"This year's military aircraft, I am naturally satisfied, I have nothing to say, in the past, when Prince Gong was changed outside, there were some boiling rumors, ah, Yi Zhongshu used a horse, and replaced Lu with Chai Hu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This is all nonsense, this is all slander against the center, it is all an attack on the court and me, I can't listen to such words! ”

The horse is a stupid horse, and Bupleurum is a traditional Chinese medicine with a higher price than reeds, in order to satirize the cowardice of these new princes. The composition of the new Military Aircraft Department is far from that of the former Military Aircraft Department in terms of knowledge, prestige, ability, and character. Of course, the Empress Dowager Cixi will not slap herself in the mouth, and it is impossible to belittle the minister of the Military Aircraft Department who she elected into this, so she must support it, not to mention that these people are ridiculed by the world as the "Hou Party" Although the talent is not outstanding, but the diligence and attitude are not too bad, not to mention the ability to fully implement her own governing ideas, the Queen Mother has been hanging the curtain for many years, has grown up rapidly, is familiar with political affairs, has rich experience, and does not need many people to point fingers, so the departure of the two Gao Wang, the deposition of Prince Gong, It's all a reasonable thing, since it can be successfully implemented its own will, and the established national policy is implemented in an orderly manner, this is the ability of Prince Li and others, this period of time, although the Empress Dowager Cixi must bow down to everything, and the military aircraft will ask for orders in everything, but this is the case, it can be regarded as tasting the taste of the power monopoly and the words of the heavenly constitution, and the overall satisfaction is satisfied, and the obedient center is not an incompetent echo worm.

"Others don't know, can I still not know the hard work of the Military Aircraft Department? This errand is a hundred times more, but there are not many more people in the military aircraft department, and there are more new ministries and yamen, and everyone shares more things every day, and Wang Xifeng, the head of the dream of Red Mansions, said that he is a housekeeper who just barely takes care of it, picks up a broom, loses a nail rake, and is just fighting fires, and dealing with the past when something comes out. After so many years, don't I know that this military aircraft department is the same? It's so hard work. For so many years, the war in Vietnam, the reform of the Eight Banners, and the development of foreign affairs in various places have all been handled smoothly and smoothly. ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi first affirmed the merits and hard work of the military ministers, Prince Li and others listened to it very useful, especially Prince Li, although he had a modest attitude, but he was not a mud bodhisattva without character, and he was always a little unhappy when he heard the gossip outside, but the Empress Dowager Cixi was so, he was very moved, and knelt down with his head, "The servants and others are praised by the Empress Dowager, and they are very grateful and panicked!" ”

He knelt down on the ground, "Hurry up, what is King Li, what is this doing," the Empress Dowager Cixi said kindly, "Come up, you know my temperament, I never say anything polite, I have always been a straight person who has something to say, hurry up." ”

Also, the queen mother, who listened to the power of the government, didn't need to be polite to anyone at all, and there was no need to tell lies, Prince Li and the others stood up suddenly, "The credit naturally has to be said more, otherwise if I don't say it, you think in your hearts that I don't know how you are on an errand, and you will inevitably have any grievances in the future, which is not good, so what I mean, this credit naturally needs to be talked about more." You can handle the errand of the military aircraft department, this is your credit, naturally yes, but this is no money, in the end, it is also your head and end. ”

Zhang Zhiwan hurriedly said, "Yes, yes!" The minister asked the Empress Dowager to follow the example of all the officials of the Japanese State to reduce the salary by one-fifth and leave it for the use of the imperial court. ”

No one here is short of silver, so naturally they don't look down on one-fifth of this point, but the officials of the whole country have reduced their income by one-fifth, and this amount will be more than one million in a year.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother shook her head, "It can't be so, you are not short of money, but the officials below are counting on this bit of silver to support their families, if it is reduced so much, many things that were originally planned to be good will be changed, such as a few books for the children, a few clothes added, and a few copper coins for honoring the elderly, these will be less, no matter how short of silver, you can't follow the example of the Japanese so small, I made an edict in the old year to explain that the court is short of silver, and I will not ask the subjects to raise donations, As long as you do a good job as an errand and do business, it is the greatest support for the imperial court, not to mention that you have not been selling bonds all these years? In the purchase of treasury bonds, the common people have supported the country and earned a little interest on the other hand, so that they will not suffer losses themselves, and they have the best of both worlds, which is very appropriate. By the way, speaking of this bond, next year's largest batch of treasury bonds, the seven-year treasury bond is about to expire, and here is a large amount of silver to be returned, is the household department ready? ”

Yan Jingming shook his head, "The household department has calculated many times, even if all the newly minted silver dollars of the bank this year and next year will pay bonds to the household department, I am afraid that it will not be enough, if you want to move other prepared silver here first, other places will not be able to hold on, next year is the March bond maturity, the household department estimates, by the time of June, the household department will be out of silver!" Although we can continue to issue bonds, we still don't know how much they can be issued there. ”

The Military Aircraft Department and others were taken aback, although they knew that the household was short of silver, but they didn't know that the lack of silver had reached such a difficult time, the Empress Dowager Cixi was also full of bitterness, her stall was really too big, so big that the finances were almost bankrupt, and at this time she was a little hindsighted and her back was shocked into a cold sweat, until this time, one is to thank the Military Aircraft Department for letting herself desperately spend money on construction, and the other is to thank Yan Jingming for sparing no effort to manage every penny, And he reminded himself of the lack of silver, if it really comes to the time of the shortage of silver next year, will he tear his face and not return the bonds? If such a shameless thing is done, the credit of the whole country will go bankrupt, so this year, is the best opportunity! The Empress Dowager Cixi thought of this, and said resolutely, "If you are short of silver, you have to find a way, if you wait until next year to hold Buddha's feet, the daylily will be cold, there is a way, the household department and the Daqing Bank have come up with it, that is, to issue new currency!"
