"Your Majesty, Sun Chengzong, reported to Ningyuan that the situation in the Liao Dynasty has been decided. Since the Jianlu were defeated and repulsed by His Majesty's personal conquest, they have not invaded the Liao Dynasty again... However, with the recent increase in tunnels dug in the Liao Dynasty, our Ming Dynasty

The garrison of various troops and horses in the Liao Dynasty, coupled with the recruitment of strong men, led to the decrease of the food and grass prepared in the Liao Dynasty..."

"I, Liu Xingzuo, reported to Dongjiang Town that, thanks to your Majesty's trust, I have been promoted to the post of Chief Military Officer of Dongjiang Town. I am determined to be your Majesty and die in the service of the Ming Dynasty... The immigration of Pi Island is related to the offensive launched by the country and the DPRK in southern Liaoning. I am actively preparing for it.

Regarding this matter, since there are not enough ships needed for immigration in Dongjiang Town, I still hope that your Majesty will..."

"My minister Jin Sheng reported to Shuntian Prefecture that the rectification of the guards' offices under my leadership is now nearing completion. All the vacant positions in the guards' offices have been filled. In accordance with your Majesty's decree, all the guards' offices are ordered to actively start production. Under the rule of Shuntian Prefecture,

The guard station is..."

"Chen Shenfu..."

In the official room of the Military Aircraft Department, the emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon throne, listened with a serious expression, but he was secretly calculating in his heart.

Can the money and grain collected by the factory solve these current problems?

It is said that running a country is like cooking fresh food, but for the Ming Dynasty, which was in a state of chaos, it was unrealistic and impossible to ask foreign Korea to pay the full amount of military expenditures.

As the Military Aircraft Department began to stabilize and seize military leadership in Liaodong, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places, many issues could be intuitively placed in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

After all, the most intuitive point behind the continued weakness of the Ming Dynasty's army and its frequent defeats is that the military pay, military rations, etc. allocated by the imperial court could not be fully distributed to the lower-level soldiers.

"Wang Qing... What is the opinion of the Ministry of War on such a large food and salary expenditure?" After listening to these memorials, Emperor Chongzhen's expression remained unchanged. He looked at Wang Qia and said: "The Military Aircraft Department will sort out the detailed rules of food and salary expenditure.

come out?"

"Your Majesty, the detailed rules for food and salary expenditures have been sorted out."

Wang Qia cupped his hands and said: "If we want to solve these existing problems and ensure the stability of Liaoqian, Jimiyong Sanxie, Dongjiang Town and other places, we need to allocate at least 3.5 million taels of silver and 4.71 million taels of silver."

Stone, grain and grass, this does not include ordnance, armor and other types of military supplies.

At the moment, it’s not the Ministry of War’s opinion, but the fact that the treasury doesn’t have so much money and grain, and the Cabinet and the Ministry of Household Affairs...”

No money!

After all, it’s still the same clichés.

In the context of the gradual collapse of the Ming Dynasty's finances, the annual revenue and expenditure of the country was unbalanced. If we wanted to solve the practical problem, there was no other way except to apportion the money and tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

But for Emperor Chongzhen, this method would only intensify the class contradictions within the Ming Dynasty, like a slow dose of poison, eating away at the vitality of the Ming Dynasty.

"Guochao really raised some trash!"

Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly and pretended to be indignant: "There are obviously many problems that need to be solved at the moment, but I don't understand that during the period when Chongwenmen Customs is promoting tax reform, such unbelievable things happened.

This is not a protest at all, this is clearly trampling on the laws of the Ming Dynasty. I want to use this to force the court. People from the Metropolitan Procuratorate dare to write a letter for impeachment. It is really ridiculous!"

The officials of the Military Aircraft Department headed by Wang Qia lowered their heads one after another. They knew what the emperor said.

Since the Chongwenmen Customs House completely changed its officials, there has been a farce of sit-ins to resist taxes. Although Sun Chuanting, Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, arrested all the merchants and put them in Shuntian Prefecture jail afterwards, it also caused quite a stir in the country.

Just in the past few days, the memorials for the impeachment of Sun Chuanting, Sun Zushou, and the Chongwen Gate Customs House were like snowflakes, constantly being delivered to the imperial court.

But without exception, they were all ignored by Emperor Chongzhen.

"Okay, let's not talk about these disturbing things." Emperor Chongzhen flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "These problems that need to be solved now must be implemented as soon as possible."

"I don't want the above-mentioned place to have another mutiny like the one in Jizhou Town. The money and food will be allocated from internal funds and distributed.

The Military Aircraft Department has selected a group of counselors and ministers to accompany the army and be responsible for escorting them. I will dispatch the Fourth Guard Battalion to escort them, plus factory guards to supervise them, and distribute them personally.

In addition, in the name of the Military Aircraft Department, an edict was issued to Liaodong, Jimiyong Sanxie, Dongjiang Town and other places to prepare for the establishment of military pay departments and military ration departments in various places to be responsible for the distribution of food and pay, and to ensure that the ledger registration

, regularly handed over to the Military Aircraft Department.

In the future, the above-mentioned places will allocate food and salary on a fixed monthly basis, instead of allocating food and salary on a yearly basis. Your military aircraft department must prepare for the establishment of corresponding institutions to connect with each other. I will dispatch and replace supervisors regularly to supervise this matter."

In the Ming Dynasty, where corruption and greed were prevalent, Emperor Chongzhen did not want his hard-earned money and food to be pocketed by a group of corrupt officials or greedy generals.

Without changing this situation, Emperor Chongzhen will take special measures for some special places. Although the method he mentioned cannot absolutely ensure that the situation of corruption disappears, it can solve it to a relatively limited extent.

If a problem does arise, the appropriate personnel can be held accountable in a timely manner.

As for the fact that this process will be cumbersome, there is no other way. Since you choose to be an official, you have to bear the corresponding pressure. After all, this salary and royal rations are not so easy to get.

Wang Qia hesitated again and again, but finally expressed his inner thoughts: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, then the manpower of the Military Aircraft Department will be afraid..."

"If there is a shortage of manpower, then go and recruit."

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and interrupted: "For this matter, we must not only call from your Ministry of War, but also from your Ministry of Household Affairs to ensure that this matter can be pushed forward.

Let me make it clear. In the future, the government will definitely change the issue of food and salary. Look at the state of collapse of the health centers in Shuntian Prefecture and Yongping Prefecture. This shows that the entire Ming Dynasty,

What kind of situation is it, you military and aircraft ministers must be aware of it."

There were many stubborn diseases in the Ming Dynasty, and it was absolutely impossible to solve them all in one go. However, around Beizhili, Liaodong and other places, Emperor Chongzhen had to solve some problems first.

At the same time, it is necessary to build the basic base of Beizhili in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, it is unrealistic and impractical to compete with a huge group of civil servants.

"rustle……"

Just when Wang Qia and other officials from the Military Aircraft Department were thinking about what the emperor said, Li Fengxiang, the eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, hurriedly walked into the official room.

"Your Majesty, something has happened. A dozen censors gathered at the Metropolitan Procuratorate, knelt at the Meridian Gate, and stated that they wanted to impeach Yin Sunchuanting of Shuntian Prefecture. Sun Zushou, the admiral of the Nine Gates, intended to plot evil in Beijing, which may be detrimental to the country. If

If Your Majesty does not listen to their advice, the country will surely..."

When he reached this point, Li Fengxiang did not dare to continue talking, while Wang Qia and other officials from the Military Aircraft Department beside him had their faces changed drastically, and there were waves of horror in their hearts.

How dare you do this!

"Okay, everyone cares about food and not about fighting." Emperor Chongzhen stood up with a cold face and said: "What will happen? Will it be overthrown? How dare they say such things that will bring trouble to the country.
Chapter completed!
