In the first month of the second year of Chongzhen, the capital, the imperial palace, and the imperial study.

Zhu Youzhen was intently flipping through the chapters, his brows furrowed.

Wu Zhiwang, the governor of Shaanxi Province, played the Guyuan mutiny, and the soldiers who participated in the mutiny robbed the property of the Guyuan Prefecture treasury, and then turned to Jingyang, Fuping, and Sanyuan, and the guerrilla general Li Ying was also captured......

This piece made him feel as if he was on a jumping machine.

This was the recital from December last year, but he didn't see it until the first lunar month, because there was so much backlog on hand that he couldn't finish it, he couldn't finish it at all.

Thinking of the ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang's ability to handle state affairs, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

"The border army is actually the opposite, and it has been in arrears for a long time, and it really can't work.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but sigh.

The confidant eunuch Cao Huachun said in a low voice: "I still have to find a way to get some silver out, otherwise.......

Zhu Youzhen: "But where to get the silver?" ”

Cao Huachun stretched out his hand and handed over a piece of music: "The emperor might as well take a look at this piece." ”

"Oh?"

Zhu Youzhen opened the chapter and looked at it closely, this was a piece of music handed over by the Criminal Department to Liu Mao in the matter, and Shuzhong suggested that the post office should be strictly rectified and the standards for the use of the post post should be re-stipulated, believing that after rectification and the elimination of various ills, the post station funds can save hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year.

Get rid of the indiscriminate survey of the fire card, so that the people are trapped!

After reading it, Zhu Youzhen was a little puzzled: "Just by rectifying the post delivery, you can save hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year?"

Cao Huachun said in a low voice: "The cost of the post station is indeed very high. When officials of all sizes traveled to and from the roads, they often arbitrarily extorted men and horses, and even extorted 'fold dry', that is, the post station was ordered to provide more supplies than was actually needed, and the excess part was converted into silver and put into private pockets....... and the post station reported the silver to the imperial court, and finally turned into a state treasury expenditure. ”

Zhu Youzhen's brows furrowed deeply: "So, these guys just cheated the treasury hundreds of thousands of taels every year?" ”

Cao Huachun said in a low voice: "Exactly." ”

Zhu Youzhen was furious: "How can this be reasonable, since this is the case, immediately rectify the post station, control the expenditure of the post station, and do not allow them to continue to do such nonsense."

Cao Huachun: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, after rectification, these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver will be returned to the treasury, you should be happy." ”

Zhu Youzhen thought about it carefully, yes, I didn't find this drawback before, and the money was gone, but now that I have found it, the money will come back, and I will have hundreds of thousands of more silver to deploy every year in the future, isn't it a great goodness? This stretched financial situation can be greatly alleviated.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen's mood seemed to be on a jet.

I was just happy for a few minutes........

"Report! Urgent!"

A eunuch ran into the imperial study and handed over an urgent military report.

Open it and take a look: "Luochuan, Chunhua, Sanshui, Luoyang, Qingshui, Chengxian, Hancheng, Yijun, Central, Shiquan, Yichuan, Suide, Jiazhou, Yao, Jingning, Tongguan, Yangpingguan, Jinsuoguan and other places, thieves plundered.......

When Zhu Youzhen saw this long list of place names, he felt as if he was on a jumping machine, and he was furious: "What is the situation? Why do you write so many place names? It's better to write a sentence to me, Suiting and Shaanxi are all in chaos. ”

Cao Huachun Khan.

Zhu Youzhen roared angrily: "Are Wu Zhiwang, the governor of Suiyan, and Hu Tingyan, the governor of Shaanxi, eating dry rice? ”

As soon as he finished yelling, another eunuch ran in from outside, and said urgently: "Report, Suiyan Governor Wu Zhiwang has passed away from illness, and it is urgent to appoint a new governor."

Zhu Youzhen: "!! ”

He frowned, thought for a long time, and said, "Call Yang He to see me." ”

Chengcheng County began to burst out with a thriving atmosphere.

After Dao Xuan Tianzun appeared once in front of all the people, he began to appear frequently, first in front of all the people, a rain fell on Chengcheng County, and then sent a spokesperson, Mr. Wang, together with the county order, to revitalize all walks of life in the county.

Just like the development route of Gaojia Village, the first to benefit are the craftsmen in the official workshop.

Tianzun directly increased the wages of all craftsmen.

This is not in line with the ancestral system, but Liang Shixian has no opinion and immediately complied.

In fact, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, people of insight had already realized the disadvantages of the craftsman household system, and had already had the intention to reform, Liang Shixian just did not have the ability to reform it, and now with the material support given by Tianzun, he dared to treat the craftsman household well.

At the same time, Tianzun released a large amount of grain, filling the granary of the county seat.

Liang Shixian immediately opened an official grain store to sell grain at the price of grain in a non-disaster year, and in just a few days, the grain price of thousands of dollars of rice was brought under control and restored to the grain price in ordinary years.

For this reason, Liang Shixian was really happy, according to people familiar with the matter, Liang Shixian stood in the backyard of the county government and laughed a few times: "People, this official has helped you bring down the price of grain."

Once food prices returned to normal, people no longer had to spend all their income on food, but could afford to buy other goods, so all walks of life began to regain their heads and slowly regain their vitality.

The cloth village opened, the garment shop also opened, the teahouse was entered, porcelain and clay pots were bought, the handicrafts were sold, and the troupe's plays were watched........

The speed at which the county town has come back to life has exceeded anyone's expectations.

It's in this lively atmosphere......

A Taoist priest, leading three people, just walked into the gate of Chengcheng County.

The Taoist priest is Ma Tianzheng, and the three people behind him are Song Yingxing and his two domestic servants.

The group of four had walked a long way, tired and hungry.

This road is not easy, the four of them have encountered a small group of thieves several times, fortunately the Taoist priest can still eat in this year, the thieves see the Taoist priest, they are not too embarrassed to rob, even if there are occasionally one or two small thieves who do not come to the real thing, Ma Tianzheng used the true swordsmanship, but he can resist it.

"Mr. Song, this is Chengcheng County." Ma Tianzheng breathed a long sigh of relief: "When we get here, it's not far from Gaojia Village, there are only more than thirty miles to go, let's rest here for one night today, and set off tomorrow." ”

Song Yingxing walked into the county seat and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Great! It's really a little tiring to walk in the next place. This Shaanxi is really a terrible place, full of disasters and famines, full of thieves, oops, if it weren't for Ma Daochang's care, I wouldn't be able to come here. ”

Ma Tianzheng: "This is what the poor road should do." ”

As the two were talking about this, they saw a large group of people slowly walking over on the street of the county seat, led by a pair of mother and son, who were Bai Gongzi and Mrs. Bai, and beside the two, they were also followed by a contract foreman Teng Yifeng.

He was respectfully saying to Bai Gongzi: "Bai Gongzi, I heard that you have a wonderful way to carry heavy objects, and our road construction team has encountered a very large stone and needs to move it away from the middle of the road, so please help." ”
