The court discussion didn't last long before it was interrupted by a letter of credentials.
When the cabinet, the six ministries, and even Zhu Youtang heard that the King of North Korea was scared to death, everyone was dumbfounded.
However, everyone did not seem to mind.
Zhu Youtang did not continue to explain the specific details of the counter fire.
"The British government can find a place to test it.”
"This old subject obeys."
Zhu Youtang then said to Liu Daxia,"Your Ministry of War will cooperate with the United Kingdom Duke and transfer 100,000 soldiers from Turpan Wei and Hami Wei to the south of Wusizang Dusi."”
"This lowly subject obeys the decree!"
Zhu Youtang continued,"Let the Guangxi Military Department follow the wishes of the British Duke and block the path of the Wu Si Zang Military Department to the south."”
"Yes!"
After everything was done.
"Your Majesty, I have written a detailed regulation for the construction of the bank," Li Mincai said.”
Zhu Youtang took Li Min's book and looked at it carefully for a long time.
The so-called bank was the prototype of a bank.
Zhu Youtang wanted to build a national savings bank in the Ming Dynasty to deal with the situation where taxes were not collected and the national treasury was insufficient.
"Yes."
Zhu Youtang nodded repeatedly.
The efficiency of the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Revenue and cabinet satisfied Zhu Youtang. The establishment of the bank and the various specifications were infinitely close to the banks of the future.
"How many banks do you want to set up?"
Zhu Youtang asked.
Li Min replied," I've thought about it for a long time. I need to set up about 300 institutions in the 13 provinces of the two capitals and the various prefectures and counties to make it convenient for the people to store it.”
The 300 banks included almost all of the prefecture-level administrative units of Ming Dynasty.
It was reasonable to set up so many first.
"How much budget do you need?"
"I plan to set up the bank near the yamen of each state capital to ensure safety and save military expenses at the same time," Li Min said.”
"A single house, official, etc. will cost a total of three million taels of silver.”
"Correct." Zhu Youtang nodded.
"Your Ministry of Rites will publicize the matter of the bank among the people. The people are always afraid of unfamiliar things.”
The Minister of Rites, Zhou Hongmo, hurriedly said,""Your humble subject obeys."
Zhu Youtang waved his hand." I'm tired. Today's court discussion will be like this."”
The ministers took their leave.
This was the first time that Zhang Mao witnessed the operation of the Ming Dynasty's national machine.
At the same time, there was also some shock and admiration.
The little Emperor was already able to handle political affairs with ease, and he had done everything perfectly.
Hongzhi's rejuvenation is coming!
Zhang Mao didn't dare to stay in the Warm Pavilion. He cupped his hands with the six departments of the cabinet and went to the Five Armies Governor's Office.
The Emperor had already given his authority to Zhang Mao, so he naturally had the authority to mobilize the five armies.
……
Ox-Head Mountain.
It was located in a mountainous area near the outskirts of Bei Zhi Li.
There were few people.
This was a mountain forest.
The officers and soldiers of the five armies had already surrounded the place.
Zhang Mao ordered the soldiers to cut down an empty space according to the emperor's instructions.
The soldiers raised their torches and waited in formation.
The cabinet and the six departments had also arrived.
Everyone wanted to verify whether Zhu Youtang's theory of the counter current firing was really that amazing.
Zhang Mao's heart was pounding. He narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said sternly,""Set fire!"
Whoosh!
A moment later, the dry forest was quickly set ablaze.
Black smoke soared into the sky, and the red light burned people's faces until they turned red.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the fire began to spread to the surroundings at a terrifying speed.
Zhang Mao clenched his fists and looked at the fire. He shouted at the soldiers,""Quick, light the fire!"
"Go to the front of the fire and light another fire. There must be no mistakes.”
The army obeyed.
In front of the fire.
Another small fire gradually began to rise from the ground. The dead leaves caught the branches and burned. The fire grew bigger and bigger.
Zhang Mao and the officials of the six departments held their breaths and stared ahead with their fists clenched.
At this moment, Zhang Mao's heart was in his throat.
Whether we can send troops to Annan depends on this move!
Liu Jian and the others 'palms started to sweat as they swallowed hard.
"Look, that small fire is getting bigger and bigger!”
"It's over! It's over!"
"Look, look!"
Whoosh!
The flames soared into the sky. After a moment, the two flames were instantly attracted together.
An unprecedented grand occasion ensued.
The fire that was spreading to the surroundings seemed to have been sucked in by something and no longer surged to the surroundings.
In an instant.
The surrounding flames instantly surged into the sea of fire.
When the two flames met, it was like a wild beast that had just been released from its cage, charging towards its prey.
After the two fires converged, they rushed toward the clearing that Zhang Mao had cut down beforehand at an extremely fast speed.
"F * ck!"
"Motherf * cker!"
"F * ck!"
The civil officials of the cabinet and the six ministries rarely used vulgarities, but they blurted it out at this moment, and their eyeballs almost popped out.
He had never seen such a shocking scene in his life.
Zhang Mao also jumped up and exclaimed,""This…this…how is this possible!”
He suddenly realized that the flames that were about to spread to the surroundings were all heading in the same direction.
The surrounding forest seemed to have a huge repulsive force, and the flames refused to spread.
What replaced it was-
After the two flames converged, they both headed toward the open space.
The sparks around them became smaller and smaller.
When the fire rushed to the open space, it seemed to have lost its direction and began to spin on the spot.
There was nothing flammable there. If nothing unexpected happened, the fire would become smaller and smaller until it was extinguished in the time it takes an incense stick to burn.
"What the f * ck!"
"A miracle!"
"What a fucking miracle!"
"The Greater World is full of wonders!"
Zhang Mao peed his pants.
The knowledge he had in his life was completely refreshed this time.
Fighting fire with fire…
This was f * cking ridiculous!
Liu Jian stood rooted to the ground for a long time, his jaw almost dropping and his face pale.
His body was trembling slightly.
Excitement, complexity, excitement…all sorts of emotions were mixed together, so much so that his face began to look a little deformed.
Li Dongyang muttered to himself,"What a miracle!" What a miracle!"
"I've seen it!"
Xie Qian gulped." This old man thought that he was knowledgeable and had read a book. Only now did this old man understand that compared to the Emperor…Hehe, this old man is inferior!"”
"I can't compare!"
The six officials looked at the unprecedented scene before them and fell into deep thought.
No matter how long they thought about it, it was impossible for them to understand this logic.
This went against the conventional understanding of the people.
Fighting fire with fire…
It was ridiculous to the extreme!
It was truly a miracle!
He looked at the fire that was getting smaller and smaller in front of him.
The others looked at each other in dismay.
When the two fires started to burn, everyone thought that the Emperor's theory might be wrong.
However, when such a heaven-defying method was used to extinguish the fire, a miracle really appeared in front of everyone. Everyone was stunned.
Was this the wisdom of an emperor?
Zhang Mao's eyes lit up and his hands hung down."Annan Chieftain! This old man shall see what kind of heavenly ravine can protect you all this time!”
"You want to seize my Great Ming territory? Ask the blade in my hand if it agrees!”
