This is the difference.

Last year, when the Two Lakes area was affected, the ministers agreed with Liu Mingqi's bad idea, using bran porridge to save people, and let the people buy cheaper bran to cook and save their lives.

This is true for Liu Renhuai now. Brass is definitely the majority. He will have to give as much bran as he has. It is important to save his life.

But the border areas are different.

There we have to protect the frontier and fight against the fierce grassland tribes.

Drinking bran porridge every day is like asking them to eat potatoes and sweet potatoes every day. The whole body is soft and has no strength at all. How can you beat a strong enemy?

This is the same as when I was in the late Qing Dynasty, why was my combat effectiveness extremely poor?

You go and see the photos of foreigners taking photos of the Qing army at that time. They are as tall and physical as children aged 12 or 13 years old now. Can such a soldier fight?

Similarly, when the Japanese pirates invaded again, even the X army was thin and thin. How could they fight against the beasts?

I don’t say that the weapons are behind, and that one physical fitness can beat four or five of us. That’s really not a shame!

But in the 21st century, do you think about the physical quality of us and the Eastern people?

Not to mention that one person hits them ten, one person will be fine if one person hits two or three.

This is the importance of eating and nutrition.

My Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were destroyed, and the soldiers were like pigs and dogs slaves. Do you think such an army can defend the country?

joke!

The Dakang Dynasty learned from the lessons of the previous dynasty. Every year, the imperial guards, border troops and garrisons paid a lot of food and salary, and they dare not neglect them at all.

"If this is the case, the court will need to give silver." Zhong Chang looked at Emperor Jinghe, "Emperor, I suggest that you allocate 4 million taels of silver to Sichuan first, and go to Sichuan to purchase bran on a large scale according to the exchange price of one to three during this year's locust plague. The grain will be first distributed from the Sichuan granary, and the court will pay for bran.

When the snow disaster was almost done, we immediately transported grain from the Jingji area, severely suppressed grain prices, and then purchased a batch of grain locally in Sichuan to make up for the losses in the warehouse."

"Can!"

The emperor nodded and agreed to the amount.

Four million taels are a huge number.

But now that the imperial court is rich, the emperor has only earned 15 million taels. Compared with Sichuan, the importance of Xikang is not much.

Of course, these four million will definitely not be all out of here, but the Ministry of Revenue will issue part of it because it was their responsibility.

It’s just that the Ministry of Revenue has been very empty because of frequent disasters in recent years, so the emperor’s help is needed.

The responsible emperor's small treasury was used to subsidize the court.

The emperor who is unresponsible is used for his own enjoyment.

The Dakang Dynasty was very lucky. This emperor was a typical person who used his own money to subsidize the court.
