087 Dolgon's stratagem
Watching Huang Taiji pulling wild boar meat and munching it, the two beautiful concubines helplessly accompanied them to eat coarse tea and light rice.
Chongzhen was very distressed.
What a garbage emperor Taiji, you always say that I am the dog emperor, and you are even more ......
You are just thrifty, and you still let such a beautiful concubine suffer?
It's just a man in vain.
Huang Taiji suddenly put down his chopsticks and sighed, "Ben Khan is the lord of a country, but Ben Khan's people are starving to death every day, what kind of face does Ben Khan have to eat meat?" ”
"Come on, remove all the meat, and you will not be allowed to eat meat in the future, Ben Khan and your concubines will be strict and frugal from now on, and they will eat vegetarian meals."
"Wow!"
Several eunuchs respectfully stepped forward and brought down the only meat dish on the table, wild boar stewed cabbage, leaving only Da Yu'er and Hai Lanzhu who wanted to cry without tears.
Both of them are from the Horqin tribe, and they are used to eating mutton, so how can they stand being vegetarian every day?
Chongzhen was secretly happy.
Huang Taiji has been forced to be thrifty, it seems that Jianyu's life is not easy? Hahaha, I'm happy.
Chongzhen live-streamed Jianyu's territory.
The land of Jianyu is actually richer than that of the Ming Kingdom, they have high mountains and forests, black soil and fertile fields, and deep rivers and rivers.
Some of the more fertile land, planted a bucket of grain, can actually harvest as much as eight or nine stones?
Pity......
This is all the old yellow calendar.
Now it is the Xiaoice climate, and the winter in Jianyu is already cold, and now it is cold on top of cold, plus last year's drought.
Now their fertile land has long since ceased to produce food, and the wild beasts in the mountains and forests have frozen and starved to death, and even the most durable wild boars and black bears are starving crookedly, with more hair and less meat.
After Huang Taiji finished eating.
He ordered Dorgon to be summoned to discuss great matters.
After the monarch and ministers saw the salute, Huang Taiji opened the door and said, "Dolgon, now that my Dajin elite soldiers have been lost, I can no longer afford to go south to plunder, and the soldiers and people have nothing to eat, how can it be good?" ”
Dorgon wrapped himself in a mink coat.
It's cold this year, it's been spring for so long, the climate is still dry and cold, and it is estimated that this year is another year of famine?
"Qi Yu Great Khan, my brother heard that poverty is a change, now my Dajin people are hungry, if you want to live, you can only rob, Ming Guo can't go at present, let's find North Korea."
"Although North Korea is poor, but its national strength is weak, we will first give them an order, let them bring in grain and livestock, if they are obedient and obedient, otherwise, I will wave North Korea and kill them without leaving a piece of armor."
Huang Taiji pondered for a moment.
"Okay, pass on Ben Khan's order, order the Joseon Li Dynasty to quickly pay tribute to 200,000 stone of grain, 100,000 heads of livestock, 10,000 catties of ginseng with hairpins, and 5,000 beauties, and send them within three months, otherwise Ben Khan will lead a million male divisions to break through Hanyang."
Burst......
Chongzhen almost died of laughter, Huang Taiji's cowhide magic skills are getting more and more powerful, millions of male masters? Did he give birth?
But?
Chongzhen knew that although Huang Taiji couldn't get a million heroes, he still had 10,000 heavy cavalry.
With North Korea's little national strength, coupled with the lax martial arts of North Korea, it will definitely not be an opponent.
And 200,000 stone of grain, 100,000 livestock, 10,000 catties of ginseng the thickness of hairpins, 5,000 beauties, so many things are taken out, and North Korea will definitely break its muscles and bones.
Moreover......
Chongzhen pities the beauty the most.
North Korea has produced beautiful women since ancient times, how can these beautiful women be cheap Huang Taiji? They should all enter my harem and enjoy the glory and wealth.
Chongzhen didn't finish his meal.
He hurriedly sent Cao Huachun and ordered Cao Huachun to quickly lead Cao's army to North Korea.
……
Time passed.
The climate is still not warming.
Pedestrians on the road cursed the ghost weather while tightly wrapping their cotton jackets.
The civil officials in the court even soak in the Xianggong Mansion all day long and don't come out, as long as they go to the court, they will go to patronize the Xianggong in groups.
Even the business with various brothels has been depressed a lot, and many flower girls and prostitutes have lost their jobs.
Originally......
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been laws prohibiting officials from prostituting prostitutes, but they have not been strictly enforced.
Now Chongzhen has reiterated this decree again, and has severely arrested a wave of shameless civil officials who have prostituted prostitutes, and finally put a stop to this unhealthy trend.
Merely?
These civil officials have always been used to profligacy, even if there are dozens of concubines in the family, they have to go out to make waves.
If you don't wave it for a day, your skin will itch.
It's not ......
You can't prostitute prostitutes, let's find the prime minister, right? You're a big tyrant, you can't even care about us looking for a good man, right?
Chongzhen sighed.
He is already powerless against the shamelessness of the civil officials, if they are forbidden to look for the prime minister today, will they not go to the animals tomorrow?
Never mind......
Let them go.
Daming money village finally opened as scheduled, Chongzhen's Daming money village to the capital as the center, to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and southeast coastal areas to radiate.
In particularly barren and disaster-prone areas such as the northwest, Chongzhen did not open a money bank for the time being.
The so-called money is easy to do.
Chongzhen's five million taels of silver, plus some silver taken out by the treasury deduction and search, quickly made the money village decent.
The money village in the capital was built on Suzaku Street, Chongzhen decorated it with modern aesthetics, and decorated the money village magnificently, so that the people could trust it at a glance.
On this day......
Chongzhen disguised himself as Tian Ergeng again, and took hundreds of wolf-like brocade guards, ready to go to the newly opened money village to have a look.
Jin Yiwei travels.
The pedestrians on the street ran away in an instant, and when Chongzhen came to the bank, the shopkeeper and the handymen in the bank hurriedly came out to kneel to greet him, and Cheng Qingfeng was also there.
Cheng Qingfeng made a big salute to Chongzhen, "The next official Cheng Qingfeng has seen Lord Tian." ”
Chongzhen nodded, "Master Cheng has just taken office as the head of the Ministry of Works, so he can be so diligent, he is really a model for the officials of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Cheng Qingfeng said modestly.
"Master Tian Miao praise, the lower official was originally a guilty body, thanks to His Majesty the Emperor to be able to avenge the grievances, the lower official has no long body, only a loyalty to the country, so if the lower official is not diligent, how can he be worthy of His Majesty the Emperor?"
Chongzhen patted Cheng Qingfeng on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Work hard, maybe His Majesty the Emperor will continue to give you an official position!" ”
After that......
Chongzhen took the brocade guard into the inside of the money village and checked the treasury and accounts of the money village.
Chongzhen found that most of the people who came to the bank to save money were ordinary people, and the amount they saved each time was only three or five taels of silver.
Chongzhen knows.
The officials of the entire capital plus the rich households are at least 70 million taels of silver!
These garbage officials and rich people are simply unethic, see how I deal with them?
