After Zu Dashou heard his verdict, he fainted directly to the ground.

Wu Xiang and Zu Dachun and others cried and shouted for their lives.

But crying is naturally useless, Daming no longer needs them, and even they have become a stumbling block for Daming Zhongxing, and they are destined to be kicked away.

When Zu Dashou and other Liao generals were killed, many Liao Han people who had settled down in the pass came to watch the punishment and shouted that it was good.

Because as the Han people of Liao, the persecution caused to them by the Liao officials such as Zu Dashou is not inferior to that of Jiannu in many cases.

Because, it is impossible for the Han officials and generals of this era to expect them to have any national consciousness, if they can rob the people for ten points, they will never be kind enough to rob only nine points.

Therefore, when the Han people in Liaodi saw that their ancestors were killed, they would naturally shout hello.

Wu Xiang glanced at He Kegang in the crowd when he was chopped, he hated He Kegang very much now, because He Kegang betrayed them.

Also sentenced was Wu Sangui, a descendant of the Liao generals.

Wu Sangui naturally did not know that he would become the vanguard of the Qing Dynasty to seize the Han family after the fall of the Ming Dynasty in the original history, and cut off the last hope of the Ming regime on the mainland, and strangled the Yongli Emperor with a bowstring.

He just feels very unlucky now, from the beginning when he suddenly wanted to go to Jiannu to be a bannerman, and now he has followed his fathers to become criminals executed by the imperial court.

Wu Sangui smiled bitterly, he couldn't help but sigh, Cang Tian didn't give himself a good fate, so that he couldn't be a loyal minister and good general who made meritorious contributions, and could only be forced to die in the name of the thief.

In any case, the eradication of the gate of Liaodi is a good thing for the country and the people.

First of all, the Apocalypse finally decided to issue an edict to suspend the levy of Liao.

Originally, the levy should have been suspended a long time ago, after all, the state treasury had already been abundant.

But there is still resistance to the suspension of Liaodi, and the biggest resistance comes from these Liaodi generals and the forces that support them behind them.

And now that the Liaodi generals have been eradicated and replaced by the officials and soldiers directly under the imperial court to guard the Liaodi, there is naturally no longer any resistance to the suspension of Liaodi.

Secondly, the fertile land annexed by the Liao people began to be evenly divided among the Liao people, so that the Liao people would no longer have to leave their homes because of heavy exploitation. In addition, the imperial court also increased the income from the fields in Liaodi.

In addition, because the guards in Liaodi were directly subordinate to the central court, the emperor and the military department were willing to use the internal treasury to pay silver and reward silver to Liaodi, so that these officials and soldiers would no longer have to cause military discipline corruption and even oppress the local people because of the lack of salary.

At the same time, these officials and soldiers are also directly controlled by the imperial court, and they are guest troops, and most of the family scrolls are controlled by the imperial court, and even the income is judged by the amount of military merits, and they are not like the generals of Liaodi, because they are local landlords, and the income from land rent is not inferior to the salary and silver given by the imperial court, so they are not very keen on establishing military merits, and only hope to get more benefits from the imperial court.

Ma Xianglin, the new commander-in-chief of Ningyuan, was not keen on seizing the land of the local Liao people because he was a guest army, but only keen on killing and plundering the Mongolian rangers of the Liao people in exchange for military merits.

Therefore, the eradication of the generals of Liaodi is undoubtedly a positive feedback for the people of Liaodi.

The Liao generals were eradicated, making a large amount of Liao cultivated land owned by the common people.

After the four kings of De, Heng, Jing, and Jin were also punished for killing the king, their royal property was also distributed to the people.

The land occupied by these people in the past was not a small amount, so after the land was divided among the people, it was not a small amount that was directly reflected in the income of the imperial court.

However, this is a later story, and the problem in front of the Ming court is no longer the problem of lack of money, but the problem of too much money and too little food.

"The internal money has accumulated more than 30,000 taels of silver! The treasury of the state treasury has more than 130 million taels of gold and silver and other goods! In addition, there are more than 2 million stones of grain in stock. ”

Bi Ziyan, the new secretary of the household department, reported the imperial court savings to Tianqi and others in the Department of Planning and Planning at this time, and said: "These are all the income from the tax revenue increased after the confiscation of various families and the recovery of taxes and even the clearing of acres of fields, as well as the income from the operation of official stores in the East and West Factories and the overseas crackdown on smuggling in the West Factory. Although it is very abundant, the food expenditure is very huge, and the nearly 30 million stone grain endowment every year has not yet arrived in Beijing, and most of it is consumed due to the allocation of the use of the Industrial Department and the Ministry of War, plus the consumption of the inner court, official offices, schools, and disaster relief, so there is not much left. ”

"But after all, a man cannot eat money directly. The grain stock is only more than 2 million stones, which means that the imperial court is not enough to support a large army to completely exterminate Jiannu within this year. What's the point of saving so much silver? ”

Apocalypse then wrinkled his eyebrows and said in deep thought.

Zhang Gui said at this time: "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much, although the silver can't be eaten directly, he can exchange it for food." ”

"Although Huangming is a big producer of grain, it is also a big consumer of grain. In order to make grain not a problem, one is to increase one's own domestic grain output, and the other is to ask for grain from other countries. And this is all inseparable from silver! ”

"After all, to increase our domestic grain production, we need to spend money on water conservancy and research and development of high-yield crops."

"Asking for food from other countries, whether it is by sending troops to levy or sending people to buy it, it also costs silver."

"Therefore, the biggest problem now is how to spend it, and the silver has to be spent to turn it into food, so as to strengthen the country and benefit the people. Instead of saving it like the old wealth of the landlords of the people. ”

"That's the truth. Today's Ming Dynasty is indeed different from the beginning of the country, there is too much silver, too much population, relatively speaking, it seems that there is too little food, but it is still difficult to open up territory. Ladies and gentlemen, you have to think about how to spend the silver, and the appropriate benefits of spending it can turn more food into it. ”

Apocalypse said.

"Yes!"

Zhang Gui continued: "Spending money to increase domestic grain production is not to mention, real money will definitely have an effect, but it is only possible to increase grain production is limited. New high-yielding crops are not so easy to emerge, and it takes years from cultivation to trial promotion. ”

"Actually, the fastest thing is to find a foreigner for food, and this needs to break the previous concept that the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire does not need to talk about benefits with outsiders, but only talks about etiquette! Whether it is to encourage traders to go to sea to buy grain, or to worship martial arts and send troops to let foreign Yi donate grain, it is necessary to change the current perception of good neighborliness and courtesy! ”

"This is natural. It is incumbent upon the Ministry of Rites. The ban on the sea can no longer be banned, and ships or domestic merchant ships must be allowed to carry grain to sell. ”

Chen Zizhuang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, echoed at this time.
