"Bold … arrogance … how dare you threaten me … I should kill them all … destroy them Jiuzu … let them know that I am still in the air and they have no room for bargaining with me …" The minister just said a face of anger and Emperor Chongzhen swore at the court …
Of course, Emperor Chongzhen did not forget what he should do now.
After taking a deep breath, he asked the minister in front of him, "Did the governor of Henan play a specific solution to such a big problem … If the local government and I have to solve the problem, what else do I want him to be?"
The minister nodded and affirmed that "there is a solution in the memorial … but this solution needs the court to come forward to solve it in the end."
Emperor Chongzhen frowned and asked, "What can I do …"
The minister replied, "The way for the governor of Henan Province is to make up the salary and food owed by the court to all the troops and health stations in Henan Province as soon as possible … If the court makes up these salaries as soon as possible, the governor of Henan Province will have a way to ensure the stability of Henan."
"After statistics, in the last three years, the imperial court owed a total of 50,000 local troops in Henan a total of 322,000 silver and grain, and owed a total of 150,000 grain to the Wanwei Army …"
"How can there be so many?" Hearing this data, Emperor Chongzhen could not help but exclaim.
This time, the Ministry of War has just come out to the Emperor Chongzhen for sure.
"As far as I know, what the governor of Henan Province said in the memorial is true and not false …"
"In the past three years, because most of the troops in the imperial court have been divided into border troops, there are hardly many fighting places, and there are not many troops assigned to them …"
"According to the usual practice, the imperial court pays the local garrison a soldier’s pay according to the soldier’s pay … but Yu Weishuo’s army only pays less than sixty percent of the total …"
"After three years, it is only natural to owe 322,000 silver and 150,000 tons of grain."
332,000 taels of silver is not much for the present Emperor Chongzhen, but 150,000 tons of grain is a very big burden.
According to today’s grain price, 150,000 tons of grain will need 602,000 silver less if it is purchased at the market price.
Adding 332,000 taels of silver to China is more than 900,000 taels.
902,000 silver is definitely a great burden for Emperor Chongzhen before the grain tax has been levied.
Just when Chongzhen’s face became more and more gloomy, another minister followed.
To the emperor Chongzhen, he told him, "I have something to play …"
"I also have a memorial here from the governor of Shandong …"
"Since the imperial edict that officials and gentry were integrated to receive grain was reached, the governor of Shandong Province has also faced the same problems as the governor of Henan Province."
"The lowest-level officials, gentry and landlords unite with each other to organize tenant violence against taxes …"
"What’s more, they refused to pay the tax due to the imperial court."
"In addition, the local garrison in Shandong Province is also facing the same problems as the local garrison in Henan Province. If the court does not immediately pay the court arrears, these local garrisons may riot to counter the policy of integrating officials and gentry to receive food."
According to the latest statistics of Shandong Governor, the imperial court owed 30,000 taels of silver to all garrisons in Shandong Province in three years.
"In terms of food, the number of health guards in Shandong Province is more than twice that of the governor of Henan Province. The court owes a total of 320,000 tons of food to all health guards in Shandong …"
"Hiss …" The minister’s words just finished a breath and rang in the hall.
Because these grains and the silver department add up to a total of 1.52 million
As far as the big court is concerned, even if the whole palace is sold, it can’t buy a total of 2.52 million silver.
More importantly, this is only the court’s arrears to the troops in the two provinces. If you add up the whole dynasty, everyone can’t imagine how much money there will be.
Emperor Chongzhen’s anger in the dragon chair has disappeared unconsciously and is covered by a trace of loss and despair.
Chapter four hundred and forty-four The second close
Although the minister didn’t say it before, their implied meaning was clear.
That is, let yourself take back the imperial edict that officials, gentry and landlords are one … Only in this way can we calm the disturbance from the bottom of the dynasty and calm the opposition of the officials, gentry and landlords at the bottom.
When the large hall passed a lamp of tea again, it was dead and full of anger. Emperor Chongzhen finally spoke.
"Silver I have no food and I have no … how to solve these disturbances and objections? You love Qing must come up with a solution for me … Of course, if someone is going to let me take back the imperial edict that officials and gentry are one, I can promise, but you must come up with a solution for silver …"
"You love Qing all know that I am in such a hurry to reach the official and gentry to accept the grain imperial edict. The most important factor is that the silver wants you to find the silver for me and I will take back the official and gentry to accept the grain imperial edict …"
In the face of Emperor Chongzhen’s anger, he asked several cabinet ministers at the front of the court to shut up directly …
Because no one dares to touch Emperor Chongzhen’s eyebrows at this time and let Emperor Chongzhen vent his anger on himself.
However, Emperor Chongzhen’s clever eyes will look at the cabinet and records have to bite the bullet and come out …
"Positions veteran here is a way for the court to increase income … This way requires the court to cooperate with the butch army again … rather than giving the butch army a benefit …"
Chongzhen, the emperor of the great dynasty, was very aware of the importance of the bottom officials, gentry and landlords to the whole.
If this disturbance is allowed to continue, it will definitely do more harm to the whole dynasty than the tiger and leopard army, because it directly shakes the ruling foundation of the whole dynasty and shakes the country.
Because of this, Emperor Chongzhen showed a very angry expression, but he was very anxious in his heart. He couldn’t wait to stop the policy of integrating officials and gentry to receive food, calm down the riots from the bottom of the dynasty and ensure the stability of the dynasty …
Although in the cabinet and records method, I let myself defeat the tiger and leopard army many times, but I was eager to end the official and gentry’s integration of food and food to quell local riots and solve the court crisis. Emperor Chongzhen still fought back his hatred and anger against the tiger and leopard army as calmly as possible and asked.
"What way? To be able to solve the silver problem, I will immediately stop the policy of accepting grain from the executive gentry … "
Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen didn’t get angry because he went to the Tiger and Leopard Army, the Chief Records of the Cabinet quickly told him: "As far as I know, there have been more and more silver stores in the Treasury in the past six months. One of the important reasons is that we cooperated with the Tiger and Leopard Army to help the Tiger and Leopard Army sell more money than the gold glass mirror to earn profits, so as to increase the revenue to the Treasury by nearly two million taels in a short time."
Emperor Chongzhen did not hesitate to directly affirm: "There is nothing wrong with me and the Tiger and Leopard Army, and my imperial shop helped the Tiger and Leopard Army sell glass mirrors to earn profits …"
Speaking of this, what does Emperor Chongzhen seem to think?
Eyes a bright to cabinet records hurriedly mouth asks.
"I see … records you mean to let me continue to cooperate with the butch army?"
Cabinet records shook his head and replied: "The opening ceremony is not about you and the Tiger and Leopard Army, but the whole court and the Tiger and Leopard Army …"
"Not only that, but the court will further expand its cooperation with the butch army …"
"As far as I know, glass mirrors and refined salt account for a large proportion of all the financial income of the Tiger and Leopard Army. In this case, the court can promote these two things with the Tiger and Leopard Army in the United States …"
"Pursuit with the Tiger and Leopard Army only sold glass mirrors to the Tiger and Leopard Army for half a year and earned almost two million and two silver. If the object is turned into the whole court and sold together with refined salt for one year, the court will definitely benefit from it …"
"It is not a problem if you want to continue to cooperate with the Tiger and Leopard Army."
Hearing this, Chongzhen was moved directly, but when he thought that the tiger and leopard army and the court were stiff at present, this interested horse was replaced by worry.
He asked the records in front of him, "Even if I’m willing to let bygones be bygones, will the Tiger and Leopard Army be willing? After all, this matter is that the court wants something from the tiger and leopard army … I’m worried that this young man will go his own way and not buy the court account. "
Cabinet records once again shook his head to a face of worry. Emperor Chongzhen comforted: "Please rest assured that the old minister is sure that the tiger and leopard army will agree to cooperate with the court …"
