Mu Tianbo was sincere and everyone knew that he had been using all his troops, but he changed all his troops to muskets and cannons, and silver alone was not a decimal.

Although Zhu Ciyang has never raised the issue of cost, according to everyone's normal thinking, all the muskets and artillery have costs, and the imperial court has trained the army for tens of thousands or tens of thousands, but this is 130,000...

Some ministers looked embarrassed and were afraid that their part would be affected.

Zhu Cilang naturally knew what these people were thinking, so he quickly announced to everyone that all the money spent was allocated from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and did not talk to the Ministry of Revenue.

After hearing this, everyone felt relieved.

However, many people have a new question at this moment. It is certain that the Office of the Internal Affairs Office is making strong profits, but the number of them is indeed scared by the fact that they can take out 130,000 equipment at once.

Many people are thinking in their minds, is the income of the Ministry of Household Affairs higher than that of the Ministry of Revenue?

Of course, they just thought about it, and no one dared to raise this question.

The Office of the Internal Affairs manages the private wealth of His Royal Highness. If they even care about this, would they still be considered loyal ministers?

The verbal talk of the censors alone is enough for them to drink a pot.

What's more, the money in the internal service was earned by His Royal Highness with his abilities, and it did not affect the income of the Ministry of Revenue.

Moreover, all the names were newly created. In addition to the benefits obtained by the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Revenue also received very large taxes, and the people also benefited from it. It can be said that they killed three birds with one stone.

In this case, if you ask questions, some officials from the Ministry of Revenue would object.

It turns out that when officials of the Ministry of Revenue wake up every day, they think about where to go to raise money. Now they look at the warehouse full of silver. Who is full and has nothing to do to find trouble for themselves?

As for the Duke of Qian, he was so excited that he couldn't speak. He trembledly and insisted on kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times to Zhu Cixuan.

Although there are no major border problems in the southwest region, the various local chieftains are very arrogant and domineering.

If the Duke of Qian hadn't watched them in the past two years, I'd probably have caused trouble, but I know what happened to him...

Mu Tianbo has a large number of troops, but his combat effectiveness is not very good.

If something really happens, small-scale people can naturally be suppressed. If it is the action of tens of thousands of people, Mu Tianbo will really be unable to suppress it.

It turned out that when Chongzhen was the emperor, the Duke of Qian, Mu Tianbo, had already written to the court, hoping that the court could allocate funds and revitalize defense in the southwest region.

But unfortunately, the court's eyes were attracted by Li Zicheng and the Qing Dynasty, and there were many countries coming to congratulate him, so the court ministers did not take the southwest region seriously at all.

Fortunately, nothing happened in this period. If something happened, it would definitely be a big deal.

Now, no matter whether these small countries are sincerely congratulating or pretending to welcome them, after all the more than 100,000 troops have changed their muskets and cannons, even if these people want to make some trouble, they have to see if the weapons in our hands agree.

Of course, Zhu Ciyang wanted to select 3,000 officers in Nanjing, and more than 2,000 of them were promoted directly from soldiers.

Mu Tianbo had no objection to this, and Mu Tianbo was worried that he would not understand these things and delay the major affairs of the court. Now that the court sent instructors over there, he naturally agreed.

Many people in the court were still worried about Mu Tianbo. If these more than 100,000 troops rebelled, the court would probably be in a dilemma.

Liu Liangzuo and hundreds of people created such a great chaos on the battlefield. If these hundreds of thousands of people were rebelling with muskets, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty would be unstable!

Looking at Mu Tianbo's attitude now, he is really a loyal minister. As long as he can strengthen the southwest border defense court of the Ming Dynasty, he will send people there.

People do not regard the southwest region as their own private land. With this alone, many civil and military people in the court have to give a thumbs up.

In addition, after saying these things, Zhu Cilang asked someone to carry a sand table up.

"Your Highness, what does this mean?"

The civil and military ministers in Nanjing were all used to the sand table made by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but Mu Tianbo came from Yunnan and was not very used to such things.

I have never seen many new things I saw after coming to Nanjing this time. No wonder His Royal Highness was able to defeat 300,000 Qing troops.

"You have just arrived in Nanjing and are not very familiar with these things. This is a border sand table that I have asked to make overnight. After you go back, you will enlarge the things on this sand table and set up a substantial border line in the border areas."

Zhu Cilang pointed to the sand table and said.

It turns out that there is no substantial sign near the current border. Most of them are passed down from generation to generation and stipulated in a spoken way.

What Zhu Cilang has to do now is to determine the border line, and not be as vague as before, and not take it seriously if it is ten or twenty miles away.

Of course, we can't blame the people of this era. The border is mainly very desolate, and no one takes the land to heart.

After the sand tray was lifted up, Mu Tianbo looked at the thing with interest.

Shi Kefa began to explain this to Mu Tianbo.

In the future, a patrol guard post must be set up every five miles on the border of the Ming Dynasty, and barbed wire must be set up on the border.

In Zhu Cixuan's system, the 500-meter barbed wire is a merit point, but it only needs to be manually installed. It can be said that it is almost not much cost. However, after setting up this thing, the border lines between the Ming Dynasty and surrounding countries were determined.

The series of border disputes that occurred in the past can now be reduced by half.

Near the southwest border of the Ming Dynasty, there were hundreds of small vassal states around it.

These border disputes alone have already made Mu Tianbo very troubled. After listening to Shi Kefa's explanation, Mu Tianbo's face also showed a smile.

I have long thought about setting some rules, but my strength is weak and I can only maintain the local status quo. Now that His Royal Highness can transport these things over, the surrounding countries will know the majesty of our Ming Dynasty.

"Your Highness, the way you proposed is extremely admired by me. This is how humid the border area is. If you build a fortress by the law of the country, you will only last for three years and then renovate it later. The amount of silver you will spend is huge..."
