"Well, I didn't expect you to finally be smart again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info No wonder these ministers would be so happy to hear you say that you were going to use the money from the inner treasury and then come to Zongdao. After understanding Xiao Mukopu's difference between the "treasury" and the "inner treasury", Lin Yi also agreed with his approach, "Of course, you can't let the ministers develop dependence on your inner treasury, otherwise no matter how big or small, they will count on your inner treasury, and the money in the inner treasury will be spent quickly." ”

"That's what I thought, so I left 600,000 taels to prepare for emergencies." Xiao Mu also nodded and replied, "Moreover, there is another reason, that is, even if all the two million taels that Zhangjiakou copied are used, there is no way to solve these two things at the same time, according to the preliminary estimate of the household department, whether it is to rebuild the disaster relief in Zhejiang, or to rebuild the Fujian Navy, and to exterminate the pirate leader Zheng Zhilong, the silver required is more than 1.5 million." ”

"In that case, are you planning to solve only one of these two things?" Lin Yi also heard the meaning of Xiao Mu's words, and when he connected it to the figure he just said about leaving 600,000 taels, he naturally came to this inference.

"Yes, the rebuilding of the water division is not something that can be achieved in one or two days, and even a year and a half may not have an effect, taking a step back, even if it takes three years and five years to finally rebuild the water division in Fujian, Zheng Zhilong's strength at that time has long been unknown, and the rebuilt new water division is not necessarily Zheng Zhilong's opponent, so it is really risky to spend so much money on rebuilding Fujian's water division." Xiao Mu nodded again and replied, "Moreover, at the moment, the imperial court is not too much money to have no place to use it, and so many disaster victims in Zhejiang are still waiting for relief, compared with the two, it is more appropriate to use the money for disaster relief." ”

"Do all the ministers and ministers agree with this plan?" Ringo asked.

"That's the main issue of today's discussion." Xiao Mu replied, and Lin Yi could see that this question gave Xiao Mu a headache, "Those pavilion elders think that disaster relief should be given priority, and some think that the extermination of the Haikou should be given priority, and there are also those who advocate two things at the same time, and persuade me to take out the remaining 600,000 taels of silver to use, listening to them quarrel all day, my head is going to be big." ”

"Then how did you come up with the decision to prioritize disaster relief over rebuilding the Marine?" Based on Lin Ye's understanding of Xiao Mu, he shouldn't be the kind of person who is particularly assertive, and it stands to reason that so many courtiers have different opinions, and he should be very hesitant.

"Didn't I just analyze it very clearly, the reconstruction of the Fujian Water Division has not been effective in a short period of time, and the victims of the disaster in Zhejiang will die many more people if they don't eat for a few days, aren't these two options easy for me and me to make a choice?" Xiao Mu replied as a matter of course.

"Then why do the ministers disagree?" Lin asked again.

"Because they are different from you and me, we have traveled through the modern society of later generations, and of course we attach the most importance to disasters and human life. However, the officials of this time and space often paid more attention to the land of the imperial court, after all, the pirates occupied the land along the coast of Fujian, and if they did not take it back, it would inevitably damage the prestige of the imperial court. Xiao Mu replied with some disappointment, "As for human life, there are still obvious people in this time and space, and in the places affected by the disaster in Zhejiang, those high-level rich and powerful people will naturally not be in danger of their lives, and those ordinary people who are really in danger of their lives are inferior pariahs, and their lives are of course worthless." ”

After saying the above words, Xiao Mu's expression was not very natural, because the education and influence he received since he was a child made him know how ruthless and harsh and without mercy he just said, Xiao Mu dared to be 100% sure that in his original time and space, any official of the country would definitely be spurned by tens of millions of people and become the target of public criticism.

"Well, it's true that there are a lot of differences between our thinking and the officials of this plane." Lin Yi also understood what Xiao Mu meant, "But since the money is prioritized for relief to the victims in Zhejiang, what are you going to do about Fujian?" After all, the current Fujian team is already undefended by Zheng Zhilong, if his confidence swells one day and he really calls himself the king and the emperor, wouldn't it be a super big trouble? ”

Xiao Mu denied Lin Ye's statement, "This is unlikely, no matter how powerful Zheng Zhilong is, it is only on the coastal water, if he goes deep inland, he will definitely not be the opponent of the Ming official army, so he can only occupy some coastal areas at best, and he can't become a big climate at all, and he won't have the courage to call the king and the emperor, you must know that the 'king' and 'emperor' in this time and space are very valuable, unlike us in later generations, when everyone jokes, we can call it casually." ”

"But you can't just let it go, can you? How to say that this Zheng Zhilong is also a big hidden danger in the imperial court. Lin Yi was obviously not very satisfied with Xiao Mu's answer just now, "According to you, the current Houjin will not be able to become a big climate in theory, but you and I both know that after more than ten years in the original history, the Qing soldiers entered the customs. ”

"Of course I can't just let him go." Xiao Mu denied it again, "Actually, in addition to the two express deliveries at Wang Jingyuan's house, after I returned to the palace, I also received a note, and when I discussed with them, after they decided to give priority to disaster relief, the rest of the time was all about arguing about whether this note was feasible. ”

"Oh? Why didn't I hear you mention it? When Lin Yi heard that there was still information that he didn't know, of course he had to find out about it as soon as possible.

"It's an official named Xiong Wencan, and he said that he had a solution to Zheng Zhilong's threat." Xiao Mu replied.

"Xiong Wencan? What kind of official is this person? Lin Yi, who heard another unfamiliar name, continued to ask.

"The governor of Fujian, he is naturally a major protagonist in this Fujian issue, otherwise how could he be nosy and negligent?" Xiao Mu replied, "What this Xiong Wencan means is that you can solve Zheng Zhilong's problem without a single soldier or a single piece of silver." ”

Looking at Lin Yi's suspicious eyes, Xiao Mu had no choice but to continue to explain Xiong Wencan's reciprocal content to her before she saw that she was about to ask questions again, "That is to say, this Fujian governor Xiong Wencan advocates using the method of recruiting Zheng Zhilong to solve the problem. ”
