"Two, two, and listen to the old man, your affairs will be slowed down for the time being," Wang Guoguang pressed down with both hands.

The official department is also known as the heavenly official, the head of the six departments, almost competing with the cabinet scholars, and is the only one in the six departments of the book who meets the cabinet ministers on the street and does not need to avoid the road, so Wang Guoguang said this, Zeng Xingwu and Pan Jitao, who were arguing, stopped.

Li Youzi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, laughed first: "The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry are short of money, but the Ministry of Officials who are responsible for the elimination of officials can be relaxed, and Brother Ruguan (Wang Guoguangzi Ruguan) happens to be peacemakers with the two of them." ”

Unexpectedly, Wang Guoguang also complained bitterly: "Just now in the court, for the sake of Mr. Zhang's method, it is not easy for the lower officials to speak out, so I have to say it now."

-- The old gentleman wants to implement the examination method, and the headquarters also investigates and assesses, but Zhang Dasitu gives the officials pepper and sumu to fold the money, and the officials in Beijing and the court are all cold when they hear the news, and the fatigue and procrastination are more than 30%, plus the winter is cold, and the yamen is drinking wind from all sides, and everyone is taking advantage of this to slip away, how to implement the examination method? ”

Da Situ is another name for the Hubu Shangshu, Zhang Xueyan frowned when he heard this, and argued: "The purpose of the physical discount is to convert the things that have been paid tribute by various countries into silver and send them down, so as to save the treasury expenditure, this is what we have already agreed, why do you bring up the old matter again?" Moreover, take Brother Ruguan as an example, even if you only take the discount, you will probably not be poor. ”

Wang Guoguang is not only a widow and lustful, but also likes to accept bribes from Bing Jing and Tan Jing, and has the skill to collect money, because the people sitting in the lobby are all in the same party and have a close relationship with each other, so Zhang Xueyan joked with him.

was teased by the same party, Wang Guoguang did not shy away from taboos, and said bluntly: "This official is naturally thin and floating, but those principals, Langzhong, and foreign officials are not good, as for the imperial history, giving affairs and other officials, they are hard in Beijing, and they are so poor that they should eat and be clean, so we will give him a discount to offset the silver, and ask him to be diligent in political affairs, sit honestly in the cold wind, and use the test method to strictly control it, which is a little difficult to do." ”

After all, Wang Guoguang looked at Zhang Juzheng with his eyes, and the backbone of their Shangshu and Shilang who pushed for the new policy was the first auxiliary emperor, and they had to rely on him to make up their minds.

Zhang Juzheng stroked his beard and groaned, as the first assistant, of course he knew that Wang Guoguang was reasonable, the court officials' Yulu was still set during the Hongwu period, basically unchanged, and now it is not enough. One by one is so poor that he is like pants, and it is indeed difficult for him to be diligent in political affairs.

It costs money to train the new army and distribute new firearms, and it costs money to harness the river, and it costs money to change the distribution of silver after stopping the discount, so where can I get a lot of silver? Zhang Juzheng inadvertently raised his eyes, and happened to see Qin Lin's old god sitting at the last seat, and the first auxiliary emperor immediately sneered, "Qin Lin, in the current situation, what crooked ideas do you have?" Let's hear it. ”

Zhang Zixuan, who was eavesdropping on the corridor outside the lobby, frowned slightly when she heard this, and complained in a low voice: "Daddy is really! A large group of scholars and waiters are helpless, and they are embarrassed to take it to Qin Lin's junior? ”

"It's good if he is speechless!" Zhang Maoxiu spoke hatefully, and stood on tiptoe to look inside, wanting to hear Qin Lin's answer.

The eldest brother Zhang Jingxiu looked at his sister thoughtfully, and said in his heart that no matter how good Qin Lin was, it would be impossible for his father to promise his sister to be his wife, right? Then why was she so happy after learning that Li Qingdai was his wife and Xu Xinyi was his wife? It's really weird!

Above the lobby, the eyes of all the scholars and servants in the center of the empire were focused on Qin Lin, curious to hear what unique insights the brocade-clothed military attache personally pointed out by the First Auxiliary Emperor could have, but everyone saw that he was young, and they didn't believe that he could really put forward opinions with practical value, as long as it was a little meaningful, it would be considered passable.

Qin Lin was not in a hurry, and said honestly and politely: "In fact, the three articles of border army funds, water conservancy management, and stopping the depreciation can be parallel, if the lower officials are not mistaken, there should be two million silver in the balance of the treasury last year......"

Zhang Xueyan immediately blushed when he heard this: "This is an emergency, we must prepare for the crusade against the rebellion, resist the northern captives, and relieve the catastrophe, and you can't move one or two!" ”,

Zhang Juzheng sighed and forgave Qin Lin three points, if Qin Lin hadn't recaptured the 500,000 silver, the two million would have been a quarter shorter.

"Xiaguan doesn't plan to touch the two million," Qin Lin hurriedly shook his head and explained: "Xiaguan is saying that since there is a white amount of cash in the Tai Warehouse, it has enough ability to pay, and it is completely possible to solve the money and grain of the river workers in installments, such as the grain needed by the migrant workers to control the river, and the Xia Guan can persuade the two giant businessmen to advance the expenses on their behalf, and wait until the winter of next year, Caoyin will not have to go all the way to Beijing, and directly pay them five cents of interest in Jiangnan." ”

Zhang Juzheng was stunned, and immediately knew that Qin Lin's so-called two giant businessmen were actually Cao Gang and Wufeng Maritime Merchants, which were the alliance established by Qin Lin as a central defender, and his full support for him, the ruling chief assistant.

Qin Lin does this to benefit the country and the people, and he is not worried about the imperial court's debts, with Zhang Juzheng as the first assistant, next winter Cao Yin will directly repay the grain payment in Jiangnan, and the Cao Gang and Wufeng Maritime Merchants can still have some profits. Moreover, if Hong Wunian takes it out so conspicuously to advance the expenses, he is afraid of falling into the fate of Shen Wansan, this Wanli year, hehe...... There has always been only merchants who rely on the taxes of the imperial court, when did the imperial court rob the merchants' silver?

Pan Jitao was surprised and delighted when he heard this, he was happy that the river control project could be launched quickly, and he was surprised that he was afraid that Qin Lin would blow his anger, so he couldn't help but ask: "General Qin, the grain needed to control the river is no less than 500,000 stones, and your two rich businessmen and friends can pay for it?" ”

Zhang Juzheng smiled and waved his hand: "Pan Shilang, you don't have to worry about this, Qin Lin said that if you can advance the support, there will be no problem." ”

The river workers had a plan, Li Youzi, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and Pan Jitao, the waiter, were dazzled and smiling, and Zeng Xingwu, the waiter of the Ministry of War, couldn't help but fidget, as if there was a nail on his buttocks.

"Zeng Shilang, let me tell you the truth, the electric gun and the thunderbolt gun were also made by Qin Lin," Zhang Juzheng smiled rarely, and said quite teasingly: "This person doesn't learn and has no skills, but there are a few crooked ideas." ”

Qin Lin smiled facelessly: "Uncle Shi praises falsely, the little nephew is not a skilled person." ”

You! Zhang Juzheng blew his beard, and wanted to scold Qin Lin twice, but he changed his mind again, and his face was solemn: "You also have to think of a way to get a new gun, if it makes sense, the old man has a reward, if you can't tell the reason, don't blame the old man for heavy punishment!" ”

Pan Jitao is an honest man, and he couldn't help but persuade: "I can't think of a good way, General Qin has also made great contributions to the river work, it seems that there is no need to ......"

Li Youzi is a fellow villager of Zhang Juzheng, and at this time, he could see that the attitude of the old fellow towards Qin Lin was a little strange, so he hurriedly pulled Pan Jitao and told him not to mix blindly.

Daddy is too much! Zhang Zixuan, who was listening outside, pursed her delicate red lips, feeling that her father was chasing and beating so hard, but she was afraid that she would force Qin Lin too hard.

The two brothers Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu couldn't cry or laugh, and their father had never been so "unreasonable" in his memory.

Qin Lin is the main inventor of the electric gun and the thunder gun, he coped with this problem much easier than others, and talked with a smile: "Xia Guan heard that the new army trained by Qi Dashuai is mainly based on car battalions and cavalry, and there are not many infantry who use bird guns. ”

Zeng Xingwu nodded, because what he said was accurate, he felt more and more that Qin Lin had a way, so he replied that it was true, because of the terrain and mobility, the southern Zhejiang soldiers were mainly infantry and bird guns with long barrels, while the new army trained in Jizhen was a mixed combination of infantry and bicycle artillery, and the cannon had a general cannon tiger squatting cannon, which was talking about a gun, so there was no need to mention it for the time being, and the cavalry mainly used three-eyed guns.

"The cost of a shotgun is huge, just because a qualified barrel is difficult to manufacture, and the cost of this electric gun is much cheaper than a shotgun," Qin Lin said and felt that something was missing, Zeng Shengwu hurriedly took out the pattern from his bosom and handed it to him.

Qin Lin pointed to the pattern and introduced the process.

In this era, there was no drilling machine, and it was most difficult to drill the barrel by hand, and the barrel of a shotgun took a craftsman a month to drill, which was much simpler than the processes of making a medicine pool and making a trigger.

The length of the barrel of the stun gun is only one-third of that of a shotgun, and theoretically it takes only ten days, but in fact, because the barrel has become shorter, the manufacturing difficulty and scrap rate have been greatly reduced, and one can be made in just two days.

Therefore, although it is a new type of firearm, because the barrel is greatly shortened, the cost of the stun gun is only one-third of that of a shotgun.

Of course, the range is shorter than that of the shotgun, but it replaces the cavalry three-eyed gun, which is much more effective than the three-eyed gun in terms of range and accuracy - the long-barreled thunderbolt gun is the one that replaces the shotgun.

"It turns out that the electric gun is so cheap," Zeng Xingwu suddenly realized, "Then we will first manufacture the electric gun in batches to replace the three-eyed gun, and the cost will not be too much, and in the future, when the treasury is rich, we will slowly replace the bird gun with the thunderbolt gun, but we are not in a hurry." ”

"In fact, it is very simple to change a shotgun to a thunderbolt gun", Qin Lin smiled and compared and drew on the picture, saying that as long as a few parts are installed, and the faucet of the shotgun with the fire rope is replaced with the hammer of the thunderbolt gun, the modification can be completed, and the cost is not much.

Zeng Xingwu was overjoyed, and couldn't help but look Qin Lin up and down, and sighed in admiration: "No wonder Mr. Zhang, the first assistant of the emperor, attaches so much importance to it, it turns out that Qin Xiaoyou's knowledge is so profound!" is young and promising, and it is really not comparable to those corrupt Confucians who have a good head and poor scriptures. ”

Wang Guoguang was already in a hurry, and as soon as Zeng Xingwu finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhang Juzheng to ask, and asked Qin Lin first: "I don't know what Qin Xiaoyou thinks about the matter of breaking money?" ”

Okay, this is what makes the capable work harder, and even the officials have to find a way for Qin Lin to figure out a way.

Who told him to be too eye-catching, as if he could do anything? RO！ ~！
