Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 366
In the current Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen Dynasty, the atmosphere was extremely bad. Whether it was in the officialdom, the local government, or the army, there were a large number of exquisite self-interested people.

This makes some of the policies formulated by the state, as long as they touch their interests, they will do things secretly, or simply poke all kinds of troubles.

Regardless of the fact that Emperor Chongzhen is the king of a country, it is really difficult to figure out how many people will recognize him after leaving the Forbidden City, which is heavily guarded, and the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

"My lord... Affected by the refugees from Shanshan and Shanxi, food prices have risen slightly in the Gyeonggi area headed by the capital." Wang Chengen bowed slightly and told his lord.

"In addition, cloth prices, salt prices, etc. have been affected accordingly. Even in Gyeonggi, there have been some rumors and rumors, saying something..."

Seeing Wang Cheng'en talking and not daring to continue, Emperor Chongzhen knew what was going on, he was afraid that the public opinion outside would imply that he was self-willed and unwilling to listen to good advice.

It is difficult to evaluate the power of these visible and invisible mouths, and the power of the words that are fermented by time.

It is difficult to do things.

It is even more difficult to do things in the late Ming Dynasty.

"The convenience stores that have been opened in various places, how long can the stored food last?"

Emperor Chongzhen knocked on the dragon case, squinted his eyes slightly and said, "I asked you to convey the food purchase restriction order, have you fulfilled it properly? Right now, someone wants to fight against me and take this opportunity to make a fortune for the country."

"Report to the emperor."

Wang Chengen bowed slightly and said, "The grain purchase restriction order you mentioned has been implemented by convenience stores all over the country. According to this order, the cheap grain sold outside can last for a month.

In addition, a new batch of raised convenience stores, including chariot and horse shops, began to be opened in Baoding, Zhending, Tianjin Zhili Prefecture and other places.

The slaves also selected a group of young eunuchs from the big insider factory, and they will be dispatched to various places to rule them anytime, anywhere, secretly checking convenience stores, carriage and horse shops, etc., for any collusion with the outside world.

However, my lord, with the opening of a new batch of convenience stores and chariot and horse shops, the shortage of food will increase a lot, and the servants are worried about whether there will be risks in the subsequent purchase of food. "

After Wang Chengen trained him, he really relieved himself of a lot of worries.

The Chongzhen Dynasty needed Wei Wei, but it didn't have to be Wei Zhongxian.

The arrogance of civil officials in Daming, including the forces behind them, has not been completely suppressed.

Before the political ecology of Daming's "Wenguiwuguiba" was not adjusted back.

Based on this core premise, it is very necessary to rely heavily on the huge group of eunuchs and eunuchs in the inner court to help oneself solve practical problems.

"The issue of food needs to be taken seriously."

Emperor Chongzhen restrained his mind, stretched out his hand and said: "The grain that was to be transferred to the warehouse earlier will be withheld for the time being, and it will be dispatched to the place where it is needed at any time.

Currently in this court, there are countless civil servants who are watching eagerly for my mistakes. It is best to make a mess of disaster relief.

In addition, people were sent to urge Fang Zhenghua to ask his Xiji Factory to escort the confiscated grain back to the Gyeonggi area in batches as soon as possible. "

If the power structure built around the new inner court team, especially the East Factory, Inner Factory, and West Factory that holds power, can be used well, Emperor Chongzhen can do a lot of things even if he bypasses the outer court.

Civil officials wanted to see him make a fool of themselves, but Emperor Chongzhen didn't follow their wishes!
"In addition... I asked Xingguo Daily, which I founded, to publish relevant matters related to disaster relief and sell it to the outside world." Emperor Chongzhen continued.

"The storytellers controlled by Jin Yiwei preached the disaster relief stories published in the Xingguo Daily in Beijing, Tongzhou, Liangxiang and other places.

Including the fact that Beizhili ruled Yinghuangzhuang to take over some of the victims, they also actively preached it. I wanted to make their wishful thinking come to nothing! "

"Here!"

Wang Chengen responded immediately.

It is an extremely cumbersome thing to fight and game with a huge vested interest group, and it is pure wishful thinking to want to win the world in one battle.

Under the Ming Dynasty, most of the means of production, including a large amount of wealth, were in the hands of an unknown number of vested interest groups. Even if the Emperor Chongzhen killed them batch after batch, it would be impossible to kill them all.

But if you really want to do this, it won't be long before many bandit forces will emerge in Beizhili, Henan, Shandong and other places.

Since the Son of Heaven is going to rebel, then all the groups under the rule of the Ming Dynasty should follow the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty.

"Sun Chuanting, Huang Liji, Sun Zushou, you must bear the pressure and properly resolve the flood of refugees fleeing."

Looking at Wang Chengen who left, and Emperor Chongzhen sitting firmly on the dragon chair, he secretly said in his heart: "Whether this matter can be done well is related to the stability of the entire kingdom.

No matter how many political advantages you have gained before, if you dare to make a wrong step, the harm it will bring will be unimaginable. "

The longer he stayed on this emperor's throne and the more secrets he learned, the more palpitations Emperor Chongzhen felt.

Under the decaying Ming Dynasty, there were too many mines and powder kegs buried.

The group headed by the gentry controls the cultural context passed down for thousands of years.

The group headed by the vassals controlled many wealthy lands under the Ming Dynasty.

The group headed by Xunqi controlled the channel transportation under the rule of Ming Dynasty...

If there is a little carelessness, it will cause a turmoil that will spread to the world, which is definitely not what Emperor Chongzhen wanted to see.

"Pang Tianshou, do you think we can handle the disaster relief matter properly this time?"

Emperor Chongzhen restrained his mind, looked at Pang Tianshou with great interest, and said, "You said, who can win in this game with civil servants from other courts?"

"The emperor is wise and mighty, and will definitely resolve this matter properly."

Pang Tianshou saluted, and said cautiously: "The civil servants of Ming Dynasty are only the emperor's servants, how can they be the emperor's opponents."

"Hehe~"

Hearing what Pang Tianshou said, Emperor Chongzhen laughed out loud and ignored him. However, for Pang Tianshou who was recently baptized in Catholicism and joined the so-called Catholicism, Emperor Chongzhen was full of disgust in his heart. This person must be eradicated resolutely.

Even though there were many Western missionaries in the Armed Forces Academy stationed in Xishan, Emperor Chongzhen's heart was more or less acceptable.

After all, the trend of thought influenced by Confucianism, and the idea of ​​enlightenment and progress in Ming Dynasty, must be induced by the media.

But this does not mean that the influence of the inner court dominated by the Ming Dynasty must be influenced by the ideological trend spread by Western missionaries.

If this is the case, is the dominant ideology of the inner court of the Ming Dynasty influenced by the Son of Heaven, or by Western missionaries?
