    Liu Jian was also stunned. He looked at the list carefully and couldn't help but click his tongue.

    This is just one guard with five thousand people.

    His Highness the Crown Prince¡¯s idea is to set up a standing army of thirty-six guards in the future.

    Not only that, in the future, it is even necessary to establish a system to ensure military armaments. If there is a major war, the guard of 5,000 people will be expanded to 20,000 people.

    If calculated this way, how can the military supplies have so much money in the national treasury?

    This is tantamount to a bottomless pit.

    Liu Jian glanced at Li Dongyang and Xie Qian with complicated eyes, and Li Dongyang smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness has good intentions. The current guard station is indeed full of problems. Perhaps changing the hereditary guard station to a standing army can indeed eliminate many hidden dangers."  . This is the first army established by His Majesty. It is understandable that His Majesty the Crown Prince is eager for success, but Two million taels of silver. Even if it is to be maintained in the future, it will require more than one million taels of silver a year, and it will need to be expanded in the future.  , more guard posts need to be set up, and the money required will only increase! Hey, my Ming Dynasty, how can I have so much spare energy. Liu Gong, what do you think? "

    Liu Jian had a bit of helplessness on his face, and sighed: "Didn't Your Majesty make it very clear? There is no reason to break one's trust in the edict issued by the Crown Prince. This is related to military affairs and should not be underestimated."  , the Ministry of War should try its best to cooperate with this matter. "

    "What?" Ma Wensheng almost exploded when he heard the cooperation. He came here to find support, not just these two words.

    Ma Wensheng is not stupid. He immediately pointed out a difficult point: "If the Ministry of War wants to cooperate, the Ministry of Household Affairs must first allocate money and food. If not, how can we cooperate?"

    When Li Dongyang heard this, he thought about it carefully, then glanced at Liu Jian and smiled.

    He seemed to understand the implication of Liu Jian's words, so he said: "This is easy to handle. The Ministry of War and other places should save some money. The money that should be allocated to the Ministry of Revenue will not be less."

    Ma Wensheng was stunned for a moment. He never expected that even Li Dongyang, who also served as the Minister of Household Affairs, would agree with this!

    He couldn¡¯t understand how the cabinet ministers, who usually spent tens of thousands of taels of money, suddenly became so generous.

    Ma Wensheng was still unwilling to give in, so he said with a sullen face: "My lords, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not. Although in the past, those imperial censors and Hanlin Qingliu were chasing after the wind and shadow all day long, saying nothing, and impeaching everywhere.  Inviting people to buy people's hearts is a great evil. Over the years, after your Majesty's rectification, the atmosphere has been greatly changed, which can be said to have eradicated the old disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty. But as far as the matter is concerned, putting an end to silent talk does not mean that if it is for  If something is wrong, you should be silent about anything. What you should avoid is overcorrecting. How can we let such absurd and nonsense policies go unchecked? Instead of stopping them, we condone them What is the reason for this?  ?¡±

    Liu Jian remained silent as if the old god was there.

    Li Dongyang smiled, glanced at Liu Jian, and said, "How can you know if it's bad governance or not if you don't try?"

    Ma Wensheng raised his voice and said, "But these five thousand people alone are two million taels of silver?"

    Li Dongyang said: "Since Ma Shangshu knows that two million taels of silver is not a decimal and feels distressed, then the palace"

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    This was really a word that woke up the dreamer. Ma Wensheng, who had been annoyed all this time, finally understood something at this time.

    The cabinet opposed it and poured cold water on the prince.

    It¡¯s better to just go with the flow.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? We heard that the cost was so great, that the army alone cost so much money, I am afraid that Your Majesty is very distressed.

    On the other hand, the prince spent so much money and only built a new army of 5,000 people. Sooner or later, he will hit a wall.

    But everyone knows that the current Crown Prince has a temperament that will not shed tears until he sees the coffin. If he strongly opposes it now, it will only cause His Highness the Crown Prince to backlash. Who knows whether His Highness the Crown Prince will do something earth-shattering without support?  Let him give up on his own!

    Sure enough ginger is still spicy.

    Ma Wensheng figured it out, and his heavy heart suddenly became lighter, so he said happily: "Okay, that's the case, then the Ministry of War is doing its best to cooperate with the prince. The Ministry of War will find a way to raise the money that should be paid and the manpower required by His Highness.  We will have material resources and the Ministry of War will definitely assist us."

    Liu Jian said: "Don't forget that the previous Wei system has reached the point where it must be changed. The prince's regulations are just excessive, but this does not mean that our Ming Dynasty is still conservative and incomplete, so the Ministry of War took advantage of this  The prince?Therefore, protecting low-level military attach¨¦s and veterans is a top priority.

    In addition, the military training minutes particularly advocate the role of the backbone.

    In order for the army to carry out orders and prohibitions, in addition to logistical support to make officers and soldiers worry-free, there is also a system of drills and military laws that must be followed.

    Of course in this charter, to put it bluntly, money is still needed.

    Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly when he heard this, and turned to look at Ma Wensheng: "How is Ma Qing's family?"

    Ma Wensheng said: "Your Majesty, the king is commanding the military, and I don't hear anything wrong with it. However the soldier hierarchy he proposed divides soldiers into three levels. The most questionable one is the salary of veterans. I feel that  , is it too much? There are also low-level military attach¨¦sthe salaries of these seventh-grade, eighth-grade, and ninth-grade military attach¨¦s"

    "Father." Zhu Houzhao said: "The soldiers train day and night, how hard it is, and the military law is strict. If we can't let them have no worries, how can we let them drill peacefully in case of emergencies. I think this is  The most secure constitution is that I am a person who has led soldiers and knows the hardships of the soldiers, but the court is always willing to spend money on it, which will inevitably make people feel chilled."

    Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Zhu Houzhao helplessly, and his heart ached. This child didn't know how expensive firewood and rice were when he was not a family member.

    "This matter Let's discuss it later." Emperor Hongzhi said he felt sorry for the money, but he was still determined to have another look and see if the First Army could achieve any results.

    Seeing this, Ma Wensheng suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report."

    "Huh?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at Ma Wensheng.

    Ma Wensheng said: "A few days ago, I sent someone to inspect the Yuzhou Guard camp, but I found that the Yuzhou Guards Ji Senran was well-organized. His commander Jiang Bin was stubborn and brave. The Yuzhou Guards were proud of daring to fight. Back then  ¡­ They participated in the battles against the Tatars and performed meritoriously many times. Today, they are still guarding Yuzhou, and their officers and men are elite.¡±

    Weizhou Wei

    Ma Wensheng suddenly mentioned Weizhou Wei, which made many people interested.

    "Obviously this is an ordinary guard post, but Ma Wensheng, as the Minister of War, praised it very highly.

    You must know that the Yuzhou Guards raised by the imperial court do not need money. A Yuzhou Guard who does not need money can become an elite and, as Ma Wensheng said, a strong army, then

    Others are naturally speculating about something in their hearts.

    But when Fang Jifan heard the word Jiang Bin, he was shocked. WeizhouJiang Bin

    But that the dog who was favored by Zhu Houzhao in history, regarded as his adopted son, and had great power?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
