Chen Xin sat on the main seat, watched the ministers around him unite and suppress the military, and pressed the bridge of his nose with a wry smile.

At this time, he is not too likely to intervene, and it is not important to let the military leaders taste the hardships, and this is also a protest from the cabinet members to him as a monarch.

In the past, he was too indulgent to the military, and even the financial power bypassed the government departments to independently carry out accounting, which is really undeserved.

Still inexperienced! If you were crossing an old office fritter, you shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake.

Fortunately, the cabinet ministers did not stand up, just a group of assistants or subordinates, and there was a certain gap in their identities, so they did not dare to be too presumptuous.

They also saved face for Chen Xin, who knew that when the meeting was over, he would need to find an opportunity to formally return the military's financial power to the cabinet.

After waiting for a while, the civilian officials breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing that several bigwigs in the military couldn't raise their heads in shame, Chen Xin finally coughed and stopped this criticism.

"Okay, I called everyone to a meeting today in the hope that we can brainstorm and come up with a solution to the current financial crisis.

You must know that 1 billion yuan is a full 10 million taels of silver, which is definitely a large amount. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xin paused slightly, and asked several ministers of the finance department, "As long as this gap is filled, will it not affect the current affairs of the kingdom next year?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, as long as this gap is plugged and there are no moths according to the original plan, there will be no problems next year."

At this time, someone interjected, "Or, the military cancels all this year's combat plans, and this crisis can be calmed." ”

Chen Xin categorically rejected this idea: "Absolutely not, this year's campaign must be carried out as planned." ”

As he spoke, he felt that his tone was a little too absolute, and he gently tapped on the table and added, "This is the last reluctant decision, as long as we have a glimmer of hope, this opinion should not be implemented." Now, let's talk about it. ”

There was silence in the meeting room, and no one answered.

Indeed, the kingdom today has slowly embarked on the right track, and all financial revenues have a context to follow, and every cent of expenditure has certain rules, where there may suddenly be an extra million taels of silver.

Moreover, all the ministers present knew that they could not make proposals such as temporary tax increases, fund-raising, and so on, and that their insistence on this as a monarch could really be said to be stubborn.

However, since you can't raise taxes and can't raise donations, it's a fantasy to want to make 10 million taels of silver, or 1 billion yuan, out of thin air.

The atmosphere remained silent, and the valets and secretaries had come in three times to refill the tea, but not a single constructive suggestion had been made.

In the end, it was the military bosses and coarse who couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere, and they gave each other a few glances, and some of them muttered quietly for a while, and sent a representative to make the most shocking speech at today's meeting: "Let's just go and rob it." ”

This proposal was really shocking, not only the cabinet members but also the senior advisers of the Privy Council were messy, and even Chen Xin, a traverser who had seen countless brain holes, was impressed by the whimsy of the military.

A civil servant sarcastically asked, "Who are you going to rob?" Who in this world can have an inventory of 10 million taels of silver? ”

The officer who put forward the opinion looked at the official who spoke with disdain, "Who is robbing?" What do you think is a million taels of silver? Chinese cabbage? Of course, it was to rob other neighboring countries, could it be that someone else could grab such a large sum of silver? ”

The officers were secretly refreshed, and they didn't dare to fight back when they were scolded as grandsons just now, because they were really at fault, and they didn't dare to commit public anger again.

Now, this guy doesn't have a brain, so he dares to come out to provoke, and he doesn't let him see the military's mouth cannon kung fu, and these girls don't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has.

Chen Xin was accustomed to favoring the military, and he was also smiling secretly at this time, seeing that another civilian official was about to speak, he hurriedly came out to stop it, "Tell me what you think." ”

The officer smiled proudly, and one of them explained, "Your Majesty, according to the documents of the household department found when Amin invaded Shangjing, the Kingdom of Korea originally had a population of about 9 million.

In recent years, the northern region, because of the war, has been left empty, and the population has been lost a lot, so from the aborigines of this northern area, there is no tax, and we can only vigorously immigrate from the Ming Dynasty to supplement the population.

However, the southern region is different, except for the first-tier cities of Yeosu and Busan, which we occupied, most of the other southern regions are still in the hands of the original Korean Kingdom.

The southern region has a slightly more plain and dense water system, so the population should naturally be more than that of the north. Although the remnants of the Joseon Kingdom have also been fighting endlessly in recent years, they still have some vitality.

With the weak nature of the Koreans, as long as we threaten it, we can get some windfalls.

What's more, we're not on the side of the North Korean prison state······"

The officer's words were not thorough, but Chen Xin understood that he was talking about the guerrilla detachment that had infiltrated the Korean kingdom and was in charge of the Korean prison state.

Silently recalling the report sent back by the guerrilla detachment this year, Chen Xin carefully pondered the feasibility of this matter.

It seems to be quite feasible, on the side of the Korean Kingdom, although they were very embarrassed by the guerrilla detachment, a bit of a misery for the people, but in recent years, they have been blocked by Huaxia very strictly, they can't buy supplies from the outside world, funds can't flow out, and the silver is firmly locked in their country.

It's just that threats and intimidation, can they work? I don't know if the tigers of the guerrilla detachment can push such a huge amount of extortion.

Chen Xin finally made up his mind: "This is a good proposition, you can give it a try." "Anyway, it's still the same sentence, if you try, you may not succeed, but if you don't try, you will never succeed.

When the representatives of the military heard that their proposal was accepted by Chen Xin, they were naturally very happy, and under the excitement, their brains were opened, and another officer proposed: "Your Excellency, do you remember the transaction we made when we started not long ago and lacked funds?" ”

Chen Xin was a little stunned, didn't think about it, and asked again, "What kind of business?" ”

The officer blinked a little cringe, and gestured and said, "That's, that's, that's it, the deal with Guan Ningjun and the Shandong Ming Army, the one about Tartar." ”

Seeing that the officer was a little secretive, Chen Xin thought hard, and suddenly, as soon as a flash of inspiration came, he understood what the officer said.

At the beginning, the team was created and there was no money, in order to install intelligence officers and internal responses in Daming, he got a batch of Tartar heads, as goods, and handed them over to the spies who went to Daming to develop, so that they could freely play the role of these heads.

Later, with those hundreds of Tartar heads, the spies not only gained a firm foothold in Daming and got the initial funds, but also fed Chen Xin and the army for a period of time.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin couldn't help but raise his forehead and lamented, "There was no way back then, but now that they have become regular soldiers, they are still thinking about that deal." You're too brainy, aren't you? Moreover, the regular army is really a bit down to do this. ”

"However, if the low-level officers below do it, it should be in line with the identity, right?

On top of that, it seems to be a very lucrative look.

Before Huang Taiji broke through, an ordinary Tartar head was worth more than 300 taels, and now, Da Ming has lost face, and he is still suffering heavy losses in Daling River, the market should be greatly bullish, and it should not be a problem to rise twice.

If you can find a big boss like Wu Xiang who is in urgent need of military exploits to protect his head, maybe he can rise even more? ”

Chen Xin thought shamelessly, and was still a little moved. 10
