He listened to what he said, because he was a dignified elder, and it was really embarrassing to openly talk about looting! But everyone understood the meaning and laughed.
But Zhang Siwei's hometown is Shanxi, so he naturally understands the situation at the border. He smiled bitterly and said: "Don't you know the situation at the border? It's already difficult to hold on to the current defense line! Those *** often go to the border to hunt grass and grain, and they are very annoying!"
Shen Shixing said with a look of fascination: "How wonderful it would be if one day it was our army from the Ming Dynasty that went to thresh the grass in the valley!"
Zhang Siwei hurriedly said: "Absolutely not, I can't do such provocative things! And if word of this spreads out, it is inevitable that some people will imitate Wu Ninghou, so please don't cause any more chaos!"
Everyone smiled slightly when they heard what he said but said nothing. But the people here are all extremely shrewd people, and they don’t know that the business between the Zhang family and Guanwai is booming! If something happens on the border, the biggest loser will be the Zhang family's caravan running outside the Great Wall! But maybe even if there is a warning, business may still be followed! .
However, all Zhang Juzheng's energy was focused on reform at this time. He did not want to let extra things distract him, so he nodded in agreement and said, "That's true! It is indeed difficult for warning signs to appear in the border areas at this time! When the country has enough money and food in the future, It is also reasonable to give more property to the border troops so that they can deal with the haying and plowing."
Zhang Siwei nodded after hearing this and said: "That's right! But when it comes to this, we should strictly check the food and salary sent to the border troops! I think one can reduce the amount of food and salary delivered each time and send it a few more times. This will prevent the border troops from saving up their food and wages. This will prevent any general who was irritated by Wu Ninghou from committing a crime and sending troops northward!"
When it comes to this issue, everyone has a common understanding. They all feel that the control of border troops and horses should be strengthened to avoid confusion and affect the overall situation of the court.
But these few people didn't think about it. If they did this, wouldn't it give those who transfer food and wages more opportunities to get their hands on them? According to the current rules, it is already making the soldiers at the border miserable. If they really follow their ideas, the soldiers may not be miserable!
But in the eyes of the elders. The soldiers can endure "a little" hardship! After all, this little pain is nothing compared to the overall situation! What's more, the warriors are vulgar and uncivilized. If they are not strictly controlled, God knows what trouble they will cause!
If Liu Haojia were here, he would probably be dumbfounded***? Come to think of it, he didn't know that his actions at sea actually caused changes in the border. This was something he didn't expect!
As for this time, there was already a burst of joy in the palace, because Emperor Wanli was personally leading the palace people to build a silver mountain!
Unlike other nobles, there are more places where money is needed in the inner treasury. So every time the inner treasury gets money, half of it is converted into bank notes from Lend Lease Bank, and the other half is used in cash. Today, Zhang Jia transported all the money back to the palace as soon as he received it. He knew that this would please Emperor Wanli the most!
Sure enough, Emperor Wanli smiled so hard when he saw the car full of silver that his eyes disappeared! And when he heard that Liu Haojia had built a silver mountain, he immediately became interested! After he asked about the shape of the silver mountain, he immediately started building the silver mountain in his palace!
However, his money is much less than that of Liu Haojia, so the scale of this silver mountain is naturally much smaller! Especially against the backdrop of the tall palace, Yinshan looks extremely dwarfed. But this is already a huge pleasure for Emperor Wanli!
After he finished piling up the silver mountain, Emperor Wanli wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked around to admire his achievements. After turning around a few times, he threw away the towel in his hand and said: "Wu Ninghou is indeed a good minister! He can fight, make money, and come up with such novel and interesting ways to play! Well, next time who he wants to fight, there will definitely be more Give him some money!"
At this time, Zhang Jia also took the time to learn Liu Haojia's words of calling on the nobles to unite around Emperor Wanli again, which made him extremely satisfied and beaming with joy!
At this moment, someone outside the palace announced that Miss Zijuan had arrived. Emperor Wanli knew that Empress Dowager Li had sent someone to inquire about the situation, so he hurriedly said: "Call in!"
He was so excited because he wanted to see Zijuan's expression when she saw Yinshan. And just as he expected, Zijuan clearly saw her feet when she came in.
A soft! If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have fallen to the ground!
Seeing Zijuan like this, Emperor Wanli couldn't help laughing! Zijuan stood firm and saluted Emperor Wanli with a blushing face. Emperor Wanli waved her hand to get up and said, "Get up. What did the Queen Mother ask you to do?"
Zijuan pressed her hand against her racing heart and said, "When the empress heard that Lord Long Live was building a silver mountain here, she asked this slave to come and see what the situation is."
Emperor Wanli waved his hand proudly and said, "How's it going? I made it myself!"
Zijuan said sincerely: "It's really shocking! I never thought that money could be piled up like this!"
But at this moment, Zijuan suddenly thought in her heart that the silver brought into the palace was only a small part of the silver mountain built by Wu Ninghou, but the silver mountain in front of her was shocking enough. If it were the complete silver mountain, What will the silver mountain look like?
However, Zijuan had been in the palace for many years and had already developed the ability to do two things. While complimenting Emperor Wanli, she was pondering her own thoughts in her heart. It wasn't until she made Emperor Wanli happy that she bid farewell to Emperor Wanli and returned to Queen Mother Li's palace.
After entering the palace, she immediately relaxed. She described the situation in a daze, and finally said: "It is said that the silver in Long Live Lord's palace is only part of Wu Ninghou's silver mountain, so I can't think of Wu Ninghou now." I’d rather see how big that silver mountain is!”
Empress Dowager Li laughed twice and said, "This little hozen is really capable of making a lot of noise. Even the Lord Long Live is fooling around with him! Send a message to the people below to stop talking nonsense."
Zijuan naturally agreed and then gave the order, but she could clearly hear the satisfaction in Empress Dowager Li's heart, and she understood that Empress Dowager Li's greatest satisfaction with Wu Ninghou was not the money, but the call for the nobles to unite under the Wanli Emperor. Around you! She knew that these words were in Empress Dowager Li's heart, and she was afraid that Wu Ninghou would be favored even more in the future!
Such a big event would definitely alarm Hu Zhiyu and others, so he made a special appointment with Zhang Yuanfeng to meet. After the two exchanged pleasantries and exchanged other matters, Hu Zhiyu shook his sleeves and said, "Brother Zhang Xian, what do you think of Wu Ninghou's conquest of Japan?"
