With a strict supervision system or without a suitable environment, no one will feel disobedient, or they dare not do that.

Ambition, utilitarianism, greed...everyone has it.

The emperor is above all else, and he has the power to satisfy the desires of his ministers. If you want fame, you will give you fame; if you want profit, you will reward you; if you want power, you will give you power...

But it cannot be allowed to grow infinitely, and needs to be controlled within a certain limit.

For example, anti-corruption and anti-corruption, such as the command of the army, military law, and the separation of power of food and salary, are all means by which the emperor uses systems and laws to control it.

Corrupt officials must be severely punished, and military power cannot be dominated by one person to avoid warlords.

With these systems and secret press, the emperor would not have to worry about the loyalty of officials and generals. After all, historical records cannot be believed.

Loyalty and competence are not exactly the same; being both loyal and competent is of course the best. But as long as you are competent, the emperor will use it, no matter whether you want fame or profit.

At this time, the emperor was reading the memorials and the title books in the Ganqing Palace, as well as secret memorials from his confidants and ministers.

In this majestic and magnificent palace, the emperor is not only a supreme existence, but also a prisoner imprisoned in it.

How many emperors were deceived by their ministers, and how many emperors were deceived by this memorial?

To be clear and clear, the surveillance and secret reports of factory guards are indispensable, and the reports of trusted ministers are also indispensable. In combination, we will not listen to and believe in the side.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Yuan..."

The emperor read Yuan Keli's memorials and gained a deeper understanding of the current situation in Liaodong.

The trauma of the war was very serious, the reconstruction process was complicated, and the investment was even greater, which made the emperor feel a headache.

If it is just a simple restoration, it is obviously not satisfactory to the emperor. Reconstruction is really a rebuild, roads, houses, infrastructure... all according to the emperor's plan, and a new Liaodong will be built.

The broad and thick roads, even if they are rammed earth, must traverse Liaodong; the fertile black soil, even if it is the cold of the Little Ice Age, will also have harvests of crops such as rye, potatoes, and corn...

If Liaodong is stable, the Ming Dynasty will be stable. As for the threat of Western barbarians at sea, even if the navy does not develop, it will happen hundreds of years later.

It is the emperor's dream to roam all over the world, but the threat from the north has been a nightmare for the Han dynasty in the Central Plains in history, which is also the emperor's deep-rooted worry.

Jiannu still has remnants. The cold of the Little Ice Age moved the grassland south, making life more difficult for nomadic peoples, and there were greedy bears in the north...

Therefore, the stronger the rebuilt Liaodong, the more population, the more complete the facilities, the greater the power. It will not only be a barrier for the Ming Dynasty, but also become a strategic blade that the Ming Dynasty stabs to the north.

The emperor's eyes became firm and agreed to the huge amount of money added to Teacher Yuan in his reply.

What is money? Spending on the blade is the most correct choice. If you are the emperor, no matter how hard you are, it is no problem to eat ten dishes in one meal.

The emperor pursed his lips slightly, smiled with a little self-deprecating smile, and gently put down his pen. When he looked up, he saw Li Chengcheng's smile and the rock sugar tremella that was brought up.

After taking the small bowl, the emperor smiled and drank slowly with a spoon.

"The Emperor." Li Chengcheng smiled and reported: "The silver rewards in Liaodong have been adjusted, and there are still 13.5 million silver in the inner treasury."

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Leave ten million, and send the rest to coins."

The money left by Grandpa Wanli has already spent half of it, and the inner warehouse can still have all the money, which the emperor has tried every means to earn. For example, glass mirrors, textile machinery...

Although the anti-corruption and corruption campaign and the replenishment of funds in the clearing of the villages solved a big problem. However, in order to make the Ming Empire look like it was hoped and to survive the coming disaster, the emperor still had to keep taking out his private money.

The emperor was very painful, but he was not stingy. The income and expenditure were gradually balanced, although there were still a few unplanned expenses this year. But the efforts were rewarded, and this day would not be far away.

Putting down the bowl, the emperor took another secret memorial, which was calm and graceful.

In history, Zheng Zhilong controlled the Taiwan Strait with his powerful navy, and foreign devils also had to pay for buying roads, making a fortune.

How could the emperor have imagined that money would be made? The emperor has been gritting his teeth and raising money everywhere for investment in the navy.

Chen Yourong's secret commentary was to answer the emperor's urgency. According to the current investment and expansion speed, in two or three years, it would almost meet the emperor's requirements.

It's not surprising! Although the emperor was anxious, the answer was almost the same as his estimate.

Build ships and cannons, expand naval troopers, go to sea training... these are all money, and they can not see great results in a short period of time.

Although the combined scale of the navy of the Ming Empire is very large and is sufficient to resist the Western barbarians by numerical advantage, it only has an advantage near the sea and is not what the emperor hoped.

"I hope the money will speed up the process."

The emperor picked up his pen and wrote a reply, looked up and said to Li Chengcheng, "Get another two million silver from the inner treasury."

Li Chengcheng was stunned for a moment, nodded vigorously, "I obey the order."

The emperor just smiled faintly and picked up the memorial and question book.

He was not surprised by the huge expenses. Because what he wanted to transform was the entire Ming Empire, rather than being a papermaker, so that the empire could move forward as it was and maintain it as it was.

The Ming Empire was not only the upper country of the Celestial Empire, but also the center of the world that the Ming people thought. The emperor wanted the Ming Empire to truly stand on the top of the world, stand proud of the heroes, and even become an empire that never sets.

The emperor's eyes were all over the world, not Asia, nor domestic.

The restoration of Liaodong was only part of his grand plan and was just the first goal he wanted to achieve.

For this reason, the emperor spent all the money in the inner treasury, and the emperor spared no expense.

The emperor let out a long breath, put down his pen, and gently rubbed his slightly sore eyes. The warm little hand fell on the emperor's shoulders, with moderate strength and holding it, which made him feel relaxed.

The palace gate opened lightly, and the king hurried in. Seeing the emperor closing his eyes to rest, hesitating and not coming forward to report.

"Parent Wang, come on!" The emperor's eyes opened slightly and said slowly.

"Yes." Wang Tigan stepped forward and bowed to submit a secret report, "An emergency report from Yunnan sent by the Pacification Department."

Yunnan?! The emperor opened his eyes and was slightly surprised. He reached out to get the secret report. He opened it and frowned.

Duke Mu Qiyuan of Qian Kingdom died suddenly?!

The emperor blinked slowly, feeling that there was something suspicious about it, and looked carefully at the content below.

Mu Qiyuan inherited the title of Duke of Qian two years ago. He was frivolous and illegal and instigated slaves to harm the people. The emperor was deeply dissatisfied, but this guy died suddenly, but it was too sudden.
