Chapter 81 Military weapon monitoring system

Xia Yan's attitude towards the Emperor of Jiajing was not surprising.

As the chief minister, he is willing to serve as a knife for the emperor, but can the emperor refuse?

But this matter is not the end.

Xia Yan said, "Your Majesty, this plan is just that the distance is not enough to help the nearest thirst. Now the court's minimum temporary expenditure is at least 500,000 taels. I have been raising all my money, but I cannot raise all of them for a while. I ask Your Majesty to temporarily open the silver in the inner treasury, and I will go through for several months."

Jiajing frowned slightly after hearing this.

He also knew that Xia Yan was right.

No matter what, Xia Yan's combination of punches continued. Even if he got more money, it would take at least two or three months, or even two or three months to make it a little too fast. Many major cases would have to be busy for several months even in later generations. Not to mention this matter, he would have to travel back and forth across the Ming Dynasty. This major event would be fine if it could end within one year.

Now, the first batch of disaster relief funds, river work funds, will be allocated in an instant. It will take three months to wait until the daylily will be cold.

But Jiajing understood even more, what is temporarily borrowing or not?

The Ministry of Revenue can only get the money from the inner treasury, and never thought about paying it back. After all, in the mainstream concept of the Ming Dynasty, the family and the country are one. Whether it is in the inner treasury or the Ministry of Revenue, it is the money from the state. They did not take it themselves, but spent on national affairs. Why should they pay it back?

It would have been fine if the financial situation in the Ming Dynasty was better.

However, the financial situation in the Ming Dynasty was getting worse and more restrained every year. Every year, there were holes that could not be filled. How could it be that the money in the treasury was even obtained? For the Minister of Revenue, this was the money obtained by his ability. Why should I pay it back? I had to pay it back, and let the next job pay it back.

But at this moment, it seems that I can't help it.

After all, Xia Yan was responsible for this matter, Jiajing had to give face. He pondered for a moment and said, "Let me do this, allocate 300,000 taels of relief to the victims of Yanzhou."

Xia Yan immediately said, "Your Majesty is kind, I will thank the ancestors for their kindness on behalf of the people of Shandong."

Jiajing said: "Zhou Mengchen, how much money is there in the Yong'an store?"

After hearing what Jiajing said, Zhou Mengchen felt a sudden slap in his heart and thought to himself that it was not good. However, he was mentally prepared in his heart. He said, "Your Majesty, there are about 50,000 taels of silver."

Jiajing said: "They will be loaned to the Ministry of Revenue for a while. In the next six months, the silver obtained by Yong'an store will be loaned to the Ministry of Revenue for support."

It was very distressed to take money from your pocket, but taking out the money that had not yet reached your pocket seemed to reduce the pain. Zhou Mengchen Yong'an Store gave Xia Yan as a bargaining chip. After all, this was what Xia Yan wanted before.

Of course, Jiajing did not lose at all, and said, "What about the military weapon supervisor?" Xia Yan knew the elegant meaning when he heard the sound of the strings, and said, "I understand that Zhou Mengchen's reform in the Ministry of Works has made contributions to the court. He should be promoted to the Military Weapon Bureau and to the yamen under the Ministry of Works. The hall official is a fifth rank. Zhou Mengchen can remain in office."

Jiajing said, "Okay. Let's do it. Regarding the affairs of the vassal state, you should not let trouble for future generations and descendants. Do not let me down."

Jiajing's meaning is very clear. That is Brother Xia Yan, take ruthlessness and do more ruthlessness. Then he will be this good person.

Xia Yan had no expression on his face. He didn't know if he had prepared himself or felt that this matter could not be avoided, so he said, "I obey the order."

Therefore, this matter is the disciple of science.

This is also a matter of public and private affairs.

After the third hall, there are four works.

It is made of wood, iron, gunpowder, and mixed works.

These four works are now sixth-rank officials in Zhou Mengchen's design. Because these four works cannot be simply understood as four factories, but are superiors in charge of each factory.

As the name suggests, the wood work is a weapon that specializes in the production of wood, warships, chariots, cannon cars, shields, etc. Iron work is a production that specializes in the production of iron as the core, taking into account the production of some firearms. Gunpowder work is actually specialized in the production of gunpowder and taking into account the production of some firearms. The difference between him and iron work is that, for example, large and large cannons, even muskets, etc., is a production of iron work. However, a swarm of bees, large and large rockets, mines, tens of thousands of enemies, etc. are the production of gunpowder.

As for miscellaneous work, it is to produce something that is difficult to distribute.

For example, telescopes, horse harnesses, cotton armor, and mandarin duck war jackets. These things are not easy to classify, but they all have to be produced are divided into mixed works. They are almost a hodgepodge.

After the third hall and four buildings, there will be each factory.
