Chapter seven hundred and ninetieth: bestow on the dragon robe
The war is about to begin.
All the yamen were worried, and many officials couldn't help but sigh, especially those from Jiangnan, who were inevitably studying books and returning home, so that their families could try their best to go north, and those who could go north would go north, and those who could sell their land would be sold.
The Ministry of Rites was even more messy. The emperor's will was to ask the Ministry of Rites to come up with a personal choice and go to arrest King Ning. First, the military and then the soldiers were not moved so quickly. Even if they started moving now, it would not be a month or two.
Time is not enough, so the court must make a gesture and send an envoy to read out the emperor's will. It is best to capture King Ning to Beijing. If you can't take it, you will be even more polite.
The problem is that everyone knows that when you go to Nanchang, you will die without life. King Ning is not a fool, so you will definitely fight to the death. Whoever goes to Nanchang will die, of course no one volunteers.
Li Dongyang came down from the court and didn't even go to the cabinet. The person who came directly was the Ministry of Rites. The candidates must be finalized as soon as possible, but after picking them, they couldn't find a suitable person. If you ask someone to go for such a scam, you can't ask someone to go.
, But it makes people hate them all their lives. Of course, the parties involved must have only resentment in the underworld, but they also have children, disciples, relatives and friends. They are doing this in this officialdom, and no one has a few backstages. You, Li Dongyang, are the Cabinet Grand Secretary.
You can't push people into the fire pit.
Li Dongyang had no choice but to mobilize several leaders of the Ministry of Rites, and preached the principles of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and also talked about the difficulties of the court. Of course, he could not help but say a few words, even if King Ning was brave, he would not be able to say anything.
The words of comforting the army without killing the envoys in battle are just the same. If anyone is willing to go, there will be a little danger, but the future is very bright, fame and fortune. After going, as long as you survive the disaster, fame and fortune will be free.
Profits are all rolling in.
result……
Everyone coughed, dull, dazed, turned a blind eye, and everyone understood the great principles. But the difficulties of the court made everyone sympathize with, who should be sympathetic to their own difficulties? We studied hard for decades, and after becoming an official, it was another step.
How difficult is it to climb up? Why do you want to die?
Someone had an idea. He said: "Mr. Li, since he was going to Nanchang, he didn't have to let the people from the capital leave. After all, King Ning is a vassal king. Those who want to go must have a noble status, otherwise they will be in line with etiquette.
Why not let Nanjing..."
This idea is bad enough, but Li Dongyang's eyes opened and he immediately understood what it meant. The biggest problem here is level. You have to have a certain level to go. Even if the Ministry of Rites sends a chief and a doctor to go there, it will look small.
After all, Li Dongyang and the Minister of the Secretariat were all in the department. Li Dongyang is also a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, but there are also people with high levels. Isn’t there anybody in Nanjing?
Are there any ministers and ministers in the Ministry of Rites?
There are also six ministries in Nanjing, but these six ministries are mostly filled with unsatisfactory officials. The court wants to demote officials. Generally, they are demoted to Nanjing. Don’t think that if you demoted there, you will lose your level. In fact, that’s not the case.
In Nanjing, there is also a Ministry of Rites and a Minister of Internal Affairs. These people have no background, are not very satisfied with their officialdom, and have no real power. They are dispensable to the court. What if they choose personnel from Nanjing?
Li Dongyang smiled slightly and then dismissed everyone. Although he didn't say anything, he was already calculating.
It is not just the Ministry of Rites. Liu Daxia from the Ministry of War was also summoning the officials from the yamen to start preparations. The army must be moving. The army in Jiangnan must start gathering. The new army must be ready to go, and food and grass must be prepared. The Ministry of War is actually the army.
The Logistics and Organization Department naturally cannot be idle now. It formulates regulations, discusses candidates, and liaises with various places to coordinate various military and horses. These all need to be prepared as soon as possible.
Liu Daxia was obviously not much easier than Li Dongyang. As soon as the war started, the Ministry of War had a great responsibility. If something happened, it would be a big deal. If there was a chaos, the court would definitely not be able to escape.
However, there are still differences in the ministry and officials are shirking their responsibilities towards some things, which also annoyed Liu Daxia.
After all, the money is fought in war. How to draw the charter of the Ministry of War depends mainly on how much money the Ministry of Revenue can get. Last time, the new army put in a charter, saying that if the new army sends troops, it is necessary
The equipment, muskets, ammunition, supplies, food, etc. consume at least 250,000 taels of silver per month, 250,000 taels of silver. This is a trick, and this is not included in the food and fodder. If it is added, it will be supplemented.
The cost of transportation in Qi is mostly doubled. In the eyes of the masters of the Ministry of War, this is similar to robbery. How could it cost so much money to raise soldiers in the Ming Dynasty? Two million military households in the world come from the court every year.
I can't ask for 100,000 taels of silver. The 100,000 border troops in the entire Xuanfu have only a year of more than 200,000. How many new troops are there? Isn't this a robbery?
The Ministry of War naturally hopes to cut the price, but some people disagree, believing that the war is about to start and the money must not be stingy. If it delays the major rebellion, it will not be fun.
The food, equipment, and various preparations for hundreds of thousands of troops were a headache when I thought about it. The Ministry of Revenue was anxiously waiting for the preliminary expenses proposed by the Ministry of War. Everyone knew that the need to suppress the rebellion was necessary.
The Ministry of Revenue obtained the money, but when the Ministry of War reported a rough figure, the Ministry of Revenue suddenly started to scream and scold.
"This is simply a joke. The expenses of Tumu Fort back then were only 1.3 million yuan, but the Ministry of War was a big talk, which actually cost 8.4 million yuan. Although the prices have risen a little,
It's too outrageous."
"That's right, this is not a war. I looked like I was smashing people with silver. Are the people from the Ministry of War too much with Qiu Ba and the people who are involved in the Qiu Ba and the nature of Qiu Ba and asking for money?"
The Ministry of Revenue cannot open a deal, almost always scolding. The dispute has hit the cabinet, and the cabinet is also dumbfounded. Every yamen is now talking about its own difficulties, and everyone says that they can't get through it. The cabinet is also worried for a moment.
If there is no development, the cabinet will be held the next day.
When the men were deeply disgusted with the upcoming war, the merchants' eyes were red in Jubao Building.
The gentry, which was the most damaged by the war, once the war broke out, the land of the gentry was affected by the war, would be like no harvest and no harvest in a year. But for the merchants, it was another matter. In fact, at the beginning, the merchants
At first we were afraid that the war would affect their business, but later, some people found that once the war broke out, a large amount of supplies needed to be raised, and the reserves in the treasury were far from enough. It is said that defense should be strengthened in the border towns.
Moreover, the court has vaguely revealed that this time the rebellion is suppressed, the court does not intend to requisition people's needs.
What does this mean? It means that if the imperial court does not requisition it, it must be purchased on the market. A large number of army of clothing, iron tools, chariots and horses in the south, as well as mountainous arrows, gunpowder, horse materials, these singles
It is impossible to provide a situation based on the use of the officials of the court, and it is time to make a fortune.
Many merchants were like headless flies. Early the next morning, a news began to spread in Jubao Building. Liu Chengfeng, Duke of Lian Guo, had already written a letter saying that he would set up a military military procurement bureau and directly put it on the sign.
In Jubao Building, many of the supplies needed by the army may be directly listed and purchased in Jubao Building.
The merchants went crazy all of a sudden. The various supplies of hundreds of thousands of troops were all astronomical. If anyone could get a piece of the pie, it would be a profitable business.
For the first time, merchants discovered that war could become an opportunity to make a fortune.
And in the mansion of Duke Lian, eunuchs arrived in the palace early in the morning.
It's Mao hour now, the door has just opened in the palace, and the fog is shining. Before the lights on Liu Chengfeng's mansion have started, people suddenly came from the palace, making the people in the house a little hurry. Liu Chengfeng and his three wives came out in dresses together.
However, Wen Chenxi was about to give birth and was inconvenient to salute. She just said a blessing and ordered someone to send him back to rest. Of course, the eunuch who came did not dare to take advantage of him at Duke Lian's mansion. She first greeted Liu Chengfeng warmly.
, then coughed and said seriously: "Liang Guo Duke Liu Chengfeng, the family came to send the python robe according to the emperor's oral order. His Majesty said that although Duke Lian Guo is a third-class duke, he has made great achievements.
All the evil men in the court punished the court and all the brave men who rewarded them. This time you made great contributions, how can the palace not reward you? This python robe is here to show your strength today." Repeat the emperor's original words
Once again, the eunuch smiled again and said, "Duke Lian Guo, the foreign surname who was given a python robe, is the first one, Zhu Neng, the hero of Jingnan, that was the one who wore it when he was buried. He only wore it when he was buried. The emperor treats you
It's so generous and enviable."
Unexpectedly, this eunuch actually knew some allusions. Speaking of which, only Liu Chengfeng could wear this four-clawed dragon robe after his death. Zhu Neng was buried when he was admitted to the coffin because he was given a gift from the King of Dongping after his death.
Liu Chengfeng seems to be one level higher than Zhu Neng.
It was a good thing to get the reward, and Liu Chengfeng was immediately happy. He smiled and asked someone to give the eunuch a reward. He then received the reward and asked his family to put the python robe in the flower hall to observe it for everyone. Naturally, everyone could see it.
Not only Princess Taikang saw it as tight as usual, just a python robe. She saw too many dragon robes in the palace, and she had long been aesthetically exhausted... Chapter 2 sent to, classmates, the moon, the tiger
