Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 287
In the Chongzhen Dynasty during the Little Ice Age, money and food could not be avoided. Many problems that broke out could be solved if there was enough money and food.

Just like Emperor Qian Deaf of the Qing Dynasty, how many things happened, the so-called perfect martial arts were purely a product of personal imagination, how much money was thrown into Jinchuan, big and small.

But for Daming, there are big financial problems, and it is not easy to solve these problems.

The Military Aircraft Division, which was ordered to participate in the suppression of the rebellion, dispatched counter-insurgency front-pointers. This special service organization, under the leadership of the Military Aircraft Counselor Jin Sheng, led the officer corps carefully selected by Emperor Chongzhen. After a lot of discussion around, he left Beijing in a mighty way and rushed to Shanxi to rule.

At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen issued another decree to send people from the Supervisor of Rites to go to Xuanfu Town, ordering Li Banghua and Liu Hongxun, who supervised the collaborating case, to move to Taiyuan Mansion!

No matter how many moths you can find.

Even if the top tanks are all generals.

Taking advantage of the three years of Chongzhen, before the outbreak of the bandit forces, it is also an excellent thing for Emperor Chongzhen to solve some of the problems under the rule of Taiyuan Mansion.

Along with the Zhongzhi, there were two secret decrees, one for Zhou Yuji and one for Cao Huachun.

The former is the request made by Emperor Chongzhen to Zhou Yuji, as well as the list of talents provided. The purpose is to enable Zhou Yuji to survive the three years of Chongzhen safely, and take advantage of the situation to lead the Yongwei Battalion and make a name for himself in the fight against bandits!
The latter was Emperor Chongzhen who ordered Cao Huachun to assist Xichang, who had returned to Beijing, to resolve the matter of escorting and confiscating the property. At the same time, he stayed in Taiyuan to assist Li Banghua in solving the Taiyuan collusion case.

As for the students of Cao Wenzhao and Kong Youde, the senior generals, they escorted the entire family of the eight Shanxi merchants headed by Fan Yongdou back to the capital.

The court did not know much about these things that were carried out in secret. At this time, the ministers in the court were still digesting the changed situation.

As for the follow-up impact of eradicating the eight major Shanxi merchants, it will take some time before it can occur. This is the advantage brought by the information difference.

"Xu Qing, Sun Qing, since I was in charge of the imperial court, disasters have occurred frequently under the rule of the state, especially in the Shanshan and Shaanxi areas, and this is even more so."

Emperor Chongzhen stood in front of the map and said with a serious expression: "In the next few months, the two warehouses in Jingtong will receive a batch of large-scale grain reserves.

One of you is in charge of the warehouse affairs in the cabinet, and the other is in charge of supervising the affairs of the warehouse. During this time, the errands you are in charge of have improved a lot, and I can see it in my eyes.

The Jingcang and Tongzhou warehouses have not been sorted out these years, and the moths that have bred are definitely more than the current ones, so you have to sort out the warehouses as soon as possible.

If Jin Yiwei is required to assist, I can order Luo Yangxing to assist. "

Xu Guangqi and Sun Juxiang looked at each other, and the stone hanging in their hearts seemed to have fallen. They thought that the emperor's summoning this time was because they were dissatisfied with the progress of the matter they were grasping.

I didn't expect it to be a compliment.

This also caused Nan Juyi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, to have some thoughts in his mind.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to use Jin Yiwei."

Xu Guangqi cupped his hands and said: "With the assistance of Sun Shangshu, at the latest two months, the sorting out of the Jingcang and Tongzhou warehouses can be fully implemented.

After the settlement of the two warehouses in Jingtong, the minister will work with Sun Shangshu to solve the problem of preparing to build military storage warehouses in the various prefectures under the rule of Beizhili. "

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Sun Juxiang followed closely and said: "I will definitely cooperate with Elder Xu Ge to do a good job in the warehouse, and will not ask Guochao to encounter any problems in the grain storage."

Emperor Chongzhen recognized the abilities of Xu Guangqi and Sun Juxiang. As long as the ideas he provided, the two of them can combine the national conditions of the Ming Dynasty and implement them in a real sense. Daily ledger registration, patrol inspection system, etc., those who want to secretly sell the grain reserves can be eliminated to the greatest extent.

Of course, in order to add a layer of insurance, in the future, on Jinyiwei's side, Emperor Chongzhen will assign special personnel from time to time to conduct secret investigations in various places.

no way.

In a troubled Daming, food is always the number one priority.

Emperor Chongzhen would never relax his vigilance on food until he found high-yielding crops such as sweet potatoes and cultivated good varieties suitable for local cultivation in the Ming Dynasty.

Counterinsurgency needs food, disaster relief needs food, new army training needs food, and garrison troops need food everywhere...

Don't panic if you have food in your hand, this is an easy-to-understand truth, after Emperor Chongzhen learned the truth about Daming, he had a deeper understanding.

In a disaster year, if there is no food, rebellion is inevitable, and in the process, the tragedy of cannibalism will happen, and the tragedy of looting places will also happen.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen must ensure to the greatest extent that surrounding the core base of Beizhili, the adjacent mountains, Shaanxi, Henan, Qi, Liao and other places will not cause too much trouble because of the food problem. movement.

After the confiscation of the silver of the eight major Shanxi merchants, including those jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc., are all transported to the capital, Emperor Chongzhen will further strengthen the foundation of the state-owned economy.

Carry out corresponding planning and deployment around the main cores such as income increase, sea trade, and grain purchase.

"I remember the words of the two Qing family in my heart."

Emperor Chongzhen stepped forward, supported Xu Guangqi and Sun Juxiang, and said with a slight smile, "I will entrust this heavy burden to you."

"I will obey your orders!"

After solving the problem of grain storage, the next step is the general affairs.

In the Chongzhen Dynasty, a topic that could never be avoided was the frequency of natural disasters. Almost every year, several disasters with a wide range would break out in various places under the Ming Dynasty.

Things like snowstorms and earth dragons turning over cannot be solved by human intervention, but disasters like floods, droughts, and locust plagues can be effectively prevented.

In response to the locust plague, Emperor Chongzhen plans to order the state-owned economy to distribute money to buy locusts in areas where locust plagues occur, and make locust nutrition powder.

The root of floods and droughts is river management and reservoir construction.

"Nan Qing, the burden on you is also not light."

Thinking of Emperor Chongzhen here, he looked at Nan Juyi and said, "The prime minister's river affairs are related to the lifeblood of our Ming Dynasty, especially the maintenance of the Caohe River.

But over the years, disasters have occurred frequently under my Ming rule, especially floods and droughts, as if they had been negotiated, they appeared alternately under my Ming rule.

In order to avoid large-scale floods and droughts, regarding the Prime Minister’s river affairs, I feel that some places need to be changed. We should not only pay attention to the Caohe, Yellow River, and Yangtze River, but also pay attention to the main river basins under the Ming Dynasty, and even the rivers in various places. Constructive control measures are required. "
