Chapter 5 Foresight
"We have to foresee, since the imperial court has defeated the sitting tiger in the Central Plains, then, how to fill in the blanks, that is, the imperial court is Hongwen Pavilion is what the emperor wants to ponder next."
Ending the discussion on how to "the emperor eats meat and I drink soup" on the corpse of Qinghe Cui, Zhang De held a small meeting with his confidants and high-quality students.
"Mountain chief, the old veterans are paid, and they take the imperial silver. This time, if the Qinghe Cui clan is cleared, if it can't be quickly replenished this year, I'm afraid it won't work. In my opinion, whether it is the emperor, the foreign court, or even the Hongwen Pavilion or even the inner government, they must ponder adding a sum of cash. β
"Reasonable, reasonable."
A bureaucrat nodded again and again, "Right now, the Yulin Army and the Twelve Guards Old Army can be regarded as the emperor's confidence in suppressing the Central Plains. Walking on two legs, one is a soldier, and the other is Huangyin. The emperor hasn't returned for two years, and I don't know why, there is no need to hesitate so much about the situation in Liaodong, right? β
"If you don't go out, I'm afraid you won't be able to 'quit' success. Now that Hongwen Pavilion acts, he is only half a 'prime minister', and his voice is far inferior to that of the three high-ranking officials. β
Because the three high-ranking officials have gradually become decorations, and the emperor is outside, the composition of the personnel who mainly convey the will is divided into two major parts. One is a eunuch slave, and the other is a military rookie.
It's just that because he accompanied people such as Ma Zhou, Zhang Xingben, and Xue Dading, it created an illusion, as if the emperor was still a pillar of honor in the imperial court.
Adding a "big" bachelor to Ma Zhou is just a trick.
In Lao Zhang's small conference room, some people say that Hongwen Pavilion is half of the "prime minister", that is, here. For specific policies, Hongwen Pavilion is not even a fart, and the power it exercises is still only the power of the original department. Kong Yingda came out of the Guozijian, that is a decoration, Hou Junji does not need to bird him in Luo**.
What can I get?
Kong Yingda wanted to make his plan pass the emperor's review, he first had to contact the inner servant, and the eunuch handed over his report to the emperor, and after the emperor approved it, he re-conveyed his will through the inner servant.
This has come and gone, and the status of eunuchs has skyrocketed invisibly, but many people have not yet realized this. Wuhan can have this cognition, it is really because there are too many yamen in Wuhan, and the benefits of a wide range of business classifications are here.
"In my opinion, the total is nothing but gold, silver, copper, and iron. Since the emperor is in Yalu Water, this idea is probably to make up his mind on gold and Fusang gold. But I can't feed many people if I want to, and now those Central Plains soldiers are shouting 'My Emperor Shengming' and 'Long Live My Emperor', I'm afraid that they are also pointing to the emperor for a long-term meal ticket. β
"If you take the imperial silver, you have to do something. Let them fight, can they not go? β
"What's wrong with going? If there is a cheap fight, it is naturally a contribution, if you meet a ruthless character, why not slip away? When the time comes, what will you do if you return to a 'non-war crime'? Is it difficult for veterans to become rammed goods, and they are not afraid of death? If there is a benefit, go up, and if there is no benefit, run, can the emperor really kill even the old soldiers? β
"In that case, regardless of the cash available, the emperor will let the old soldier go for a walk?"
"The matter of an edict, as long as there is money and the 'official camp' of good land, you see if these old soldiers will go."
"I'm afraid it's not just the old soldiers, such as the Guan Lao Wu who made trouble in Texas, these people, now they are at a loss, since the emperor has 'set things right' and put all the blame on the Qinghe Cui family, then there must be a means of appeasement. The price of buying cotton is not mentioned, and the two are not to mention, only these cottons still have to be used on the soldiers. The military man went to help the emperor get some cash, and one of them wanted to pay for the cotton money. β
"Speaking of which, these old soldiers are really not a poor family. It is not a problem to make up a set of armor, the horse market has been hot in recent years, and a horse is not worth much money, plus the increase in soybean and wheat production, there is no shortage of concentrate. These people gritted their teeth and borrowed money to buy a good set of equipment, and if they went to the river, as long as they did not die, they could earn it back. β
Everyone discussed, and the thinking suddenly became clear, and the emperor's abacus was not shrewd. As long as the armed forces are maintained, or even increased, the local tigers in the Central Plains will not be enough to fight at all. What you need to fight a tiger is not technology, Lao Tzu is dressed as a god, and he is born with divine power and a little brother of 200,000, what tiger can't be killed?
After suppressing these tigers, large and small, the "official camp" has the power of low-level officials and even old pawns who are willing to wave the flag and shout for the emperor, as long as the emperor has the money in place, it is really easy to say anything.
And according to the yield of Hou Junji, Changsun Chong, Wang Wansui, Shan Daozhen, Du Zhenglun and other brothers who are out in cash, as long as the emperor has personnel in place, there is no loss.
The gold, silver, and copper mines are there, and they don't fly away or disappear suddenly, just waiting for someone to dig them out as quickly or as slow as possible......
"The emperor may have the intention to replace the new and old military leaders, these old soldiers and men together have a lot of power, but if they are taken out alone, Chang'an Luoyang, that is, a broken household."
"How do you settle down? These are those who sell their lives to the emperor, and they take money from the emperor every year. Speaking of which, it can be regarded as a noble with the size of a mung bean, but he was not given a title. β
"If you say that, there is some truth to it."
"The lieutenant is not worth anything, it is more than enough to be a loose official, and it is more than enough to use it as a faΓ§ade. Will it be difficult for Shilang to become Shilang, and how loud can he be? β
"One lieutenant is nothing, but if there are thousands of lieutenants, it may not be. The emperor is strong, if he is determined to win over the 'hearts of the people' and the 'hearts of the army', and give thousands of lieutenants to Xu Rong some inheritance, are you afraid that they will not sell their lives? β
"What is an heirloom? You can't even ...... gold and silver mines."
The disdainful person said this, and he stopped, and then there was silence in the small conference room.
"It's not impossible."
"Not to mention thousands of lieutenants, there are hundreds, one person has a thousand acres and two thousand acres of land, how can there be hundreds of thousands of acres of land. It's enough to be a local tycoon. β
"Not only that, these old pawns are long in the ranks, and they are strong pawns when they are pulled out. Even if the emperor is cheap on weekdays, he may still rub the emperor's oil and water, but if someone wants to ruin their inheritance, this is tearing their faces, and they will definitely work hard. β
"If that's the case, the emperor is beating a batch and pulling a batch, is it considered to be a small system?"
"It's hard to say."
Speaking of this, everyone was clueless, and they couldn't help but look at Zhang De.
Lao Zhang is noncommittal, he is a Jiangnan native dog, and he understands the spell of a bird, anyway, the emperor loves to toss, so he will toss, as long as it does not hinder him from building the ancestral Xiaobawang learning machine.
So Lao Zhang said indifferently: "Long live the emperor, what the emperor wants to do, let the emperor go." We are not rebellious who tear the flag and rebel, so why bother with this? It is to let hundreds of thousands of 'deputy lieutenants accompany Rong' to rob this, what kind of gold, Hezhong gold, Fusang gold, rob it. Not only did he not object, but he also encouraged and handed knives to these old soldiers. β
Everyone looked confused, but Lao Zhang still looked light: "Can these gold and silver be eaten or worn?" If you don't spend it, isn't it just a brick? β
Seeing the bird-like appearance of the boss, a kind of Wuhan turtle applauded one after another, saying that the boss is so big-hearted, we are still afraid of a bird, so we will first prefabricate five million flying arrows to suppress the shock.
