    Yinhu couldn¡¯t help but be slightly startled when he heard this. Wasn¡¯t the meeting with Arai Kimi already reported in the report?  As soon as he thought about it, he realized that Zhenwu wanted to squeeze some gold and silver from Japan to make up for recent expenses. After thinking for a moment, he bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, Japan agreed to cede Yokosuka, and Arai Kimimi also agreed to the high price.  When purchasing firearms and ammunition, as well as cowhide, pig iron and other military supplies, I thought that Japan would not be able to pay large amounts of gold and silver in the short term.

    In addition, according to the investigation of the mission sent to Japan to confer Japanese kings and generals, Japan has suffered from a serious situation of low prices of gold and silver due to the massive loss of gold and silver, and the currency system is also quite chaotic. It is now embarking on a currency reform, which is not necessary in the short term.  Increase trade with Japan.  "

    Currency restructuring?  Is it a shortage of gold and silver, or is it deliberately targeting the Qing Dynasty's trade with Japan?  Zhenwu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. He had some impression of this matter. The Japanese country had indeed lost too much gold and silver. This was a good opportunity. After thinking for a while, he looked at Yinhu and said: "'Four Great Constants' at this time  Entering the Japanese country and promoting banknotes should be an excellent opportunity. I will use the war compensation from the Japanese country as the principal of the "Four Great Constants" to enter the Japanese country. You can discuss it with Zheng Shichang to see if it is feasible, and then discuss it with Arai.  Junmei talks in detail.

    In addition, although the Japanese country cannot squeeze out gold and silver, it has a large number of people and can completely replace them with rice. The Americas are in urgent need of a large number of manpower to open up wasteland. The princes and nobles should be very welcoming to the Japanese slaves who are good at farming. Selling them at a good price is not a problem.  Yes, rice can be transported from Nanyang vassals to trade with Japan.  "

    The Four Great Constants are stationed in Japan?  Yinsu and Yinxiang were stunned when they heard this. What does Zhenwu mean?  Use silver notes to plunder Japanese gold and silver?  Or do you want to use the "Four Constants" to indirectly control the Japanese finances?  This is really a good idea. With the Qing Dynasty as the backing and the stronghold of Yokosuka, there is no need to worry about security issues at all. Moreover, using the war compensation from the Japanese country as the starting capital for the "Four Great Constants" to enter the Japanese country, this is purely a waste of money.  And exchanging rice for slaves was a huge profit, and I don't know how many times the profit was when it was resold.

    "I obey the order." Yinzhu bowed hurriedly and said.  He stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Holy Rui Tiancong, knows little things. I am really ashamed of myself. The 'Four Great Constants' stationed in the Japanese country can solve the urgent needs of the Japanese country. I think the shogunate of the Japanese country will not refuse, so I will go to follow Zheng Shichang immediately.  Discuss in detail.¡±

    Yinxiang also said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Yokosuka is not only a strategic location, but ships heading to America can also replenish fresh water in Yokosuka. Now that the 'Four Great Constants' are stationed in Japan, its importance is self-evident.  I wonder how many troops the emperor plans to garrison in Yokosuka?¡±

    Zhenwu said with a smile: "Brother Thirteen has asked this question. I think he has thought about it in detail. There is no need to hide it. Speak out your thoughts and listen."

    "Your Majesty." Yinxiang bowed slightly and said: "The Edo area is mostly plains, and the Japanese cavalry is not small. I thought that a large-scale cavalry should be stationed in Yokosuka. Of course, the navy is also indispensable. Considering  At present, the number of troops is tight and there are supply problems. It should be controlled at about 5,000 people, and it is best to open the navy and the new janitor army at 40 or 60."

    Five thousand is a little less, but it is the limit now.  Only then did the number gradually increase. Zhenwu pondered for a moment and then said: "Is there any suitable recommendation for specific garrison generals?"

    When it comes to personnel matters, how dare Yinxiang speak nonsense, he hurriedly bowed and said: "Back to the emperor, the garrison generals and ministers have no suitable candidates. I sincerely pray to the emperor's holy heart to calm down."

    Seeing that Yinxiang was avoiding suspicion, Zhenwu didn't say much. Generals stationed in Japan must be ruthless.  Those who are bold and good at causing trouble can create friction, stir up trouble, and find opportunities for invasion at any time. Zhenwu thought for a moment.  Cai Dao: "Let Nian Gengyao go for the time being, grant him the rank of general, lead three thousand new imperial guards troops to station in Yokosuka, and grant him the rank of vice-admiral Wang Tangxiang of the Tianjin Navy, and lead two thousand navy troops. He will not be equipped with battleships, but will be stationed with auxiliary ships."  Yokosuka. In addition, the Beijing News published the news that the Qing Royal Navy and the New Imperial Guard Army were stationed in Yokosuka, encouraging merchants to go to Yokosuka for business."

    "I obey the order." Yinxiang hurriedly bowed and said.

    Zhenwu nodded slightly and said: "Now the tenth brother has gone to Nanyang, Nian Gengyao has gone to the Japanese country, Yue Zhongqi is about to lead 10,000 people to Xi'an, and the Shunyi camp is about to be emptied. The recruitment is expanded to 20,000. Facing the  The expansion of recruitment for all banners and civilians does not have to be limited to Zhili. All surrounding provinces can apply. The quality of soldiers cannot be lowered. Those who pass the assessment after one year will be promoted to civilians. This matter will be taken over by the thirteenth brother and the seventeenth brother.  In general, the Ministry of War will fully cooperate."

    When he heard that the recruitment was expanded to 20,000, and that it was facing all the banners and people from the surrounding provinces, Yinxiang couldn't help but feel moved. It seemed that the battle in the northwest was imminent. He hurriedly bowed and said: "I, Yinxiang, respectfully respect the holy edict."

    ??Yinhu is worried. When will the navy and the new army of the Imperial Guard be able to expand their recruitment? It's just an expansion of recruitment, but they also need to increase their military pay. SoIn the past, the imperial court's annual tax revenue could not even pay for military pay. Didn't the Fourteenth think about this problem?

    Impossible. If Old Fourteen can't even see this, he can't sit in this position. I really don't know what he can rely on. Can the gold from Africa and the income from slave trading support hundreds of thousands of new navy and imperial guard troops?  expenses?  Then wouldn't their brothers who were entrusted in Africa want to be extremely rich?  This is not necessarily a good thing.

    Seeing that both Yinhu and Yinxiang were silent, Zhenwu thought to himself and said: "I am exhausted from running around for days. I have sent word to all the ministries that I will not go to court early tomorrow, so you may as well kneel down."

    "Hey, I am obeying the order." Yinsu and Yinxiang hurriedly bowed.

    Yinsu and Yinxiang, who were waiting, bowed and exited. Zhenwu also stood up and stretched out comfortably. Bao Fuquan came in with a bow. Seeing this, he hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty has been running around for days and is tired. Is it okay?"  Ask two young eunuchs to come in and give you a massage."

    Zhenwu glanced at him and smiled slightly. He was thoughtful and knew that he liked massage. He actually trained two young eunuchs behind his back. But how could these massage eunuchs be as good as the concubines?

    Thinking of concubines, Zhenwu thought of the show girls. He visited Shanxi and Shaanxi. He left for two months and wondered which show girls had entered the palace?  At that moment, he asked: "Have all the selected beauties entered the palace?"

    Zhenwu, who was listening, asked about the show girls. Bao Fuquan hurriedly bowed and replied: "Back to the emperor, the show girls who leave the mark must go through multiple re-views. Those who pass the test after repeated re-views still need to pass the assessment of staying in the palace. The fastest."  It won¡¯t be finalized until October.¡±

    Hearing this, Zhenwu couldn't help but frown slightly. He looked again and again, what tricks could he see?  There are not many show girls who have left their mark this time, and a few of them were selected by him from among the show girls who failed to be selected outside the Shenwu Sect. Do these blind slaves still want to interfere with it?

    After pondering for a moment, he said: "I've been looking for two months and still can't make a decision? The draft girls are here to select concubines for me. What do you think? I don't have to waste my time. Anyone who has a brand name will do it."  Stay overnight in Ningchun Hall, Ruizhuyuan, Guanlan Pavilion, and Jifengxuan, and I will conduct the assessment myself in my spare time."

    Bao Fuquan's neck shrank when he heard this. How did this happen? He knelt down and kowtowed, and then said softly: "Your Majesty, the beautiful women are all the daughters of the Eight Banners officials and eunuchs. There have always been certain rules in the draft. If you change it without permission, I will be worried."  It will bring criticism and damage the emperor¡¯s reputation.¡±

    Does it harm the reputation?  Zhenwu stared at him. If it wasn't just lust, what else could it be?  After a slight pause, he chuckled and said, "It's up to free people to comment on their past and past lives. Besides, why would you want to accuse me? I have changed a lot, so I don't care about this." After that, he  Scattered all the way out.

    Bao Fuquan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, how could this master be so open-minded?  There are a few emperors who have been able to create prosperous times in the past who do not pay attention to reputation. This master is really hard to see through. He was slightly stunned. He quickly got up, told the young eunuch to deliver the order, and then ran away to catch up with Zhenwu.  went.

    Zhenwu didn't take advantage of him, and just walked leisurely to the back garden. When a group of eunuchs and maids arranged by the concubines of the harem saw him coming straight to the back garden, they rushed back to report the news to their masters.  After hearing the report, they all rushed to Queen Hairuo's place. Zhenwu visited Shanxi and Shaanxi for one and two months. Logically speaking, the concubines could not see the emperor before the queen.

    Zhenwu passed through the Dragon King Temple, Jianshan Mountain, Yuanjianzhai, and Zangzhuozhai all the way. At Lanzaozhai, he saw Queen Hairuo and a group of orioles and swallows from the harem. The maid and mother-in-law came up and greeted her respectfully. Zhenwu  Wu smiled and said: "No courtesy, stay on your own."

    After getting up, Hairuo looked Zhenwu up and down, then smiled and said: "The emperor has lost a lot of weight and tanned a little during this tour. The emperor should bring the eunuch with him next time he goes on tour."

    "It's healthier to be in the sun." Zhenwu smiled casually. Facing a group of concubines, he felt much more relaxed. As he said this, he glanced at the concubines. They were all dressed up carefully.  It was bright and moving, and it was naturally pleasing to the eye. When he looked away, he smiled and said: "The taste in the northwest is very strong and the dishes are greasy. Qi concubine is going to prepare a table of light dishes."

    Qi concubine Zhang Mengjiao was busy and said with a smile as bright as a flower: "I obey the order."

    Seeing that Zhang Mengjiao had won the jackpot, several other concubines were secretly envious and considered whether they should also learn cooking skills. Jianing, who had given birth to three daughters, said hurriedly and attentively: "The emperor has been jolting on the horse for days.  , I think he is very tired, why not let the slave give the emperor a massage to relieve his fatigue."

    "Very good." Zhenwu chuckled and said, "Let's just stay at Lanzao Zhai. I'll talk to the queen."

    Hearing that Zhenwu wanted to chat while having a massage, Hairuo couldn't help but remind him softly: "Your Majesty, the princes are still coming to pay their respects."

    "It doesn't matter." Zhenwu waved his hand and said, "Let them pass during the meal."Come.  "As he said that, he glanced at the concubines again and said with a smile: "Let's all leave now. I will take turns turning over the cards these days.  "

    Hearing these words, all the concubines couldn't help but secretly rejoiced. They hurriedly knelt down and bowed to see Zhenwu off. Zhenwu turned around and accompanied Hairuo into Lanzao Zhai.
