Chongzhen's ten years of the world is still peaceful, Jiannu does not come, although the rebellious peasant army is a headache for the imperial court, but it can be somewhat relieved, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting are still powerful, the peasant army is scattered everywhere, and the court has a lot of face. As for the place being destroyed, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty chose to forget, and they really can't take care of this.

As long as the peasant army can be defeated, then everything is easy to say.

If the place is destroyed, it will be rebuilt when the place is settled.

In October, the weather gradually cooled down, and the people in the south of the Yangtze River were idle, but the military households of Jinshanwei were busy in full swing, and every household was building greenhouses and preparing to plant vegetables in the greenhouses.

This is a good phenomenon, and Li Chuan naturally fully supports it.

The productivity of this era is too low, prices have been rising, silver is becoming less and less valuable, the goods on Taobao are the best gold-absorbing artifact in this era, the silver of the car has reached his hands, but to buy a pig now has to go to Songjiang or even Suzhou to buy, which makes Li Chuan more and more aware of the importance of encouraging and developing production.

Silver is only money, not a substitute for food.

When the common people can't eat, the silver loses its value.

The high yield of corn can solve the problem of feeding the military households in Jinshanwei, and the planting of vegetables in greenhouses can greatly enrich various materials, which can generate income for the military households, and the surplus can be used to feed poultry.

When every family in Jinshanwei raises pigs next year, it will be much easier to buy pigs.

"My lord, the statistics are out."

Lu Congliang reported: "Those Yiren ships have a total of more than 30,000 taels of silver, more than spices and various goods, adding up to no less than 300,000 silver, all of which have been sealed into the treasury, I don't know what to do with those goods?" ”

"These Brits aren't your average rich!"

Li Chuan smashed his mouth and said: "More than 300,000 taels of silver and goods, no wonder Europeans want to be pirates, just grab it all the way to get rich, more than 300,000 taels of silver, enough for 5,000 soldiers and horses for a year's expenses." ”

Lu Congliang didn't know why the adults called those ghosts British, so he didn't say anything, and waited for the following.

"The goods are all sold!"

Li Chuan said: "Let Wan Youqing's gang deal with it according to the market price, and all the silver obtained will be sealed into the treasury for public use." With this input, no matter how much the guard has to spend, the official will not pay for it out of his own pocket. ”

"The subordinate obeys!"

Lu Congliang gave up, and turned around to find Wan Youqing and others.

Capital.

Emperor Chongzhen's face was pale, and he paced briskly in the main hall, his eyes breathing fire, as if he wanted to eat people.

Wang Chengen stood to the side like a stake, his gaze moving back and forth with Emperor Chongzhen.

"If you commit adultery, I can't spare them."

Emperor Chongzhen said: "I have always trusted my courtiers, and I didn't believe that these people would collude with Jin merchants for small profits, but I didn't expect that those who jumped out against me now happen to be these people, and they should be killed." ”

Wang Chengen also felt that those people should be killed, but he didn't dare to speak indiscriminately in state affairs.

"Message!"

Emperor Chongzhen was really angry: he said murderously: "Ordered Fang Zhenghua to supervise the East Factory and inspect the lawless." ”

"Slave Servant."

Wang Chengen was shocked, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly received the order.

After His Majesty ascended the throne, he uprooted the power of the central officials, and entrusted all the state affairs to the ministers of the court.

When the news comes out, I don't know what kind of uproar it will cause.

As a result, the next day, as soon as Emperor Chongzhen came to the court, a royal historian jumped out and asked: "I heard that Your Majesty intends to reopen the East Factory, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned, he only made the decree last night, and the matter of the factory guard is only the cabinet, why is it not dawn yet, the minister of the court and the central government knew it, and couldn't help but glance at the imperial history, and said embarrassedly: "There is indeed such a thing." ”

The imperial history said bitterly: "Your Majesty, the factory guards are all tigers and wolves, the apocalypse was castrated and misled the country, fortunately, His Majesty wisely eradicated the eunuch party, and now why abandon the gentleman and use the eunuch, this is the way to die in the country, please take back your Majesty's life." ”

"Please retract your order."

The voice fell, and most of the ministers of the DPRK and China came out at once, echoing in unison.

Emperor Chongzhen's face was blue with anger at that time, he brushed his sleeves and left directly.

The ministers looked at each other, exchanged a few glances, and dispersed in twos and threes.

In October, the weather is crisp and cool.

In the naval camp, the sound of tinkling is endless.

More than 700 British sailors were recovering five wrecked warships, and Huang Tianxiang was supervising the work with hundreds of soldiers.

Drifted across the ocean to Dongyan to pan for gold, but he didn't want to become a slave.

If given the opportunity to choose, Weddell would definitely not come back to the East.

Not to mention being able to eat a meal of clear soup and rotten vegetables every day, and having to do heavy physical work, even if the crew is strong, they can't hold it for a month, and all the British know first-hand why the slaves they caught would rather die than escape.

It's a life like this, and if it continues, Weddell thinks he's going crazy.

It's not that I didn't want to escape, but I couldn't escape at all.

A few people wanted to run before, but there were too many people in this hellish place, and they couldn't escape at all, and several of the escaped crew members were all tied to stones and sunk into the sea after being caught, and no one dared to run anymore.

Weddell didn't protest, but it was useless, the young excessive Ming official ignored his protest at all, not only did not let them eat, but also let them plough the ground and repair the ditch for those Ming people, let them do all the hard work, just don't let them be idle, in just one month, everyone has lost weight.

Looking up at the sky, Weddell had never felt that life was so gloomy.

The weather was nice and the sun was shining brightly.

Li Chuan was lying on a soft chair, lazily basking in the sun, and he was about to fall asleep.

Under a gazebo not far away, Su Xiaomei was teaching five little girls to read.

Although a few little girls are the age of fun, they are very obedient, in addition to reading and reading every day, they also have to practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and from time to time they have to do some work within their ability, such as cleaning or something.

In a vegetable field not far away, Li Man and Su Liang took a few mothers-in-law to plant vegetables in the field.

Just when Li Chuan was about to fall asleep, a family member hurriedly ran in and said a few words in his ear.

"Chen Er is back?"

Li Chuan perked up and immediately sat up straight.

"Yes, young master."

Jia Ding nodded hurriedly: "Just wait in the front yard." ”

"Quick, let him come to me."

Li Chuan immediately instructed that Chen Er was one of the few clever family members left behind when he left the capital last time, and was responsible for finding out the news in the capital, and now that he rushed back, he naturally had important news.
