"Scabies disease! It's just the people in the Navy who have been starving them all these years. They make a fuss at the slightest sign of trouble!" Yang Tinghe threw the document in his hand onto the copy: "It's just a few barbarians fighting the autumn wind. This
As a bastard, seeing that the imperial court has become more affluent recently, he has learned to cry about poverty!"
"The navy is simply a bottomless pit. There are so many places on the nine sides that cost money. Fortunately, they came up with this reason. Even if it is a Japanese pirate invasion, it is more reliable than a large-scale invasion by this "Spanish" fleet. These
People, for the sake of money, you don’t need to be polite, righteous, honest or shameful!”
Next to Yang Tinghe, another bachelor with white beard and hair said with some disdain that Jiubian did not have this method of asking for money. However, they were really resisting the Tatars. Occasionally, they would make false reports and everyone would turn a blind eye.
Just close your eyes and it will be over. Those people in the navy are really poor and crazy. Even if they say a thousand words, the court will not throw money at the sea.
"Speaking of Japanese pirates, it seems that in the past few months, there has been no news of Japanese pirate attacks in the various administrative envoys in the south!" Yang Tinghe wrinkled his face every day, suddenly thinking of this, and asked.
"It seems not!" The bachelor next to him was stunned for a moment: "Jie Zhi, do you suspect that this is because they changed the news of the Japanese pirate invasion and changed their identity to deceive the court?"
Yang Tinghe smiled, but did not answer. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "The heads of Japanese pirates are easy to identify, but when they fight, a few people from the Ministry of War will know this kind of clumsiness at a glance."
They probably won't be able to use this method. Forget it, let's write a letter. We don't have any money to give them, but we can't just give them some encouragement and let the coastal guards be prepared. However, we really need to have some
Military merit, exchange for your head!"
"Over there with the Supervisor of Ceremonies..."
Yang Tinghe pondered for a moment and said that it was the Chief of Ceremonies. This meant that he wanted to inform His Majesty. Recently, His Majesty has changed from his normal behavior in the past few years and has become more diligent. All ministers in the court are rushing to tell each other, but
, for the cabinet, this may not be a good thing: "Your Majesty has a lot of things to do all day long. If these small matters are sent to the Supervisor of Ceremonies, when His Majesty sees it, it will be said that our vision is a bit narrow, and we are bothering with these big things like sesame seeds and mung beans."
he!"
"Just keep the file in the cabinet, but there is no need to send it to the Supervisor of Ceremonies!"
"That's right!" The old bachelor nodded and walked out. It seemed that there was no need to worry His Majesty about such a small matter.
It's a pity that Yang Tinghe forgot whether this urgent document came from the inn six hundred miles away or was delivered to him through some other way. Because of this small oversight, everything went smoothly for him.
, for the first time, it left a shadow in Zhu Houzhao's heart. This shadow was even big enough to directly affect his future. But at this moment, he was completely unaware and took everything for granted.
The document did not go through the inn to rush, but through the Jinyiwei channel. Since it was through the Jinyiwei channel, it is undoubtedly a joke that the cabinet wanted to hide the matter from Zhu Houzhao. The time it took Zhu Houzhao to get the urgent document was no longer than
The cabinet was late, and the documents he received were not just about the emergency. The experiences and profits of the Sihai fleet since it went to sea were all reported to him by Qian Wubing. Qian Wubing knew that,
Perhaps even Zhu Houzhao would not attach much importance to this threat from the sea, but Zhu Houzhao would definitely attach great importance to the profits that the fleet will bring back.
Zhu Houzhao was waiting for the cabinet to take the initiative to bring up the matter.
For Jiubian, Zhu Houzhao spent money like water, and he had no intention of parting with it. In just over half a year, he lost more than ten million taels of silver without blinking an eye. But as far as the cabinet is concerned, His Majesty
They feel a little uncomfortable spending money like this. In the past, Jiubian only spent three to two million taels every year, which was enough to maintain. What your Majesty allocated this year is enough to match what he spent in the past three or four years.
How can this be done?
Of course, for the stability of the border areas, the effect of allocating this money will be immediate. It is not that the cabinet cannot see it, but that is not what they are worried about. They are afraid that everything will become a rule, and the imperial court will only earn less than 30 million taels a year.
Income, how many flowers can you afford to spend like this? Moreover, if you spend it this year, you won’t spend it next year. What do the generals and soldiers think? Who can stand such a way of spending money?
Therefore, almost every time the money was allocated for military expenses, Zhu Houzhao had to compete with the cabinet. Finally, Zhu Houzhao also knew that the cabinet was out of public interest, not because he did not want to see some poor people after he confiscated Liu Jin.
I would like to give advice on the appearance of sudden wealth, but after many times, it always becomes a bit boring.
He planned, this time, I will let you bring it up first, and then I will push the boat forward. These cabinets will finally say nothing. You feel sorry for the money of the imperial court. This is a good thing, but my four-sea ship
Team, the money we brought back here is much more than what we have to spend. You will always settle this account!
He did not expect that Qian Wubing would hand over these experience gains to him. This was the right thing to do. Qian Wubing did not receive a salary from the cabinet, and the cabinet did not have a member of the Sihai Fleet. Why should he give this to him?
He hasn't even copied a copy of his "secret" stuff to the cabinet. Is he holding on after he's full and waiting for the cabinet to show off?
So, sometimes, just a thought can change the world, a butterfly born from a small misunderstanding may not necessarily stir up majesty, but may also be a huge wave!
The first day passed and there was no movement from the cabinet.
The next day passed, and there was no movement from the cabinet.
On the third day, Zhu Houzhao, who had been looking through the folders sent by the young eunuch for a long time, still did not see what he wanted to see. His evil fire, which had been suppressed for a long time, could no longer bear it.
"Zhang Yong!"
"The slave is here!"
"It seems that the son of the Marquis of Dingyuan is working as an errand in my Sihai fleet!"
"Your Majesty has such a good memory, this servant has forgotten this matter!" Zhang Yong smiled submissively: "Your Majesty, do you want to see him? I will summon him right now!"
"What did I do when I saw him!?" Zhu Houzhao had no impression of this man. He was just mentioned in Qian Wubing's documents: "You sent someone to preach to him and tell him that Mr. Yang in the cabinet has always treated Dingyuan Marquis.
High praise. I have been out for a while. I don’t know if he has visited Mr. Yang. Marquis Dingyuan is my great pillar. I still need to understand this etiquette. If I haven’t had time to visit Mr. Yang, today,
