The Wan family's family extermination lasted for more than half an hour. Except for the minors under the age of 18, a total of 128 people were killed in the mansion. Two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver were confiscated.

This shocking killing shocked all the onlookers. They could not believe that the handsome and friendly Magistrate Yu was so decisive and his thunderous wrist was several levels stronger than his ex-boy Zheng Zongwang.

Although the ten thousand families are bullying Liangliang, everyone felt a little sad and sympathetic when they heard the miserable howls of the victims, and they were also secretly glad that they were fortunate that they did not provoke the magistrate of the God of Killing.

Yu Wan is not a bloodthirsty person who kills without blinking, but Wan family has touched his bottom line. Moreover, since ancient times, changes have been accompanied by bloodshed. Killing to establish authority is the simplest and most effective push for reform.

The news that the Wan family was destroyed soon spread like snowflakes throughout Anqing City, making the already-motivated family settle down instantly.

Although the new policy harms interests, nothing is more important than the life of a family. Those with the surname Yu can do everything they say and do everything!

After Yu Wan returned to the government office, he immediately summoned civil and military officials to come for a meeting and issued a series of actions.

First, Qin Boqiong's Longwei Camp was sent to conquer Xueming Castle and completely eliminate all bandit forces in Huaining County.

Then he allocated 70,000 taels to the Huaining County Magistrate Hou Jianbao, and ordered him to mine saltpeter copper and iron ore, prepare for the operation of the firearm manufacturing plant, and start construction immediately as soon as the ordnance master arrived.

Then 60,000 taels were transferred to the Grain and Cotton Division to purchase grain and grass to help the refugees who came from bee pupa. Finally, 100,000 taels were distributed to the Shipping Division to build twenty warships.

Only then did the head of the family realize that oil and rice are expensive, and Anqing is in a mess, and there are shortages of money everywhere. Yu Wan waved his hand and spent all the money he sent from thousands of families. The deposits in the treasury were only more than 400,000 yuan, which was far from enough for construction.

Fortunately, economic plants such as rice, cotton, mulberry and other economic plants have been sown on a large scale, and they can get a harvest if they last for another two months. It is precisely because of this future check that Yu Wan dared to spend money so much.

After arranging the matter that needs to be resolved urgently, Yu Wan took Chen Zongjun's letter and went to Nanjing City with Chu Yan to look for Dai Zi.

Just as Anqing was in full swing, the imperial meeting was also held in the imperial palace in Hanjing.

Participants included members of the newly created cabinet of Chongzhen, including Zuo Liangyu, the second assistant Guo Shixun, the cabinet members include Gan Shuyuan, the Minister of Revenue, Tang Gongcheng, the Minister of Justice, and Li Hao, the Minister of War.

In addition to the cabinet, there are also Donglin Party members who are censors, a total of six, all of whom are direct officials who were vigorously promoted by Chongzhen recently.

After everyone sat down, Chongzhen said with a serious expression, "I read the account book submitted by the Ministry of Revenue last night. The treasury has reached the point where it is dry! Gan Shuyuan, tell them."

Gan Shuyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, said, "Long live, it has been almost three months since the capital was moved to Hanjing. During this period, the treasury income mainly relied on the rice, mulberry, silkworm, salt, iron, ceramics, etc. in Huguang Province, totaling 2.83 million taels of silver. The treasury expenditure mainly includes three major sectors, one is military expenditure, which consumed 870,000 taels of silver; the second is to build roads and cities, which consumed 460,000 taels of silver; the third is the salary of officials at all levels and the rewards of vassal kings in various places, which consumed 480,000 taels of silver. With the remaining expenses, the total 2.25 million taels of silver."

After Gan Shuyuan finished speaking, Chongzhen said coldly. "I heard it all. In other words, after three months, my Ming Dynasty treasury only earned more than 500,000 taels of silver. If we encounter famines and wars again, wouldn't the country and the country be destroyed again!"

With this roar, all the officials quickly stood up and knelt down, not daring to breathe.

After a long time, Chongzhen continued, "Living at home is nothing more than two things: increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. The people's livelihood in Huguang has been blocked. It is difficult to increase revenue in a short period of time. It can only reduce expenditure. What do you think?"

Having said that, the Censor He Leiluo and Guo Shixun looked at each other for a few seconds, suddenly bowed and said loudly, "There are three or four CDs in the treasury expenditures as military expenses, but the Ministry of War has not made any achievements. The last time the Eastern Army entered the capital of Han, if it weren't for the magistrate of Anqing Yu Wan, I'm afraid even the capital would be occupied. Since we can't defend the enemy outside the national gate, why should the emperor raise so many mobs!"

As soon as He Guanglei finished speaking, Zuo Liangyu snorted coldly, "If it weren't for these hundreds of thousands of mobs guarding Jingmen Suizhou, I'm afraid Lord He wouldn't even have the chance to stand here and talk."

Li Hao, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, also continued, "Although we mobs have the highest expenditure, it is much better than some treacherous ministers who only know how to criticize but never do practical things, and mislead the country and the people."

"Mr. Li, who do you think is the sworm?"

"I will say whoever is a stilbear."

...

Looking at the two people who were fighting hard, Guo Shixun, who had been brewing for a long time, suddenly stood up and said, "It is common for disagreement in the court. Please don't hurt your kindness for these trivial matters. Since moving the capital, our army has indeed not made any achievements, but this is also because the strong enemy looks around the situation, so it is really no wonder that Zuo Shangshu and the others."

Listening to Guo Shixun's objective and blunt expression, Zuo Liangyu said in his heart: The surname Guo wants to make a trap for himself again.

Sure enough, after a moment, Guo Shixun changed his subject, "However, the Eastern Army had just lost 100,000 elite troops and focused all its attention on the Jianghuai line. This is the perfect time for our army to go out. Therefore, I suggest that you can take advantage of this water to advance directly to Nanjing and eliminate the rebels. The Ministry of War can also use this to repay the kindness of the emperor."

Zuo Liangyu stood up slowly, "Shangshu Guo is indeed a good idea, but the army is now facing the dilemma of being out of food. If the army wants to fight eastward, I wonder if the food and grass can be supplied on time?"

Guo Shixun smiled faintly and said, "Shangshu Zuo can rest assured. This is a life-and-death battle between our dynasty and the pseudo-Ming Dynasty. Even if he sells his money, Guo will not let the brothers on the front line starve. What's more, there is enough food and grass in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. As long as the Jiangnan area is recovered, what's the worry about food and grass?"

Speaking of this, even Chongzhen was eager to try it out. Since he went south, he dreamed of regaining the rivers and mountains. Now that he finally saw the hope of revival, he wanted to unify Jiangnan immediately.

"What Guo Aiqing said is reasonable, but our army is distributed in various fortresses and cannot be transferred from it. How can we bring so many troops to fight in the east?"

When Guo Shixun saw Chongzhen start to be moved, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that was not easy to detect.

"Reporting to the emperor, Li Chuang and Zhang thieves are unable to take care of themselves and have difficulty in peeping at Huguang. Moreover, the Yi tribes in the south are in civil strife, which poses no threat to us for the time being. Therefore, 50,000 troops can be transferred from Hanjing, Suizhou and Changsha. After the assembly, the command of Zuo Zheng will be led by the commander of the Shuji. The water 6 will advance to conquer the pseudo-Ming. There will be a thousand-year opportunity, and there will be no more mistakes. Please make a decision soon!"

"Okay!" Chongzhen slapped the table and shouted loudly, "Guo Shixun is responsible for raising food and grass, Li Hao is responsible for mobilizing the army. Ten days later, Zuo Liangyu will take charge of the command, and 150,000 troops will be fought against the rebel Zhu Yousong!"
