"The matter of funding will be studied when your affairs are completely decided, but it really can't be done, I will go to the household department to fight the famine for you, and I have to make up enough of your money to say anything." Zhang Juzheng said.

At the mention of silver, Zhang Juzheng frowned, and it seemed that he was even more worried than Hubu Shangshu.

"The imperial court is so tight?" Besides, he asked.

"There is not enough everywhere, and the annual rent is not enough to cover the expenses. This is still the low level of officials, if the officials' income is higher, they can't support it at all, I sometimes wonder how the officials in the Tang and Song dynasties were so high? Zhang Juzheng muttered to himself.

"During the Tang and Song dynasties, there was a multi-currency circulation at the same time, not simply relying on silver and copper coins, cloth, grain, and tea can be circulated in the market, so there were few large-scale silver shortages and money shortages, especially the circulation of silk silk to a large extent to solve the phenomenon of insufficient silver and copper coins. The cloth and silk of this dynasty have basically withdrawn from the market, and the degree of dependence on silver is too great. Besides, he said boldly.

"Well, what you said makes sense, the ancients valued silk more than silver. During the Tang Taizong period, an uncle of the eldest grandson queen was questioned for stealing the silk of the treasury, and the officials of this dynasty were all stealing silver, and no one stole the silk silk. Zhang Juzheng thought about it and felt that there was some truth in what he said.

"Yes, silk silk in the Tang and Song dynasties is a kind of money, and the universality is greater than silver, so as not to rely too much on silver, we have no large silver mines and copper mines in China, and we can only rely on overseas imports, but now the silver imported from overseas cannot supply the needs of the imperial court at all, which causes a silver shortage, and the same is true for copper. During the Tang and Song dynasties, although silk silk was valuable, it could be produced by itself, that is, it was possible to produce money locally, and there were no such troubles as it is now. Besides.

"Well, that's true, but it's hard to return, and now it's no longer feasible to replace silver with local silk silk, so you still have to find a way to increase the input of silver." Zhang Juzheng said.

"Then the only way to do this is to lift the sea ban, and the imperial court will grasp all the overseas trade, instead of cheapening some big families and some local provinces in vain." Besides.

"It's good, but it's too many people to offend. And it is difficult to say whether it can be passed at the imperial court. Zhang Juzheng seemed a little lacking in confidence.

"If the adults and Gao Xiang work together to promote this matter, it is not difficult to do it, those local big families can be forcefully swept away, and some officials at the local level can be replaced." Besides.

"Uh-huh, you just took office, and you want to make a big move?" Zhang Juzheng smiled.

"I'm just talking casually, don't laugh at it." Besides, knowing that all kinds of evils in officialdom are difficult to return, it is not possible to solve the problem with drastic measures, and those strong clans in the local area are even more deeply rooted, and it is not easy to uproot them, these big families have a deep background in the imperial court, otherwise they will not be able to become local powerhouses.

"You said that the emperor let you start from scratch, is it also to pave the way for overseas?" Zhang Juzheng asked.

"I just guess, if adults don't know, it is estimated that only the emperor himself knows." And laughed.

"Not necessarily, the eunuchs around the emperor in the palace still know, but they don't dare to say it easily." Zhang Juzheng said.

Besides, he and Zhang Ju were secretly spying indoors, and the servants were waiting outside to be summoned. The staff didn't dare to bother, but they were bored in a room.

These people thought that it was just a junior who relied on Chen Musa's face to enter Zhang Juzheng's shogunate, so they still looked down on this young talent a little.

According to their assumptions, besides, they are just trained here by Zhang Juzheng, and in the future, they will still have to take the road of the imperial examination, be admitted to the imperial examination, and then be admitted to the Jinshi, and then rely on Zhang Juzheng's cultivation, or start from the county order in one place, or start from the imperial history in the imperial court, and climb up little by little.

According to their thinking, besides, if they can achieve great things in the future, it is only a matter of time before they become a scholar of Shangshu University. But no one could have imagined that it would be like fireworks, and with a snort, it went straight to the clouds, and suddenly rose to the high position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

How can these people not be sad or jealous, they are struggling in Zhang Juzheng's shogunate, even if they can get Zhang Juzheng's cultivation, it will be difficult to climb to such a high position in the future in their official career. Who would have thought that a few days ago, they were still their little brothers, and they would suddenly become members of the imperial court, or members of the Jinyi Guard, the officials of the Jinyi Guard and the ordinary officials are completely two different concepts, which is the closest place to the core of the emperor.

"Say anything all day long to break the gate valve, everyone can use the road of the imperial examination to realize the golden dream, but in the end, it is the background that determines the fate, the family is the son of the noble, and the blood is valuable." An old staff member in his mid-fifties sighed as he pinched the flask.

He himself had no hope, so he was not completely jealous, but disappointed in the phenomenon.

"This is just a special case, not an ordinary phenomenon, isn't Lord Zhang just from a civilian all the way to today's scholar of Shangshu?" A staff member in his thirties said.

Although he was also sad in his heart and lamented the unfairness of fate, the dream in his heart was not completely shattered.

"Besides, the little brother is a special case, but the adult is not a special case? There are thousands of people in the world, how many of them are blessed to be God's teachers? Emperors are rarer than nobles. The old staff member sighed.

"I said Lao Dong, don't you have nothing to do to hit people, you are half buried, we still want to live this life." A young staff member complained.

"You want to live well, who doesn't want to, I also came from your age, I am more ambitious than you at your age, better than your dreams, but in the end it will be nothing."

"Actually, I feel sorry for the little brother, no matter how good Jinyiwei is, no matter how big the official is, he is also a military attaché, now is the time when civilian officials govern the country, what is a military attache, and he is inferior to others." A staff member found a self-soothing point.

"What you said is an ordinary military attaché, Jin Yiwei is in charge of the criminal name, belongs to the judge, not a simple military attaché." One of the staff members retorted.

"That's also a military attaché."

"No, do you know, when the last dynasty was in power, the Jinyi Guard maintained order and guarded the court, and was neither a civil official nor a military attaché."

Several people began to argue, completely forgetting what they were arguing about at the beginning, and instead focused on whether the Jinyi Wei officials belonged to civilian officials or military officials.

Moreover, when he was talking to Zhang Juzheng secretly, the words of these staff members were heard in his ears, and he did not intend to eavesdrop, but his ears were too strong, so he automatically listened to them.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Juzheng asked strangely

"No, I suddenly thought of something else." Besides, he hurriedly gathered his mind and concentrated on talking to Zhang Juzheng.

"It seems that you didn't listen to what I just said." Zhang Juzheng deliberately glared at him.

"I heard it, isn't it the ridiculous thing that I took someone to Fengyang to save people, and after that, Wei Guogong and you helped me cover up the past." Besides.

He did hear it, and Zhang Juzheng somehow suddenly mentioned that he took the elite soldiers of the Wucheng Marquis Mansion and the guards of the Zhongshan Mansion to attack Fengyang to save Zuo Ling.

"Help you cover it up It's a superficial thing, in fact, people with a discerning eye already know what's going on, the emperor was still the crown prince at the time, and he laughed when he heard about it. Guess what the emperor said at the time? ”

"What else can I say, say that I am a child, and I am fooling around." Besides, he laughed.

"No, the emperor said so at the time, since ancient times, Wenchen has not led more troops than Wang Yangming, and since he is a master of science, he can lead troops, is it another Wang Shouren? Did you hear it, the emperor spoke highly of you. I also suddenly thought of this in the past two days, the emperor asked you to form a new Jinyi guard this time, is it because of this, you are still a literati after all, if you can make great contributions with the troops, wouldn't it be in response to the emperor's words. Zhang Juzheng said.

"What did the emperor say?" Besides, I couldn't help but lean forward.

"Of course, I dare to fake the emperor's words." Zhang Juzheng stroked his hair and smiled.

"Doesn't this have anything to do with the opening of the sea ban?" Besides, he cares most about this, which is his dream.

He wants to open up the South China Sea Passage and create a happy land overseas, if he relies entirely on his own strength, it is indeed impossible, if he can use the power of the imperial court, it will be twice the result with half the effort.

"It is possible to open the sea ban, but not so quickly, this matter has to come little by little, slowly let everyone figure it out, and we have to find a way to eliminate the resistance of those families who take advantage of the sea ban, these things are not in a hurry. The emperor asked you to start from scratch and start small, doesn't it also mean to take your time? ”

Besides, he understood, and the problem in his heart was solved, and he stood up and said goodbye.

Zhang Juzheng didn't keep him, he still had a lot of things to discuss with his staff, and it was estimated that he would have to fight at night again.

Besides, when he came out of a corner gate, the guards were waiting for him.

Besides, he didn't get in the car, but wanted to take a walk, which was not far from his house.

The bright moonlight fell on the white snow, reflecting an empty white light, and the surroundings were not so dark, but dream-like ethereal.

"My lord, let's get in the car, it's cold outside." A guard followed him.

"No, I'll go back, you just follow me."

He breathed in the cold and fresh air of the night, and suddenly felt a little hot, and unbuttoned his leather jacket, revealing the flying fish suit inside.

"My lord, be careful of catching a cold." The guards were worried.

Besides, he didn't answer, and walked all the way home.

"How?"

As soon as he came back, Zhou Dingcheng and Murong Yanran greeted him and asked.

"The problem is solved, Master Zhang can ask Qi Shuai to help me train the army."

"Where is Qi Jiguang?" Zhou Dingcheng didn't react for a while.

"Jizhen, he is serving as the chief military officer of Jizhen." Besides.

"Great." Zhou Dingcheng also cheered.

Murong Yanran was not so excited, and there seemed to be hidden worries under her calm expression.
