Chapter 5 I am not the king of benevolence
Li Jinglong's face was like a profiteer, and he was a profiteer who was so shady that he became charcoal.
"This..." Seeing Zhu Yunxi staring at him, Li Jinglong laughed, "Didn't the things the Governor's Office of the Five Army have given to those Tartars in recent years?"
At this time, the Ming Dynasty was not a corrupt scholar who was a country, nor was it just a sting scholar who was full of benevolence, righteousness and morality.
The game between countries is always a killing without blood.
The Northern Yuan Dynasty still had remnants. In order to win over other tribes, the Ming Dynasty had to leak a lot of benefits every year. But it was not for free, but border trade. The things given out made the other party quench his thirst and more and more dependent on the Ming Dynasty.
This is a soft knife for killing people, and there is no blood.
"When I was a child, I heard from my father and the others discuss military affairs. The food sold to the Tartars was turbulent and moldy!" Li Jinglong continued to whisper, "A iron pot, three horses will be exchanged. At this point, my father and the old ministers felt that they were losing money!"
None of the founding officials of the previous generation were easy to meet.
"If the Japanese really come to buy it, leave it to you!" Zhu Yunxiu smiled, continued to look at the war horses, and said.
Leave professional matters to professionals.
Li Jinglong was suddenly overjoyed and quickly thought in his mind, "If the Japanese really come to buy it, they must pretend to be reluctant. In this way, they must respect me!"
However, then his face became solemn and he spoke, "Your Majesty, are you really rich on the Japanese side?"
"More than money!" Zhu Yunsheng snorted, "How many silver mountains are there for the fiefs of famous princes in their mountain?" He said, adding to his tone, "Yinshan! Their maritime business deals with Ningbo are all pure cash silver!"
"I know this..." As he said that, Li Jinglong was shocked and quickly changed his words, "I think it is true to see it. How much production in Yinshan has? It is up to be discussed!"
As he said, thinking, "Your Majesty, I think you should find out the output. After finding out, you don't have to buy this and that with our Ming Dynasty with cash."
"Use the silver mountain as collateral, our Ming Dynasty will send people to mine and keep accounts, hehe!"
"Let them bite their dogs, and we will help whoever is weak! We have the final say for whom we sell it to!"
Zhu Yunxiu turned around again and looked at Li Jinglong's harmless face, "I'm really a pity to ask you to lead troops and manage the firearm manufacturing bureau!"
"Is this a good or a bad thing!"
Li Jinglong thought for a moment and smiled, "No matter what I do, I will help Master Long live to share my worries!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled again, "This matter is kept confidential for the time being, and I will leave it to the Jinyiwei Office first, so don't spread it!"
He rewarded the Japanese and sent envoys to the Japanese, and sent them to the civil servants, and they must have had some verbal talk.
"Emperor!" At this time, Li Jinglong spoke again, "I dare to ask, if the Japanese really come to buy it, how should the money they earn be disposed of? Should they be handed over to the national treasury, or... to be used as the emperor's inner treasury!"
Although the emperor is the lord of the world, he cannot spend money indiscriminately.
The money from the national treasury belongs to the national treasury, and the emperor had his own internal treasury in the palace. When the old man was in charge, the salt tax on Lianghuai belonged to the internal treasury. However, the money was not spent on the old man himself, and it was all used as military expenses.
After Zhu Yunyu became emperor, he simply attributed the Lianghuai salt tax to the national treasury. With the commercial tax, the national treasury was full, but now he, as an emperor, really doesn't have much money.
It is easy to give it out and it is difficult to get back. If he wants to ask the treasury for money now, those civil servants with iron will have no money. And he also has to ask him, "Your Majesty, you eat and drink well in the palace, what do you want for money?"
The Ming Dynasty had such a ancestral family law, otherwise those emperors would not have a group of eunuchs to collect taxes everywhere.
At this time, Li Jinglong looked at Zhu Yunxi's face and whispered, "Since this matter is not to be praised, I think it is better to be the emperor's inner treasury!" As he said, he smiled, "The emperor's life is too hard, and I can't even see it!"
Although there is not a single sign of the eight characters, as long as the Ming Dynasty extends an olive branch, there is no reason why Japan doesn’t buy it.
Zhu Yunxiu pondered for a moment, looked at the war horses in the stable, and slowly spoke, "If I have money, I will not give it to the Ministry of Revenue, but to the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Army!"
"Hmm?" Li Jinglong was very puzzled.
I heard Zhu Yunxi continue, "Special funds are used for building warships and naval forces!"
The scale of the Jing Navy is still too small now, and for the long sea border of the Ming Dynasty, such a maritime armed force can only be regarded as an offshore defense force.
What Zhu Yunxiu wants is ocean sea defense and sea expansion!
The Navy is a bottomless pit. Just the Jing Haijun, which feeds tens of thousands of people, spends every year just like water.
"Using Japanese money to build the Ming navy is also a cycle of cause and effect!" Zhu Yunsheng said in his heart.
Thinking about the original time and space, Japan became the overlord of Asia through the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and has been lying on China for decades to suck blood, gradually becoming a world power.
Then this time and space will allow him to continue infighting forever and never have a chance to turn things around.
There must be no unified regime around the Ming Dynasty, and it will inevitably be divided into countless small forces dependent on the Ming Dynasty. This will be convenient for the Ming Dynasty to eat them all one by one.
This is what Beautiful Country does. Look at the neighbors around him, is there anyone who lives well? They all hate it so much that they are about to die, but they still have to beg it and curry favor with it.
"I am also a person who has read books. Throughout history, I have never seen any emperor who is as dedicated to the country as the emperor!" Li Jinglong sighed, "Even Emperor Wu and Tangzong of Han, he loved pleasure in addition to his great achievements. But the emperor has been governing the country for several years and is truly a blessing for the subjects in the world!"
"You don't need to flatter!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and cursed, "I want to enjoy it too, but there are so many places where the country uses money. Where does the money I enjoy come from? Do you give it?"
After the words came, Li Jinglong knelt on the ground with a thud, "Your Majesty, I apologize!"
Zhu Yunxi looked back at him and said lightly, "Have you committed a crime again?"
"It's not me, it's my youngest brother!" Li Jinglong kowtowed, "I am asking to see the emperor today, and I am here to apologize. I am incompetent in my family, so my younger brother committed a heinous crime..."
"Tell me something!" Zhu Yunxiu interrupted him, "Just take it straight!"
"Yes!" Li Jinglong responded, and then talked about how Li Fangying colluded with Ningbo.
Of course, in his words, Li Jinglong must have been unaware of it at all. His younger brother asked to come to the door, but he did not dare to agree, so he could only submit a memorial.
As he said that, Li Jinglong choked and said, "The emperor's life is so hard, he can spend a penny. Ke Chen's bastard brother, over the years, he has earned 300,000 yuan!"
Then, he shouted loudly, "When I go back, let the bastard take out the money and hand it over to the national treasury!" As he said that, he looked at Zhu Yunxi's face, "In fact, there is much more than this!"
"That bastard cousin made a lot of money while serving in Ningbo Customs, all of which were stored in the capital's money shop. Roughly calculated that it was more than one hundred thousand!"
"The tickets for withdrawing money are all in the hands of the bastard, and these ill-gotten wealth should be dedicated to the emperor!"
Zhu Yunxiu listened silently, expressionless and never spoke.
He didn't speak, but Li Jinglong was panicked.
"Dedicated to me? Well, you are also loyal, but I'm afraid you won't intercept less, right?"
I know Li Jinglong and Zhu Yunxie very well. It is amazing that he can take all the hairs of the geese.
He must have been unable to eat such a large amount of money, so he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and took out his big head. In the future, the criminal officials in Ningbo spoke out and said the stolen money, but they could not touch him, Li Jinglong.
All the money is given to the emperor, who dares to investigate?
Upon hearing this, Li Jinglong was shocked and said anxiously, "Long live, how dare I do that kind of thing..."
"Okay, you don't need to explain. Explanation is just a cover-up. I don't know you yet?" Zhu Yunxi cursed, "If your third brother is involved in smuggling cases, he has helped those maritime merchants cover up and clear the news over the years, and he will not be able to escape!"
"If you don't have it, you can't kill your deceased father for his sake!"
"As for the stolen money...?"
"Emperor!" Li Jinglong said again, "Even if you blame me, I will say so. I think it is better to fill the money into the inner treasury. You have not handled the ceremony until now, and the imperial city has not been repaired. My wife came back to the palace a few days ago and said that the empress's jewelry is old!"
