The amount reported by Ye Chunqiu is not an exaggeration to say that it is an astronomical amount. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Millions of taels of silver, even if the treasury doesn't do anything, it can't maintain this sailor.

Liu Jian and others are like mirrors, and even those royal histories who love to fight are now dumb.

No money, you say an egg.

At this time, someone smiled, this person is Zhang Cai, the secretary of the ministry, Zhang Cai said with a smile: "What Zhen Guogong said is very true, but the cost is still too high, then again, the old man heard from the rumors that Zhen Guogong has begun to recruit water division personnel, it seems that this time, Zhen Guogong is determined to win the new water division of Zhenguo Mansion." ”

He broke the heavens in one word, he couldn't refute the matter of the water master, in fact, he didn't understand, but now he doubted Ye Chunqiu's intentions, it was another matter, what do you Ye Chunqiu want to do? What does it mean to rashly want to build a water division?

This made many people look at Ye Chunqiu with suspicion, and some people even felt happy in their hearts, feeling that Ye Chunqiu had been caught.

Ye Chunqiu said indifferently: "Sailor, who wants to build it, whether it is the imperial court or the Zhenguo Mansion, in fact, they are all the same, they are all serving the imperial court." He did not deny this, and continued: "Now that the new army of Zhenguo has captured thirty ships, it is natural to make the best use of them, recruit personnel, and learn the methods of navigation. ”

"What does Zhang Gong mean, does the imperial court want to build a water division? This is great, this is a move for the benefit of the country and the people. Ye Chunqiu began to tout Zhang Cai's vision, and then said word by word: "Actually...... Zhang Gong's meaning, the younger generation understands very well, millions of taels of silver, it is not too much, with the power of the imperial court, how can it not be raised? Zhang Gong is worried about the country, presumably he wants to use the water builder to change the current stubborn disease of the imperial court, which is to increase taxes, if this can be done, it will be beneficial to the country, Zhang Gong has a lofty vision and teaches people to admire. ”

Zhang Cai listened to Ye Chunqiu's words, his face was blue and white, but he was speechless.

He is a secretary of the ministry, and the matter of money has nothing to do with him.

This surnamed Ye is enough, and he directly put on a high hat, and everyone knows that there is a problem with this tax system at the moment, and it must be changed, this is actually the consensus of the whole world, but the problem is, how to change it?

Raise taxes, increase taxes, whose taxes do you add, ordinary people's?

People are already bitter enough, how can you peel the skin and knock the bones, and still scrape out millions of taels of silver from them?

Then next, the rich are not the gentry, or the clan, the gentry spend money for nothing, that is under their beds, but this money, do you dare to take it? You beat their ideas, not to mention the local gentry, the minister of the Manchu Dynasty, which one is not the home of the gentry? Even you Zhang Cai is also a gentry, you are willing to cut your own flesh, but others may not be willing, you really dare to make up your mind on this, don't say that you are a scholar, even if you are the Son of Heaven, people will fight with you.

Allocate a dime to benefit the world and do nothing. The ancestors have long seen through all this, and what this means is that those who have wealth and ability will be indifferent to what is beneficial to society if they give up a little bit of it.

The tax increase is undoubtedly fatal.

The clan also has silver, you look at the palaces built by others, and see how many fields they have, but can you touch them?

Of course, Zhang Cai understands the depth of this, so he must not show his position on raising taxes, and he immediately said: "The tax increase is really misleading the country and the people, how can the court compete with the people for profit?" Just to build a sailor? ”

He said, with a look of disdain.

Ye Chunqiu frowned and said: "The water builder is to protect the territory and the people, if the people are gone, how can they compete with the people?" Zhang Gong's statement is ridiculous. ”

After Ye Chunqiu said that, Zhang Cai immediately retorted: "The thief may not come, the sailor is just wasting public money, and it will not help, not to mention, the law of the ancestors cannot be abolished, and the taxes of the imperial court are all from the ancestral law. ”

Zhang Cai is now anxious to whitewash himself, for fear that he will have something to do with the tax increase, this is definitely not a trivial matter, if he really wants to get infected with the tax increase, he is asking for his own death, the minister of the Manchu Dynasty, I am afraid that no one dares to make a fuss about this.

Ye Chunqiu said coldly: "Zhang Gong is not willing to spend money and food to support the water master, and he can't protect the territory and the people, but he also points fingers, accusing the Zhenguo Government of recruiting water division personnel, dare to ask Zhang Gong, what does this mean?" Could it be that Zhang Gong and those Franc machine people have an old age, or do they never take those white bones that Quanzhou was slaughtered by Franc Machine, and never take it to heart? That being the case, then from now on, if there are pirates who invade our Daming Haijiang and slaughter our soldiers and civilians, should this account be counted on Zhang Gong's head? ”

Zhang Cai was dumbfounded for a while, Ye Chunqiu, the prince of the town, had a transcendent status, where did ordinary people dare to squeeze him with such words, he had to say coldly: "The old man didn't say that he wouldn't build a water division." ”

His temperament is exposed here.

He is the one who does not dare to bear the responsibility for the future turmoil in Haijiang, and he is also the one who does not break the big stand to go to the tax reform, and he has said all the good things.

The minister of the full palace, no one is easy to take the lead at this time, in fact, this matter, everyone is clear in their hearts, who proposes not to build a water division, but in the future will have to take responsibility, once there is a fleet of Franc planes, and the city is slaughtered, it will be really fatal.

But what kind of support do you get? Take the money and food of the gentry, or take the money and food of the clan? These two are the most unprovoked groups in the Ming Dynasty, if you take the Pingtou people, the taxes of the Pingtou people are not light, and you have to add millions of taels of silver a year, which is obviously to force people to death, hundreds of thousands of taels can also make a little article, millions, that is not to think about it.

In the midst of this silence.

Liu Jian probably already understood, and he said slowly: "The Zhenguo Mansion is willing to come forward, this is a good thing, according to the old man's opinion, you might as well let the Zhenguo Mansion build a water division." ”

He saw that Ye Chunqiu had the courage to take responsibility, so he was willing to throw this burden to Ye Chunqiu, the imperial court...... There is really nothing to be done, this water division really can't be built, but this water division has to be built.

As soon as these words came out, Ye Chunqiu was silent.

But some people are in a hurry.

Those who are here today are not only ministers, but there are also many nobles, and even a few clans have not yet returned to the domain, so listen here.

Thinking that the Zhenguo Mansion was going to set up a water division, many people gasped, and they were also here listening to the ministers arguing for a long time about the matter of building a water division, Shou Ninghou and Jian Changbo, hearing Liu Jian's last words, the two glanced at each other in unison, and almost peed their pants.
