When Zhu Hou saw this, he seemed to hesitate. Once Ye Chunqiu was not a Hanlin Academy, it would not be so convenient to enter the palace later. From then on, his old nest was the Zhenguo Mansion. It was inconvenient to think about it.

However, he was still happy. In his opinion, Ye Chunqiu was his brother, but he was not a royal family. Since he was not a royal family, he naturally could not be granted a king. If he could not be granted a king, what kind of brothers would he be?

But once Ye Chunqiu is not a Hanlin person, he cannot participate in the lectures every now and then, nor can he enter the palace every now and then. This is indeed a very depressing thing.

He looked at Liu Jian and said, "What does Master Liu mean?"

He hopes that Liu Jian can have a way to make a turnaround.

Liu Jian then stepped forward and said, "What the Censor Liu Du said is not bad. Your Majesty has already told the world that although Ye Chunqiu survived, he made great contributions. Moreover, if Your Majesty breaks his promise and becomes fat, the subjects of the world will inevitably look at each other. Therefore, in the foolish opinion of the old minister, Ye Chunqiu, the Duke of the State, deserves his reputation, but..."

He deliberately paused here before continuing: "The new army of Zhenguo has made great contributions, especially this time, should we give it a reward for defeating the thief army?"

Yes, the contribution of the new army this time was definitely quite large, and it solved a huge problem for the court.

But what should I do?

Zhu Houzhao said: "I wish to hear Master Liu's great views."

Liu Jian said: "There was a precedent before. The new army that made meritorious can be granted fame and honor. Those new recruits should be given a student, but if the previous students have any kindness, I am afraid that they will consider it separately. This matter is not urgent."

Liu Jian smiled and said, "As for Wang Shouren, the counselor of Zhenguo Mansion, he has made many great achievements. Shouldn't he be given a title? According to my opinion, since there are many students in the new army of Zhenguo, it is natural that he will inevitably establish a lecturer. Why not let Ye Chunqiu dismiss his post as a student and be appointed as the governor of Zhenguo Mansion. Wang Shouren is the chief of Zhenguo Mansion. How about it?"

For a moment, the entire hall started to talk again.

Liu Jian was right. In the Ming Dynasty, any student needed to be managed. Just like in the Imperial College, there would be special Imperial College priests, there would be academic masters, doctors, and in various provinces, there would be academic governors, in the prefectures, and in the county there would be teaching masters.

If you give this fame and reputation to others, of course you have to manage it. This is the so-called academic and political education.

The same is true for Zhenguo New Army now. There are so many students in Zhenguo New Army. You can't let go of it, but the system of Zhenguo New Army and other academic and political systems have some special features, because their main task is to practice and go to battle. What is really applicable is military rules, not learning rules. Since the academic and political affairs cannot be managed, then let Zhenguo Duke serve as a scholar. With Ye Chunqiu's knowledge, he is enough to take responsibility. As for Wang Shouren, his qualifications are enough to become a scholar.

You see, the problem has been solved. The system of the school officials is in Zhenguo Mansion, which is the official position of Zhenguo Mansion, just like the chief of the royal palace. However, no matter what, it involves academic administration, so it is natural that it is still Qingliu. The school officials in the Ming Dynasty are actually very popular. For example, in the Hanlin period, in addition to Hanlin, school officials also have to participate.

After all, Liu Jian still had selfish intentions. He wanted to put Ye Chunqiu into the bureaucratic system in a roundabout way. No matter what, this person is the top scholar. If he really abandoned Wen and joined the army, it would be a pity.

This is equivalent to setting up a vague area. You say that the governor of the school is a school official, but it is not. It belongs to the system of Zhenguo Mansion. You say that it is the military service system of Zhenguo Mansion, but it is related to the academic government. In the Ming Dynasty, any word "Study" belongs to the affairs of the saints. It can be classified into the education system. People who are related to education are either Qingliu or Qingliu.

Zhu Houzhao looked very satisfied, and then said, "Since that's the case..."

"Your Majesty." Someone was anxious at this time, but Yang Jian, the Minister of War, stood up: "Your Majesty, since Ye Chunqiu is the Duke of Zhenguo, the new army of Zhenguo is strong after all, will it be included in the fifth barracks..."

The real problem is that Duke Zhenguo was originally from Zhu Houzhao, so the new army of Zhenguo should belong to the emperor's private guard, which is roughly the same as the Warriors' Battalion, but the problem now is that since Duke Zhenguo has changed people, wouldn't this new army of Zhenguo become the private soldiers of Duke Zhenguo? This is obviously unacceptable to the Ministry of War.

So, now someone has finally begun to discuss the ownership of the new army in Zhenguo.

Regarding this issue, the palace fell into silence again.

However, at this time, Liu Jin, who was standing beside Zhu Houzhao, suddenly spoke: "I have something that I shouldn't have said."

Liu Jin was not qualified to make suggestions here, but after all, he was the eunuch of the Silijian, but he heard him laugh and said, "I just want to ask, how much does this new army in the township have a monthly military expenditure?"

The people in the hall stared at each other with big eyes, and the Minister of War was also stunned for a moment.

Ye Chunqiu was a little displeased when he heard that someone wanted to include the Zhenguo New Army in the Five Military Camp. No matter what, the Zhenguo New Army was brought out by himself and considered his own child. Now he wanted to be separated, because he became the Duke of Zhenguo, he couldn't help but feel regretful.

But he never expected that Liu Jin would be in a slight position at this time, and he didn't know what Liu Jin sold in the gourd, but said: "Now, there are 600 new troops in the country. Every month, from equipment maintenance to training and supplies, it will cost about 50,000 taels of silver in one month."

About 50,000 taels, everyone took a breath. This was a military horse made of real gold!

You should know that the imperial court's annual silver tax is only 200 million yuan, which means that if you want to support these 600 people, you have to take out 20% of the treasury to support these 600 people. With this silver, the imperial court can pay tens of thousands of officials. From this point of view, the new army in the capital can win a battle, to put it bluntly, it is made with money.

Liu Jin smiled and then slowly said, "Look, if it is included in the Five Military Camp, can the Ministry of War afford it? Oh, then again, if we want to separate the new army from the Zhenguo Mansion, we will inevitably have to split the China Merchants Bureau. Zhenguo Duke, I am right, but I heard that the Zhenguo Research Institute is of great use for the China Merchants Bureau. In this way, should the research institute be separated from the China Merchants Bureau? If they are all separated, there is nothing wrong with it. The question arises again. If the China Merchants Bureau and the Research Institute lose the Zhenguo Duke, can we still make a profit? Our court is not without the manufacturing bureau, but everyone has seen that in the final result, which one of the manufacturing bureaus earned the silver for the court? It would be good if the imperial court did not fill the silver." (To be continued.)
