202 Close Your Heart

At this time, Liu Wang was still with Sun Chengzong, far away in Yongping.

Hu Guang was not very relieved about the others, so he asked Sun Chengzong to take charge of Yongping and be fully responsible for disaster relief and comfort in Yongping and other places. Only his prestige can coordinate local governments and garrison troops, and try his best to deter the black hands that extend towards disaster relief supplies, so as not to make things worse.

After hearing the news conveyed by Liu Wangshi, Hu Guang couldn't help but sigh that historical celebrities are historical celebrities. They can stand out at the same time. No matter whether they have a good reputation or bad reputation, they can make historical books biography. They have extraordinary abilities, keen sense of smell, and do the right things at the right time.

No matter how he was in his original history, at least he was a young age and could still be transformed. This time, he did things so well and he must be rewarded.

Hu Guang was thinking this way, and was about to announce this to all civil and military officials and promote it, he suddenly browned. After a change of mind, he still held back and clicked Liu Xingzuo's icon to explain.

Outside Tiananmen Square, Liu Xingzuo was talking. He did not enter the chat group, so he didn't know what Liu Wang said. But the emperor could directly remind him, let him pause a little, and then stop talking. He just stood there, as if he was scanning the low-level officer in front of him, but in fact his consciousness was entering the chat group.

After a while, Liu Xingzuo's consciousness retreated from the chat group, with a vague surprise on his face. He speeded up his speech and said loudly: "Whether to enter the Ming Zhonglie Hall, the court needs to verify whether he died for the Ming Dynasty. The preliminary principle is that if all registered soldiers die in battle, they can be directly verified and approved; rather than those who are registered, they need evidence and other proofs before they can enter the Ming Zhonglie Hall..."

When he heard this, the reaction of the people below was no longer Jing's listening, and many people were shocked. For example, Xu Wenbo, who is Ma Shilong's servant, certainly would not be registered in the Ministry of War.

This means that if he died in battle, it would be more troublesome to enter the Ming Zhonglie Hall. He had to prove that he had indeed died in the Ming Dynasty. But everyone was dead, what should he do? It depends on whether the master Ma Shilong wants him to enter the Ming Zhonglie Hall!

Thinking of this, Xu Wenbo was a little dissatisfied. Why did he suffer a different treatment if he died in battle like other soldiers, and he might not be able to enter the Ming Dynasty Zhonglie Hall?

At this moment, Liu Xingzuo raised his voice and shouted with a stern voice: "The Ming Zhonglie Hall was built by the emperor's hard work. It is the place where my Ming Zhonglie is. It is worshipped by the emperor himself. It is definitely not something that can be enjoyed by a cat or a dog..."

When Xu Wenbo heard this, he thought that it seemed that this should be true. Otherwise, those rich people would die for the Ming Dynasty, and wouldn’t they be able to enter the Ming Dynasty’s Hall of Zhonglie, become Zhonglie, worshipped by the emperor, and live with the country? If this is true, it would be too unreasonable!

Not only did he think so, but all the low-level officers thought so. The servants of the generals suddenly felt a little regretful in their hearts. They couldn't help but think that if they were not a servant, they could have food, clothes, and support their families, they would be this servant!

While they were thinking in their hearts, Liu Xingzuo was still saying loudly: "...The court will issue a document for all the loyal and martyrs worshipped in the Zhonglie Hall of the Ming Dynasty. As long as this document is present, their immediate family members will take care of taxes and labor service within ten years, which is 30% or half less than that of ordinary families. During festivals, the government will also express condolences..."

When Xu Wenbo and others heard this, their eyes suddenly opened wide. Is this true? Even the scholars don’t have this treatment during festivals, right? Is there any corvee taxes that can be taken care of, so good?

"...Your Majesty also ordered the cabinet and the rank of the officials, requiring that one must be included. After the court's finances are abundant, the children of the loyal and wise men of the Ming Dynasty can enter the official school for free. The length of the years will depend on the future court's finances..."

This is another explosive news! You should know that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, except for the slightly higher literacy rate in the Jiangnan region and ordinary people could also recognize a few words, in the north of the Ming Dynasty, except for the wealthy family, almost all people were blind. There were very few people who could read, and even the generals guarding one side were illiterate.

If children can read, they will have more knowledge than others and more means of making a living. There is basically no such thing as benefiting future generations that can still be indifferent!

However, they also heard it clearly. What the commander of the Jinyiwei just reposted was that there was a prerequisite, that is, the court must have money.

So the question is, is the court rich? I have already made it clear just now that not only the court has no money, but even the emperor has no money. The construction of this Ming Zhonglie Hall also requires the empresses of the palace to collect it.

There is another basic military pay! Many of these people in the army did not even get the military pay from a few months ago, and even the military pay from a few years ago was owed. Jizhou, Ningyuan and other places have caused mutiny just because of the arrears of pay!

Thinking of this, all these low-level officers couldn't help but return to reality, looking at the unfinished Daming Zhonglie Hall in front of him, and sighed secretly.

Liu Xingzuo saw their expressions and was thinking about what the emperor had told him. Without waiting for the emotions below to accumulate, he immediately said loudly: "However, the court has no money, this is a big problem, and the emperor is deeply worried! Therefore, the emperor made a great decision to increase revenue and reduce expenditure and make the national treasury full. If the court has money, the emperor's intentions can be realized, including the military pay and the treatment of the Ming Dynasty's loyal and martyrs..."

Hearing this, the low-level officers who had just become depressed couldn't help but look up again and comment on the commander of the Jinyiwei, wanting to see if this is true and how reliable is it?

"For this reason, Lord Wen of the Ministry of Rites gave an example in the Song Dynasty in the morning court, saying that our Ming Dynasty was just ineffective in order to make the court's finances poor. The emperor was very happy to hear this and promoted Lord Wen to be the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty and increase the income of the treasury..."

When these low-level officers knew about the affairs of the court, they immediately felt that the emperor was determined and could not help but feel a little more excited. At this moment, besides the emperor, they, the soldiers, hoped that the court would be rich the most!

"The emperor also thought hard about good deeds and had other measures to implement them. As long as you remember, what the emperor did was all for you and the people of the Ming Dynasty. Only when the imperial court had money could he have military salaries be able to change his clothes, build water conservancy, and build houses, so that the people of the world could have clothes, food, and housing..."

Listening to Liu Xingzuo's explanation, most of the low-level officers couldn't help but follow the story, looking forward to such a day coming.

The first time the weekly rewards reached ten, one chapter was added, and 5 chapters were owed. In addition, there was another fifty extra high order, and another chapter was added, and 6 chapters were owed.
Chapter completed!
