Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 440 Silver?

After Xu Xianyong finished speaking, he looked at the ministers!
At this moment, Jin Lian stood up and said to Xu Xianyong: "Liaodong Town is a bitter cold land. There are not many people of our Ming Dynasty there, and it is even uninhabited for thousands of miles. It is uneconomical for our Ming Dynasty to control such a land. For For our Ming Dynasty, it is also a burden. Moreover, the people of the two countries also move around each other. There is no clear boundary. Such words cannot be the reason for our Ming Dynasty to attack the Korean Dynasty!
At the same time, our Ming Dynasty's attack on the Korean Dynasty will arouse the vigilance and disunity of other vassal countries. At that time, once all those vassal countries rebel and besiege our Ming Dynasty together, what should we do? "

"Do they dare? Can they do it? I hope they can rebel! When the time comes, we will solve it all. We, the people of Ming Dynasty, are short of land now. If they can attack, I will be very happy! The people of Ming Dynasty are also happy! "Lin Cunde couldn't help it at this moment and looked at Jin Lian and the others indifferently and said!

Originally, Guo Sheng and the others had told Lin Cunde not to end so soon, but Lin Cunde couldn't help it!

Especially when I heard Jin Lian say that those affiliated congresses resisted!
Those civil servants were stunned for a moment when they heard what Lin Cunde said. Then Chen Xun stood up and said to Lin Cunde: "Marquis of Luling, you are a military general. I must have heard the saying that war will lead to death. If we and the surrounding countries We are all fighting, and our Ming Dynasty cannot sustain it! Moreover, our Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette, how can we do such a barbaric thing?"

After hearing this, Lin Cunde smiled and said: "Oara was also on good terms with us before and paid tribute, and Japan was also on good terms with us before and paid tribute. Could it be said that we were wrong in not attacking them before? If it is right? Why? Will they attack us? If it is wrong, do you want to reflect on how the Ming Dynasty treats those vassal countries? Do we just want their tribute, or do we need to control some key areas?

For example, you all oppose fighting the Joseon Dynasty. In fact, I also know that the Joseon Dynasty is not a sufficient threat to our Ming Dynasty at present. However, our Ming Dynasty needs to go on an expedition to Japan. If we don’t go on an expedition to Japan, how will the people along the coast of our Ming Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment!

All ministers are ministers of our Ming Dynasty. They are all people who have read poetry and books. They all hope to leave their names in history, and they all hope to be remembered by the people!
However, you also know how much suffering the Japanese pirates have caused to the people along our coast!

Let me ask you, do you want to fight against the Japanese pirates? Do you want to fight against the Japanese country? If you want to fight, passing the Joseon Dynasty is the closest! Our Ming soldiers can save a lot of distance and reduce a lot of risks when crossing the sea!
You are all ministers of my Ming Dynasty. Do you care about the lives of my Ming Dynasty soldiers? Do you want to protect the so-called reputation, or do you want to protect the lives of my Ming Dynasty soldiers!

You need to think carefully about this issue!
If you think the reputation of the Ming Dynasty is more important, then well, as I said, the adult children of all the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty will follow us across the sea to fight, life or death!
After all, they are also the people of Ming Dynasty, and they are also obliged to ensure the safety of Ming Dynasty! "Lin Cunde stood there and said to the ministers!
When the ministers heard what Lin Cunde said, many ministers opened their mouths and wanted to refute, but they did not dare to refute!
After all, Lin Cunde’s words are correct!

"Come with us and don't say anything. Just continue to oppose. Otherwise, you are bullying others too much. You think our generals are easy to bully. You think our generals and soldiers are easy to bully, and you want to kill us! "Wang Ying also stood up and shouted to the civil servants!

Chen Xun heard Lin Cunde's words, looked at Lin Cunde, and wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to refute, and he didn't dare to let his children and grandchildren go across the sea to fight!

"You can continue to object. In short, our military generals can just say that it is okay to object, but it is okay not to fight against the Joseon Dynasty. When the time comes, let your adult heirs join our army. Don't worry, we will not let them fight against Japan. Just follow us across the sea and back!

Then all the other generals came forward with one request: either fight or cross the sea with them!
Chen Xun turned around and looked behind him at this moment, and found that all the civil servants had their heads lowered!

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty wanted to fight and protect the safety of the people of the Ming Dynasty. They needed to cross the sea nearby! If they objected, the Ming army would not have to attack the Korean Dynasty, but when crossing the sea, the soldiers would be at great risk. They couldn't let their army do all the good things that their civil servants had done and lose their lives?

Those civil servants didn’t dare to answer the question!
Zhu Qiyu, who was sitting on top, looked at the ministers below and sneered in his heart. After their interests were involved, they stopped moving!
If their interests are not involved, they will pounce and bite!

Everyone dares to come out, but who dares to come out and object?
If he really objects, and Zhu Qiyu agrees with what the general said, then the families of the civil servants will probably be in trouble!
"Hmph, hypocrisy!" Shi Heng snorted coldly and looked at those civil servants with contempt!

You continue to oppose! "After Lin Cunde finished speaking, he returned to the ranks of generals!
"Yes, you can object. Go with our soldiers. Isn't the life of our soldiers life? Besides, we had a good discussion with the Joseon Dynasty before, but they just didn't agree. Since they didn't agree, don't blame us. Come on!" Guo Sheng stood up and said to those civil servants!

"My dear friends, do you have anything else to say?" Zhu Qiyu asked, looking at the civil servants!

At this moment, Chen Xunyi gritted his teeth and stood up, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the generals' actions are unreasonable. Fighting is the business of their generals. Managing the country and managing the subject countries is the matter of our civil servants. Now, the subject countries all have opinions. , we civil servants naturally have to say it, we cannot say that because we civil servants object, they will let our descendants go across the sea together! This is a threat!"

"Yes, this is a threat!" As soon as Chen Xun finished speaking, many civil servants stood up and objected!
Lin Cunde also stood up at this moment and said to Chen Xun and the others: "You are right, it is a threat! Since ancient times, great governance can only be achieved when civil and military forces are in harmony, but how come our civilization and military affairs go in opposite directions! Whose fault is this? It is the fault of the civil servants , it’s still the general’s fault, Mr. Chen Ge, please explain to me!
The military generals have no brains and are playing tricks. Ten of us are tied together, and we are no match for any of your civil servants! I, the military general of the Ming Dynasty, only have one idea: to protect my family and my country, and to expand my territory!
Fighting against the Japanese is not only to protect the country, but also to expand the territory!
In addition, do you know how many benefits the war against Japan will bring to you civil servants? "

"What's the benefit? This will make us unable to control those client countries. How will we appease those client countries? Are these what we have to do? Will there be wars around my Ming Dynasty by then? You generals will still be tired of running around! I hope you, Marquis of Luling, will be cautious about this matter, and be more cautious. We have no objection to attacking Japan!

But we object, because if we want to fight against Japan, we must first kill one of the subordinate countries. After that, among the surrounding countries, who will dare to trust our Ming Dynasty? This will bring about a series of troubles! "Chen Xun also argued with Lin Cunde!
After hearing this, Lin Cunde nodded. Chen Xun's consideration was not unreasonable, but it was not enough. What he wanted was reputation, not that the Ming Dynasty's territory was large enough and the Ming Dynasty's army was strong!

On the contrary, their civil servants were very afraid of the power of the Ming generals!

"The Marquis of Luling nodded, which means I am right, but why is the Marquis of Luling so insistent?" Chen Xun saw Lin Cunde nodding and immediately asked!

Lin Cunde smiled, looked at Chen Xun and asked: "What do you think is restricting the development of our Ming Dynasty now? Especially commercial development, and why do we always use grain to pay our salaries? In addition, our Ming Dynasty pays salaries in grain. Why are the precious notes becoming less and less valuable now?
Are these matters for you civil servants? Who of you will answer my question?

Why are treasure banknotes becoming less and less valuable, and why do those who are slightly richer hope to collect copper coins and silver? gold? Who answers me? "

After Lin Cunde finished speaking, he looked at those ministers!

"Well, the reason why the treasure banknotes are not valuable is because the court issued too many, and the people don't trust the treasure banknotes!" Chen Xun couldn't help but said to Lin Cunde!
"Okay, then, people don't trust treasure money, but private transactions require money, so for what?" Lin Cunde continued to question!

After hearing this, Chen Xun looked up at Lin Cunde and wondered what Lin Cunde meant by what he said.
Shang Ren next to him stood up, raised his hands to Lin Cunde and said, "Marquis Luling, what we are talking about now is the issue of fighting the Joseon Dynasty and the Japanese country. What does this have to do with the money used?"

Lin Cunde looked at them and said calmly: "The Japanese country now has the largest silver mine in the world, which can be mined continuously for hundreds of years. It is not only rich in silver, but also rich in gold, which is urgently needed by our Ming Dynasty!
Don’t you know this? Didn’t the Japanese envoy tell you? "

"What? Can it be excavated for hundreds of years?"

"The largest silver mine? Can it be mined for hundreds of years?"

When the ministers heard what Lin Cunde said, they immediately started a commotion during the exam. They all looked at Lin Cunde in shock!
Chen Xun and Shang Ren were also staring at Lin Cunde at this moment!

Shang Ren could not help but ask Lin Cunde, "Is this serious?"

"The Japanese are already digging now, don't you know?" Lin Cunde asked Chen Xun and the others with a smile!

"This, this, this?" Chen Xun didn't know what to say at this moment. Ming Dynasty is in urgent need of silver!

"Let me ask you, even if we transport silver after conquering Japan, what is the risk of transporting silver if we do not conquer the Joseon Dynasty? Also, if the Joseon Dynasty agrees to allocate a piece of land to us, and if the Ming Dynasty becomes strong, they will naturally I dare not do anything, but what about when I am weak? Do you think they will covet the silver?" Lin Cunde stared at the civil servants and continued to ask.
