Chapter 193: Rising to the Challenge
Therefore, Huang Xiao is more confident to persuade Zhu Youxiao to further reform the clan!
For example, in the Shaanxi region (under the jurisdiction of the Shaanxi Political Envoy in the Ming Dynasty, present-day Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and other places), there are Qin kings, Han kings, Su kings, Qing kings and other clan aristocratic forces!
"Qinchuan gives more land, and the military and civilians are tenants for business, and they provide rent and taxes!" , Qin Wang Zhuangtian "has a rent and a endowment, cover the field, non-people have, the people are rented, and the people can't do it with the levy and pawn, and the children are better than the children." This is a quote from the cantata.
The vassal king occupies a large amount of land, and the army and the people are unbearable to exploit!
Moreover, Shaanxi is located on three sides, and it has to be paid for the soldiers of the three towns outside, and the four kings are taxed internally, plus one has always been a poor place, and talented officials do not go at all, and most of them are served as chief officials by some people who buy officials, and the hardships of the people can be imagined!
Then there are the droughts for many years, which have exacerbated the suffering of the people!
At this time, because the imperial court needed to supply Liaodong with huge military expenses, it could no longer control the land of Shaanxi, and the local border army had not been paid for several years, and the money and food for disaster relief could not reach the mouths of the people.
Two years later, in the first year of Chongzhen (1627), there was a major drought in Xi'an Mansion in Shaanxi, Yan'an Mansion in the south and Pingyang Mansion in Shanxi.
Sweep the world ever since! No more recoverable!
For these low-level people, Huang Xiaobao has deep sympathy!
He doesn't want to lead the strong army he has trained in his future career to fight against these people who are struggling to survive!
Even if he could win the battle, he felt that his heart would not find peace and joy!
After coming to Daming for more than three months, he has been living in Beijing, and he has not yet had that sense of urgency, false prosperity, so that he almost has to forget those poor people who are waiting to be fed in natural and man-made disasters!
He always felt that time was still long, and Daming still had nineteen years to live!
But in the past few days, he felt that he couldn't wait like this! Gotta make a difference!
In terms of governance, he is not without consideration, but as Wei Zhongxian said, the whole world is as black as a crow, and after it is swept away, it will be a succession! And the counterattack in this area will be very fierce!
Even if he has won a big victory in Beijing! It's going to get even worse! When the time comes, there will be chaos!
Huang Xiao rubbed his forehead, which had a headache.
It's so fucking hard!
Huang Xiao scolded in a low voice, and then cheered up.
No matter how difficult the road ahead is! I must rise to the occasion!
Shaanxi must send someone over!
Mobilize the people there! Show them a way out!
I have to hold down Lao Zhang and Lao Li in advance!
This will involve the four major vassal kings, after all, the biggest vampires there are these vassal kings, and this matter must be fully supported by Zhu Youxiao, otherwise even if it succeeds in the end, it will inevitably make Zhu Youxiao unhappy!
The vassal king has always been Huang Xiao's cautious and cautious, he always inadvertently instilled this knowledge in Zhu Youxiao in his daily life, and Zhu Youxiao also had a great consciousness, but when it was finally implemented, I really didn't know if Zhu Youxiao could withstand it!
In the evening, this has to be brought up.
No matter what, we must let Zhu Youxiao fully support!
If......
Huang Xiao shook his head, he was still very confident in Zhu Youxiao!
There is also Zhu Youzhen's performance today, which makes Huang Xiao vigilant! This is a destabilizing factor that must be nipped in the bud sooner rather than later......
There is also the matter of Jiannu, and even the noble Chengguo Gong involved in the defeat of Liuhe......
Planning ...... for the development of Dahuangzhuang and Tianjin Wei
Also, I didn't have time to deal with the attack, and I always felt that something was wrong......
Now combined with Wei Zhongxian's analysis, the Hakka slut must have played an important role in it!
Alas! But there are so many things, and they don't give people a chance to kick their breath!
Although I, Huang Xiao, am a modern person, I am still an ordinary man after all, don't look at others who hold it to the sky, in fact, Huang Xiao still knows it in his heart.
Thinking of this, Huang Xiao was devastated, those who crossed the predecessors, why didn't there be so many difficulties, people want to build aircraft carriers!
The general trend of the world is in his control, as if he opened the eye of God, never overturned, where is he walking on thin ice, and almost hanging in the Ming Dynasty, who is this to reason?
The more Huang Xiao thought about it, the whole afternoon, he stopped writing, until Zhu Youxiao sent someone to invite him to dinner, he ended this hour-long thinking!
"Haha! Virtuous brother! You and Lao Wei did a beautiful job this afternoon, why didn't you call me out to watch one or two of such a grand event? ”
Zhu Youxiao laughed when he saw Huang Xiao and said, Zhang Yan was also smiling beside him.
Huang Xiao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Big brother has slept and is much better." ”
Zhu Youxiao smiled and nodded.
Huang Xiaodao: "This is not a grand event, it is really a last resort, I would rather wait a little longer, but the eldest brother is going to make a windfall in the past few days, let alone this number!" ”
Huang Xiao raised two fingers.
"Two million?"
Huang Xiao snorted, "Twenty million!" ”
"Twenty million?"
Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yan were both taken aback.
"At present, there is evidence of more than 100 officials, and on average, one person handed over more than 100,000 taels, isn't this 20 million? If you hit the rabbit with grass again, I'm afraid you won't be able to beat it for 20 million! Huang Xiao sneered.
Zhu Youxiao's face also turned cold, the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty were corrupt, and if it broke out at one time, it would definitely become a scandal for the ages, and as the Son of Heaven, he naturally had no good reputation!
"What a good courtier of mine! One by one, the two sleeves are breezy, what a great irony! I can't wait to kill them all! I can now understand why the great grandfather of the year would peel the skin and fill the grass of the corrupt officials and show them to the public! ”
Huang Xiao smiled, comforted a few words, and said, "Let's eat first, don't let this affect your mood, there will always be a way." ”
Zhu Youxiao nodded with a wry smile and asked someone to pass the food to the meal.
Huang Xiao and Zhu Youxiao had a lot of things on their minds, and they didn't eat much, so they put down the dishes and chopsticks, and Zhang Yan only ate a small bowl.
Zhu Youxiao asked with concern: "Baozhu, what's wrong, don't you have an appetite?" ”
Zhang Yan nodded lazily and said: "It may be that the weather is hot, thank you Your Majesty for your concern, listen to Huang Xiao and Your Majesty's high-minded conversation here, the concubine's spirit is much better, Your Majesty doesn't need to pay attention to the concubine, you can get down to business." ”
Zhu Youxiao said to Dongyue, who was waiting next to him: "Go back to the imperial dining room to get some appetizing supper for the queen, during this time, the queen can clear a lot and serve carefully." ”
Winter Moon answered and retreated.
Zhang Yan and Zhu Youxiao had a cold war because of the Hakka matter, Huang Xiao heard Yueniang say about this matter, but this is a matter between Zhu Youxiao and his wife, and he is not easy to interfere in, but in this matter, Huang Xiao is on Zhang Yan's side.
Because of who the Hakka is, Huang Xiao and Zhang Yan are clear, while Zhu Youxiao is partial to listening and dark, and stubbornly can only see the beautiful side of the Hakka!
But, this woman from the Hakka family must be solved, and she can't put a huge bomb next to her!
Assassinate? It's a hundred!
Causing an accident?
Expose to Zhu Youxiao?
Gather evidence and bring it to justice in an open and honest manner?
Huang Xiao wants to have a brain pain!
Damn it! That's it!
Huang Xiao's eyes are murderous!
