Chapter 1555 Appropriation
"I don't know what to say." Wen Anzhi smiled bitterly, and he really felt like he was having something to say.
"Cabinet Conference." Ho Weihua said cautiously: "He wants to resign, of course he has to be the only one. This dynasty has never had the reason to force him to keep people. Besides, what is the command of his ward? Everyone in the world knows that the court has no reason to force him to keep him... Besides, he has no reason to force him to keep him... Besides, he seems to have no reason to stop him from returning to Xinpingbao. His ancestral home and business foundation are in Xinpingbao. Can't we say that he will go home? As for the consecration of prisoners, this controversy is difficult to decide for a while."
"You still want to offer prisoners?" Huang Daozhou shouted violently: "Don't look for this ugly!"
The words were quite ugly, but Huo Weihua agreed very much and said with a wry smile: "There is also such a view. Everyone knows that Lin Danhan is a prisoner in Hutchison. It is a good reason for us to offer prisoners... At that time, the offer of prisoners will be ugly, and the court will be very embarrassed. And it is also embarrassing to offer prisoners quietly. No matter what, the court will lose face. Therefore, it is better to refuse the issue of prisoners."
Lu Xiangsheng said at this time: "This is just a little bit... I think all the ministers shouldn't be very troublesome about this matter, right?"
"Yes." Hovehua admitted: "What is really troublesome is Zhang Han's return to Xinpingbao."
Lu Xiangsheng said: "The representatives thought that Zhang Han was ambitious, and the court adviser also led this person to fuck him, and he was like a rampant person. This person actually left the grassland foundation and returned to the territory of the Ming Dynasty. He also said that he would take his family, wife and children to accompany him. As soon as the news spread, the previous denial of Zhang Han's character guided by the court would be immediately overturned."
"Who said no?" Huo Weihua said frowningly: "Zhang Han has become a wronged hero, and we have become villains who are jealous of his achievements and stumbling against him."
In terms of details, Huo Weihua also made great efforts to deal with Zhang Han's series of actions. He originally thought that he would stammer Zhang Han in the north, and it would be difficult to attack the Ming Dynasty in the short term. He gave the Ming Dynasty some buffer time to deal with the 100,000 troops. The focus was on strengthening Jizhen and Xuanda. As a result, the move was only a few months. After Zhang Han got the Chahar and caught Lin Danhan, he broke the situation. The effort he had spent before was wasted.
Not only that, Zhang Han retreated to Qingcheng and did not return to Xinpingbao.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Zhang Han is usually kind and righteous, and Hutchison's business method is quite peaceful and fair. Hutchison's insurance and logistics have also greatly promoted the development of northern business. Few businessmen do not have a good impression of Hutchison.
Coupled with the existence of the clinic, people who appreciate and respect Hutchison have a great deal.
The previous public opinion was mainly suppressed because the court seized on the theory of heart-killing. Zhang Han had the ability to rebel because he had been secretly managing his own power and had ill-intentioned plans against the Ming Dynasty.
No one can refute this. Originally, there were many people in the Ming Dynasty who were jealous of others and who liked to stand on the moral high ground to criticize others. Under the intentional guidance of the court, Zhang Han's image almost collapsed in a few months.
Now, Zhang Han's backhand attack not only announced his resignation, but also asked about military and political affairs. Hutchison only specialized in business, and he also took his family back to Xinpingbao to live, which completely blocked his doubts.
Even the prides of heaven, the rookies in the capital officialdom, and the middle-aged and young officials with promising futures have nothing to say when they hear about this.
Aren’t these future ministers and grand scholars? The majority of people who have been in the future have been 300 Jinshi in three years and 60,000 Beijing officials and unknown officials.
They can perform well in the Academic Science and Technology A, and stand out in the officialdom, and become famous celebrities in the future. They need no doubt their IQ and experience.
After Hoveyah finished speaking, everyone present could only look at each other, and really didn't know what to say.
After a while, Wang Jilian said: "Even if this person can do this, even if he knows the falsehood, when he mentions that he dares to return to Xinpingbao, he still has nothing to say."
Huang Daozhou nodded and said, "No matter what, this person is brave and entangled!"
Wen Demeng said seriously: "The wisdom is better than others, the courage is better than others, the wealth is more important than others, and the soldiers are more powerful. Such people are unprecedented, unprecedented, and unprecedented."
Huang Daozhou said sternly: "The more you do this, the sooner you must get rid of it!"
Huo Weihua remained silent. After a while, Lu Xiang rose up and said goodbye. He would leave Beijing tomorrow. Officials after he was appointed should not stay in Beijing. If they openly drank for too long, they would easily be impeached by the censor. Even if the court ignored the impeachment of the censor when he was employed, it would affect his image in the scholar and would easily feel disgusted by the emperor.
Everyone knew that Lu Xiangsheng should not stay for a long time, and no one would keep him. After sending him to the second gate together, Lu Xiangsheng went out, and Huo Weihua bowed to everyone.
Of course, no one kept Hovehua. Everyone was moved by the news that Hovehua sent today, and no one continued to look at him coldly, and even drove him out was already considered polite enough.
Huo Weihua rushed out of the Huang Mansion gate. It was already dark. The servants of Huang Mansion had already lit the lanterns hanging high with long poles. The breeze blew, making people feel cool. After all, it was late autumn and the long winter might come at any time. The lanterns were swaying, and the dim lights were not too bright, but in the darkness, the light of these lanterns still helped him a lot. At least, as soon as he left the door, Huo Weihua saw Lu Xiangsheng standing by the horse tied up outside the gate, quietly looking at him.
Huo Weihua smiled slightly, went to Lu Xiangsheng and bowed, "Master Lu seems to know that the officials are coming?"
"I won't wait for Lord Huo's words." Lu Xiangsheng said calmly: "I'm afraid another uninvited guest will come to the Yixing Guild Hall tonight."
He was not too polite, but Huo Weihua didn't care, so he blew up and said, "The love had to be done... Since Lord Lu was feeling something, he should know why the officials came?"
"I probably know what you mean..." Lu Xiangsheng frowned and said, "You are not the kind of person who runs to chat with you. Huang Youxuan and the others are not in charge. After thinking about it, Lord Huo came for me. I know that Zhang Wenlan returned to Xinpingbao and lived in my Yanghecheng, and my Yanghecheng is only a few dozen miles away. Lord Huo's intentions are not known without asking."
"Talking to a sensible person is light and careless." Huo Weihua praised, but his face was unprecedentedly solemn. He said slowly: "Prince Lu had proposed to train 50,000 taels of grain, which cost too much, and the Ministry of Revenue did not agree."
Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said, "Yes, but I also know that the court has recently increased the cost of building the enemy platform and Jizhen defense in Xuanda Great Wall. In addition, we need to build more firearms. Wang Gong Factory suffered a lot of losses and should be compensated as soon as possible. The enemy platform fortress along the border needs to be placed more firearms. As we all know, Hutchison wars are mainly firearms. However, their firearms are excellent and more durable than ours. The gunners and gunners are trained more and are not afraid of loss. Therefore, if you don’t have money and food, you can’t train soldiers. If you don’t have soldiers, what’s the use of repairing the city walls?"
After all, Lu Xiangsheng was only thirty years old and always felt full of enthusiasm and complaints. At this time, when he saw people like Huo Weihua in the center, he naturally complained.
Huo Weihua looked as usual. He heard too many complaints and even criticisms. Lu Xiangsheng was already polite enough.
"The court always has to focus on..."
"I heard that I need to strengthen the Beijing Camp?" Lu Xiangsheng sneered: "Don't stir up this stagnant water in this pond. I don't know how many dead fish and rotten shrimps will be stirred up."
"Authentic." Huo Weihua said: "The sorting out the Rongzheng in the Beijing Camp was proposed by several eunuchs and nobles. The cabinet officials all expressed their opposition. The emperor knew that Cao was not allowed, so he could only instruct them to clean up the troops and train more. The four guards and brave camps should be well controlled, so he would not mention anything else."
"It's okay." Lu Xiangsheng's anger was relieved and said, "If you want to do anything, the court will earn tens of millions of dollars every year, and then it will be said that it will increase by four or five times."
"Money and grain are indeed the most important..." Huo Weihua said carefully: "Mr. Lu still feels too much money and grain at this time, and he really can't ignore it..."
Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng was about to be angry again, Huo Weihua quickly said, "The times are also the momentum. Zhang Han's return to Xinping Fort was a great opportunity and change. No matter what the people in the world think, I mean I must seize this opportunity. The money and grain are very good. The cabinet will take care of the Ministry of Revenue. In the first period, we will first allocate 50,000 taels of silver and 100,000 stones of grain, as well as some cannons and bird guns made by the Ministry of Works. There are not many armors. I asked, and I could allocate 500 ties of double-breasted cotton armor, about 200 mail, and about 50 iron armor. If we form a battalion of about two to three thousand people, these armor will be enough. There are also swords, guns, bows, arrows, cowhide shields, and these things will be as much as possible."
Lu Xiangsheng knew that the other party must have some requests, but the more he listened, the more he became more shocked.
Fifty thousand taels of silver and one hundred thousand s of grain are already huge sums of money that the court has to squeeze out before it can squeeze out. It may have an impact on western Liaoning and Dongjiang.
The imperial court had a great family and had too many places to use money. The Ministry of Revenue was not a clever wife, so it was even harder to cook without rice.
"The court hopes that Lord Lu will train about 3,000 soldiers of the regular barracks within half a year. Even if he is not as good as Need Ding, he will not be similar to those of the current barracks. Usually, he is like a beggar beggar, and he may mutiny on the day he will go to the battlefield to start. When he hears the sound of war drums, he will pee his pants, and when he sees the enemy cavalry, he will turn around and escape..."
"Since the court knows the shortcomings, why not try to get enough soldiers and pay as soon as possible?" Lu Xiangsheng was not polite. The place he was going to was Datong Town, which has always been a place where strong soldiers were produced. Moreover, Lu Xiangsheng felt that in terms of the loyalty of soldiers and generals, Xuan Dajian was more than a hundred times stronger than the Liaoxi soldiers.
"After all, it's just the word "money and food" Huo Weihua sighed and said, "No matter what, it's always true that the court has high expectations for Lord Lu. At least Lord Lu's subordinates are called "small soldiers and pay for them."
"It is not worthy of being a strong armor." Lu Xiangsheng said: "Five hundred entrusted armor, two hundred entrusted armor, fifty entrusted iron armor, or 3,000 entrusted iron armor, or 3,000 people and four hundred entrusted. What is the difference between such a battalion and soldiers from the past? If you want to really use strong soldiers in Datong, you can give at least eight hundred entrusted armor, three hundred entrusted armor, and one of the three soldiers is wearing armor. Remove the archer and fire soldiers, and you will almost look like a strong soldier."
Huo Weihua knew that the man in front of him was quite smart and difficult to fool, and when he arrived, he would definitely find ways to collect local arsenals and ask the governor for money, food, weapons and armor. However, if he could take more in the center of the court, the man in front of him would definitely not be polite.
