge Lao said very reasonably, now the Manchu Qing Dynasty is on the north bank of the Yangtze River, Yangzhou is still in the hands of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and King Gui, who is entrenched in Guangxi, does not respect the will of heaven and insists on confronting the imperial court, these are all problems that need to be solved realistically, so now the military affairs are important, but just now Ma Ge Lao also said that the country's financial difficulties are difficult, and our military department also takes a step back, next year's only need fifteen million silver dollars, which is the same as this year!" ”

Tong Yangjia's words annoyed the other elders, and Fu Wenlong, who was in charge of the Ministry of Industry, stood up and said, "Elder Tong Ge, you said that your military department is important, aren't we important?" Now the whole country is in ruins, Nanzhili and Zhejiang, Jiangxi's grain-producing areas have not been renovated for three years, and there are two months to spring ploughing season. There is also the Nanjing Imperial City has not been renovated for more than 200 years, the Fengtian Temple was burned by the fire in the orthodox years and has not been repaired until now, His Majesty now has to squeeze into the Wenhua Palace, how to guarantee the prestige of the country without investing money? ”

As soon as Fu Wenlong finished speaking, Qian Qianyi stood up on the side and continued: "Then what should we do with the Ministry of Rites?" Next year is the country's talent ceremony, the imperial examination has been stopped for six years from the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and the Manchu Qing in the north held the first imperial examination last year, I heard that a large number of literati went to participate in the examination, so that people will be attracted by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. For the sake of the great plan, the imperial examination must not be stopped, and the imperial examination must be reopened in September next year, and the silver two of our Ministry of Rites must be guaranteed! ”

Although Qian Qianyi is good friends with Tong Yangjia, as the leading brother of the Ministry of Rites, he does not fight for his subordinates who will work for him in the future.

At the beginning of the year, after Huang Yingxiu was run away by Qian Qianyi, the Organization Department and the Personnel Department were managed by Liu Dalin. Liu Dalin is a native of Qiongzhou, and his legs and feet are not good and he has difficulty moving, but seeing that the elders of the cabinet stand up to compete for interests regardless of their identities, Liu Dalin also struggled and said: "You all say that you are important, isn't the ministry important?" No matter what the policy, in the end, it is not up to the officials to solve it, so next year's officials' salaries must not be reduced! In fact, Liu Dalin's words are equivalent to saying in vain, all the officials here, how can their own knives sharpen their own handles? Liu Dalin said this just to remind him of the meaning of his existence.

Everyone else stood up and grabbed the silver dollar, and Jiang Yueguang, who was in charge of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Police, had no choice but to stand up and say a few words. Jiang Yueguang was originally the cabinet elder of the Hongguang Dynasty, and although he used to fight very well in the cabinet, there was still no one who stood up directly to fight for interests like this, after all, they were all scholars and paid attention to face.

But the Shenwu Imperial Court is different from the Hongguang Dynasty, if you don't stand up and rob these guys, you can really share the interests that belong to you. It is important to know that the Ministry of Police is in charge of the inspection departments throughout the country, as well as the inspection departments of the provinces, and the patrol of the coastal provinces, and it is also the department of power with a large number of individuals. Jiang Yueguang, as a family member, if he doesn't compete for interests, his subordinates won't work next year, and they will wait for death with a dead salary!

"Our Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Police also need funds to handle cases, and now that all provinces in the country have just recovered, there are bandits and grass bandits everywhere, and there is a shortage of personnel in the inspection departments in various places, and the weapons are old, all of which need funds, and we must not be missing!"

Tong Yangjia saw that these pavilion elders stood up to compete for interests regardless of their status, and smiled contemptuously and said: "You guys, one by one, you usually talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, why don't you talk about it now?" Jiang Yueguang, you hold yourself a famous person in Jiangxi, why do you fight for these blockages regardless of your identity? If the military department of this officer is fundamental, if the military department is not allocated sufficient food and salary, what will the army be unable to resist the Manchu Qing at that time? Do you use your farmland and water conservancy, Jinshi to raise people, and officials and Xingbu to resist the Qing army? I don't care about the rest, our military department will definitely not be able to lose a silver dollar next year! ”

Tong Yangjia's voice was unanimously agreed by all the military generals, and Qian Yong beat the side drum on the side: "Ladies and gentlemen, you really can't reduce the use of the army, think about it, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is on the north bank of the Yangtze River, not for yourself but also for the safety of Your Majesty!" ”

Ma Mingyuan saw several cabinet ministers arguing, and said to Chen Zizhuang, the first assistant who was still sitting in the chair with his eyes closed: "Lord Chen, the fight is about to start, you have something to say!" ”
