Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

After careful deployment of troops, everyone was full of confidence in winning the war.

Looking at the monarchs and ministers who were once again high in fighting spirit and looking at their satisfied stars, Lu Mou's breasts grew even higher: "In this way, I plan to rely on the Great Wall to block the enemy's attack at the beginning and consume the enemy during the period. . It will not only consume their personnel, but also their food and supplies. This will be a protracted battle. I plan to start this battle in March this year, and it will be delayed until at least the winter of this year. Carry out a counterattack. Although we cannot destroy other countries in this battle, we must completely consume all of his potential and lay a solid foundation for our next restoration of Liao."

Facing Lu Mou's deployment, everyone's confidence was rekindled.

Chongzhen asked: "Your Majesty's arrangement is very good. What do you need us to do and how to do it?"

In order not to hang myself again, Dad will listen to your orders.

"First of all, in order to support the long-term war, we need to activate the national reserve granary in Tongzhou. But this is not enough. We are now starting to allocate funds from the Ministry of Household Affairs to purchase the surplus grain from the people across the country. We must satisfy the needs of the people in the north, in addition to the motherland. , more than 50 troops, a whole year’s food supply.”

Chongzhen nodded: "This point is very important. As the saying goes, you have food in your hands and don't panic."

"Immediately start collecting all the materials needed for the war to be fully prepared. Especially the arsenal of the Ministry of War must increase manpower to produce all the military supplies needed by the front line 24 hours a day without interruption. ”

Bi Liangzuo stood up: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as the raw materials and funds are sufficient, the Ministry of Works staff and I will absolutely guarantee the supply to the front line."

Without waiting for questioning, He Fugui, the Minister of Household Affairs, stood up and said: "Now that our national treasury is full, I will ensure that there is no shortage of funds for the entire war."

"I ask the government to issue a national mobilization order. All adult men must be mobilized by the government to repair and strengthen all frontline defenses."

This seriously violated the national policy set by Lu Mou that the government would no longer force the people to do corvee labor and win over the people's hearts.

Once this order is issued, it may seriously damage the trust that the people have just barely established in the court, and it will greatly damage the credibility of the prince's governance.

Chongzhen smiled calmly: "It's up to me, the emperor, to bear this bad reputation."

The ministers were surprised that Emperor Chongzhen, who had asked others to take the blame, took the blame himself for the first time. This was truly unprecedented.

But the ministers were relieved. Although the emperor was taking the blame for his son, didn't he feel a sense of responsibility?
What the ruler wanted to say, Chongzhen waved his hand: "No need to say it, keep your generous and kind heart, keep your heart of caring for the people wholeheartedly, the future Ming Dynasty will still need your two brothers to create, this responsibility of the father is still some."

Brothers, monarchs and ministers were truly moved together. After the emperor's order, Chongzhen's bad reputation in the world was finally washed away, and the people hailed him as the Holy King. But for the sake of this country, Chongzhen gave up this opportunity to change his image and leave his name in history. How can this not be sincerely admired?
Lu Mou solemnly said: "Although there is an imperial edict of forced conscription, during the spring plowing in April, the people must be allowed to go home, and the spring plowing cannot be delayed. At the same time, although this is a forced conscription, the people who participated in the construction of the fortifications must be paid. Substitute labor If the money is not enough——"

"I will make up for it from internal funds. From today on, the royal family's expenses will be halved and all unnecessary funding will be stopped to ensure that the people have wages."

Originally, the imperial court used internal funds to spend money. Although Chongzhen tried his best to pay, he was still reluctant.

But at that time, after all, there was no distinction between family and country, and internal funds took up most of the country's income. However, since Lu Mou implemented financial unification, the finances of the family and the state have been separated. The royal family's internal funds only enjoy the treasury, and the emperor, the chairman of the board of directors, is given 30% of his salary as a dividend. But being so generous this time is really different in nature.

At this time, Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou stood up and faced the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty: "Now that the country has been destroyed and the family has been destroyed, we should not only work hard, but also fight against the national crisis together. I suggest that all colleagues no longer accept the emperor's rule at the end of this year. All the rewards will be spent on the construction of fortifications and the wages of the people."

As soon as this was said, all the officials raised their hands in agreement.

Zhang Shenyan stood up and said, "The veteran is old and cannot go into battle to kill the enemy, and he has no energy to fight for the country. The veteran is willing to donate one month's salary to help the country fight the enemy."

As soon as his proposal came out, all the ministers raised their hands: "We are all willing to donate one month's salary to fight the enemy and fight the national disaster together."

At this time, in the corner, a voice that everyone hated the most sounded: "I have a request." Everyone was too lazy to look back to know who it was.

This person is Zhou Kui, the head of the state, who is annoyed by his character and is annoying to others.

During that debt collection incident, the father-in-law and uncle-in-law and their son teamed up to perform a family drama in which father and son fell in love and killed each other. After that, their characters completely collapsed. As a result, the virtuous and filial Queen Zhou spread the word that father and daughter would never see each other again in this life.

But because of Chongzhen's love for his wife, he rewarded her with a courtyard overlooking the sea in Tianjin, and after he was granted the title of Marquis, the abbot felt that what he had done in the past was really inhumane.

Therefore, every time he went to court, although he did not have a specific position, he would still follow him in the name of a marquis. Although no one paid attention to him and he could only hide in the corner behind the ministers and make humanoid scenery, he still hoped to do something for his son-in-law to restore the family relationship and his dirty character.

This time the opportunity has come.

When he walked out, everyone including Chongzhen couldn't help but take a step back and try to stay away from him.

Facing his third nephew who almost strangled him, Zhou Kui smiled awkwardly: "San'er, it was grandpa who was wrong. Grandpa, I know I was wrong. This time when the country is in crisis, I can no longer be so greedy and stingy regardless of the overall situation. San'er, Grandpa, on behalf of your two uncles, I will donate 500,000 silver dollars this time as a national disaster subsidy, and I ask San’er to accept it.” After saying this, he covered his face and began to cry.

This time, he was no longer worried about money, but really regretted it.

Lu Mou and Chongzhen knew that 500,000 yuan was almost all the chattels of the father-in-law and his family.

Before Lu Mou could say anything, Chongzhen felt soft in his heart: "Since this is the case, I would like to thank you. After the court is over, go to Wanshou Mountain to meet the Queen of Zhou. She, she dreams about her parents."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Kui couldn't help but burst into tears. He couldn't wait to say goodbye, went home to pick up his old wife, and climbed Longevity Mountain together to meet father and daughter.

Zhou Kui took the lead, and many ministers asked for donations again, but they were all declined by Chongzhen and his son.

But this time, Chongzhen was moved by the performance of the ministers, really moved.

I think of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen's reign. It was also the time when the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, and officials were disloyal and indifferent. I also asked for donations from the ministers, but no one responded. However, looking at today, the ministers are united in the same hatred and take the initiative to donate generously. How could there be a world of difference between this moment and that moment?
Looking at San'er, under his operation, it was not just a crisis situation that was changed, but also the hearts of the monarchs and ministers, and the hearts of the people of the world.

Standing up, facing the ministers, holding back tears from the bottom of his heart, he held his hands high and thanked them.

When the ministers saw this, they all knelt down and returned the favor.

Chongzhen wiped his eyes and said with a smile: "Now that the national treasury is abundant and the internal funds are abundant, there is no need for donations from officials. Even if funds are tight, I think the regent has the means and ability to solve it."

The ministers looked at the grim-faced regent, nodded firmly together, imitating Lu Mou's tone, and said in unison: "For this, we firmly believe."

Lu Mou staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Chongzhen once again stood on top of Danque and declared loudly and confidently: "From today, from now on, all of you, dear ministers, and the ruling and auxiliary ministers will work together to fight against the national calamity.

The assistant government focuses on military affairs, and the governor focuses on domestic affairs. All for war, all for victory. When I come out again, I will do nothing else but supervise the work of all my beloved ministers. If there is any slack and delay in state affairs, I will be severely punished based on my original bad temper. "

This position is most suitable for Chongzhen. Thinking about what he did back then, his notoriety made all the officials run into a rage at work. (End of chapter)
