Chapter 1182

"Shut up, soldiers, the country's major affairs, now the ordnance workshops of the Great Song Dynasty Zhulu have been abolished, and the ordnance production is all attributed to the ordnance superintendent, if the ordnance superintendent's money is used for disaster relief, then once something happens, what should I do?"

"What is your intention in proposing this?"

"Zhang Shuxiang, the lower official is a heart to serve the country, and he is worried about the country, I don't know why you want to blame the lower official?" This thing is also hard, with a stalk in his neck, as if he is really an iron-clad and loyal minister.

"Enough, you keep saying that it is for the sake of the court and the people of the world, if I am short of weapons in the Great Song Dynasty, once there is something at the border, at that time, you can afford to lose your land and lose the people?"

"Zhang Shuxiang, didn't the official also explain? The Western Xia has retreated to the area of Xingqing Mansion and survived, and the Northern Liao was in turmoil, precisely because they had no time to look south, so the lower officials dared to make such a request, is it too much? ”

"Yes, Zhang Shuxiang, I don't know the new weapons and ordnance of the Great Song Dynasty for many years, after so many years, in addition to the frequent wars in the North Shaanxi Road, the other border armies always have some savings to ......"

"Temporarily diverting the money from the ordnance prison to help the people's livelihood and control the dredging is also a matter of immeasurable merit, and it can also let the people feel the grace of Your Majesty......"

Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, had a gloomy face, watching those ministers fighting in the ring below, and his heart was like a dog, and he really wanted to pick up the soles of his shoes and pull them over.

Those Zi Wenchen obviously seem to be worried about the country and the people, but they really want to continue to reduce military spending by changing their methods. And there are not many military ministers in the court, most of them also lack the right to speak, and they are not as sharp as those civil servants, so they naturally fall behind.

Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, knew very well that the military expenditure of the Great Song Dynasty had saved millions of guan because of the reduction of hundreds of thousands of troops, but those ministers could always find a reason to spend the money again.

And the recovery of the ordnance workshops in various places has already saved a lot of military spending, and it has been handed over to the ordnance superintendent for expenses, and under such circumstances, those ministers do not even want to let go of some money.

This makes the Son of Heaven not angry, but the problem is that those officials always have such and such reasons, and they talk a lot of crookedly, which is reasonable, and the important thing is that everyone is golden, and the Son of Heaven has no way to dare to pat his chest to guarantee that there will be no catastrophe and no major harm in the next year.

As a result, it was naturally a stalemate, and Su Dongpo, Zhang Kai, and a group of ministers led by military ministers all thought that military spending should not be used.

However, if the military expenditure is not moved, will it really rely on the remaining three million yuan from the provincial and budgetary expenses? You must know that for decades, the Great Song Dynasty has often been unable to make ends meet.

Finally, Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, had just turned a negative number into a positive number, and as a result, he was going to throw money into it, and from the bottom of his heart, Zhao Xu was really reluctant.

"Niangniang, Your Majesty came to greet you......" Xu Degong, who walked lightly into the Spring and Autumn Palace, saw the Empress Dowager wearing reading glasses and practicing calligraphy, thought about it, and added in a low voice. His Majesty seemed to be in a bad mood. ”

"I guess it's because of those homeless people...... Empress Dowager Gao Taotao finally stopped writing, carefully examined the "Diamond Sutra" he copied today, nodded with satisfaction, put down the Zihao pen in his hand, took off his glasses, and at this time, the Son of Heaven had already picked up his courage and stepped into the house.

"The grandson has seen the imperial grandmother." Seeing the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao standing up, Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, hurriedly walked a few steps, and after saluting, he respectfully supported Gao Taotao's arm.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that I'm going to encounter something worrying about you again, seeing that you look depressed, it can be seen that you are not in a good mood." After Gao Tao took the Son of Heaven's hand and sat down, he carefully looked at the Son of Heaven's expression and asked.

"Imperial grandmother, my grandson is indeed a little bored, and the resettlement of those displaced people really makes my grandson a little at a loss now."

"The mourning family is still thinking about this, it seems that the ministers in the court have not been able to share the worries for His Majesty."

"Share worries, hehe, those ministers, what they are thinking about is how to use the money used by my Great Song Dynasty to make ordnance and armament to resettle the displaced people."

Why is that? Isn't it said that we can save about 3 million yuan this year, isn't that money enough? Gao Tao couldn't help but raise his gray eyebrows, and said with some displeasure.

Those courtiers are really too much, right?

"Sun Er wants to resettle those displaced people to Huanglongze, so that those people can govern that place and clear the dredging for fields. But the courtiers told me that if I wanted to do that, I would need to pay at least more than three million yuan, and this was the first investment......"

Listening to the Son of Heaven complaining there with some indignation, the Empress Dowager knew what the Son of Heaven thought.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to desilt and control that Huanglongze? This is a good strategy, but it is true that it will not be done overnight to clean up the dredging......

"That Huanglongze, but a piece of land that has been formed during the Renzong period, is about thirty-five miles long, about ten miles wide, and more than three hundred miles in radius. If it can be desilted into fields, it can add more than 200,000 acres of fertile land to the court. ”

"But if you want to clear all the places into fields, it is indeed not an overnight effort, and the amount of money consumed must be huge......

"What the imperial grandmother said is very true, and the grandson also thinks that this is a move for the benefit of the country and the people, but I didn't expect that this has not yet been implemented, and it has encountered such a big problem." Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

"That's really...... If you want to manage such a large swamp, this cost is indeed a big problem. The Empress Dowager Gao Tao couldn't help frowning.

This is not hundreds of thousands, but millions, and such a number must be cautious and careful for the court.

"Official, which secretary made this suggestion? He may have a solution. ”

Hearing this question, the Son of Heaven raised his head to look at Gao Tao, and pursed his lips as if he was a little embarrassed. "This strategy is from Wang Wushan."

"It turned out that the kid proposed the method to you, so didn't he show you how to solve the problem of funding?" The Empress Dowager Gao Tao said with some doubts.

With the virtue of Wang Yang and Wang Wushan, although he is more or less out of tune in terms of small things and personality, he has always been very thoughtful in major matters, and he will never fight uncertain battles.

Seeing the puzzled look on the face of the Empress Dowager Gao Tao, Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, felt that his tender face was a little burning, and he was so busy that he didn't have time to ask.

The Empress Dowager Gao Tao saw the increasingly embarrassing smiling face of the Son of Heaven, and she still didn't understand what was going on, so she couldn't help but hide her lips and laugh lowly. "I think His Majesty wants to solve a problem for himself, to see if he can solve this problem by gathering the ideas of hundreds of officials."

"It's just that I didn't expect that instead of giving a proper method, those ministers were bent on trying to reduce the armament of my Great Song Dynasty, right?"
