You have a lot of silver in your white name, and even the children of Daming know it.

It's almost time to change the name of the God of Wealth to your white-named crane, do you still need to explain this?

But since Bai Minghe opened his mouth, all the important ministers present were highly respected, so he would naturally let Bai Minghe finish his words.

"Seniors, I am going to offer fifty taels of silver to buy the head of the tile thorn. I don't know if this price is high, but can it attract people who like silver? ”

Fifty taels of one, killing 10,000 people is 500,000 taels of silver, a good price!

"Well, I'll raise the price to a hundred. Isn't 100,000 watts of silver just 10 million taels of silver? And I went to buy the head of the tile thorn man with silver, and the head of the first man was worth three hundred thousand taels, and the living man was worth a million taels of silver. Is this price point attractive enough? If that's not enough, double all the price points. ”

It's a huge number, but the white crane can get it, and these important ministers don't doubt it at all.

"Who, then, will buy the silver?" Chen Xun asked.

"You can buy it from four places, the first is Duoyan Sanwei, and some of them have horses and knives. The second is the Jurchens, they were subdued first, but it doesn't mean that they can't be moved by the silver anymore, and the third is any anti-Yexian force on the grassland, these people will also participate in the war as long as they fight with the wind. The last one is the Wa people, I have 117,000 Japanese male slaves in my hands, of which more than 100,000 are in the naval battle, and after the invasion of the Japanese Kyoto, I destroyed several hostile daimyos, and by the way, their troops have also been absorbed, these people will fight in place of my Ming soldiers, and I will use mountains of silver to make them fight desperately. ”

Shira's plan cannot but be said to be clever.

Jin Lian took an abacus and calculated the military spending, how much silver would be spent if he sent troops to the expedition, and how much would it cost.

How much can you make the difference in the way of a white crane, is it more, or is it less expensive.

didn't wait for Jin Lian to finish. At least five hands were pressed on his abacus.

The five important ministers all had to speak, but in the end, it was Wang Wen who took the lead: "Bai Minghe, this official knows why Lord Yu scolded you." Look at you in the Battle of Wajima, you are also a talented commander. But you are still too young, and your vision is still not far enough, how about listening to a few words from this official? ”

"Please advise Lord Wang!" The white crane was not unconvinced. He never thought that these important ministers of the Ming Dynasty were not easy to use.

"Bai Minghe, your method is not a soldier, maybe the military budget is less. But you have brought danger to Daming, a very great danger. Let one come first, and then there will be more, and you sit down and listen to the official slowly tell you. ”

Wang Wen is talking about this truth in the most straightforward words for Bai Minghe.

No circles, no very elegant words.

Wang Wen's reason is that once the surrounding small states think that the Ming Dynasty only has silver and no strong military strength at the moment, and the soldiers are afraid of death. The general is afraid of death. So don't talk about it far away, just say that this Yan Sanwei is afraid that after getting this silver, he will dare to treat Daming as a fat sheep.

To put it mildly, Duoyan Sanwei can raise Kou with self-respect.

To put it more seriously, Duoyan Sanwei even dared to do it himself, and he was ambitious for Daming.

Then the white crane will continue to use silver to buy soldiers from other places to fight Duoyan Sanwei, and over time, the surrounding small states think that the Ming Dynasty has no combat power. And the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty also thought that since they could solve it with money, why should they fight hard. And so on. The consequences are unimaginable.

Cold sweat ran down the forehead of the white crane.

Think about the fall of the Ming Dynasty, 200,000 Jurchens destroyed the Ming Dynasty with more than 100 million people. In addition to the chaos within the Ming Dynasty, isn't there any more reason related to what Wang Wen said at this time?

"You can do it the way you say, but they can only be used as auxiliaries, or as secondary troops. The real battle must be fought by Da Ming himself, and he must dare to fight a vicious battle. And to win the battle. Show military might to make the four seas surrender, weak Ming soldiers can not protect the Ming, you use the silver to reward the Ming sergeant to give it a try, even if the military budget is doubled. What we played was majestic and imposing. It's proud! ”

Wang Wen has been in contact with the white crane for a long time.

He knew very well how to get the words into the heart of the white crane.

In Wang Wen's heart, it was estimated that Yu Qian was just scolding, but his words did not let Bai Minghe listen to them, otherwise Bai Minghe would not have come to this set of theories of using silver instead of fighting today.

"Don't care about Duoyan Sanwei, Daming will clean up first, let those people of Duoyan Sanwei also kneel in front of Daming Taimiao, think about it, what should they do next!" Wang Wen said murderously.

政zhì, this is the political zhì.

These people are really smart, and Bai Minghe is convinced.

After bowing, Bai Minghe said: "The younger generation is young, and this time I know that I am wrong. Thank you for your advice.,Bai Minghe is here to ask all of you to think about it in the future.,Although criticism is it.。 ”

"Okay, if only I could listen to it." Chen Xun breathed a sigh of relief, no one dared to underestimate Bai Minghe's current influence.

If Bai Minghe insists on going his own way, maybe he can really let his nonsense practice continue, once the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are really cowardly, the consequences are too terrible.

"White Crane, how much military can you provide?" Jin Lian then asked the question of silver.

"How much and how much? I really didn't have any money in my hands, so I issued war bonds in Nanjing, and asked the people of the Great Tomorrow to borrow silver, but I couldn't let them get better first. So the problem with the silver is not a problem, at least not at all with my white name crane. I was really in a hurry, so I sold the silver mountain on Wajima. ”

Everyone laughed, it seems that Bai Minghe is still confident in terms of silver.

Jiang Yuan took out the small notebook on his body: "Don't talk about silver, I'll report the number here." At present, there are 8 million stones of high-grade stainless steel left from Shandong and Hebei, and these are not enough time to make muskets, but weapons and armor are not a problem. The amount of gunpowder retained was insufficient, and the Ministry of Industry tried to solve this problem. ”

"Regarding gunpowder, I have better. But at the moment, the sailor is using it, and this needs the relevant official documents to be transferred from the sailor. You must know that the artillery training of the sailors cannot be stopped, and every day is a huge consumption. ”

The new black powder that Bai Minghe said was naturally the new achievement of King Lu, Daomen Dan Warlock, and Byzantine Alchemist.

In the latest test, the threshold of cotton nitrate gunpowder has been touched, and the trial production of this gunpowder has been successful in a small amount. It is three times the power of the original gunpowder, but it is unstable. Therefore, the formula is still being adjusted, as well as the method of mass production.

"Right now, it's a crack tactic or a large-scale military deployment. What the old man meant was that he would discuss it in detail when he came back. At this time, I still go to the top of the main hall and listen to the discussion of the hundred officials, maybe I will have some gains, after all, the wisdom of the people is higher than the wisdom. And whether the news of the war against the tile thorn can be kept secret or made public also needs to be discussed! ”

Chen Xun is not wrong.

There is another point that Chen Xun did not say in front of Bai Minghe, and he didn't need to know it to Bai Minghe. That is, as an important minister, even if you decide the court, you must give the officials a chance to speak.

In modern terms, it is to let the hundred officials show off their sense of survival.

Of course, there is also the meaning of training excellent successors, so that these important ministers who have already sat in high positions can come into contact with important state affairs, think more, listen more, and discuss more, which is also a process of growth. It's just that these have nothing to do with the white crane, nothing to do now, and nothing to do in the future, the road of the white crane is destined to be the road of the powerful minister and the lonely minister.

The main hall didn't let Bai Ming Crane go, and it didn't make sense for Bai Ming Crane to go.

Chen Xun went to the top of the main hall, where he was already serving rice. If the pilgrimage is too long, there will be time to rest, time to go to the toilet, and time to drink water and eat some simple meals.

The weather is a little cold, so each person is given a bowl of hot noodle soup. There are individual military attachés who also add a piece of bread.

Chen Xun, as the first assistant, has never been specialized, and he is qualified but has never asked to open a small stove for himself. Like all the officials, there is only an extra chair to sit on, holding a bowl and eating noodle soup.

After eating this simple so-called working meal, a eunuch carried dozens of thermos and placed them next to the pillars of the main hall, and then set up a table. There are tea leaves, cups, towels to wipe your hands, and a basin of water.

"If you want to talk about this thermos, I don't know how many can be produced every month. There are only ten tickets for this official of the fourth grade, and some relatives in the family come to ask for it all day long, because they can't buy it with silver. On the black market, a ticket for the most common thermos is fried for five taels of silver, which is more expensive than the thermos itself. ”

Some officials were half-jokingly complaining.

Another official also said with a smile: "The household department recently sealed a batch of tickets, which were sent from Nanjing. It's called a sewing machine! I only heard that it is used to make clothes, and one machine is used for 100 people to work. But no one has ever seen anything, and after Bai Minghe was urgently recruited into the capital, the batch of tickets was sealed, and it is estimated that it will be a year later. ”

"I've seen it and tried it. As far as you speak, it will be sewn in a few feet, which is a good thing. Jin Lian suddenly spoke, the waiter of the household department hurriedly stepped aside, and Jin Lian said to his subordinates: "You are not wrong, Bai Minghe was urgently recruited into Beijing, and the listing of that machine will definitely be postponed." ”

After Jin Lian finished these gossips, he cleared his throat.

"Bai Minghe still has some injuries on his body, and he also had some discussions with Chen Lao and a few adults in the Wenhua Hall just now. Chen Lao asked him to go back to rest, after all, it was inconvenient to bring an injury. Do you need to go to the toilet or do anything, a quarter of an hour later. Let's all be in good spirits, and today is a big deal. ”

All the officials responded in unison: "Yes!" ”

In less than a quarter of an hour, that is, more than ten minutes or so, the door of the main hall was closed, and the unrelated little eunuch also left.

Less than twenty people were qualified to sit in the chairs, and the rest were given a cushion, and they could stand if they wanted.

"Guys, the battle against the Tile Thorn is imperative. But when to fight and how. Banzai is still waiting for our reply, and today we will come up with a preliminary plan. The final decision was made after the military department returned to Beijing with Hu and Gao, and this matter was a major matter of the country and should not be played with. ”

Chen Xun presided over the meeting, and his opening remarks made it very clear that this was a strict national policy-level meeting. (To be continued......)
