Regarding the question raised by Li Hao, Song Yingchang definitely did not think about it, nor did he think of it, on the contrary, he knew that North Korea would definitely propose such a thing, and the Ming Dynasty got so much compensation from Japan, in fact, Xiao Ruxun was also in the name of the righteousness of North Korea, thinking that the Japanese wanted the loss of 500,000 people in North Korea, and this alone gave Xiao Ruxun an excuse to have millions of taels of silver.

But should I say it or not, if this money is not for the desperate struggle of the Ming army, it will not be able to get it, the situation in North Korea is not good, is it good for the Ming Dynasty, a giant who is gradually entering his twilight years? Daming is not good, Daming's income is as low, the same as pointing to these indemnities to clean up the domestic mess, using this silver to do something, if it is distributed to the North Koreans, North Korea will have no problem, but Daming's problem will be big.

Song Yingchang knew what shameless things those bureaucrats had done, these days, those bureaucrats learned that the Ming Dynasty was going to get a huge amount of compensation, and they were gearing up to spend this amount of money, and the plans that would quarrel in the court in previous years, such as building the palace, the Great Wall, the city, the Chi Road, and the river, were all proposed.

The Ministry of Industry wants silver, the Ministry of War wants silver, the Ministry of Household also wants silver, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment also go up to join in the fun, and the Ministry of Officials also wants to ask for silver with an ugly face, this one costs hundreds of thousands of taels, that one costs hundreds of thousands of taels, this lion asks for one million taels in one breath, and divides the amount of tens of millions of taels of silver between three and five by two, and the complacent appearance is really disgusting.

It is said that this plan was known by the emperor, and the emperor directly issued an order to the six Shangshu, and the six Shangshu scolded the dog's blood, and the whole was fined for one year, and the plan was ordered to be invalidated, and the decree said that the indemnity needed to be used under the arrangement of the emperor and the cabinet, and the six departments were not allowed to arrange the use of it privately, and the silver would enter the treasury once it arrived in the capital, and the treasury would be guarded by a brocade guard, and any department that wanted to use silver must be handed over and reported to the emperor and the cabinet in advance.

The emperor said that the first thing to do was to pay the officials the arrears accumulated over the years, and everything else would be said later.

The six ministries were collectively stunned, and then they couldn't wait to start drafting a plan to use silver, and they first started a dog-eat-dog between each other, and the previous harmonious atmosphere was gone, this one asked for money and that one also needed money, and the quarrels between various departments were inextricable.

The Ming court is poor and afraid, and it will not die when it looks at the silver, so the situation in the country is so turbulent, how do you ask Song Yingchang to respond to Li Hao's expectations?

Li Hao is really looking forward to getting a sum of silver, not much, hundreds of thousands of taels is good, the Ming Dynasty takes ninety, North Korea takes one, that is also a huge amount of money for North Korea, which is not a large territory, can live a difficult life, not just starve to death, now the situation in North Korea is indeed like this, as soon as the Japanese come, they will burn and loot, burn houses and fields, this year's spring ploughing in North Korea is delayed, many places can not organize spring ploughing, there are not enough officials, and the displaced people cannot organize, so that many fields will be abandoned for a year.

Li Hao asked Song Yingchang for help at that time, and Song Yingchang also generously sent twenty or thirty officials accompanying him to help the North Koreans organize spring ploughing, but at present, they can only do a good job in Seoul generation, and many remote areas are beyond the reach of the whip, if nothing else, North Korea will face a food shortage next year, and this food shortage will inevitably need the support of the Ming Dynasty.

Song Yingchang understood that Li Hao wanted to make a deal with Daming, and before Daming didn't need to use North Korea, so Li Hao could only be cheeky, and now Daming needs to use North Korea, and North Korea also wants to take this opportunity to get some benefits.

This is also normal, not out of line, after all, everyone has to eat, not to let the North Koreans eat enough, resulting in a large number of displaced people, when the time comes, it will still trouble the Ming Dynasty, if the Ming really wants North Korea, he has already agreed to Li Hao's internal request to directly annex North Korea, and the Ming Dynasty keeps North Korea as a barrier, anyway, North Korea has always been respectful to the Ming Dynasty and is very honest.

"In this way, your majesty, if you can send troops to guard Tsushima Island, the old man will ask the Ming Emperor for 50,000 taels of disaster relief silver to be allocated to North Korea."

Song Yingchang will not be stupid to open his mouth is hundreds of thousands, if he wants to lower Li Hao's expectations, he can't give Li Hao the impression that Da Ming is very rich, otherwise this guy can really treat Da Ming as a money bag, climb up the pole, and don't care about the difference between relatives and relatives.

"Fifty thousand taels? Song Gong, this ...... That's a little too little, isn't it? Xiao Wang heard that Da Ming got four million taels of silver! Can't you have more of this? ”

Li Hao's face suddenly became unsightly.

Song Yingchang put on a bitter look.

"Your Majesty, you don't know, Da Ming is also embarrassed, Da Ming did get four million compensation silver, but this is compensation in five years, a year Da Ming can only get 800,000 taels, and it is not delivered now, it will take about half a year for the country to send the silver, you are so anxious to use the money, Da Ming can only pay out of his own pocket, but Da Ming has just finished this battle, you say that Da Ming has a few children in his pocket?

Your Majesty, you have to think about others a little bit in this way of life and work, the Ming Dynasty has said everything about the benevolence and righteousness of North Korea, but now the Ming Dynasty also needs a lot of money to provide disaster relief, to pensions, to sort out logistics, to deal with things after the war, many soldiers need to be rewarded, many generals need to be rewarded, where is there so much money turnover? Your Majesty, if you think about it, is this the truth? ”

Li Hao stopped talking, lowered his head, and looked like an angry little daughter-in-law.

"That's what I said, but, but Song Gong, the 50,000 taels of silver is really too little, it's not even enough to plug the gaps, the deficit in the treasury of North Korea is too big, and we don't have anything to do, you say this...... What can I do? ”

Song Yingchang had a bitter face, sighed, and said, "Then, the old man will add another 30,000?" Eighty thousand taels, no more! If there are more, Daming won't be able to stand it! ”

"One hundred thousand! Just 100,000, Song Gong, please ask Daming to help North Korea for the last time, 100,000 taels of silver, and then the matter, if the king does not handle it well, he will give it to His Majesty the Emperor of Daming, abdicate and make way for Xian, and no longer be the king of North Korea! Song Gong, what do you think? ”

Li Hao looked at Song Yingchang nervously, for fear that if he heard a "no" word from his mouth, he would collapse.

His prayer seemed to be heard by the heavens, and he saw Song Yingchang in a dilemma, his face was cloudy, and finally he slapped the table as if he had made up his mind.

"Good! 100,000 is 100,000, old man will help you this time! But if you don't keep Tsushima Island well, the Ming Emperor will definitely come to you to ask you for your guilt! ”

Li Hao often breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "I will not disappoint the Ming Emperor and the Duke of Song!" ”
