Yu Zhiwei and Leng Changqiu, whose face was blue and white, entered the Wenyuan Pavilion together, Tan Huaiyu and Chen Hui were already waiting in the pavilion, brought Yu Zhiwei in, and quickly got up to greet him.

Yu Zhiwei arranged for people to sit separately, and the first sentence he said was: "The war in the south has won a few more battles, and now it has gone south to Jiaxing." ”

Chen Hui and Tan Huaiyu naturally knew that the news came back from their own way, and hurriedly said a few words of joy to Yu Zhiwei.

"In the letters that my brother sent back to me, he also talked about other things." Yu Zhiwei turned the cup in his hand and glanced at Chen Hui and Tan Huaiju, "We talked about this matter a long time ago, if we want to consolidate coastal defense, we must train sailors. ”

The consolidation of coastal defense and the outsourcing of the military industry are both new policies, and now the latter is clearly on the right track, but the former is still hanging in the air.

"That's right." Chen Hui took the lead in opening his mouth and said to Yu Zhiwei, "Originally, when the rebel army broke out in a big battle from Zhejiang and Fujian, we used to think about coastal defense and sailors, and at the beginning, Zhu Yu and Wang Ye also talked privately. It's just that it was delayed later due to the incidents on the side, and now that the prince has won the battle in the south, it is time to put this matter back on the agenda. ”

"That's exactly what this palace means." Yu Zhiwei took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, "Our news is usually faster than that of the imperial court, and it is best to draw up a charter today, and when the time comes, whether it is on the fold or directly mentioned in the court, there will be a preparation." I thought that the capture of Suzhou and Jiaxing would be available either in the middle of the night today or tomorrow morning, and the two elders would consider the timing so that they could discuss it with the DPRK and China. ”

Chen Hui and Tan Huaiyu naturally replied yes.

"It's just that now training the water army, you need money everywhere." Yu Zhiwei frowned, bent her fingers and knocked on the table, she had a white agate ring on her finger, and knocked on the table with a crisp sound, "The original implementation of Yinzhuang was mostly in places like Jiangnan, where industry and commerce were developed, and the north was originally inferior to the south, but now there is a war in the south, which is not easy to implement, and the implementation effect in the north is not as good as that in the south...... Originally, this was an extremely profitable method, but now it seems that it is not so easy. ”

There is a shortage of money in the treasury, and everyone knows that there has been a shortage of money since the sea ban was closed, and now if they only support Yu Jingning and them to fight, it will barely be able to support it, but if it is necessary to "train the new army" and "strengthen coastal defense," it is still far from enough.

Many times, Yu Jingning is paying out of his own pocket, and Yu Zhiwei has also begun to fund.

But there are two people in the Liangyu family, one is the prince and the other is the queen's mother, and they actually emptied their pockets for Daheng's navy. If it weren't for the strict management in the palace, Yu Zhiwei would have wanted to pawn his dowry, but this is naturally a drop in the bucket.

This kind of thing cannot be done without the strength of the whole country.

"Two years ago, I knocked him once, and he didn't dare to come out." Yu Zhiwei smiled bitterly, and continued, "But after all, the power of this household is still in the hands of the eunuchs, and we don't know whether the accounts they reported are true or false, and it is not easy to handle." ”

Tan Huaiyu had been holding the pen in his hand just now, making comparisons on the paper, and only then did he raise his head and say: "So what we should do now is to take back the household department from the hands of the eunuch party and seize the initiative, and the second thing is to find a way to open up sources and reduce expenditure." ”

He frowned, and almost poked the tip of the brush in his hand into his face, Yu Zhiwei looked at the thrilling on it, and before she could say a word to remind him, Tan Huaiyu had already smeared the ink on his chin and added a pinch of beard to it.

Yu Zhiwei: "......"

She hurriedly greeted Leng Changqiu: "Changqiu, you call a little chamberlain to come over and serve Tan Ge Lao to wash his face." ”

Tan Huaiyu realized that he had smeared the ink on his chin, and his face was a little embarrassed, but after all, he was talking about business at this time, so after a while, he sat upright: "According to the minister's meaning, the former thing is easier to handle than the latter thing." ”

After years of suppression by the new faction, Tian Xin's prestige in the court has long been much worse than before, almost to the point where everyone shouts and beats him, and as long as there is the slightest mistake, Tian Xin is afraid that he will suffer immediately.

Not to mention the seriousness of going to prison and beheading, at least demotion can be done.

But the latter thing is indeed difficult to do, just like what Yu Zhiwei said, Yinzhuang is not implemented well, and they have no way to make money.

Unless the sea ban is reopened.

But now that the war in the south is like this, it is not necessary to say that the sea is banned, and it is one thing whether the lives of the people of Zhejiang and Fujian can be saved.

Chen Hui took advantage of the little waiter to wash Tan Huaiyu's face, and said to Yu Zhiwei: "The minister thought of a way, but it was just ...... It's not a one-size-fits-all approach. ”

"Chen Ge Lao wants to talk about it, if there is something incomplete, we will discuss it again." Yu Zhiwei thinks that it is good to have a way, as for whether it is feasible or not, it is a matter of discussion later, and you can't just think about it, you have to say it and discuss it.

Chen Hui said: "Niangniang's family is a martial artist, and the domain is on the frontier, so I guess I haven't experienced such incidents. At the beginning, there were many lords' families, such as salt business, or when the city department set up a sailing order, there was always a time when the silver could not be turned. At this time, these lords' houses will rely on their faces and turn around from the treasury, because they were originally doing official business, so it is also necessary to ask for more silver, so nowadays, there should be many families who owe money to the treasury. ”

Yu Zhiwei nodded at the beauty mole on his chin and thought about it—that is to say, if he got back the silver in the hands of this group of people and charged some interest as appropriate, he should be able to make up some money for the use of the new navy.

However, this method is indeed inappropriate.

"It's just that if you ask them to ask for this money now, let alone take out all the principal and interest for a while, it's okay to owe less, but if you owe too much, you may not be able to turn around in a while." Chen Hui frowned, "When the time comes, it will inevitably make the DPRK and China complain again, and now they are already fighting, and if they make trouble like this, it will inevitably be too unstable." ”

Yu Zhiwei also knows that many lords' homes are looking at flowers on the surface, if they suddenly let people take out so much silver, it is really difficult to do, if you want this group of nobles to eat chaff instead of fine clothes and food, what is the difference between it and taking their lives?

"Either ......" Tan Huaiyu was served to wash off the ink on his chin, and finally could speak, "You can only investigate corruption, but this is obviously not a safe way." ”

Yu Zhiwei sighed, really, no matter where he is, there will always be a penny that will stump the hero.
