Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 285 Petition to the Brave Guard Camp to Ping Kou Shu
The poor financial revenue of the Chongzhen Dynasty can actually be traced back to the Wanli Dynasty. Zhang Juzheng promoted a whip method, which was like a strong medicine, and fell on the seriously ill Daming.

Zhang Juzheng promoted a whip method, which was originally intended to prevent land annexation and increase the country's fiscal revenue, so as to achieve the political goal of enriching the people and strengthening the country. When he was alive, he did make Ming Dynasty achieve a short-term rebound, called Wanli Zhongxing.

However, this policy seriously touched the core interests of vested interest groups and pushed Zhang Juzheng to the opposite side. Even Emperor Wanli resented Zhang Juzheng.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he had to be subject to various constraints of Zhang Juzheng, which was unacceptable to Emperor Wanli.

The majestic son of heaven is suppressed by his courtiers, what kind of thing is this?
And with Zhang Juzheng's death, it was also announced that a whipping method ended in failure. Even Zhang Juzheng himself, even if he died, would be confiscated, pursued all the honors in his life, and was almost opened up and whipped...

Since then, Daming's financial system has been going back and forth between good and bad.

The guarding eunuchs of the Wanli Dynasty and Wei Yan of the Tianqi Dynasty had no choice but to support the precarious financial system so that Daming would not collapse.

However, after the Chongzhen Dynasty, under the influence of the Little Ice Age, it entered an outbreak period, and various disasters occurred frequently, which further aggravated land annexation and intensified class conflicts. This also caused Daming to fall into an endless loop.

The situation in the Liaodong battlefield is unfavorable, the suppression of bandits in Shanshan and Shaanxi is unfavorable, the finances tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and the three major salaries apportioned...

This item is in an endless loop, and the factor of constant repetition makes Daming seem to be about to collapse, but it is mending and supporting it so that it will not collapse.

'With the proceeds of the eight major Shanxi merchants who ransacked their homes, the situation they faced was greatly eased. On the way to the military plane, Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chariot, was in a very good mood, thinking about the plans and deployments to be launched later.

'The foundation of the state-run economy, the Armed Forces Institute, the grain storage system, the suppression of rogue bandits, the preparation of the new army, the support of orphans, the involvement in business affairs, etc., do not have to worry about money anymore.

The problems that Daming is facing now are money and food. It is not a problem to solve these two core problems in the short term, and to extend the corresponding plan. '

Earlier, Emperor Chongzhen was still worried about what kind of troubles Zhou Yuji and the others would encounter when they led the army to Taiyuan Mansion. After all, it was in the middle of winter, and they were operating in a different place. Shanxi merchants are not an easy task.

Fortunately, Zhou Yuji and Cao Wenzhao didn't disappoint Emperor Chongzhen, they managed things very well, and the eight Shanxi merchants headed by Fan Yongdou were all under control.

Only removing the eight major Shanxi merchants who betrayed Ming Dynasty and acted as running dogs and traitors, the total value of all the gains was at least 50 million taels of silver.

This has been on top of Daming's fiscal revenue for many years.

With the huge profits gained from the smuggling and selling of stolen goods, it is no wonder that Fan Yongdou and his gang of running dogs and traitors are willing to take the risk of beheading and exterminating the family, but also to do it secretly.

'However, using the method of beheading to directly eliminate the eight major Shanxi merchants will have an influence within the Ming Dynasty for a long time to come. '

When he was about to reach the military plane, Emperor Chongzhen thought of something, "Based on the virtues of the eight Shanxi merchants, they will inevitably extend their tentacles of power to as much as possible to Daming. No one knows the benefit network.

The state-owned economy headed by Huangzhuang controlled by the inner court must grow up in Beizhili as soon as possible to ensure the stability of daily needs such as food prices, salt prices, and cotton prices, otherwise there will be a wide range of economic shocks. For Daming, this is not a good thing. '

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, when considering the angle of the problem, you can't think about it unilaterally, you must consider the problem from multiple angles.

The center of the dynasty must take into account the local situation. If there is any deviation in the balance, the hidden dangers will be infinite.

"Your Majesty... Yang He, the governor of the three sides, sent people to Beijing to send an urgent report!"

Emperor Chongzhen had just arrived at the Military Aircraft Office and was about to summon the Minister of Military Aircraft. Wang Qia, Zhou Yanru, Wang Zaijin, and Huang Liji came to Emperor Chongzhen with memorials.

Ok?
Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly, and received the urgent report from Yang He from Wang Chengen's hand. Under the gaze of everyone, Emperor Chongzhen looked through it.

But the content inside made Emperor Chongzhen a little surprised.

What the hell is Yang He trying to do?

Play please brave Weiying Ping Kou Shu.

In this memorandum, the difficulty of suppressing the bandits is stated throughout, and the problems encountered at present are stated. Finally, it is stated that the Yongwei Battalion, who went deep into the Taiyuan Mansion and was ordered to eliminate bandits, could rush to Shaanxi to rule and participate in the war. Put down the bandits.

Zhou Yuji and the others were tossing things in Shanxi, how did Yang He, who was far away in Shaanxi, know about it?Why did you send people to Beijing to present such a memorial?
Various conjectures arose in Emperor Chongzhen's mind.

"What is the opinion of the Military Aircraft Department?"

Emperor Chongzhen put down the memorabilia in his hand, looked at Wang Qia and the others, and said, "Yang Qing is in charge of suppressing bandits, but the situation in the Shanxi area has always been ups and downs.

Now Yang Qing... specially submits a memorial, asking the Yongwei Battalion to go to Shaanxi to participate in the suppression of bandits. Let's talk about it all, so that I can make a decision. "

In fact, Wang Qia, Zhou Yanru and other military ministers were very puzzled about Yang He's memorial at the beginning, but when they thought about the incident in Xuanfu Town, they had to think deeply about it.

I'm afraid that the mighty generals dispatched by the emperor are definitely not limited to Cao Wenzhao's subordinates, especially Yang He still pointed out in the memorandum that Zhou Yuji and others will have great talents and care for the community. Go to Shaanxi to suppress bandits.

"Your Majesty, according to what Yang He said, the current situation in Hancheng is ups and downs, and the various rebels that have been bred have been raging in Shaanxi and other places. Created, made great military exploits, so my old minister thought that in order to suppress the bandits, he could call the Yongwei Battalion to go to Shaanxi."

"Your Majesty, I think what Wang Shufu said is true. The Eight Banners of Jianlu who are currently occupying Liaodong have been affected by the previous heavy losses. They have not made much action in Liaodong. If the country can take this opportunity to quell the rebellion in Shanshan and Shaanxi, it will be a big deal. It is a very good thing for the country and the people.”

"His Majesty……"

After thinking for a while, Wang Qia, Zhou Yanru, Wang Zaijin and the others spoke out what they thought in their hearts. After listening to the one-sided remarks, Emperor Chongzhen frowned. The action of annihilating the eight Jin merchants caused a lot of trouble. The chain reaction caused him to make temporary adjustments to his previous plan.
