Chapter 19 The next one is the Royal Horse Supervisor
Zhu Houzhao said and looked at Liu Jin and the eight tigers.
Liu Jin and the Eight Tigers were also eager to look at Zhu Houzhao. Since the Minister of War Liu Daxia was successfully bombed to death, they are now becoming more and more convinced of the ability of Emperor Zhu Houzhao.
And the goal of defeating Zhang Zhao, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison, is also a matter that makes them even more excited.
Because the bombing of the Minister of War was just to make another civil servant profit, it was equivalent to making wedding dresses for others. Now if Zhang Zhao, the chief seal of the Imperial Horse, would mean that he could replace himself and become a powerful eunuch!
The inner court of the Ming Dynasty was divided into twenty-four yamen, namely the twelve supervisors and the fourth department and the eight bureaus.
The Imperial Horse Supervisor is a key department second only to the Sili Supervisor. It is specialized in the military talismans of the Imperial Stables, and even the Imperial Horse Supervisor is the direct yamen that commands the imperial guards.
The so-called imperial guards are the Fourth Guards and the Warriors Battalion, the army of the Guards, and together with the 12th Regiment Battalion Battalion, the military system of the capital city is formed.
In addition, the eunuchs in the 12th Regiment of the Admiral were often eunuchs in the Imperial Horse Prison.
It can be seen that the eunuchs of the Imperial Horse Prison have the temptation of the eunuchs in the inner court as the Minister of War to the civil servants in the outer court.
Zhang Zhao, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse supervisor, is the eunuch in the 12th Regiment of the Admiral, and is also the actual leader of the imperial guards.
Based on his memory, Zhu Houzhao only knew that Zhang Zhao and Zhang Yu had a close relationship, and they were also promoted by their ancestor Wang Yue. Therefore, Zhu Houzhao naturally pointed the gun at Zhang Zhao now.
At this time, Liu Jin only said: "Your Majesty, are we going to blow up Zhang Zhao, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horses, to death?"
"The eunuch Zhang Zhao, the chief eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, is very honest now. He never leaves the palace. The palace ban is strictly controlled. And now he has just blown up to death. The investigation is very strict. It is impossible to bomb again again." Gao Feng, who is specializing in investigating the imperial guards of the palace, said at this time.
Zhu Houzhao nodded: "This time, I don't need to deal with Zhang Zhao, but I have to create a fake murder case, and it's a murder! Gu Dayong, you are responsible for this matter this time. Be sure to play a good show for our ancestor Wang and Eunuch Wang, the ancestor of the Silijian. Liu Jin will cooperate with Gu Dayong at that time! This is the specific way."
As Zhu Houzhao said that, he pulled Liu Jin and Gu Dayong over and whispered a few words.
Then, Gu Dayong nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do this!"
Here, Liu Jin nodded: "I will definitely follow His Majesty's arrangements at that time!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded, then looked at Gao Feng, Zhang Yong and others who were responsible for investigating the internal situation of the army: "What is the morale of the army now? How many heroes and generals are willing to join the Zhongjun Society?"
"Report to Your Majesty, the commander of the regiment battalion, Zhang Mao, Xia Ming, and Li Tang, the young prisoner of the camp, all commanders Tian Zhong, Gui Yong and others intend to join the Zhongjun Society. Zhang Zhao is now only giving food to the military guards in the military office with good relationships. Now, the imperial guards and the military officers who are unwilling to make friends with him and the soldiers of the regiment battalion, all owed two months to Lu Mi. They are very resentful."
Zhang Yong replied at this time.
"Li Chun, the eunuch of the military supervisor of the Four Guards Camp, Zhang Hong, Jia Jian, Li Long and others intend to join the Zhongjun Society. Like Zhang Yong, the Four Guards Camp and the Warriors Camp have owed Lumi for one month now!"
Gao Feng replied.
Zhu Houzhao knew that the circulation of silver was not large now, and the court paid the officers and soldiers mostly in physical goods such as food, cloth, etc. Of course, there were also treasure money, just like the future silver payment.
But after hearing Zhang Yong and Gao Feng's talk, Zhu Houzhao was quite surprised. The court owed the salary of rice, especially the Beijing camp, which was a common phenomenon in the financial difficulties of the dynasty, such as the salary of all officials, not to mention the salary of military soldiers.
But what Zhu Houzhao didn't understand was that it was the 18th year of Hongzhi that had just ended in the era of Zhongzhi! The Ming Dynasty in the era of Zhongzhi could not even afford the Lumi of the officers and soldiers? Is the imperial finance really so poor?
In this way, no wonder the military was deflated, which made the little Tartar prince make a big fuss in the border town as if he was going back to his own home. The court did not give money to the soldiers, so why should people work hard?
But no matter what, Zhu Houzhao knew that this was a good opportunity to subdue the morale of the army and regain military power. He decided that the emperor would take the initiative to ask for the soldiers who guarded the capital and the palace for the Ming Dynasty.
The military was distributed to the Ministry of War. Now the Minister of War Xu Jin is a reserve member of his Zhongjun Society. Zhu Houzhao can also interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of War, so he decisively ordered Liu Jin: "Liu Jin, go and ask the Minister of War Xu Jin, when will the Lumi be owe to these soldiers who guarded the capital and the palace in the Ming Dynasty?"
Liu Jin took Zhu Houzhao's order to the Ministry of War, and the other seven tigers retreated one after another.
Zhu Houzhao began to think about how to use the problem of lack of money and mi to achieve his goal of controlling the army.
Xu Jin, the Minister of War, has put his seat first and is eager to reorganize the Ministry of War, when Liu Jin came, he saw him: "Did Eunuch Liu bring the organization?"
"That's right, the organization hopes that you can help Your Majesty conquer the morale of the army and defeat Zhang Zhao, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horses. Because of this, Your Majesty also issued an oral order to ask me to ask you, when will the Ministry of War owes Lu Mi that the officers and soldiers be owed?" Liu Jin asked.
Xu Jin, Minister of War, sighed and explained: "Please tell Your Majesty and the organization that it is not that the Wei Me, I am unwilling to give you rice, but that the Wei Me, I have no money to pay. The Ministry of Revenue said that the money for the Qianqing Palace and the Emperor of Daxing has not been raised yet. Your Majesty still has to spend money on his wedding. Our Ministry of War can only wait. In short, the court has no money!"
After listening to Xu Jin's explanation, Liu Jin informed Zhu Houzhao of Xu Jin's original words. Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing: "Tell Xu Jin that the Ministry of Revenue cannot afford to pay the money, so I will leave this matter to me. Isn't it just 200,000 taels of silver? It's worth being so poor?"
As he said that, Zhu Houzhao asked Wei Bin again: "How much money has Royal Industries earned now?"
"Your Majesty, it's tens of thousands of taels. Now the order volume has dropped, and the growth has slowed down," Wei Bin replied.
Zhu Houzhao nodded. Tens of thousands of taels were already a huge sum of money for ordinary people. Moreover, silver has not depreciated yet, but it is indeed a little less for the emperor Zhu Houzhao. He didn't want to move the deposit of the Royal Industrial Experimental Base. After all, he had to rely on this amount of money to support the development of his industrial foundation in the Ming Dynasty.
What's more, the money was collected by the "Eight Tigers" around him, and the purpose was not to spend it to make money. Zhu Houzhao felt that it was necessary to continue to increase the way to make money. As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he had to change the situation of the Ming Dynasty's shortage of money.
"Qiu Ju, take out all the handicrafts in stock in the Royal Industrial Experimental Base and hand them over to Wei Bin! In addition, Ma Yongcheng and Gu Dayong are now going to the Qipan Street outside Damingmen to pick up a high platform. I will go there to hold a Royal Expo tomorrow! The Expo tomorrow will be hosted by Liu Jin."
