    As long as they don't have to dig into their pockets, the mood of all the ministers will be high.

    Even Xu Jie, who has always been kind and quiet, couldn't help stroking his beard and said with a smile: "Actually, there is another way to save money.

    Jiajing: "Xu Jie, tell me."

    Xu Jie said: "When the army sets out, as a rule, the prefectures and counties it passes must provide supplies for the army. When the Lijin system was established, this method was not implemented in Jiangnan, but it remained the same as it was north of the Huaihe River."

    When he said this, everyone finally understood.

    It turns out that in ancient times, due to the inconvenience of transportation, armies would sometimes spend three to five months and half a year on the road when going on an expedition.  For example, in the 39th year of Jiajing's reign, the Mongolian Anda besieged Beijing, and the emperor ordered the nine-border army, Ma Qinwang.

    When the battle was over and everyone returned to the Mongolian grasslands, the Yan'an army reached Juyongguan and had no choice but to turn around and return to Shaanxi.

    The country¡¯s military spending is limited, and it is impossible for the army to bring too much food and grass when marching long distances.  Therefore, the food problem of soldiers is solved by the local government.  Therefore, the army also marches according to the time, for fear of walking to a place where no one cares, missing the meal, and not being able to find the person who delivers the food.  Therefore, it is an example to visit one county in one day.

    Gao Gong also nodded repeatedly: "This is a good idea. Let the local government take care of the food and drink of the Taizhou soldiers."

    Jiajing laughed again: "Forget it, there is a folk saying that goes like this: Bandits are like a comb, soldiers are like a grate. Qi Jiguang has money, so don't let him add trouble to the place."

    Wu Jie also nodded: "Let Qi Jiguang handle the money extraction by himself, so as not to disturb the local area and make the people complain." He was joking, saying that the nights are long and the dreams are many, he wished Qi Jiguang would fly to Shenyang in one day.  If we go through one county after another to save travel expenses, we won¡¯t know that we will have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse when we reach the Northeast.

    Maybe one day Jiajing will change his mind and prevent Qi Jiguang from going to the Northeast, which will cause trouble.

    Now that it has been decided that Qi Jiguang will move to the northeast, it is time to discuss the details.  For example, the division of jurisdiction and the allocation of land for soldiers to cultivate require careful calculation.

    That place in the Northeast is strange. The Liaohe Plain and the western Liaoning Province are under the jurisdiction of Liaodong, but the administrative jurisdiction of the Jinzhou area of ??the Liaodong Peninsula belongs to Shandong Province.  When the army goes to the Northeast, it has to take a boat in Dengzhou, Shandong, and needs to contact the local authorities.  If there is no suitable ship, it is possible to wait for a month or two.

    Fortunately, Qi Jiguang was originally from a military background in Dengzhou, Shandong Province. We are all members of the same family, so we should be able to provide convenience.

    After some calculations, if Wei Jiguang's army starts now, it should be able to reach Shandong in March next year, just in time to wait until the sea thaws.

    Soon, the cabinet secretarial office sent the relevant yellow books, household registers, and financial expense accounts like a stream of water.

    The emperor and his ministers sat together, calculating and planning. They worked all night long to finish the work, and then they retired.

    This night, as the emperor's personal secretary, Wu Jie was so weak in making accusations and so tired in settling accounts that his eyelids trembled.

    But there is a vague excitement in my heart that is hard to contain: finally returning to the central decision-making organ, it feels really fulfilling and good!

    The emperor had taken too many pills during this time, and he went crazy again last night. He stayed up all night, his face was as clear as indigo, and he looked like he couldn't hold on.

    Wu Jie hurriedly wrote: "Long live, I am a mortal, and I cannot compare with your majesty's cultivation. But I can't withstand such fatigue, so I'd better go back to the Hanlin Academy to report, and then find an opportunity to sneak home."  sleep."

    Jiajing smiled: "Thank you Wu Qing, you don't have to go to the Hanlin Academy, just go home." As he spoke, he felt his nose heat up, and wiped it with his hand, but it turned red.

    It turned out that his body was so hot that he had nosebleeds.

    Wu Jie was shocked and rushed forward, shouting: "Huang Jin, Huang Jin."

    It turns out that Huang Jin used to serve the emperor. Wu Jie felt anxious and couldn't help calling out his name, but he forgot that Huang Jin was not here today.

    As soon as he shouted, Wu Jie was stunned.

    Last night, the central decision-making body was discussing military and national affairs. Why was Huang Jin, the eunuch in charge of the Si Zha supervisor, not there?

    What happened to him?

    When several eunuchs saw the emperor bleeding, their faces turned pale with fright, and they rushed forward, icing them, and wiping their faces.

    After finally stopping the bleeding, Wu Jie remembered the strange situation when he entered the palace earlier. There were strangers inside and outside the Yuxi Palace.

    I couldn't help but complained deliberately: "How on earth did this Huang Jin serve Long Live Hou? Damn it!"

    Jiajing suddenly threw the wet thing in his hand to the ground: "Don't mention this old killer!""Your Majesty" Wu Jie glanced around from the corner of his eyes. The other eunuchs all looked gloating, and they immediately understood that something must have happened to Huang Jin.

    Jiajing probably felt that he had lost his composure at times, so he snorted: "Bring Lian an elixir."

    "Your Majesty, it's better not to take too much of the elixir. How about sending Li Shizhen over to take a look?" Wu Jie said as he spoke, he found a red elixir from the drawer of the imperial cabinet and handed it over.

    After Jiajing took it and swallowed it with water, there was finally a trace of blood on his face, and he waved his hand tiredly: "Please step aside. I just returned to the capital. I will rest for two days before coming here to run errands."

    "Yes, Your Majesty." Wu Jie stepped back full of suspicion and wanted to find someone to ask. There were all strangers here, so he had no choice but to walk outside the Xiyuan.

    After passing a small garden, suddenly, a figure rushed over from a quiet place, knelt directly in front of Wu Jie, kowtowed, and cried softly: "Scholar Wu, you are back, please help me!"  Dad!"

    Wu Jie looked intently, but it was the old man from Yuxi Palace, one of Huang Jin's godsons.

    He quickly helped him up from the ground and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? What's wrong with Eunuch Huang?"

    The eunuch wiped his eyes, saw no one around, and cried again: "My godfather has done something wrong, and now he is punished by Long Live Master to work hard at the Chaotianguan construction site next to Taiye Pond. My godfather is old, but  I can¡¯t stand this kind of torture!¡±

    Wu Jie asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong? What happened to Eunuch Huang?"

    The eunuch said: "It was said that he was involved in a major treason case, and he was just captured by Dongchang. Our old people from Yuxi Palace were also arrested and taken away, and they were all replaced by Eunuch Chen Hong's people."

    "What!" Wu Jie was shocked and couldn't help but twitch.  Air-conditioning said: "Don't be anxious, speak slowly."

    He was also surprised. Chen Hong was supposed to have a good relationship with him, so why were his people so rude to me, Wu Jie?

    The eunuch added: "It's not because of the case where Hai Rui wrote a letter scolding Long Live, Lord Long Live was so angry that he was sent to jail. Godfather was soft-hearted and said a few good words for Master Hai in front of His Majesty, but  I didn't expect that this would offend Long Live Master. And Eunuch Chen Hong, who has always coveted the position of godfather's palm eunuch, added insult to injury and gave the case a treasonous tone, trying to get godfather into it."

    Wu Jie took a breath of air-conditioning and had a strange thought in his heart for no reason. This Chen Hong was probably no longer of the same mind as him.  Otherwise, why would you treat Huang Jin's subordinate Wuqing? Otherwise, why would you be so rude to me, Wu Jie?

    I haven¡¯t been in the capital for more than half a year, and things have changed.
