Chapter 2324 The similarities and differences of the selection of the Guizi volume, the conditional game

  After getting up, Feng Ziying finished washing under the service of Ping'er, and then went to the long room first.

  Shen Yixiu and the others got up early, waiting for Feng Ziying.

Tong Niang rushed forward early, hugged Feng Ziying's neck and called her daddy. Her shattered face was so red that people couldn't help but want to kiss her. After not seeing each other for a few months, Feng Ziying actually cared a little more. The blood connection is really exciting.

  Holding Tongniang in his arms, he went straight out, arrived at Erfang, saw Yingchun's son, An Lang, teased him again, and then walked to Sanfang.

  Miaoyu and Xiuyan gave birth to children only three days apart. Miaoyu gave birth to an older sister and Xiuyan gave birth to a younger brother.

  Forget it, there are four children in this mansion alone, if you count the three children of Wang Xifeng and Busia Mara outside, I can be considered worthy of the Feng family.

  Seven children, four boys and three girls, even if they have three bedrooms, on average, they can get one male heir.

  The only regret is that Shen Yixiu, Xue Baochai, and Lin Daiyu, the three concubines, did not give birth to male heirs. This is probably everyone's biggest regret.

But in Feng Ziying's view, this should be a matter of time. When I come back from Liaodong, I will not go out again in a short time. I go to work during the day, and I can work **** the three women at night. Strive to let the three women get what they want as soon as possible.

  Miaoyu and Xiuyan's children also need to be named. The title of the book is temporarily delayed, but the nickname must be chosen first. After a long time of deliberation, Feng Ziying named Yingniang and Weilang.

Do the math, Shen Yixiu's Tong Niang, Busia Mara's Su Niang, Miao Yu's Ying Niang, Wang Xifeng's Hu Zi, Ying Chun's An Lang, Busia Mara's Ben Lang, now Xiuyan gave birth to Wei Lang, could almost sit at the same table.

It was originally a happy time for the whole family, but it was always interrupted by people. People from the Ministry of War and the cabinet urged Feng Ziying to wait at the gate of the house. Baoxiang and Ruixiang knocked on the door repeatedly. Also came in twice to remind, Feng Ziying had no choice but to lazily go out and go straight to the Ministry of War.

  Wang Wenyan rides with Feng Ziying, and wants to use this time to talk to Feng Ziying about some other recent situations in Beijing.

   "Several families are very noisy, which may have a lot to do with the poor situation of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, but it seems that the court doesn't care much about these,..."

  Wang Wenyan thought while introducing: "I feel, it's just a pure feeling. After the results of the Liaodong War came out, it seemed that the negotiations between the imperial court and Nanjing suddenly accelerated,..."

"In classical Chinese, do you mean that the imperial court wants to reach a compromise with Prince Yizhong?" Feng Ziying was thoughtful, "Before I went to Liaodong, I only knew that the imperial court was negotiating with Nanjing, but the conditions are very different, and everyone is still deadlocked. , Why did the battle situation in Liaodong turn for the better, and the victory felt like the imperial court was going to compromise with Nanjing instead?"

"My lord, the household department can't support it anymore. Haitong Yinzhuang has borrowed more than ten million taels of silver. Now the imperial court has negotiated with Nanjing, but I think it will be half a year later when Jiangnan’s taxes are released to Beijing. When Nanjing fought with the imperial court, it was also Jiangnan who paid the money. In two years, Jiangnan should have been released and handed over to the Ministry of Accounts. Taxes are all used up by Nanjing. That is to say, those who can be released to Beijing this year should have been handed over this year, but what about last year and the year before last? Then they can only be turned into water, and look at the stalemate between Nanjing and the imperial court. , one of the important conditions is that the tax on the Jiangnan side may be reduced, which is also an important factor that cannot reach an agreement."

Wang Wenyan sighed, how long has it been? In more than a year, the imperial court has borrowed more than ten million taels of silver from Haitong Yinzhuang, plus the four million taels of national government bonds issued by the Ministry of Household Affairs. Yinzhuang borrowed 3 million yuan, and also issued 2 million public bonds, which means that the debt of the imperial court is almost 20 million taels of silver.

  For such a large sum of money, the interest alone is more than three million taels per year. Even if the interest is discounted for imperial loans, it is estimated that the annual interest will be twelve, which is two million four hundred thousand taels.

  The key is that in this situation, the imperial court’s taxes, not to mention repayment of principal and interest, cannot be maintained even if the status quo is maintained, and they have to continue to borrow. Perhaps in three to five years, the imperial court’s debts may exceed trillions.

  Wang Wenyan's words made Feng Ziying speechless. A penny can't beat a hero. If the court has no money, everything will come to a standstill, and her theory of borrowing money seems to have not been accepted by the cabinet.

"Then Wenyan, what do you think the court plans to do now?" Feng Ziying felt that Wang Wenyan should have matured a lot after following him for so long. He should not only limit himself to grasping and analyzing information, but should go further and put forward his own views and suggestions.

"My lord, do you think that if Prince Yizhong really succeeds in the Datong, how much impact will it have on our Great Zhou court? I mean, how big will it be compared with one of the several princes, such as King Shou or King Lu?" difference?" Wang Wenyan asked back.

  Wang Wenyan asked this question so well that Feng Ziying couldn't answer it for a while.

  He also thought about how different Prince Yizhong would be from Emperor Yonglong after joining the Datong. Can he return to the power of Emperor Yuanxi in the early days and control the government? Obviously impossible.

The current cabinet is quite stable, Ye Fangqi and Li can be said to cooperate relatively tacitly now, and the ratio of Jiangnan, Beidi and Huguang scholars in the court is also relatively reasonable. Those marginalized Jiangnan scholars such as Tang Binyin, Miao Changqi, Gu Tianjun, and Zhu Guozhen are bound to have an explanation, and this will also become the focus of a game contest.

   Another factor is martial arts.

  From the current point of view, Wu Xun began to be ignored in the later period of Emperor Yuanxi, and Emperor Yonglong continued this strategy. The decline of Wu Xun accelerated, and even in their last base—the army was weakened a lot.

  The two groups of Wu Jinshi and border wealthy families quickly replaced the martial arts nobles and became the mainstream of the army. This is probably the main reason why Niu Jizong and Wang Ziteng joined Prince Yizhong.

  If Prince Yizhong succeeds the Datong, how to deal with the marginalized Jiangnan scholars and the remaining martial arts forces will be a problem.

  In this situation, if Prince Yizhong and King Shou (Lu Wang) succeed to the throne, what will be the difference in policy? How will the imperial court and cabinet view and respond?
