Chapter 692 Borrowing Flowers to Offer Buddha ([-])

Damn it, I was careless, this sap hurts... so fucking painful!

For more than a year, Ba Ye was licking his wounds, and Hong Qing was also living his life. Without any involvement with each other, people will inevitably have inertial thinking, even though there is a "sharp knife" staring at the surroundings. Grandpa, Baye and others, but Hongqing herself felt a little slack. She didn't expect the scene like this, and being knocked down by such a sap from Jiuye really made Hongqing really want to The impulse to scold her, of course, I want to go back to thinking about it, but it is impossible to do so. Facing the inquiring gaze of the Twelfth Master, Hong Qing can only nod her head expressionlessly.

"Ok?"

When Twelfth Master hesitated, the old man's face drooped immediately, and he frowned slightly, full of displeasure.

"Returning to Huang Ama, the Ministry of Industry currently has a deposit of 1308 million taels of silver, and this year has not yet reached the time of settlement. However, according to the dynamic reports of all parties, the annual income obtained cannot go down to 1000 taels of the year. Two, or more growth, but the specific amount will not be known until the year-end settlement.”

Seeing Hongqing nod his head, Twelfth Master already had a solid foundation in his mind, and when he heard that the old man's voice was wrong, he dared not hesitate any longer, so he hurriedly bowed down and explained.

"Om..."

In fact, the figures reported by the Twelfth Lord are somewhat reserved, probably because he himself does not know how much the annual income of the Ministry of Industry will be this year, so he can only make vague remarks, but even so, it still makes everyone in the palace All the ministers and workers were in an uproar. There was nothing else. Last year, the state’s fiscal revenue was only 3000 million taels. That's about two or so. After deducting all kinds of expenses, the treasury can only save three to five million taels a year. This is still no war. Like last year, there was a big war. Not only did the treasury fail to save money, but The silver deposits over the years have been exhausted, at least according to the mouth of the fourth master, and the Ministry of Industry can save more than 500 million taels of silver every year. Comparing these two, it is unavoidable. It's amazing.

"Imperial Ama learned that if the Ministry of Industry can transfer the silver to be used by the military, the national treasury will be safe, and the need for additional donations will be avoided. As the ninth brother said, this is a very convenient move."

The voices of the ministers' discussions were still undecided, but the fourth master had already made a loud proposal.

Wuyu's fart, these two bastards are playing a double reed!

Hong Qing was suspicious at first, but when she heard Fourth Master expressing her attitude so eagerly, how could she not see something strange? There is no doubt that the current scene was created by Fourth Master and Eighth Master jointly. There is only one thing, and that is to weaken the strength of the Ministry of Industry to the greatest extent - if it is really done according to what the fourth master said, the war on the side of the Fourteenth Master will not stop for a day, and the Ministry of Industry will lose blood, and the impact will be terrible. Not only the national road construction plan, but even the research funding of the Ministry of Industry will be greatly affected. A Ministry of Industry without money is like a tiger without teeth, and it is really hard to pose a big threat at all.

"Emperor Ama has learned from you. My son thinks that what the fourth brother said is very true. This is a good deed for the benefit of the two, and we should carry it out."

"Huang Ama, my son and minister seconded the proposal!"

"Great idea, Huang Ama please issue an edict to allow it!"

……

As soon as the fourth master made such a statement, the eighth, ninth, and thirteen masters immediately followed up and seconded their words. Immediately afterwards, Nalan Kuixu, Arsun A and other eighth masters also stood up and praised them all. The third master's side couldn't react for a while, and they all kept silent, so the public opinion in the hall became overwhelming.

"Well, Old Twelve, the Ministry of Industry should be doing government affairs that don't use a lot of money recently?"

The old man was obviously moved, but instead of making a direct decision, he asked a question in a deep voice.

"This……"

Upon hearing the old man's question, Elder Twelfth inevitably hesitated again, nothing else, because Old Twelve had already heard the true intentions of the old man, so he didn't want to disobey the old man at this moment It means that the problem is that his old twelve did not earn the money from the Ministry of Industry, and he is not allowed to use it. If he dares to deal with it indiscriminately at this moment, he will definitely be taught a lesson by Hongqing Haosheng later. , but if you say no, but you are worried about the old man's crime, and you are in a dilemma, you really don't know how to answer.

"Imperial Mafa, my grandson has something to say."

Even though she hadn't decided on a countermeasure yet, seeing that the old man was about to make a final decision, Hong Qing couldn't hold back, so she stepped out from the side and pleaded loudly.

"speak!"

The reason why the old man has been persecuting the Twelfth Lord instead of asking Hong Qing is because he wants to avoid Hong Qing, but since Hong Qing has stepped forward, the old man can't let Hong Qing speak, so he can only frown With a wrinkle, he spit out a word impatiently.

"In order for Huang Mafa to know that the silver taels obtained by the Ministry of Industry are the income from various inventions and shares in various companies. Three years ago, grandson had made a plan to allocate the silver taels for road construction in various provinces. The plan for this winter has been decided, and the dividends from last year’s deposits and even this year’s dividends have been planned to be distributed to the provinces, and the regulations for all matters are originally scheduled to be reported to the Emperor Mafa for review at the time of the next day, and it may be difficult to transfer them to military funds.”

Even though she clearly felt the old man's displeasure, Hong Qing was still unwilling to give up her last effort, so she bit the bullet and told about the agreement she had with the old man in her early years.

"King Renjun's words are wrong. The appeasement of the country is at the frontier. If the border troubles continue, the country will be in trouble. As for the road repairs, when can we not do it? There is no need to rush for a while. We will discuss it after the war subsides. Why not."

Hearing Hong Qing's words, the old man has a good face, so it's not easy to force the transfer of the money from the Ministry of Industry, although his brows are about to wrinkle, but he doesn't say a word, but the fourth master is unwilling to give up, and his words are hot Said a big reason.

"Fourth brother's words are very good. The road is the foundation of the people. Although it is considered an important task, it is not an urgent one. It will not be too late to plan slowly after breaking Junggar."

The eighth master obviously made a good deal with the fourth master, no, as soon as the fourth master's voice fell, he followed up with a very tacit understanding, further elaborating on what the fourth master said.

"Emperor Ama has learned a lesson, my son thinks what the fourth brother and the starling said are all right, so you should act quickly!"

"That's right, it's very important to build roads. It doesn't matter if it's later or earlier. King Renjun used such an excuse to prevaricate. Could it be that he has ulterior motives?"

……

As soon as Master Ba came out like this, Master Jiu and Master Shi immediately followed suit. Master Jiu was still discussing the matter, but Master Ten accused Hong Qing of having ulterior motives without any scruples, and his words were presumptuous very.

Big trouble this time!

Being besieged endlessly by several uncles, Hong Qing looked calm and calm, but she couldn't help but feel a little anxious in her heart. There is nothing else, probably because he was unprepared in advance and was suddenly attacked. It is obviously impossible to find a good way to turn things around in such a short period of time. After all, Fourth Master and others are not idle people. It's not easy to win a battle, but Hongqing has always been quick-witted, and at this moment, she can't help but feel her hair sinking.

"Huang Ama Mingjian, I thought that the fourth brother and others were all nonsense. They attacked a mere Junggar with an army of 30. After one and a half years, there were only a few victories. It is really a disgrace to the court to waste rice in vain, since the general is incapable of defeating the enemy, why not replace him?"

Seeing Hongqing being besieged, Old Sixteen couldn't stand it any longer, so he strode out from the sidelines and impassionedly suggested changing generals.

"Presumptuous, is it possible for someone like you to make nonsense about military and state affairs, and change people? Hey, if I change, I'm afraid I will lose my army and return in less than a month. Ignorant people, how dare you say such a thing!"

As soon as the old sixteen finished his words, the old ten's expression became serious, and he sternly reprimanded him without any scruples.

"You're talking nonsense. The Thirteenth Brother only led an army of more than ten thousand people and went on an expedition across the sea. In less than half a year, the Japanese kingdom was wiped out and hundreds of thousands of enemies were wiped out. Compared with someone's incompetence, isn't there a difference between one day and one place? ?”

The sixteenth old man was a bold one, no matter how ugly the tenth old man's face was, and the old man was sitting on the head with a dark face, he cursed back sharply.

"The sixteenth brother's words are wrong. The Japanese country is nothing more than a barbarian. It is dark and weak, and it is really vulnerable. Now the Junggar tribe is strong and strong, and its ability to ride and shoot is not under my Eight Banners. How can the two be the same? , Absurd, absurd!"

Seeing that Master Shi's eyes were wide open, and he seemed to be on the verge of being furious, Master Jiu did not dare to sit and watch. He finally got a chance to beat Hong Qing hard. After getting confused, this hurriedly stood up from the side, stopped in front of Master Shi, shook his huge head, and refuted it with heartbroken words.

"The ninth brother's analysis is true. Today, the fourteenth brother fought several times and fought his way into the hinterland of Junggar. The victory was hard-won. If the sixteenth brother's statement is known to the soldiers in front, Wouldn't it hurt people? It's not what a gentleman should say."

When Master Ninth bluffed like this, Master Eighth naturally wanted to respond. The poor old Sixteen was not known for his eloquence, he was outmatched by two fists, and he blushed and had a thick neck when he was besieged by his elder brothers. If you want to argue again, you can't find a very good reason for a while, so you can only breathe heavily.

"enough!"

The old man was obviously annoyed at seeing the elder brothers making too much noise, so he raised his hand and opened his mouth coldly, stopping the elder brothers from besieging Lao Shiliu, then looked around with a slight frown After looking at all the people in the hall, the gaze finally fell on Hong Qing, the corners of her mouth moved a few times, as if she wanted to speak, but then stopped hesitantly, showing that she was quite hesitant...
