790 Peerless Treasure
Wen Tiren continued to report other summaries of the year: "...There are many big and small wars in various places this year, among which the particularly large wars include Korea, Liaodong, and Naturalization, which are comparable to those in the Wanli period. However, the imperial court did not spend much money and food, thanks to the fact that every war was won simply and neatly. In the middle of the year, the income from the criminals of Tonglu was searched, so this year's income and expenditure were slightly surplus..."
After fighting so many battles, we can still make a surplus, which was unimaginable in previous years. Wen Tiren and other ministers in the court never expected that some wars would be won, and they would still have to make a profit, which completely violated the truth that the past impression that military force would lead to empty treasury.
For example, in the series of wars in North Korea, the court seized a large amount of food in addition to paying military salaries, which alleviated the biggest problem for the court. As for the rewards after the army won, in addition to the promotion that was not worth paying, the other rewards were mostly distributed to Liaodong land.
The same is true for several wars in Liaodong. For example, in order to support North Korea, they surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao to raid the hinterland of Liaodong, captured Liaoyang, Anshan Yibao and other places, swept across all Jianlu Town Forts. The food was not easy to bring, and all of them were distributed to the Han people enslaved by Jianlu. However, the money they received was brought out with them, which was another large amount of money!
At present, there has not been any harvest in the Gaizhou War and Jinzhou War. However, it is also said that the Ming Dynasty firmly occupied the land in these places, giving everyone an expectation that the Ming Dynasty could restore Liaodong. Such a value has made land rewards possible.
The Guanning Army launched an attack on the grassland to support the war in Gaizhou. It not only was it easy, but it also seized countless cattle and sheep and supplemented a large amount of meat, which made a lot of money.
There is also the Hetao side, and the imperial army can be said to have used a very small price. The fisherman not only occupied the Hetao area, but also seized all the property of Lin Danhan, which also gained a lot.
...
All of these things, Wen Tiren and others have realized that the war directly participated in the command of the emperor, it seems that it is not a loss-making war. If the Ming Dynasty fought like this, it would be more happy to fight!
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he seemed to be expecting it and was not surprised. He nodded and said something he had thought about it and said, "Since that's the case, I decided to withdraw the Liao salary. What do you think?"
When he heard this, the two "prime ministers" below were stunned. However, as the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor, Cao Huachun did not need to worry about money or anything else. No matter how the emperor said, he was the main supporter of the inner minister. Therefore, after he came to his senses, he immediately responded: "Your Majesty is really a benevolent king in the prosperous era. My people in the Ming Dynasty will be grateful!"
Wen Tiren hesitated for a moment, as if it was a bit difficult to make a decision. Finally, he bowed and asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, the Liao salary is the money prepared for the Liaodong war. The Liaodong war has not ended now. Although our Ming Dynasty won consecutive battles, if the war has been repeated and the Liao salary is cancelled now, I am afraid it will be a bit troublesome!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled and said, "Of course I know that no war can be 100% sure to win, but the situation of the entire Liaodong war is already under my control. I dare not say that I can destroy Jianlu in one year, but it should not be difficult to pacify Liaodong in the next few years! Even if there are repeated words, it will not affect the overall situation. This is determined by the strength of Jianlu, so Wen Qing doesn't have to worry!"
If you have a chat group and Jianlu, you will know the situation clearly; if you have a chat group and the cooperation of several Ming troops is like an arm; if you have a chat group, the emperor's authority can be transmitted to the front line as soon as possible to suppress all factors that affect the war. What's more, the front line is all famous generals and capable ministers. If all these things cannot be pacified, then Jianlu will be the protagonist at this time, and it's a big deal!
More importantly, although banks are not making money this year, it can be foreseeable that banks will definitely make more and more money, and it will be easier for a year; this year's opening of the sea is just the beginning, and there will definitely be income after next year; and the Hetao area can be said to be stable, and the next is a period of great development, and it will be a place where output will be more than input, let alone the income of cement, etc.
It is precisely because of so many reasons that Emperor Chongzhen was given great confidence. Before Wen Tiren could answer, he added: "The victory of the Liaodong war can only benefit ordinary people, and only then can they support the court's policies more and accelerate the reconstruction of the court's credibility and prestige! This is a New Year gift to my people. What do Wen Qing think?"
The emperor said this to this point. Wen Tiren had nothing to say, so he had to bow to accept the order, but he knew in his heart that Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Revenue, would come to make trouble, but the sage intention was decided, so I was afraid it would be in vain!
Seeing that Wen Tiren agreed, Emperor Chongzhen was also happy. This reduced the burden on the people of the Ming Dynasty and would have more confidence in the Ming Dynasty's country's passage through the Little Ice Age. As long as the country is not in chaos and there is no refugee rebellion, the Ming Dynasty will burst out its powerful national strength. Who can be the opponent of the Ming Dynasty?
Thinking of this, he smiled and said to Wen Tiren: "As the New Year comes, I have a peerless treasure, I want to give it to my people and my Ming Dynasty!"
A peerless treasure? What peerless treasure? Or should it be given to the people? Wen Tiren heard a series of question marks in his mind. Logically speaking, if there is a peerless treasure, it should be presented to the emperor, so why did it turn around?
He couldn't figure it out, and Cao Huachun was also confused by Emperor Chongzhen. I wonder what Emperor Chongzhen said?
Just as they were about to ask, Emperor Chongzhen said first: "I will take it out after worshiping the Taimiao and Zhonglie Hall. Then we will announce it together with the pardon of Liao pay."
"..." Wen Tiren and Cao Huachun were speechless. Is there such a thing?
After talking about the peerless treasure, then I don’t say what it is. How uncomfortable it is to just hang it like this? If it is ordinary, since Your Majesty said it is a peerless treasure, what kind of peerless treasure is it? If you don’t explain it clearly, just mention it like this, and it’s better to keep your appetite like this?
But since he had made such a decision, Wen Tiren and Cao Huachun were helpless. After discussing the next thing, they said goodbye to go and busy preparing for the next thing.
The tribute of the Taimiao was prepared in advance by Wen Tiren and other important officials of the court. What Emperor Chongzhen did not expect was that a long article reported the news of the victory of the war this year.
Think about it, the war in Chongzhen for three years was even greater than the previous war, and the results were even more fruitful. For the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, it was indeed worth paying homage to the Taimiao, which made all the ancestors of all dynasties happy!
