People are used to using Chen Mu's method to fight, which means that every battle can earn a lot for the government and the country.

The court looked at how much money it earned, but among the officials and merchants, they saw that the court was seeking benefits for them with war. Such foreign wars were comforting. In fact, even so, there would be many opponents, but their voices were easily suppressed by the Ministry of Revenue Customs Duties.

It was difficult to be an emperor in ancient China, because we had to face the fact that this land was the most intense place for peasant uprisings on the entire earth.

Because the theory of bloodline does not work here, no dynasty was born and must protect the interests of most people in all classes. There are many kinds of legitimacy of imperial power, and the most effective thing is to save the people and the fire of water and fire.

If you don’t have this achievement, you can only practice Buddhism and make the people give up on this life to cultivate blessings in the next life.

Officials emerge from the people and learn benevolence and promote loyalty and filial piety. Personal desires are naturally high-ranking officials and generous salaries, but political ideals are also good for the benefit of any place. Therefore, in this historical book, dynasty with very powerful centralization will appear, local officials will make the choice to conceal the population in order to pay less taxes to the court.

But this is not only contrary to the interests of the court, but also dereliction of duty and abuse of law. It is just that morality allows them to do so.

The same contradiction also includes war. A war without seeking to return a strategic significance than a real reward, and the people do not want war.

Perhaps they also want to avenge and be loyal to the court, but once such a war involves letting each of them perform labor service, put down their own land and build roads, build bridges, and drive ox carts to transport grain to the front line. They often have to hand over some of the rice in their own rice jars?

That would be different.

Sometimes local officials will stand with the people, which is not a big mistake, but they are just different angles.

There is also the most important thing, censors and local officials usually do not understand military affairs.

The strategic significance of controlling the grassland is clearly drawn in the eyes of Emperor Wanli, which is a nail that raids the abdomen of the grassland and cuts off the communication between Mongolian Jurchens. A clear map is placed in front of them, and there is nothing but a barren land.

This is a difficult problem.

The emperor was full of enthusiasm, but he could not solve the practical problems. Even if he transported more food from Nanyang, it could not solve the problem of transporting from Tianjin to Qi Jiguang's army. Even if the generals fighting outside the Great Wall left all the cattle and sheep, the cattle and sheep would always be eaten that day... Moreover, this is indeed a stupid method. In addition, cattle and sheep can do a lot of things besides turning it into food.

But Emperor Wanli's cabinet could solve the most difficult thing. The emperor stood behind him and waved his hand to block all the mouths of the court that wanted to speak.

After robbing love, the middle-aged god had already given up. Anyway, he was scolded so much that he was so scolded. The chief minister of the dignified empire even used such words as pigs and dogs. Are you still afraid that you will be scolded again?

Power is a necessary factor in promoting major events without short-term interests.

In the face of the war, the examination method was achieved without any disadvantage. The cabinet handed over to various directors, and the tasks of local counties along the way were refined.

"The teacher's solution is something I can learn." Emperor Wanli in the Qianqing Palace looked at the direction of the cabinet and asked Wang An: "Should I also implement the test method in the palace?"

The resistance to excessive consumption of food and grass transportation was solved silently by Zhang Juzheng.

The Imperial Prime Minister didn't even say a word, but just issued a document to the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, the Censorate and the Sixth Department.

The official documents are short and inconspicuous, but the content is scary.

In the past, transporting food, grass, soldiers, salt and iron from County A to County B was a matter in the examination and implementation. Local officials would be convicted and punished if they were not good at doing things.

Now, transporting 1,000 stones of grain, grass or several soldiers, salt and iron from County A to County B is a matter in the examination and implementation of the law. If local officials do not do well in their work, they will be convicted and punished.

In the past, if 10,000 shi of grain and grass were transported for a loss of time, the monthly inspection and half a year of examination will be charged one crime; now if 10,000 shi, the period of grain and grass was transported for a loss of time, the period of inspection will be charged ten crimes... This is no longer a matter of fine or demotion, it is a matter of dismissal or imprisonment.

Wang An is a student of Nei Shutang. The teachers in Nei Shutang are all Hanlin. It is no problem to know how to read and understand. He poured cold water on the emperor's optimism and said: "The orders of the cabinet master are very good for the imperial court to prepare for military affairs. However, in this way, local officials who love the people will either increase labor service or resign on the spot; on the contrary, officials who do not comply with the people's strength will achieve the examination. When their time is over and the people's hearts are lost, the one who will be affected by their backlash will be His Majesty."

Emperor Wanli raised his eyebrows gently and smiled, "You can even think of it, how could I and the teacher not think of it?"

The emperor took out the letter from his arms and shook it in his hand: "I will issue an edict to allocate Taicang silver and the places along the way, military and civilians' corvee service, guards latch a cent of grain per day, and the people latch a cent of grain per day, and sent more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians to Qingshankou outside the pass to Daning City for 400 miles along the way, and Taicang also latch a cent of silver."

"I have calculated that, in this way, even if Qi Shuai fights to the northernmost part of Urianha, the court will only spend the monthly fee on freight..."

Emperor Wanli raised his eyebrows, and he felt a strange feeling of satisfaction, and his tone was relaxed and bright: "It's only 30,000 taels. If you want to transport it for a year, it will just be enough to spend the silver in the Beijing transportation of the East China Sea last year."

Wang An pursed his lips and did not dare to say anything.

This is just a freight fee. The grain and utensils are allocated by local taxes or Taicang grain, and they are not considered materials for road construction. They spend a total of 1,000 taels of silver a day. The emperor's grandfather actually used "talent" and only 30,000 taels a month?

If the expenses were not enough to be spent by the fifty taels, the late emperor who could not bear to spend them would not have been able to come out of Zhaoling and kick your ass?

More importantly, it doesn’t matter if the emperor does good things, but if Zhang Juzheng does bad things, Wang An was a little embarrassed and said, “In this way, the war will end the Pavilion Master…”

Emperor Wanli looked normal in response to this, and just said a little: "He is Zhang Juzheng of the Empire."

The emperor knew that the teacher had said, "I am not a minister, but a captain." How do you say that? Receiving the filth of a country is called the ruler of the country; receiving the illusion of a country is called the king of the world.

Since the teacher is a regency, you should bear the good and bad things together.

"Don't look at me like this. Although the money will not rot in Taicang, it is useless. Isn't it just right to send it to poor military and civilians who work for the court? The reason why I say it is because other expenses are greater. In order to reduce road consumption, small carts that can only transport one or two stones are not used. They use two carts, one cart can transport twelve stones of grain to the front line. There is also a big head that spends money to build roads, and cars can't move where there is no road."

Emperor Wanli said while lying on the deck of the Wanli room, writing a letter to the Steam Bureau, saying, "It would be great if the Huode Star Lord could run faster. I would like to build a road from Beiyang to Qingshankou to celebrate the Huode Star Lord. As long as I can pull things and walk four miles for an hour, there will be no way to waste."

Wang An reminded: "Your Majesty, the Lord of Fire De does not eat food, but it eats coal."

"As long as you don't eat food, there will be no road consumption, and there will be more coal in the sky. If it can be achieved, several roads in China must be built. Not only is it Qingshankou, but it will be built to Urianha, and when Butashi grows up, it will also be built to Tumochuan, and then connect Tumochuan, Urianha, and Jianzhou, and head north to east to west."

When the emperor said this, he looked up at Wang An: "As long as there is no way to waste, how much rice and grain will be transported to Tianjin, and how much rice and grain will be delivered to Wurianha. If you travel forty-eight miles day and night, you can send food, grass, supplies and even soldiers to Wurianha in ten days."

"The worry of not having food to consume, and the fatigue of not having the army to rush to get there. You can fight when you get there. Think about what the Ming Dynasty was like at that time?"

"Your Majesty, how many taels does Beiyang last time say?" Wang An took a deep breath and said, "I only heard Your Majesty say that His Majesty's treasury is worth the money."

"Hehe, you're right."

The confidant little eunuch made the emperor smile, put the charcoal on the deck, proudly raised his chin, then shrugged his shoulder and laughed, "I am rich, I am so rich! Haha, hahahaha."
