Please, let me be a fool

Lin Yuansong, Minister of the Ministry of War, thought, anyway, recently, the imperial court has advantages in all aspects of the military, and there is no big problem with His Majesty's personal conquest.

And Wang Lun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't find any reason to continue to refute. After all, His Majesty has elevated this matter to the dignity of the country.

If you continue to choose to contradict at this time, wouldn't it mean that you will abandon the dignity of the country and ignore it, and this is not appropriate for the Minister of Rites?

There is also Song Gongwen, although he knows that this time, His Majesty will personally march.

With the addition of the 20 troops, the money spent must be astonishing, but think about it, the tax revenue after the reform will soon increase, as long as the war ends quickly, it will definitely not be a problem.

After all, the money can't just be used to support the war, there are also two major projects of Wei Zhidao and the Grand Canal.

That's horrendous for what it costs each month.

As for Taifu Zhang Zhengming.

Memories seem to go back decades at this moment.

At the beginning, I was in the prime of life, followed the late emperor who was in his prime, and joined the Marquis Shenwu, to fight against the grassland tribes. Although that battle did not achieve much results, at least it kept the stability of the northern border for decades.

Today, the national power of Great Wei is stronger than before, and it has achieved extremely high achievements in all aspects.

He thought, His Majesty's personal expedition, plus the national dignity mentioned before.

His Majesty must have wanted to use the battle with Baiyue to announce the powerful and terrifying power of the Great Wei Dynasty among the countries in the Eastern Continent.

Involuntarily, Zhang Zhengming thought of what Song Gongwen had said before, that the Great Wei might dominate the entire Eastern Continent, and perhaps this time was just the beginning.

Therefore, he deeply supports Wei Yunyi's approach in his heart.

Things like national dignity are sometimes achieved by fighting. Blind tolerance and concessions will only be looked down upon, because some countries will only be clear when they are beaten.

This is to coerce the country and dominate the countries!

"it is good."

At this time, Wei Yunyi, who didn't know the thoughts of the ministers, continued to speak: "Since all the lovers have no objections, then this matter is settled. I will give you seven days to prepare all the matters for this expedition."

"Okay, if there is nothing else, let's go."

After speaking, he ignored everyone's reaction and turned around directly.

Anyway, the goal has been achieved.

As for what these ministers think, it has nothing to do with me.

"Farewell to Your Majesty." Seeing this, the Grand Scholars immediately bowed slightly.

This imperial meeting was originally nothing serious, and even Lin Yuansong thought that His Majesty might not take Baiyue's violations back to His Majesty because it was completely unnecessary.

But who would have thought that in the end, His Majesty would directly conscript him...

and so.

Not long after the imperial meeting ended.

The news of the emperor's imperial conquest of Baiyue in person soon spread.

The ministers who almost heard the news were all shocked, a little unbelievable.

Because everyone's thinking is the same as those cabinet scholars, do you think His Majesty is making too much of a fuss?

A mere Baiyue, actually let His Majesty the Emperor personally conquest...

The officials of Yushitai have great opinions on this.

Even if he was fined last time.

But these people are very stubborn, so they are preparing to write letters to persuade them, thinking that not only is there no need for the imperial conquest, but there is no need to send troops to Baiyue.

Of course, as before, Wei Yunyi naturally refuted this directly.

at the same time.

Under the auspices of the cabinet scholars, the preparations for Wei Yunyi's personal expedition are also going on.

The royal conquest is completely different from the usual expeditions, whether it is the specifications or other, it must be strictly implemented.

More importantly, because the emperor left the palace, the imperial camp must also mobilize troops to accompany the army.

The emperor's guarding matters will never be handed over to others.

Not even Wei's own army.

Only the imperial guards of the Imperial Battalion can take on this responsibility.

Of course, in addition to this, after the emperor goes to war, he must not live in an ordinary tent at will like ordinary generals. This aspect must be well arranged, and it must conform to the honor guard of the emperor, and the materials for the tent must pass through Pick and choose.

In this regard, the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War must discuss various details.

But soon.

When some matters of the tent are determined.

Song Gongwen and Minister of War Lin Yuansong suddenly received the order from Wang Jin.

This time Wei Yunyi's royal conquest, in addition to tents, a palace must be arranged at Zhennanguan, and there must be accompanying royal cooks, eunuchs, court ladies, etc., so it must be well arranged.

When the two of them received this decree, they immediately froze. Lin Yuansong is fine, but it’s just a palace. The southern border is close to the south of the Yangtze River. There are various gardens, including Zhennan Pass. When the time comes, find a garden with a good location and renovate it. up.

But Song Gongwen was different, he began to frown, because the household department had already estimated tens of thousands of taels of silver for the tent.

Here is another palace, and the money spent must be extraordinary.

In addition, there are eunuchs, court ladies, and imperial cooks accompanying them.

And adding the imperial guards of the imperial camp.

So in Song Gongwen's eyes, this will represents white money.

Lin Yuansong, Minister of the Ministry of War, was very sympathetic to this, and then turned around and threw out a list. The content on it was very simple, which was the cost of food, supplies, and so on.

Not much, just enough for 20 troops and support staff.

Faced with this double whammy.

Song Gongwen suddenly had the idea of ​​wanting to kill the pick.

Because it's really difficult to do the Minister of the Ministry of Households. Since I took office, I wish I could break a piece of silver in half, but even so, it's still not enough.

Now, there is one of His Majesty's and the expenses of the Ministry of War.

You know, the tax on this piece of land has not yet been collected.

The Ministry of Finance's current money has completely bottomed out.

The so-called clever woman can't cook without rice, even if Song Gongwen has great ability, it is impossible to do these things without money.

But soon, he calmed down, and felt that His Majesty was kind to him. If it wasn't for His Majesty, he might still be staying in Dali Temple now, and everything he has suffered now must be His Majesty's test.

I must never give up, even if I try my best, I must do it and do it well!

(

Chapter 191 The progress of Wenzhiwugong border cross-market [seeking monthly ticket]

Song Gongwen did the math.

Whether it is the various preparations required for His Majesty's personal expedition.

There is also the list given by the Ministry of War, the cost of 20 troops and logistics.

Even if you directly emptied all the savings in the household department, it would not be enough, after all, there was not much left.

How could it be possible to support another big battle now.

So you have to think of another way.

His Majesty has seven days to prepare.

Although this deadline is not strict for the Ministry of Households.

But Song Gongwen knew very well that this was His Majesty's first personal expedition, and he must not be sloppy.Although the army has not moved, food and grass go first.

Even if there is a slight problem with the mobilization and arrangement of the army by the Ministry of War, it is nothing.

But if you change to the Ministry of Accounts, it will be completely different, and it will affect the whole body.

So he knew that he had to arrange everything.

At least.

It is necessary to prepare money for at least one month in the future to support His Majesty's personal conquest.

As long as this aspect is done well, the other things are nothing.

But where the money came from made it a little difficult.

I originally thought that there would be no problem at all after the tax came up after the reform, but now it is obvious that I can't wait until then, and the deposit bank of the household department is not enough...

"Forget it, go ask the teacher for advice and see if the teacher can do anything."

Song Gongwen really couldn't figure it out, after all, the time was too urgent, and there was no warning in advance.

Although I am only in charge of the household department, it is impossible to directly conjure money out of thin air.

Soon after, to the west of the capital city.

Zhang Zhengming and Song Gongwen sat opposite each other.

As before, the two did not talk about state affairs immediately, but were drinking tea separately.

When the hot tea in the pot bottomed out, Zhang Zhengming put down the teacup in his hand, and then said with a smile: "You are looking for me on purpose, it must be the money from the Ministry of Households, not enough for His Majesty to take it personally?"

"Teacher is still a teacher. You have seen through the students' thoughts." Song Gongwen didn't hide it immediately.

All the expenses required by the household department, as well as some recent accounts, were all stated.

In fact, before the tax reform came up.

The household department has always been tight.

In all aspects, you can save as much as you can, and use it for important things.

However, Song Gongwen was able to keep the entire imperial court running normally under such circumstances, so that there would be no troubles, and he could still save some money in the household department. His ability was already quite powerful.

Even Zhang Zhengming couldn't help sighing, after all, whether he can do it or not is the same thing.

After all, it's not that he didn't take charge of the transfer department back then, there were too many things and it was too troublesome.

It takes all kinds of energy, and it's thankless.

Now His Majesty is going to personally conquer again.

Of course it is difficult to come up with money.

"It's really hard for you to control the household department. Do you want me to find a way for you to get some money?" Zhang Zhengming smiled and continued: "It's the same as last time, your teacher and I have nothing to do now, I think After looking at your accounts, I have used all kinds of methods. I can think of it, and you have thought of it. It is really impossible to get money from other places. Even if you can get it, it is just a drop in the bucket."

Hearing this, Song Gongwen shook his head slightly, in fact, he also had this premonition in his heart.

But he kept holding on to a little hope, but he could hear what the other party said in person.

Can't help, completely speechless.

If you give yourself enough time, getting money is not a problem at all, but the problem is that what he lacks now is time.

"However, I recently got a piece of news that can help you." At this time, Zhang Zhengming spoke up and said: "Recently, an official came from the northern border to report on his work, saying that the border mutual market led by Sun Kejian has achieved a lot. Big progress, there should be news to the Ministry of Households in the next few days, not only that, Sun Kejian also said that he is going to Zhenbei Pass."

"Because they all heard the news that Khan Jiubu was captured alive, they thought it was just an opportunity to completely settle the border trade."

As soon as these words came out, Song Gongwen's eyes lit up immediately.

During this period of time, he was dealing with the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he almost forgot that Sun Kejian was still leading the mutual market at the border.

And there was no news from the other party, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

Now, some officials came from the north and got the news.

That means.

Sun Kejian has made great achievements in the mutual market.

As the Minister of the Household Department, Song Gongwen is very clear that once this matter is completed, although the commercial tax collected is not as good as the tax from the reform, the money collected is still very considerable.

No wonder Sun Kejian didn't send any news. It turned out that everything had been prepared a long time ago and he was ready to surprise himself.
