And in the harem.

Hu Hui met his granddaughter, who wore a high bun and married a wife.

"Grandfather, Lu'er is already a mother, Your Majesty said that he is precocious, and he will definitely have a future in the future."

Hu Guiju only talked to Hu Hu about the child.

She gently stroked her lower abdomen, a happy smile on her face.

She is pregnant again: "Grandfather, raising a child knows the kindness of his parents, and only when he becomes a mother does he know how difficult it is to be an elder." ”

"Yes, the old man has a handful of bones, doesn't he have to work hard for the child?" Hu Hu said lightly.

Hu Guiju condensed slightly: "Grandfather, granddaughter doesn't mean this." ”

"It's considered that the old man is planning for the fifth son of the emperor, and I just hope that he can keep to himself in the future."

Hu Hu is beating his granddaughter, and he must not have the idea of taking the heir.

Don't rely on the power of your mother's family to arrogantly indulge the emperor's five sons to seize the heir, that is a catastrophe.

"Granddaughter understands."

Hu Guiju's task is to move his grandfather and serve the emperor.

Hu Hui knows that his granddaughter has been sensible and intelligent since she was a child, and she should know how to take it seriously: "You serve Your Majesty in the palace with peace of mind, your ancestor, father, and brother will all be busy for you. ”

As he spoke, the Emperor walked in.

The concubine's residence is also according to the palace of the Forbidden City in Beijing.

Hu Hu hurriedly stood up, knelt on the ground, and greeted the emperor.

"Old lady, please get up."

"I have just decreed that you will be exempted from the courtesy, and Concubine Guy Hu is your granddaughter."

"You are my humerus again, let you bow to her, I'm afraid she won't be able to rest day and night."

Zhu Qiyu helped Hu Hu up with his own hands: "Here today, you are my elder, and there is no monarch or minister." ”

Hu Guiju is the imperial concubine, even if it is her own grandfather, she has to give a big gift.

Dismissed by the emperor.

Hu Hu borrowed the pole to climb up: "Your Majesty, the old minister has two words of advice, please listen to Your Majesty." ”

Hu Guiju's face changed slightly, and he motioned to his grandfather not to say anything.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said calmly: "You say." ”

"Lao Chen doesn't say those nonsense, only two sentences to persuade you."

"If something doesn't happen, you go back to Luan immediately, and the old minister will clean up the mess for you."

"If things go well, please raise your noble hand and leave some vitality for Jiangnan!"

Hu Hu kowtowed.

"I listened, old lady, please get up." Zhu Qiyu said.

"The old minister has another word."

Hu Hu said: "If things go well, please change your majesty to the crown prince, stabilize the East Palace, and don't make waves again!" ”

Zhu Qiyu thought that Hu Hu would support his nephew to ascend the throne.

"Your Majesty has the eldest son and the second son of the emperor."

"It should be changed to the second son of the emperor as the crown prince, and then please make the original prince the prince."

"In this way, it is logical that the Ming Dynasty is stable, and there will be no more waves."

Hu Hu didn't want the emperor to make trouble anymore.

As soon as the emperor made trouble, the Ming Dynasty was suspected of overturning.

Daming needs to settle down, his days are not long, he must see Daming stabilize before he dies, so that he can go to see Emperor Taizong with peace of mind.

And this is the condition for Hu Hu to support the emperor.

"I listened."

"Your Majesty Xie forgives the ministers for trespassing!" Hu Hu kowtowed.

Zhu Qiyu sat at the round table and found that Hu Guiju's face was pale, and he gently patted her shoulder: "The relationship between me and the old lady is not comparable to others, and we will not lose trust in each other because of a few words." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty is relieved." Hu Guiju breathed a sigh of relief.

"The old lady also sits here."

Zhu Qiyu pointed to the stool next to him, but Hu Hu resolutely did not sit, but sat on the brocade pier, a head shorter than the emperor.

"Jiangnan affairs, what does the old lady think?"

Hu Hu sorted out his thoughts and said: "The old minister thinks that when the knife is quick to cut through the mess and drag it down, there will be chaos. ”

"I just met with the leader of the Japanese in prison."

"I want to recruit the Japanese invaders."

"But I'm worried, put this bandit leader back, the meat bun beats the dog, and there is no return."

"Moreover, it's hard to say whether the wolf has a heart for the Ming Dynasty."

Hu Hui said: "Your Majesty, the widow is a problem of ringworm scabies, it doesn't matter whether you surrender or not, the big trouble is here." ”

He pointed to the ground.

"I sent Song Wei to supervise the salt, and the situation will be opened up soon."

The next thing is to wait.

Zhu Qiyu's words changed: "I have let the silver be the supervisor and open a coin pressing bureau in Nanzhili, and the silver in Jiangnan will be pressed in Nanzhili." ”

Hu Hu rolled his eyes, are you preparing for the raid?

"I have come all the way and seen a prosperous place."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Old lady, what you said I saw, is it true or false?" ”

"Why do you ask?" Hu Hu was surprised.

"It's too prosperous, three years, to do this, if it is thirty years, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is unimaginable."

Zhu Qiyu was a little unconvinced.

"Your Majesty, prosperity is bound to decline, the Yongle Dynasty and the Xuande Dynasty are also so prosperous, what was Jingtai like in the first year?"

Hu Hui said bluntly: "Your Majesty, no matter what you see is true or false, as long as you stare at the population figures, you can determine whether it is really prosperous or false." ”

That's right, people have more children when they have money to feed, this is nature.

"Since the Hongwu Dynasty, the population of the people has been 50 million, and a hundred years have passed, and the people are still 50 million."

Zhu Qiyu never figured it out: "Old lady, what do you say is going on?" ”

Hu Hu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you know how the population is counted?" ”

It certainly wasn't a census.

"It's estimated by the salt sold."

Zhu Qiyu suddenly!

Those large populations don't buy official salt at all, they are eating private salt!

The population that eats private salt is equivalent to black households, and they are destroying the system of the Ming Dynasty, so the central officials are full of disgust for them and do not bother to count them.

It is equivalent to saying that people who do not pay taxes have no meaning of existence, and if they do not have physical annihilation, they will be extrajudicial and gracious, and you will still be counted?

"The old lady estimates, how many people will there be?"

There are 10 million black households and homeless people who have been found.

And how many hidden households, tenants, and runaways will there be?

"If you don't count the population of Korea, Hami, and Annam, and don't count the natives, Lao Chen estimates that it should be more than 7,500 people."

This number startled Zhu Qiyu.

Fifteen million more people do not appear in the official statistics.

"So the old minister is persuading you, think twice."

Hu Hu means that these 15 million people are all in Jiangnan!

"Looks like I should have brought more fire bombs."

Zhu Qiyu joked: "There should be more than 5 million people left in North Korea, about 2 million in Annan, and more than 100,000 in Hami." ”

"There are nearly three million natives from Liangguang who have left the mountains."

"There is also Yungui, there is no population out of the mountains."

"According to conservative estimates, it has exceeded 100 million."

This number made Zhu Qiyu shudder.

Daming can't afford it.

Hu Hu nodded: "So, the center has been keeping a blind eye, just not wanting to face reality." ”

"With such a large population, it's a huge drag on Daming."

"Therefore, since there are gentry who are willing to support these fugitives, as long as they don't make trouble, the court should not know."

"It's like a layer of window paper, and you've punctured it."

Hu Hui's tone was complaining.

Zhu Qiyu was not angry, he did pierce the window paper of the population.

A lot of people is a burden, but so are taxes.

These populations that were encroached upon by the gentry were a big bomb for Zhu Qiyu, which was equivalent to saying that he would be alive with a big bomb tomorrow, and he would be blown to pieces if he was not careful.

"Your Majesty, you still have to think about how to settle these black households when they are released."

"Don't talk about immigrants, these people have been enslaved for generations, just like flowers in a greenhouse, they will be destroyed by wind and rain when they come out."

"I can only stay in Jiangnan, and I have to find a way to let them live."

Hu Hu was full of helplessness.

That's right.

What people do is habitual.

Releasing slaves rashly will only make these slaves uncomfortable, and secretly run back to continue to be slaves, if the court forcibly intervenes, they will rebel and make both sides unpleasant.

"I've thought about it."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Zhejiang's move to Fujian and Guangdong, Anhui's move to Henan, and Jiangsu's move to Shandong. ”

"Your Majesty, regardless of whether the tenants who have been released are willing to go, there is no shortage of people in these provinces, and the ones who lack people are Jiaozhi and North Korea."

Now there is no shortage of people in Rehe and Ningxia.

"Let's take it one step at a time."

Zhu Qiyu was terrified of the 15 million people who might be released, and if these people were released and not properly resettled, Jiangnan would disappear in an instant.

This trip adds another layer of shadow.

Xu Chengzong reported what he knew and what he didn't know, no matter who it was.

Chen Wuyang carried Xu Chengzong in a sedan chair and visited from house to house.

The first is the mother's house of Xu Chengzong's wife, Wang.

The Wang family is not a military meritorious family, but a scholarly family.

Since the Battle of Nanjing, the Wang family has been closed, as if they had long expected today's outcome.

Chen Wuyang knocked on the door of the house.

The Wang family is in charge of the house, Xu Chengzong's eldest brother, Wang Weizhou.

Wang Weizhou is a lifter, and now he is studying behind closed doors, preparing for next year's entrance examination.

Chen Wuyang asked people to carry the sedan chair in.

The Wang family is very simple, the courtyard is not big, after the death of the old lady, the three brothers lived together, and the other branches were separated.

"My lord, what is this?" Wang Weizhou has long known that there will be this day.

Especially when the saint drove to Nanjing, he knew that something was wrong.

Chen Wuyang asked people to lift the curtain.

Xu Chengzong was tied up, sat in a sedan chair, looked at his eldest brother, and tears rushed out.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Still pretending? Don't Wang Juren know what the three tribes are? Chen Wuyang asked compassionately.

Wang Weizhou cried and said that his Wang family had not committed a crime.

"I like this kind of hard-mouthed person."

Chen Wuyang looked at Xu Chengzong: "Xu Chengzong, he said that he was not guilty, you come and tell the official the reason!" ”

The fear of being dominated by Chen Wuyang suddenly struck, and Xu Chengzong roared: "Wang Weizhou, what are you pretending to be poor!" ”

"Lord Chen, you dig his land!"

"Without 10 million taels of silver, I, Xu Chengzong, will die here!"

Chen Wuyang said: "It's cheap to kill you, and it kills you!" It's not an exaggeration for you to be torn apart! ”

"Come on, dig!"

Wang Weizhou panicked, and even said that his family did not commit a crime, so he couldn't dig indiscriminately.

Syllable!

Chen Wuyang slapped him in the face: "Your heart is empty, isn't it?" Your family has no official or position, only a few acres of fertile land, where did you get tens of millions of taels of silver? ”

"It's all wronged, how can I have any silver in my family!"

Wang Weizhou sat on the ground and cried endlessly: "There is no royal law, the son is bullied by Fanzi, is there still a royal law in this world?" ”

Chen Wuyang crossed his waist, and the eunuch rummaged around.

I dug for half an hour, but I couldn't find anything.

"I just said, I don't have any money at home!" Wang Weizhou splashed and rolled.

So what are you panicking about?

"These flowers and plants were planted by my father, and seeing these is like seeing my father, you destroyed them, how can I miss my father!"

Wang Weizhou's face was full of cunning, and his assets had already been transferred.

Syllable!

Chen Wuyang slapped him away, and then looked at Xu Chengzong fiercely.

Xu Chengzong was really panicked, his Wang family helped the Wei Mansion manage the salt and iron business, and he had made a lot of money over the years, how could he not have it?

"It must be that slut who betrayed the old man!" Xu Chengzong said that his daughter-in-law Wang.

"Lao Tzu sees you as a slut!"

Chen Wuyang took a few steps back, kicked the sedan chair directly, and kicked it over.

Xu Chengzong was tied to a sedan chair and fell to the ground on his back.

Like a king, I can't turn it over.

"Lao Tzu sees that you are talking about it, playing Lao Tzu!"

Chen Wuyang grabbed a handful of soil and stuffed it directly into Xu Chengzong's mouth.

Wang Weizhou was shocked and angry, this is a dignified prince, and he was bullied like this?

Chen Wuyang let go of Xu Chengzong, Xu Chengzong kept coughing, squirting out a mouthful of loess, his throat and eyes were itchy and painful, and he couldn't help coughing.

Cough a few times and cough up blood.

"Let the king laugh."

Chen Wuyang arched his hand: "By the way, who are you from the Wang family?" ”

"It's my sister." Wang Weizhou also got up from the ground.

"Your sister?"

Chen Wuyang laughed: "Come on, please come in!" ”

Wang Weizhou's face changed.

But when she saw a woman in prison clothes come in, and when she saw her brother, Mrs. Wang began to cry.

"Mrs. Wang, the official knows that you are still sick, and I don't want to bother you."

Chen Wuyang smiled: "But your husband is too stupid, and your brother is too shrewd, so that the official can't find evidence." ”

"The official doesn't like to be tortured, so I can only ask you to help the official."

Mrs. Wang was in prison, and she was indeed not tortured.

"Slut, you go back to your mother's house, regardless of the life or death of my Xu family!" Xu Chengzong, who was lying down, roared angrily, his whole face was bloodshot and flushed.

Chen Wuyang was afraid that he would die, so he asked people to drag him up.

"Little grandfather, it's different from your family, Mrs. Xu, you have to think about it." Chen Wuyang suddenly lowered his voice and said this.

Mrs. Wang trembled, if she couldn't satisfy Chen Wuyang, Chen Wuyang would deal with her son, Xu Li!

"His house! Full-time salt and iron business! ”

Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth: "Please, sir, arrest and interrogate!" ”

Suddenly, Wang Weizhou's eyes widened: "You dare to slander your mother's family!" You scum! Forgot your last name? ”

Syllable!

Mrs. Wang slapped him in the face: "When you followed the Xu family to borrow light, why didn't you know to retreat?" Now that the Xu family is in trouble, is it only the Xu family to bear it? Wang Weizhou, don't you have a little conscience? ”

"You! Your surname is Wang! Wang Weizhou roared.

"My son's surname is Xu, and my surname is Xu!"

Mrs. Wang suddenly knelt on the ground: "Please search the Wang family, you will definitely find everything you want!" ”

"I'm going to kill you!" Wang Weizhou rushed up to strangle his sister.

Boom!

Chen Wuyang kicked him in the chest: "You dare to sneak attack this official?" ”

"Someone!"

"Arrest everyone in the Wang family!"

"Where's his son!"

"Find it out, Lao Tzu will kill it himself!"

The voice is falling!

Chen Wuyang stepped on Wang Weizhou with one foot and slashed hard in his face, and blood gushed out.

However, there are only a few people in the Wang family who have been arrested.

There is no son of Wang Weizhou at all.

"How many people are in the Wang family?" Chen Wuyang looked at Mrs. Wang.

"Lord Hui, there are 177 descendants of the Wang family, a total of 796 branches, and nearly 10,000 tenants!"

Chen Wuyang looked at Wang Weizhou: "What about people? ”

"Hahahaha!"

Wang Weizhou's face was covered with blood, but he was still smiling: "It's gone, it's gone!" You'll never find it! ”

"Can you get out of Nanjing, can you get out of Daming?"

Chen Wuyang thought it was interesting, didn't the big fish take the bait: "It seems that in this Beijing, someone is protecting your Wang family, it's interesting." ”

Wang Weizhou wanted to bite his tongue and commit suicide.

Chen Wuyang stuffed a wooden stick into it: "Bit, bite hard, bite your teeth off!" Thinking about suicide? Think beautifully! ”

"You didn't leave, but you let your family go."

"It means that you are not leaving Daming, but waiting for the opportunity, waiting to bring your daughter-in-law and children back."

"So, if people don't leave Beijing, where will they be?"

"Let the official do the math!"

Chen Wuyang has the appearance of trying to tell a hexagram.

Suddenly a swing of the knife!

"Ahh Wang Weizhou screamed endlessly.

Chen Wuyang stabbed his cheek with a knife, and then picked it up, picking his cheek apart.

"Torture, see how long he can last."

Chen Wuyang can use a knife to tell fortunes.

This is a good breakthrough.

I'm afraid he won't run.

The fan of the capital governor brought a few torture tools, and as soon as he got on a few of them, Wang Weizhou couldn't go down as a hero: "I said! I, Wu Pingwei, commanded the Wang family! ”

"Who's home?" Xu Chengzong was taken aback.

His eldest sister married Wang Xi, the commander of Wu Pingwei.

"Wu Pingwei, command the envoy!"

His sister was not affected by this incident, and Wang Xi was still serving in the Nanjing Garrison.

Because Wang Xi was good at water warfare, he was protected by Li Zhen.

It's broken!

Implicating the Wuxun family is about to turn the sky upside down.

Chen Wuyang also felt that things were not good, and immediately sent someone into the palace to report to the emperor.

Zhu Qiyu is talking happily with Hu Hui.

"Wang Xi."

Zhu Qiyu narrowed his eyes: "I just investigated, and I found out the problem, send someone to arrest Wang Xi, and let Li Zhen go to the trial!" ”

Wang Xi is still on the normal value.

Suddenly, the emperor's order came, and when Wang Xi was arrested, the whole person was full of confusion and shouted that he was wronged.

What was even more wronged was Li Zhen, as soon as he came out of the palace, he was brought to hear the trial, and he was even more confused.

Chen Wuyang suddenly interrogated Wang Xi.

"How dare my family take in any Wang family!"

Wang Xi couldn't stop crying: "I married the daughter of the Duke of Wei, the Duke of Wei lost his power and humiliated the country, and took the title to blame, I was not implicated, it was already a grace of heaven, where would I dare to take in anyone!" ”

Chen Wuyang asked Wang Weizhou to confront him.

"You Wang Xi received 20,000 taels of silver from my family, do you still want to cheat?" Wang Weizhou's mouth was broken, and his speech was slurred.

"The money is the money that opened the gates!"

Wang Xi said that he had leaked his mouth.

Wang Weizhou looked at Chen Wuyang and smiled: "It was the city gate he opened for his family, and now my family is hiding in his village." ”

And Li Zhen, who was hearing the trial, strode over: "Jingshi's martial law order, don't you know?" For twenty thousand taels of silver, you opened the corner gate and let the people out of the city? ”

"My lord, the lower officials are also forced to do so!"

Syllable!

Li Zhen slapped himself hard and hit himself: "This guard is blind!" ”

"You Wang Xi was originally implicated, and you should be idle!"

"But Ben will remember that you have a talent for water warfare, and I will petition the center to guarantee you, and this is how you repay this guard?"

Wang Xi cried and said: "Lord Garrison, I can't help it, it's not for money, we are all related to the Duke of Wei, if I don't let him go, he will take my handle out, and I am also for self-protection!" ”

No wonder the emperor didn't trust the soldiers of the garrison mansion and asked Guo Deng to garrison the city with border troops.

As soon as I checked, I found out that I was tired of it.

"Why did his family flee?" Li Zhen asked.

"Jiang Zuomeng! His family has something to do with Jiang Zuomeng! "Wang Xi broke the news.

Jiang Zuomeng's affairs have also been found out halfway, but nothing can be found.

Chen Wuyang's gaze was certain: "Jiang Zuomeng? Is Jiang Zuomeng blessed by the Xu family? No wonder you can't find out! Drag Xu Chengzong in! ”

Soon, Xu Chengzong was brought in.

"My family doesn't know what Jiang Zuomeng is!"

"My family is the government of the state, how can there be any rebellion?"

"At most, at most, smuggle salt and iron, and go to the sea to make some money......"

Boom!

Chen Wuyang gave him a kick: "Or the most?" Your family is the Duke of the Ming Dynasty! There are only five Guogong in the Ming Dynasty, and there are two in your Xu family! ”

"Your family does not set an example for the subjects of the world!"

"You also smuggle salt and iron, open the sea to do business, is your family drilling money?"

"Okay, I'll put you in the eyes of money!"

"Bring me a copper plate!"

Chen Wuyang took a copper plate and wanted to put his head in it, but Xu Chengzong's head was too big, and the money eye was so small.

He could only grab his fingers, and stuff his little finger into the money eye.

"Ahhh Xu Chengzong screamed: "It's broken, it's broken!" ”

"Groove, why can't this waste hand be inserted!"

Chen Wuyang folded the pestle of his fingers, but he didn't stuff it in yet: "Don't fucking howl!" It doesn't hurt either, howl a fart! So what's going on with Jiang Zuomeng? ”

Fold your fingers, you try!

Xu Chengzong only said that he didn't know.

"Where's Wang Weizhou?"

Let's go.

Chen Wuyang threw the copper plate on the ground: "Xu Chengzong, you go, use this on his fingers, Lao Tzu will see if he can move!" ”

"I don't know, it's my brother Wang Weixian, if you catch him, you'll know!" Wang Weizhou's breath was dying.

"Set!"

Chen Wuyang didn't care about those, he was sentenced first.

Xu Chengzong didn't care about that, grabbed his finger and stuffed it into the money eye of the copper coin, and the little finger was immediately broken.

"It hurts, don't!" Wang Weixian struggled hard.

Xu Chengzong was angry, and after breaking one of the pestles, he continued to poke his ring finger inside.

The ring finger is harder than the little finger, and the pestle is continuous.

He simply broke it with all his might, and with a gack, he broke the fingers of his wife and brother.

"Xu Chengzong, you bastard!"

Wang Weixian screamed miserably.

Xu Chengzong still has to break.

Chen Wuyang stopped him: "Go on." ”

"I concentrate on studying, and I don't know what is going on outside, it's all done by my brother Wang Weixian." Wang Weizhou cried.

Chen Wuyang looked at Wang Xi: "You come." ”

Wang Xi was terrified when he looked at it.

"His family broke off the connection with the Jiangzuo League, and got a lot of ordnance from Beijing, and sold it to the people, to the natives, and to the Japanese invaders."

It turned out that the rebellious natives and the Japanese who disturbed the border were all using the ordnance produced by the Ming Dynasty to attack the Ming Dynasty.

It's a good deal.

"Didn't they sell to the Mongols, Jurchens, and Uliangha people in the north?" Chen Wuyang asked.

"Yes, it should be sold." Wang Xi replied.

"How much did you get a share?"

It's useless to pursue these now, let's focus on reality.

It is more important than anything else to find out the silver.

Wang Xi's face changed: "My family doesn't have much money, just a hundred thousand taels of silver, and I can't even afford to exchange silver coins." ”

Chen Wuyang nodded: "This official believes that what you said is true. ”

"Your family has been arrested anyway."

"When the time comes, the official will take someone to look for it, find one or two more, and the official will stuff that one or two into your family's stomach."

"Let's see how many people we can stuff!"

Chen Wuyang laughed.

Wang Xi's face changed, if everyone surnamed Wang in the world is counted, they all have to die!

"Spare your life!"

"Who else?" Chen Wuyang asked.

Wang Xiyi gritted his teeth: "My brother-in-law's family, the commander of Kuling Pass, Xu Xin!" ”

Li Zhen's face was even paler, and Xu Xin was also a figure he valued.

"Go on." Chen Wuyang wants to stab the entire Jiangnan sky, this is the emperor's order.

"Dongshan Wei Xiao Donglai, Jianping Wei Duan Changli, Yixing Wei Chen Zhao ......"

Wang Xi spat out six names in one breath.

They are all from the Nanjing Garrison.

Li Zhen's legs were weak, and he wanted to commit suicide here, he was not blind, but pure blindness!

The lords of Jiangnan nationality have no loyal ministers.

"What crime did they commit?" Chen Wuyang forgot to ask.

Wang Xi himself was stunned: "This ...... Didn't you tell me to say that? ”

Chen Wuyang's gaze shifted downward, should he be stabbed.

"They've all been involved in corruption! And lie about the military situation, kill the good and make meritorious contributions! ”

These sins do not lead unto death.

Chen Wuyang didn't like it: "Think again." ”

Wang Xi looked at Wang Weizhou and leaned on Jiang Zuomeng......

However, these people are at most his sphere of influence, and he can't say whether they have anything to do with Jiang Zuomeng or not.

"The lower officials suspect that they are all from the Jiang Zuo League!" In order to protect himself, Wang Xi gave up everything.

Chen Wuyang smiled with satisfaction: "Raided his house, and then checked the amount of silver, and if there was a private collection, he would be killed." ”

Li Zhen immediately entered the palace to plead guilty.

His garrison is really a big sieve.

He should have eliminated these people and replaced them with his own people, but he Li Zhen's official position was not enough, and his central power was too small, and once he replaced his personnel, he would be impeached, impeached for forming a party for personal gain, and planning a rebellion.

Zhu Qiyu could see at a glance that the few people Wang Xipan bit may not be much of a crime.

"Arrest!"

If you want to clear Jiangnan, you must first clear the army.

He had already issued an order to Chen You, transfer 3,000 cavalry, and go south to defend the center.

As for the soldiers of the garrison found out this time, let's transfer them to Jiaozhi.

On the first day of the emperor's arrival in Nanjing, the movement was astonishing.

The forces of all parties who are watching are beating drums in their hearts, where does the emperor have the confidence to reorganize the armament as soon as he comes, is he not afraid of mutiny in the army?

Zhu Qiyu is really not afraid.

He brought 120,000 troops, all of whom were elites of various armies, including Fan Guang, Mao Sheng, Guo Deng, Liu Pu, Li Jin, Li Zhen, Yang Xin, Ou Xin, Xiang Zhong, Liang Xuan, and so on.

With this lineup, who rebelled and looked?

"Sent a decree to Xiang Zhong and Liang Hao to patrol the mouth of the Yangtze River, clean up the Japanese near the mouth of the Yangtze River, and go south to recover Zhoushan Island."

"Then pass on the decree and establish the Southeast Naval Governor's Mansion in Shanghai Prefecture."

"The general's water division, all handed over to Xiang Zhong and Liang Xuan, and transferred Guo Mao to the water division governor's mansion."

The decree did not go through the cabinet, but was passed directly into the hands of the armies.

Xiang Zhong and Liang Xuan led their troops to sea.

The reason why Guo Mao was mentioned was that the emperor was protecting Guo Mao, and Guo Mao was likely to be involved in this turmoil.

"Emperor, do you have to spend money again?" Feng Xiao's flesh hurts.

"What's wrong? Hundreds of millions of taels of silver are lying down, what are you doing if you don't spend it? "Zhu Qiyu has always been generous.

The emperor is the knife that divides the cake, and if he divides it fairly and beautifully, he is the emperor of the ages.

"Emperor, there is no money in the treasury." Feng Xiao smiled bitterly.

"Makes me happy, huh?" Zhu Qiyu frowned.

"Emperor, how much silver have you scattered this year!"

"Water Control Division, the plan is five million taels a year, and this year you will scatter 20 million taels in one go!"

"Royal Comptoir, just made an industry, you will give all kinds of factories to people, and you will lose money here."

"In the school palaces around the country, as long as there is a minister to play, you will approve the money."

"Don't talk about the military expenses of the armies in the world, if you are in a good mood, you will form a large army, approve money and armaments, and there are wars all over the country, and it seems that the territory is expanding, but it is the center of the net loss...... The slave maid will calculate how much money you will smash into Gansu, Ningxia, Rehe, Liaoning, Jilin, North Korea, Jiaozhi, Guizhou, Guangxi, and Guangdong? ”

"Last year, we started to form sailors and build treasure ships, how much money did you give away!"

"There are also the Ordnance Bureau, the War Bureau, the Agriculture Bureau, and the Commerce Bureau...... It's all a place to burn money! ”

"Okay, okay, I got it."

Zhu Qiyu didn't want to listen to him: "How much money do you have in the house?" ”

Feng Xiao saw that the emperor was impatient, so he shut up: "Back to the emperor, there are still seventeen million taels of silver left." ”

"So little?"

Zhu Qiyu was taken aback, he spent 300 million taels of silver?

Don't forget, he issued silver coins to earn the difference, plus the difference, more than 300 million taels, and spent it in a year?

However, at the beginning of Jingtai's eighth year, if he had 1,700 taels, he would be able to jump up happily, but now he feels that 10,000 is too little.

"Emperor, save some flowers!"

"It's okay, I'm out of money, let the gentry give some." Zhu Qiyu is staggered, from the second half of Jingtai's ninth year to the present, he has really spent money crazy.

In one year, more than 1.7 billion trees were planted in the north, and the trees were not planted with saplings, but had to be carefully maintained.

The maintenance cost in the city is not high, just use the soldiers, but the maintenance cost in the suburbs and wasteland is high.

All this money is spent internally.

In addition, how many provinces were exempted from taxes last year, and nearly 30 million people benefited.

and raise the salaries and food of the various armies, and so on, and the silver will flow like no money, can it not be spent quickly?

"How much money can the household have?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly asked.

"The slave maid estimates that it must be more than the inner money, only thirty or forty million taels."

"That's not much, if you don't make money this year, you won't have to spend it next year."

Zhu Qiyu actually had a sense of urgency: "Send an edict to Chen Wuyang and make money for me." ”

Feng Xiao rolled his eyes: "Emperor, if you ask for money again this time, you can't spend it like this, and it will be gone in the future." ”

"Didn't Ye Sheng say it? The Bo Ni Country and the Manchurian State have silver mines, and Luzon has gold mines, as long as we send people to shoot them down, we can mine them. ”

Zhu Qiyu doesn't care, Jiangxi will ask for more than 200 million taels, Jiangnan can't let me down.

Chen Wuyang wantonly arrested military officials.

Check them one by one, check them one by one.

Wang Weizhou's family arrested a batch, but Wang Weixian disappeared with a son, and Chen Wuyang was being arrested.

Jingtai 10th year at the beginning of December.

Gao Zongben led the Siamese sailors, a mighty merchant ship, to Guangzhou.

What made the Xiyi businessmen laugh and cry was that Daming could rob it completely, but when he arrived in Guangzhou, he really paid for it.

Gao Zongben also invited Xiyi merchants to meet the emperor, but the Xiyi merchants did not dare to go ashore when they died.

After collecting the money, you have to run.

Gao Zongben told them that the Ming was willing to continue trading with them.

When he went ashore, he immediately passed the movement into the center.

All of these tantric performances were introduced to Nanjing.

The sixth day of December.

Zhu Qiyu received Gao Zongben's report, replied first, and then invited Hu Hui, Ye Sheng and others to discuss the matter.

"Seeds of 1,743 ships!"

"Because of an accident, 47 ships were burned, 11 ships were sunk, 179 ships were damp by seeds, and 17 ships were deceived by Xiyi merchants."

"It's a pity."

Zhu Qiyu said: "But these seeds should be enough for Daming to plant, right?" ”

With the tantric music comes, a batch of seeds is offered.

Zhu Qiyu looked at it, it was the same as the previous one, it was all corn seeds.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it will be planted on the wasteland in the south first."

Hu Hu was the first to speak: "The south can be harvested twice a year, which is conducive to harvesting, collect more seeds, and wait for next year to plant in the north." ”

Ye Sheng had a different opinion: "Now that Rehe, Gansu, and Ningxia are waiting to be fed, and there is a shortage of seeds, they should be transported to these places first and planted in the north first." ”

"Didn't Gao Zongben say it? Make an agreement with the Yi people, and they will sell us seeds next year. ”

Rehe, Gansu, and Ningxia are all supported by Cao Yun.

It's all about losing money and raising it.

"What the two of them said makes sense, in this way, 1,200 ships will be distributed to the three northern provinces for planting, and the rest will be distributed to the southern provinces, especially Guizhou."

In Guizhou, Tao Cheng has leveled Zhenyuan Mansion, and Xiang Wenyao has leveled Liping Mansion.

Now it's resting.

"Your Majesty."

Hu Hui said again: "Can Jiaozhi be divided into a boat?" ”

"Not for now."

Zhu Qiyu guarded against other Siam and other countries, but he didn't know that people didn't starve at all, and they didn't look down on corn on the cob.

"In Liangguang and Guizhou, there is a lot of open land in these places."

"Xu Huo said that corn hurts the land, so we should pay attention to rotation planting, plant corn for a few years, and plant wheat or beans for a year."

"By the way, Dong Ci gave me a secret recital, saying that the folk fat is not enough, and the sugar is not enough."

Like sugar beets and sugar cane, there is not enough land to grow them.

Beets can be planted and matured in five to six months, and they can be used to boil sugar.

But it's clear that cane sugar is the best and beets have a taste.

Sugar cane needs to ripen in seven months in the south.

There are too few places where sugarcane can be grown, and now Daming is mostly planted in Sichuan, because Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi are not the territory of Daming.

How long has Zhu Qiyu taken it back, of course, he has to give priority to growing food.

"This candy is a good thing."

"People like it, and all walks of life need it."

"I think we can drive the merchants to go to Qiongzhou Mansion to plant sugarcane, move a group of Ming people over, and then catch some natives to plant."

Zhu Qiyu said: "After all, there are few people in Qiongzhou Mansion, so they can't eat so many things, so it's just right to grow sugarcane." ”

"The old minister thinks it's okay."

Even the two Guangzhous have been developed, and it is not bad for Qiongzhou to be a mansion.

We're discussing.

A eunuch hurriedly ran in: "Emperor, Kuling Pass has rebelled!" ”

After the Ming Dynasty established the capital of Nanjing, he built a fortress in Nanzhili as the defense line of the Beijing Division.

However, that was the matter of the Hongwu Dynasty, and by now, the passes had long been abolished, and even a few passes had been demolished by order of the center.

"Kuling Pass, who is the commander?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Feng Xiao.

"Back to the emperor, it is Xu Xin, and it is Wang Xi's in-laws."

"That's interesting."

Zhu Qiyu laughed: "Transfer Yang Xin to quell the rebellion." ”

"There are really a few bloody men, the guards dare to rebel, Jiangnan is really demonic."

"Your Majesty, please be cautious." Hu Hui advised.

But Zhu Qiyu really didn't pay attention to it.

Yang Xin went, it was a matter of getting caught.

Kuling Pass is the junction of Nanzhili and Zhejiang, adjacent to Huzhou Mansion in Zhejiang.

Xu Xin rebelled, and Li Zhen entered the palace again to ask for guilt.

"Li Zhen, who else do you think will rebel?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

How do I know?

Li Zhen is really crazy, Nanzhili's guard has been rectified once, if it has not been rectified, it is estimated that all of them have rebelled.

He was afraid of what the emperor did.

I'm really afraid that the emperor will have an accident, the new monarch will ascend the throne, and an emperor like him will be loyal, I'm afraid that he will sit on the cold bench.

"I will transfer you to Jiaozhi, guard Jiaozhi, do you dare to go?"

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, whether the emperor dared to say it was his subordinates, whether he would mutiny.

"Your Majesty, if it was before, the minister thought that he would not mutiny, but now he can't say for sure." Li Zhen also trembled.

"Listen down to the wind and listen to the meaning of the army."

Zhu Qiyu sent Li Zhen away, and his face became fierce in an instant: "Under my nose, they dare to rebel?" ”

"Jin Zhong!"

"After the rebellion is quelled, all the guards will be cleared by me!"

Jin Zhong came out of nowhere, kneeling on the ground: "The slave obeys the order!" ”

Xu Xin of Kuling Pass rebelled, and Zhou Wengxin of Huanghua Pass of Ningguo Mansion also rebelled.

All of a sudden, there was a sense of smoke.

Fan Guangxing entered the palace at night.

"What do you think?" Zhu Qiyu asked Fan Guang.

"Your Majesty, these people are afraid, so they use the soldiers to mutiny to scare you." Fan Guang didn't take it to heart either.

After the soldiers of the various guards of Nanzhili were transferred, there were only 1,800 people, and the rebellion could not cause a storm.

Fan Guang is receiving the relevant pass of Nanzhili.

The Beijing camp will settle in these passes and defend Nanjing, this kind of small chaos will not be chaotic.

As a result, the battle report of Yang Xin's first battle came.

Yang Xin is defeated!

At the same time, the salt workers in Taizhou, Jiangsu Province rebelled and attacked the town, which was a great sight.

Chuzhou Dagunguan responded to the rebellion, Sizhou, and Xuyi Wei rebelled.

Iron miners at the iron works of Anqing Province rebelled.

Tongling miners rebelled.

The Jiangdu Canal went on strike, the river was congested, and the transportation to Beijing was forced to stop.

All of a sudden, smoke erupted.

The places visited, all over the world, could not be suppressed in a centralized manner.

Hu Hu immediately entered the palace and greeted the emperor: "Your Majesty, don't fall for the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" ”

"It's to transfer your guards, leave you with emptiness, and give them a chance!"

"Please send local troops to quell the rebellion."

This is just the beginning.

Appetizers don't count.

Zhu Qiyu's tone was contemptuous: "The gentry in Jiangnan are a bit fierce, and they don't want to be tamed by the emperor!" ”

"Hmph, I'm used to being the emperor of the soil, I don't know what my surname is in this world!"

"They want to divide my guards."

"That's what they want."

"Transfer Li Zhen to lead the Nanzhili garrison soldiers and go out to quell the rebellion!"

Zhu Qiyu actually wanted to transfer the soldiers of the Nanjing Garrison Mansion to Jiaozhi and not come back.

However, Li Zhen went to the test, and he was unwilling to leave his hometown.

He, the emperor, can't even mobilize his own soldiers.

Hu Hu breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor is attacking his own shield with his own spear, but these Jiangnan soldiers are afraid that they are useless.

I know who is standing behind these Jiangnan soldiers.

In fact, this is a test of the emperor's level.

The rebellion must be extinguished immediately while it is small.

If it is allowed to grow bigger, the local gentry will see the weak side of the emperor, and the emperor can only roll back to Beijing in disgrace.

However, if the guards are dispatched to fight and the rebellion can be quickly quelled, the emperor's side will be empty.

Hu Hu also wanted to see what hole cards the emperor had.

The emperor has not been flustered, which shows that he has the bottom in his heart, since he decided to tour the south, he will not come with some strength, there must be something that shocks the world, hidden.

Zhu Qiyu is also considering.

Li Zhen's army should not belong to him anymore.

Sending it out is just a pretense.

It was necessary to transfer to Jiaozhi so as not to stay in Nanjing and cause trouble for him.

What about the wolf soldiers in Ou Xin's hands, they can marry a Jiangnan woman, and they have been sinicized for three years, will they be infiltrated?

Without considering this, he would have at his disposal only 120,000 troops.

20,000 sailors were taken away by Xiang Zhong and Liang Xuan.

"Bring the map!"

Zhu Qiyu glanced at Hu Hu, if you want to see how I arrange my troops, then take a look.

"You haven't lost the big victory yet, have you?"

"Mobilize 2,000 people and settle in Dashengguan."

"Transfer another 2,000 people to defend Moling Pass."

"Tune Ouxin, lead an army of 5,000, guard Zhenjiang Mansion, no holy decree, do not move lightly, any mutiny, rebellion, immediately kill! You don't have to report it! ”

"Transferred to the crown, led an army of 5,000, held Jiangdu, and defended the northeast direction of the Beijing division for me."

"Tune He Yi, lead an army of 2,000, hold Liuhe, and guard the north gate of Nanjing."

"Tune He Qiaoxin, lead an army of 2,000, and hold Jurong; transferred Peng Shao, led an army of 2,000, and held Chunhua; Tune Qiu Jun, lead an army of 2,000, and hold Lishui. ”

"Adjust Ye Sheng, lead an army of 5,000, and defend the Taiping Mansion."

"Send an additional 3,000 people to Yang Xin, and after extinguishing the rebellion, hold Guangde Mansion."

"Diao Mao Sheng led an army of 5,000 to defend Ningguo's Mansion."

"Tune Liu Pu to lead an army of 3,000 to defend Suzhou Mansion."

"Transfer Li Jin to lead an army of 3,000 to defend Changzhou Mansion."

"Adjust Wang Cheng to the east and hold the state of Wuwei."

"Transferred to the east of Li, guarding Xuyi and Sizhou."

"Fan Guang is responsible for guarding Nanjing City and transferring Guo Deng to the palace to escort him."

"The local armies are locked up in the barracks, the ordnance is recovered, the food is provided, and they are not allowed to leave the barracks for a single step, and they will be beheaded if they violate the order!"

Zhu Qiyu made a move, transferred 50,000 people, and 50,000 people guarded the city.

Hu Hu is pondering, is this operation an attack on defense?

Or is there another hole card?

Zhu Qiyu smiled sneeringly: "Old lady, old lady, I really can't hide anything from you, I have already issued an order to Chen You, Wang Yue and Fang Ying, and their soldiers are on the way." ”

"But far water can't quench your thirst." Hu Hu looked at the emperor.

"Hahaha, Gao Zongben is about to enter Beijing, right?"
