Chapter 509: I'm just going to block you
Emperor Chongzhen was also confused.
This routine is naturally very familiar, and it is the kind that is implanted in the depths of memory, and it is impossible to forget it at all.
Originally, the Lugou Bridge Incident in history was played like this, but fortunately, it was won in the next eight years, and the Japanese slaves did not succeed.
Otherwise, it would not be fifty-six nationalities, but it would be estimated that it would become fifty-seven.
The point is, who told Li Qizi and Zheng Zhilong to play like this? Can this routine be self-taught?
Then Emperor Chongzhen wondered if it was time for him to return to the capital.
Originally, I planned to take advantage of the opportunity to kill Huang Taiji to come to the Northeast to escape the heat, but the high temperature almost caused me a heat stroke.
And after Huang Taiji's death, Dolgon had already run away with Huang Taiji's little wife Bumu Butai, and Jiannu's family was basically ruined by Emperor Chongzhen, and he also robbed a fine light, and it was really a bit unreasonable to rely on Liaodong and not go back.
There are still a lot of things waiting to be dealt with in Daming, and it is impossible to throw a lot of time in Liaodong.
Then Emperor Chongzhen suddenly found himself very troubled.
This is only nine years of Chongzhen, as the national strength is getting stronger day by day, the Jiannu in the northeast is singing Liangliang, the Mongolian tribes in the north are no longer a problem, the North Korea in the east has been obedient like Sun Tzu, the Japanese country is playing the retreat and closing the country, Java in the south has also fallen into their own hands, and the vassal kings on Xinming Island are piled up, and they can get together a few tables of mahjong.
Even getting Nurkandus completely in his hands is just around the corner.
What about the enemy? Looking around, who else is qualified to worry about him?
Invincible is a kind of loneliness, lonely as snow.
Emperor Chongzhen felt that he was awesome enough, and he should treat himself well after returning to Beijing - for example, how many gardens should he repair? Get a few more beautiful little girls into the palace and have fun?
The emperor, eating more, taking more money, marrying more daughters-in-law, and having more children is the most basic responsibility, otherwise he is not a qualified emperor.
If you don't find a few little girls, the queen of the harem will make trouble, the ministers in the court will also make trouble, and the people will be dissatisfied.
In short, it's really hard to be an emperor who satisfies everyone!
Of course, being an emperor is not without its benefits.
For example, when he returned to Beijing this time, Emperor Chongzhen could willfully throw down hundreds of thousands of troops and run to the capital with thousands of elite horses.
It's just that he just returned to the capital, and before he had time to have fun in the harem, someone came to trouble Emperor Chongzhen.
Emperor Chongzhen was very happy when he was in Liaodong, and the cannonballs were smashed and the city of Shenyang was razed alive by cannonballs.
Guo Yunhou in the capital was very unhappy.
Do you want to buy cannonballs for money? This time, the emperor personally conquered Liaodong and returned victorious, do those soldiers want to be rewarded? Do you want to spend money on the reward?
Then Guo Lao picked up his face with a black face, and asked to see Emperor Chongzhen with a stomach full of resentment, and after seeing the ceremony, he directly arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, there is no money left in this treasury?" ”
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Guo Yunhou with a look of teasing expression: "Why did Guo Aiqing say this?" What about Chongzhen's nine years of taxes? ”
Guo Yunhou said expressionlessly: "Chongzhen's nine years of endowment, many lands have been exempted by His Majesty, as for the tax, the spring tax is basically spent, the autumn tax has not been collected, and it is estimated that it will take two months to escort to Beijing."
In other words, during these two months, the treasury was basically empty.
As for where the money was spent, the minister thought that His Majesty could ask the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the War Bureau, which would serve as a supervisor, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Communications and many other yamen. ”
When Guo Yunhou mentioned the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Ministry of Railways, Emperor Chongzhen's rare old face turned red, although he couldn't see the red.
Needless to say, the Ministry of Railways is a gold-swallowing monster, and the amount of silver in the treasury is not enough for it to smash, and it will have to be smashed for at least a few decades.
As for the cost recovery, it is not a problem at all to describe it as far away.
Unless the household registration system is abolished now, and the people are allowed to move at will.
However, in order to achieve some ulterior purposes, Emperor Chongzhen kept shouting that he strictly adhered to the ancestral teachings.
If you want to change this article, you have to pull the skin for at least a long time.
Moreover, Guo Yunhou's first name was not the Ministry of Railways, but the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, which shows that the bulk of the expenditure this time is still on the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.
But it's no wonder that others, in order to play the personal conquest of Liaodong as a red alert, Emperor Chongzhen specially issued an order to demand the maximum supply of flowering bombs.
Although it can't reach the level of 10,000 taels of gold when a cannon goes off, the cost price of each shell is 35 taels of silver, right?
As far as Emperor Chongzhen specially erected artillery outside Shenyang City to bombard the city wall, 10,000 taels of silver a day is really not too much.
Not to mention, there are also simple versions of goodies such as grenades and explosives packs, which are also available openly.
Even if you don't count the ammunition that Liaodong has already fired, the inventory alone is enough to wipe Shenyang City off the map ten times or eight times.
This time, Guo Yunhou chose to ask for a meeting before the court meeting, also to give Emperor Chongzhen a preventive shot - the treasury is out of money, so take it easy.
Emperor Chongzhen rubbed his temples and asked, "Then what does Guo Aiqing think?" ”
Guo Yunhou said tentatively: "Your Majesty, Liaodong has been pacified, can this railway be repaired after a while?"
Judging from the current treasury revenues and expenditures, it is better to repair the railroad in the south first, and then repair the railway in Liaodong? And the one to the northwest, why don't you stop first? ”
Guo Yunhou's temptation directly poked at an indescribable point of Emperor Chongzhen, and directly refused: "No! The construction of the railway, no matter how tense it is, cannot be stopped!
This commercial tax is getting more and more year by year, and so is the tax revenue from the customs, and it is a matter of time before there is a surplus in the treasury, and now the construction of the railway is delayed, and it will be even more troublesome in the future! ”
Guo Yun said thickly: "Your Majesty, if the railway does not stop, even the reward after the army returns will become a problem!" ”
Emperor Chongzhen also knew that he didn't have a lot to spend, after all, it was not Arbor Day, and Lao Guo, the head of the household, was troubled by this bear, and a large part of the reason was because of himself.
However, there is money in the pocket!
The treasury belongs to the treasury, and the treasury belongs to the interior, and these two directions are very clear.
Those corrupt officials who robbed their homes, where did the money from the robberies go?
The answer is that most of the property of these guys went to the treasury, and some of it went to the treasury of Emperor Chongzhen.
Another example is those vassal kings who ran to Xinming Island, which one of them was not scraped by Emperor Chongzhen before running away?
This part does not go into the treasury, but all of it goes into the internal treasury of Emperor Chongzhen.
There are also the crazy Fushou ointment and poisonous salt sold in the grassland, Liaodong, Waguo and other places before, plus the high degree of sweet potato burning, but all this silver has gone into the internal treasury, and the treasury has not received a single penny.
In this case, it is normal for the treasury to run out of money, but there is money in the treasury, and it is a steady stream of money flowing into the treasury.
Even if natural disasters continue to cost and the Royal Academy spends a lot of money, it still can't cover up the fact that there is a lot of money in the inner money.
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen had to take out his internal money for emergency when Guo Yunhou made it clear that the treasury was empty enough to run mice: "This time, all the rewards should be made by the internal money, Guo Aiqing is not worried, right?"
In addition, I took out another 10 million taels of silver from the treasury and lent it to the treasury temporarily, Guo Aiqing may be relieved? ”
Knock on the code!
Guo Yunhou's mood is like this now, if it weren't for the dog's life, Guo Yunhou would have wanted to scold in front of Emperor Chongzhen.
Ten million taels?
That's right, 10 million taels of silver seems to be a lot of people, and there are a lot of things that can be done, but in the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, 10 million taels of silver is a thousand yuan for a large private family, which is about one tael of silver.
The poor must think it's a lot, but it's really useless.
Can you build roads? Can you build bridges? Can it be used as a reward? Even the salaries of officials up and down in the Ming Dynasty had to be millions of taels.
In other words, the 10 million taels that Emperor Chongzhen took out was just to allow the household department to pay two months' salary to the big guys normally, as for the rest, hehe!
Guo Yunhou, who was eager to scold, had no choice but to thank Emperor Chongzhen first, and then went out of the palace.
Don't care what, it's not bad to get 10 million taels of silver, save some more, and finally survive until the autumn tax revenue, and if you pick the door a little more, it will be enough until the end of the year.
On the first day of October in the ninth year of Chongzhen, the court will meet.
How Emperor Chongzhen looks at the Forbidden City now, especially after there are no more crooked ghost paintings on all the palaces, Emperor Chongzhen's mood is even better.
After the ministers finished their Majesty's salute, Emperor Chongzhen tilted his head slightly and ordered: "Declare the decree." ”
Wang Chengen bowed down to answer, casually took the holy decree held by the little eunuch next to him, unfolded it and read it aloud: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says:
Emperor Gao of the former Ming Dynasty, Long Fei Huaidian, Xun swept the district, reached Yuyuan in the east, Kunlun in the west, crossed the south in the south, and Chaohai in the north. The sound of benevolence and righteousness, the shock of Liuhe, the kiss is cool and dim, and the salty world is bright.
The chief of Jiannunu, Nurha, betrayed the master in vain, and raised swords and soldiers in Liaodong, the sky changed from above without fear, and the earthquake was not afraid from below, and the disaster was extended to the sky and the text was wrong, and the locusts flew to cover the sky without cultivating virtue, and Yi Nai slaughtered Liaodong, and the prostitution was excessive, and the disaster was everywhere, and the people were harmed.
I am chong ling, inheriting the unification, but ruling the world with literature, and fighting chaos with force. It is the spirit of the Hetian Heaven and Earth Sect, defeated and conquered, smashed it in Shenyang, drove it in Liaoyang, and fiberized it in Jianzhou, and fought three wars and leveled slaves.
I then stationed in Shenyang, and the whole division entered the city, and in the autumn there was no crime, and I asked him to return. It is obtained from all those who surrender to slaves, such as Tong, Ma, Luo, Li and others, and cast iron statues in front of the martyrs' shrine for the latter.
In addition, the establishment of slaves, the people are hopeful, I am not sensitive, and I should also benefit the world, and its order:
Fengtian conquest soldiers, from my conquest, perseverance, wind and rain, loyalty and hard work, repeated victories, Yifu success, hard work. Jane is in my heart, it is advisable to quickly discuss the merit and reward, and use the remuneration before the work.
Since the 11th day of the eighth month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the uncaught taxes and taxes of the provinces have been exempted from them, no matter how small. Those who dare to persecute the people with them will be punished.
Since the 11th day of August in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, officials, soldiers, and civilians have committed crimes, except for plotting rebellion, murdering grandparents, parents, wives and concubines killing husbands, slaves and maids killing their masters, murdering, killing people, killing people with poison, and seeing the mention of adultery and evil, the rest have been found but not discovered, and the crimes are not settled, and the crimes are no matter how big or small. Whoever dares to forgive the past will be guilty of his sins.
Widows and widows are lonely, and there is a division to save according to the rules, so as not to lose their place. Those who are over 70 years old, and those who are disabled and disabled, will be given ten taels of silver each, and those who are hungry and cold and cannot survive on their own, and the officials will give them relief.
Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong, Beiping, and Huaibei migrated households, each according to their wishes, and those who went to Liaodong were given 100 acres of Yongye field, and the seeds and cattle were shared, and the official was paid.
The township school, county school, and state school in Liaodong are still opened according to the system, and they will not be abolished.
Abandoned land, except for some people who planted and paid grain, no one planted the wasteland, and the division was clear, and it was distributed after it was nationalized, so as not to abandon the land and damage the people.
Yu play! Emperor Wen entered the Han Dynasty, the style of frugality, the king of martial arts, Shao Zhou, is willing to be benevolent. Announce to the world, and its body will be cherished. ”
After a long decree was read, all the ministers in the court knelt on the ground and shouted long live.
No matter how shameless this will is, if you don't hold Emperor Chongzhen well at this time, it is estimated that the future will not be easy.
After all, it is not easy for Emperor Chongzhen to remember a courtier who has a whisker and a horse, but it is very simple to remember a contrarian.
And what Emperor Chongzhen has done since he ascended the throne is to announce to the world that this is a typical son of the Han family, and he is very slippery in playing the old Liu family.
Especially when he returned with the power of victory, at this time, he was against his old man, what is it that he is not looking for death?
As for the words in Emperor Chongzhen's will, just listen to it, no one has to take it too seriously, don't believe it, ask the one on the dragon chair, does he believe these?
Autumn didn't commit any crimes?
That's right, Shenyang City has been completely turned into ruins, and not even a single panting child has survived, who else is going to do it?
Ask for it to be raped back?
That's right, Amin and Mang Gultai asked Dolgon for it under the city of Jianzhou, and Dolgon handed it over very obediently.
Taxes before the Apocalypse?
Even if your old man is not exempted, I haven't seen much of it back for many years, so I can still get a good place if I am exempted, right?
A criminal seven years before the apocalypse?
The damned ones are all dead, and the rest are all non-lethal crimes, and they are all thrown into the hands of Hong Chengchou, who is about to lack people and go crazy, and the speed of railway construction can be improved, right?
The most painful thing is that the holy decree says that the wasteland is abandoned and re-taken and then distributed after understanding, which is simply disgusting!
How many people were there when the Ming Dynasty was founded? How many people are there now? Not to mention that the master on the dragon chair also issued an edict to encourage childbirth.
In this case, can there still be abandoned land?
Looking at the expressions of the hundreds of officials in the hall, Emperor Chongzhen sneered in his heart.
That's right, I'm just going to block you and bite me?
