Hang Min analyzed it like this, and the Jiuqing, including Yu Qian, realized that even if the City That Never Sleeps was just a face project, it was also a face project with huge benefits for the Ming Dynasty.

He Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, added: "In fact, earlier, even if it was a princeling, many people were not optimistic about His Majesty Emperor Guang'an today, thinking that he was fooling around, especially taking the initiative to provoke war several times, and it was a reckless move, but a certain person thought that the so-called ruthless military force of His Majesty Emperor Guang'an in the mouth of outsiders was unreasonable, as for the reason...... Chen Shangshu, do you know best? ”

Chen Xun is serving wine with dried tofu.

Very good.

But Chen Xun felt that it was almost meaningful.

This year, His Majesty's overseas trading fleet brought back a new crop from the South Seas, and the Emperor had ordered the Ministry of Agriculture to promote the planting on a large scale, and after His Majesty knew about this crop, he unprecedentedly disregarded the overall situation of crop promotion and asked for dozens of catties of seeds from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Once His Majesty asked Chen Xun for money, befriended him, fried a plate with the seeds of this new crop, sprinkled with salt and peppercorns, and then drunk Chen Xun, not because the wine was good, but because the appetizer called peanuts was too good.

In the words of His Majesty Emperor Guang'an, peanuts are drunk, and the more you drink, the more you have.

Short drinking mouth.

On that occasion, His Majesty did pry away millions of taels from the treasury of the Ministry of Households, not because of the expenses that His Majesty enjoyed, but for the various projects of the Academy of Engineering.

Otherwise, the steam engine and chemical industry could have achieved results so quickly?

It's all money.

Of course, not all projects can be fruitful by throwing money into them, for example, His Majesty set up a physics group and a mathematics group to specialize in studying various common phenomena in order to come up with some new theoretical laws, but as a result, millions of taels of silver were thrown in, and none of them came out.

Hearing being named by Hang Min, Chen Xun immediately said: "Indeed, the war that His Majesty has launched at present, the biggest battle loss is the current war in the Indochina Peninsula, and the battle loss is very large, about more than 10,000." ”

The crowd was speechless.

When did our high-ranking officials speak so hypocritically.

More than 10,000 battle losses are also called large war losses?

Isn't the battle damage of the civil fort heavenly?

Saying......

The change of the civil fort has indeed exhausted the foundation accumulated by our Ming dynasty, and fortunately, Emperor Jingtai and Yu Shaobao have saved the mountains and rivers.

Yu Qian also smiled: "To be honest, a certain familiar reader of group books, but throughout the ancient and modern times, the strength of any dynasty, even if it was the Han and Tang dynasties fighting the Huns, the war damage is not only this, from this point of view, our Ming can have the current scenery, can pacify the border without costing the people and money, Your Majesty should be the first meritorious person." ”

Chen Xun said with a smile: "Reform is a gift, and to give performance bonuses to officials in the Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty is also the first person to make meritorious achievements!" ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but praise it.

Your Majesty is good.

Don't underestimate this initiative.

On the surface, it is only to extend the annual gift to all officials in the country, but in fact, His Majesty's move has promoted the work attitude of the officials throughout the country, and the dedication of local officials is the gospel of the people.

The current national peace and security of the Ming Dynasty has contributed greatly to the reform of the year.

Speaking of which......

Lu Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "The reform of the year has been in the face of the performance of officials across the country, and the ancestral system of officials above the fourth grade has been liberalized to do business, and overseas trade has been vigorously promoted, and the development of industry and commerce has been encouraged, so that the interests and income of the local magnates, wealthy people, and landlord class have been transferred from the land to all walks of life. ”

The ministers were silent.

All of you here, with many years of success, even if you are not from the local sovereign group, you are now a local sovereign, even if it is Yu Shaobao, the Yu clan in Yujiadai, Zhejiang, his hometown, is also a local clan.

Once Your Majesty moves the issue of land annexation, it will inevitably conflict with everyone's interests.

Baekyu and Hang Min glanced at each other.

The two were secretly frightened.

I thought that it was just because of the appearance of the city that never sleeps, everyone was happy and proud, and came to find Yu Shaobao for an ordinary party to have a small drink together, but I never thought that Lu Yu would have such a plan.

Lu Yu's words are a bit of a fan.

Yu Shaobao coughed, "It's not early, Lu Shangshu should go back and rest early, he was delayed in business, after all, all countries have come to the court recently, and the affairs of the Ministry of Rites are busy, and a carelessness will damage the image of my Ming Dynasty." ”

How smart Yu Qian is.

I didn't want to discuss this matter at all, and I didn't give Lu Yu a chance to continue to fan the flames first.

Hang Min smiled, "Don't worry, don't worry, the Ministry of Rites will only be busy for a few days, and the Ministry of Rites is fully staffed, and Lu Shangshu has excellent ability to deal with it." ”

Lu Yu smiled and didn't speak.

Bai Gui also said: "Speaking of land annexation, I think this matter is imperative, you are all well-educated people, know that there are too many dynasties in history from prosperity to decline are land annexation serious people's livelihood, resulting in local riots, a dynasty is consumed and died, and the real death of the great unified dynasty of foreign races is a great Song Dynasty, and the death of the Great Song Dynasty actually has internal weakening reasons, so the lessons from the past must be vigilant!" ”

Lu Yu sighed, "What Bai Shangshu said is reasonable, but the problem is that to move the land annexation issue now is tantamount to waving a butcher's knife at the landlords of the entire map of the Ming Dynasty, and these landlord groups who control the place will willingly let His Majesty cut the meat, and then they will be starved to death?" No, I'm afraid there will be countless riots by then. ”

Chen Xun, He Jian, Lin Cong, Li Shi, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the cabinet were all silent.

They only found out they had been fooled.

It's not going to taste good tonight.

If you don't pay attention, it's a guillotine for your career.

Regarding the land annexation, the three of them can't say that they oppose or support it, it still depends on the specific situation at that time, but there is one thing to say, the current development of the Ming Dynasty, everyone is still willing to believe in His Majesty Emperor Guang'an.

So when that day comes, there's a good chance they'll still provide limited support.

Bai Gui said slowly: "Don't you see, with the development of the current national situation, industry and commerce are booming, and the scale of overseas trade is still expanding, the way to make money is not limited to land, even if the land reform in the future, with the landlord group's many years of heritage, even if they do not have a cent of land in their hands, they can also use the resources in their hands to quickly change the industry, and they can still adapt to the development and find a suitable industry to make a lot of money." ”

Hang Min nodded, "I think so." ”

Dong Fang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, suddenly said: "Of course Bai Shangshu and Hang Shangshu will think so. ”

Just this sentence woke everyone up.

Feelings: These two are waiting here for Baekyu and Hang Min.

From the very beginning, Lu Yu and Dong Fang's goal was Bai Gui and Hang Min, and they must come to Shaobao's mansion, but with the help of Yu Qian's prestige, Bai Gui and Hang Min did not dare to lift the table!

Hang Min and Baekyu support land reform because they have already worked with His Majesty to start the Permanent Bicycle Company and the Hang Construction Group, both industries waiting to pick up money from the land.

The meaning of Lu Yu and Dong Fang is very clear.

They can support His Majesty's land reform.

But I hope that Hang Min and Baekyu will convey their wishes, and they need His Majesty's help to establish a channel for the family behind them to make money.

In other words, an exchange of interests.

This is the awakening of capital's thirst for profit!
