The year of 1637 was the tenth year of Chongzhen, and the officials and people of the southeast province said that their lives had never been so good, and that the wise leaders, the abundance of material and the enthusiasm for work made everyone seem to have endless energy.

The Borneo region received a million silver dollars in gold that year!

This is still honestly explained by everyone, and I am afraid that the people of the government have hidden the gold harvested, more than a million silver dollars.

Among them, 350,000 silver dollars of gold belonged to Yan Dashao's own company, and he spent all the proceeds on the construction of Borneo, not only did he not make any money, but he also gave an extra 350,000 silver dollars, so that he himself had no money.

Continued investment has made Java, Borneo, Madura, Bali and the Spice Islands thriving.

Everyone is happy!

Of course, some people are happy and some are worried, such as Xiong Wencan, the governor of Guangdong, who is worried about his promotion.

The background is:

In March, Zhang Xianzhong led the army out of Qianshan and broke through Taihu Lake, Qizhou now Qichunnan, Huangzhou now Huanggang and other places. On the 25th, Xianzhong led the army and the Ming army to fight in the Yanjiadian of Taihu Lake. Loyal to the Ming army with tens of thousands of soldiers. He also sent the general army to block Shi Kefa and other reinforcements. When it rained, the peasant army attacked from all sides, and fought in close quarters, beheading more than 40 people including Pan Keda, the general of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming army was defeated, losing more than 6,000 soldiers. Xianzhong led the army to take advantage of the victory in the east to take Hezhou, Hanshan, Liuhe and other places.

When the news came out, the Ming court was shaken!

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the throne and took stock left and right, that worry, who to find to deal with Zhang Xianzhong.

This official is stupid, that official only brags!

Now Chongzhen is no longer the first brother, he has been in power for ten years, and he also knows a lot of things, and found that the Donglin Party will release empty cannons as much as possible, and they are all impassioned when it comes to political affairs, and they are all brave and loyal, but they really need them to get money for the court to spend disaster relief and military salaries, they are at a loss, and they will say that the emperor wants to save expenses!

Save, save a hair!

The dragon robes of labor and management have been patched, and it is still the hand of Queen Zhou!

Then the Donglin Party said: "Hey, the emperor, you have eaten too much, learn from the boss of the southeast mansion Yan, and the people have four dishes and one soup!" ”

Four dishes and one soup is the reception standard of the Southeast Mansion, which has always been used to boast of its frugality, and everyone knows that now the Donglin Party wants the emperor to keep up with the Southeast Mansion.

Well, why don't you talk about Chen Xinji, the administrative boss of the Southeast Mansion, and pack it if he can't finish eating? The former Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is now staying in the southeast mansion, and Sun Chengzong went out to eat food stalls?

The Donglin Party spends all day and wine, and eats flower wine on the Qinhuai River, but it is called Merry!

It's true that I say it's obscene!

Just talk and don't practice, pedantic and incompetent bastard!

Emperor Chongzhen's sorrow is that if there are no external enemies and internal troubles, give him some time, and he may clean up the Donglin Party when he wakes up, but now in this situation, he is powerless to deal with the Donglin Party!

Looking around, I found Xiong Wencan, this guy is a capable person!

The supply of money and grain to the imperial court is stable, and it is stable and rising.

In fact, the financial revenue of Guangdong Province is not only so small, but most of the corrupt officials led by Xiong Wencan have swallowed it!

Guangdong Province imitated the policy of economic development in the southeast province, vigorously expanded land reclamation, developed agriculture, handicrafts and commerce, and earned a large income, in fact, it was the best among the provinces.

But the officials of Canton Province are very smart!

They embezzled and took bribes and took the money, so that they were not stupid enough to hand over so much to the imperial court.

If you hand over too much to the imperial court, the imperial court will need to ask for too much, and the greater trouble will be to attract the Donglin Party and Qingliu!

Because of the economic development of Guangdong Province, there are many methods that are illegal and have not been approved by the imperial court, such as allowing Hongmao Fan to come to Guangzhou and allowing Cantonese people to trade at sea.

At present, the Donglin Party does not come to provoke Xiong Wencan, it is the eldest brother, not to mention the second brother, the hometown of the Donglin Party is very smuggling, and the Southeast Mansion has their accounts in their hands!

Qingliuju hates it, you pay a lot of taxes and grain to the court, and they actually impeach you, saying that you have looted too much from the common people?

Yes, we can't afford to provoke Qingliu, leave this tax grain to us!

Officials in Guangdong Province were smart enough to eat meat themselves, drink soup to the people below, and let the common people gnaw bones.

Anyway, it will not make people angry, but give the people a way to live, so there are neither bandits nor thieves on the territory under Xiong Wencan's jurisdiction, and even the ethnic tribes in Guangxi who have always made trouble are very honest and fair to deal with them, do not oppress them, and use musketeers to patrol and show their force at the right time, and they will be obedient.

Compared with other places, it is a good fighter who has no outstanding merits, some places have been affected by disasters, and local officials boast that they have helped countless people, and say how many thieves have been suppressed, killing two heads today, and taking a blood tomorrow, a lot of credit.

Such "glorious" deeds have never been reported in the Liangguang region.

Emperor Chongzhen has come back to his senses, this kind of silent is the big cow, you see, after the former Hebei governor Ding Kuichu took office as the Fujian patrol, he dived thoroughly, in addition to paying taxes and grain on time and reporting safety every year, the P word is not issued!

That's that, Comrade Lao Ding is busy organizing a fleet to go to sea for fishing operations!

It is such magistrates that they have the most power to govern the place!

The key is that those magistrates who talk about disaster relief and murder talk wildly, and they can't pay the taxes and grain on time!

This kind of officials who do not add trouble are appreciated, so Emperor Chongzhen likes Comrade Xiong Wencan is mother-in-law and son-in-law more and more. With the officials and armies of Shaanxi, Henan, Huguang, and Jiangbei as the "four positives", they are responsible for "the four governors to divide and suppress and defend"; With Yansui, Shanxi, Shandong, Jiangnan, Jiangxi, and Sichuan as the "six corners", the "six governors are responsible for dividing defense and cooperating in suppression", which is called the "ten-sided net".

With defense, someone has to be responsible for the attack, Yang Shangshu is also like Emperor Chongzhen nodded his fingers, the difference is that he even clicked his toes, point to go, the short boy came out of the tall guy, he hit Xiong Wencan, and recommended him to lead the officers and soldiers to attack the peasant bandits.

It is really recommended by the monarch and ministers, Emperor Chongzhen is happy, and he is ready to be promoted to Xiong Wencan's official, and he understands the matter of suppressing bandits.

Hearing that it was going to be of great use to him, Xiong Wencan's reaction was dizzy!

Over the years, he has done wine and meat, gold and silver, and he has been very moisturized by the wind and the rain.

Do you want him to move?

This heavy responsibility should be borne by others, our old bear is actually a sick cat, and his strength is very weak!

I don't want to go, but in feudal society, the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, the king wants the minister to go, the minister has to go, think about it, he simply pretended to be stupid, grabbed the pen in his hand, and wrote a copy of the fold for Chongzhen. This is one of the famous strange texts in history: five difficulties, four inadmissibles.

A few days later, the twist and turn arrived in the capital in an expedited flight of 800 miles. Chongzhen almost didn't pluck off a few of his beards after reading it. What is this thing called:

"The ancients used soldiers at the right time." You don't send troops, but Zhang Xianzhong sends troops, let's all wait to be stabbed?

And this, "The thief worries, the grain also." The grain of Hunan and other five provinces can be burned. and the thief shall fall." True genius, thieves may not starve to death, but the people of the five provinces must starve to death!

Lao Xiong pretended to be stupid, Chongzhen was not stupid, he didn't talk nonsense, and directly issued an order, worshiping Wencan's military department and the right deputy capital Yushi, acting as Wang Jiazhen's prime minister for military affairs in Nangi, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Huguang, and Sichuan.

To go or not to go? If you don't go, you will take your post and go to jail!

went, I couldn't get Zhang Xianzhong, and I would be imprisoned for the same job!

So Xiong Wencan, who was promoted, cried and took office with a sad face as if he was on the execution ground!
