Chapter Seventy-One: The Land Reform of the Beijing Division and the Birth of a New Cabinet

Although Chongzhen has been thinking about the time of reforming the early dynasty, but always busy forgetting this stubble, the war is over, thinking about a lot of things can finally be brushed up, since the cabinet is reorganized, some small reforms are also on the same side, thinking about this Chongzhen is reluctant to leave the warm bed, began to prepare for the court, although Queen Zhou has a big belly, but still wants to change Chongzhen's clothes but was rejected by Chongzhen, Chongzhen gently helped her to the bedside, "Ning'er is good!" Don't move now, just rest, just take a good rest, just come by myself for such a trivial matter! ”

"How can this work? Your Majesty! "Queen Zhou is a little stubborn. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

"That's it! Let Qiao'er come! What if you move like this, what if you have a tire gas? Listen to me and rest more! Shrewd! Chongzhen said gently.

"The concubine obeys!" Queen Zhou also knew Chongzhen's temperament, and finally ordered Qiao'er to change Chongzhen's clothes, watching this little beauty change her clothes, Chongzhen couldn't help but feel a little itchy, now these three concubines are pregnant, and she wants to come to a result of the three, saying that she is afraid of moving the fetal gas, which will affect the dragon species, Chongzhen is speechless, it seems that these ten months are not good, he sighed in his heart, or take Qiao'er away? Occasionally, such evil thoughts come up, anyway, I am the emperor, and all the women in the world are mine, Qiao'er still married with the queen, who will I not give it back to? However, although he had such thoughts, he would still be suppressed in the end, shaking his head helplessly, looking at Queen Zhou's appearance, Chongzhen seemed to not want to do these things, as if he would be sorry for Queen Zhou if he did so, and he would feel guilty! This made Chongzhen feel very surprised, could it be that he had crossed over in the future, so he would have such thoughts? Pouted, ate a little early Chongzhen went to the court, and when he left, he also told the queen that he was going to Concubine Tian at night, and now he is changing one a day, taking care of them one by one, and the rain and dew are evenly wet, but they are all just hugging, so that Chongzhen is painful and happy。。。。。。

Sitting on the dragon chair, the officials below shouted long live! Looking at the large and small officials kneeling below, although there were many officials because of Shi Fenglai's case, the impact on the court was not too great, and they were quickly replaced by the substitutes, "I hope there will be a few talented people in this batch, and this Wang Yongguang's ability will not give parallel goods to Lao Tzu and put them in this court, right?!" ”

"All Aiqing, let's be flat!" Chongzhen Road.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The crowd stood up.

Wang Chengen routinely roared: "There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat!" ”

Guo Yunhou, the head of the household, came out first and said: "Your Majesty! Now that the war is over, this is first of all the rewards and pensions for the soldiers after the war, as well as the reconstruction of the suburbs of Jingshi and the reconstruction of Juyong Pass, the expenses required have been counted, and the cabinet has approved it, so I beg Your Majesty to take a look! ”

Wang Chengen took it and presented it to Chongzhen, Chongzhen opened it and took a look,! All of them add up to nearly two million taels of silver! However, the specific cost of each item has been clearly written, Chongzhen nodded, this work is done very well, it seems that Guo Yunhou and Bi Ziyan have worked hard, Chongzhen closed it after reading it: "Quasi-play!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! However, Your Majesty, with so much silver taels, the household department can't turn it around at once, so 。。。。。。。 Guo Yunhou was embarrassed.

"I know!" Chongzhen lamented.

"How much money is there in the household now?" Chongzhen asked.

"Back to Your Majesty! One million taels! Guo Yunhou plucked up a lot of courage and said, after speaking, Chongzhen frowned, Guo Yunhou continued: "Your Majesty! Now that everything is piled up after the war, the cost is large, and His Majesty ordered Xu Ge Lao to mass-produce the flintlock pistol, which took out most of the silver taels of the household at once, so 。。。。。。 ”

After Xu Guangqi's many experiments and Lu Xiangsheng's reflection report in actual combat, the flintlock pistol finally passed the acceptance, Chongzhen ordered to start batch construction, plus the recent construction of new artillery requires a lot of silver, and Xu Guangqi was embarrassed to ask the emperor for money, so he could only ask Guo Yunhou, His Majesty the Emperor said! You guys have to give me your full support! There was no way, Guo Yunhou had to allocate the limited funds to Xu Guangqi, which caused the embarrassment of the lack of silver in the household department now.

Chongzhen nodded and said with a smile: "Aiqing is hard, I understand, I will allocate 1.5 million taels to you from the inside, and the household department can't do without depositing silver!" Just in case! ”

Guo Yunhou kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! "It's good to have a leader who understands you! Guo Yunhou felt in his heart.

"Speaking of the reconstruction work on the outskirts of Beijing, how are these victims resettled now?" Chongzhen asked.

"Back to Your Majesty! Now the imperial court has set up temporary tents in the suburbs, and prepared rice and clothing to ensure that the victims have no worries about food and clothing! Guo Yun said kindly.

Chongzhen nodded: "How long will this post-disaster reconstruction work take?"

At this time, Xu Guangqi came out and said: "Back to Your Majesty!" At the current pace, it will take three months! ”

"Three-month 。。。。。。" Chongzhen pondered for a while and said: "Register all the real estate and land properties of all the officials in the current rebellion case, and all the land in the suburbs of Beijing will be remeasured and registered!" In accordance with the land law implemented in Shaanxi, I will remove the land that I am cultivating now, and the rest of the land that has not been cultivated will also be added to the land and distributed to the people for cultivation, so that it should be able to catch up with a wave of harvest, so that the people will not have no harvest after three months! In addition, for the property loss of Aiqing in the suburbs, the imperial court will give some subsidies, Guo Aiqing, you can count it well! Chongzhen commanded.

The emperor suddenly said the reform, so that the others did not react, you must know that many of the officials in the hall have land in the suburbs, and there are a lot of them, of course, most of them are illegally occupied, so the reform is the most lossy, but now the top boss has no objection, and they dare not speak up.

"What? Have an objection? Chongzhen asked.

There was still no voice from the crowd, "Teacher! Xu Ge Lao! Do your cabinet think my arrangement is feasible? Chongzhen asked.

Xu Guangqi has no land in the suburbs anyway, so it doesn't matter, and the emperor is also thinking about the people, and His Majesty the Emperor also said that there will be some subsidies for the loss of officials, and His Majesty the Emperor has also put his own imperial village into it, so Xu Guangqi said: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

And Sun Chengzong understands the interests involved, although he has no property in the suburbs, but most of the officials in Beijing have fields in the suburbs, and even many royal relatives and nobles, nobles and nobles have fields, of course, a large part of them are illegally occupied fields, if this is served to a pot, then if these people make trouble, this difficult and stable situation will be chaotic again, so Sun Chengzong said: "Your Majesty! Lao Chen thought that this matter could be carried out slowly, and he could count the ownerless land first, and then proceed step by step! ”

Hearing Sun Chengzong say this, Chongzhen naturally understood the relationship between interests, and said secretly in his heart: "At this time, if the situation is stable after not changing, they will be relieved, where will I still be allowed to meddle in this field, and it will be difficult to swallow it and spit it out!" So he said: "In this case, first count the ownerless, and the owner will verify the valid contract one by one, and the court that cannot get a valid contract will buy it at half of the market price!" ”

Sun Chengzong heard His Majesty say this, and it is estimated that His Majesty is determined to reform, thinking about it, take advantage of the opportunity to start again now, and it will be difficult to start with the stability of the situation in the future, so he finally shook his head and said: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

Seeing that the cabinet agreed, the others had no choice but to second, and it seemed that this time they were going to hemorrhage, and everyone lamented.

"The investment promotion work of the cement road can also be carried out! Originally, it was decided that I would have a cabinet, and there would be six ministries and merchants to invest together, but now I will divide this part into six ministries, and you Aiqing have also worked hard during this time, so I will reward you Aiqing! Chongzhen smiled.

Immediately, the people who lamented in their hearts reacted, this is His Majesty the Emperor's compensation for them, and they summed it up in their hearts, half the price plus the income of this cement road, and the earnings, so they all smiled, long live the mountain!

Chongzhen shook his head, as for those royal relatives and nobles, Xungui allocated a share to them from the road construction in other places when the time came, Chongzhen wanted to confiscate it directly, after all, it was illegal, but who made the emperor the representative of these big landlords? The earth mainly doesn't support you, how can you still be the emperor? Being an emperor is also a little helpless.

Having solved this matter, Chongzhen said: "Teacher! Now that the cabinet is understaffed, Xu Aiqing is busy with research, Yuan Aiqing is far away in Liaodong, and the teacher alone is really not enough to deal with it. ”

As soon as everyone heard that the emperor was going to increase the number of cabinet members, they were immediately excited, you must know that if you enter that circle, then your status and prestige will rise in a straight line, and they all look at Sun Chengzong, hoping that Sun Chengzong will call out his name, and the final result is of course some people are happy and some are worried, only to see Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi After a short eye contact, they came out and said: "Your Majesty Xie is concerned!" The old minister recommended Cheng Ji, the left waiter of the Ministry of Officials, and Liu Hongxun, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, into the cabinet! ”

Hearing Sun Chengzong say this, the ministers below all exclaimed, especially Wang Yongguang and Li Yangde, they didn't enter the cabinet themselves, why did their subordinates enter the cabinet instead? This was unfair, but none of them dared to question Sun Chengzong, so they could only sigh.

Although Wang Yongguang and Li Yangde felt unfair in their hearts, His Majesty the Emperor was already grateful that he had not dealt with them because of the eunuch case and the rebellion case before, so he did not object.

"Xu Aiqing! Why do you think? Chongzhen said.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Xu Guangqi said.

"What about Aiqing?" Chongzhen asked again.

The six Shangshu are somewhat related to the eunuch case and the rebellion case, and now the emperor is thankful that they don't trouble them, and now of course they won't make a stumbling block for the emperor, so they have seconded it, and the others have no opinion when they see the boss, how dare they have opinions, they have seconded it, Chongzhen nodded, "Feng Chengji is a scholar of Dongge University and enters the cabinet, and Liu Hongxun is a scholar of Wuyingdian University and enters the cabinet!" Sun Chengzong made meritorious contributions to the defense of Beijing and the coordination of various tasks of the Beijing Division, and was crowned a scholar of the Zhongji Temple and the first assistant of the cabinet! ”

Sun Chengzong and Liu Hongxun, Cheng Jiming knelt down at the same time: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! ”

Sun Chengzong finally reached the pinnacle of his dream, and he was a very popular minister, but Cheng Jiming and Liu Hongxun never expected that they would enter the cabinet, and they were immediately excited!

Chongzhen nodded: "Let's be even!" ”

Watching them get up, Chongzhen continued: "I have an idea, in the future, the time of the court will be changed to the time of Chen, and the Aiqing of the Tuyao Day and the Solar Sun in the middle of each month will rest at home, and will not be used for the office of the imperial court, and if there is an emergency, it will be directly transmitted to the cabinet, and the cabinet members will be on duty for these two days!" ”

The ministers were stunned again, Your Majesty's idea has never been seen in all dynasties, give us a holiday? Still have two days off?

"What? Do you guys think it's bad? Although it is a rest, it is not used for the office of the imperial court, but Yu Lu Zhen is given according to it! Chongzhen smiled.

Many people laughed when they heard this! And such a good thing? Could this be the compensation given to us by His Majesty the Emperor? However, they didn't dare to show it directly, and many people still said contrivedly: "Your Majesty! Such a practice has not been done for thousands of years, and it seems to violate the ancestral system! ”

"I'm thinking about your Aiqing's body! If you're tired, how can you do it for Daming? Chongzhen asked.

"This 。。。。。。。" Everyone was embarrassed.

"What about the opinion of the Cabinet?" Chongzhen asked.

Because everyone in the cabinet except Xu Guangqi, everyone else has just been promoted, of course, they will not find fault with the emperor, and they all immediately seconded it, and the emperor only does it good for them to do it, they have no reason to object, Xu Guangqi is as long as the emperor's approach is right, he will unconditionally support it, and so much is conducive to the implementation of the new calendar he is organizing and compiling, and he immediately raised his hands in favor.

The other ministers also cooperated and shouted second, and they were all happy, hello! Hello me! Hello everyone! Finally, I don't have to leave the warm fragrant quilt early in the morning, and I can finally have time to accompany my wife and children, and everyone cheers in their hearts。。。。。。

Chongzhen smiled: "Since that's the case! Let's discuss this today, and all the performances will be delivered to the cabinet first! Ladies and gentlemen, let's go meet our heroes first! ”

"Retreat!" Wang Chengen said.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty! Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! ”

Chongzhen smiled and waved his hand, and went to the predetermined place to prepare to receive these triumphant heroes, while the ministers went out of the city to greet them under the leadership of the new cabinet.
