Wanli 1592

Chapter 145

Yang Junmin did some calculations, and reported a quota of 10 taels. Of course, the treasury amounted to more than [-] taels. Yang Junmin did not support the expansion of the Korean War. Seeing that the emperor not only sent the army, but now he even sent a navy to attack , It is really a bit sensational, so Yang Junmin deliberately said less, hoping to end this war as soon as possible, and even promote the peace talks between the two sides.

But Zhu Yijun definitely wouldn't think that way, he would pay, but definitely not so simply.

"One hundred thousand... one hundred thousand! Good, good, good!" Zhu Yijun threw a booklet in his hand on Yang Junmin, furious: "Since ancient times, the national treasury has been allocated money for national wars! It's my Ming Dynasty! How dare you ask the emperor to subsidize the country with the silver in your inventory! What did you do with the three or four million tax dollars! Every one of you has dirty hands and feet, what have you done with my treasury silver!"

Yang Junmin was inexplicably panicked by Zhu Yijun's sudden roar, he didn't react, and knelt down directly, Shi Xing also knelt down along with him.

"Your Majesty, please appease the fury of Thunder!"

Zhu Yijun smashed another booklet over, and shouted angrily: "Stop your anger, stop your anger! Do you know why I don't want to see you? Every time I see you, every time you ask me to transfer money from the internal treasury! The money from the treasury! What?! Where did the millions of dollars go?! Did I raise a group of officials or a group of rats?!"

Zhu Yijun scolded Yang Junmin and Shi Xing sternly, the two of them were so scolded that they couldn't say a word, they knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move. After a while, Zhu Yijun calmed down slowly and sat back on his seat , opened the mouth and said: "Stand up and answer carefully!"

The two stood up immediately as if they were pardoned.

"I don't care about the treasury's silver. I'm going to send a navy to attack the Japanese pirates. The Japanese nation will be settled in World War I. I can give you the silver, but Yang Junmin, let me tell you that the household treasury will give me at least 20 yuan. For a tael of silver, you can retire and return home!"

Zhu Yijun's words were unprecedentedly harsh, which shocked Yang Junmin—it is true that the household department needs to get 20 yuan, but it is all money prepared for various departments. The current sum of money may have been reserved by other departments three to five years ago, and they will be taken out as soon as the money arrives, and they will not be able to enter the warehouse of the household department, let alone deposit the silver.

He does have money on hand, but that's what the Ministry of Industry and Criminal Affairs ask for...

"Your Majesty, I... It's not that I don't want to take it, and I do have money on hand, but Your Majesty, that money is useful. In recent years, natural disasters and military disasters have continued, and the court's tax revenue has been declining year after year. They were all needed by various departments several years in advance. There was no silver deposit back then, so we had to wait for next year’s money to come and then make up for it. As soon as the money came to the capital, it was taken away by various departments, and even the warehouse of the household department could not enter. , Complementarity has been encouraged to maintain, and now His Majesty wants to withdraw 20 yuan in one breath, minister, minister, I really can't do it!"

Yang Junmin cried poor.

"I don't care about this! If I hadn't used money from my own treasury to subsidize the country these years, your household department would not be able to maintain it long ago. The money I subsidized was more than a million. Now you all have formed a habit. Yes, I have to pay for everything!
Then what do I want you to do as the Minister of the Household Department? !I can't afford to support a bunch of trash who can't even afford 20 taels of silver!A bunch of eunuchs are better at handling money than you! "

Zhu Yijun's words were very cold, not like angry words at all, which made Yang Junmin's heart tremble with fright, and he complained endlessly.

In all fairness, the emperor vented his malice towards the entire civil servant group on him alone. The dispute over the country made the emperor extremely angry, and his impression of the officials was so bad that he almost went to war with them.

But are the ministers really daring to start a war with the emperor?It was a rebellion, and if it was really going to happen, the emperor was in a hurry, and it was not impossible to come out with a knife and kill the ministers. The Song Dynasty did not kill scholar-bureaucrats, and the Ming Dynasty did not have this practice.

Back then, Lord Jiajing beat dozens of people to death with a stick, and it was only then that he brought down Yang Tinghe and tamed the civil servants. Now this master is not as courageous as Lord Jiajing, but his methods are not weak, and his temper is also strong.

It is not a secret that the emperor relied on the inner court officials to earn money and spend it himself. This should be put in other dynasties. There must be a special allocation of funds for the royal family in the household funds. Only the Ming Dynasty did not have it, and the emperor had to take out the money. Subsidize national use.

But Yang Junmin was well versed in the inside story and knew how far the Ming Dynasty had been hollowed out. He only knew that the accounts of the Ministry of Households must not be seen by the emperor, otherwise the entire outer court would really be bleeding into rivers.

As for the truth and falsehood of the emperor's words, Yang Junmin didn't dare to speculate, he only knew that this matter must be impossible, the emperor said angry words, but if the anger was directed at himself, he would not get any benefit .

The malice of the ministers towards the Jin Party group is not a day or two. The Jin merchants and the Jin Party went too far in helping students, which made the big businessmen and landlords in other places very dissatisfied. Spokespersons for their respective interests started dog-eat-dog.

Recently, this trend has been dispersed by the national dispute and the Korean War. For the time being, everyone will work together to force the emperor to compromise, but once this matter is settled, everyone will definitely start fighting for power again, and prepare for the division of power for the next dynasty. All parties The bull ghosts and snake gods of all factions will also start to move, and his situation will be very unfavorable at that time.

In order not to be honest at this time, Yang Junmin could only swallow this bitter pill and express his position with a bitter face.

"I will do my best to raise 20 taels of military expenses for His Majesty!"

"Humph!"

Zhu Yijun snorted coldly, and turned his gaze to Shi Xing: "Shi Xing, I'm going to send out the navy to cooperate with the army to fight and cut off the Japanese pirates' retreat from the waterway. Do you have a suitable candidate for the admiral of the navy?"

Shi Xing realized that the emperor's will to dispatch the navy was unshakable, so he thought for a while and said, "I recommend Chen Lin, the current deputy general of Ji Town."

"Chen Lin? It seems a little familiar, who is it?"

Zhu Yijun felt a little familiar when he heard the name at first, as if he had heard it somewhere.

Shi Xing replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, this person was conscripted into the imperial court last year and appointed as a general of the Seventh Battalion of Shenji. This is why he was recommended because he is not only good at land warfare, but also has some experience in water warfare, so I recommend this person as the admiral of the navy."

"Chen Lin? Has this person been impeached and dismissed because of corruption?" Yang Junmin suddenly said, "This person has been impeached for corruption in the past 30 years, so he was dismissed several times, and because he was indeed talented, he was dismissed several times. He was employed, but he never corrected his corruption problems, was always impeached and dismissed, and no one was willing to recommend him afterward.”

Shi Xing was a little embarrassed.

Zhu Yijun looked at Yang Junmin, and asked, "Shi Xing, is this the case?"
