Chapter 169: The official position of the governor of Jiliao is gone

Hearing Chen Yue say that there is a way to get money, Chongzhen is happy in his heart, he has always trusted Chen Yue's ability to make money, Chen Yue's honeycomb coal has earned a lot of money for the palace, and it has also made Chongzhen's life much better, although this money is a drop in the bucket for the entire empire, but it is enough for the expenses in the palace.

"Aiqing, do you really have a way?" Chongzhen immediately became excited, and both eyes shone brightly.

"Your Majesty, the minister has an idea that I don't know if it will work?" Chen Yue was a little hesitant, because once this method was said, if it was spread, he would definitely become the target of public criticism and a friend in the entire officialdom.

"Though you say it, whether you do it or not, you will be acquitted." Chongzhen said eagerly, Da Ming has come to a desperate situation, no matter what the idea is, he is willing to give it a try.

"Your Majesty, this Ming Dynasty has hundreds of millions of people, hundreds of millions of acres of fertile land, the grain produced every year, and the wealth produced is endless, but now the imperial treasury is empty, and the ordinary people are waiting to feed the people. The Nuoda Empire can't even pay the soldiers' salaries and the officials' salaries, so I ask Your Majesty, where has all this wealth gone? Chen Yue gritted his teeth and decided to ignore the thirty-seven twenty-one, and give his own methods and plates, as for whether Chongzhen will adopt it or not, whether he dares to use it or not, it has nothing to do with him. If he can do this, he is already worthy of the official position given by Chongzhen and the identity of the Chen family's military household for generations.

"The court has no money, the people have no money, where does the money go? Naturally, it went into the pockets of the gentry, nobles, and clansmen. Seventy percent of the land of the Ming Dynasty is in their hands, and the remaining two percent of the land is in the hands of the nobles of the clan, and ninety percent of the land in the world does not need to pay any taxes, and the expenses of the imperial court, the operation of the government, and the salaries of millions of troops all fall on the ordinary people who cultivate the remaining fields, which forced the court to have no money, and the people are also poor. It's not that there is no money, but that the money is in the hands of a few! As long as Your Majesty can get these few people to spit out the money again and use it for the country, then whether it is to sweep away the thieves or resist the Manchurians, the money and food needed will not be a problem! ”

After Chen Yue finished speaking, he stood there quietly, waiting for Chongzhen's decision. If Chongzhen had the courage to start with these noble officials, Chen Yue decided to give up his life to accompany him crazy once, for the sake of the world of the Han people, for the sake of Shenzhou not to sink again, even if it is broken bones, he will not hesitate!

"You mean, let me take the nobles, the clan, and the gentry? Do you know that the gentry are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, the nobles have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty in the past, and the clan is my closest relatives! After listening to Chen Yue's words, Chongzhen was very disappointed. The officials are the representatives of the gentry, and they return to their hometowns as officials in the court, not to mention anything else, if this news comes out, I am afraid that the officials will have to explode, and the immediate collapse of the government is light, Chongzhen does not dare to imagine that kind of scene. This Chen Yue is young in the end, so he will think crankily, what kind of bad idea he came up with!

"Your Majesty, the foundation of this Ming Dynasty is not the gentry, but thousands of people, and the nobles of the clan are even more dispensable, taking their wealth, and benefiting the Ming Dynasty and benefiting the people, why not?" Chen Yue persuaded bitterly.

"To put it lightly, you have already wiped out all the people in my court, who will do things for me? Are you alone? Chongzhen sneered and decided to end this ridiculous conversation.

"Your Majesty, let's not take everyone, you can make up charges, such as embezzlement, etc., first raid some people's homes, get silver taels for state affairs, there are a lot of rich people in Beijing, just take a few is enough to pay the soldiers in Beijing, and then use it to recruit soldiers, and if you don't have money, you can do it again, it's ......" Chen Yue babbled about the method of action, not noticing that Chongzhen's face was getting darker and darker.

"What bullshit are you talking about! I am the king of a country, and I act uprightly and brightly, and you asked me to frame a crime to confiscate the wealth of my courtiers, do you want me to be a faint king who has been infamous for the ages? Chongzhen shouted angrily, if he hadn't said in advance that he would not be punished for his words, he was afraid that he would send someone to drag Chen Yue down and punish him severely.

Yes? Chen Yue raised his head, looked at Chongzhen's angry face in surprise, and thought to himself, you are still thinking about what you have done so much when the fucking capital is dying, and it is better to leave a reputation for eternity than to hang on a crooked neck tree!

But looking at Chongzhen's angry expression, Chen Yue knew that it was useless to say more, an indecisive person who looked forward and looked forward had no courage to do such a thing, and his demise could not be reversed by his own strength! I still want to earn more money and recruit more soldiers, and when the chaos comes, I have the power to protect myself, this crumbling Ming is not something I can save.

After Chongzhen lost his temper, he looked at Chen Yuecheng's panicked appearance, and felt slightly apologetic in his heart, after all, Chen Yue's original intention was to think about him, but he was young and didn't know how thick the sky was! What's more, the other party is a hero who has just won a battle.

"Go back and wait for the decree." Chongzhen sighed.

"And my Governor Jiliao?" Chen Yue asked cautiously, knowing that he might not get this official position, Chen Yue still asked with great expectations, after all, if he had this official position, he could quickly accumulate strength and wait for the great changes in the world!

Looking at Chen Yue's appearance as a lieutenant fan, Chongzhen couldn't help but smile.

"The position of Governor of Jiliao is gone, and you can't afford such an important position with your age and qualifications!" Chongzhen said with a straight face.

"I can't be the governor, or Your Majesty, you will give the minister a governor," Chen Yue said tentatively, "or let the minister be the general soldier of a town, and the minister doesn't care about civil and military officials." "Whether it is the governor or the chief soldier, they are all counted as local soil emperors, and they are stronger than this nominal soldier. Bingbei Dao sounds good to say, and can supervise the military of a place, but in fact, how can the army listen to itself, it is better to be a general soldier with a territory, like Tang Tong Bai Guangen has his own territory, and there are countless military households under him, and he can recruit soldiers from the children of military households at will.

Chongzhen looked at Chen Yue angrily and funny, is it really a bad boy who doesn't understand anything, what kind of place does this palace look like, a vegetable market for bargaining?

"You go back to me first, and there will be a holy decree for you later!" Chongzhen waved his hand impatiently, so Chen Yue could only retreat helplessly.

"Lord Chen, your idea today is too bold." Wang Chengen sent Chen Yue outside the hall, read the friendship in Panshan a few days ago, and said a word to Chen Yue.

"How?" Chen Yue asked.

"In short, you can do it yourself in the future, this palace has never been a place to hide news!" Wang Chengen shook his head, turned around and went back to the hall, a little friendship was not worth saying too much.
