Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Three: Please Battle Blood Book
Xu Qian made a long speech and finally summarized it: "Maybe the troubles of Japanese pirates are not worth mentioning, but the harms of Japanese pirates are shaken by the foundation of the country, just like the troubles of Tatars, perhaps it is just invading all sides and it is difficult to penetrate deep into the hinterland, but the imperial court has built defenses
From Shanhaiguan to Xuanfu, how much fertile land was abandoned, and how much money and grain were spent to build the city wall. The Tatars and the tile thorns went south to invade for profit, and the Japanese pirates attacked Jiangnan for profit. When the Ming Dynasty could not give them enough deterrence,
They pay enough costs so that they can be as if no one is in, they can burn, kill, rob and plunder wealth. In this way, the number of Japanese pirates that will harass Jiangnan will only increase in the future. When the thief is growing, I will be in the Ming Dynasty
If we go to the fight, it will not be so easy. Today, we can solve the problem of recruiting 30,000 young and strong men and spending 100,000 yuan in grain. Do we have to wait until we spend ten times or a hundred times the effort in the future to solve it?"
"Why do officials, monks and lay people in Jiangnan have to be named and expressed their love? There are tens of thousands of people involved? This is because the Japanese pirates not only kill people and invade borders, but more importantly, they also have suffered a lot from several provinces in Jiangnan.
In other seas, merchants along the coast did not dare to easily trudge goods out of the city, which led to high prices on the coast. Farmers did not dare to farm easily, which made the land deserted and craftsmen moved inward, causing the wages in various provinces to plummet. Ordinary people,
Then I was frightened and uneasy. If I don’t know tomorrow, if this continues, the thousands of miles of land along the coast will sooner or later become scorched earth. My Ming Dynasty lost thousands of miles of fertile land for no reason, which will definitely affect taxes. The officials only think that the treasury income and expenditure are uneven, but this
Isn't the big tent calculated? Will a deficit be better than a year of deficits? If the court cannot make up its mind and hopes for the people of the royal army? They will be disappointed first, then despair, and finally resentment,
Now the imperial court takes advantage of the people's hearts to move troops. Will it be better than when people's hearts are in the future? Let's say this today. Let's think about it. But the ugly words are ahead. Whoever blocked the suppression of the Japanese?
It is the enemy of thousands of officials, gentry, monks, nuns, and merchants who kill their fathers. Your words and deeds today will soon be passed down to Jiangnan. The hatred of the family will be irreconcilable!"
Chongwen Palace fell into a silence like death again. If Yang Chen stood up just now, many officials who supported the pacification of the Japanese were stopped, but now Xu Qian stood up, he made these people who opposed pacification of the Japanese were afraid to speak.
It's right.
This hatred is irreconcilable! Although this sentence is a bit heavy, officials who are officials are unwilling to offend others unless they have to. Now Xie Qian has stood up, and officials from all over the south of the Yangtze River have also stood up, gentry, monks and lay people, etc.
They all stood up. In a sense, if you speak loudly, the anger of tens of thousands or even tens of millions of people will be vented on you. Now their confession may be a bus tomorrow
Let me write a letter and impeach you together. Who can guarantee that you will always be glorious? It is common for officials to be transferred. If the future is in the hands of others, it will not be so easy to talk to.
People always have to leave a way out for themselves, so why bother offending a large number of people for the sake of their anger today?
Even Yang Chen obediently stopped at this time. If he continued to talk, he would almost certain that Jiangnan would be filled with grievances in a few days, and the finger of grievances would definitely be directed at him.
Mao Ji had already had a bad premonition. He glanced at Yang Chen and knew that Yang Chen was powerless, so he clearly wanted to give up.
Now for Mao Ji, the question is no longer about whether to pacify the Japanese or not, but about his face. He is the backbone of opposing pacifiers, and his words have been released, but has been opposed by so many people. If he does not continue to hold on,
Isn’t it a shame to lose prestige?
It seems that it is indeed Mao Ji's turn to appear. Mao Ji came out step by step and said slowly: "There is some truth from Editor Xu."
A sentence that was neither salty nor light gave Xu Qian a little encouragement. As for what Xu Qian's words make sense and what is not, he has no way to know.
Mao Ji smiled and continued, "But to suppress the Japanese, we still need to make plans for a long-term plan. In my opinion, we must at least prepare for the suppression of the Japanese. What preparations are there? First: Before the troops move, food and grass will go first, and the Ministry of Revenue
, it always takes time to raise money and mobilize food and money..."
He was smart. Since he could not directly object, he simply opposed it, which was nothing more than spreading his hands and telling Xu Qian that the treasury had no money and food.
Xu Qian was not polite and said, "Dare you ask me how much time it takes?"
Mao Ji smiled and said, "This is not accurate. This year, there are constant disasters in various places. Your Majesty has wisely reduced many taxes. Although the Ministry of Revenue tries its best to raise the money, it will take some time."
Xu Qian asked in a deep sense: "How long does it take?"
This is clearly not just not hitting the wall or looking back.
Mao Ji felt a little angry and said bluntly: "It can be as many as one or two years, and it can be as few as half a year..."
Xu Qian couldn't help but smile and said, "Sir, you're too ambiguous. After a year or two, only God knows what things will change. The officials are well aware of some inside information. The so-called "most one or two years" in the court, and at least
One year is actually just a delay. As a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, don’t you know?”
This is a bit too much. It is simply to take off Mao Ji's old face. Mao Ji said angrily: "How dare you, a Hanlin editor, say this to me?"
Unexpectedly, Xu Qian was more righteous than him and said seriously: "Sir, this is a bad thing. Today's court discussion is Your Majesty's great kindness. Opening up the road to speech is that if Your Majesty has done something wrong, someone with knowledge can still impeach it.
Refute, and Your Majesty is humble and often accepts it. Why can’t the adults accept it? Could it be that even the emperor can make mistakes, but the adults cannot make mistakes? The adults are the Grand Secretary, and I think they are not a saint, but the official heard that even the saints are
Occasionally, there are mistakes, so that you can realize the mistakes and improve this sentence. The subordinate just said that pointing out a few mistakes in the adults' mouths has become bold and dare to contradict the adults?"
The ministers in the hall looked at each other. Xu Qian was really bold. Although what Xu Qian said really makes sense, the emperor can make mistakes, and the saint can make mistakes. Can the cabinet bachelor not make mistakes? The emperor must accept the praise of the censors. The saint makes mistakes.
I examine myself three times and correct my mistakes by myself. Compared with the previous two, this Mr. Mao is too arrogant.
Mao Jidun felt abrupt, and somehow, every time he saw Xu Qian refuting him, he was angry. The demeanor he usually pretended to be gone immediately. He couldn't help but secretly warn himself that he should not be able to reconcile.
Xu Qian has an unnecessary verbal dispute. Once he gets caught up, no matter whether he is right or wrong, he will eventually suffer.
Mao Ji is not a fool, Xu Qian is a new Hanlin, a young man. Young people can speak rudely and make a little unrestrained and nonsense. Even if they are just messing around, at most everyone says that he doesn't understand the rules and doesn't know how to advance or retreat. But Mao
Ji Tangtang, a Grand Secretary, can't learn from Xu Qian. It's like a young man can do something extraordinary, but if the elderly also learn, they will only be ridiculed as disrespectful in the end.
Mao Jidi reluctantly smiled. Since he didn't intend to get involved, he would talk about the serious matter and said: "At the Ministry of Revenue, I did check the accounts. I really didn't have enough money and food, so I can only make a long-term plan."
Xu Qian said: "Sir, the national treasury can spend some money. Take out half of the power, and the other half can be supplemented by the inner treasury. This is what Your Majesty promised personally. Think about it, even the emperor is willing to save money and take out the inner treasury.
Why can't the ministers not come to pacify the Japanese? Your Majesty set an example. No matter how difficult the Ministry of Revenue is, is it still more difficult than the officials and people in Jiangnan who suffered from the Japanese suffering?"
Mao Ji couldn't help but feel silenced and said with a tiger's face: "Actually, there is no way to squeeze in, but to pacify the Japanese, the morale of the three armies is now low, especially because His Majesty wants to issue an order to sack the provincial and provincial garrisons. Now the army is in a low spirit, and we still talk about it.
What to suppress the Japanese? Therefore, in my humble opinion, if you want to suppress the Japanese, you must not clean up the garrison. Instead, the emperor should issue a reward. If the soldiers are so motivated, and then another decree is issued, the Japanese pirates will be destroyed in the blink of an eye.
”
Mao Ji's words are obviously a fool. Anyway, I'll fool you first and wait for everything later. Especially the purging and laying out the garrison stations will never be done. Once they are laid off, the court will recruit soldiers and raise soldiers. This is the most important feature of the garrison station system.
It is military farming, that is, self-sufficiency, and will not waste a grain of food in the country. It usually farms and is an officer or a soldier when needed. However, once the military system is changed, it means that the treasury will continue to 'bleed' in the future. This is
Mao Ji, who had long regarded himself as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, would never tolerate it.
Xu Qian sighed and said, "Mr. Mao, if the soldiers are so motivated, can they calm the Japanese down, right?"
Mao Ji naturally couldn't shoot himself in the foot: "That's right."
Xu Qian said slowly: "Then the officials told the lord that the soldiers were not only full of morale, but were already full of righteous indignation. The Warriors Camp, the Five Major Camps, the 12 Guards and the 300 generals of the Guards near the Capital Capital
I have already submitted a letter of blood to fight, please read it!"
Xu Qian was prepared and took out a thick memorial book from his sleeve. It was normal for Hanlin to enter the palace to carry memorial book. Everyone did not pay too much attention. Now Xu Qian told everyone that this is the time to ask for a blood letter.
There is something going on today, it’s a little late, but it’s finally updated. Finally, please ask for some monthly tickets. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better and faster!)
