[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

Whether it was the untimely delivery of grain or other reasons, this matter has long been unclear.The army needs food, and the food stored in the guard has been embezzled long ago, so there is no food left.When there was no food, the Ministry of Households had to allocate money to the Ministry of War to buy it. He could not protest aloud, because the past use of these stored grains had been accounted for by the Ministry of Households.As for the Ministry of War, there are so many people in the army, and it is difficult to check if one person is greedy, so he has to be dumb and unable to tell if he suffers from eating coptis.

The Ministry of Household Affairs spent a large amount of money because of Zhu Youtang's reward, and this amount must not be recognized, otherwise it will have to move the money from the customs.The Ministry of War simply had no money to take.

The two sides were deadlocked, and Zhu Houzhao couldn't make a decision.With Zhu Houzhao present, it was not easy for the supervisor of ceremonies to come with the usual money for the internal minister. In this way, other ministries were gradually involved.Only the Ministry of Rites, because Liu Jian, the Minister of filial piety, asked for leave, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites temporarily held the post of Minister, and dared not speak.

These ordinary literati quarreled, pointing at mulberry and swearing at Huai and so on, all of which were swearing without swearing. Zhu Houzhao seemed to have ten thousand mosquitoes buzzing in his ears, and his head was dizzy from the noise.Zhu Houzhao couldn't take it anymore, slapped the back of the chair, and hastily stopped the scuffle.

"Everyone, take a break. Mr. Xu Ge, tell me, how much is the total deficit this time?" Zhu Houzhao also had a new understanding of these old ministers, and after a long time he was entangled with the Ministry of War and Accounts. Others I forgot everything.

Xu Pu is already very old, and now he has to sit on a stool when he is summoned by the court, and he can't even stand up.When he was going to retire and return to his hometown, his next job was already set to be Liu Jian. The others were inferior to him in terms of qualifications and talents. Who would have thought that Liu Jian would be replaced by Ma Wensheng because of the breakdown of his back house? Zhan Yi faction must not let him gain power.Therefore, Zhu Youtang rejected Xu Pu's proposal to return to his hometown, and let him continue to be the chief assistant of the cabinet.He also knew that he was just a statue of Zhong Kui left by Zhu Youtang, which was used to shock the little ghosts, and it was just to do some balancing things. He knew that he was not energetic when it came to important affairs in the court, so he usually would not touch them.

"This year's revenue is more than 1000 million taels, which is equivalent to more than 140 million taels of silver. There are still more than 20 million taels in the treasury this year, a total of more than 120 million taels. This year's expenditure is [-] million taels. [-] taels." Before finishing speaking, Xu Pu coughed violently, took a sip of water and recovered, "Actually, it doesn't matter, but the budget reported by various ministries at the beginning of the year was [-] million, a total exceeding [-] million. two."

In this way, Zhu Houzhao understood a little bit, "What are the things that are beyond the limit?" Zhu Houzhao felt that if he could pass it, he could pass it.

"I heard His Highness the Crown Prince's words! You can report accordingly." Xu Pu's voice was old and lacking in energy, and Zhu Houzhao was always afraid that he would just lie down like this.

"Our military department and household department owe a total of 110 million taels of silver for this war with the Tatars." Ma Wensheng said first.

"The Ministry of Household owes 60 taels of silver alone." The Ministry of Household's reward this time is also a large one, spending nearly one million taels of silver.

Zhu Houzhao didn't sound right, "It's obviously a debt of 170 million taels, but just now the old man told me that the overspend was 120 million taels, and there are 50 taels left? Could it be that someone who was doing it kindly filled it in?" Zhu Houzhao I also read the first draft two days ago. It was not like this at the time. Could it be that I was playing myself like a monkey?

"The crown prince came to discuss this matter for the first time. I'm afraid I don't know. This is an old rule. If there is a surplus, the deficit will be used to make up for it. The Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Punishment have a total of 50 taels of silver, and they will make up for it. 50 taels." In previous years, there would never have been a surplus, but this year, except for the earthquake in the first month, there will be no major disasters in this year.If the account cannot be evened out, there will be a surplus.

Zhu Houzhao immediately frowned. It might not be appropriate to use the surplus of other departments to make up for the deficit, but this matter is not something he can intervene in, and he only thinks about it in his heart.

"Since you all know the purpose, you don't need to make up for other items. You can directly reconcile the account and write a list for the supervisor to approve the redemption. As for the deficit, I will ask the emperor for instructions before discussing it." Zhu Houzhao had already spoken. No one dared to procrastinate, they settled a few disputed matters, wrote the papers on the spot, Zhu Hou took care of them, and passed them on to others for reading. If there were no more objections, Jiang Cong took out a big seal. Once the seal is affixed, the harvest and expenditure of this year can be understood.

In the end, Zhu Youtang made up for the shortfall with reserve silver, and the two compartments are complete. After this major event, the new year has improved a bit.

After a lively new year, the children have grown another year, and the time has come to Hongzhi's 15th year.

After the Lantern Festival, Zhu Houzhao began to soak in the Beijing camp again, not only to test the results of the preparation of the Beijing camp a few days ago, but also to see the development of the Suifa gun, which has not been successful for a long time. question.At that point, Zhu Houzhao had to advance the plan to develop the Songnen Plain, just killing the Jurchen tribe in his belly.Or assimilate directly, or lead the Han people there. When the fishing and hunting people are not fishing and hunting, will they still have the fighting power to unify the Central Plains?

It's just that these are choices of last resort. Zhu Houzhao's original plan was to develop for decades, and mobilize after the population increased.This will be a lot less of a problem, and will give you time to grow more hardy seeds yourself.

Zhu Houzhao suspended classes and stayed in the Beijing camp, but Du Ruo couldn't follow him because he also had more important things to do.

When they came to this world, Zhu Houzhao and Du Ruo discussed what was important and what was not in those days when Zhu Houzhao and Du Ruo could not decide.

For example, there is no rush to discover the New World. If you go first, you can only be a villain. It is better to wait for the Europeans to find out the specific situation a little bit first, and your own navy to develop better, before making plans.Because Zhu Houzhao does not want the distant America, but Australia, which is closer to the Asian continent with an indigenous population of only 70.Their greater ambitions in the Americas are the Panama Canal and ports on the West Coast of the Pacific Ocean.

These things are unimportant for now.More importantly, it is to solve Tatar, contact with the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and master China's maritime lifeline-the Strait of Malacca.These are the easiest to do and the ones that best pave the way for the future.

Now that the Tatars are declining day by day, Zhu Houzhao is sure to completely defeat the Tatars in his lifetime, or he can completely assimilate them.As for the cooperation with the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the more important thing is for future oil and gas resources. Now no one knows that this thing is the blood of the future modern industry. Whether it can be kept in the future is one thing.

Obtaining the Strait of Malacca is actually easy to say, it is still a barren land, as long as it can stand there, it is considered the territory of Ming Dynasty.According to the people who went to sea, the land is now in the time of civil strife and chaos. If you want to buy something from the person in charge of that land, it is probably easy for this land to belong to the Ming Dynasty.

It turned out that Zhu Houzhao didn't think so.Like most time-travelers, my own ideas were very whimsical at the beginning.What about setting foot in South America, conquering North America, etc., but I gradually realized that these things are extremely unreliable, even if I barely do it, it is a great disaster for a country.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. What Zhu Houzhao wants to do more is to promote the progress of thought.What he has to do is to try his best when the ideas of his generation collide with those of later generations, China is still a complete China, and China is still the familiar China.Instead of falling apart and conquering continuously.

Du Ruo and Du Sheng have been talking about the Ottoman Turkish Empire for a month.Now the Ming Dynasty still used to call them Turks, because they were descendants of Western Turks.

The Ming Dynasty and the Ottoman Turkish Empire were not adjacent.There are many countries established by Mongolian descendants in the middle.These Mongols and Turks also have feuds.At the time of Ming Chengzu, the Mongolized Timur had defeated the Turkish Empire, and he regained the lost ground only after Timur's empire collapsed.

The enemy's enemy is one's own friend. Now the Ottoman Turkish Empire is in its heyday. It is suitable for uniting to suppress the Mongolian tribes, and it is also suitable for Duruo to explore oil resources.

Du Sheng's main job is to sell Chinese porcelain and silk to the Ottoman Turkish Empire, whether he makes money or not is secondary.The most important thing is to show the sincerity of Ming Dynasty to the Ottoman Turkey Empire and lay a solid foundation for the establishment of diplomatic relations between the imperial court and the Ottoman Turkey Empire.

It's not okay to go directly as a member of the Ming Dynasty. Now that Hami has become the center of the mutual market, Du Sheng has to pretend to be a broker who only wants to profit.In the past few days, Du Ruo went through the back door and directly found officials who could speak Mongolian and Turkish at the translation agency of the Ming Dynasty. He was also very busy inquiring about information with the envoys from various countries in the Siyi Pavilion.

After the new year, Xing Wu returned to Hangzhou, and when he got home, he learned that his wife was pregnant.He was in his early twenties back then, with his status and character, people who wanted to marry their daughters to him naturally flocked to him.Xu Beiniang refused to marry, and he had no choice but to follow his mother's advice and marry his distant cousin Bai.

This cousin is gentle and obedient, exactly the same kind of person as Xu Beiniang.Men are like this, what you can't get is the best.When I have rice, I will naturally miss the red rose.This cousin Bai is also scheming, knowing that her husband-in-law's heart is not on her, she just manages the house more virtuously and serves her in-laws.

The only downside is that she gave birth to two daughters in a row, and now she is pregnant again, so naturally she hopes to have a son.

Mrs. Xing was pregnant after giving birth. According to the doctor, Xing Wu naturally took care of the danger of the pregnancy, and even took care of the textile factory.

That night, as soon as Xing Wu fell asleep, he heard the voice of the servant calling the door hastily.
