Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi, although they also sat in the position of Shangshu, also had their preference for propositions...... But when facing Xu Jingchang, he was really a little weak-hearted, not as tough as Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji.

This can't be helped, after all, before the Yongle Dynasty, they were all Hanlin, and they were reused by Zhu Di and emerged, Xu Jingchang was already a political envoy and a hereditary Dingguo Gong.

Subsequently, several of them even hung the title of the general political envoy and senator, which means that they wanted to receive the money from Xu Jingchang...... With such an identity, even if you want to be tough, you can't do it!

The only slightly more powerful Xie Jin has been driven out of the capital by Xu Jingchang, and to some extent, Xu Jingchang has completely controlled the court.

It's just that Xu Jingchang, who has sat firmly on the throne, has become very humble and obedient, which is different from the past...... He has rarely directly intervened in the government, but asked the ministries to submit it, and the small matters were discussed in the General Political Division, and the major matters were taken to the Wuying Palace.

When Xu Jingchang expressed his views more and more, he asked the people below to put it forward, and then he seconded it and handed it to Zhu Di.

Another point worth mentioning is that Xu Jingchang resigned from the position of Governor of Jinyi Wei and recommended Ji Gang to take over.

It's just that due to Ji Gang's lack of military merits and his noble background, he can't get the identity of the governor from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, so he can only continue to be in charge of Jinyiwei as a commander.

After Xu Jingchang learned about the situation, he proposed like Zhu Di to add a military joint conference in addition to the Wuyingdian meeting.

After some discussion, the Military Affairs Joint Conference was formally established, composed of the general political envoy, the secretary of the military department, the two governors of the five military governors' offices, and the Jinyi Wei commander.

Ji Gang is a mere commander, and being able to be among them is simply the luck of ten lifetimes.

However, it is difficult for a person like him to be really grateful to Dade, but with Xu Jingchang's current strength, it is not comparable to him at all, and it is not okay to be honest.

Therefore, Xu Jingchang is in charge, highlighting a characteristic: steady!

Silent, windless, no waves.

All government affairs, except for those that cannot be pushed, are advancing rapidly.

First of all, there is the problem of annual income, after Xu Jingchang's accounting, the annual income of the Ming Dynasty has exceeded 150 million taels, not including a large number of industrial tax exemptions.

With such an astronomical amount, Zhu Di was very excited and gratified.

He would be happier if he could cut his expenses a little bit.

"This year's budget is 160 million taels, and the overrun is 10 million taels!"

Xu Jingchang immediately shook his head, "Your Majesty, there are definitely not so many ...... According to the minister's figures, the overspending was only 9,988,700 taels! ”

Zhu Di rolled his eyes directly, "You just call it that?" If I don't cut off ninety percent of your people's money, what do you think? ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty, if you feel that you need to reduce the expenditure of Yulu, the minister will order the officials to study it." ”

Zhu Di snorted: "How are they going to study?" It won't be recruiting a group of people first, right? ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Holy Fart!" Zhu Di was so angry that he scolded his mother, he wanted to cut officials, but he needed to increase the number of officials and increase expenses first...... It is not said whether the money can be reduced, but the expenses must be raised first.

Zhu Di was really angry, "Xu Jingchang, you're getting more and more slippery now...... I ask you, there are so many overspending, how do you let me use the army? ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Where is Your Majesty going to use troops?" ”

"I'm going to use troops abroad, can you get any money?"

"This is natural." Xu Jingchang said: "The minister can quickly raise it for His Majesty." ”

Zhu Di said with a smile: "Then you can tell me, I plan to use troops against Annan, what will you do?" ”

"The minister expelled the merchants of Annam, and announced the blockade of the harbor."

Zhu Di said: "Can you get money like this?" ”

"The minister will then relax his tone and announce that the two countries are still negotiating, and the so-called war is just nonsense."

Zhu Di was surprised, "You are going back on your word!" ”

"Your Majesty, the next step is to raise your voice and dispatch troops to attack Annan." Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this time and again, between the pulls, those businessmen in Annan will panic and throw away the industry in their hands. We will collect it at a low price, take advantage of the relaxation, and sell it at a high price, and when the profit is in hand, we can dispatch troops and launch an offensive. The minister conservatively estimated that after some operation, he could contribute at least three million taels of military expenses to His Majesty. If His Majesty wants more, he can confiscate the deposits of the wealthy Annan in Daming, which should also be three or five million taels. ”

What else can Zhu Di say, Xu Jingchang is hopeless, as soon as he makes a move, he is always ghostly and does not take the right path. But it is difficult to deny that Xu Jingchang's ideas often have some effect.

"The matter of foreign military use, wait for the time being, and I will have to weigh it again...... But I heard that Xu Qin is back? ”

Xu Jingchang nodded, "I arrived home yesterday, and he went to sea this time, saying that he had collected a lot of information and was translating books, planning to introduce the customs and customs of the Japanese Kingdom to the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhu Di sighed: "This Tanhualang, it's really not easy. Tomorrow I and the queen will go to the Xu Mansion, you can arrange it, the royal family and the people of the Xu family will gather together, and no one will be left behind. ”

This is a big party between the two families!

Xu Jingchang was not easy to slack off, and sure enough, on the second day, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, the grandson Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanji's second brother Zhu Zhanjun, and the third brother Zhu Zhanji all came.

The three little pigs of the new generation have gathered.

And Zhu Gaoxu's side also came, including Zhu Gaoxu's son Zhu Zhanyan.

The third child, Zhu Gaosui, also came with his son Zhu Zhankuo.

This group of pigs was all gathered, Xu Qin, as half of the master, did not dare to slack off, and his son Xu Xianzong also came over neatly dressed.

A group of older children and younger children, Xu Xianzhong is the youngest one, but this kid is not afraid and is still a self-acquaintance.

He ran to Zhu Zhanji's side first, looked at Zhu Zhanjun and Zhu Zhandong, and compared them to each other, both of whom were shorter than him.

Then he straightened up and said loudly: "Call brother." ”

The two little ones didn't know, but Zhu Zhanji stopped him, "That third brother is also two months older than you!" ”

Xu Xianzhong was stunned for a moment, was he?

He shook his head violently, "I don't believe it, you see that they are so short, they are definitely not as big as me, why don't they call me brother?" ”

Zhu Zhanji smiled helplessly, "If you have the ability to let the second and third children call you brother, I won't stop you." ”

When Xu Xianzhong heard this, he suddenly became interested, as soon as he stretched out his hand, grabbed Zhu Zhanjun and Zhu Zhandong, and ran to the backyard, his strength was quite strong, and the two were really pulled over.

Zhu Zhanji didn't feel anything, so he didn't follow along.

But soon the child's cry was heard, and Zhu Zhanji hurriedly chased after him. When he arrived, he found the two brothers hiding in the corner, shivering.

And Xu Xianzhong pinched the neck of a big goose with one hand, and said triumphantly: "How is it?" Hurry up and call my brother. Call my brother and I'll pinch these two geese to death. ”

Zhu Zhanjun and Zhu Zhanjun secretly looked at the fierce beast that was chasing them just now, and it was dying in Xu Xianzhong's hands at this time.

He's amazing!

"Big brother!"

The two children really screamed.

Xu Xianzhong's heart was full of joy, and sure enough, he threw the goose in his left hand to the ground, waved his hand again, and the one in his right hand did not run.

"Come, I'll invite you two little brothers to eat goose meat."

These two boys really obediently ran to Xu Xianzhong's side, like two loyal little brothers.

Zhu Zhanji looked at his two younger brothers, their heads were big.

"It's messy, it's messy! You are his brother, you can't break the rules, be careful that I beat you! ”

As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father, Zhu Zhanji wants to give the two younger brothers a little color, but Xu Xianzhong stretched out his hand and protected the two younger brothers.

"What are you doing? Want to bully people? I'm not afraid of you! ”

Saying that, Xu Xianzhong raised his small fist and shook it at Zhu Zhanji. If you don't accept it, compare it with me.

Zhu Zhanji is really speechless, he is ten years old, how can he still act like a child.

Forget it, let them toss.

After all, so many adults are here, and this little thing can't make a bigger move...... Zhu Zhanji didn't care, but Xu Xianzhong obviously didn't think so.

He defeated Zhu Zhanji!

When he turned around, he muttered to the two "little brothers", and the two little brothers were also very cooperative, and they chatted for a while, and then decided to act.

Xu Xianzhong found three wooden sticks, one for each person, and then they took action.

Zhu Gaoxu's Zhu Zhanyan heard the sound of a gnast in the corner, so he chased after him, looked around, and found nothing, and when he turned his head, he happened to see three little cubs with their hands behind their backs, smiling at him.

Xu Xianzhong puffed out his cheeks and asked, "You bullied them?" ”

Zhu Zhanyan doesn't care about Xu Xianzhong at all, this kid is half a head shorter than him!

"Bullying is bullying, what are you, dare to care about me?"

The arrogance of this kid made Xu Xianzhong furious, and his hand turned from his back to the front, and a one-foot-long wooden stick was raised impressively.

"Hit!"

The two little brothers are well-behaved, and they really listen to him, and the three little cubs get on together, raise their sticks and pump hard.

Zhu Zhan is a little older, and he has also inherited his father's strength and strength, and he will not suffer a loss if he fights two, but this time he faced three, and he still held the murder weapon.

Now I suffered.

Not on guard, he was hit several times, and when he was dodging, Xu Xianzhong saw the opportunity and came to his head...... It hurt so much that Zhu Zhanyan sat on the ground, crying, and the three boys he saw came up again, he got up from the ground, turned around and ran.

Xu Xianzhong shouted, really like a general, rushing to the front.

Zhu Zhanjun and Zhu Zhandong didn't know where they got their courage, they were more excited than Xu Xianzhong, and they also caught up...... The four little cubs actually made a lot of trouble.

"Dad, they bullied me and beat me!"

Zhu Zhanyan crashed into Zhu Gaoxu's arms, crying and wiping away tears.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the three cubs who were chasing, looked down at his son again, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he lifted Zhu Zhanyan up and threw it directly to Xu Xianzhong and them.

"Something that has no interest deserves to be beaten."

Zhu Zhanyan is stupid, you are my father!

But Xu Xianzhong tilted his head and looked at it, and actually leaned over and said, "Call the big brother, call the big brother, I won't beat you." ”
