eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 320 Patrol
In essence, Zhu Houzhao is not someone who is willing to start a war. If he can achieve national reconciliation with a gentle policy, then he is willing.

But since Tumubao, although the Ming Dynasty had a small victory against the Tatars, it still lost more than it won, and the border areas continued to shrink. During the Chenghua period, it was still able to control Hetao and Liaodong, and then quickly retracted.

There is a common sense in military and political theory that the weak are not qualified to stand and win peace.

Only by reminding the Tatars of the military might of the Ming Dynasty a hundred years ago can others take it seriously when they say things like border peace.

Moreover, the little Tatar prince is not a mediocre lord. He is trying his best to unify Mongolia. Even if he comes to seek peace at this time, he must be ambitious because he wants to gain power first, and even wants to rule the Central Plains if he has the opportunity.

So he had no choice, and Emperor Zhengde also won a battle in history, otherwise the situation at the border would be even more severe.

Let him come now, and he will implement it more thoroughly, either for peace or to kill them.If you can't spend money and spend small money, things won't be done well, and money will be wasted.

So the 100 million, you have to be willing.

As soon as the emperor said this, the cabinet, the military aircraft department, and the six ministries and officials were all calm. If a smart person would know, this has already been decided.

There was a moment of silence in Fengtian Temple,
Zhu Houzhao continued: "One million taels may seem like a lot, but this year Ningxia Town will purchase 100 more war horses, and each horse needs 20 taels of silver. For this item alone, it will cost 40 taels of silver! More importantly, , I’ve heard that after a few hands of money go out from me, half of the money that is actually used for repurposing would be good.”

This was said softly, but in fact there was a hidden murderous intent, and all the ministers from top to bottom knelt down.

"I, did I make a mistake?"

The emperor's inquiry in this way actually represented a kind of affirmation.

In fact, the so-called administrative costs usually include these. It looks like the country has a lot of money, but in fact it is exploited layer by layer, and in the end, the key points are far less than that number.

Yang Yiqing said, "The so-called one porridge and one meal should be thought of as hard-won, half a thread and half a sliver of constant memory is difficult. The imperial court's taxes are all the people's fat and people's anointing. Your Majesty, the three sides in the northwest are self-serving. If there is greed for both, but there is discovery , no matter how far or close you are, I will never forgive you lightly!"

Zhu Houzhao has a kind of anger and helplessness towards the corruption of officials.But that doesn't mean he'll admit it.Because the more you recognize it, the more serious it becomes.

"The cabinet, after the great court meeting, the officials of the world will be issued. In this great court meeting, the court discusses major issues related to the country and the people, and the silver allocated is also related to whether the national policy of the court can be implemented smoothly. Officials and subordinates everywhere are corrupt, but anyone who dares to take money from the imperial court will not be lightly forgiven!"

"I also know that when so much money comes out, everyone's eyes are hot, and even honorable officials want to pay attention to this money. Today, our monarchs and ministers will make it clear here, no matter who it is! You are not allowed to reach out to this money in private. Satisfy your own greed. This is the case with the supervisor of ceremonies, Liu Jin, you have to take care of your own people!"

The emperor spoke harshly.

Liu Jin's heart trembled, and he knelt down and said, "I will obey His Majesty's will. The people in the palace are not so courageous."

"But they are greedy!" Zhu Houzhao mercilessly said, "I treat this matter equally regardless of internal or external officials. Yang Aiqing,"

"Chen is here!"

"I give money to people and horses to people in the northwest, and the heavy burden of resetting is also on your shoulders. I will hand over the 100 million taels of silver directly to you. You have to be optimistic about it. If it fails, you and I said that the silver taels were embezzled, but I don't accept this truth. Do you understand?"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I understand the importance. Come to think of it, everyone in the Ming Dynasty, from the royal family to the nobles, down to the common people, will know His Majesty's ambition to rejuvenate the world, and there will definitely be no unfilial people to open their mouths here."

Zhu Houzhao did not believe this kind of verbal assurance.

"Where is the censor of the left deputy capital?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the old minister is here!"

This is an old official who is as hard as a rock. There are many people in this world trying to gain fame, but Zhang Maozhi's integrity is still real.

Sometimes Zhu Houzhao was curious, so he would find a few Jin Yiwei and tell them to go and see how the old man lived.

It turned out that this person was indeed an upright official. After all, there had been rumors of entertaining guests with tributes before this promotion.For such a person, Zhu Houzhao sometimes has a headache, and he is reluctant to kill, no, killing is annoying.

For example, the matter of him chasing after the birth of the prince will be played even if he dies.

But sometimes it works wonders.

"In the 17th year of Hongzhi, I ordered the establishment of the Shaofu. You went to Zhejiang with the household department to supervise, and the results were very good. This time, I want to appoint you to supervise whether the whereabouts of the million silver taels is legal. Do you dare to accept it?"

wow.

The old man Zhang Mao rattled his official robes, as if in a mental orgasm, "I read the books of sages, and what I did was the great Ming Dynasty! Your Majesty entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, and I only die!"

In fact, Zhang Mao is particularly motivated to do this. Firstly, it is in line with his values, and secondly, it is actually a kind of honor.

Everyone wants something, he doesn't want wealth, he doesn't want power, what he cares about is fame.

The emperor is a Mingjun, and the Mingjun uses him to prevent him from attacking, how will the history books record him?
So Zhang Mao doesn't care how people in the world slander him, he won the name of the world!
"Since that's the case, I intend to recruit temporary partners from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Jinyiwei to implement the inspection system. I don't care about the rest for the time being. This is a matter of national policy. I just want to see if anyone has eaten the bear's heart and leopard How dare you reach out here!"

This is Emperor Zhengde.

Fengtian Temple is full of old people who have experienced the Hongzhi Dynasty.

Everyone knows the character of Emperor Hongzhi.Now, times have really changed.

Making a temporary new arrangement with such a tone, such a tone, and even a little willful temper... In fact, it is somewhat immature.

But they were also people who knew the emperor well.

When is the emperor immature?
I'm afraid, emotion is also part of the wrist, it is to show everyone that a rational emperor has shown a lot of irrationality in this matter.

in other words,

Really cut my head off,

And don't blame me when you cut off your head,

Because I have already told you that labor and management have lost their temper.

Jin Yiwei Mu Bin, Mao Yuwen, and Han Ziren also came.

At this time, Min Gui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment also said, "Your Majesty, since we are partners, do you need the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to act together?"

"No need." Zhu Houzhao refused without even thinking about it, "I helped the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Dali Temple to sentence. If someone stretches out this hand, he will commit a capital crime. In short, the words have been clearly and clearly stated. If anyone If you don't give me face, when you are not allowed to ask for mercy, don't say that I don't give you face."

At the end of the re-set topic, I didn't expect such a thing to be discussed, and many people didn't think of it.

As a result, the matter of how to implement military settlements in the Hetao area was ignored to a certain extent. After all, it was 100 million taels. According to the usual practice, you can get a little bit...

Regardless of the result, the imperial court announced that the first day of the court meeting was very smooth and successful. The ministers expressed their opinions, and the emperor listened patiently and chose the best. Everything looked peaceful.

After the dispersal of the court, the officials of various ministries were unwilling to go home, but gathered together again.

Leaving aside other people, Yang Shangyi, Zhou Shangwen and others related to Futao all gathered in the Yang Mansion. The emperor allocated the silver, but did not say how to use or distribute the silver.So the specific implementation is actually in the hands of Yang Yiqing.

This is the emperor's habit all the time. Set the direction and execute it. As long as you get it done without causing any trouble, you can receive the reward in the Qianqing Palace.This actually puts very high demands on officials who directly obey the emperor.

Just like Wang Jia who went to Fujian back then, Yang Yiqing also had a heavy burden on his shoulders.

Therefore, at night, people came and went in the Yang Mansion, and the lights were brightly lit. None of the officials related to the complex could go to the Goulan early to listen to the music, and no one could go home and sleep peacefully.

Only Zhang Mao was invited by Yang Yiqing, and the others came by themselves.

"...There are two things right now, and the old man thinks that we should do it first. One is to suppress tricks. The imperial court has established a policy to suppress tricks in spring, so I will actively mobilize troops to attack when I return to the northwest. Yang and Tuesday are all For a general who has fought a hundred battles, this matter is not a problem. But when the army sets out, it needs military pay and dry food."

When Yang Yiqing spoke, he turned to Zhang Mao who was sitting on his left.

The old man's expression was stiff, and he stroked his beard and said, "Mr. Yang Ge has a heavy responsibility to cover the accounts, and the money is worth the money. The old man only needs to see the accounts."

"good."

"Where are the two generals?"

Both Yang Shangyi and Zhou Shangwen replied: "It is imperative."

Of course, although Yang Shangyi is the general soldier of Ningxia, he does not have the strong army in Zhou Shangwen's hands.It's just that how to carry out the suppression strategy is a matter of specific strategies, and we can discuss it in the barracks.

"The second thing is war horses." Yang Yiqing turned to Taipu Siqing Wang and said, "In the first year of Zhengde, the imperial court will expand the cavalry by [-], and the number of officials and herdsmen is limited. I know, but even if you exchange tea for horses, please accept them. The Taipu Temple sent the war horses to Ningxia as soon as possible, and the silver required for them was also paid out of the funds allocated by the imperial court."

Without horses, everything is on paper.Anyway, he's rich now, don't be afraid.

"Please don't worry, Mr. Hui'an Garden will recover more than half of it this year. In addition to Anding Garden, the war horses raised in the two upper gardens will be in the northwest first."

"Thank you."

Although Yang Yiqing was under a lot of pressure, he actually felt refreshed, because at least there were not so many strange people and messy things in the court.

In the current situation, even if someone has some selfish intentions, they will definitely not dare to trip him up on the surface. The emperor supports him, which is the greatest help.As for the person who puts sniper in the dark, Yang Yiqing has been in the officialdom for 30 years, has he met less?

When it comes to specific implementation, the details can be discussed in a macro perspective.But no matter how much, Zhu Houzhao's mission as emperor has been completed.

At this time, he has already appeared in Yongshou Palace. After tasting the taste that day, he will always remember it for a while, especially when it is easy to flash images in his mind at night.

The joy of this fate is really incomparable, and the first subject of being unique in romantic affairs——I really have a harem, but I still feel different.

Most importantly, he has always had a knot in his heart.

So I plan to look for an opportunity to fight again after the state is adjusted today.

After getting rid of the first shock, his performance today is much better, otherwise he would have to call the imperial physician.

The Mei sisters didn't understand the psychology of the men involved, and felt that the emperor gradually fell in love with them, so they were more willing to spend more time, only blaming them for being weak and weak.

Zhu Houzhao felt relieved when he heard the heavy panting.

Because his physical strength is good, after all, he often exercises, so after passing the level of a novice, his ability can't be concealed, but the two girls are raised in a deep boudoir, and they have never done rough and heavy work, so naturally they can't stand it.

Zhu Houzhao turned his head to look, and saw that Huaiyan's white forehead was dripping with sweat, and her black silk hair was also clinging to her skin because of the wetness. Her lips were slightly parted, and she kept panting heavily. It is a beautiful line.

"Huaiyan, you have to go wash up."

The little girl was also obedient, upon hearing this, she was about to get up before she could rest. Fortunately, the emperor gave her a pull, "Let's rest first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty has mercy."

Huai Xiao also hid in her arms, she looked at her younger sister's expression with a little extra thought, and she felt that the emperor might like her more when she came down twice.

Huaiyan is soft and sticky, she listens to whatever she says, probably not like her.

But after thinking about it again, Huaiyan listened to the emperor's words, and she also listened to hers, and the two of them were biological sisters, both were prosperous, and the other was hurt, so it's really nothing.

In fact, she guessed right, but when they first met, they were quite obedient to Zhu Houzhao, the emperor. As for their personalities, they were not obvious in the short time. The main reason was actually that the younger sister had longer legs.

On the second day,
Zhu Houzhao, who has untied his knots and shown his majesty, is in good spirits.

According to the previously set topic, what we are going to talk about today is river engineering, that is, the construction of water conservancy.

For him, he is not professional at all in building water conservancy projects. The only thing he needs to decide is how much silver to allocate. In addition, the money from the Ministry of Households must only be enough to repair the river in one place, so he has to decide where to go.

Such a situation is really not difficult for the emperor, but in private, the governors from all over the country are fighting vigorously.

Zhejiang Wang Jia wanted it, he was the emperor's master, but when it came to money, others would not just give up.

And Shandong Liu Jian is not far behind, the emperor is still promoting him,

Besides, Fei Hongqing in Sichuan was famous far and wide, and he was a minister in the heart of the emperor after all. The reputation of the land of abundance could also make the court's money worthwhile.The rest, such as Yingtian Mansion He Jian, is the accompanying capital, and Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is still there; Henan Governor Ni Yuanqi felt that the Yellow River's troubles were of great importance, and the imperial court had no reason to discuss river construction and not to repair the Yellow River since ancient times.

But He Gong's payment is always that sum, which is arguable.
