Zhu Dadian was happy when he heard the emperor use the word "please" and became an official for his position. Isn't it just for the sake of face? Now that the emperor treats himself like this, he must serve the emperor.

Zhu Dadian was born in the ninth year of Wanli. By the time of 65, the old man had a white beard, but he was in good spirits. He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am quite familiar with military affairs, so I have something to say. Your Majesty should not be too arrogant to those military men. I heard that an ordinary soldier's monthly money is only three silver dollars, and it is enough to reduce it to one. The firearms do not need to be fully equipped with a full battalion. They can separate 55. In this way, we can equip the army twice as much, and the combat effectiveness has not been significantly weakened!"

Zhu Dadian's words were very pertinent. At present, there is no other good way to reduce the treatment of the army. Of course, there is another one, which is to reduce the treatment of civil servants. However, how could Zhu Dadian say this as a civil servant?

Zhu Dadian thought he was right, but he had been in the gang for a short time. He didn't know how high the status of the army in Zhu Hongsan's military group was. As soon as the old man Zhu finished speaking, he heard a few loud voices from the side cursing: "What are you old bastard saying? Do you believe me or not, I will kill you?"

There were civil and military officials attending the meeting in the hall. Needless to say, there were several military generals. In this regard, the army was headed by the Nanjing Admiral Qian Yong, and Han Sanqiang, the commander of the Imperial Guard Division, and the old pirate Yan Qingshan on the Navy. Yan Digang is old and doesn't want to go out to sea to make a living, so he stays in Nanjing to take care of his old age. Today, when he heard that Zhu Dadian wanted to reduce the treatment of the army, Yan Digang, who was very angry, of course, had to give an explanation for his class.

"You Zhu family are all a bunch of pigs. I'm working hard on the front line, raising you pigs and then frame me behind my back. When I go back, I'll bring people to burn your pig's nest!"

Yan Qingshan relied on his cheap father-in-law of Zhu Hongsan, and his figure jumped high from behind, and scolded Zhu Dadian, and his ancestors and grandmothers. Of course, he didn't dare to do anything by studying civil servants. He just cursed him with great pleasure. In the end, he couldn't control himself and started scolding the ancestors of the Zhu family. Yan Qingshan forgot that there was another person in the hall named Zhu, the emperor Zhu Hongsan.

Zhu Hongsan was not happy that Yan Qingshan was cursing people, but after all, he was his father-in-law, so he couldn't say anything. Unexpectedly, the old guy cursed more and more. Zhu Hongsan stood up angrily and pointed at Yan Qingshan and cursed: "What are you old bastards scolding? Have you forgotten that my surname is Zhu? Come on, I will put this old bastard in prison for the imperial edict! No! Take it out first and beat me twenty sticks!"

As a son-in-law, the only one who called his father-in-law a bastard, was probably Zhu Hongsan. The Jinyiwei, who was standing guard outside the hall, rushed in after hearing the emperor's order, dragged Yan Qingshan out of the hall, and pressed him directly on the ground at the door to start spanking. The Jinyiwei guys looked at the dish and knew that this old guy was the emperor's father-in-law and didn't dare to hit him carefully. He just broke his skin, but it looked bloody and scary.

Yan Qingshan was beaten to defend the interests of the military. It was really bad for Qian Yong, who was also a general of the army, to not speak. At this time, any dispute between land and sea was an internal conflict.

Qian Yong led several military generals to stand up and kneel down and said, "Your Majesty, Old General Yan has been fighting for His Majesty for many years. He has worked hard without any credit. Please spare the old general!"

Zhu Hongsan's orders to beat Yan Qingshan's board was not entirely for him to curse people, but also for the support of civil servants. After all, these stinky old men are in charge of the remarks, so he doesn't want them to write them as tyrants. Now that Qian Yong and other generals come out to plead for mercy, Zhu Hongsan is just taking advantage of the situation.

Zhu Hongsan was about to speak, but he didn't know that Zhu Dadian was not satisfied. He used to be the governor to lead troops to quell the rebellion and dared to have any dissatisfaction with the military men. The second-rank general would kneel down when he saw the seventh-rank magistrate. Now someone dared to scold him, which really made Zhu Dadian angry.

"Your Majesty, this Yan Qingshan roars, the court is disrespectful to Your Majesty, and should be executed! Let me serve as a warning to you!"

Qian Yong was very dissatisfied with hearing what Zhu Dadian said next to him. You old guy dared to take advantage of the situation. Qian Yong whispered: "Mr. Zhu, I heard that Mr. Zhu is in Jinhua, take care of your health!" Qian Yong's words are obvious, just be careful, you old guy, if you are angry, you go to your hometown to pretend to be a bandit and kill your whole family.

This is the first time that Zhu Dadian was threatened by a soldier. He was about to get angry when he saw Qian Qianyi shaking his head at him. Zhu Dadian's heart trembled. Thinking that he had just arrived at the central government and did not understand the structure of power operation, these soldiers dared to say such words. It seems that the backend is very tough, so it is better not to suffer the loss in front of him.

Without objection, Zhu Hongsan ordered the Jinyiwei to stop the court and take Yan Qingshan down to recuperate.

After watching the farce, Yan Qingshan also carried it down. Ma Mingyuan coughed and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

The hall was just like that, and the seven masters didn't say a word because they were irrelevant at all, and the seven people decided the matter in the end. Now Ma Mingyuan stood up and everyone knows that the bosses of various factions are about to speak.

After receiving Zhu Hongsan's permission, Ma Mingyuan began to speak: "Dear colleagues, we are all pillars of the country. We know that governing the country is not easy, so don't ask those unrealistic issues. I just heard from my official that the annual income is only so much, and the war is fought, the salary is paid, and disasters in various places need relief. Let's talk about what to do!" The boss said differently. Don't talk about those useless things, just come with some useful things!

Ma Mingyuan said that Tong Yangjia could not be idle, and stood up and said, "What Ma Ge Lao said is very reasonable. Now the Qing Dynasty is on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and Yangzhou is still in the hands of the Qing Dynasty. The King of Gui, who is entrenched in Guangxi, does not respect the will of heaven and insists on fighting against the court. These are all problems that need to be solved in reality. Therefore, military affairs are the most important now. However, just now Ma Ge Lao also mentioned the financial difficulties of the country, and our Ministry of War will also take a step back. Next year's total will only require 15 million silver dollars, which is good to be on par with this year!"

Tong Yangjia's words angered other cabinet masters. Fu Wenlong, who was in charge of the Ministry of Works, stood up and said, "Gei Tong, you said your War is important, aren't we important? Now the whole country is in ruins. The farmland water conservancy in the grain-producing areas of Nanzhili and Zhejiang, Jiangxi has not been renovated for three years. In the next two months, the spring plowing season will be in spring. When the people can't grow the land and have no food to eat, they will come to you. In addition, the Nanjing Imperial City has not been renovated for more than 200 years. The Fengtian Hall was burned by heavenly fire during the Zhengtong period and has not been repaired. Your Majesty now has to be squeezed into the Wenhua Hall. How can the country's majesty be guaranteed if you don't invest money?"

As soon as Fu Wenlong finished speaking, Qian Qianyi stood up and continued, "What should we do with the Ministry of Rites? Next year will be the national talent ceremonies. The imperial examination has been suspended for six years since the 15th year of Chongzhen, while the Qing Dynasty in the north held its first imperial examination last year. I heard that a large number of literati went to participate in the imperial examination, so talents will be attracted by the Qing Dynasty. For the sake of the great plan for a long time, the imperial examination must be reopened in September next year, and the silver of our Ministry of Rites must be guaranteed!"

Although Qian Qianyi had a good relationship with Tong Yangjia, as the leader of the Ministry of Rites, he did not fight for his subordinates and would work for him after he was not accused of his subordinates. At this time, all friends were fake, and only real interests were real friends.

After Huang Yingxiu was run away by Qian Qianyi at the beginning of the year, the Organization Department and the Personnel Department were under the management of Liu Dalin. Liu Dalin was a native of Qiongzhou, with poor legs and feet, and was unable to move. However, seeing that the various cabinet masters stood up to compete for interests regardless of their identities, Liu Dalin also struggled and said, "You all say that you are important, isn't the Ministry of Personnel not important? No matter what policy, it is not necessary for officials to solve it in the end, so the salaries of officials next year must not be reduced!" In fact, Liu Dalin's words are equivalent to vain. Everyone here is officials, how can his knife cut his hand? Liu Dalin said this just to remind him of the meaning of his existence.

Everyone else stood up and robbed silver dollars. Jiang Yueguang, who was in charge of the Ministry of Justice and the Police Department, had no choice but to stand up and say a few words. Jiang Yueguang was originally a cabinet master of Hongguang Dynasty. Although he had a great fight in the cabinet before, there were still no one who stood up to compete for profits like this. After all, they were all scholars and were very particular about face.

But the Shenwu court is different from the Hongguang Dynasty. If you don’t stand up and grab these guys, you can really share the interests that belong to you. You should know that the police department is in charge of inspection departments across the country, inspection departments in various provinces, and patrol the sea routes in coastal provinces. It is also a powerful department with a large number of individuals. As a head of the family, Jiang Yueguang will not fight for benefits. If his subordinates do not work next year, they will be waiting for death with their dead wages!

"Our Ministry of Justice and Police also need funding for case handling. Now all provinces across the country have just been liberated, and there are bandits everywhere. The inspection departments in various places are short of personnel and old weapons. These require funding, and we must never be missing!"

When Tong Yangjia saw these cabinet masters standing up for profit regardless of their identity, he smiled contemptuously and said, "You guys, you guys, are you talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality, why don't you talk about it now? Jiang Yueguang, you are the famous scholars in Jiangxi, why do you fight for these Adu things regardless of your identity? The Ministry of War is the foundation. If you do not allocate sufficient food and salary to the Ministry of War, what should the army be unable to resist the Qing Dynasty? Should you use your farmland water conservancy, Jinshi Juren, and Xing Jun to resist the Qing army? I don't care about the others, our Ministry of War will definitely not lose a silver dollar next year!"

Tong Yangjia's call was unanimously agreed by all the military generals, and Qian Yong was beating and drumming at the side: "My lords, we really can't reduce the cost of the army. Think about it, the Qing Dynasty is on the north bank of the Yangtze River. If you don't want to think about your Majesty's safety, you should think about your Majesty's safety!"
