The capital is a good season for high and cool autumn.

Lin Haoran has always liked the autumn in the capital, not only to drive away the summer heat, but also to add a lot of fruits that are in line with the season, as well as the depth and charm of this blue sky.

After presiding over the ceremony, he returned to the signing room.

Lin Fu brought hot tea, and the whole room was filled with the fragrance of tea.

Lin Haoran drank tea slowly, and as he had started a new day's work as before, his attention quickly turned to the upcoming military salary.

The Ministry of Household Affairs is not only responsible for the collection of taxes in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, but also has to pay for various expenses. Since the imperial court levied taxes in kind, the imperial court allocated silver taels to distribute military salaries, so the household department also needed to realize the grain.

Thanks to the purchasing power of the capital area, I will not worry too much about the realization of grain. However, whenever he looks at the many losses and the difficulties of the people in transporting tax grain, he still hopes to implement the measure of "requisitioning grain to silver" in developed areas.

Of course, he also knows that the current court is not yet his turn to be the master, and Xu Jie, as the largest landowner in the southeast, still protects the interests of the landlord class.

To get back to the point, there is actually a serious problem with the salary of the Ming Dynasty.

Due to the rigidity of the military and political system, especially the proliferation of the hereditary system of officials and soldiers, military salaries are no longer distributed according to ability and military merit, but rather pay attention to background and background.

Lin Haoran is now in control of the household department, and when he understands the specific flow of military salaries, he knows in his heart that this kind of injustice can only reduce the combat effectiveness of the army. If the army is allowed to corrupt again, the Ming army will not be able to defend the country and quell the civil strife in the future.

Now that he has sat in the position of the head of the household department, he naturally has to think a little more, but not only to build a healthy finance, but also to build a military and political system that can protect the family and defend the country.

It was thinking about how to solve the shortcomings of the military and politics that an obese figure appeared outside the door.

Lin Haoran heard the movement, and couldn't help but look up, it was Yang Futian who came in.

Yang Futian looked out of breath, and said heavily to Lin Haoran: "Senior brother, something happened!" ”

Lin Fu has been guarding the door, and when he heard this, not only did he not come over, but he also went to the second gate to guard, so as not to let people come in here to disturb or eavesdrop.

"Brother Yang, I don't know what happened?" Lin Haoran's left eyelid kept beating, and he faintly felt that the evil omen had been fulfilled, and immediately asked solemnly.

Yang Futian handed a note to Lin Haoran, and said with a solemn face: "There was news from Nanjing just now, Zhenwu Camp launched a mutiny again because the imperial court owed two pieces of silver!" ”

"The Zhenwu battalion mutiny? Didn't the imperial court already agree to disband the Zhenwu camp? When Lin Haoran heard this, he couldn't help but be puzzled.

Since the last time he proposed the idea of disbanding the Zhenwu Battalion in the name of the Ministry of Households, although the imperial court has delayed on the grounds that the matter is unresolved, the Zhenwu Battalion is really arrogant in Nanjing.

Because Lin Haoran made a start, the officials in Nanjing repeatedly asked for the disbandment of the Zhenwu battalion, and the imperial court could not withstand this pressure after all, so it decided to order the Nanjing military department to disband the Zhenwu battalion.

Yang Futian sighed helplessly, and explained bitterly: "The Nanjing Military Department has been delaying the handling of this matter, and our Household Department did order the Nanjing Household Department to stop allocating military salaries to the Zhenwu Battalion last month, and instead allocate the relevant military salaries to various guards, so the Zhenwu Battalion really failed to get the military salaries!" ”

"In this way, the responsibility for the mutiny of the Zhenwu Battalion has to be borne by our household department, and it is attributed to our household department's refusal to pay soldiers!" Lin Haoran's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said indifferently.

The reason why Yang Futian ran in in a panic was because he had this layer of worry, and he also nodded bitterly and said, "Senior brother, what should we do now?" ”

"It has happened, even if we want to quell the mutiny, I am afraid that we will not be able to reach it now!" Lin Haoran turned his head to look at the south and responded helplessly.

Things have come to this point, and the reason why his left eyelid is beating today is not the assassination of Liu Ruyue, but the mutiny of the Zhenwu Battalion that was manipulated in Nanjing City.

Obviously, the Nanjing incident was Xu Jie's handiwork, and it was his trick to put himself to death.

In fact, Xu Jie will not be quiet forever, after all, he has been difficult for ten years, and Xu Jie will eventually grow old. It's okay if the emperor can survive all the time, but the emperor has been sick for more than half a year and still hasn't improved, and he will only be more anxious over there.

The only thing he didn't expect was that Xu Jie, a good old man who prided himself on being virtuous, would not hesitate to push the military disaster to bring him down.

Nanjing, also the season of high and cool autumn.

Nanjing City can be said to be the first city in the world, and unlike Beijing City, which can only be built into a "convex shape", the outer city of Nanjing City is directly surrounded by the inner city, forming a very non-standard hollow shape.

The city of Nanjing is no longer noisy in the past, the gates of the inner city have been closed, the streets are sparsely populated, many shop doors are closed, and many scholars and merchants are talking about the Zhenwu camp.

Although the Zhenwu camp was blocked in the outer city, many people felt that the scene of the 39th year of Jiajing was repeated again. In essence, this Nanjing barracks, which was set up to resist the Japanese, was a mistake from beginning to end.

In the 34th year of Jiajing, Nanjing Shangshu Zhang Wei selected 3,000 people from Zhuying and Ding Zhuang of Huai'an Mansion and Yangzhou Mansion, with Xu Pengju, the only national prince in Nanjing, as his general.

It's just that Xu Pengju is worthy of the name of the Duke of the Straw Bag Country, although he is the garrison of Nanjing, he does not have the ability to govern the army, and he is still the style of the second ancestor on weekdays.

After the Zhenwu Battalion mutiny, after the gang blackmailed 100,000 taels of military salaries and death exemption coupons from the imperial court, not only did they not contribute to the resistance against the Japanese, but also became more and more arrogant in Nanjing.

This time, the imperial court wants to disband the Zhenwu camp, which undoubtedly touches their fundamental interests.

Not to mention that Nanjing is in a prosperous place, and many of them have been promoted here, but after returning to their hometowns, their quality of life and status have declined.

It was precisely because of this that they decided not to listen to the decision of the Nanjing Military Headquarters to disband the Zhenwu Battalion, and on the pretext that the payment of military salaries had been suspended, a new mutiny was already brewing.

"Open the gates, and we will pay the soldiers!"

"Eunuch Qian is in our hands, open the city gate quickly!"

"The imperial court has to give us an explanation for Zhenwu Ying, otherwise we will be blamed for killing the Qian eunuch and sacrificing the flag!"

……

The Zhenwu battalion was not able to enter the inner city this time, but it was fearless and showed off its might at the south gate.

The last mutiny killed Huang Maoguan, the right attendant of the household department, and ordered the bigwigs such as He Kun, the secretary of the household department, Zhang Wei, the secretary of the Nanjing military department, and He Huan, the eunuch of the Nanjing General Town, to step down.
