Emperor Wanli was very worried, he had forgotten how long it had been since he had felt this way.

I don't know why, poverty surrounds me.

And he has a feeling that poverty will stay with him for a long time in the future.

"Zhu Yiyi and Shi Li, do you two know why there are always faint kings in this world? I know. ”

On the way to Qinghua Garden, the emperor said to himself to the two younger brothers on horseback: "Because it is too expensive to be a Ming monarch!" ”

How much money did Emperor Daojun spend on refining a pill? Emperor Wuzong was dissolute and loved freedom, so how much money did he spend? Emperor Xianzong only spent a lot of money domesticating wild beasts? How much did Emperor Xuanzong spend to tease a cricket? Emperor Renzong likes to eat something and only spend a few dollars?

How much does it cost to educate the people of the world? How much does it cost to build a railway to facilitate frontier transportation?

It is not enough to spend the money that the ancestors have spent on their personal hobbies for several lifetimes.

"If I'm short on money, I really want to get all these generals who ask the court for war, and let me go...... Gifts. ”

Wanli rode a high-headed horse and walked around, wearing a helmet and armor through the streets and alleys under the escort of the Imperial Forest Army, leading the people in Beijing to watch from afar, of course, such an opportunity is not available every day, most of the time before he could sneak a glimpse of the emperor's appearance, he was driven aside by the Imperial Forest Army.

If you think about it, all that's left is the various flags from beginning to end.

He is comfortable, but he suffers from the two little brothers who follow the butt all day long, these two little guys are twelve and thirteen, and the Son of Heaven does not sit in a sedan chair, and they naturally have to ride horses, and the two little radishes sit on the back of a tall mixed-breed horse and can't reach the stirrups, and they are terrified all the way.

"Your Majesty, the minister is here!"

The cautious Buta Shili heard the emperor call him, and hurriedly replied, so he heard Wanli say in front of him: "Don't think about it, I mean to let the generals go out of the jam and kill all the people who may disobey you in the future, but not let them attack Tumochuan." ”

Butashri really didn't think much of it.

He was born in the Jin Kingdom, and his understanding of Mongolian affairs was not complete enough, but now he has lived in the Ming Dynasty for so long, and he wears a hairscarf when he hears and sees it all day long, and his eyes are all about the map of the world in the military room, especially with such an emperor who opens his mouth and closes his mouth to make the seven seas and eight wildernesses have the same customs...... Guess what he thinks when he mentions Mongolia?

"You said that your eldest brother is too, the dynasty has prepared a state funeral for the king of Shunyi, and he has already sent a message to him, he doesn't come or say it, he doesn't enter Guihua City, and he doesn't come to Beijing City, and he takes his soldiers to the east, what good things are there in the east?"

"Big brother?"

Buta Shili doesn't have a good impression of the eldest in the family, he is nearly fifty years old behind Qiqingha, and there is basically a generation gap of two or three generations in this era, not to mention that as Huangtaiji Qiqingha has long had his own tribe, and he has no time to play with him, the impression of the eldest brother in his mind is basically that the family will come back every time the New Year is just a person.

Speaking of which, it's better to be close to Wanli.

"To the east there is the court of the Khan of Tumen Khan, far, far away in the east."

"Did your eldest brother go to find Tumen Khan? Tuban is gone, I really don't know what he thinks, Tuman is so weak that he can't do it, he is not your opponent Tumochuan, and he really fights the king of Shunyi and beats him. ”

Buta Shili was a little frightened when he heard the emperor's words, and said cowardly: "No, Your Majesty, the Great Khan is the greatest Khan, and no one can attack the Great Khan, you must respect the Great Khan." ”

"That was before, your father didn't take the barbarians seriously, and one of the conditions for surrendering to the Ming Dynasty was to let the Ming only trade with Tumochuan, and ignore the Great Khan of Chahar." Speaking of this, Wanli said happily: "Now you don't have to worry about this, Chahar, it's not in my hands." ”

"I will build two railways first, from Tianjin to Wulianghai, and from Xuanfu to Tumochuan." As he spoke, Wanli spread the reins and stretched out his arms on horseback: "In the future, these two railways will be repaired, and then Wulianghai and Guihua City will be connected outside the Saiwai, or further north of Guihua City." ”

"That should be when you were canonized as the king of Shunyi, cotton clothes, cotton pants, oil and sugar, all the army and grain and grass baggage will be transported there, Daqinglong is all fortresses along the way, every spring, the troops go out to the north to open up, to the west to attack Wara...... Ouch! ”

Patronizing and talking, the two hands were still swaying from side to side, and the emperor was almost turned upside down, so he steadied himself and smiled, clutched the reins and turned back to Buta Shili and smiled: "I am behind you, and when the time comes, I will transfer you with a bird gun and an artillery team, and no one of them can beat you." ”

Wanli said that he was excited, and waved his hand excitedly: "If your eldest brother doesn't come again, I will directly canonize you as the king of Shunyi and let him drink the northwest wind, but you are too young, let your mother manage the government in Guihua City for the time being, and then go back to take charge in a few years." ”

Don't look at his excitement, Buta Shili was not excited at all, sighed, had the heart to defend but didn't dare, and thanks to King Xiaolu, he asked him two words on horseback, and then he opened his mouth and told the informant: "Brother Huang, Brother Shi Li said that he didn't want to fight with people, and wanted the people to live and work in peace and contentment in Bansheng!" ”

Sit under one’s own vine and fig tree?

Wanli almost fell off the horse, you don't look like a serious Mongolian who thinks about trading all day long, and you go one step further, and you plan to live and work in peace and contentment?

"The people of Bansheng, like the people of the Ming Dynasty, are self-sufficient in plowing the fields and raising horses, and they are very happy, and I want the herdsmen of Tumochuan to be like that, not to fight and rob others."

This is a direction that Wanli has never thought of, he thinks...... Before his empire reached the time of obsessive happiness, his people were only nine acres of land per capita, and the counties counted the wealth of the people last year, and finally the average annual income of each household was less than one hundred taels of silver.

Not to mention, his statistics are very smart, which makes the originally inaccurate data seem accurate.

Because if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, and everyone will conceal some of your assets; However, relatively speaking, there are more people who do not pay taxes or county officials who hide most of the population in order to collect less taxes; In this way, there is a balance.

Emperor Wanli lives by himself, and he doesn't even have silver, so what kind of happiness do you talk about?

It was probably the wars that he experienced from childhood to adulthood that gave the emperor the illusion that he believed that all wars were profitable transactions.

In this way, a vast land for the people is laid, and the empire is eaten and wiped clean from top to bottom, and the average land is raised to fifty acres, which can be called happiness.

However, he felt that what Buta Shili said was also right, and seeing that he was about to walk to Tsinghua Garden, he saw a large group of people waiting at the door for a long time, so he simply nodded and said to Buta Shili: "What you said also makes sense, since this is the case, let you have fewer people when the time comes, and we will let the elite soldiers out...... Well, let me see. ”

At the gate of Tsinghua Garden, in the sound of 'Meet Your Majesty' one after another, Emperor Wanli squinted his eyes and swept in front of everyone one by one: "Which one is Ding Shiqing?" ”
