Chapter 290

Chongzhen smiled like this, which made the atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace instantly relax a lot, but Lu Xiangsheng's face became a little ugly, he kicked Yang Quan again, and Yang Quan stood up at this time, but his appearance made Chongzhen, who had just taken a breath, laugh again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Haha, haha, Lu Aiqing, you, don't care, it's your boss of the Tuntian Division, doing things, talking, it's so annoying that people want to laugh, haha" Emperor Chongzhen laughed out of breath.

It wasn't until Lu Xiangsheng's face was as black as a pig's liver that the Chongzhen Emperor forcibly stopped smiling, and he looked at Yang Quan beside Lu Xiangsheng with a smile, "You are Yang Quan, the chief of the Tuntian Division?" ”

Yang Quan was stunned for a moment, and took a step forward, "Return to Your Majesty, it is the last general"

Chongzhen looked at Yang Quan's stunned stand up, but he didn't kneel, knowing that this hia didn't know this etiquette, he finally stopped laughing at the moment, and laughed again.

Lu Xiangsheng looked up at Yang Quan suspiciously, only to see Yang Quan blinking from here, Lu Xiangsheng instantly understood, I'm afraid Yang Quan got some rumors, deliberately making the emperor laugh! However, doing such a courtier's thing, Lu Xiangsheng can't accept it from that aspect!

Chongzhen looked at Yang Quan with a smile, "I heard what Lu Aiqing said yesterday, you have troops under your command, harvesting beans, and yielding more than 200 catties per mu, it can be seen that you are very proficient in Tuntian, if I hand over the Tuntian of a province to you, you may do a good job?" ”

Yang Quan pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that the last general shirks, it's that the minister didn't inspect the land, cultivation situation, and water conservancy conditions of this province, and Weichen is not sure, if it is a field above the Xuanzi, the water conservancy conditions are acceptable, and the last general can guarantee that the yield will increase by more than half compared with before." ”

Chongzhen behind the desk, listening to Yang Quan's words, couldn't help nodding, this is also Yang Quan's trick, if Chongzhen, who has just ascended the throne, does not know much about national political affairs, and is too eager for quick success, he also likes those big words, such as Yuan Chonghuan's five-year Pingliao, when Chongzhen was full of joy, he promoted him exceptionally, and asked for money and things to give things, that is, from that time, Liaodong became a bottomless pit, and the Ming Dynasty invested countless resources and manpower, and after all, it could not fill this big hole.

Since Yuan Chonghuan's five years of Pingliao became a joke, Chongzhen learned that lesson, and finally knew that some words could not be believed, and now, on the contrary, he likes to listen to this truth, Yang Quan has heard such an allusion in history, so he deliberately said so.

In Yang Quan's view, Emperor Chongzhen is repeating the mistakes of employing people again and again, and he is a leader who does not understand the art of employing people at all. But then again, this actually really doesn't blame him, because since he was a child, Chongzhen was not cultivated as the heir of the Ming Empire, and it was his elder brother Emperor Tianqi who really received this kind of education, so when the weather emperor faced the collapse of the Ming Dynasty's finances and the depletion of tax sources, he would use Wei Zhongxian and let him act as the royal vicious dog, and snatch back all the tax assets that originally belonged to the country.

Therefore, before the death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he would call Chongzhen, the king of letters, and admonished Chongzhen with thousands of instructions not to move Wei Zhongxian, but Chongzhen, who had been fooled by the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and was fooled by a scholar like the Donglin Party, after all, he still did not listen to the words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and got Wei Zhongxian, and then the result was stunned, the property of the Ming Dynasty was squandered within a few years of Donglin's coming to power, and the Ming finances, which had just improved, were on the verge of collapse again, and Chongzhen didn't know at all, The problem of the imperial court is that it only spreads the tax burden evenly on the ordinary people, and those scholars and eunuchs still escape from the tax system, and the land taxed in the whole country is decreasing every year, but the taxes on the people are getting heavier and heavier every year. Finally, the desperate people had no choice but to rise up.

Perhaps, today's Chongzhen understands this truth, and he doesn't know that he has been scolding those scholars in Donglin for n years, and for Chongzhen, who has strong self-esteem, because he said when he ascended the throne that he didn't need eunuchs and factory guards, it was equivalent to throwing away the few cards left in the emperor's hand, and he couldn't wipe his face to use people, as a result, the Ming Dynasty had to stumble towards destruction, even if there is now Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou and others to support, but the building has collapsed, and it is difficult to support.

Emperor Chongzhen, who has a problem with employing people, listened to Yang Quan's words at this time, and was more relieved for Yang Quan, such a person, in this position in Tuntian, although he can't make any great achievements, but he can make steady efforts, which is also what many Ming officials lack today. At this time, he asked Yang Quan, "Yesterday for dinner in the palace, you asked Fuqing to send a dish to the palace?" ”

Yang Quan's heart sank, knowing that this was the critical time. At the moment, he cheered up and said, "Your Majesty, this dish is a game of the end of the game, please taste it for His Royal Highness the County Lord, but after His Royal Highness the County Lord ate it, he felt that this dish was very delicious, and he thought of His Majesty in the palace and all the mothers, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had never eaten such a dish, so the county lord asked his subordinates to make another plate and sent it to the palace." Let the nobles in the palace try it. ”

Chongzhen heard Yang Quan say this, but there was a smile on his face, if this matter is said like this, it is impossible to criticize Yang Quan, and this is all the Fuqing County Lord sat down, Fuqing can be regarded as a piece of filial piety in the palace. At this time, in Chongzhen's heart, the resentment towards Yang Quan after sending dinner had long since dissipated.

Since this suspicion has also gone, Emperor Chongzhen, of course, is not stingy with a little reward, he sat up straight, "Tuntian Division General Yang Quan, diligent, capable and talented, Tuntian has a lot of experience, promoted to Xuanda Tuntian Envoy, Xuanfu Datong Shanxi Three Towns Acting, under the control of Xuanda Governor!" “

Where does Yang Quan not know that his performance was not in vain, Emperor Chongzhen has promoted himself! Yang Quan, who was excited at the moment, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and shouted long live the mountain, thanking the lord Longen.

Yang Quan looked at Chongzhen with a very high expression, and wanted to talk to Emperor Chongzhen about this corn tribute, otherwise the matter of raising Xuanda's military expenses would have to be a water ticket. Therefore, when Yang Quan came, he had already communicated with Lu Xiangsheng, and Lu Xiangsheng, who was overwhelmed by military salaries, couldn't take care of it so much. When he took the next step, he said to His Majesty Emperor Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, since March this year, the military town of Xuanfu has no silver to pay down, and the two towns of Xuanda are short of more than 200,000 yuan of silver, please ask Your Majesty to make someone allocate it." “

Chongzhen, who was smiling, had a moving expression on his face, and his eyes shot like a sharp sword. Although Chongzhen tried his best to cover it up now, the panic in his eyes couldn't be concealed. Because no matter how Chongzhen hides it, there is a fact that will not become, that is, now the Ming household department is already poor and has no money. Although he still has some materials for Chongzhen's internal anger, it is necessary to use money on the blade, (to be continued.) )
