The court officials did not react to Zhu Youjian's quick action. When they reacted, everything was settled and they could not be dissuaded.

and......

They didn't dare to persuade them either.

The tragic situation of death and eight people in front of me is still vivid in my mind, and there are fierce and vicious figures like Li Ruolian staring at me, so how dare they speak?

The hall is very quiet.

Zhu Youjian was not in a hurry to speak. Now the general situation has been completed, and the ministers below can only stay honestly today!

Hesitated for a short time.

A man from the Ministry of Revenue gritted his teeth and stood up.

Kowtow:

"Your Majesty, the court's food and salary is in urgent need. In addition to the juan Qiang, the Ministry of Discharge was 6.8 million stones, and the annual output was 7.86 million stones, with an amount of more than 700,000 stones less."

"The court is unable to replenish the food and salary!"

"His Majesty......"

"Please plan for the future and reduce expenses so as to avoid the court's long-term shortage of income, resulting in local governments' inability to sustain themselves and government affairs are corrupt!"

After saying that.

This person snatched the ground with his head and couldn't afford it for a long time.

Zhu Youjian frowned and stared at Hou Xun, the Minister of Revenue who was kneeling on the ground, and suddenly felt angry.

But I saw Hou Xun's gray temples.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. There were Later Jin knocking on the gate outside the Ming Dynasty, and there were natural disasters and man-made disasters inside. Nine out of ten rooms were empty, and the particles were not collected.

Money and food are needed everywhere.

He has done his best to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and even increase income by three wages, but he still has not made up for the money.

at the same time.

The more this happens, the more he feels the importance of implementing the Three Jewels. Increased revenue and reduced expenditures cannot be supported at all, and he must find another way!

Zhu Youjian's forehead was slightly raised.

Talked lightly:

"Hou Aiqing is calm. I know and will find a way to solve it."

Hou Xun wanted to speak but stopped.

In fact, he wanted to suggest increasing the income of food and wages to fill the huge gap in the court, but when he saw Li Ruolian, who was vicious, could only settle for the second best and proposed to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

With Hou Xun's opening.

Other officials began to report.

Zhang Fengyi, Minister of War, said:

"Report to Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, the Governor Hong Chengchou had arrived in Ruzhou and ordered General Deng Qi to guard Fancheng and defend the Han River."

"However, as far as I know, Deng Yan is not good at controlling the army, and he is not good at raising the military service, and his morale is not in favor of the army. If he is allowed to take charge of the army, there may be internal chaos and be unfavorable to suppress the rebellion."

"I beg your Majesty to transfer away from Deng Yan and select another general to guard Fancheng and ensure stability in the rear."

Zhu Youjian frowned.

I want to reject it directly.

He had learned his lesson and knew that the generals who led the troops from outside would not doubt the use of people, but hesitated for a moment and asked:

"Who is Zhang Shangshu who is competent?"

Zhang Fengyi's face turned upright.

Said:

"I recommend Sun Chuanting, the Ministry of Personnel's approval of the doctor, to be granted the title of Sun Chuanting!"

"Your Majesty, you must not!"

"Now that the war ahead is in a tight situation, how can we change the generals temporarily? Isn't this self-disrupting the morale of the army and enhancing the arrogance of the thieves?"

"What's more, Sun Chuanting and Zhang Shangshu are both from Dai County, so we have to wonder whether Zhang Shangshu's intention was ulterior motive."

“…”

After Zhang Fengyi expressed the candidate recommended by him, a large number of rebuttals suddenly appeared.

Zhu Youjian was struggling for a while.

It was indeed inappropriate to decide to maintain the status quo and temporarily change the generals. Moreover, Sun Chuanting and Zhang Fengyi were people from the same county, so he was a little worried.

Seeing that Your Majesty had no intention of changing the general.

Zhang Fengyi also sighed lightly and did not speak again. He had no selfishness. He just felt that Sun Chuanting was very talented and wanted to recommend it.

But things cannot be done and I never insisted on it anymore.

Officials have successively advised each other.

Zhu Youjian finished listening patiently, and approved all those who had solutions. Some of them were just memorials, and he was vague and waited for subsequent resolution.

Gradually.

There were fewer and fewer officials making memorials in the court, and Zhu Youjian was less and less patient. He could no longer wait to implement his decision!

With the last minister of the Ministry of War, he submitted a memorial to Zheng Zhilong for the extermination of Guangdong pirate Liu Xiang, no officials in the court submitted a memorial.

The court was completely quiet!

Zhu Youjian sat high above him, glanced at the ministers below, and asked calmly:

"Do you have any objections and questions?"

The ministers replied:

"Report to Your Majesty, there is no more!"

"Report to Your Majesty, there is no more!"

"Report to Your Majesty, there is no more!"

“…”

Hearing that all the ministers were fine, Zhu Youjian's face suddenly sank and he said solemnly:

"Since you have no memorials, it's up to me to say it!"

"The Ming Dynasty has been decaying for a long time!"

"There are the Later Jin people who knocked on the gate outside, and there are natural disasters and man-made disasters inside. Rebellions everywhere are endless. Even though I am busy all day long, it is still difficult to maintain it. There is insufficient food and salary, and tax revenue is sharply reduced."

"There are a lot of urgent news every day."

"I am heartbroken and wish I could divide it into two, three, and hundreds, but this is impossible. Although I am the emperor, I can only eat mixed grains on earth."

"In recent years, I have reviewed it all night!"

"I thought I had sorted out the root cause of the Ming Dynasty's civil strife, that is, the Ming Dynasty had no money, so I followed your suggestions and began to increase revenue and reduce expenditure and collect three wages."

"But my financial problems have increased instead of decreasing."

"And there are not many rebels in the world, but there are more and more rebellions everywhere, and the money and food consumed are increasing day by day. It is so much that I can no longer afford it, and my subjects cannot afford it!"

"Why is this?"

"Does my Ming Dynasty not even afford the money and food of his ministers to raise hundreds of thousands of soldiers?"

"I am extremely confused!"

"I wonder which minister in the court can solve my doubts?"

Dead silence all over the place.

No one responded, no one dared to respond!

Zhu Youjian seemed to have expected this situation a long time ago, his eyes slightly closed and his eyes became colder.

Continue saying:

"Just when I was puzzled, the new commander Wu Mengming gave me the answer. The world is peaceful, and the people are actually unwilling to rebel, but why do they want to rebel?"

"Because they can't survive!"

"Can't survive?"

"Ha ha......"

"My people can't survive!"

"And what are you guys doing day by day? He never shared the burden for me. Instead, he fought for some trivial matters in the court!"

"You are really my good ministers!"
