Emperor Hongzhi looked like "How can you be so embarrassed" and became polite.

"It's right. Yan Qing's family offers silver to fill the national treasury. This is a great achievement. I will pass on my oral instructions and I will give Yan Qing's family a silver loam to bring."

Yan Chengjin had a dark face and had only got a skin lingual.

Officials in the Ming Dynasty had clear regulations, and the belts worn by officials from first to ninth ranks were different.

First-rank officials tied with jade belts, second-rank officials tied with rhinoceros flower belts, third-rank officials tied with gold lollipop belts, fourth-rank officials tied with gold belts, fifth-rank officials tied with silver lollipop belts, and sixth-rank officials tied with silver belts.

It is just pieces of jade or gold, and it should be on an ordinary belt.

It will weigh at least half a pound.

Seeing him looking unhappy, Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Can you still want a jade belt?"

"Of course I want to."

“…”

Emperor Hongzhi felt embarrassed and could not give Yan Chengjin a promotion or fief. Otherwise, what is the difference between buying official positions from the court?

Only a silver bellows belt of Yan Chengjin was given, which was different from the ones on the official uniforms, and was engraved with auspicious beast patterns.

Yan Cheng was so sad that he couldn't speak.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Although the 80,000 taels of silver is quite good, it is still good to replace armor and equipment, but it can be used to expand the troops in the Beijing camp, which is probably insufficient."

Li Dongyang nodded: "If you expand, you have to raise it. It looks like 80,000 taels of silver, but next year, it will be time for the imperial court to spend money, and the treasury will not have any money."

The moon sound of the Beijing camp is naturally derived from the people's taxes, which will increase the people's taxes.

Yan Chengjin was prepared in his heart: "Actually, the court has always had money, but His Majesty doesn't know."

He heard a laugh, but Zhang Yanling came to Zhang Heling's ear: "Brother, he said that Your Majesty has money, Your Majesty doesn't know..."

Emperor Hongzhi was impatient: "Trag them out and have twenty sticks."

The Zhang brothers were so scared that they were dragged out and then gradually became quiet.

Emperor Hongzhi was curious: "Where did the imperial court have money?"

Yan Chengjin continued: "I ordered Wang Shouren to train the three armies, and Wang Shouren will naturally find money for His Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi sneered: "Wang Shouren, a Western Hanlin, has the ability to train the Beijing camp? And he is a civilian, how to appoint him? This matter cannot be done!"

"I also think it's not possible. Yan Chengjin, what nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Jian advised.

"In the Nine Borders of the Ming Dynasty, except for the Ningxia Iron Cavalry guarded by my father, who was brave and good at fighting, the other nine sides were defeated in a row. Wang Gao and others were weak and incompetent. If they wanted to revitalize the power of the border army, they would be Wang Shouren." Yan Chengjin said.

The soldiers trained by Wang Shouren are powerful.

After ten years of planning, King Ning launched a rebellion. The court did not give Wang Shouren a single soldier, so he temporarily organized an army and destroyed King Ning.

It can be seen how magical he is in using military force.

It’s just that Yangming’s academic knowledge is too famous and ignores that Wang Yangming is a military master. There is no one more suitable person in the court and the country except Wang Yue.

The Jingying was very strong from the early Ming Dynasty to Zhengtong. At that time, the Jingying could march and fight, and dared to enter the desert and kill the Tatars' heads.

Nowadays, there are too many fields planted in Beijing and they can't even fight.

To stabilize the nine borders, we must rectify the Beijing camp, and to rectify the Beijing camp, we must rectify the Beijing camp.

Emperor Hongzhi fell into deep thought. This son has always been cautious, but today he said such a convincing thing.

"What if he can't find the money?"

"I am willing to offer a gold medal to avoid death." Yan Chengjin was calm.

Emperor Hongzhi's old face moved slightly. This brand was sent by me. What's the use of this broken brand?

Liu Jian shook his head: "It is true that the weak nine sides are true, but the Jingying is the foundation and lifeline of the court. How can we give it to a Hanlin? Although Wang Shouren is good at learning, he is always a fledgling boy."

If the people from the Ministry of War were there, I'm afraid they wouldn't agree.

Yan Chengjin thought for a while: "Then the proofreading ceremony was held. Now the bravest and good at fighting on the Nine Borders is the Ningxia Guards guarded by my father. Each of them has 500 elite troops. When it comes to gambling, the Beijing Army is better than the Ningxia Guards."

"The Beijing Army is my personal army, so it is naturally better than the Ningxia border army. Why should I bet with you?"

Li Dongyang and the other two nodded.

The Beijing Army was the backbone of the Ming Dynasty and was better than the border army. That was a matter of course.

"I think this may not be necessary. Your Majesty doesn't believe it. Why not let Wang Shouren find out the money hidden in the Beijing camp first?"

Emperor Hongzhi didn't believe that Wang Shouren could find the money: "It's accurate. If he really could find it, I will consider it."

After coming out of Fengtian Hall, Yan Chengjin was preparing to pay the deposit, and Zhu Houzhao also came out of Fengtian Hall.

"Old Gao, you are so cruel. You even cheat your father."

"Your Highness is one another."

"What are your ideas for letting Wang Shouren, a fool, train the Beijing camp?" Zhu Houzhao asked with a smile.

Yan Chengjin corrected him and said, "Your Highness, Wang Shouren is still very smart when he is not investigating things. Please do not insult others."

Zhu Houzhao really couldn't think of it. Wang Shouren was not smart, but when he thought of competing with Wang Shouren, he grinned and said that Wang Shouren's IQ seemed to be not very stable.

…………

When Wang Shouren received the imperial edict, he was stunned.

He came to the Censorate from the Ministry of Justice and found Yan Chengjin: "Brother Gao, why did you recommend going down to the Beijing camp to find money?"

Yan Chengjin carelessly said: "You said that you have established your destiny for the people, inherit your unique knowledge for the past sages, and bring peace to the ages, but you must seize this opportunity."

Wang Shouren shook his head ashamed: "How can I find this money?"

"The situation in Weiyuanwei is the same as that of the Beijing Army. Brother Bo'an can see anything in the Beijing camp if he sees in Weiyuanwei. It is limited to one month. But he is betting a gold medal for avoiding death. If Brother Bo'an cares about the gold medal for avoiding death, don't let him down." Yan Chengjin bet his family and lives on him.

Wang Shouren had a dark face, and then he thought about it and felt strange again. How could Brother Gao know what he saw in Weiyuan?

During the morning court,

There were many officials standing in the court, Emperor Hongzhi sat on the imperial throne, quietly listening to the ministers of various departments reporting their work. Yan Chengjin was among the censors without saying a word.

Ma Wensheng stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I heard yesterday that Your Majesty issued an imperial edict to find silver in the capital camp?"

Emperor Hongzhi didn't know what kind of virtue and ability of Wang Shouren, and he trusted Yan Chengjin purely, so he asked, "Yan Qing family, come and talk for me."

Yan Chengjin's face was as usual: "It's for the Ministry of War and for the Ministry of Revenue."

The ministers looked surprised, why did they get involved in the Ministry of Revenue?

"I have a saying, I don't know..."

"You kid, just say it quickly!" Ma Wensheng was impatient.

Yan Chengjin said honestly: "The Ministry of War often pays insufficient military pay to the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Revenue also makes the treasury empty and does not give it to him. I asked Wang Shouren to come in order to make him give this money out of thin air."

This money was born out of thin air, boy, what are you talking about in your sleep?

Ma Wensheng's face turned green, and he wanted to stand on Yan Chengjin's head and pee to wake the kid up.

The civil servants laughed out loud like they listened to jokes.

Ma Wensheng blushed: "No more, let me ask you, how can you produce silver out of thin air? You need stones to turn into gold!"
