eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 438 Master and Disciple
To simplify things, it is to launch a war against the Tatars. There are specific paths, such as generals, soldiers, silver, grain, horses... each one is not to say very rich, but it is basically prepared middle.

But if a large-scale war is really going to be fought, it must not have less than 10 cavalry as in the suppression, but there must be at least [-] infantry. Astronomical numbers, in order to transport and protect these grains and grasses, there must be a special grain transportation team.

In other words, this will lead an army of 20 to a war of annihilation.

But if it loses, it will be another humiliation of civil engineering.

Matters of this level are no longer decided by the Dachaohui, but by the 'Xiaochaohui'.

It is relatively easy to make a decision on the Grand Council, such as the river construction discussion that started in the afternoon.

When the imperial court has no money, it saves some money. Even so, it still allocated 30 yuan last year.

Now that the court has a lot of surplus, Zhu Houzhao is not a miser-emperor. His purpose of gathering wealth is to allow him to control it, and in the process of distribution, it will be more inclined to the common people to improve people's livelihood.So naturally more silver can be allocated.

Moreover, Shandong has received silver taels for two consecutive years, and the emperors of other places have no choice but to let go.

Therefore, Zhejiang, Nanzhili, Jiangxi, and Henan, the main grain-producing areas of the Ming Dynasty, all won this silver tael.The only one that failed was Huguang.

The proportion of Zhuangtian in Huguang is relatively high, and many princes are enshrined there. It stands to reason that the people there are poorer, and the court should be more inclined, but the problem is...

These silver coins have passed, and it may not necessarily go into anyone's pocket.

I spent money by myself, and then moved myself blindfolded in the palace, but I didn't know that I just fed another group of people.

It's better to put it in the hands of someone you trust.

Zhejiang is Wang Qiong, Nanzhili Youjian, Henan is Peng Ze, and Jiangxi is Jiao Fang. These people are not completely famous for their "cleanness", but they all have certain ability to do things.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Zhu Houzhao never thought that every penny of the allocated silver would be used well, but in the hands of the person in charge, he can at least get things done, and he will not say that several layers of bureaucrats will divide it themselves .

Except for the river worker, the issue of getting an official position that was set last year is gone this year, and the issue of the city that never sleeps is also gone.So this time, the Great Court Meeting can be delayed a little bit, until the He Gong's topic is successfully concluded, even if it is still early, it will not continue today.

To be honest, when Zhu Houzhao inherited the world, the country was peaceful and the people were peaceful, and there were many capable ministers. Lord, so Daming's condition is not bad.

On the whole, the common people can't eat enough, starve to death, and make do with it.

It's just that the case of opening the sea and adding the Lianghuai Salt Law made the court rich all of a sudden, which added more variables.

If the national treasury is still the same as in previous years, the cabinet will not think of solving the problem of more hungry people.

At the end of the afternoon, the sun has not yet set,

Zhu Houzhao hadn't seen his teacher Wang Jia for a long time, so he left him behind.Wang Shouren temporarily fell outside the hall, and Jin Gui was greeting him.

Liu Jin led two young eunuchs to move the chessboard.

Wang Jia understood, saluted and sat down.

The emperor placed the offer on his son, "I made an agreement with my husband a few years ago to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty. Although the achievements have not yet been completed, they have finally improved. Today, the Fengtian Palace is discussing the resumption. What do you think?"

Wang Jia has a broad and big face, deep bags under his eyes, sharp eyes, dignified demeanor and a sense of righteousness.

"Your Majesty is being self-effacing. The treasury has tens of millions of dollars in silver. This is nothing more than an improvement. It may be a grand occasion that has never been seen in the Ming Dynasty. It's just that Your Majesty doesn't want to use the word "prosperous age."

Zhu Houzhao said while laying down the money: "I know how the money came from. And since ancient times, where is the prosperity when the people are hungry?"

If the treasury and internal funds collected so much money according to the normal taxation procedures, it can be said to be a prosperous age.Because it shows that the tax system has been optimized, otherwise it would be impossible to collect so much, and it would be impossible to have such a large balance.

Now, many of them come from the sea trade.The people of Ming Dynasty themselves have not changed much.

Hearing this, Wang Jia was quite emotional, "It is really a blessing for the country and the people to have such an emperor as Your Majesty. As for today's affairs, I thought that I should use Yibu as an envoy to contact Tumote and Erdos. Ministry, if Dayan Khan really wants to raise troops, they will also ask for help. If not, Daming can also slowly recuperate. Your Majesty is now repairing water conservancy, revitalizing education, training soldiers and horses, and raising people. One more year will have a better chance of winning But if Dayan Khan really raises troops, Daming must not sit idly by!"

The last sentence is decisive.

Zhu Houzhao patted the table, "That's what I mean too! Everything is ready, just wait for this shareholder wind, if he moves, I will move! If he doesn't move, Daming will block trade, and salt, iron, cloth, and grain will not be given to him. Mutual market! It's a pity that the people in the court have linked this grand strategy with the money, and each wants to take it into their own pockets and exclude the other party."

In fact, many wars between Ming and Mongolia have a certain relationship with the mutual market.For example, the Tatars will ask the Ming Dynasty to trade with them. If there is no trade, there will be a war in a few years, but if the trade continues, there will still be a war when they become stronger.In the final analysis, it is to fight and to fight.

Of course, if you have the ability to respond at any time.Now all the money in the treasury cannot be spent all at once, otherwise, what should we do if we want to send troops to the treasury but the treasury is running away?
This is also the reason why Zhu Houzhao stopped the morning topic.

Because they are far apart, and because they are a bit stiff, if the quarrel continues, the two parties will only become more extreme and stubborn.

"Since His Majesty means this, why not let the humble minister bring it up."

Zhu Houzhao was a little moved, this is to rely on the two, but in fact the two in the officialdom, in most cases, it is not that both sides are friendly, but both sides are offended.

But Wang Jia just said it so normally.

"No, I have my own plans." He shook his head, and then asked: "What has Wang Boan been doing recently?"

Speaking of this person, Wang Jia laughed, "Your Majesty can be regarded as a discerning person, and he has known this person's talent for a long time. Wang Bo'an does not follow common sense, and he can often find the root cause. I gradually entrusted all the affairs of the sea to him. As His Majesty said at the beginning, many Japanese pirates on the sea, many of them were pretended by our Ming people because they had no one to live in under the sea ban. But after opening the sea, not all People have reformed themselves, and there are still bandits, large and small, at sea, so for a while, Wang Bo'an was the main one sailing the boat."

Zhu Houzhao chuckled, the former expert in suppressing bandits on land has now been transferred to sea.

"How many ships and people does he have now?"

"The main reason is that the ships are tight. In one year, there are a total of eight warships, which can carry 600 sailors and 3000 soldiers."

Eight...

Zhu Houzhao grinned a little, too little.The main thing is that there is no money. The battleship itself only needs 1000 taels of silver. The problem is to support so many people.

It is impossible to build so many empty ships and put them there.

"The imperial court will not save on this expenditure, and I will not be stingy. Eight ships are really too few. It is enough to pull them all together to form a fleet. This year, it will at least triple. For the issue of ships, you can go to Mei Kejia Negotiate, ask him to provide it."

Three times... Wang Jia calculated, this is a fleet of tens of thousands of people.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to afford such a large number of sailors in peace?"

"Please believe me sir. In my heart, in fact, Daming not only needs a navy, but also an ocean-going navy. At the beginning of opening the sea, this demand is not urgent, but after ten or eight years? Daming's maritime trade The amount of silver involved is tens of millions, and the merchants have no ability to protect themselves. In case of overseas robbery, my people come to ask the court to make decisions for them, how can I make decisions for them?"

Wang Jia was slightly silent.

"Your Majesty has far-reaching concerns, and my ministers are too late."

Zhu Houzhao smiled, "No matter how far away you are, you still need someone as talented as your husband to help you. Judging from the situation in the second year of Zhengde, the people's sentiments in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces have basically stabilized, and I won't let you hide there anymore. "

Wang Jia knew that the emperor was joking, so he had no intention of hiding, so he readily agreed, "I am willing to serve Your Majesty!"

"Liu Jin, go to Xuan Wang Bo'an."

"Yes."

Zhu Houzhao has always been very cautious about Wang Shouren's arrangements.While other historical celebrities are constantly promoted, Wang Shouren's official career is actually not prominent, because he is worried about spoiling the seedlings.

Zhu Houzhao is also familiar with his experience as an official.Wang Shouren had been to the Northwest and fought Tatars with Wang Yue, served as the head of the Ministry of War, suppressed bandits in Fujian, and had experience in commanding naval forces.It can be said that he has a lot of experience in military affairs.

But this kind of fierce man, how could Zhu Houzhao let him only do the job of suppressing bandits?

This book has 140 million words, and the quality and style are basically fixed. Sometimes it is very helpless for some people not to like it, but I have written a few books. I know that no matter how many people criticize, there are still people who like to read it, and At present, the follow-up subscription has been very stable. I have to write for these readers and for myself. It is the first time I write history, and I am still very serious (serious face).

Only one hundred and fourteen, still far from the goal!
