Wang Gongchen stood up and said: "This is unacceptable. Soldiers have learned to ride horses, archery, use weapons, etc. Once they are reduced, their jobs will be broken and they will inevitably gather as thieves.

Sure enough, Zhao Zhen summoned the second government to discuss matters together the next day.

"It's interesting."

Chief Chen said: "The king Chenggong has gone to work and is not in the courtyard."

If we don't disarm, things will get worse and worse. If this continues, within ten years, the imperial court's finances will really no longer be able to afford it.

Ding Shougong also smiled: "Bachelor, we have nothing to say about the order you sent over. We signed it for you."

Director Chen quickly changed the subject and said, "Sister Zhang, why don't you let me take you to the mansion and settle down first? What do you think?"

After making a little joke, Zhao Zhen said with a serious look on his face: "I have called everyone here today. Of course, there is something important to discuss. Pang Qing, you can talk about it."

Of course, Zhang Heng doesn't have to tolerate it. In his opinion, Han Qi's methods are like child's play. This is the center, not the local governor's hall. How can he be isolated if he wants to?

He has been an official since the second year of Qingli, and this year is already his seventh year. Although he was the chief official most of the time, he also served as an assistant official, but he has never encountered such a situation where he was ignored.

Zhao Zhen said calmly: "Let's all discuss it. If you have any opinions, you can come up with them one by one."

Han Qi's face suddenly darkened.

The host said: "Yes, Bachelor Zhang is here today."

"...If you want to evade me, it depends on whether you have such ability."

Zhang Heng was sitting firmly in the palace. People were coming and going outside the Privy Council Hall, but no one dared to come here. They all stayed away, which was a strange sight.

Director Chen quickly introduced Zhang Heng, and then said cautiously: "Sister Zhang, if you need anything else, just tell me."

Zhang Heng shook his head, sighed softly, and then his eyes gradually became sharp.

Although there are financial difficulties now, it is just because of the disasters in the past few years. This year, there will be enough rain, and there should be no more bad harvests in prefectures and counties. As long as we can survive this year, things will be better next year. But if we disarmament, right now

There will be great difficulties.

Ding Shougong smiled sheepishly, and then whispered: "There are some things that are illegal and unreasonable. As long as you think they are right, you can send them over."

Zhang Heng walked behind the desk, wiped it lightly with his fingers, and nodded. There was no dust, and it was still very clean.

As for who wants to stand up to him, don't think too much. Except for Han Qi, the Privy Council would never have such courage just by Wang Yiqing.

Pang Ji immediately said: "Privacy Minister Han, so you agree with disarmament, right?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Heng's smooth and dry forehead and couldn't help but smile.

After saying this, Zhang Heng turned around and left. Ding Shougong looked at Zhang Heng's back and bowed deeply for a long time.

Han Qi said: "You should have seen the various tax targets handed in during the transfer envoy exam hosted by Zhang Xueshi. This year there will be 90 million yuan in taxes. With so much money, I'm afraid I won't be able to support the army."

?”

Originally, when encountering disasters such as famine, the strong and powerful among the affected people were recruited to serve in the Xiang army, so that they could have a way to make a living and avoid becoming bandits who destabilized the local area.

Pang Ji said angrily: "There is always an end to the increase in taxation, but there is no end to the increase in military expenditure. If this continues, one day it will be unbearable, so it is better to take precautions before it happens!"

Han Qi chuckled: "Then it's not an imminent matter. Let's wait a little longer."

Pang Ji glared angrily when he heard this.

That’s all for today. The pain in my neck is really unbearable. I’ll do more tomorrow to see if it feels better.
