All the people who were captured were struggling desperately, especially the first person who was put down by Wu Wei had the most arrogant attitude, full of foul language, and clamoring to ask the government to take people. The soldiers on the side hated him for speaking foul language, and took off his chin without saying a word, and the man was suddenly speechless.

Li Chong and Ma Yicheng came back to their senses at this time, Ma Yicheng saw that the rich slaves were punished, and his heart was also very happy, but he was a little worried, he knew the identities of Li Chong and Wu Wei, and secretly thought that Wu Wei would not take people indiscriminately, but he was not very flustered, so he leaned over and whispered to Wu Wei: "Wu Wei, this"

Li Chong also walked over and opened his mouth to speak, he had seen Wu Wei's thunderbolt method to deal with the people and rebellion, and knew that he must have an idea, he was shocked at the time, but then calmed down.

Wu Wei stopped them with gestures, and said loudly: "Where did you come from, you dare to pretend to be someone from the Jin Palace, if you don't show your flaws, you will almost be deceived." If you want His Royal Highness the King of Jin to shepherd one side for the Son of Heaven and keep himself clean, how can he communicate privately with the local generals, and you say that His Royal Highness the King of Jin is a traitor like King Ning? ”

It turned out that during the Zhengde period, King Ning raised an army and rebelled, and was pacified by Wang Shouren, and then the Ming court took stricter precautions against the feudal domains, and the handover between the vassal king and the military ministers became a taboo.

Of course, at this time, more than 100 years have passed since the Zhengde Dynasty, and the rules have long been not so strict, or the king of Jin would not dare to openly use the fire card of the Shanxi general army to levy the manpower and material resources of the post station.

Wu Wei has already thought about this matter very clearly, he knows the disadvantages of the post station at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Nima said that it is not the official government to eat and drink for nothing? Isn't it common for such things to happen in modern times? There are even restaurants that have been shut down by the township government.

And the disadvantages of the post station at the end of the Ming Dynasty are even more all-round, including food and shelter and extortion of money, plus the post station funds issued are stripped layer by layer, and sometimes even a percent of the post station is not in the hands of the post station, fortunately, there is also a post field to collect some food, barely let a group of people who depend on this for a living struggle to get their lives, otherwise they would have dispersed a long time ago.

In fact, the Nine-Frontier Garrison Army was much the same, and the military salaries were generally not paid, and if it weren't for the grain output of the military cantonments, the soldiers would have mutinied many times. Rao is so. Once the harvest is bad in a disaster year. It is not difficult to predict what the soldiers will do when they have no pay and no food.

What's even more bizarre is that at the critical moment when Huang Taiji has hit outside Beijing, the military department wants to save food. He didn't give food to the Qinwang army in Shanxi for three days. As a result, these thousands of elites scattered in a hurry. After the incident, the leading generals were beheaded, and none of the officers of the military department were punished.

In the face of the entire numb and decaying bureaucratic interest groups, even Emperor Chongzhen was helpless. He could only reluctantly accept Zhou Yanru's statement: a good general can make the soldiers "digging rats" also serve their lives, thinking that Zhang Patrol was so hungry that he was determined to eat people in Juyang City, and these soldiers mutinied without eating for three days, which is naturally because the generals are not strict in governing the army on weekdays.

It is impossible for the IQ of a person who can be admitted to the top prize to be so low (Zhou Yanru is from the top student), and the only explanation can only be that there is something wrong with his conscience.

The conscience of the entire bureaucratic interest group is in trouble.

There are still three months, that is, in April of the second year of Chongzhen, Liu Mao is about to write a letter to abolish the post station, but unfortunately, the starting point is good, but the result is the worst.

According to Liu Mao and Chongzhen's expectations, to abolish one-third of the world's post stations, it can save six or seven hundred thousand taels of silver every year, which is very good to do a little thing, for Emperor Chongzhen, who can be naïve enough to take 100,000 taels of silver to relieve the disaster in Shaanxi Province, this is a huge amount of money.

But the result of the matter was that the post station was cut, the post fields were divided among the powerful and nobles, and the silver Chongzhen did not receive a penny, and they were all borrowed by the local government, and they were basically used for eating and drinking, leaving only tens of thousands of post station people who lost their livelihoods.

No one thought about how to settle these people, so they had no choice but to embark on the road of rebellion against the Ming Dynasty, and one of them was named Li Zicheng.

It is no longer advisable to cut the flesh to mend the sores, and it is even more wrong to add new ones to the old sores without recovering them.

In Wu Wei's opinion, the post station is actually a good thing, why should it be abolished, this is really a tyrannical thing, and it is extremely wasteful!

Isn't the post station equivalent to a modern post office or express point, and also serves as a government guest house? For a country with a vast territory like Daming, this thing should be able to make a lot of money!

Just think about it, the Ming Dynasty now has a tendency to deteriorate public security, which is undoubtedly a heavy negative for merchants, and their merchants are facing greater risks than before, so they also have to pursue higher excess profits, which are naturally passed on to the final consumers, which has caused the livelihood of the common people to become more and more difficult.

The exchange business engaged in by "Rishengchang" can solve the problem of the flow of money, and the post station can solve the problem of the flow of materials if it is used well!

To put it bluntly, if the post station is regarded as a state-owned enterprise on the verge of bankruptcy and waiting to be acquired, in fact, its value is greatly underestimated, and even regarded as a big burden of the government, just like the state before the reform of modern state-owned enterprises.

It has thousands of outlets, hundreds of thousands of horses, hundreds of thousands of skilled employees, and a large number of fixed assets such as housing construction, post fields, and ships.

And its employees demand extremely low salaries, hard work, and a fully competitive labor market outside to supplement it, in other words, there are too many people who don't have enough to eat, and you don't do it, and some people do it.

What's even better is that if the "Rishengchang" and the post station carry out some form of joint operation, relying on the outlets of the post station, with the help of the national reputation of the post station, the development of "Rishengchang" is undoubtedly an incomparably huge promotion!

Of course, there is a risk, and when Nima arrives, the gods from all walks of life will reach out when they see that their eyes are not even.

However, there are also ways to deal with this Wu Wei.

That is to pull the emperor as a shareholder.

I will start first, dedicate half of the shares to the emperor himself, and all the proceeds will be given to the inner treasury, or simply hand over a sum of silver to the emperor every year, not much, how about a million taels.

You said, I raise these people by myself, I don't want the emperor to be an eldest son, and I also hand over a large sum of money to the emperor's small treasury every year.

Wu Wei has been thinking about this for more than a day or two, and he has started to fight the idea of this post station since the construction of "Rishengchang", but he used to think about it, not to mention anything else, how to reach the sky is a big problem, is it difficult to run to Beijing to go to Fuque to study?

But since the Ansai battalion won several big battles and was appreciated by Yang He, the governor of the three sides, Wu Weike's mind became active again.

Yang He's entry into the cabinet seems to be almost nine out of ten, he entered the cabinet for the first time, it is estimated that it would be good to get a scholar from the East Pavilion, but he should also have a certain say in such a matter as reforming the post station.

With this idea, Wu Wei's behavior today can be explained, he is also a kind of temptation, the so-called day is better than hitting the day, anyway, the reform of the post station will offend the entire interest group sooner or later, it is better to take the toothless tiger of King Jin to test the water!
