Everyone listened solemnly, and one by one did not dare to squeak.!

Xu Qian squinted, took a sip of tea, and said: "It's the end of the year, anyway, the yamen of the prefectures and counties are also idle, so you might as well invite the officials of Fujian and Nanzhili counties to Hangzhou and Ningbo, so that they can truly experience the new deal, Zhejiang is the first in the world, but although the officials of Nanzhili and Fujian always listen to the new deal, they don't know what the new deal is, and what can be seen and touched is what makes people down-to-earth. It's good to take them around and take a look, so that everyone has the bottom in their hearts, so that they can learn from each other, right? ”

This idea is not bad, everyone nodded their heads one after another, and said, "What the lord said is reasonable." ”

Xu Qian smiled, looked at Wang Gen and said, "Since this is the case, then please ask Mr. Wang Caohan." As for the hospitality, I'm afraid I'm going to bother Governor Wang. ”

Wang Zhifu said: "The lower officials dare not do their best. ”

After a brief meeting, Xu Qian only temporarily set the tone, since the new policies of Nanzhili and Fujian have become imperative, the current question is only how to implement it.

However, there is no need to rush many things, and now that Xu Qian has been promoted to governor, after all, it is still very joyful, and many people have to digest this happy event slowly.

And immediately after, the holy decree of the imperial court came again.

The action in the palace is very fast, as soon as his recital arrives, the court has a proposition, promoted Zhao Ming to the governor of Zhejiang, Wang Zhifu is the political envoy of Zhejiang, as for the candidate of Wang Zhifu, it is selected by the imperial court, this decision, the palace has made a lot of efforts, and it is obviously indeed a special situation in Zhejiang, after all, the new deal in Zhejiang, the palace is a lot of profits, so much silver flows to the palace every year, and the new deal is on business cuò Jiajing's plan to build a large number of buildings will fail.

Of course, another heavy news came, in the desert, the Ming army and the Tatar iron cavalry encountered, the two sides fought fiercely, the Ming army won a great victory, beheading more than 700 people, although their own casualties are not small, but facing the enemy, to have such a record, it is enough to celebrate.

In order to show that the Ming army, which did not take the risk of leaving the customs, had escorted all the first rank and more than 100 captives to Beijing, apparently because of the impact of the Battle of Pingwan, the imperial court was suspicious of the good news, and now, as long as you see the captives, you can almost be sure that the victory is not a lie.

The imperial court was very excited, and the emperor of Jiajing not only took the pill, but also ordered to reward the relevant personnel.

It's just that the next thing is a little more troublesome.

According to the report, the reason why this time was so smooth was because of the firearms of the Datong Shenji Army, which is said to have greatly improved its combat power since the firearms of the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau, and that the Shenji Army had a strong defensive ability on the city wall in the past, but once it encountered a field battle, its combat power was greatly reduced.

And because the quality of the firearms of the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau is relatively stable, the phenomenon of exploding rarely occurs, and the range, rate of fire and the speed of filling gunpowder have also been greatly improved, in the past, in the face of the iron cavalry, it was already rare to have a round of shooting time, and even many people were not ready, and the iron cavalry carrying the war horse and the big sword had already rushed into the formation, and there was no room for the god machine army to play, but now, the improvement of loading has made the time shorter and shorter. This gave enough time for the Divine Soldiers to calmly withdraw from the front after loading gunpowder and shooting, and hand over the front to the swords, shields, and spears in the rear.

It was the governor of Xuanda who also praised the firearms of the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau without hesitation in the book, and hoped that the imperial court would continue to buy them.

Not only were the Qiu Ba people satisfied with the firearms, but they also recognized the marching uniforms, tents, and even kettles of the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau, but they did not consider the actual situation of the imperial court, and clamored for a large number of purchases, and even inevitably said some heavy words, saying that if there were no armaments of the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau, in the event of a war, there was a risk of annihilation.

These people are cheating because they have directly thrown a big trouble to the Ministry of War and the Cabinet.

If you are purchasing, where will the money come from? But if you don't procure, if the army is defeated, even if there is no consequence of the change in the civil fort, but the outcome of this defeat is by no means acceptable to the imperial court, once defeated, many people will be finished, such a big black cauldron, not one or two people can afford to carry it, defeated, Qiu Ba will put the responsibility on you, anyway, they mentioned it, the key to victory lies in weapons, you don't procure, settle accounts in the future, that is your responsibility.

Every time the imperial court moves troops, there are a lot of things to rip off, but it is rare to have such a rup, and the Qiu Ba people have eaten the scales and have an iron heart, so they have to do it. Of course, the interest factor here is too big, these people's abacus is very fine, the batch of arms given to the Shenji Army back then, someone has already secretly calculated it, just the oil and water in their hands, it is ten thousand taels of silver!

Qiu Ba enlightened, suddenly felt that he was too stupid, usually drink the blood of the soldiers to eat empty salary, worry about labor, a year of hard work, did not see much cash, can get a few thousand taels of silver is the limit, and this way of eating, not only the means are despicable, there is a risk of impeachment of the imperial envoy at any time, and the border town is easy to cause an accident by deducting military salaries, if you are not careful, there is a mutiny, you don't know how to die.

It turns out that oil and water can be fished like this, and it turns out that eating soldiers' blood and eating empty salaries is so low-level, procurement, and his mother's is a profitable business.

Of course, the procurement not only has enough oil and water, but also has a great effect on the morale of the military; after all, the officers and men are holding the firearms of the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau, and they can use them with confidence, and they do not have to worry about the explosion of the two ends in three days, and the salaries can also be paid in full, so that the officers and men will not be disgruntled and do not have to worry about the lack of morale.

In this case, these people have become debt collectors, asking for money from the court in various names, but not giving money? If you don't give money, it's good to say, you bear the consequences, the soldiers are in the desert, many people can't stand the cold weather, the jackets issued by the imperial court are not enough to keep out the cold, and the quilts of the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau are filled with cotton, and there is fluff in the boots, which is both comfortable and warm, and now many of the brothers have frostbitten, so how can everyone fight?

It was supposed to be a great victory, but it turned out to be a lot to this point, and the court had a headache all of a sudden.

If you refuse to meet the demands of the soldiers when they leave the customs, it is obviously unjustifiable, and you should also show that you are reasonable.

However, it means that it is silver, and it is a large amount of silver, and the household department has converted it, and if it is necessary to meet the requirements of this group of Qiu Ba, the imperial court will at least allocate more than eight million taels of silver for the hair pattern, and this is only the number of this year, because many things are consumables, and in the coming year, the number will not be more than five million.

The grain and grass court is open to supply, and now it still needs so much silver to smash into it, not to mention that the treasury has no money, even if there is money, it will not give you such a waste.

To give or not to give?

The discussion of the court was very intense, the military department Shangshu was given by his best, and Liang Teng, the household secretary, actually had an ambiguous attitude, but it was the Ministry of Rites Shangshu who jumped out and reprimanded him fiercely, and the cabinet was also wavering, because Yang Yiqing is a person who understands military affairs, of course, he also knows the situation in the border town, and the military horses, weapons, firearms and even many military supplies supplied by the imperial court are indeed unsightly.

It's just that this situation, in fact, has not been improved, and there is no way to improve it at all, those fire guns that explode with one shot, and swords that curl the blade with a single slash, behind these, there is a very complete link of interests, which can never be touched by one person.

And now, Bian Zhen has proposed another way, that is, simply change supply to purchase, this method is feasible, but even if Yang Yiqing and his old man sell themselves, they can't get so much silver.

As for the military department Shangshu strongly agrees, on the one hand, it is the interest factor, on the other hand, it is also because he doesn't want to carry the black cauldron, as the military department Shangshu, he also has some understanding of the situation in the border town, Qiu Ba is not just a threat, the reality is indeed the case, once the army is defeated, maybe the cabinet officials can still pass the buck, he is the military department Shangshu can not escape the blame, so in order to keep his own night, he must strongly agree to do this, after all, the silver is not from the military department, but the responsibility lies with the military department.

The result of the discussion was that it was time to buy some, and the next question to discuss was, where will the money come from?

Although a lot of silver was allocated to the inner treasury, there were only more than 300,000 yuan left in this silver, and there was not much that could really be used except for a sum of silver left in case of emergency.

So, everyone's eyes naturally fell on the body of Liang Teng, the head of the household book.

You are in charge of the household, and in that case, you must be in charge of the silver.

Liang Teng came up with a solution to the problem -- issuing bonds.

As soon as this method was proposed, it was immediately questioned by a lot, the court issued bonds, let the rich and nobles buy, in order to encourage everyone's enthusiasm, of course, you have to consider the interest, the household department takes five cents of interest, that is, you put one hundred taels of silver to the court, the court every year, pay you back the interest of five taels of silver, three years later, and then return the principal.

And the doubts mainly come from two places, one is that this can really raise money, and the other is that it is cool to borrow money now, what should I do if I repay the money in the future?

The first chapter is delivered, asking for a monthly pass.
