Chapter 724

"Then what happens after the fight is over?"

Zhao Shangshu sat on his chair and sighed silently: "Are you really going to put tens of millions of people on the fate of the country?"

Master Shen sat down silently. He looked up at Zhao Changping, who was already graying at the temples, feeling quite emotional.

You know, scholars like Zhao Changping and Lu Anshi are already "hawks" in the literati group. These two little old men can be described as "old cynics".

But even Zhao Changping was not very confident about this war that had not yet come, but was destined to come.

This is not Zhao Changping's idea alone.

Da Chen's whole country probably had this idea.

After all, it has been too long since Sejong traveled south back then.

More than 60 years...

In the 11th year of Hongde today, there may still be many scholars who mention the old capital and the Northern Expedition, and their blood boils. When it comes to excitement, they will slap their tables and palms numb.

But I really want to fight.

Few are confident.

Anyway, life is good now, why not muddle along?
Things like the Northern Expedition have nothing to do with most people.

The Northern Expedition succeeded, and the common people would live better before they saw it.

If they win, the scholar-officials may benefit, but if they lose, their families may be ruined.

Even the generals group...

I was also somewhat apprehensive.

After all, when a fight really started, it was them who fought with their lives.

Shen Yi sat on the chair, put his hands on his lap, looked at his eyes, and said silently: "Master, this is the last chance."

"If this opportunity is lost, even a safe place in the future may become a luxury."

"If you don't do anything now, it will be the next generation..."

"Maybe without the next generation, my nephew's generation, we can see the scene where the country is destroyed and the land sinks."

Zhao Changping silently raised his head and looked at Shen Yi: "Northern Qi is much weaker than it was 60 years ago."

"It wasn't the Northern Qi that destroyed Da Chen."

Master Shen whispered: "It may be a more terrifying enemy."

The current Northern Qi did not have the power to destroy Nan Chen.

As long as Chen Guo doesn't do stupid things here, and the throne of the Li family of the royal family doesn't pass to fools, then Chen Guo can definitely continue to "live".

But Shen Yi knew the lesson from another world.

In the Southern Song Dynasty in another world, the situation is almost the same as that in the current Southern Chen Dynasty. Song survived the death of Liao and Jin, and finally ushered in an even more terrifying enemy.

Now, it is Chen Guo's only chance.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Northern Qi Dynasty has not completely declined, and the enemies further north have not yet fully grown up.

ZTE must be completed in Shen Yi's generation.

otherwise…

People like Shen Yi will all be reduced to "subjugated and lowly prisoners of the country, from the smallest to the most humble" as mentioned in the statement.

Zhao Shangshu sat on the chair and didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he looked up at Shen Yi and said slowly: "Master, these people are already old, and they don't think about their own future and destiny in their hearts, but worry about you. the future and destiny of future generations.”

"Since you are not afraid, uncle naturally has nothing to fear."

"Ziheng, you often see His Majesty. If you have the opportunity, you can pass a message to His Majesty on behalf of your uncle."

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said, "Master, please tell me."

"Once we fight."

Zhao Changping said silently: "The household department can squeeze out 500 million taels of silver at most every year. Counting the balance of these years, within two years, it should be able to take out 2000 million taels of silver. As for grain and grass, the household department has been actively stockpiling grain these years. You don’t have to worry about food and grass for a year or two.”

Hearing this sentence, Master Shen was a little surprised.

He looked up at Zhao Changping, and couldn't help saying with emotion: "Master is really a good housekeeper."

According to what the Ministry of Accounting said in the Deqing Palace today, the Ministry of Accounting had a balance of about 200 million taels last year. Even if Ku Yin from the Ministry of Accounting was counted, the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting would have to dig out millions of taels of silver from all aspects to make it!
You know, Chen Guo... has only half of the country!
With this kind of financial management ability, it is no wonder that the emperor put him to death in the household department.

Of course, part of the reason for this is that the current Emperor Hongde doesn't like to make troubles, so he doesn't spend too much money, so the Ministry of Households can have some leftovers.

Master Shen looked respectful, bowed his head and said: "My nephew knows."

…………

That night, Shen Yi stayed at Zhao's house very late before going home to rest.

The next day, Master Shen didn't get up as early as yesterday.

Because there is no court meeting today, all you need to do is arrive at the Ministry of War at about Chenshi.

He is the "senior leader" of the Ministry of War, and if he is late, no one will say him, so he is a little loose.

After arriving at the Ministry of War, Cai Yong, the left servant of the Ministry of War, personally led Shen Yi to the Military Selection Department and introduced him to the officials of the Military Selection Department.

Among them, the more important officials are naturally a member of the Wuxuan Department, Yuanwailang, and the two principals.

This is his direct subordinate and also his deputy in the military selection department.

What Shen Yi didn't expect was that the career arrangement of the office of Wuxuan Division was very clear.

For example, the qualification assessment of generals, as well as the vacancies in various places, and various complicated and confusing documents, there are two main things to be clarified and handed in.

Then, Shen Yi's deputy, Wuxuan Division member Wailang, helped Mr. Shen, a doctor in the Ministry of War, handle these documents.

As for Shen Yi, the general of the military selection department, as long as the superior does not say hello, he can almost decide the personnel affairs of all generals below the fifth rank.

Those who are above the fifth rank must report to his immediate superior, that is, Cai Yong, the left servant of the Ministry of War, and then Cai Yong will make a decision in person with Jiang Jian, the Minister of the Ministry of War.

This kind of authority is truly boundless.

Even, the two principals under Shen Yi and one Yuanwailang also have great authority in personnel arrangements. For example, for the same resume, the two principals below should write one more sentence or one less sentence and send it to Shen Yi. It was quite different when the doctor held it.

That is to say, Da Chen's Ministry of War has been too unsatisfactory these years. It can neither actually control the frontier troops like the Huaihe Navy, nor can it intervene in the central forbidden army. It can only manage local guards and some messy troops, so the Ministry of War It seems a little marginalized.

Otherwise, the Department of Military Selection of the Ministry of War, the Department of Literature Selection of the Ministry of Officials, and the Department of Examination of Merit, these three functions are the fattest and the fattest among the six departments.

But now the army is gone.

Not to mention the inability to control the local army, the power to command and dispatch troops is also in the Dudu Mansion, and it is slowly becoming less conspicuous.

But even so, the position of Shen Yi, the military selection officer, can still be regarded as a fat vacancy in the entire six departments.

This morning, Master Shen has been staying in the Military Selection Department. While reading various documents of the Military Selection Department, he chatted with the three military officers under him, and occasionally chatted with Ling Shi and Shu Ling Shi below. .

After all, Shen Yi is a scholar, and he has already understood the power structure of the Ministry of War in advance. In addition, he is the boss of the Military Selection Department, and others will answer whatever he asks. It took him almost a whole morning to define his duties and powers , Understand seven seven eight eight.

After having a "working meal" at the Ministry of War, Master Shen returned to the office of the Military Selection Division, ready to look through some records of the Military Selection Division.

For his position, it is easy to handle if it is easy to handle. No matter what documents are handed over by the people below, they must be approved or sent to the superior according to the rules.

But if you want to do it well, you have to spend a lot of thought on it. It takes time to understand some hidden rules of the Ministry of War and some unwritten rules for the promotion and transfer of military officers.

In the afternoon, Shen Yi had just returned to the Wuxuan Division, and before he could sit still, he was called into the palace by two young eunuchs.

Master Shen had no choice but to say hello to Cai Shilang, and followed the two young eunuchs into the palace.

After entering the palace, the two eunuchs led Shen Yi all the way into the Ganlu Palace.

When he first entered the Ganlu Palace and saw the emperor, Master Shen was interrupted by the emperor before he had time to bow and salute.

His Majesty the Emperor pointed to the documents piled up on the ground beside him, and said indifferently: "This is the file of some generals of the imperial army. You can take it back to the Ministry of War and read it carefully."

Master Shen blinked his eyes, lowered his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of War is only concerned with the transfer of military officers, as well as armaments and horses, and cannot interfere with military affairs..."

"I didn't let you interfere."

The emperor glanced at him angrily.

"Let you serve as my staff officer."
