I'm a big dick

Chapter 543

With a strict supervision system, or without a suitable environment, no one will feel disobedient, or dare not do so.

Ambition, utilitarianism, greed...everyone has it.

The emperor is high above, and it is precisely because he has the power to satisfy the desires of his courtiers.If you want fame, give you fame; if you want profit, you will be rewarded; if you want power, give you power...

But it cannot be allowed to grow indefinitely, it needs to be controlled within a certain limit.

For example, anti-corruption and anti-corruption, such as the command of the army, military law, and the decentralization of food and pay, are all means for the emperor to control through systems and laws.

Corrupt officials must be severely punished, and military power cannot be dominated by one person, so as to avoid the emergence of warlords.

With these systems and secret ceremonies, the emperor did not have to bother to examine the loyalty of officials and generals. After all, historical records cannot be trusted.

Loyalty and competence are not exactly the same; it is of course best to be both loyal and competent.But as long as you are competent, the emperor will use it, regardless of whether you want fame or profit.

At this time, the emperor was reading memorials and inscriptions in Qianqing Palace, as well as the secret memorials of his cronies and courtiers.

In this majestic and majestic palace, the emperor is not only the supreme being, but also a prisoner in it.

How many emperors were deceived by their courtiers, and how many emperors were deceived by this piece of paper?

In order to have clear ears and clear eyes, the surveillance and secret reports of the factory guards are indispensable, as well as the reports of trusted officials.Taken together, we will not listen to one side and believe one side.

"Master Yuan worked hard..."

The emperor had read Yuan Keli's memorials, and had a better understanding of the current situation in Liaodong.

The wounds of the war were serious, the reconstruction process was complicated, and the investment was huge, which made the emperor feel headache.

If it is just a simple restoration, it is obvious that the emperor cannot be satisfied.Reconstruction is really rebuilding. Roads, houses, infrastructure... are all in accordance with the emperor's plan, and what will be built will be a new Liaodong.

The wide and thickened roads, even if they are made of rammed earth, must traverse Liaodong; the fertile black land, even in the cold of the Little Ice Age, will yield crops such as rye, potatoes, and corn...

If Liaodong is stable, then Daming is stable.As for the threat of Xiyi at sea, even if the navy does not develop, it will be hundreds of years later.

It is the emperor's dream to fly across the world, but the threat from the north has been the nightmare of the Han dynasty in the Central Plains in history, and this is also the emperor's deep-rooted worry.

There are slaves and remnants of enemies, the cold of the Little Ice Age moved the grasslands southward, making life more difficult for nomads, and there are greedy bears further north...

Therefore, the stronger the rebuilt Liaodong, the larger the population, the more complete the facilities, and the greater the power.It will not only be the barrier of Ming Dynasty, but also become the strategic blade of Ming Dynasty stabbing northward.

The emperor's eyes became firmer, and he agreed to the extra large sum of money that was not planned in his letter of reply to Mr. Yuan.

What is money, spending wisely is the most correct choice.I am the emperor, no matter how difficult or poor, it is no problem to eat ten dishes for a meal.

The corner of the emperor's mouth was slightly pursed, he smiled self-deprecatingly, and gently put down the pen.When he looked up, he saw Li Chengcheng's smile and the white fungus served with rock sugar.

Taking the small bowl, the emperor smiled and drank slowly with a small spoon.

"Your Majesty." Li Chengcheng reported with a smile: "The silver reward in Liaodong has been adjusted, and there is still 350 million silver in the internal treasury."

The emperor pondered for a while, and said: "Keep 1000 million, and send the rest to minting coins."

Grandpa Wanli had already spent half of the money left by him, and the inner treasury still had it because the emperor tried his best to earn it.Such as glass mirrors, such as textile machinery...

Although anti-corruption and corruption, coupled with Qingtun payment, solved a big problem.But in order to turn the Ming Empire into what he wanted, and to survive the impending disaster, the emperor still had to continue to spend money from his own house.

The emperor was heartbroken, but not stingy.Payments are gradually being balanced, although there have been several unplanned expenses this year.But there will be rewards for giving, and this day will not be very far away.

Putting down the bowl, the emperor took another ensemble, which belonged to Shen Yourong.

In history, Zheng Zhilong controlled the Taiwan Strait with a powerful navy, and the foreign devils also had to pay for the road, earning a lot of money.

How could the emperor not have expected Qian Daoer to come like this?For the investment in the navy, the emperor has been gritting his teeth and raising money.

Shen Yourong's secret melody was an answer to the emperor's urgency.According to the current investment and expansion speed, in two or three years, it will almost meet the requirements of the emperor.

No surprise!Although the emperor was eager, the answer was not far from his estimate.

Building ships and adding guns, expanding the navy, going to sea for training... These are all money, and it is not possible to see great results in a short period of time.

Although the combined navy forces of the Ming Empire are large enough to resist the Western Yi with a numerical advantage, they only have an advantage in the coastal waters, which is not what the emperor hoped.

"Hopefully the money will speed up the process."

The emperor wrote a reply, raised his head and said to Li Chengcheng: "Take another 200 million silver from the inner treasury."

Li Chengcheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously, "The servant obeys the order."

The emperor just gave a faint wry smile, and picked up the memorial and title book again.

He was not surprised by the huge cost.Because what he wants to transform is the entire Ming Empire, rather than being a paper painter, letting the empire go forward and maintain it as it was.

The Ming Empire is not only the kingdom of heaven and the center of the world that the Ming people think of.The emperor wanted to make the Ming Empire truly stand on the top of the world, stand proud of all heroes, and even become an empire on which the sun never sets.

The emperor's eyes are on the whole world, not Asia, let alone the country.

Restoring Liaodong is only part of his grand plan, and it is only the first goal he wants to achieve.

For this reason, all the money in the internal treasury was spent, and the emperor did not hesitate.

The emperor let out a long breath, put down the pen, and gently rubbed his sore eyes.The gentle little hands landed on the emperor's shoulders, holding them with moderate strength, which made him feel a burst of relief.

The palace door opened lightly, and Wang Tiqian hurried in. Seeing that the emperor was resting with his eyes closed, he hesitated and did not go forward to report.

"Prince companion, present it!" The emperor opened his eyes slightly and said slowly.

"Yes." Wang Tiqian stepped forward and bowed to present the secret report, "The urgent report from Yunnan sent by the Zhen Fu Division."

Yunnan? !The emperor opened his eyes, slightly surprised, reached out to take the secret report, opened it to look at it, and couldn't help frowning.

Qian Guogong Mu Qiyuan died suddenly? !
The emperor blinked his eyes slowly, deeply aware that there was something suspicious in it, and carefully looked at the content below.

It was two years ago that Mu Qiyuan attacked Duke Qian. He was frivolous and lawless, and allowed his slaves to harm the people. The emperor was already deeply dissatisfied, but this guy's sudden death was too sudden.

"Mu Tianbo is only one year old..." The emperor put down the secret report, tapped it lightly with his fingers, and muttered to himself.
