Chapter 442: Chongzhen's Vision for Six Years

In response to the fact that Yu Zheng Zhihu was almost thrown into the sea as a result of Zheng Zhilong's order, the Governor's Office and the Military Department of the Five Armies studied it, and the final results were quickly notified to the South China Sea Fleet.

Zheng Zhilong's order was not clear, and he almost killed Zheng Zhihu with fifty rods; Zheng Zhihu, as a guerrilla general, used a knife to cut people, violating the military management regulations of the Ming Dynasty, and had an eighty rod.

As for the credit for killing Liu Xiang, it is lost. The credit given to the death by the barbarians in Penghu is still written into the merit book, and the reward should be the same.

The two brothers were beaten together, grinning but smirking, and then grabbed the unlucky Zheng Zhifeng and worked together to advise on how to write battle reports and summaries - this fucking hasn't written this thing before, and he has no experience.

And then the entire military system of the Ming Dynasty knew about the glorious deeds of these two teasers, and by the way, they knew that as a military commander, they would be beaten if they took the lead in slashing people.

At the same time, I also know how to deal with barbarians and pirates at sea.

After Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu's injuries healed, they first went to pay tribute to their original sworn brother Liu Xiang, and then continued to transport people and equipment to Xinming Island, and at the same time transported the coal and grain produced on Xinming Island back to Daming.

And then there was Emperor Chongzhen in the capital, looking at his almost empty inner house, he felt a little like crying without tears.

It's almost the end of the year, the treasury is empty, and the internal treasury is about to bottom out, if the money from selling Fushou paste and salt can't be shipped back before the end of the year, then Emperor Chongzhen is facing the situation that he can't give the year-end bonus to the ministers of civil and military affairs of the imperial court, the emperor's academy and the factory guards.

Then Emperor Chongzhen patted his head and told the people from the Ministry of Industry and the people from the Ministry of Household to continue to dig a pit for me, this time without burying people or digging wells, this time digging pits and piling snow into it to store water.

Chongzhen has been this virtue for five years, who knows what kind of bird Chongzhen will be in six years?

Xue Fengxiang and Guo Yunhou felt that Emperor Chongzhen might have persecution paranoia - this damn endless natural disaster since the Apocalypse was now at the end of Chongzhen's fifth year, and it should be stopped?

Emperor Chongzhen said that it doesn't matter if you don't stop, just prepare more anyway - I received a warning from God in my dream, saying that there are still too many bastard officials in the Ming Dynasty, and it won't stop too much in the next few decades.

As for the soil layer in winter, which is too hard to dig, Emperor Chongzhen said that he could let the barbarians dig a small pit, and then use explosives to blow it up, and then dig a larger pit again.

Barbarians, just give stuttering food and drink, no need to give money, and no need to give any money to burn and bury when you die, save trouble.

The pit began to be dug, and then another thing was placed on Emperor Chongzhen's desk - God doesn't give face, and it doesn't snow!

The Yellow River in the fifth year of Chongzhen has broken its embankment, just at the mouth of Mengjin, flooding hundreds of miles, and many people have suffered disasters.

According to this, Chongzhen's six years don't look like a death from lack of water, but in fact?

In the winter of Chongzhen's fifth year to the beginning of the year, it has been nearly a small year, and this snow has really not fallen.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was furious in his heart, was very helpless - to say that among the emperors of the past dynasties, he was also good to the people, and it was absolutely no problem to say that he was diligent and loved the people.

But what does it mean that you don't snow? It's not pleasing to the eye, isn't it?

Emperor Chongzhen studied in the traverser training center to make an appointment with Zhou Gong's daughter a few more times, and he didn't study hard when he was in class, and he didn't know anything about artificial snowfall, but this doesn't mean that Emperor Chongzhen is a little white who doesn't know anything.

What does it mean when it doesn't snow? The drought may be followed by a major drought, but locust plagues are even more fucked up.

In the summer of the third year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, locusts covered the sun, coming from the east to Chang'an, and the grass and trees were exhausted.

In the first year of Yongchun in the Tang Dynasty, there was a great drought in Guanzhong, locusts were plagued, and countless people died.

During the reign of Tang Dezong, the east is from the sea, the west is as far as the river, the locusts cover the sky, the grass and trees are not left, the fields are eaten, the people are hungry, and the locusts are hunted for food.

In April of the seventh year of Tianfu in the Later Jin Dynasty, all the states in Guanzhong were full of locusts, and there were seven or eight out of ten dead.

In the nineteenth year of the pseudo-Yuan Dynasty, the locusts ate the crops and plants, and the sun was covered, and the people and horses could not do it.

Then Emperor Chongzhen was more diligent in flipping through books after crossing over, and found a thing that made him very painful - the locust plague in the Qin and Han dynasties averaged once every eight years, four years for the two Song Dynasty, and two years for the pseudo-Yuan.

According to this law, is it time for Daming to do it once a year?

But soon, Emperor Chongzhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, from the time he crossed over to become the emperor to the end of Chongzhen's five years, it seems that it is almost six years, and it is not unheard of locusts to make trouble, but it is not too big.

Not only Emperor Chongzhen was on fire for the locust plague, but Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou were also on fire.

The other books are not about themselves, but Wen Tiren, as the first assistant of the cabinet, and Guo Yunhou, as the head of the household, can't get around this matter no matter what.

At the time of Lao Liu's house, Wen Tiren, who was equivalent to the prime minister, should commit suicide and apologize, and Guo Yunhou was the same.

Of course, since Song Zhenzong's teasing choice to ignore the locusts in the cold treatment method, the locust plague has become the wrath of the true locust god, and the prime minister and the head of the household do not need to take the blame or even commit suicide to apologize for this.

But the emperor had to make an edict for himself because he was so immoral that the heavens were angry and sent down a plague of locusts, saying that he knew that he was wrong, and he would definitely change it, and asked God to calm his anger.

But the problem is that it is someone else's emperor, not Emperor Chongzhen.

What routine is this master best at?

God is angry? That's definitely not because of me.

You think, I am the Son of Heaven, the son of God, there is nothing wrong with this, right?

I'm not a dumb tyrant, and there's nothing wrong with saying that I love the people like a son, right?

In that case, will God send a plague of locusts because of me?

But God still sent a plague of locusts, so why?

It must be because there are bastards among the ministers, they are digging the corners of the Ming Dynasty, abusing the people, and digging a pit for me to bury me.

Therefore, God has sent all kinds of disasters to remind me and the people that we must pay attention to those with bad intentions, and we must keep our eyes open and find out the small number of lawbreakers who want to ring the death knell for the Ming Dynasty.

Well, what your old man said really makes sense, and we are speechless.

The reason for Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou's headaches is also here.

Although no matter how angry Emperor Chongzhen is, no matter how much he catches those officials who intend to fight against Tianwei, it will not be the turn of the two of them, but in the end, it is certain that they will follow and eat melons.

Even Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou thought about going home, and then spending some money to operate and go to Xinming Island to buy a piece of land to play, which is good.

But this kind of thinking is just a matter of thinking about it, if anyone dares to do this at this time, the edict of Jinyiwei will say that the door of my house is always open, and I am waiting for you with open arms.

Then in the face of Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou's opinions on preventing locust plagues, Emperor Chongzhen said that it was very good and should be done like this.

Then let Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou figure out a way.

Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou said that it should be, it should be, and then there is still no good way.

Looking at Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou, Emperor Chongzhen said that he had a way: "Order the officials in all parts of the world to make it clear to the people, and if they find locusts, they will catch them, cook them and dry them, ten cents a catty, how much they will collect, and the silver will be taken out of the house." ”

Locusts, high protein, nutritious, a string of locusts only four, sold for five yuan, together for more than a piece.

It's a fucking black heart!

But there is no way, once it is hung with the two key points of good taste and high nutritional value, this thing has been eaten to the point that it needs to be artificially raised!

As for saying that the common people caught too much, Emperor Chongzhen said that it didn't matter.

In the famous historical reference material "Tang Bricks", it is said that Yun Ye, the prince of Chu State, crushed the dried locusts into powder, and then sold them to the army of the Tang Dynasty to eat, and then the army of the Tang Dynasty also said that this thing was really fragrant.

Do you need to eat locusts raw like Li Er's idiot? What else do you say, but when it erodes my heart, it harms the people.

Well, there are chickens and ducks or something, this thing can only be persuaded to be raised, there is no way to force it, it hurts.

But it doesn't matter, the government, persuading farmers to teach is their job, and there is nothing wrong with replacing them with chickens and ducks.

Then the officials of the Ming Dynasty received a painful notice - an official letter sent by the cabinet and the celebrant together, asking local officials to devote themselves to the action of persuading chickens and ducks now.

As for the reason, it seems very funny - there is not enough food, chickens and ducks come to make up, and these little things are rushed to the wild to eat small insects and horses, so there is no need to waste food.

Wen Tiren felt that he had even done such an unreliable thing, so he didn't care about doing something even more unreliable.

So Wen Tiren sold both Shuntianfu and Yingtianfu - praying for snow.

Emperor Chongzhen felt that there was nothing wrong, anyway, it was the Xiaoice River climate that was caused by the anger of God caused by these bastard things, so it was naturally up to them to ask for God's forgiveness.

Therefore, in December of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Shuntianfu and Yingtianfu had another job in addition to their own work - praying for snow.

Then the Taoist priests became fragrant and sweet - after all, this matter had to be discussed with the gods in the sky, and the Taoist priests had to do a ritual and convey everyone's meaning to the gods in the world.

As for the bald donkey, forget it, their boss is in the west, too far away from the Central Plains, and they can't be counted on.

Then Emperor Chongzhen found out that Qi Xue really fucking worked.

Just a few days after the matter of praying for snow in Shuntianfu and Yingtianfu, it has reached the first month of the sixth year of Chongzhen, and it has just passed a year without snow, and then the snow fell.

It's just that this snow is a bit big, even bigger than the snow when Chongzhen was five years old - more than two zhang deep.

How deep was the heavy snow in Chongzhen's fifth year? It's only four or five feet.

The heavy snow in the sixth year of Chongzhen directly doubled the value, and directly dried to a thickness of six or seven meters.

In other words, Emperor Chongzhen's family is no problem, after all, it is high enough, and the little eunuch who sweeps the snow does not dare to make the snowdrift so thick.

But except for Emperor Chongzhen's house, the capital was about to be buried by heavy snow.

Fortunately, Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou had already looked for Zhang Weixian when they found that the snow was four or five feet deep and had not stopped, and asked Emperor Chongzhen for his life, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp and the new army would clean up the snow first, otherwise they would be afraid that there would be a big mess.

Emperor Chongzhen immediately made a decision and said that it was okay to let the soldiers work for the people - the soldiers from the people still had to serve the people in the end.

Of course, if this snow can't get outside the city, it's over, isn't there a pit in the capital that stores water?

I get all the snow in it, and then compact it, the stronger it is, the better, preferably in water and then frozen into ice, and that's all it can be.

In case there is a big drought in the sixth year of Chongzhen, the stored water can also start to work, right?

Anyway, the coal used to burn the pot and melt the snow was transported from Xinming Island, and this thing is not distressed, so it can be burned casually.

Therefore, just a few days after the first month of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Chongzhen's five-year snow clearing action was staged again, which also made the people of the Ming Dynasty feel that the emperor was really good.

Then the people of the Ming Dynasty who were moved thought about how to send their children to the Beijing camp or the new army to serve in the army?

After all, it is definitely impossible to go wrong with such a great emperor who loves the people like a son.

After receiving the news from Jinyiwei, Emperor Chongzhen said that it was very good, the people had this kind of reaction, I was very happy, the more you are like this, the more I am willing to treat you better.

Then, just as the soldiers of the Beijing camp and the new army were fighting to clear the snow, the sun grew two ears.

The prisoner of Qin Tianjian was about to cry.

On the day His Majesty ascended the throne today, the enthronement ceremony had not yet ended, and his old man fainted because he missed the first emperor, so he was not clear about what happened later.

But Qin Tianjian did know about this—the emperor had just been sent back to the palace to rest, and in an instant, dark clouds covered the clear sky, followed by the rumbling of golden drums in the dark clouds.

The drums are ringing, the main soldier is Ge, this is the edict of the world's chaos, okay?

The question is, who dares to tell Emperor Chongzhen and his old man that the boss is dead!?

But fortunately, the emperor is in a daze, and when he wakes up, this matter is over, and Da Ming doesn't mention it.

But what does it mean that the sun now gives birth to two ears?

Qin Tianjian is feeling that his position is going to be bad, how can he explain it if His Majesty asks?

Could it be that he directly said that the eclipse of the sun, the invasion of yin and yang, is that the heavens are dissatisfied with His Majesty's rule, so he warns?

Qin Tianjian felt that the only consequence of his explanation was that he would lose his official position and resign, and then disappear someday inexplicably—the eagle dogs of the factory guards would not allow anyone to say such about His Majesty the Great Emperor in their hearts.

But fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen, who crossed over, didn't know that he was on the throne at all, and he didn't take the solar eclipse seriously - isn't the solar eclipse a common occurrence in later generations? How many times a year is normal and all the fuss about?
