Chapter 0297 Warmth
In the imperial study of the Forbidden City, Chongzhen told himself in his heart not to laugh, not to laugh, but finally laughed, and this laugh did not stop. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Ning Zhiyuan, very good, Chen Qiyu, very good, Lu Xiangsheng, also very good.
This is the root of his happiness at this time, Huang Taiji has fainted in the capital, Li Zicheng Zhang Xianzhong soldiers are trapped in the carriage of Shaanxi, Gao Yingxiang is also retreating, temporarily silent, at present, Daming is a piece of peace, as long as the wind and rain are smooth in the coming year, the people will soon be able to recuperate, and he will be at ease.
Chongzhen thinks very beautifully, and it's not an unfounded mess, the only thing that worries him now is just a city in Jinzhou, as long as he can win a big victory, then there is nothing, lose... If you lose, then Huang Taiji will also come in handy.
As for the tough anti-thieves in Shaanxi, they were selectively forgotten by Chongzhen, and they are really incompetent, otherwise Chongzhen would have to rise up again, and with a wave of his big hand he ordered to suppress the bandits, what a domineering picture, but no.
The New Year is approaching, and the palace is also full of festivities.
Chongzhen also showed a rare smile to Tian Guifei, who had been snubbed by him for a long time, and then... I still went to Yi'an Palace.
He still wants to tell his imperial sister-in-law about such a happy event, for Ning Zhiyuan, does he think he is really a villain? But then he was relieved, after all, he was the Son of Heaven, and everything he did was for the country and the people, Chongzhen thought to himself, and the smile on his face made his wrinkles deeper.

Hong Chengchou came to Liaodong, and the vicissitudes of life everywhere made him very uncomfortable, and he realized that the war here was really not a grade compared with the northwest.
But after all, Hong Chengchou is very famous general, and he quickly figured out the routine and then prepared to fight, just as he thought, the troops deployed by Houjin on the side of Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan were not many, only 30,000 people.
Even so, he still needs to sum up the total number of good students, and he knows that Houjin is not a thief after all... No, they are also anti-thieves, but they are not anti-thieves in the northwest, they have the general combat power of Guanning iron horses, he remembered the scene of Cao Wenzhao relying on more than 1,000 Guanning iron horses in the territory, and he was really a little yearning and a little worried.
It seems... It's harder.
Hong Chengchou's subordinates at this time in addition to his Hong soldiers, there are also Wu Sangui, Wang Pu and his party, the strength of sixty or seventy thousand, Chongzhen is really interesting, all the troops that can be drawn out are pressed up, pondered for a long time, Hong Chengchou did only one thing, set up camp, and Dolgon's troops across the air.
That's it, every day, in addition to eating and sleeping, we eat and sleep, and occasionally shout to the city to show our presence, so that the brothers in the city don't have to worry, we are outside, hold on.
After all, fighting a war is a belief.
In addition to strengthening the belief of the soldiers in the city, Hong Chengchou's move is still the biggest mystery is to follow the consumption, so many of you travel long distances to eat is a big problem, see if you attack the city or not, if you don't attack the city, see who can consume whom, and attack the city will beat you in the back.
This approach made Huang Taiji very helpless, he knew that it was unreliable to storm the city, and now there are so many people behind him, it is even more unreliable, and he can't think of a way for a while, they are in a stalemate.
Then he received a letter from Chongzhen, which specifically means that I am ready for war, and Huang Taiji is already in the capital, how to do it, you should weigh it carefully, I am not afraid of you, Chongzhen's imperial domineering in the letter is undoubtedly revealed, Sodolgon pouted, the negotiation depends on strength, first grind for a while, and then say, the Ming army artillery is in front, there is some danger, and the attack has to wait.
So just wait, you can't negotiate now anyway, but Huang Taiji is really useless, as soon as the news came, Houjin was in chaos, Dolgon said in his heart, a group of subordinates who are still loyal to Huang Taiji are making trouble, and he is a little unbearable.

.........
The Spring Festival is approaching, this is a festival that has been passed down for thousands of years, everyone in the world is celebrating the New Year, and the officers and soldiers are no exception.
More than 100,000 people in the carriage can be described as miserable, of course, the officers and soldiers guarding them outside are not much better, the difference is that one can't see the future and is guarding the cold, and the other sees the future but has no way to work hard, no way, they are still working overtime during the New Year, but the court is stunned that they don't give them overtime pay, not only that, but even the silver salary is very low, so how can they struggle?
So the whole carriage is full of sadness and despair, Chen Qiyu also knows, but he can't do anything, to be honest, he has no way, he is not greedy for money, he doesn't even have private money, and in the carriage, Zhang Xianzhong, who was in despair, felt that the atmosphere outside didn't seem to be very good, so his mind became active again......
If the carriage Shaanxi is an extreme, then Ningxia is another extreme, here than the Ming Dynasty and even any place in the world is more prosperous, inside and outside the city, stretching for dozens of miles, the people have few sad faces on their faces, shouting and laughing is endless, undoubtedly heaven and earth.
Ning Zhiyuan had only returned to Ningxia for a day at this time, and he hadn't visited Zheng Chongjian yet, of course, he didn't plan to visit the nominal governor, didn't he invisibly lower his style?
Walking on the lively street, the snow on the street has been swept away, and the snowflake children in the sky have not been able to extinguish the enthusiasm of the people, Ning Daguan just feels a deep pride, all of this is created by himself, the poor are good alone, and the big is taking care of the world, and he can be regarded as doing it, right?
Will do more in the future, with a smile on his face, Ning Zhiyuan continued to walk, he didn't call any girl, nor did he have any guards on the surface, some were just hidden in the dark, not that he liked this kind of pretending to hide all his merits and fame, but although the battle had not been hard for most of the past six months, it was not easy, and it was rare to relax and relax.
Ning Zhiyuan was walking along the way, watching people coming and going, but he frowned and became a little worried.
At present, there are many small vendors, all of whom sell sweet potatoes, which makes him feel a little heavy, and some problems will still arise.
Today's Ningxia can be said to be a look every day, prosperous compared to even the capital can not be compared, the tall city wall can not be afraid of any enemy, but the population is too much, it has been saturated, now the average of this era is three or four acres of land can barely make a family of three food and clothing, if you want to have a surplus should be at least ten acres, but Ningxia is far from being able to do it, even if because of the high yield of sweet potatoes so that the people eat and drink without worry, but this is not the right way after all, and because of the spread of sweet potatoes, the price has been greatly reduced, and there is no market in Ningxia. But that's for ordinary people, after all, food is a very important material, for large families to hoard food is an indispensable thing, and there are businessmen who specially transport sweet potatoes out to sell, but there are still stalls to sell, want to come to these stalls just feel that the price is too low.
But this matter still has to be solved, without sweet potatoes, Ningxia is even more stupid and unable to feed so many people, and the food is too single sooner or later there will be problems.
Ning Zhiyuan remembered that he had read a set of data, the land during the Chongzhen period was about more than 300 million mu, so the demise of such a country is really poor management and the number of gas has been exhausted, and Ningxia only has more than 2 million mu of land, of course, because of continuous reclamation, this data is still increasing, but it is far from enough.
At present, the most obvious method is to immigrate, for example, the people who come to Ningxia in an endless stream are placed in the Mongolian grassland, Ningxia's attack on Mongolia is very successful, and it has occupied a small half of the grassland without any decent resistance, and Houjin is even more self-conscious, which provides a lot of space for Ningxia to settle the people.
But fortunately, Ningxia has only set this tone for two years, and most of them have not forgotten their previous experience of poverty, so they are content, and people must be content to be happy.
Ning Zhiyuan also saw a lot of Mongolians, speaking Mandarin, he felt that his soft annexation policy was very successful, and the hatred of the Ming people for the Mongols was far less than that of the Later Jin, but I don't see that the biggest official in the Northeast who will resist the Jin Dynasty is still the Mongols?
Moreover, the number of Mongolian soldiers in Ningxia has now reached 40,000, distributed in various branches of the military in Ningxia, with the intensification of their own conquest of the steppe, this combination will be closer, those Mongolians do not want to leave a stable life, Mongolian women are even more so, they have no status after marrying Han men can still get the reward of the government, and also formulated a special law to protect them, they are not reluctant.
.........
For everything in Ningxia, Ning Zhiyuan sees it in his eyes, and has very special feelings, so the supervision is particularly strict, after all, Ningxia has only been developed for two years, so the corruption bred by power has not yet happened, and it is still a pure land.
At noon, Ning Zhiyuan returned to the mansion, this familiar feeling made him feel excited for a while, at this moment, Ning Daguan called this place home.
The two loli were running and rolling around and piling up snowmen, Gu Hengbo and Li Xiangjun were also mixed in, and there were Liu Rushi and Shang Jinglan watching next to them, Zhou Zhi and Kou Baimen were practicing swords, Li Yuran in the pavilion looked down at the book, and Li Jin was ticking and fiddling with the abacus......
It's a wonderful feeling.
"Yes, don't be tired." Ning Daguan entered the pavilion, patted the snow piled up on his body, and looked indecent after sighing.
Li Jinshi smiled at Ning Zhiyuan, then lowered his head again, and said while flexibly fiddling with the abacus, "Husband, if you let me get pregnant..., then you can only rest today?" ”
When Ning Zhiyuan sat beside her, Li Jinyi's hand finally left the abacus, "Husband, do you know how much silver we have earned this year?" ”
Ning Daguan shook his head, he didn't know, and he didn't care very much.
Li Jin was proud, and raised his head, "It's nearly thirty times the tax revenue of the imperial court." ”
Since Ning Zhiyuan and Li Jinshi said that the annual tax of the imperial court is two million taels, Li Jinshi always likes to use this as a unit, which is also a bad taste, Queen Li's bad taste.
"This is only earned from business, husband, the money earned by your world dart game and the money earned by the people sent to Phi Island here are not counted, otherwise it will be a lot more." Li Jinshi continued.
"Today is really amazing..."Ning Zhiyuan was a little surprised, and then gnawed on Li Jin's face, this year is a special case, after all, Datong has been taken out, but even if there is no this, there should be more than 20 million taels a year, it is really funny, if in the future life, just with the little silver he earned, the country can collect more than 10 million taels of tax silver, how can it be so embarrassing, Ningxia's cost he himself has also seen, then the scientific research institute he founded cost tens of millions of taels of silver, and the cost of manufacturing cannons is also expensive, but fortunately, he can make money, Otherwise, life will not go on.
"That's," Li Jin stretched his waist and towered his chest. The ministry was highlighted, instantly attracting Ning Zhiyuan's attention, Li Jinshi didn't care, but straightened his chest even more proudly, the group was in the pavilion in the courtyard, it was snowing outside, and the depressed branches were still shaking by the wind, looking at it could make people feel poetic and cold, but the fact was that the pavilion was now as warm as spring.
Da Yu'er, who was playing checkers with Hai Lanzhu, took advantage of her free time to sigh outside, and a blur suddenly appeared in front of her, and Da Yu'er happily drew circles on it, some things have always been common, for example, writing on the misty glass.
"How did you make this kind of thing, husband?" Li Jinshi also smiled when she saw this scene, this is the general material of the glass cup made by Ning Zhiyuan earlier, and it was also because of this magical thing that Li She noticed Ning Zhiyuan.
"Made with heart." This sentence is probably very profound, but Ning Daguan can't tell the truth directly.
"Even the one in the capital can't live this kind of life." Li Jin didn't care about this sentence, but then sighed, he was a little worried about what his husband would do in the next year and even in the future, but there was nothing superfluous.
Li Jin lay down and leaned on Ning Zhiyuan's arms, "By the way, Zhi'er's progress now is not small?" ”
"What do you mean today?" Ning Zhiyuan smiled.
"Martial arts......" Li Jin glared angrily, a little funny, indeed that confused little sister is everywhere There is room for progress. And you didn't see his female soldiers last year, and now they are also very powerful, but they are not as good as mine... Hee-hee. ”
"It's good, in a few days, these female soldiers with good skills will be well organized, and I can protect your safety in the future." Ning Daguan's smile was restricted, and he became a little serious, if there was a personal female guard when he was in Datong, Hai Lanzhu's matter would not have happened.
Li Jinyi knew what he remembered, and he didn't follow Ning Zhiyuan to grieve, and snorted, "It's the right thing to let Sister Hai Lanzhu get pregnant with another one sooner." ”
Ning Daguan is embarrassed, and his women are amazing......
There are only a lot of girls in the courtyard, and Ning Zhiyuan feels that he is really a little ridiculous, like a male soldier in his daughter's country.
