Jiaqing slapped his chair angrily and said, "Okay, let's discuss this matter later, it's the right thing to sort out next year's budget first." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Emperor Jiajing set the tone, and the matter was put aside for the time being. Yan Song's father and son accepted it when they saw it, and they didn't mention it again. Anyway, this thorn in Li Mo's heart has been planted, and although everyone sympathizes with Li Mo, today is not the time to talk about it.

There's still a tearing war to be fought.

After that, Xiao Tian finally knew what combat effectiveness was. None of the people who can stand in this room are ordinary people, one by one thousand-year-old foxes, every number and every expense they report, Xiao Tian thinks it is very reasonable and necessary, and they all want to nod their heads in agreement.

For example, the Ministry of War said that the border defense line should be repaired a long time ago when the border defense line was to be built next year, and it has been tinkering with it for so many years, but no major project has ever been started.

The Tatars come to make up for it once and make it up for it once, and the Great Wall can't be trained into a line, and it won't work very well at all.

Xiao Tian felt very reasonable, eight million taels of silver to build the Great Wall, this money should be spent.

The military department also said that the salaries of the soldiers were too low, and they were not willing to become soldiers, so they should increase it. Xiaotian thinks it is reasonable. The Ministry of War said that the imperial court's pension has never been initiated, and it should be paid down all these years together, and a certain amount of compensation should be given, and this pension should be paid on time in the future, so that the soldiers will use their lives when they fight on the battlefield. Xiao Tian thought it made sense, and nodded in agreement.

The Ministry of War said that the soldiers had old weapons and should be upgraded, so that they could fight the Tatars to be more combative, and Xiaotian also felt that it made sense.

As a result, as soon as the accounts were settled, the military department alone would have to go to more than 30 million taels of silver, and the other four departments were similar.

In the end, the general ledger, good guy, it turned out to be more than 130 million taels, which is obviously an overrun! Not to mention that Xiao Tian can't earn so much, even if he can earn so much, such a big court must always leave some money to cross the river.

Xiao Tian had no moves, so he could only say helplessly to Jiajing: "Xiao Tian feels that every stroke should be spent, but he really can't make a decision, so it's Your Majesty's holy judgment!" ”

Jiajing is also helpless, when he has no money, he can tear down the roof for this little money. Now that I have money, because of this money, the quarrel is more intense than when I don't have money, this emperor is really not a good career.

simply kicked the ball to Xiao Tian and said, "Huaizhen, what is your opinion?" Say it for my reference, there is a lot of silver that should be spent, but you can't become a fat person by eating in one bite, ordinary people have to calculate how to spend money, right? Huaizhen, which ones do you think can be spent this year, and which ones can be slowed down a little bit, and then spent next year. ”

Xiaotian thinks this is not for me to offend people? His principle of doing things has always been transcendent, not offending at both ends, to put it mildly, this guy is a wall grass, which side is windy and which side is down.

If this is someone else, both sides will definitely not want to see him, and there is no way for such a person to mix in the court. But Xiaotian's status is too special, and this kind of death trick actually makes him quite like a fish in water.

In order not to offend both sides, Xiao Tian and Xi Ni spoke: "The minister thinks that the ministry said that it would give all officials and officials a price increase, and they must agree, and the court has money, and the hundred officials must follow suit." The Ministry of War wants to build the Great Wall, and this money cannot be saved for the major affairs of the country of soldiers. The Ministry of Rites wants to open more schools, which is a cause that will be meritorious for thousands of years, and there is no reason to disagree. The Ministry of Industry wants to build the canal, which is a profitable business, and of course it will be spent. The Criminal Department wants to increase the speed of arrest, and the minister thinks that it is also necessary, and there are more people going to sea recently, and it is indeed a little chaotic. ”

Good guy, he agreed to one of the proposals of the five bigwigs, and continued: "These Qian ministers think that they must be spent, and as for the rest, the ministers should ask Your Majesty to judge it." ”

Jiajing was also quite disdainful of this little slippery head, and said: "According to what you say, after doing these five things, it will only cost more than 40 million taels in total, what do you think you can do with the rest of the money and what you can't?" ”

"The rest of the money, it's better to let the minister intercept it!"

Jiajing couldn't help but complain: "Are you still short of money?" ”

People are of the same mind, and a room of bigwigs are looking at Xiaotian, and it seems that they have the same meaning as Jiajing.

Xiaotian is working overseas, although most of the silver has been handed over to the imperial court, but a considerable part of it has been left by himself, and most of the part left behind will be used to meet his own various expenses, and the remaining small half will go into Xiaotian's private pocket.

Of course, Xiaotian has already said that sooner or later all his money belongs to the imperial court, and it is all used by him to do business, these bigwigs, including Jiajing, no one knows how much money he has in his private pocket now, but with his ability to turn stones into gold, this business must be the most profitable business in the world, it must be an astronomical amount, what else can he ask for money for?

Xiao Tian opened his mouth and said: "The minister thinks so, since the money proposed by the adults should be spent, then the minister still earns less silver, it is better to give the rest of the money to the minister, and let the minister use them to earn more money, so that next year the adults will propose again, and they will be approved." ”

Xiaotian continued: "The minister thinks that he can use this money to occupy more places, and one Luzon can't meet my Ming expenses, so let's knock down the Three Buddhas, if the Three Buddhas are not enough, we will turn the entire Nanyang into the back garden of our Ming Dynasty, and when the time comes, the wealth of our Ming Dynasty will be inexhaustible." ”

When Jiajing heard this, he applauded loudly, his old blood really made Xiaotian's words quite burning, and he just said: "I also know a little bit about the situation over there, those monkeys in Nanyang have no combat effectiveness, with your strength, it is enough to defeat them, but where do you plan to get this population?" ”

Jiajing is right, for Xiao Tian, the biggest bottleneck in colonizing the South Seas is not the strength and combat effectiveness, the weapon island he built at a huge cost is almost completed, and the combat effectiveness under his command will definitely be upgraded to a higher level at that time.

His real bottleneck is that he doesn't have enough manpower to colonize, colonization doesn't have to be done by the army, the army should do what it does after the war, and the rest can be left to ordinary colonists.

In later generations, when the war against the Japanese was fought, the Japanese people occupied the whole of China, but in fact, they put a few devils in a county town, and a few devils of course could not suppress the Chinese people in a county, but these devils had the support of the army behind them, as long as something happened to them, they had to let the people of the entire county follow them to be buried.

If Xiao Tian wants to colonize, he can probably do the same, but the problem is that he has too few of his own family now! Although now more and more Ming people go to the sea to beg for food, but in the face of the huge land area of Nanyang, it is still a drop in the bucket.

Xiao Tiandao: "Avoidance, the minister has an idea, maybe he can solve this problem, and it is also a good thing for the court, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not." (To be continued.) )
