Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion.

Hu Hu's face was pale and his spirit was sluggish, and the essence of an elderly person who was injured once could hardly be replaced, but fortunately, Hu Hu ran all over the mountains and rivers of Daming when he was young, and his physical fitness was excellent.

Said to Yu Qian, who was sitting in a precarious position: "Your Majesty asked you to go to Fujian to patrol?" ”

knew that Yu Qian would be reinstated.

But I didn't expect to go to Fujian.

Yu Qian hummed indifferently, and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty intends to go to the West." ”

Hu Hu sighed, "The treasury is so empty. ”

Everyone knows that the treasury has no money.

But the current situation is not too serious, as long as it lasts until the autumn harvest and waits for local taxes to come up, it can wipe out the impact of the rebellion of Shi Heng, Fang Ying and others.

It's up to God.

The wind and rain will be smooth tomorrow, the north wind will be beautiful, and everyone will be happy when they have nothing to do.

But if the grassland is dry and the grass is dead, in order to survive the cold winter, the Mobei Yi people will disturb the border or even go south, and the Ming Dynasty will have to invest a lot of money to defend the border.

The good news is that there is no need to send grain cloth to Dulbert this year.

Last year was an expedient measure for counterinsurgency.

If the Dulbert Ministry comes to disturb the border again this year, with the temperament of the Ming Dynasty, if you dare to disturb the border, I will dare to beat you, anyway, the country is here, see who can't survive first.

The Ming Dynasty has never been instigated in the war!

Hu Hu said again: "It is indeed a good idea to fill the treasury to go to the Western Ocean, but the treasure ships used by the Three Treasure Eunuchs back then have been abandoned for decades, and I can't pick out a few complete ones, I'm afraid it will be difficult to form a fleet to go to the Western Ocean." ”

Yu Qian's face was solemn, his eyes stared at Hu Hu motionlessly, and he said slowly: "This is the reason why a certain person came to find Yuan Jie." ”

Hu Hu was silent.

Going straight is Yu Qian's style of acting, but the identity and status of the two are in a relationship with each other, and Yu Qian went straight to the topic as soon as he came, which made Hu Hu a little overwhelmed and simply silent.

He knew what Yu Qian meant, but Hu Hu couldn't be the master of this matter alone.

There are so many people involved!

The interests involved made the civil and official group unwilling to go to the West again.

Yu Qian didn't come to discuss with Hu Hui, and said undoubtedly: "This matter is not negotiable, after so many years, they haven't eaten enough, and His Majesty didn't let them all vomit out, just some treasure ships." Yuan Jie, you know better than anyone else in your heart that after Jianwen Yu Xian appeared, it was not just to save the emperor, there were bound to be bigger moves, if the court caused turmoil in the mountains and rivers because of the lack of money to quell the chaos, who else in the world could keep the Wujin Hu clan behind you? ”

At that time, Hu Hu was in charge of finding Emperor Jianwen.

Decades later, the remnants of Emperor Jianwen raised troops to rebel, shouldn't Hu Hu be an explanation for the Son of Heaven?

Hu Hu is afraid of death, and he doesn't know.

But the Wujin Hu clan behind him will definitely be implicated.

Yu Qian's words directly pinched Hu Hu to death, and sighed: "How many ships?" ”

After the Western Ocean was stopped, some of the treasure ships were allocated to the coastal anti-Japanese guard posts, because the treasure ships were too large to sail on the rivers, so the remaining treasure ships were parked in the corners of the coastal ports for standby.

It has long been deserted.

What His Majesty wants are those treasure ships that have been abandoned for many years.

But His Majesty did not know that the treasure ship was no longer there.

It's all sold one after another!

The reason why the imperial court did not record and receive the money was because the local officials colluded up and down to eat the money.

Of course, the central ministers and relevant departments on the side of the imperial court did not take less money.

Therefore, during the Chenghua period in history, Zhu Jianshen said that he wanted to go to the West to fill the treasury, and scared the civil official group enough, while forming a group to fool Emperor Chenghua, he pushed Liu Daxia to hide and burn the files left by the Three Treasures eunuchs.

It's just that I'm afraid of the East Window incident.

Yu Qian actually knew that the treasure ship had been sold, and he once wanted to recover the money from the sale of the treasure ship and hold the relevant officials accountable, but during the orthodox dynasty, Yu Qian's power was not enough, and the local officials colluded with the powerful eunuch Wang Zhen, and they were in collusion, and Zhu Qizhen was even more obedient to Wang Zhenyan.

After the defense of Beijing, Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, and after Yu Qian formed a regimental camp to keep the north safe, he wanted to continue to investigate the treasure ship, but the ownership of the treasure ship was complicated, and the Ministry of War could manage it, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry could also manage it.

The civilian-bureaucratic clique is also linked together because of their interests.

Every time Yu Qian sent someone to the coastal area to investigate, the officials he recommended were either perfunctory or delayed again and again after arriving at the coastal port, and finally did not dare to touch this chain of interests.

We all know that the water here is very deep, and ordinary people can't hold it.

Yu Qian had no choice but to give up.

After all, he alone could not stand up to the entire civilian-bureaucratic clique.

Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty's meaning, I don't know if I can make money, first use five treasure ships to form a fleet and go nearby, but you and I know very well, how can it not make money, so we need to prepare more treasure ships, at least thirty." ”

Hu Hu looked embarrassed, "It is more difficult to let them vomit thirty treasure ships out than to ask for their lives, and there is a question that has to be considered, if their interests are moved, will they be taken advantage of by Jianwen Yu's sins?" ”

Yu Qian snorted coldly, "Yuan Jie, why pretend to be confused? ”

If you don't win over local officials along the coast to carry out overseas smuggling, where will Jianwen's remnants get the funds to make trouble, and how can they control the central courtiers like Xu Bin and Zhao Rong.

I'm afraid that some of the treasure ships are in the hands of Jianwen Yu!

Yu Qian got up, "That's all I said, if there are no thirty treasure ships after arriving in Fujian, and I can't give orders to Your Majesty, I can only report it to the truth, and the person who takes over from someone to Fujian to do this will be Hang Yu, Tang Xing and others who led the regimental battalion and the 26 guards of the pro-army!" ”

Are you happy to eat fat and big-eared, and don't let the country make money?

Then don't eat well, flip the table!

This is the threat of the red fruit.

But Hu Hu knew that Yu Qian was not such a person, and he didn't bother to threaten anyone at all.

Yu Qian was just telling a fact.

Yu Qian got up, "Yuan Jie's injury has not healed, so you don't have to send it far, stay behind." ”

The teacup on the table was still steaming, Yu Qian had never taken a sip from beginning to end, this was his attitude!

Looking at Yu Qian's back, Hu Hu sighed.

Thirty treasure ships, when they are sold, are cheap, and they are not necessarily bought back.

It's not hard to get them to spit out this money.

After all, this little money is drizzle for those people.

The Ming Dynasty is very poor, the poor are the treasury, the Ming Dynasty is very rich, and the rich are the bureaucrats and magnates.

But the crux of the problem is not the matter of thirty treasure ships, it is the imperial court that touches their interests in the West.

I'm afraid that Fujian is going to be stormy.

Yu Qian's attitude and position are clear, those who eat this money must spit it out, if he does not vomit, he, the former secretary of the military department, will cooperate with His Majesty, let the elite of the regimental battalion and the 26th guard of the pro-army go to the coastal areas of Fujian and other places to induce those officials to vomit, and by the way, give a set of exquisite custom bracelets, and even help clean the rusty head.

This is something that the military generals and noble groups like to hear.

If it breaks out, there is no need for Yu Qian, and the generals of the regimental battalion and the 26th guard of the pro-army will ask His Majesty to take the initiative to ask for help.

That's it.

"Prepare a sedan chair."

Go to meet the central ministers who are more deeply involved in Fujian, and convey to them Yu Qian's attitude, and spit it out, as for the imperial court going to the West to affect their interests, how they want to fight back has nothing to do with him, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Hu Hu didn't participate in sharing this cake.
