You can't force Xu Guangqi to work overtime during the New Year, right?

Old man Xu is old. In official history, Xu Guangqi passed away in the sixth year of Chongzhen.

I don’t know if my time travels over will cause some butterfly effect, such as allowing people like Xu Guangqi to live longer.

After a brief explanation, Chongzhen asked Xu Guangqi to go back and rest early.

Today is the last day of the second year of Chongzhen, and tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. According to the rules, there are still many things.

However, it was all arranged by the people below.

In the afternoon, the Forbidden City was full of colorful lanterns, which was also the rule of the Ming Dynasty's New Year Palace.

Although I was suffering from disaster this year, the emperor's red envelope still made the people of Beijing more at ease, and everyone prayed for the emperor in their hearts.

And what about Chongzhen?

Chongzhen kept thinking about his 8 million taels because he was too short of money.

Nothing can be done without money.

This home is very difficult to build.

Not only are they poor, but the combat effectiveness of the Central Army is not good. Party disputes in the court are common, and the hereditary officers of the Guanning Army are also anxious and domineering.

There is also the cunning opponent Huang Taiji and the subtle situation in Mongolia now.

We will face peasant riots in the coming year.

The 8 million yuan is definitely not afraid of this hole, and taxation is not enough. According to historical records, after Chongzhen took office, the tax situation in the first year was the best, and it was worse year after year.

Even if you raise your salary, you can't get any money!

It's simply drinking poison to quench thirst!

The factory guards and local governments must have taken some of the 8 million taels, and the border troops in Zhangjiakou must have been involved in the Eight Great Masters.

There must be some local areas.

So, the money is definitely more than 8 million taels!

But now should we ask the bottom line?

don't want!

It’s not time yet, so don’t cause trouble for yourself at this time.

Especially don’t cause trouble for the Bianjun. Even if they are rotten, it’s better to have more food than to do it now.

Chongzhen sent officials from the Ministry of Revenue to go there, and the Ministry of Revenue would take stock of it, but it was definitely inevitable that the money was taken in the middle.

It doesn’t matter. When I really have troops in my hands, these problems will be calculated one by one.

I am still afraid that you will not take it. If you don’t take it, how can I find you to cut leeks after you don’t take it?

Thinking of this, my mood has been much more relieved.

That night, Chongzhen called the Empress, the Imperial Concubine and the Concubine Yuan to the Qianqing Palace to have dinner together.

This is the first year I have traveled through time.

Zhou Wanyan suddenly said, "Husband, should we invite Queen Yi'an to come here together? Today is New Year's Eve."

Chongzhen then remembered Zhang Yan and said, "Wang Cheng'en, go and invite Empress Yi'an quickly."

Then I asked the following to prepare an extra tableware.

When Zhang Yan came, the queen, imperial concubine and Yuan concubine stood up and saluted Zhang Yan.

After greetings between the two parties, Zhang Yan found her seat and sat down.

This girl Zhang Yan is indeed quite pitiful. She died of a man at a young age. Zhou Wanyan suggested that she invite her to come for the New Year dinner at this time, which was understandable.

After dinner, Chongzhen took them out of the Qianqing Palace together.

It was snowing outside, falling quietly on the ground, and it was particularly beautiful and peaceful under the illumination of colorful lights.

It is a rare beauty. If you enjoy the snow in the Forbidden City on New Year's Eve, you will never think about it if you are in future generations.

"Husband, why don't you dance a sword for you in the snow?"

"Don't dance tonight. Go back to enjoy the snow and rest early. If you get infected with the wind and cold, it will be bad."

Zhou Wanyan said on the side: "What are you thinking when you look at the front?"

"I'm thinking about the state affairs for the coming year and wondering if the food for disaster relief has been put down now. I don't know how the people of Shuntian Prefecture live now."

As soon as he said this, the girls felt a little heavy.

They are all from civilian families, so of course they have a personal understanding of the difficulties of ordinary civilians.

Time travelers like Chongzhen, although they had achieved financial freedom before traveling, they also came from rural families when they were young.

It is absolutely impossible for you to say that he cannot empathize with it.

The difficulties of the people are something that nobles and landlords cannot experience in their own personal experience.

Not to mention Shaanxi.

When he thought of this, Chongzhen's heart became even heavier.

Zhang Yan suddenly smiled and said, "Your Majesty is a blessing for the people, but everything needs to be done step by step. Don't be impatient. I believe that under Your Majesty's governance, the Ming Dynasty will be more prosperous. I have read all the writings of Your Majesty carefully."

Chongzhen said: "It was my negligence for a while. Let's not talk about family and country tonight. We appreciate the snow and the colorful lanterns."

We were peaceful tonight. The next day, Chongzhen followed the various rules of the Ming Dynasty for the New Year and also accepted congratulations from the court officials in the hall.

This reminded him of what the book said: On the last New Year of the 17th year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen sat alone in the hall. No court officials came to congratulate him at that time. Everyone already knew that the Ming Dynasty was about to end.

If he had not traveled through time, would Chongzhen, who was accepting court officials on the first day of the first lunar month of the third year of Chongzhen, think of his own fate in fourteen years?

Of course he could not have imagined that in fact, even after experiencing the Jisi Change in the third year of Chongzhen, no one in the Ming Dynasty would have thought that the Ming Dynasty would be finished in more than ten years.

If you don’t believe it, just ask a border soldier. If you dare to tell the other party that the Ming Dynasty will perish in more than ten years, the other party will definitely not believe it and will tie you up to see the government.

Even the eight major locust merchants who sell the country would not have thought of it at this time.

They did business with the Qing Dynasty, and they were nothing more than greedy and had no bottom line.

Similarly, although the civil and military officials in the court were making money, they would not have thought of it.

Perhaps only time traveler Chongzhen himself knew this kind of fear now.

So, don't talk to me in the future.

The days of the Chinese New Year have passed very quickly.

The handling of the eight major locust merchants in Zhangjiakou has not caused a stir in the capital yet, because no one has promoted this matter at all.

Now there is another thing that has been caused by the Donglin Party.

What's up?

When Gao Qiqian was potentially giving money to the people, he instigated the eunuchs below to embezzle.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the complaint was handed over.

It was written by Han Du himself, and the words were sharp, which made Gao Qi so worthless and nothing!

If a Donglin party member like Han Dong is confronted by others, then wouldn’t he be able to confront people in every minute?

Han Du was just the beginning. On the seventh day of the lunar month, there were suddenly seven or eight memorials, all of which were complained.

After seeing these memorials, what did Chongzhen react?

That was angry at that time!

Han Yu stood below, and in front of Han Yu, he scolded the young eunuchs who dared to embezzle.

But in fact, I almost didn't laugh out loud.
Chapter completed!
