Tianjin is only more than 200 miles away from Beijing, and you can go back and forth in one day.

Shouhan's mansion in the capital division, the prevailing merchants, and several messengers sent by officials, nobles, and eunuchs who were close to Shouhan's private movements, constantly rode their horses and whips to gallop on this official road, and the stagecoach galloped end to end.

According to his speculation, the DPRK and China will inevitably cause a great chaos. According to what he knew about the urine of civil and military officials, it was strange that the court did not quarrel into a pot of porridge, and it was strange that all kinds of performances to impeach him did not stone him to death.

However, to his surprise, this letter to Emperor Chongzhen, which proposes to divide the land into the mu, pay the grain in one body, and levy various taxes and taxes, is like a 500-kilogram aviation high-explosive bomb thrown into a fish pond, and it has never blown up the water high.

However, in private, it is to blow up the mud far and near.

From the various news from the Beijing Division, it can be inferred that although the Beijing Division is not prosperous on the surface, there is an undercurrent in private. Chongzhen finally couldn't resist the great temptation of the blueprint depicted in this book, and convened important officials of the imperial court for a small discussion.

However, the ministers did not say a word about this plan, which seemed to be for the sake of the Ming court, but actually took away the food from the mouths of all vested interest groups.

Under Chongzhen's repeated urging, a minister finally opened his mouth to play the right game.

"Your Majesty, preferential treatment for scholars and gentry is the ancestral system formulated by Emperor Taizu Gao, how can it be abolished because of the lack of military salaries in the imperial court because of a paper document from Ning Yuanbo?"

"Emperor Shenzong also sent tax supervisors and mine supervisors to various places, and for a time the people in the sea were boiling. If His Majesty does this again, I am afraid that the people everywhere will rise up and merge with the Liukou, and the situation will be even more difficult to control. ”

"Ning Yuanbo trains troops to fight in the world, and the ministers are all admired. However, his actions are mainly domineering. Non-saint way, His Majesty is the king of benevolence and filial piety, how can he use the art of domineering? ”

The ministers were well aware that all the things that had been done in this article would be handled in this way, as long as a third of them were carried out. What kind of rogue, what kind of slave, what kind of natural disaster, it is not a problem. However, is that kind of big tomorrow still our big tomorrow?

We scholars want a great future, but the scholars and the emperor share the world and govern the world.

Instead of scholars, they also have to pay taxes on food and bear various obligations.

Looking at the impassioned faces of the ministers, Emperor Chongzhen was also tired for no reason. I wanted to send an order to transfer Li Shouhan to Beijing to argue with this group of ministers, but I didn't have the guts.

Last night, when Guozhang Zhou Kui entered the palace, he once said to him that if Ning Yuanbo entered Beijing, I was afraid that things would be even more difficult to clean up! Tens of thousands of troops will enter Beijing, what will they bring, what terrible situation will be uncontrollable, and the one who dares to pat his chest and vouch?

And those ministers under His Majesty Dan. The reason why they didn't dare to attack this guy who had been broken thousands of times in their hearts was precisely because these tens of thousands of tigers were controlled by Shouhan.

If it is an official army of the imperial court. Even if the other party is Yuan Chonghuan, they have a way to kill him, and it's a big deal to let him come up from the city in a hanging basket.

Never mind!

Let's not let this disaster star enter Beijing!

The emperor, ministers, and eunuchs all cursed secretly in their hearts.

So, a Ming edict was issued to Ning Yuanbo, who was stationed in Tianjin and organized the army to carry out a military attack on the Liaodong anti-thieves, and copied the various arguments above the court to him one by one. "Make it clear that it will be recited."

Since you have already stabbed the hornet's nest, you can simply play bigger and play more thoroughly! So, Shouhan once again used the Cron cannon to send out a series of heavy shells. In the article, the revenue of several customs duties is described with great fanfare, and the huge role played by these silvers in today's Liaodong battlefield and the battlefield of suppressing thieves. At the end of the article. In addition to building yì Chongzhen, "when this extraordinary world, we should use extraordinary means to do extraordinary things, and build extraordinary achievements." The article is very straightforward to say that today's success or failure does not lie in the temporary gains and losses of a city in Liaodong and the Central Plains, if the government decree can be smooth, and the tax revenue is sufficient, even if the front line is lost, thieves are rampant, and the country has money and grain in hand, it can also be peaceful. Liao thieves and thieves are the standard, and money and food are the foundation!

“…… And those who defend the law, so those who guard the land also, if the land of the ancestors is not guarded, how can they abide by the law of the ancestors? Can a husband keep the law of the ancestors, but not the land of the ancestors, or slightly change the law of the ancestors, but can keep the land of the ancestors, which is more important and which is more important?"

In addition to this big mouth that is enough to make the guys who brought out Zhu Yuanzhang's so-called ancestral system have a hot mouth, Shouhan is not afraid that there are not enough people he will offend.

"At present, the soldiers and guards are not enough, and the commanders and generals in various places are not enough to support the self-respect of the troops, and it is necessary to organize and train the new army."

Such a move made Chongzhen's heart ecstatic. originally thought that Ning Yuanbo would rely on soldiers, horses, money and food to plot misdeeds. But looking at it now, he almost offended the entire world in one fell swoop (of course, the people in the world in Chongzhen's eyes must not be those who farm, work, and contribute to the rich businessmen, they have no pen in their hands that can make a pen that can be passed down forever, and there is no knife handle that can kill people, only a thick black skin and calluses in one hand. What else are you talking about peeping into Dabao? Honestly give me coolies and money and food! I am the master of Zhongxing, and you are indispensable to the position of prince!

Not only Chongzhen alone began to carefully and prudently analyze the construction of Shouhan, but also many civil officials who represented the interests of the Jiangnan merchant group and were born in Donglin also looked for ways to benefit themselves and maximize their interests from various information from their hometowns.

There is no way, in the current situation, it seems that the emperor is determined to obey Li Shouhan's calamity to the country and democracy, and it is a question of how many people are missing. Since it is impossible to avoid such a situation, then try to reduce the blow to yourself as much as possible, and even profit from it. Didn't the Holy Prophet teach us, "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall" and "Those who know the times are handsome"?

In the past few years, with the backing of the Nanyue Army, Long Shengxing and other businesses and newspapers have been rampaging in Jiangnan, causing a lot of losses to the porcelain and weaving owners in Jiangnan. However, there were also many people who made a fortune in their business dealings with the Nanyue military system. For example, tea merchants, raw silk merchants, grain merchants.

While dumping grain, oilseeds, salt and various textiles, Longshengxing System is also buying raw materials such as raw silk and tea. When there were bursts of miserable cries from the weaving factories in various places, the silkworm farmers in western Zhejiang were absolutely happy, and the merchants in Nanzhong used a lot of silver dollars to buy raw silk, which directly raised the price of raw silk by more than two or three percent. Seeing that it was profitable, landlords everywhere turned the fertile land into mulberry forests.

For the sale of finished products on the one hand, and the purchase of raw materials and primary products on a large scale. At first, the behind-the-scenes bosses and financiers of Donglin were still very happy. Boatloads of finely woven dyed fabrics came, and boatloads of cotton yarn and grey fabrics were purchased, leaving a lot of profits for Jiangnan merchants. In order to seek huge profits, the genius Jiangnan businessmen even developed a business model that combines direct sales, consignment sales, and smuggling.

The ministers exchanged letters with each other, dissecting the interests and disadvantages, how to avoid the black, and seeking the greatest benefit for themselves in this coming great change.

The adults and gentlemen discussed in private, but the newspaper that Long prevailed controlled was not willing to be lonely. In several newspapers in Beijing and Nanjing, the full text of Uncle Ning Yuan's seal was published, and explanations were provided for those Shengdou people who listened to the gentlemen reading the newspaper in the teahouse. An ordinary little common man. A case study of how small shopkeepers, who live on the countryside and the city shopkeepers, paid their taxes under the new tax system. Whether the burden has increased or decreased compared to whether it has increased or decreased after the introduction of a whip law by the Minister of Gangneung.

It's not that I don't know, but after I forget it, there was an uproar in the teahouse.

Originally, I thought that Ning Yuanbo, like the Wanli Emperor in the mouth of the reader, would use Wang Anshi's method to exploit our small people. But I don't want to send us money! "You don't have to pay so much money and food, don't you just send us money?"

After listening to Mr. Storyteller singing and reading the newspaper at the village temple fair, some people secretly calculated in their hearts that if they really practiced Uncle Ning Yuan's law. There are really two things to do immediately, one is to set up an immortal tablet for Ning Yuanbo next to the tablet of the Heaven and Earth Monarch. The second is to go to the people of Heju to ask for the donated land back!

Although the document of Shouhan was like a slap in the face that made the entire imperial court system dizzy, after sobering up a little, although everyone had a headache, according to the groups they belonged to and the different interests of them, they began to look for the most beneficial part of the terms in this inscription.

For example. The eunuchs, led by Wang Chengen and Wang Dehua, were very eager to appreciate Ning Yuanbo's strategy of organizing and training a new army under the direct command of the emperor. In this part of the strategy, Shouhan even put forward that he was willing to repay all the materials and expenses needed for the training of this 30,000-strong new army, and sent personnel to assist the imperial court in training and recruitment. To defeat the Liaodong rebels. All supplies and trained troops were submitted to the emperor's command and dispatch. Of course, the so-called transfer under the command of the emperor is the eunuchs who are handed over to the imperial horse supervisor to command the transfer.

In this way, the eunuchs in the DPRK and China have much more say power.

For this matter, the Donglin Party of the Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty naturally would not allow him to happen, and the generals in various places would not agree. They are willing to train the new army, but if they do not transfer the use of materials and salaries, and hand over the command of the army to them, how can they agree? So, the minister in the court said gloomily, "Your Majesty, aren't you worried about leaving a divine army for your descendants?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the eunuchs were immediately silenced. Shence Army, what kind of team is that? It was the forbidden army that was in the hands of the eunuchs in the late Tang Dynasty. Several Li Tang emperors were all supported by eunuchs relying on the force of the Shence army.

However, the bigwigs in the court also took the pulse of Emperor Chongzhen, knowing the likes and dislikes of this son of heaven, if he is not allowed to achieve the goal of practicing his own military force, he is afraid that the court and the central government will set off a political tide again.

As a result, a compromise plan was first agreed upon by all parties. Recruit 10,000 recruits in Gyeonggi and Shandong, and subordinate them to the command of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and ask Ning Yuanbo to provide food and weapons and send personnel to organize training. After the Shenji Battalion and the 3,000 Battalion units were returned to the formation from Shandong, they were mixed with the above-mentioned troops.

This matter can be regarded as a matter of great joy to the court. The eunuchs mastered an armed force, and the ministers controlled the size of the new army, and at the same time made Ning Yuanbo bleed again. However, the next thing happened was to annoy the eunuchs and the adults of the military department.

In order to save the supply pressure and relieve the pressure on the already very tight finances of the Ming Dynasty, Shouhan even sent craftsmen and technicians from the Nanyue Army to the military production department of the Ming Dynasty to supervise the manufacture of gunpowder, armor, and weapons. Some craftsmen and managers who made gunpowder, weapons and armor were transferred from Nanzhong to manufacture the above-mentioned weapons together with the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, the clothing factory will also send some people to help organize the production of military uniforms in the Ming Dynasty.

Is this worth it?! Isn't this snatching food from the mouths of the lords of the military department and the eunuchs who manage the warehouse? The quality of your weapons and armor in Nanzhong is excellent, and the price is cheap. But everybody saw it. But if you send people to supervise and help improve production and reduce consumption, then what are we going to eat?

It must be known that Xu Guangqi Xiangguo personally supervised the manufacture of high-quality Lu Mi guns, known as the most ruthless and poisonous, and the cost of each one reached one hundred and fifty taels. And compared to the Rumi gun, it is also a Zambala gun with Ottoman blood. In fact, it is an upgraded version of the Ming Dynasty Lu Mi Gong, which has been transformed into a raised gun, and the maximum firing range can reach more than 400 steps, and the effective range has reached more than 200 steps (these numbers are in the 9th year of Yongzheng in the Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi to Yongzheng, Qianlong 51 years and Shen to Qianlong's recital, interested students to find it themselves. And the same flint hair is under the supervision of the famous corrupt official He Shen, and each one uses fifteen catties of leaf iron. Food, silver, one tael, three dollars, six cents and six cents. And the gun with a maximum range of more than 400 paces mentioned above, the most expensive cost is only six taels, and the lowest is two taels or eight dollars.

(You are a famous corrupt official, you are so rebellious, how can you face the audience with famous scientists and many Qing officials of the Ming Dynasty at this price?) Why don't you make an offer of one hundred and fifty taels with your master?! Well?! ）

The most offensive thing in Shouhan's reply is that he pointed out the reason for the rise of the Liukou, the root cause of which was the annexation of land, and then the gentry did not pay grain, which led to the excessive burden of the people. However, the source of money and food for the imperial court spread with the spread of natural disasters. The outcasts are getting smaller and smaller in their quest to survive. Therefore, if you want to completely calm the Liukou, return to the sea to calm down. The means are actually quite simple. As long as a holy decree is issued to the world, it is announced that the officials and gentry will pay grain and taxes as one. Then I thought that this holy decree would let the peasant army, which was mainly composed of Li Zicheng's camp, Luo Rucai's Cao camp, and Zhang Xianzhong's western camp, know that in less than half a year, the so-called millions of displaced people who were coerced by Li Zicheng and others would be scattered back to their hometowns. Li Zicheng and others, who are scattered in the party, will surrender themselves.

However, this text was undoubtedly ignored by the Chinese martial arts masters, the nobles, the eunuchs, and even Chongzhen himself. Just kidding, one errand to pay food? Where is the dignity and dignity of the imperial court? Do you want us to wait (I) be the same as you Li Shouhan? Can't you get your own money to pay taxes?

Many years later, young historians with a conscience commented on this period of history: "Under the principle of three points to resist the enemy and seven points to develop, I was encouraged by the rapid expansion of the strength of the Nanyue Army. Li Shouhan's ambitions at that time were already extremely inflated, and he tried in vain to control the military and even the economy of the Ming Dynasty without a fight, but his ambition was still insidious, and he actually did not hide it at all, and directly made a request to Chongzhen. ”

(Where is the foundation that pays us salaries, pays our authors, and helps promote the propaganda that turns Snow White and her stepmother's Apple into a digital product?) ）

As for the so-called construction of providing technology and management and supervising and transforming the military production in the Ming court system, it was unanimously and tacitly rejected by all factions in the DPRK and China. As a famous monarch of the dead country in history, Chongzhen understands very well that this so-called technical cooperation, borrowing chickens to lay eggs, and exchanging their own markets and resources for technology is extremely unreliable and extremely dangerous. At that time, I am afraid that Jiannu will be calmed, but the master of the dragon chair in the Qianqing Palace on the Huangji Palace will also be replaced.

This kind of thing was carried out by someone with great fanfare, using the already perfect industrial system of his own country to promote the so-called method of borrowing chickens and laying eggs. It is necessary to introduce other people's funds and technology to improve their own management level, so a large number of former enemies no longer carry military flags but come in with official bags.

However, the chickens were borrowed, but the original chicken cage of your own house also had to be provided to other people's chickens, and your own chickens, sorry, in order to feed other people's chickens well, you have to be patient. However, I have also eaten a lot of concentrate feed with super-national treatment. The also pulled to the ground, but I don't know how many eggs were left in the end?

Even Chongzhen knows that this is not reliable, but some people follow it like the Bible.

There are even ministers who praised Ning Yuanbo's mansion for having a prosperous Tang Dynasty style when the court was meeting, and his daughter's family could also lead the troops to fight, and I am afraid that she will not be a princess of Pingyang over time? In these words, a few poisoned arrows were released in a row, but fortunately they did not attract the attention of others.

At the end of the court discussion, the quarrel between the various factions was over, which was considered to balance their respective interests.

The imperial court officially issued an order to Ning Yuanbo and Li Shouhan, the great president of the aid and suppression, allowing him to implement his so-called idea of the integration of officials and gentry on errands and the payment of grain in Shandong, Denglai and other places for military use.

In the eyes of the bigwigs in the DPRK and China, Shandong and Denglai have either been plagued by locust droughts or chaotic people over the years, and now it is Abatai and the bandit Wang Ke, as well as Li Qingshan and other bandits who have turned the province upside down, and it has become a mess, so they simply let Li Shouhan toss it. It should be considered that he was allowed to raise food on the spot.

However, the bigwigs may have consciously forgotten that although Shandong is in chaos, there are several giant families that are not affected by the change of dynasty.

The news spread to Qufu, Zou County and other places, and the angry shouts and scolding could be heard from the courtyard walls in the Yansheng Mansion and Yasheng Mansion.

Li Shouhan, who was mentioned the most times in the scolding, couldn't hear these at this time. After receiving the decree of the imperial court, on the one hand, he forwarded it to his eldest son Li Huayu, who was staying in Jinan, and on the other hand, he urged the troops to prepare to go to Ningyuan. At the same time, the troops of the Nanyue Army, which were originally in Ningyuan, were ordered to evacuate the wounded to Tamna Island for rest and treatment. It has been operated by the Nanyue Army for a long time, and the facilities and equipment in all aspects are much better than those of Ningyuan.

When the news arrived in Ningyuan, it was quickly obtained by the Qing army lurking in Ningyuan City.

When the same news was learned by the commanders of the two opposing armies, they reacted in the same way.

Knowing that Li Shouhan ordered the Nanyue Army to evacuate the wounded in Ningyuan, Dolgon, who had been stationed at Songshan Fort for many days, was greatly calmed, "Thank God! Li Huamei's crazy woman and tigress are finally leaving! However, thinking of the days when Li Huamei survived under the fire regardless of the cost, Dolgon felt a chill in his back: his tens of thousands of people were almost defeated by thousands of Nanyue troops!

Shi Lang, who was stationed in Ningyuan and kept comforting Li Huamei to recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind, also fell to the ground with a stone in his heart after receiving this order.

"Thank God, Mazu Niangniang appeared to protect her. Our eldest lady is finally leaving. (To be continued......)
