In September of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Li Shouhan entered King Qin of Jing.The emperor summoned him on the platform, and the king's prelude was symmetrical.Junxin is very comforted and has been summoned many times in the past few days.

Shou Han served 50 silver dollars, grain and rice each, and the emperor ordered the court to discuss it, thinking that the officials were like.

Shou Han was dressed in a boa robe, with a jade belt across his waist. On the jade belt was tied with a red silk ribbon with a waist plate decorated with dragons and clouds. He stood impressively in the queue of military officers.

What he did made the civil servants in the imperial class point and point, quite dissatisfied.However, when the court discussion began, Shou Han's behavior made them even more indignant.

Although Chongzhen and Shouhan both intended to hand over the supervision, receipt, storage and expenditure of Nancao (the name given by the Sili Supervisor to the grain, rice, money and goods transported by the Nanzhong Army) to the internal supervisor, the Ministry of Households took the lead. How can such a group of people give up?

"The matter of money and food distribution has always been a major national event, how can it be given privately?! Could it be that the money and rice donated by Governor Li are not state property?!"

Therefore, today's court discussion is to discuss whether the Nancao will enter the internal treasury and be managed by the eunuchs, or whether it will enter the treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs and be embezzled by the adults and gentlemen. Oh, wrong, it should be in charge.

It is a matter of their respective interests, and the two major forces have no intention of gradually escalating at all, and they have entered a feverish level. [

You fight for it.It's not right for each to accuse the other.

Only the two parties who are directly responsible for the money and food, Chongzhen and Li Shouhan, are like old monks in meditation, watching their noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, and mouths, talking silently.

After arguing for a long time, neither side was able to suppress the other.The Household Department represents the civil service group, and the reason is high-sounding, which is what we just said above.But what Si Li Jian and others said was even more righteous.

This sum of money and food is the property that Governor Li has given to His Majesty, how can public and private be disregarded?Mix the emperor's private wealth with the state's public funds?If that's the case, is it possible to exchange the chief minister of the household department and the young supervisor of the inner government?

This sentence stabbed a hornet's nest.

The ancient and elegant name of the Minister of the Household Department is Da Si Nong, who went to the inner mansion to manage the emperor's private property.Wouldn't that also become a eunuch?Seeing that a fight between eunuchs and civil servants in the court is about to start again.Xue Guoguan, who had just entered the cabinet, hurried out of work and fired a cold arrow.

"Your Majesty, the Eastern slaves left the customs and retreated a few days ago. However, the capital is dilapidated and millions of people have been displaced. Dozens of cities have been dilapidated. Several villages and towns have been reduced to ruins. I beg your Majesty. Order the ministers to distribute relief to An Lishu."

It turned out to be a request for relief!

This time, the old men of the household department seemed to have been injected with chicken blood.Immediately crying for poverty, he asked the emperor to use his internal funds to relieve the miserable victims who were ravaged by Dongnu.

However, all the people in the inner palace are also tit for tat. "You have to spend your internal money at every turn, and all the wealth of the country is in your hands. How do you need the emperor to pay for the relief of the victims? Is the emperor alone in this world?!"

"There is no king in the world!"

Shou Han watched coldly for a while, and felt that the heat was almost ready.

"My minister Li Shouhan has a book to play."

"Precise play."

"The minister suggested the method of substituting work for relief, so as to comfort the people of Jingji."[

Relief with work?This method sounds a bit new.Immediately, people from the household department and the 24 yamen of the inner government stopped arguing.

"My minister is in Nanzhong, and natural disasters are constantly happening. Nai came up with this method. Every time there is a disaster, the victims will be gathered together to build water conservancy, build roads, dredge rivers and ports, etc. Give money, rice, food, and so on. Come, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone, the public has done something, and the victims of the disaster have also been relieved."

"In my humble opinion, Your Majesty can order Yousi to concentrate the people who suffered from the slavery in the rivers from Jingji to Nigu, Tianjin, and dredge and widen the rivers so that ships can go upstream directly into the capital. Not to mention the reduction in the loss of grain and rice transported by the Nancao Sea, His Majesty has also rescued millions of people who suffered from military disasters."

There is silence in the hall, this method sounds good.However, whether it is relief through work or direct relief, in the final analysis, one word, money!Without money, the best solution is just the most beautiful picture.After a while, Chongzhen's voice floated down from the throne.

"Does this method disturb the people?"

Shou Han once saw Chongzhen say this to others in history books.At that time, someone persuaded Chongzhen to regulate the Yellow River. Once the Yellow River was rectified, the problem of bandits in the Central Plains would be solved.However, Chongzhen could not afford the money and food to complete the river project.So he said the above sentence, "Can it disturb the people?"

"Your Majesty, I have lived in Nanzhong for a long time, and I don't know the terrain of the capital and the transportation of grain. Rong Chen would like to ask your lords for advice."

He turned around and made a round bow to the ministers in the court hall.

"I don't know anything about the officials, I hope you adults can enlighten me."

"This river transports grain, how much is it lost along the way? How much is the river from Jingji to Tianjinwei?"

"There are five major rivers from Gyeonggi to Tianjin Wei, with several tributaries. The five major rivers are the South Canal, North Canal, Daqing River, Ziya River and Yongding River. These five rivers flow into the Haihe River at the mouth of the Sancha River in Tianjin, and enter the sea through the Haihe River." Queue of the Ministry of Industry Someone answered.

As for the loss of grain, no one came forward to answer.

Since Zhu Di moved his capital to Beijing, four times a year, more than 300 million shi of grain transported by water every year has become a way for several people to get promoted and make a fortune.

The cost of water transportation is borne by the grain households, including freight, army grain transportation and ship repair fees, etc., which are all collected according to the regular grain plus consumption.The corruption of the water transportation system, coupled with the accumulation of corruption by governments at all levels, and the emergence of miscellaneous schools that increase consumption, the burden on farmers is usually two to three times, or even four to five times that of regular grain.Whether it is a civil or military movement, the carrier is subject to heavy corvee.

Water transportation, salt affairs, and river courses, these three things, were famous gold-selling caves in the history of Ming and Qing Dynasties, bottom holes that could not be filled.However, it also gave birth to some by-products, such as the famous Huaiyang cuisine and Yangzhou lean horse.

During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, the shipping fee for a stone of grain was four silver coins.In addition, each ship will be given four taels of silver to Saishen (used for superstitious expenses), three taels of silver will be rewarded, and one thousand taels of money for dredging in Tianjin.In addition, if one hundred stone grains are transported, one, two, three or four dollars will be given to the reed mat in the dunnage.The regulations on loss rate are as follows: for one stone of white grain (polished rice), one bucket must be reported for loss; for one stone of rough grain, eight liters must be reported for loss.

Such is the loss and freight of river transport.According to this ratio, of the 50 shi of japonica rice that Shou Han paid for, 20 shi of the japonica rice could be eaten along the way in the name of loss.Then there is a shipping fee of 7000 taels of silver, and an expense of seven taels of silver for each ship.After all the transportation, there are [-] taels of reed mat money.

"Your Majesty! The army came from the south. When they arrived at Nigu with rations for three months, they took away the soldiers and horses along the way, and the consumption was very small. It was less than [-]% lost by the river transportation. Your Majesty, I ordered Yousi to summon the victims. By dredging the five rivers, ships can reach the Chaoyangmen Wharf in the capital. In this way, the people of one side can be relieved, and the loss of the southern water can be minimized. Isn’t it beautiful?!”

"Your Majesty, please instruct a division to survey the river, use the winter slack to gather the victims, or contract out the river sections to the prefectures, prefectures, counties, and towns to recruit the victims to dredge the river."

Shou Han talked eloquently there, but Yasai, a person from the Ministry of Household Engineering Department in the court, was like clay and wood sculptures, and he was not angry at all.

The loss of grain and river transportation is at least [-]% to [-]%. These are the sources of wealth to feed them. Once it is changed to sea transportation, the loss of grain is reduced. Who will they eat? !Still respond to all changes with the same.Whatever you say, let me just say, no money!What do you do? !

"I am willing to pay half of the money and food needed, and hand it over to the inner government, so that His Majesty can help the disaster victims in Gyeonggi!"

As soon as these words came out, all the father-in-laws and guards in the [-]th Supervision, [-]th Division and [-]th Bureau seemed to be looking at a huge money bag.

My lords, it's like throwing a big stone into a cesspit, and all kinds of maggots start to wriggle with joy.

The adults of the Ministry of Industry said that the construction of water conservancy is the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry, and it should be the Ministry of Industry that takes the lead in organizing it.The adults of the household department also said that any matter of national money and food expenditure should be supervised by our household department.At least I have to supervise the distribution of money, food and food for the victims.

And the Ministry of War, which was originally out of reach, was originally watching the excitement with a small bench and soy sauce, and joined the battle group at this time.

"Many of the cities that were ravaged by Dongnu were defended cities and fortresses, and they were under the jurisdiction of our Ministry of War. Just now, Mr. Li said that the towns can contract the river channels and call the victims to dredge them. This is the responsibility of our Ministry of War. reason!"

Of course, there is nothing to be argued for in this kind of debate, and we can only wait until the next court meeting.

However, shortly after the dispersal of the dynasty, various inscriptions and official documents flew into the cabinet like snowflakes.

There are Shuntian Mansion, Tianjin Wei, Baoding Governor's Yamen, Xuanda Governor's Yamen, and Xuanfu Governor's Yamen.Afterwards, the chief soldiers of Xuanfu Town, Changping Town, Yutian Town, Ji Town and many other chief soldiers also voted their determination letters to the Ministry of War and the cabinet.

First of all, let me tell you how heavy my losses are, how the victims are hungry and cold, waiting to be fed;Let the people here have a job of selling some coolies in exchange for food and clothing for the winter.

The words and sentences are written more and more gorgeously, the scenes depicted are more and more bleak, and the chests of the statements are clapped louder and louder. In the final analysis, there is one purpose, and they are all aimed at the workers and food.

But when the cabinet and the chief inspector were in pain and joy in the face of a basket full of paperwork and lobbyists (gift-givers!), Li Shouhan, the instigator of this incident, brought three hundred guards Together with Xuanda governor Lu Xiangsheng, they went out of Deshengmen to meet Hong Chengchou, the trilateral governor who escorted Gao Yingxiang who was captured in Zhouzhi, Shaanxi, and who came to Beijing to offer prisoners.

Within ten days, Lu Xiangsheng had changed the appearance of the Tianxiong Army.

Hundreds of personal soldiers are all elite soldiers wearing iron armor and riding horses, but Huang Yishan can tell at a glance that most of these people are wearing the slave armor given to Lu Xiangsheng that day.However, after all, the two armies had chased and killed the Tartars before the pass, and they were considered brothers and allies who fought side by side, so naturally they would not be picky about these.

In the eyes of Lu Xiangsheng's personal soldiers, the Southern Central Army, especially the personal guards guarding the Han Dynasty, were all armed to the teeth.

The best armor is on the head and body, because it is a cavalry.Breastplate and carapace are complete.The weapons in his hands are complete with spears and knives, and there are also a hundred musketeers standing on horseback.The autumn wind had just started, and all the people had already put on thick cotton-padded jackets under their armor, which was warm and comfortable.An enviable five-body projection.

When the two set off from their respective camps, they got the news that Governor Hong's troops had already passed Changping, and the vanguard had arrived at Shahe Town.

Soon, on the official road leading from Deshengmen to Shahe and Qinghe, a puff of smoke appeared, mixed with the sound of flags and horses shouting and neighing.Lu Xiangsheng and Shou Han raised their binoculars to look.The men and horses came in half and half, and hurried towards their own side. According to the banner, it was Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides who took charge of the military affairs of the five provinces of Henan, the minister of the Ministry of war and the censor of the right capital, and the prince and Taibao.

"Hong Hengjiu is here. Wei Ru. Let's dismount too!"

"Brother Jian Dou. Your name seems to be Jiutai, right? Now it is Jiutai welcoming Hengjiu. I, Wei Ru, will accompany you. It will be a good story to spread in the future!"

"It's a good story. However, Wei Ru, you and Heng Jiu have made great achievements and the country, and my Jiutai will be honored."

During the conversation.Surrounded by a group of guards in bright armor and armor, the two handsome flags approached from far away.

"Hong", "Sun".

It was Hong Chengchou, governor of the three sides, and Sun Chuanting, governor of Shaanxi, who arrived.

Immediately there were two people dressed as civil servants, one of them was wearing a big red python suit and a six-beam crown on his head. He was about 50 years old, with a clear face, beards and clothes were neat and reasonable, and his behavior was restrained and gentle.The other civil servant was also wearing a red official robe, less than fifty years old, with a dignified appearance, a square face, a bushy beard, and Gu Pan couldn't hide his arrogance.

It is Hong Chengchou who is over 50 years old. His gentle appearance and demeanor make people forget his nicknames Hong Crazy and Hong Yanwang, which makes people feel good at first sight.

"Who would have thought that this guy would be the biggest leader in the future!"

Shou Han complained in his heart, and turned to observe Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi who came with him, a step behind the horse head.Although this man is from Shanxi, he was born with the temperament of a cold child in Shaanxi, pointing out the country, provoking words, and smiling proudly at princes, but he is arrogant and has the capital of madness. Among the officials at the end of Ming Dynasty, he was one of the most One of the few that will fight.Even at the last moment of Chongzhen, the Shaanxi soldiers under his command almost killed Li Zicheng.

"Hong Jiulao!"

"Lu Jiulao!"

Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou greeted each other for a while, and then introduced Li Shouhan and Sun Chuanting for each other.

Therefore, the three of them had to be courteous again. While saluting each other, Shou Han took another careful look at Hong Chengchou. Although he was over fifty, he still had a fair complexion without any wrinkles. Not bad.But Sun Chuanting has many wrinkles on his face, and silver threads are mixed in his beard.

The standard battalion soldiers and meritorious soldiers who came with the two were even more weathered.The team was chaotic and chaotic, and there were whispers of shouting and cursing from time to time.These people not only have chaotic military discipline, but their equipment is even worse.Compared with the Tianxiong Army and the Nanzhong Army, which are almost all equipped with horses and iron armor, a large part of them are armored, and even fewer of them wear iron armor. Most of them wear cotton armor or leather armor. The armor is worn and mottled, I don't know if it was peeled off from the thief.The horses under the crotch were emaciated, presumably because they were not fed enough grass and beans.

"My father came all the way to the east, and his ears are full of the South China Army! Today we arrived in the capital and met the right master, so we must have a good discussion!"

Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting were about to introduce the meritorious soldiers who went to Beijing to present prisoners for Li Shouhan and Lu Xiangsheng, when a sound like a broken gong sounded from the crowd, they were extremely arrogant and domineering.

Several disgraced Shaanxi generals surrounded by an equally disgraced general appeared in front of the four of them.

"Congratulations to Renlong! You are not polite in front of the two governors!"

"Minister, if our old He understands those etiquettes, he wouldn't be a madman!"

He Renlong grinned rudely twice.

Seeing that the soldiers behind Shou Han and Lu Xiangsheng are all wearing iron armor, all of them are extremely well-equipped.Especially the guards behind Shou Han, both men and horses are extremely strong and strong.Then he pouted at He Guoyong, the leader of the family behind him, "Don't you want to get close to the brothers of the South China Army and change the horse armor?!"

He Guoyong had long been envious of the armor of the horse on the opposite side, and with a strange cry, the servants leading He Renlong's subordinates wanted to snatch it forward.

"Old He! No!"

"He Zongbing! Don't be presumptuous!"

Since Hong Chengchou, the officials and generals in Shaanxi have spoken out, but it was too late, and He Guoyong had already rushed over with his people.

The rabbit rises and the falcon falls.Before everyone could see clearly, He Guoyong had already brought people back.

"Hey! They are all my brothers, so why should you be close to an enemy?!"

But in a blink of an eye, under the command issued by Huang Yishan, 200 guards formed a square formation outside with [-] people holding long guns, [-] firecrackers aimed their guns, and [-] soldiers guarded the horses.He Guoyong could see clearly that even though the gun head cap was pulled off and the dragon head was removed for the firecracker, it was not enough to worry about.What's scary is the two hundred pikemen.

Hearing for a long time that the Southern Central Army is strong, the generals in Shaanxi were quite unconvinced, thinking that it is difficult to live up to the reputation, and the rumors are often added with unknown amount of water.But when they saw it today, many people felt apprehensive.Not to mention anything else, the preparations for battle that were completed in a blink of an eye were not something that he could accomplish by himself.

No matter how powerful the servant rushed up, he would end up being stabbed into a hedgehog!

"Crazy He, I tell you that if you lack armor, knives and guns, you can go to my shop to buy them. For the sake of Hong Du and Master Sun, I will not take your money, but if you play with my crooked ideas, don't Saying that you have such a small number of servants and soldiers, even if you come to a thousand Jiannu white armor soldiers, you can never think of begging me in front of Lao Tzu!"

Shou Han's words, if other people heard it, they would immediately be furious or secretly remember it in their hearts, in order to retaliate in the future, but to Madman He, it was very pleasant to hear.

"Donkey ball! It turns out that the rumors are true! I must make you my friend! Boys! Don't you always envy those Nanzhong armored swords and guns? Master Li promised to sell them to me at a low price. You haven't stepped forward to thank Li grown ups!"

According to the provisions of the military merit reward system in the Ming Dynasty, ordinary sergeants would be promoted to the first level if they killed a Tartar, and those who did not want to be promoted would be rewarded with 30 taels of silver, which was raised to 50 taels during the Longqing period.Those who beheaded six rogues will be promoted to a higher level, and those who are unwilling to be promoted will be rewarded with four taels of silver. In the Shaanxi army this time, the number of rogues beheaded is not a small number, and the officers and soldiers seized a lot of valuables. Congratulations! The lunatic just took this opportunity to go to Beijing to offer prisoners to greatly improve the equipment level of his subordinates! .

A group of Shaanxi soldiers came up to kowtow to the Shou Han in a chaotic manner, saying polite words incessantly, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chengzong beside him also smiled with their beards.This must be what they thought in their hearts.Through the trade with Li Shouhan, the captured thieves and thieves can expand their strength, knives, guns, armor, firearms and gunpowder.

Shou Han looked at the old and damaged iron armor worn by the generals in Shaanxi. I don't know how many armor leaves have been replaced on it, knife marks and arrow clusters can be seen faintly, and there are even a few big holes in the cloak and cloak.Ordinarily, the soldiers of the commander-in-chief's battalion should be synonymous with bright clothes and armors, but Qin Bing's family members and soldiers seem to be disgraced image spokesmen, and all of them have old clothes and armors.Not only can it not be compared with the nine-turn steel armor worn by the Nanzhong Army, but the armor and clothing of Lu Xiangsheng's personal soldiers are also stronger than them. (To be continued..)
