"Stop blowing and go clean up the battlefield. He Xuan shouted to his subordinates.

After seeing that the Manchu soldiers had really left, the men under his command put down the gate of the Qingshan Military Fort and began to clean the battlefield.

He Xuan looked at his sword, and began to use it to resist countless arrows, until there were no cracks. Sure enough, a famous sword is a famous sword, and it is much more upscale than an ordinary sword. If it is replaced with an ordinary sword, it is estimated that it may be directly broken when blocking the arrows.

After a while, Zhang Heizi ran over: "Boss, this time I cleaned up the loot, and I didn't gain anything." These Qing soldiers walked too clean when they left. They took away the bodies of important people, such as those of Zilharan. There were only some corpses left, and no one cleaned them up. If you use the first level to calculate the work, I am afraid that you will suffer. ”

"What are you afraid of, no one can get the credit of this battle. He Xuan said disapprovingly.

"That's right, after all, our Ming Kingdom and Qing Kingdom have fought for so many years, and the best record we have ever achieved before is only to kill Jia Lae Zhen. But now, it was the Blue Flag Master who was killed, which was a great achievement. Hehe, it looks like this time, I've been promoted again. Of course, you will definitely be promoted to a bigger official. Zhang Heizi said with a smile.

He Xuan shrugged: "By the way, He Maming, come here." ”

He Ma Ming immediately ran over quickly: "Boss, what's the matter?"

"I used to cooperate happily with Su Ding and Su Qianhu, and generally speaking, it was he who reported the merits to the top. But this time in the Battle of Jinzhou, he was also transferred by Hong Chengchou. You've passed the Tongsheng exam, so you can write the excerpts that show your merit to the top. He Xuan said.

"I'll write?" He Maming paused for a moment, but immediately nodded: "Okay." I'll write. ”

Zhang Heizi immediately shouted beside him: "Lao He, remember, write more about the leader's wisdom and martial arts, when the leader was shooting arrows, a golden light fell directly from the sky, showing the leader's handsome and extraordinary things." This is what the gods and Buddhas should be. By the way, when you are in the way, you also have to write that in the Qingshan Military Fort, there is a hundred households surnamed Zhang named Zhang Heizi, who followed the leader to fight, quite brave, and shot a Niu Lu Ezhen with an arrow. Remember, you must remember, you have to write that Zhang Baihu shot the opposite cow Lu Ezhen. My brother's future promotion and fortune depend on you. ”

He Ma Ming couldn't cry or laugh: "There is also a golden light falling from the sky, and it is not writing a novel." I'll write you credit for your work, but remember, invite me to drink. ”

"No problem. Zhang Heizi patted his chest.

......

The palace of the Ming Dynasty, the Forbidden City.

Big, big, big.

The inside is also very prosperous.

The canopy hall is the time of the court meeting.

Offstage, there are civil and military officials and ministers.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, sat on it.

However, Zhu Youzhen, the Chongzhen Emperor, felt a cold coldness.

At this time, Liu Yuliang of the cabinet first participated: "Your Majesty, Wujiang, Gui'an and other places in Su, Song, Hu and other prefectures poured heavy rain day and night, the water was sudden, surging all the time, regardless of the embankment, and the houses were toppling. And the price of rice is soaring, fighting rice to three or four dollars of silver, the rich families are closed, the people eat grass and trees, and the dead are thrown to the pillow. Tyrannical gangsters are in groups, clamoring for food, neighbors are boycotting, and people in the countryside are closed. ”

Emperor Chongzhen's face couldn't help but change.

Su, Song, Hu and other prefectures were originally important places for the government's finance and taxation, and if a disaster occurred in that place, the taxes paid were not very good-looking. If it was a previous year, such a loss would have been bearable. But over the years, I don't know why the weather is much colder than in previous years, the whole north, many places are out of harvest, if there is no Su, Song, Hu and other provinces of the treasury, how can the government do it?

Not to mention, now Hong Chengchou is leading an army of more than 100,000 people to gather in Songshan, the closest to Jinzhou, and confront the Manchus.

With an army of more than 100,000 people, grain and grass is not a small amount. Although before this war, the imperial court had prepared grain and grass earlier, but if the war dragged on, the confrontation became prolonged, and there were disasters in Su, Song, Hu and other prefectures, and they could not pay taxes, what should they do?

A minister next to him also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the province has been hungry recently, and in Jifu, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi, there are people who eat vegetables on the soil, and there is no food. ”

Emperor Chongzhen said with a headache: "Ministers, what do you think? Now that disasters are everywhere, what do you think?"

The ministers below were silent.

How do these ministers answer? To put it bluntly, there is no money to make a fuss about this matter.

The Ming Dynasty is poor, it is simply terrifyingly poor.

This is the problem that money can solve, but there is no money in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the Ming officials were very rich, and Li Zicheng broke into the capital, and he got tens of millions of taels of silver by robbing the wealth of these Ming Dynasty officials. And the Ming Dynasty finance, a year is millions of taels of silver.

The corners of Emperor Chongzhen's lips couldn't help but reveal a sarcastic smile: "For three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, you have always eaten official food, and now when it is time to contribute, why can't you think of a way?"

The ministers below were silent, anyway, they all made the appearance of dead pigs who were not afraid of boiling water.

But there is no way, and a solution has to be found.

Emperor Chongzhen said with a headache: "In this way, the imperial court really has no money." But disasters cannot be left unsaved. Otherwise, the whole country will become like the northwest, and there will be civil uprisings everywhere. Everyone's life is not easy either. Donate some money, you officials. Jiadingbo, how much do you donate?"

The Jiading Bo he said was Zhou Kui, the father of Emperor Chongzhen's Empress Zhou, and when Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, how could his father-in-law support him.

And with Zhou Kui taking the lead, no matter what others say, they will have to donate more or less money, so that the money will be gathered and there will be disaster relief.

Let's get through it.

This week, Kui has no other hobbies in his life, just likes large pieces of gold and silver. He had twenty treasury gold ingots and forty silver ingots in his house. But recently Jiadingbo has built dozens of new warehouses, and for a while he can't get so much gold and silver to fill the warehouse, looking at the empty warehouse, Jiadingbo's heart is indescribably sad, and there is often a desperate mood in his heart.

Life, cold!

Hard!

Gold and silver, it's really hard to earn.

It's too much for his son-in-law to donate money himself!

Zhou Kui immediately said: "Minister, the minister's sleeves are breezy, where did the money come from." ”

"Poof!" Zhou Kui said that he was a breeze with two sleeves, and there were already eunuchs below who couldn't help laughing, there are really few people in the capital who are richer than Zhou Kui.

Emperor Chongzhen also looked at Zhou Kui with his eyes, and there was already coldness in his eyes.

Zhou Kui originally wanted to pretend to be dead, insisting that he had no money. But when he saw Emperor Chongzhen's knife-like eyes, he couldn't help but shudder, this Emperor Chongzhen is the most fierce emperor who has ever killed ministers, don't look at himself as the uncle of the country, but he is really ruthless, and the possibility of doing it is still very great.

"Okay, when I go back, sell the furniture in the house and see if I can scrape together three thousand taels of silver. Zhou Kui said bitterly, although his family has nearly 100 taels of silver, but to donate 10,000 taels of silver out, it is really heartbreaking and uncomfortable, he is about to lose his breath.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard that there were only three thousand taels, he couldn't wait to kill Zhou Kui on the spot, but he was the queen's father, so he could only endure it.

With Zhou Kui taking the lead, the rest of the ministers, this said: "Go home and sell furniture and make up a thousand taels." ”

The one said, "Go home and sell antiques, and make up two thousand taels." ”

Then he said, "Go home and sell the fields, hoping to make a thousand fifteen hundred taels." ”

It seems that for one or two thousand taels, for these ministers, it has reached the point of selling their wealth.

Finally, it took a court meeting, and it can be regarded as gathering all the money, although so many ministers only gave one or two thousand taels each, but the overall amount was quite a lot, enough for this disaster relief.

Emperor Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and the matter was settled.

"Report!" a person rushed in hurriedly: "There is a battle report from the border pass." ”
