Chapter 283: Embarrassed

Huang Jin's original look made Jiajing's mood happy again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"It seems that the slave is too careful, and if he wants to come to His Majesty to be kind to him, Yang Ming should naturally worry about the king, so it seems that he will have to contribute to this Guizhou matter!"

The two were talking happily, but the voice of the little eunuch outside the door rang out: "Your Majesty, Yang Gong, Jiang Gong, and Mao Gong are here to meet together!" ”

"Master Yang, are they here?" Jiajing was stunned for a moment, but then figured out the problem, the matter of food shortage in Guizhou and other places has been discussed for two days, and there is no result yet, they should discuss it with themselves, not to mention that this matter is imminent, and it is constantly in turmoil!

Thinking of this, Jiajing commanded towards the door: "Announce them to come in!" ”

Huang Jin hurriedly retreated behind Jiajing, and Yang Yan and the three of them entered the imperial study after a short time.

"The old minister Yang Yanhe (Jiang Mian) (Mao Ji) has seen Your Majesty!" The three of them stepped forward to salute Jiajing according to the rules.

"How many times have the three masters said it, it is understandable in the court, but in private it is better to have less such etiquette!" Jiajing smiled and personally helped the three of them up and asked, "I heard that the three masters are worried about the affairs of Guizhou, don't you already have a solution this time?" ”

It must be a big deal for the three ministers to meet together, and now that the three of them don't have a trace of worry at all, Jiajing can see that they should have a way to solve the problem in Guizhou, otherwise they will not be able to see themselves.

Sure enough, as soon as Jiajing's voice fell, Yang Yanhe spoke: "Your Majesty, this time the people of Guizhou have no food to eat, it is said that it is caused by the old man and others who were not thoughtful at the beginning, but fortunately, although the people have little food, there is no crisis place. Shang, Lord Xia served as a disaster relief envoy, and immediately sent 300,000 stone of grain to Guizhou, Yunnan and other places for disaster relief. In addition, Li Xianming, the commander of Hunan, led Hunan Wei and Guizhou Wei and Yunnan Wei to surrender the remnants of Bailian! ”

The army of the Ming Dynasty was based on the "guard system" established by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

Among them, the army is organized at two levels: the guard and the station.

One government set up a station, several governments set up guards, and the guard set up a commander, of which a total of 5,600 soldiers.

There are 1,000 households under the guard, of which 1,000 soldiers are under the command of 1,000 households.

Then, under the Thousand Households, there were 100 Households, of which the establishment was 100 soldiers.

The prefecture and county guards are under the jurisdiction of the commanders and envoys. The commanders of each capital are under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of the Central Five Armies, and the commanders of Hunan are the commanders of Hunan Wei and his subordinate thousands of households and hundreds of households, because Hunan and other places are relatively wealthy, so in terms of combat effectiveness, Hunan Wei is higher than other places, although Guizhou and Yunnan have the White Lotus Sect to make trouble. However, there are more than 20,000 regular troops in the three local guards, and it can be said that this arrangement is relatively reasonable.

Jiajing nodded with satisfaction, and said to the three of them with a smile: "The three masters, sure enough, are the ministers of a certain country in Lao Cheng, so let's do it according to this law!" ”

In fact, such a result had long been expected by the three of them. Such an arrangement can be said to be impeccable, Jiajing naturally will not object, the most important thing is that the White Lotus Sect does not have any capital to compete.

Following the first half of the battle in Laoweng Mountain in Suizhou, almost many places have carried out a purge of the White Lotus Sect's forces, although most places do not have much effect, but at least it is certain that the White Lotus Sect in Yunnan and Guizhou has shifted from the open to the dark, whether it is for the development of incense or bewitching the people, it is impossible to be blatant, after all, the local guards are not for dry food, and they are still more concerned about the matter of inviting merit, so that the White Lotus Sect can not be supplemented by personnel. Even if there are strong martial artists, it is useless, so when the 20,000 army is surrounded by almost invincible Jianfeng.

"Your Majesty, since this is the case, the old ministers and others will act according to this law!" But.... Yang Yanhe's face was a little unnatural, and he finally gritted his teeth before muttering: "Recently, the treasury has been empty, although enough food has been prepared, but there is still a lot of silver, the old minister dares to ask His Majesty to give priority to the sheji, and the inner treasury will allocate 200,000 taels of silver for disaster relief!" ”

Originally, there were still dozens or even millions of taels of silver in the treasury, but these silver had already been allocated by the knowledge of poor arrangement, and it was not yet winter. At least there is still a need to leave a part of the emergency, although the treasury now has a lot of input every month, but now it is difficult to save the emergency, and now it can be said that only Jiajing can come up with money.

After all, with the coal conglomerate and the spirits business, it can be said that the inner library has already become rich in a few months. And for Jiajing, there is almost no place to use money except for the palace and internal guards, so they hit Jiajing with this idea.

Jiajing looked surprised: "What? Master Yang! Not enough money in the treasury? Didn't Yang Ming still have nearly three million taels left when he left Beijing last time? Why did we need so much money for this disaster relief? ”

In fact, Jiajing is also pretending to be confused, although the cabinet and the household department have a certain decision-making power, but large-scale spending projects still need his approval to do so, and of course he is clear about the places where the money is used. The reason why I say this is nothing more than to take a pinch of Yang Yanhe and others, although this money must be released, but it also needs a clear eye and an excuse, but Yang Yanhe and others can't think of this excuse now.

You must know that three million taels of silver is not a small amount, and it has cost nearly two million taels in just one or two months. In the past, one million taels of silver could be used for half a year, but now two million taels of silver are only used for one or two months, what will other people think? Although it is true that the place where the money is spent should be spent, but.... But what about before?

It's like an inexplicable game, everyone knows it's like this, but now it's not clear that it's in this place that they are in trouble.

"Back to Your Majesty, in fact, there are nearly one million taels of silver in the treasury, but the localities, ministries and even the military have been there for a long time...."Mao Ji, who spoke, became quieter as he spoke, and when it came to their part, it was actually considered to be the top, whether it was prestige or personal reputation, it was impeccable, but... Now they have to be cheeky to ask for money from Jiajing, who has never been harmonious, which is undoubtedly difficult for several of them to speak.

Although it is for the imperial court, they are helpless when they see Jiajing's smiling look, when they are old, when they are old, they are old, and a face is actually lost at this time, although they don't want to say it, but they have to say it, which undoubtedly makes them very embarrassed.
