Zhang Heming was very angry when he learned that Emperor Zhu Youxiao transferred Yuan Yingtai without discussing with his Ministry of War and even gave Xiong Tingbi greater power.

"What is your Majesty going to do? I am the Minister of War at least. He didn't discuss it with me and then transferred me to the governor! It would be better to withdraw my Minister of War first!"

Zhang Heming was furious. He knew that his plan to quickly resolve the Liaodong situation and the people behind him had completely failed.

And his authority as the Minister of War was greatly affected.

The emperor's direct control of military affairs and interferes with the appointment of border officials will undoubtedly make the governor of the border town directly appointed by the emperor not take him as the Minister of War seriously, but only the emperor.

But Zhang Heming naturally did not dare to scold the emperor directly, nor did he dare to explicitly stop Emperor Zhu Youxiao's decision.

After all, everyone knows that the current Ming emperor is very tough and often confiscates his house and destroys his clan.

But the civil servant group did not want the emperor to spend too much money and food on the Liao incident, so that his own interests were damaged could not be compromised because of the emperor Zhu Youxiao.

Although Zhang Heming could not explicitly stop Zhu Youxiao, it was still possible indirectly.

"You immediately draw a book on the Ministry of War for me and report all the money owed by the nine border military pay and the money owed by the mainland officers and soldiers. I want your Majesty to know that the Ming Dynasty has accumulated so much military pay. If the Liao incident is not resolved as soon as possible, how difficult it will cause to the court's finances!"

Zhang Heming said to Xu Shilin and said again: "If the war is not resolved for a day, the financial scarcity will become more and more serious day by day! The Liao affairs should be accelerated, and I am not the only one who thinks. All the scholars and officials in the world hold this intention. I believe that the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel will also say that the court's financial scarcity will be discussed. At that time, Your Majesty will know that governing the country is not about what you want!"

Zhang Heming expected that was right.

Zhu Youxiao transferred Yuan Yingtai to the point of still supporting Xiong Tingbi's strategy, which caused not the opposition of one or two civil servants, but the opposition of many civil servants.

Although Zhu Youxiao had already attacked Donglin civil servant who was trying to directly remove Xiong Tingbi, which had been severely aggravated.

But civil officials still disagree with the emperor's support for such a spending strategy out of public interest and selfishness.

Therefore, at this time, Wang Yingjiao, the Minister of Revenue, also said: "This war requires settlement. To transfer the guest army to defend Liao territory, not to mention that the military pay for the passenger army has always been very high, the transportation costs alone will increase a lot. From Huguang to Liaodong, a stone of grain requires a freight of five or six taels of silver, which is much higher than the price of the grain itself! It would be fine if it was just a moment. Mobilizing the guest army and eliminating the Donglu in one fell swoop, it would only cost a sum of money; but now His Majesty wants the guest army to fight with the Donglu, and the main body will take a defensive strategy! How can this support the imperial treasury! The increase in Liao salary has caused the intensification of the people's poverty. If the Liao incident is not solved quickly, it is afraid that the people will be more difficult! The country is even more dangerous!"

"The imperial tomb project of the Temple of God and Guang Temple, as well as the reconstruction project of the three halls. These silver has not yet been settled. Your Majesty made the Liao affairs so indulge in food and money and not quickly resolved. If this continues, will the imperial tomb still be repaired? Should the three halls be rebuilt? Do the decent court still be needed?"

Wang Zuo, the Minister of Works, shook his head and complained about it.

Li Ruhua, the Minister of Personnel, also sighed: "Your Majesty is so ignorant of frugality in governing the country. How can you do this? Since the temple, the salaries owed by officials in the world have not been paid yet. Could it be that success will be owed to you all the time? Then the government will only get worse and worse!"

Because of this.

The Ministry of War, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Works, Ministry of Personnel, and the Secretary of the Four Departments successively submitted the book to Emperor Zhu Youxiao to ask for money.

Although these four ministers did not explicitly say that they did not support the emperor's strategy in Liao, they also clearly told the emperor by asking for money that the Ming Dynasty really didn't have that much money to let you play like this in Liaodong.

After receiving the titles of these four ministers, Zhu Youxiao said only one sentence: "It's coming in full force!"

Wei Zhongxian, who was standing beside him frowned and thought deeply. In order to consider his inner court's interests, he had to stand up and say, "Emperor! As for the servants, these civil servants have ulterior motives! It is obvious that they want to let you know that the court is short of money and the people are scarce. In fact, they want to force the emperor to give up Xiong Tingbi's strategy, or force the emperor to take out the treasury. You have accumulated some money by raiding your house, and they have set their sights! Just as they have been staring at the silver accumulated after the temple collects mineral tax!"

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Even if you know their purpose, it is useless. After all, the country belongs to me. I cannot ignore the lives and deaths of the people and the border troops."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao just threw the four questions on the case, and then muttered to himself: "I don't know how Sun Chengzong's cotton yarn is doing?"

When I think of this.

Zhu Youxiao said to Wei Zhongxian: "You preach my handwriting, and I immediately rushed to Sun Chengzong, asking him how the cotton yarn was managed, and told him that if he did not make money for me, then I will take all the Ming Dynasty's shortage of salary troops, Jinyiwei, Dongchang and the world's refugees to Jiangnan to search their homes! Let him not underestimate my appeal!"

...

Jiangnan.

After receiving Zhu Youxiao's handwritten instructions, Sun Chengzong almost fell to the ground, and his whole body was stunned as if he was blown up by Gorre.

Li Yongzhen, the eunuch in the Silijian who came to pass the orders, saw this and secretly recorded Sun Chengzong's misconduct and asked: "Sun Fuchen, please pay your money back quickly, so we can take it back."

Because this was a private exchange between Zhu Youxiao and his ministers, and in order to avoid too many people knowing it, Zhu Youxiao passed on the handwritten instructions to Sun Chengzong and did not ask Sun Chengzong to reply to the memorial. Only Sun Chengzong replied to the secret memorial to Li Yongzhen, and then Li Yongzhen brought it back to him.

Reporting to yourself using secret memorials is a way for Zhu Youxiao to communicate to officials such as Sun Chengzong bypassing the normal government affairs exchange procedures of the foreign government. This method is highly confidential and does not need to be published in the mansion. It is also faster and easier for the emperor to directly instruct the officials below.

After hearing Li Yongzhen's words, Sun Chengzong came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Let's write this."

As he said that, Sun Chengzong began to write quickly. He didn't want His Majesty the Emperor to really lead all the martial arts men and people in the world who were bullied by civil servants and gentry to search their homes in Jiangnan.

In the secret memorial, Sun Chengzong told Zhu Youxiao that he had earned more than three million taels of silver in cotton yarn for Zhu Youxiao in Songjiang, and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the sponge mill will earn more official profits in the future. I ask Your Majesty to personally release the silver to the capital in the name of going to Beijing to report his duties. I hope Your Majesty will give me another opportunity. I will do my best to help you revive my Ming Dynasty! Let Your Majesty revive my Ming Dynasty again! Long live my emperor! My right assistant censor, Su Song, military affairs officer, Sun Chengzong, worships me!"

After all, it was a huge sum of more than three million taels, and Sun Chengzong didn't dare to hand it over to others.

In the secret report, Sun Chengzong was particularly humble and cautious.

After receiving Sun Chengzong's secret memorial, Zhu Youxiao temporarily gave up his mind to mobilize the military and civilians of the world to directly create rebellion in gentry, and said secretly: "With the continuous income brought by this official industry, it is enough to raise soldiers and maintain the strength of the factory guards. Then, use the soldiers and factory guards in your hands to copy the Shanxi merchants who sell the country. Even if they spend all the existing treasury, they can quickly make up for the expenses of the treasury. These civil servants want to rely on the financial shortage to stop what I want? No way!"
