Win the Ding 1617

After a tearful fight, everyone's focus returned to Li Shouhan, who had just been accused of being a villain for the country and chaos.

"Your Majesty, I also believe that Uncle Ningyuan is loyal to the country, so he must be able to pay attention to the painstaking efforts of the people in the government and the opposition. Come up with a good strategy for the ownership of the customs."

Chen Xinjia, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, glanced at his fellow clan Chen Yan, and played loudly to Chongzhen who was sitting on the throne.

"Your Majesty, this servant also thinks that Uncle Ning Yuan should be left to listen to this matter. Uncle Ning Yuan will definitely find a way to let a lot of the tax money collected go into the treasury, so that it can be used to suppress bandits and soldiers." Wang Dehua, who had endured behind Chongzhen for a long time, knew that if he didn't say a word, the little eunuchs below would immediately defect to Wang Chengen.Originally!What are you going to do with me?

Looking at the eyes of a group of well-dressed beasts with anticipation, jealousy, or resentment, Shou Han first enjoyed it for a while, and after a short pause, he proposed a plan that would turn everyone into black-eyed chickens immediately. .

Compete for jobs!

In other words, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the internal? Wan? Shu? Right? .nsb.om Supervisors are bidding together.The two systems each manage a customs office, and the management takes March as a festival. When the time comes, it depends on which customs office has more money to send to the treasury, and which one will manage it. "If there is too much difference in the tax payment between the two families, then the one with the least amount will invite everyone from Dongchang and Jinyiwei to visit his home to see if there is any suspicion of corruption and leakage. Confiscate his family property and enter the government. All the wives, daughters and brothers are slaves!"

The officials present all cursed in their hearts after hearing this method.Everyone knows that Nanzhong merchants are the most of the goods that come to the capital. If Uncle Ningyuan is ruthless and orders him not to import a single piece of goods to the customs that I am in charge of within three months, the group of factory guards will be fine. Are you still happy to copy my home?Li Shouhan, you eunuch and traitor!

From this moment on, Li Shouhan was given a nickname in private by an unknown official, and it was quickly popularized among the official circles in the capital. "Money String!"

Regarding this court meeting, Shou Han proposed such as the integration of officials and gentry to pay food for errands.Twenty-five rent reductions.The establishment of customs to collect tariffs to raise military pay and other items was really implemented, and only two customs were opened in Tianjin and Denglai.Among them, the Tianjin Customs was replaced by the admiral Nancao eunuch from the 24 yamen faction of the inner court who is now in the direction of Nigu, and the eunuch in the direction of Denglai.It was Xiong Rulin who was given by Huke to go there.After the dispersal of the court, the officials all had their own confidantes and friends, and soon dispersed. Soon, through their correspondence, secret room discussions, and the interests of various small groups and small hills were traded vertically and horizontally. Then they divided their work, and some letters took the boat going south to the south of the Yangtze River, and communicated with the same year, fellow door, community friends and others there, and passed information to make countermeasures.

In a blink of an eye, the news that Uncle Ning Yuan presented to the emperor the strategy of disastrous to the country and the people to search for the people's fat and anointing was spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, and there was a lot of cursing for a while.What's more, they smashed all the small shops selling Nanzhong's goods, not daring to offend those big shops with local merchant backgrounds, but kept throwing eggs and vegetables at the shops set up by Nanzhong everywhere. leaves etc.

Even in the Meixiang Building by the Qinhuai River, there are some idlers who don't know whose money they took, pointing and shouting loudly from a distance, and filthy words like stinky women and whores can be heard endlessly.However, these casual men in bunts met two groups of completely different opponents.A group of scholar scholars who have received Li Zhenli's favor for many years and received food, rice, oil, salt, tuition, fire and money from her every month.Although he was not ashamed of Li Shouhan's deeds of fighting for profit with the people, he couldn't stand the behavior of such an idler cursing Miss Li so much. Now the scholars are cursing with street gangsters.The other group completely adhered to the sage teachings of Confucius, a gentleman who is slow in speech but quick in action.The gang members from the Yancao gang, each armed with short sticks and iron rulers, fought the group of idlers. For a while, blood dripped from the Qinhuai River and screamed continuously.

"Damn! Master Li is our benefactor, our mother and father! Miss Li is like our mistress in Nanjing, and these bastards dare to make mistakes, throwing them all into the Yangtze River to feed the river pigs! "

A incense owner of the Cao Gang jumped up and cursed while directing on the spot in the teahouse.

However, Shou Han does not know these things for the time being.

After the court was over, Wang Chengen and others led Shou Han to the side hall to change his robes, removed the python robe and jade belt that was originally on his body, and changed into casual clothes.

"The emperor said that the uncle has worked hard from afar, and today he set up a family banquet in the Cuihua Garden for you and the princess."

The princess Wang Chengen was talking about was Li Huamei who accompanied Shou Han to the north this time.

Seats had already been set up in the Cuihua Garden, and Emperor Chongzhen also took off his crown robe and changed into casual clothes with a collar and narrow sleeves, embroidered gold pan dragon patterns on the front, back and shoulders, and a crown with wings.

Speaking of age, Chongzhen is actually only in his early 30s, younger than Shou Han, but he looks much older than Shou Han, almost like a person in his 50s or [-]s.Her temples, which should have been glossy and black, had already turned gray, and her face was unusually pale.But at this time, his expression was excited, and there was some blood on his face.

Li Huamei, who was embroidered with golden patterns on the cuffs and neckline of a white dress, was proudly explaining the meaning of the patterns to Queen Zhou, Concubine Tian, ​​and Concubine Yuan under the curious and adoring eyes of Princess Changping.On the side, Shi Langyuan stood under a sweet-scented osmanthus tree, looking neither humble nor overbearing at the number one family in the world.

Watching his own woman gesticulating in front of a group of concubines, princesses and princes, talking about how ships used to travel at sea, colliding with each other.The tragic scene where the blood was so thick that there were no feet, the faces of those lonely concubines who were deep in the palace were pale, but their eyes were full of anticipation, Shou Han was quite embarrassed for a while.

"Your Majesty, my daughter was brought up in the army by my humble ministers since she was a child. She was neglected and her behavior was rough. Your Majesty laughed at her."

"Where did Uncle Ning Yuan say that? I am quite envious of your heroes of Uncle Ning Yuan! All your sons and daughters are your good helpers. Hua Mei is the one I have seen the most. I heard that your sons and daughters are all now They are all masters on their own, making my sons and daughters feel ashamed."

Shou Han could only laugh dryly.It can be regarded as finding a step down.

Wang Dehua on the side replied a few words in front of Chongzhen.Chongzhen nodded in satisfaction, "Ai Qing, I have nothing else to do today, but I have a light meal with the Qing family. This is also a family banquet. I didn't let the group of cooks in the imperial dining room handle the cooking. It was Wang Daban who came from cook that he brought with him from his house."

Seats have already been arranged in the garden, and each person occupies a seat.On the table, there are a list of cups and plates, and there are plenty of wine and food.

"Everyone says that the Son of Heaven is rich in the world. You also know my situation. Without Uncle Ning Yuan's help, I'm afraid I will have to live on pawns."

Chongzhen smiled wryly, trying to ridicule himself, "However, today is different from the past. No matter how poor I am, this banquet should be as rich as possible. It is my wish. However, I also heard that the Qing family lived in the mansion. The diet is quite particular, which made Aiqing laugh. You see, seven out of ten things on this table are from the area of ​​Qing's family."

The most conspicuous thing on the table is a copper pot, which contains fish heads cooked in Hubei style, served with dishes, and the strong aroma wafts in the garden with the tumbling soup.Surrounding the copper pot are all kinds of fruit dishes. What Chongzhen said was not wrong. Tangerines, bananas, lychees, mangosteens, rambutan, etc. were all produced in Nanyue and transported to the capital by fast boat.

Chongzhen's youngest son was overjoyed to see the bright red rambutan, and he stretched out his hand to grab it, but the nanny next to him grabbed his little hand and signaled with his eyes that it was not available at this time.

This scene was seen by Shi Lang.The prince of a country, the noble man of heaven, actually admires a mere fruit so fresh. Apart from the rarity of this fruit in the capital, there is only one reason, that is, he does not eat it often and cannot afford it! On such a day, Shi Lang Shaking his head secretly.You can live a poor life or a rich life, but if you can enjoy it, he will never treat himself badly.

"At court today, Aiqing has been wronged a bit, but fortunately, the establishment of customs has been passed, and the matter of minting coins has been handed over to Qing's family, so I just had the pleasure of drinking today."

"My lord, when it comes to the way of training soldiers and managing money, I'm afraid that no one will be able to surpass Uncle Ning Yuan in the whole world. Why don't you take advantage of today to let your slaves ask for advice from Uncle Ning Yuan, so that the treasury can be filled?"

Wang Chengen's feelings for Emperor Chongzhen were very unusual. Emperor Chongzhen might not have the feeling of his father and brother subconsciously towards Wang Chengen.He opened his mouth, the so-called asking for advice may not be without the element of agreement between the master and the servant.

Shou Han pondered for a while, and took a piece of pastry from the table. "Your Majesty, my lord, this is the land, forest, wealth and taxation of my Ming Dynasty." After finishing speaking, he broke it open and took a small piece, "This is my Ming gentry, civil and military official, and a scholar. Big merchants, royal families, nobles, and the country's great kindness, this is what they pay in taxes." He held up the small piece of cake.Signaled to Chongzhen to see.

"However, the wealth they possess is this." Shou Han raised the big piece with his other hand.

"As for the common people in the world, the number is large, but the wealth in their hands is small, but the taxes and food they pay are large. Over the years, the trend of investment has been hot, and the source of national wealth and taxation has decreased. Business taxes have also been reduced. After many years of evils, today's disasters are possible. If it were not for the lack of wealth and taxation, the rebels in Liaodong would be no different from Yang Yinglong in Bozhou and She Chongming in Shuixi. How can we not wipe out the old slave?!"

Hearing what Shou Han said, the eyes of Chongzhen Wang Chengen, the master and servant, were immediately darkened. If this is really done, then the lightest thing is that after Ming Wuzong fell into the water, at the age of just 30 years old, he was able to go into battle and kill the Mongolian cavalry with his own hands. The body with a severed head died, and the most serious thing is that another civil engineering change must be planned intensively.At that time, it is not necessarily whose descendants will inherit the great rule.

With no choice but to change the subject, Chongzhen returned to whispering and laughing with a group of concubines.Li Huamei's body trembled like a flower branch.

Chongzhen nodded approvingly, and sighed: "It is said that giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou, and I think giving birth to a daughter should be like Li Huamei. It's a pity that my daughters are reluctant to talk about women's red poetry, calligraphy and painting. If they talk about worrying about the country Sharing the burden for the father is nothing. Uncle Ning Yuan, I really envy you!"

Hearing these words, Princess Changping and Princess Zhaoren, who were listening enthusiastically to Li Huamei's anecdotes about their life at sea, immediately changed their expressions, and hurriedly got up and left their seats, knelt down in front of their father and declared their guilt.And behind them, Queen Zhou, who raised them, also apologized endlessly.

Seeing this, Li Shouhan quickly knelt down and said he didn't dare.

"I'm just joking. Why do you guys do this? I said earlier that today is a family feast. You don't have to stick to etiquette." Chongzhen frowned.Woke up his wife and daughter.

In such a situation, it is natural that this meal can no longer be eaten.He simply led Shou Han for a walk in the Cuihua Garden. Behind him, Wang Chengen, Li Huamei, Shi Lang and others followed closely.

"Princess Hejing. I heard that you joined the army as a young man. When you cross the sea, you cheer for joy every time you hear the sound of cannons. The color is joyful. Wherever you go, the enemies are all fleeing. It is said that Zheng Zhilong from Fujian was also defeated by you at sea. Is there such a thing?"...

"If you go back to the emperor, the eldest lady is indeed invincible at sea. Even a humble minister once overestimated his ability to hunt with the eldest lady at sea. In the end, it ended in a disastrous defeat." Shi Lang, who was behind Chongzhen, was very witty and applauded Chongzhen. .

But Li Huamei curled her lips after hearing this and said: "Your Majesty, my servant also wants to fight on land, but my father always said that Li Huamei should fight across the seven seas, saying that girls belong to the sea, not to the land. But the servant I also want to share my father's worries, and I also want to capture the flag on land."

As for Li Huamei's robbing Shi Lang, Wang Chengen, who has long been an old fox in the world, saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart. The pair of young children were simply enemies in the previous life.Just as he was about to find a reason to turn the topic to the military situation in Liaodong and other places, a young eunuch hurried over from outside the garden and whispered something in his ear.

"My lord, Uncle Ning Yuan, just received an urgent military report."

Wang Chengen regained his composure, and communicated with Chongzhen and Li Shouhan who were watching him with a dry voice.

"The governor of Shandong urgently reported that Abatai went south along the canal and had fled into Shandong. In Shandong, Li Qingshan and Xu Hongru's remnant party rebelled, cut off the canal, and the water transportation was blocked. The emperor, the slaves also learned from Henan officials a few days ago that Li Chuang It is very urgent to attack Kaifeng with Luo Rucai's 50 elites and hundreds of cannons day and night. If there is something wrong with Kaifeng, Kaifeng is an important place for feudal vassals. If it falls into the hands of a bandit, this beast will definitely become even more aggressive. If the Liao bandit and the Liu bandit join together, then there will be no peace in the world!"

"Uncle Ning Yuan, I invite you into the palace today to have a practical discussion on the strategy of suppressing thieves. From what you see, how should we deal with the three places in Liaodong, Shandong, and Henan?"

"Your Majesty, I also said before that the root cause of the rebellion is not the suppression of the bandits, but the finances. If my Daming treasury is full, the bandits will not be suppressed. Therefore, the bandits are only a disease of scabies. And Aba Taisuo's tribe went south to plunder, although its momentum was quite large, but Yichen saw from various military newspapers that there were only more than a thousand real slaves and more than ten thousand rebels. His tribe was nothing but slave chieftain Huang Taiji They were sent out to force my Ming court to divide up its troops, to attract our attention and consume our extremely precious rations!"

"The current battle has reached the point where both the enemy and the enemy will run out of fuel. It depends on who can last until the end. Now, Governor Hong has firmly attracted the main force of the rebels in Liaodong to the front line of Guangning , as long as the pine brocade is not lost, the Liao thieves will be in chaos, after all, Huang Taiji is almost unable to hold on, and it is reported that in order to save food, this thief has been reduced to the point where he only eats one meal a day."

"In my opinion, I will lead my troops to Jinzhou to reinforce Governor Hong. In order to determine Liaodong in the first battle. Then, don't send an army, please select the elite from the Beijing camp and go to Shandong to deal with it. Abatai, in case there is a loss in Shandong. If necessary, I suggest that you drive the bandits into Henan and let the Liao bandits and Liu bandits live side by side. The two are bound to fight. Your Majesty can accept Bianzhuang's work of stabbing the tiger. If your Majesty still Worrying about Henan's loss, I have someone to recommend."

"Uncle Ning Yuan's vision must be good. I wonder which minister it is?" Wang Cheng'en next to him asked eagerly.

"It was Sun Chuanting, the governor of Baoding, Shandong, and Henan military affairs. He also had letters and correspondences with my ministers that day, and I know that he has a lot of experience in dealing with thieves. If he is re-promoted by the emperor's grace, the ministers dare not Saying that he can quell the bandits, at least he can deal with the bandits in Henan and other places to buy some time for our Ming court."

Chongzhen hesitated for a moment, thought for a while, and thought that this method of defending the Han Dynasty was appropriate. Although military newspapers from all over the place were flying like snowflakes, the matter of Liao thieves was the most important thing, and he was still clear about this reason.Just as he was about to agree, he heard Li Huamei's crisp voice saying: "Your Majesty, father, I have a suggestion from my servant. It's better for me and Shi Lang to lead the troops to Jinzhou to make a stand for the father and commander in order to stabilize the Liaodong army. Father Take a team to Shandong to pacify the slave Abatai, and then go north from Denglai to Liaodong."
