Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's mind flashed a thought, he took the initiative to think about the land in the Gyeonggi region, and then overturned his own idea and used his brain against the officials, it was because of the Jingcha plan as a cover! Directly attack the big landlords, this is too much to say!

To be able to become a big landlord, there are a bunch of small landlords behind the buttocks, and these landlord class are not only a class, but also responsible for managing a large number of tenant farmers! They are actually the leaders and masters of this society, and what would happen to this feudal society if there was no landlord class? As the largest landlord, the emperor did not dare to imagine that the emperor's control of the feudal society was actually done by the landlord class of the feudal society, and the landlords were killed, so what would the emperor use to lead the world? Do you have to change your own life?

"It's impossible for a food shortage to reach this point overnight, it's someone hoarding! The big food farmers are driving up prices! In hoarding. In the future, all the necessities related to food and clothing, if someone is found hoarding and raising prices, they must use thunderous means! Crack down! Zhu Youzhen knocked lightly on the imperial case, not wanting the ministers to feel panicked.

The silence of the upper study can be heard in the falling pin!

Everyone understands the truth, but what can be done? Isn't it true that the big people who have food will make their fortune from this? Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it is even more necessary to make a big profit! What can your emperor do? Catch them all, grab them all? These people are not relatives of the emperor, but they also have a great relationship with the relatives of the emperor! Don't say it's an ordinary area, it's the Gyeonggi area! At the feet of the Son of Heaven! Which line is not connected to the top of your emperor himself? Don't get it to the end, find out your emperor's own head, right?

"First, set up a food bureau under the household department! Specifically for this food shortage, Qian Longxi took the lead! The Criminal Department, the Ministry of War, and the Shangshu Shilang all participated, and all these large food households were all means! It is impossible for these gentlemen to be clean, and whoever has a case in his body will be dealt with strictly! 500 people were drawn from the Imperial Forest Army, the soldiers and horses of the five cities and the Imperial History Yamen who patrolled the city, and the Jinyi Guards cooperated. Secondly, hire the young and strong among the common people to help transport grain in Shandong, so that Shandong Cao grain can reach Beijing! Third, buy all the horses and living animals of the Jingshi with imperial silver, and then sell them to families and officials who are really in difficulty at a fair price, and remember to ensure the most basic living problems of public officials, so that the imperial court and the people at the bottom will not collapse, and they will be able to survive this food shortage! Kill the horse today! The Imperial Forest Army left 500 war horses, and the rest were also killed, and they were sold at a low price to the people of the capital who could no longer open the pot. Priority is given to families without men, and priority is given to the elderly, weak, women and children. Qian Longxi, do you have what it takes to do this errand? Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen said as he knocked on the imperial case, staring at Qian Longxi with a pair of handsome eyes.

Qian Longxi sweated and kowtowed, "The old minister does his best!" ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head, "It's not that you want to do your best!" I want results! You are an important minister in the cabinet, I have given you power, and you have been an official for more than 40 years, you can't say that you have no experience! The Food Bureau must be set up today! The personnel of each department are in place, and the meat will be sent down first, and this group of big food farmers will be judged at night! Put pressure on them, you can't kill people, but you have to get out the grain, and within ten days, the grain from Shandong must arrive in Beijing! You can't let more than 10,000 people move out of Beijing because your errand has not been done well, and because you have no food! More than 10,000 people, I will definitely kill you! I will ask the city gate officials of each city gate to count the number of families who have left Beijing one by one! ”

Everyone present was shocked twice at once, the first time was that the emperor came up with a solution so quickly, which was shocking enough, and the second surprise was because of the emperor's attitude towards Qian Longxi, this is a death order, and it is very difficult! couldn't help but glance at Qian Longxi sympathetically.

Of course, Qian Longxi understood that it was because of the Liaoxi general's efforts to protect him and Yu Dacheng, as well as Wang Qia's matter, which made the emperor angry! It's really going to kill! But he was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, so he didn't hesitate, and if he didn't accept his will at this time, he would die directly! As long as you can keep the position of a senior member, what is there to be afraid of death? What is his old life compared to decades of ups and downs to get to his current position? "The old minister obeys!"

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu stood up resolutely, "Let's go down on an errand!" Remember the deadline I gave you, within ten days, you must stabilize the people's livelihood in the capital! ”

"Obey the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live." The officials rushed out and cautiously withdrew from the upper study, facing such a thoughtful and decisive emperor, everyone thought about what to do well, and there was no need to have too many ideas, because the emperor had already omitted all the time for discussion and arguing. If it had been put on hold, such a big matter, even if the emperor personally participated in the discussion, would have to take at least two or three days to achieve results, and by the time it was implemented, the situation might have exceeded the scope of what could be controlled.

"Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that the problem of food shortage is not big, as long as the emperor is determined to take those big households with food, it is actually a small problem, but in this way, there will also be two thorny problems, the first is that in the future, these people will have a grudge against the emperor, will they all transfer their property to the south, so that the economic strength of the Gyeonggi region will further decline? What's even more terrifying is that once these people leave the Gyeonggi area, they are likely to spread rumors and slander the emperor everywhere, and may even gather people to rebel? These have to be guarded against, these are not the small people of Shengdou, if they rebel, it will be many times greater than the influence of those mud legs who don't know anything! Second, if in these ten days, Huang Taiji comes back to the carbine, then everything is over, and once the capital is closed, there is no way. Wang Chengen knew that the emperor might have to discuss with him, and took the lead in saying the future troubles that might be caused in quelling this food shortage.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled contemptuously, "Where do these people like to go, I don't believe in the rich Jingshi, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, there are no rich people coming?" As long as the political situation is stable, Beijing will always be the most attractive business center! Politics center! Gather a crowd to rebel? Wow, come and kill as many as you want! I'm not afraid of rebellion! The most tricky thing is that there are no armed forces! Now that the army and public officials have been dispatched, and the young and strong people who can be requisitioned have also been requisitioned, originally I had gathered a thousand cavalry, and I wanted to go out and take a look in person, and see what the situation was on the front lines of Zunhua, Qian'an, Yongping, and Luanzhou! Now, I'm left alone to take a look! ”

Wang Chengen was shocked and comforted, "Your Majesty, there is nothing to see, and there is nothing to worry about, within half a month, the quasi-guarantee will enter the winter, as long as it is winter, it is impossible for the Emperor Taiji and the Jiannu not to consider the way back, within half a month, the old slaves guarantee that they will withdraw from the Great Wall." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen sighed, "Half a month? From Zunhua to the capital, it only takes less than two days to make an assault, if Huang Taiji gets the news, we urgently need Shandong Cao grain to solve the urgent need, they will definitely arrange to intercept and kill! This is a major event related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, whether millions of people will move south, and the stability of the Ming Jingshi. I can't figure out why Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan combined, at least tens of thousands of troops, can't give Huang Taiji enough blows! The weapons and equipment that are not much different are in the Gyeonggi region of Daming itself, why can't the figures suppressed by Jiannu be found? ”

Wang Chengen knew that persuasion was of little use, "Then the emperor, don't kill the war horses of the Imperial Forest Army, a thousand horses, it's not very useful, why don't you keep it to attack?" ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, "My words have been said, this is not just a matter of a thousand horses, my war horses have been taken out, families with living creatures dare not hide them privately, a horse can at least let a hundred people live for ten days, and a thousand horses can make a hundred people live for ten days!" At least the most difficult 100,000 people can feel the warmth of the imperial court, and the others can tighten their trouser pockets, and it is possible to pass this food shortage! Do you understand? ”

Wang Chengen said boldly, "But, Your Majesty, you went to the front line as a Xunlou inspector, even if you saw Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan, it would be useless, right?" Even if you see how they fight, it won't help the whole picture, right? ”

The emperor sneered, "The identity of the inspection of Xunlou doesn't work, but you can take the holy decree with you, I believe that the holy decree still works, right?" ”
