Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 296 Food, food!
It's so good, why did Lu Xiangsheng submit a memorial to ask for garrisoning the fields?
Didn't the military planes in the land of Jimiyong Sanxie allocate the food and salaries that were lacking?
Has the follow-up monthly allocation of food and payment system been implemented?

Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly, and he couldn't help feeling suspicious when he received the memorial from Han Zanzhou.

During the previous period, Emperor Chongzhen had been busy checking and balancing the court, and now it has achieved initial results. For Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chengzong, Liu Xingzuo, etc., he mostly relied on the Military Aircraft Department to understand the situation.

Is there something wrong with the military aircraft department?
Not likely.

Facing the rotten Ming Dynasty, the memorial submitted by Lu Xiangsheng inevitably made Emperor Chongzhen suspicious, but it was quickly dispelled.

The group of ministers in the Military Aircraft Department, including the Minister of Counselor, everyone who can enter can only enter after being approved by him.

With all kinds of doubts, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the memorial in his hand, his brows that were slightly frowned, relaxed, but then frowned again.

There was no problem with the food and salaries allocated to the Jimiyong Sanxie.

Lu Xiangsheng's memorials are for Liao people and refugees who migrated inwards from Yongping, Jizhou towns and other places, and they want to reopen Jingdong farming.

"Food, or for food!"

Emperor Chongzhen closed the memorial, whispered softly, and said secretly in his heart: "During the Wanli period, the Ming Dynasty began to lose frequently in Liaodong, losing a large area of ​​territory and cities. to pass.

It's just that the land in the Gyeonggi area is rare.

Especially in the suburbs of Beijing, Tongzhou, Sanhe and other places, most of the fertile land and high-quality irrigated land are under the names of dignitaries.

Where is there any extra land to house these bankrupt Liao people?

Therefore, most of them are arranged in the Jingdong area, that is, Yongping, Jizhou Town and other areas adjacent to Shanhaiguan.

In the second year of Chongzhen, Jianlu invaded Daming Pass, and the main areas of invasion were also concentrated in Jizhou Town and Yongping. Go ahead, it's hard enough. "

Thinking of the Emperor Chongzhen here, he stood up and said bluntly that in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, the basic situation that must be completely controlled, and all places under the rule of Beizhili must be properly resolved.

In the eyes of relatives, officials, big landlords, and small landlords, Daming was a place where they made profits and enriched their small families.

But for Emperor Chongzhen, the entire Ming Dynasty belonged to him, and now he had no choice but to control the entire Ming Dynasty.

Then the only option is to take control of the entire Beizhili and build a solid foundation.

Except for earthquakes and snow disasters, he has no way to directly intervene, but for floods and droughts, he can minimize the disaster as much as possible by repairing and widening the river, building water conservancy facilities, and building reservoirs.

If the situation of no grain production can be turned into a reduction in production to varying degrees, then the food shortage in Ming Dynasty can be alleviated to some extent.

Waiting for the inner court to start building shipyards in the coastal area of ​​Beizhili. In addition to thriving the maritime trade industry, it is also a good choice to organize large-scale fishing trips.

All kinds of fish in the near sea, big fish in the far sea, even kelp, wakame, etc., are all edible.

In the feudal dynasty under the small-scale peasant economy, there were only a few categories of food known, such as seaweed, wakame and other marine plants that were eaten by the whole people, which had not yet formed in Daming.

The aquatic fishing industry in the coastal areas should grow and develop. For Daming, which is full of disasters and disasters, if it can have more food, no matter what method it uses, it must be supported.

The fishery can be developed, and the fish bones can also be used as fertilizer, which has an excellent effect on increasing the yield per mu.

The memorial presented by Lu Xiangsheng made Emperor Chongzhen decide in his heart that the shipyard led by the inner court must be built immediately.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

When they came to the Military Aircraft Department, Wang Qia and Wang Zaijin bowed their hands together, and they also had some doubts about the arrival of Emperor Chongzhen.

With the clarification of the cabinet, generally there is no important matter, and the emperor will not come to the military aircraft department.

"Excuse me."

Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand and said: "You two Qing families, come and take a look at the memorial submitted by Lu Qing. I think it is necessary to reopen the Jingdong Tuntian.

But for how to do this matter, Guochao still needs to discuss a charter. It cannot be said that the matter is settled, but the actual responsible officials are not in the Jingdong area. "

Wang Qia and Wang Zaijin looked at each other with doubts on their brows. Under Wang Zaijin's signal, Wang Qia stepped forward and took the memorial from the emperor.

The two gathered together and watched.

It's just that after reading the content inside, the two showed different expressions, some dignified and some contemplative. Obviously, they didn't expect the situation in Jingdong to be so severe.

Previously, Guochao did not receive any news.

It's true that there are down-to-earth officials in Ming Dynasty, but more of them are mediocre and lazy!
Adhering to the principle that one thing more is worse than one thing less, who would make trouble for themselves if they have nothing to do?

"This memorial from Lu Qing has reminded me."

Emperor Chongzhen frowned and said: "Although there is a lot of grain stored in Jingtong's second warehouse, including the internal money, if it only goes out but not in, there will be big problems sooner or later.

In particular, the Liao people in Pidao and other places also moved from various places to Huangzhuang under the name of the inner court. However, how many people are called Beizhili, and the production of food is also a matter that the court should pay attention to.

Seeing that spring plowing is imminent and food is not guaranteed, it will also affect the army guarding everywhere.

Previously, the Military Aircraft Department was in charge of rectifying the guards involved in Yongping Mansion and Shuntian Mansion. They did a good job, and those guards were turned into focusing on production.

I have an idea, can it be applied to Jingdong Tuntian?

The matter of garrisoning fields in Jingdong will no longer be handed over to the Ministry of Households, but will be directly handed over to the governor's office of Jiliao. In those wastelands in Jingdong, Liao people and refugees will be resettled, and a system like a guard will be established, but no corresponding officials will be awarded. Stand up in the form of the place. "

The imperial ration team of the Ming Dynasty was already huge enough, so how could it be possible for Emperor Chongzhen to add more imperial ration teams under the background of his poor family.

However, the model of construction corps and militia is very suitable for the current Ming Dynasty. You don't need to pay for a tael of silver and a catty of grain. In areas where the order is unstable, they can be erected for him and handed over to a certain government office directly under the jurisdiction.

In this way, various matters such as organizing production and construction have become relatively clear, and can even play a positive role in stabilizing people's hearts.
