"Liu Aiqing, I just heard you say that there is not enough military food in Dalinghe City, and you have purchased 200,000 stone of military food to replenish military supplies, yes or no?" Chongzhen asked.

"If you go back to the emperor, it's exactly." Liu Renyu replied.

"Destroying the family and relieving the difficulties, but Liu Aiqing's loyalty and righteousness, can show Liu Aiqing's loyalty to the country, but fighting with Jiannu is a national war, not Liu Aiqing's business, Aiqing also has a wife and children to take care of, 200,000 stone grain is not a small amount, I will definitely not let Aiqing suffer. Where is Dochiro? Chongzhen asked loudly.

Seeing that the emperor was calling him, he took a few steps forward and said, "The minister is here." ”

"At today's market price, how much does a stone of grain cost?" Chongzhen asked.

Bi Ziyan felt that this question was difficult to answer, because the price of grain was different all over the country, Shaanxi was in the midst of a famine, and the price of rice was as high as four taels of silver and one stone, and the price of rice in other places was also very different.

Moreover, the emperor asked himself this question at this time, and made it clear that he wanted to make up the money for Liu Renyu to buy grain, so Bi Ziyan thought about it for a while, and then replied: "Your Majesty, at today's market price, one stone of grain costs one tael of silver. ”

Bi Ziyan knew that the emperor would definitely let the household department pay, so he simply said that the price of rice was lower, so as not to make the household department unable to pay for it.

Chongzhen actually didn't know very well what the price of rice was in various places, and he didn't even know what the price of grain in Jingshi was, so after listening to Bi Ziyan's words, he ordered a little, and there was nothing special to say.

"Liu Aiqing, I will not let the meritorious and loyal people suffer, the market price is one stone of rice and one tael of silver, Aiqing bought 200,000 stones, I gave 100,000 taels of silver from Da Nei, and then asked the household department to give you 100,000 taels, a total of 200,000 taels, I give you this money, it will be regarded as the court bought this batch of grain." Chongzhen smiled.

"Your Majesty, the minister........" When Liu Renyu heard this, he was about to say something.

Chongzhen didn't think about it, but he immediately cut off Liu Renyu's words, and said with a serious face: "Liu Aiqing, I know that you run a lot of industries, and you will definitely not lack money and food, but public and private must be clearly distinguished, this money for buying food, I let you take it, you just take it, don't shirk." ”

When Liu Renyu heard this, he felt that the emperor might have thought too much about his own consciousness, and he was actually ready to thank him, but since the emperor insisted on thinking so, he didn't want to defend himself, so let's just let his glorious and majestic image stay in the emperor's heart.

So Liu Renyu pretended to be very embarrassed, knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

"Well, Dujiro, can Tobe come up with 100,000 taels of silver?" Chongzhen turned his face and asked Bi Ziyan.

This Bi Ziyan saw that the emperor took out all the money in his private house, and said that he said that the household department had no money, which seemed inappropriate, but he said happily that he had money, but he was afraid that the emperor would think that the silver in the household treasury was piled up, in order to prevent the emperor from messing with the idea of the household department, Bi Ziyan pretended to be quite painful and said: "The minister works hard to find a way, and if you put it together, you may be able to squeeze out 100,000 taels of silver." ”

It sounded very frustrating, but Chongzhen also knew that the taxes were not easy to collect in these years, and the daily use of the government was extremely difficult, so he accepted this reality and didn't say anything.

"Liu Aiqing, after retiring from the dynasty, the money that Ouchi gave you is brought to you by Wang Chengen, and you can go to the household department to receive the money that the household department wants. Is the food you bought still in Dalinghe City? Chongzhen asked.

"If you go back to the emperor, yes." Liu Renyu replied.

"Dalinghe City is isolated in the westernmost part of the Liaoxi Corridor, it is an outpost to defend Jiannu, and there is often a danger of being besieged. By the way, Aiqing, you said earlier that Jiannu already has a cannon, yes or no? Chongzhen asked.

"If you go back to the emperor, it's exactly." Liu Renyu replied.

"Jiannu has always been known for being good at field warfare, and attacking cities is not their forte, but now they have artillery, and they are afraid that there is a way to attack fortifications. But fortunately, Aiqing has a reinforced concrete city wall that can resist the bombardment of Hongyi cannons, and even Jiannu doesn't have much to worry about if he has cannons.

Zu Dashou, Zhang Chundu has written an excerpt, saying that it is to strengthen the existing city in Liaodong, just use your reinforced concrete method, Aiqing also plans to build a military fort in Liaodong for this purpose, which is specially used to produce reinforced cement, right? Chongzhen asked.

"If you go back to the emperor, it's exactly." Liu Renyu replied.

"Liu Aiqing, build a factory in Liaodong, produce goods, and then sell them, but I won't give you money for your own livelihood." Chongzhen said with a smile.

"The emperor gave the minister the money before, the minister should not ask for it, and now the minister builds his own factory and makes money from this, this is his own business, how dare he let the court pay for it." Liu Renyu replied.

"Aiqing is sympathetic to the government, and I am very pleased. Sometimes, I really feel that Aiqing is sent by God, and it is really my blessing to be able to get a blessing like Aiqing! Chongzhen suddenly sighed for no reason.

When Liu Renyu heard this, his heart suddenly burst out for no reason, and he felt that the name of the Son of Heaven was really not called in vain, and he was really sent by God to help Daming.

"The emperor values the minister so much, the minister has nothing to say, the minister is willing to be the eagle dog under the emperor, and in this life, he is only willing to clear the universe for the emperor, sweep the four seas, and be a hero in the emperor's Lingyan Pavilion." Liu Renyu said impassionedly.

"Okay, Aiqing is so ambitious." Chongzhen first praised the festival, and then looked at Li Jiye, Yang Desheng, Zhang Tieniu, Sun Wuxi, Wang Zuojiao and other generals who were standing beside Liu Renyu, and Wen Yan asked: "Are you Liu Aiqing's right-hand men?" ”

Li Jiye and several other generals have been highly nervous in the main hall, and now when they heard the emperor ask them questions, they all knelt on the ground without saying a word, first kowtowed a few times, and then replied: "The little one is the lackey of General Liu's door." ”

"Don't be busy kowtowing, get up and talk, when I ask again, you just need to stand and reply, no need to kowtow anymore, and write it down?" Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Yes, yes......." Li Jiye and the others replied tremblingly.

"You will follow Liu Aiqing this time to make great contributions, after you have the merits of the division, you will be rewarded, and you will continue to fight bravely to kill the enemy in the future, make meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and seek a wealth for yourself, you can hear clearly?" Chongzhen admonished Li Jiye and others.

"Long live the holy decree that Grandpa said, and the little ones have written it down." Li Jiye and the others didn't kneel down again this time, but just replied respectfully.

"That's it, Mr. Wen, all the Jiannu prisoners who were imprisoned in the camp of the Five Cities Terracotta Division were taken to the West Street Market today and beheaded, and their heads were hung at the gates of various parts of the Beijing Division, and notices were posted to let the people know that our Ming Dynasty had won a great victory." Chongzhen ordered to Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet.

When Wen Tiren heard Chongzhen's words, he took a few steps and bowed down to answer: "The minister's order." ”

"Very good, today because of the great victory of the Daling River, I am anxious about all Aiqing Dynasty, so that all Aiqing is happy and happy. But when it comes to winning the battle, it's not enough for us to be happy, so you all follow me to the Taimiao and tell your ancestors about the great victory. ”

After Chongzhen said this, he said to Wang Chengen: "Set up the Taimiao, but I don't sit on the chariot, I walk." ”

Wang Chengen received the decree and said loudly: "The emperor has a decree to set up the temple." ”

Chongzhen waited until Wang Chengen finished announcing his will, then stepped down from the throne, and the ministers hurriedly knelt on the ground, waiting for the emperor to walk out of the door of the main hall, and then followed Chongzhen behind him according to his position and walked towards the Taimiao.

"Liu Aiqing, come forward and follow you." Chongzhen walked outside the hall and suddenly turned to Liu Renyu and said.

"Commandment." When Liu Renyu received the order, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and walked to Chongzhen's side.

"Let's go, follow me to the Taimiao Temple to report the victory to the emperors." After Chongzhen said this, he went straight to the Taimiao like a wind under his feet.

He walked so fast that a breeze lifted the corners of the imperial robe, revealing the inner lining, and Liu Renyu was shocked to find that the emperor's clothes were actually patched.

This is the emperor of the Ming Empire, and he is actually wearing patched clothes.

"Alas! You are a wise man, and your personal character is also very good among the emperors of the centralized dynasty, but it's a pity that you can't turn the tide by such a system, I can only make you happy a few more times, and what awaits you in the end is the point of no return! Liu Renyu sighed for a while and muttered secretly in his heart.

Taimiao is some feet away from the Huangji Palace, the emperor himself is young, far ahead, poor those old ministers, can't walk and dare not go, so they have to support each other to the Taimiao, and then the emperor entered the Taimiao alone, including Liu Renyu, the ministers were waiting outside the Taimiao.

After the emperor finished the sacrifice, he rewarded the ministers to eat wine and rice in the Wuying Palace.

Subsequently, Liu Renyu led his subordinates to eat wine and dinner in Wuying Palace.

After lunch, Liu Renyu and his subordinates resigned to Chongzhen, and then received 50,000 taels of silver from Wang Chengen, and 50,000 taels of silver from the household department. Then, Liu Renyu is not easy to say.

He took the money, and then took a group of subordinates who were still in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division out of the Beijing Division and went straight to his own military camp.

At this point, the battle of the Daling River was all over, and he could finally return to Shaanxi, so Liu Renyu shouted happily to everyone: "Go, I'll take you home." ”
