At present, Zhang Kegong was scolded back, and was suppressed by Zhang Shuye's eyes.

But obviously the emperor wanted to slip away again, and based on Cai Jing's understanding of the emperor, the emperor basically forgot the topic of everyone impeaching Gao Fangping just now.

So he seized the opportunity and Cai Jing left the list for the first time.

Seeing that the handsome old man had all his hair white, Zhao Ji was still very grateful to Lao Cai, so he had to stop playing and said softly: "What do you mean by the Grand Master?"

Cai Jing reported: "Zhang Kegong is inappropriate, and there are actually exaggerations. The Gao family's loyalty and hard work to the royal family should not be questioned casually."

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "That's right, what the Grand Master said is reasonable."

Cai Jing immediately responded: "But Your Majesty is kind and gentle, and Jirai has never treated Gao's family badly. You don't owe them. So you can't just indulge them for their contributions and hard work. Overall, He Zhizhong and Zhang Kegong's words were a little exaggerated, but as far as the Government Affairs Hall knows, there are no groundless things they have to make up for."

Gao Qiu wanted to take action to kill Lao Cai, but he forgot his mother, but Lao Cai came back again.

Now that he was reminded, Zhao Ji remembered what He Zhizhong and Zhang Kegong had just said, and said with some concern: "Is that true?"

Cai Jing said: "It is true. The old minister thinks this is not a big problem. Governance is not static. Sometimes parents need to govern according to actual conditions and local conditions. Gao Fangping did a good job in this regard. To a certain extent, he abandoned the salt tax and carbon tax, but made up for it in other places, and the tax revenue of the court increased and continued to decrease. However, what Your Majesty, Zhang Kegong and He Zhizhong said had their own reasons. Salt tax and carbon tax are the mainstay of the state's finances. Although Gao Fangping's governance style was different and he had succeeded in another way, it did not mean that others could succeed. If he blindly indulged him, subverted the foundation and authority of the court, and caused the other consuls to follow suit, it would take the finances of our dynasty to be dangerous. This is an indisputable fact."

After a pause, Cai Jing said slowly: "In addition, thousands of fugitives have been gathered outside Yuncheng for a long time, and the Yongle Army did not punish him. Perhaps Gao Fangping had his special reasons and reasons, but this ultimately had an impact on the overall political environment of the dynasty. The old minister believed that this move could not be advocated. If you are fugitives, you can avoid the national taxes openly, and you should be careful that more and more people will resist taxes..."

Zhang Shuye broke out and interrupted: "Avoid the important and keep the light, talk nonsense. Your Majesty, the old minister has another opinion and another interpretation here."

Cai Jing said on the surface that Gao Fangping's approach is understandable, but in fact he successfully attracted Zhao Ji's attention and scared Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji is a greedy person and likes harmony. Of course, he is unwilling to more and more people to resist taxes and become fugitives, so he was really scared by Lao Cai. But due to his good impression of Xiao Gao in the past, Zhao Ji was still somewhat unwilling to admit that Gao Fangping was doing things in a mess.

Now that Zhang Shuye has a different interpretation, Zhao Ji was also very happy: "Zhang Qing said quickly, I happen to be very concerned about these issues."

Zhang Shuye said: "The situation that the Taishi said exists in general and is the truth. However, the Taishi failed to analyze the truth to Your Majesty. The salt tax and carbon tax are indeed the foundation of our dynasty's finances. But overall it is biased. It can be afforded by rich areas, but it does not mean that all areas can bear it. The old minister happened to think that this was Gao Fangping's governance according to local conditions. Yuncheng was not rich and the people were relatively tough, so there were many powerful people and copycats. One of the major reasons was that the law was severe.

And they cannot bear heavier taxes. Gao Fangping's policy strategy has no problem with the overall direction. There is a saying that demon stars appear in Shandong in the world, but in fact, there are tumors like 800 miles of water poles that have formed rebellion. In this case, excessive taxes are to increase the popularity of water poles. The old minister believes that in treating water poles, Gao Fangping is doing the opposite. Changing the water and soil environment from the source is the best treatment."

Zhao Ji heard what Lao Zhang said make sense, but it sounds like he would lose more taxes, so Zhao Ji, who has always been greedy for money, did not say that Xiao Gao was wrong, but only asked with concern: "In order to treat the cancer of the evil star, Zhang Qing, tell me honestly, how much tax will Gao Fangping lose to me?"

Zhang Shuye said with a strange expression: "It's a lot of money, but on the contrary, his monthly fiscal and tax revenue is more than that of other states."

Zhao Ji smiled at the moment of hearing this. Although he had not held the money in his hand, he liked to hear such good things and said with a smile: "Now I feel relieved. Xiao Gao is always a master. He is saying that the money is not enough, and he asks me everywhere for tax exemption. My queen has always been frugal and ordered the royalty to be reduced by a layer, causing complaints. I am not stingy, but I have heard too much about similar things and always feel that the country is not safe and prosperous enough. In this case, with Xiao Gao, a master of making money, I can feel at ease."

"..." Cai Jing and Zhang Shuye looked at each other, speechless at the emperor. When they heard that they had money, they ignored everything else, and there was no one left.

Cai Jing hurriedly talked about the reasons found by Zhang Kegong again and said: "Gao Fangping's financial and taxation ability is indeed not to be questioned. It is enough for Your Majesty to be happy. The court no longer pursued this matter and allowed Yuncheng to act cheaply. But his purpose of going to Yuncheng was to watch over the water and shock the demon stars of the water and torture the world. Zhang Kegong was unable to explain it clearly earlier, but the old minister was also worried about it. If he was not allowed to give the water and do not look at the color of the water and do not want to see the water and do not understand the stability of the world. It may be difficult for others to change, but Gao Fangping was famous for his bravery and good at fighting. It was really detrimental to not give the bandits to fight decisively. The old minister did not question Xiao Gao's loyalty, but could not understand such an arrangement."

Zhao Ji didn't understand military affairs at all, so he looked at the general Gao Qiu, whom he trusted the most.

Gao Qiu felt dizzy. He didn't even understand military affairs than Zhao Ji. The sweat of beans rolled down from his forehead and hurriedly stepped onto Master Zhong.

Before leaving the line, Master Zhong quickly approached Gao Qiu and whispered: "You owe me three hundred coins."

Lao Gao felt relieved when he heard this, and nodded slightly as if he was not short of money.

When Zhao Ji saw that the gangster Zhong Shidao, who was deeply resentful, came out and wanted to interrupt Taiwei Gao, he said unhappily: "Does the old Zhongqing family have any experience?"

Gao Qiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you can rest assured that the Zhong family has three generations of military tactics. Zhong Shidao has also discussed it with the old ministers in daily life. Many of his ideas and military tactics have been explained and checked by the old ministers. In general, they are still acceptable. You can listen to what he wants to say. If there is something not finished, the old minister will be responsible for checking."

“…”

All the officials in the court, regardless of their civil and military affairs, wanted to drag Gao Qiu down and beat him to death to relieve their hatred.

Only Zhong Shidao likes Lao Gao very much. The houses he lives in are all Lao Gao. Lao Gao does give him the opportunity to show his face in front of the emperor, and he also gave him a bonus of 300 stagnant. Therefore, Zhong Shidao believes that Gao Qiu is a very loyal gangster. Zhong Shidao is probably the most acceptable person in the entire court to accept gangsters and hooligans.

After yy, Zhong Shidao looked white-haired and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know anything. The so-called military strategy is actually not mysterious, it's just four words: be careful. The key to a war is not actually a decisive battle. The decisive battle is often just a simple and crude flesh and blood flying across the board, which will last a few days, or even shorter. However, before the war, the logistics arrangements of troops, food, grass, weapons, positions, etc., the collection, summary, analysis of news, all the complicated, true and false, all of which require the general to interrogate and select people.

, employing people, analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of subordinates, coordinating, etc., are the most time-consuming and protracted. Depending on the situation, according to the old minister's experience, even a showdown of a million troops may end within seven days, but the preparation and planning before the war even need to be deduced several years ago. In other words, if a mature and qualified commander wants to win a war, he needs to start preparing for it several years ago. In fact, this is the true meaning of "raising troops for a thousand days and using troops for a while."

After a pause, Zhong Shidao said again: "Yuncheng faces the 800-mile water pool. We are not aware of the specific situation. This is why Gao Fangping needs to know the army. But judging from the current situation, the initiative has always been held by Gao Fangping. In the land of Jeju, the harm of rebelling bandits is not only not increasing, but also decreasing. It has shown the necessity and significance of the deployment of the Yongle Army in the water pool. As for the ripeness of the combat opportunity, the old minister believes that this cannot be judged by the court, and it should be judged by Gao Fangping, the guardian you appointed by Your Majesty."

Zhao Ji seemed reasonable, but military affairs were different, so Zhao Ji looked at Gao Qiu again.

"The old minister thinks that Master Zhong is right, and he said everything the old minister wants to say, so... the old minister doesn't need to add anything." Gao Qiu said shamelessly.

Zhao Ji looked at Tao Jiefu again.

As the commander who once led troops, Tao Jiefu was not a bastard who did not understand Mao Shishi. He would not be fooled by the two hooligans, Zhong Shidao and Gao Qiu.

However, overall, although Lao Tao knew that Zhong Shidao was talking nonsense, Tao Jiefu knew that Gao Fangping was also a man who understood the army. Of course, Liangshan was not as serious as Zhong Shidao said, and it was necessary to prepare for war for several years. However, Tao Jiefu was sure that in terms of Gao Fangping's vulgarity, he must have another combat plan. When the court did not understand the specific situation, it should not point fingers at the guards in front.

So Tao Jiefu really didn't want to be with Zhong Shidao, but was forced to leave the list and nodded helplessly and said, "Your Majesty is wise, and what Zhong Shidao said is reasonable in general. The specific situation should be left to Gao Fangping, the wise army of Yongle Army, to judge."

It seems that this question has been set to the tone so far, and Zhang Shuye and Zhang Shangying looked at each other with concern.

What's trouble this time is that Cai Jing is so sinister that he brought up such a rhythm to "support" Gao Fangping.

Although it seemed to be suppressed, in fact, the two old Zhangs understood that under the control of Cai Jing's rhythm, the emperor had successfully aroused the emperor's expectation for "Gao Fangping's decisive battle against Shuibo", and more than once people were emphasizing the concept of "Gao Fangping is brave and kind, and it is easy to defeat Shuibo". The serious thing is that this concept was also accepted by the emperor.
