The complex thing, to put it simply, is to launch a war against the Tatars, and there are specific paths, generals, soldiers, silver, grain, horses...... Each one is not very rich, but it is basically in preparation.

But if we really want to fight a large-scale war, it must not be less than 20,000 cavalry like the crackdown, but at least 100,000 foot soldiers, and if there are many people, the weight of grain and grass is astronomical, and in order to transport and protect these grains and grass, there must be a special grain transportation team.

In other words, this is to lead an army of 200,000 in a war to destroy the country.

But if you lose, it will be another civil fort shame.

Matters of this magnitude are no longer decided by the Great Pilgrimage, but by the 'Minor Pilgrimage'.

It is relatively easy for the Great Pilgrimage to decide, such as the River Works Meeting, which begins in the afternoon.

When the imperial court didn't have any silver, it saved some money, and even so, it still allocated 300,000 yuan last year.

Now that the imperial court has a large balance, Zhu Houzhao is not a miser emperor, and the purpose of his accumulation of wealth is to allow him to dispose of it, and in the process of distribution, he is more inclined to the common people to improve people's livelihood. So naturally, more silver can be allocated.

Moreover, Shandong has been going to Yinliang for two consecutive years, and the emperors in other places are not willing to let go.

As a result, the main grain-producing areas of the Ming Dynasty, Zhejiang, Nanzhili, Jiangxi and Henan all won this silver tael. The only one who failed was Huguang.

Huguang has a high proportion of farmland, and many princes are sealed there, and it stands to reason that the people there are poorer, and the court should be more inclined, but the problem is ......

These silver taels may not go into anyone's pocket.

I spent the silver, and then I moved myself in the palace blindfolded, but I didn't know that I just fed another group of people.

It's better to put it in the hands of someone you trust.

Zhejiang is Wang Qiong, Nanzhili He Jian, Henan is Peng Ze, Jiangxi is Jiao Fang, these people are not completely famous for being 'incorruptible', but they all have a certain ability to do things.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, Zhu Houzhao didn't think that every cent of the silver taels allocated would be used very well, but in the hands of the people in charge, he could at least get things done, and he wouldn't say that several layers of bureaucrats divided it themselves.

In addition to river engineering, the issue of taking officials set last year is no longer this year, and the issue of the city that never sleeps is gone. Therefore, this court meeting can be postponed a little, and when the issue of river work is successfully concluded, even if the hour is still early, it will not continue today.

To tell the truth, when Zhu Houzhao inherited this world, he was still a country and a people's peace, and there were many capable ministers, and he himself did not mess around, and the use of the palace was not wasted.

On the whole, the common people will not have enough to eat and starve, and they will live on it.

It's just that the case of opening the sea and adding two Huai salt laws made the imperial court rich all of a sudden, which added variables.

If the treasury had remained as usual in previous years, the Cabinet would not have thought of solving more problems with the hungry.

At the end of the afternoon, the sun has not yet set,

Zhu Houzhao hadn't seen his teacher Wang Wei for a long time, so he left him behind. Wang Shouren temporarily fell outside the hall, and Jin Gui was greeting him.

Liu Jin led the two little eunuchs to move the chessboard.

Wang Wei understood, bowed, and sat down.

The emperor ruled on the plate, "I agreed with my husband a few years ago that I want to prosper the Ming Dynasty. Although the work has not yet been completed, but it has finally improved, today Fengtian Temple is resuming the set, what is Mr.'s opinion? ”

Wang Wei's face is wide and large, with deep bags under his eyes, his eyes are sharp, and his whole person is dignified and upright.

"Your Majesty is humble, the treasury has tens of millions of silver, where is there some improvement, I am afraid that it is a grand occasion that has not been seen in the Ming Dynasty for several generations. It's just that His Majesty doesn't want to use the word Shengshi. ”

Zhu Houzhao said as he fell: "I know where this silver came from. And since ancient times, where has there been a prosperous era when people are hungry? ”

If, according to the normal tax procedure, the treasury and the treasury collected so much silver, it can be said to be a prosperous age. Because it shows that the tax system has been optimized, otherwise it is impossible to collect so much and have such a balance.

Now, many of them are from the sea trade. The people of the Ming Dynasty themselves have not changed much.

Wang Wei was quite emotional when he heard this, "It is really a blessing for the community and the people to have a son of heaven like Your Majesty." As for today's affairs, Weichen thought that he should take Yi Bu as an envoy and contact the two departments of Tumut and Ordos, if Dayan Khan really wants to raise troops, they will also ask for help, if not, Da Ming can also slowly recuperate. Your Majesty is now repairing water conservancy, invigorating education, training soldiers and horses, and raising the people, and one more year will give him a better chance of winning. However, if Dayan Khan really raises troops, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to sit idly by! ”

The last sentence is categorical.

Zhu Houzhao slapped the table, "That's what I mean!" Everything is ready, just wait for this shareholder wind, if he moves, I will move! If he doesn't move, the Ming Dynasty will block trade, and salt, iron, cloth, and grain will not trade with him! It's a pity that the people in the court have this big policy and those silvers involved, and each wants to take it into their own pockets and exclude the other. ”

In fact, many wars between Ming and Mongolia also have a certain relationship with the mutual market. For example, the Tatars will ask the Ming Dynasty to exchange markets with him, if they don't exchange markets, there will be a war in a few years, but if they keep trading with each other, when they become stronger, there will still be a war. In the final analysis, it is to fight and fight.

Of course, if you have the ability to react at any time. Now the treasury can't spend all the money at once, otherwise, what if the treasury is running rats when it wants to send troops?

This is also the reason why Zhu Houzhao stopped the morning topic.

Because they are far apart and because they are a little stiff, if they continue to quarrel, they will only make the two sides more radical and stubborn.

"Since Your Majesty means so, it's better to let Weichen mention it."

Zhu Houzhao was slightly moved, this is to rely on both sides, but in fact, in the officialdom, in most cases, it is not that both sides are friendly, but that both sides are offended.

But Wang Wei said it so usually.

"No, I have my own plans." He shook his head, and then asked, "What has Wang Bo'an mainly done recently?" ”

Speaking of this person, Wang Wei laughed, "Your Majesty can be regarded as a discerning person, and he has long known this person's talent. Wang Bo'an acts unconventionally, and he can often get to the root of it. Over the past year, the maritime affairs of the three cities have gradually been entrusted to him. Just as His Majesty said at the beginning, there are many Japanese robbers on the sea, and many of them are pretended to be the people of our Ming Dynasty because of the sea ban and lack of support. But after the opening of the sea, not everyone has reformed, and there are still bandits of all sizes on the sea, so for a period of time, it is mainly Wang Bo'an who cruises by boat. ”

Zhu Houzhao chuckled, the original land bandit suppression experts have now been transferred to the sea.

"How many ships and how many people does he have now?"

"The main thing is the shortage of ships, and in a year there are eight warships, which can carry a total of 1,600 sailors and 3,000 soldiers."

Eight ......

Zhu Houzhao grinned a little, and it was too little. The main thing is that there is no silver, and the battle ship itself only needs a thousand taels of silver, and the problem is to raise so many people.

You can't build so many empty ships and put them there.

"This expenditure, the imperial court will not be provincial, I will not be stingy, eight ships are too few, all of them are enough to form a fleet, this year it will at least triple. As for the ship, you go to negotiate with Mei Kejia and ask him to provide it. ”

Three ...... Wang Wei calculated, this is a fleet of tens of thousands of people.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to bear such a large number of sailors at the time of Chengping?"

"Please sir, believe me. In my heart, in fact, the Ming Dynasty not only has to have a sailor, but also an ocean-going sailor. Now at the beginning of the opening of the sea, this demand is not urgent, but what about ten or eight years later? The scale of silver involved in the Ming Dynasty's maritime trade was often tens of millions, and the merchants had no ability to protect themselves, in case of overseas looting, my people came to ask the court to make decisions for them, how could I make decisions for them? ”

Wang Wei was slightly silent.

"Your Majesty's worries are far away, and the ministers can't do it."

Zhu Houzhao smiled, "No matter how far you go, you need to be assisted by a talent like Mr. Judging from the situation in the second year of Zhengde, the public sentiment in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces has basically stabilized, and I will not let my husband hide there anymore. ”

Wang Wei knew that the emperor was joking, where would he have the mind to hide and relax, so he naturally readily agreed, "I am willing to serve Your Majesty!" ”

"Liu Jin, go to Xuanwang Bo'an."

"Yes."

Regarding Wang Shouren's arrangement, Zhu Houzhao has always been very cautious. While other historical celebrities continue to be promoted, Wang Shouren's official career is actually not prominent, because he is worried about the seedlings being promoted.

Regarding his official experience, Zhu Houzhao is also a treasure. Wang Shouren went to the northwest and fought Tatars with Wang Yue, served as the chief of the military department, suppressed bandits in Fujian, and had experience in commanding naval divisions. It can be said that he is full of experience in military affairs.

But this kind of fierce man from the sky, how could Zhu Houzhao let him only do the work of suppressing bandits?

This book is 1.4 million words, the quality and style are basically stereotyped, and sometimes some people don't like it and it's very helpless, but I've written a few books, and I know that no matter how many people criticize, there are still people who like to read it, and the current follow-up has been very stable, I have to write it for these readers, but also for myself, the first time I wrote history, I was still very serious (serious face).

It's only one hundred and fourteen, and it's still far from the goal!
