In Fulin's view, it is the time to consolidate the authority of the imperial power and recreate the glory of Taizu.

Will the treasury lack silver?

It is said that if you are not in charge of the family, you don’t know that the firewood and rice are expensive. If Bumu Butai were there, you would definitely not have such doubts, because in recent years, the important officials of the court have emptied the money she brought from outside the pass, and even her dowry.

Fulin looked at Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng in confusion.

Being stared at the emperor's eyes, Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng had to react and bow together.

Hong Chengchou stepped forward and said, "Cough... the emperor, since the regent died in Xuzhou, our army has lost its attack. The troops stationed in the northwest and Central Plains are all defensive and gradually shrinking to the capital... In addition, Prince Sirui, Dorbo, took his troops to respect himself and vassed the taxes in Yanzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou, are actually no longer in the annual entry of the court... In addition, the court has issued a ban on the southern movement, and the specialties in the northern region cannot be sold to the south, which has also reduced the court's taxes a lot... Therefore, what King Shu said is indeed the truth, and the court can no longer bear another war."

Fan Wencheng stepped forward and said, "I am asking, what Mr. Hong said is true. If the court sends the royal army south to recover Huai'an and Yangzhou, it will definitely be subject to the tenacious resistance of the Jianxin Dynasty. In this way, a decisive battle is very likely to be formed..."

Fulin frowned and said, "Then let's fight... I'm not afraid of tightening my stomach. Even if I'm hungry, I'll have to take the shame of Xuzhou!"

It has to be said that Wu fought to kill Dorgon and blackmailed Fu Qing court with his body, which made Fulin very jealous.

Xiao Fulin even believed that Wu Zheng was a demon, and he should be three in height and his eyes were like a copper bell. When he took a step, he would be two in one step. Xiao Fulin even believed that the Qing army attacked the south and wiped out the Northern Expedition Army, which was to seek liberation for the Han people in Jiangnan.

Tsk, it's a savior.

Yes, since this child was born to the present, influenced by Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou's Confucianism, he was eager to become the common ruler of the world and a famous king of the generation.

All the ministers in the hall bowed their heads and fell silent, and some of them covered their mouths and coughed lightly.

Don't think that they are catching a cold or have a dry throat. In fact, this is an example.

It means that I don’t agree with your point of view, it’s just...it’s hard to say.

Fu was not able to understand it when he was farewell, but these examples, Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou taught him early.

So Fulin asked, "Why... did I say the wrong thing? Did the court dare not even fight the decisive battle with the enemy?"

Listen, listen, what is this?

Isn’t this a heart-breaking punishment?

So, Fu Lin knelt in front of him, and everyone shouted: "I am guilty!"

Do they really feel guilty?

Then why don’t you just hit and die in front of Li Zhengmen and atone for your sins? Why should you kneel down here and beg for your sins?

Therefore, what they said was "sincere" was actually nothing more than a catchphrase, just like praising the emperor for "his Majesty's wisdom".

In fact, what they really think is that the emperor is a fool and a tablet, but this sentence cannot be said explicitly, and saying it is equivalent to being in the same way as the whole world.

So, they changed their tone and replaced "stupid", "stupid" and "stupid" with "Your Majesty's wise", which actually means the same.

Of course, Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou would not teach Fulin anything, so Fulin really didn't know that. He even stood up and helped these old men up one by one with sincere expressions, comforting them with a lenient expression.

I really don’t know that these old guys had long laughed in their hearts and thought to themselves that they were indeed young people.

After getting up, Jirgalang suddenly said: "...In fact, I think that the embargo on the south can be removed, which can alleviate the urgent needs of the northern merchants, and... it can also supplement the treasury dilemma..."

This sounds reasonable to Fulin.

The southern attack is a must, but it is different from making money. Both sides have the advantage, so what should be done for the embargo?

But this was heard by Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou. Their faces changed suddenly. They looked at each other and cursed in their hearts, Jirgalang, you are an immortal foodie. You made a fortune when you liquidated Dorgon. Naturally, you don’t care about the fact that you have no choice but to stop others from making money!

The embargo on the south did play a role in blocking the production of firearms in the Jiangnan military workshops, but for some important officials in the Qing court, this was secondary. The main reason was that only by turning the scarce goods in the south into a ban, if the south needs these, it would have to buy them at a price of several times or even dozens of times, and the benefits were huge.

Of course, this benefit will definitely not be monopolized by the Northern merchants. On the contrary, the Northern merchants only gained some small profits, and even the previous profits were not as good as that, because they sold prohibited materials to the south and needed permission.

And this permission is naturally in the hands of Xiang Hong, Fan and others, and the rest of the matter is self-evident.

It is said that blocking one's wealth is like killing one's parents.

Didn’t everyone agree that everything can be discussed, but the matter of ban cannot be discussed.

But if you suddenly make this move silently, wouldn’t you sell everyone?

Fan Wencheng immediately launched a counterattack, and he smiled and said, "The advice of the uncle is certainly reasonable... But the emperor should know that when the coal in the north reaches the south, it becomes the raw material for the Jiangnan military workshop to smelter steel. When the wood in the north reaches the south, it becomes the body of the musket in the hands of the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army. When the saltpeter in the north arrives the south, it becomes the ammunition... All of these will fall on our army in the future..."

Before he finished speaking, Fulin said decisively: "The embargo cannot be abolished... not only cannot be abolished, but also strictly control it!"

Jirgalang's face darkened and he lowered his head.

On the other hand, Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou had a relaxed face and a proud and fulfilled expression.

Fulin continued: "Since all my dear friends advise not to use troops to the south, then... discuss how to defend Haizhou, and discuss the war in Fengyang Prefecture. Does the court need to increase troops to Fengyang Prefecture?"

Fan Wencheng stepped forward and walked forward: "I think the court needs to increase troops from Haizhou... I recommend Prince An Yue Le as the commander to defend Haizhou, and can order the army to go out from Tianjin to land at the East China Sea, and reach it in up to five days..."

Hong Chengchou said: "There is a 100,000-strong army of Prince Ying in Fengyang Prefecture, which is sufficiently strong. Our army is waiting for work, so we will definitely be able to defeat the invading enemy... Therefore, the court only needs to reward and encourage our soldiers, and there is no need to increase troops. Besides..."

Hong Chengchou paused for a moment, "Fengyang Prefecture is adjacent to Xuzhou, and Xuzhou is the vassal of Prince Rui. If the enemy attacks Fengyang with all his might, I believe that Prince Rui should understand the principle of losing his lips and cold teeth, and he will definitely send troops to reinforce Prince Ying... In addition, for the emperor's plan, whether it is Prince Ying or Prince Rui, if he fights fiercely with the enemy in Fengyang Prefecture, he will fight both sides and suffer... It is really beneficial to the court."
