Since they have already made it straight to the point, they will naturally speak freely.∈◆,

Zheng Rong was very rude. In fact, there was a reason for not being rude. Because the difficulties of the Five Military Mansions, to put it bluntly, it was the affairs of Your Highness King of Wei. Who doesn’t know that these five towns have become the world of your Qin family. The affairs of the Five Towns are the family affairs of your Qin family. Now your Qin family is in trouble, but not me.

So he began to complain: "Your Highness, this year's expenses are extremely high. You can open up canals, build bridges and roads, build water conservancy, and even to accommodate the slaves from each family, the expenses of the Five Army Mansions are quite large. I won't talk about these. Just saying that you want to do things, no one will succeed. Therefore, the Five Army Mansions also followed the example of Shence Mansion and eliminated the previous tragic servitudes. It should be appointing officials, which will cost a lot in a year."

"Now the stalls of the Five Military Mansions are too big, but there is no way. Everything is closely related. After one is left, it is difficult to use other places. Let's talk about developing the canal. Isn't the canal just to facilitate merchants? I hope that merchants can do some business in more than 30 states in five towns and thirty states, but a canal alone is not enough. If the road is muddy, it may not attract people, so they must build bridges and pave roads. Since this is the case, the merchants must be exempted from coming. If they cannot recruit labor, wouldn't the workshop be useless? Five towns and thirty cents and thirty cents have to be recruited.

There are many provinces, but there are many problems. Since the young and strong people are attracted from the countryside to the city, what should we do if the farmland is? Farming is the fundamental thing. Once there is no one to cultivate so many fields and are deserted there, something big is going to happen. Therefore, we have to build agriculture and build water conservancy to make up for the shortcomings of farmers. Water conservancy is not enough. We have to learn from Shence Mansion and try our best to replace them with animal power. However, most of the people in the five towns are poor and expect them to buy cattle and horses themselves? This money must be paid in advance by the government. They are all cattle and horses bought by the Five Military Mansions themselves, and are pushed to farmers at a low price."

"So many things, people have to be recruited to manage. In short, wherever you go, it is all money. The lower officials presided over the Five Military Mansions. Now they understand that the so-called governance is to spread money. After the money is spread, the effect is naturally there. A lot of workshops in the five towns have been opened and a lot of merchants have also come. The farmlands everywhere are still stable. Some canals everywhere have been repaired. Some are still continuing to develop. The people below are looking forward to good days, but these changes are all piled up by His Highness. It is only more than nine months this year, and the money spent as much as 30 million yuan. This is a considerable expense.

But he was a junior official, but he felt that the money was worth it. After the canal, road and water conservancy were roughly built, there would be no need to have such a large expense. However, repairing and repairing, occasionally some small projects were required. In addition, it was to lead Taiping Academy to various states and open branch schools. There were many such things, laying a solid foundation, and then... it would slowly get on track. Three or five years later, although more than 30 states of the Five Military Prefectures could not reach the territory of Shence Prefecture, it was expected that it would definitely become a prosperous place, and the people could live and work in peace and contentment, and the taxes collected on the spot could barely maintain their income and expenditure."

"But in recent years, it has been crucial. This year's expenses are so. The following officials estimate that even if the Five Military Mansion tightens its belt next year, the expenses will be more than 30 million yuan. It is not that the lower officials are coming to cry for poverty. There is really no way. The lower officials heard that Your Highness wants to expand the army. This matter... The lower officials strongly agree. Expansion is the top priority and should not be underestimated. It is precisely because of this that the Fifth Military Mansion should work with His Highness to share the difficulties. In the Fifth Military Mansion, the lower officials have also recruited staff members to save money, but... what should be spent is not saved..."

Qin Shaoyou listened carefully. In fact, Qin Shaoyou is indeed difficult. To some extent, there are too many places to ask for money now, which is impossible. His stall was indeed a bit large, and he was training troops, improving institutions in all aspects, promoting education and agriculture, and developing canals everywhere.

Qin Shaoyou is quite similar to Emperor Yang of Sui. Of course... the only thing Qin Shaoyou is better than Emperor Yang of Sui is that Henan Prefecture has finally developed, and every year's income can indeed be used for him to spend money.

Of course... squandering is limited. At least now, when Zheng Rong asked for money, Qin Shaoyou felt quite embarrassed, because Qin Shaoyou knew that this amount of money could not be saved. He could not stop the canal halfway through the construction. The recruited officials directly owed their salary. Since they had a big appetite at the beginning, they had to spend the money now.

Zheng Rong glanced at Qin Shaoyou and continued, "Since you can't save money, the officials can only take some measures. The Shence Mansion can borrow less money. The Five Military Mansions can reduce expenses, but it is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish. The officials are not here to beg for alms, but hope that several decrees will be passed in the Convent Hall. Of course, the officials know that if there is no His Highness nod, the Convent Hall will not be able to pass."

Seeing that he was confident, Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but say, "Master Zheng has already developed a way to deal with it."

Zheng Rong said: "Of course, since the army is to be expanded, the vast majority of the expansion is the fifth military camp. The fifth military camp is stationed in Weizhou. Why not buy the military supplies on the spot? In this way, it will save a lot of unnecessary transportation expenses. In addition, once the decree is promulgated, the subordinates..." He blinked and couldn't help but have a humorous meaning of Qin Shaoyou: "To be honest, the subordinates have bought a large piece of land near the fifth military camp at a low price. As long as the decree is issued, then, the relevant commercial banks in Henan Prefecture will not hurry there to open workshops to supply military supplies. I have calculated that selling land will be a profit, and taxes will be an income. The pressure in the fifth military patrol will be greatly alleviated next year."

Zheng Rong finally saw the dagger.

But his method is very realistic.

There are some workshops in the five towns now, but they have not yet formed a scale. After all, many facilities are not perfect. Although the merchants are ready, they have not directly invested their money.

Since that's the case, then just give a decree. Anyway, the military supplies are purchased by the Fifth Army camp, and it's nothing to make some mandatory regulations. At that time, the workshops that supply the Fifth Army camps have to move to Weizhou. To open workshops, they need land. Zheng Rong put his mind on the land, and once it is opened, it will supply 200,000 military and horses, and it requires a lot of personnel. It can also drive many related industries in Weizhou. If you want to make military uniforms, you must need cloth and leather goods. Then a workshop with military uniforms must have workshops for textiles and raw silk. The cloth must be dyed, and then there will be dyeing workshops. The swords, guns, swords, and halberds also require steel and wood. In short, by then, many merchants will gather, and the taxes of the Fifth Army Palace will be greatly increased next year.

After hearing this, Qin Shaoyou couldn't help laughing. It turned out that Zheng Rong was making this idea. This guy was also very smart. The previous model was that Shen Ce Mansion moved money and grain to the Five Military Mansions, but obviously, Zheng Rong was not satisfied with this. Of course, it would be better to have the ability to make blood by relying on people to help him.

However, this proposal is quite interesting. At least it can solve some urgent problems, and... it is indeed beneficial to the Five Military Mansions and the Five Military Mansions. So it is not harmful to Qin Shaoyou.

So Qin Shaoyou pondered for a moment, then said, "This matter...is OK, but the Shence Mansion and the Secretariat Hall still need to say hello, otherwise, I'm afraid there will be cursing."

Zheng Rong smiled: "The official has already sent a visit to see Wang Xianxian and Brother Yang. I am afraid that I will negotiate with them tonight."

Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but murmur in his heart, I'm afraid this guy has planned everything, and I must have expected that he would agree. He is really a scheming person.

Qin Shaoyou smiled bitterly: "Stop, since that's the case, you go and talk first. If you nodded there, you can go with the flow. If they refuse, I will come forward. Zheng Shizhong's affairs are actually my affairs, and I don't know each other. Since it's a good proposal, I naturally have to do it quickly."

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The matter finally settled. Although Zheng Rong knew that the real resistance should not be Qin Shaoyou, since Qin Shaoyou gave an accurate answer, he felt relieved. He took a sip of tea and smiled and said, "Your Highness, Chang'an, it seems that it is very moving."

After all, he was a servant, so of course it is impossible to have a limited vision to the Five Military Mansions. Now, there is still time left, so I just want to talk about some gossip.

Qin Shaoyou nodded: "Empress Wei is now retreating and advancing. The emperor is wise. She is so quick to make the Wei family lose their power."

Zheng Rong smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, actually, there is a saying in the lower lord, I don't know whether to speak or not."

Qin Shaoyou smiled: "Shizhong Zheng, are there anything else you and me to avoid?"

Zheng Rong said lightly: "Actually... the root of the problem has never been the Wei family. Doesn't your highness understand? If the problem is with the Wei family, things will be much easier. Those close ministers and royal relatives from ancient times to the present have been covered by power when they are powerful, but it is just an imperial edict to eradicate them."

"You must ask, the Wei family has offended many people in recent years. They have taken over power and appointed private individuals in recent years. Don't everyone understand? But why did no one dare to stand up and stop the Wei family doing this?"

"This is because of the emperor's indulgence, because everyone understands that when the son of the Wei family is obedient, he even does not hesitate to be a son emperor, and is controlled everywhere without knowing it. But what if the Wei family is eliminated, what can I do if the emperor is cleared? Even if the Wei family is gone, there will still be a second and third Wei family. After all, it is just that the emperor is dark and unclear."

This sentence came from Zheng Rong's mouth, but it was a different feeling.

He has been in the court for a long time and has seen too much fighting. His passion has long been cold, and his water chestnuts have been completely wiped out.

It was precisely because of his disheartened heart that he thought about it later that he realized that the Wei family he hated was essentially not a problem with the Wei family.

It's just that these words are a bit rude.

Seeing that Qin Shaoyou's face was still calm, Zheng Rong continued, "So as long as the emperor is still there, the Wei family will always be invincible. Although the emperor's departure has certainly saved some situations, but so what? In fact... in the end, it was just barely protecting itself, but it took one year, two years and three years to protect it. After all, the Wei surnamed will have a solid state. The emperor's age is old, after all, and the subordinate official said something that should not be said. How many years can the emperor live? After a few years, once the emperor dies, will he have to go back to the beginning?"

"Your Highness is not a way to recruit soldiers and horses now. But it is not enough. The root of the problem is still on the people's hearts. Sometimes it is the least important, but sometimes it is more important than anything else. The reason why the Wei family can hold the emperor and command the princes is because of this person's heart. The reason why your highness can gain a foothold here is because of the people's hearts. The Wei family has an emperor and his highness has an emperor. But once the emperor makes any mistakes, does your highness really think that you can take advantage of the world by borrowing 200,000 soldiers? The official believes that this is the worst strategy. When the emperor was in the first place, he also held the troops of the world, but so what? He can't resist the Li family after all, so the official believes that at this point, your highness should prepare for the future."

When Zheng Rong talked about this, he showed some concern.

Qin Shaoyou smiled faintly and said, "What Zheng Shizhong said is so good, and it is natural to plan ahead. It is precisely because of this that I have already compiled a book and asked His Highness the Second Prince to come to Luoyang for a temporary stay."

The second prince...

Zheng Rong's eyes first glanced with a hint of surprise, and then he immediately understood something, and then said, "Is the second prince willing to come?"

Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but smile: "It's his business whether he is willing to do so. I'm just giving him a choice."
