If the Ming Empire continued to sleep, then it would continue to sink!
"Your Majesty, what do you think of this humble subject's memorial?
"If the Ministry of Revenue has difficulties with one million taels of silver, then…"
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Zaihou waved his hand and cut off Qi Jiguang's words.
"How can one million taels be enough? Qi Jiguang, I'll give you five million taels!
"From today onwards, I will leave the rebuilding of the Great Ming Navy to you!”
"If you want silver, craftsmen, and commoners, I will satisfy you one by one!”
"Your Majesty is wise! I prostrate myself on the ground!"
Qi Jiguang was so touched that his eyes were wet.
He thought that Tian Zi would cut his budget, but he didn't expect to increase it to five million silver.
If he, Qi Jiguang, couldn't revive the Ming Navy, how could he face His Majesty?
The Emperor's trust directly made Qi Jiguang tremble with excitement.
Looking at the grateful Qi Jiguang, Zhu Hou said indifferently,"
"Qi Jiguang, zhen has high expectations for you.”
"Not only do you have to deal with the east, but if there are any changes in the northern grasslands, you have to lead your subordinates to directly kill those Tartar barbarians.”
"I hope that you can use the roar of artillery fire to tell those barbarians that the wrath of the heavens is the fire of hell!
Zhu Zaihou's words made Qi Jiguang's blood boil.
A real man stands between heaven and earth to share the worries of the monarch.
How magnificent and intense it was to make contributions, bequeath wives and children, and expand the territory for tens of thousands of miles!
Qi Jiguang bowed and said,"
"This lowly subject will never dare to go against Your Majesty's great trust. If this lowly subject can't do it, then I'll bring my head to see you!
After Qi Jiguang returned to the Ministry of War, he ordered his personal soldiers to attack Tanggu Port.
With five million taels of silver in hand, he could finally display his skills and build the Ming Navy's invincible fleet!
It was all because of the vigorous anti-corruption campaign that was being carried out throughout the empire these days.
These tens of millions of taels of silver were forcefully snatched from those great rats!
It was easier to do things with money.
Zhu Zaihou was in a good mood as the national treasury was filled every day.
Some of the haze from when he had just ascended the throne was swept away!
Zhu Zaihou had slowly activated all the industries in the Ming Empire.
The business of the empire was no longer the stagnant pond of water it used to be.
The status of the merchants would be raised, and their reasonable and legal power would be guaranteed.
Before this, the social status of merchants was even lower than that of brothels in the Education Bureau…
To revitalize the entire society, merchants and commerce had to be opened up.
It also allowed the surplus labor in the countryside to come to the cities and participate in commercial activities.
After a period of various reforms, the silver in the Ming Empire's national treasury was now.
There was already an unprecedented 56 million taels.
However, after Zhu Zaihou's thunderous G Storm…
Many officials stopped. Once they were honest, they would occupy the moral high ground.
Xu Jie was the most obvious example.
These days, those officials were not interested in Xu Jie's recent limelight.

The autumn wind blew.
After the autumn harvest, a long autumn rain began to fall in the north and south.
According to the climate in the north, the autumn rain would soon stop and winter would arrive.
However, they would also welcome the looting army of the Tartars.
This possibility was extremely high.
Snow fell in August in the northern desert!
They liked to go south to rob. To them, the people of Ming Dynasty were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Zhu Zaihou naturally understood all of this.
Half a month ago, he had mobilized 500,000 soldiers from the south to the north to strengthen the defenses of the nine border towns in the north.
Especially Da Tong, this military town.
The cavalry of the Tartars gathered at the city, and the capital was in danger.
As for how many people they wanted to gather and what they wanted to do, they still had to wait for the follow-up reconnaissance.
Apart from the Tartars in the north, Zhu Zaihou was also paying close attention to Liaodong.
Now in Liaodong, the Jianzhou Jurchen had already become something.
Among them, the Yeh Nala tribe was the strongest and also the most opposed to the Ming Dynasty.
During the Jiajing period, the empire had sent troops to clear the area twice.
However, after only two years, there were signs of unrest.
After the Jurchen of Jianzhou annexed the other small tribes of the non-humankind.
The number of people had already rapidly expanded to 600,000, and the population under their control had already reached more than a million...
It was urgent for the empire to reorganize its military!
Zhu Zaihou would not let the wild boar skin of White Mountain and Black Water have any chance to question the Central Plains.
He had to strike first!
He would kill the wild boar skins 'ambitions in the cradle.
