To solve the problem of my brother-in-law's diet.
It can be considered a preference.
And after Song Youwei heard this.
I was immediately delighted.
What worries her now is her younger brother.
Even though his country was destroyed in one battle and he was now awarded the title of Marquis of Champion, he was still just a child in Song Youwei's eyes.
The other party has a rebellious character and very eccentric ideas. Even if his father gave him instructions before he left, who knows what he will do?
Now that she saw His Majesty's concern, she felt relieved.
As for Wei Yunyi, he didn't say much about it.
After lunch, he left directly and went to the alchemy room.
Now the Hunyuan Pill was about to be successfully refined. Although the Little Heavenly Master was watching, he still had to pay more attention. Of course, he had another purpose in going to the pill factory.
It is to discuss with the young Taoist priest about the refining of the next elixir after breaking through the fifth level of martial arts.
This is related to my own martial arts skills and whether I can progress as quickly as before.
...
At night, the stars are shining and the moonlight is bright.
At this moment, in a hidden street in the west of the capital.
It is still the small courtyard full of green bamboo.
Song Gongwen and Zhang Zhengming sat opposite each other, both drinking tea.
The difference was that the current Grand Tutor's face was filled with smiles. Perhaps it was because of the recent successive good things that had happened in the court, such as Song Hongzhi's annihilation of a kingdom in one battle, and the Divine Martial Marquis's complete resistance to the grassland army's attack in the northern border.
In the coastal areas, Zhao Jiguang also made great achievements, destroying 50,000 to 60,000 pirates and restoring peace to the people in the coastal areas.
All these things indicate that the Wei Dynasty is developing in a positive direction.
He had a premonition that if things continued like this, it might not last long.
The Great Wei will usher in a true era of prosperity.
Now, it depends on whether Chen Xuance can achieve his goal during his mission to Tiandu.
There is also the war in the north, which I hope will come to an end in a few months.
There was no way. This time, the grassland had assembled an army of 200,000, and a war like this would take at least several months and at most a year and a half to complete.
However, Zhang Zhengming had great faith in Marquis Shenwu, knowing that with the old marquis in the north, nothing would go wrong.
In his heart, he has always wanted to assist the current emperor and create a prosperous era.
Now we are not far away from this dream.
Naturally happy.
But Song Gongwen, who was sitting opposite him, had a worried look on his face.
There was no other way. As the Minister of Revenue, he was in charge of all the money in the world. No matter where silver was needed, it had to go through the Ministry of Revenue.
In recent times, the court has needed money in so many places, including the northern border, two major projects, repairs to the Longhu Mountain Taoist gate, and some other scattered places.
Now, Your Majesty is going to allocate funds to the navy to build new warships, which is another huge amount of money.
Even though Song Gongwen was good at managing finances, he used many methods to increase the court's income.
But in the end, the expenses were still not enough to cover the income.
This Minister of Revenue.
It’s really hard to be that person.
"Gongwen, are you still thinking about the money?" At this time, Zhang Zhengming seemed to see what the other party was thinking and immediately smiled.
Hearing this, Song Gongwen nodded, but quickly said, "The silver issue is nothing. I recently received a personal letter from Sun Kejian saying that the border trade has been basically established."
"Many aristocratic families in the Northern Territory and Yan are ready to join in the trade. The Ministry of Revenue's initial investment of 500,000 taels has not only paid back its investment, but has also made a significant profit."
"Now that the mutual trade has been established and all the noble families are participating, all the court needs to do is collect some commercial taxes."
At this point, a slight smile appeared on his face, and he continued, "So the Ministry of Revenue can afford the silver for the navy."
Sun Kejian, the Empress Dowager's cousin, had been away from the capital for some time.
There has been no news from him during this period.
This is because this person has been concentrating on planning matters related to border trade, and now things have gotten on the right track.
In the future, when everything is completed and the whole country is involved, the income from that money will be the bulk.
As for the imperial court, it only needed to maintain the operation of the mutual trade and collect commercial taxes.
When nothing major happens, you pretty much just sit back and collect the money.
"oh?"
Hearing this, Zhang Zhengming couldn't help but feel a little strange. He said, "Since the money issue has been settled, why are you still worrying about the official documents?"
He knew that this student was very capable. When the Ministry of Revenue's tax revenue ran out, he was able to find ways to save money, thus taking out a sum of money to repair Longhu Mountain and build ships for the navy.
And it happened in a very short period of time, which is definitely amazing.
Because even if it were me, I would probably have a huge headache.
But the other party could do this very well.
Zhang Zhengming was very pleased.
But it seems that there are other things to worry about.
Song Gongwen naturally didn't dare to hide it and said directly, "Teacher, you know, although we have managed to get this money temporarily, it is only an emergency measure. The two most expensive projects, the canal and the straight road, have already started and are on track."
"Two days ago, Brother Ying Xing said that these two projects would take at least several years to complete."
