Entering the end gate is considered to have entered the Forbidden City. After entering, go north and go straight into the noon gate to the left, enter the Xihe Gate on the west side of the Jinshui Bridge, and see a green tree standing, Lu Qingyan thought in his heart, knowing that he was not far from the destination of this trip.

This is Wuying Gate, and when you enter the door, you can see the destination: Wuying Palace.

Lu Qingyan is a second-class jinshi in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, ranking at the end of the second-class rank. Therefore, the allocated place is neither good nor bad.

His current position is a well-known official in the household department.

Please be blessed by the new emperor's accession to the throne, Lu Qingyan has been looking good recently, and he has eaten and dressed warmly. Although the imperial court has a small amount of money, it can't stand up to the past arrears. Oh, and that's certainly not a good thing. The good thing is that Zhu Cihong actually reissued all the money of the imperial court. As a result, Lu Qingyan, who has only been in the company for almost a year, has a lot more money. In addition, Zhu Cihong counted the Beijing division as a combat zone, and specially added double portions of the capital for all the Beijing officials.

It sounds like a lot of expenses, but in fact, after careful calculation, there are a total of 40,000 officials and nobles in Jingshi, and the financial expenses of Jingshi in a year only need 150,000 taels of silver, as well as the corresponding rice. The salary level of Ming officials is really pitifully low.

For high-ranking officials and eunuchs, there are other ways to make money, and it is naturally not uncommon to earn a few hundred taels a year. But for low-level officials, in the high price of Jingshi, Yulu may become all their income.

Perhaps because life is much easier, Lu Qingyan has been quite low-key and stable recently, and Huke has given a rare silence to one of the six science corridors in the matter.

I don't know if it's for this reason, Lu Qingyan got an invitation letter.

After seeing the name on it, Lu Qingyan suffered from insomnia for a long time.

The top of the head is the Wuying Hall in Bauhinia City. It's just that I don't know who invited it. You know, all five cabinet scholars were sent out. Fang Yuegong, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, is rumored to have been sent by Zhu Cihong to supervise the dredging of the canal. The matter of transporting grain from the south to the north has gone.

Moreover, even if Fang Yuegong was here, he was not qualified to summon the ministers. Especially in the Forbidden City.

With the invitation in hand, Lu Qingyan came to the Wuying Palace. The Forbidden City, which is mainly used as a library cabinet, is carefully cleaned, heavily guarded along the way, and there are few people on the surface. If you look closely, you can see that there are sharp eyes everywhere.

Lu Qingyan was in a trance: "The level of the Praetorian Guards has risen greatly......"

After three sharp glances, Lu Qingyan was finally able to enter the Wuying Palace, inside, there was a crowd of people, and Lu Qingyan saw many familiar faces.

There were not a few high-ranking officials present, even the highest rank, and it was just the Guozi Priest Jiu Qu Fang, which was just the fourth grade. It's just that what interests Lu Qingyan in his heart is what. Come on. They are all noble people.

For example, Liu Tongsheng, this person's fame is much more powerful than Lu Qingyan. It is the champion of Chongzhen's ten-year Ding Chou Branch, edited by the Hanlin Academy. Once angered Emperor Chongzhen and was demoted back to his hometown, he was later recalled to the imperial court and still held his original position, and he was much calmer, and his name was bigger than before.

There are also some officials who have come back one after another, so that Lu Qingyan can't see a clue.

Some are secluded yamen, such as Shaoqing of Taichang Temple and Taifu Temple, and some are white-haired Zhishi officials. It's even more simply a white body.

A room was bustling, greeting each other lively. If you are not familiar with it, you simply close your eyes and recuperate, and no one dares to disturb you on such an occasion.

Lu Qingyan had a cold temperament, but he couldn't stand the heated discussion around him, so he leaned sideways and pricked up his ears and listened quietly.

"Have you ever heard that there have been a lot of new things to be done in the east of the city recently." It was Shaoqing of Taifu Temple who spoke, Li Caishan. This is a stocky official. Taifu Temple is in charge of ceremonial music, suburban temples, and social affairs. The Yamen of the General Suburban Society, Taile, Advocacy, Taiyi, Taibu, Dixi, Zhuci Temple, etc. It's a pity that this young secretary was not contaminated with the solemn temperament of Lile, and his face was gossipy and excited: "I heard that a new sign has been erected there, and you can get thirty acres of land if you go." ”

Li Caishan is very good at pulling eyeballs, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted a lot of attention, and even Lu Qingyan's heart was immediately hanged.

Huang Conglie, Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, who knew a little bit about the inside story, scolded with a smile: "Li Shaoqing is still used to playing tricks as always. Don't come to the land and bully people. You can fool others with this inside story, but you can't fool me. If it is the right time, not to mention that thirty acres is fifty acres, and one hundred acres must be obtained. That was the land that the Holy Lord laid down Liaodong and restored the old land of Phoenix. As long as you go, you can send thirty acres of land. If it is an old man in Liaodi, he will also give fifty acres and give soldiers and agricultural tools. If there are any more immediate family members in the Liaodong Army, and the whole family migrates over, they will also be given ploughing cattle seeds to pull horses. ”

Taichang Temple is a horse government yamen belonging to the Ministry of War, and it is familiar with the matter of large animals. In addition, Zhu Cihong saw that the ploughing cattle might not be enough, and he also planned to get a batch of old and inferior horses to be sent down as ploughing horses, which happened to be under the jurisdiction of Taichang Temple.

"It's not just Liaodong that sent land, I heard it a while ago in the Nanjing Guild Hall. One is called the name of the expeditionary company, which is to buy stocks. The price is really high, a total of one million shares, and if you want to buy a single share, you can't beat it for five taels of silver. Li Caishan and Huang Conglie were obviously familiar with each other, and the topic continued to turn around while talking.

"How strange is this?" Huang Conglie was curious.

Li Caishan said in amazement: "It's not more." Not only that, but the most important thing is that I have a brother-in-law who wants to join in the excitement and buy a share, but he can't buy it, and the price has been increased three times. ”

Huang Conglie laughed: "Haha, that must have been a trap, and eighty percent of them were deceived by someone setting up a trap." ”

Li Caishan smiled slightly, and fell into memory mode: "In this Jingshi, there are not many people in the market who dare to lie to my brother-in-law. The Imperial History of the City Patrol and him have been brothers since childhood, and they are both in Beijing, and listening to it is also a matter of one sentence. It's just that the door is evil, and the friendship has been entrusted a few times, but there is no accurate word. Later, I still looked for the on-demand broadcast of the old brother who patrolled the city and entered the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, so I found someone who knew how to do it. Hiss...... After listening to this, my brother-in-law almost emptied his family and bought all the shares of the expeditionary company. ”

"Hahaha...... After the ya, you have to explain it to me well. Huang Conglie didn't ask.

But Li Caishan's eyes rolled, but he found that Zuo Jindu was attracted by his words, and said with a smile: "It's okay to do it." They are all once colleagues. What not to say. This expedition company will soon go to the port of Incheon, a country of Korea under the Ming Dynasty, and Japan to open up fields and build a new city. Buy land to build a workshop, go back and forth to sea trade, its profit is ten times! ”

"But ......" Huang Conglie was interrupted by Li Caishan before he finished speaking.

"Anxious, aren't you? This joint doesn't stop there. I also know that I hope to come to Haimao ten times the huge profits. The risk is also 10 times higher than that on land. Can the same ...... The expeditionary company can also set up an army and prepare for the establishment of an office. To the core...... Open the house and build teeth. The flying clippers of the Longjiang Shipyard have been built less than 100 for so long, and this expeditionary company can have ten. Still don't understand how strong this money is? Li Caishan said leisurely.

"Yes...... According to my statutes. The common people are not allowed to establish clubs in private, and the so-called opening of the government and the construction of teeth by this expeditionary company is not a conspiracy? Lu Qingyan said in a deep voice, and his identity as an official made him seem to have an extra layer of aura at the moment.

"Ahem...... So, that's not what I said. If you want to know this section, you have to go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to inquire. Who is this industry? Li Caishan was choked by such a sentence, and reacted quickly, and when he finished speaking, he also pointed to the position in the north.

Everyone quietly looked over and thought about it.

Doesn't that mean that the proprietor is the emperor?

Being an emperor does not necessarily mean that he will do business.

But the owner is the emperor. But it must mean that it can be unconstrained. Especially not to be harassed by those officials who exploit and mess around. This section alone can save a lot of costs, and if you add it to this, it is indeed a big business trick......

There was a bit of a dullness in the room.

"Ahem. I heard that the four warehouses of the Jingshi have recently begun to release grain. I don't know what the situation is, can the price of rice still stabilize? At this time, Liu Tongsheng, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, spoke.

Although Hanlin is noble, there is no oil and water, and if there is no family background. Life can be described as close to the people.

Such an opening actually caused a lot of resonance.

These low-level officials don't care about the share capital of the expeditionary company for five taels of silver, they are more concerned about the current life.

A few people, you and I will talk about the mundane things in the capital. opened his mouth, and he couldn't stop talking. The atmosphere of the scene gradually became hot, and even Lu Qingyan spoke: "I don't know how the war in Shanxi is, I heard that the Holy Lord sent a quartermaster to reward Li Gebu, and I don't know what to do......"

As soon as Lu Qingyan's words fell, he saw a silence in the audience, and he couldn't help but have a fever in his cheeks. He was a little self-deprecating, how did he become an unlucky worm, and he was cold as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Why are you Aiqing talking and talking, you won't open your mouth. Why, do I look like a monster that wants to eat people? Haha......" Zhu Cihong said, striding in.

Lu Qingyan suddenly realized, and followed everyone present to get up and salute together: "The ministers see the saint, long live my emperor, long live long live......

"Zhongqing is flat. Sit down, I want to talk with the elites of my Ming Dynasty. Zhu Cihong said, but found that there was still a sense of restraint in the house.

Although, in Zhu Cihong's gaze, all the officials were excited for a while, but Zhu Cihong looked around the audience, but he couldn't see a single person who dared to look at each other.

It is indeed normal to say, but the operation of power in the Ming Dynasty is quite strange. Except for heroes such as Taizu and Chengzu, the emperor almost never really controlled the civil official system. Although the emperors who inherited the power from their fathers had infinitely high nominal rights, the emperors who had no prestige and no skills could not do as they pleased.

As a result, the emperors, who felt constrained by the civil bureaucracy, used eunuchs to expand their power, which in turn kept them further and further away from the civil officials. Except for diligent officials like Emperor Chongzhen, even Zai Fu can't see them a few times a year, let alone ordinary ministers, these officials who are only the highest rank of four grades.

"Just now, I heard everyone talk about the expeditionary company." Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "This matter is indeed a special move of the imperial court. But in reality, it's not a unique business. If you can raise 100,000 shares, you can also ...... from the Privy Council Oh, the Privy Council has not yet been rebuilt, and at the moment it refers to the Military Aircraft Department in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armed Forces. Able to get approval documents from the military aircraft department, obtain the authority to run their own arm, and set up their own management level. ”

After hearing this, Li Caishan and Huang Conglie were all excited, and said, "Your Highness, we are still willing to participate in the shares first!" ”

"There is also the price of rice, and the court is already in action. When the roads between Jingshi and Tongzhou are repaired, the grain and rice from Tianjin Wei and Tongzhou will be transported in......"

"As for Li Jiantai...... Zhu Cihong called his full name, and everyone present felt bad: "But I am seriously ill, and I have sent an imperial doctor over, this Shanxi, I have to find a way again." ”

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, everyone felt a tense atmosphere.

The empire inherited by Zhu Cihong is no longer vigorous and powerful in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The same is not the situation when Renzong and Xuanzong were calm and peaceful, and gradually became prosperous. Even, it is far worse than the Jiajing period when the Japanese invaded and the Mongols.

Zhu Cihong attacked Shengjing, as if his martial arts were promising, as if the empire was prosperous. But in fact, what was left to Zhu Cihong was still an empire full of holes, internal and external troubles.

Militarily. Jiannu's external troubles were temporarily alleviated by the capture of Shengjing, but for a country, the capture of the capital was undoubtedly a great shame. Jing Kang is ashamed, and the courtiers hate. What's more, Zhu Cihong also relocated the Han people in the city very ruthlessly, killing and plundering all the way, weakening Shengjing's military function to the extreme.

This is a war feat, but also a deep hatred.

The Qing people need to lick their wounds for the time being to solve the huge wounds caused by the capture of the capital after the war. But Zhu Cihong was unwilling, as long as Dolgon recovered the situation a little, he would immediately raise troops to attack. You know, Shanhaiguan is still in the hands of Jiannu.

The affected areas of foreign races can be ignored for the time being.

But the fight of the same clan also made Zhu Cihong helpless. Li Zicheng's offensive was in full swing, and the four provinces of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, and Hubei were divided.

It is said that with the strength of the Royal Guards Corps, it is enough to raise troops to kill the past.

Zhu Cihong did not doubt the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his command, but standing on the throne of the emperor, Zhu Cihong could no longer be as reckless as when he was the prince of the country. Military victory is not difficult, but military affairs are only a political extension after all.

As the emperor of the empire, Zhu Cihong has to consider more than just military exploits. It's a consideration of the entire empire in addition to the merits of war. Li Zicheng's difficulties are just one example, but the Shen Ke of the empire spreads all over his body......

As the crown prince, he can lead the army to settle the split quickly. As the emperor, he needs to lead the civil and military officials, save the building, and ...... Conquer the world. (To be continued.) )
