Zhu Jie is angry!

Shi Kefa also felt the anger in Zhu Jie's eyes, it seemed that he was suspicious, the dignified Zhenguo Gong was when he was young and vigorous, and he would definitely not be confused because of such a small profit!

"Zhen Guogong, it was the lower officials who spoke recklessly, but you must also know that now that the treasury is empty, the Nanjing Household Department borrowed one million taels of silver from Yongxing Bank in one go, even if it is paid off in ten years, it is a large amount, how can we pay it back?"

Zhu Jie took a deep breath and replied: "Lord Ministry, you have to understand that open source and throttle expenditure, open source is always more important than throttling, one hundred taels of silver, even if it is throttling, it is one hundred taels of silver, and it will not become two hundred taels, but open source is different, even if it is thirty taels of silver, it may become three hundred taels of silver in the next step, understand?" A million taels of silver is nothing in my eyes! I'm sure that in three years, we will be able to pay back this money in advance! This is just the beginning, I have already ordered the Yangtze River Naval Division of Dongting Lake, ordering them to go all the way east, and enter the Nanjing Dongting Lake Naval Division will no longer be a guard, but an independent town, the original deputy chief soldier Mao Yuanyi will return to take charge of the Yangtze River Naval Division, within three years, I will supervise the construction of fifteen new warships, the cost of each battleship will not be less than 80,000 taels, reorganize the Daming Naval Division, out of the Yangtze River into the East China Sea! ”

"Into the East China Sea? What are you doing here? ”

Shi Kefa's heart was shocked, and he asked in surprise.

Zhu Jie sneered: "Of course it is a trade, of course it is no longer the tributary trade of the Three Treasures Eunuch Era, but the real commercial trade, which will sell our Ming silk, tea, porcelain, jade, and treasures to the world through trade, and then buy grain from Nanyang and other places to solve the grain shortage in the Central Plains!" ”

"Buying grain from the South Seas?"

Shi Kefa asked in surprise.

"Yes, Shi Butang, you may not know, in Nanyang everything else is expensive, only the price of grain is cheap, the rice there can be planted three seasons a year, the rain is sufficient, the yield is high, the price is less than thirty percent of the Ming rice, I only need to take out one million taels of silver, I can buy four million stone of grain, four million stones, enough for nearly 10 million people to survive the famine!"

Zhu Jie sneered, "As long as I bring in the grain from Nanyang, then those black-hearted businessmen who continue to resell grain to make a fortune will die!" Even these powerful people in the DPRK and China who can't fall off their tails give them a blow to the head! ”

The corners of Shi Kefa's mouth twitched, this Zhu Jie, this is really going to fight to the end with the powerful and wealthy businessmen, the bones are really hard enough!

"Zhen Guogong, it's not me saying you, your strategy is good, and the lower officials fully support it, but you really shouldn't be in such a hurry, do you think those lords and officials will die down? Far from it! This is a conflict of interests, you live or die, no one has a way out, you don't, they don't, the next attack of the magnates is even more deadly, are you ready? You said that favorable conditions have been prepared for disarmament, but don't forget that these soldiers are in the hands of officers, and the perennial accumulation of power cannot collapse in three or two years, so you can't help but guard against it......

Zhu Jie's heart was shocked, he slowly glanced at Shi Kefa, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Ministry, did you get any news?" ”

Shi Kefa nodded and replied: "Yes, there are some rumors, although I can't confirm who is going to make trouble, but I can confirm that it is definitely going to make trouble, and the movement is not small, think about it, you have offended the commanders and commanders in the fourteen guards, once they are twisted into a rope, and then there is a backer behind them, it will really make trouble, enough for you to drink a pot of ......"

Zhu Jie's heart was heavy, Shi Kefa was right, if it was really the commander of the Fourteenth Guard who made the commanders and intellectuals screw together to fight against him, then disarmament was their best excuse, they only needed to incite the emotions of the soldiers below, and in the blink of an eye, they could gather thousands of soldiers to make trouble, and if they really made trouble, there were not many people under their hands, could they control the situation?

Shi Kefa saw Zhu Jie silent, sighed, slowly took out an account book from his arms with his right hand, handed it to Zhu Jie's hand, and said: "Zhenguo Gong, it's still the same sentence, don't be in a hurry, I also know that I can be mediocre, and I can't help you in this matter, but I must not sit idly by, I will leave this booklet to you, I hope it can help you......"

Zhu Jie took the account book, flipped through a few pages, and was shocked - all of them are records of corruption, bribery, and robbery of men and women by various generals in the army. Once the time is ripe and all the lights are out, half of the entire city of Nanjing will collapse!

"Shi Butang, it seems that I still blame you......"

Zhu Jie muttered.

Shi Kefa smiled bitterly: "What's the use of this? Most of them lack strong evidence, and I am alone in Nanjing, once I fire at these people, it will attract the full counterattack of the lords, can I be a secretary of the Nanjing military department to parry? It's all self-immolation, I don't have that ability, I don't have that courage, I don't have such a firm will, maybe, only you, who are determined to kill, can really reorganize the dynasty......"

Zhu Jie nodded solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Ministry, Zhu Jie will never live up to your trust, these people can't run away, I will clean them up one by one, no matter what honorable or powerful they are!" The Ming Dynasty doesn't want these privileged moths! ”

Shi Kefa took a deep breath and laughed: "Zhen Guogong, then it's up to you, it's not too early, the official is leaving!" I wish you a speedy success! Ha ha! ”

Shi Kefa walked away, Zhu Jie looked at the account book in front of him, his heart was more confident, and shouted: "Come on, divide the characters in this account book according to the three towns, copy it again, and hand it over to Zhong Yue, Cha Zhu and Qin Mufeng, and do your best to collect evidence, remember not to act rashly, so as not to startle the snake!" ”

The clerk outside hurriedly closed the account books and began to prepare to copy it, Zhu Jie shook his head, there are too few people who can use it at hand, and he is still a little too big, if he is in Beijing, he is backed by the Tianwei Army, and he wants to clarify the rule of officials, it is very simple, and even Lan Tianzheng's Jinyi Wei can be transferred, and now, he can only rely on himself......

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"

At this time, a guard ran in and said urgently: "Master Qiqi, General Gao Jie has suddenly arrived in Nanjing, and he is asking to see him outside the yamen!" ”
