After a while, the monarch and the ministers played the right thing and decided to check the salt tax, but as for how many people to offend, there was no longer a lot of control.

The emptiness of the treasury has always been the norm in the Hongzhi period, and it is impossible to do things without money, especially for military affairs, which are very expensive.

After Li Dongyang and the officials of the Sixth Ministry made an estimate, they found that the cost of training a new army of 10,000 firearms was far more than 10 times that of the traditional army.

Their understanding of military affairs is only limited to the matter of training troops and purchasing firearms, and as for the points put forward by Liu Daxia, they have no motivation to change them.

In their view, the training of a new army of firearms can be regarded as a great success, and the rest of the things do not need to be taken lightly.

Even for the matter of the water master, he was lucky, thinking that the strength of the water master was strong, and even if the Ming Dynasty caught up, it would be difficult to win in a short time.

It is better to train more firearms in the new army, as long as the Tu people are defeated on land, then the sailors of the Tu people will not be able to run to the land.

It can only be said that he has not been completely awakened, just like taking it clear, and at first he was just thinking about buying some advanced weapons.

But to say they don't understand, it's not.

Liu Daxia had imitated artillery muskets, and they all knew about it.

also understands that these craftsmen should be useless, otherwise, Liu Daxia would not think about abolishing the craftsman's registration.

But there is no way! They don't dare to make big changes, and since they can still hold on now, they will tinker with it and wait until they have vitality.

In the final analysis, it is to believe in the wisdom of the successor, cover the problem, and wait for the future generations to solve it.

Zhang Juzheng's reform in another time and space has also reached the point where it must be changed, and even so, it is facing many resistances.

After Zhang Juzheng's death, he was not exempted from being liquidated.

"Master, I just heard a few adults talking, is this man really so powerful?"

After the five ministers left, Liu Jin obediently walked in front of Zhu Houzhao with the parrot.

Zhu Houzhao fiddled with it, and the parrot shouted: "Long live the emperor!" Long live the Emperor! ”

Zhang Yong flattered: "This little thing is really clever!" ”

Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng and others next to him also echoed.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "The people are powerful, but their things are good!" Let's just say that these telescopes, pianos, kerosene lamps, glasses, which ones are not good things? ”

"That's what the master said! Isn't this Li Ge Lao also wearing black glasses? Gu Dayong said.

Zhu Hou glanced at him, sighed and said, "It's a pity! The soldiers are also very powerful, I think my father is the emperor, he was scared by the soldiers, and in the end he died! ”

After speaking, Zhu Houzhao squeezed out his tears, unusually sad.

Liu Jin also said with a crying voice: "The people are so hateful, the slave maid really can't wait to go to Dongqin immediately and slash the king of the emperor!" ”

"Huh!" Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said: "You can't think like this, although the black soldiers are powerful, at least they are easier to deal with, people come to beat you, sign a treaty and leave, this is much better than the little Mongolian prince!"

I think that my ancestors and ancestors of the Ming Dynasty have always regarded the Northern Yuan Dynasty as the most powerful enemy, and Chengzu and Xuanzong have made several northern expeditions to Mobei, what a great achievement! When I was young, I often listened to the teachers, and whenever I talked about Taizu, Taizong, and Xuanzong, I longed for it! If I am allowed to go out, I will definitely clean up the remnants of the Northern Yuan first! ”

"What the master said is, let the people bounce for a while longer!" Liu Jin looked flattering, and then said worriedly: "It's just ...... It's just that Fang Caichen also heard it, and several ministers are saying that the silver is not enough, if it is ...... If there is no money, the master will not be able to recruit soldiers, and he will not raise enough food and grass! ”

"Hey!" Zhu Houzhao sighed and said, "I'm also very worried! ”

"Eh, master, the slave has a way to raise money!" Zhang Yong said suddenly.

Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Say it quickly!" ”

Zhang Yong said with a smile: "Master, there are only two things, one is the Huangzhuang, and the other is the Huangdian!" We only need to raid the shops of profiteers and the landlords in the fish and meat villages, and then we can obtain land and shops, and then the masters will send people to run them, so that the land rent can be reduced, the prices will be stabilized, and the masters can also earn money from it, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

"Great goodness!" Zhu Houzhao was excited, he got up and walked around, thinking that this idea was really good, why didn't a few teachers think of it.

He immediately said, "I'll leave this matter to you!" ”

Zhang Yong was busy thanking, and his heart was already happy.

Liu Jin took the opportunity to say: "When Gonggong Zhang talked about the method of raising money, it made the slave and maid think of the customs that the adults talked about.

Now there are several customs, and the emperor can't let this customs fall into the hands of outsiders! If...... If the people sent out collude with the gangsters, there may be some kind of trouble, so ...... This kind of thing of dealing with the people of the Yellow People, it is better to hand it over to the eunuchs of the town like Ningbo City! ”

Zhu Houzhao actually thought so, and he secretly said in his heart: "If you hand it over to the big turban, I'm afraid that if you ask them for money in the future, you will have to beg for it." But if a eunuch is sent, then how to use the money has to be decided! ”

"Okay, in that case, then this customs will send a town guard eunuch to each place."

Liu Jin hurriedly glanced at the few people next to him, Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng and others, and immediately knelt down and said, "Master, the slaves and maids all want to work for you!" ”

Gu Dayong said with a sincere face: "Master, such an important customs, I don't know how many treasures are handled, let the slaves and maids go, you can rest assured!" When the time comes, we will get you back one by one! ”

"Good! Good! Good! "Zhu Houzhao is about to jump up with joy, can there still be treasures to play? This must not be left to the hands of the turban.

As he spoke, he issued an order to let Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng, Gao Feng, Luo Xiang, and Wei Bin be in charge of customs.

Before Yang Tinghe and the others began to discuss, he made a decision.

can only blame the civil official group, I don't know what is going on in the city, but Liu Jin already knows it.

He knows how much oil and water is in there!

So today, as soon as I heard the ministers talk about customs, I decided on this strategy and coaxed Zhu Houzhao to agree to the matter.

Even for the affairs, Liu Jin is also a little concerned, feeling that as long as he handles it, there will be no shortage of oil and water.

……

Two days later, when Yang Tinghe saw Zhu Houzhao's appointment to the customs yamen, he almost vomited blood in anger.

When he was discussing with Li Dongyang and others, he actually had a certain amount of selfishness, that is, to place his own people in the customs.

After all, within ten years, there is no possibility of defeating the Huang people, so Yang Tinghe believes that the most important thing in the future is the Huang affair.

If you can control the customs, it is equivalent to the same people, there is an extra layer of interest exchanges, an extra layer of intersection, and the benefits are self-evident.

After thinking about it, he immediately found Li Dongyang and asked him to persuade Zhu Houzhao to take back his fate.

But Li Dongyang was vague and didn't seem to want to care about this matter.

It turned out that after Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, and Liu Jian communicated privately, they felt that the affairs were to be done, but Yang Ting and the sharp spirit were too strong, which was not a good thing.

Therefore, it is a good thing that the customs matter was contaminated by the eunuchs.

He persuaded: "Jiefu, you are still young, you should know about seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages!" At the moment, I don't know what kind of whirlpool this customs is, and if those eunuchs want to go, let them go! You can concentrate on your work, and you can train and buy firearms! ”

"Hey, Elder Li Ge, I'm just here to do business!" Yang Tinghe hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "I have talked with Mr. Yong at the same time, and I have also discussed with Ma Wensheng and Wang Heng, this ...... I'm afraid I'll have to help with this task! ”

"What do you mean?"

"Mr. Shi Yong, I once purchased firearms from Eastern Qin, if we want to train soldiers, the firearms we make are not as good as those of the people, but they are not as good as the people of the people, as long as they ...... As long as we are willing to pay the price, the firearms we buy will be better than the ones we make ourselves! Yang Tinghe looked embarrassed.

Now that the customs is being taken away by the eunuchs, how can he still engage in black-box operations.

Li Dongyang was silent for a while, looked at Yang Tinghe and said, "In this way, the old man has to persuade you even more!" What you make yourself is not as good as the Huang people, but you can make it yourself, if you rely on the Huang people, this new army will not be trained! ”

Yang Tinghe shouted with a headache and explained: "Pavilion Elder, it's not like you think, the armies of the guards in various places naturally use their own ones, but are you ...... Don't you want to have a strong army that can protect the Jingshi? ”

Li Dongyang was stunned, he hadn't thought about it. Yang Tinghe's consideration was also very reasonable, and he finally nodded.

The two entered the palace together, and after waiting for a while, they knew that Zhu Houzhao had gone to walk the eagle.

Liu Jin has begun to bring birds and beasts from all over the world for Zhu Houzhao's entertainment!

finally met, Zhu Houzhao only agreed face-to-face, but behind his back, he still had no will.

When they went to look for it again, Zhu Houzhao simply hid, and he couldn't refuse.

Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe both instantly understood that the conflict with the eunuchs had begun!

The situation that Emperor Hongji had managed to maintain collapsed a few months after his death.
