Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 571
Under the unremitting efforts of Emperor Chongzhen, a corner of the haze that shrouded the Ming Dynasty was punctured, allowing the sunshine to shine into the world.

The breathless situation has eased somewhat, which made Emperor Chongzhen no longer so passive, especially the rebellion trend that plagued Ming Dynasty, which was effectively limited to the areas of Shaanxi and Liaodong, and would not threaten The stability of the northern provinces allowed Emperor Chongzhen to concentrate on sorting out and making money!
Make money!

Make money!

This is what Emperor Chongzhen has been doing. After all, if he wants to sort out the bad governance of Ming Dynasty and eradicate the corresponding cancer, he needs a lot of money to support him.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the memorial submitted by Elder Bi Ge is not unreasonable."

Sun Chuanting held the memorial and said with a serious expression: "After all, the country collects a fixed amount of taxes every year, but in the face of many food and payment allocations, if the national treasury does not have some money in the bottom of the box, if there is an emergency, then The imperial court will be very passive."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "According to the wishes of the Qing family, the troops under the jurisdiction of the Gyeonggi Garrison, including the three battalions, cannot be paid with newly-made money?"

"This has to be done."

Sun Chuanting frowned slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "The ideas mentioned by His Majesty, especially the promotion of faster circulation of newly-made money, are excellent in my opinion.

However, I feel that this matter can be handled in different levels, such as temporarily distributing half of the new money and the other half in grain..."

"Did the Qing family ever think that if they don't do it well in one go, if the court encounters new troubles in the future, they will let the ministers of the Office of the Government to make a fuss about this matter?"

Emperor Chongzhen interrupted: "Taking advantage of the current situation is relatively stable, let's clarify this matter first, and the opposition and doubts will be relatively small.

If this incident happens again and again, not to mention speeding up the circulation of newly-made money, even whether it is possible to forge a strong army and seek momentum for the complete suppression of the rebellion in the future will become uncontrollable. "

The actual payment of soldiers in the Gyeonggi garrison area set by Emperor Chongzhen was proposed by the Military Aircraft Department and started planning, which inevitably caused a lot of controversy in the court.

The root of the dispute is very simple. If you really want to do this, it will bring a financial burden to the court, and at the same time, many people in the court will lose the opportunity to help.

After all, the actual payment of soldiers has become transparent, and the controllable range has become smaller. In addition, it is still an unfamiliar method, and no one can figure it out as soon as it comes up.

Of course, it is the financial burden that creates controversy in the court.

As long as Emperor Chongzhen can effectively resolve this matter and allow the proportion of Daming taxes paid to the national treasury to increase correspondingly, then these mouths can be blocked in the future.

Sun Chuanting fell into deep thought.

As far as what the emperor said, he really couldn't think of an effective solution. After all, what the emperor planned was beneficial to the development of the country, but the reality was also in front of him.

Dilemma.

This is Sun Chuanting's intuitive feeling.

"According to the calculation, the Qing family has served as the governor of Shuntian Prefecture for a long time."

Seeing that Sun Chuanting remained silent, Emperor Chongzhen stood up with a smile and walked forward slowly, "Under the governance of the Qing family, notable achievements have been made in both the reconstruction of the capital and the construction of the Shuntian Mansion.

Especially in the capital city, with the preliminary renovation of Fucaifang, and then the planning and planning changes of the various workshops in the outer city, the capital city has undergone great changes.

Cleaner and tidy.

It is more prosperous and orderly.

Especially at Chongwenmen Customs, the tariffs collected every month can be said to increase step by step, which reflects the commercial development of the capital. "

"Your Majesty is wrong."

Sun Chuanting followed Emperor Chongzhen towards the outside of the palace, bowed slightly and said, "This is what I should do, and it will take at least 8 to 10 years for the entire capital to usher in a complete change.

At this stage, the achievements of the capital city transformation have not achieved the expected goals.

However, the Shuntian government office is planning to build a new government office for renovation, business and other matters, which will definitely play a positive role in the follow-up time. "

He is worthy of being the pillar of Ming Dynasty.

As far as the current achievements in the capital city are concerned, they have not yet reached the expected goals. Talents like this cannot be confined to the small area of ​​the capital city.

Emperor Chongzhen felt emotional in his heart.

Sun Chuanting's ability is the clearest in his heart.

In fact, during the Chongzhen Dynasty, there were still many virtuous ministers in the Ming Dynasty. In addition to Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, and Chen Qiyu, there were also a large number of pillars such as Sun Chengzong, Bi Ziyan, Xu Guangqi, Hong Chengchou, and Xiong Wencan.

It’s just that on the original timeline, under the multiple pressures of party struggles, disasters, corruption, and counter-insurgency, these pillars of the Ming Dynasty were exhausted physically and mentally, and most of the fate they faced in the end was not good.

"I know the talents of the Qing family."

Emperor Chongzhen restrained his mind, stopped, turned to look at Sun Chuanting and said, "The mere governor of Shuntian Prefecture has made the Qing family feel inferior.

In view of the current relatively complicated situation, especially the actual situation of the national treasury, I intend to add some burdens to the Qing family.

Go to Henan and be the governor.

There are many problems under the governance of Henan, the disaster is one, the government is another, the vassal is another, and the Yellow River is another. Earlier, I wanted to change the governor of Henan, but it never came.

It's okay now.

If the Qing family is the governor of Henan, if the above-mentioned things can be done well, and the maladministration and cancer that have arisen can be eradicated, not only the locality can be changed, but the tax collected by the treasury can also be increased correspondingly. "

"Your Majesty, if I go to Henan, what about the reconstruction of the capital?"

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he suppressed his doubts and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Now that the reconstruction of the capital has been sorted out, and it is starting to move in a good direction, I am worried..."

"The Qing family's worries, I understand."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and waved his hands and said, "But you are worried that the person who will succeed the Qing family will overturn all the decisions made by the Qing family after taking office? Don't worry, this kind of thing will not happen.

I plan to ask Guan Shaoning to also be the governor of Shuntian Prefecture. All the things the Qing family did before will never become useless, and will even continue to operate. "

One emperor and one courtier.

One chief officer and one order.

What Sun Chuanting was worried about, Emperor Chongzhen had already anticipated, so in his heart, he had already searched for a new Shuntian governor.

Make sure that many of the policies that Sun Chuanting has specified can be effectively continued.

Letting Sun Chuanting leave Beijing at this time to go to Henan to serve as the governor of Henan is to relieve the financial pressure of Ming Dynasty.

As far as Emperor Chongzhen knew, the vassals in Henan did not pay taxes on a large number of acres of land occupied by them.

This doesn't work!
Now that the pressure on Daming is so great, the suzerains and vassals from all over the country still have to contribute more. At the beginning, the establishment of the Zongxue and letting the heirs of the suzerains and vassals from all over the place come to Beijing was just the first step.
