The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son

Zhu Hou took pleasure, and pulled Fang Jifan into the palace!

Who expected to have arrived at noon, a **** hurried out from the inside: "It turns out that Xinjian Bo is here, hurry, come quickly, Your Majesty is in the Nuan Pavilion, just about to summon."

Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao glanced at each other, Zhu Houzhao said: "You go to see the father and emperor, this palace is going to see the sister, let's see you next."

Let's just go away.

Fang Jifan shook his head and hurriedly arrived at the Nuan Pavilion, but when he saw here, Liu Jian and Shang Ma Wensheng and others came.

Ma Wensheng seemed to be in a good mood. He went to the Western world and the progress was very smooth. He had seen Xu Jing and had a long talk with him. He thought Xu Jing was more reliable than Fang Jifan!

This time, I finally got the bottom of my heart. Xu Jingwei was the emissary, and he would lead the fleet to continue to go to sea to leave the country.

the most important is.

Sanbao eunuch's map of the world left by his old man.

This map has been printed by the inner court under the instruction of the Emperor Hongzhi and issued everywhere.

At least everyone has a head, knowing the location of the legendary golden seed country.

Right now, Daming ’s fleet has reached the bones, that is, the east coast of Kunlunzhou. The next step is to bypass the entire Kunlunzhou to the west of Kunlunzhou.

Analyzed from the news that the world's dross king Wushi, the accuracy of the world's maps is extremely high, and there is almost no difference between the countries explored by the world's dross king Wushi.

Once you reach the West Bank, you will have to cross a vast ocean, and you will reach the huge island by then.

Everything going west is preparing for landing on that island.

Of course, there are difficulties.

There are many ships of Flemish robots and big cannibals in Kunlunzhou. Many ships are on the route of that area. Without their help, it is impossible to get supplies!

The plan formulated by the Ministry of Defense is that there are only two ways to solve the supply problem. One is to reduce the fleet to the smallest size, but this is a bit difficult, because in Kunlun Island, once it is attacked by a Franco robot or a big cannibal The consequences are unimaginable. In order to be safe, you need a large enough fleet to go full load and do your best to make up for the supply. With this huge fleet, after arriving at some settlements of Flemish robots, in fact Don't worry about the other party's refusal to provide supplies, because in Xu Jing's plan, the settlement of the Francis robots in Kunlunzhou and the port's armed forces are not strong, and the scale is not more than a hundred people.

Their firearms are relatively sophisticated, and their combat effectiveness is also very strong.

However, if there is a squad of 1,500 people equipped with birdbrushes, the robots who want to come to Fran would not choose to use excessive means.

This is not a big problem for the Ministry of Military Affairs. It should be known that when the Sanbao **** went to the west, it had maintained a fleet of 20,000 or 30,000 people. Next, the Ministry of Military Affairs will try to build a fleet of thousands of people. .

For this, Ma Wensheng is now very troubled.

To be more precise, both Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian are actually troubled.

Meet Fang Jifan and wait for Fang Jifan to salute the emperor, Ma Wensheng took the lead and said: "How much money do you need to spend to build a new ball and build a flying ball?"

Well, it's money again!

Sure enough, money is the core of everything in this world.

Fang Jifan said: "The whale skin is more expensive, cough, this one flying ball, the skin is down, I am afraid that it will cost hundreds of two silver, plus the other, probably, a three hundred two silver is enough."

His Majesty hopes to make a batch of flying **** for use in various border towns.

One ship is three hundred and two. Isn't this one hundred ships thirty thousand?

This number is actually acceptable.

But Li Dongyang is very hurt because he knows that there must be more than one hundred ships, and he said carefully: "What is the usual maintenance geometry? In addition, I am afraid that a flying ball needs at least three or five people. Counting it is also a lot of expenses. "

Fang Jifan thought for a while, he was a straightforward person, unwilling to fooling Li Dongyang, so he said: "Not only that, but the most expensive one is fuel, the fuel at the moment is refined whale oil, at least one hour in the sky, at least If it takes two pounds of refined whale oil, if you want to maintain ten hours or even twenty hours, you will need more whale oil. But in the future, you may think of ways to replace whale oil with other oils. "

Fang Jifan's words, for Li Dongyang, is almost the same as saying two words in the hand and Li Dongyang, playing money.

Li Dongyang said with a blank expression: "In this way, there is indeed a lot of waste. If the nine sides are so big, if there are fewer flying balls, it will not help, but if it is too much, to be honest, the military department has been spending a lot of money in these years. There is no rice in the pot. Although your majesty can spend some internal money, you have to raise so many flying balls. "

He shook his head.

The Hube Department is careful and budget-conscious, so Li Dongyang complains, it is understandable.

Ma Wensheng didn't dare to say anything. He really had no face and asked for money. In fact, he knew that the cost was too great.

The other ministries are also here, everyone is very resentful of Ma Wensheng.

The money and grain of this court went to the military department in ten places, and the other ministries were eating the soil.

"New Bo."

It was at this moment that someone stood up, but it was the official Shang Wangao!

Wang Ao's temper is not very good. After all, he is still a bureaucrat, who is not called a celestial official, and his status is not under the cabinet bachelor, because he is in charge of the court's test, which determines the rise and fall of numerous officials.

Wang Ao is very upset.

In these years, the other ministries have stood side by side. Every year, when the household department counts the annual income and the annual income of the year, almost all the money and grain are moved to the military department. To be honest, it looks distressed.

Wang Ao was the teacher of Emperor Hongzhi. At the time, he taught the Emperor Hongzhi in the House of Chans, so even Emperor Hongzhi had to call him Master Wang.

Wang Ao said: "Xinbo believes that this flying ball can kill the enemy?"

Fang Jifan said: "I haven't said that you can kill the enemy, I mean, you can investigate."

Wang Ao smiled slightly: "You can't kill the enemy, it's useless. The court set up so many fortresses outside the customs, and built so many beacon towers. The barriers are continuous and echo each other. Why not rely on flying **** to warn you? I think this thing looks horrible, but it is actually useless. It ’s just a tricky thing. It ’s still the old way. The court has had many difficulties in these years. The money is taken from the people ’s fat, and it ’s spent on it. In fact, it is the practice of ruining people's wealth, what does His Majesty and the Duke think? "

The more courts, the more rules, and the more high-level meetings in such temples, they often close their doors and express their opinions.

Wang Ao's words won many people's approval.

Especially Li Dongyang, Li Dongyang said with a smile: "Of course, it can not be said that it is completely useless, but depends on whether it is so useful. Jianbo's flying ball is of course good."

With a smile on his face, Li Dongyang is not as straightforward as Wang Ao, and he still knows how to turn: "But, compared to the expenditure of so much money, it is worth asking whether it is worth the money? Wang Gong said to fly The ball ca n’t kill the enemy, yeah, ca n’t kill the enemy, what is the use? Instead of this, it is better to equip more firearms and iron cannons in the customs. This is the weapon of the Tatars when they strike. "

Everyone nodded and felt reasonable.

Li Dongyang looked at Ma Wensheng and said with a smile: "What do you think of the negative picture?"

Ma Wensheng smiled embarrassedly, somehow, he squeezed his beard: "Xin Bo thought."

It's really tiring to deal with these old guys.

Is motionless and money, and it seems that it has cost you a penny, and it has become an ancient sinner.

They are all old ministers, and today Confucianism is a very serious way of thinking about Chonggu. It is generally believed that when a new thing comes out, the old ancestors did not have this thing, would n’t it be very bullish? It can be seen that there is no hindrance to this thing, even if it is not.

This is even more true for veterans such as Li Dongyang. Their group has a natural conservative nature.

Fang Jifan thought for a while and said: "You must always try everything ~ www.readwn.com ~ If you dare not give it a try, how do you know the result? When the Emperor Taizu was there, I was clearing the desert, but a hundred years later, Daming is still the same as Ming, and the officers and men are still these officers and men. The guns, iron cannons, swords and halberds used are also exactly the same, but why are they now shrinking and being controlled by people everywhere? "

"It can be seen from this that the biggest disadvantage in Ma Zheng's current situation is the change of time, and the former set is no longer usable. The emperor's martial arts of Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Wen, to this day and now, make us conservative. The use of flying **** is not very useful. This is a matter of deliberation. But today, Daming must change and must find a way to sum up a new set of methods of combat against the Tatars. Try it, otherwise, I only think about this wasteful food every day, and that wasteful money. But the court spent countless money, but still can not eliminate the hidden dangers in the border town, is this not a huge waste? Is it annually allocated to the border town? Money and food are astronomical figures. "

Ma Wensheng's old face involuntarily smoked.

The worst result came out.

As expected, the two sides are not pleased, Li Dongyang and others think that they squander money. Fang Jifan also pointed out Ma Zheng ’s problem and pointed out that it was also a huge waste to simply pay the money with the old method.

Anyway, in the eyes of both sides, it is the fault of the Ministry of Defense.

This is tantamount to Li Dongyang and Wang Ao cursing the defeat of the Ministry of Military Affairs and wants to use the balloons to cheat the money.

Fang Jifan gave Ma Wensheng a backhand slap in the backhand, refuting Li Dongyang and Wang Ao, this group of scumbags, even if they do n’t use balloons, they are also the scumbags of the pit father.
