The first wind and rain drifted away

"Nope!" Emperor Chongzhen spread his hands and shook the dragon's head, very honest and sincere, very realistic.

I have some policies in my heart, but I can't fucking implement them!

Originally, a simple collection of commercial taxes could solve the problem, but the righteous gentlemen did not allow them to be collected, what else could I do?

After listening to Emperor Chongzhen's neat answer, Bi Ziyan grimaced his old face, feeling that the emperor was very out of tune.

The emperor is raiding the courtiers and tasted the sweetness and began to swell.

It's just that the military salary, which could barely be met with a few million taels, suddenly more than doubled, and the emperor canceled the liao salary, this gap is too big.

If there is no fixed source of money, and it is simply by checking and corrupting, wouldn't it be to kill the heads of the whole court?

He hesitated for a moment, feeling that he still did his duty and reminded the emperor.

"Your Majesty, is it a bit presumptuous to raise the salary of the nine-sided army so suddenly?

The minister thought that it was better to use rewards to boost the morale of the army, and it was more prudent to keep the military salary unchanged?

In this way, if the money and food are not in place, it is good to self-regulate the time, and the imperial court will not lose its trust in the nine-sided generals.

After all...... After all......"

Halfway through the sentence, he didn't continue, but the meaning was in place.

He actually wanted to say that after all, the money was in the hands of businessmen and officials, and if he killed too many people, people would say that the emperor was the king.

What Bi Ziyan said is reasonable, and it is a temporary means to solve the problem.

Moreover, as the head of the household, he considered it from an economic point of view, which is in line with the current erosive situation, and it is indeed the words of the old man to seek the country.

Unfortunately, time is running out.

Next year, Jiannu will be in Koubian, and the area near Gyeonggi in the Ming Dynasty will be troubled by them.

Not to mention the civil and military soldiers who died in the war, they also plundered more than 200,000 strong and skilled people of the Ming Dynasty, as well as countless gold, silver, treasures and grain.

How much is the loss in this, and how is this account calculated?

I really don't know!

Not to mention anything else, the lost hearts of the people and the army, as well as the morale of the entire court, are of immeasurable value.

If you want to be specific to money, Emperor Chongzhen believes that it must be much larger than his current investment.

In this case, it is better to simply go off the rails and fight him.

Carry it over, the sea and the sky. If you can't resist it, prepare to prepare.

If you want a horse to run, you have to let it eat more grass and eat good grass.

"Bi Aiqing, at the beginning of my accession to the throne, I originally wanted the world to be peaceful. Unfortunately, the general trend has fallen, and the accumulated habits are irreversible.

There is a dispute between the court and the gate, and the frontier will be arrogant and lazy. However, the soldiers were short, and the rogue spread, so that it festered and could not be saved, which can be described as unfortunate.

On this occasion, it is reasonable to strengthen the army and prepare it, and build elite soldiers and strong generals at all costs in order to protect the country.

Since benevolence and righteousness can't influence courtiers and merchants, then why should I be the king of the courtiers?

Therefore, I have my own opinions on this matter, and Aiqing does not need to worry! ”

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Emperor Chongzhen's lips, his slender eyes were slightly raised, and his deep pool-like eyes couldn't guess what he was thinking, just flickering in the sun.

That is, to Bi Ziyan, an old minister who is really loyal to the country, Emperor Chongzhen said so much.

Other courtiers, even if they were praised as martyrs, Emperor Chongzhen would never say anything.

To put it bluntly, there was such a group of people at the end of the Ming Dynasty, who talked about it on weekdays, scolded this and that, and coaxed.

Really waited for Jiannu to go south, and when the matter came, they didn't dare to resist, they only dared to commit suicide by hunger strike or hang themselves or something, and there was no benefit to the country and the people?

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, in fact, these people are not martyrdom, but martyrdom, just for the so-called eternal fame.

Of course, this is better than Qian Qianyi's guys who know the times as Junjie, but it is much worse than Yan Yingyuan's flat-headed brother in the animal world.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are incompetent, and they have failed to share their worries for the emperor."

When it comes to this, Bi Ziyan can only kneel down and ask for sin.

Don't worry, in fact, it means to leave it alone.

As an old politician who has been in the court for many years, Bi Shangshu understands the subtext of this sentence.

At the same time, he also understood that in the future, the treasury would be reduced to a vassal of the inner treasury, and there would be no longer any independence.

Who told them that their treasury was so empty that they couldn't even live as rats?

Helping Bi Ziyan up, Emperor Chongzhen and the three old ministers sat down again and discussed some details.

In particular, Sun Chengzong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, explained the personnel arrangements and changes of the nine-sided general army.

Sensitive personnel such as Wang Pu and Jiang Xiang need to be taken precautions.

And generals who dare to fight, such as Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu, need to be promoted and reused.

In short, there are some things that must be arranged in advance.

Before you know it, the sun is already setting in the west, and the light is dimming.

Emperor Chongzhen rubbed his somewhat swollen head and sent away the three old ministers who had been meeting for a whole afternoon.

It is said that the person who holds the meeting does not do the work, and the person who does the meeting does not hold the meeting.

In fact, meetings are never easy!

"Emperor, Li Banghua, the squire of the military department, asks to see you."

Just as Emperor Chongzhen was about to get off work, the deputy head of the military reform team came to the door again.

"Xuan!"

It's a big deal, and it's going to be overtime again. People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves!

"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty's armament has festered, and the Ministry of Industry is useless!"

After performing the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, Li Banghua, who was in charge of rectifying the Beijing camp, complained to Emperor Chongzhen with a look of indignation.

"Oh, Aiqing, please speak slowly?"

Emperor Chongzhen was not in a hurry, but said in a gentle breeze.

For this rectification of the Beijing camp, he was fully prepared in his heart.

It's normal when there's something, and it's not normal when there's nothing.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Works' War Bureau is all rotten, not to mention the guns, and now they even cheat the armor of the soldiers."

Deputy Team Leader Li Banghua shook his head, took a pair of armor he brought, patted his thigh with a sad face, and said:

"Your Majesty, please see, the ministers straightened out the Beijing camp and found that the armor worn by the soldiers had no iron helmets on the top, no sleeves on the long armor, and no armor under the knees.

There are belts and belts between the nails, but there are no objects or decorations to protect the body from the knees to the ankles.

Such armor is made of all-iron, and in less than half a year, it will rust and corrode, and it will not protect the lives of soldiers at all. ”

"It's pretty beautiful!"

Emperor Chongzhen actually didn't understand the twists and turns inside, but he saw that Li Banghua brought a brand new pair of armor, with bright and beautiful colors.

"Your Majesty, the minister also thought at first glance that although the protection was a little worse, it was just because the court had no money, so they cut corners, and the material itself was not bad.

It was only when the generals in the army told me that they knew how the Ministry of Industry was cheating?

It turned out that they used the worst sand iron to make armor, soaked it in molten copper, and then dried it with a large fire, until the color was bright, and it seemed that the bronze was not half a point.

But in less than half a year, the copper color will fall off, and then corrode and rust. The leather part of the armor is not a seven-layer cowhide, but is filled with paper armor. ”

Li Banghua told Emperor Chongzhen about the doorway.

I have increased my knowledge, and I can't prevent it!

Counterfeiting is really a profound science!

They are the ancestors of the cottage in later generations.

If it weren't for Li Banghua to tell him, if Emperor Chongzhen went to Beijing to inspect and saw the soldiers wearing such stylish armor, he would definitely praise the Ministry of Industry.

I can't say that there will be a reward, so that the moths of the Ministry of Industry will scold me for being stupid.

"Damn! Let Wang Bandang solve this matter! ”

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were burning with anger, but his heart was extremely relaxed, and he had a reason to make trouble.

I hope you are more greedy and have a solid family background, please!

PS: Thank you for the reward from the book friend Fantasy World, I admit it.
