    "Brother Zheng, do you know how many officers and soldiers there are in Beijing camp now?"

    Sun Zheng has really never paid attention to this, so he can only express that he is not clear.

    Zhu Houzhao began to make an accusatory statement: "Two hundred and eighty thousand! The Beijing camp uses this number to ask for money and food from the Ministry of Household Affairs every year. But this year they asked people to check it, and they didn't even ask idle people on the street to make up the number.  Even if I collect half of it, I can¡¯t even get to 120,000!

    This is not the most irritating thing. I can tolerate fake numbers and empty pay.  However, the troops and horses of the school were ordered, and 120,000 people rushed from the east school field to the west school field. The journey was only thirty miles, and they were still lightly packed. As a result, only 600 people finished the whole journey in a whole day!  Do you think it is possible to fight a war with such officers and soldiers?  "

    Hiss!  Sun Zheng took a breath. He had known that the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were rotten from top to bottom, but using his best imagination, he never imagined that they would be rotten to this extent!

    This is completely beyond human cognition, okay!

    Zhu Houzhao said depressedly: "That's it. Before I could order the rectification, all the civil and military officials in the dynasty were vying for ammunition, saying that I was reckless in my military maneuvers and wasted the people and money"

    ¡°It¡¯s obvious that civil and military forces have colluded, and too many people¡¯s interests are involved.

    "What about the border army?" Sun Zheng still had some confidence in the new soldiers he had trained.

    Zhu Houzhao drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp. He did not have the grace that an emperor should have at all. On the contrary, he had a bit of a Jianghu atmosphere: "Forget it! The border troops are well-disciplined and well-equipped. But they are also very aggressive in spending money! A little move can bring gold and silver.  Expenses are due to the fact that those barbarians in Liaodong are disobedient and get into fits of rage every now and then. Over the past few years, Sanbianjia Loop collects so much money and food every year, and throws it all in, so they can barely survive. This is all thanks to Master Cheng's willingness to suppress it.  In the border areas, if he returns to Beijing to take up his post, I don¡¯t know who to replace him. Those two-ranked Jinshi scholars are full of moral articles, but their true colors will be revealed as soon as they take the official position Oh, how difficult it is!"

    Sun Zheng is right to think about it. If the three sides change their commanders and have a big appetite, within a few years, not only will the finances be in crisis, but the army will also mutiny.

    "If you want to move the capital camp, those nobles have already become one with the civil servants, so there is no way to do it. If you want to expand the number of new soldiers, you don't have that much money and food"

    "Wait a minute!" Sun Zheng understood a little bit: "Do you mean to expand the Jinyiwei, or do you want me to help you pay for it?"

    Zhu Houzhao's expression immediately turned pitiful: "Now there are only Jin Yiwei, who are nominally the emperor's personal army. You can let me do something, brother Zheng! We are brothers, and now you are my brother-in-law, we are even more intimate! That's it!  You won¡¯t help me if you¡¯re busy, right?¡±

    "Ihave saved you the expenses of managing the canal, exempted you from the military expenses of the nine sides, and returned you at least 1.5 million silver dollars in internal funds every year. Now you tell me that you have no money?"

    "Alas! Do you think I don't want to save money? Every time I finally have a little surplus, there is either a disaster here or a civil commotion there, as well as the salaries of officials and clans There is so much wealth in the world, but I feel that the Ming Dynasty is getting poorer and poorer. Just this year  At the beginning of spring, we have already incurred a debt of nearly one million taels. Do you think this kind of situation makes me place my hopes on those nerds who only know what to do? Or on those noble people who are full of fat and fat?"

    "Then you can't point me at a sheep and pluck it back and forth. The skin will be bald!"

    "Brother Zheng!" Zhu Houzhao said in frustration: "Tell me, do I not have the talent to be an emperor? Otherwise"

    "That's not the case!" Sun Zheng rolled his eyes at him: "Here comes this trick again! Please, try another trick."

    Zhu Houzhao burst into laughter and said, "Isn't this what you taught me? A new trick can be used all over the world! It doesn't matter whether the trick is new or old, it just works. Brother Zheng, right?"

    Sun Zheng was so angry that he shouted loudly: "Lao Gao, Lao Zhang, get here!"

    Gao Feng and Zhang Yong hid behind the screen wall to bask in the sun, and hurried over to see the gift.

    "You two are the head of the palace, so you treat your family like this?"

    Gao Feng was aggrieved: "Young Master Mingjian! Our Emperor is a Bodhisattva and doesn't want those ministers to complain"

    Zhang Yong hurriedly gave him a hand, you are so arrogant, why are you talking back at this time?  Looking at Sun Zheng's angry face, I swallowed back the words that followed.

    "Old Zhao! Go, pull these two guys behind and beat them twenty times!"

    The two people quickly looked at the little emperor for help. Zhu Houzhao pretended not to see it. The two of them were dejected and followed Lao Zhao to the back to receive the punishment.

    "The young master will always be the young master. Even if he leaves Zhennanhai, he can still fight whoever he wants. The emperor can't protect him!"

    After playing ping-pong-pong with twenty big boards, Gao Feng and Zhang Yong came back to reply.

    Sun ?In these days, rushing is a very dangerous thing, and walking long distances is doubly dangerous.  Fortunately, everyone is a master, and they are accompanied by the Sihai Escort Bureau. This time, Lin Zhennan, who is already semi-retired, is even alerted, and he personally takes care of things along the way. Firstly, he can take the opportunity to connect with the head of Yue, and secondly, he can get closer to his son.  a few days.

    In late April, Sun Zheng and his party arrived in Hengyang.

    After all, this is a world with martial arts sects, and each sect has some industry.  For example, the most famous rich man in Hengyang City is Liu Zhengfeng and Liu Sanye.  Even several county magistrates near Hengyang were held by Hengshan disciples.

    Liu Zhengfeng is the number two figure in the Hengshan Sect and one of the best masters in the entire Wuyue Sword Sect. If he wants to wash his hands in a golden basin, there will naturally be no small disturbance.

    Entering Hengyang City, everyone was talking about this matter.  The most talked about thing is that Liu Zhengfeng retired from the world because he was squeezed out by his senior brother Mr. Mo Da. He could not achieve his ambitions and could only retire sadly.

    Liu Zhengfeng's reputation is not bad. When most people talk about this, they can't help but criticize him for his injustice and criticize Mr. Mo Da for his injustice.

    On the contrary, the streets near Liu's Mansion were peaceful, with no resentment at all, and more like a happy event was going on.

    Sun Zheng asked Wiki to increase monitoring of this area early on, and no surprise, traces of the masters of the Songshan Sect were discovered.

    It seems that no matter what day Liu Zhengfeng chooses to hold this hand-washing banquet, this disaster will be inevitable.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
