Daming daddy

Chapter 140 When the meeting is in progress

Later, some people called this meeting the Snowy Night Meeting, some called it the Big Account Meeting, and some called it the Daming Navy Meeting.In short, this meeting is very important.

What history selectively forgets is that this meeting was awkward at first.Because it was the first time for Wei Ming to hold a meeting for so many officials, so he was inevitably a little nervous.If it was placed in the previous life, it seemed that such a high-ranking official could look at him directly, and he would be able to jump up happily in the middle of the night.But now, everyone is staring at him with eyes as big as copper bells, making Wei Ming want to lie down under the table.Wei Ming, the highest official, didn't speak, and the others didn't dare to speak, they just stared at him with big eyes.

"Uh-huh." Wei Ming cleared his throat, and everyone was shocked, thinking that something was wrong, but Wei Ming only said: "Come on, everyone, tell us about your own situation now."

Generally speaking, when subordinates report to superiors, it is as if children and parents report the same situation. There are only two situations.This situation basically does not exist now.Because everyone now understands in their hearts that Wei Ming is not easy to fool.The big guy came here to make a career, not to make a living here.If he dared to say anything, no one would doubt that Wei Ming would let them freeze in the snow all night.Since this situation does not exist, there is only another situation.That is, everything is missing, this is missing, that is missing, anyway, there is no place that is good.

"Reporting to Mr. Jinglue, the shortage of guards belonging to the navy in Guangzhou has reached 70.00% six, and the food and payment have been in arrears for two months. The soldiers have no combat effectiveness, and they will suffer from seasickness when boarding the ship. This is caused by long-term non-training Yes." Wang Zunde was the first to stand up and disrupt the atmosphere.With him being the first one, others will have peace of mind.After Wang Zunde sat down, Fujian governor Nan Juyi stood up and said: "Reporting to Mr. Jinglue, the situation in Fujian is similar to that in Guangzhou. The shortage of personnel has reached 80.00%, most of the warships are damaged, and there are three months in arrears. The soldiers have no fighting power at all." Nan Juyi sat down, Guangxi He Shijin stood up again, and said: "My lord Jinglue, the shortage of personnel in Guangxi is not very serious, but it is still 30.00%. The main reason is that this year Guangxi Due to the lack of harvest, the soldiers did not have enough to eat, so they ran away. The subordinate officials have ordered that the main purpose is to appease, and the arrest is supplemented. I believe it will be resolved soon.”

"Master Jinglue, deserters should be arrested and brought to justice. Deserters are like treason, and should be punished with capital punishment, as a model." Seeing Wei Ming's brow wrinkled in worry, Chen Bangzhan threw out such an idea to Wei Ming.Chen Bangzhan is right, no matter when it is, it is normal for deserters to be sentenced to death.

"Chen Dudu's words are very reasonable. For deserters, we must have strong measures. How can an army without military discipline fight? What should we use to fight the enemy? Even the most basic things are lost. What is the use of them? But, can killing them really solve the problem? Not one or two escaped, but the vast majority. This shows that there is something wrong with us, not the soldiers. Only by solving our own problems can we truly solve the problem of deserters. Governor Wang, let me ask you, the problem of deserters due to lack of personnel, let’s talk about a problem first, since so many people are already lacking Why is there still such a situation of arrears of payment? Well? Come and tell me!"

Wang Zunde's soul was terrified, and he was sweating profusely in the cold weather for a while.The others have just taken office not long ago, and at least they have something to say.What should I say?Said, offended most people.If you don't say anything, you will offend Wei Ming.As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.No one can offend Wei Ming if he offends anyone now.People say they want to kill themselves, but they really can.

Speak.Wang Zunde sighed in his heart, and said: "Master Jinglue, please let me know that things are like this. During the Hongwu and Yongle years at the beginning of the founding of the country, the navy had a high status. The navy of the Han king Chen Youliang was left by Taizu. The image was too deep. Therefore, after that, the navy was vigorously developed. After that, it was necessary to wipe out overseas traitors and promote the country's prestige. Liu Daxia burned all the precious materials brought back by the navy, and the military salary of the navy was often used for other purposes. Master Jinglue, brothers are suffering! As the saying goes, when the birds are gone, the good Gongzang, the cunning rabbit died, and the lackeys cooked. The navy suddenly became a dispensable waste product, anyone can come over and step on it. The status of the general is low, and the status of the general of the navy is even lower, so it goes without saying that the navy I am ashamed to say that I am working in the navy when I go out. The land that was originally used for salary payment has been taken over by the rich and powerful, so what can I use to pay my brothers? Master Jinglue is a clear lesson!" Such a big individual I kowtowed and wept bitterly there, no one would feel comfortable watching it.

"Okay, don't cry, get up." Wei Ming waved Wang Zunde back to his seat.He rested his head on his hands, thinking about what to do.This is a way to transfer the matter of the general's salary to the household department.But you must know that the country's finances are now in deficit. If the military pay of the local guards is transferred to the country, Zhu Youxiao will not have to live, and the Ming Dynasty will go bankrupt.Rubbing his head, he was very irritable.What about the commercial tax agreed with Zhu Youxiao?Why hasn't this guy seen a movement until now?No, Zhu Youxiao should have ordered to revise the tax law a long time ago. That guy still owes a large amount of debt to the bank. Why wouldn't he want to get money?People from the Donglin Party should be playing tricks.There are big businessmen standing behind them. It is strange that they can make the new business tax come to power smoothly.Divided by class, Zhu Youxiao is still a landlord class, representing the interests of the majority of landlords.The members of the Donglin Party are bourgeois and represent the interests of businessmen.Not only the Donglin Party, but also the Chu Party and Zhejiang Party should be in the same situation.Wait, I have a navy in my hands, so I have no money?Who will believe it!With the navy, there will be customs and ports.It is still necessary to pluck the wild goose.Whether or not the court promulgates laws is a matter for the court, but whether or not to collect commercial taxes is a matter for oneself.I won't ask you for more, it's still one out of thirty.Now that the sea ban is also lifted, I really don't believe that I can't collect money.If you have money, won't everything else be easy to handle?When the navy becomes stronger in the future, if you are on the sea, no matter if you are Portuguese, Spaniards, Dutch, British, or Japanese, if you cross my border, you will be paid.No money?Try it, see if your boat is stronger than my cannon.Seeing the wretched smile on Wei Ming's face, the eyes of everyone below lit up.They all knew that as long as Wei Ming showed such an expression, it meant that he was going to play tricks again.

"What good plan does your lord have?" Chen Bangzhan approached carefully and asked.Wei Ming smiled, there will always be someone who suffers.I just hope that the person who suffers is not me.

"Okay, go down and tell our soldiers that if you want to pay, it's up to them. All the docks have been taken care of by me, and no matter who it is, as long as they bring goods over, they will give it to them." I take money. How much money you can take depends on their abilities. Tell them that the money you receive is their salary. If you take less, they deserve nothing. You can’t do things too much, one out of thirty It’s the bottom line. If you take too much, the military law is in charge. Also, a soldier must look like a soldier, that’s an uncle. Those criminals who are distributed can only lift their shoes. Of course, if we want to To be more civilized, let’s call them auxiliary soldiers. Also, go and tell those landlords and rich people who dare to take the land of my navy, give them half a month, and spit it out to me. If half a month later If there are still lands outside, hehe, then let's try and let them figure it out for themselves. He Shijin and He Governor, try to recruit useful people from Guangxi to serve in our army. The monthly salary is two silver coins to make up for the navy Of course, Governor Wang and Governor Nan also need to work harder to gather up the fleeing soldiers and recruit new soldiers. A tough attitude is not advisable. In the future, we will all be brothers who stir up horses and ladles in the pot and cause confrontations. The situation is not good. We need to explain our policies carefully to others. Also, it seems that the formation and training of the new army will not go on. However, the big guys should not be idle. Exercise physical fitness on land and combat skills on land. After all, just being able to fight on water is not enough. Sometimes, we still need to land. The shipbuilding side should also step up, and we must pay attention to confidentiality. Alright , That’s it for today, let’s go down and get ready!” Wei Ming waved his hand, admiring himself for his ingenuity.

"promise!"
