Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

"The Ming Dynasty maintains a million soldiers. Although there is a military settlement system, the military expenditure is not small in order to stabilize the border..."

"Is this... too..."

"It shouldn't be placed anywhere..."

"..."

As soon as Zhu Yunhuan said this, everyone present couldn't help but show an indescribable expression on their faces. They all whispered to each other, but they all seemed to be hesitant to speak, not daring to say anything carelessly.

They thought that Zhu Yunhuan might have some ridiculous demands.

Even Zhu Yunhuan might have thought about getting money from the national treasury to make elixirs for his "Alchemy Bureau".

But I didn't expect this.

There is nothing wrong with increasing troops, training troops, and strengthening military strength.

only……

All those present were important officials of the court, and they were naturally well aware of the current situation and pattern of the Ming Dynasty.

There are indeed occasional Japanese pirates in the southeastern coastal areas such as Fujian, Zhejiang, etc., but so far, no large-scale conflicts have actually broken out.

In terms of military deployment, it was far less important than the remnants of the former Yuan Dynasty in the north, the Miao and barbarians in Yunnan in the southwest, and the Tusi rebellion.

Military spending in previous years was also allocated to these areas, and the military spending on the coastal areas can only be said to be incidental.

Shift your spending towards something that is not so important.

This is like... using a butcher knife to kill a chicken, spending a lot of money and food to get the minimum benefit.

And this year, judging by the Young Emperor's intentions...

Is this guy planning to rebel against Tiangang again?

"Sure enough... this young emperor never disappoints us when it comes to making trouble..." At this moment, although everyone's expressions were different, their inner thoughts were surprisingly consistent.

Who would dare to second such a proposal? They would be criticized the moment they turned around!

Therefore, all the civil and military officials in the court were hesitant.

But at the same time.

Ma Sanbao, who had been standing behind Zhu Yunhuan with his eyes lowered, raised his head for a rare moment and looked at the back of his master. His heart was beating wildly and his eyes were shining.

Others don’t understand, but he understands a little bit.

"Your Majesty is... already preparing to go out to sea!"

"The undiscovered continent of America!"

"Corn, potatoes... and all sorts of other high-yield crops. Oh, and the chili peppers that Your Majesty has been so obsessed with."

"An inexhaustible mountain of gold and silver!"

Ma Sanbao has not forgotten every word Zhu Yunhuan has ever mentioned to him, and he has been preparing for this over the past six months.

"The American continent is incredibly far from the Ming Dynasty. We must successfully overcome the obstacles along the way and resist the covetousness of merchants and pirates from all continents and countries."

"We definitely need a military force that's familiar with the sea!"

"It's not just about going out to sea. Your Majesty also occasionally displays an inexplicable determination to conquer certain overseas countries. This requires sufficient military forces!"

Among the eunuchs, Ma Sanbao is the most special one. Not only is he the confidant of Zhu Yunhuan, the Emperor Kaiqian, but also he has been subtly influenced and taught by Zhu Yunhuan since his early days.

At this moment, he understood everything without even thinking.

He knew that this was a matter of time, because His Majesty had told him that if he wanted to go to sea, he had to go to sea with hegemony. His Majesty also said that those who did not recognize this hegemony would be forced to recognize it when he returned!

But even Ma Sanbao didn't expect this.

This thing will happen so quickly.

However, Ma Sanbao also knew that his current identity did not allow him to say a single word, nor could he show anything, so as not to ruin His Majesty's business. Even though he was very excited, even though his heart was about to jump out of his throat, he could only take a deep breath, pinch his palm with his fingernails, and try his best to remain calm on the surface.

Faced with this seemingly very embarrassing scene.

Zhu Yunhuan raised his eyebrows indifferently, his face stern as he patted the dragon desk a few times. "Don't give me this hesitant trick. If you have nothing to say, let's discuss the next item. If you have something to say, just say it. Of course, I suggest you hold back your thoughts, because I won't accept them."
