Emperor Chongzhen was still a young man less than twenty years old, and after being patted by Ji Qingwen like this, his mood was much better, and he said with a smile on his face: "Your dog is also very competent, but unfortunately he has a bad background, and he is a person who bought it." But it doesn't matter, I have me as your backer, and I originally planned to keep you as an official in the capital. But at the moment, the finances of the imperial court are still too tight, and it is impossible to raise money for me in Jiangnan without you. Therefore, I discussed with Mr. Sun, and I still plan to let you go back to Suzhou to continue to be your weaving commander. ”

After witnessing this "change of self-righteousness", the filthiness and danger in the Chongzhen court were everywhere, and Ji Qingwen had seen a little bit of it. And his mind of wanting his wife Taiping to be a rich man has not changed at all, so he doesn't want to stay in the capital and get involved in these unclear and unexplained things in the center of the court - Emperor Chongzhen's proposal is in line with Ji Qingwen's thoughts.

Therefore, Ji Qingwen was afraid that Emperor Chongzhen would change his mind, so he immediately agreed: "Since the emperor sent his ministers back to Jiangnan, the ministers will definitely live up to their holy hopes...... What, the minister is willing to do 'profit the life and death of the country, and avoid it because of misfortune and fortune'......"

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he praised: "A good 'life and death of a profitable country, how can it be avoided because of misfortune', you said it well." I think this couplet can be hung on the pillars of the Taihe Palace! Let the hundreds of officials of the court be able to take a look at it every day when they go to court. ”

Ji Qingwen was stunned when he heard it - he didn't realize that this sentence came from Lin Zexu's mouth, and it was more than two hundred years before the end of Chongzhen!

But I heard Emperor Chongzhen say again: "But this time I let you go back to Jiangnan, and I didn't let you enjoy it." Now your Suzhou weaving yamen pays 1,600 pieces of silk and 400,000 taels of silver every year, and it is not easy to say in all fairness. But now that the imperial court is in financial difficulties, you, Mr. Sun Chengzong, have restored the Guanning defense line and the Xifengkou defense line, and there is a place to spend money, so——"

Chongzhen dragged out his voice, and then said: "Therefore, I want you to send an additional 400,000 taels of silver into Beijing every year, as for the silk and satin for the tribute, the supply can be reduced by half, I would rather be more miserable myself, but also to ensure the daily expenses of the imperial court and military expenses!" ”

In fact, in addition to the silver taels handed over to the imperial court, Ji Qingwen can now make a net profit of 1.7 million taels of silver every year, so that he can have an extra 400,000 taels of silver from this, he didn't pay attention to it at all, not to mention that the 800 tribute colored brocades that were less tribute were worth 300,000 taels of silver.

So Ji Qingwen agreed without thinking about it.

Since Emperor Chongzhen ascended to the throne as emperor, he has always struggled against the increasingly restrained financial revenue of the imperial court, always picking tens of thousands of taels of silver on the left and tens of thousands of taels of silver on the right.

But when he heard Ji Qingwen so cheerfully today, he promised to give an extra 400,000 taels of silver, and he was in a good mood, and praised Ji Qingwen again

After a few words, he said: "Although you are a dog who does not know how to write and ink, you are a good hand at financial management, and there will definitely be a place to reuse you in the future." Also, those sergeants under your command are said to have been recruited and trained using Qi Jiguang's art of war, and I am very optimistic about it, if you have plenty of money, you can naturally recruit and train more. ”

Ji Qingwen's Chen Wenzhao's big wish before his death was to let Ji Qingwen continue to expand the training of the township warriors under his command, and now with the emperor's golden mouth, he continues to recruit sergeants, which is justified, and there is no longer any hindrance.

However, the courtiers were in their own hands, whether in the feudal era or not, it was never a thing that could reassure the emperor.

Therefore, although Ji Qingwen was happy in his heart, he pretended to be reluctant and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court is overwhelmed with raising soldiers, and it is also overstretched to raise these hundreds of regimental training brothers. However, since it is the emperor's hope, the minister will not dare to live up to the emperor's painstaking efforts, and he will definitely wait for the emperor to come out with a mighty and civilized army that dares to fight and is good at victory! ”

This is the slogan of the People's Liberation Army in later generations, and when Emperor Chongzhen heard it, he was naturally excited, and immediately praised: "Okay, what a mighty and civilized army, I will give you the name of the army under your command 'Mingwu Army'." ”

As he spoke, Emperor Chongzhen pulled a piece of rice paper, wrote the three big characters of "Ming Wujun" on the paper with his thick and mellow pen and ink, and said: "These three words include the name of my dynasty, after you send you to weave the skilled craftsmen in the yamen to make battle flags, ordinary people will naturally flee from the wind, and other stubborn people will be terrified when they see it." ”

Saying that, Chongzhen gave his handwritten ink treasure to Ji Qingwen, but he still felt that it was not refreshing enough, so he took out a sword from his bedroom, handed it to Ji Qingwen, and said: "This sword of the Son of Heaven, I gave it to you first, and it was borrowed from you by Teacher Sun. Now that Mr. Sun has returned it to me, the so-called 'Jun has no jokes', I will now give you back this sword of the Son of Heaven! ”

Ji Qingwen knew how powerful such a treasure was, and immediately took over the sword with both hands.

Emperor Chongzhen let go of his hands, straightened his waist, and then admonished: "This sword is used by me personally, and naturally like other Shangfang swords, it has the right to cut first and then play. But don't be too complacent, don't follow your senior brother Yuan Chonghuan, kill Mao Wenlong indiscriminately, and make the situation out of control, you know? ”

Ji Qingwen realized that Chongzhen, the temperamental and narrow-minded emperor's trust, was not so easy to get, Chongzhen's trust in Yuan Chonghuan back then was even worse than his own, but this dignified Jiliao Inspector is now locked up in prison by the emperor, although his life is temporarily worry-free, but it is also uncertain.

But Ji Qingwen has now taken over the sword of the Son of Heaven, and he has never presented the original sword again

To return the emperor's reasoning, he could only accept the sword head-on, but he secretly swore in his heart: he would never use such a supreme treasure lightly.

So Ji Qingwen said a lot to Emperor Chongzhen, and then withdrew from the Qianqing Palace with the sword, and left the Forbidden City under the escort of Li Yuanyin, who had been waiting for a long time.

Li Yan, Huang Degong and others were eating in front of the wonton stall in front of the palace gate as usual, while waiting for Ji Qingwen.

Li Yan saw that Ji Qingwen was coming out of the palace, so he hurriedly got up and greeted him, and when he saw that the sword of the Son of Heaven was back in Ji Qingwen's hand, he smiled and said, "Presumably Brother Ji entered the palace this time and won the lottery again, right?" Otherwise, how could this sword be lost and recovered? ”

Ji Qingwen shook his head with a wry smile and replied: "It's not easy to take such a thing, for this sword, the emperor asked me to pay an extra 400,000 taels of silver every year!" ”

As he spoke, Ji Qingwen invited everyone to sit down, picked up what he could say about the conversation between himself and the emperor, and briefly introduced it to everyone.

And when Ji Qingwen mentioned that the emperor was ready to rehabilitate Zhaoxue for Zhang Juzheng, Li Yan couldn't help but applaud: "The old minister of Zhang Jiangling would rather bear the resentment of the whole world back then, but also be determined to change the law and eliminate the malpractices. It's a pity that the day is not a holiday for Zhang Lao Xianggong, otherwise the law change will be successful, and the Ming Dynasty will be rich and strong, how can it make trouble for the Manchurian Tartars to take advantage of the embarrassment? ”

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard someone next to him exclaim, "What did Mr. Li say?" Is the emperor going to be fair to Zhang Jiangling? ”

Everyone turned their heads to look at the voice, and saw that it was the old man who was setting up a wonton stall, holding a wonton bowl, and his eyes widened and said, "Is this true?" ”

Every time Ji Qingwen enters and comes out of the palace, he has to eat a bowl of wontons at Lao Zhangtou's stall, so he has long been familiar with him, so he answered: "Of course it's true, what did I lie to you about setting up a wonton stall?" The emperor has already issued an edict to ask the cabinet to draft an edict, and it must not be long before a holy decree will be issued to the world! ”

Unexpectedly, when the old man heard the news, he was so excited that he burst into tears, and said: "The emperor is wise, the emperor is wise!" can be fair to Zhang Laoxiang against Zhaoxue, that's really me...... I...... I am fortunate to be the people of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Li Yan said with emotion when he saw it: "Brother Ji, although Old Xianggong Zhang was attacked by those dim-witted officials in the court, the people of the world still remember his benefits. Brother Ji can suggest that the emperor do such a big thing, which can be said to have won the hearts of the people. ”

When Lao Zhang Tou heard that it was Ji Qingwen who suggested that the emperor rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng's case, he was even more excited and at a loss, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Li is right, right. Master Ji can speak out, and he is the benefactor of our people in the world...... In this way, from now on, Lord Ji will eat wontons at my stall, and they will all be given away for free! ”
