Chapter 189 Let's work together to make money!
The excited Zhu Houzhao walked quickly towards He Jin, and her excitement could not be suppressed: "He Baihu, Gu has always misunderstood you! I didn't expect you to be like this. Since you are a loyal minister, why do you still have to make the cement thing and let your father build the city wall?"
He Jin couldn't help but curl his lips again and said, "Your Highness, who said that using cement to repair the city wall is not a loyal minister, and he doesn't want to attack the little Mongolian prince?"
"Building a city wall is just to hide behind it, or is it to be cowardly fighting?" Zhu Houzhao looked angry, looking like she was about to break up with He Jin: "As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, how can I be bullied? A real man should face difficulties and gallop on the battlefield!"
He Jin knew that he had stepped on Zhu Houzhao's tolerance line, so he suddenly smiled and said, "But Your Highness, if we prepare for war and finally arrive at the front line, and the Mongolian aliens have flew thousands of miles away, what should we do?"
"Of course we must take advantage of the situation and chase!"
"But in the vast grassland, we are not as familiar with the terrain as the Mongolian aliens, and the supplies and food are not good. What's more, most of us are infantrymen. If we are exhausted and have low morale, we are suddenly attacked by the Mongolian aliens, what should we do?"
"This, this?" Zhu Houzhao doesn't like reading, but he can still read about military books and war strategies. He naturally understands what He Jin said.
But it was because of his understanding that he was very embarrassed and upset: "Anyway, no matter what, cowardice and not fighting are not enough. Increase the ambition of the enemy and destroy his own prestige!"
"Who said I won't fight anymore? Oh my little ancestor."
He Jin seized the opportunity and quickly continued to fool him: "Your Highness, if the Mongolian aliens come from afar, they will encounter our solid city walls and cannot be conquered for a long time, and they will be futile. Do you think they will be impatient? Will the tribes shirking blame for each other and conflicts arise?"
Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, but the young man's stubbornness made him refuse to admit his mistakes.
He Jin didn't care, but just continued to pour soup on Zhu Houzhao: "At that time, we will have another thunder attack, take the elite soldiers to kill them, and kill them all at the head of the Qiu Chief. How happy it will be?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Houzhao could no longer pretend.
His eyes were obsessed with each other, as if he had seen himself leading the heroic Ming soldiers to rush left and right on the battlefield outside the border. Blood was soaked in his battle robe, his spear buzzing in his hands, and his blood was beating in his body!
At that moment, he pulled his horse and neighed, proud of the nine heavens: Heroes in the world, who else can be alone?
"Talent is good at fighting with one's own strengths and attacking one's weaknesses. Using one's own weaknesses and attacking one's strengths is not a reckless man, an idiot, or pure!"
"Bold He Jin!" Liu Jin finally seized the opportunity now, jumped out and pointed it like a sword, scolding: "You dare to insult the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, this is oh!"
Before Liu Jin finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao slapped him impatiently: "Get out of here!"
Liu Jin whimpered and retreated, his expression very much like a dog kicked by his master. However, occasionally, the vicious resentment that looked at He Jin seemed to be flowing out.
But He Jin smiled and raised his hand.
Liu Jin suddenly thought of the stimulation in the sky, and his legs suddenly clamped, his face becoming more resentful
Zhu Houzhao had already looked at He Jin again and said seriously: "He Baihu, you are a loyal minister, a great loyal minister! Gu now understands that what his father and the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet do is not cowardly, but truly plan and then move!"
He Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao with relief, feeling the pride of becoming a father for the first time.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao clenched his fists excitedly, walked back and forth a few steps, and suddenly spoke again: "He Baihu, you are so capable, how about let Gu Mingri ask his father to send you to repair the city wall?"
"No!" He Jin's face darkened, and he immediately wanted to beat someone up: I finally escaped from the kang yesterday, and you want to push me inside again?
At this time, although the Ming Dynasty was not full of holes, its disadvantages had already emerged.
Even if the Ming Dynasty used cement to surround the territory like a copper wall. Can it be as hard as I said just now, and can you easily defeat the enemy?
Stop kidding.
The reason why the Mongolian alien race could not be defeated in the middle of the Ming Dynasty was that the soldiers had no combat power and the generals were cowardly! After pursuing a little deeper, it was because of the garrison system set by Zhu Yuanzhang.
As the saying goes, running water does not rot, and the door hinge does not rot. If a person knows his future on the day he is born, what else can he do? Of course, he only wants to live a life and run away on the battlefield.
Similarly, if a person is born as a high-ranking official in the army, why are you working hard? Of course, you want to eat empty salary, drink military blood, and enjoy a happy life.
When the enemy was fighting, they naturally had to think about running back quickly. After all, the family’s money had not been spent, and the newly acquired concubine was not yet. How could it ruin a great life?
Such a Ming army will fight against the Mongolian tribes that are fighting against the sky and fighting against the earth, and will be hungry if they don’t plunder. It would be strange if they win!
It is precisely because of this that He Jin resolutely refused to step into the project of Datong Xiucheng City Wall. Even if there is a lot of oil and water there!
Because he knew that the nobles and military generals of the Ming Dynasty would definitely seize this opportunity to make a lot of money. Even corrupt civil servants and local officials who wanted to get a layer of rust would be eager to go up and get a share of the pie.
If a family of Jinyiwei who had no legs entered, the final result would be so defrauded that he would not even leave any slag. Still want to make money? Don’t you see if you have that face!
But can he say this to Zhu Houzhao?
As soon as you say it, you will touch on the military household garrison system, and this system is the ancestral system set by the founding Taizu. How dare you, a minor official in the state yamen, talk about these things? Is it because your head is too much on your neck?
So He Jin simply avoided talking and pretended to be humiliating and bear the burden: "Your Highness, there are more important things to do when you are humble!"
"What is it that even more important to build a model city wall that is as solid as a solid example?" Zhu Houzhao asked anxiously with a puzzled look on his face.
He Jin spread his arms slowly, looking firm as if he wanted to embrace his ambition. With Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin's surprised eyes, he finally opened his mouth lightly and slowly spit out two words: "Make money!"
Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, then became angry: "He Jin, treat you sincerely, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant! Making money is a civil service for merchants, how can you be compared to serving the country!"
But He Jin was not at all false, but said solemnly: "Your Highness, do you really think making money is not important? Do you know how much it took to spend in the Ming Dynasty to spend in one year, and how much it cost to provide disaster relief, quell chaos, build city walls, and resist foreign races this year?"
Zhu Houzhao was frightened by He Jin's aggressive gaze and said, "Then, do you know?"
"Me?" He Jin pointed to his nose and said irresponsibly: "Of course I don't know either. If I, a minor official in the state yamen, can I know such a major country matter? "
"You!" Zhu Houzhao was furious, staring at a solid plate on the ground, as if she wanted to pick it up and open it on He Jin's head.
Seeing this, He Jin hurriedly said, "Although I don't know how much the imperial court earns, I know that the imperial court must be short of money! Even if I don't lack money, should I need money to train troops in the future? Should I need money to build excellent weapons? Should I need money to buy spies and find out information?"
"If you win the reward soldiers, do you want money to help your family members if you lose? There is also the land you have won, do you want money to recharge your borders? In all aspects, you can't do it. Do you think you can't have money?"
"This, this" Zhu Houzhao was stunned again. His ten-year-old IQ really couldn't resist He Jin's tongue.
Especially He Jin, he adhered to the principle of not fooling you and resolutely not giving up, and said: "Your Highness, when Emperor Wu of Han attacked the Huns in the north, he was willing to spend money. He selected orphans in his teens from all over the country, and trained hard since childhood. After more than ten years of hard work, he sent commander Huo Qubing to defeat the Huns and finally destroyed the clan."
"There is also the Emperor Taizong of Tang, who is also able to rest and have money. Only then can he train elite soldiers to defeat the Turks in one battle, expand territory, and demonstrate the power of the Tang Dynasty. These are the heroic spirit of the Han and Tang dynasties. Isn't it all behind the scenes? Your Highness, you actually told me that making money is not important?"
Zhu Houzhao was shocked, really shocked, the kind of shock that suddenly filled his mind with huge and violent ideas.
So, after shook his head fiercely, he grabbed He Jin and said excitedly: "He Baihu, let's work together to make money!"
