Why Wei Zhaocheng is down, to be more specific, is because Wei Zhaocheng was the first assistant of the cabinet of Chongzhen for 12 years, and the so-called eunuch remnant Xue Guoguan was recommended to the cabinet. But Xue Guoguan has always been at odds with the Donglin Party. Now that the Donglin Party has followed Zhou Yanru into the cabinet and the first assistant, Wei Zhaocheng is naturally no longer comfortable.

It's just that Chen Xinjia was slightly surprised that it was not the current household secretary Fu Shuxun who followed Wei Zhaocheng, but Wang Zhengzhi, the left attendant of the household department.

Seeing this, Chen Xinjia narrowed his eyes slightly, and his footsteps moved towards the edge of the area without a trace.

Today's situation seems to be changing.

After Wei Zhaocheng came with Wang Zhengzhi, he saluted, and Chongzhen waved his hand to serve him and continued to pick up the pen.

"Ma Shaoyu, the staff of the Ministry of War, is sensitive and acceptable, and should be a reliable person...... The matter of the envoy to Liaoshen ......"

"Zizi Zi ......"

"Father's ......"

"I, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, do not pay tribute, do not pay tribute, have no affiliation with relatives, and have no national shame of ceding land. The Son of Heaven defends the country, and the king dies! ”

Syllable!

Pen break.

Chongzhen's right hand with a pen burst out, and the good northern wolf waited for the pen to be broken, and was thrown aside with the owner's faint sigh.

Seeing this, the three of them looked at each other and lost their minds.

At this moment, Chongzhen raised his head and looked at the three ministers who came over, and frowned slightly: "Hasn't Fu Aiqing arrived yet?" ”

After Chongzhen finished speaking, Wang Chengen on the side whispered to Chongzhen: "Saint, Fu Qiwu is not in the household department today, and the news is a little late, so he will come later." ”

Afterwards, Wang Chengen whispered a few words, and the speed of his speech was quite fast, only Chongzhen could hear it, only when he mentioned the words Qin Xia and Hubu, the speed of speech was slow, but he lowered his voice even more.

Chongzhen slowly bowed his head, glanced at the draft that was smeared with illegible handwriting, waved his hand to let Wang Chengen clean it up, and then looked at Wei Zhaocheng, Chen Xinjia and Wang Zhengzhi in the audience, and when he skipped the three of them, his eyes paused slightly on Wang Zhengzhi.

Then, the little eunuch on the side of the attendant moved four chairs, and the three of them sat down separately.

After delaying for a while, Fu Shuxun, who was in a hurry, also arrived.

When Fu Shuxun saw that there was more Wang Zhengzhi in the hall, his eyes were slightly downcast, and he sat on the right side.

Seeing that the person was almost there, Chongzhen closed his eyes slightly, leaned back in the chair, rubbed his temples slightly, and said slowly: "Chen Aiqing, you can talk about it." ”

So Chen Xinjia saluted and thanked him, and then said: "What we are talking about this time is a matter of Liaodong. The Ministry of War agreed to transfer the white pole soldiers of Qin Liangyu, a stone pillar in Sichuan, to gather the strength of the Guangxi wolf soldiers and the Beijing battalion to stabilize the situation in Liao, Tokyogi. This discussion is certain, and it is necessary to immediately rectify the Beijing camp. Concentrate on spare strength, make up for new talents, train diligently, and train hard. The Ministry of War calculated that the Beijing battalion would be reorganized in advance, or 6,000 old and weak troops would be eliminated, and two new horse battalions, four infantry battalions, and corresponding auxiliary troops would be built, and a total of 14,000 new troops would be needed. Adjust the stone pillar Qin Liangyu's department, the mountains and rivers are far away, even if the soldiers of the Tusi can bear a little, the center should also prepare a reward, and transfer the army. ”

When Chen Xinjia said this, Wei Zhaocheng suddenly said very impolitely: "Shizhu Xuanfu makes the public loyal to the country, if you can enter Beijing smoothly to reinforce the army, you should prepare all the food and salary." However, the Guangxi wolf soldiers used all the actions to disturb the local area, and then entered the Beijing division, the journey was 3,000 miles, and the cost was innumerable. If the center bears it alone, it is better to use all of it to rectify the Beijing Division. If the center is the same as before, and does not increase the salary, it will be based on the habits of the wolf soldiers, and the provinces and counties will be feared. The ministers focused on the Beijing camp. ”

Wei Zhaocheng is evaluated by the court, and most of his talents are inferior. Today's discussion made Chongzhen's eyes brighten slightly, and he slowly bowed his head: "Reasonable." ”

According to the normal rhythm of deliberations, the Ministry of War proposed a solution, and the ministers commented on their opinions, and then the baton should be taken over by the Ministry of Households.

After all, what Chen Xinjia said was nothing more than asking for money and food, and more than half of the calculation of military affairs depends on whether the money and food can keep up.

In fact, most of the is here. This time, Chongzhen didn't expect to make the household department speak.

Listening to the conclusion of the Ministry of War's discussion, Fu Shuxun's heart sank slightly, and he went through the required expenses in his mind, and was just about to speak, but he saw someone suddenly speak loudly, which made Fu Shuxun's eyes suddenly widen.

"Your Majesty. Lay off the old and weak 3,000, count one person needs to return home travel expenses, the disabled, sick and weak, medicine and food and clothing for one month, then one person's expenses are converted into five taels of silver. Rebuild the army amount, each soldier is more than Guanning one tael four dollars of silver in a month, one hundred, sixteen taels of silver in the year, and six stones of rice. Twenty thousand, a total of thirty-three and six thousand taels of silver, and twelve hundred thousand stones. If the horsemen are counted, they will add another 100,000 for use. A total of 451,000 taels of silver and 120,000 stones were required. If the household department guarantees the use of Beijing officials in March, regardless of the need for dredging of the Yellow River in April, and suspends the personnel of Henan, it can divert 300,000 taels of silver and 100,000 stone of grain and rice. ”

Wang Zhengzhi burst out the numbers one by one, which was orderly and logical, which made Fu Shuxun's face extremely dignified.

On the other side, the other person was even more agitated.

I saw Chongzhen standing up, staring at Wang Zhengzhi and hurriedly asking, "Wang Qing, don't joke in front of you!" ”

At the same time, Chongzhen's mind suddenly thought sharply.

When did Wang Zhengzhi become so capable?

When did the situation of the household department improve all of a sudden?

When Li Shiwen was in charge of the household department, he had never been so rich!

Although the number that the household department can raise is still some way from the actual number needed, the military department can also make it up! The Ministry of War is in charge of the Taifu Temple, and the Taifu Temple, as a department that buys war horses for the army, actually has a part of the power to collect land taxes for the forage of war horses!

Chongzhen, the family background on the side of the household department, is not very able to grasp it, but Chen Xinjia of the military department is a confidant, and eighty percent of the rest of the money and food can be made up by the military department!

"Could it be that God has also taken pity on me and revived the country?"

The last divergent thought in Chongzhen's mind was withdrawn, and when his eyes were fixed on Wang Zhengzhi, he suddenly saw Fu Shuxun's solemn expression behind Wang Zhengzhi.

At this moment, Fu Shuxun's mind continued to sink, and he secretly scolded the traitor for misleading the country, and thought sharply in his heart.

Wang Zhengzhi is digging a pit for him again! Wang Zhengzhi obviously had the support of the officials of the household department, as long as the officials were less greedy, it was still possible to transfer 400,000 taels of military salaries.

On the contrary, Fu Shuxun, who was regarded as a thorn in the side of the officials at this moment, let alone 400,000 taels, even if there was a way to move out 100,000 taels, he would be bad by the officials.

But can you say these words in front of the emperor? Wang Zhengzhi can take out 400,000 taels, Fu Shuxun can't even take out 100,000 taels, isn't it a shame to say it? As the head of the household, he can't even cure the officials and deputies, and it's even a matter of ability!
