Isn't that "roundabout" imperial history? Empress Zhou finally had an impression. Just half a year ago, the emperor once came back from the next dynasty and lamented to her that the newly promoted Du Yushi was so bold that he dared to touch the unspoken rules of officialdom and openly participate in the impeachment of corruption in the ministry! The officials of the Ministry of Officials accepted bribes privately in the Jingchaquan Election, and the clear price was actually a well-known thing, and it was not a new topic, and Emperor Chongzhen had heard of it in the palace before. This is a bad habit of officialdom that has evolved for many years, and he didn't think deeply about anything wrong at the time, and even cited anecdotes, even if he occasionally mentioned it with Queen Zhou, it was also a joke.

However, at that time, Zhu Youzhen was not the emperor, just an idle prince who pretended to be crazy and stupid under Wei Zhongxian's obscenity, and he was also young (Chongzhen was only 17 years old when he ascended the throne), and he didn't think about the shortcomings in it.

But at this time and at that time, he is now the emperor and has become the co-owner of hundreds of millions of miles of rivers and mountains. The so-called ass determines the head, he sat on the dragon chair, and the starting point of thinking about the problem was naturally different. He now found that this kind of betrayal was digging into his own corner, and it suddenly became extremely intolerable. Perhaps it was because he realized his own thoughts, Yang He openly criticized the corruption of today's officials in the court that day, and listened to his heart-wrenching impeachment, Chongzhen only then knew that the phenomenon of selling officials and lords had exceeded his imagination and had become a mature system and business.

"Huh. The governor is 6,000 taels, the provincial government is 3,000 taels, and the states and counties have their own pricing, and they are really the real price, and Tong Su is not bullied! It's not Yang He, I didn't know that these dog minions could make money so much! Empress Zhou still clearly remembered the emperor's angry tone at that time, but she knew that the emperor was not angry at the matter of selling the official mantle itself, but at the fact that the money did not fall into his own pocket, even if it was sold. It should also be sold by the royal family. These dog minions dare to use the famous weapons of the court to benefit their own private pockets, they really deserve to die!

The character of Emperor Chongzhen, Empress Zhou, is very familiar, and it sounds like thrift. To say it badly is stingy. The dragon robes I usually wear are all old clothes left by the Apocalypse. The two brothers are about the same size, but they fit quite well, and the meals for each meal are only two meat and two vegetables. Therefore when he heard of all this white money, he had nothing to do with himself. The reaction can be imagined, it is as angry as being stolen a large sum of money!

However, if the unspoken rules of officialdom are so easy to break, it will not become an unspoken rule, even the emperor can do everything he wants. The officials of the Ministry naturally denied Yang He's criticism, and the court suddenly became a pot of porridge. The key thing is that there is no evidence for this kind of thing, there is no recording and filming these years, even if everyone knows it, but it is really difficult to say that he is ugly. In addition, the big guys in the DPRK and China have the intention to restrain them, pull the bias, and play Tai Chi, which is naturally a bad debt in the end.

Yang He is also an old gangster officialdom, his main purpose is to take this opportunity to knock on this gang of Donglin upstarts, with a little pandering, not like a stunned green cannon, seeing that the intention is achieved, naturally he will not be for himself, Shi Shiran stopped, and did not chase and fight. Unexpectedly, several Donglin bigwigs behind the officials have just taken office, and it is the time when they are in high spirits, but where can someone provoke them, and they ignore the rules of officialdom and take revenge on them.

The report came quickly, but in the middle of the month, the governors of the three sides were absent, and the court council (in fact, the Donglin council) recommended Yang He to this position.

Nima's poisoner is not like this! You must know that the younger brother of Bi Ziyan, the governor of Liaodong, has just been kidnapped and beaten by the mutinous rebels, and committed suicide in anger.

Chongzhen has just ascended the throne not long ago, and he is young, and this stall mainly relies on a group of Donglin bigwigs to preside over it, since it is a public discussion of the ministers, and the general reason is also upright, speaking of which, the imperial history of the capital is appointed as the governor of the three sides, and the rank is still a promotion, and the emperor is naturally not easy to refuse. Yang He cried a handful of snot and tears when his majesty resigned, and his admiration for the Son of Heaven was clearly visible (in fact, he didn't want to go to northern Shaanxi for hard work), so Chongzhen was also quite moved, and also gave him the Shangfang sword for the first time, and granted him the power of the military attache below the fourth grade to cut first and then play, and also took out 100,000 taels of silver from the inner money, and let him take it to Shaanxi for disaster relief and thief suppression.

Yang He cried even more fiercely with the silver, without him, the three sides of Shaanxi owe one or two hundred thousand taels, there are still hundreds of thousands of hungry people to be relieved, tens of thousands of rogues to be exterminated, and silver is needed in all aspects, which makes people's scalp tingle when they sound. Moreover, I heard that a stone of rice was sold for seven or eight taels of silver, and 100,000 taels of silver sounds like a lot, but any of the three things used for disaster relief, thief suppression, and military salary repayment are far from enough, let alone three things being carried out at the same time. What's even more desperate is that this idea of money to maintain the situation in northern Shaanxi is stretched, and there is no surplus money to make friends in Beijing to pay it back, and ask people to run to build momentum in order to return to Beijing as soon as possible, this is to let themselves die in the rhythm of poverty in northern Shaanxi!

To tell the truth, Emperor Chongzhen himself also felt sorry for Yang He, among the nine sides, the three towns of Yansui, Gansu, and Ningxia all belonged to the trilateral governors, plus the station Guyuan was also considered a town, and the trilateral governors actually governed four of the nine sides! However, most of the annual taxes of the imperial court are spent in Liaodong, Denglai and other places, and the annual salary of Liaodong alone is 5.2 million taels! The annual approved military salary of just one Dongjiang town is 1.2 million taels! Even if most of the middle is "floated away" by the civilian clique, the remaining amount is still extremely considerable.

Although Liaodong and Denglai are closer to Beijing, and there are strong enemies outside, which is related to the safety of the community, but this favoritism is too obvious!

When Yang He left Beijing to take up his post, including Emperor Chongzhen himself, no one in the government and the opposition was optimistic about him, but he was so talented that he still completed the task beautifully under such harsh conditions! With these 100,000 taels of silver in his hand, he can command an army of 50,000 in three towns, exterminate and pacify 100,000 rogues, behead the "two kings" of the giant robbers, and give relief to hundreds of thousands of victims!

What's even more commendable is that Yang He has done so many of the above major things, and the 100,000 taels of silver have not been used up, and there are still more than 20,000 taels left in the compromise, and a lot of money will be handed back to Shaofu! Maybe it's because of the defeat of the thieves and the seizure of a lot, Chongzhen guessed, but it's okay to fight, even so, it's also a battle to support the war, which is the ability of ancient famous generals!

Just like this, Emperor Chongzhen was already excited enough, but Yang He's compromise had even more exciting news. It is mentioned in the excerpt that he ordered Li Chong and Wu Wei of Ansai County to carry out various measures to restore agriculture in the territory under their jurisdiction, including the renovation of water conservancy facilities that had fallen into disrepair, the deployment of new agricultural tools and equipment, and the promotion of improved varieties of sweet potatoes introduced from abroad.

Not only that, the grain yield obtained is quite high, which is enough to resettle hundreds of thousands of disaster victims in northern Shaanxi! What's more, the model promoted by Yang He is not a pure relief usually used in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, including Jingshi, but allows the victims to grow and harvest themselves, or to work for relief, and let them work in exchange for rations, so that the victims can support themselves and do not become a burden on the government!

Chongzhen's heart was moved, and it was not only this that was rewarded by the shooting, but there was also a saying in the excerpt: The people of Ansai have their own livelihood and work, food and clothing are safe, and since last winter to spring, I have not heard of a person who died of cold and hunger.

"I have not heard of a single person dying of cold and starvation!"

If it is said that it is already a great difficulty to help the victims, then it is even more difficult to let the 100,000 victims of Ansai go through the entire harsh winter and none of them die of cold and starvation, which is something that even the Beijing division can never do.

Moreover, the land in northern Shaanxi that is so poor that birds do not lay eggs has been in drought for eight consecutive years, and I heard that there are grasshoppers, and the inferiority of the situation is not only based on the Tao! Ma Maocai, a native of Ansai, Yan'an Prefecture, is a native of Ansai, and the tragic situation of the victims of the disaster in Yan'an described in "Preparing for Chen's Great Hunger" written by him in the middle of last year based on what he saw and heard with his own eyes is particularly vivid. "Digging stones in the mountains and eating little and being full, after a few days, the abdomen distended and fell and died", "Cooking human bones as wages and boiling human flesh as food", "Digging several pits outside the county seat, each pit can accommodate hundreds of people, to cover their remains." When the minister came, it was more than three pits, "It's really sad to hear it, and I cry!"

It was only in mid-May last year when Ma Mao came to relieve Chen of these hellish scenes, and Yang He only arrived in July, that is to say, Yang He governed Ansai from hell on earth to a paradise where everyone has plenty of food and clothing in just half a year!

"With such a great talent, Zhenzhen almost buried it!" Chongzhen rubbed his hands excitedly, pacing indoors, gritting his teeth again, "These poor people of the Donglin Party will only open their mouths to ask me for silver!" Silver, silver, where did I get the silver, the family wealth left by my ancestors is about to be tossed away! ”

"Besides, you can't do anything without money? Zhang of the Tang Dynasty guarded Juyang, there was no food and no salary, and the soldiers were digging rats and birds, who saw a penny of silver? Don't people want to be loyal and not keep the city? Look at Yang He again, tens of thousands of taels of silver have done so many things! I thought I didn't know, they didn't have a good heart when they sent Yang He out in the first place, and the conscience of these officials is really bad! I didn't expect that Yang He was not a waste like them, but he made a lot of real effort! I'd like to see what else these rotten people have to say! Chongzhen said angrily, his tone was urgent and fast.

Speaking of which, it's still a lot of money for the suspect to ask him! Queen Zhou, who knew her husband's temperament, couldn't help but smile, and was slightly distracted, if it was really as her husband said, this person was actually Fang Du's first-class capable minister and good looking talent!

This Yang He, I'm afraid it's going to be of great use (to be continued......)
