Mo Zhinian hesitated for a moment and said, "But in this way, the manpower may not be enough."

Wu Zheng glanced at Mo Zhinian and smiled and said, "It's been almost three years since I picked people from the business school. It's time to let these students show their strengths."

"yes."

Wu Zheng turned the topic and said, "Mr. Mo is willing to take over as the Minister of Revenue in Yixing Dynasty?"

Mo Zunnian was shocked and hurriedly said, "According to the prince's intention, I am not allowed to enter the officialdom. Besides, I am a civilian, so how can I be qualified to be above the court?"

"That's right." Wu Zheng said casually, "I originally wanted to recommend you. There is Huang Daozhou in the cabinet, and I think it's not difficult to come to the court for discussion. Unfortunately, there is no suitable candidate in my hand. The Ministry of Revenue has a great relationship and it is inappropriate to fall into the hands of others."

Mo Zhinian's face twitched and said, "Didn't the prince intentionally ask Ma Shiying to take over the Ministry of Revenue?"

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't trust Lao Ma, but because of his reputation... I'm really sad about the court."

Mo Zhinian thought for a while and said, "Ma Shiying's reputation is indeed a bit bad... But if the prince is interested, no one can stop him."

Wu Zheng pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it... Lao Ma is really not suitable, please look for others."

Mo Zhinian suddenly said, "If the prince... doesn't mind, I am willing to share the worries of the prince. Don't worry, I am willing to take it as a temporary control of the Ministry of Revenue for the prince. If the prince finds a suitable candidate, I will definitely not be attached to it."

Wu Zheng smiled and looked at Mo Zhinian steadily.

Mo Zhengnian blushed for no reason and said, "Prince, no one from the Mo family has been in office for three generations. If he becomes the Minister of Revenue, he will be considered as a shining family. At least he has become the prime minister... Uh, please help me."

Wu Zheng said in a harmonious voice: "But Mr. Mo has already served as the Finance Department and the President of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. If he takes over as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, I am afraid you... I will not be too busy. And the Finance Department and the President of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce cannot easily deal with others, so I am not at ease..."

Mo Zunian said anxiously: "Don't worry, I can still eat. I have three years... I will let you go."

Wu Zheng finally nodded, "Okay, Mr. Mo is naturally relieved to control the Ministry of Revenue."

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng suddenly changed his mind, "There is something I want to discuss with Mr. Mo."

"Prince, please speak."

"Can the redemption money of Karkhun, Shangshan and others be delivered?"

"The delivery has been completed, and the Qing court paid the redemption gold with half of the gold and silver and half of the money shop bills."

Wu Zheng nodded, "I was thinking that I would use this unexpected fortune to continue to expand the military workshop. In this war, the biggest flaw exposed by the Northern Expedition Army is the insufficient ammunition, which greatly restricted the combat capability. The insufficient output of the military workshop also restricted the formation of the new army."

"It should be so, I have no objection."

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "It's a pity that this fortune is probably useful."

Mo Zhinian was stunned and asked anxiously: "Where is the prince who wants to use it?"

Wu Zheng thought about it and said, "The court's financial resources are indeed short of money. This is not something that Beijing officials can survive by squeezing their belts. In this battle, Beijing and Jianyang Guards suffered heavy casualties. If the rewards are given, the pensions are not good. In addition, this money-making corruption case, I am afraid that the people will be in trouble again."

Mo Zhinian quickly reacted, "What the prince means is... want to donate this silver to the court?"

Wu Zheng nodded slightly, "It's something outside of us. The court is separated from us and the Qing court, and in fact it has indeed blocked a strong enemy for us. Otherwise, if this war happened in Hangzhou Prefecture, even in Jiaxing and Songjiang Prefectures... the consequences would be unimaginable."

Mo Zhinian frowned slightly, and he suddenly realized that Wu Zheng had thrown out the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in order to seek his support for this matter.

Mo Zhongnian couldn't help but feel nervous. Could it be that Wu Zheng already had distrust of himself?

Mo Zhinian's hands trembled a little, and he was embarrassed. He was opposed to Wu Zheng's like this, because the Financial Secretary under the General's Office was as tight as his financial resources. Of course, this tightening did not come from internal corruption or other things. The reason was that Wu Zheng's huge investment in various infrastructure construction in recent years, and the return on these investments was slow.

This money can greatly improve the flow of funds in the Financial Secretary, and also put the minting and issuance of silver coins on the agenda.

But now, Wu Zheng proposed to donate the silver to the court. This is not a small amount, and it is equivalent to the financial surplus of the General's Mansion in one year.

Mo Zheng was caught in a difficult choice. If he opposed it, Wu Zheng would likely take back his position as Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. This is Mo Zheng's obsession in his heart.

But if you support Wu Zheng, then it would be against your original intention. At the same time, without this money, the General's Mansion would also be trapped in the rewards of the soldiers participating in the war and the financial resources of the pension were tightened.

Wu Zheng looked at Mo Zhinian quietly without urging him.

Mo obsessed with seldom hesitate for such a long time.

After a long time, Mo Zhinian finally let out a long sigh and he looked at Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng laughed, he knew that Mo Zhengnian had made a choice.

"What should I do if Mr. Mo wants to do it?"

Don’t obsessed with it, bowed solemnly, and said, “I have been considering it over and over again. I am indeed old and should not be appointed as the Minister of Revenue… I also ask the prince to find another talent.”

The smile on Wu Zheng's face gradually subsided, "Does Mo always disagree with my proposal to donate the silver to the court?"

"yes!"

“Why?”

"The prince cannot raise a tiger to cause trouble, cut his flesh and feed the eagle!"

Wu Zheng's face gradually became colder and he said in anger: "Yi Xingchao is not our enemy!"

"Prince forgive me." Mo Zhengnian replied calmly, "But in my eyes, they are the prince's enemies, no, our enemies. Is the prince willing to spend more energy to suppress the court soon, or will he always secretly control the court's military and political affairs?"

Wu Zheng said in a deep voice: "You are provoking the relationship between me and the court!"

"Prince, I'm sorry to say that although Your Majesty is a woman, his character is more stable than that of King Danyang, and her prestige is far more than that of King Danyang. The key point is that her tolerance is more helpful to unite Yixingchao. This money is enough to make Yixingchao turn the earth."

"Can you understand that you are suggesting that I will have a battle with the court in the future?"

"Yes. If the imperial court is strong, we have to make more sacrifices. This is not what I want to see, and of course it is not what the prince wants to see."

"But you also said that Your Majesty's mind is different from that of King Danyang."

"I also believe that Your Majesty will not be an enemy of the prince, but the power struggle is never varied by one person's will, even if this person is the emperor. The prince's escape from danger does not mean that it ends, but... it has just begun!"

"Old Mo... you surprised me." Wu Zhengyouyou said, "Actually, you should have guessed that I plan to use the position of Minister of Revenue to exchange your support for this matter."
