    "Xuan's army regained Liaodong and wiped out Wu Sangui, Zu Dashou and other rebels, and wiped out the Manchu Tatars who had harmed our Ming Dynasty for decades. Then they wiped out Li Zicheng and other bandits in the pass, and wiped out the barbarian occupying officials in the south.  , to open up the territory and expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty, each of these is not a great achievement, but why it has become a trivial matter in the eyes of the princes of the dynasty. Shiying does not understand, but also hopes that Mr. Chen Ge  Teach me!¡± The resurgent Ma Shiying has been quite low-key since he came to the capital. Although he is the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, his presence is very low, but today he is like the chief minister of the dynasty.  The arena started, which left many people stunned.  ¡×¨J But there are also smart people in the world, and some people soon saw that this group of people wanted to embrace Yue Yang's thick legs.  Thinking of this, many people looked at him with a trace of disdain that could not be concealed.  Soon, several famous officials joined the battle and opened fire on Ma Shiying. The words "Eunuch lackey" were rang out in the hall, and the curses quickly escalated into personal attacks.  Looking at the Tai Chi Hall, which was as busy as a wet market, Yue Yang sighed softly and rubbed his temples with his index finger, feeling really embarrassed.  He didn't expect that Ma Shiying suddenly jumped out to help him, but Yue Yang still had to sell him this favor. After all, he spoke so hard for you and even went so far as to verbally argue with the ministers. If you don't express your gratitude, your reputation in the future will not be very good.  alright.  And sometimes reputation is not worth a penny, sometimes it is very valuable. In short, it is better not to throw it away easily.  In Yueyang's view, it was unfair for Ma Shiying to be called an eunuch. The person who was really related to the eunuch was actually his good friend Ruan Dacheng. Ma Shiying was just implicated by this friend.  "That's enough!" Just when Ma Shiying and a group of people were arguing, a cold voice sounded.  As the words fell, Yue Yang stood up and looked at everyone with cold eyes and said: "I have heard everyone arguing for a long time. It is nothing more than whether Sun Chuanting, Hong Chengchou and the army should go out to work in the suburbs and return victorious. But I want to  Ask Mr. Chen Ge, do you know how much money is needed to reward these tens of thousands of troops? If the Ministry of Revenue can come up with this amount of money, then should the Xuan army under my command also be used?  Did you also hand out the reward that was owed to Xuan Dajun? "As soon as Yue Yang said this, the ministers who were still criticizing Ma Shiying suddenly stopped moving as if they had been hit by a restraining spell, and they were sitting on the dragon chair.  Chongzhen, who was watching the excitement, also looked dumbfounded, because Yue Yang's words directly touched on the core issue.  "If Chongzhen was to go out in person to carry out rural labor, he would definitely have to use the royal guard of honor. It would not be possible if the scale was small, otherwise it would be a disgrace to the emperor.  According to royal etiquette, if the emperor wants to personally lead a team to work in the suburbs, all civil and military officials of the seventh rank and above must participate, and at least tens of thousands of people and escort troops must be mobilized. Next, preliminary preparations and  All kinds of rewards, all kinds of rewards, without more than 300,000 taels of silver are unthinkable.  But the problem came again.  If you want to reward people like Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, what about the Xuan army in Yueyang?  You must know that the Xuan army has made such great contributions in these years, but the rewards given to them by the imperial court are pitiful. In the past few years, they even defeated the Manchu Qing Dynasty, pacified Fujian, and captured Zheng Zhilong alive. The imperial court has made such great achievements.  They all used the excuse that they didn't have any money and never gave it.  Well, this time you have the money to pay Hong Chengchou and the others a silver reward, shouldn't you also pay back the money you owe me?  ¡°Anything will become extremely realistic once it involves money. After all, no matter how good your eloquence is, it cannot compare to real money.  Now Yue Yang has said that if you want to reward the three armies, there is no problem.  But please first send me the money you owe us.  Ma Shiying, who originally jumped out to confront Chen Yan, finally calmed down, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and thought to himself: "This man finally stood up and spoke." Ma Shiying's purpose for standing up today  It's simple, just take sides.  This thing has been around since there were classes.  It is estimated that it will accompany mankind forever.  Since Ma Shiying was dismissed from office last time, he has been thinking about the reason why he was dismissed from public office. Later, he figured out that the reason why he was dismissed was not because he embezzled public funds, nor was it because he was too stupid.  It's that he doesn't have a strong backer behind him. If he had a backer that was strong enough to protect him, he wouldn't have fallen to that point.  What a big mistake it is to misappropriate public funds to pay bribes. Who the hell pays bribes with their own money these days?  But he happened to fall at this hurdle, which speaks volumes.  Therefore, after Ma Shiying successfully recovered, he has always wanted to find a backer for himself. Originally, he wanted to get closer to Zhou Tingru, but after all, Zhou Tingru was the chief minister of the dynasty, and the person who was waiting to report to him every day could come from his home.When he arrived at the gate of the city, he was just a right-hand minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he was not considered a green onion. Others looked down upon him at all.  But Ma Shiying has set his sights on Yue Yang since he came to Beijing a few days ago. Ma Shiying, the Marquis of Yue, has been a famous name for a long time. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most powerful official in the Ming Dynasty.  As the current prince-in-law and Zhongyong Hou, he holds Shanxi, Shandong, and Liaodong in his hands. More importantly, he also holds a gun in his hand. Such a character is not too awesome.  But what puzzles Ma Shiying is that his colleagues are attacking Yue Yang one after another, scolding him whenever he mentions him. Don't they know that Yue Yang's wings are full and there is nothing anyone can do about him?  For such a powerful person, it is simply stupid to attack people without trying to please.  In fact, Ma Shiying also knows that these people can't let go of their arrogance to please a martial artist who they think is vulgar and indifferent, but what happened to the martial artist?  Look at the people under him, Hailou, Wu Qing, Chen Zhi, Tang Hu, Yue Shunbao, and Hu Laosan. Before following Yueyang, the most senior officials were unworthy petty officials, while Yue Shunbao, Hu Laosan, etc.  He is a scholar and a nurse, but none of these people are now powerful generals and frontier officials. How stupid they must be to give up such a big tree for a pitiful self-esteem.  Hard work pays off, and today Ma Shiying finally got the chance to flatter him, so he stepped forward and had sex with Chen Yan without hesitation. Even though he was pissed off by Chen Yan and several official mothers, he was really not very scared.  No, Yue Yang finally stood up and spoke, and he only said a few words and made the person who just scolded him bloody speechless. No matter how powerful your mouth is, can it be used as money?  Seeing that Yue Yang had raised the most important question, Chongzhen could no longer remain silent. He looked at Li Dai, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and asked: "Li Aiqing, as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, can you tell me how much money the Ministry of Revenue has now?  Will you support this suburban labor?" Seeing the big boss's words, Li Daiwen gritted his teeth and stood up, cupping his hands and saying, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Household Affairs still has 1.13 million silver dollars needed for this suburban labor.  At least 300,000 yuan, but if all the rewards from Xuan Dajun are included, at least 600,000 silver dollars will be added. In this case, at least 900,000 silver dollars will be needed to meet the needs. " "What nine hundred thousand!  " Everyone was startled when Li Daiwen's words came out, and Chen Yan jumped up even more: "Master Li, why is Xuan Dajun's reward worth 600,000 silver dollars? Are you mistaken? " Made in Shanxi?  Due to its high purity and good quality, the silver dollar is not only sought after by businessmen, but has also entered thousands of households as time goes by. Even remote places such as North Korea and Annan have begun to recognize this currency, and now it is gradually  It became the main unit of the Ministry of Household Statistics in the Ming Dynasty.  Seeing that Chen Yan expressed doubts about his words, Li Daiwen did not give him face, but said solemnly: "Mr. Chen Ge, if you doubt the official's words, you can go to the household department to check the accounts at any time. The official is willing to discuss with you  I will confront you in front of His Majesty and the princes of the whole court!" Seeing Li Daiwen getting angry, Chen Yan then remembered that what he just said was too ambiguous and meant to question Li Daiwen's character, so naturally he couldn't blame him for getting angry.  Well, although he is a cabinet bachelor, he is not willing to offend the God of Wealth who is in charge of the household department easily.  But before he could apologize to Li Daiwen, Yue Yang on the side asked with a smile: "Mr. Chen Ge, since you are so determined to hold rural labor, I can't object to it, but you can't favor one thing over another, you owe us  Is it time to pay back Xuan Dajun's money? " "I" Looking at Yue Yang's smiling face, Chen Yan almost chewed his teeth into pieces. If he really wanted to get it all according to Li Daiwen's words,  That requires 900,000 silver dollars. Now that the new year is approaching, the national treasury has finally saved more than one million silver dollars. Those officials in the capital are eagerly looking forward to a good year.  If the money is spread out like this, those officials in the capital who have no money to make money will have to eat them alive. Chen Yan, even in Niu, can't stand the hatred of so many people!  Just when Chen Yan was in a dilemma, Zhou Tingru, the boss of the cabinet, coughed and said: "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, our rural labor must still be held this time, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the meritorious soldiers, but the imperial court  After all, we don¡¯t have much money, so we can¡¯t do anything big. Therefore, our related matters can be kept simple, preferably within one hundred thousand taels well, within one hundred thousand silver dollars. In this way, Li Shangshu will not be too embarrassed.  It's too difficult, what do you think, Your Majesty?" Chongzhen did not agree immediately, but asked the ministers, "What do you think?" Others did not say anything, and Ma Shiying, who was determined to beat the horse to the end, immediately asked, "Mr. Zhou Ge,  Since rewards are going to be given to Masters Hong and Sun and Dajun, why not give out the reward to Xuan Dajun?"
