Cheng Yue laughed and said: "The navy is the most expensive, especially when it is expanding the army, it really costs money, and the Marine Corps also needs a lot of money to train soldiers, which is different from before, I know it in my heart." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info Bachelor of Arts, out of duty, of course, has to remind you, otherwise so much money is spent, he can't even ask a word, you don't blame him. ”

Liu Shun said with a smile: "The minister can save it, and it should be the same as the minister." ”

Cui Bin said worriedly: "The governor of the capital, the gold and silver mined by Japan are no longer enough at the moment, and the imperial court has to continuously increase military spending, and now there are 110,000 yuan of troops going south with the governor, and the military salary is not known?" ”

Cheng Yue nodded and smiled: "You said well, for the time being, the court can still hold on, but it won't work after a long time." But you don't have to worry, I just got Japan's twist, Wang Ming has been constantly sending more manpower, since I left Japan, and opened more than a dozen mines, within half a year, the gold and silver mined can be five to ten times more, only silver, the whole year can reach at least 20 million taels or more, gold is more than 500,000 taels, next year will be more, military spending is sure to be enough, just need to get through the current difficulties, big deal I will borrow from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China to turn around. ”

The ministers are too embarrassed to hear, my God!

From Japan, you can get at least 20 million taels of silver and 500,000 taels of gold every year, which is more than enough for a war with Mongolia if these are used for military expenses! No wonder the Metropolitan Governor is determined to take Japan!

Cheng Yue thought for a while and said to Cui Bin: "This time in the southern expedition, I want you to be in charge of money and food with the army." You also have to manage the finances of the places that have been defeated, is that okay? ”

Cui Bin immediately got up and took the order: "The governor of the capital has orders, and the ministers must go all out!" ”

Cheng Yue laughed and said: "Okay, but you also have to think clearly, once the southern expedition goes, it will be protracted, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come back for a while, maybe I will have to follow the western expedition with me directly, which is not as comfortable as Suzhou." ”

Cui Bin said with a smile: "The minister works for the governor of the capital, and he has never thought of living in comfort. ”

Cheng Yue exclaimed: "Good! Let's do something great together! ”

Yin Yu and others then reported to Cheng Yue about the preparations for the merger of the yamen in Suzhou and Lin'an, which was the most important thing for Cheng Yue at the moment, and there could be no problems.

The merger of the two yamen was quite cumbersome and complicated, and it was discussed until the afternoon before the specific provisions were sorted out, which were copied by Zhao Mengfu and the six ladies, which were nearly 10,000 words!

Xie Fang had to wait for the major event to be confirmed, before he stepped forward and said, "Dadu Governor, I don't know the excerpts of the imperial examination, have Dadu Governors seen it?" ”

Cheng Yue nodded and said, "I've seen it, it's a little troublesome." ”

Xie Fang sighed: "This matter is really unexpected, and the minister also opened it to see Tang An'an's name after reviewing all the test papers and ranking them." The minister thought it was a duplicate name, but he sent someone to inquire and learned that it was indeed Tang Anan himself. The minister retried the test papers, and asked all colleagues to judge the papers together, or Tang Anan was the first, and the ministers did not dare to specialize, but asked the metropolitan governor to decide. With that, he took out a few test papers from his sleeve and presented them with both hands.

Cheng Yue took the test paper and reviewed it carefully. The ministers had all seen it, and they were silent for a while, waiting for Cheng Yue to draw conclusions.

There are four test papers, one for mathematics, one for astronomy and geography, one for medicine, and the last one, which is the heaviest countermeasure.

Tang An'an's test papers, mathematics, astronomy, geography and medicine are all full marks, with the most stringent standards, there is no place to deduct points. Not only that, but her handwriting is tall and beautiful, and she hasn't changed a word from beginning to end, even if Cheng Yue answers herself, she can't be better than her!

Cheng Yue shook his head and sighed: "It's really a lot of work." ”

The ministers nodded again and again, and couldn't help but admire.

The last response is the top priority, accounting for half of all achievements. This year's topic is "How to Run the Countries of the South."

The southern expedition is the next big thing, and the reason why Cheng Yue urgently wants to recruit a large number of talents is because of this, so the topic is easy to guess. But the problem is, it's not easy to write if you can guess!

First of all, how many people know the details of the southern countries? If it is generalized, it is obviously just empty talk. Secondly, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, how should the countermeasures of the Great Song Dynasty be arranged? Except for Cheng Yue, there are very few people who know, talk nonsense, and don't get high scores. Again, how to use the troops in the Great Song Dynasty is another big problem. Without considerable insight, it will inevitably degenerate into a joke. In the end, it is easy to conquer, but difficult to govern, and it is a time to test practice. Those who are prone to boasting about the so-called "soothing the distance with virtue" will all be eliminated.

Tang An'an's policy theory, the information is detailed, step by step, in simple terms, quite literary and martial, seeing the highlights, Cheng Yue can't help but be amazed!

After Cheng Yue finished reading, he sighed and said, "I didn't expect that among the women, there are people who can understand Nanzheng so thoroughly. ”

Xie Fangde smiled bitterly: "Exactly, although this policy is not as far-sighted as the Metropolitan Governor, the insight in it is far beyond the reach of ordinary students, even if it is placed in the men's examination paper, it is also outstanding." The minister could not demote it against his will, so he had to ask the governor of the capital to adjudicate it. ”

Cheng Yue was silent for a long time and asked, "Let's put up the public list tomorrow, or arrange it in order of stroke." All the people on the list followed us to Lin'an, and immediately entered the yamen to watch the government. After you have observed, you have selected the right people to learn the languages of the southern countries and march south with the army. ”

The ministers are commanded. Cheng Yue continued: "In addition, send someone to find Tang Anan tomorrow and ask her to come here the day after tomorrow, and I want to meet her." Her whereabouts are up to me. ”

Xie Fang couldn't wait to get rid of this burden, and said, "Yes, this matter is handled by the minister." ”

Li Tingzhi said: "Metropolitan Governor, a few days ago, there was news from Lin'an, a few adults asked the two saints for the Metropolitan Governor, and wanted to fight for a throne for the Metropolitan Governor. Ah, no, the Metropolitan Governor also married two princesses, which can be described as four joys! ”

Cheng Yue said with a smile: "I don't care if I am crowned king or not, the size of the house is the same, as for the wife, it will be mine sooner or later anyway, and I am not in a hurry." I am glad that you can return to the dynasty to take up your post, and the reform of the Great Song Dynasty can really begin, and the rest is just some embellishment. ”

The ministers were greatly moved when they heard this, and the so-called death of a confidant is nothing more than that!

At noon, Cheng Yue had already invited them to eat, seeing that it was getting late, Cheng Yue simply invited them to dinner again, and also cooked himself and made a few fresh dishes.
