Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 356
"That Li Yan said that it is generally believed in the Jianghu that if the Jianghu people who have been recruited to deal with the original Jianghu brothers, no matter what means they use, it is treachery and is not ashamed by the Jianghu people. However, he believes that this It's a fallacy!"

Emperor Chongzhen seemed to like Li Yan's reasons very much, so when he spoke, he continued to say to Liu Weichao with a sense of approval: "He thought that in the past, the officials forced the people to rebel, and the people could not survive and rebelled. But now, the court has paid attention to People's livelihood, and the determination to punish corrupt officials has never been greater..."

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen explained to Liu Weichao: "He means that not only will I not tolerate high-ranking officials such as the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Chief Assistant, but even the dukes and vassal kings who break the law. He also holds military power in his hands. Zuo Liangyu must be strict with the law."

Liu Weichao smiled slightly when he heard it, no wonder Emperor Chongzhen was happy, isn't this tantamount to praising him in disguise!

I just heard Emperor Chongzhen continue to say to Liu Weichao: "In this way, if they rebel again, they will trap the people in fire and water, which is unrighteous. Moreover, now that the imperial army is strong, it is not difficult to defeat them. If Li Dingguo With Liu Wenxiu and the others thinking about the former friendship and brotherhood, it should be to persuade them to abandon the dark and turn to the bright as soon as possible. This will not only restore peace to the people of the world as soon as possible, but also allow their former brothers in the rivers and lakes to have a good home. If not If you do it, it will be unrighteous to the original Jianghu brothers!"

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and asked Liu Weichao: "What do you think, I think what he said is very reasonable!"

Liu Weichao listened, and said with a smile: "Really, this scholar can speak! Very strong! I think it's okay, you can try it. If you can let Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu come forward to deal with Zhang Xianzhong's troops, recruit the people there If it is, I think the effect will be much better. And let Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu realize that they are doing this for the benefit of his former brothers. I guess the subjective initiative and enthusiasm are good, and doing things will be more effective.”

He really had to admit that this Li Yan really knew how to say that it was justified to rebel before, and it was beneficial to recruit security later, in short, it was justified no matter what!
Of course, at least in Liu Weichao's view, the actual situation is probably similar.

The turmoil in the late Ming Dynasty was basically caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters, and they rebelled after they could not survive.It's just that most of the rebels will harm other people who can survive, and lose the justice of the uprising.

If the original historical development is followed, the nature will change after the bandits turn to establish a base.For example, Li Zicheng, who put forward the slogan of equalizing the land and exempting grain, opened warehouses to distribute grain, and paid attention to people's livelihood, began to change.

The same is true for Zhang Xianzhong. Establishing Daxi Kingdom, opening courses to recruit scholars, and appointing local officials to govern, then it is no longer just destroying the place.

However, because Emperor Chongzhen had a golden finger, his sphere of influence was already large and his background was stronger, so he could quickly turn the situation around.For the people of the world, as long as the world can be peaceful as soon as possible, that is the best.

Thinking of this, Liu Weichao suddenly thought of another possibility. If his shadow phone was not in the hands of Emperor Chongzhen, but in the hands of Li Zicheng, or Zhang Xianzhong and other people, what would happen in the late Ming Dynasty?
Or, this plane is not only a user of time-space communication, but several, and then the shadow phone fell into the hands of different people.For example, Huang Taiji or Dorgon, Emperor Chongzhen, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, etc. How will the situation develop in the late Ming Dynasty?

After thinking about it, I couldn't figure it out.Liu Weichao couldn't help laughing, if he told this idea to those who write online novels, and then sponsored them a sum of money, what kind of novels would they write?
"What are you laughing at?" Seeing Liu Weichao's sudden smile, Emperor Chongzhen asked curiously, "But is there something wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Weichao came back to his senses, and quickly shook his head and said, "Very good, there is nothing wrong..."

Speaking of this, he thought of something, and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "If it is really wrong to say, I am afraid that the scale of military use will increase a lot at once. Can your money and food support it?"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard it, he also had a headache and said: "Yes, it is money and food, especially food is a problem! I don't want to hurt the people's livelihood in recovery, but if the food is transported from the coast to the inland of the Central Plains, the food and grass consumed on the road will not be large. I know how many there are. However, Sun Chuanting's plan looks good to me, and I don't want to miss it!"

After hearing this, Liu Weichao thought for a while and said, "It's already June and July. Isn't Zheng Zhilong transporting grain from Nanyang? You can urge him to transport more. And the sweet potato production in the south should be relatively large, so it can be ground." Dried into powder, it is also convenient for storage and transportation. In addition, it is best to use the money and food in the hands of the local gentry."

The money and food of the vassal kings in various places are used up, which has been done before.However, now that the war has moved to the south, the vassal king over there has either been killed by the bandits, or there is no vassal king's territory.Generally speaking, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty were all in the Central Plains and the northern part of the Central Plains, and there were very few in the South.

However, although there are few feudal lords in the South, there are many wealthy gentry!Naturally, I thought of the money and food in their hands.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he frowned and said, "Is it the gentry's money and food? Then I want the factory guards to check first to see which families are richer. Otherwise, I don't know how many houses I have to copy to get enough military supplies!"

"..." Liu Weichao was speechless when he heard it.

It seems that Emperor Chongzhen really took advantage of the copying of the house, and his mind was full of copying the house.

After a moment of emotion, Liu Weichao had no choice but to remind him: "You are the emperor, they are your people, and they are all thinking about your people's money bags, what do you think?"

If he traveled through the past and faced Emperor Chongzhen, he would definitely not dare to say this.However, now that two planes are connected with one mobile phone, there is no need to worry so much!
Emperor Chongzhen probably had already grown up in front of Liu Weichao, so he didn't care about this at all, he just said with a smile: "I don't believe it, those rich gentry can do nothing wrong? I can enforce the law impartially and won't mess around !"

Liu Weichao was speechless, so he reminded Emperor Chongzhen: "What is the difference between you and Li Zicheng's recovery of stolen goods and payment of money? Do you know why Li Zicheng did not win the world in the end? It is because his policy of recovery of stolen goods and payment of payment has not changed, and he lost the squire. support. In our terms, the support of the middle class.”

In fact, the situation in ancient times was different. Of course, there is no need for Liu Weichao to explain the various differences, and it is troublesome to explain.

When he said this, he paused and added: "I suspect that the reason why Li Zicheng didn't change his policy of chasing stolen goods and subsidizing salaries after he arrived is probably that, like you, he thinks it's easy to get money this way. But, that's a human being, not a pig." , will resist."

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen despised Li Zicheng not only because he was a thief now, but also because of the history Liu Weichao told him about entering the capital but not being able to hold a stable position, and was soon driven away by Jianlu and died.Therefore, when Liu Weichao compared him with Li Zicheng, he immediately began to criticize himself.

"Then what should I do?" After thinking for a while, Emperor Chongzhen still consulted Liu Weichao.

After hearing this, Liu Weichao replied without thinking: "The copying of the house can only be an expedient measure, and it is used to set a good example. Not every corrupt official, or someone with a problem is copying the house. If you want to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, and let the Ming Dynasty To become the most powerful country in the world, you must integrate all the forces of Ming Dynasty, bundle interests, and work together to achieve what you want to do!"

This point of view, he said before.When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately remembered.

In fact, it was true, because it was too easy to get money from house raids, and to tie up interests would require consideration of various factors, and it was too much brain work. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen subconsciously made a choice.

But at this time, after Liu Weichao reminded him again, Emperor Chongzhen finally thought seriously.

Do you want to say that Emperor Chongzhen is stupid?Even though he was the king of subjugation in the original history, he is actually not stupid.

After thinking about it for a while, after thinking about the things he had been thinking about all the time, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he had a good idea to kill three birds with one stone.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen said to Liu Weichao with a trace of excitement: "Look, what is my idea, or what is my train of thought?"

Liu Weichao listened, nodded, and signaled him to continue.

I just heard Emperor Chongzhen say to him: "Isn't it good to think that the Railway Department only belongs to the inner palace before? Moreover, I have indeed received some memorials, and some officials have already expressed their opinions on this, saying that the Railway Department has a great relationship. , it should be good for the foreign court to participate."

Speaking of this, he seemed to be a little more excited, and continued to talk to Liu Weichao: "Isn't the railway from Tongzhou to Tianjin already opened? The transportation of goods to and from Tianjin has suddenly become prosperous. The benefits of railway transportation , I knew a long time ago that it made many people jealous!"

Because there is already experience in building the railway from Tongzhou to the capital, and there are a large number of captives in hand that can be used desperately.The construction speed of the railway from Tianjin to Beijing is several times faster than before.Of course, there was a price, that is, after the railway was built, only half of the captives remained.

Once the railway is completed, the transportation from Tianjin to the capital, whether it is goods or passengers, can be reached directly in one day.Or even sleep on the train and you'll be there.

The longer the distance, the more it shows the advantages of the steam train over the original carriage and other tools.

Therefore, this railway transportation is naturally seen by many people, and it would be strange not to be jealous!

When Liu Weichao heard what Emperor Chongzhen said, he probably guessed what he was thinking.
