In the evening of the same day, Zhang Yun came to Wanli's dormitory. explained the seriousness of the situation to Feng Bao, and then he went inside to report Wanli.

After a while, a sluggish voice came from inside: "Let him in." ”

Zhang Yun smiled at Feng Bao and then walked in. When he went in, Wanli sat up strongly, looking like his body had been hollowed out. Zhang Yun secretly said that it was not good, and he made up his mind that he must let Wanli restrain him.

Zhang Yun arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the Japanese are now invading our Ming vassal country, Goryeo." ”

Wanli said lazily: "Oh, that's it, I asked the military department to draw up a compromise, and you can bring someone to quell the rebellion for me." ”

"Your Majesty, it's not a minister's excuse. I've heard from my subordinates that there are a lot of pirates.

Besides, now that there are many wars, the treasury is estimated to be a little unbearable. ”

Wanli said with a straight face: "Then what should I do?" ”

Seeing the effect, Zhang Yun first cleared his throat, and then immediately said his purpose: "......The emperor should take care of his body now, your dragon body is the most important ......"

In the end, Zhang Yun also walked to Wanli's side and warned in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "Your Majesty, if you squander too much when you are young. When you are a little older, you will have a weak heart and a lack of strength. ”

Wanli looked at Zhang Yun with a shocked expression: "Really?!" ”

Zhang Yundao: "The minister doesn't dare to deceive the emperor, and besides, the emperor has been a little late... Some... Beyond one's power. ”

When Wanli heard this, his face immediately turned crimson, and then he nodded at Zhang Yun. Lately, he's feeling a little powerless about it, and he's always running out of energy.

"Is it too late for me to recuperate now?"

Seeing his anxious appearance, Zhang Yun smiled and said with relief: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as you restrain yourself." Let the doctor recuperate for you, and it will definitely have no effect in the future. ”

Wanli nodded reassuringly.

Early the next morning, the news of the Japanese invaders entered the capital from Liaodong, and then spread from the capital everywhere, and the whole country was immediately shocked.

However, the treasury was about to be emptied, and only 2 million taels of silver remained. It was Wanli's inner treasury, and I didn't know how many taels of silver had been deposited, so the cabinet ministers all set their eyes on it.

How could Wanli agree, when he flew to Nanjing City, he was immediately rejected by Wanli.

Zhang Yun pondered hard about how to make up this military expenditure. This requires at least more than 100,000 troops, and it is not a war that can be ended in a few months.

Zhang Yun originally wanted to "let the bullets fly again." "But to raise such a large amount, I am afraid that donations alone will not be enough.

"Why don't you sell the land?" Zhang Yun set his sights on Qingdao. "No, no, the sale of land now will definitely be robbed."

"There it is!" Zhang Yun shouted.

Xu Xi looked at her husband talking nonsense on the side, what made the bullets fly, and said with a smile: "What do you have?" Isn't there that fox girl again? ”

Zhang Yun was in a good mood at this time, so he picked up Xu Xi and kissed him.

"I said I had an idea."

Subsequently, while Xu Xi was still in a daze, he directly let go of Xu Xi and ran to Wanli's dormitory.

As soon as he saw Wanli, Zhang Yun said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the minister knows how to raise military expenses. ”

Wanli came interested: "Oh? Tell me about it. ”

"The minister plans to issue treasury bonds for the people of the whole country to buy, promising to give them interest after two years."

Wanli muttered in a low voice: "National debt? ”

"Will anyone buy this?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, there are a lot of people who buy it."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yun said his plan: "The minister is going to mortgage the remaining real estate in Qingdao, and then go to issue treasury bonds to the whole country, promising them three cents of interest per year." ”

"If the imperial court can't pay it back as scheduled, it will use the land in Qingdao to compensate them."

Wanli pondered, looked up and asked, "Then how many taels of silver are you going to collect?" ”

"It should be no problem to make him three million taels."

Wanli exclaimed: "How is this possible, the income of the treasury is only 4 million taels a year." ”

"Your Majesty, don't underestimate these businessmen. In this Nanjing city alone, there are not a few with assets of more than 100,000 taels, and there are a lot of them in the entire Ming Dynasty. ”

Wanli gritted his teeth and said, "However, this loan still has to be repaid." ”

Zhang Yun smiled: "When we win the battle, we will let the Japanese invaders cut the land for us and pay compensation as our military expenses." ”

"Wajima is known as the island of silver, and this bit of silver should still be available."

"Well, you'll be in charge of that. Let the cabinet draw up a charter, and let Li Rusong of Liaodong prepare soldiers and horses first. ”

Zhang Yun smiled and bowed his hand, and then withdrew. Zhang Yun took Xu Xi on the journey back to Qingdao on the same day. After arriving in Qingdao, he immediately asked people to go to all parts of the country to release the news.

"The imperial court is willing to use Qingdao's land as a mortgage to raise military funds from the whole country, and also promised to give three cents of interest every year."

When the wealthy businessmen from all over the world heard this, there was still such a good thing? They all took the silver taels and rushed to Qingdao non-stop.

With the passage of time, more and more wealthy businessmen from all over Qingdao filled the hotels in Qingdao, and some even lived in Laizhou City.

After another seven days, Zhang Yun saw that the time was about the same, so he personally presided over the sale at the auction venue.

I saw Zhang Yun standing on the stage wearing a python robe, and the audience was crowded with rich businessmen with excited faces.

Seeing that the atmosphere was similar, Zhang Yun motioned for everyone in the audience to be quiet, and then said aloud:

"Ladies and gentlemen, you dare to offend my great authority. I, the Ming Dynasty with armor, are already at the border, ready to go.

As the saying goes: "Before the three armies move, the grain and grass go first"

Now, the imperial court can't come up with so much money, so it can only make this decision, and I hope you will support it. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience immediately shouted excitedly.

"What did Changning Hou say, it's too late for us to be grateful."

"yes, yes, there's such a good thing."

"Let's get started, stop the ink, Marquis Changning."

“......”

Zhang Yun looked at the excited expressions of everyone in the audience, and said with a smile: "10 taels is one share, and each person is limited to buying shares." ”

After that, Zhang Yun instructed the scribes under the tent to take out the big seal of the imperial court, write the voucher, and then ask everyone to hand over the silver taels, and then handed them the voucher.

Suddenly, the entire lobby became lively.

Zhang Yun commanded Shen Lian, and then returned to his residence to rest.

As soon as he returned to his residence, Zhang Yun said to Xu Xi weakly: "Ah! I'm tired, lady, you can help me pinch my shoulders. ”

Xu Xi chuckled, then walked behind him, and a pair of jade hands kneaded on Zhang Yun's shoulders. Zhang Yun let out a low moan from time to time.

After a long time, Zhang Yun grabbed Xu Xi's jade hand, turned around and said to him affectionately: "When this matter is done, I will accompany you, and I won't go." ”

Xu Xi blushed and scolded with a smile: "You didn't say that that time, every time you don't stay for half a year, you have to go out again, I know you definitely can't stay." ”

Zhang Yun smiled, he still has too many things to do, the tax law of the Ming Dynasty, the bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty, the status of the Ming military households, and the wealth of the sea......

"Then I promise you, twenty years at most. When Zhu'er and Liang'er grow up, I will take you and Ziyi to find a good place and live a life of seclusion in the mountains and forests. ”

Xu Xi sat on Zhang Yun's lap and replied with a sigh of relief: "At that time, I was all old and yellow, you won't dislike me and Ziyi." ”

Zhang Yunzheng said: "No! You will always be my wife. ”

After Xu Xi heard this, he kissed Zhang Yun directly on the lips.

......

In Jingzhou, thousands of miles away, a tall and thin old man in a cyan robe was sitting in the lobby, listening to the report of his subordinates.

"Master, the Japanese invaded my Ming Dynasty's vassal country, and now I'm afraid that my Ming Dynasty will start another war."

The old man frowned, and then got up: "That's it, that's it, I should go back too." ”

The servant exclaimed, "Master, you want to return to the court?" ”

The old man smiled helplessly: In the past two years, I have also seen a lot of disadvantages of the New Deal, and I just took advantage of this invasion of the Japanese to return to the court. "The old man is none other than Zhang Juzheng, who is about to end his worries.

Although he is not in the temple, he still cares about the affairs of the court. Previously, he heard that Zhang Yun had captured the Mongolian Great Khan in one fell swoop, and he was so excited that he danced. and shouted that Zhang Yun is Huo Quai, who is alive.

Three years ago, Zhang Yun was still a down-and-out talent, and he came to the capital from his hometown to join him. Unexpectedly, in less than three years, he became the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty and the well-known Marquis of Changning.

I heard that Qingdao alone can provide Daming with more than seven or eight hundred thousand silver taels every year. However, he also heard that most of the silver had gone into the emperor's inner treasury.

As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but think of Wanli's appearance, in his eyes, Wanli would always be a child who didn't grow up. What is the treasury and the treasury, do you still need to divide it so clearly?

When he goes back, he must ask Wanli to shake out the money in the inner treasury.

That night, Zhang Juzheng wrote a letter and handed it directly to Nanjing. A few days later, when Wanli received the fold, he almost lost his grip and fell to the ground.

Mr. Zhang is coming back, his good days are over, and he has to go back to being managed by Mr. Zhang, by Feng Daban, and by his own mother.

and his two charming concubines, if Mr. Zhang knows. Wanli couldn't help but shudder when he thought of it.

When he was fifteen years old, he had a relationship with a palace maid and was known to his mother. The queen mother grabbed him and went to see Mr. Zhang, threatening to abolish himself.

This frightened him at the time, and he hurriedly cried and pleaded, plus Zhang Juzheng relieved himself, so he was not abolished.

Wanli, the child, was scared by Zhang Juzheng when he was a child, and he was scared out of the shadows. However, it may be better now, and Zhang Yun should help him.

As soon as he thought of this, Wanli was in a much better mood.
