Chapter 22: The Divine Decree of the Shock

Next, Zhu Xieyuan went out of class.

On the military and civil affairs strategy of Liaodong!

"In the future, the money and grain in Liaodong should be placed in the Tongzhou military camp, and the white pole soldiers of the Sichuan army should be reorganized and a special unit should be sent as a guard force. Why use the Sichuan Army? Because they are by far the most disciplined troops of this Ming Dynasty. ”

"They themselves are directly accountable to His Majesty!"

Han Huang, one of the three cabinets, came out of class at this time and retorted: "When you say that, don't you believe in the cabinet and the military department?" ”

Zhu Xieyuan: "During the time of Emperor Taichang, on July 22 and 24, 1 million taels of silver were drawn for Liaodong military salaries in two times, a total of 2 million, why was there only 1.4 million taels left in Liaodong, where did the 600,000 taels of money and grain go?"

Have you found out in the Cabinet of Ministers? Or do you think Your Majesty is young, can you come nonsense? ”

Liu Yijing: "In this matter, we are already asking the lower-level personnel of the relevant affairs, and some of the personnel who handle the money and food have been handed over to the third department for public trial!" ”

Zhu Youxiao: "It's been four months since July, have you made it clear?" How much money is recovered? Why can't the cases of Li Rubai and Li Ruzhen be decided now? Can your cabinet and military department still do things after they are in the end? And what about Yang Hao and Yang Yuan's father and son?

How many gifts did they give you? Do you think Jinyiwei and Dongchang have been having idle meals in the past few months? ”

Zhu Youxiao: "Declare! ”

Founder:

"Fengtian transported, the emperor said: Wang Dehua, the inner servant, colluded with the foreign ministers, revealed His Majesty's whereabouts, and was assassinated by Jurchen spies. Chin this! ”

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Yang Yuan and Yang Hao's uncle and nephew colluded with each other, not only the battle of Salhu lost soldiers and generals, but after Yang Hao was detained, he moved up and down, bribed courtiers, and wanted to get away with it, and now he ordered Yang Yuan to be detained, and Yang Hao was beheaded at noon three days later! Chin this! ”

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor system said: Cabinet auxiliary minister Han Huang colluded with Wang Dehua, His Majesty protected Shanxi businessman Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku and others colluded with border army generals in Zhangjiakou to sell Ming standard weapons and iron weapons to Liaodong Jurchen merchants, leaking the Ming military information, the crime is unforgivable!

Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku's house! Han Huang was demoted to a commoner and would never be hired! Drink this! ”

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Li Rubai, Li Ruzhen received the emperor's grace, did not think of serving the country, supported the army and self-respect, was corrupt and incompetent, and was beheaded ten days later! Chin this! ”

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor system said: Huang Jiashan, the secretary of the military department, is responsible for the failure to manage the soldiers, go to the post of the secretary, and enter the country as a teacher, Qin this!"

Zhu Youxiao waved his sleeves, stood up from his seat, and said angrily: "I really want to see if you have a sharp mouth, or my knife is fast!" Retreat! ”

Wang An: "Retreat!" ”

The sword-like decree has completely blinded the courtiers!

This..... This....

Didn't the 16-year-old emperor go on a tour of the mountains and rivers?

How could he be assassinated?

Today's dynasty will be thrilling!

There is also turmoil inside and outside the court.

Back in the Qianqing Palace, in his living room, Li Xiaofeng (Zhu Youxiao) said to Bayindong:

"I think the fires you asked me to light are too big, and I'm a little worried about Donglin's reaction!"

Bayindong: "Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku really caught it?" ”

Li Xiaofeng: "Li Ruolian, you can explain!" ”

Li Ruolian: "In fact, at the beginning of October, we have mobilized 300 Jinyi guards, 100 people from Dongchang, and 1,500 elite palace guards, and it took nearly 40 days to go to Zhangjiakou border to inspect the border in order to reward the soldiers and soldiers, and it took nearly 40 days to figure out the evidence that Shanxi businessmen colluded with the border army and sold grain and weapons intelligence.

At the beginning of November, Qin Liangyu's son Ma Xianglin was transferred, and Cao Wenzhao, a thousand households of the Liaobian Army, led 4,000 troops to Zhangbei secretly to arrest the criminals! Although they encountered resistance and hundreds of Ming officers and soldiers were killed and wounded, they finally fulfilled their mission! ”

Bayindong: "How many silver taels did you get copied?" ”

Li Ruolian: "8.5 million taels of silver, 50,000 taels of gold, 2 million taels of deed, 2.4 million worth of other goods, a total valuation of 13.8 million taels!" ”

Li Xiaofeng: "Oh, people are right, it's better to steal the money faster!" Some time ago, we used the power of the Imperial Village, the power of the court, and the power of some nobles.

In the capital, Jinmen, Tongzhou, Jizhou arranged 50 imperial villages, 100 imperial village shops, has spent 180 taels of silver, but only two months to earn 80,000 taels! ”

Bayindong: "To put it in the right theory, money only makes sense if it is spent in the right way, that is, to make money move, money can be turned into more money, digging a cellar at home and hiding money under the ground is the most stupid!" ”

Fang Zhenghua: "But the landlords in the countryside are old, they all think that burying the silver underground is the safest and safest!" ”

Bayindong: "That's why the Ming Dynasty is increasingly short of silver, originally the Spaniards came from South America by ship of silver to buy silk, porcelain, tea art of the Ming Dynasty, and then shipped it back to Europe to sell it to make a lot of money!" ”

But the money did not reach the Ming court, and the maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty colluded with the coastal gentry and magistrates.

The Ming Dynasty forbade the sea, they smuggled to make money, the Ming Dynasty opened the sea, they made money openly, and it was the Ming Imperial Court warehouse that suffered. ”

Li Xiaolian: "We also received information that the Nanzhili area, which originally belonged to the land of fish and rice, had a famine in July this year, which was reported by Yang Sichang, but it was suppressed in the Sixth Department!" ”

Fang Zhenghua: "Is it the place on both sides of the Huai River?" How is that possible? ”

Bayindong: "What's impossible, now Huai'an, Songjiang, Suzhou are very developed, weaving, silkworm, mulberry hemp, tea, porcelain, paper, ink, there are fewer and fewer people who purely farm and grow grain, and a large amount of grain is needed every year, do you know where it is transported?" Hunan, Hubei! ”

Li Xiaofeng: "Is it so strange that there is no food when there is money in Jiangnan?" ”

Bayindong: "This is because there is no good governing body, no professional decision-making body, and no clear supervisory body, and the economic development of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and both sides of the Huai River is very unbalanced!"

The big salt merchants and the sea merchants used their monopoly power to obtain huge amounts of wealth, but the distribution of this wealth was extremely uneven. ”

"According to the imprecise statistics, for now, the overall economic scale of the Ming Dynasty has reached one billion, nearly 100 million people, and the average GDP is 10 taels per capita, so life should be good!

But because of the unreasonable economic structure, the unfair distribution of wealth, and the low ability of the court to govern, the Ming Dynasty is like begging for food with a golden rice bowl! ”

Li Xiaofeng: "How to solve the problem of the rule of officials and the royal vassal kings?" ”

Bayindong: "It's easy to say, but it's harder to do!" ”

"What's the simple way?"

In a word, give the lowest people a fair and just way to rise! When we look at the history books, we will always see how the officials in the county town are weak and how they squeeze oil and water from the people?

But to be fair, their home is in their hometown, are they born to be such greedy people? This is impossible, no one is born to be greedy, especially since this is still their own hometown, and people who don't like their hometown are okay?

Of course it's no! ”

"But what's the problem? To put it simply, they have a certain culture, but they can't get into the show, and then they can only be officials, and the officials basically have no chance to be promoted to the level of the county magistrate or above, and they can't be promoted, so what else can they do except be greedy for money?

The environment is like this, no matter how much they do practical things, it is useless, they have no chance to govern a county and a government! In the same way, the various distant branches of the vassal kings who were raised as pigs could not be officials, and their duties as soldiers were restricted, and even their freedom to walk was restricted, so what should I do? What else can they do but be greedy for money, occupy a lot of land, and have children? ”

"Therefore, reforming the imperial examination system is the top priority! No matter what kind of talent, what kind of partial talent, we have to select it and put it in the right position! ”

"Even the Kongjiazhuang in Qufu, Shandong Province has a big problem! But to solve the problems I mentioned above, you must have the swords and guns to support our elite forces.

At the same time, we must also have a group of educated young people who voluntarily follow us, and we must have our own public opinion front, such as our newspapers, our radio stations, and the specific people at the bottom can really hear our own voices and our ideas! Then our power is invincible! ”
