Yuan Chonghuan in history, when his home was raided, he was definitely an alternative!

Because, in this Ming officialdom, being greedy for tens of thousands of taels of silver really can't be called "greed"!

Just like Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant in the Wanli period, he only copied out more than 100,000 taels of silver when he copied his house, which is really called honesty!

For another example, Wu Xiang, who was executed by Ling Chi not long ago, paid a ransom of 550,000 taels without blinking his eyes!

How much silver he hid, I'm afraid Wei Zhongxian couldn't find out!

Therefore, before Zhu Youzhen, it is definitely a wise choice to let Jinyiwei pretend to be a robber and take the first step to "raid the house"!

Chen Wangting has been in Fujian for more than a year, and he has been greedy for 80,000 taels of silver, which is really not a problem!

This guy is worth 80,000 taels!

Even if he wasn't greedy, he would give him this money!

Then again, he can be corrupted by silver, and it will be good for him!

If his bowels were still as straight as they used to be, it wouldn't be easy!

"Fujian's silver, you have always been in charge, where is the account book?"

"Factory man, I only took 81,200 taels!

In addition to the daily expenses of the Fujian Ordnance Bureau, the remaining 14.95 million taels are all buried on the small island east of Pinghai!

This is the ledger, please take a look! ”

Wang Li took the account book and did not open it, but said affirmatively: "No! It should be fifteen,200,000 taels!

There are still 250,000 taels, where is it? ”

"Factory father, my subordinates really didn't take it!"

Chen Wangting was a little anxious, grabbed the account book, flipped through the pages one by one, and shook his head: "Factory father, I only took more than 80,000 taels!"

I really don't know about the other 250,000 taels! ”

"During the time I went to Shanxi, in addition to staring at Yuan Chonghuan, you thought slowly to me!

I'm sure it's definitely 250,000 taels less! ”

Chen Wangting's face was innocent, but Wang Li guessed the reason:

These 250,000 taels are the ransom of the title deed of Liu Ruozai, the "waiter" of the Hanlin Academy, and it is also the last ransom.

Ten days ago, this ransom was shipped from Huaining County in Nanzhili!

When Chen Wangting left Fujian, it was impossible for this silver to arrive!

Therefore, Chen Wangting did not go to the account!

Wang Li also knew that the silver "embezzled" by Chen Wangting was quietly transported to Chenjiagou by him for disaster relief!

In this regard, Wang Li did not want to say anything.

Anyway, he is already desperate for the imperial court and just wants to do something for his hometown!

Then let him go!

After all, Chen Wangting knew that he was not a eunuch!

He never broke himself!

He didn't even eat his own money!

Where to find such a brother?

Alas!

Henan has suffered another disaster!

The Xiaoice River period is really terrifying!

Thinking of this, Wang Li's back was cold!

He knew that the four large-scale wars in history were all closely related to the Xiaoice River period, and not all of them were caused by the failure of the bureaucracy!

From the end of the Yin Shang period to the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was the first Xiaoice River period;

The end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, and the Western Jin Dynasty were the second Xiaoice period;

The late Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties, and the early Northern Song Dynasty were the third Xiaoice River period;

At this time, the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty was the fourth Xiaoice River period!

Every Xiaoice period will cause a sharp drop in temperature, continuous famines, and a significant reduction in grain production!

If you don't have enough food to eat, you don't want to starve to death, which will naturally lead to chaos and even war!

Its essence is nothing more than the redistribution of food!

Until the end of the Xiaoice period, or when the food produced can feed a corresponding number of people, the war will naturally stop.

According to the statistics of later historians, in the first three Xiaoice periods, the population dropped by almost four-fifths!

Strangely, according to relevant statistics, the Han population at the end of the Ming Dynasty was about 120 million;

By the seventeenth year of Shunzhi in the early Qing Dynasty, the population of the Han nationality was about 135 million;

The population has not plummeted!

Therefore, this Xiaoice period should not be particularly serious!

Moreover, this Ming Dynasty is not the Ming Dynasty in history!

A lot of places are different!

In any case, it is enough to make enough money, raise a private soldier, make sure that you are not starved to death during the Xiaoice River period, and have a group of beautiful women to help warm the bed!

I can get rid of traitors like Wu Sangui, Qian Qianyi, and Zhu Guobi, it's already good!

As for loyalty and patriotism, national righteousness, anti-Qing and restoration of the Ming Dynasty or something, I really don't have that ability!

Such a feat against the sky, let those who have the ability to do it!

I'll flash first!

……

"Changgong, because of the truncation of the upstream, the Lugou River has been cut off and cannot take the waterway;

This time we go to Shanxi, should we go to Juyong Pass or Bauhinia Pass? ”

"No hurry!" Wang Li shook his head, his eyes were like torches: "Before leaving, I have to borrow someone from Long Live Lord!" ”

"Borrowing? Borrow whom? ”

Song Zhe still wanted to ask in detail, but Wang Li hastily tidied up his robe and went to Xihua Gate.

Wang Li went to "borrow people" because he wanted to form his own private army!

Guan Ning's iron cavalry is strong, he sees it all!

In his opinion, a pawn is a pile of garbage!

It's a lot of money, but it's not beaten!

If you want to build, build cavalry and iron cavalry!

With a three-eyed fire gun in one hand and a machete in the other, people block and kill, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha!

Of course, to build cavalry, it is necessary to have generals who are proficient in cavalry tactics!

Otherwise, it's just a plate of loose sand!

Last year, when he was in Xiping Fort, Zu Dashou wanted to leave Cao Wenzhao to assist Wang Li;

At that time, Wang Li had never heard of Cao Wenzhao's name, and he had his own Xiao Jiujiu, and insisted on leaving Wu Sangui;

After several battles outside the city of Jingshi, Wang Li had to re-examine Cao Wenzhao.

In his opinion, Cao Wenzhao, Wu Xiang and a group of clan servants surnamed "Zu" were all excellent generals who commanded the cavalry.

It's just that Wu Xiang was too slippery, and he was executed by Ling Chi and couldn't borrow it;

And Zu Dashou, I can't wait to chop Wang Li!

His brother-in-law Wu Xiang and nephew Wu Sangui died of "collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country", but they have a great relationship with the West Factory!

The people of the ancestral family were almost "punished by the Nine Clans" because of Wu Xiang, and it is strange that they don't hate Wang Licai to death!

Therefore, the cavalry generals that Wang Li can still "borrow" are only Cao Wenzhao.

Merely......

Yesterday's celebration banquet was still a joy and happiness.

How did today's hall become a vegetable market again?

Zhu Youzhen's face was pale, and he sat on the dragon chair without saying a word!

The courtiers below are crying poor one by one!

Wei Zhongxian hid in an inconspicuous corner and shook his head slightly at Wang Li!

Silver!

It's silver again!

It turned out that after Yang He successfully appeased the rebellious people, he took the opportunity to write to the court and ask for "severance" fees!

I have to say, Yang He is really smart!

When he set out to take office, he couldn't get money and food, but with a sharp mouth, he first appeased the rebellious people, and then asked for "severance" pay!

At this time, Zhu Youzhen had a feeling of being fooled!

The chaotic people were recruited by Yang He in a few words!

But, how does the imperial court deal with the aftermath? How to resettle these rioters?

When the army is raised?

I'll go!

Who can afford more than a million rioters?

Sent home to farm? That's even more!

Shaanxi has been in drought for two consecutive years!

If there can be a harvest in farming, if farming can survive, who will rebel with their heads?

However, if severance pay is not paid, the rebels are likely to rebel again!

If you want to give, where do you go to get money?

After arguing for a long time, Zhu Youzhen put his heart on the side:

"I gave out 100,000 taels! The household department gave 50,000 taels! Zhongqing will make up another 50,000 taels, and settle the rebellious people first! ”

The sound fell, and the hall was crying again.

Every minister is crying poor!

Wang Li and Wei Zhongxian naturally knew that these guys were all very rich!

Almost everyone has been blackmailed by the "Houjin Messenger"!

Almost everyone, paid the ransom of the title deed!

From tens of thousands of taels to hundreds of thousands of taels, I didn't blink my eyes!

However, everyone was blackmailed, and they didn't say anything!

With Wu Xiang's experience, who would dare to mention it?

Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, punishing the nine clans, is not a joke!

After waiting for a long time, the palace was still crying poor, and no one expressed their position!

Helpless, sigh!

Zhu Youzhen's gaze moved to Wang Li.

"Uh...... Long live the lord, the little slave can give twenty taels of Yulu;

In addition, there are 30,000 taels of port tariffs in Fujian and Zhejiang that are being shipped to Beijing ......"

In the middle of his words, Wang Li suddenly realized that something was wrong and quickly shut up.

If you don't mention it, this silver can still go into Zhu Youzhen's inner treasury;

But, openly proposing in the court, he is embarrassed not to take it out?

At this time, Zhu Youzhen's face was indeed a little displeased: "Princess, didn't you go to Shanxi?" Why haven't you started yet? ”

"Uh...... Little Slave ...... The little slave had already set off, but he heard that the temple was talking about the resettlement of the troubled people, so he ......

The little slave thinks that there are too many chaotic people, and it is difficult to resettle them all!

The meaning of the little slave is ...... The imperial court should be prepared to clean up......

The little slave went to Shanxi this time, and he was trying to take precautions and train a cavalry in advance so that he could wipe out the chaotic people at any time......"

I heard that I want to train the army or the cavalry, Zhu Youzhen wants to die!

If it were possible, he really wanted to send troops right away, and kill all the rebels right away!

But don't you need money to mobilize troops?

If you have money, you still need Yang He to appease you?

Isn't this taking off your pants and farting?

Now, the defense of the capital division has not completely ended, and Huang Taiji still occupies the four cities in the Guannai!

Zhu Youzhen sent back the border army and private soldiers, leaving only the Guanning army still resisting the enemy!

The reason for this is that there is no money!

Zhu Youzhen was about to scold, but Wang Li opened his mouth first: "Long live Lord, the little slave also wants to share the worries of the court!"

As long as there are cavalry generals, Xichang Jinyi Wei gritted his teeth, and he should be able to crowdraise 20,000 taels of silver!

If you think about it, you should be able to form a cavalry!

If there is another civil uprising, Xichang will be able to send troops to clean up as soon as possible, and Long Live Lord will be able to sit back and relax! ”

These words simply speak to Zhu Youzhen's heart!

Take precautions and train the army to clean up the rebellious people, without having to pay for it yourself?

Is there such a good thing in the world?

"Hmmm! The factory is really my minister! Zhu Youzhen finally smiled and stood up: "Factory father, which general do you want to second?" ”

"Long live the lord, what the little slave wants to borrow is the "guerrilla" General Cao Wenzhao under the command of General Guan Ning Junzu! ”

"Guan Ningjun?"

Zhu Youzhen frowned slightly, he couldn't believe it!

The "guerrilla" generals began in the Han Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was a military attache of the five grades, almost an unpopular military attaché!

For Zhu Youzhen, the military attache of "several products" is not important!

The important thing is that this military attache is under the command of Zu Dashou!

Some time ago, he didn't listen to the dispatch and took away Guan Ning Tieqi privately, Zhu Youzhen did not blame "for the sake of the overall situation", but he was always angry!

Now, if Cao Wenzhao is "seconded" out, more or less, he can beat Zu Dashou!

At least, you can let him know: Guan Ning Tieqi is not surnamed "Zu"!

Zhu Youzhen was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't show his voice: "Factory Gong, are you sure it's General Cao Wenzhao?" ”

"That's right, exactly!"
