In the capital, a fast horse galloped towards the palace from the central Zhuque Street at an extremely fast speed. This time it was not a battle report from the border, but a good news from Tianjin.
In the brand-new Qianqing Palace of the Imperial Palace, in the study of Emperor Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi was discussing the reform of the military system with several ministers.
The reform of the military system is a major event. Although it has been finalized to carry out the reform according to the plan submitted by British Prime Minister Zhang Mao, such a major military event involving the army must not be implemented in a hurry and all aspects of the details, etc. It also requires repeated discussions and research.
The next step is to carry out pilot projects. After the pilot results are obvious, we will promote it nationwide. This is also Liu Jin's advice to Zhang Mao.
Such a method has been used for a long time in later generations. Try it first and see the effect. If it works, then promote it on a large scale. In this way, you can try out a stable transition. If there are problems, you can Stop in time.
"Your Majesty, my opinion is that we can try it out here in Beizhili for the time being, build a military academy first, see the effect, and then decide whether to promote it on a large scale."
Zhang Mao said to Emperor Hongzhi and the ministers.
"Well, this is a good idea~"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded to express his support. As for Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian, they also nodded slightly. They were afraid of a one-size-fits-all thing and would have to fully promote the new system throughout the Ming Dynasty at once, which would easily lead to problems.
This kind of pilot method is a good method. Let¡¯s see the effect first. If the effect is good, we can slowly promote it.
The area where Emperor Hongzhi has been hesitant is that after the reform of the military system, military expenditures must come from the emperor's internal funds. This is where he hesitates the most.
Military expenditures are not a small amount, especially after the reform of the military system. The Ming Dynasty's army will be completely separated from production. Hundreds of thousands of troops a year will be completely separated from production and will be purely consumed. All this will be counted on the emperor, and this expenditure will be very large. The horror is far, far greater than the current military household system.
Although Emperor Hongzhi is rich now, and the many industries he has invested in are continuously making money for him, but who knows whether this can last long, and who knows whether there will be some great changes in the future?
He was hesitant, which is why the reform of the military system has not yet begun.
After discussions during this period, the plan has been made in detail, and all aspects of the details have been fully discussed.
Now Zhang Mao proposes to conduct a pilot project first, which is in line with Emperor Hongzhi's wishes. The pilot project means that there is no need for large-scale promotion, but to build an army first and try building a military academy. It does not cost much money.
Emperor Hongzhi would still be willing to give up this small amount of money. If he spent a million taels of silver on it, he, Emperor Hongzhi, would not even blink an eye.
"What do you think?"
Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while and asked Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian.
"I think this is indeed a good idea. Let's pilot it first and see the effect."
Liu Jian nodded to express his support. Reform of the military system is imperative, and the military household system is indeed terrible. Whether this compulsory military service system will work or not, we will know after giving it a try.
"I think it's okay~"
Li Dongyang and Xie Qian also gave the same answer.
"Since everyone thinks it is possible, let's try it here in Beizhili first and build a military academy to see how it goes."
Emperor Hongzhi saw that several important ministers had no objections, and he made the final decision on the matter.
At this time, a small yellow door hurriedly came to the door. Xiao Jing hurried over and quickly dragged a tray and said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty. The fleet has returned from the Golden Continent. Not only did it bring We came back with several high-yielding crops, and we also brought back gold and silver worth thirty million taels of silver.¡±
Xiao Jing¡¯s words were very clearly conveyed to the ears of everyone present.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering if their ears had heard wrongly.
"You mean thirty million taels?"
Zhang Mao asked Xiao Jing.
"Yes, there are gold and silver worth thirty million taels of silver, including one million taels of gold and twenty million taels of silver. The total value is thirty million taels."
Xiao Jing quickly said seriously and carefully again.
"One million taels of gold?"
"Twenty million taels of silver?"
When everyone heard this, everyone immediately stared.There are objections. For such a big event, which is worthy of universal celebration, Emperor Hongzhi cannot reward him too much.
Soon, the chef in the imperial kitchen simply cooked the corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes and sent them to Emperor Hongzhi's study.
"Hmm~ This corn is quite fragrant."
Emperor Hongzhi smelled the fragrance of corn and couldn't help but smile and said: "Come on, come on, everyone has a taste. We are almost the first to eat crabs."
Liu Jian and Zhang Mao were not polite, and each of them began to taste the food.
Someone has already tasted this stuff and made sure it is not poisonous before it can be sent to Emperor Hongzhi.
"Well, this corn tastes really good."
With just a taste, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but smile.
"This sweet potato is also very sweet and tastes good."
Liu Jian ate the sweet potatoes and nodded with a smile.
"This potato is also good, almost like rice, and is very suitable for eating with other dishes."
Li Dongyang also commented with a smile on the potatoes he ate.
"Haha, at least the taste is very good. As long as there is no problem with the output, then my Ming Dynasty will be famine again."
Emperor Hongzhi is really happy today, you can tell just by hearing the laughter. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
