Soon! Everyone came to the Qianqing Palace, knelt down and sat down after bowing, Chongzhen nodded, and said: "This New Year's call to all Aiqing to come, I know it's not good, Aiqing has been busy for a year, it's rare to rest, but I can't help it, the situation is urgent, you take a look at this note first!" As he spoke, he showed Yuan Keli's recital to everyone to watch. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Without exception, everyone frowned, and Chongzhen looked at everyone: "I think everyone has seen it!" Now let's talk about what to do! ”

Shoufu Shi Feng came to say first: "Your Majesty! This matter is very troublesome, if we don't sell, then we will push the Mongols to the Houjin, which will increase the power of the Houjin, and multiply the pressure on Liaodong and our northern front, if we sell, the Mongols will probably sell grain to the Houjin people to help them survive this famine. ”

Everyone nodded, Shi Feng came to see that everyone recognized his words, and couldn't help but be secretly happy: "Therefore, the minister thinks that this grain still has to be sold, but you have to pay attention to it!" ”

Chongzhen nodded: "That's good!" Aiqing continues! Hearing His Majesty's praise from the emperor, Shi Fenglai was even more happy, and continued: "The old minister thinks that we sell according to their heads, and we can sell as much grain as we want, and we can't sell more!" ”

It seems that it is the same way to deal with it in history, but in history, Yuan Chonghuan resisted the decree and became open for sale, Chongzhen nodded: "Do you have anything else to add?" ”

Everyone couldn't think of anything to add for a while, and suddenly fell into silence, Chongzhen said: "Now there is also a food shortage in my Ming Dynasty, not to mention SX, even in Phi Dao in Liaodong, I have already sent a request for food to me through Governor Yuan, as well as the northwest and so on!" And if this grain is sold to the Mongols, they are not likely to sell it to Houjin, but for sure! But we can't help but sell, so it will indeed be as everyone thinks, the Mongols will immediately fall to Houjin and become the enemy of my Ming Dynasty, which is also what I don't want to see, so I still sell it according to the decision of all Aiqing! But of course, this sale is also sold according to their number of heads, and when it is sold, it is sold at 10 times the market price of our current grain, of course, this can allow Yuan Aiqing to test the other party's bottom line, and must sell at the highest price, if it can be exchanged for some war horses and other materials, cattle and sheep are also good, I can transfer it to SX What do you think Aiqing thinks? ”

First of all, when the two housekeepers of the household department heard this, they didn't think about it for a while, and immediately seconded it, and the other three cabinets looked at each other, discussed and discussed, and all of them seconded it. Chongzhen nodded: "That's very good!" I'll give Yuan Aiqing a will! I'm looking forward to seeing what he does! Everyone else couldn't help but chuckle, and now there are Mongolian and Houjin headaches.

Chongzhen continued: "It's still about the issue of food, last year's reorganization of the Beijing camp, a lot of old weapons and guns have been eliminated, I look at the waste of throwing them in the warehouse, I want to take it to North Korea for some food and military funds, do you think it's okay?" ”

After hearing this, Shi Fenglai came out and said, "Your Majesty! Our Ming Dynasty is the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire, will this exchange of armament with a vassal country for food, will it insult the national prestige of our Celestial Empire? ”

Are you a pig? Can't you send someone who can speak well? Wouldn't it be nice to brag about it? Chongzhen scolded in his heart.

"Do you have any other suggestions?" Chongzhen didn't answer Shi Fenglai's words, and turned his head to ask the others.

Sun Chengzong looked at Chongzhen, and said: "Your Majesty, this method is also feasible, exchanging military funds for food will not be wasted, and we can get food to alleviate our food shortage; Second, it can also enhance the military strength of the DPRK and help our army share some of the pressure from Houjin; It is necessary to select a suitable person to be appointed as an envoy to the DPRK. ”

The two of them nodded when they heard this, anyway, as long as they can help them share the pressure, they are all good policies, Chongzhen nodded: "Then you Aiqing recommend individuals!" ”

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said, "The old minister elected Chief Political Commissar Li!" ”

The other people looked at each other and understood, so they all seconded the proposal, and Chongzhen said in his heart: "Why did I forget this guy!" That's good! By the way, take a look at the results of his recent work! ”

"In that case! I sent Li Guozhen as an envoy to North Korea to negotiate a deal! Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction! Suddenly, as if I remembered something, I suddenly came again: "Xu Aiqing, how is the situation of the sweet potato and corn experiment?" ”

Xu Guangqi replied: "Your Majesty! Now that the experiment is almost complete, we will collect a batch of seeds and go to SX and other provinces to try them out! ”

"So good! That's all for today! All of you Aiqing go back and have a happy New Year! Chongzhen smiled.

"Wait for the resignation!" After everyone saluted, they retreated and went back to celebrate the festival with their families, and soon Li Guozhen rushed to meet Emperor Chongzhen: "See Your Majesty!" Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! ”

Chongzhen smiled and said, "Aiqing, please get up!" I'm not too embarrassed to summon you for the New Year! ”

"Where! Where! As long as Your Majesty is in need! The minister is going to the soup and the fire! Never give up! Li Guozhen said firmly.

"Haha! Good! Aiqing is dedicated to my Daming! For me! I'm so pleased! Chongzhen patted Li Guozhen's shoulder and said, "How is it?" How's the work going? ”

"Back to Your Majesty! Everything is still going well! I believe that it will be another 2-3 months! The first batch of political commissars can be inspected by His Majesty! Li Guozhen said respectfully.

"Excellent! Well done! The main reason for calling you here this time is to let you run errands for me and go to North Korea, you also know that after the reform of the Beijing camp, a lot of weapons and armor were withdrawn, as well as bird guns, etc., and now there are a lot of them in the armory, and I think it is a waste to put them, so I want to use these to go to North Korea in exchange for some food, I think about it, this glorious task is suitable for Aiqing alone! What does Aiqing think? Chongzhen looked at Li Guozhen and said.

It turned out that I was asked to send an envoy to North Korea, but this thing is going to be done, and it is also a great achievement to exchange for the much-needed grain and grass for His Majesty. So he said: "There is no problem with the minister!" It's just that I'm worried that Kim will attack Korea when the minister sends an envoy。。。。。。 ”

"Aiqing rest assured! Now they have a food shortage, and they won't send troops for the time being, but Aiqing is better as soon as possible! I can't guarantee whether they will send troops to Korea if they faint from hunger, but your worries are good, I will keep Governor Yuan on the lookout, so you can rest assured! Chongzhen patted Li Guozhen on the shoulder, indicating that he was reassured.

"So! Prepare to prepare! Then you can go to North Korea! Li Guozhen thought for a while.

"Aiqing can leave in five days!" Chongzhen Road

"The minister wants to complete this matter as soon as possible, so as not to have variables! The minister worships the ancestors tomorrow and leaves immediately after arranging the family! I hope Your Majesty will grant permission! Li Guozhen hugged his fists.

"That's it! Aiqing is dedicated to the country! I am very relieved! I'll give you a great credit when I'm done! Chongzhen nodded happily.

After sending Li Guozhen away, Chongzhen was also in a much happier mood! He ordered Wang Chengen to summon Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan and his sister-in-law Empress Zhang to Kunning Palace, and the family had a good dinner in the New Year.
