"How much does the emperor spend?" Li Jinglong was stunned subconsciously and said in confusion, "The emperor did not spend much money? No matter how much is it built a palace, no matter how much is it built the Great Wall, no matter how much is it spent? Even the daily diet is only one or two or three dishes."

Deng Ping didn't say anything, and nodded silently.

It is said that the Emperor is thrifty, but those around the Emperor know that the emperor is now more frugal than the Emperor.

"Where will I ask you?" Li Jinglong asked.

"Ah? You ask me where?" Deng Ping wondered, "What are you asking?"

"What happened to the emperor spending money?" Li Jinglong said angrily.

"I just heard that, you don't know how to go?" Deng Ping smiled.

Hearing this, Li Jinglong glanced at him, "Hmph, you don't know what you deserve, and you know what you shouldn't know more than anyone else!"

~~

"Your Majesty, you've spent too much money!"

In the warm cabinet of the Ganqing Palace, Zhang Ju, the Minister of Revenue, shook his head and sighed, "I just saved some money in the Ming Dynasty in the past few years. Isn't it that what you use?"

The small dynasty meeting was underway. Zhu Yunyu summoned six ministers to discuss the war in Yunnan. As soon as he talked about money, Zhang Yu said this to him.

"Where did I spend money?" Zhu Yunxi looked unwilling, "You make it clear!"

"Weichen just took over as the Ministry of Revenue, and caught up with the money and grain this year to be put into the warehouse." Zhang Feng said, picking up an account book from his hand. "The Ministry of Revenue's treasury silver has not yet been clearly identified, so you allocate 1.5 million silver dollars to the five shipyards in Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Wenzhou, Quanzhou, Songjiang, right?"

Zhu Yunqiu picked up the teacup and nodded. Build ships not only to build warships for the Jinghai Army, but also to build civilian merchant ships. He will build them first, and after two years of the new policy of opening the sea will be implemented, they will be sold to private merchants.

However, this kind of investment will not see any profit in a short period of time, and it cannot be said to others.

"The border troops in various places also have the winter clothes and favors from the Beijing camp. You waved your hand to two million!" Zhang Jue continued.

"Can't it be possible for the soldiers on the frontier to spend the winter bitterly?" Zhu Yunxiu put down the teacup, "Shouldn't it be flowers? No one is bleeding on the front line. Can the Ming Dynasty be so clear and peaceful?"

"But there is no such precedent in the country!" Zhang Ju said, "In the past, winter clothes were given directly to cotton cloth and not ready-made clothes. The military pay was also converted into grain, beans, salt and tea. What you gave was real money!"

Zhang Jue continued, "There are also the Firearms Manufacturing Bureau under the Governor's Office of the Five Army and the Gunpowder Bureau of the Ministry of War. You have given a total of 738,267 silver dollars this year."

As he said that, he shook the account book in his hand, "It's okay if you give it to it, but these three money-spending account books were not handed over to the Ministry of Revenue. I sent someone to check the accounts and directly asked the Governor's Office of the Five Army to retaliate!"

Zhu Yunxi knew about this. Now it is not the time for the Ministry of Revenue to check these accounts. In addition to the Ming Dynasty, many of the firearms they made were sold to Japan.

When he thought of this, his thoughts suddenly drifted away.

"Zhu Gaochi has been to Japan for almost a month, why is there no movement at all?"

According to the secret report of the Jinyiwei, Zhu Gaochi has been wandering among the famous princes in Japan these days in Japan, eating, drinking, having fun and posing as an envoy of the Celestial Empire, but he never talks about his serious matters and never gives up anything he should give to others.

"What kind of bad intentions does this kid hold?" Zhu Yunxiu said in his heart.

"There are also the official schools in the world, you have also purchased 1.2 million silver..." As he said that, Zhang Ju paused and quickly turned over this article, "Official schools should be cultivated!"

"You also asked the Ministry of Revenue to prepare 4 million yuan in silver, saying that it is the bank for the planning officials to raise integrity in the future!" Zhang Yan continued to look at the account book, "In addition, a few days ago, you issued an imperial edict to compile a book, and allocated another 210,000 yuan to hire a great scholar and build a printing workshop of the Ministry of Industry."

"You also allocated 630,000 yuan to promote Hongshu!"

"Your Majesty, you can calculate your year..." At this point, Zhang Qing sighed, "As the saying goes, family members are not panic. Before the Ministry of Revenue has enough money, you are promised to go out. Our Ming Dynasty is so big, so we can't eat our old fortune every year, right?"

After the words came to an end, the other ministers agreed and nodded.

Their age was all hard since their founding. Seeing that the Ming Dynasty had just become more abundant in the past few years, the emperor spent money like water.

Moreover, the cash spent on the Ministry of Revenue Treasury.

In their perception, money is saved, while Zhu Yun'e believes that money can only be circulated after it is spent.

"Don't complain to me!" Zhu Yunxiu said, "I asked you to take charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and raising military expenses is your responsibility. Besides, I don't believe that the treasury cannot get two million!"

"Can you take it out!" Zhang Feng said, "What about next year? When the youth and the yellow people are not around next year, what kind of relief will be provided if there is a disaster or a difficulty in some place?"

After he finished speaking, the Secretary of Military Affairs Ru Wei also spoke, "I know the emperor's kindness, but the Yunnan war cannot be used as much as we want, so we will give as much as we want. If the front will adopt this habit..."

"The army and horses are going to move first. Don't you, the Minister of War?" Zhu Yunxiu said angrily, "It's better to have more than less military supplies. You should know the difficulties of fighting in Yunnan."

The most important thing about the war is logistics. The war against Yunnan and Myanmar is much more difficult than the Tartars outside the Great Wall. Moreover, this war cannot be over in one or half a year. Not to mention the destruction of the country and annexation, it must be done once and for all.

Zhu Yunyu remembered the lessons of history. The Ming Dynasty in history did not eliminate future troubles once and for all. Since the Yingzong era, it has spent more than ten million military expenditures in the southwest. People will have immediate worries without long-term thinking.

"It is because I know that I think..." Ru Ying said, looking at Zhu Yunying, "Your Majesty, give as much as you want to cultivate the arrogance of the soldiers. Could it be that if the money and food are not in place in the future, then there will be no war?"

"Besides, there have been long-standing examples of the wars in the country...it can be solved on the spot!" As he said that, Chang Ru, the Minister of War, who was a Confucian scholar, might also feel a little embarrassed.

"Ha! I know I can solve it on the spot!" Zhu Yunxiu sneered, "Where can you take that poor place in Myanmar?"

As he said that, he sighed, "The victory is made by money. Mu Chun told me in his memorial that if you want to have no more troubles in Myanmar and make it depressed, you can only have the power of Thunder and Thousand Army!"

Then, he looked around again, "Why can others sleep soundly under the bed? Myanmar's covetousness for the Yunnan border is obvious, and the Yunnan chieftains are unsteady in disobedience to Wang Hua. If you don't solve this difficult problem today, will you leave it to future generations?"

"The emperor clearly saw what Wanli said!" Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei, looked at the civil servants and spoke, "My sir, you may have a slight prejudice against the border areas and think that the wild land is insignificant. But if Yunnan changes, the southwest will be unstable."

"It's so difficult to get to the state. If you tighten your belt, you have to go on an expedition to Yunnan. This is the reason!"

"As for the military expenses of the Ming Dynasty, I can guarantee it. As soon as the war is settled in the future, I will return to Beijing to report the charges and verify the accounts, and the account list will be submitted to the Ministry of Revenue for verification."

His words came to the key point. That is, in the hearts of these civil servants, they actually don’t really agree with those wild places. The same thing is, in their eyes, where they cannot grow crops, collect taxes, and have few people, is not only useless, but also a burden on the Ming Dynasty.

"The two million military supplies need not only be given!" Zhu Yunxiu looked at the ministers and spoke slowly, "and also provide them in place. I will put my words here and transport the materials on the front line in everything."
