Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Daming's bad things, too many bad debts, even a high-ranking emperor is not omnipotent, after all, governing the world cannot be separated from the civil servants.

If there were not many bandits rebelling in Ming Dynasty, but only one Jianlu rebellion, then the financial pressure would be reduced a lot, and Emperor Chongzhen would not show his favor to the civil servants properly while doing things.

To tell the truth, Emperor Tianqi indulged the factory guards, called Wei Zhongxian at the front, and fought against the civil servants in the court, especially the Donglin party members. In the year when the eunuch party started, that is, four years after Tianqi, it was indeed called finance. , got some relief.

However, this method, for the Ming Dynasty, is undoubtedly drinking poison to quench thirst.

Because whether it is the Eunuch Party or the Donglin Party, they all belong to the same type in essence, that is, the old-fashioned interest groups.

If Emperor Chongzhen wanted to be the king of subjugation, he could follow his brother's path, but obviously Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to do this.

"Lu Qing really didn't disappoint me."

Inside the Dongnuan Pavilion, Emperor Chongzhen's approval sounded, "How long has it passed, the Beizhili Disaster Relief Office has been quickly set up.

Under the rule of the Daming Mansion, things have begun to change, yes, yes, it seems that Lu Qing has done a lot of things these days. "

Wang Chengen saw that his emperor was so happy, and there was a little smile on his face.

Recalling the past few days, when the cabinet ministers, shufu, and courtiers headed by Han Yu collectively asked for resignation, Wang Chengen felt very palpitating in his heart.

If this kind of thing really develops in that way, I'm afraid that the Chaotang side will be chaotic first, and then all parts of Daming will be chaotic.

"Wang Banban, is there a secret performance from Shandong?"

Emperor Chongzhen put down the memorial in his hands and said to Wang Chengen: "The idea of ​​the Disaster Relief Office and the results achieved in Northern Zhili seem to be correct.

That place in Shandong is too important to cause complete chaos just because of a flood. The last thing Daming can do now is civil chaos. "

"Report to the emperor, not yet."

Wang Chengen leaned forward and said: "But counting the time, the disaster relief money and food allocated from internal funds should reach Shandong if it is transported by water."

"Then wait and see."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "This time, if the disaster relief offices in Zhili and Shandong can really shoulder the burden, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for the country."

Since the Ming Dynasty, the government offices set up in the central government and the government offices in the localities are all private lands of civil servants. It is actually not easy to bypass them and do something.

Just like this tax collection.

Being stuck by the civil servants, to a large extent, they will fall into restlessness.

Even the ad hoc military aircraft department, to a large extent, will be influenced by the civilian group, and it is impossible to achieve absolute deployment.

However, calling the Military Aircraft Department to take charge of the rebellion can form a unified deployment at the national court level and reduce unnecessary procedures, which is what Emperor Chongzhen valued most.

But a few days ago, the Disaster Relief Office and the Lifan Academy, which were established along the way, had a different momentum.

Especially the Disaster Relief Office, including the local Disaster Relief Administration.

In the eyes of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, this is an illegal organization that is not recognized by the mainstream of the Ming Dynasty, and it violates their interests.

However, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to use this institution to recruit poor students with no future, even students with ideals and aspirations, and even a broader group of scholars.

Asking them to go through severe and difficult disaster relief work, beating and sharpening at the grassroots level, even if there are some who retreat in the middle, even if only one out of ten can be cultivated, for Emperor Chongzhen, it is a matter of steady profit.

If there is another one among them who dares to stretch out his hand for disaster relief food and pay, then Emperor Chongzhen will not have so much to think about when he kills.

The hope of promotion is given to you, as long as you work hard, you will be promoted step by step. If you dare to embezzle like this, isn't it just asking for death?

Northern Zhili and Shandong were the two places that Emperor Chongzhen focused on.

After all, the governors of the two places, one Lu Xiangsheng, one Yuan Keli, and Denglai Governor Sun Yuanhua, are all pragmatic and hard-working ministers.

The local Disaster Relief Administration, which is seized by the Lord within their jurisdiction, will definitely be able to achieve good results.

"By the way, Wang Banban, did Li Zicheng leave Beijing for Tianjin?" Emperor Chongzhen took a sip of the tea cup and continued to ask.

Wang Chengen bowed and said: "Going back to the emperor, I left Beijing yesterday. All the personnel, including the required armor and ordnance, were escorted to Tianjin together, including the secret decree that the emperor wanted to pass on to Dongjiang."

Recently, there have been a lot of troubles in the court and the local area, which hindered the energy of Emperor Chongzhen, but Emperor Chongzhen still attached great importance to Li Zicheng's matter.

Fortunately, the inner court has a relatively complete team, which can help Emperor Chongzhen share his worries, not to say that he is slowing down, which saves him a lot of trouble.

"It's so fast, Li Zicheng left in a blink of an eye." Emperor Chongzhen put down the teacup and said with emotion: "I hope General Li Chuang will not disappoint me."

Wang Chengen was a little suspicious, why did his royal lord pay so much attention to Li Zicheng, a traitor?
Could it be that Li Zicheng can solve all the problems that Daming has been unable to solve for many years?

The group of powerful generals that Daming died in the battle before, can't even compare with a mere traitor?
It's just that Wang Cheng'en could not understand that Li Zicheng's ability to gain the attention of Emperor Chongzhen was due to the possibility of summing up experience in practice with his roving warfare and the guerrilla tactics he knew.

Jianlu adopted a high-handed rule in Liaodong. Even after Huang Taiji came to power, he has been working hard to adjust policies in order to dissipate the gap.

However, most of the high-level officials who built the Eight Banners despised the Han people. When they saw what they liked, they either robbed or killed them.

This also made the people living in Liaodong perhaps horrified by the brutality of Jianlu, too many people were killed, and they dared not resist anymore.

However, the appearance of Li Zicheng, as long as he can survive the initial period of weakness in the black land of Liaodong, the bandit team he leads will have a greater impact, and this will be able to hold back Jianlu's retreat.

"Slaves pay homage to the emperor."

Wang Dehua hurried into the East Nuan Pavilion, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, a group of students gathered outside the Meridian Gate. The leader is Jinyiwei Baihu, Yan Yingyuan, please enter the palace to face the saint."

"Who?"

Emperor Chongzhen was taken aback.

Yan Yingyuan?
But then, Emperor Chongzhen remembered.

Yes.

I found Yan Yingyuan earlier and asked him to look for sweet potatoes in the south of the Yangtze River, but Xu Guangqi appeared halfway, and the current situation was turbulent, so he also told him to forget about Yan Yingyuan.

"Yan Yingyuan is back?"

Emperor Chongzhen muttered.

"Yes, my lord."

Wang Dehua leaned forward and said, "Yan Yingyuan, a hundred households, presented tooth cards and said that he had completed the oracle and found not only sweet potatoes, but also potatoes and corn.

In addition, the group of students gathered at the Meridian Gate was also gathered by Yan Yingyuan on the way to the south of the Yangtze River according to the emperor's order. They all wanted to share the worries of the country and the emperor. "

"Hurry up!"

Upon hearing the words, Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand and said, "Call Yan Yingyuan and the others to enter the palace to face the saint. I want to see them."

"Here!"

Wang Dehua responded immediately.

Emperor Chongzhen's expression showed a little excitement. He didn't expect that Yan Yingyuan was really strong enough to find potatoes and corn.

If this is the case, first let Xu Guangqi lead the agricultural department to try planting in Huangzhuang in various places and cultivate excellent varieties, then the food shortage in Ming Dynasty can be significantly improved.
