Listening to Xu Guangqi's words, Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly, and said lightly: "I will ask the Ministry of Industry to prepare materials for you, you can rest assured of this, if it is not enough, buy it from somewhere else." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

A few people were stunned, can you still buy this thing? glanced at each other, but they didn't understand what Emperor Chongzhen meant.

"There is never a shortage of bold people in this world, Aiqing may not know that many people in the southeast who open mines without permission do not have as much salt and iron as them every year. They sold a lot of salt and iron to the grasslands, and these people were very bold, so they just bought some. At this time, Emperor Chongzhen's tone was very casual, and many people knew about these things, maybe everyone in the world was hiding from the emperor alone!

Sure enough, hearing Emperor Chongzhen say this, Xu Guangqi and Wang Chengen's faces changed, and they looked at each other with horror in their eyes. At this time, they realized that Emperor Chongzhen in front of them really knew everything, and they were a little more afraid of Emperor Chongzhen.

"Father-in-law Fang, I'll leave this matter to you! I think about the ability of the East Factory, there is nothing wrong with such a thing, and it must be unaware. ”

Emperor Chongzhen set his eyes on Fang Zhenghua behind him, and this kind of private work was obviously the most suitable for him.

Emperor Chongzhen's words also showed a very clear signal that Dongchang was going to be replaced, and it was this father-in-law who looked young to be replaced. Wei Zhongxian will not come back, which is also a deep signal.

This is the first time that Emperor Chongzhen has expressed his position in public, but no one present will say it.

"The minion has written it down, since His Majesty said that there is no problem, then naturally there is no problem." Fang Zhenghua really has such a way, there are many town guards and eunuchs in the southeast, and Fang Zhenghua has received the silver of these people's filial piety in the past few days.

For the new celebrity around Emperor Chongzhen, these eunuchs outside are naturally stammered, and it is not easy to get these things.

"In the future, you have to obey the orders of this Lord Xu, and you will get him whatever he wants, even if it is a human being. And the things that you buy, I will give money, but these money are all the money of my inner treasury, is this price? Emperor Chongzhen looked at Fang Zhenghua even more meaningfully at this time.

As Emperor Chongzhen during this period of time, he is naturally clear, maybe he didn't want to hide it from Emperor Chongzhen at all, this may be the unspoken rule of Daming for a long time!

"Your Majesty rest assured, how dare the minions let Your Majesty break the bank? Naturally, someone will come out of this money. "In Fang Zhenghua's view, isn't it easy to make something out of those local tyrants and rich gentry?

"No, you just have to keep the price low. Also, it's better to get them to stop doing business with people outside the Cypriots, and you have people buy all those things. "Now Emperor Chongzhen can only block this line by such a method.

Otherwise, these people smuggled such pig iron, copper, salt, and grain into Houjin's hands, and things would become more and more troublesome. Such a thing happened in history, and the strength of the Manchu Qing was not unrelated to this.

The breeze is gentle, the moon is bright, the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty is already flickering with lights at this time, the figures are flickering, and the huge palace is extremely lively. Emperor Chongzhen, who was tired after a day's work, couldn't rest after returning to the palace, because a family banquet was going to be held in the palace.

Although Emperor Chongzhen, who was called to Cining Palace, was reluctant in his heart, there was nothing he could do now.

For this titular mother, Emperor Chongzhen, you must have enough respect, in fact, in retrospect, what you have done is already very excessive, this Taichang Emperor's Concubine Zhao, the Empress Dowager at this time is okay to Emperor Chongzhen. But since he was canonized as the queen mother, not to mention saying that he greets him every day, Emperor Chongzhen rarely comes.

The title of the queen mother was given by Emperor Chongzhen, and Emperor Chongzhen, as the younger brother of Emperor Chongzhen, naturally wanted to respect the queen mother.

Emperor Chongzhen should have prepared well for this family banquet, but after discussing firearms with Xu Guangqi for a day in Huangzhuang, he felt very tired. But he had to come to Cining Palace with a strong spirit, looking at Concubine Zhao who was sitting there, Emperor Chongzhen respectfully saluted and said: "The son has seen the queen mother, and the son has neglected the queen mother during this period of time, and he hopes that the queen mother will forgive his sins." ”

Emperor Chongzhen also saw a young woman sitting next to the Queen Mother, none other than Zhang Baozhu, the empress of Emperor Chongzhen.

He saluted Empress Yi'an, and Emperor Chongzhen also said respectfully: "Sister-in-law! ”

"What is the emperor talking about, the queen mother is happy that you are an emperor who is diligent and loves the people, how can I blame you!" Concubine Zhao still has a good impression of Emperor Chongzhen, if it weren't for this child's anger, I'm afraid I wouldn't know where to go, how could I have the current position of the queen mother!

Besides, he only has one daughter, and if he has such a son, he is naturally regarded as his own son.

"Quick, the emperor will come to the side of the queen mother." Emperor Chongzhen could naturally hear Concubine Zhao's concern for him, and at this time, he also felt that his lonely heart seemed to be comforted, and his tired body seemed to be a little lighter.

didn't speak, Emperor Chongzhen obediently went to Concubine Zhao's side, listening to her constantly chattering about the past, and felt a little warm in his heart. At this time, Emperor Chongzhen seemed to have gradually abandoned everything in the past in his heart, and he was really Emperor Chongzhen.

When she accompanied Concubine Zhao to speak, the wine and food had already been put on the table, and after drinking a little wine, Emperor Chongzhen didn't remember anything.

Looking at Emperor Chongzhen who was asleep, Concubine Zhao's heart was very distressed, she touched Emperor Chongzhen's hair, and said slowly: "It seems that this emperor has worked very hard, why is he tired like this." As he spoke, he saw Wang Chengen, who came with Emperor Chongzhen, and asked, "What are you doing with the emperor today?" How did you get tired like this? ”

Hearing the Queen Mother's question, Wang Chengen was slightly stunned and didn't dare to tell the truth, Emperor Chongzhen attached so much importance to that matter, if he leaked the news from himself, I am afraid that he would definitely lose his head.

couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Don't dare to deceive the Queen Mother, Your Majesty once said that no matter what it is, slaves are not allowed to say it, so slaves." ”

Wang Chengen's words were not finished, but Concubine Zhao understood, nodded lightly and said: "The mourning family knows, if the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, and if he is not secret, he will lose his body." The emperor did right, and you did right. Let's go down! The emperor lives here today. ”

"Yes, the minions are retired." Hearing that the Queen Mother did not pursue it, Wang Chengen's heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and he slowly withdrew after giving a salute.

Looking at Emperor Chongzhen, who was snoring slightly, Concubine Zhao gently touched his face, and said slowly: "Empress, you serve the emperor tonight, you are by her side on weekdays, you need a lot of advice, things in the world cannot be done, and the body is the most important." ”

Empress Zhou nodded and saluted: "Yes, the concubine remember!" After speaking, with the support of the palace maid and eunuch, he accompanied Emperor Chongzhen to rest.

Early the next morning, Emperor Chongzhen got up very late, looked at the sun outside, and knew that today's morning court would not be successful. Fortunately, the current ministers are accustomed to the fact that the king does not reign early, and Emperor Wanli is the lord who has not been in court for more than 30 years, and Emperor Chongzhen is naturally nothing.

In fact, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was still very relaxed, and the twists and turns in various places were first sent to the cabinet, and the cabinet scholars wrote down the handling opinions, and then handed them to the emperor, and the emperor decided the final treatment. If the emperor thinks that the cabinet's methods are not good, but does not approve the red, he will send the performance back to the cabinet, and the cabinet scholars will draw up the measures again.

Sometimes the emperor is too lazy to approve the red, so he will hand over the red to the eunuchs around him, which is also the duty of the eunuch Bingbi, who has no reputation for a while, Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian are the eunuchs who have been trusted by the emperor, because the emperor is lazy, it also gives these people some opportunities to usurp power.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the fold in his hand, and his heart was tired, this was about the big explosion of Wang Gongchang.

Several days have passed since the incident, and the report on the explosion of Wang Gongchang was sent, and Emperor Chongzhen once again saw the efficiency of the Ming officials. This time the incident happened in the capital, and if it happened somewhere else, it is estimated that it will be even slower.

Throwing the fold back on the table, Emperor Chongzhen rubbed his swollen forehead, every time he saw the fold, Emperor Chongzhen would be depressed for a while.

The fold introduced in detail the course of the incident, the losses caused, etc., and even vaguely pointed out that Emperor Chongzhen tolerated the adulterer, warned the heavens, and pointed directly at Wei Zhongxian. Emperor Chongzhen had to admire the Donglin Party, and in the case of the cabinet being controlled by the eunuch party, this kind of twist and turn could also be sent.

Maybe the eunuchs also want to test their attitude! Emperor Chongzhen picked up the fold again, flipped through the solution behind it, and sighed slightly.

In fact, the occurrence of such a disaster is very simple, that is, disaster relief and post-disaster reconstruction, but both of these things need to cost a lot of money.

The method is given in the song, grain is sent from the treasury of Suncheon, and the treasury and the inner treasury also need that part, which is not enough, and the grain must be drawn from the surrounding treasury.

Emperor Chongzhen knew in his heart that he said that he had drawn food, and it was estimated that it was another rampant expropriation, some of which were handed over, and some of which went into private pockets. Can you go back to the afterlife to get some food? Emperor Chongzhen thought about it for a moment and then denied his idea.

After a few days of exploration, Emperor Chongzhen also found that if he shuttled between the shop and the palace, he would not consume energy.

If you want to bring things back and forth, you have to spend energy, and this energy can only be recovered slowly over time. I saved it for several days this time, and I was going to go over to get a gun.

The current energy is simply not enough to get food, and if you barely get it, you can't get much back, you must know that disaster relief needs a lot of food.

Handing the fold to Wang Chengen, Emperor Chongzhen said, "Just do what the cabinet says!" ”
