Everyone listened solemnly and did not dare to say anything.!

Xu Qian narrowed his eyes, took a sip of tea, and said, "It's the end of the year, the government offices of all prefectures and counties are doing nothing anyway, so why not? Please invite officials from Fujian and Nanzhili prefectures to Hangzhou and Ningbo to let them actually do it.

After understanding the new policy, Zhejiang dares to be the first in the world. However, although officials in Nanzhili and Fujian always listen to the new policies, they do not know what the new policy is. Only what can be seen and touched can make people feel at ease. Therefore,

Let the Money and Grain Bureau pay the money and landlords gather here, whether you negotiate or take them around, you can take them around and take a look. In this way, everyone can understand what they want after they have a clear mind.

no?"

This idea was pretty good. Everyone nodded and said, "What the lord said is reasonable."

Xu Qian smiled and looked at Wang Gen and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll ask Mr. Wang to Caohan. As for the reception, I'm afraid I'll have to bother the prefect Wang."

Magistrate Wang said: "You dare not do your best."

After the brief meeting, Xu Qian only made a temporary tone. Since the new policies of Nanzhili and Fujian are already imperative, the current problem is just a question of how to implement it.

However, there is no need to rush many things. Now that Xu Qian is promoted to Governor, it is still particularly joyful after all, and many people still need to slowly digest this happy event.

Immediately afterwards, the imperial edict from the court came again.

The palace was moving very quickly. As soon as his memorial arrived, the court made a claim and promoted Zhao Ming to the governor of Zhejiang and Wang to the governor of Zhejiang. As for the candidates for the governor of Wang, the court was selected, which decided.

, The palace has put a lot of efforts into it, and it is obviously really concerned about the special situation in Zhejiang. After all, Zhejiang's new policy has made a lot of profits. Every year, so much money flows to the inner treasury in the palace. The new policy

If something goes wrong, Jiajing's plan for the construction of the construction of the country will be vain.

Of course, another major news came. In the desert, the Ming army encountered a fierce battle with the Tatar cavalry. The Ming army won a great victory and beheaded more than 700 people. Although their own casualties were quite large, facing the enemy head-on, there could be such a thing.

The record is enough to celebrate.

In order to show that the Ming army did not take the initiative, the Ming army had already escorted all the heads and more than a hundred prisoners to Beijing. It was obvious that the war to combat the Japanese war made the court doubt the good news. Now, as long as the prisoners are seen, then

It is almost certain that the victory is not a false statement.

The court was very excited, and while the Emperor Jiajing took the pill, he also issued an order to reward relevant personnel.

But the next thing is a bit troublesome.

According to the report, the reason why this time was so smooth is that the firearms of the Datong Shenji Army were said to have greatly improved since they were equipped with the firearms of the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau. In the past, the Shenji Army had a very strong battle on the city wall.

However, once the field battle and combat power are greatly reduced, this is because there is no barrier in the field battle except for the chariot formation. On the other hand, facing the iron cavalry, the psychological pressure is also quite large.

Because the quality of the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau's firearm is relatively stable, it is rare to explode. In addition, both the range, the rate of fire and the speed of reloading gunpowder have been greatly improved. In the past, when facing the Iron Cavalry, there was a round of shooting time

It is rare. Many people are not ready yet. The cavalry carrying war horses and raising a big sword has rushed into the formation. There is no room for the Shenji Army to play. However, now, the improvement of reloading has made the time shorter and shorter

This gave enough time for the Shenji Army to calmly withdraw from the front after loading gunpowder and shooting, and handing the front to the sword, shield and spear-long military horses in the rear.

Even Governor Xuanda praised the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau's firearms with generous words in his memorials, and hoped that the court could continue to purchase them.

The Qiu Bas are not only satisfied with the firearms, but also the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau's marching quilts, tents, and even kettles. They did not consider the actual situation of the court, and they noddedly asked for a large amount of purchases, and even said some serious words.

If there is no Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau's weapons, it may be in danger of being destroyed when there is a war.

These people cheated on their fathers because they threw a huge trouble to the Ministry of War and the cabinet.

If you buy, where will the money come from? But if you don’t buy, if you really lose the army, even if there is no consequence of the Tumu Fort Incident, the outcome of this defeat is definitely not something that the court can accept. Once you lose, many people will

To be done, it is not a single or two who can bear such a big blame. If you lose, Qiu Ba and others will put the blame on you. Anyway, they have raised their opinions. The key to winning is weapons. If you don’t buy them,

It is your responsibility to settle the accounts in the future.

Whenever the court launches troops, there are many disputes, but it is rare to argue like this. Qiu Ba and others are determined to take advantage of the weight and must. Of course, the interest factors here are too great, and these people are

The abacus was very detailed. Someone had secretly calculated the batch of arms for the Shenji Army back then. The oil and water that had passed by was only tens of thousands of taels of silver.!

Qiu Ba and the others were enlightened and suddenly felt that they were too stupid. They usually drank soldiers and had empty salary and were worried about labor. They worked hard all year round, but they didn't see much cash. It was the limit to be able to get a few thousand taels of silver. And so

The method of eating is not only despicable, but also at any time there is a risk of impeachment from the commander of the army. In addition, the deduction of military pay in the border town can easily lead to accidents. If you accidentally cause a mutiny, you will never know how to die.

It turns out that oil and water can be harvested like this. It turns out that eating soldiers and empty wages is such a low-level business. Purchasing is a huge profit.

Of course, procurement not only has enough oil and water, but also has a great boost to the morale of the military. After all, the officers and soldiers are at ease when using the firearms from the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau. They don’t have to worry about the explosion at every few days. The salary can also be paid in full, so they will not be able to

Make officers and soldiers feel dissatisfied and don’t have to worry about lack of morale.

Under such circumstances, these people have become debt collectors. They ask the court for money in various names, but don’t give money? It’s easy to say if you don’t give money. You can bear the consequences. The soldiers are in the desert, and many people can’t stand the cold winter.

In the weather, the jackets distributed by the court were not enough to keep warm, and the quilts of the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau were filled with cotton and fluff in the boots, which were both comfortable and warm. Now many of the brothers have been frostbite, so they are asked to fight?

Originally, a great victory was a great victory, but the lot was so big that the court suddenly had a headache.

If the soldiers are out of seclusion, it is obviously unreasonable if you do not meet their requests. If you are reasonable, you should also express it.

But it means it is silver, and it is a large sum of money. The Ministry of Revenue has converted it. If all of them are to meet the requirements of Qiu Ba, the court will at least issue more than eight million taels of silver. This is just

The number of this year is that many of the things are consumables, the number will not be more than five million in the coming year.

The court has opened up the supply of food and supplies, and now it still needs so much money to spend in. Not to mention that the treasury has no money, even if it has money, it will not be ruined like this for you.

Give it or not?

The discussion in the court was very fierce. The Minister of War was given the utmost strength. Liang Teng, the Minister of Revenue, had an ambiguous attitude. Instead, the Minister of Rites jumped out and scolded him fiercely. The cabinet was also swaying because Yang Yiqing was

Those who know military affairs, of course, also know the situation in the border town. The military horses, weapons, firearms and even many military supplies provided by the court are indeed unsightly. These things are usually used in passes and fortresses, but

After leaving the gates, Yang Yiqing felt it was very mysterious to rely on these things to kill people.

But this situation has not been improved, and there is no prescription for improvement at all. Those muskets that explode with a shot, and swords that roll the blades after a single knife. Behind these, there is a very complete one.

The link to interests cannot be touched by one person.

Now, the border town has proposed another method, which is to simply change supply to purchasing. This method is feasible, but even if Yang Yiqing sells himself, he can't get so much money.

As for the Minister of War, the Minister of War strongly agreed, on the one hand, it was a factor of interest, and on the other hand, it was also because he did not want to take the blame. As the Minister of War, he also knew a little about the situation in the border town. Qiu Ba and others were not just a threat, but the reality was also

Indeed, once the army is defeated, perhaps the cabinet's officials can still shirk responsibility. He, the Minister of War, cannot be blamed, so in order to protect his evening, he must strongly agree to do so. After all, the money is not given by the Ministry of War, but the responsibility is

In the Ministry of War.

The result of the discussion is that it is time to buy some, and the question to be discussed next is, where does the money come from?

Although the inner treasury allocated a lot of silver, the total amount of silver was only more than three million left. Apart from leaving a sum of silver for emergencies, there were not many that could be used.

So, everyone's eyes naturally fell on Liang Teng, the Minister of Revenue.

The Ministry of Revenue is your leader. Since that's the case, the money will definitely be handled by you.

Liang Teng came up with a solution to the problem - issuing bonds.

As soon as this method was proposed, it immediately encountered many doubts. The court issued bonds to allow wealthy families and nobles to buy them. In order to arouse everyone's enthusiasm, of course, the interest must be considered. The Ministry of Revenue will use five points, which means you will put a hundred points.

Two silver will be given to the court. The court will pay you five taels of silver every year, and then return the principal to three years later.

The main question comes from two places. One is that you can really raise money by doing this. The other is that you are happy to borrow money now. What should you do if you pay it back in the future?
