Chapter 1250 Homecoming
Thinking of this, Sun Chengzong walked back and told what he had heard.Of course, he didn't say what he thought, he just stated what he heard.

The people in the cabinet are the elite among civil servants. How could they not know what Sun Chengzong could think of!
No, Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet, slapped his forehead after listening to it, and suddenly realized: "Ah, there is another one in the old man's house that has not been registered. I really forgot! Fortunately, Zhisheng reminded me, otherwise I would be reported later." , this cabinet will have no face!"

He is very clear, knowing that the emperor said that to those people in the palace in the imperial garden, so why not give them face to the officials of the outer court.As the chief assistant of the cabinet, he naturally climbed up the pole.It's just a family with a child, so what's the matter!Besides, even if you register, so what, you are not a member of your own family!
When the other cabinet ministers heard what he said, they would not know what he was thinking.For high-ranking civil servants like them, the thinking is actually similar.They all laughed and said they were busy, like Shoufu, they delayed the matter.

Hearing the opinions of his colleagues, Wen Tiren suddenly said again: "This old man thought about it for a while. Since the cabinet may forget about the hidden household because of being busy, I believe it is possible for other yamen as well! In this case, In the name of the cabinet, it is better to remind the other yamen to remember not to delay the registration due to busyness. Everyone, what do you think?"

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: "Shoufu is worthy of being the first assistant. He immediately thought of remedial measures. It's no wonder that the grace of the saints has not diminished!"

Regarding the registration of hidden households, the emperor obviously knew that there were hidden households in every prefecture, and there were quite a few of them.But the emperor wanted all these hidden households to be registered, but he didn't want to be a villain.Therefore, in the palace, Wang Cheng'en, the admiral of Dongchang, was the villain.But outside the palace, the cabinet must be the villain.

What are courtiers used for?It's just for taking the blame!

Although he was blamed, he could win the Sacred Heart. With the emperor standing behind him, there would be no problems in the future. Even if there were temporary setbacks, as long as the emperor remembered, there would be no problems in the end.

The chief assistant's proposal, and the fact that hermit households were originally illegal, these cabinet ministers knew what was more important, so they didn't resist, and they all agreed.Of course, if anyone resisted, they absolutely believed that the news would reach the emperor's ears immediately, which they were unwilling to do.

Just like that, the capital quickly became a sensation.

"Hey, have you heard that Eunuch Cao, the eunuch in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies, has personally taken the son of his family to register?"

"What? Even Eunuch Cao's family has registered their children?"

"That's right, I saw it too. It was very lively at the time. A group of people were watching. I thought what was going on. I went over and looked, tsk tsk. Not only Eunuch Cao, but also Eunuch Gao, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, also went. They were all in the palace. Great man!"

"Haha, that's the best, that's the only way to be fair! There's been a drama to watch these days! I don't know what other households will do?"

"..."

The news spread quickly, and people in the mansions of some wealthy families began to make trouble.

"My lord, the villain has inquired about it, and those big figures in the palace have indeed sent their families to register their children in person!"

"What the hell are they going to do? Is the lard fooled? Are you crazy for wanting to claim credit?"

"Master, shall we..."

"No matter, whatever, there is no such precedent before!"

"..."

There were quite a few words like this. Of course, some wealthy families smelled something and were a little hesitant and a little uneasy.However, most wealthy families are still watching the wind.

Soon, on the second day after the action of the big man in the palace, there was a new trend, which was spread by the idlers who had been paying attention.

"Did you see that the housekeeper in the capital and auxiliary mansion personally took a hidden household to register, and paid the money, saying that the registration was delayed because of being too busy."

"It's not just the chief minister's mansion, I've seen several stewards of the ministers bring their family's children to register."

"..."

These bigwigs in the cabinet are not as bottomless as the eunuchs in the palace. They will show off in person. They all send housekeepers and the like to send the family's children to register.

But even so, with them as demonstrations, and the cabinet has clearly issued reminders to the yamen, this time, it became lively.People from all the prefectures in the capital sent hermits to register one after another, and brought a large group of idlers to watch the fun and spread the news.

In this way, those wealthy families can't sit still.

"My lord, it's absolutely true. All the prefectures have sent their children to register."

"My lord, I heard that if you don't register, after the time limit, if you are reported by others, you will be sent to a cold place for the same crime!"

"My lord, the villain heard rumors from the outside world that the imperial court has issued a notice that if there are hidden households in the mansion who fail to register after the expiration date and are found, those with official positions will be guilty of knowingly breaking the law, and the crime will be aggravated!"

"..."

Most of the wealthy families saw that the direction of the wind was wrong and did not dare to commit crimes against the wind, so they had to secretly scold the cabinet for incompetence while registering truthfully.These people dare to scold the cabinet, but dare not scold the instigator Wang Chengen. There is no other reason, because Wang Chengen is the admiral of the East Factory. Who knows if they scold, will the factory owner know it!
Of course, some people are not reconciled.These people are mainly those with titles, especially those who have existed since the founding of the country.There are the most hidden households in their mansion. If they hadn't been killed by the Jian captives when they went to Liaodong for credit, there would be more hidden households.

They are a bit unwilling, because after registration, according to the Ming Law, each prefecture has a certain amount of tax-exemption and military-exempt people. If it exceeds, it will have to pay taxes, which is equivalent to an additional expense.Therefore, someone secretly went to Jiadingbo Zhou Kui, and wanted to encourage the queen's own father and the prince's grandfather to hide and not register.

However, Emperor Chongzhen had been thinking about this unreliable father-in-law for a long time, and asked Empress Zhou to remind his father not to do stupid things!

When Zhou Kui was in Chongzhen for the first three years, he had already seen the methods of Emperor Chongzhen.In addition, in the past few years, Emperor Chongzhen's prestige has been increasing day by day. He is not the emperor who can be fooled in the original history, and he has the thousands of orders from Queen Zhou. Therefore, this time, he reprimanded the visitors with righteous words. , Let his son personally take the hermits in the mansion to register.

In this way, at least at the feet of the emperor, no one dares to hide.Because of this kind of thing, there is no way to hide it. When I go back to the factory guard to check, it must be revealed.

Then, what happened in the capital was spread in the chat group, and immediately spread throughout Daming.This made wealthy families all over the country, while scolding their mothers, have to register their families to have children.

Of course, there are also some people who commit crimes against the wind and feel that it is nothing if they are not in the capital.

Therefore, on the second day after the deadline for the registration of hidden households, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials of Yingtian Mansion was reported to have refused to register as a hidden family and gave birth to a child.

Originally, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials wanted to use the excuse that he was too busy to forget, but it turned out that it was not the household registration yamen, nor the local army, but the factory guards who came to arrest him directly.This speed is so fast, it seems that they have been waiting there, waiting for the time to catch people.

As an official of the imperial court, if he knew the law and violated the law, the crime was aggravated. The whole family was dispatched to Tianshan Mountain, and no one was taken overnight.

This incident shocked the officialdom of Ming Dynasty, so that many officials or nobles reported themselves. In the end, the emperor showed mercy to this kind of incident and let the past go.

The matter of registering hermits, after such an episode, the result once again exceeded Emperor Chongzhen's expectations.Originally, he thought that Daming had 5000 million people.Who knows that although the result did not come out in the end, according to the latest estimates, the population of Daming is about [-] million.

Emperor Chongzhen was very happy to get such a memorial.Now the territory of Ming Dynasty is too wide, and it needs a large population.And the more people registered, the more tax revenue.The so-called strength in numbers is not just a slogan in this ancient times.

At the same time, two sea-going ships appeared on the sea in Edo, Japan, and were slowly approaching the port.

At the prow of one of the boats, several people stood looking out onto the shore.One of them had a gloomy face and muttered to himself: "I don't know what's going on with the war, I hope the general has suppressed those rebellions!"

Hearing his words, the people around him naturally understood what he was thinking, and quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, my lord, your lord general is wise and mighty, you must have suppressed those barbarians!"

"Yes, there are only so many of them, they definitely can't beat our general!"

"..."

Hearing the comfort of his subordinates, the leader remained silent and his expression did not change. Obviously, his view should be a little pessimistic.But he did not deny it, and seemed to hope that the real situation would be as his subordinates said.

After a while like this, when we got closer and closer to Edo, we saw two warships coming up to meet them, they were still attacking from left to right.

Seeing this situation, someone waved and shouted at the bow of the boat: "We are our own people, we are the envoys sent by the General to the Ming Kingdom, and now we are back, Master Meichuan Shangyi is on board!"

After hearing this, the two warships that greeted them all showed joyful expressions on the faces of the Japanese inside.Soon, someone on a ship shouted to this side: "It's great for you to come back. I don't know when the heavenly kingdom will send troops to destroy those Jian captives?"

Hearing this, Mei Chuan Shangyi remained silent, his heart sank.Obviously, since they are still looking forward to the Ming Dynasty sending troops, it means that the situation has not improved.

But...but this mission of mine has completely screwed up!
His subordinates probably understood, but they were not reconciled, so they yelled and asked, "How is the war going now?"

At this time, the ships of both sides were getting closer and closer, and it was no longer necessary to speak so hard. Someone on the warship replied loudly: "The situation is very bad. Jianlu and those rebels want to capture Shijian Yinshan. The general sent With heavy troops passing by, the two sides are in a stalemate!"

Hearing this, Mei Chuan Shangyi was slightly relieved, so the situation has not deteriorated too much?But even so, the general should be looking forward to the Ming Dynasty sending troops to attack Jianlu and those rebels at this time, right?

Unexpectedly, just as he was thinking of this, the people on the other side of the warship continued to say: "Master General sent troops to attack the rear of Jianlu, killed many rebels, and even landed on Kyushu Island. Now the rebels on Kyushu Island are almost killed, But there are still several cities that have not been defeated, and those rebels are still stubbornly resisting."

When Mei Chuan Shangyi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. This is good news, as expected of a general.

But he didn't know that the people on these warships had limited information.

On Kyushu Island, at the beginning, the situation was indeed as they said.After the troops of the Tokugawa shogunate attacked, because there was no main force to build captives, it was just that the Catholic troops, who were actually peasants, couldn't resist at all.Many were killed by the Tokugawa shogunate's army. Anyway, Kyushu Island was littered with corpses, and only a few cities could not be defeated.

But after a long stalemate, the army of the Tokugawa shogunate would not be able to supply food and supplies.Originally, they planned to eat at the enemy's expense. Anyway, it is a territory controlled by rebels. Killing, burning, and looting are their favorite things to do.However, Kyushu Island was not rich in the first place, and the continuous wars had already exhausted its supplies.When Jianlu attacked Honshu Island, he even took away the supplies that could be taken away. Even if the Tokugawa shogunate's army repeated the policy, they could not collect much food. It was difficult to continue to rely on supplies from Honshu. up.

The people on the warship continued to talk about the news they knew: "Those Jian captives are very cruel, and they also sent troops around the rear of our army, just like demons, burning, killing and looting everywhere. The situation is very bad. General My lord has been talking about you coming back, put down the rebellion as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, Mei Chuan Shangyi was slightly relieved just now, and suddenly his heart died.Because he knew that the real situation must be worse than this statement.Or it can be said that if it is not impossible to hide, then this news will not be spread at all.

Thinking about it, I heard that when those Jianlu rose up in Liaodong, they were very good at burning, killing and looting. Now that they are doing this in this state, it is estimated that many people have died in their hands.My lord general, I really hope that I can persuade the Ming Dynasty to send troops over to suppress these rebellions as soon as possible.

but……

Mei Chuan Shangyi remembered what happened in the Imperial Palace of the Ming Dynasty, her face was ashen, without saying a word, she turned around and slowly got off the bow, and walked to the cabin.

His subordinates looked at him, knowing that he couldn't bring good news, they must be in a bad mood, and no one dared to disturb him.They can imagine that when the general finds out about the situation in the Ming Kingdom, he still doesn't know how he will get angry!

The warship and the mission ship passed by, and they could all see the people on the warship celebrating.Obviously, they all thought that this trip to the Ming Dynasty would bring them good news!The general should think so too!

Meichuan Shangyi-sama, what should you do?
　Thank you for the 5000 reward who specializes in young daughter-in-law, thank you for the reward of why there is fatness, and the rain complains of tenderness!Friday night, all day on Sunday, and even better on Saturday.
