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

In the same year, Shanxi Chief Envoy Wang Weiyi applied for funds for Wu Sangui. He Fugui, the Minister of Household Affairs, thought that the amount he applied for was too small.

This made Longwu Lu Mou very puzzled and asked why.

He Fugui replied seriously: "I discovered that before the World War, a load of grain in the grain store cost eighty cents, but when the war started, it rose to one dollar and two. After the war, it only dropped to one dollar.

The price of flour from the northwest also increased from 8 cents before the war to 1.5 cents, and then fell back to 1.2 cents. But we launched the Sangui War, and the price of northwest flour in the capital rose to 1.3 yuan. Not only did the price increase, but the amount shipped into the capital became smaller.

For this reason, I estimate that there is not much food left in the northwest. If we continue to purchase large quantities at the original price to supply Manchu Wu Sangui's military needs, the price will naturally rise again.

For this reason, I think that Mr. Wang Weiyi is optimistic. The allocation of 500,000 yuan will definitely not achieve the required amount of grain purchase. "

Lu Mou and everyone in the cabinet nodded in agreement with this view.

"Then what amount does Mr. He think is appropriate?" Qian Tonghe turned to ask.

He Fugui answered without hesitation: "Thirty percent, at least an increase of 20%. Otherwise, Mr. Wang will never be able to complete his mission."

Qian Tonghe calculated in his mind and turned to Lu Mou: "Your Majesty, I think this increase is reasonable. For this reason, the minister in charge of financial approval in the cabinet agrees."

Lu Mou looked at the first and second assistants. Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou looked at each other and nodded slightly: "I agree."

"Then the search fee applied for by Wu Sangui costs 200,000 yuan. Should it also be increased?"

The Minister of War asked.

Since the emperor opposes the impeachment of Wu Sangui by the ministers and continues to supply the army, let's proceed as normal.

Thinking about it, Lu Mou actually felt useless. In the 17th year of Chongzhen, Wu Sangui was sent to Xuanda to stop Yuan Zongdi, and he fought to the death for one million silver dollars a year. As a result, if we let go now, these five or six million will not be enough. Someone needs to be sent to quietly investigate this to find out what's going on.

Lu Mou nodded: "There is no need to increase this. Let's allocate the full amount as Wu Sangui requested."

After retiring from the court, he walked into his Qianqing Palace with a stack of memorials. Looking at the tall and dim dome, Lu Mou sighed in his heart: "Wu Sangui, I don't want to be Yongzheng, and you don't want to be Nian Gengyao. Otherwise, I will let him Your death is more ugly than Nian Gengyao's."

A banquet was being held in Wu Sangui's Chinese army tent.

This is not to entertain the soldiers, but just for Wu Sangui to have a meal as usual.

But its level of luxury is enough to be worthy of a luxurious banquet. For example, a dish of duck tongue among more than fifty dishes costs twenty yuan.

There are no ducks on the grassland. The ducks are all authentic shelducks transported through the canal from the south. Isn't it expensive?

The head jewelry of the dozen or so Mongolian women singing and dancing in front of me are all treasures from the authentic Fuquan Jewelry House in old Beijing, and each one is worth tens of thousands of gold.

Without the stacks of strategies in Shanhaiguan, the governor and supervisor looked at Wu Sangui and now he had completely let himself go.

What should a eunuch on duty in the East Factory be afraid of? He has a lot of money now, so he has already blocked his mouth tightly, and has long forgotten his loyalty to the royal family.

Wu Sangui was enjoying the fine wine, delicious food, and dazzling singing and dancing. Suddenly the tent curtain was lifted, and a man came in angrily.

At that time, Wu Sangui was furious: "Which bastard dares to break into my tent? Someone, pull him out, chop him up and feed him to the dogs."

But as soon as he finished speaking, the man yelled the same way: "You bastard, how dare you do this to me, I will kill you."

Wu Sangui was shocked. No one in this military camp dared to talk to him like this. He looked at it intently and quickly left his seat: "Dad, why are you here? Sit down and eat quickly. Someone, please throw away the dishes on this table and find another table."

Wu Xiang became even more furious: "The court is for you, the emperor is for you, and I don't hesitate to lose face and borrow money from the people of the world. How dare you be so luxurious? Do you want to die? What are you doing, what do you want to do? You put What did I call you for? What did you call your brothers for? Are you doing this unfaithful thing with you?" The brothers who came with Wu Xiang were also shocked by Wu Sangui's extravagance.

We have been fighting outside the Great Wall for many years, and everyone has suffered from the wind and frost. The faces that used to have fine skin and tender flesh in the pass are now worn like pig skin by the wind and frost in Saibei.

In order to make contributions and leave a name for future generations, we also gained the trust of the regent and the current emperor in us. We climbed on the ice and lay in the snow, gnawed on the cold lamb legs, ate rough meals, and suffered so much while crawling and rolling. A lot of hard work.

But who would have thought that his brother is now well-dressed and well-fed, accompanied by beautiful women.

Back then, everyone had seen the emperor, regent, and three generations of emperors in power. Their clothing and food were much inferior to this.

Wu Xiang was furious and shouted at the dancers: "Get out of here, stay away."

One of Wu Sangui's favorite tall women didn't know who this old man was, who was like a small serf owner on the grassland. She was so arrogant that she held her neck and choked back: "In the Marshal's palace, you How dare you yell at me like this, are you going to die?"

Wu Xiang was choked by this woman, and instead of getting angry, he smiled: "I finally know why my son is at this stage. It's all caused by you vixens."

Then he turned to Wu Sangui and said, "You still have some filial piety, so kill her now."

In the end, Wu Sangui ran up to his father with a smile: "They are all a bunch of beauties, they don't know anything. It's all children's fault to make dad angry. I'll just tell them to get out now."

After being told this, the woman became even more arrogant: "Why do you want me to get out? I am the most noble person here. You cut off this old man's head to relieve my anger."

Such arrogance made Wu Xiang so angry that he was shaking all over and could no longer speak.

In the end, Wu Sangui just pretended to yell: "Okay, okay, this is my dad, get out quickly."

When he heard that the person in front of him might be his father-in-law, even if he was the most beautiful woman in the prairie, he knew that he was in big trouble no matter how ignorant he was of etiquette. He quickly walked out in despair.

Wu Xiang pointed at her back: "In Ming Dynasty, there was a Chen Yuanyuan who fascinated you, and now there is a vixen here. Sooner or later, you will fall into the hands of a woman."

Wu Sangui suddenly said: "A great man, if you want to be a hero respected by thousands of people in the world, beauties are indispensable."

As soon as these words came out, Wu Xiang was shocked: "What do you mean?"

Wu Sangui smiled and said: "Dad and brothers came earlier than I expected. Let's sit down and eat some food first. I will go to the back to get something for Dad to see. Then you will know what I mean."

Then he faced the outside of the tent and loudly ordered: "Please come over, Mr. Wu Zhimao. Anyone else who dares to come within fifty steps of the camp will be killed."

After making the promise outside, Wu Sangui bowed to his father and said, "Father, please take it easy." Then he went to the back tent.

Wu Xiang didn't know what Wu Sangui was up to, so he angrily asked his nephews to sit down: "Don't let such a good thing go to waste. Let's eat and see what this traitor can give me."

The brothers rushed to the table like wolves and tigers, and ate happily.

After a while, Wu Sangui walked out with a box, but instead of facing his father and brothers, he asked outside the account: "Isn't Mr. Wu here yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there were loud footsteps outside the tent, and the sound of armors clashing could be heard endlessly, and the big tent was surrounded in the blink of an eye.

Wu Xiang and his nephews were shocked.

The tent has been surrounded by swordsmen.

What is he going to do, what is he going to do to his father?
At this moment, a clear voice outside the tent said: "The students are here." (End of Chapter)
