Chapter 345: The Piece That Stays in the Middle (There Is No Break Today)

Whew, Chongzhen, who was listening to the cold wind whistling outside, was a little irritable in his heart, and on the table in front of him was a stack of concerts, shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "Qin Xiaochuan did a good thing in Shandong!" Rectify the business tax! It's a shame he can think of it, hehe. He smiled and looked at Wang Chengen on the side, as well as his crown prince Zhu Cihong with a smile on his face. If he had said in the past, General Qin had done such a chaotic thing, and at this time, as he liquidated the Huangzhuang near the capital, he understood what kind of people this group of brothers and ministers around him was, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty, this! If the commercial tax can be rectified in Shandong, it has been implemented throughout the country, how can Your Majesty be short of food and salary at that time," Wang Chenen said, his tone full of expectation.

Chongzhen glanced at his prince, his eyes were full of expectation, business tax, if he can collect this money, do he still need to save his internal crossbow so much! He shook his head again and said with a wry smile: "Don't talk about the officials in the capital, let's just say that the warlords in the towns and towns in the rich places in the south of the Yangtze River are very good, and they are guarding the horns with the officials of the DPRK and China, so it is very difficult to collect taxes!" Not to mention their endless tax evasion methods," he smiled wryly, understanding the difficulty.

"Father, although it is difficult to collect business taxes, General Qin must collect a lot of taxes in Shandong, and we can extract benefits from them to support the army," said the crown prince Zhu Cihong, his eyes burning.

"This?" Chongzhen was surprised, and said, "I want the money he worked so hard to get, isn't it?" He shook his head.

"Father, look at these pieces on this table, you don't send them to help him save a lot of trouble," Zhu Cihong said, he expanded the prince's army to 10,000 people, and he naturally needed a lot of money and food for daily exercises.

"This? Emperor, that's it" Chongzhen showed a smile and said: "Every year he collects business taxes, I will draw eleven."

"Your Majesty, is this too little?" Wang Chenen said, how much business tax can he collect?

"Don't burn, Wang Gonggong, you don't know the benefits of business taxes, and the ability of General Qin, he will keep nineteen, I will keep eleven, the number of eleven will definitely make you staggered" Zhu Cihong said with a smile.

Chongzhen nodded, and said with a smile: "He hasn't implemented the rectification of commercial taxes yet, but we are here to discuss how to collect taxes, haha, it's not too early to say!" ”

"We all believe in General Qin's ability, and it is natural that only business taxes are not a problem" Zhu Cihong said with a smile, and said: "I heard that Liu Zeqing colluded with the Shandong Qi Party this time, and he has 50,000 soldiers and horses under his command, all of whom are elites who have been trained for more than four years and participated in many battles, I am afraid that General Qin has some small troubles."

"Four years of training? Hehe, what if the Manchu soldiers were trained for less than fourteen years? Chongzhen shook his head and smiled with a sense of pride, and looked at his son strangely and said, "Hong'er, don't you want to?" ”

"The second minister asks his father for help!" The crown prince Zhu Cihong knelt on the ground and said.

"Your Highness, although the 50,000 troops are elite, the military discipline is sloppy, and it is not my Ming service," Wang Chengen said.

Chongzhen also has an indescribable meaning in his eyes, since ancient times, there is an army to have the right, since the change of Tumubao, the army of the DPRK and China has slowly come to the hands of civilian officials, the imperial power is weakening day by day, this time the military law is rampant in various places, he knows that he is overweight and full of traitors, but he is helpless, they control the army of public opinion, and even he thought of the unknown death of his brother Emperor Tianqi, thinking about this, he is more eager to have a strong army, he looked around and said: "Okay, I help you"

**************

The night sky was bright, the stars in the sky were shining with different brilliance, and among the bright moon and stars, the bright moonlight made the light of the stars look a little dim. Under the night sky, there was a lot of conversation and argument, and some people spoke very quickly.

"Brothers, have you seen it, at this moment, we are drinking wine and eating meat in a big bowl, do you know what the Qingzhou Army does every day?" A general wearing Mingguang armor laughed loudly, and the iron helmet had long been thrown aside by him.

"I heard that Qingzhou is rich, they can eat meat every day, and they have what they want."

"That's right, it's very rich, it's full of fertile land, and there are as many cattle as the stars in the sky," said a circle of soldiers.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in the general's eyes, and he understood that some people must have been mixed in the army to promote Qingzhou to them, and he laughed and said: "Fart, the Qingzhou army orders are not allowed to drink, and those who drink will be killed!" It is even more impossible to eat meat, their meat is for Shangguan to eat, not for soldiers, how can they share wine and meat with you like Liu San! ”

"Brother Liu, I'll follow you in the future, don't care who Qingzhou sends, I won't accept anyone, I'll obey you"

"Yes, if he changes generals, I will follow you, and I will not follow anyone else!" The crowd said that these soldiers often had simple words that could move them.

Liu San nodded and looked at the crowd: "Do you know how the Qingzhou Army trains every day?" Looking at the crowd of people who were curious, they looked over and said: "They train for four hours a day, treating people as animals, I heard that the daily medical hall is full of soldiers, some of them are working hard to death, miserable, the training is wrong, it is directly a military stick, I heard that Qin Xiaochuan is ruthless, he bowed to his brother late to the time of a stick of incense and was beaten to cripple by his military stick" He said, everyone inhaled.

"Four hours, is this the life of a person, four hours of training, my life is gone, my master is gone, after training like this, don't I have to practice to death in the school field"

"This is too ruthless, Brother Liu, they really don't treat their brothers as human beings!"

"Worship yourself and beat your brother to a cripple, he is really not a thing, he is only too late to be crippled with a stick of incense, I was half an hour late for the last training, and you didn't say anything, general."

"Hmph, what is this" Liu San continued: "There are even more powerful ones, they are not allowed to drink, they are not allowed to rob, they are not allowed to play with women, if they violate the rules, they will be beheaded after they are caught, and if they conceal it and do not report it, the whole team will be beheaded!" ”

"Huh? You can't rob the brothers of what they eat and drink! Shall they all starve to death?"

"If you don't play with women, what's the point of being a living person, isn't it just that you have two eggs in vain?"

"Third Brother Liu, do you have to be punished for this kind of big fart? I don't believe him, the men of the Qingzhou Army, no one does such a thing"

"If you have a brother who doesn't believe it, you can go to the nearby Qingzhou Army camp to watch and ask if this is the case, and then if you want to live a good life in the past, then listen to me tomorrow, and it is best to give them some colors to see, so that the brothers can live their original life" Liu San said, his tone was full of solemnity.

The barracks were full of generals like Liu San, telling how their lives would change if the army changed hands, and some soldiers had already said that they would assassinate Qin Xiaochuan.
