When Wan Cailian heard this, she felt that there was some truth, and she was no longer so flustered. In this way, she suddenly found that she didn't seem to have finished grooming, and she couldn't help but find an excuse to leave, and when she hurriedly went to freshen up, she found that she had been very calm Sha Dingzhou, and she didn't seem to care much at this time.

When Sha Dingzhou saw Wan Cailian looking at him, he immediately realized it, and hurriedly defended: "I heard that Madame was anxious about the war, so I hurried over." Although there are many Ming troops now, we and other continents also have hole cards available, so it doesn't matter. ”

Speaking of this, he groaned and said: "If this is not the case, I will personally go to the north to lead the army to deal with the most Ming troops, and the west side will be handed over to Madame, how about you and I join hands to deal with the Ming army?" ”

When this Wan Cailian heard this, she couldn't help but feel arrogant, and thought in her heart, what if you Qin Liangyu's white-pole army came? I'm still scared, mother! Drag you, consume you, and clean you up when the master comes back!

Thinking so, the two cheered up again and agreed.

However, before they could say the details, they saw that the maid who had been in charge of reporting the news, this time she almost crawled in with a rolling belt, and no matter what etiquette or impropriety, as soon as she saw Wan Cailian's figure, she cried loudly: "Madam! Oh no, the lord is gone! Someone killed me......"

"What?" Wan Cailian was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly stood up, asking with an incredible expression on her face, "What master is gone?" Which old man is gone? ”

The news I got before was that Pu Mingming had already broken through the Shenglong Mansion, and he could still loot for a day, and the big event had been decided, what danger could there be? Subconsciously, Wan Cailian thought that this master was not the other master!

"Master and Sha Zhizhou......" When the maid said this, she glanced at Sha Dingzhou, whose face was pale, and said, "I was booby-trapped by Lord Ruan, and I also sent people around to kill our people, and finally escaped a little people came to report the news......

The maid gave a general account of what she had learned, and before she could finish speaking, she saw another maid run in, and in a panic she said that she had found a new Ming army all the way.

These bad news were added together, and Wan Cailian's legs suddenly weakened, and her face turned pale and she fell to the ground. There was no difference between Sha Dingzhou, exactly the same as this woman, she was hit by bad news one after another, and after taking a few steps backwards, she finally fell to the ground.

The two people who couldn't stand up on the ground didn't hear the panicked cries of the maid next to them at all, they just looked at each other, and only saw the despair in each other's eyes!

And in the chat group, Emperor Chongzhen pulled a temporary group, named the Battle of Yunnan Tusi. There is not only Zhu Xieyuan, the governor in the group, but also a brocade guard in the guards and armies that train troops in various places, in this chat group. The dynamics of each army can be reflected in the group at any time to the commander-in-chief Zhu Xieyuan.

This kind of war is the first time Zhu Xieyuan has encountered it, and this kind of army command mode of instant messaging in different locations, even if Zhu Xieyuan is a little older, he is still excited.

His interest was very high, and after grasping the situation thoroughly, he immediately excitedly whispered to Emperor Chongzhen in a private chat: "Your Majesty, the troops of the various guards transferred into Yunnan Province have surrounded the rebellious Tusi, and Weichen is about to order all the people and horses to attack together, and use these Tusi as whetstones to train my elite division of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen happened to see it, and when he was about to say something, he saw Zhu Xieyuan send another private chat: "This march is very smooth, and Weichen thinks that it is all related to His Majesty's strict order to obey the implementation of the law, requiring the establishment of children's schools, and the good deeds of paving roads and bridges." The people in those Tusi territories were not only no longer as hostile to the imperial army as before, but even a few people quietly provided information to lead the way for the imperial army. ”

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but laugh. For the Tusi of Yunnan, it is to win over these low-level people. Under the oppression of the toast, they are completely serfs, fighting for the benefits for them, they can see hope, as long as they are people with a normal life, they will know what to choose.

Thinking so, he replied to Zhu Xieyuan: "The main purpose of this large-scale mobilization of troops in Yunnan is to give the streamlined army of various guards a chance to train troops. These Tusi armies are not large in size and relatively average in combat effectiveness, so they are good training targets. Zhu Qing remembered this and helped me retrain these guards into elite soldiers! ”

"Wechen obeys!" Zhu Xieyuan now has a strong imperial court force in his hands, and he doesn't have to worry about the source of money and military resources, which is not much better than his previous suppression of the Lu'an Rebellion, so he is naturally full of confidence, and immediately replied, "Weichen believes that after this battle, it will be able to deter Yunnan Tusi very well, so that they will no longer dare to disobey the imperial court!" In the future, the implementation of land reform and return to the stream will also be much smoother! ”

The scale of the imperial court's military strength this time is really rare, fully demonstrating the military power of the imperial court, cat-and-mouse suppression! It's even more deterrent!

Emperor Chongzhen was naturally relieved of Zhu Xieyuan's ability. It is also for this reason that he not only let Zhu Xieyuan command the Yunnan war, but also handed over the command of the Ming army in Guangdong and Guangxi to Zhu Xieyuan in another temporary group. According to the plan in advance, all Ming armies will eventually attack Annam and meet in Annam.

Now the troops who left Zhennanguan first were only slowly advancing, giving Ruan Phuc Yuan enough pressure to prevent him from having the strength and energy to recapture the lair. After the Tusi rebellion was suppressed on the Yunnan side, the Ming armies from all walks of life pressed towards Shenglong Mansion together.

In general, the combined army of Nguyen Phuc Nguyen and the Portuguese was somewhat more powerful than the army of Tusi. In line with the order of training the troops first and then the difficult, in the end, the Ming army from all walks of life wanted to use this coalition army to train their hands.

Emperor Chongzhen thought so, and then heard a "ding" sound, and the system prompted, and a private chat came.

He clicked on it and found that it was sent by Zheng Zhilong. It was also good news that Trung Chi Long reported that he launched a surprise attack in the early hours of the morning and burned Nguyen Phuc Yuan's sailors at the mouth of the Red River with an arsonist ship, completely cutting off the sea retreat of Nguyen's army.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he couldn't help but smile, this ability to fight at sea, it is estimated that Li Zhiqi is not Zheng Zhilong's opponent. This Zheng Zhilong, well done! He equipped him with a factory guard in the chat group, so that he could grasp the situation of the opponent, and the good news came one after another.

Approaching the end of the year, the army of Zhengliao immediately returned to Beijing, so that the military parade led by the cabinet was almost ready. For the six parts, everything is under control, and this year can have a good year!

Emperor Chongzhen thought so, and was in a very good mood, so he began to flip through the chat records in the public chat area, and just look at them casually when he was bored.

Who knows, it's okay if he doesn't look at it, and when he looks at it, he immediately pays attention to the chat records of several Jiangnan scholars.

"There is a party in the manor outside Mr. Pan today, and Mr. Zhou Ge and Mr. Ximing are here, so you can't miss it!"

"Is it the hundred gardens of the great salt merchant Pan Ru? I heard that he was bleeding heavily in order to keep the manor! ”

"Who says it isn't! But people have money, and they don't care about that. This son also received an invitation.,I have to go.,I heard that Mr. Ximing has a new work.,Just don't listen to it.。 ”

"Ah, I'm far away, I can't catch up, with Mr. Zhou Ge and Mr. Ximing here, I can't learn a new "Five Tombstones"! It's a shame I can't get past it! ”

“……”

Emperor Chongzhen had already paid attention to the Restoration Society that was slowly spreading throughout the country from the south of the Yangtze River, and Zhang Pu, the leader of the Restoration Society, naturally registered on his side. Before, because he started too early in Nanxun Town, or Zhang Pu was far away, he didn't rush over to sell his articles, which allowed him to escape. Now in the big salt merchants, there is something like "The Tombstone of the Five People", and Emperor Chongzhen is not happy!

There is also that Zhou Yanru, who asked him to correct the atmosphere of Jiangnan Shilin, but the result was good, and he got mixed up with Zhang Pu, and he was still in the big salt business. The big salt merchants are rich, Zhang Pu and others are talented, and Zhou Yanru has an official background, so when they get together, is it difficult to do something?

Thinking so, Emperor Chongzhen thought about it for a while, then clicked on the icon of Wang Chengen, the governor of Dongchang, chatted with him privately, and explained the situation in general, and asked Wang Chengen's men to go down to find out the specific situation.

Now the number of members in the chat group is almost more than four hundred and fifty people, and some people have been selected from them, and after checking the background, they were approved by Emperor Chongzhen and absorbed into Dongchang and Jinyiwei. It is also for this reason that all the Ming armies in the south are now accompanied by members of the chat group. The East Factory has also begun to roll out the layout in major cities and various industries across the country.

Emperor Chongzhen remembered clearly that Yangzhou, where Pan Ru was located, had Dongchang in service. It was not an emergency, he did not directly give orders to the soldiers, but Wang Chengen, the commander of the East Factory, was responsible for this matter.

After ordering this matter, Emperor Chongzhen's attention shifted to the salt merchants. Obeying the law of disobedience is actually not enough to do personal income tax like in later generations. After all, it is impossible to know how much money the salt merchant makes in a year. These salt merchants, especially the big salt merchants, must be very rich. Now, they just spend an extra amount of money and continue to enjoy their old life. A lot of money must have been hidden in the cellar by them. There is nothing they can do about this, and there is nothing they can do about it.

In fact, even in later generations, the income of some big businessmen could not be clear, and every income could not be taxed. Not to mention reasonable tax avoidance, just tax evasion can be heard from time to time.

Nowadays, these big salt merchants, Emperor Chongzhen has already learned through the factory guards and some information in later generations that they used bribes to bribe the officials of the salt farm, give priority to the exchange of salt, or mix private salt in the official salt, and make a lot of money from the government and the people. At present, there are many loopholes in the entire salt administration system, so that the cost of salt for the people is very high. The high price of official salt has also led to the rampant smuggling of salt dealers, which cannot be eliminated no matter how they are banned or killed.

"Hehe, you wait first, and when I celebrate the New Year, I will announce the policy of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and see if you can still enjoy the people's fat and people's cream!" Emperor Chongzhen thought with a sneer in his heart.

Now he can collect money without lifting the table. For example, to deal with these salt merchants, for hundreds of years, the means they used to collect money have been accompanied by the salt policy for hundreds of years, and even the illegal means among them have been the unspoken rules of an industry, and if this unspoken rule is forcibly changed, it will inevitably lead to a violent backlash. After all, salt merchants are not just salt merchants, behind them, there are local and imperial officials, these ancient merchants, there have never been real merchants!

For the situation where collusion between officials and businessmen has existed for hundreds of years, simply and rudely flipping the table is just a last resort. If Emperor Chongzhen dared to attack directly, it would be the inner library that would bear the brunt of the loss.

Hundreds of years after the founding of the country, the location of the salt, silk and other hugely profitable industries has long had a relationship with all classes, even the royal family. Including the emperor, things must follow certain rules of the game, and we must respect the basic laws of the development of things, if you can solve the problem by just killing people! Then this emperor is too easy to be!

Management, in the final analysis, is fighting with people! This kind of thing is never simple!

Shoufu Wen Tiren is also because of all kinds of scruples in the salt administration, although he wants to innovate, he has been hesitant, and after hearing that Emperor Chongzhen has a thorough solution here, he has been staring at Emperor Chongzhen.

For more than 200 years in the Ming Dynasty, he was not the only one who realized the problems of salt politics like Wen Tiren, and some people also proposed innovations.

After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but shake his head, few of these ancient scholars could summarize the discipline of economics well, and even no one paid due attention to the economy, so they all went to study the eight stocks.

However, now the Ministry of Etiquette is vigorously promoting the basic knowledge of science, and there are new things that are changing with each passing day, such as the application of new equipment and people's livelihood, which is also the original ideological system that impacts the Ming Dynasty. Nowadays, science and technology have also had an impact on the dominance of the eight stocks. When the conditions are ripe, we can start the work and raise the status of science and technology in the form of imperial examinations, and slowly change the old academic system. At that time, mathematics, physics, chemistry, economics and other things could slowly become specialized studies, and those who were interested in reading could study them.

The day after Emperor Chongzhen made some plans for the future, Wang Chengen came to reply to his will. According to the investigation of the Dongchang Fan Servant in Yangzhou, it was found that the salt merchants generally complained about the violation of the service house.

This gathering of Panru Manor was a dissatisfaction with the disobedience to the house, in which Zhang Pu even wrote an article, from the perspective of the people of the Ming Dynasty, openly and secretly accused the disobedience of the house. Criticizing this policy is to fish the people and not treat the people as human beings, and it is the "Yan Song" in the DPRK who is collecting money.

At the end of the article, he mentioned how outstanding Zhou Yanru's knowledge and life were, but he was excluded and left the court, and the injustice of the world is nothing more than this!
