The incident reported by Jiang Mian can be described as a tragic thing in the world. Those who hear are sad, and those who listen are weeping.

Nanzhili has a poor grain harvest, the provinces are hungry, and people cannibalize!

According to the report of Zhu Yi, the people are extremely hungry! As far as he knew, a woman surnamed Liu, whose husband was out on work and was alone at home, actually ate her four-year-old, lively and lovely son.

There are also two hundred households, Yao Chen and Wang Tang are sons, but they sell their mothers as pigs and sheep to others, and then buy other people's parents to kill and eat. There are also two military remnants, one named Cao Hong killed his brother as a younger brother but ate it, and the other named Wang Ming killed his father to eat as a son, which is simply inhumane.

This is still a name and surname, and the family background is good, and it is still so. There are no names and surnames, and those with bad family backgrounds are afraid that there are countless of them.

Recently, there was another earthquake in Nanzhili, and the fog did not disperse for several days, and the stench of decomposing corpses was all within a thousand miles, and rebels were everywhere. Among them, especially Huai'an and Fengyang!

Jiang Mian finished the report and retreated.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty stepped forward to express their stance and get disaster relief!

Yang Tinghe sat there pretending to sleep, his face expressionless, as if his heart was like water.

He peeked at Zhu Houxi from time to time.

Zhu Houxi is also like him, his face is expressionless, and his heart seems to be like water.

Yang Tinghe secretly praised Zhu Houxi, who was able to be like him at a young age, so that he could calm down every time he faced a major event. However, he didn't underestimate Zhu Houxi, he felt that Zhu Houxi's expressionless face should be pretended, he should be anxious at this time, he didn't know what to do, how could he be like a water.

If he was dozens of years younger, the same size as Zhu Houxi, and sat on the dragon chair the same, he would definitely be shocked and panicked when he heard these two things!

The rebels of Datong are besieging the acting king, which is an out-and-out royal family. What would happen if the palace was broken and the king was killed? If you can't even protect your own family, how can you protect the officials and the people? You can't protect anything, why be the emperor!

The famine in Nanzhili was also imminent.

That is Nanzhili, and like the capital, it is the richest place in the world. If there is a famine in such a place, and the news spreads to other places, will the people be panicked and the world will be in chaos.

Moreover, the rebellion has already broken out, and it still started from Fengyang Mansion. What is the place of Fengyang, that is one of the three capitals of the Ming Dynasty, the land of Longxing. Fengyang's reversal, will it make people think that the emperor can't even keep his hometown, is the world about to change hands?

Under the attack of these two major events, not to mention a mortal, even an immortal can't sit still. Yang Tinghe couldn't believe that a teenager could be indifferent to this, and his heart was like water.

can be like him, and he can calm down every time there is a big event.

If Zhu Houxi can really do this, he will admire this kid in his heart.

Yang Tinghe smiled coldly in his heart and said secretly: "Aren't you going to restart the Great Gift Discussion?" Aren't you going to deal with us old ministers? Haven't you already attacked Guozijian, now it's up to you what to do! The two things to be dealt with are very simple, as long as you have money, you can send a large army to encircle and suppress it, and you can provide disaster relief. It's a pity that there is no money!

There is no one in the treasury of the household department, and there is no one in the inner treasury, so you should have a headache for money from today onwards, and see how you restart the Great Gifts Discussion and how to deal with us old ministers. Once you stop, we'll take it easy and crack your first movers one by one to see how you deal with us. ”

He thought proudly, but he didn't know that Zhu Houxi was not short of money. Maybe it was lacking a few months ago, but since He Tianchong came back from Quanzhou, Zhu Houxi has no shortage of money.

The officials in the capital all knew that He Tianchong had a battle with the Japanese in Quanzhou, which saved Quanzhou from being burned and made a lot of contributions. After coming back, he was promoted from 100 households to 1,000 households.

But I don't know that He Tianchong made a contribution when he was in Quanzhou, and when he returned to Beijing, he also brought a lot of loot to the emperor, including nearly 30 million taels of silver in white flowers.

Zhu Houxi didn't spread the news about this matter, and what he was waiting for was today.

People say that they have money in their hands, and they don't panic.

That's what he was like at the moment! The ministers said that these two things are so critical that if they don't deal with them quickly, the country will not be a country. But his heart was as calm as water, and he listened quietly to the ministers who were saying their own things.

About half an hour has passed, and the civil and military officials have not yet ended. Zhu Houxi didn't want to listen any further, coughed lightly, and signaled that he had something to say.

Yang Tinghe raised his eyebrows! Zhu Houxi finally couldn't hold his breath and couldn't pretend anymore. He pricked up his ears to hear how Zhu Houxi was embarrassed.

No matter what Zhu Houxi asked him for a while, he planned to pretend to be deaf and dumb. After all, he is already old. And when people get old, their spirits are not good, and they feel more!

The voice in the hall quickly subsided, and Zhu Houxi said: "Jin Aiqing, if you send troops to suppress the rebels in Datong, how much silver will you need!" ”

Jin Xianmin, the secretary of the military department, thought about it for a while, and already had a rough idea in his chest, and said: "If you don't fight, you will be wiped out in one battle, so as to prevent future troubles." The minister thinks that it is better to count 100,000 within three months. Transferring 30,000 horses from the capital, and letting the guards help along the way, you can get 50,000 people. and transfer 50,000 people around Datong, with this 100,000 people, it is enough to wipe out the thieves. As for the use......"

He hesitated for a moment and said, "There is no accurate number for this, and the minister thinks that two or three hundred thousand taels of silver is enough." ”

The generals led the troops to fight, of course, the more silver the better, and someone immediately said: "Do you think two or three hundred thousand taels of silver is enough, but what if it is not enough?" ”

Jin Xianmin said: "If it's not enough, add it!" ”

The military general said: "In all wars, everything must be prepared in advance, how can there be a reason that it will not be enough to add it when the time comes." Halfway through, there is no food and grass? Can't let the soldiers go hungry? Halfway through the battle, the military salary is gone, so that the soldiers can't die in vain? This will affect morale and will mutiny in serious cases! ”

Jin Xianmin is extremely aggrieved! For the sake of the emperor, he may not be able to take out two or three hundred thousand taels of silver, where can he get more silver!

He squirmed his lips and wanted to hint at the general, but then Zhu Houxi shook his head and said: "Jin Aiqing, Jin Aiqing, 500,000 taels of silver is 500,000 taels of silver, why do you want to say it separately!" ”

Jin Xianmin was stunned! He only said two or three hundred thousand taels of silver, when did he say five hundred thousand taels of silver! However, the emperor spoke like this, which showed his arrogance! But if you are arrogant, who will say, the key is where to find the 500,000 taels of silver!

Zhu Houxi said to the military general again: "Is 500,000 taels of silver enough?" ”

The military general smiled from ear to ear and said, "Back to the saint, 500,000 taels of silver for 100,000 troops to fight for three months, more than enough." ”

Before the words fell, Jiang Mian, the secretary of the household department, stepped forward and bowed: "Holy Lord, the minister has just said that there is no surplus silver in the household treasury, and unless the ministers are deducted from Yicheng's money, they can get more than 100,000 taels of silver." If you want the household department to come up with 500,000 taels of silver, you can't do it if you are incompetent! ”

Zhu Houxi's face turned dark, and he said, "Jiang Aiqing, do I want you to take 500,000 taels of silver?" ”

Jiang Mian was stunned for a moment and said, "No!" After a pause, he said, "Where will the Holy One get 500,000 taels of silver?" ”

Zhu Houxi said: "Where do I want to get 500,000 taels of silver, and I have to tell you if I can't?" Can't I first calculate how much silver it will take to solve these two things? ”

Jiang Mian didn't dare to say anything more, so he shut up and retreated.

Zhu Houxi asked, "Where to go?" ”

Jiang Mian said: "The minister has nothing to say, so he has to return to the class." ”

Zhu Houxi said: "What are you doing in the class?" It's the Nanzhi Great Famine that you reported, and you don't have to work for anything, so you can't give me a calculation, how much silver is needed for disaster relief? ”
