After all this, Liu Che was thinking. Naturally, he compared the ministers in front of him with Wei Qing.

After a while, Liu Che said dissatisfiedly: "The border war is in a hurry, and the general is wearing iron clothes and quilts all year round, and the border is snowy and windy. But you can't help the soldiers' urgent food and clothing. How can you continue this battle?

I know you have complaints in your heart, and blame me for causing wars again and again, but do you know that I am leading the disaster to the east, and it is better to defeat the Huns in the territory of the Huns than to be disturbed! Are you mute? Talk!"

"Your Majesty is right to scold me. I am really stupid and unable to lead the way. I am extremely ashamed!"

When Gongsun Hong faced Liu Che's harsh voices and expressions, he still wanted to use the tried-and-eat political style to make big things happen and resolve Liu Che's anger.

But he was wrong this time, and he was very wrong. Liu Che firmly interrupted his review: "Prime Minister, don't be careless, speak frankly, and don't useless words!"

Gongsun Hong was stunned for a moment, extremely embarrassed, and stood aside embarrassedly. Liu Che turned his face and asked Ji An, "What do you think should you do?"

Ji An lifted up his sleeves and said bluntly: "I know the emperor's mood at this moment, but in my opinion, it is said that one time and another time cannot be compared with each other.

There was no war with the Huns in the early years of Jianyuan, but now the long-term and huge war is not supported by limited financial resources, and a part of the people's wealth has to be summoned. The current plan is to step up the collection of taxes and speed up the transportation of the grain to serve as an army."

"Do you still need to say this? Any tax increase is a nonsense. What I want is a solution to solve the problem."

At this time, Zhang Tang spoke.

When Liu Che was furious, his mind did not stop working. "I have a plan to help you solve the problem, but I wonder if it's right?"

"Don't be mysterious, just say something!"

"Ahem, I think that it is a quick way to make the people buy titles and redeem the imprisonment. It can be used well and can be used urgently."

As soon as he said that, the ministers present were very surprised, which was simply disrespectful.

Ji An and Sang Hongyang looked at Zhang Tang, from shock to confusion, from confusion to sarcasm, from sarcasm to criticism.

This idea is ridiculous...

Ji An said, "Hmph! I thought Mr. Zhang had any good strategy. It turned out that he wanted the court to sell official positions and titles. Such a subordinate strategy could come from the mouth of the court magistrate? Wouldn't it be laughable to the world when he was about to go out? It's shameful? He was so ashamed to be a member of the army!"

Zhang Tang had expected that his proposal would be opposed by Ji An early in the morning, and it was difficult to convince him, so he didn't care.

Instead, he changed his tone of speaking directly and said calmly and peacefully: "Isn't this a way to enrich the treasury in accordance with the emperor's will? Is it impossible to say it?"

Gongsun Hongdao: "Mr. Ji, please be careful and not impatient for the time being. Let's listen to Mr. Zhang finish his words first."

Seeing that Liu Che had no intention of stopping, Zhang Tang was happy and walked closer to the front: "Your Majesty! I have made a rough estimate. The title set by our dynasty is eleventh level. If the price of the first level is 170,000 and the title is increased by 20,000, a total of more than 300,000 yuan will be collected. With the funds for atonement, it will be enough to enrich the armament."

"Mr. Zhang's words seem to be useful, but they are actually a strategy to ruin the country and disrupt the country." Sang Hongyang's face suddenly became cold. In a hurry, he suddenly interrupted Zhang Tang's words.

"The emperor has been implementing the new system for nine years, with the purpose of revitalizing the dynasty and clearing the political style. If this trend opens, not only will the new system be abolished, but the trend of selling official positions and titles spread. From now on, who will still be willing to do his best to serve the country?

This is the source of chaos and the beginning of corruption! It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!”

"The Grand Secretary's words are reasonable. As the internal historian, the weak minister is responsible for the security of the capital. If the dandy people take care of their lives, they can use gold to atone for their sins. If they think about it carefully, the people in the world will never have peace, bullied, and the Kyoto will never have peace."

Ji An agreed.

"This is not a big deal, I have something to say." Zhang Tang didn't care about their accusations, he only cared about Liu Che's attitude.

"What I call selling titles is to reward officials, called Wugong titles. It is not to sell randomly, but to buy martial titles, but to those who buy martial titles must first be exempted from their official positions.

In this way, the court has income but is actually nothing to do with the political style. Isn’t this the best of both worlds? What I am concerned about is the country, so please let the emperor take a clear look at it!”

Zhang Tang's words were full of earnestness.

At this time, the peacemaker Gongsun Hong spoke again. He directly praised Zhang Tang's careful consideration and said that this was an emergency measure to enrich his military.

"Mr. Zhang's words not only solved the difficulties of the court, but also did not hurt the new system. Now is the time for urgent matters ahead. Your Majesty might as well start from the capital.

In this way, it will not only work in the short term, but also set an example for other counties and countries."

Of course, Ji An would not retreat easily, and retorted: "The emperor has not decided yet. Master, you... hehe! Are you so impatient?"

...

This kind of fierce debate has always been a prelude and necessary procedure for the decision-making of the court meeting in the front hall of Weiyang Palace, and is common in the Xuanshi Hall. In Liu Che's view, this small-scale collision often leads to major decisions.

Therefore, the ministers involved in the discussion will not miss this opportunity to make full statements at this time.

Although Liu Che sometimes loses his temper when he is anxious, he also participates in the discussion and will not hold him accountable for contradicting him.

Liu Che has been listening to everyone's speeches. He seized the opportunity to weigh the weight of every one of them. All the things they said were used by Liu Che to analyze the real motivations hidden behind everyone's words.

Of course, he understood that Ji An and Sang Hongyang's concerns were not unreasonable, but he knew more clearly that solving the current financial constraints was the top priority.

Especially when Zhang Tang separated the two titles, his emotions began to tilt.

But in a moment, it straightened again.

He himself admitted that Zhang Tang had found a way out for getting out of the predicament, and that what Gongsun Hong said was implemented in the capital could also narrow the scope of influence.

Although it was a major measure involving the imperial system, he had to be cautious.

It was not until the little yellow gate sent by Bao Sang came back and whispered to Liu Che that Liu Che smiled happily.

He changed his tone tone at the right time and said to everyone: "What the ministers said today is true and reasonable, but after I have considered this, I have already decided."

He concluded the ministers' argument with a very transcendent attitude: "Money! It is always a curtain wall made of iron. It is dangerous to be greedy and there is no one. If there is nothing, it will be embarrassing. Now things are urgent, so I will just say it.

Military rations and bounties must not be sold. Sang Hongyang, go to President Ma Zhiyu and Ma to count the income of official and commercial and civil and commercial taxes, and store the national treasury, which can solve the tense financial crisis."

As soon as this is said,

His Highness was talking and surprised.

It turns out that the emperor set up the official moves in the face of war!

No wonder...
