Chapter 196 Good
From the overall perspective, the Ming Dynasty was still in chaos. The struggles in the court, the struggles between imperial power and ministers, many problems in the financial system, local disasters and rebellions, land annexation, the failure to go to the countryside, etc., it seems to be the same as the original one.
There is an extremely similar side in the trajectory.
But in fact, this is not the case.
Focusing on the court, Northern Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi, Liaodong and other places, Emperor Chongzhen gathered to build a group of pragmatic, willing and capable civil and military teams.
Within the trust and authority given by the emperor, they do their own duties and spontaneously help the emperor reduce the burden, striving to have a clear conscience. These are all pillars of the Ming Dynasty.
On the other hand, Emperor Chongzhen, who was loyal to them, was in the center of power of the Forbidden City, and took advantage of his foresight to protect them and solve their needs, so that they could focus on doing things without distraction.
When the vicious circle of party struggles can no longer affect these wise ministers and generals, under the seemingly chaotic general situation, Emperor Chongzhen was gradually reclaiming power, especially the power of the northern provinces!
Even though he knew that some things were not something that could be obtained by the emperor's majesty, the attitude expressed by Emperor Chongzhen was very clear, so he would leave it to the civil servant group to take over.
This will save energy and time, and implement the arrangements planned in your mind one by one. When the basic foundation of the northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty is completely built, then turn around and clean up the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River and the southwest areas, and change the changes.
It's relatively easier.
"The potential of the Martial Arts Institute can still be stimulated more."
Emperor Chongzhen smiled, looked at his holdings and said to Guan Shaoning: "It has only been so long since then the first batch of samples were produced.
Guan Qing, I heard that in these days, in addition to working in the State Taxation Department, you went to the west mountain to discuss bond samples with Song Qing and the others.
I heard from Wang’s partner that even the eunuchs and craftsmen in Baochaosi were taken to the west by you.”
"I am guilty, please punish your Majesty." Guan Shaoning hurriedly bowed and said, "I should not do usurpation, like this..."
"Okay, this is a traitor, and there is no need to say anything about these in the future."
Emperor Chongzhen smiled and waved his hand, "If Guan Qing was not as serious as he wanted to solve the model that carried the bond attributes quickly, then I don't know how long it would take to postpone the issuance of the bonds."
You should do things so vigorously and be able to think of all problems in front of you. If you should find Yousi to solve them, then yousi to solve them.
Don’t learn from some people in the court, and follow the mentality of not seeking nothing but seeking nothing wrong in everything. If the Ming Dynasty is like this, how can we solve the problem?"
Guan Shaoning replied: "I am obeying Your Majesty's teachings!"
The party struggles that have been tossing since the late Wanli Dynasty corrupted the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty's officialdom, causing the corruption of the administration to become more serious, and causing most officials to act inaction. Now there are finally a group of pragmatic and willing wise ministers and talents who are protected by Emperor Chongzhen.
How could I suppress it if I didn’t have time?
"The Point Guard is Here"
Looking at the sample version in my hand, the front printed with special patterns, war bonds, 10,000 taels, the first issue of the third year of Chongzhen, 10,000 taels were printed on the back, cryptographic texts, etc., the smile on Emperor Chongzhen's face did not fade.
With the idea of issuing bonds, the first phase of war bonds can be sold. In the subsequent time, as long as the court can gradually win, effectively control the disaster situation, and give many groups of Ming Dynasty confidence, Emperor Chongzhen had strong confidence.
He can gradually correct this mess-like Ming Dynasty.
He handed the sample in his hand to Guan Shaoning, and Emperor Chongzhen asked: "Does the newspapers published and sold in Xingguo Daily mention the corresponding details of war bonds?
Especially the concept of anchors.
If these things are not explained clearly, I am afraid that there will not be many people in Gyeonggi who actually buy war bonds."
"Your Majesty, you have published them one by one."
Guan Shaoning bowed slightly and said, "Now, there are many people talking about war bonds in the capital. Even Tongzhou, Liangxiang and other places, many gentry, merchants, etc., know about this.
After deducting the share of the treasury to be purchased, the ministers and colleagues from the State Taxation Department agreed that as long as the atmosphere of buying bonds can be well set off, the batch of 10 million taels of war bonds can be sold out within two months."
It is normal for Guan Shaoning and others to have such a conservative mentality when dealing with the newer product of bonds. After all, they do not know how much silver is hidden in the cellar even under the rule of Northern Zhili.
Hundreds of millions of taels of white silver have been flowed into the territory of the Ming Dynasty through maritime smuggling trade for generations. Even if most of them are stored in the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.
However, after a long period of precipitation, as a key place in the Ming Dynasty, the reserves of silver hidden in the secret after circulating in the Northern Zhili area were probably a considerable amount.
"I have a secret memorial submitted by Liaozhou here. You can try to spread it."
Emperor Chongzhen turned around, walked towards the Imperial House, picked up a memorial, and said to Guan Shaoning: "There were several harassments in front of Liao, and some achievements were achieved. Not many, and more than 200 people were killed.
Lu Zhen Tatar, who killed more than 3,000 Jianlu and Two Tatars, should be able to inspire some people."
Guan Shaoning: “!
!”
Guan Shaoning was a little scared when he heard what the emperor said. He had not received a memorial from Liao in the court before. How could he achieve such a record?
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!"
In addition to being frightened, Guan Shaoning hurriedly bowed.
"Okay, there's no need to do this."
Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "My Liaodong Supervisor, I saw that the Dongjiang Army had achieved some achievements in southern Liaoning, and was not to be outdone.
So I took the newly recruited several battle camps and took advantage of the slacking off the Jianlu who occupied western Liaoning to launch several attacks. There was nothing to celebrate."
Unconsciously, the deployment of the Liaodong East planned by Emperor Chongzhen began to gradually show its power and take effect. Especially after Li Zicheng smuggled into southern Liaoning, the pattern of the entire Liaodong seemed to be quietly changing.
Although Li Zicheng still has no news, Emperor Chongzhen firmly believed that Li Chuang would not die so easily.
As for some of the achievements made by Sun Chengzong in front of Liao, Emperor Chongzhen thought of one thing: Since Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang, including Wu Sangui, Zu Zerun, Zu Zepu and others, were all led by him from Liao.
Even Zu Dashou and others went to Jiangnan to prepare for the construction of a transport army involving the canal transportation.
Then it is time to gradually unfold the differentiation of Liaodong generals and ask some generals to move away from Liao.
If this plan could be realized, perhaps the Ming Dynasty could dismantle this quasi-warlord force in a relatively short period of time and promote the reform of the entire Liaodong area.
