Chongzhen Chat Group

Thinking of this, Xue Guo looked at Zhang Dingguo with a more kind expression, and his attitude towards Zhang Xianzhong also changed. This surprised Zhang Xianzhong, and at the same time it made him even more precious to his adopted son!

Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yansui, reported in his letter how many traitors there would be who would surrender and how much food would be needed. After Xue Guoguan made a mental assessment, he began to inspect various places from south to north.

Every time he went to a place, Xue Guoguan asked Jin Yiwei, who was ahead of others, to collect information about the local gentry and roughly estimate how much surplus grain the local gentry had, and then ordered donations. First of all, give good advice to the victims. Donating to the victims is actually donating to themselves. Otherwise, the victims will have nothing to eat, and the local gentry will suffer when the riot occurs.

If you don't listen to such kind words, then he will send Zhang Xianzhong to lead his men to settle old scores. It can be said that in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the later period, it was most common for the gentry to default on taxes and labor service. Almost every gentry defaulted on taxes. The accumulated tax arrears every year amounted to a huge sum. According to past practice, these would not be paid in the end. Let it go. This is also the reason why although the late Ming Dynasty was rich, the national treasury income was very small.

This kind of tax arrears due to local gentry is very difficult to recover by relying on the local government. But with Zhang Xianzhong and his men, the situation is completely different. Just as Emperor Chongzhen expected, Zhang Xianzhong and his men don't care about your connections or reputation as a country squire. They only listen to Xue Guoguan. Moreover, an army cannot be competed by the local gentry.

As for Xue Guoguan himself, in the original history, he dared to suggest that Emperor Chongzhen donate silver to the imperial relatives and civil and military officials in the capital. Now under the bottom line given by the emperor, how could he care whether these local gentry were dissatisfied!

Xue Guoguan would not treat the obedient county government poorly. He would first send surrendered thieves there and organize large-scale projects, such as building water conservancy, building roads and bridges, and other things to rebel against the local area.

This kind of thing was naturally warmly welcomed by the local people. The only ones who were unhappy were the squires who were punished for their unpaid taxes.

Of course, some of the squires were not willing to have their taxes collected like this, but they had no choice but to find someone to deliver an impeachment memorial to Xue Guoguan. However, Xue Guoguan is a cabinet minister and cannot be impeached by ordinary people. The most important thing is that the power of the imperial court in Shanxi Province has already been eliminated once before when the Shanxi merchants were liquidated, and they basically have no power anymore.

Moreover, this action is actually the decision of the emperor and the cabinet. Under the premise that the problem of surrendering the traitors must be solved, impeachment will naturally be of no use. Emperor Chongzhen even decreed that whoever impeached Xue Guoguan should be recorded on record, and then the impeachment memorial was handed over to Xue Guoguan himself for self-examination. If it is slander, at least the official who impeaches the official should not do it.

This kind of thing may be more difficult to carry out in other provinces. But in Shanxi, it can unfold with great vigor. It has to be said that thieves have their disadvantages, but they also have an advantageous side.

Emperor Chongzhen felt much relieved after receiving a detailed report from Zhang Dingguo in the chat group. At least in this way, the placement of so many thieves will not be a problem for the time being. But in the long run, there still has to be another way out. The way out is to seize the Hetao Plain and relocate the victims of Qin and Jin there. This is the final solution.

Emperor Chongzhen first put aside the affairs in Jin, and then contacted Wei Mulan and asked her about the situation: "How is the situation over there?"

Four days have passed since Lu Xiangsheng personally led 832 riders into the Liaodong land. He was a little worried, so he asked frequently. Anyway, it only consumed achievement points, and it didn't cost anything.

"Your Majesty, everything is fine." Wei Mulan immediately replied, "Liaodong is not like the capital. It is sparsely populated and there are basically no people in the wilderness. Moreover, Lu Zhongcheng sent Jurchens wearing Jianlu costumes to explore the way ahead. Even if you encounter someone, you can avoid it and it’ll be fine!”

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen felt relieved and said, "Okay, what about you? Can you persist?"

When Wei Mulan heard this, her heart suddenly warmed up. The emperor was caring about her, so she immediately replied: "My subordinate is fine. He is just riding a horse and does not have to fight. I am used to it! Moreover, Lu Zhongcheng also takes good care of his subordinates and often has a rest." ,Not tired!"

Girls in their teens would still be in school in future generations. Emperor Chongzhen sighed in his heart, and then expressed some concern and encouragement.

"Your Majesty, according to the current speed, we are still about ten days away from Shenyang." Wei Mulan felt warm in her heart, not wanting to trouble the emperor any more, so she told the truth.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen changed his attention and immediately replied: "Okay, you proceed carefully, I will try my best to get you detailed information."

Having said this, he immediately chatted privately with Qian Fugui and said, "I want to see how Shenyang is like. Go to a high place and take a panoramic view of Shenyang for me."

After saying that, he rewarded Qian Fugui with a thousand achievements worth it. When Qian Fugui heard this, he was delighted. Like everyone else, he really wanted to try this camera function, but he was suffering from the lack of achievement value. So when he heard it, he immediately agreed. But I can’t shoot right away, I need to find a suitable opportunity.

"I am very interested in Shenyang. If you take good photos, I will give you more achievement points later so that you can take more pictures. When the video recording function is available in the future, I will also let you try it out." Emperor Chongzhen continued to seduce. .

Fresh stuff has unparalleled appeal to people who see it for the first time. This was something that Emperor Chongzhen had quite a sense of when he was very young and when televisions first began to become popular. Even watching an advertisement was a rare experience.

Qian Fugui quickly agreed. Seeing that the group leader had no other instructions, he withdrew from the chat group and began to write again.

He used to be a businessman and could write a little bit. After joining the chat group, he knew all the words, so writing was no longer a problem for him.

I saw that there were several large sheets written in front of him, all of which were simple ones, one, two, three, four and so on. If Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he would know that the note he wrote was the information about the domestic situation in the Ming Dynasty revealed in the group chat.

Qian Fugui put down his brush, looked at the letters with admiration, and finally folded them up and stuffed them into the envelope with a smile. He is becoming more and more powerful in Hauge's house now, and he relies on this: writing down the news in the group to Hauge. Although most of these messages are daily chores, Hauge said that after he reported to Huang Taiji, , still received praise.

When Hauge is praised, he will be reused by Hauge. Therefore, what he fears most is that the group leader will kick him out of the group!
