Zhu Houzhao hasn't had such pleasure for a long time.

Or, I have never felt as full of hope in my heart, and then I scolded the masters with a stern face.

You, you, you, and you.

Don’t you usually talk nonsense every day? Didn’t you say you want to govern a big country? Bah, I am wise and powerful, otherwise how can this new army of Zhenguo Mansion come out? Otherwise, how can this Zhenguo Mansion take one as ten? I have a wise eye. Without these pairs of wise eyes, how can I look at Ye Chunqiu?

What is this? This is a sign of the Holy Lord.

What's more, Zhu Houzhao seemed to see hope all of a sudden. He wanted to give himself a high hat of a Duke in the Kingdom of China now. Duke in the Kingdom of China is more pleasant than being the emperor.

But several cabinet ministers and tribes could not say anything today, only timidity was left.

What can you say? When Zhu Houzhao talks about how to suppress the Japanese, how to defeat the enemy, and how to train troops, the ministers will be pulled down. Their reasons are very simple. Just let the people below perform their duties. Your Majesty don’t worry about this. The people below can always do their job well.

But now, a slap in the face.

Fortunately, at this time, even Xie Qian, who was most excited, was immersed in joy and was too lazy to argue with Zhu Houzhao.

After a reprimanding, Zhu Houzhao said unsatisfiedly: "The guards must eliminate the old problems and learn from the new army of Zhenguo. Please leave for the time being, Ye Aiqing stayed."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and went out one after another.

In the warm pavilion, only Zhu Houzhao and Ye Chunqiu were left. Zhu Houzhao exclaimed, let out a long breath, and finally covered her stomach and smiled.

Ye Chunqiu looked at this guy...it was quite sad. Sometimes he felt good, sometimes he felt that this guy...well, I still don't complain about you.

"Ye Aiqing..."

Zhu Houzhao stood up long, and he seemed particularly energetic at this time, looking at Ye Chunqiu with a bright look, which was completely different from the decadence he had in the past few days.

He walked forward and pounded Ye Chunqiu's chest lightly, saying, "I thought you had an accident. It seems that the auspicious person has a heavenly appearance. How did I perform just now? Does he look like a hero?"

Ye Chunqiu said without hesitation: "Your Majesty is the hero."

Zhu Houzhao was so happy that she laughed: "I don't believe others say this, but if you say this, I believe it."

Actually, I lied to you too, Ye Chunqiu said silently in his heart.

Zhu Houzhao put his hands behind his back, looking confident: "The new army in Zhenguo really opened my eyes. I never thought that those people were so ignorant. If it weren't for today, I would have thought that the new army in Zhenguo was really vulnerable. Finally... I feel that there are many things to do now, and have you heard clearly? I want to eliminate the ills of the garrison station. All the guards in the world will follow the example of the new army in Zhenguo from now on. Ye Aiqing, I want to be a promising emperor. This is your encouragement to me. I will definitely do what I say. Let me tell you, what are the secrets of practicing the new army? I will recommend it..."

When Ye Chunqiu saw that he was so arrogant, he thought about it and said: "The most important thing in training the new army is to strictly govern the army. The training of the new army in the country is four hours a day. This is the basics, and occasionally you have to do it."

After four hours, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be amazed: "When you say this, I finally know what the disadvantages of my Daming Wei Institute are. Oh... Such a simple problem has never been seen in the past. These idiots. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have been in the dark now. Okay, I remember this one and I should recommend it."

Ye Chunqiu looked at Zhu Houzhao with strange eyes. In fact, he didn't want to sprinkle Zhu Houzhao's cold water, but he still said: "I just want to practice four hours a day, so I can't let the soldiers provide enough supplies. Your Majesty is delicacies in the palace every day, but if you let Your Majesty practice, can you eat it?"

"Uh..." Zhu Houzhao couldn't answer for a moment.

Ye Chunqiu said again: "Your Majesty can hold on, and I can hold on. If you give the best supplies, four hours a day is nothing. Although the new army only has a hundred people, it will kill a dog, two sheep, several chickens and ducks, more than a hundred eggs, and a hundred meters of white flour. Well... I will calculate it. In a day, it will cost about ten taels of silver. Of course, this is just the most basic. After all, since you need to replenish supplies, you must hire someone to supply them. In this case, even if you have to thirty taels a day, it is about nine hundred taels a month, and about ten thousand taels a year. Oh, this is just the most basic expense. Of course, I report it to Duli, and in fact, it doesn't need to be so much. It is estimated that seven or eight thousand taels a day is enough..."

Zhu Houzhao's face collapsed suddenly.

It's embarrassing.

One hundred people spend ten thousand taels of silver a year, this is just a relatively basic expense... Well, if there are one thousand people, it is one hundred thousand taels, and ten thousand people are one million taels. In other words, all the silver taxes in the Ming Dynasty can only support 30,000 such "elite soldiers". Although the commercial taxes in the Ming Dynasty are terrible, but...

Thirty thousand people... And the Ming army was as many as one or two million.

Ye Chunqiu was afraid that Zhu Houzhao would not believe it, so he continued: "The ordinary guards, take the personal army as an example. Their treatment is good, but they can only eat three meals a day, but they are not nutritious enough. If Your Majesty asks me to practice for four hours, it will be no problem. But if Your Majesty only gives me rice and can't see much oil, but let me practice for four hours, I am afraid that I will not only not become a talented soldier, but will only take a few months to die. Therefore, the first thing to do to train a new army is to have money. I will recruit hundreds of people first, so I will do it."

Zhu Houzhao's mood became very melancholy. Suddenly, he fell from the clouds. It turned out that... it was still money.

If all the guards follow the new army, they will be empty in less than a month.

It seems that just now, I told several masters that I wanted the guards to follow the new army. Well, I hope they didn't take it to heart, and I won't mention it in the future.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say, "Ye Aiqing, can there be only one hundred people in the new army?"

Ye Chunqiu shook his head, but Zhu Houzhao rekindled his hope: "Your Majesty, that is why Zhenguo needs to make a lot of money. If there is money, there will be a new army. If there is money, there will be only military households."

When Zhu Houzhao heard the word "Military House" and it was like a snake or a scorpion, he couldn't help but shivered and said quickly: "I... want to earn money... of course, it's handing it over to Ye Aiqing to earn."

Ye Chunqiu smiled with a pursed lips: "I... I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's heavy trust."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes shone brightly. He felt more and more that Ye Chunqiu was credible. Now he looked at Ye Chunqiu who was always looking old and looked so old. It felt so good.
