Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong both knew that they were being added to the scriptures and feasts to be reused.But the two really didn't expect this to come so suddenly.Xu Guangqi was so excited that he took out the "Geometric Originals" translated by himself and Matteo Ricci overnight, and he hoped that the young Emperor His Majesty Zhu Youxiao would be willing to study this book outside of the scriptures.In the past, he did not have the opportunity to become a scripture lecturer, that is, the emperor's teacher, but now that he has this opportunity, he naturally does not want to miss it.And Sun Chengzong also didn't sleep well all night, he refused his concubine's request to warm his bed for him, and slept alone in the study the night before entering the palace to see the emperor, sorting out what he had learned and gained over the years and his views on the situation in the court.Next.Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong both entered the palace early and met outside the Qianqing Gate.Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong looked at each other and smiled, and couldn't help but give each other hands.At this time, Zhu Youxiao was also standing on the platform of the Qianqing Palace, looking at the solemn Forbidden City, secretly thinking about how to renew the national fortune for this empire that has been standing in the world for more than 200 years."
Minister Xu Guangqi has seen Your Majesty!""
The minister Sun Chengzong has seen Your Majesty!"
As soon as Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong saw Zhu Youxiao wearing a dragon robe, they immediately made a big salute.And Zhu Youxiao also came back to his senses and looked at the two, smiled, and said: "The two Aiqing are flat!"
”"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong were both close to the age of the Mandate of Heaven at this time, but in the officialdom, the two of them could only be regarded as the age at which they had just begun to develop their ambitions.Xu Guangqi couldn't help but open his mouth first: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the minister's view, the most important thing in the court at the moment is the Liao affair, the slave chief Nurhachi's ambition is quite huge, and the minister looks at this person who knows the military affairs quite well, and is good at winning people's hearts, so the Liao generals have more people in the door, and the minister thinks that the east of the Liao land is not comparable to the Hu Lu in the past, and I am afraid that there is a danger of colluding with the traitor to kill my Ming Sheji in the future!"
”Zhu Youxiao nodded, many Wenchen generals of the Ming Dynasty in this era may not think that Jianyu will defeat Li Zicheng and win the Ming Dynasty after just over 20 years, but Zhu Youxiao believes it, which also makes him praise Xu Guangqi's foresight.Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile: "As far as I know, Aiqing has already told the imperial grandfather about the prevention of the construction of prisoners and the need to use Western methods to train my Ming recruits, and the imperial grandfather asked you to train in Tongzhou, I don't know how Aiqing trained in Tongzhou?"
”Xu Guangqi didn't expect that the young son of heaven in front of him would know about his military training for the imperial court, and he was very relieved and surprised in his heart, but he couldn't help but flash a trace of helplessness in his eyes while he was happy, and said: "Your Majesty, because the Ministry of War said that the Liao affairs are getting tighter and the treasury is not financially strong, so this matter has been almost abolished, and only a small amount of equipment is given to the minister, so the minister has to stay in Beijing and strive for this matter with the Ministry of War." ”Zhu Youxiao pursed his lips after hearing this: "Soldiers still have to be trained, Aiqing said" extremely seek the truth to spare" and "extremely make practical equipment to prepare for Chinese and foreign defenses", are the top priorities of the moment, can not be delayed, I also understand the outdated construction of the Liaodi, these Jianguo is really good at fighting, and even since ancient times, there is a saying that it is invincible, if I want to exterminate the Jiandi, I have to train a strong army and a strong army.
Therefore, I have to have a strong army that really fights for the imperial court, and I have to have a real strong army that belongs to me!
”"Your Majesty!
The Beijing camp has been abolished and many old and weak, although the southern soldiers are strong, but because of the accident of the year, they have lost a lot, and now the imperial court must also have a new army, but now the internal affairs of the imperial court are abolished, the country is poor and the people are poor, and a liao salary still makes the world unsustainable. ”Sun Chengzong also spoke at this time.Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly, he knew that Sun Chengzong still didn't say anything, now the Ming Dynasty not only caused a surge in military spending because of the Liaodi rebellion, but also needed to spend a lot of money because of the death of the two emperors Wanli and Taichang, especially Emperor Taichang, because he hung it too early, he didn't have time to repair the mausoleum for himself in advance, and he had to repair the mausoleum now.Therefore, it is indeed necessary for the Ming Dynasty to save money to fill the treasury now.But according to the development of the original history, the Ming Dynasty only has more than 20 years of national fortune, so, in Zhu Youxiao's view, the Ming Dynasty can't wait to save enough money to train the army, and has to save money while training the army, otherwise there are no soldiers in hand, and it is difficult to fill the treasury, after all, most of the wealth of the empire is concentrated in the hands of the powerful gentry, not the hands of the common people.The powerful gentry of any dynasty would not take the initiative to donate most of their money and grain because of the country's internal and external troubles.The Chongzhen Dynasty asked the ministers to donate money to help the army, but the cabinet chief assistant only took out 500 taels of silver, and Li Zicheng, who had a soldier, extorted more than 100,000 taels of silver as soon as he extorted it, which is a clear example.Of course, even if you don't kill the rich and help the poor at home and suppress the increase in entropy, if you want to offset the involution through external plunder, you have to have strong troops in hand, otherwise how can you colonize foreign countries and grab food from the West.Therefore, military training cannot be delayed."
Although the rivers and mountains of China are the world of one person, but China is not the China of one person, since ancient times, there is no one who does not die, even if I want to fall, I can not fall in our hands, let alone be destroyed by Hulu, this is not only not good for the royal family but also for the whole world Han people, the Han people in the world can no longer be like before because of the invasion of Hulu for two-legged sheep for the fourth-class people!
Whether it is a scholar or a common people, anyone who is a Han person must avoid the recurrence of this crisis, the rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, not to mention that all the ministers are meat eaters, and I am the son of heaven, this training is an urgent task and cannot be delayed!
”Zhu Youxiao made his own conclusion, and looked at Xu Guangqi: "Even the training of soldiers does not have to be trained in Tongzhou, just train in my Nanyuan, train my royal guards, in order to replace the weak division of the Beijing camp, and once there is a police in the world, I will pull my guards up to destroy the thieves, and I will be the Ming River and Mountain, and the people of my Han family!"
”Xu Guangqi couldn't help but straighten his chest when he heard Zhu Youxiao say this, his eyes were bright, he didn't expect the young man in front of him to be so ambitious and assertive, and a blood boiled in his chest: "Your Majesty Shengming!"
The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, not to mention the ministers, His Majesty's words make the ministers deafening!
”And then, Zhu Youxiao looked at Sun Chengzong: "However, what Aiqing said is reasonable, the imperial court is indeed short of money now, but it can't be stopped because there is no money, I first support the internal capital to train the army, but the royal surplus food is not much, and I still have to find a way to increase the treasury revenue, but now the household department is busy just for the expenditure of Liao salary and the silver needed for the repair of the tomb, so naturally there is no time to take care of the increase in income, and the temple used the internal supervision to collect the world's mining tax to open up financial resources, and many ministers were discouraged, saying that the internal supervision was greedy and harmful to the people.
Then I will let Aiqing you find a way to open up financial resources, and give Xu Qing's family the money for military training, Aiqing is a minister, and I am my teacher, loyal to the monarch and love the people, presumably Aiqing will open up financial resources for the Ming Dynasty, and will not attract criticism from the world. ”
