Chapter 201: Post-Disaster Reconstruction

Last time, I talked about the world pattern of "the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty", especially after Emperor Chongzhen's self-determination, which led to the exhaustion of the luck of the Ming Dynasty, and the "Southern Ming" missed the turnaround due to infighting.

"Your Majesty! Emperor! The emperor ......" the ragged crowd still knelt in the mud, facing the "fake" Emperor Chongzhen, and loudly stated their suggestions.

"Haha, all of you Aiqing are loyal to the country, it's really hard, get up! I have my own decision! Haha...... "This" fake emperor Zhu Youzhen has received the psychological induction of his "deity", because his brother Zhu Youxiao has just received a reply from his master urging the carpenter, telling him to cultivate hard and not to worry about money.

"Huh? This...... Obey the Holy Commandment! Everyone held on for a while, and then they stood up straight and prepared to wait for the order of Emperor Lao Tzu.

"I have made up my mind to rebuild the city of Beijing, and rebuild the palaces and palaces and the 'six departments' that were destroyed in the 'natural disaster'!" Emperor Chongzhen said loudly: "I really want to give the corresponding compensation to the officials of the imperial court and their families who died unexpectedly, and open the 'Eight Shares of Scholars' in advance this autumn, and we must personally check it!" ”

"Huh? ......After all, it will cost countless sums of money to rebuild the city of Beijing, not to mention that the imperial examination will be opened in advance, and there must be enough pavilions to accommodate students from all over the country who go to Beijing to take the examination.

"Haha, you Aiqing don't have to make a fuss, just do your part, money is not a problem!" Zhu Youzhen laughed loudly: "As for the vacant person in charge of the key positions of the six ministries, I will let the 'Imperial History' strictly review it in accordance with the "Da Ming Law" and promote them to Beijing to take up their posts, and I do not rule out the selection of you and others. ”

"Uh...... Haha, since that's the case, it's so good to dare to love! "Thank you, Emperor Longen! Long live the Emperor! "The ministers must bow down and die!" After everyone got the promise of Emperor Chongzhen, they bowed one after another, and then reluctantly got up to give a salute and retired, and returned to the mansion to take care of the ruins.

"Workers, criminals, soldiers, rituals, households, officials, can all the books still be built?" When Emperor Chongzhen saw that everyone was dispersed, he asked the eunuch Wang Gonggong beside him.

"Uh...... The old slave returned to the emperor's words. The prince hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said: "All the Shangshu were either stoned to death on the spot by high-altitude throwing objects, or they were all seriously injured to varying degrees, and even more so they were frightened by the thunder and fire at the scene of the natural disaster and went insane, and many of them are too old to continue ......."

"Alright, don't say any more, I already know it." Since Emperor Chongzhen registered, he found that the court officialdom had slowly fallen into the control of the "Donglin Party", and began to make himself feel that there was an invisible "net" everywhere that was shackling his "imperial power", and he had to find a way to break the net!

Fortunately, this "natural disaster" came too timely, except for the second-grade officials and feudal officials from the places where they were dispatched, those who were officials in the court were almost given a "one-pot end". However, if the Nanjing leadership group is directly transferred to Beijing to fill the power vacuum, it seems simple and effective, but in fact it will not work!

Because Nanjing is the "ancient capital of the Six Dynasties" and the cultural atmosphere of the south of the Yangtze River is strong, there is always a pretentious "scholar complex" among the literati, not to mention that the southern bureaucratic system has long been completely infiltrated by the "Donglin Party", otherwise there would not be anyone who dares to openly fight with the minions of the "Eunuch Party" in the streets and alleys!

As soon as the "fake" Emperor Chongzhen thought of this, he suddenly sensed what the "deity" who was hundreds of miles away was thinking, and it turned out that his "deity" decided to establish his own "Xiuzhen family" on the basis of his firm control of the "secret agencies" of the East and West No. 2 Factories, as a "dark force" to control the entire country.

From then on, Emperor Chongzhen was able to quickly offset the dominance of the "Donglin Party" through the "Eight Shares of Scholars", "Secret Service" and "Xiuzhen Family", and could put an end to the emergence of "prime ministers" or "eunuchs" who leaned towards the government and the opposition, after all, history has repeatedly proved that once these two forces get out of control, it will cause chaos in power.

"You go to the 'Zhongshu Province' to pass on my message, I want to reappoint the important positions of Beijing officials in all ministries, and select people with both ability and political integrity from the 'Two Capitals and Thirteen Provinces' to serve! The Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Rites were instructed to organize manpower, material resources, and financial resources to step up the rebuilding of Beijing City! Order the 'Door Province' to check the edict to ensure that it is issued correctly! ”

"The old slave obeys! Please rest assured! After all, the edict of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not written by the emperor himself, but by the "cabinet scholar" on his behalf, but to accurately reflect the emperor's will.

In this way, with sufficient sources of funds, the post-disaster reconstruction of the capital of the Ming Dynasty could be carried out smoothly. Although the city of Beijing was almost completely destroyed by the "Apocalypse Explosion", it was caused by the fighting between the "cultivators", so it also made the carpenter know that he could not stay out of the matter, so he agreed to the request of the prospective son-in-law.

"Apprentice, have you two discussed it? How much money does it cost to rebuild the capital after the disaster? The carpenter smiled and said with a smile.

"Uh...... This one...... If you just restore the large and small palaces, government offices, street post houses, and private houses in the city, it is estimated that there are about 10 million taels of silver! As soon as Zhu Youxiao's voice fell, his heart suddenly became worried, but he gritted his teeth and continued: "But if you add the pension and grain and grass reserves......

"Say! How much? Hurry up and give a number! The carpenter's face sank and said, "Lao Tzu is not bad for money!" The difference is patience! Don't grind! ”

"Uh...... Master, please stop being angry, in fact, ...... "Zhu Youzheng wanted to report the number, but suddenly saw his younger brother and sister-in-law dodging their eyes, afraid that the report would be less than enough expenses, so he hurriedly reported more, anyway, he returned more and made up less, so he responded with a heart: "It takes a total of 34.56 million taels of silver to barely cope with it......"

"Hmph, just this little money is enough for you to grind and chirp? What a lack of ambition! After hearing this, the carpenter couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Lao Tzu will give you 50 million taels of silver!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the carpenter began to pinch the trick and chant the mantra, and then opened his mouth and spit out a cloud of dark ghostly energy, such as a spiritual wind, it will grow into a "time and space tunnel" with a height of a few feet, the yin wind howls inside, and the ghost cries wolf, which suddenly causes the temperature in this "stone flower cave" to plummet.

Before Zhu Youzhen and his nine concubines could adapt to the cold current brought out by the ghost qi of the forest, they saw that a tall "Ah Piao" had crawled out of the "time and space passage", and it was actually a hideous-looking Huangquan ghost, with red clothes and white skirts, a cape, a green face and fangs, and a scarlet long tongue swaying.

"Ahh "What the hell? It's terrifying! Scared the baby to death! "Hellβ€”don't come here!" The baby is timid, not scared! ”

As soon as the Huangquan ghost came out of the hole, he turned his face to look at Zhu Youzhen and his concubines, waved his pair of sharp ghost claws like steel and iron bones, let out a chatter and laugh, turned around, and stepped into the void to the carpenter and knelt down in the air and said: "The little maid has seen the master, I don't know what the master called the little maid?" ”

"Haha, you look pretty scary, don't you? It seems that being a ghost is more rewarding than being a demon! The carpenter replied to the question, but said with a smile: "Call out all the gold, silver, treasures, antiques, jade, and other things that have changed their value on you, and you won't need them anyway." ”

"Chatter, obey the master's orders!" I saw that the Huangquan Powerful Ghost opened his mouth and spit out a pitch-black ink and a "storage bracelet", which seemed to be the 200 "Zhuji True Cultivators" who were killed by her in the big melee before. The red-clothed female ghost floated forward and respectfully presented the bracelet to her master.

"Huh? How is it only three million taels of gold? It's too little silver, isn't it? The carpenter dragged the black "storage bracelet" in his hand, and directly penetrated his spiritual power, and immediately found that the cash in it was only 3.14 million taels of gold and 130,000 taels of silver, but there were a lot of exquisite jade.

As soon as the words fell, the carpenter turned his gaze to his eldest three daughters and apprentice Zhu Youxiao, and couldn't help laughing: "You? ”

"Giggles/hehe, Daddy/Master is really worried about our 'private money', it seems that it is not possible to take it out?" Three women and one man looked at each other.

As soon as the words fell, the four of them had no choice but to transfer the gold and silver treasures and some antique jade artifacts in their respective storage vessels to a completely empty storage bag, and after loading them, they stepped forward step by step to present them to the carpenter. At this time, after urging the carpenter to infiltrate the spiritual power one by one, he couldn't help laughing.

"Huh? I don't know why you're laughing at Daddy/Master/National Teacher? When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but be very curious, feeling that this "guy" was becoming more and more unpredictable.

"What I'm laughing at is, why don't these 'Jindan real people' like money?" The carpenter was suddenly embarrassed and said, "The total number of gold and silver treasures of the thirty 'Jindan Zhenren' is less than 100,000 taels of gold? Is silver even more useful? There are a lot of antiques and jade, but it makes me wonder! ”
