The first wind and rain drifted away

In the main hall, after Zhang Zhifa's action, the atmosphere was very depressing.

But Emperor Chongzhen didn't seem to feel it, and he was still full of energy to explain some reforms to Wen Tiren and other cabinet courtiers about the martial arts scientific examination, and he was calm.

Emperor Chongzhen, who crossed over, understood that if you want to be angry with these bastards, you are asking for hardship.

Among the courtiers who work for themselves, except for some people, most of them can be divided into two types, one is a bastard and the other is a stupid hat.

They belong to the happiest middle class, and their main job is to deceive their superiors and subordinates, and to be self-righteous.

The specific feature is that in addition to good things, everything is done, except for face, everything is wanted.

And the top and bottom belong to the most miserable people.

The top level is himself, called Emperor Chongzhen, and the bottom is called the common people.

Of course, he is now trying to change that.

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, the ideal courtier should be like this: I said, listen, and then work hard. If you can't do it, you can't do it well, you don't want to do it, and you change people to do it.

Instead of just shouting all day long, this is not good, that is not possible, fight with you, watch them fight, Emperor Chongzhen said that I have no spare time.

Democracy is something that can be played in peacetime, and it's healthier to be noisy!

But during the war, when the country is about to be broken, it is necessary to unite as one and rule the dictatorship.

On the other side of the world, the uneducated American imperialists knew that they wanted to centralize power during the war, so why didn't the big country with 5,000 years of cultural precipitation understand?

To put it bluntly, it's actually a corrupt Confucianism and a misguided country!

Reading to dogs.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have decided to abolish the Liao salary from now on, make the edict to the world, and pass the decree on the nine sides."

After talking about the martial arts scientific examination, Emperor Chongzhen began to explain another more important matter.

At this time, there was no levy on training and expulsion, and there was only a separate salary.

"Your Majesty, do you want to hold it off?

If the treasury is empty today, if the Liao salary is abolished, there will be a shortage of more than 5,220,000 taels of silver a year, and Shanhaiguan will need to pay as much as 4 million taels of silver a year.

The current situation is decadent, and Liaodong must not be lost! ”

Wang Yingxiong, the second assistant in charge of supervising the household department, stood up with twitching corners of his eyes, and asked cautiously.

If it weren't for his duty, he swore he would never say a word.

There's no way, the Son of Heaven is too murderous today, I'm afraid! In just one day, so many things have been done, and there is nothing wrong with being careful.

"Wang Aiqing is right, Liaodong must not be lost!"

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and nodded at Wang Yingxiong, and the jewels and jade in the crown were shining and dazzling under the sunlight.

For those who are serious about things and suggestions, it is necessary to affirm, especially the second assistant Wang Yingxiong.

This second assistant who is embarrassed by Wen Tiren, Emperor Chongzhen knows better, and he is also defined as a traitor by a righteous gentleman.

But it was this traitor, after the deity hanged himself, that he was appointed by the Nanming Hongguang regime as the secretary of the military department and the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the governor of Sichuan, Lake, Yun, and Gui military affairs.

Moreover, Chu, Yun, and Guang also listened to his moderation and suppressed Zhang Xianzhong.

The court gave 30,000 taels of silver and gave Shang Fang a sword. was ordered to be in danger, but he was called a supervisor but had no teacher to supervise, and he stupidly agreed.

It is estimated that there was not enough greed in the past, and it took 2,000 troops to recruit 2,000 people after scattering all the wealth, opening the government of Zunyi, and recommending the Sichuan generals Luo Yuxin, Hou Tianxi, Zeng Ying, Wang Xiang and others.

In the second year of Longwu, Jiannu entered Sichuan, in a vain attempt to recruit Wang Yingxiong.

But he killed the traitors who came, abandoned Zunyi and entered Bijie, escaped into Yongning Mountain, and later died in Bijiewei.

The only child, Wang Yangxi, also died at the hands of the rebels, so that there was no descendant to pass it on.

Later, the Southern Ming Dynasty posthumously awarded him as a scholar of Taibao and Jianji Palace, nicknamed "Wen Ke".

Therefore, in Emperor Chongzhen's heart, traitors and loyal ministers are not important, the key depends on what he has done.

In the palace, Ni Jiansheng, the household attendant, saw that the emperor agreed with the words of the second assistant Wang Yingxiong, thinking that the emperor had changed his mind and was not ready to abolish the grain and salary, so he took a peek, and seemed to have a good face, so he got up and said:

"Your Majesty, Liao's salary is clear, and Weichen agrees with the abolition.

Bi Shangshu once said: Even if Dongnu loves the long stack and does not leave a single arrow to the nine sides, and my great tomorrow has been waiting to wither. ”

Emperor Chongzhen saw that it was the household servant who came out to answer, a little strange, and reasoned his thoughts, and then remembered that Bi Ziyan, the head of the household department, was imprisoned in the prison of the criminal department by the deity last month.

"Zheng Aiqing, I bother you to personally release Bi Shangshu and take charge of the household department again."

Who is Bi Ziyan, naturally there is no need to say more, that is a rare financial expert in the Ming Dynasty.

The suggestions put forward by him such as increasing salt introduction, cutting redundant soldiers and redundant service, inspecting military salaries, checking the hidden fields in the world, and setting up military cantonments made the Ming Dynasty's finances barely supported.

Using the right people and doing good deeds is the purpose of Emperor Chongzhen.

If the deity does something wrong, it must be him who wipes his ass.

"Obey the order!" Zheng Sanjun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, happily took the order and left.

Today, the palace is dangerous, and it is a good choice to stay away from the land of right and wrong.

"Ni Shilang, I gave you the sword of Shang Fang, so that you can rush to the front line of Guanning again, two things. First, the number of soldiers should be ascertained according to the military register.

Second, he told Fu Zonglong, the governor of Jiliao, to abolish the grain and salary, and in the future, the military expenses of Guanning would be drawn from the inner treasury. ”

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes showed a fierce light and said murderously.

It's funny to say, the number of soldiers and horses on the front line in Guanning, whether it is the military department or the household department, including Emperor Chongzhen, no one knows how many people and horses there are.

But he only knew that it would cost more than four million dollars a year.

Of course, this is not possible to distribute the full amount to the front-line soldiers and use it for combat needs.

In addition to embezzlement and deduction of revenues and expenditures from military salaries, civilian officials and generals at all levels have also made a big fuss about fortifications and empty salaries.

In the third year of Chongzhen, Bi Ziyan set up a special household servant Ni Jiansheng, and he was also the imperial envoy of the right servant, and he was the governor of Liao.

By shipping from Deng and Lai to Niangniang Palace to land, and then transported by land to Guangning and Liaoyang, each stone of military rations cost one gold, so he felt the deepest about the situation of military salaries at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

"The emperor is sage, the minister is ordered!"

Ni Jiansheng was overjoyed, not only because the Son of Heaven adopted the suggestion of the household department, but also because he was happy that he was reused.

Moreover, the inner treasury of the palace took over the burden of the household department, and there was no need to worry about money and silver in the future.

As for whether there are silver taels in the inner treasury, I'm sorry, that's not in his consideration.

Wen Tiren glanced at the calm and calm Emperor Chongzhen, as if he was not worried about the annual salary of millions of soldiers, he was cunning and cunning, and he had completely understood what he was going to do next.

Tightening the two books in his sleeve, he exhaled softly, and he had a choice in his heart, and he was much more confident.
