Everything is smooth, and Zhu Cihong's interest is also very good.

Seeing him like this, the guards around him were also full of smiles.

The Generalissimo's Mansion has a battalion of direct guard battalions, but now there are only about 100 people, and the direct guard battalion is in charge of Liu Zhaohui, the son of the lord, and now the direct guard of the prince, which is also very suitable.

When I left the palace in the evening, I went to several places, and in the end, I came to the mansion of Feng Yuanbiao, the minister of the guard.

The military generals around Zhu Cihong's cronies are not too weak. Although, except for Wei Yue, there are not many great generals, but now, it will be perfunctory.

The civil service team is very miserable.

Like Chen Zhenhui, Hou Fangyu, and even Yu Huai and others, there is no one available, and ready-made talents for recovering from the society are caught in. Putting aside the fact that there is no major conflict, these people can also work for him.

But if one day Fushe and Donglin make some small moves, and Zhu Cihong can't bear it, what will happen to these people?

In Zhu Cihong's own opinion, turning against Donglin Fushe is probably inevitable in the future. The reason is also very simple, it is the conflict of interests.

On the one hand, in order to reorganize the rivers and mountains, it is necessary to totalitarianize and militarize. It is necessary to fully mobilize the country and make full use of the huge national strength of the Ming Dynasty, instead of being scattered as it is now, the country actually has a population of more than 100 million, but it was wiped out by a small tribe of less than 200,000 people.

What a shame!

Fushe and Donglin, on the other hand, represent the emerging bourgeoisie and represent the interests of their own strata and the middle and lower strata of the people.

During the Wanli period, tax supervisors and mine supervisors did infringe on the interests of large landlords and big businessmen, and at the same time harmed a large number of ordinary people. From this point of view, some of the Donglin Party's attacks are justified.

But more often than not, it's just for the sake of the interests of the class...... Under the chaotic finances of the Ming Dynasty, a reluctant pseudo-silver standard economic system was now formed, and the massive influx of silver brought with it severe inflation and an unprecedented class.

This class is capital as the nucleus!

And the representative figures are the Donglin Party and the Restoration Society!

In fact, there were no real big landlords and feudal lords in Jiangnan, because there were too many people and too many gentry, and they could not annex land without restrictions.

As a result, a large amount of idle capital was used for the initial industrial accumulation and more overseas trade.

This is a cycle formed under a specific situation, since the opening of the sea at the end of the Ming Dynasty, in the past few decades, the civil qualifications and the emerging class have indeed grown stronger day by day.

In this way, it is a pattern of common hatred and hatred. Originally, the gentry class of the Ming Dynasty could not exist apart from their own class because of the low salary policy, that is, no matter how big a person was an official, he could not deviate from the interests of his own class and fully serve the royal family.

Because his salary was insufficient, he must have to submit to some of the conventions of his own class.

For example, the bad habits of investment and hidden accounts, arrears of positive payments, control of local finances and taxes, etc.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, when industry and commerce developed to this point, their own interests had been linked, coupled with the unique cultural inheritance of reading in Jiangnan, a huge interest group combining power, money, and culture was formed...... From this point of view, the so-called "germ of capitalism" can be regarded as a real thing...... Of course, because of the resistance of Chinese cultural inheritance to science and the rejection of the so-called "miraculous skills", especially without theoretical guidance, capital accumulation has not brought about technological and industrial changes, and to a certain extent, capital can only be used for squandering.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, morale was recognized as a great evil, and the collapse of the country was imminent, and the drunken gold fans on the Qinhuai River were just a microcosm of the degeneration of the gentry class in this country.

So at this time in the late Ming Dynasty, the situation was very paradoxical, obviously the silver was all rising, and the folk gentry and bigwigs burned their hands with a lot of money, like Qian Qianyi of Donglin, and Mao Xiang of the Fushe, all of which were not rich families, but they all had three or five gardens and a net worth of hundreds of thousands of taels...... The people are so rich that the emperor is poor and wants to be his pants...... Fuck with whom!

Obviously, there is a large population, and the taxes are added to the family, but there are no soldiers to use, and there is no salary to pay!

Obviously, the land is vast and abundant, the north is in trouble, the south will replace grain with cash crops, and all the grain in the south of the Yangtze River will be bought and eaten! Grain production is declining year by year, and the gentry don't pay industrial and commercial taxes, even if they don't pay industrial and commercial taxes, there are still hidden households in the fields, investment charges, and land offerings, with all kinds of tricks, changing the law to suck the blood of the country!

Although there is a huge political axe, the administrative efficiency is very low.

In fact, the central authority has disappeared!

The gentry class of this dynasty has formed its own pattern and no longer serves the Ming Dynasty!

The Dongyu in the north is an extremely backward and barbaric fishing and hunting civilization, while the core of the Ming Dynasty has stepped out of the agricultural civilization, because the ruling core of this country, the elite class has touched the threshold of another civilization, so compared to the situation of the Ming Dynasty, the Donglin Party and the Fushe are politically, economically, and culturally, they are too far ahead...... In this way, because there is no process of science and technology and industrialization, the advance of culture and economy has brought about serious military backwardness, and the tragedy of the late Ming Dynasty, in addition to natural disasters, the foundation of [***] is roughly here...... How can such a resumption and Donglin not fight?

If you don't fight now, how can you not fight in the future!

Riding on a horse, Zhu Cihong's heart was just a fire. God is pitiful, God sent him to settle some people's dreams, to twist the development of things back to its original trajectory!

Huaxia must not be what it is now!

………… Now Chen Mingxia, in the name of the Generalissimo's Office Military and Political Division, is living in Yangzhou and Huai'an before the festival, and first checks the operation of Liu Konghe's Lijin card.

From Yang, Huai, and Xu, there are dozens of prefectures and counties, and the places are still rich at this time, and there are very many businessmen and people...... Of course, the poll tax is very limited, and if you just bring some belongings and visit relatives and friends, of course, you don't have to give money. The cargo of mules and horses will be determined according to the amount of goods and the number of mules and horses.

The main target of the levy is the merchants.

Now it is helpless to Donglin and the Restoration Society, then the first curve to save the country, the first to draw money, Huaiyang area, is the north and south of the Jin, although it is a war, there is still a continuous end of business travel, even if it is the front line in the future, there will also be private trade, to occupy this place, it is simply a blessed land given by God...... It is very appropriate to draw points in the Huaiyang area, it is simply wonderful!

As for the cruelty of industry and commerce...... Thankfully, what we want now is to destroy industry and commerce...... There is also a serious tariff cleanup, and the next step is the salt administration in Huaiyang.

Sorted out, the income of several million silver a year is also very rare...... Of course, that's also a super hornet's nest. But the wonderful thing is that the salt administration has always been the domain of the lords and eunuchs, well, both classes are now basically swept into the dustbin of history...... In the twilight, riding on a tall white horse, Zhu Cihong also showed a rare smile...... Wang Yuan arrived at Li Gong and said softly: "Why is the young master smiling so ugly?" ”

"I think it's time for the young master to marry the crown princess......"

"Whose house is good? I heard that Queen Zhou is talking about this, but she can't really settle down for a while. Here in Nanjing, the people in the palace are not familiar with it. ”

"In the story of this dynasty, the concubines are all found in the innocent homes of small families...... However, in the current situation, it is difficult to say whether to marry the daughter of a suitable powerful family in order to stabilize people's hearts! ”

In the end, Li Gong also shook his head, and no matter how much Wang Yuan pulled, he refused to answer.

Fortunately, Zhu Cihong couldn't hear it, otherwise, thinking that Li Jin Yanzheng's smile could be thought of by his subordinates, he could only be killed by his head.................. There may be chaos in the city, and the morale of the army is unstable, because this matter is very secretive, so including the emperor and Zhu Cihong, they are not vigilant.

After all, now that the central government has been established, when Vientiane was renewed, the thieves were also beaten out of the Beijing Division, as for the Dongyu...... Although many people in Donglu are already very vigilant, after all, there are still not many people who can truly realize that Donglu is a strong enemy of life and death.

Nanjing has always been a little out of the way, the taste of singing and dancing, now it is even more exciting, up and down are very relieved, this business on the Qinhuai River, but it is a little better than this time in previous years...... Jin Yiwei was seriously dismissed, and when he first heard about it, Gao Sheng was also very sad.

Gao Sheng, Li Guotai, and Huyan Aobo are the last embers of Jinyiwei.

When he was in Yanjing, the crown prince allocated money and grain to recruit manpower, secretly restored his strength, and when the Beijing division was in an emergency, after the crown prince led the crowd to break through, Xiao Li stayed in Yanjing, Huyan Baihu first followed the prince around, and after Shandong went ashore, he was ordered to sneak to various places to do business.

After the abolition of the Jinyi Guard, I originally thought that everyone would disperse, but the crown prince actually summoned him personally, and after Wen Yan appeased, he asked Gao Sheng to report to the Internal Affairs Bureau directly under the Generalissimo's Palace...... At this time, everyone understood that the Military Intelligence Department was external, the Internal Affairs Bureau was internal, and His Royal Highness's abolition of Jinyi Wei was just a cover-up.

At the moment, the morale is revival, but the northerners come to the south, and the foundation is too shallow, and Gao Sheng and the others have no choice but to take one step at a time, and slowly do it first.

Inserting eyes and ears into the Huai'an soldiers was ten days ago.

This group of soldiers and horses is really too reluctant to eat, Gao Sheng, with the natural sensitivity of the spies, is very uneasy about this army of soldiers and horses, but the high-level has no choice, can only buy a few renegades in the ordinary soldiers, and the news reported every day is nothing more than some small things in the military camp that cannot be put on the table.

However, there may have been a change in the army, and someone quietly gave him the wind in the afternoon.

When you get this kind of news, how dare Gao Sheng slack off? At that moment, people were sent everywhere to monitor the military camps, the palaces of the ministers, and even the forbidden army of the imperial city and the soldiers of the Beijing camp, and additional manpower was sent everywhere, and the entire internal affairs department had less than 200 people, including the clerks, all of whom were sent out by Gao Shengquan.

After dark, he finally confirmed the news, and after he rushed to the palace gate, he handed a sign to ask for a meeting, but was told that the prince had gone out.

For a while, Gao Sheng looked around blankly, but he didn't know what to do!

In the distance, he saw several figures, among which there was a tall man, who seemed familiar, thought about it, smiled on his face, walked quickly, and chased after him.
