Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Chapter 429: The court is discussing the amendment of the financial regulations, and everyone has different opinions and thoughts (Part )
The atmosphere in the court was so solemn that it seemed to be condensed into substance.

The sunlight struggled to filter through the carved window, sparingly casting a few mottled shadows on the ground.

But this little bit of light was completely unable to penetrate the gloomy worry that shrouded the hearts of everyone in the court, nor could it dispel the gloom that followed like a shadow.

Everyone was immersed in the method proposed by King Jin Zhu Gang, as well as the different opinions expressed by the gentlemen just now. Everyone had an expression of worry, contemplation, or confusion on their faces, varying degrees of depth.

They were all secretly thinking in their hearts: Where will the financial path of the Ming Dynasty go after all this turmoil?

Tang Duo was naturally full of worries, and this new method sounded quite innovative.

But if it is really put into practice, it will probably stir up huge waves in the muddy water of the court.

After all, in this court, various forces are intertwined.

The conflicts of interest are like a tangled mess, and implementing a new initiative is harder than climbing to the sky.

He first nodded slightly, as if he appreciated some of Zhu Gang's ideas.

But then Tang Duo slowly shook his head, his brows furrowed tightly as if he could pinch a fly to death.

The hint of worry in his eyes was like the cloudy sky, with no sign of clearing up at all.

Tang Duo was seen with his hands behind his back, his fingers tapping the back of his other hand unconsciously.

Time and again, that rhythm seemed to be the metronome of his inner struggle at the moment.

At the same time, Tang Duo's body center of gravity was moving slightly between his two feet, just like a shrewd businessman who was weighing the pros and cons.

But what he weighed was not the petty profits, but the great cause of the Ming Dynasty for generations to come.

At this moment, Zhao Xian, a general who worked in the Ministry of War next to Tang Duo, couldn't help but come over.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Master Tang, do you think the method proposed by His Royal Highness Prince Jin can be of any benefit to our military?"

Tang Duo pondered for a moment, his eyes still looking straight ahead.

That look seemed to be able to penetrate the heavy curtains of the court and look into the unknown distance.

After a long while, he slowly spoke, his voice sounding solemn and thoughtful.

"Well, this method does have some merits in theory.

Just think about it, if it can be implemented smoothly.

The allocation of military funds will no longer be a confusing mess, but will become more reasonable and orderly.

This will certainly help our military preparations, and perhaps even be of some benefit."

Tang Duo paused, and his slightly frowned brows tightened a little more.

He went on to say: "But you also know that things in the court are not that simple.

The interests of all parties are involved, like an invisible net.

The slightest movement will affect the entire body.

The tricks involved are very complicated.

Take the military expenditure for example. Normally, all forces are eyeing this piece of fat meat and want to get a piece of it.

Now that we are implementing a new method to allocate military funds, it is bound to affect the interests of certain people. How can they let it go?
So, if we really want to implement it, I'm afraid it will be very difficult!"

Zhao Xian, who had just taken up the post of Director of the Military Affairs Department not long ago, could not help but sigh softly and shook his head helplessly when he heard this.

He muttered in a low voice: "Oh, I knew it wouldn't be that easy. What should I do now?"

Tang Duo patted his shoulder and said soothingly, "Don't worry, let's wait and see what happens next.

This matter, it depends on how His Royal Highness Prince Jin responds, after all, it was he who proposed the solution. Let's wait and see whether His Royal Highness Prince Jin can fight his way out of these numerous obstacles.

But then again, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin does have some courage.

The courage to propose such a new method in this court must have been well thought out.

But it is really difficult to implement this.”

Zhao Xian nodded, "That's the only way. I hope nothing serious will happen."

The new Minister of Justice, Hu Zhen, was the son of Hu Shen, the Marquis of Jinyun County, a famous official during the Hongwu period of the early Ming Dynasty. He was known for his strictness and fairness.

His figure was as tall and straight as a green pine or cypress, and whenever he stood there he exuded an aura of majesty without even being angry, which made people dare not look directly at him.

When Hu Zhen heard Zhu Gang explain that method, his eyes instantly became extremely deep.

Those eyes were like two sharp cold rays, fixed firmly on Zhu Gang.

It was as if he wanted to see through the other party inside and out, and he had to find out what His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin was up to.

I saw him folding his hands in front of his chest, his expression as serious as the indestructible ice in the cold winter.

Her lips were slightly pursed, and those tightly closed lips were like an extremely solid line of defense.

No one can easily pry a word out of Hu Zhen.

He thought silently in his heart that once this new financial method was implemented, it would inevitably involve adjustments and regulations in many legal aspects.

This matter cannot be taken lightly. If it is not handled properly, loopholes in the law will be exploited by others.

By then, all kinds of illegal and disorderly activities will surely grow and spread like weeds.

Then the Ming Dynasty's court would be in chaos and there would be no peace!
Hu Zhen just stood there quietly, his body as straight and motionless as a statue, as if time had stopped for him.

Only occasionally would he slightly adjust his posture to maintain comfort during such a long period of standing.

But even this subtle movement was done so meticulously, showing his rigor.

At this moment, an official from the Ministry of Justice couldn't help but whispered, "Sir Hu, do you think that His Royal Highness Prince Jin's new method will cause trouble under the law?"

Hu Zhen's face was stern, and he didn't even glance at the official, and he said slowly: "Humph, if this method is really to be implemented, then the legal aspects cannot be sloppy.

It requires careful consideration to ensure that all regulations are implemented seamlessly.

Just like tightly meshed gears, there is no room for error.

Otherwise, there will be no peace in this court!"

The official from the Ministry of Justice next to him couldn't help but shrink his neck after hearing these words.

A trace of fear appeared on his face, and he muttered softly, "Yes, yes, yes! Lord Hu is right, this matter cannot be taken lightly."

Hu Zhen glanced at him, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
It was as if he was saying, "Good to know," and then he continued to immerse himself in his own thoughts on the matter.

Before half a cup of tea had passed, Li Qing, a deputy minister of the Fourth Division of the Ministry of Justice, boldly asked, "Sir Hu, if there really is a legal problem, our Ministry of Justice will be very busy. What should we do then?"

Hu Zhen glanced at him coldly, "Humph, if such a thing really happened, it will naturally be punished according to the law, and there will be no leniency.

Our Ministry of Justice does this, how can we be afraid of it?

However, if this method is to be implemented, the legal issues must be clarified in the early stages.

Don’t wait until trouble breaks out before you clean up the mess.”

Li Qing nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Lord Hu is right. I understand."
