Chapter 175: This target is amazing

"Report to Your Majesty, I dare to ask, where does Your Majesty's news come from? Is it reliable?" A minister raised questions about the reliability of the emperor's news, and these inferences were based on this news.

Speaking of sources of information, Yang Jingwei is the least afraid. This history book can be said that the most distinctive thing about the Ming Dynasty was the rule of spies. The Jinyiwei, the East Factory, the West Factory, and the Inner Factory were many names. Just take one of them out of the information. Do these ministers dare to check the Jinyiwei's foundation? Yang Jingwei is ready to let go of his courage to fool the ministers. This is the asymmetry of information.

"Source of news? Haha, this, my Jinyiwei and Dongchang are not vegetarians. Although I have been a little lazy in recent years, as long as I have been serious in everything, I can always find some clues. I have asked someone to check some records about Japan and find a lot of useful things. This... is the matter of the Neiwei." Yang Jing pushed the source of this news to the secret agencies of Jinyiwei and the Neiwei. In fact, this is purely a scare. Japan is now unable to take care of itself and is in great civil strife. There is energy to cause trouble for the Ming Dynasty. However, this group of Ming Dynasty elites would definitely not know the news from Japan. In their opinion, the place in Japan is an uncivilized barbaric area. Who would care about it? This is also Yang Jing's confidence to deceive the ministers. He is bullying them and not knowing the inside story. The asymmetry of information is the advantage of time travelers.

When the ministers heard the emperor's words about the Jinyiwei and the inner factory, they all felt nervous. They remembered that the emperor was holding a murder knife in his hand and looked at Cao Huachun. Cao Huachun was also shocked. The emperor also had sources of information other than himself. Otherwise, he would have no news about this matter! It seems that he would be careful in doing things in the future. The emperor had a lot of ears and ears. Seeing the eyes of the ministers looking at him, he quickly lowered his head and pretended not to see it.

In Wenhua Hall, no one spoke for a long time, and Yang Jie also sat there, waiting for the ministers to say something, and was ready to convince the ministers in the court. Otherwise, this matter would never end, and it would not be a matter. Yang Jie was sure to convince the scholars and officials of the Ming Dynasty, at least, to convince some of them, which was enough.

"Report to your Majesty, I think it is time to send an envoy to visit Japan, so as to determine whether Japan is targeting our country and whether it is preparing to attack our country. Otherwise, it would be impossible to just rely on the random speculations of our monarchs and ministers here!" A minister was about to send someone out.

"Your family, do you rather believe that the Japanese would not attack our country, and you would rather believe that the Japanese are kind than believe me? Send an envoy to the Japanese? What can you see? What can you hear? The Japanese are not stupid enough to put their swords in front of the envoy for the envoy to review. I will naturally send a reconnaissance agency for this matter, so you won't bother you." Yang Jing hated these scholars and officials of the Ming Dynasty more and more. He fought in his own nest if he had nothing to do. He said this. They still don't want to build warships by themselves.

"I should die, damn it, it's not that I don't believe Your Majesty. But I think that before there is no definite news, our dynasty should not use weapons and build warships. It's not too late to make a conclusion after the news is confirmed." The minister reiterated the bureaucrats' meaning. No matter what, it's impossible to build warships. The rest are all too much trouble.

With a "bang", a cup was smashed to the ground by Yang Jing. Yang Jing said angrily: "In a word, can't you build a ship anyway? Do you have to wait for me to be captured and my capital is besieged before you can be happy? You want to be that slave, I don't want to be that prisoner, I don't want to be. You want to die, I don't want to be someone! Come out for me and let this guy who is determined to be a slave of a country to be cool and wake up." Yang Jing's anger erupted and was so depressed. Isn't this just the little selfishness in the heart of the civil servant? It's not okay to persuade him, but Yang Jing really wants to kill a few.

The guards in the hall soon dragged the guy out. After the minister shouted, the topic continued.

Yang Jing's anger was vented for a while and he became better. He began to continue his tricks. This was always something that he had to convince the ministers. If you really couldn't convince him, you could only change others. Yang Jing would have to continue to do this going to sea. The most important thing is that Yang Jing is very confident in his own things.

"Okay, the people who are in the way and the unreasonable are gone. Now, let's discuss this matter about Japan again. Please be more rational. For the sake of the people of the Ming Dynasty, I will warn you first. Don't disclose the content of today's conversation. Otherwise, once I find out who leaked the secret, I will never forgive me."

The ministers shivered again. When they came, they had already predicted the emperor's anger and were prepared. Unexpectedly, the emperor's words were even more powerful than getting angry. They listened carefully to what the emperor was going to say.

"Big partner, clean up all the irrelevant people." Yang Jing issued a cleanup order.

Wang Chengen responded and began to clean up people. The irrelevant eunuchs, palace maids, and guards with too low rank were all cleared. The rest were these ministers, emperors, and some guards with higher ranks.

"I hope you don't see any words in the following conversation. It's enough to keep it in your heart. Before this matter is successful, no one knows this matter. Do you understand?" Yang Jing first made a mysterious request. This time, the atmosphere of the conversation was extremely mysterious, and the ministers were raised, and they all prepared to see what tricks the emperor was going to play.

The ministers said one after another: "I will remember Your Majesty's order and will definitely not disclose a single word, let alone mention this matter."

"Who is your dear minister who knows more about Japan?" Yang Jing decided to find a "partner", and the two of them played a "double act" and performed a scene for these important officials.

However, no one dared to stand up and say that he knew Japan well. They all looked at each other and finally stopped at Sun Chengzong. Sun Chengzong was embarrassed and came out and said, "Your Majesty, I should have solved your doubts for you. Unfortunately, my understanding of Japan is really limited. If it is something recorded in history, I might be able to say something. If I ask you what Japan is now, I can't tell me why..." Sun Chengzong said frankly that he didn't understand Japan either.

When the ministers saw that Sun Chengzong said this, they felt even more embarrassed. This minister cannot solve the problem of the emperor, and they really have the responsibility of being a minister.

"Well, it's okay. Since you don't know much about Japan, then I'll tell you about the situation I've collected recently." Yang Jingying said to you: You know you can't tell the reason about Japan. If you know, you won't be called the elite of the Ming Dynasty.

"Please give your Majesty the teachings." The ministers said this again.

"Do you know, why can the little Japanese country afford 300,000 soldiers to cross the sea to expedition our vassal state?" Yang Jing took the lead in asking a heuristic question.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand. How can a country on a small island support so many soldiers? It can fight with our country several times, causing tens of thousands of elite soldiers to suffer casualties. This ambition of Japan should not be underestimated." A minister was also curious about the fact that Japan could raise so many soldiers.

"Well, this is the key to the problem. If I want to prevent the Japanese invasion, I must understand the details of Japan. How can a small Japanese country afford hundreds of thousands of soldiers? You guys, have you heard that Japan is a country of gold and silver mountains?" Yang Jing began to guide these ministers to think according to their own way of thinking.

When the ministers heard this, they all looked at each other with a strange look. One of them came out and said, "Your Majesty, this kind of rumor is heard occasionally, but it is not confirmed, so it is probably impossible to do it." Many of these ministers' families are engaged in smuggling, and they know a little about the rumors at sea. When they see the emperor talking about such "unspoken rules", they all look abnormal.

"I heard that, that's good, but do you know how much gold and silver this country can produce every year?" Yang Jing threw out a heuristic "bomb".

"Report to Your Majesty, I really don't know this! But I think about how much silver can I produce in that uncivilized and weak place? In a year, tens of thousands of taels and tens of thousands of taels are probably more. So what if I know? Could it be..." The minister said in the end that he would still snatch it? Seeing that this was the hall where the matter was discussed, he didn't say it out, which was not nice.

"High tens of thousands of taels? Chichi... My dear is too small, why don't you expand this number ten times? In this way, it's about the same as the annual gold and silver production in Japan." Yang Jing's bomb, with a "boom", shocked the ministers and were stunned.

Yang Jie looked at the group of stupid ministers below, and opened his mouth wide and his eyes stared at him, and he knew that the bomb was very successful.

"Chichi... You guys may not know yet, and you didn't expect that this country would produce so much gold and silver every year? I think our country's annual income is only about three million taels. This country can catch up with the annual income of our country by digging gold and silver from the mountains. How can you not be anxious? How can you tell me not to prepare? More than two million taels of silver per year are almost the same as the military pay for our country's entire year. If you don't find a way, the troubles of the country will be at hand!"

Yang Jing's words were like jet fighters, passing over the heads of these Ming Dynasty elites. The feeling of this group of elites was that the hot air was burning, and the scene of the war was very close.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Your Majesty, I don't know where the news of Your Majesty came from, absolutely impossible..." A minister asked in disregard for etiquette.

"Impossible, hehe, my partner, let me show you the things." Yang Jing prepared a lot of things for today's foolings.

"As for your order, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen personally went to the back and brought out a plate, covering it with yellow silk. Wang Chengen walked to the ministers and uncovered the cloth covered on the plate.

"Wow……"

"oh……"

"oh……"

Not only the ministers took a breath, but even the guards who were at the side looked greedy and exclaimed in surprise.

In Wang Chengen's plate, he was holding a plate of golden, heavy gold coins. He saw so big and so many gold coins at once, and without preparation, many people showed their true colors of greed.

"You guys, please take a look, what is the origin of this gold coin?" Yang Jiewei saw that he and many people showed a greedy expression, and he was disdainful in his heart.

The ministers picked up a gold coin from the plate that Wang Chengen took and looked at it. The gold coin was too big. Some people had long palms and some people had wide palms. The ministers held it in their hands. The entire Wenhua Hall immediately shone with golden light, shaking eyes.

The ministers looked at it for a long time before someone said, "Your Majesty, this thing is not like the thing cast in the Central Plains! I look at this thing, and it has been cast for some time, not like the ones cast in recent years. I dare to ask Your Majesty, is it minted by the Japanese?" This minister still saw some of the names from this gold coin. It is too exaggerated to say that it is a gold coin, but it is a golden palm.

"Haha, yes, this Qing family has good eyesight, and can tell that it was made by Japan. Indeed, this thing is called the 'Tianzheng Dajue', which is a gold coin minted by the Japanese. It is probably decades since its birth. How can you, the Qing family see what it sees from this?" In order to collect the "evidence" of the Japanese "rich" of the Japanese, Yang Jing spent a lot of effort to search for a lot of Japanese rich information, and specially found these gold coins to fool the ministers, so that the ministers believed that Japan was very rich, and Japan would send troops and had to build a large warship.

A minister weighed the "gold coin" in his hand for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, I use my hand to test this thing. I am afraid it is three or two. Such a heavy gold is cast into a gold coin. This is really..." The minister shook his head. What does it mean that the three or two gold cast into a gold coin? It means that the person who casts gold is rich and has a lot of gold, so he should show off.

"What's the real thing?" Yang Jing asked quickly.

"Report to Your Majesty, it's really, alas... there's too much gold!" The minister said unwillingly.

"There is a lot of gold? Indeed, the news I have collected says that this Japanese man has recorded that decades ago, a leader of Japan rewarded 6,000 gold coins at one time. The silver coins are not counted. It is not an exaggeration for the Qing family to say that he is rich..." The explosive news of Yang Jing also stunned the people in the Wenhua Palace. This Japanese man is indeed too rich and is indeed digging gold.

The ministers below were all stupid and rewarded 6,000 gold coins at one time. This kind of work would be awkward even the emperor in front of him.

"Japan not only has more gold, but more silver. It is said that the amount of silver is several times gold, and it is said that they are dug out of the mountains of gold and silver. It is said that I am not very clear about the current silver production in Japan, but I just summarized it intermittently, which may be around 2 million. This is because the technology of Japan's silver mountain mining is not good, which causes the production to be insufficient. If the output is sufficient, it is probably not a problem to turn it over! It is said that the silver mountain in Japan has been mined for hundreds of years.

It's time, this mountain of gold and silver is really a mountain..." Yang Jing said no matter how much money and how much money the Japanese state had, completely ignored the ministers below, and looked stupid. The annual silver production can match the annual income of the Ming Dynasty. This... is too powerful, and it is too unexpected to the ministers. People at that time must not know this kind of news. Even the Japanese themselves may not be clear, but time travelers are different. They are very clear about these.

The ministers underground looked stupid and obsessed with money. Even the guards on one side looked like Harry was returning. They were completely shocked by the wealth of Japan.

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask if the news of Your Majesty is reliable? Didn't you lie to me? How could the Japanese be so rich? I don't believe it." A minister felt that this was impossible. A small island country dug out gold and silver from the mountains every year that was comparable to that of the Ming Dynasty. This is a bit exaggerated.

Yang Jing was preparing to educate the minister. Unexpectedly, there was a minister on the other hand, shook his head and sighed, "Sir, this should be true. According to records, during the reign of Taizu, I went to Japan to envoys. It is recorded that I once saw a Golden Pavilion Temple in Japan. It is said that this Golden Pavilion Temple has three floors, wrapped in gold foil inside and outside. I originally thought it was made by the Japanese people for their face, regardless of national strength. Now it seems that the Kingdom of Gold Mountain and the Kingdom of Silver Mountain are well-known!" After the minister finished speaking, he also threw away the gold coins in his hand. This time, the gold coins that the Japan itself cast on his own touched the minister.

"ah!……"

"Well!……"

A group of ministers took a breath again. It seems that the strength of this country is far higher than expected!

Yang Jingwei is very happy, but someone is still talking to him!

"I didn't believe it was true before, but after compiling these news, seeing these gold coins, I believe that the Japanese are indeed rich. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a small island country to send hundreds of thousands of troops to cross the sea to expedition. If you don't have money, who would believe it? Last time I went to our vassal state, this time, I have been recuperating for several years. I guess my strength has been restored and I may be able to land at any location in our dynasty at any time... I am very worried that I will face several provinces in the southeast, thinking a hundred years ago,

With dozens of people and a small boat, these Japanese pirates can rampage our provinces and kill countless soldiers and civilians. What if the Japanese pirates choose to land in the wealthy southeastern provinces of our dynasty then? Whenever I think of this, I feel like I am standing at the tip of a needle!..." Yang Jing used this Japan as a target and tried his best to fool these ministers. He vigorously depicted the scene of the Japanese pirate army landing in the wealthy southeastern part of the Ming Dynasty, which scared many elites from the southeastern to their faces.

"Report to Your Majesty, I believe Your Majesty, I believe that the Japanese are indeed rich, I believe that they are always peeking at my orthodox China. Your Majesty, it is time to prepare, otherwise, the trouble of the Japanese pirates will not be far away, and the trouble of the Japanese pirates will definitely come back..." A minister summarized the emperor's "deception" and came to an astonishing conclusion. The emperor was telling the fact that the Japanese were about to defeat their hometown. Not preparing yet? Waiting to die? He could no longer care about the struggle between civil officials and eunuchs, and began to care about the safety of his hometown.

At first, the old minister who was preparing to threaten Yang Jing to stop building ships with death also came out and wiped his tears tremblingly, saying, "Your Majesty! I am guilty, I am guilty!... I shouldn't be so rude to Your Majesty. I wonder how much thought and effort your Majesty has put into my Ming Dynasty. The old minister is still blaming Your Majesty for playing and not doing his job properly. It is really not. The old minister blamed Your Majesty for wrongly blaming Your Majesty for being a mistake! Your Majesty... I am guilty of death, death! I ask Your Majesty for punishing you. This Japanese man is hateful. You should be careful. You should build more warships and kill Japan.

Ah..." This old minister, after hearing what the emperor said, saw the real thing in front of him, and listened to the historical information that others had said. Based on the legends of Japan that he had heard before, he also concluded that the Japanese were rich and rich, so he could be ready to land in the Ming Dynasty and prepare to go ashore. He immediately turned the gun and asked the emperor to deal with the Japanese. Speaking of which, the rise of this eunuch may be when, the disaster of the Japanese was right in front of him! The Japanese pirates had swept across several southeastern provinces before and killed countless gentry. If the army came again, wouldn't it be...

"Report to Your Majesty, Your Majesty should build large ships and warships as soon as possible, and beware of Japanese people..."

"Report to Your Majesty, I also think that the strength of the guards along the coast should be strengthened, and the money that should be allocated should be allocated should be allocated as much as possible. Those who should build new warships must also be made!..."

"Report to Your Majesty, I like to build a large warship to strengthen our coastal garrison, and defend against the Japanese attacks..."

The ministers changed their original intentions one after another, from the beginning to the desperate opposition to shipbuilding, and now they wish they could build countless warships to defend themselves immediately.

The fundamental reason for the transformation is that the Japanese pirates may have to fight. Their own wealth and life are very important! The dispute between civil officials and eunuchs can be let go.
Chapter completed!
