In March of the third year of Chongzhen, Li Tianyang was raised in the court to recruit Lord Nanjuyi, and at this time he was promoted from the household servant to the secretary of the Ministry of Works.

Nan Juyi's ascension may not be a good thing for Li Tianyang and Hongmen, although the position of the left servant of the household department in the court is equally important, but in fact, compared to the Ministry of Industry Shangshu, which is now at the top of the first department, Li Tianyang and his Hongmen at this moment may not be able to be cited as heavy reinforcement by Nan Juyi.

At this time, there were many officials who were newly appointed as Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, so that Nan Juyi, who took advantage of the change of his own power, had room to choose left and right.

But fortunately, Li Tianyang didn't actually need this Lord Shangshu to do anything, just asked him to report on the political affairs of the court, which was just a gesture for Lord Nanju Yibutang.

And after this incident of King Qin, Li Tianyang and their Fujian sailors came late to rescue, but it was thousands of miles away from Beijing, and it could be regarded as a loyalty, and under the operation of the Nanju Yibu Hall, it also won a small reward from the imperial court.

When Nanju Yibu was above the court, he had a report on the case of opening a business, and Li Tianyang, who was in the local area, also hurriedly asked Zhu Yifeng, the governor of Fujian, to write a letter to support the case of the master of the department, and donated 5,000 taels from Bengang County to pay the salary.

The so-called open account is actually to invite wealthy businessmen and landlords from the people to donate a part of the silver money to make up for the increasingly scarce treasury in the imperial court.

This is no way, the Ming Dynasty is already full of holes, in order to raise military salaries, the taxes of the common people are rising again and again, and it is unspeakably miserable.

But even so, there was still no surplus food in the court, and even the food and salary of King Qin's army this time, after the war, the court could not come up with enough money to compensate the dead and wounded soldiers, let alone reward the soldiers.

Suddenly promoted to the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Nan Juyi must want to show his face in political affairs, he was promoted from the rich Jiangnan area and understood very well, in fact, the Ming Dynasty is not without money, but the money is in the hands of the major families, landlords and gentry, if you ask for money according to the Ming Dynasty's tax payment method, people have thousands of ways to shirk.

And it is even more undesirable to adopt a tough method, I am afraid that if he sends it on the front foot, he will receive the impeachment recital all over the court and the opposition on the back foot, and then the Shangshu chair that has just sat up and has not yet sat on the hot will fly away, and then he will stop thinking about mixing in the officialdom in the future!

Nan Juyi is not a politician, he is just a politician with some loyalty, so after many compromises, after he took office, he played such a concert to open and donate.

However, Nan Juyi still thinks about people's hearts too well, he thinks that when the country is in danger, these gentry and bureaucrats should also contribute to the country!

It's a pity that when the newly promoted Ministry of Industry Shangshu played up, only Nan Zhili Inspector directly explained the four prefectures of Su, Song, Chang, and Zhen according to the royal road, and the officials of Daozhou County and the township Jindian donated 9,838 taels of silver, and then Nan Juyi led his subordinates to donate thousands of food and wages, and Li Tianyang persuaded Zhu Yifeng to donate more than 8,000 taels.

And none of the ministers and princes in the capital helped donate, which made people feel very sad.

A wave of unsettled waves rose again, this side from the wound of the Houjin Jurchens, even the blood has not dried, and the side from the Shaanxi peasant rebel army suddenly attacked, crossed the river from Shenmu, entered the Shanxi boundary, attacked Xiangling, Jizhou, Taiping, Quwo, and since then the uprising has burned all over the mountains and Shaanxi.

Qi San's recruitment of displaced people has also become easier because of the increasingly loud uprisings, and the common people do not want to be coerced into the rebel army unless they are forced to do so.

In their opinion, the rebel army acted like an egg hitting a stone, and the final result could only be suppressed by the army of the Ming Dynasty, so when they heard that there were rebel army movements around, many people were willing to leave their hometown as soon as possible and flee from this place of right and wrong, rather than be coerced and do the killing thing.

Of course, there are also many difficulties, and the prefectures and counties in Henan, which border Shaanxi and Shanxi, are all ready to fight, for fear that the blind rebel army will slip to their ground and cause trouble to themselves.

In order to avoid being involved in the rebel army, even many officials in the prefectures and counties did not even allow the exiles to enter the county and the prefecture, nor did they allow them to cross the border.

When Qi San and they recruited a team of hundreds of people and wanted to return to the coast, they were naturally subjected to a lot of difficulties and interrogations, and in the end, Qi San and they had to spend money to go up and down, and finally they could pass.

On the first day of the fourth month of the third year of Chongzhen, Yin Liu Zong, the governor of Shuntianfu, played Chen: when the first minister Wang Shouren Fu Nanjiang, he carried out ten cards to clear the source of "theft". Today, the Beijing division to the three auxiliaries, where the martial law is located, there are wind and crane police in all counties and counties in the world, the conscription is full of salaries, and the people are not allowed to do what they do. At this time, it is advisable to practice the method of protecting the armor. The minister is imitating the will of the ancestors as "Protecting the Armor", and crowned with the ten articles of Taizu's "Teachings and People's List", which is a total of one series, called "Protecting the People's Training".

This is the Ming Dynasty's so-called armor protection law, after this law came out, the impact on Hongmen's recruitment of displaced people, can be said to be quite far-reaching, if it is really implemented throughout the country, then in a short period of time, Hongmen wants to recruit displaced people as easily as now, it will be difficult.

When Jingshi sent this information, Li Tianyang was ruthless, took out the money in the Hongmen Treasury, and sent more people to Huguang and other places to purchase food, and at the same time asked people to hurry up and urge Qi San and them, so that they could work harder to send another batch of new troops to Hongmen, otherwise they would really let the implementation of the armor protection law be in place, and if they wanted to recruit a large number of displaced people in the future, then the opportunity would not be good to wait.

Qi San and they also lived up to expectations, and in more than a month, more than 10,000 people were recruited from Shanxi, Shaanxi and other borders to send back to Dayuan Island, so that Hongmen even Daxing Town and Jingpu Town began to develop gradually.

In the end, after Hongmen's silver money was less than 100,000 taels, Li Tianyang stopped their crazy recruitment operations and began to digest and absorb these batches of newcomers.

Needless to say, the matter of resettlement and management of displaced people has already been prepared by the Hongmen, and the current mayor of Daxinggang is Li Tianyang's former staff, Tan Songyun.

And Jingpu Town, further south, was handed over to Wu Chao by Li Tianyang, and gradually, the group of partners around Li Tianyang were also able to stand alone.
