Chapter 714: Ming Dynasty Is Changing

The spring rain was as precious as oil. It rained continuously for several days, and a layer of haze enveloped the Forbidden City.

"Time flies so fast."

Emperor Chongzhen felt a little emotional. He stood outside the palace and looked up at the dark clouds. "Unknowingly, it's already the fifth year. What needs to be done is just starting to take off."

Wang Cheng'en, Cao Huachun and the others stood aside. You looked at me and I looked at you. They felt sorry for their prince and had different thoughts.

Once upon a time, Emperor Chongzhen only felt that time passed very slowly. However, as the number of busy matters increased and the number of problems he encountered increased, he felt that time passed very quickly.

Emperor Chongzhen flicked his sleeves and walked towards Dongnuan Pavilion, "Have all the documents compiled by the Supervisor of Ceremonies been moved here?"

"Back to your Majesty, they have all moved here." Wang Chengen said as he walked: "There are many documents involved. The Director of Ceremonies has drafted an outline in accordance with the Emperor's order."

Governing a country is like cooking fresh food.

Especially to govern the vast Ming Dynasty, it is not only necessary to grasp the direction of reform, but also to make a summary report on all the previous efforts.

This ensures that the changes in Ming Dynasty are within controllable range.

"Read me the outline of Liaodi's documents."

Emperor Chongzhen walked into Dongnuan Pavilion, looked at the hanging map, and said seriously: "In the past few months, the situation in Liao has stabilized."

At this time, there was no one else in Dongnuan Pavilion except Wang Chengen, Cao Huachun and several eunuchs.

"According to the summary of memorials submitted by the Liaodong Governor's Office, Ningyuan Pinglu Front Command, Dongjiang Pinglu Front Command, etc., the three guards in southern Liaoning were all taken over by the Liao garrison army. The Liaodong Rebel Army led by Li Zicheng has been stationed in Liaoyang Town.

Liao Youwei stands firm."

Wang Chengen held a memorial and read with a serious expression, "The withdrawal of the three guards in southern Liaoning and the establishment of a government are being stepped up. Matters involving population, land and other overall planning and investigation have been carried out in an orderly manner. Huang Degong led the Liaoning Army.

The army, relying on the defense lines of Haizhou Guard and other places, formed a stable defense line with the Wulie Army and the Pinglu Army.

According to reports from Tianjin, all the debts involved by the Liaodong Rebel Army have been paid off. However, considering the development of Tianjin's military industry and the subsequent batches of arms transferred, Chen Yansheng asked Li Zicheng's department to trade in gold and silver. The gold and silver involved amounted to more than 2 million taels...

…”

"What about Jianlu?"

Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly and said.

"It is reported that the main force of the Jianlu led by Huang Taiji has retreated to Hetuala."

When Wang Chengen heard this, he hurriedly flipped through the memorial in his hand and lowered his head to report: "Shenyang City has become an important frontier town for the rebels. The Amin tribe and the Manggurtai tribe have successively backstabbed Huang Taiji in a difficult situation.

According to the summary of the situation ascertained by the Liaodong Governor's Office and other places, there are frequent wars in the Horqin Grassland, and Chahar, Nei Khalkha and other tribes have all received envoys sent by Amin to unite..."

A smile appeared on Emperor Chongzhen's lips.

The pan-Liaodong strategy he proposed continued to weaken the potential of the Jianlu war, and to this day, it can be regarded as achieving relatively significant results.

In the past, the Jianlu rebellion, which frequently affected the Ming Dynasty, has now returned to the nature of a regional rebellion, which played a very important role in the Ming Dynasty.

"How are things going on with the tenants working together to spread the land, the officials and gentry both paying for the food and working as errands, and making new money and minting it?" Emperor Chongzhen looked at the map and continued.

Wang Cheng'en, Cao Huachun and others became busy one by one, and began to search through the piles of memorials for matters that their princes had asked about.

"According to the memorial submitted by Sun Chuanting, the spread of landownership in Henan Province has already achieved initial results in Kaifeng, Weihui, and Huaiqing. However, the public opinion in Henan Province is still very serious, and many groups have secretly united to boycott

stall

The trial implementation of land allocation per mu even confuses some local people. However, under the coordination of the Henan Disaster Relief Administration, these situations have been suppressed. According to Sun Chuanting's prediction, at the latest two years, the whole of Henan will implement land allocation per mu..."

"According to the memorial submitted by Chen Qiyu, the officials and gentry in Shaanxi Province paid grain and worked as servants together. Although it caused some controversy, due to the influence of the previous bandit rebellion, the situation in various places was relatively worrying. This also made the trial implementation of this system in Shaanxi encounter opposition.

The constraints are far less severe than spreading the land over a small land, and the Minister of Military and Aircraft, Fu Zonglong, the governor of Shanxi, also plans to try it out in Shanxi..."

"According to reports from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the demand for new coin minting exceeds the supply, especially the successive establishment of industrial and commercial, construction, postal savings, agriculture, and navigation banks, which has led to a much increased demand for new coinage. In view of this situation, the size of the mint stationed in Xishan has

It has been clearly stated that the scale will be increased..."

After listening to Wang Cheng'en and Cao Huachun explain the situation one after another, Emperor Chongzhen's mood became more and more joyful.

In an environment where the overall situation is becoming stable, some new policies that directly attack the old order have achieved corresponding results, which have played an excellent role in suppressing and restraining privileged groups.

If the momentum of land annexation cannot be suppressed, no matter how much results and progress the reform and reform of the new order achieve, it will all be in vain.

"A secret decree has been passed on to the above." Emperor Chongzhen calmed down and looked at the map in front of him, "In view of the complex situation that the country is in, which is a major change that has not happened in a century, the changes involved must be done in a stable manner.

Take the lead and make sure that every step taken is implemented in a solid manner. The established planning and deployment are sound in my opinion. I will act according to the original tone. If I encounter any problems, I will report them to the imperial court as soon as possible.

"

"My slave obeys the order."

Wang Chengen hurriedly bowed and responded.

It is difficult to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The issues to be considered must be at a higher level, from a comprehensive perspective, to analyze the situation and make clear arrangements.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty owed too many historical debts.

If you want to clear all these debts one by one, you will need more time and energy. On the premise of ensuring that the old debts are cleared, it must also play an excellent role.

"Send a message to Yousi."

After understanding the situation everywhere, it was getting dark. Emperor Chongzhen was a little tired. He leaned on the dragon chair, stretched out his hand and said to Wang Chengen: "In view of the current situation of the country, I plan to open a special session of Enke. This matter will be handled by the cabinet.

, I want to recruit talents from all over the world to govern the Ming Dynasty."

"My slave obeys the order."

Even in the past few months, Emperor Chongzhen was deeply vigilant about some disturbances in foreign dynasties. He had to speed up his deployment for the separation of civil servants.

Since the current situation is much less severe than before, Emperor Chongzhen decided to convene an encore so that scholars and scholars from various disaster relief agencies could participate in this encore, in order to replace the foreign ministers.
