Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 433 Duke Zhen's Attitude
"what?"

"Really?"

"Let's go and have a look."

"What else to eat, let them send it to the Yamen!"

"Hey, tell me, what's going on?"

There was a commotion outside, the sound of walking hurriedly, and then the sound of footsteps going downstairs.

This place is close to the Six Departments Yamen, and the place is clean. It was the place where middle and lower level officials in the Yamen like to have lunch together. At this time, a voice sounded, and people in several boxes ran out.

Niu Fang also showed a look of surprise, thinking about getting up and going out to have a look, endured it again, and looked back at Yun Qinghong.

Yun Qinghong's eyes were lowered, and there was a strange expression of surprise, joy and doubt intertwined on his face.

"Sanlang?" Niu Fang unconsciously called out.

Yun Qinghong hummed, the corners of his lips curled up little by little, and then he pursed them tightly again, letting out a chuckle of unknown meaning.

"Sanlang!" Niu Fang called out again, and said in a low voice, "What do you think of this matter?"

The Government of Zhen Guo has always guarded the border, not even taking part in seizing the throne, let alone asking about the affairs of the court, and now there is such a memorial!
Moreover, it still makes people publicize all the way into the city.

This is really exciting!
However, even the military generals at the border have expressed their views. If they don't move, they are not as good as those generals. Their sage books have been read in vain!
"They are saving themselves." Yun Qinghong's complexion calmed down, and he returned to his usual calm and calm voice, and said in a calm voice, "Think about it, why did Cai Bing propose the new tax increase law this time?"

Niu Fang was stunned for a moment, thinking about the words that came out, he didn't feel a chill down his spine and said: "He said that because the frontier army's food and pay were insufficient, Zhao Hao would resort to such helpless tricks, and the treasury would be empty even if it continued to be empty." , the food and pay of the frontier army can't keep up, once the frontier army loses, the Beirong people will attack..."

No matter how high-sounding the words were, they used the words that Rong Guogong and Zhen Guogong scolded them for not paying them.

I didn't feel anything when I heard it at the time, but now Yun Qinghong specifically mentioned it...

The officials of the Manchu Dynasty knew that the shortage of food and wages had nothing to do with taxes and the national treasury, but the people of the world didn't know it.

Cai Bing used this as an excuse, I am afraid that what he is doing is two-handed preparations. On the one hand, he used the excuse that the new law has not been implemented and the treasury has no money to deduct the food and payment of the frontier army; .

At that time, the people will hate the frontier soldiers!
It really kills two birds with one stone!
So vicious!

Seeing that he understood the meaning, Yun Qinghong said with a slight smile: "That's right, it's just that Cai Bing underestimated Lord Zhen Guo this time, Duke Zhen obviously didn't want to carry this blame, and what's more, Lord Zhen Guo It is also possible that Cai Bing will use this matter to continue withholding the frontier army's food and salary, anyway, he will not get it, so it is better to tear his face and let the world know the frontier army's benevolence, righteousness and loyalty."

Cai Bing didn't underestimate Duke Zhen, but Zhao Hao!
This matter must have been done by Zhao Hao!

It's really beautiful to slap Cai Bing back!
Moreover, [-]% of the salary is just right!
After the opening of the Song Dynasty, even if there was another catastrophe, more than [-]% of the food and pay of the frontier army could be guaranteed. During the period of the first emperor, Cai Bing specially marked that when the law of the first prince was implemented, the food and salary of the frontier army would be guaranteed in full, that is In the later period of the first emperor, the food and salary of the army here was also [-]%.

Now that the frontier army has taken the initiative to reduce it by [-]%, how incompetent are you, Cai Bingde, to increase the taxes of the common people? !
Even a person like the emperor who can't understand the data at all, I'm afraid he can figure it out, right?
Besides, the frontier soldiers have made such benevolent actions, if the civil servants do not act, they will not be ashamed.

Come to think of it, Qin Yushi will play today.

However, even if Zhao Hao is indeed wise and courageous, how could he think of such a coup at his current age?
How can he convince Lord Zhen Guo?

[-]% of the salary!
That is military rations plus military salaries together with military supplies. The food, salary and military supplies of the frontier army for a year together cost about 3000 million guan, and this percentage is 300 million guan.

Even if such a large sum is not available, it is still owed to the frontier army by the imperial court, so why not now?

What is the Duke of Zhen willing to do?
Niu Fang didn't notice the momentary change in Yun Qinghong's face, after he thought it through carefully, he said happily: "So, I have to go back and tell my father immediately, so that my father will follow in the letter."

If there was no one in the Manchu Dynasty to speak a while ago, Master Niu came to write a letter with a Guozijian offering wine, one would not attract the emperor's attention, and the other would attract Cai Bing and others to fight back.

Now that Duke Zhen dropped the big bomb, the situation is completely different.

Yun Qinghong nodded and said: "Well, I will also plan to play tonight, and I will play together with my father and brother."

"That's it!" Niu Fang rubbed his hands happily and said, "Then Cai Bing's treacherous plan will definitely not succeed!"

Yun Qinghong smiled noncommittally, and after the initial excitement, he gradually calmed down.

Can't you succeed?

Not always!
In the spring of next year, in the battle at the border, how well Zhen Guogong and Zhao Hao can fight will be the key to determine the follow-up.

As long as the government is still under the control of Cai Bing, this day, I'm afraid there will be no escape.

"Then this?" Niu Fang took out the file in his sleeve and handed it to Yun Qinghong, "This, what do you want to do?"

Yun Qinghong took the file and said in a calm voice, "Take it easy."

Since the frontier army made a move first, he didn't need to rush to attack Lord Hai. This step should be used to catch Cai Bing off guard.

"Okay, as long as you know what's in your mind, what else do you need me to do?" Niu Fang smiled.

"Well, let's see if we can ask Brother Qin to come out for a talk? And Brother Kong." Yun Qinghong thought for a while and said, "This time, Cai Bing's treacherous official wanted to increase corvees because of the flood in the south. If we go to the south together, we should come up with a proposal and play together at that time. The Jiangnan water conservancy should be built, but if there is no money and food, labor alone is useless. If we need to mobilize corvees, then the Ministry of Household Affairs should also come up with a plan first. The regulations, at least, have to come up with several million coins."

When Niu Fang thought about it, he was overjoyed and said, "Sanlang is brilliant! I'll go find them right now!"

As soon as this performance is played, the Ministry of Household Affairs must be in a hurry, or Cai Bing, you will say that the construction is postponed, or the Ministry of Household Affairs will spit out a sum of money, which is a good thing for the south!
That night, Cai Mansion.

Cai Bing was sitting in front of the desk, surrounded by several counselors standing with their hands down, not even daring to speak out.

Rubbing the tea bowl with his fingers, Cai Bing said with a gloomy expression, "What do you guys think?"

"Master Xiang, Duke Zhen has reduced his salary by [-]%, so naturally he can reduce it by a few more, and it happens that there will be no need to pay for the spring of next year."

"Idiot!" Cai Bing smashed the tea bowl on the ground, and said angrily, "No need to give it? Why don't you give it? The memorial of Duke Zhen also said that if it is really difficult to ask the Ministry of Households to submit the specific expenditure classification , the frontier army can also support it, the emperor wants the household department to submit the expenditure classification today! Do you think the emperor does not understand? The emperor does not understand, but Liu Qi understands!"

Several counselors were afraid to speak.

The classification of expenditures is to explain where the money is used. One or two percent of the money is easy to embezzle, and the thirty or forty percent of the food and salary cannot be justified.

After hesitating for a while, a counselor said in a low voice: "Master Xiang, this Duke of Zhen has made it clear that he wants to fight against Master Xiang. This person must not be left behind."

Cai Bing's face darkened, and he smiled coldly, and said: "Pass a letter to Tong Guan, and say, I agree with his method, let Xu Liang recuperate at home, unite those people, and start next spring. Let the frontier army fight a good battle."

It is the most normal thing for people to die during a war.

When the time comes, Lord Zhen is gone, and Zhao Hao's hair will not even grow. Let's see how you fight with me!
