    Liu Yishui saw that Fang Congzhe and Zhang Weixian were making a lot of money, so he quickly stepped forward to smooth things over and said: "It's useless for you two to argue like this. The more serious thing is to find a way to get money as soon as possible. Besides, there are still a lot of unresolved problems in the capital.  !¡±

    Fang Congzhe then remembered that there was a bunch of idiots knocking on the gate at the Meridian Gate!

    The old man also knew that he had nothing to do with Zhang Weixian today, so he could only walk down the slope and said: "That's it for today. I still have important things to deal with. Anyway, the old prince wants the five million taels of silver. The court is  You can't take it out even if you live or die, so I ask the old man to think carefully and reduce it as much as possible!"

    Zhang Weixian said with a confused look: "Mr. Fang Ge, the five million taels of silver I want is enough to take care of the court's difficulties. Who has allowed the court to withhold military pay too much over the years? Now the Ministry of War wants to cheer up the military morale, but it has no money.  But it¡¯s absolutely impossible!¡±

    Fang Congzhe said angrily: "Do those soldiers only have money in their hearts and no loyalty to the emperor and the country?"

    Li Rubai was lying on the stretcher and watching the excitement. After hearing what Fang Congzhe said, he couldn't help but sneered and said: "Mr. Fang Ge, what you said is wrong. Go and see the soldiers of our Guards.  All of them dare to risk their lives for His Majesty, but His Majesty is also a sage. He knows that serving as a soldier requires food, and playing for fun means one's life, so the food and salary are sufficient. However, when the governor was in Liaodong, the military salary came from the Ministry of Household Affairs.  After allocating it, no one can handle it? When 100% of the military pay leaves the household department, only 70% is left. After passing it through the hands of Governor Ji Liao, only 40% is left. This 40% of the military pay reaches the hands of the governor, and there is still 40% left.  If 20% is to be peeled off, less than 10% will actually reach the hands of the soldiers below. Just for this, the soldiers of Liaodong have been fighting against the Eastern captives for so many years. Isn¡¯t this called loyalty to the emperor and the country?"

    After Fang Congzhe and Liu Yishui heard this, their faces twitched. They also knew that the officials below were rude, but they didn't expect that it would reach such a level. Think about the soldiers on the front line holding less than 10% of the money.  The military pay is still struggling, and they really can't think of anything else to say!

    Zhang Weixian also sighed at this time, shook his head and said: "I want these five million taels just to make up for this year's deficit. If the accumulated wages and silver owed are included, plus the replacement of armor and equipment, the court is afraid that  I need to prepare another 20 million taels of silver!"

    Fang Congzhe and Liu Yishui are already numb. This means that if they don't bite the lice, they don't have to worry about the debt. Fang and Liu can still earn five million taels!

    Twenty million taels?

    Stop making trouble, even if you turn the Ming Dynasty court upside down, you won¡¯t be able to get it together!

    "Okay, okay!" Fang Congzhe waved his hands impatiently and said, "That's it for today. Let's talk about the money thing together in person tomorrow!"

    Say it!

    Fang Congzhe left the tent without looking back. As civil servants, Liu Yisui and Xu Guangqi naturally had to follow Fang Congzhe, so they bowed their hands and left dejectedly!

    The emperor has also left, the civil servants have also left, and the two generals Zhang Weixian and Li Rubai are left, so naturally it will be much easier!

    Zhang Weixian squatted down next to Li Rubai and said with curled lips: "Old Li! You are a blessing in disguise! You have become His Majesty's Guards, with military pay, equipment, men and horses, so you don't have to worry about anything.  Brother, I¡¯m suffering because I took over the Ministry of War¡¯s mess, and even before I took office, I was in debt!¡±

    Li Rubai lay on the stretcher, his pride was beyond words, but he still said politely: "Old Duke, you don't have to complain. Your Majesty is here as the Holy King. Tens of millions of taels of silver are worth something. It's difficult for us."  , but in His Majesty¡¯s eyes, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not a big deal. When you go to see His Majesty tomorrow, just tell the truth. I guarantee that Your Majesty can solve these difficult problems for you!¡±

    Zhang Weixian¡¯s eyes lit up and he lowered his voice and asked, ¡°Do you think His Majesty can get twenty million taels of silver?¡±

    Li Rubai said without comment: "Anyway, I believe that your Majesty has this ability!"

    Zhang Weixian slapped his thigh, stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "In that case, I won't bother myself anymore. Today I'm going to give you some advice, Brother Li. When you recover from your injury tomorrow, I'll treat you to a drink and say goodbye!"

    Li Rubai lay down and clasped his fists and said, "Please forgive me for being injured and not being able to send him far away!"

    Zhang Weixian strode forward and said as he walked: "Brother Li, just rest in peace and recuperate, no need to be polite!"

    After everyone was gone, Li Rubai slowly got up from the stretcher. Although he was beaten with twenty military sticks, the big Han soldiers who were in charge of the punishment did not hit him hard. Although there were still burning pains in his buttocks, it was nothing serious.  hinder!

    "Huh!" Li Rubai let out a long breath, and then said loudly: "PasswordThe commander-in-chief ordered that the auxiliary barracks, combat barracks, and youth battalions must be allocated today. From tomorrow, troop training will begin in accordance with the drills left by His Majesty. If there is any delay in military law for each battalion!  "

    On the road from Daying in the west of the city to Beijing, a car, protected by several guards, swayed toward the capital. Sitting in the car were Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui, and Xu Guangqi!

    Fang Congzhe had just become angry, and now he still looked bad. Liu Yishui was advising beside him: "Mr. Fang Ge, why are you so angry? From now on, the Ministry of War will not be under our control. This is just a matter of money."  There will only be more things happening, and if it always happens like this, I¡¯m afraid your body won¡¯t be able to bear it!¡±

    "Alas!" Fang Congzhe sighed and said, "Mr. Liu Ge, half of my anger is with the British father-in-law, and the other half is with the unsatisfactory officials. Why do they owe so many bad debts?"  How much money did you put in your pocket?"

    After hearing this, Liu Yishen's face also fell: "I used to think that our officials in the Ming Dynasty lived a hard life, and it was reasonable for everyone to share the benefits. But today, it seems that this is not sharing the benefits?  It¡¯s just a matter of force and robbery!¡±

    Fang Congzhe suddenly remembered something, glanced at Liu Yishen, and asked, "What are Mr. Liu Ge's plans for the southeast?"

    Liu Yishui knew that what Fang Congzhe was talking about was Zhu Youxiao's plan to deal with the big families in the southeast. He pondered for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "Since your majesty has a decree, I can only let it go. I only hope that the gang in the southeast  If you wake up, there may be a glimmer of hope!"

    It¡¯s obvious that Liu Yishen no longer intends to take care of the big players in the southeast!

    At this time, Xu Guangqi suddenly said with a bitter face: "In the past few days when I took over the Ministry of Industry, I also discovered some things!"

    Fang Congzhe and Liu Yishui turned green after hearing this. They both looked at Xu Guangqi, making Xu Guangqi, who had gray hair and beard, feel a little hot on his face!

    After a long time, Fang Congzhe sighed again and said, "Just tell me what you discovered first!"

    Xu Guangqi then said: "The lower official found that not only the materials registered by the Ministry of Industry were seriously missing, but the number of armors and weapons stored in the warehouse was also not in line with the quantity, and the quality was ridiculously poor. If the British government requested to withdraw ordnance from the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry, I am afraid that  The warehouse of the Ministry of Industry cannot cope with it!"

    Fang Congzhe and Liu Yishui almost fell asleep in one breath. They looked at Xu Guangqi blankly, really not knowing what to say!

    Finally, Fang Congzhe asked feebly: "How many qualified ordnances can the Ministry of Industry produce now?"

    Xu Guangqi¡¯s face became even more miserable, and he said: ¡°If it¡¯s based on passing the exam, the Ministry of Industry will probably not be able to get even one thing out of it!¡±

    "Hehehehe!" Fang Congzhe laughed, like a night owl entering the house. After laughing, Mr. Fang Ge cursed with cold eyes: "These sons of bitches still have the nerve to knock on the door.  Knock on his motherfucker!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
