Chapter four hundred and fiftieth eight: joy falls from the sky
Deng Jian shouted immediately when the guard heard this.
Not only was he not angry, but he felt like he had a reassurance pill.
After all, people speak so arrogantly, with such confidence, and domineering appearance.
It is clear that a big man is coming.
There is such a big man who asks me to get out of here. In this case, even if the Ministry of War or the Governor's Office blames me, I will have a remark.
I am afraid that someone who is not very responsible for his work is a guy who is not very high or low in his official position, and he is not confident in speaking. If he stops him, he will offend Donglin Military Academy. If he doesn’t stop him, he will be dereliction of duty.
So the garrison was happy and said excitedly: "Okay, okay, everyone retreats, retreat a little, don't get close to the convoy.
As he said that, he led a team of soldiers and retreated far away.
The people who were about to leave the city had to stay away, and the military and civilians in the capital were still in awe of the teaching team.
After all, the respectful thing about these guys blocking people and killing Buddhas is that they never harass the people. Unlike other military horses in the capital, they can always make a name for a clever name whenever they have a little chance. These people are almost completely unreasonable, and even if they go out to buy things on the street, they are still polite.
But the fearful things are different. They are the ones who throw bombs at many high-ranking officials and nobles at night and rushed into many mansions, dragging countless high-ranking officials and nobles out like dead dogs. Overnight, they can press the troops of the Beijing camp several times more than their own to the ground to rub the ground.
What's more, behind this student is the Duke of Liao, and behind the Duke of Liao... that's even more unimaginable.
The scenes of the huge crowd entering the city are rare.
After all, even if they went out to practice, it was still at the time of Mao, and it was not yet dawn at that time.
But what was really shocking were countless big cars.
The cart was like a long dragon, and there was no end to see. It entered the city continuously. There were boxes of things piled up on the carriage, which looked very heavy at first glance, and many mules and horses were foaming at the same time.
The drivers who drove the car seemed to murmur in a low voice: "You have to pay more, this trip will last for three years."
Of course, this cannot be discussed publicly.
The garrison simply went up the city tower and arrived on the city tower. He was even more shocked. He felt dizzy because even if the grain trucks from Beitongzhou were transported, there was no such a huge scene.
"What's inside?" The guard searched for a thousand households and murmured in a low voice.
"This is like the one who searched the thief when he was searching the thief. Now I'm back. I look... maybe... maybe it's gold and silver..."
Gold and silver...
The guard's eyes widened.
So many?
This is more than a grain truck!
"No way, those few merchants have so much gold and silver? There are so many gold and silver, and they collude with the Jiannu people, right? Don't I say so much silver. If I have ten thousand taels of silver, I won't even do the garrison. I will go back and lie down."
"So you don't have that much money."
"Look for a fight!" The guard clenched his fists, and the thousand households were scared away.
...
Xinxian finally received the news, so he immediately arranged personnel to be responsible for receiving the response.
So, Zhang Jingyi personally led a group of people and finally had a head-on encounter with Deng Jian.
Zhang Jingyi said to Deng Jian speechlessly: "It seems inappropriate to take so much gold and silver... and pass the market with a look. Why don't you send a quick Malay report as soon as possible?"
Deng Jian smiled wryly and said, "How can you transport gold and silver to the capital without silence? Report it early, I am afraid that the news will leak early, and there will be dangers along the way. Okay, anyway, you are the Duke of the State, and everything you say is right."
Zhang Jing glared at him and said, "Stop talking, please let me settle down, and follow me to the palace to report the good news later."
Deng Jian nodded. In fact, he didn't know where so much gold and silver should be transported, so he still had to go to the palace to report first.
The two brothers cleaned up, Deng Jian looked around and said, "Why didn't you see the elder brother?"
Zhang Jingyi said casually: "He has gone to Macau."
"Macao?"
"It's Lingnan."
"Oh." Deng Jian said curiously: "What did he do in Lingnan?"
Zhang Jing simply replied: "There are more important things to cook."
Deng Jian didn't ask much, and the two of them whipped, one in front and the other in a hurry into the palace.
…………
Emperor Aoki had just finished fencing today and was sweating all over.
When we arrived at the Qinzheng Hall, several major officials were already waiting here.
Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "What's the matter with you?"
Huang Liji stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty... the martial arts lecture hall and the Shenji camp... made a charter."
The smile on Emperor Aoki's face calmed down a little and he immediately became alert.
If it is an ordinary thing, there is no need to report it deliberately. Now that the people from the cabinet are coming, there must be some mystery.
He said with his hands behind his back: "What charter?"
"The martial arts lecture hall has begun. The Shenji Camp has carefully selected 5,000 young and strong men, and has now been trained into an army. However, Hong Chengchou said that it is not only the Shenji Camp, but of course it also needs sharp weapons. They also need to have the firearms of the Donglin Military Academy. Therefore, I asked Your Majesty to approve it and buy 8,000 muskets, and the gunpowder needs to be supplied with 10,000 kilograms per month. Even with artillery, there are fifty guns..."
Emperor Tianqi said: "Does I need to make the decision of these? The cabinet gave the Ministry of War to the Ministry of War to supervise the Ministry of War."
"Cough cough..." Huang Liji and others looked at each other, and then Huang Liji smiled: "Hong Chengchou said that most of the firearms made by the Craft Bureau are of low quality and are not easy to use. His people have visited the military academy and found that the firearms of the Donglin Army were sharper. I hope that the Shenji Camp will also be equipped with such excellent guns and cannons."
After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi said, "What do you mean is to let Zhang Qing's family supervise?"
"Ahem." Huang Liji said: "Of course, we can't make money for nothing, we have to give money."
"Oh, this..." Emperor Tianqi nodded: "You are embarrassed to mention Zhang Qing, so let me ask?"
"It's not just this." Huang Liji gritted his teeth. In fact, he, the chief minister of the cabinet, looks a bit like a young wife.
All officials here have high hopes for the new policy, and they all believe that the reason why the Duke of Liao made many military achievements is because there is a military academy. Since the military academy is the embodiment of the new policy, then we also have a martial arts lecture hall, isn't it also a new policy?
At that time, let the martial arts hall and the Shenji camp go out to suppress the thieves and make great contributions, and this ability will be revealed. Then Zhang Jing's way of urging the gentry, he will naturally stop mentioning. After all, we can do your thing, so why do we still have to urging the gentry? The gentry is all good people. They are supporting the court. Doing this is not to kill the chicken to get eggs?
Therefore, all the officials were particularly concerned about the martial arts hall and the Shenji Camp. In addition, Hong Cheng was indeed very good at dealing with things. After entering Beijing, he immediately got along with all the officials. Everyone was from acquaintances and had a natural sense of closeness.
On this side, Hong Chengchou proposed a new type of firearm, while on the other side, all officials came to force Huang Liji.
What could Huang Liji do, so he had to come and ask His Majesty for his magistrate: "The problem is that money is money. The purchase requires money. The treasury is... there is really no money. If it is His Majesty..."
"Ah." Emperor Tianqi was so angry that he vomited blood: "After saying so much, are you here to ask me for money again?"
Look, what he was worried about before was right, these guys were just staring at his money.
Huang Liji said, "But your Majesty also paid the money? You can't favor one and the other."
"The military academy is my own son, you are wild!" Emperor Tianqi could not help but speak without restraint. It was obvious that he was really angry.
What is the difference between these guys and robbing money?
This suddenly...
Huang Liji and others immediately stopped talking.
If this is spread, what is going to be great?
Emperor Tianqi saw these people not talking for a long time and said irritably: "How much money do you need?"
"It depends on the price of the Duke of Liao...."
Emperor Tianqi also knew that these people were unwilling to give up, and couldn't help but say, "Since I have gotten such a thousand taels of silver, you are all like hungry ghosts."
Huang Li smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I..."
"No need to explain." Emperor Tianqi said gritting his teeth: "There is so much silver among the people, but the treasury's income is so much tax that the court cannot afford, but outside there are rich people singing every night, singing and playing with each other's voice and horse, and everyone is rich and can match the country. What do you think? You are also embarrassed to say the new policy. The new policy is to spend other people's money and tossing what you call something? I see that you are all community rats, and there is no good thing. If you have a little bit of it, why should I favor Zhang Qing everywhere?"
Huang Liji said: "I will die."
Sun Chengzong and others also said: "I will die."
Emperor Tianqi was really bored and numb. Anyway, they wouldn't solve the problem, they would only die if they scolded him.
But then he saw the embarrassing appearance of these cabinet ministers, but Emperor Tianqi found that it seemed boring to scold them. These were just the officials who came to be scolded.
At this time, Li Guo said, "Your Majesty, in fact... everyone is not as rich as a country. Your Majesty's words are a bit too extreme. The people are all poor and miserable."
When Emperor Tianqi heard this, he said, "What are I scolding the people? Don't use the people as a shield. What I am talking about is those people, those gentry and merchants..."
Li Guo frowned and said, "They are all people, how can you..."
As he was speaking, an eunuch outside said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Emperor Tianqi saw that the eunuch Zhang Shun, who came to report the news, raised his eyebrows and was furious just now, but now he was overjoyed.
Because he knew that eight out of ten things Zhang Shun came to report was a happy event.
"What's wrong, Deng Jian is back?"
"That is, Duke Cheng and Deng Qianhu entered the palace and waited outside, saying that they were here to report good news to His Majesty."
Emperor Tianqi thought, indeed...
So, Emperor Tianqi cheered up and unconsciously added a hint of joy in his voice, saying, "Hurry, come in!"
Chapter completed!
