Zhao Peng smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is wise. I am worried about the money. I have to recruit soldiers, train soldiers, and cast cannons. I also have to build factories and build weapons. I have to remove half of the military expenditure of six million taels. Although I can still survive this year, what should I do if I can survive this year? Will the tax revenue of the Ministry of Revenue be 6 million by the end of the year? If the rebellion cannot stop Jiannu, Jiannu will go south at the latest next year. If our army does not have 100,000 elite troops by then, how can we resist Jiannu?"

Zhu Cixuan smiled bitterly: "I just knew that brother-in-law, you are short of money, by the way, do you have a good idea?"

"Your Majesty, I have also told you that developing maritime trade, building factories, developing overseas colonies, and growing economic crops are all good ways to make money. As long as your Majesty gives me time, I will definitely let the inner treasury of the Ming Dynasty be filled with gold and silver." Zhao Peng said.

Princess Kunxing pulled Zhao Peng's arm tightly and shook it back and forth: "My mother knew that Zhao Lang must have a solution."

Zhu Cilang smiled: "Brother-in-law, what you said is indeed a good method. It's a pity that it's too late. We have to have 100,000 elite troops within a year. When your method works, Jiannu will drink horses and Yangtze River."

"Opening a Royal Bank account, naturally someone will send money to our Royal Bank account." Zhao Peng said. He had mentioned this matter with Zhu Cixuan before. After his explanation, Zhu Cixuan thought that opening a bank account was a good way to make money.

But Zhu Ciyang asked worriedly, "Brother-in-law, but you also said that you need to have your own bank account as a guarantee. How much money do we have on hand can I send out how much silver notes can I absorb? But now our monarch and ministers are so poor that we are so poor that we can guarantee our bank account, where do we get the money to protect our bank account?"

"Yes," Zhao Peng nodded and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, we have to find a way to get some money as soon as possible. But where to get the money? With that, I have a way to grab the money, and grabbing is of course the fastest way."

"Grab? Where to grab the money?" Zhu Cixuan asked.

"Of course I'm going to rob Jiannu's money." Zhao Peng laughed.

"Good solution! If you can steal the money from Jiannu, I will support you with all my strength!" Zhu Cixuan also smiled, "Brother-in-law, it's getting late, it's time to have a meal. Let's go, let's have a family together, and have a meal while talking."

After entering the inner garden, I sat down at the stone pavilion in the middle. A eunuch had already served the dishes with the dishes. Zhu Cilang's imperial meal was as simple as his father Chongzhen. There were only four dishes and one soup, a dish of Nanjing roast duck, a dish of braised tofu, a dish of stir-fried water spinach, a dish of steamed mandarin fish, and a dish of winter melon cup. The staple food was rice.

The imperial kitchen was only found in the Qing Dynasty. Like the previous dynasties, the Guanglu Temple prepared imperial meals. The Guanglu Temple not only prepared meals for the emperor, empress, princes, concubines, palace maids, and eunuchs in the harem, but also prepared meals for some ministers of the court. However, in order to save money, Chongzhen did not allow Guanglu Temple to prepare imperial meals, but directly prepared imperial meals by Shangshenjian, saving a lot of expenses. After Zhu Cixuan ascended the throne, he retained the tradition left by Chongzhen and almost cut off the imperial meal functions of Guanglu Temple, and was responsible for all the food supervisors.

The emperors in front of the Ming Dynasty allocated an astonishing expense to Guanglu Temple every year. They had to slaughter more than 10,000 pigs, more than 10,000 sheep, tens of thousands of chickens and ducks, fifty cows, consume hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain, and consume other delicacies of varying amounts of mountain and sea.

Of course, the emperor and his harem couldn't finish so much food in a year, so most of the money fell into the pockets of officials in Guanglu Temple, and the dishes made by the chefs in Guanglu Temple were still very unpalatable.

After Chongzhen simplified the Guanglu Temple, the eunuchs from the Chenchen Supervisor were responsible for the food. Although the Chenchen Supervisor consumed 36 taels of silver for each meal, it still saved a lot compared to the previous Guanglu Temple. Of course, Chongzhen's four dishes and one soup could not use 36 taels of silver at all, and most of the money fell into the pockets of the eunuchs in the Chenchen Supervisor. However, 36 taels of silver per meal was much cheaper than the ones that were eaten by Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty.

After the three of them sat down, Zhu Cixuan asked, "How did my brother-in-law plan to rob Jiannu's money?"

Zhao Peng replied: "Your Majesty, aren't the gentry and civil servants in the north enrolled in Tartars? You can take people to steal their silver! In the three years of the Qing government, there were 100,000 snowflake silver. We can just grab a few gentry and officials and get a lot of silver."

Gu Ku

Zhu Cixuan put down his bowl and laughed: "Good idea! But the north fell and fell under the iron hoof of Jiannu, how would my brother-in-law take people to steal their money?"

"Your Majesty, I have trained the special operation team of the Falcon Operation Team of the Jinyiwei, and just took it to the north to show my skills! See if my disciples are capable and competent. If they can't even do such a small thing, how can they assassinate the senior Jiannu official?" Zhao Peng replied.

Zhu Cilang nodded: "My brother-in-law wants to steal the Tartar officials, so I naturally support it with all my strength!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will not let Your Majesty down!" At this time, Zhao Peng had already had a good target for robbery in his heart: the Holy Duke of Yan of the Qing Dynasty.

His plan was to let the soldiers of the Falcon Operation Team of the Jinyiwei disguised themselves as robbers and robbed them, and robbed them well. It was just a Yanshenggong Palace, which has been around for more than 600 years since the Northern Song Dynasty. No matter how the dynasty changes, Yanshenggong has never changed his treatment of the court. The flowing emperor and the iron-killed Yanshenggong. If we robbed our Yanshenggong's home in the Qing Dynasty, it would probably be 8 million taels of silver that had not been collected.

Zhu Cixuan asked, "When will my brother-in-law leave?"

Zhao Peng said: "Of course, the faster the better. I will set off tomorrow to head to the north and will be back in half a month."

"Okay!" Zhu Cilang nodded, "I will give you an imperial edict. If you need help from local officials along the canal, you can present my imperial edict. In the imperial edict, I only say that my brother-in-law, you should go to Shandong to contact King Lu, and ask the officials along the way to give you convenience."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Peng quickly got up and saluted.

When leaving the palace, Princess Kunxing reluctantly pulled Zhao Peng's arm and couldn't let him leave: "Zhao Lang, you have to go deep into the tiger's den to get money for the emperor's brother. Be sure to pay attention to safety. My mother is waiting for you to return safely."

After saying that, Princess Kunxing took off a piece of jade Buddha from her neck and put it on Zhao Peng's neck: "This is the jade Buddha that my mother asked for a monk to ask for her mother, so she can ensure that Zhao Lang returns safely."

Zhao Peng felt that the Jade Buddha was still carrying the girl's body temperature. After leaving the palace, he took the Jade Buddha and put it in the palm of his hand. He felt that the Jade Buddha still had a faint fragrance of a girl. He thought about it and hung the Jade Buddha around his neck again.

Back at the Jinyi New Army Camp, Zhao Peng immediately lit up all the fifty members of the Falcon Operation Team who were still in training, and also ordered a thousand ordinary Jinyiwei, and gave them an order: "There will be a special task tomorrow morning, and I will go to bed early tonight."

The young Jinyiwei Chen Xinyuan and the ten young Jinyiwei, the female Jinyiwei Meilan, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, were selected. At that time, some will be dressed as father and son, some will be dressed as father and daughter, and some will be dressed as husband and wife as requested.

Early the next morning, all 1,065 people boarded the boat and crossed the river northward. Zhao Peng personally took the Falcon Operation Team and the soldiers of the young Jinyiwei on a boat, while the remaining 1,000 Jinyiwei took eight boats.

While on the boat, Zhao Peng explained the general plan of the operation to the soldiers of the Falcon Operation Team: "Dear brothers and sisters, our operation is to cross the Yellow River north to carry out a secret mission. After arriving in Huai'an, we will change into civilian clothes. We will dress up as husband and wife, father and son, father and daughter, brother, or caravan friends as Ben Bo's request."

"Brother, where are we going?" Wang Quan asked.
