Chapter 155: You Old Man Is Bad
"Father, why did you bring so many people to Huairen, it's not good to spend the New Year at home on such a cold day, is it that Jiang Huang's subordinates rebelled again?" Shen Yue said when he saw his father's old face blown dry by the cold wind.
"Lord Shen, has something happened in Datong?" Jiang Qianxi also asked nervously.
If there was a rebellion in Datong, she was also worried about her family, even though she was just a concubine. Finally, the emperor favored her and was going to be named Concubine Li, and her family will also be relatives of the emperor in the future, which is much stronger than before. If this will still be a rebellion, it will really not be worth it, and the emperor's Tianziwei is really powerful! Rebellion is a dead end.
Of course, Shen Yue and Jiang Qianxi would not think that Lord Shen had come out to greet the emperor on purpose, so many people had gone out of the city for hundreds of miles, something must have happened.
"Datong is very good, the people are digging coal for the emperor, Datong is now the whole city is honeycomb coal, I just paid them a few days ago, they are very grateful to the emperor." Lord Shen said. It doesn't seem to care much about his daughter Shen Yue!
Indeed it is.
Compared to his daughter Shen Yue, Lord Shen is worried about a lot, this is a major matter related to his whole family, as well as the people of Datong!
He and the people went out of the city to greet the emperor, it was indeed not because they admired Chongzhen's wisdom and courage that they used soldiers like gods, they were more concerned about silver-coal diggers' money.
Last month, Chongzhen recruited hundreds of thousands of workers in Datong Mansion to dig coal, play with clay balls, and left hundreds of thousands of silver to drive the expedition himself. Lord Shen watched hundreds of thousands of people in Datong make more and more honeycomb coal every day, and he was upset, this honeycomb coal filled Datong almost full, and Lord Shen was still worried about where to put honeycomb coal after the beginning of spring!
The emperor once said that the silver household department would allocate it, but he wrote a letter to the household department, and Fang Yuegong, the secretary of the household department, personally replied to him and said that the emperor had not told him about this matter, and he did not understand. So Lord Shen had no choice but to put his hope on Li Zicheng's side, the emperor also said before that there would be silver for Li Zicheng, and now there should be silver.
A few days ago, Lord Shen asked the officials to send wages to the workers for the New Year, only one month of work, the emperor gave little silver, and there may be no silver next month, Lord Shen is having a headache about the silver!
Therefore, Shen Dacai was so sad that he had a bad year, and went out of the city to greet the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the emperor uses soldiers like a god, and Weichen really admires it! Careful planning, a soldier and a general, a horse and a cart, have used them to the extreme! Lord Shen looked at the car of the miscellaneous battalion and asked, the news of the good news to Weinan said in detail how much silver and grain were seized from each county, but when he went to Xi'an, he only said that Li Zicheng was executed and thirty people died, and the rest was not written.
Lord Shen is a very careful person, every time the good news comes back, he writes it down, he calculates these amounts over and over again, each county seized not much, only to seize less than a thousand taels of silver, the emperor laid down eighteen counties in Shaanxi, seized 17,228 taels of silver.
The big head is in Xi'an, Li Zicheng is a person who is greedy for enjoyment, he has killed so many vassal kings, and the silver he robbed must have been placed in Xi'an.
The emperor is really careful in his calculations, no wonder the marching speed is so fast, after eating the grain and loading it with silver, what is transported away is grain, and what is transported back is silver.
A bag of silver is about 1,000 taels, a cart of five bags, more than 100 carts, and more than 5 million taels! The wages of these months are expected! The emperor of the Ming Dynasty still has strange things, some love to be generals to fight, some love to be carpenters, and now the emperor likes to play with mud.
The interest was also good, and the seized silver was distributed among the poor people. It's much, much better than those emperors' hobbies, and those emperors' hobbies are either laborious or money-harmful! Well, no, the emperor's hobby is also a waste of money, but the emperor is self-sufficient
"This way of using soldiers, you really learn a lot from me!" Chongzhen also said modestly, Wei Zaode and his disciples praised Chongzhen beyond that, Chongzhen is determined to engage in a personality cult, so there is usually no shortage of bragging.
The cult of personality is good, the cult of personality can make the people believe that he is the emperor, and in the future, there will be not so many objections to the implementation of land reform in Jiangnan and the collection of commercial taxes and tea taxes.
Of course, all of this has to be based on the premise of the army. Only with the support of a tough army can Chongzhen's ideas be implemented.
"Your Majesty, there are at least five million taels of silver in these carriages, Li Zicheng actually robbed so much silver!" Lord Shen looked at the carriages of the miscellaneous battalion and said with glowing eyes. Five million taels of silver, one million taels a month, can be spent in five months! It's nothing to disband after five months!
"No, there is no silver in this bag, it is all grain." Chongzhen was also moved by Lord Shen's hundred miles to welcome the emperor and said.
Lord Shen brought so many people here, so he didn't want to rob him.
"Ahh Lord Shen shouted loudly, but he quickly felt that he was out of shape, "Daming Daily" said that the emperor's use of soldiers is like a god, and the silver must be very thoughtful.
It must have been transported by some other means.
But Tianziwei seems to be here, and Tianziwei is the best protection team.
So Lord Shen asked again, "Your Majesty, you have seized a lot of silver from Li Zicheng!" ”
"No, I didn't seize the silver from Xi'an!" Chongzhen said with a big grin.
He was also immersed in the joy of 200,000 people welcoming the emperor for a hundred miles!
Chongzhen was so happy, but Lord Shen was different, and he cried and lost his face.
It would be strange if so many people heard that Xi'an had no money and didn't rebel immediately, so he cautiously asked Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, do you mean that Xi'an ...... Xi'an didn't pay back the silver? ”
Lord Shen didn't believe it, and walked to the car of the miscellaneous battalion, saw a car passing by, and touched it, food! If you touch another bag, it will be food, and if you touch a car, it will also be food!
"Li Zicheng surrendered, and in order to persuade Gao Guiying, Li Guo and others to surrender, I withdrew from Xi'an the next day, and Xi'an Qiu did not commit any ......," Chongzhen said in a high-spirited manner.
Lord Shen is Shen Yue's father, and he has come all the way to welcome me. Chongzhen also wants to make him a good official who loves the people like a son, if he is like Zhou Kui, Chongzhen can send him to see Zhou Kui immediately. There is nothing to hide, and he is not afraid of being robbed.
"Your Majesty, what about the wages of those workers who dig coal for you!" Lord Shen touched the bags of several carriages, all of which were grain! looked at Chongzhen in disappointment and asked.
Only then did Chongzhen understand.
Forehead......
You! You, Lord Shen, and this group of people, didn't you come all the way for a hundred miles because I worshipped me with my soldiers, such as gods, wisdom, and bravery, so you walked for a day and a night to greet me?
You're so bad!
