As soon as Chongzhen's words came out, it showed his attitude, and his attitude did not need to show that Ning Zhiyuan had always been his confidant, and Chongzhen was quite touched by this situation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"So Your Majesty, this is the case for me! The tax revenue can't come up because it's divided between these wastes and local moths! Seriously eat empty salaries, and the strength of the army is not even one-tenth of what is recorded! Even the money for disaster relief in the imperial court is directly cut in the waist, to the hands of the people, almost one out of ten, the minister implores the emperor to punish the thieves, not Ling Chi's punishment, a thousand knives are not enough to calm the anger! ”

"Your Majesty, please decide! Restore the glory of Gaozu! Ning Zhiyuan knelt down on one knee.

Boy! This is to put people to death! Zhu Yuanzhang has come out, and the ministers refuted Ning Zhiyuan's words while defending themselves, feeling that they are so pale, if Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards corrupt officials is used, their nine clans will be gone, and the key is Chongzhen's attitude.

This last sentence obviously touched Chongzhen greatly, that was his ancestor, a Hu Weiyong case connected 30,000 people, and his heart longed for it, but he couldn't get there, his eyes flashed a few times, and his arm was raised so many times that he wanted to give an order, but he finally put it down again.

As Ning Zhiyuan said, if you want to kill, kill them all, when he ascended the throne, the entire court was half killed by him, but it is still the same as it is now, but in this way, the court is completely chaotic, and without a replacement, he can't make up his mind.

"Your Majesty, if you punish the thieves, raid the family and exterminate the clan, the minister will guarantee the treasury with his life and will have to pay more than 10 million taels of silver, otherwise the minister can die in this hall, His Royal Highness has made a decision early It is really the luck of the Ming Dynasty." Ning Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and continued, he remembered that after Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he had seized 60 million taels of silver alone, and there were countless other treasures and gold jewelry, and it was still the capital after the plague, many people left, and the merchants almost moved away, so it could only be from the homes of these officials.

The noisy hall suddenly became quiet again, Chongzhen could notice that many people were already bloodless, it seemed that what Ning Zhiyuan said was really true. Thinking of tens of millions of taels of silver, Chongzhen fell into silence again.

At the beginning, Shen Qian gave him 200,000 taels of silver in Ningxia, he was so happy that he didn't want it, you must know that Yang Heping only gave 100,000 taels to him, almost never rewarded court officials, and rewarded dozens of taels for business knowledge, among the emperors, he was definitely the poorest one.

"The minister seconded the proposal..."Li Cong said at this time.

"The minister seconded the proposal...", and then seven or eight officials spoke, these seemed to be the results of Chongzhen's efforts in the court in the past few months, Ning Zhiyuan shook his head, what can be done with just a few small shrimps that can't be on the table?

"Your Majesty, kill the thieves, and the annual tax revenue will inevitably increase exponentially in the future, you know, in the past, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty was less than half of my Ming Dynasty, but the annual tax revenue was as high as... 80 million taels of silver, if there is silver, why worry about the great cause, the Ming Dynasty will not prosper. Ning Zhiyuan dropped this last bombshell.

In the collapse of the ministers, Ning Zhiyuan's words were heartfelt.

Before saying these words, Ning Daguan had been brewing for a while, but he didn't think that it would have any effect, and at this time, he also had a sense of accomplishment when he looked at Chongzhen's obvious abnormal appearance, although the result or many and a half were still gone, but it can be seen that the temptation of money is indeed not ordinary for Chongzhen, and it is even greater than Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestor.

Because Chongzhen is really poor! He is thrifty and thrifty, even his underwear is patched, he really wants to make this country good, because this is how he is good, otherwise the faint king will not be stable.

Ning Daguan has never been afraid of offending people, the reason why he didn't say such things before was just because the timing was wrong, but today's atmosphere is very suitable, whether he succeeds or not, it will not affect him much, and he can still take the opportunity to leave the capital.

To be honest, he was in this court, just to help Chongzhen improve morale, scolding people, those bureaucrats are probably a little afraid of themselves, scolding back, and never taking the initiative to target themselves, so that the eighteen-year-old he has a feeling that life is really lonely, since this incident, if they die, it is best, if they do not die, they will not be allowed to be in the capital, and they also took the initiative to resign and leave the capital... That's a good arrangement.

"They... Is there really so much silver in the house? Chongzhen asked after being silent for a long time, looking at Ning Zhiyuan with blazing eyes.

"It's true, for example, Zhou Shoufu, your grandson has never seen His Majesty in the Swallow Tower, but the minister has seen it, is there already so much money in the imperial court? Even more hateful - they dare to rob the wife of the courtier. Ning Daguan was stunned for a moment and then said, and finally his tone was filled with righteous indignation, "The bitch raised by the bitch." ”

Zhou Yanru and the others didn't know where Ning Zhiyuan's scolding words came from, it did make people itch their teeth when they sounded, but at this time, they didn't care about a lot of verbal words, "Your Majesty is really wronged, the old minister's family does have a lot of family resources, and this is also related to the fact that there are many people in the family who are businessmen, the old minister has gone through three dynasties, and he is conscientious, and he is definitely not ......."

Ning Zhiyuan was smiling at this time, and then he felt that it was inappropriate to restrain his smile, there was helplessness in the laughter, there was mockery, and this disappointment and pity, Chongzhen would still be that Chongzhen.

“――――”

"The old minister is willing to donate 200,000 taels for my Ming Dynasty to suspend the difficulties of the imperial court and contribute to my Ming Dynasty." Zhou Yanru said righteously, with a mocking smile on his old face, because he knew that they would be fine, and this kind of big move was released by Chongzhen and didn't kill them, then they would be fine in the future, unless the emperor was suddenly possessed by Taizu, then they should also die.

"The old minister is also willing to donate 150,000 ......taels for my Daming," Wen Tiren echoed this time, and said in his heart, Lord Ning, what do you mean by even me being a pit this time? Don't blame me for demolishing your platform, I'm protecting myself......

The words of the two detonated the court, and then everyone echoed it, the minimum was one thousand taels, it seemed to be divided according to rank and position, Ning Zhiyuan had to sigh, these officials are really rich, and Chongzhen...

Chongzhen quickly calculated the land confiscation like last time, and felt that there were more than one million, which exceeded the tax of Daming for half a year, and his first reaction was naturally overjoyed, which was also what he expected, but he didn't expect this group of officials to be so upright, and then there was anger, he could get so much money casually, it seems that Ning Zhiyuan said it was really good, but soon this anger was suppressed by the more than one million taels of silver that was about to arrive, and the monarchs and ministers seemed to be happy, and it seemed that only one person was unhappy.

"Ning Aiqing, I know that you are for me, for Daming, and... These... Eh, waste, Daming also needs them now, so let's discuss this matter later. ”

Ning Zhiyuan sighed softly, he didn't have any special thoughts in his heart, he felt that he had done everything he should do, although he could do more, but he wouldn't do it, Chongzhen was not smart, everything could have something to do with money, including the last time he fought with everyone for land and rewarded the governor of Huguang... Twenty taels of silver, from beginning to end there is a small family atmosphere, he seems to have forgotten that he is the emperor, just ask for money, grab it! Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't have no money in his northern expedition to the Xiongnu, and forcibly borrowed grain and money, but in the end, he didn't know it, didn't he become the emperor of the ages?

"That being the case, the Weichen implored the emperor to make a plan as soon as possible, and the other Weichen was transferred out of the court, and he was willing to be a military attache or a parent, and the minister... Shame on the company of thieves. Ning Zhiyuan said loudly.

............

Ning Zhiyuan is still a squire in the military department, and Chongzhen naturally did not respond to Ning's officials... Unreasonable demands, just kidding, I finally got you from Ningxia, and now the struggle in the court is also hot, Chongzhen is living comfortably, how can he let you leave so easily, and although the officials below are very willing to Ning Zhiyuan to leave, they have just been complained about, and they have lost a lot of silver, so it is inconvenient to speak, but it doesn't matter, the hardest days have passed, and the days to come are still long.

Ning Daguan left the Taihe Hall in frustration, and then hummed a little song all the way back to the house in his heart, Li Xiangjun, who was a first-time wife, had a little more mature style, and Ning Zhiyuan felt that he had harmed another flower, so he was even more proud.

The three girls who have slept together feel much more harmonious than yesterday, and sure enough, doing that kind of thing together can enhance the relationship more effectively, Li Xiangjun couldn't help blushing when she saw Ning Zhiyuan coming back with a smile, and Ning Daguan's straight eyes made her unbearable.

"Ning Lang, let me tell you." Liu Ru said with a smile on her face, "Don't take Xiangjun to the room secretly in the future, today we haven't woken up until we heard Xiangjun's little maid crying and crying looking for Xiangjun, saying that there are only clothes in the room, and her young lady was captured by flower thieves." ”

"That's right." Shang Jinglan grinned and said, because the sadness brought by the old residence to the two sisters had long since recovered, and although the daily life was a bit monotonous, it was really happy. "But that Luo Ning is very cute, didn't Ning Lang still say that he would accept others as little maids in the room?"

"Ben... When did the husband say that kind of thing," Ning Zhiyuan said, the official mansion embroidered with birds was also replaced, and he had doubts in his heart, "But Xiao Ning'er is really good." ”

"If I tell you, today your husband is in the court and persuaded the emperor to cut down all the officials, and he almost said that he was moved, what a pity..."

Seeing that Liu Ru and Li Xiangjun looked interested, Ning Zhiyuan continued, he often said something like this, but there was no time like today, Shang Jinglan and Li Xiangjun were originally official ladies, but listening to Ning Zhiyuan's words was a little funny.

"If that's the case, Ning Lang, you really want to go down in history." Shang Jinglan added a piece of mutton to Ning Zhiyuan, medically speaking, these red meats are conducive to tonifying the kidneys, although Ning Zhiyuan is very powerful now, but it is always right to make up more.

Li Xiangjun listened very carefully, and did not make a statement, just like she was in the Qinglou at the time, she also quietly listened to the rumors about Ning Zhiyuan that had been circulated many times, I don't know how much it was exaggerated, but now it is the most real and true first one, or what Ning Zhiyuan said personally, she is very happy and very happy.

This is the real autumn, so the whole Ming Dynasty is a little busy, and the letters from Ningxia are also one after another, passing on the message.

Because of the promotion of sweet potato seeds in spring, so late autumn this year, caused a great response, Ningxia is naturally a bumper harvest, the people left half of the harvest, but the harvest of grain is still piled up with a new row of large granaries, as for this left half, I believe that no one is dissatisfied, because from the cultivation of the land to the seed fertilization, they only provide labor, even the maids can not compare, of course, fertilizer is natural manure, in short, Ningxia is all happy.

And the impact is that a large number of businessmen have emerged, foreign businessmen, buying grain, and many because of the wealth of Ningxia to start a business, where there is money to be made, there will be them, Li Jin is already grinding his fists and ready to do a big job, in the eyes of a commercial queen, the inextricable scenes are only converged into one sentence, and Mrs. Ben ordered Mrs. to rob money for her husband!

The sweet potato seeds that the Li family bought in Jiangsu and Zhejiang last summer were all over the country, although there were not many, but the waves caused were far greater than those in Ningxia, because Ningxia City was still very mysterious to some extent, and those who were mobile and merchants were different.

Thirty stones per mu, forty stones per mu! Thoughts are flying......

Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Tian's family are relatively about to suffer another blow, at the beginning, with the east wind of the Li family, they also got sweet potato seeds overseas and sold them, but they still felt distressed after making a small profit, and now they found out in the autumn harvest that most of them did not grow! Only a few sweet potatoes have produced fruit, and the more serious problem is no longer related to this, but to what they sell, so for a while, the Tian family was full of controversy.

Chongzhen also planted this thing with Ning Zhiyuan sending his ten thousand stone seeds and the land obtained from the minister, along with his imperial village, and his mouth was not closed for several days during the harvest, so many million stone grain, is it really God helping me Daming?

He even laughed out in the court several times in a row, after he thought about this, he felt that the form had begun to improve, and the Ming Dynasty was about to prosper, and his eyes became softer and softer when he looked at Ning Zhiyuan, and even gave him another official several times, but the reward was resolutely not.

In the eyes of Ning Daguan, Chongzhen is just a small qualification.

Even the ministers of the court and the central government have also moved their minds in this situation, land is their root, so corruption and bribery plus business and farming, the income from grain is only a very small part, and a fraction of it is not counted, but now in this situation, farming seems to be very interesting?

Throughout the autumn, with or without it, the Ming seemed to be in a state of joy, and with such a crop, the people felt that they would not go hungry next year.

The sweet potato with a yield of thirty or forty stones per mu has spread throughout the Ming Dynasty!
