Regarding the matter of Beijing, Sun Jiagan, He Xianzu and Zeng Yishu did not speak, but obviously they were just using soy sauce.

But this is normal. After all, the three of them have no say in this matter, not only because they are just walking on military aircraft, but more importantly, the first two of them can be said to be pure civil servants, and Zeng Yishu is the weakest among the people. In addition, his position is the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, so it is inconvenient to speak on military issues.

However, Zeng Yishu could not be silent about the strategic deployment of Ma Gongcheng's department. After all, the logistical pressure required for such a large strategic goal is extremely great. Although the Ming Dynasty's national strength is extremely strong now, it is necessary to prepare and support the comprehensive plan that lasts for so long, and the Ministry of Revenue is under great pressure.

Wang Fan is now in Nanjing, so it is actually Zeng Yishu who is in charge of the daily work of the Ministry of Revenue in Beijing. To be honest, Zeng Yishu was born as a Jinshi. He took the Jinshi class at that time, but not a clear calculation. As a sage book, he knew nothing about the economy.

However, after Zeng Yishu served as the Secretary of Military Machinery, he usually sat in the Military Machinery Office and spent a long time with the Minister of Military Machinery, especially when he was working on military machine affairs on behalf of military machine, he gradually learned a lot. Another important reason is that his friend and brother-in-law Huang Luzhuang has close contacts on weekdays and has learned a lot of truths that were not found in books from Huang Luzhuang.

Compared with other scholars, Zeng Yishu was not a nerd who was studying hard, otherwise he would not have become friends with people like Huang Luzhuang. This is true, coupled with the current business atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty, Zeng Yishu had long understood that it was impossible to be a capable minister just by reading a few books of sages, especially when an official reaches a certain level, the issues and judgment abilities he considered must be comprehensive, including the economic path.

It is precisely this way that Zeng Yishu was close to Wang Fan when he was in the Military Affairs Office, and he also learned a lot of economics from Wang Fan. This is also the main reason why Zhu Yicheng later planned to reuse Zeng Yishu and promoted him to the Right Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

After Zhuang Yan finished speaking, Zeng Yishu began to report on the preparations for materials and a series of subsequent preparation plans. He has been training in the Military Affairs Office for so many years, and his report was well organized and well prepared. Zeng Yishu only mentioned some financial issues, because he knew very well that this battle must be fought. Although the court's financial resources would be a little tight because of this battle, it would definitely not affect the overall deployment.

Besides, with the capture of Luzon, the Ming Dynasty had almost controlled the entire South China Sea. Now the Ming Navy has prepared to capture Johor as planned. As long as Johor is captured, the South China Sea will become the back garden of the Ming Dynasty, which is extremely beneficial to the leap and profits of the Ming Dynasty's sea trade.

Because of these reasons, even if there is a short period of economic pressure, the Ministry of Revenue can solve it, so it is unwise to complain in front of Zhu Yicheng at this time. The clever Zeng Yishu only mentioned a few words, and then turned the topic to other aspects. As he told, everyone present sighed in their hearts.

"Young people are so terrifying!" With half-squinted eyes, Liao Huanzhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Zeng Yishu was naturally familiar with him. After all, he had been serving as the Secretary of the Military Affairs Office for so many years, and had also worked under Liao Huanzhi for so long.

Originally, Liao Huanzhi thought Zeng Yishu was a talented person, but he did not expect that this young man would be promoted to such a high level by Zhu Yicheng in just a few years. He had to admit that Zhu Yicheng's extraordinary vision could show Zeng Yishu's extraordinaryness, and even more impressed by Zhu Yicheng's arrangement of Zeng Yishu as the successor to the Military Affairs Office later.

Compared to others, Liao Huanzhi is the oldest and is also the oldest in addition to Dong Dashan. He has been the chief military aircraft of the Ming Dynasty as a seventh-rank magistrate at that time, and can be said to be a position as a minister. With the arrival of his term, Liao Huanzhi no longer has any enterprising spirit in his heart. He just wants to retreat peacefully and then get a position as a third division to live a peaceful life.

As for the issue of title, Liao Huanzhi was not worried at all. With his status, a duke would not be able to escape steadily. In fact, this is not only for him, but also for the whole court.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Liao Huanzhi has become more and more stable in his work in the past two years, but his vision and scheming are there. He can see many things clearly, but he doesn't just say them.

Zhu Yicheng knew this in his heart that the monarch and ministers were tacit in private and just waited for the Military Affairs Office to hand over safely.

"Is there any problem with the Ministry of Revenue's finance now?" Zhu Yicheng asked after hearing this.

Zeng Yishu didn't mention it much just now, but Zhu Yicheng had to ask whether the finances of a country are good as emperor is extremely important. Moreover, although the Ming Dynasty has not been completely pacified in the country, it has been continuously expanding its territory overseas. In terms of land area, the Ming Dynasty's territory is far greater than before.

"Return to the emperor, since Luzon took it, the southeast coastal trade in the Ming Dynasty has increased significantly. According to statistics from local maritime departments, its tax revenue will increase by at least 40% by the end of the year. With such a large amount of income, even if it is not good, it can pass. Moreover, the Ministry of Revenue has been prepared to issue bonds. However, according to my opinion, it does not make much sense to issue bonds or not."

"Oh, how many bonds were originally planned to be issued by the Ministry of Revenue?" Zhu Yicheng didn't know about this before, and he immediately asked with interest after hearing Zeng Yishu's speech.

"It's only 30 million." Zeng Yishu said calmly: "But I think it's better not to issue these 30 million bonds. Now the funds from the Ministry of Revenue can basically be supported until the end of the year, and after the end of the year, the tax payments will naturally be collected. Furthermore, if there is no way, there is a slight gap, you can also borrow short-term loans from the Royal Bank, so I just have to do something unprepared for this bond, so I have not reported it to the Emperor before."

Hearing this sentence, Zhu Yicheng couldn't help but laugh. Zeng Yishu said so lightly that this matter would have been impossible if it were many years ago.

You should know that Zhu Yicheng forced Wang Fan to be frustrated because of financial problems. Wang Fan was so anxious that he almost jumped into the Yangtze River for millions of silver.

But now, after only a few years, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty has reached an unthinkable level. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty’s restoration, the annual income of the Ming Dynasty through the opening of maritime trade was 30 million taels of silver and 40 million yuan.

After that, the Ming Dynasty's finances rose year by year, from 40 million to 60 million...80 million...100 million...140 million.
