"Brother Zheng, do you know how many officers and soldiers are in the Beijing camp now?"

Sun Zheng really didn't pay attention to this, so he could only say that he didn't know.

Zhu Houzhao began to take care of himself and make an accusatory statement: "Two hundred and eighty thousand! It is with this figure that the Jingying asks for money and grain from the household department every year. But this year, when people went to check it, they even pulled the idlers on the street to make up the numbers, but they didn't make up half of them, and they didn't even count the 120,000!

This is not the most annoying, the number of people is fake, and I can bear the empty salary. However, with the soldiers and horses of the school, 120,000 horses rushed from the east school field to the west school field, but it was only thirty miles away, and they were still lightly armed, and as a result, only 600 people ran the whole course for a whole day! You say, can you fight a war with such officers and soldiers? ”

Hiss! Sun Zheng gasped, he knew that the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were rotten from top to bottom, but with the greatest imagination, he couldn't imagine that it was rotten to such an extent!

This is completely beyond human comprehension, okay!

Zhu Houzhao said depressedly: "That's it, before I gave the order to rectify, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty fought for the bullet seal, saying that I was reckless in the army, and I worked the people and lost money......

It is clear that the civil and military forces have colluded together, and the interests of too many people are involved.

"What about the border army?" Sun Zheng still has some confidence in the recruits he has trained.

Zhu Houzhao drank all the coffee in the cup, without the grace that the emperor should have, but a little Jianghu atmosphere: "Don't mention it!" The border army was well-disciplined and well-equipped. But it's also fierce to spend money! A slight move is the cost of Jinshan and Yinhai, and those barbarians in Liaodong are still disobedient, and they are troublesome for three days. In the past few years, the three sides and the Hetao have collected so much money and grain every year, and they have all smashed into it, so that they can barely hold on. This is thanks to Master Cheng's willingness to be in the border area, if he returns to Beijing to take up a post, I don't know who to find to replace him. Those two-list jinshi, full of moral articles, will show their original form as soon as they sit in the official position...... Alas, it's hard! ”

Sun Zheng is right to think about it, if the three sides change commanders and have a big appetite in the past, in a few years, not only will there be a financial crisis, but I am afraid that the army will have to mutiny.

"If you want to move the Beijing camp, those nobles have already become one with the civil officials, and they can't do it at all. I want to expand the number of recruits, but I don't have so much money and food......"

"Wait a minute!" Sun Zheng understood a little: "What do you mean, expand the Jinyi Guard, or let me help you pay for food?" ”

Zhu Houzhao's expression immediately turned into pitiful: "Now there is only Jinyiwei, nominally the Son of Heaven's pro-army." You can let me make some articles, Brother Zheng! We are brothers, and now you are my brother-in-law again, kiss and kiss! You're not going to help with that, are you? ”

"I ...... I have saved you the expenses for the canal, exempted you from the military expenses of the nine sides, and repaid you at least 1.5 million silver dollars every year, and you now tell me that you have no money? ”

"Alas! Do you think I don't want to save money? Every time I finally have a surplus, either there is a disaster here or a civil uprising there, and there are officials and clansmen...... What is rich all over the world, I feel that this Ming is getting poorer and poorer. This year has just started spring, and it has already pulled down nearly one million taels of debt. You say, this kind of situation makes me pin my hopes on those nerds who can only do it? Or those nobles who eat with fat brains? ”

"Then you can't point to me and a sheep to pick up the fur back and forth, and the skin is bald!"

"Brother Zheng!" Zhu Houzhao said in frustration: "You say, do I not have the talent to be an emperor, or ......?"

"Not really!" Sun Zheng glanced at him: "This trick again!" Please, change your style. ”

Zhu Houzhao laughed: "Isn't this what you taught me, one trick is fresh, eat all over the world!" Tricks don't matter if they're old or new, they just work. Isn't that Brother Zheng, oh? ”

Sun Zheng was so angry that he shouted loudly: "Lao Gao, Lao Zhang, get here!" ”

Gao Feng and Zhang Yong hid behind the wall to bask in the sun, and hurriedly ran to greet them.

"You two are in charge of the palace, and you regard home as this virtue?"

Gao Fengting compromised: "Master Mingjian! Our emperor is a bodhisattva, and I can't see those ministers complaining......"

Zhang Yong hurriedly pulled him, you don't sprinkle everything, what are you talking about at this time? Seeing Sun Zheng's angry face, the words behind him swallowed back into his stomach.

"Lao Zhao! Go, pull these two goods back and hit twenty boards! ”

The two hurriedly asked the little emperor for help with their eyes, Zhu Houzhao pretended not to see it, the two hung their heads and obediently followed Lao Zhao to the back to receive the punishment.

The master will always be the master, even if he goes out of the town in the South China Sea, he can fight whoever he wants, and the emperor can't keep it!

After playing the 20 big boards of table tennis, Gao Feng and Zhang Yong limped back to reply.

Sun Zheng sneered: "Do you know why you were beaten?" ”

Zhang Yongdao: "The master punishes the slave and the maid, and the slave and maid do not do well......"

"It's good to know!" Sun Zheng slapped the table: "Good man, the dignified Emperor Ming, I was taught to be a bandit by your gang!" It's not enough to grab it once, it's not half a year, and it's time to grab it twice! None of the pirates have gone so far. ”

These two people breathed a sigh of relief, and they dared to accept it for the emperor! Ah, it's worth it.

After sending these two down to apply medicine, Sun Zheng asked the emperor: "Have you calculated, how many people you want to recruit, and how much food is needed?" ”

Zhu Houzhao spread his hands: "According to my meaning, recruit three or five hundred thousand in one go, and remove all the Beijing battalions, regimental battalions, and guards of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Don't say those nonsensical words, is it possible to eat a fat man in one bite? Don't be afraid of indigestion! ”

Zhu Houzhao shook his head: "Then it's no problem, I have no experience in this kind of specific affairs at all......"

Sun Zheng had a black line: "No, you can't even throw this thing at me, right?" Isn't that Jinyi Wei really a lackey of the national teacher? ”

"What does it matter? Which of us brothers is with whom, my dog is your dog......"

"Who's going to help you with a dog!" Sun Zheng was possessed by the actor, looking angry: "Give you 3.65 million silver dollars every year, an average of 10,000 per day, how you like to play!" ”

Zhu Houzhao was also anxious: "What's the use of you giving me silver?" Turned around and was taken away by those people with excuses! I don't care, I don't want money, I want soldiers! Otherwise, you give me a few ships, and I will also go to sea to be a pirate to live happily for a few years, and you will be the emperor first......"

The emperor first? Mr. Yamakusha is not so casual!

Your sister! …… Just watch from the sidelines.

Yue Lingshan, the melon-eating crowd, had already broken his three views, and asked Zhu Xiurong in a low voice: "Your imperial brother...... Is it really His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? ”

"It's like a fake!"

"Why is he like this......"

"Don't you think it's unreliable?"

Yue Lingshan nodded, shook her head again, and then was dazed, not knowing how to express the feeling of idol destruction in her heart.

"Just like Brother Jiangong said, you think he is unreliable because you don't know him. If you know him, you know...... He didn't even have a score! ”

Burst!

Yue Lingshan covered her mouth and snickered, her shoulders shrugged, her whole body trembled, and she endured it extremely hard.

Zhu Houzhao's wish was fulfilled, his heart was gone, and he immediately began to let himself go: "Brother Zheng, you finally came back, did you bring a few more cars with those South China Sea things?" The last time you brought that coconut was quite fresh, well, the pineapple tasted okay...... Those aquatic products are not very good, and I don't know if the dry food has lost its taste, or if the imperial chef can't do it...... Hey, by the way, Brother Zheng, can you find me a few reliable cooks, I suspect these people deliberately make things so unpalatable......"

Sun Zheng smiled: "It's really possible!" Otherwise, if you eat a dish that tastes good, you will order one dish today and one tomorrow, and it will be easy for people to grasp the eating rules. Then the news leaks out, and people want to calculate you, what should I do? ”

Zhu Houzhao smacked his lips: "So I want to ask Brother Zheng for you!" Tell me, ah, the dignified Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, rich from all over the world, sitting on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. As a result, I can't even eat a bite of hot food, what does this emperor still have to taste! ”

Sun Zheng is right to think about it, if he changed before, he really didn't have that certainty, but now that there are four major artificial intelligences in hand, if he can't even take a food entrance link, it will be too bad.

Two robots were created in the space, and when they entered the house, they asked Wiki and Sonny to take care of one each, load various cooking skills and medical skills, and hand them over to Gao Feng and Zhang Yongshun to take back to the palace to take over the imperial chef. The Red Queen and the White Queen have obvious advantages in performing scientific research or military affairs, and are far inferior to Wiki and Sonny in terms of life. Especially Sonny, the original program is a life assistant, which can be regarded as a return to the profession.

It doesn't matter if you can increase your merit or not, and you don't know where to throw away that bit of utilitarianism.

Zhu Houzhao finally escaped from the palace, so he naturally wanted to take the opportunity to have a good time. followed Sun Zheng and his entourage to the capital for three days before he reluctantly returned to the palace to be the co-master of the world.

Fortunately, the impression he gave everyone has always been unreliable, otherwise the emperor would have been in chaos for three days.

In mid-April, Sun Zheng took his two daughters from Beijing to Nanjing by boat to Nanjing, and then by water, passing through Changsha and then to Hengyang.

As early as the beginning of the month, Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze had already taken Shu Qi, Lin Pingzhi and several other young disciples who had not enlisted in the army to Hengshan via Fujian and traveled by land to Hengshan.

In these days, it is a very fatal thing to travel, and it is even more risky to travel long distances. Fortunately, everyone is a master, and there are four seas dart bureau to accompany them, this time even alarmed Lin Zhennan, who is already semi-retired, and personally went out to dot along the way, first, to be able to take the opportunity to contact the head of Yue, and secondly, to be close to his son for a few more days.

In late April, Sun Zheng and his entourage arrived in Hengyang.

After all, there is a world where there are rivers and lakes, and each gate has some industries. Like Hengyang City, the richest man is Liu Zhengfeng and Liu Sanye. Even several county orders near Hengyang are held by Hengshanmen people.

Liu Zhengfeng is the number two person in the Hengshan faction, and he is also one of the few masters in the entire Wuyue Sword Sect.

When I entered Hengyang City, I talked about it everywhere. Among them, the most talked about is that Liu Zhengfeng retired from the rivers and lakes, but he was squeezed out by his senior brother Mr. Mo Da, and it was difficult to reach his ambitions, so he could only withdraw gloomily.

Liu Zhengfeng has a good reputation, and when most people talk about this, they will inevitably have to fight for him a few words of grievances and count a few words of Mr. Moda's injustice.

On the contrary, the streets near Liu's Mansion are peaceful, and there is no resentment in sight, more like something happy to do.

Sun Zheng asked Wiki to increase the monitoring of this area early, and it was no surprise that he found the traces of the group of masters of the Songshan faction.

It seems that no matter what day Liu Zhengfeng chooses to hold this handwashing banquet, this catastrophe will be inevitable.
