"Okay, that's all for now,...... Zhao Shujiao, you just arrived today, and you haven't received the settlement silver yet, first of all, according to the standard of Mangui, the settlement silver is collared, and the students will rest for a few days, and after two days, they will start strict training, these two days, just relax and relax, remember to manage military discipline...... Master Sun, please stay, I have something to say...... "Yang Gengai decided to end today's strategic arrangement meeting, this arrangement, has been talking about it for a whole afternoon, looking at the sky outside, it is not early.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Shujiao was overjoyed, the emperor's treatment of the army, it was really good, the front of the silver had just been sent down, and now the front foot had just arrived, and he gave the silver again, the emperor really had nothing to say to himself, ecstatic, and immediately thanked.

Seeing that the emperor had driven people away, everyone was ready to thank them and go back, and they stood for an afternoon, but they were all tired, but Liu Yanyuan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister still has one more matter." ”

Yang Reform looked at this Liu Yanyuan, but he didn't see that this guy had a lot of things, Yang Reform was busy all afternoon, he was exhausted, and he was ready to go back to rest.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Your Majesty, seeing that Your Majesty has so many wars this year, the minister dares to ask, Your Majesty, does the money come from the peace? Where did it come from? The imperial court is now doing its best to provide disaster relief, but it can't squeeze out the money to fight! Liu Yanyuan didn't want to ask this question, today the emperor only summoned these few people, talking about how to use soldiers to fight the enemy, it can be seen that the emperor is very happy, and he is generous, but now generosity does not mean that there is money to fight, now this money is called generosity, but when it comes to fighting, this point is not enough to plug his teeth, Liu Yanyuan believes that the emperor has money, but he can't believe that the emperor will have so much money. Three or four at the same time. Liu Yanyuan really couldn't help it, ready to ask, he Liu Yanyuan is the secretary of the Ministry of War, now the emperor's layout is quite clever, the odds of winning are quite large, once successful, it must be a major event of the moment, it must be recorded in the history books, spread in the world, Liu Yanyuan doesn't want to mess up these because of military spending, he also wants to sit in the position of the secretary of the military department and be a celebrity through the ages, so he will point this matter out now, if the emperor has no money, these strategies can be delayed a little time, so that the court can take a breath, If you have money to go to war again, you can't mess it up.

Yang Reform was stunned to ask this guy, where does the money come from? Think about it, where you can make money now, in addition to the glass factory is the bank, the glass factory is inferior, if you want to say that you can make a lot of money, you still have to look at the bank, you have to look at the Ming Royal Bank. In other words, it depends on the situation of the issuance of paper tickets, if the issuance of paper tickets fails, then it is really a bit dangerous, maybe you have to directly use the reserves in the bank to fight, because once you fight, you can't stop, you can only throw money into that bottomless pit.

Yang Gengai thought for a while and said: "This silver, of course, is out of me, hehe, if you want to fight, there is no money, it must be absolutely impossible." Although Yang Reform smiled, he also knew that as soon as he fought, his purse would be quickly deflated, and he was also bitter in his heart. Otherwise, it's often overstretched to do something.

"Your Majesty, if you say something disrespectful, can Your Majesty's internal money really afford the expenses of these three or four battlefields? Your Majesty, you must know that the battle, the fight, is not as easy to control as imagined, and the silver money is sprinkled out like splashing water......" Liu Yanyuan didn't know how to say this kind of thing, this is not his usual cautious and self-protective style.

Although Yang reform is not afraid on the surface, the actual heart is still very bottomless, Yang reform also wants to wait for two years and then engage in the strategy outside the border, unfortunately, time does not wait for anyone, this year and next year, is the most critical moment, after these two years, the situation will gradually become clear, outside the customs, wild boar skin will be a big family, and then I want to meddle in the affairs of the grassland and Liaodong, it will be too late, it will be more difficult, I also want to prepare a little more time, and prepare everything properly, but unfortunately, time does not wait for anyone, and the opportunity does not wait for anyone, all these things, It is history that pushes you to go, and if you don't go, you will be crushed by history.

Yang reform's worries came out from the bottom of his heart, although the Ming Dynasty's internal turmoil may be suppressed by his own tens of millions of silver taels of disaster relief, but this matter itself has an uncertain surname, not to mention how effective the implementation is, just the ten million taels of silver, now the actual place, not much, only a little more, more than one million taels, the household is only a little, the rest is the result of Yang reform's internal support, this ten million taels, more reliable is the field tax of Najia, this is more reliable, this is more reliable, Basically, it can be sure that it can be collected, and the more unreliable is the salt merchant's money, this, is also a heart disease in Yang Reform's mind, those salt merchants' money is not seen, this matter is still false, if the salt merchant's dead face arrears, then he can only find another way to make up for this part of the arrears, even if you want to kill the salt merchant, it also needs to operate, it also takes time, and the money is not in the pocket, it is not countable. In this way, his own expenses this year and next year are not ordinarily large, fighting wars everywhere, and half of the silver for disaster relief has not been settled, Yang Reform thought of this, and his heart was irritable. The thrill of killing Mongols and wild boar skins on the map just disappeared without a trace.

Yang Gai gritted his teeth and said: "This matter, there is no need for Liu Aiqing to worry about it, the silver will be in place on time, I will not owe the soldiers military salaries......" Yang Gai gritted his teeth and said, when it comes to it, it is really no way, then simply, sell Liulizhai, how can you last for a while.

Liu Yanyuan was taken aback by the emperor's expression, and secretly blamed himself for not saying so much, so he shut up and refused to say anything more, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

…… Everyone thanked and walked out of the platform.

Yang Reform was very irritable for the sake of money, although his strategy looked very cool, cutting wild boar skins in the east and killing the Mongols in the west, but he was very unhappy when he spent money, and the money in the inner money was not much, but it looked like two million, and the places where he spent money could list a lot, too many places that needed to be spent, and the big holes were scary, and he didn't know where to get the money.

…… Yang Reform left Sun Chengzong alone, ready to talk to Sun Chengzong, he hadn't communicated with Sun Chengzong for a long time: "Master Sun, let's go with me." Yang Reform asked Sun Chengzong to accompany him for a walk in the Forbidden City, sober and sober, Yang Reform, who was already exhausted, made a fuss about this moneyless thing, and was even more tired.

"Why is Your Majesty bothered?" Sun Chengzong asked knowingly, the emperor was fine just now, but as soon as Liu Yanyuan asked about money, he became like this, who can't see that it is because of money? However, Sun Chengzong knew that he knew, so he still asked.

"Well...... what else could there be, isn't it silver? In the middle of the night, I thought of a thousand roads, and I got up in the morning to grind tofu! I don't have any money, I'm the guy who wants to get rich every day, and the next day, I have to grind tofu obediently! Yang Gai lamented, he was in a good mood today, but unfortunately, in the end, he was worried about it.

"Huh...... Your Majesty, the minister heard that it was rumored outside the palace that His Majesty was very good at making money, and everyone sent a cart of silver to His Majesty's money to ......, if His Majesty still said that he was short of money, hehe...... Presumably, Your Majesty already has a countermeasure, and he will definitely not worry about a little silver. Sun Chengzong saw that the emperor looked sullen, so he used the method of agitation to provoke the emperor.

"Uh...... this, hehe...... Sort of. Yang Reform thought that there were a group of fools outside the palace, giving him the silver to spend, and his mood was a little better, indeed, he was not without a little way, at least now people believe that the emperor is very good at collecting money, very reputable, and is willing to deposit the silver in his own bank, so thinking about it, Yang Reform's mood is much better. Now the credibility he has accumulated with countless silver is a preliminary return.

......, "Master Sun, how is the arrangement of my today, what does Master Sun think?" Yang decided to ignore the sad silver issue and instead talk about something he was more proud of, talking about the northern strategy.

Sun Chengzong stroked his beard, saw that the emperor asked him about the northern strategy, knowing that the emperor had come to his senses, the old face smiled, and said: "Your Majesty's great talent, it is really rare, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Holy Lord, Your Majesty's strategies are one after another, and the mind is cautious, and the northern strategy arranged by the minister, the minister thinks that the success is quite large, and Your Majesty does not need to worry about this." "To be honest, Sun Chengzong is one hundred and twenty satisfied with his student, and the only thing that is a little uneasy is that this one is too young, and the young one is not like it. I also feel sorry for the kind of burden that the emperor is carrying, originally as the emperor, the lord of the world, should be infinite scenery, endless enjoyment, endless pride, but unfortunately, the situation that the emperor is encountering now, to say a bad word, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the end of the world. This young emperor is carrying too many things, too heavy.

"Hehe, Master Sun is polite." Yang Gai said with a smile, sure enough, when he talks about what he is proud of, his mood will improve.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask Your Majesty a question, why is Your Majesty so determined to choose Lin Dan Khan? In the minister's view, Lin Dan Khan is also a heroic figure, in the grassland, is also a powerful role, in the hands of the entire Mobei grassland of the elite, now, said to occupy most of the grassland, it is also possible, from the layout of His Majesty, action, can almost be seen as full aid to him, why is Your Majesty so confident in Lin Dan Khan, once Lin Dan Khan sits big, is not another Dongyu? Is Your Majesty sure? Can you catch him? Although Sun Chengzong agreed with the emperor's strategy just now, he still had doubts in his heart, and the emperor seemed to have a considerable grasp of how to control and grasp Lin Dan Khan, which made Sun Chengzong feel very strange.

"Hehe, is Master Sun asking Lin Dan Khan? Hehe...... To be honest, in my heart, I don't worry much about Lin Dan Khan, even if Lin Dan Khan looks relatively powerful at this time, with tens of thousands of horses in his hands and controls most of the grassland, I will still give him a lot of assistance and unite with him. As for Lin Dan Khan, if Donglu doesn't appear, he is a character, but unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time, and it is destined to be a tragedy when he meets Dongyu! Yang Gai said with a smile, when no one is around, talking to Sun Chengzong about his heart is also an opportunity to relax himself. This Lin Dan Khan is a tragedy, Yang Gai has long seen his ending from historical materials, speaking of which, if it is not for the encounter with wild boar skin, he is the Mongolian Khan, to say that the unification of Mongolia, it is not impossible, but unfortunately, the tragedy of fate is inevitable, encountering wild boar skin, from the advantage, to today's confrontation, if he does not intervene, he will soon start to go downhill, in a few years, his wife, daughter, sisters will be received by the wild boar skin to the harem, from the imprint of history, he is a cup.

Disrupting and changing history, has always been a difficult thing, Yang reform believes that he has done a lot of things now, knows the future of history, there are many golden fingers to open, but to say that to change history, there is often a feeling of inadequacy, now to say that a Lin Dan Khan has the ability to change the general direction of history, Yang Reform believes that history is still very strong, believe that Lin Dan Khan is not as good as believing in history.

Seeing that the emperor was laughing naturally, Sun Chengzong seemed to have strong confidence, and asked curiously: "Your Majesty can solve the doubts of the ministers?" Sun Chengzong is also ready to ask shamelessly, this is really too strange, to Dongyu is to be wary of everything, to plan for the worst, and not to die, but for Lin Dan Khan, it can almost be described as too good to be good.

Yang Gai glanced at Sun Chengzong in surprise, he didn't expect Sun Chengzong to have this spirit of not being ashamed to ask, thought about it, and said: "Hehe, Master Sun, speaking of which, it's just two weaker people joining forces to deal with the stronger ones, now on the grassland, there are four forces, the strongest in the east, I am a little inferior to Lin Dan Khan, and the Mongolian right wing, the Mongolian right wing has now been disabled, but the remnant forces, not enough trouble, so, I only have one way to unite with Lin Dan Khan, is it possible that I still go to unite with the Dongyu?" He and I are court, but hundreds of thousands of blood debts! This blood debt, no matter what, I will have to get it back. "Yang's reason for reform is a bit far-fetched, but it is enough to explain it to Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong was a little regretful, this was obviously not the reason why the emperor so unexpectedly vigorously supported Lin Dan Khan, since the emperor refused to say, Sun Chengzong didn't ask, thinking that the emperor had his own considerations.

Yang Reform vigorously supported Lin Dan Khan and made every effort to crack down on the Eastern Prisoners, and the basis for making this decision was the history of the future, and Yang Reform naturally cannot say that I made this choice after reading history, so now it seems that the various bases for the emperor to make such a decision are a little unnatural.

When Sun Chengzong got this explanation, he didn't ask anymore. turned to concentrate on walking with the emperor and enlightening this young emperor who was burdened with this heavy pressure.

Yang Reform took the lead, walking between the red walls and golden tiles of the Forbidden City, Sun Chengzong was slightly behind, accompanying the emperor, and behind was Wang Chengen, a group of eunuchs, palace maids, and guards.

…… Yang Gai walked for a while, and was basked by the sunset for a while, and the haze in his heart was melted away a lot, and he recovered.

"Master Sun, how is the new army now?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Back to Your Majesty, the training of the new army now, everything is fine, many people have been recruited, and they are stepping up training, every time a period of time, a group of outstanding people will be selected to transfer to the official new army, the official new army, now there are nearly 10,000 people, the weapons used in training, muskets are not lacking, the only thing is that the cannon is a little troublesome, especially the big Buddha machine or Hongyi cannon, I heard that it is difficult to cast, so the training is not very complete."

"Oh? There is a problem with the cannon, I have already developed it, and it won't be long before this problem will be solved. "Yang Reform has already asked Sun Yuanhua to specialize in casting cannons, I believe that the problem is not big, and I am also going to see the progress of Sun Yuanhua's cannon casting after a while.

"In this way, the minister has nothing to worry about." Sun Chengzong said.

"By the way, Master Sun, I mentioned to you before that some outstanding people will be selected from among the people to be my sparring partners, do you remember Master Sun?" Yang Gengai remembered one thing, he was going to cultivate the loyalty of the gun to himself, and he deliberately engaged in a training thing, but unfortunately, later the training ground moved to Xishan, and this matter was over, but now that he thinks about it, he realizes that he still can't relax his control over the gun, and this new army is the most important thing, and he has to put some thought into it.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister still remembers, but now the minister has gone to Xishan to train the army......"

"In this way, you still select some loyal and reliable people from among them, enter the palace to serve as my attendants, serve as guards, and also learn from me, and my connection with the new army cannot be broken!" Yang Gengai decided to follow the example of the Qing Dynasty and implement the emperor's guard system, which should be very effective in consolidating imperial power. In front of Sun Chengzong, he didn't say polite words, he just said what he thought.

Sun Chengzong lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers can't receive orders." Sun Chengzong's heart was turbulent, and the emperor asked him to choose his attendants and learn from the emperor's side, which was really ...... It's too big, this is completely different from sparring, to put it mildly, the emperor's safety is all in his hands! Sun Chengzong really didn't dare to agree. Sun Chengzong thinks that he is loyal to the emperor and will never betray the emperor, but if he is fine, he will not have a problem with others, and once this system and rights are passed to others, the emperor's life will be controlled by others.

"Oh, why can't Master Sun take the order?" Yang Reform was a bit of a surprise.

"Your Majesty, how can Your Majesty's surname be controlled in the hands of your ministers? Isn't that a dangerous situation? Sun Chengzong taught the emperor seriously, this is what the emperor said to him, his relationship with the emperor is not ordinary, and he can resist, if the emperor says it to others, I am afraid that it can be seen that the emperor is going to kill this person. Sun Chengzong was also frightened.

"Oh...... Hehe, hehe......" Yang Gai smiled awkwardly, just now he only cared about learning from others to engage in the attendant system, thinking about strengthening the imperial power and controlling the army, but he didn't expect the method to be wrong, this matter really can't be handed over to others to do, so he can only choose himself.

Yang Gai laughed awkwardly for a while, and his bad mood was swept away.

(To be continued)
