In the third year of Chongzhen, the Hou of the Ministry of Household Shangshu was short of support, and he neglected twelve things, asking for an increase in tariffs and donations of public funds. Liang Tingdong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said that the soldiers were short of food and that the people were poor, all because of official corruption. After the officials are corrupt, they will add land endowments to the people, and the people will agree.

Hou Sui asked for an increase of 3 cents per mu, so he increased the field by more than 1.65 million, which was increased by the old one, totaling more than 6.8 million.

In the third year of Chongzhen (1630), the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Nanju Yi opened an example. Then Nanzhili Patrol according to the royal road to solve the Su, Song, Chang, Zhen four prefectures, Daozhou County and other officials and township Jindian households donated 9,838 taels of silver, to the fourth day of the fourth month of April, Nan Juyi and other rates are subsidized. Emperor Chongzhen's preferential will be accepted. Since then, donations have been made to support salaries.

In the third year of Chongzhen (1630), Chen Yaoyan was sparse in the Nanjing Household Branch: Nanjing Household Department has a new and old two factories. The old factory minted money to put military food and support officials, the new factory minted money from the first year of Taichang (1620), the original south drum cast south money, in order to support the lack of the old factory, in addition to the military grain commercial price between the age of one year, still with the surplus profit to help Liao. In the second year of the Apocalypse (1622), the north was used to recast the north money, which was the casting bureau in the south and the minting from the north. However, the north casting has stopped, and the southern casting should be restored, and it has to be stopped. If you can set up a place to cast tens of thousands of gold, you can take the benefits of the year, and you can benefit from a lot of benefits, so please restore the factory to the south, and the Chongzhen Emperor ordered the division to discuss and hear.

Wang Chengen was shocked, it's been more than a month, the emperor is okay with everything, this is also a terrible thing, the little thing in Nanjing, Wang Chengen is very clear, and he is also very clear about the emperor's consistent temper. This emperor is because he has been ignoring the government recently. Anything. I didn't look at it at all, if the emperor recovers one day, he will definitely be held accountable! Of course, Wang Chengen knew that the emperor would not allow the economy of the Ming Dynasty to be controlled in the hands of the Jiangnan gentry!

"Long live Lord, don't drink it, have you seen the coinage recital proposed by Nanjing?" Wang Chengen asked cautiously.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen drank a whole pot of wine in one breath, he was not drunk, but he was not sober! He doesn't seem to be able to get drunk no matter how much he drinks! It's almost done! Seeing the situation of Daming. It's time for him to blow up a result! At this time, his road was broken, how could he not be frustrated and lonely?

"Didn't I say it, let you decide for yourselves? What do you want me to do? It's up to you to do it yourself! "Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen has a weak way, he has anger in his heart, but he can't send it out, he is like a person who has been stripped naked, his qiē has returned to the track of the past, he knows it very well. No matter how hard you try, all the efforts. will also be broken by the Central Plains anti-people, the northern Jiannu, the Liaodong Jiangmen and the Jiangnan gentry, he is a person, he is not a god, he is not invincible! He doesn't have the ability to save such a mess in the last days of the Ming Dynasty!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen himself didn't want to do this, and he also wanted to cheer himself up, he just returned to ancient times, and when he returned to the Ming Dynasty, he didn't know that he could go back to modern times! He wasn't afraid, and I can be ambitious! But he can't do it now!

Wang Chengen couldn't help crying, since he cried in front of the emperor last time, the emperor didn't reprimand him, he was addicted, and he wanted to shed tears at every turn. Wang Chengen now wishes that the emperor is the same as the previous two years, even if he is misbehaving, even if he is tyrannical and unreasonable, it is better than borrowing wine all day long to kill his sorrows! What problems can drinking solve? Moreover, Wang Chengen knows that although the emperor drinks a lot, he doesn't like to drink since he was a child! Wang Chengen didn't know what the emperor's pain came from? His speculation has not been confirmed by the emperor himself!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen impatiently glanced at Wang Chengen, who was kneeling and crying, as if he remembered something, and said weakly, "Companion, what are you crying about?" Didn't I say that you are not allowed to cry in front of me? Is crying in front of me a deception? Aren't you the emperor? Am I not the Emperor now? ”

Wang Chengen was bold and listened to the emperor's inarticulate chatter, "You are the emperor?" Daming, who dares to say that you are not the emperor? No matter what you do, you are the emperor, the emperor, we can't do this anymore, you wake up, don't drink. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen took a bottle of wine! Ignoring Wang Chengen, he dried up this bottle of wine in one go! He didn't want to drink to death in one go, but this feeling was really refreshing, so that people could not think about anything and concentrate on fighting alcohol! "This sake is getting fainter and weaker now! Let people increase the degree of wine, why can't I get drunk? ”

Wang Chengen looked at the emperor who had no temper at all, looking at this emperor who was like a drunk man in the market, the pain in his heart felt that the whole world was going to be pressed together, and wiped his tears, "The old slave retired." ”

The emperor snorted and smiled, "Companion, don't come to me in the future!" You can do it yourself, your ability is no worse than Wei Zhongxian, he can govern, you can do it, your ability is not worse than me, you can do what you want, you can do it, you just treat me as an emperor like the imperial brother, he loves to play carpenter, I am not as good as the imperial brother, I will drink a small bar! ”

Wang Chengen knew that it would be in vain to persuade again, so he wiped his tears and hurried to Kunning Palace!

Empress Zhou had already heard about the emperor, but she didn't expect it to be so strict, Wang Chengen really had no choice, he knew that in the palace, even looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, dare to tell the truth to the emperor, and the woman who can tell the truth to the emperor may only be Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan and Empress Zhou Ke'er, and the emperor seems to have obvious feelings for Empress Yi'an recently, then, he can only find Empress Zhou.

Zhou Ke'er looked at Zhu Cihong, who was being held and playing by the palace maid, and sighed slightly, "Princess, you know the emperor's temper, what can you let me do?" ”

Wang Chengen sighed, "The old slave doesn't know what happened to the emperor in the last two months, but now Shaanxi is in danger!" Although Jiannu has retired, he doesn't know when he will make a comeback! The gentry in Jiangnan are taking the opportunity to exert pressure again, this qiē is like heavy pressure, and Daming can't afford it! If this continues, within a year, Daming will be ......"

Wang Chengen's old tears are rampant! If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't say the words of the country, he would have almost spoken! (To be continued......)
