Chapter 371 The King of Shu’s wealth brings four joys to his door!

Only a handful of Ming officials in Chengdu, such as Liu Zhibo, died in battle or were martyred, and few surrendered before the battle, with most being captured.

One possibility is that the reputation of the Wei army spread not only to the ears of the people in Chengdu, but also to the ears of these officials.

Although at this time there was no distinction between subjugating the country and subjugating the world (the theory of "subjugating the world" was proposed by Gu Yanwu during the Southern Ming Dynasty's resistance to the Qing Dynasty), scholars, scholars, and officials also had this vague awareness in their hearts, so it was difficult to fight against a truly powerful nation. The resistance of the emerging dynasty of the Han Dynasty, which seems to be changing dynasties, will not be so fierce.

Historically, when Li Zicheng's Dashun was still in the army, he did so many things that were difficult for the gentry and landlords to accept. After finally taking over the capital, why not let the news spread in many places?

Of course, this is also related to the compromise nature of the gentry and landlord class.

However, there is another reason why there are so many captured officials in Chengdu, and that is that the Yi army broke through the city too quickly. Many people did not have time to think too much before they were captured by the Yi army and entered the government offices.

In addition to the officials, most of the more than 30,000 defenders in Chengdu were captured or surrendered before the battle.

Secondly, Helianyue reported the casualties during the siege.

Even including the process of taking control of the entire city of Chengdu, the Yi army only sacrificed one or two hundred people, and there were two to three hundred casualties who were not in danger of life.

This casualty figure is not big for the Yi army, but it is not small either - Chengdu is extremely tall after all, and even if the Yi army attacked the city for a short time, it would inevitably suffer some casualties.

The last thing reported in the telegram was the seizure in Chengdu.

Of course, this work is not the responsibility of He Lianyue, but of Wang Wei and other military and political officials. At the same time, the military police and Xunfengwei will also supervise.

As for whether these people will join forces to commit corruption - it may be possible, but it is also very likely that they will be reported by the Xiuyi Guards who are placed in the army.

This is another function of Liu Sheng's establishment of the Embroidery Guard after he took charge of Nanjing. He monitored the internal affairs and also monitored the Xunfeng Guard, so that his subordinates and generals would think twice when they were tempted to make a mistake.

In addition, when Liu Sheng ascended the throne in Nanjing and proclaimed himself emperor, he rewarded his meritorious civil and military officials with quite a lot of gold and silver treasures. Unless you are someone who is particularly greedy for money, has poor self-control, and is a bit stupid, you probably won't make a mistake in this matter.

After all, the Yi army had established a system of returning captured finances to the public at the beginning of its founding. It also had strict military discipline and did not have the habit of soldiers dividing or embezzling seized items.

In this telegram, the seizures made by the Yi army after breaking the city are mainly divided into two parts.

The first is the money and other materials in various public treasury of the Ming Dynasty, and the second is the seizure in the Shu Palace.

A total of just over 17 taels of silver were seized from the various warehouses of the government offices, county offices, and even the governor's offices in Chengdu, while the total amount of all types of grain was more than 5 shi.

Don't think it's too much. Compared with the huge city of Chengdu, these two figures are already very few.

Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan Province, and can even be said to be the richest city. According to estimates from various sources, the permanent population is at least 500,000, no less than Kaifeng.

In such a large city, the daily rations consumed by hundreds of thousands of people and the amount of money circulating are quite large.

The Chengdu public treasury actually only had 17 taels of silver and more than 5 shi of grain. It was really embarrassing.

The bulk of the capture by the Yi army was at the Prince of Shu's Mansion.

Due to time constraints, the seizure data from the Shu Palace returned in the telegram were preliminary statistics compiled by the military and government officials based on the palace's account books.

There are more than 83 taels of gold in total!

There is more than 578 million taels of silver!

There is more than 33 shi of food!

The total number of various mines, royal villages, and shops is over a thousand!

The moment he saw this set of data, Liu Sheng couldn't help but think of a word - rich as a country!

At the same time, I also understood why the novels I read before called the Prince of Shu's Palace the richest among the palaces of the Ming Dynasty.

And this is just book data.

Liu Sheng had captured several Ming vassal palaces, and he knew that these vassal palaces were just like the Ming Dynasty, full of silverfish inside. Many managers of Wangzhuang deceived their superiors and misappropriated the property of the palace.

Or they may annex fields under the banner of the royal palace and oppress good people.

In short, under normal circumstances, the actual property owned by the Shu Palace must be more!

After lamenting the wealth of the Shu Palace, Liu Sheng thought of the many people who died of hunger and cold in the world today, and couldn't help but sigh again at the uneven and unfair distribution of wealth in the world at the end of the dynasty!

After putting down the telegram, Liu Sheng immediately said: "The telegram orders Wang Wei to conduct a thorough investigation of all the property of the Prince of Shu. Tell him, don't be afraid to spend more time. The wealth of the Prince of Shu is the wealth of the people. You must check it clearly and turn it over to the public." !

Then tell him that after the army enters the city, they must strictly guard against corruption and corruption. If so, severe punishment will not be given! " The secretariat clerk in the palace quickly wrote a telegram based on Liu Sheng's words. Since it did not involve the mobilization of troops or military supplies, there was no need to send it to the Military Academy for procedures. It was directly transferred from the telecommunications team to a telegram and sent to the Third Division. telecommunications group.

After a while, Liu Sheng said again: "Inform the Military Affairs Council and the Tongzhengyuan about the great victory in Chengdu, and let the Tongzhengyuan arrange the announcement of the victory."

Afterwards, Liu Sheng processed the memorial for a while, and seeing that it was almost twelve o'clock, he got off work and went to the harem.

This time, he did not go to Kunning Palace where the Red Lady lived, but to Zhongcui Palace where Li Xiangyun lived.

Because not only is the red lady now pregnant, but Li Xiangyun also suffered from morning sickness in August and was diagnosed with a happy pulse.

So Liu Sheng also spent more time with Li Xiangyun.

After becoming pregnant, Li Xiangyun looked plumper and more radiant than before. Because I knew Liu Sheng was coming, I asked the small kitchen to prepare a table of meals that suited Liu Sheng's taste.

While eating, Liu Sheng saw Li Xiangyun picking up food for him from time to time, and said: "Don't patronize me, you eat too. And don't always accommodate my taste for this food. You are pregnant now, so you have to take good care of it." Own."

Li Xiangyun smiled sweetly and said: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, so you don't come to Zhongcui Palace every day. Now that you are here, of course I will make some food that Your Majesty likes."

After lunch, Liu Sheng accompanied Li Xiangyun to stroll around the Imperial Garden for more than ten minutes, and took a nap in Zhongcui Palace for half an hour before leaving. He was going to visit the Red Lady, and then went to Tianxin Palace to continue handling government affairs.

After finally leaving Zhongcui Palace, Wang An, the eunuch accompanying him, said with a happy face: "Just when Your Majesty was taking a nap, someone from Jingren Palace sent someone to announce the good news that Concubine Hui is happy!"

"Oh?!" Liu Sheng was overjoyed when he heard that Bai Taiwei was pregnant. He immediately stopped going to the Tianxin Palace to deal with government affairs and waved his hand: "Show off to Jingren Palace!"

When Liu Sheng arrived at Jingren Palace, Bai Taiwei was taking a nap and hurriedly woke up to pick him up, still looking a little sleepy.

Liu Sheng couldn't help laughing when he saw it and said: "You are too big-hearted to learn about the pregnancy news, and you can actually sleep?"

Bai Taiwei also smiled, "Your Majesty has forgotten, I am a doctor, how could I know that I am pregnant? I just had morning sickness today, and I asked the imperial doctor to diagnose and confirm the matter, and then I reported it to Your Majesty."

"Look at my brain." Liu Sheng felt that Bai Taiwei said a lot.

He then thought of seeing a lot of medicinal materials in the yard when he came in, and said: "Since you are pregnant, you should deal less with these medicinal materials in the future, so as not to affect the fetus."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I know the medicine and know which medicinal materials pregnant women should not touch."

Liu Sheng advised, "You have to follow me on this matter - although you know pharmacology, you don't know everything. What if some medicinal materials have a bad effect on the fetus?"

Hearing Liu Sheng's words, Bai Taiwei's heart warmed slightly, and she felt it made sense, so she nodded in agreement.

Liu Sheng spent nearly an hour in Jingren Palace to compensate Bai Taiwei, and then left for Tianxin Palace.

On the way, he couldn't help but wonder if Li Lingfei and Xu Wan would think too much about it when they learned that Bai Taiwei was pregnant.

Speaking of which, the three of them were admitted into the harem by Liu Sheng at almost the same time, and they became husband and wife at about the same time.

But Li Lingfei and Xu Wan were both relatively young, and Liu Sheng was worried that it would be bad for them to get pregnant too early, so he deliberately controlled it.

As for Bai Taiwei, who was already in his twenties, Liu Sheng no longer had such worries, and his hard work would naturally pay off.

In the afternoon, Liu Sheng "worked" in Tianxin Palace for more than two hours. When he got up and prepared to go out for a walk, Ma Jinshui, the commander of the Xunfeng Guard, asked for an audience outside the palace.

When he entered the palace, he clasped his fists with joy on his face and said, "Your Majesty, news came from the Guangdong Xunfeng Guard that Shen Youlong has decided to surrender to me, Dawei!"

Hearing the news, Liu Sheng was even happier than he was when he learned that Bai Taiwei was pregnant in the morning. He couldn't help but ask: "Is this possible?"

Ma Jinshui said: "As long as Shen Youlong doesn't regret it, it should be certain."

After nearly one or two months of waiting, Shen Youlong finally chose to return to Dawei, which Liu Sheng found quite difficult.

So I couldn't help but ask: "Do you know the details of this matter?"
