At this time, Liu Wang's family was still by Sun Chengzong's side, far away in Yongping.

Hu Guang was not very relieved about the others, so he let Sun Chengzong sit in Yongping and be fully responsible for the disaster relief and pacification of Yongping. Only his prestige can coordinate the local government and the army of the guards, and can try to deter the black hand that extends to the disaster relief materials, so as not to make matters worse.

After listening to the news conveyed by Liu Wang, Hu Guang couldn't help but secretly sigh that historical celebrities are historical celebrities, and they can stand out in the same period, regardless of whether their reputation is good or bad, and let the history books set up a biography for them, they all have their extraordinary ability, keen sense of smell, and do the right thing at the right time.

No matter what his original history was, at least at this time, he was young and belonged to the object that could still be transformed. This time it was so appetizing that it had to be rewarded.

Hu Guang thought so, and was about to personally open his mouth to announce this matter to the civil and military officials and promote them, when his brows suddenly moved, and after a turn of his brain, he still held back, and instead clicked on Liu Xingzuo's icon and explained.

Outside Tiananmen Square, Liu Xingzuo was talking. He didn't enter the chat group, so what Liu Wang said, he didn't know yet. But the emperor's words could directly remind him, let him pause for a moment, and then did not speak again, just stood there, as if he was scanning the low-level officer in front of him, but in fact, his consciousness entered the chat group.

After a while, Liu Xingzuo's consciousness withdrew from the chat group, and his face was vaguely surprised. He sped up his speech and said loudly: "Whether you can enter the Daming Martyrs' Hall requires the imperial court to verify whether it is sacrificed for the Ming Dynasty." The preliminary principle is that all registered soldiers, if they die in battle, can be directly verified; Those who are not registered need to be proved by witnesses and physical evidence before they can enter the Daming Martyrs' Hall......"

As soon as they heard this, the reaction of the people below was no longer quiet, and many people were stunned. For example, Xu Wenbo, he is Ma Shilong's family, of course, he will not be registered in the Ministry of War.

This means that if he dies in battle, if he wants to enter the Daming Martyrs' Hall, it will be more troublesome, and he has to prove that he really died for Daming. But everyone is dead, what should I do? It depends on whether the master Ma Shilong wants him to enter the Daming Martyrs' Hall!

Thinking about it like this, Xu Wenbo was suddenly a little dissatisfied, why if he died in battle like other soldiers, this treatment would not be the same, and he might not be able to enter the Daming Martyrs' Hall?

At this moment, he heard Liu Xingzuo raise his voice, and shouted with a majestic voice: "The Ming Loyal Martyrs Hall was built by the emperor's painstaking efforts, and it is where my Ming loyal martyrs are......

As soon as he heard this, Xu Wenbo looked back and thought about it, as if it really should be like this. Otherwise, those rich people who died in their families said that they died for the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't they be able to enter the Ming Martyrs' Hall, become the Ming Martyrs, be worshiped by the emperor, and coexist with the country? If that's the case, it's unreasonable!

It wasn't just him who thought so, but all the junior officers thought so. The family members of those generals suddenly had a trace of regret in their hearts. They couldn't help but think in their hearts, if they didn't have food to eat, clothes to wear, and support their families, the ghost would be this family!

While they were thinking in their hearts, Liu Xingzuo was still saying loudly: "...... All the loyal martyrs enshrined in the Ming Martyrs' Hall, the imperial court will issue a document, as long as there is this document, their immediate family members will have tax and servitude to take care of within ten years, which is less than ordinary people's thirty percent or half. During the New Year's holidays, the government will also express condolences to the ......"

When Xu Wenbo and the others heard this, their eyes suddenly widened, is this true? Even if it's a talented master, he doesn't have this treatment during the New Year's holidays, right? And the conscription tax can be taken care of, so good?

“…… His Majesty also sent a special order to the cabinet and the celebrant to require that there be a must. After the imperial court has abundant finances, the children of the loyal martyrs of the Ming Dynasty can enter the official school for free. The length of the period will depend on the future finances of the imperial court......"

This is another piece of explosive news! You must know that at this time in the late Ming Dynasty, in addition to the slightly higher literacy rate in the Jiangnan area, and the ordinary people also knew a few words, the north of the Ming Dynasty, except for those who had money at home, were almost blind, and there were very few literate people, and even the generals who guarded the town were illiterate.

If children can read and write, they will have more knowledge than others, and they will have more means of earning a living. This kind of thing that benefits future generations, if you can still be indifferent, basically not!

However, they also heard it clearly, what the commander of Jinyiwei relayed just now was a premise, that is, the imperial court had to be rich.

So the question is, is the court rich? As I have just said, not only the court has no money, but even the emperor has no money, and the construction of this Ming Loyal Martyr's Hall has to be made up by the ladies of the palace.

And one of the most basic, military pay! Many of these people in the army have not even received their salaries from a few months ago, and there are even those who have been in arrears from a few years ago. Jizhou, as well as Ningyuan and other places, didn't there be a mutiny because of the arrears of wages!

Thinking of this, all these low-level officers couldn't help but return to reality, looked at the unfinished Daming Martyrs' Hall in front of them, and sighed secretly.

Liu Xingzuo saw their demeanor in his eyes, and was worried about the things explained by the emperor in his heart, so he didn't wait for the emotions below to accumulate again, and immediately said loudly: "However, the court has no money, this is a big problem, and the emperor is deeply worried!" Therefore, the emperor made a great determination to open up sources and reduce expenditure, so that the treasury is full. If the court is rich, the emperor's will can be realized, including the salary of the military and the treatment of the loyal martyrs of the Ming Dynasty, and it will also be realized......"

Hearing this, these low-level officers who had just been depressed couldn't help but raise their heads again and annotate the commander of the Jinyi Guard, wanting to see if this was true or not, how reliable it was?

"For this reason, Lord Shangshu Wen of the Ministry of Rites cited the example of the former Song Dynasty in the early dynasty, saying that my Ming Dynasty was just lawless to make the imperial court's finances poor. The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this, and hereby promoted Lord Wen to be the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty to increase the revenue of the treasury ......"

These low-level officers knew about the affairs of the imperial court, and when they heard it at this time, they immediately felt that the emperor's determination was really resolute, and they couldn't help but feel a little higher in their emotions. At this moment, it is estimated that in addition to the emperor, these soldiers hope that the court will be rich!

"The emperor is also thinking hard about a good prescription, and other measures will be implemented. As long as you keep in mind that everything the emperor has done is for you and for the people of my Ming Dynasty. If the imperial court has money, only then can it be paid for the army, so that you can change your clothes, build water conservancy, and build houses, so that the people of the world can have clothes to wear, food to eat, and houses to live in......"

Listening to Liu Xingzuo's explanation, most of the junior officers couldn't help but follow the narration, and their minds were fascinated, looking forward to the day when that day would come.
