Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 563 Sun Chuanting's Debriefing

"After you go down today, you write a charter for all the affairs of the Wa Kingdom and give it to me." Zhao Wen looked at Hong Chengchou and said.

The time for Hong Chengchou to go to Wa is not too short. If you listen to Hong Chengchou's story, it may take a long time.

And these things are to be archived, so Zhao Wen asked Hong Chengchou to write these things into a charter.

Hong Chengchou cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong and said, "I will obey your lord's order!"

Zhao Wen nodded and looked at Liu Wenzhong, "You arrange these Japanese warriors, and arrange them in the station!

If there is nothing else to do, you can leave first, I will go to the steel factory later to see how the generator is doing! "

Liu Wenzhong and Hong Chengchou stood up, saluted Zhao Wen, and walked outside.

Zhao Wen also stood up and walked outside with Li Xiaosan and several guards.

At this time, Liu Wenzhong took Sakata Arui and other samurai out of the General Military Mansion and walked towards the direction of the post house.

……

The new year is coming soon, in previous years, as long as it was during the new year, Chongzhen would be happy even if he encountered troubles, at least he would not have a gloomy face all day long.

However, this year's Chongzhen did not have the mentality of previous years at all.

He took Gao Qiqian and others for a walk in the imperial garden of the palace.

The exotic flowers and plants planted in the imperial garden are now withered, and apart from a few green pines, there is no longer any green.

Chongzhen looked at the barren imperial garden in front of him, and sighed: "I am afraid that after the spring, the Zhao thieves will launch an attack, and the main targets of the Zhao thieves should be in the Central Plains and Shaanxi.

Once the Central Plains and Shaanxi are captured, half of the entire Ming Dynasty will be lost, and the north of the Ming Dynasty will be gone.The north of Daming is gone, and the south will not be able to hold off Zhao's soldiers at all. At that time, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

The more Chongzhen spoke, the more worried he became, and at the end he lost his voice, and all his words turned into sighs.

"My lord, our Ming Dynasty has been established for nearly 300 years, and it is the orthodoxy of the world. Although the Zhao thief is very powerful now, it is just a persistent disease, and it will definitely be put down.

Don't worry, the emperor, the sage said that his prosperity is also vigorous, and his death is also sudden.Bandit Zhao is just a traitor, there is no essential difference between him and Li Zicheng and his like, the emperor need not worry at all! "Gao Qiqian didn't know how to comfort Chongzhen, so he could only talk nonsense.

Chongzhen walked forward slowly, the patches on his clothes were very conspicuous.Chongzhen didn't care about the patches on his clothes at all.

The patches on Chongzhen's clothes are not the 30 taels of silver patches on Emperor Daoguang's clothes, but the patches on Chongzhen's clothes are genuine ones.

It's not that Chongzhen is unwilling to wear new clothes, but that the national treasury is now empty, and all the money has been spent by Chongzhen on military expenses. Chongzhen is now very poor.

"The national treasury is empty, and the internal money is also empty, silver, silver!" Chongzhen stopped, and he looked at the sky with a helpless expression.

Chongzhen's grandfather, Emperor Wanli, was an emperor who liked money very much, and he saved a lot of money throughout his life.

However, Wanli's three major campaigns and the subsequent Salhu almost wiped out all of Wanli's family property.

By the time of the apocalypse, the treasury was out of money.

In addition, Emperor Tianqi was still young at the time, and the ministers in the court relied on the merits of being a dragon, so they did not take Emperor Tianqi seriously.

The young Emperor Tianqi had no choice but to release Wei Zhongxian, the big killer.

Although Wei Zhongxian also embezzled a lot of money when he was working for Emperor Tianqi, at least he got some money for Emperor Tianqi.

But today's Chongzhen is not even as good as his elder brother Emperor Tianqi.

Emperor Tianqi at least had Wei Zhongxian to help him get money, but what about Chongzhen?Just a high-level potential, although Chongzhen released the factory guards before, but the current factory guards have no way to compare with the previous ones.

Chongzhen wanted Gao Qiqian to get money, but Gao Qiqian couldn't compare with Wei Zhongxian in this matter, let alone the factory guard in Gao Qiqian's hands.

"My lord, why don't you ask those honorable clans in the court to donate some silver?" Gao Qiqian looked at Chongzhen cautiously.

If Gao Qiqian had told Chongzhen this way before, Chongzhen would definitely be scolded.

But now, Chongzhen did not scold him.Chongzhen shook his head and said: "Let those honorable clans donate money? This is impossible. Today's honorable clans are no longer the clans of a hundred years ago. How can they easily spit out what they eat? ?
Fortunately, Sun Chuanting is capable, and he didn't ask me to allocate funds when he was running the defense line of the Yellow River and Taihang Mountains. Although there were some troubles, he didn't spend my money, so he became a loyal minister. "

Chongzhen took Gao Qi to sneak around in the imperial garden, wandered around for a while, Chongzhen was a little bored, and then led Gao Qi back to the imperial study.

At this moment, a carriage stopped outside the city gate to the south of the capital.

After the carriage stopped, a middle-aged scholar with a long beard, wearing an official uniform, wearing a Tianxia Pingding crown, got out of the carriage.

Behind him, followed by seven or eight powerful followers of Kong Wu.

These seven or eight attendants rode war horses. When Sun Chuanting got off the carriage, they also jumped off the horses.

This person is none other than Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting came to Beijing this time to seek a job.

Originally, the time for the job report was after the Chinese New Year, but Sun Chuanting felt that if he went to the capital after the Chinese New Year, it might be too late.

Sun Chuanting stood at the city gate, took out his identity certificate, and handed it to the defenders at the city gate.

After the defenders checked Sun Chuanting's identity credentials, they let Sun Chuanting and the others in.

After entering the capital, Sun Chuanting sat on the carriage again and headed towards the imperial palace.

The carriage was driving on the streets of the capital, and pedestrians on both sides of the street looked at the approaching carriage and hurriedly gave way.

Sun Chuanting unfastened the curtains on the carriage and looked out.

The new year is coming soon, but pedestrians on both sides of the street rarely see smiles.

Sun Chuanting let out a long sigh, "Alas, life in the capital is not easy. In previous years, the capital was filled with gongs and drums, and the sky was full of joy, but this year it was so gloomy that even the sound of firecrackers could rarely be heard."

Not long after traveling through the capital, Sun Chuanting came outside the palace gate.

Sun Chuanting changed the official uniform he was carrying in the carriage, put on the official hat, got off the carriage with the memorial he had written and his identity certificate, and walked towards the palace gate.

Generally speaking, ministers cannot enter the palace to face the saint without the emperor's summons, but Sun Chuanting was personally appointed by Chongzhen, and he said that Sun Chuanting could face the saint at any time, so the guards at the palace gate did not stop him and let Sun Chuanting in.

"My lord, please wait here for a while, I will report!" Sun Chuanting was about to go forward, when a soldier of the palace gate said hastily.

Sun Chuanting straightened his clothes and took the written memorial, "It's okay, you go report it!"

The guard cupped his hands at Sun Chuanting, and then ran towards the inside.

At this time, Chongzhen was sitting in the imperial study and flipping through the memorial, his face was serious.

"Since the beginning of winter in Shaanxi, there hasn't been a single snowfall. I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe in the coming year. Your Majesty, please prepare early!" Chongzhen looked at a memorial sent by the governor of Shaanxi, his face darkened to the bottom of the valley.

"Li Zicheng and his like's thieves and Zhao thieves haven't been dealt with yet, and now there is a drought in Shaanxi, what do I bring to relieve the disaster? Where did I get the money to relieve the disaster?" Chongzhen closed the memorial in his hand, with a helpless expression on his face.

Chongzhen leaned back on the chair, staring blankly at the ceiling.

At this time, he only felt that there was a heavy burden weighing on him, and he couldn't breathe.

Now that there is no extra money in the treasury, where can we get money for disaster relief?

Chongzhen closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.

He really couldn't figure out how to deal with this matter.

"My lord, Sun Chuanting, governor of the three provinces, please see me!"

At this moment, a small yellow door appeared at the door of the imperial study room and whispered towards the inside.

Chongzhen opened his eyes, sat up straight, and a smile appeared on his helpless face, "Sun Chuanting? Hurry up, let him have an audience!"

Xiao Huangmen saluted Chongzhen, and then trotted outside.

Not long after, Sun Chuanting appeared outside the imperial study.

Sun Chuanting walked into the imperial study, and he stood in the middle of the hall, "Your Majesty Sun Chuanting pays his respects!"

As soon as Sun Chuanting said that, he kowtowed and bowed nine times to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen said with a smile on his face: "Sun Aiqing doesn't need to be like this, please hurry up!"

Sun Chuanting thanked him and stood up from the ground.

"Come here, give me a seat!" Chongzhen pointed at Sun Chuanting and said to Gao Qiqian who was standing beside him.

Gao Qiqian ran down in a hurry, picked up a little Xiudun from the side, and put it behind Sun Chuanting's buttocks.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sun Chuanting thanked, and then carefully sat down on the Xiudun with half of his buttocks.

"Sun Aiqing, I haven't seen Sun Aiqing for a long time, I wonder how Sun Aiqing is doing this time?" Chongzhen asked with a smile on his face.

Sun Chuanting established the Yellow River Taihang Line of Defense without spending a cent of Chongzhen's money, so at this time, Chongzhen looked at Sun Chuanting more and more pleasingly.

Sun Chuanting didn't know how to reply to Chongzhen, so he had to avoid this topic, "Your Majesty, I have established the Yellow River Taihang Mountain defense line in the Yellow River Taihang Mountain area. Now the general project has been completed, and it is estimated that it will be completed in March or April next year.

At that time, the Yellow River Taihang Mountain line of defense will be the best line of defense to stop Zhao Wen from advancing.

At the junction of Shanxi and Shaanxi, there is the Yellow River. The Yellow River is turbulent. It is not so easy for Zhao thief to cross the Yellow River.

To the east of Shanxi is the Taihang Mountain. The Taihang Mountain is steep and not suitable for large-scale military movements, so the Zhao thief will not march in the Taihang Mountain.

Between the Yellow River and the Taihang Mountains, I built dozens of fortresses, large and small. These fortresses were built according to the characteristics of Zhao's thieves' weapons. In my opinion, they should be able to block the artillery fire of Xuanzhen. "

"Yes, yes. Sun Aiqing is indeed a capable official. I didn't misjudge you, I didn't misjudge you!" Chongzhen praised Sun Chuanting with joy.

The construction of fortifications of this scale requires a lot of money, but Sun Chuanting did not ask the court for a penny of money.

For a courtier like Sun Chuanting, Chongzhen was naturally happy.

"Your Majesty, this is the job of the minister. As your Majesty's minister, I naturally have to relieve your majesty's worries. This is the minister's memorial on the defense line. Please read it!" Sun Chuanting took out a memorial from his sleeve.

Gao Qiqian, who was standing beside Chongzhen, hurried to Sun Chuanting and took the memorial from Sun Chuanting.

After taking the memorial, Gao Qiqian returned to Chongzhen's side and handed the memorial to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen took Sun Chuanting's memorial in his hand and flipped through it.

"That's right, that's right. Sun Aiqing is indeed a capable and responsible loyal minister. She was able to build up the Yellow River Taihang line of defense without requiring a penny from the court. It's really rare, really rare!" Chongzhen flipped through the pages. He said excitedly.

Sun Chuanting sat in the middle of the hall of the imperial study, not excited by Chongzhen's praise.

He sat there with a calm face, looking ahead.

After a quarter of an hour, Chongzhen read all the memorials.

"Okay, okay, I have Sun Aiqing, why don't you worry that the Zhao thief can't be calmed down?" Zhao Wen clapped his hands together and looked at Sun Chuanting excitedly.

Sun Chuanting replied: "This is the duty of the minister. As a minister, it is natural to solve your majesty's worries and problems!"

"You're right, if the court is full of courtiers like you, can I still be like this?" Chongzhen looked at Sun Chuanting, and couldn't help but compare Sun Chuanting with the ministers in the court.

In comparison, in comparison, Chongzhen really couldn't find a minister who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Sun Chuanting.

In the following time, Sun Chuanting gave Chongzhen a detailed introduction to what he was doing in Henan.

Chongzhen quietly listened to Sun Chuanting's explanation as if he was listening to a lecture in class.

Unknowingly, the sun gradually set on the western mountain.

After Sun Chuanting finished his last sentence, he stood up from the pier, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave!"

Chongzhen waved his hand at Sun Chuanting, "Aiqing step down!"

Sun Chuanting saluted and walked outside.

Looking at the back of Sun Chuanting leaving, Chongzhen sighed and said: "If all the courtiers in the court can have the ability of Sun Aiqing, that would be great? It's a pity, it's a pity that the courtiers in the court are all vegetarians. It's quite powerful."

Sun Chuanting walked out of the palace gate, he looked at the darkened sky, and led his followers towards his home in the capital.

After Daizhou City was captured by Zhao Wen, Sun Chuanting brought his family to the capital and bought a house.

Not long after, Sun Chuanting came to his house.

After Sun Chuanting arrived at the palace, he asked someone to go back and notify his family, so when Sun Chuanting arrived in front of his house, his family members had already been waiting at the door for a long time.
