Later, some people called this meeting the Xueye Meeting, some of them called the Great Accounts Meeting, and some of them called the Daming Naval Meeting. In short, this meeting is very important.
One thing that has been selectively forgotten in history is that this meeting was embarrassing when it first started. Because it was the first time that Wei Ming had a meeting with so many officials, he was a little nervous in his heart. If it is in the previous life, it seems that such a high-ranking official can look straight at him, and he can jump up happily in the middle of the night. But now, everyone stared at Tongling's big eyes and looked at himself, making Wei Ming want to lie under the table. Wei Ming, the supreme officer, did not speak, and the others did not dare to speak, staring with wide-eyed eyes.
"Huh huh." Wei Ming cleared his throat. Everyone was excited, thinking what was wrong, but Wei Ming only said one sentence: "Come on, the big guys all talk about your current situation."
Generally speaking, the report from the lower level to the higher level is as if the child and the parent report the same situation. There are only two situations, one is that everything is good, this is good, that is good, there is a voice of praise. This situation basically does not exist now. Because the big guy now knows very well in his heart that Wei Ming is not a fool. The big guys come here to make a career, not here to mix dry food. If you dare to say everything is good, no one would doubt that Wei Ming would let them go to the snow to freeze for a night. Since this situation does not exist, there is only another situation. That means there is a lack of everything, this is also lacking, that is also lacking. Anyway, there is no good place.
"Returning to Master Economics, the shortage of guards in the Guangzhou Navy has reached 76%, and the payment has been in arrears for two months. Soldiers have no combat effectiveness, and seasickness will occur on board. This is a long-term phenomenon. Caused by not training." Wang Zunde was the first to stand up and destroy the atmosphere. With him being the first, others will also have a bottom in their hearts. After Wang Zunde sat down, the governor of Fujian Nan Juyi stood up and said: "Return to Sir Economics, the situation in Fujian is similar to the situation in Guangzhou, with 80% of the staff missing, most of the warships are damaged, and the salary is three. In a few months, the soldiers had no combat effectiveness." Nan Juyi sat down, and Guangxi He Shijin stood up again, and said: "Sir Jingliue, the shortage of personnel in Guangxi is not very serious, but it is also 30%. The most important thing is. The reason is that this year Guangxi’s crop was short, and the soldiers ran away because they couldn’t eat enough. The lower officials have already ordered the main purpose of appeasement, supplemented by arrests. I believe it will be resolved soon."
"Master Economics, deserters should be arrested and brought to justice. Deserters are like treason and should be punished as a typical example." Seeing Wei Ming's sad forehead, Chen Bangzhan threw such an idea to Wei Ming. Chen Bangzhan is right. No matter when it is, it is normal for deserters to be executed.
"The words of Governor Chen are very reasonable. For deserters, we must have strong means. How can an army that has no military discipline go to fight? What to use to fight the enemy? Even the most basic things are lost. What use are they? But killing them can really solve the problem? Not one or two escaped, but most of them. This shows that we have the problem, not the soldiers. .Only by solving our own problems, can we really solve the problem of deserters. Governor Wang, let me ask you, the problem of deserters due to lack of personnel, let’s talk about one problem first, since so many people are already lacking. Now, why is there still such a situation of payment? Well? Come and tell me!"
Wang Zunde's soul was violent, and he was sweating like rain in the cold weather for a while. Several other people have just taken office, at least there is still something to say. What should I say? Having said that, offend most people. If you don't say anything, you offend Wei Ming. As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Now it is to offend no one to offend Wei Ming. People say they want to kill themselves, but they can really kill them.
Say it. Wang Zunde sighed in his heart, and said: "Master Jinglue Rongzhen, things are like this. During the Hongwu and Yongle years at the beginning of the founding of the country, the status of navy was very high. The navy of Chen Youliang, the Han king, was reserved for Taizu. The image was too deep. Therefore, afterwards, we vigorously developed the navy. Later, we wanted to eliminate the overseas rebels and promote the prestige of the country. The three treasures eunuch Zheng He went to the west, which pushed the status of the navy to the top. But then the navy Liu Daxia burned all the precious materials brought back by the navy, and the navy’s military payments were often used for other purposes. Masters of economics, brothers, have had a hard time! As the saying goes, all the birds are good. Gong Zang, the sly rabbit died, and the lackeys cooked. The navy became a dispensable waste, anyone can step on it. The status of the military commander is low, and the status of the navy military commander is even lower. Needless to say, the navy commander has a lower status. I’m embarrassed to say that I’m working in a navy when I go out. The land that was originally used for payment has to be taken over by the dignitaries. What can I do to pay the brothers? The master of the plan is a good example!" Such a big individual. I was crying there while kowtow, and no one would feel comfortable watching it.
"Okay, don't cry, get up." Wei Ming waved his hand to let Wang Zunde return to his seat. He put his head on his hand, thinking what to do. This is a way to transfer the general payment to the Ministry of Households. But you must know that the state has already run into a fiscal deficit. If the military pay of the local health station is transferred to the state, Zhu Youxiao will not have to live, and the Ming Dynasty will also go bankrupt. Rubbing his head, very irritable. What about the commercial tax that you have agreed with Zhu Youxiao? Why hasn't this cargo seen a movement until now? No, Zhu Youxiao should have ordered to revise the tax law a long time ago. That guy still owes a large debt to the bank. How could he not want to make money? It should be the people of the Donglin Party who are playing tricks. Behind them are great merchants, and it is a weird thing that they can make the new business tax come to power smoothly. Divided by class, Zhu Youxiao is still a landlord class, representing the interests of the majority of landlords. The members of the Donglin Party are bourgeois and represent the interests of businessmen. Not only the Donglin Party, but the Chu Party and the Zhejiang Party should be the same. Wait, I have a navy master in my hand, so I won't have any money? Who will believe it? With a navy, there will be customs and ports. Goose plucking is still necessary. Whether the court issues laws or not is a matter of the court, but it is their own business not to collect business taxes. I don't want to ask you more, I'll take one out of thirty. Now that the sea ban has also been opened, I really don't believe that I can't receive money. With money, other things will be easier to handle? When the navy becomes stronger in the future, you will be on the sea. If you are Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, English, Japanese, and you cross my land, you will have to pay. No money? Try it and see if your boat is hard or my cannon is strong. Seeing a wretched smile on Wei Ming's face, the eyes of the people below all lit up. They all know that as long as Wei Ming shows such an expression, it means that he is going to make a sly trick again.
"My lord, what good strategy do you have?" Chen Bangzhan asked cautiously. Wei Ming smiled, someone will always suffer. I just hope that the person who suffers is not me.
"Okay, go down and tell our soldiers that if you want to pay, you have to look at them. All the piers have been shown to me, and the geese have plucked their hair. No matter who it is, as long as they bring the goods, they will be paid. I collect money. How much money they can collect depends on their ability. Tell them that the money they receive is their income. If they collect less, they deserve nothing. You can't do too much, just take one out of thirty. It’s the bottom line. If you take too much, you’ll be engaged in military law. Also, when you’re a soldier, you have to be like a soldier. Those are all uncles. The criminals who are distributed can only carry shoes for them. Of course, we have to. For the civilized point, just call it an auxiliary soldier. Also, tell the old wealthy landlords, dare to take the land of my navy, and give them half a month to spit it out to me. If it's half a month later If the land is outside, hum, then let’s try and let them figure it out by themselves. He Shijinhe, governor, try to recruit useful men from Guangxi to serve in our army. Two silver coins per month will make up for the navy. Of course, the Governor Wang and the Governor of the South must also work harder to gather the fleeing soldiers and recruit new soldiers. A tough attitude is not advisable. From now on, we are all brothers in the pot, and we will become opposites. The situation is not good. We have to explain our policies carefully to others. Also, it seems that we can’t proceed with the new army. However, the big guys shouldn’t be idle. Physical training on land and fighting skills on land. After all, it’s not enough to be able to fight on the water. Sometimes, we still need to land. Shipbuilding must also be tightened, and confidentiality must be paid attention to. Okay. , That's it for today, let's go down and prepare!" Wei Ming waved his hand, admiring his intelligence.
"promise!"
