In the cold winter, the north wind is blowing.

In the winter of this year, the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace had a better life, and the emperor gave them improved treatment and material supplies, so they did not have to worry about being frozen and hungry. The daily work has also been adjusted, each department performs its own duties, and the palace is running in an orderly manner.

Zhu Youxiao successfully became the emperor supported by the eunuchs and palace ladies, and the senior eunuchs in various departments basically had no corruption at this time.

The main reason is that Zhu Youxiao has put a lot of thought into management, and the more important thing to prevent corruption is to rely on the system and the maintenance of management. Instead of pinning its hopes on personal morality and self-restraint, that would be a complete palliative rather than a cure.

In the early days of this day, Yu Shi Feng Sanyuan impeached Liaodong Jingluo Xiong Yanbi for various crimes, and more than 800 soldiers were killed in Puhe's defeat, so it became the reason for the Donglin Party to attack.

Xiong Yanbi is a main defender official, but he is not cowardly, and he still has some skills. Although Liaodong cannot be said to be as crystal as an iron bucket, it is unlikely that Hachi wants to achieve greater results. As long as Xiong Yanbi is there, Shenyang is basically impregnable.

It's just that Xiong Yanbi is the sworn enemy of the Donglin Party. At the beginning, he served as the imperial historian in the DPRK and specialized in attacking the Donglin Party. Therefore, he won the favor of Emperor Wanli, and at the same time, because of the knowledge of military affairs, he became the strategy of Liaodong.

Yushi Feng Sanyuan impeached Xiong Yanbi, and Xiong Yanbi also left the burden and quit, and directly wrote to resign. Although Xiong Yanbi has some talents, he is short-tempered and high-spirited, and it is difficult to become a big weapon after all.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao also wanted to refuse the Donglin Party's request on the grounds that it was inappropriate to change the commander in the battle, and tried to arrange Xiong Yanbi to continue to be in the position of Liaodong Economic Strategy, but he didn't expect Xiong Yanbi to make a concert by himself, so that Zhu Youxiao's plan was aborted.

Zhu Youxiao had no choice but to approve Xiong Yanbi's resignation, and once again let the Donglin Party succeed.

And then it was like that, the Donglin Party took the opportunity to nominate Yuan Yingtai and asked Zhu Youxiao to appoint him as the Liaodong Economic Strategy. Zhu Youxiao agreed expressionlessly, and could only sigh in his heart, it seems that Shenyang is not guaranteed.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, as long as the Donglin Party passed through Liaodong, there would be problems immediately. Could it be that the Donglin Party is all stupid pigs? Of course not, it's not that they're stupid, it's that they're greedy.

Liaodong's annual military salary in Beijing alone is as high as more than 3 million taels, and sometimes it even exceeds 5 million taels.

The Donglin Party wanted to fight for this position in order to be greedy for money. The salaries of the front-line soldiers were greedy, and in order to survive, they sometimes even sold their weapons and equipment. The upward and downward effects will be effected, and the army will be ** immediately. In this way, how can the army fight?

Moreover, the bigwigs of the Donglin Party are almost greedy, so they will organize a wave of 'forcibly sending warmth' activities, so that a group of rabble will go out of the city to fight, and then be killed by wild boar skins and lose a lot. In this way, Hachi will not be exterminated, and the imperial court will have to throw more silver into Liaodong.

The military generals are self-respecting, and the Donglin Party is self-fattening. At the beginning, when Hachi's strength was weak, the Donglin Party first built a wall to isolate Hachi, so that Hachi could digest the territory with peace of mind. When Hachi grew almost bigger, the Donglin Party cooperated very well to tear down the wall, so that Hachi could continue to grow.

**Hachi, a gang of bandits, has grabbed something, and these Donglin parties also have interests. Because the wild boar skin wants to buy war materials from the Ming Dynasty, then it has to trade with the Jin merchants. The Jin merchants earned the silver, and the Donglin Party bosses naturally had the silver.

The Liaodong issue is a complex triangular interest triangle.

**Hachi, Donglin Party, and Jin Merchants cooperated with each other and covered each other, and finally evolved into the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Donglin Party chilled the hearts of many soldiers, and it is impossible to count. For example, Kong Youde rebelled in Denglai during the Chongzhen period, which was nothing more than because Mao Wenlong was unwilling to cooperate with the Donglin Party to grab benefits, and Yuan Chonghuan, who defected to the Donglin Party, beheaded Mao Wenlong under the instructions of the Donglin Party, which chilled the sincerity of Kong Youde and others, and finally embarked on the road of rebellion.

Wu Sangui, who was scolded in history, was actually just a pawn of the Donglin Party. In history, Wu Sangui's uncle Zu Dashou was captured by the Manchus, and the reason why he was able to escape back was only the result of the secret transaction between the Donglin Party and the wild boar skin.

Because after Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he tortured hundreds of officials, and found 8 million taels of silver from the mansions of these officials in the capital alone, and the hundred officials at this time were naturally the Donglin Party. Li Zicheng and the Donglin Party completely tore their faces, and the Donglin Party naturally instructed Wu Sangui to defect and let the Manchus enter the customs to destroy Li Zicheng first.

It's just that I didn't expect that in the end, the Donglin Party could no longer satisfy the growing appetite of the Manchus. The reason why the Manchus were able to win the world was not that the Manchus could fight well, but that the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were the main force of the Manchus to seize the world. Because the Manchu Qing was barbaric enough, the Han Eight Banners fought like cannon fodder. In addition, the Manchus could rely on looting to maintain logistics and raise more armies, so the Manchus seized the world.

**Hachi, a gang of bandits, is not so terrifying in combat. As long as there is no internal response, the Ming army has enough military salaries and material supplies, and it is easy to change the commander who is reliable and destroy this bandit gang.

Zhu was linked to the interests of the school, which basically cleared the fog of history and saw the essential problem. The Donglin Party has put a noose on the Ming Dynasty, and this noose has become tighter and tighter, and will eventually hang the Ming Dynasty. Suffering together, there are also hundreds of millions of people of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao was powerless to resist, so he could only continue to endure.

The state finance still has to be managed, because the warehouse is empty, Zhu Youxiao went to court this day and once again urged Jiangnan to pay more than 200 taxes in arrears.

Under Zhu Youxiao's repeated urging, the two million taels of tax arrears in the Jiangnan area were finally collected slowly, temporarily making up for the deficit in the Tai Warehouse.

It's just that next year's finances are another headache.

Zhu Youxiao, who realized the crisis, accelerated his pace. After retreating, Zhu Youxiao was so busy that he couldn't touch the ground.

The 'Daming Royal Bank' is being built, has recruited the first batch of employees, three of which are from the Shanxi ticket number to dig the shopkeeper, with sufficient experience, ordinary employees recruited more than a dozen, are young talents, enough cultural level, Zhu Youxiao intends to take these talents as the backbone to cultivate.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao was doing things in personnel training, how the bank operates, and the scope of business, all of which need to be trained.

As long as the first batch of staff is trained, there will be no need for Zhu Youxiao to bother in the future.

Another thing is to rectify the military war bureau, which is the department that produces military equipment in the palace, Zhu Youxiao went to take a look, and found that it was just a workshop.

Moreover, the armor manufactured by the War Bureau is more used by the honor guard, and the quality is not up to standard.

"The main reason why the weapons made by the official craftsmen are not qualified is that the craftsmen's salary is so low that the craftsmen can only cut corners, otherwise they can't even make weapons." Sun Chengzong pointed out the problem for Zhu Youxiao.

The craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty belonged to the lowly nationality, and because the salary was not high enough, they were gradually dug into the corners by merchants, and many craftsmen were lost.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't get involved in the production of military equipment in the Ministry of Industry for a while, but the War Bureau in the 24 departments of the palace had absolute power.

Immediately, Zhu Youxiao issued a holy decree to summon craftsmen from various provinces who produced weapons to Beijing. Zhu Youxiao wants to train the army, and the craftsmen of the War Bureau are far from enough.

Zhu Youxiao decided to set up a 'Royal Military Factory' outside the palace based on the craftsmen of the War Bureau.
