Chapter 22 Petition to the Brave Guard Camp to Ping Kou Shu
The financial income of the Chongzhen Dynasty can actually be traced back to the one-whip method promoted by Zhang Juzheng in the Wanli Dynasty. It was like a dose of strong medicine, which fell on the seriously ill Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Juzheng promoted the One-Whip Law, which was originally intended to prevent land annexation and increase national fiscal revenue to achieve the political purpose of enriching the Republic of China and strengthening the Republic of China. When he was alive, it was indeed called the Ming Dynasty to achieve a brief rebound, called the Wanli Zhongxing.
However, this policy seriously touched the core interests of the vested interest group, pushing Zhang Juzheng to the opposite side, and even Emperor Wanli resented Zhang Juzheng.
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he had to be subject to various constraints of Zhang Juzheng, which was unacceptable to Emperor Wanli.
The dignified emperor is suppressed by his ministers. What is this?
With Zhang Juzheng's death, a whip method was declared to have failed. Even Zhang Juzheng himself, even though he died, he was confiscated and his family was cut off, and he was almost whipped out of his life.
Since then, the financial system of the Ming Dynasty has been pulling back and forth between good and bad.
The eunuchs in the Wanli Dynasty and Wei Yan of the Tianqi Dynasty had no choice but to support the precarious financial system, so that the Ming Dynasty would not collapse.
However, after the Chongzhen Dynasty, under the influence of the Little Ice Age, it entered an outbreak period, with various disasters occurring frequently, further aggravating land annexation and intensifying class contradictions. This also means that the Ming Dynasty fell into a vicious cycle.
The situation in the battlefield in Liaodong was unfavorable, the suppression of bandits in Shanxi and Shaanxi was unfavorable, the finance department demolished the east wall and repaired the west wall, and the three major wages were allocated...
These factors are constantly replicating in the vicious cycle, which makes the Ming Dynasty feel like it is about to collapse, but it is repaired, supporting it to not collapse.
‘With the income from the eight major Shanxi merchants scouted their homes, the situation they faced was greatly alleviated.’ On the way to the Military Affairs Office, Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chariot, was in a good mood and was thinking about the subsequent planning and deployment.
‘The foundation of a state-owned economy, the military preparatory institute, the grain storage system, the suppression of bandits, the establishment of new troops, the nurturing of orphans, the involvement in the field, etc., no longer have to worry about money.
The problems facing the Ming Dynasty now are money and grain. To solve these two core issues in the short term, the extension plan is not a problem.’
Previously, Emperor Chongzhen was still worried that Zhou Yuji and others who led the army to Taiyuan Prefecture would encounter any trouble. After all, they were in the middle of winter, and they were operating in a different place. If someone was really making trouble behind the scenes, it would not be easy to completely eradicate the eight major Shanxi merchants.
Fortunately, Zhou Yuji, Cao Wenzhao did not disappoint Emperor Chongzhen, and did everything beautifully. All the eight major Jin merchants headed by Fan Yongdou were controlled.
Only the eight major Shanxi merchants who betrayed the Ming Dynasty and acted as traitors, the total value of each achievement was at least 50 million taels of silver.
This has been the fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty for many years.
No wonder Fan Yongdou, the lackeys, was willing to risk the risk of beheading and extermination of the genocide, and had to do it secretly.
‘But use the beheading action to directly eliminate the eight major Shanxi merchants, and for a long time to come, there may be an impact within the Ming Dynasty.’
When he was about to reach the Military Affairs Office, Emperor Chongzhen thought of something, "According to the virtues of the eight major Shanxi merchants, he would inevitably stretch his own tentacles to the Ming Dynasty as much as possible. No one knows how complicated and intricate the interests behind this are.
The state-owned economy led by the Imperial Village controlled by the Neijing must grow in Northern Zhili as soon as possible to ensure the stability of daily needs such as grain prices, salt prices, and cotton prices. Otherwise, it would really cause a wide range of economic shocks, which would not be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty.'
When he became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he could not consider the problem one-sidedly, but had to consider the problem from multiple angles.
The central government of this dynasty must consider the local situation and take into account both the local situation. If any deviation occurs in balancing this aspect, the hidden dangers will be endless.
"Your Majesty... the three-sided governor Yang He, sent someone to Beijing to send an urgent report!"
As soon as Emperor Chongzhen came to the Military Affairs Office, he was about to summon the military affairs ministers, Wang Qia, Zhou Yanru, Wang Zaijin, Huang Liji and others, so he came to find Emperor Chongzhen with his memorials.
Um?
Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly, and took the urgent report from Wang Chengen, from his hands. Under the gaze of everyone, Emperor Chongzhen looked over.
But the content inside was a little surprised by Emperor Chongzhen.
What the hell is Yang He trying to do?
Requesting the remarks of the slander of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the enemy.
In this memorial, the difficulty of suppressing bandits was explained throughout the article, and the problems encountered at present were stated, and finally, it was necessary to go deep into Taiyuan Prefecture and eliminate bandits under the orders to rush to the Shaanxi administration and participate in the pacification of bandits.
Zhou Yuji and his friends were making trouble in Shanxi. How did Yang He, who was far away in Shaanxi, know? Why did he send someone to Beijing to submit such a memorial?
All kinds of conjectures arose in the heart of Emperor Chongzhen.
"What is the Military Affairs Office's opinion?"
Emperor Chongzhen put down his memorial, looked at Wang Qiao and the others, and said, "Yang Qing is responsible for the important position to suppress bandits, but the situation in the Shanxi and Shaanxi area has always been ups and downs.
Now Yang Qing... specially submitted a memorial, asking Yongweiying to rush to Shaanxi to participate in the bandit suppression. Let's talk about it, so that I can make a decision."
In fact, they were very confused about the memorials submitted by Yang He, Wang Qiao, and Zhou Yanru, and other military ministers, but when they thought of the matter of Xuanfu Town, they had to think deeply about this matter.
I am afraid that the emperor sent more than Cao Wenzhao's troops, especially Yang He, also pointed out in the memorial that Zhou Yuji and others had great talents, and for the sake of the country, he begged Your Majesty to beg for the sake of his favor and could ask the Yongweiying camp to go to Shaanxi to suppress the bandits.
"Report to Your Majesty, according to Yang He, the current situation in the Hancheng area has fluctuated, and the various rebels that have been bred have been raging in Shaanxi and other places. The Yongwei Camp was created by Your Majesty when Jianlu invaded the state of the country and made great achievements. Therefore, I believe that in order to suppress the bandits, the Yongwei Camp's troops could be asked to rush to Shaanxi."
"Your Majesty, I think Wang Shufu is saying so much. At present, the Jianlu Eight Banners in Liaodong have been under the influence of previous heavy blows. They have not made much move in Liaodong. If the state can take this opportunity to pacify the rebellion in the Shanxi and Shaanxi area, this is a very favorable thing for the country and the people."
"His Majesty……"
