Shen Li deeply understands a truth.

The losses caused by the war are not the greatest losses, but the secondary damage to the warring areas caused by the collapse of management and the failure of laws after the war is the most terrible, and it often brings devastating blows to the war zone, and this damage is almost irreversible.

For example, the most terrible lesson of the ancients - after the great plague there must be a great plague.

Fortunately, it is the bitter cold season, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune, in case it is the height of summer, the corpses everywhere have nowhere to hide, but can only rot, breeding a large number of terrible germs, causing a terrible plague, because of the plague many more people die because of the war directly than because of the war.

But because it is the cold season of early spring, it is expected that the cold spring is already bone-chilling, and now more people will freeze to death.

If the imperial court fails to properly accommodate these refugees, more people will die from freezing than they will die from the war.

There is also an even more serious food problem, the current problem of food shortage has not been solved, last year the entire northern region was reduced on a large scale, and there was a serious shortage of grain, and the grain transferred from Jiangnan was given priority to the supply of officials and the army, and at present the food rations of the refugees in the Jingshi area could be solved, and if there were tens of thousands of more refugees in Shanxi, then ......

As soon as Shen Li's words came out, several bigwigs looked at him with unhappy eyes.

False seriousness!

Which of you here are not the elites who have been trained from the grassroots? Will they not know?

No one can't think of this joint, it's just that everyone doesn't want to think about it for the time being.

In other words, it is necessary to wait until the political goal has been achieved before considering these things.

It's not that they are too cold-blooded, but under the pressure of the political environment, they have long been unable to think normally, just imagine, the court party is fierce, and the Jin party naturally has to fight for enough relief food and disaster relief funds for their hometown, but is you the only one in Shanxi who was affected by the disaster in the Ming Dynasty?

Everyone has been affected by the disaster, but your degree is a little worse, but I am not without the disaster, the imperial court's disaster relief funds and positive food are always limited, you want to take all the flowers, what should we do?

Moreover, if the things that the Jin Party wants to do are done, doesn't it mean that they are going to revive again? The portion of food that belongs to us is going to help our political enemies recover, and then come and fight us for power......

How can such a thing be done? Is this something that people can do? It is inevitable to wait for the complete collapse of the Jin Party, and then to clean up the mess in Shanxi, so that everyone can get certain benefits, and those people and places that are rescued can become their own help.

Officialdom is very realistic, why should people and places that can't be helped? Evaluate the pacesetter of mercy?

Instead of helping the enemy recover, let's revive ourselves, as for the people......

I'm sorry, but it's only your fault that you were born in Shanxi!

Political animals can do anything for political purposes, their discipline value has long fallen below the limit of living beings, and there is no intelligent creature whose discipline value is lower than that of political animals, they are all the same, no one is nobler than the other.

Shen Li may have his own conscience and pursuit, but he is not Wang Yangming, he can't maintain his original ideals in the dark, he has come to this position today, without a behind-the-scenes promoter, no dirty political deals, no own interest groups, that is impossible.

The limit of what he can do is to give full play to his kindness on the basis of ensuring the interests of the promoters behind him.

This was his final conscience.

He couldn't bear to see the people of Shanxi bleeding because of this conspiracy, the people of Daming were too bitter, he just wanted to make them a little easier, at least ...... You want to save your own life, right?

However, such a requirement alone may be difficult to meet, because there are too many people who are more ruthless than him, and there are seven or eight in front of him.

It seemed that Shen Li was helping Yang Junmin speak, and Shi Xing felt uncomfortable.

"Then this is also Yang Shangshu's business, he has been in charge of the household department and the world's money warehouse for so many years, the deficit of one year is higher than one year, and the income of one year is less than one year, eat next year's grain this year, and eat the next year's grain next year! Just eat food like this, how long can we eat?

At present, the turmoil in Shanxi has not subsided, the displaced people will inevitably multiply, the task of post-war reconstruction is arduous, and the silver and grain needed are an astronomical amount, where does this silver come from? Where does the food come from? ”

Shen Li's brows furrowed.

"Shibutang, you are the secretary of the military department, don't worry about these household affairs!"

Shi Xing smiled coldly and nodded.

"Okay! Shen Ge Lao, I don't care about these, this is a matter of the household department, it is civil affairs, and it is not my turn to take care of it! But I'm the secretary of the military department, and I'll take care of the military affairs! After this battle, the number of Ming soldiers lost is probably not a few, once the war is over, regardless of the result, the meritorious soldiers will always be rewarded, and the soldiers who died in the war must always be compensated! This is the most basic! How do you calculate this money? ”

What Shi Xing said sounded like he was scolding Yang Junmin, but in fact, he wanted Shen Li not to talk nonsense, now that it is a critical moment, don't jump out, otherwise you will be scolded together!

How could Shen Li's temper be endured?

"Japan's compensation silver will arrive soon! 650,000 taels of silver, isn't it enough for you?! ”

Shi Xinggan laughed twice.

"Shen Ge Lao, don't talk about the 650,000 taels, the 650,000 taels of silver in the third quarter of next year have been booked for 630,000 taels, and the 650,000 taels of silver set sail from Japan, loaded and unloaded into the land of the Ming Dynasty in Tianjin, and then transported to Jingshi, they will not enter the treasury, they will be directly pulled away, and then they will evaporate in the world!"

Shen Li's face froze, and then it seemed as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end, so he could only look at Yang Junmin helplessly.

Yang Junmin's face was pale, of course he knew that the account books of the household department in these years were a bad account, and if he really wanted to spread it out, it was estimated that except for Hai Rui, who had been dead for a long time, no one in the Manchu Dynasty could get rid of this bad account, and everyone had some problems more or less.

I originally thought that an extra 2.6 million taels of silver a year could improve the financial situation of the Ming Dynasty, but I didn't expect that the income would increase, and the appetite of these corrupt officials and corrupt officials would also expand, and their appetite adaptability was simply the first in the world, and they would swallow the extra silver in minutes.

All kinds of excuses and excuses, all of which are things that I can't refuse and can't refuse at all, this kind of thing has become an unspoken rule of officialdom since decades ago, how can I oppose it?

Many things are not something that can be done if you want to, which Yang Junmin knows very well, and now this matter is unsolvable, because he really has no silver in his hands.
