After the Six Ministers, according to the positions of the Secretary of the Secretariat, if anyone else comes, he will sit behind the Six Ministers. Although the Five Supervisors of the Nine Temples are also independent departments directly under the Ming Dynasty, they are somewhat related to the Six Ministers. Moreover, their chief officials are inferior to the Six Ministers in terms of status, not to mention that the people who come today are not fully present, and they are in line with their duties.

Except for the heads of the Six Ministry, Nine Temples, Five Supervisors, the rest just sat behind these people.

The low-level officials brought by the Six Ministry acted as clerks, and in fact they were also students of these chief officials.

The only empty chair here is at the lower head on Chen Xun's side. Shang Lu, the assistant minister of the cabinet, was also at the position between the main seat and the main seat of the six ministries, but Hu Yi was at the lower head on the right, leaving the position on the left and the lower head on the left, which was for Bai Minghe.

As the white-known He walked towards the chair, the white-known Hero did not even blink.

There are countless rumors about his brother in the capital, and Shang Lu also discussed his brother's style of work with him several times. He knew that his brother Bai Minghe had a strong voice in the court, but he never expected that his seat would be higher than his teacher.

This is not a question of my teacher's humility, everyone here is full of big shots.

In fact, it proves that Bai Minghe has the right to speak.

After sitting down, Baiminghe spoke, "Seniors, my white name is far from being apart from my white name. In terms of age, it is normal to call Uncle Uncle. Mr. Hu and Mr. Chen like me, my grandfather is also normal. Today, my white name crane can sit here, which is also a little contribution to the Ming Dynasty. It is also a white name crane that I can take a fancy to all my seniors. Since I am sitting here, I will do my best to do my best."

Bai Minghe’s meaning is very clear. Since I can’t hide, then I will do my best to do my best if you agree with the principles I just mentioned.

"Salt induced and salt tax are 20 million taels a year. At present, I propose that salt be managed by the military. There are three reasons: one is the convenience of military transportation, and the other is that military expenditure will definitely be huge in the future. Third, the annual salt production in Qiongzhou, Guangdong is expected to exceed tens of millions of stones, which means that the salt of the Guangdong military has nearly doubled the salt of the entire Ming Dynasty. Even if the salt affairs are not handed over to the military, ordinary salt affairs can be annexed within three years."

Bai Minghe expressed his thoughts very directly.

Yu Qian also said at this time: "The system of the Ming Dynasty since Taizu was the system of the garrison. The current situation is that the income of the garrison is no longer enough to support the expenditure of military expenditure. It is okay to maintain the number of personnel, but what about the military equipment? Is it because the rich and strong military equipment and the poor and can't even afford to wear military uniforms?"

"Twenty million taels are too much. The Ministry of War costs a charter. How to use the silver? There is a saying that I will support it!" Jin Lian's attitude was very tough.

Yu Qian also said: "The Baiminghe plans to expand the navy ten times within three years and expand the total number of stones in the ship by twenty times. The silver spent is expected to exceed 40 million taels of silver. If the training soldiers and a large number of new artillery are added, the silver spent will not be less than 60 million taels."

"The Navy's expansion?" Jin Lian thought for a moment. Looking at the Baiming He: "Baiming He, why did you expand the Navy?"

"In order to ensure that I will bring back tens of thousands of stones of silver to the Ming Dynasty a year, this junior has a detailed memorial. It can be discussed later. It is just a matter of shipbuilding. I don't know that it should be subject to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works, or the supervision of military weapons. I need a ship, but the transportation capacity is insufficient at present, and a large amount of goods are piled up in the Little Luzon and cannot be transported back. In desperation, I can only set up rough processing in Little Luzon and divide it into some profits for merchants in the Ming Dynasty."

"A businessman set up a shop overseas and must be supervised and reviewed." Although He Wenyuan was not a supervisor, he was in charge of the rules.

Yang Ning also said: "The Ming merchants who act outside the country must be supervised by the Honglu Temple."

"Dear seniors!" Bai Minghe stood up: "There are many details about these things, and the grand ceremony will be held in the next three days. Regardless of the rhythm, it will definitely be directed to the salt tax in the end. Many things are naturally up to date. I, Bai Minghe, are naturally listening to the opinions of all seniors. It is not long before dawn."

Everyone's eyes were staring at Bai Minghe's body.

What Bai Minghe wants to do, there is no need to explain these officials in the officialdom are very clear in their hearts.

What is about to happen now is a reform. Bai Minghe does not intend to participate in this reform. He only thinks about the small piece he is in contact with. This can be said to be a kind of avoidance, but it can also be understood as Bai Minghe does not intend to trap himself in endless meetings of the details of the reform.

"Well, as long as long as you ask about the salt tax, I will take the lead in impeaching. However, I also have a saying that goes before, no matter how it changes, "The Analects of Confucius", "The Rules of Disciples" and "Nine Chapters of Mathematical Science" are compulsory subjects. There must be a difference between scholars and common people. It is not that they recognize words and are scholars, scholars are students, and scholars are scholars. This is the most basic and must not be changed."

Chen Xun took the initiative to express an attitude.

Even if you want to say no, it is impossible for Bai Minghe to say that, because all the officials who are born in the reading of the Analects of Confucius are here.

"The officials thought that although they mainly used the Analects of Confucius, they were also learning the strengths of hundreds of schools. There were many great scholars who only talked about the Analects of Confucius, the South, the North, and the Beijing, and there were also shortcomings.

Bai Minghe picked up the teacup helplessly. The Ming Dynasty conference and the later modern conference suddenly had a huge common point, that is, off-topic. Moreover, when running, a thousand-mile horse ran wildly, it would definitely not be able to pull it back. As for the Analects of Confucius, these people could argue overnight.

Since that's the case, let's take a break and wait for dawn to attend the grand ceremony.

Bai Minghe wanted to go back to sleep, but normal officials, no matter how big or small, mentioned the Analects, it was like injecting chicken blood. Even juniors like Bai Minghe had a chance to speak and spoke out the Analects in their hearts.

I really want to sleep. Bai Minghe rolled his eyes, but saw Chen Xun smiled slightly at him.

Obviously, Chen Xun knew what Bai Minghe was thinking?

I sighed softly, cheered up and continued listening.

Bai Minghe wanted to sleep but couldn't sleep, but Gao Gu could sleep but couldn't sleep at all. Bai Minghe's mansion was brightly lit, and even Yu Shiyue had gone, but Gao Gu was not involved. The notice of the dynasty meeting for three consecutive days had been sent to his hands. What would happen after dawn?

Gao Gu sat alone in the study. No matter who asked for a meeting in his party, Gao Gu chose to refuse.

Bai Minghe came to Beijing for the first time and had a chance to change the prince. It was a small balance, and the interests of each family were sticking to each other. It was hard to say that he had taken advantage of it, but who would suffer?

The Baiming He entered Beijing for the second time, and the layout of Datong Xuanfu showed its power at this time. Gao Gu said the word "convinced" from the bottom of his heart.

This third time I entered the capital, the Chengtian Gate of the Forbidden City was opened. This was a ceremony for the meritorious ministers to return to the capital. However, no officials were allowed to come out to welcome him. Only the Emperor of Ming Dynasty met Bai Minghe in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Then the news came from the palace was that the Nanshufang secretly discussed it for two hours. No one could know what was being discussed.

Even if someone knows it, no one dares to say it, and the one who says it dies.

White-known Crane, White-known Crane, what are you trying to do when you come back this time?

Gao Gu could not think of what would happen after dawn.

At this moment, Gao Gu’s housekeeper knocked on the door gently in front of the study: “Master, there are a few things that I think should be known to the master.”

"Come in and talk!" Gao Gu was still sitting in the darkness.

After the housekeeper came in and saluted, he said, "Master, the city gate to the west was opened just now, and some people were escorted. Cao Jixiang was among them, broke his legs and put them in the cage car to escort the city. There was no man's order to open the city gate. The governors of the five armies were all wearing armor, each battalion was hanging flags, and each of the five armies sent 5,000 people to the east. Each of them had one thousand elites and four thousand baggage."

"There is another thing. Just now, the British Duke's Mansion was hanging the flag, and the generals had already gone to the British Mansion overnight. The Ministry of War was holding lights at night, but the Minister of War Yu Qian was not here, and no one knew whether he had returned to the capital. The camps between the imperial guards and the Jinyiwei seemed to be being mobilized. But it was not something that the old slave could find out."

After saying that, Gao Gu's housekeeper bowed and stood aside.

The more Gao Gu heard it, the more shocked he became, and the more he didn't understand what he was going to do?

At present, there is no one causing trouble, and there are no foreign enemies. The Supreme Emperor is still under house arrest in Nangong. The forces that are being mobilized by Yu Qian, the British Duke's Mansion, the Royal Imperial Guards, the Jinyiwei, and the East Factory seem to be not in a state of hostility, but are cooperating with each other.

It can be said that 99% of the armed forces of the Ming Dynasty's capital were mobilized.

A few people who were not very obedient, such as Cao Jixiang broke his leg and took him back to Beijing, who would dare to resist at all?

This is going to make a move, but who is the sword tip pointing?

Gao Gu felt a deep chill in his heart. Was it targeting himself or his own party?

It was already deep winter, but Gao Gu felt a drop of sweat slipping off his forehead. Speaking of Lao Chaozi, Gao Gu was similar to Hu Yi, and in addition, Jianwen could also be called the elder of the Six Dynasties. With his status, he would not die without a crime of treason, but Gao Gu cares about reputation, and reputation is more important than life.

In the palace, Emperor Ming Dynasty Zhu Qiyu did not sleep, and sat in the study.

The ones kneeling in front of him were Hang Yu, Wang Quan, and Wang Ying. These two were the Jinwu Guard, the royal army. The other was the commander of the Jinwu Guard, the royal imperial guard. Wang Ying was not as powerful as these two. He was just the commander of the inner city military commander. The army responsible for public security in the capital city.

During the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, there were twelve guards in total, and Chengzu added ten guards, and in Xuande, there were four guards, totaling twenty-six guards. During the Tumu Fort Incident, the twenty-six guards suffered a huge loss, and several of them could have completely disappeared.

When the battle of defense of the capital was later transferred to the Ministry of War to fight against the enemy.

After the war, because most of them were in name only, except for the personal army Jinyiwei, the Tengxiang left and right guards, Wuxiang left and right guards, and the forbidden palace guards, the left and right guards of Jinwu Guards, the other twenty guards had already joined the Governor's Office of the Five Army. There were also some remaining people who were incorporated into the inner city military commander and guarded the capital.

Cao Jixiang was the commander of Tengxiang's left guard, and he had broken his legs and was taken back to the capital.

"Long live, except for the East Factory, all the guards and departments in the capital have been on standby!" Jin Ying came back and stood at the door of the study and reported: "The East Factory has not been transferred, because the East Factory was ordered by Bai Minghe, and is preparing to go to Tianjin to transport silver carts at dawn!" (To be continued...)
