Chapter 24 The Chief River and the Ducangchang
During the Chongzhen Dynasty during the Little Ice Age, what could not be avoided was money and food. Many problems that arose, if there was enough money and food, they could be solved.
Just like Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, how many things happened? The so-called ten-perfect martial arts were purely the product of personal imagination, how much money was spent in Jinchuan, big and small.
But for the Ming Dynasty, there were major financial problems, and it was not easy to solve these problems.
The Military Affairs Office, which was ordered to participate in the fight against rebellion, sent a pre-command to suppress rebellion. This service-oriented organization, led by the military counselor Jin Sheng, led the carefully selected military officer group of Emperor Chongzhen to the State Councilor.
With a lot of discussions, he left Beijing in a mighty manner and rushed to Shanxi to rule.
At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen issued another imperial edict, selecting personnel from the Sili Supervisor to march towards Xuanfu Town, and ordered Li Banghua and Liu Hongxun, who were supervising the case of collusion with the enemy, to move to Taiyuan Prefecture!
No matter how many borers can be found.
Even if all the people who are putting the tank are military generals.
Taking advantage of the third year of Chongzhen, on the eve of the outbreak of the bandit forces, it was also a great thing for Emperor Chongzhen to resolve some problems under the rule of Taiyuan Prefecture.
And there were two secret orders issued together with the order, one for Zhou Yuji and the other for Cao Huachun.
The former was a request made by Emperor Chongzhen to Zhou Yuji, and also provided some talent lists, with the purpose of allowing Zhou Yuji to spend the third year of Chongzhen safely, and take advantage of the situation to command the Yongwei camp, and make a name for pacifying bandits!
The latter was Emperor Chongzhen ordered Cao Huachun to assist the Xichang, who returned to Beijing, to solve the proceeds from the escort and confiscation of the house, and to stay in Taiyuan to assist Li Banghua, to resolve the Taiyuan collaboration case.
As for Cao Wenzhao, and other senior generals and other students, they escorted the entire tribe of the eight major Jin merchants headed by Fan Yongdou and returned to the capital.
The state and the state did not know much about these secrets. At this time, the ministers in the court were still digesting the changing pattern.
As for eliminating the subsequent influence of the eight major Shanxi merchants, it will take a while before it can be generated. This is the advantage brought by the information gap.
"Xu Qing, Sun Qing, since I was at the end of my power, disasters have occurred frequently under the rule of the State, especially in the Shanxi and Shaanxi areas, which is even more so."
Emperor Chongzhen stood in front of the map and said seriously: "In the next few months, Jingtong two warehouses will receive a large batch of grain reserves.
One of you is in charge of warehouse affairs in the cabinet, and the other is in charge of supervising warehouse affairs. During this period, the responsibilities you are responsible for have improved a lot, and I see them all.
After not sorting out the Kyokura and Tongzhou warehouses over the years, the borers that have grown are definitely not just the current ones, so you must hurry up and sort out the warehouse affairs.
If you need to cooperate with the Jinyiwei, I can order Luo Yangxing to help you.”
Xu Guangqi and Sun Juxiang looked at each other, and the stone hanging in their hearts fell down. They thought that the emperor summoned him this time to be dissatisfied with the progress of what they were arresting.
Unexpectedly, it was praise.
This also means that Nan Juyi, the Minister of Works, came up with some thoughts in his mind.
"Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei no longer needs to be used."
Xu Guangqi bowed and said, "With the assistance of Sun Shangshu, the review of Jingcang and Tongzhou Warehouse can be implemented in two months at the latest.
After the two warehouses of Jingtong are resolved, I will work with Shangshu Sun to solve the problem of the various prefectures under the rule of Northern Zhili to build military storage warehouses."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Sun Juxiang followed closely and said, "I will definitely cooperate with Mr. Xu to do a good job in warehouse affairs. I will not ask the State Council to encounter any problems in the grain storage area."
Emperor Chongzhen recognized Xu Guangqi and Sun Juxiang's ability. As long as the ideas he provided, the two could implement them in a true sense in combination with the national conditions of the Ming Dynasty. They were called Jingtong Second Warehouse, and the subsequent military storage warehouses opened.
Daily ledger registration, inspection system, etc., if you want to secretly sell reserved grain, you can eliminate it to the greatest extent.
Of course, in order to add a layer of insurance, Emperor Chongzhen would regularly assign special personnel to conduct secret investigations in various places in the future.
no way.
In the great Ming Dynasty, food, which has many disasters and difficulties, it will always be the first priority.
Before high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes were found, and good varieties suitable for local cultivation in the Ming Dynasty were cultivated, Emperor Chongzhen would never relax his vigilance on food.
To suppress rebellion, to provide disaster relief, to train new troops, to also need food, to provide local garrisons...
He was not panicked when he had food in his hand. After Emperor Chongzhen understood the truth about the Ming Dynasty, he had a deeper understanding.
In the year of disaster, if there is no food, rebellion is inevitable. In this process, the tragedy of Yizi robbery will occur, and the tragedy of looting the place will also occur.
As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen must ensure the maximum protection. Focusing on the core basic structure of Northern Zhili, the adjacent mountains, Shaanxi, Henan, Qi, Liao and other places will not cause too much due to food problems.
movement.
After the silver from the eight major Shanxi merchants, including jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, were all transported to the capital, Emperor Chongzhen would further strengthen the foundation of the state-owned economy.
We will carry out corresponding planning and deployment around the main core cores such as increasing income, maritime trade, and purchasing grain.
"I remember what the two Qing families said to me."
Emperor Chongzhen walked up, helped Xu Guangqi up, Sun Juxiang, and smiled slightly and said, "I will hand over this heavy burden to you."
"I will obey the order!"
After solving the problem of grain storage, the next step is the General River Affairs.
A topic that could never be avoided during the Chongzhen Dynasty was that the frequency of natural disasters was. Almost every year, several disasters that had a wide range of disasters broke out in various places under the Ming Dynasty.
Things like snow disasters and earth dragons turning over cannot be solved by human intervention, but floods, droughts, and locust plagues are effectively prevented.
In response to the locust plague, Emperor Chongzhen later prepared to order state-owned economies to spread silver to buy locusts in areas where locust plagues occurred, and to make locust nutrition powder.
As for floods and droughts, the root of them is river management and reservoir construction.
"Nan Qing, the burden on you is not light either."
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Nan Juyi and said, "The affairs of the Prime Minister's river channel are the lifeblood of our country that concerns our Ming Dynasty, especially the maintenance of the Caohe River.
But over the years, disasters have occurred frequently under the Ming Dynasty, especially floods and droughts, as if they had been negotiated, and they appeared alternately under the Ming Dynasty.
In order to avoid large-scale floods and droughts, in response to the Prime Minister's river affairs, I think some places need to change, and we cannot only pay attention to Caohe, Yellow River, Yangtze River, etc., and the main river basins under the Ming Dynasty and even rivers in various places.
