125 Whoever commits the great golden power will be punished
Fan Wencheng took the lead, and was the first to catch up with the fleeing Ming army, and the spear in his hand was sent forward, which resulted in the other party's life. In the process, he didn't even look at it, and as he handed out the spear, his eyes were already on the next target.
After a while, he had rushed into the Ming army, rushing left and right, like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, with a wave of his claws and a bite of his sharp teeth, he took away one life after another.
One of the housekeepers saw that he could not escape, so he threw away his sword and surrendered on his knees. When the others saw it, they followed suit, hoping to save their lives.
However, it backfired, and I only heard Fan Wencheng shouting in Manchu: "Kill them all, don't leave one, kill one to make an example, and those who commit Dajin Tianwei will be punished!" ”
When the Jurchen Tartars behind him heard this, they immediately smiled one by one, followed him, and continued to greet the Ming army with their blades, allowing the war horses to kick and trample on the Ming army on the ground, which was really like a slaughterhouse.
After about half an hour, Fan Wencheng almost killed the Ming army that came to attack the city, and the blood flowed like a river, and the corpses were all over the field.
Against the backdrop of this background, Fan Wencheng returned triumphantly, and when he saw the Jianyu Counselor General Ying Erdai smiling and greeting him under the city, he hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, and after walking a few steps quickly, a thousand dozen went down, and at the same time said in fear: "How dare the students come to pick up the adults, it is really a torture to kill the students!" ”
"Hehe, Xiandou doesn't have to be too humble. Ben Jiang can see clearly at the head of the city, Xian Dou killed the Ming army, it is indeed like killing a chicken and a dog, and it is worth Ben General to pick it up in person. Inordai smiled and motioned for him to get up, as she spoke.
"It is the student's duty to work for Daikin!" After Fan Wencheng answered, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then went into the city together.
In the afternoon, in the Wenhua Hall of the Forbidden City in Beijing, Hu Guang sat on the throne, looked at the courtiers below and said: "According to the report of Manqing, Jianyu seems to have the intention of retreating. What are your suggestions for the resettlement of refugees, post-disaster reconstruction, pensions and rewards for soldiers, etc.? ”
All of this can be summed up as a matter of money and food. If you have money and food, then everything is not a problem.
Wen Tiren, as the first assistant, the new celebrity in front of the emperor, had to be the first to speak: "Your Majesty, the minister has just gone to the household department, and there is nothing." Next year's tax revenue will have to wait for the summer grain to be collected. Even if other taxes are to be collected, I am afraid that it will not be available for a while. ”
When it comes to this problem of money and food, whether it is the emperor or a few people here, they all have a headache.
Hu Guang can understand Wen Tiren's difficulties, after all, he has only become the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that it takes time to be familiar with this work, even if it takes time to formulate new policies, for a while, there is definitely no hope on his side.
Hu Guang nodded tolerantly, then turned his head to look at Cao Huachun, the governor of Dongchang, who was also seated, and asked, "Cao Daban, what is the amount of money and grain paid by the various prefectures in the city, and can there be any left?" ”
"Your Majesty, yesterday was the battle of Jingshi Deshengmen, and our army won a great victory. Many prefectures originally set people to pay money and grain, but they have changed to not pay money and grain. Therefore...... Therefore, I am afraid that there is not much money and food left here, and at most I can give compensation to the soldiers who died in the battle at the head of the capital division a few days ago. Cao Huachun stood up and replied respectfully.
When Hu Guang heard this, he sighed in his heart, yes, this is still a side effect of winning the war.
Speaking of which, these people are greedy for life and afraid of death, so they used money and food instead at the beginning; Now that I found that the war was not as fierce as I imagined, and it seemed that there would be no problem, I was reluctant to pay for food and money, and would rather contribute.
Hu Guang thought of this, and immediately ordered: "You can't cheapen them, these things that were later changed will be let them do hard work and heavy work, and let them give this strength well." ”
"Slave obeys!" Cao Huachun listened, and hurriedly agreed, with the prestige and ability of the East Factory, it was no problem to do this thing.
Hu Guang did this, in fact, he was just venting his emotions, but it was not helpful for the things to be solved at present.
"Your Majesty, it's the incompetence of the ministers, please punish Your Majesty!" Wen Tiren saw Hu Guang frowning and embarrassed, so he had to stand up and plead guilty.
There are also two other cabinet members in the palace, namely the auxiliary ministers Cheng Jiming and Zhou Yanru. But they were there, and they didn't speak. Seeing that Wen Tiren was up, they followed suit and echoed Shousuke's words.
In the original history, the imperial court also had no money, and finally promised Qin Wangjun's pensions, rewards, etc., all of which were delayed again and again, but they were all delayed, which further reduced the prestige of the imperial court, and also lowered the combat effectiveness of the Ming army to a higher level, causing a series of reactions.
Hu Guang waved his hand to the courtiers below and said, "There is no need to do this, I don't want to punish anyone, the most important thing is to solve the problem." ”
Cheng Jiming and Zhou Yanru listened, and glanced at each other imperceptibly, and there seemed to be a signal in their eyes. Then, I heard Zhou Yanru bow down and play: "Your Majesty, the grain stored in Tongzhou has been burned, and after this Jianyu retreats, the most urgent plan is afraid that it is the food problem of the Beijing Division!" ”
Well, that's another big problem! Hu Guang listened and immediately asked, "Does Zhou Qing have a good plan?" ”
"Your Majesty, finance and taxation are the strengths of the first assistant, and the ministers are not as good as the first assistant, so they dare not speak falsely!" Zhou Yanru looked modest and respectful, but secretly handed over a nail.
Hu Guang sneered in his heart when he heard this, this was jealous of seeing that he had directly promoted Wen Tiren to be the first assistant. He didn't poke it either, turned his head to look at Cheng Ji and said, "Qing has been silent, but after thinking about it properly, he came up with a good plan?" ”
"The minister is guilty, and there is no good plan yet." Cheng Jiming looked panicked and bowed his head and replied.
How Wen Tiren didn't know that the two of them were in their own army, and wanted to embarrass and make a fool of themselves, thus ruining the emperor's trust.
Without waiting for the emperor to ask, he opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the only way to respond to emergencies now is to send additional troops from all major grain-producing provinces, and after the imperial court recovers, the corresponding taxes will be exempted." ”
This, in fact, is a way to eat grain, which is a way to do no choice.
Hu Guang nodded and said, "Yes, but if you wait for compensation in the future, I'm afraid it will affect the lives of the people." In this way, according to the practice of opening the Chinese law, this time there are new people who pay grain, and the salt is compensated! ”
As soon as he said this, he immediately shocked several people present. Wen Tiren first frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the salt tax is the most important thing in the imperial court, if you open more salt at this time, I am afraid that it will affect the salt tax revenue." ”
This time, Cheng Jiming and Zhou Yanru didn't watch the play anymore, and hurriedly stood up and echoed: "What Shoufu said is extremely true, Your Majesty, the salt administration is already saturated, if you open the salt introduction again, it will definitely affect the salt tax revenue, and you can't do it!" ”
If Wen Tiren was not so sure, the two of them would have been decisive.
In this Wenhua Palace, except for Cao Huachun, the eunuch, the three Wenchen all opposed this matter, which made Hu Guang frown.
