"I don't know who Master Hou is talking about?" Shi Bangzhao, the Inspector of the Inspectorate of Dongge University, asked the question in everyone's mind.

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be a ...... named Zheng Zhilong on the southeast coast" Liu Hongjian is not good at history, and he doesn't have time to flip through books, but he knows that there is such a number one person by impression.

"What Aiqing said is that the governor of the Houjun Governor's Mansion is the same as Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Aiqing!" Chongzhen saw that Liu Hong was becoming more and more mysterious, and he began to sell Guan Zi again.

The so-called selling off, pretending to be a stinky fart, and putting it in the future is pretending to be C!

But who knew that this C was not pretended, Chongzhen had long known that there was such a person, and he recruited the pirate Zheng Zhilong back then, and it was still through his hands.

Although Zheng Zhilong has not had much contact with the imperial court in recent years, he himself has never seen Chongzhen from the future court.

But Zheng Zhilong relied on his ruthlessness to beat his former worship of his pirate brothers, and he also relied on these credits from a guerrilla to gradually rise to the governor of the Houjun Governor's Mansion, from a first-class military attaché.

You must know that each book is the second grade.

But a military attache is a military attaché, and in the eyes of the courtiers, he is still just a bandit.

As long as there are no pirates disturbing the people on the southeast coast, the imperial court rarely asks Zheng Zhilong, and Zheng Zhilong is also happy and idle, and never makes trouble for the imperial court.

"That's easy to do, since it's my Ming courtier, the emperor only needs to make a will, ask him for food, ask for a lot of money, well, don't even need to give out silver, this can't be more cost-effective!"

Liu Hong gradually pondered, pirates? It should be very rich, he doesn't believe that this guy can guard the coastal defense for the Ming Dynasty in peace, and not do things behind his back.

No, I have to let Lao Liang check it when I go back! The next time you travel over, you must learn history well, alas, Liu Hongjian suddenly regretted that he didn't study hard at the beginning.

However, what Chongzhen and the elders did not expect was that a vulgar person in their eyes was the real Oriental boss.

Shi Zai: "Those who are not allowed to order the flag of the Zheng family cannot come and go." Each ship into 3,000 gold, the annual income of 10 million, in order to enrich the enemy country, since the city of Anping Town, since then the sea atmosphere is quite resting, the sale of foreign goods, domestic and foreign merchants, all use the Zheng banner, no example, businessmen have 20 times the benefit. ”

With FuJian as the base, through the East and South Seas, and the Zheng family is the Great Wall in Fujian, the strength of the Zheng family's fleet can be seen.

"I am the king of a country, how can I act like this?" Chongzhen glared at Liu Hong.

The meaning is obvious, he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the Son of Heaven, how can he ask a courtier for food and not give money? Where to put this face?

Moreover, to support 500,000 new troops, the expenditure on military rations, salaries, and equipment will be an astronomical amount, how can Zheng Zhilong, a governor of the district, afford it?

To say that Emperor Chongzhen is really a good emperor who is very good at understanding the suffering of his courtiers, but he is often only for the sake of others, and he generally lives a very hard life.

Because you don't know what kind of person you think of is.

If Chongzhen and Liu Hong gradually knew that people's annual income was far several times higher than that of the entire Ming Dynasty, I don't know if Chongzhen would vomit blood, and I don't know if An Guohou would be excited to think that he was a walking money bag again.

"Your Majesty, Weichen remembers the ...... the first two years" Liu Hong has always been open-mouthed, he remembers that Chongzhen asked his courtiers to raise donations two years ago, and he had face at that time?

"An Guohou, let's discuss this matter later!" Shoufu Zheng Sanjun probably knew what An Guohou wanted to say, and hurriedly interrupted An Guohou, this guy's mouth, he owes it too much, if he is an ordinary person, he doesn't know how many times he has been cut off his head.

The Lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the Lord is humiliated by the death of the ministers.

The rest of the pavilion elders glanced at each other, and they were also glad in their hearts, if they continued to say this, it would be them who would have to bear the blame.

Everyone was silent, and Chongzhen probably remembered the past, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward.

"Hehe~ The minister means that two years ago, the minister was still gnawing at home! Today, the ministers are all the emperor's grace! Liu Hongjian also knew that he had gone too far, so he quickly slapped a dragon fart.

Thanks to his thick skin, and Chongzhen knows what kind of goods he is, otherwise if he is an ordinary person, he will definitely be impatient to lift the emperor's scars without giving face.

Such a person, that is, in the Ming Dynasty, if he is in the Qing court drama in the later generations, he will only survive for two episodes.

"Let me think about this matter, and let's discuss it in the next year! It's going to be the New Year now, and the Zhongqing's family is still okay! ”

In such a public revelation of people's scars, Chongzhen just shook his head and did not reprimand.

This made Liu Hong gradually feel that he had been stumbling blindly in front of the emperor, constantly giving him new problems like a child.

Entering the cabinet as a marquis is breaking the ancestral system, and serving as a military attache is a superintendent, and breaking the ancestral system.

The middle-aged uncle in front of him, I don't know how much abuse and pressure from the ministers he endured for his bad ideas.

As for him, ignoring the ardent hopes of the people in front of him, he just thought about how to escape the burden on his body.

Maybe in the eyes of this middle-aged man, he is just a child who has not grown up, Liu Hong can't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Emperor Xie cares, Weichen's family is okay!" Several old ministers also hurriedly thanked him.

Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, after a year of tossing, I can finally take one day, oh no, two days off.

To say that this holiday in the Ming Dynasty can be regarded as another wonderful.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, officials basically had 70 days of vacation a year, and in the Tang Dynasty, officials had a 10-day rest day, which was called the mid-year holiday.

In the Song Dynasty, it was more miserable, with only eighteen days off, and the remaining thirty-six festivals and holidays were to attend the celebrations of various activities.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was simply hell mode.

Zhu Chongba, the founding ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, was an out-and-out workaholic, often working to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.

Mr. Zhu Chongba himself does not take holidays, and of course he does not give holidays to his subordinates, so the entire court works almost all year round.

What Lao Tzu's birthday and Buddha's birthday are all useful, all for Lao Tzu to work!

Later, not only the courtiers couldn't stand it, but Zhu Chongba's descendants probably did not inherit the gene of Lao Zhu's forgetting to sleep and eat, so they had to restructure.

There are three days off a year, the Spring Festival, the winter solstice and the emperor's birthday.

This year, the north was pacified, and the treasury Taicang was also full of silver, Chongzhen was happy, and he was granted a two-day holiday, one more day than in previous years.

This was enough to make the courtiers happy.

But just like in later generations, Chinese New Year's Eve still has to go to work, and there are important events to be held at the imperial court tomorrow.

"Well, that's fine, you Aiqing must take care of your body." Chongzhen's Tao of concern.

"Oh yes, what's going on with the Ministry of Etiquette for tomorrow?"

"Enlighten the emperor, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Ma Shiying recitals, everything is ready, the emperor does not need to worry!" Shoufu Jung Sam-jun replied.

"In this case, you Pavilion Elders should go back and rest early!"

"Wechen retires!" After sitting for a long time, Liu Hongjian finally followed a few uncles out of the warm pavilion as if he had been amnestied.
