Zhu Xiaoyong had to admit that what Zhu Yujian said was very reasonable.

At the very least, after the compensation was paid, the dissatisfied looks on the faces of the people disappeared immediately, and they seemed to be still looking forward to themselves and others trampling again?

He is not a fool, and the vassal kings are not fools, and Zhu Yujian, who is like a human spirit, is even more unlikely to be a fool - if you lose money if you step on it once, what if you lose money the second time? Something that has already been stepped on a second time, and then lose money a second time?

After Zhu Yujian proved his theory, he planned to pretend to be forced in front of Zhu Xiaoyong, but before he could speak, he found that a guy dressed as a eunuch was crowded in the crowd.

Among the big eunuchs with names and surnames in the entire Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yujian thought that he knew almost the same, but the person in front of him had never seen him.

After arching his hand towards the eunuch, Zhu Yujian said curiously: "Who is this father-in-law?" ”

The eunuch smiled sadly: "The slave maid is the little eunuch Beijun in the palace of Concubine Yi, and she deserves the title of His Royal Highness the Tang King's father-in-law."

His Majesty was enjoying the singing and dancing in the palace of Concubine Yi, and heard someone report that it was that His Royal Highness had come to Beijing for a hunting trip and trampled on a lot of farmland, so His Majesty sent someone to spread a few words. ”

Zhu Yujian's heart suddenly suddenly, and he bowed down and said, "Yes, Zhu Yujian, the minister, respectfully listens to the holy oracle." ”

Bei Jun coughed and said: "The Tang King is not strict, and he allows the palace guards to trample on the farmland, and he will be fined for half a year and a fine of 1,000 taels of silver to compensate the people." ”

Zhu Yujian, who was a little dumbfounded, bowed down and said, "Minister Zhu Yujian, obey the order." ”

After straightening up, Zhu Yujian drew a jade pendant in his sleeve, and somehow it reached Beijun's hand, and said with a smile: "Just now, this king has ordered people to compensate the people, and he is also convinced of His Majesty's punishment. ”

Bei Jun touched the jade pendant in his hand, and suddenly smiled without his eyebrows, as if the sympathetic eunuch just now was another person: "Your Highness, rest assured, the slave will definitely reply to Your Majesty truthfully." ”

After Bei Jun left, Zhu Yujian turned his head to Zhu Xiaoyong and said, "How about it, I'm right, right?" As long as you compensate the people and let them have no complaints, who cares if you hunt every day, or if you think about taking a few side rooms back every day. ”

Zhu Xiaoyong said thoughtfully: "What King Tang said is extremely true. ”

Regarding the fact that Zhu Yujian was fined by Emperor Chongzhen for half a year and fined a thousand taels of silver after Zhu Yujian had already been compensated, no one actually paid attention to it.

When did the vassal king live on his fortune? A thousand taels of silver is considered a yarn? It's not like you're going to get it back in minutes.

However, Emperor Chongzhen's handling of Zhu Yujian also made the people present feel a trace of Emperor Chongzhen's temperament - as long as he didn't force the people to die, Emperor Chongzhen often had a great tolerance in other things.

So, how should you choose?

Is it based on the original wealth and building a fief from scratch? Or do you choose to find a mature overseas place to eat and wait for death?

This is a very critical issue - there are 100,000 clans, there are 100,000 ideas, and it is impossible to unify them at all.

But fortunately, although Emperor Chongzhen has been forcing everyone to replace their fiefs overseas, there is still no direct conclusion on where everyone will be replaced in the end, and there are still options for everything.

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about the thoughts of these clans at all now - wouldn't it be better to have this time to enjoy Concubine Yi's dancing posture?

As soon as Concubine Yi finished dancing, Beijun also hurried back, reported the reaction of Tang Wang and others to Emperor Chongzhen, and even explained truthfully that Zhu Yujian had given a piece of jade pendant.

Emperor Chongzhen smiled lightly and said, "That's it, since the jade pendant was rewarded by the Tang King, you can keep it." ”

After waving his hand and ordering Beijun to retreat, Emperor Chongzhen's face put another expression on his face, and he walked towards Concubine Yi, who was retreating step by step - Concubine Yi, who had just finished dancing and was sweating slightly, was so tempting......

Emperor Chongzhen, who was planning to prostitute himself during the day, finally failed to achieve his goal, and the news reported by Wang Chengen, who hurriedly came in outside the door, was like a basin of cold water, which made Emperor Chongzhen's heart cold from the inside out.

Zhejiang's rain, Qianmo into a huge immersion.

Theoretically speaking, all the places in the entire Ming Dynasty actually don't care much about natural disasters, especially this kind of heavy rain, which has little impact.

Even if there is not a grain of grain in the next year, there is no need to worry, because the grain in the standing and reserve warehouses in various places is not prepared in vain.

But can Zhejiang and Fujian be the same as other parts of the Ming Dynasty?

Other areas suffer from disasters or something, it is nothing more than the loss of some food, and it doesn't matter if you pay for this bit of money yourself.

However, Zhejiang and Fujian are still important tea-producing areas!

Tea is such a thing, to put it mildly, it is brewed and drunk, it doesn't matter if you have it or not, you have to live the same life anyway.

To put it mildly, this thing is an important strategic export material!

What is the use of it other than drinking? But others have real money to buy it, and then the silver will flow into the wallet of Emperor Chongzhen's family through various channels, which is very important!

In order not to let his wives have no money to buy rouge gouache, Emperor Chongzhen even gave up Concubine Yi, ran away in a hurry, and by the way, he also ordered someone to summon Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou.

When Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou saw Emperor Chongzhen, their expressions were also quite solemn - the two of them also received the news about the disaster in Zhejiang, and they were planning to report to Emperor Chongzhen.

As soon as he saw the expressions on the faces of Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou, Emperor Chongzhen knew that these two guys had also received information, and they were upset.

Waving his hand to stop the two saluting, Emperor Chongzhen sat on the chair before ordering: "Go and move the chairs for Wen Aiqing and Guo Aiqing, and rest first." ”

After Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou thanked him, Emperor Chongzhen pointed to the music on the table and said, "The two Aiqing also got the news, right?" ”

Wen Tiren bowed down and said: "Yes, the news from the Zhejiang political envoy eight hundred miles in an urgent manner, Zhejiang's continuous heavy rain, the fields have been soaked, and the mountainous areas may be better, but the loss is also great." ”

Emperor Chongzhen rubbed his forehead and said: "First order Zhejiang to make every effort to help the people, do a good job in the aftermath, and ensure that the people's lives are not a problem, let alone any chaos." ”

After Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou bowed together, Guo Yunhou pondered and said, "Your Majesty, what about next year's taxes?" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his heart became even more annoyed.

It's all like this, how can I expect next year's taxes, and it's good if I don't let me take out the silver to post it upside down!

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen also understood what Guo Yunhou meant - should the taxes in Zhejiang be exempted?

After thinking about it for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen said quite painfully: "All the places affected by the disaster, Chongzhen's thirteen years of civil taxes will be exempted, and the commercial tax will be halved." ”

Emperor Chongzhen was distressed, his own internal money, and he lost a lot of income next year - although he never seemed to have received any silver in the Minfu, but no matter how small the mosquito's legs are, it is also meat!

And since he ascended the throne, it seems that there has not been a year when he can collect the people's taxes properly - every year there are different disasters in different places, and then he will be exempted from taxes and tax reductions!

Even if you give birth to a son or a daughter, you are exempt from the people's endowment?

Emperor Chongzhen, who was so defeated that he was distressed, decided not to do anything, and then lose!

"The Ministry of Labor was ordered to send personnel to work with the local government to help the affected people rebuild their houses, and let the guards leave the people, and the cost was shared by the state treasury, the internal treasury, and the local government.

Where the disaster is affected, the people over the age of 60 will be given 10 stones of rice, 10 taels of silver, and those under 60 years old will be given 5 stones of rice, which will be paid by the Shaofu. ”

Emperor Chongzhen, who decided to bleed, had a murderous meaning in his next words: "Go back and tell the officials below that you are usually greedy for a little silver, and I can treat it as if I didn't see it."

But no matter who dares to do it when the people are affected, I will deal with it according to the law of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou shivered in unison and bowed together.

Emperor Chongzhen's mouth is disposed of according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, which is definitely the kind of skin and grass that is more than sixty taels, and then implicates the three clans after adding various names.

After Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou retreated, Emperor Chongzhen commanded again: "Order Cao Huachun and Xu Xianchun to come and see me." ”

Cao Huachun and Xu Xianchun, who also received the news, saluted respectfully after seeing Emperor Chongzhen, and stood aside with their hands down, waiting for Emperor Chongzhen's orders.

Sure enough, the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen's words was still as murderous as before: "The land of Zhejiang has been affected, there must be some bastards who are not honest, keep an eye on me, and arrest those who should be arrested, I will allow you to directly arrest people and return to prison, without any driving stickers!" ”

After Cao Huachun and Xu Xianchun bowed together, they spoke: "Emperor, folk? ”

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said, "Don't worry about the affairs of the people for now, as long as you record it for me, someone will naturally deal with it." ”

Xu Xianchun bowed and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely sort out what should be seen and listened to and present to Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Chongzhen hummed at this time, got up and paced to the map.

Xu Xianchun is a good dog, and the obvious meaning of his words is to catch a few corrupt people out of the top tank, so that he can explain to the world - the emperor is a good emperor, and the corruption of officials made it rain to warn the Son of Heaven.

The problem is that from the time he ascended the throne to the present, the thirteen years of Chongzhen have been somewhat subsidy, and the rest of the time is almost no year and no disaster!

In fact, even Chongzhen has not stopped going anywhere for 12 years, and there is a major drought in Liangjing, Henan, Shandong and other places.

If it weren't for the fact that I had started the business of buying locusts a few years earlier, there would have been a locust plague or something in these places after the drought, and it would have been a real headache!

After all, no matter how dry the drought is, no matter how flooded the flood is, it will not really be a grain of harvest.

But the locust plague really has the ability to make the fields unharvested!

There are too many natural disasters of this kind, and God always warns, isn't it a bit too much to say?

Between the two choices of his own emperor and letting some officials die, Emperor Chongzhen, who was in pain, chose the latter path after thinking about it for a long time.

Let the officials die!

The great son of heaven who is extremely holy and loves the people like a son, and makes an edict against himself?

What a system!

Emperor Chongzhen, who had been stunned for a long time looking at the map, came back to his senses and sighed: "It's almost the New Year!" ”

Listening to Emperor Chongzhen's emotion, Cao Huachun and Xu Xianchun were a little confused.

Okay, why did you come out like this all of a sudden? Is Your Majesty planning to do something again?

Thinking that Emperor Chongzhen might be going to do something again, the hearts of the two of them couldn't help but feel a little excited-the emperor sighed in front of his two spy chiefs to do things, so what could be smaller?

It's just that Emperor Chongzhen's next words made both of them a little confused: "Nanyang Zhufanguo, how is it now?" ”

Jinyiwei's penetration of overseas is the largest, even greater than that of the East and West factories combined.

Hearing Emperor Chongzhen's question, Xu Xianchun bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, according to the reports of the previous two months, the Nanyang countries are still honest, and no one dares to jump out. ”

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said: "With such a large production area, and there are still good things like opium poppies, there must be people who have ill intentions towards my Daming, and it is impossible for no one to make trouble."

Ordered people to increase their efforts to see if anyone was dissatisfied with my Daming, or someone wanted to be disadvantageous to the current Nanyang Zhufan.

As the suzerain of all the worlds, I must ensure the safety of these Tibetan countries. ”

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen said this, Xu Xianchun understood.

It is estimated that this is to watch his family suffer a disaster, and he is not happy, and he plans to pick one or two from those small countries in Nanyang.

After pondering for a while, Xu Xianchun bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, although the Nanyang Zhufan is respectful to me, it is difficult to say about the domestic situation. ”

Emperor Chongzhen's face showed a look of great interest, and he smiled: "Let's talk about it." ”

Xu Xianchun said: "Your Majesty, most of the barbarians in Nanyang don't know how to educate, let alone talk about the way of monarchs and ministers, and sometimes kill the lord and seize the throne. ”

Emperor Chongzhen was immediately stunned by Xu Xianchun's shameless spirit.

There have been cases of killing the lord and seizing the throne, but it happened on the Java side, and the monkeys in the south really haven't heard of it.

Xu Xianchun was embarrassed, obviously there was nothing else to do: "Moreover, the Nanyang people do not know etiquette and religion, and it is even more common for countries to attack each other. ”

Emperor Chongzhen hummed and said, "Let the Jinyi Guard increase its efforts to infiltrate the countries of the South Seas, and I will know their movements." ”

After a pause, Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be explaining, or perhaps talking to himself: "In case these barbarians have two hearts, I can deal with it in advance." ”
