At the end of the first month, after the representatives of Gaodi, the governor of Liaodong, and Nurhachi signed an armistice agreement in Ningyuan City, which had little effect for the time being, they immediately sent the agreement to Beijing and described it in detail. This agreement is a peace agreement from the front, the two sides have demarcated each other's boundaries, that is, the north of Mobei belongs to the Jurchens, and the south of Ningyuan Pass belongs to the Ming Dynasty, once the ownership of the middle part is negotiated, the Jurchens and the Ming can become brothers.

But from the negative side, this is also a challenge book, everyone understands that the ground of Liaodong is a place where both sides must fight, it is impossible for the Jurchens to go north of Mobei to gnaw sand, and it is impossible for the Ming court to give up the rich land of Liaodong.

Everyone in the Military Affairs Yuan also understood that this was just a delaying tactic for both sides to lose face, and they were not very happy, but became very interested in the battle process. After careful analysis of the detailed battle situation, everyone determined that the inherent strength of the Ming army in defending the city had not been lost, and that there was still a big gap between the field battle and the Jurchens, and there was still a lot to be done to narrow the gap between the two sides.

When Yang Gongchun sent the analysis report of the Military Affairs Institute to Tianqi, Tianqi was planning to do business with the people in his inner tent room, and the members of the inner tent room were many of the women who were appointed as the servants of Tianqi. When these women were first selected, they said that their specialties were the first and the most beautiful second, they can be said to be one of the best accounting experts in the palace, they are each responsible for a piece, some are in charge of the accounts of the infrastructure, some are in charge of the accounts of the operating budget, some are in charge of the record and coordination of special extra-budgetary situations, some are in charge of personnel, some are in charge of materials, and some are very satisfied.

In terms of price, Apocalypse requires the person in charge of the price to compare the predetermined price with the market price, and if the budget price is high, it is to use the price advantage and quality advantage plus the brand advantage to occupy the market. Because the apocalypse once heard a story that there was an emperor who made people patch his clothes in order to take the lead in frugality, who knew that the people in the palace would put a patch on his clothes, even if it was twenty taels of silver, what an expensive patch! Apocalypse can't let people make jokes about themselves.

When he read the report of the Military Affairs Academy, Tianqi frowned, and Sanlang next to him asked, "Your Majesty, are you worried about anything?" ”

Among the twelve candidates, Liu Sanlang and Zhang Chunying are the internal candidates, they don't know much about how to settle accounts, generally speaking, the business level of the people who come in through the back door is not guaranteed, it has been like this throughout the ages, but it is not superfluous for them to talk to the apocalypse and the queen when they have nothing to do.

Seeing Sanlang asking himself the apocalypse, he said: "The soldiers in front held Ningyuan, and the Jurchens retreated." ”

The queen smiled at this time: "This is a good thing, doesn't the emperor like the Jurchens to withdraw from the army?" ”

Tianqi said: "That's not the case, the practice of the Ming army, even if you are not defeated, even if you win the battle, you will be rewarded for the victory, I am now short of money, where is the money to be rewarded?" ”

The queen nodded and said: "This is not rewarded, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers, and it is really a headache to reward and not be able to get the money." ”

San Lang said beside him: "No, Your Majesty, this army is the army of the imperial court and not the emperor's personal bodyguard, why do you want the emperor to take money?" ”

Apocalypse smiled, pulled Sanlang over, sniffed her hair, and said, "You smelled like this last night, and you didn't change a pollen liniment today?" And why didn't you wear the jewelry on your head? ”

Sanlang saw that he was talking about himself, and said puzzledly: "The concubine is too lazy to change it every day, and besides, what does this have to do with the army's reward?" ”

Tianqi said: "The pollen jewelry money spent on the concubines and palace maids in the palace costs hundreds of thousands of taels every year, which was originally used to reward the soldiers in front, do you say it matters?" Now the imperial court has no money, and the difference of 5 million in the share household department was borrowed from me a while ago, and they will definitely ask me for it if they have no money. ”

The queen smiled at this time: "The last time the household borrowed money, they didn't pay it back, and the emperor is not afraid that they will repay the debt again?" ”

Tianqi said: "Don't be afraid this time, because this is the share money, and they haven't paid off the dividends they shared every year before." After saying that, he laughed a few times.

At this moment, Yang Gongchun ran in excitedly and said: "Your Majesty, great joy! The Military Affairs Yuan has just received an urgent report from the front of 600 miles, and our Ming soldiers have annihilated more than 20,000 enemies near Nanguan and captured 20,000 war horses! Congratulations to the Emperor! Congratulations to the Emperor! ”

Apocalypse was surprised and asked, "Really?" It's not fake news from them, is it? But even fake news sounds fun! After speaking, he laughed a few times.

Yang Gongchun said: "Who dares to cheat on such a big thing? Lord Sun, they are still preparing to congratulate the emperor. ”

When Tianqi heard this, he hurriedly said: "Let's go, go to the Military Affairs Institute to hear the details, this time I will go out and give a big reward!" After speaking, he raised his feet and walked towards the Wuying Palace.

After receiving the congratulations from the ministers in the Military Affairs Yuan, Tianqi asked everyone to sit down and talk about the details, at this time, King Xin, several assistant ministers of the Government Council and the three princes also came, and they were also excited to find out the truth and congratulate Tianqi on the good news. After some congratulations and a burst of praise between each other, everyone sat down to discuss what to do next, and talked about how to reward them.

Looking at the sad face of Zuo Guangdou, the new head of the household department, Tianqi asked, "Everyone is very happy, why is Zuo Shangshu suffering from a face?" ”

Zuo Guangdou squeezed out a smile and said, "Your Majesty, the minister was originally very happy, but when he heard everyone talk about the reward, he was worried. The household department is now only two million, and soon the day will start to immigrate as soon as the weather turns warm, there are still a few months before the summer grain is harvested, I don't know how to come up with this money, I wanted to borrow some money from the emperor, but I remembered that I had just borrowed five million from the emperor and was embarrassed to open my mouth again. ”

As soon as they heard that there was not enough money, everyone's faces immediately became weird, yes, money is something that hurts feelings, and when it comes to money, they are not affectionate.

At this time, King Rui said: "Can you not reward money?" Reward each of them with a flying fish suit, which is both beautiful and majestic, and they should be very satisfied. ”

Sun Chengzong frowned when he heard this: "This flying fish suit was originally used to reward people, and you can consider rewarding it, but the pension silver of the families of the deceased soldiers cannot be saved, and the medical care silver of the disabled cannot be saved. ”

Apocalypse said: "A while ago, I asked everyone to contribute money to shares, which really squeezed everyone's pockets, but there will be profits immediately." A lot of roads have been repaired, and many markets have begun to take shape, and when the money banks around the country are repaired and start lending, the happy days when everyone sits at home and counts the silver are coming! Now it's just a temporary difficulty, and it's over. ”

At this time, King Xin said: "Brother Huang, this far water can't quench your thirst, or really give them flying fish suits to settle down temporarily." ”

Tianqi said: "Since Uncle Wuwang, Mr. Sun, and King Xin talked about the Flying Fish Suit, I will say something about clothes and rewards, let's see how it goes." ”

King Hui said happily when he heard it: "Okay, the minister likes to listen to stories the most, so let the emperor tell it." ”

Tianqi said: "There is an emperor, I have forgotten which dynasty the emperor of the specific dynasty, he was also short of money when his army won the battle to be rewarded, he had no choice but to give the soldiers a very status of clothing, this dress is worn on the official level is very good, the soldiers are very happy to see this kind of clothes." But after a few days of being happy, I couldn't be happy, because the clothes couldn't be exchanged for money, so everyone still went to do what they should do, and they went home to farm, and they went home to farm, and they worked for others. ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at themselves, Tianqi continued: "It is said that there is a county order, and one day I took a lot of people to patrol the streets, and as soon as I walked out of the yamen, I saw many vendors setting up stalls at the yamen to sell things, and the people who bought things and the people who sold things were about to block the yamen. When the prefectural magistrate saw this, he was very angry, so he ordered his officials to drive the people away, so the officials shouted loudly for everyone to move the stalls. Everyone was packing up their things and preparing to move away, but there was a tall man sitting there without moving, the county magistrate was very angry and was ready to go and drive that person away in person, who knew that when he stepped forward, he saw that the person was wearing a first-class dress rewarded by the imperial court, what should you do if it was you? ”
