Prince of Chaos

Chapter 460 The boat of friendship is overturned

Zhu Changluo smiled.

Then, Zhu Changluo said: "There is only one way to solve the current problem. Er Qing only needs to support it with all his strength."

Shen Sixiao and Li Chengliang said: "I will definitely help you with all your strength."

Zhu Changluo said: "Very good!"

Then Zhu Changluo expressed his thoughts.

Zhu Changluo said: "The Ministry of Industry's errands are complicated. For the Ministry of Industry, making such a thing is a bit of a fuss. Therefore, Gu decided to dismantle the Manufacturing Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and set up an independent manufacturing office. Refer to the cement industrial park model. What does Shen Qing think?"

When Shen Sixiao was asked by Zhu Changluo, he froze for a moment.

This seems to be wrong, the cement industrial park and the Bingjia Production Bureau are completely different.

Bingjia Manufacturing Bureau is a cornucopia, an exclusive business with a monopoly nature.

If it is pushed out, isn't that just pushing the silver out?
Shen Sixiao replied: "The minister thinks that this matter should be discussed in the long run. The manufacture of military armor is an important matter for the military and the country. If the people are allowed to intervene, the soldiers will flow to the people privately, which may cause turmoil."

Zhu Changluo said: "Shen Qing's words are not without reason."

Then, Zhu Changluo asked Li Chengliang, "What does Li Qing think?"

When Li Chengliang was asked this question, his eyes lit up, the opportunity to show his loyalty came!

He immediately said: "I think this is feasible."

After hearing Li Chengliang's words, Shen Sixiao's eyes rolled away, his eyes were full of disdain, flattering the vulgar warrior who wanted to!
Zhu Changluo said: "Tell me your reason."

Li Chengliang felt the look in Shen Sixiao's eyes, but facing Zhu Changluo's question, as a wise man who cherishes his official life, Li Chengliang immediately gave a reason.

Li Chengliang said: "It is not difficult to make a soldier armor. In the pre-Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties, there were folk armors that were supplied to the imperial court as a kind of tax. At the beginning of the founding of this dynasty, Emperor Taizu was considerate of the hardships of the people's life, so , to abolish this law, and cultivate the people. Today, the world is rich and the people live in peace. If we can use this method to raise soldiers, we can not only save a lot of money for the court, but also make the Ming Dynasty have enough soldiers, so there will be no worries.”

Zhu Changluo listened to Li Chenglong's words, he waved his hand, and said: "Li Qing's words are good. But I don't want to reward the people with this. The country has been in peace for more than two hundred years, and the people have lived in peace. our joint efforts.”

"Although I'm not talented, I don't want to work hard for the people. Moreover, if the people are asked to make soldiers, the quality and size of the soldiers will be uneven. What's more, the officials who receive the armor may use it to hurt the people." An act of detriment to the people."

"Therefore, Gu intends to hand over the production of military armor to major garment manufacturers in Beijing. They will bid for the production, and the court will choose the best one to buy. The winning bidder must make the corresponding military uniform and armor according to the imperial court's requirements, and at the same time pay the corresponding fee. Munitions tax."

After Shen Sixiao heard Zhu Changluo's words, he immediately said: "Your Highness, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. If a big family is allowed to make uniforms for the army, and if they have different ambitions, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Zhu Changluo said: "So, Gu also said before that this matter needs to be controlled by the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Industry can cooperate with large garment manufacturers to set up a new production organization to manage and operate, so as to prevent the outflow of soldiers from the source."

Shen Sixiao could tell that the Crown Prince was determined to split part of the power and responsibility of the Ministry of Industry.Coupled with Li Chengliang's general flattery, Shen Sixiao couldn't keep this part of the Ministry of Industry's interests.

So, Shen Sixiao replied: "I obey the order."

Zhu Changluo said with a satisfied smile: "Shen Qing understands righteousness deeply, and I am very pleased."

Then Zhu Changluo looked at Li Chengliang and said, "The Military Weapons Bureau of the Ministry of War will also be dismantled."

After hearing Zhu Changluo's words, Li Chengliang's eyes widened.

This is not a small matter of military uniforms.This is a lethal weapon that can involve ordnance and firearms. How can it be dismantled like the Bingjia Manufacturing Bureau of the Ministry of Industry?

Li Chengliang immediately said: "Your Highness, it cannot be dismantled. The important weapon of this country must be held in the hands of the imperial court."

Zhu Changluo said: "Gu knows, let Gu finish first."

"The Weapons Bureau was dismantled, and the Military Armor Manufacturing Bureau of the Ministry of Industry was dismantled. After the Military Weapons Bureau was dismantled, it will be an independent government-run organization. The responsibility of this organization is to learn from the old and absorb the new under the new rules, and replace the old firearms manufacturing. At the same time, Gu will also dismantle the military bureau in the palace, and then set up a brand new firearms manufacturing bureau, so that the three will adopt a competitive model.

"Which one is good enough, the Ministry of War will purchase the firearms of that company. Similarly, if the production level is low, it will not get orders from the Ministry of War. This is done only for Daming Huoqi to improve in the competition. Also, to obtain firearms The production bureau of the order should also pay the corresponding military supply tax."

After Shen Sixiao heard this, he was more active than Li Chengliang. He immediately said: "Your Highness can illuminate thousands of miles, and I admire you so much! This method not only allows the Ministry of War to have more choices, but also keeps Daming Firearms in a competitive posture at all times. , to make it continue to improve. I support His Highness's proposal."

Li Chengliang's face turned dark. This is the only private land for the Ministry of War to make money.

If this piece is dismantled, the Ministry of War will spend money depending on the face of the Ministry of Households.

However, officials of the Ming Dynasty have a deep understanding of the financial situation of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Take Li Chengliang as an example, since he took office as Minister of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households has owed him two months' salary.

How could such a yamen give him money to buy firearms?

"Your Highness, this matter is still inappropriate. I am worried that the money from the household department will not be allocated in time, which will affect His Highness' plans."

Li Chengliang expressed his worries again.

Zhu Changluo said: "Li Qing doesn't have to worry. I just said that the issuance of national bonds is a special fund, which is used to purchase military clothing, armor, ordnance and firearms. Don't worry about money. All right."

Meditate on filial piety: "Your Highness is considerate, and I support His Highness's decision."

Li Chengliang was helpless, and he could tell that the Military Weapons Bureau of the Ministry of War might also be out of control this time.

Now, when Li Chengliang looked at Shen Sixiao, he didn't like it no matter how he looked at it. This scholar is really full of bad taste. Why does he like to do such things that hurt others and benefit himself?
Zhu Changluo looked at the reactions of Shen Sixiao and Li Chengliang, all of which were within his expectations, and he just wanted to use this mentality of dismantling each other to achieve his partial reforms.

Otherwise, if you pull one person alone and say that you want to cut down the cash cow of his yamen, even if the final result is achieved, there will definitely be various resistances in the process of implementation.

But it is different now. After such a wave of operations, the two parties will form a mutual supervision role.Moreover, as the household department that can collect the corresponding military supplies tax, it will be happy to see them split up.

In this way, this matter can quickly achieve the effect that Zhu Changluo wants. At the same time, he can also openly allocate part of his energy to the firearms manufacturing of Xishan Huangzhuang to stimulate the Military Weapons Bureau of the Ministry of War and the Inner Palace. Bureau.

Looking at the reactions of the two, Zhu Changluo continued: "Since this is the case, the matter is settled like this. The solitary association instructed the internal staff to come up with a charter as soon as possible. The two of you must fully cooperate with the cabinet, and don't delay the military supplies on the front line."

The two replied: "I obey the order."

Then, the two left the Ciqing Palace together, and on the way out, the two looked at each other and snorted.

They all greeted each other in their hearts, "Follow the vulgar warriors you like!"

The boat of friendship is overturned.
