The first wind and rain drifted away

The amount of tribute grain is in accordance with the instructions of Emperor Chongzhen, and it must meet the annual consumption of the Ming border army and the Beijing camp, and the more the better.

In this case, the plan made by the cabinet and the household department was to ask for the price to pay back on the spot, so the mouth was wide open.

In this regard, Wang Yingxiong is mentally prepared.

Unfortunately, the result was beyond his expectations.

"Please ask the king to reply to the Son of Heaven on behalf of the small country, Siam has a lot of grain, and the lower official will repair the book and return to China, and inform the lord of the country to prepare food.

It's just that we are far away from Daming, land transportation is inconvenient, there are not enough ships in the country by sea, and there is no experience in long-distance voyages, do you think ......? ”

This time, after listening to Wang Yingxiong's words, the first to jump out was the Siamese envoy, who did not raise any objections to the amount of tribute, but only raised practical difficulties.

Siam is the later Thailand, the world's famous production base, naturally there is no worry about food.

In fact, not only Siam, but also the entire Nanyang region, where rice is harvested three times a year, is the base for grain production.

It's just that these black monkeys are too lazy, as long as they can eat enough, try to replace them with hard-working Han people?

"Master Wang, please rest assured, the food that Daming needs, we should do our best to prepare.

The lord of the lower country has long said that our country should serve the heavenly kingdom with a father. Now the Holy Son of Heaven has a fate, and the whole country should go all out to raise food.

However, my situation is the same as that of Siam, so please observe it. ”

The envoy of the Zhenla Kingdom also said that there was no pressure, what a rare opportunity to go to the heavenly kingdom!

Isn't it food, let the lord of the country let the untouchables be more diversified next year, dare to be lazy, and serve with a whip.

Although this time Master Wang said that the Heavenly Empire will not return the gift, it depends on the long-term no.

Besides, more than a dozen vassal states are apportioned, what a big deal!

Other vassal states have also stated that the food problem can be solved, and the focus is still on transportation.

Because, they don't have a navy.

If you go by land, you'll be almost finished by the time it arrives.

The more Wang Yingxiong listened, the more surprised he became, and he admired Emperor Chongzhen more and more.

Without it, everything was expected by his old man, and it had already been arranged.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's good to have food, it's good to have food! The problem of transportation was solved by the Ming Navy. ”

Wang Yingxiong remembered the food situation of the Ming Dynasty, and then looked at the reactions of these vassal states, and said loudly: "I also hope that you will send a letter to the lords of various countries, and the Ming Dynasty will have a return for a variety of grains in the coming year." ”

The envoys of various countries smiled happily, and there is a sentence from the Ming Dynasty, which is worth it!

For more than 200 years, the reputation of the Ming Dynasty has been leveraged, and it seems that the benefits are indispensable.

Wang Yingxiong came back from Honglu Temple and immediately rushed to the palace, eager to report this good thing to Emperor Chongzhen.

——————————————

In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen was standing in front of the imperial case with a concentrated expression at this time, the brush in his hand was on the rice paper on the desktop, and the ground was full of crumpled waste paper.

The few little eunuchs waiting next to him stood aside and didn't dare to come out, for fear of disturbing the emperor's Yaxing at this time.

Indeed, after returning from the Xishan military camp, Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood.

Getting rid of a national prince shocked the entire circle of nobles and nobles, and cleared the way for Brother Pingtou to reorganize the Beijing camp, and he, the head of the military reform team, played a major role.

Giving away two titles, in exchange for the return of the Shizhu Tujia family, solving the hidden dangers in the future, and buying people's hearts, this deal is cost-effective.

At the same time, this is also his first step to replace the old nobles with new ones.

Regular activity keeps things in good shape.

The Ming class has been solidified for too long, and it must be allowed to flow in order to regain its vitality.

And that's what he, the king, is going to do.

A qualified emperor must have resources at hand to allocate them, but at the same time he must have the ability to take him back.

It should be said that Emperor Chongzhen was immersed in this joy.

That's the charm of power.

Of course, he is not yet a fully qualified king, because there is no matching strength to sweep everything.

Therefore, he used the method of fixed-point blasting to remove obstacles little by little and try to avoid large-scale collapse.

Quantitative change causes qualitative change, and when the time is ripe, that is, when the time is full-scale EOD.

While this can be slow and tedious, it's certainly safe to write a plan.

If you really encounter any unexpected situation, it's not too late to overturn the table and work hard, anyway, I dare to work hard.

Xiao Dezi, who was standing on the side, saw Emperor Chongzhen writing so intently that sweat oozed from his forehead and he didn't realize it, so he hurriedly stepped forward with a concerned face and said:

"Emperor, take a break, you've been writing for more than an hour."

Emperor Chongzhen stopped his pen after hearing this, looked at the words on the rice paper and did not answer, he was making a plan.

At this time, the small yellow door outside the hall reported that Wang Yingxiong asked to see him, and Emperor Chongzhen listened, put the pen lightly on the pen stand, and slowly sat down on the dragon chair, "Biography!" ”

After hearing this, the little eunuch immediately bowed down to receive the order, bent down and walked out of the hall.

After a while, Wang Yingxiong hurriedly came in, and after saluting, he reported on the grain raising situation of the Nanyang vassal state.

"Okay, Wang Aiqing has done a good job, let the vassal country grow grain to feed the people of the Ming Dynasty, it is exactly like this.

I'm only worried that there won't be enough food, and it's okay to talk about the silver taels. ”

Hearing what Wang Yingxiong said, Emperor Chongzhen praised again and again.

As for the things that were given to them, Emperor Chongzhen didn't care.

In this world, it has always been the eldest brother who drinks wine and eats meat, and the younger brother eats and drinks together, mainly depending on performance.

Behave well, just give some money, you can't eat or drink, Daming's tattooed silver is buried in the cellar, waiting for Jinyiwei to dig it.

If you don't behave well, you should fight, and you should kill!

These white-eyed wolves must not be soft.

"Your Majesty, this is the candidate for the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry after the cabinet discussion, please ask the emperor to judge!

Recently, for these two positions, the courtiers can be said to be the eight immortals who have crossed the sea to show their magical powers, which is annoying.

If it drags on any longer, there will be some moths. ”

Wang Yingxiong took out the fold as he said and handed it to Xiao Dezi.

"Don't look at it, there are already candidates for the Ministry of Justice, can I tell you who the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is?"

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand to stop Xiao Dezi, who came to send the fold, and leaned his head on the back of the chair with his eyes slightly closed.

I've been busy all day and I'm a little tired.

"Your Majesty, Zhou Tingru, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, recommended the right to the imperial history of the imperial history."

Wang Yingxiong replied softly.

"What?"

Emperor Chongzhen was suddenly startled and shouted in a lost voice.
