river, highway

The capital here is completely prosperous.

The sale of banknotes also went smoothly.

This banknote has already begun to be promoted, and some templates, as well as the paper of the banknote itself, are being produced on a large scale.

The portrait of the one hundred yuan coin is Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty.

The picture on the fifty-dollar bill is that of Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty.

The portraits on the 20 yuan coin are Renxuan and his son, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji and his son.

Ten yuan is Zhu Youxiao himself who does his job

Starting with five yuan, it is Yu Qian Yu Shaobao, a hero of the Ming Dynasty.

The two dollars are from the Great Sage Wang Shouren.

As for Zhang Haogu, he is worth one yuan.

The next 50 cents were exchanged for working people to build river embankments.

Dime is the farmer responsible for collecting grain.

The sale of banknotes was still tied to silver to settle the wages of river workers, and in addition, it was given to merchants for trading.

At first, it was true that some people wanted to go to the bank quickly to exchange all the banknotes into silver. However, as time went by, some people began to gradually use the banknotes.

For this reason, the imperial court formulated a special rule that no institution was allowed to reject banknotes.

The credibility of the currency is also slowly being established.

Zuo Guangdou no longer prances around in the court, but concentrates on water conservancy.

The north is fine, the capital is not a big problem, and Shandong is not a big problem either.

Zhang Haogu can basically tell that the imperial court's tax revenue will only be higher this year, followed by Shaanxi. Shaanxi is not bad now. After all, the large-scale uprisings and rebellions in Shaanxi mainly occurred in the seventh year of Tianqi and the first year of Chongzhen.

Explosive.

It is only the fifth year of the Apocalypse. Next year, a large number of potatoes and sweet potatoes will be planted in Shaanxi, and then the policy of dividing every acre into an acre will be strictly implemented.

Zhang Haogu is not unaware that Shaanxi is now a powder keg.

The antagonism between the government and the people is very serious, but Zhang Haogu himself cannot make a move, and now he has only temporarily secured the capital and Shandong.

It was serious in Shaanxi, but not in Shandong? In the second year of Tianqi, Xu Hongru launched an uprising on the scale of a general meeting.

In addition, it is here in the capital, which is also the headquarters of the Dog Emperor. It also requires a large number of administrative staff. It takes less than three years to build Datong College by yourself. How many talents can you cultivate in these three years?

However, when the news of Wang Er's uprising in Shaanxi reached the capital.

Zhang Haogu was still severely surprised.

Wang Er's rebellion was the prelude to a large-scale uprising in the late Ming Dynasty.

Immediately, Zhang Haogu thought again, this is wrong, it is now the fifth year of Tianqi and not yet the sixth year of Tianqi. Doesn't this Wang Er have to wait until the seventh year of Tianqi to rebel?

Two years early?

I don’t know if it has something to do with my butterfly wings.

When Wang Eryi rebelled, Wang Jiayin, a farmer in Fugu, northern Shaanxi, gathered a group of hungry people to rebel. Wang Er immediately led his team north to join them, and the rebel army expanded to five or six thousand people. Soon Wang Er and Wang Jiayin led their troops southward and garrisoned in Huanglongchuan.

Wherever the rebel army passed, they killed corrupt officials, broke down prisons, opened granaries, and helped the hungry people, becoming popular in Weibei.

Then there are Gao Yingxiang from northern Shaanxi in Ansai, Wang Zuogao, Feishan Hu, Big Red Wolf in Yichuan, Wang Hu, Heisha Shen in Luochuan, Wang Monk in Yanchuan, Wang Daliang in the south of Hanzhong, and Wang Jiayin in Gansu.

In Qingyang, Zhou Dawang also planted flags in Wudu to rebel.

This is a domino. Once a problem occurs, there will be a chain reaction.

But, not bad!

The new army was trained here in Zhang Haogu, so he asked Sun Chuanting to bring 20,000 new troops there. According to the original historical trend, even if there was no new army, Sun Chuanting's beating of the peasant army in the early stage would be the same as beating Sun Tzu.

What's more, now there is a new army.

Defeating the peasant army is not a big problem.

The problem is how to properly resolve this environment of large-scale peasant army uprising.

"Scribe!"

Zhang Haogu read the information and immediately said: "Let Sun Chuanting come over immediately, and..."

Zhang Haogu glanced at the young man next to him and said quickly: "Father-in-law, inform the emperor immediately!"

The memorial is closed!

Zhang Haogu closed his eyes and meditated. In fact, Zhang Haogu really didn't pay much attention to the riots in Zhending Mansion and Shandong. As long as the new army was strong enough, they could completely suppress the riots in these two places.

As long as you implement your own New Deal, overall it will not affect the imperial court.

However, Shaanxi is different.

The soil that breeds uprisings has been formed here. If I hadn't traveled through time and become Zhang Haogu, if I were in Shaanxi, I would have shown it to you on the spot.

took a sip of tea

Zhu Youxiao had already arrived at the Interior Department, with a somewhat solemn expression on his face: "Master, is there a large-scale rebellion in Shaanxi?"

"Your Majesty, please look!"

Zhang Haogu gave the memorial place in his hand to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and then slapped the table: "These unruly people!"

"Shaanxi is experiencing severe drought and official exploitation!"

Zhang Haogu quickly said: "Your Majesty, it must be suppressed. Nowadays, large-scale farmers in Shaanxi are revolting... well, rebellion. If they cannot be suppressed as soon as possible, the rogue bandits will quickly destroy the production in Shaanxi, thus causing more

People become proletarians and then join the bandits!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Yes, we can't let them continue to grow bigger!"

Having said this, Zhu Youxiao looked at the memorial again and said with a sneer: "There are actually Ming soldiers who have joined the bandits?"

"Your Majesty, this is a problem with the army. Many bankrupt farmers in the northwest region are forced to be soldiers or post soldiers, but what if they become soldiers? Naturally, it is impossible for everyone to have the treatment of the new army, and the same is true for soldiers.

They are oppressed by their superiors and have no land or food, so naturally they are unwilling to contribute!"

Zhang Haogu said bluntly: "Your Majesty, don't compare the new army to other Ming emperors. Since the Wanli era, the Ming Dynasty's military expenditures have increased sharply due to its response to Manchuria. But looking at the battle of Guangning, the military expenditures, I think the Emperor has almost seen it. The eunuchs and

Minister, the generals have swallowed up the military expenses. This is only Liaodong, so the shortage of military pay in the northwest towns is even more serious!"

"These Ming armies were in arrears with pay for more than three years. The soldiers also worked hard for the generals, performed miscellaneous tasks, and suffered all kinds of abuse. Each soldier received a monthly salary of 5 coins, but the actual money he received was

It was not enough to buy a dou of rice, and the clothes did not cover the body. They even sold armor and equipment, and sold their wives and children. Therefore, they joined the rebels and resisted the imperial court!"

Zhu Youxiao clenched his fists and said coldly: "One day, I must deal with these insects!"

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, Sun Chuanting is here!"

The clerk outside said quickly.

"Let him in!" Zhu Youxiao said quickly.

After a while, Sun Chuanting quickly came to Zhang Haogu and Zhu Youxiao: "I have met the emperor!"

"Get up!" Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Do you know about Shaanxi?"

"The scribe already told me on the way here!" Sun Chuanting said quickly.

Zhang Haogu nodded and said: "Okay, Your Majesty, my plan is this. Let Sun Chuanting take 20,000 new troops to Shaanxi immediately to suppress these rebels!"

Having said this, Zhang Haogu paused slightly and continued: "At the same time, we are raising food on the spot and asking the landlords and gentry in Shaanxi to come up with enough food and donate it to the court. The court will give them face. They

If you don't want this face, colluding with the rebel army is tantamount to rebellion and you should kill them on the spot. Don't be afraid of offending anyone. If you don't give food to anyone, just label them as rebels and kill them directly!"

Needless to say, who in Shaanxi now has food and money?

Needless to say, it must be this group of landlords and gentry.

Zhang Haogu still remembers a movie he watched in his previous life. At first, Sun Chuanting hoped that these landlords and gentry would donate some food so that the imperial army could suppress Li Zicheng.

As a result, this group of gentry said, you, Sun Chuanting, are great? Nowadays, none of us are in the court. Which one of this minister and that minister is not our backer? You, Sun Chuanting, are nothing.

At the end of the day, Sun Chuanting chopped up all these guys, and the world became quiet.

Then, Sun Chuanting also died in the battle.

The most damn annoying thing is that Chongzhen still doesn’t believe it.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "Sun Chuanting, just like the master, I will give you another imperial edict. You go and fight. Fight with confidence and boldness. Don't worry about who is behind these landlords and gentry, and don't worry about where they are.

No matter how many people there are in the imperial court, I am your biggest supporter. I am your biggest backer. If anyone dares to restrain you, I will destroy all nine of his clans!"

Sun Chuanting was suddenly moved.

It is said that a scholar dies for a confidant, which is probably what it feels like.

Compared with Chongzhen, Zhu Youxiao is indeed very responsible.
