What is it about Liu Mingqi that most convinces the court officials?
Isn¡¯t it just the ability to predict?
¡°We said those countries would definitely invade, and they just invaded.
They said they would not let Qiyan go. Was Qiyan almost wiped out this year?
Now he said that Jin Chenbai would become the most terrifying opponent, and Emperor Jing He believed him immediately.
But a group of courtiers present couldn¡¯t believe it.
the reason is simple.
They couldn¡¯t see any possibility of Jin Chenbai¡¯s comeback.
Even Ma Haoqiu, who most believed that Qi Yan and Jin Chenbai should not be rescued, just thought that after rescuing him, he would disgust Da Kang again.
As for whether Jin Chenbai can break through the northern defense line, this is something that does not need to be thought about. ¡ª¡ªHe couldn't be broken before, but now we have wooden handle grenades and hell cocktails. At any important level, they will only die if they come to 200,000 to 300,000 people!
So then Ge Songdao shook his head: "Your Highness, this is too arrogant! The Qiyan tribe has completely declined now. No matter how hard Jin Chenbai tries, it is just to let the Qiyan tribe survive! Besides, if he has a tendency to become stronger, Can Shi Wei and Xiqiang let him go? What can he use to fight against Shiwei and Xiqiang?"
"We can't wait for them to fight again! We hope that Jin Chenbai will be stronger so that he won't be easily defeated." Feng Yuqiang continued, "So I still agree to assist them."
"It's easy for you to say it, Scholar Feng." Nangong Ji here said: "We in Dakang don't have enough food, so where can we have the extra money to give him?"
"Hey, didn't I say a few days ago that this year will be a great harvest?" Feng Yuqiang asked: "A great harvest in the two lakes, a great harvest in Sichuan, a great harvest in the Gyeonggi region, a great harvest in the south of the Yangtze River This has not happened in the past seven years. Son!"
"You also know that we haven't had such a bumper harvest in seven years." Nangong Ji shook his head and said, "Due to years of disaster relief and wars, our granaries have dried up long ago! Not only the official granaries, but also the accumulation of private people, almost Spend it cleanly!
As for the salaries that were to be given to civil and military officials at the beginning of this year, they originally needed to be given money and food, but in the end they were converted into money, which was a huge loss to the officials. Such embarrassing things can be done. Don¡¯t you know how embarrassed the court is? Sleepy? "
Nangong Ji is still the same Nangong Ji.
Although he is no longer the deputy prime minister, due to the extremely complex and difficult situation in the Ministry of Revenue in the past few years, he has been serving concurrently from the beginning and is still serving concurrently now, with no intention of retiring at all.
¡°Whether it is the emperor or the princes of the court, they still have great trust in the professionalism of this greedy veteran.
What he said is not false at all.
Last year, the imperial court relied on various sales of titles and the emperor's subsidies for private housing to survive.
The salary that should have been given at the beginning of this year was supposed to be half money and half food. As a result, by that time, Sima Bei had already obtained money from the newly established Pengzhou Prefecture. However, because food was still in short supply, Nangong Ji gave the emperor an idea. Let the emperor directly convert it into money and grain, and ask the ministers, clan members and nobles to buy the grain themselves.
This strategy makes people laugh or cry.
¡°According to the salary given by the court, if you use the current money to buy the same amount of grain, you can only buy two-thirds of it at most, maybe even less.
To put it bluntly, this is because the imperial court passed the losses to the ministers, clan descendants and nobles, and took advantage of them.
Look, look, how disgusting and embarrassing this is.
But Emperor Jinghe had no choice.
¡°If the imperial court were to bear the losses, then at least an additional eight million taels of silver would have to be spent.
Last year, we fought for a year and destroyed several provinces, including a third of Jiangnan. How do you think the imperial court can still have so much money?
In the end, it was Prime Minister Cao Yi who could only bear the bad reputation.
"This definitely cannot be the responsibility of the emperor. It can only be your ministers who make the decision to do such bad things."
The court officials are a little better. They know that the court is very difficult now. Most of them choose to understand. A small number of people who don't understand can only hold back.
"But the clan members are different from the nobles. Many of them have been waiting for the money and food all year round.
Now that we are no longer provided with food, we have to buy it ourselves at a high price. We will lose a lot of money over time. I will definitely not be happy with it!
In the end, the Empress Dowager came forward and told everyone that the loss would be doubled during the Spring Festival this year, and then she calmed down.
 p; Liu Mingqi said: "So, even if they learn the method, can they still steal machinery from us? Can they steal those crucible furnaces weighing thousands of kilograms? Can they steal those refining furnaces weighing several kilograms? ?The mechanisms and various adjustments inside can be made by one or two blacksmiths?
Look at our steel factory! There are now thousands of blacksmiths and apprentices working together sincerely. Their skills can ensure the continuous improvement of the level of fine steel, and the continuous improvement and efficiency improvement of various equipment can continue to increase the quantity of fine steel.
Even if they can capture these craftsmen in the future, or even have craftsmen willing to defect to help them, but without this teamwork and these sophisticated machines, how can they refine steel on a large scale?
If they make a hundred or a thousand fine steel knives a year, is there any threat to our great health? Can their elite soldiers reach the point where one can fight ten? cannot! "
After a pause, the young man continued: "Perhaps His Majesty and the ministers don't know what a refined assembly line is! As long as we can train these blacksmith workers well, and rely on our complete and strict rules and crafts standard system , then the fine steel knives we produce will be exactly the same.
But the grassland people are different. They don't have the conditions to ensure that every craftsman works together, so the quality of the fine steel knives produced varies. This is actually a huge waste for them. There is no essential improvement! "
This is actually the same as the weapons and ammunition we used to make when we fought against the Japanese pirates.
You know the technology and have the equipment, but you just can¡¯t make a good weapon.
Therefore, Liu Mingqi clearly affirms that the craftsmen trained according to advanced technology and training, as well as the continuously improving craftsmanship level and mechanical equipment, can produce the crushing effect.
As mentioned before, Dakang is now the result of the industrial era crushing the agricultural and animal husbandry era.
Specifically speaking from the aspect of steel refining, this is the huge crushing of the overall industrial system on the backward productivity of the workshop.
It¡¯s not quite appropriate to say something.
It¡¯s time for these prairie people to experience the huge fear of beautiful country destroying an aircraft carrier with one hundred million!
