0697 Emperor Wanli's silver mountain

He said that he listened to it here, because he was a dignified elder, and it was really embarrassing to openly say that the looting was a shame! But everyone understood what it meant, and laughed.

But Zhang Siwei's hometown is Shanxi, so he naturally understands the situation at the border pass. He smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you know the situation at the border gate? It's hard to hold the existing line of defense! Those *** often go to the border to fight the grass valley, and they are annoyed!"

Shen Shixing said with a look of fascination: "If one day it is our Ming army that goes to fight Grass Valley, how good it would be!"

Zhang Siwei hurriedly said, "Don't do it, I can't do such a thing as a provocation! And when this word spreads, it is inevitable that some people will follow Wu Ninghou's example, so don't add to the chaos anymore!"

When everyone heard him say this, they all smiled slightly, but they were speechless. But the people here are all extremely shrewd people, who don't know that the Zhang family and Guanwai are doing business! If something happens on the frontier, the biggest loss is the caravan outside the Zhangjia Plug! But maybe even if there is a warning signal, business may be able to do the same!.

However, Zhang Juzheng's entire energy at this time was focused on reform, and he didn't want to be distracted by additional things, so he nodded and agreed, "That's true! At this time, it is indeed difficult for the frontier to have warning signs! When the country has enough money and food in the future, it is also right to give the border army more money and goods, so that they can deal with it."

Hearing this, Zhang Siwei nodded again and again and said, "That's right! But when it comes to this, we should strictly check the food and salary sent to the border army! The old man felt that one would reduce the amount of food and salary delivered each time and send it several times, so as not to let the border army accumulate food and salary. Save in case any of the generals who were stimulated by Wu Ninghou made a mistake and sent troops north!"

When it comes to this issue, everyone has a common language, and they all feel that they should strengthen the control over the military horses at the border passes, so as not to be confused and affect the overall situation of the imperial court.

But these people didn't want to think about it, if they did, wouldn't it give the people who transported the food and wages more opportunities to get their hands on it? According to the current rules, it has already made the soldiers at the border miserable, if they really do what they think, I am afraid that the soldiers will not be miserable!

But in the eyes of the elders. The soldiers can still endure a little hardship "slightly"! After all, compared to the overall situation, this bit of suffering is nothing! What's more, the warriors are vulgar and unliterate, if they are not strictly controlled, God knows what kind of mess they will cause!

If Liu Haojia was here, he would probably be stunned***? Thinking about it, he didn't know that his actions at sea actually triggered changes in the border gates, which was also something he didn't expect!

As for the palace at this time, there was already a chorus of joy, because Emperor Wanli was personally leading the palace people to build a silver mountain!

Unlike other nobles, there are many places in the inner treasury where silver is needed. Therefore, every time the inner treasury gets the silver, half of it is exchanged for the silver bills of Liansheng Bank, and half of it is used in cash. And today, Zhang Jia received all the silver and transported it back to the palace as soon as he received it, he knew that this was the most pleasing to Emperor Wanli!

Sure enough, Emperor Wanli saw the cart full of silver, and his smiling eyes were gone! And when he heard that Liu Haojia had built a silver mountain, he immediately became interested! After he asked about the shape of the silver mountain, he immediately began to build the silver mountain in his dormitory!

However, his silver is much less than that of Liu Haojia, and the scale of this silver mountain is naturally much shorter! Especially against the backdrop of the tall palace, it looks even more dwarf. But it's already a huge pleasure for Emperor Wanli!

After piling up the silver mountain, Emperor Wanli wiped the sweat on his forehead and circled around to appreciate his achievements. After turning around a few times, he threw away the towel in his hand and said, "Wu Ninghou is really a good courtier! You can fight, you can make money, and you can come up with such a novel and interesting way to play! Well, next time he wants to fight someone, he must allocate more money to him!"

At this time, Zhang Jia also seized the time to re-learn Liu Haojia's words calling on the nobles to unite around Emperor Wanli, and he was even more satisfied and smiling!

At this moment, someone outside the palace reported that Miss Zijuan had arrived. Emperor Wanli knew that Empress Dowager Li had sent someone to inquire about her leisure at this time, and hurriedly said, "Call in!"

He was so excited just to see Zijuan's expression when she saw Yinshan. And just as he expected, Zijuan people clearly saw her feet when they came in

A soft! If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have really fallen to the ground!

Seeing Zijuan like this, Emperor Wanli couldn't help laughing! Zijuan stood firm and gave a salute to Emperor Wanli with a red face. Emperor Wanli waved her hand to get her up and said at the same time, "Get up, what did the Queen Mother call you to do?"

Zijuan pressed her beating heart with her hand and said, "Niangniang heard that Banzai Ye is building a silver mountain here, so let the slave maid come to see what the situation is?"

Emperor Wanli waved his hand proudly and said, "How is it? It's made by my own hands!"

Zijuan said convincingly, "It's really shocking! The slave never thought that the silver could be piled up like this!"

But at this time, Zijuan suddenly thought in her heart, I heard that the silver brought into the palace was only a small part of the silver mountain built by Wu Ninghou, but the silver mountain in front of her was shocking enough, if it was a complete silver mountain, what would it look like?

However, Zijuan has been in the palace for many years, and she has already developed the ability to use two minds, while complimenting Emperor Wanli, she ponders her thoughts in her heart. It wasn't until Emperor Wanli was made happy that she said goodbye to Emperor Wanli and returned to Empress Dowager Li's bedroom.

After entering the dormitory, she relaxed directly, described the situation at that time in a trance, and finally said: "It is said that the silver of the Long Live Lord's dormitory is only a part of the silver mountain in Wu Ninghou, so the slave maid can't even think of how big the silver mountain is now!"

Empress Dowager Li laughed twice and said, "This little monkey can make a fuss, and even the tired Lord Banzai is fooling around with him! Spread the word to the people below to stop talking nonsense."

Zijuan naturally agreed to come down and then ordered, but she clearly heard the satisfaction in Empress Dowager Li's heart, and she understood that the most satisfactory thing about Empress Dowager Li for Wu Ninghou was not these silvers, but called on the nobles to unite around Emperor Wanli! She knew that these words had fallen on Empress Dowager Li's heart, but she was afraid that this Wu Ninghou would be even more favored in the future!

Such a big thing will definitely alarm Hu Zhiyu and others, so he specially asked Zhang Yuanfeng to meet. After the two exchanged pleasantries, Hu Zhiyu shook his sleeves and said, "Brother Zhang Xian, what do you think of Wu Ninghou's expedition to the Wa Kingdom?"
