The ministers saw the emperor's punishment with their own eyes, and the worries in their hearts were swept away.

This operation is no more painful than killing him on the spot, ten or a hundred times!

These people usually don't have a lot of Pope's methods, but today I see outsiders deflated, and my psychology is so cool......

Next, the pilgrimage began to get to the point.

Jin Batu entered Beijing this time, under the banner of tribute, although Wusizang nominally belonged to the Ming Dynasty, but it was only a feudal land, and the Ming Dynasty did not station officials and troops in Wusizang, and the relationship between the two was more like a suzerainty and a vassal state.

The tribute must have tribute, and the tribute brought by Jin Batu is 500 yaks, 500 horses from the northern Tibetan river, and local specialties such as saffron, alpine snow lotus, and cordyceps.

Generally speaking, when a vassal state comes to pay tribute, the Ming court will inevitably give corresponding rewards.

Moreover, these rewards are bound to be much more than the value of the tribute.

As a result, many vassal states competed for tribute, several times a year, and finally the Ming court had to issue a restriction order, and the number of tributes, the number of people, and the scale were strictly controlled.

Wu Sizang has not paid tribute for many years, and the most intersection with the Ming Dynasty is the tea and horse market, this time suddenly entered Beijing, the original intention was also to put pressure on the Ming Dynasty, therefore, the surface work must be done enough, at least the tribute list does not seem to find any fault.

However, the next request is excessive.

On the grounds that he had no money to carry out the new policy, the king of Wusi Zanghua demanded that the imperial court provide 5 million taels of silver and 500,000 stone of grain.

The reason is that the Ming Dynasty has a new policy, and of course Wu Sizang has to do it, but there is no money, you have to give me money.

Speaking of which, this reason is quite valid.

Since Usizang is part of the Ming Dynasty, why is there no Usizang when the whole country is engaged in new policies?

Zhu Qizhen directly refused: "Five hundred yaks, five hundred horses, I want to exchange five million taels of silver, five hundred thousand stone grain, the wishful thinking of the king of interpretation is too good, right?" ”

Jin Batu said respectfully: "The yak and the horse are just the king's respect for His Majesty the Emperor, as for the silver taels and grain, they are for the new policy of Uszang, and I also ask His Majesty the Emperor to give him holy grace!" ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded secretly, there is nothing wrong with this statement, they are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they can't favor one over the other.

However, after all, it sounds good, but in fact, you are mobilizing troops and horses to prepare to fight with me, and if I give you money and food at this time, won't you have enough spirit to fight me?

The meeting did not continue, and Jinbatu was placed in Honglu Temple, and then officials from Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites continued to negotiate with him.

】

At the same time, Zhu Qizhen received a letter from King Ning.

The main problem mentioned in it is the railway, and Daming is not short of money, but ...... Lack of people!

Repairing the railway is a huge project, when the construction of the Liangjing railway, almost half of the power of the Ming Dynasty was used, tens of thousands of people were recruited, the road was paved in the mountains, and the bridges were built in the water, and the rails were extended forward by manpower and animal power.

However, the section from Jingzhou to Chengdu has been going on for three months, and the progress is very slow.

One of the reasons is that a large number of people have been recruited on the road from Nanjing to Jingzhou, and the manpower has been seriously insufficient.

In addition, Uszang is eyeing the tiger, and there is a war in the southwest at any time, so everyone is even more reluctant to come here to build roads.

Who knows if if you will fight, in order to make some hard-earned money, and then take your life, it's not worth it!

In this way, King Ning is even more worried, according to this progress, can the Year of the Monkey be repaired?

I haven't been in the domain, mainly for this road, if it can't be repaired in three or five years, it's not a matter if it has been dragged on like this.

In desperation, as long as he asked the imperial court for help, he hoped to recruit people from all over the country to solve his urgent needs.

When Zhu Qizhen saw Song Shu, he couldn't help but think about it, and then ordered someone to summon Yu Qian over.

Yu Qian finished reading the recital and said, "What is the emperor's plan?" ”

Zhu Qizhen asked rhetorically: "I want to hear your thoughts, how to deal with such a situation?" ”

"I think it's ......"

Yu Qian thought for a while, and then said: "Under the new policy, all walks of life need a lot of manpower, and it is not a good way to recruit people from all over the country. ”

"If not, where are you going to find people to build roads?"

"People...... Yes, but ......"

Seeing Yu Qian's strange expression, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but say: "If you have anything to say, just say it!" ”

"Yes!"

Yu Qian responded, and then said: "Your Majesty, Wu Si has a lot of manpower to spare, why don't you use it?" ”

Zhu Qizhen's eyes narrowed, and he said, "I have this intention!" ”

Yu Qian smiled dumbly and said, "It turns out that the emperor has thought of it a long time ago......"

The two hit it off and began to draft their intentions immediately.

Since Uszang wants money and food, okay, here you go!

However, this money and food must not be given in vain, you have to recruit local people to help the Ming Dynasty build the railway.

In this way, it not only solves the problem of insufficient manpower, but also saves financial expenditure.

Early the next morning, Jin Batu was summoned to the palace.

Immediately afterward, Wynne took out the decree and read it on the spot.

Kim Batu knelt down and bowed his head, but his face kept changing as he listened.

After the first nonsense, the first useful sentence he heard was that the Ming court agreed to the request of King Wusizang and was really ready to allocate a sum of money and grain.

It's ...... It was so unexpected!

In any case, he couldn't imagine that the Ming court would really agree.

Because now Uszang is reorganizing his troops and horses and preparing for war, and now he is giving money and food, isn't it the enemy?

Immediately afterwards, he heard that the money and grain were not directly transferred, but that Yu Qian, a scholar of the Cabinet University, took the lead in selecting some capable personnel from the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Academy of Sciences, and other yamen to form a leading group for the new policy of Wusizang to supervise the use of the money and grain.

What do you say about the money of the New Deal, which should be earmarked and not misappropriated......

Hearing this, Jin Batu looked confused, this money ...... To give or not to give?

In the end, he received the edict of thanksgiving, took the golden silk silk, and fell into deep thought.

Because he really can't figure it out, what tricks did the Ming court play?

Seeing him in a daze, Wynne whispered, "Jin Tongzhi? ”

"Ah......h

Jin Batu would like to explain, my surname is Jin Batu, not Jin!

However, it is useless to say these words to a eunuch......

Huai En said with a smile: "Please also move to Wenyuan Pavilion, Lord Yu wants to talk to you in detail." ”

"Talk about it in detail...... What? ”

"Naturally, it is a special fund for the New Deal, the emperor can say, how to spend this money, what kind of results are expected to be achieved after spending it, and a good plan must be formulated, and these are all the responsibilities of Lord Yu."

Jin Batu was distressed in his heart, the money was given to me, how do you care about spending it?

How can there be such a truth in the world......
