"Hey. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Bi Ziyan listened, couldn't help sighing, and then said: "The emperor is worried about the court every day, I heard that the emperor actually cut a lot of dishes in order to reduce expenses, as well as vocal music, and I heard that the emperor's clothes were torn, or the queen mother sewed them.

The emperor is like this, and I am ashamed to be a courtier. ”

When Han Yi heard this, he couldn't help but let go of his fast, and his expression was also lonely.

After a long time, Han Yi said slowly: "The current emperor is indeed a good emperor who is diligent and enterprising, but if there are many things today, especially in these years, the year is unbearable, and local affairs are more than one day.

Outside the gate, it is the Tartars who are making trouble, in the final analysis, these all need silver! To put it irreverently, what's the use of relying on the little silver saved by the emperor! ”

After speaking, Han Yi raised his head and drank the wine.

Hearing this, Bi Ziyan also looked worried, as the head of the household, no one knew better than him what the finances of the imperial court had become.

Bi Ziyan sighed again and said: "Now the imperial court spends the silver of the gold mountains and silver seas every year, but what about the income!" What is the use of a little harvest dug out of that field!

In the past, you can still collect some commercial taxes, but now this commercial tax is getting less and less, and the ministers of the DPRK and China are asking the emperor to reduce or reduce them from time to time, and the emperor is also soft-eared. ”

Han Yi smiled helplessly and said: "What can't I understand, after all, the emperor has not been taught by the emperor, where is the opponent of those people, what can we do if we two old bones are in a hurry!" ”

After speaking, Han Yi couldn't help but say: "That Qitian is not bad, out of the mud and not stained, but unfortunately he offended his colleagues too much, and he angered the emperor several times and was demoted out of the capital. ”

Speaking of which, the two of them are looking at each other and smiling bitterly, they are deeply worried about today's court, and now honest people often can't stand in the court, but they are opportunistic, and the people who shave and shoot horses have to be more reused, I really don't know where the court will go in the long run!

However, he said that after Liu Mao was appointed to the military department, his power suddenly increased, and he had Chongzhen's strong support later, so many rectification measures were soon introduced in order to achieve results as soon as possible.

There are many of these measures, such as all the surveys issued by the Ministry of War, they must be personally approved by Liu Mao before they can use the convenience of the post station.

No matter who the local magistrate is, anyone who wants to reimburse the expenses on the road must be reviewed by Liu Mao. And it is also clearly stipulated that except for officials who retire and return to their hometowns, and those who transmit military information back and forth from various places, and the ministers appointed by Chongzhen himself, other people are not allowed to use the post station.

The purpose of this is to control the root cause and eliminate the source of the evil.

Not only that, but also to check the post station personnel all over the world, especially Shaanxi, who is called Shaanxi has the most post stations and post guards! Don't check who you check! In this way, a large number of post men who worked at the post station lost their jobs.

Among these postmen who have lost their jobs, there is a twenty-two-year-old man, this person is tall, powerful, a pair of eyes as sharp as a flying eagle, and a voice as sharp as a jackal, these two appearances are piled up on one face, that is, this person is destined to be not an ordinary person, his name is Li Hongji, at this time he did not know that he had ushered in an important turning point in his life,

He is worried about losing his job and how to explain to his wife when he goes back, which is no wonder, although the post guard is not a promising errand, but he can indeed support his family.

This food and clothing is not worried, and there is a little oil and water, that is, those high-ranking officials eat leftover meals, you can keep it for yourself, don't underestimate this, this year, a bowl of leftover rice can be exchanged for a happy night!

But there are no days like this, thinking that after going back, a scolding from his wife is indispensable, Li Hongji couldn't help but sigh and said: "This is what a dog who lacks virtue does, and Lao Tzu didn't recruit anyone to provoke anyone, how will Lao Tzu live in the future!" ”

Complain is complaining, I still have to go back home, it's hard not to go back! Along the way, Li Hongji was silent, and he was also thinking about his future days, but after thinking about it, he had no clue, and in the end he simply didn't want to take it one step at a time.

Soon, Li Hongji came to his own village, this village is called "Li Jiqian Village", speaking of this village is also not small, this is the birthplace of Li Jiqian, the ancestor of Western Xia, and the people in the village are also surnamed Li, claiming to be Li Jiqian's descendants, so that Li Hongji still has imperial blood.

But even if there is, it is not a top matter, more than 600 years have passed, and the Western Xia still doesn't know where it has gone, where there is still any light, you can see the dilapidated appearance of the village,

There are more than 70 households in this village, all of whom live in earthen houses and caves, and everyone is clean at home, and it is convenient to go out, and they are not afraid of thieves at home.

As soon as Li Hongji entered the village, an old man in his fifties shouted: "Chuang Wazi, why are you back, isn't it time for you to take a break?" ”

Chuang Wazi is Li Hongji's milk name, because Li Hongji's mother had a dream the night before giving birth to him, dreaming that a man rode a fierce horse into his house, and gave birth to Li Hongji the next day, so he gave him this milk name.

Li Hongji saw that it was his uncle and grandfather of the same clan, squeezed out a wry smile on his face, and said: "Grandpa, the post station lays people, I was kicked out, and I can't work in the post station in the future." ”

When the old man heard this, his expression was dim, thinking that Li Hongji had no job, so he comforted: "Chuang baby, don't be sad, as the old saying goes, the tree dies, the person lives, who knows what will happen in the future, maybe he will find an errand in the future, and maybe he will be developed!" ”

Li Hongji smiled, saluted him, and said: "Then borrow grandpa's auspicious words, Hongji will make a fortune in the future, and he will definitely invite grandpa to live that fairy day, eat endless steamed buns every day, and drink endless old wine." ”

Seeing that Li Hongji's expression was much more relaxed, the old man was also a lot more relieved, to say that although the people in their village were poor, they were all extremely affectionate, if there was a fight, it would be a shout, and everyone would go together.
