"Liu Shilang, I heard about the famine in Huaibei, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

At the door of the hall, in a group of people, a member of the Ministry of Industry asked the official of the Ministry of Households, and the official of the Ministry of Household also sighed:

"Alas, eventful times......"

"Ten days ago, Yang Wenqiao, the secretary of the department, said that the residents of Huaibei had eaten up the bark of grass roots and trees, or even several cottages, and the women and children of the family, and ordered the bean and the rhombus stalks."

"The household department of Nanzhili allocated grain to let the people go south, and after crossing the river, the stove households were grabbing rice, and the hungry people were grabbing grain, and there were different places."

"In Zhenjiang, doumi soared to 100 yuan, and in Suzhou and Songjiang and other places, it soared to 130 or 40 and is still unfinished."

"The grain merchants in Jiangnan can't look forward to the grain in Sichuan, Huguang and Jiangxi, and the shops are out of business, and the small people are stockpiling grain, which makes the people of Jiangnan panic."

"If this continues, it is estimated that this year's grain will be postponed."

Liu Shilang of the household department shook his head and sighed as he spoke, and the official next to him also had a sad face.

This small group of people is obviously an official who is worried about the country and the people, and not far from them, there are three or four groups of officials who are chatting and laughing, and they don't seem to care about the hunger in Huaibei.

What is slightly embarrassing is that this small group of people is the Donglin Party that everyone shouted and beat in later generations, and the officials of the third and fourth regiments next to it are officials of Qi, Chu, Zhejiang, Qin and other parties.

Zhu Youzhen sat on a chair, eating pastries, drinking tea, and looking at the group of people.

After seeing such an atmosphere, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, no wonder when Yang Lian and others were killed, the people of the capital would cry one after another.

The current Donglin Party is still a white lotus, and it has not yet become a corrupt official in the future.

"Any party thinks about serving the country and the people in the early stage, and the words of the great man do not deceive me......"

Zhu Youzhen sighed in his heart, and at this time, a shrill sound sounded inside the halls.

"Long live my emperor......"

"All right, get up."

After Zhu Youzhen heard it, he hurriedly swallowed the pastry in his mouth, got up and patted the pastry powder on his hand, and walked towards the hall.

"What about the fifth brother of the emperor?"

In the hall, Zhu Youxiao glanced around and spoke suspiciously.

"The Five Highnesses are ......"

"Brother is here."

Fang Congzhe still wanted to answer Zhu Youxiao's question, but he didn't want to be interrupted, Zhu Youzhen squeezed in from the periphery of more than a dozen officials, and raised his hand to remind him of his position.

Some officials were still wondering who was so rude, but when they turned their heads and saw that it was Zhu Youzhen, they hurriedly pushed it away and made way for him.

Zhu Youzhen finally squeezed in, and immediately saw Zhu Youxiao in plain clothes, as well as Wang An and Wei Jinzhong who followed him.

When Zhu Youxiao saw Zhu Youzhen, a smile appeared on his face, and he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said:

"I'm going to go to the Wenhua Hall with the old man and all the ministers to deal with political affairs in a few moments, and I'll ask my brother to you for a few feasts."

Since the current location is the outer court, and there are ministers around, Zhu Youxiao did not say me, but used me as a self-title.

Seeing this, Zhu Youzhen nodded, and said: "Brother Huang is working on state affairs, please pay more attention to your body, don't be tired." ”

"Well, don't worry, brother." Zhu Youxiao smiled very happily, and then he didn't know what he remembered, and suddenly said to Zhang Wenda, the secretary of the military department:

"I heard that there is a shortage of soldiers in the Imperial Horse Guard, only less than 20,000 people, and it is not enough to come here to build the imperial tomb."

"I want to transfer Yulin Sanwei to Changping to repair the imperial mausoleum, I don't know what Zhang Shangshu thinks?"

Sorrowful......

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhu Youzhen only felt aggrieved in his heart.

Obviously, the twenty-six guards of Shangzhi are the emperor's pro-army, but now that Zhu Youxiao has transferred three of them, he still needs to tell the secretary of the military department, which really makes people feel aggrieved.

This is the true portrayal of the late Ming Dynasty, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty began with Zhu Youzhu of the Ming Dynasty, and slowly assigned his own 26 guards to civil officials.

Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao of Ming Wuzong firmly grasped the four guards and one battalion of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, otherwise it is estimated that Zhu Youxiao would have to be a bare-pole commander at the moment.

"Minister......" Zhang Wenda saw Zhu Youxiao speak, and hurriedly made a compilation to agree.

"No!" Suddenly, someone interrupted him, and the person who stood up was still so familiar.

The person who stood up was still Yang Lian in the right of the military department, and after he stood up, he said righteously:

"Since our dynasty became an ancestor, it has restricted the soldiers and horses in the hands of the vassal king."

"Originally, long live the transfer of the imperial horse supervisor and the soldiers and horses to the five highnesses to build the imperial tomb, which is already a violation of the ancestral system, and now we have to transfer the three guards of Yulin to the five highnesses."

"The transfer of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses was actually given to a ten-year-old yellow-mouthed child, don't you think it's too much?!"

"......" Yang Lian's words made the ministers in the hall speechless.

Liu Yixiu, who is also the cabinet deputy of the Donglin Party, stepped on Yang Lian's foot even more vaguely, wanting to remind him that the new emperor had just succeeded to the throne, so don't lose the face of the new emperor.

But he didn't want Yang Lian to be more energetic, so he directly continued to compose and said:

"I don't know if the minister has seen the minister handed over the recital, the nine sides owe nearly three million, and the old slave in the northeast of Liaoning knocked one after another, and in June tens of thousands of troops were dispatched, "the yellow cover reflects the sun, and the flag reflects the sky" directly approaching Shenyang. ”

"If it weren't for the meritorious defense of the city by the chief military officer He Shixian, Shenyang would have been captured by the rebels."

"Now that winter is approaching, the soldiers haven't even gotten last year's salary, don't you feel ashamed?!"

Yang Lian's words were full of indignation for the country and the people, but his tone was really problematic, and even Zhu Youzhen, a poverty alleviation cadre like his grandson who was counted down in later generations, frowned a little, not to mention Zhu Youxiao.

At this moment, the ministers are all looking at their noses and hearts, and Wei Jinzhong's eyes are even more eager to cut Yang Lian alive.

It was Zhu Youxiao, although he frowned slightly, but then said in a kind tone:

"Yang gave the music in the matter, I naturally have seen it."

"I not only watched it, but I also watched it with the fifth brother of the emperor."

"Regarding the matter of the lack of sound, the fifth brother of the emperor stated to me the establishment and soldiers and horses of various places on the nine sides, and sorted out the 26 guards and horses of Shangzhi and the three battalions of the North Zhili, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities."

"Finally, I will give advice, you can pay two taels per person, spend this year first, and strive for Caoyin in the coming year to make up for it."

"But you should also know that there are 729,000 people on the nine sides of my face, and even if one person gives two taels of silver, it will be one hundred and forty-five thousand eight thousand taels."

"At the beginning of the year, the emperor's grandfather sounded two million, and last month, the imperial examination sounded another two million taels, and now the military department and the military department want me to sound another 1,458,080,000 taels, and the internal money is indeed a little unbearable."

"At present, the tax and silver of the honeysuckle in the Huangzhuang, Huangdian and the Inner Carrier Treasury have not been transported to the capital, so I think it can be delayed for a month."

"A month later, the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the honeysuckle tax silver were transported to the capital, and another one hundred and forty-five thousand eight thousand taels rang out."
