Chongzhen Chat Group

These words were so serious that even Wen Tiren and Cao Huachun, who had not spoken, had to kneel down along with Zhou Yanru and others.

Hu Guang was indeed a little angry in his heart. You must know that at this time, the Ming Dynasty was not weak and unable to recover, nor was it surrounded by foreign powers and needed to seek international assistance.

On the contrary, Ming Dynasty was still the most powerful country in the world at this time, at least in Asia at this time. However, at this time, the Little Ice Age was encountered, and the production of the most basic grains was greatly reduced, which seriously affected the prosperity of the Ming Empire, and its foundation was unstable.

If what the court does is not aimed at solving this problem, then just like history, the people of the Ming Dynasty will live in water and fire, thus shaking the foundation of the Ming Empire.

Hu Guang stared at Zhou Yanru and others fiercely. After a while, he slowly calmed down. There is no way, these people have been influenced by Confucianism for many years, and their thoughts have been imprisoned by the practices of past dynasties. Unlike me, I know how cruel the relationship between countries is, and how serious lessons future generations have learned in this regard. I am an ordinary person. Everybody can know each other.

Thinking of this, Hu Guang softened his tone a little, otherwise he would not be able to discuss the matter in anger: "Everyone, get up! The people of the Ming Dynasty are my people, your compatriots, and the court's top priority. , is to solve the national economy and people's livelihood of our Ming Dynasty, to solve the problem of food, clothing, livelihood and contentment for the people of our Ming Dynasty. Do you know, sir?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" No matter what these ministers thought in their hearts, when it came to this, they had to respond in unison.

"Ding, achievement value +1, from Eunuch A!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from palace maid B!"

"..."

Hearing the system prompt, Hu Guang knew in his heart that Zhou Yanru and Cheng Jiming did not pay much attention to his words, because they should have achievement points to contribute, but they did not contribute.

He remained calm, watching them all stand up, and then ordered: "This matter has been settled. Send an order to Honglu Temple to make arrangements immediately. After all, the journey is long, do you understand?"

"I obey the holy order!" Wen Tiren replied immediately without hesitation.

Hu Guang nodded, thought for a while and then said: "Currently, I have no idea about the grain output of various countries in Southeast Asia, and I believe you don't know either. Therefore, the amount of tribute grain required by each country can be determined by people arriving at the border areas. The merchants will wait for confirmation after understanding. Remember, our goal is to get enough food. We cannot make countries unable to pay for food, and we cannot allow countries to pay only a little bit of food. We must grasp the right balance!"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Wen Tiren agreed again. Zhou Yanru and Cheng Jiming did not dare to speak anymore, but just lowered their heads in silence. I was a little surprised. The emperor had thought carefully about it and seemed to have thought deeply about this matter for a long time.

Naturally, they didn't know that the emperor at this time was no longer the original Emperor Chongzhen who was ignorant of world affairs and had no experience. Some important details could be easily figured out by Hu Guang who came later.

When the matter came to this point, Hu Guang asked them to take care of it, leaving only Cao Huachun. He told him: "Dad companion, I am a little worried that the people below will have problems with the extra grain payment. Dongchang is here." We must secretly supervise everything, do you understand?"

"Your Majesty is wise, I will definitely send capable people there." After hearing this, Cao Huachun immediately bowed and replied.

Hu Guang nodded and continued: "I will appoint a person for you, so that if a problem is discovered, both my partner and I will know it as soon as possible. Only in this way can we implement the matter and try not to disturb the people."

When Cao Huachun heard this, he immediately realized that the emperor wanted to ask someone in the chat group to surrender to him. If something happened, he could just report it in the chat group and the capital thousands of miles away would know about it immediately. Your Majesty has this chat group, which is really a killer weapon!

Thinking like this, Cao Huachun quickly responded: "I obey my orders!"

Hu Guang thought about it for a while, looked at the palace maids and chamberlains standing on the left and right, and said in a calm voice: "You can send a message to the outside about what is being discussed in the Wenhua Palace today, and let people outside know about it!"

Upon hearing this, they remembered the emperor's previous strict order. Suddenly, these palace maids thought that the emperor was speaking sarcastically. They were so frightened that they fell to their knees one by one, lowered their heads and said, "I don't dare!"

Cao Huachun, on the other hand, reacted immediately after being stunned for a while, and immediately shouted to the people kneeling on the ground: "This is His Majesty's will. If you dare not do anything, just do it!"

After he finished speaking, he showed a hint of admiration on his face and said to Hu Guang: "I will teach them how to say it."

Hu Guang listened and nodded with satisfaction. Eunuchs who can sneak into the position of eunuch are not fools. Others may not understand the weapon of public opinion, but as a person from a later generation who traveled through time, he understands very well how important public opinion is.

By the way, there is also the thing about Slave Chief Huang Tai Chi. They tried to lower the morale of the defenders at the top of the city by talking before attacking the city. This is actually a kind of public opinion war. And if you encourage morale, it can also be regarded as a kind of control of public opinion. It seems that I don't pay enough attention to public opinion. I must pay more attention to it and set up special departments and personnel to control public opinion absolutely under my control.

Hu Guang thought this way and kept the matter in mind. He would think about it carefully later or discuss it with a few close ministers before making a decision.

Thinking of this, he put the matter aside and started worrying about money and food again: "Cao Daban, how is Chen Baihu's injury?"

"Your Majesty, Chen Baihu's hand is disabled and his other injuries are not serious. He only needs time to recuperate." Cao Huachun replied immediately.

This person was very important, so he was not taken care of by the people from Dongchang instead of being with the ordinary injured soldiers. The treatment conditions he enjoyed were naturally different.

After hearing this, Hu Guang immediately asked: "The shopkeeper of Yongchang Bank, still refuses to confess?"

"This slave is incompetent, please punish me!" Cao Huachun was worried that the emperor would ask about this. Now that he heard it, he quickly apologized.

Although Dongchang doesn't encounter many people like this who refuse to speak, they can occasionally encounter them. This time I was really unlucky. I happened to meet a tough-talking person, who happened to be someone the emperor cared about.

After Cao Huachun apologized, he quickly explained: "Your Majesty, people who refuse to speak are usually either lucky and know that if they don't speak, they will have a chance to survive, or they are determined and determined in their hearts. A person who is not even afraid of death."

Hu Guang frowned and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a noise outside, as if someone was cheering.

Could it be that the Jianlu troops retreated? Hu Guang's first thought came to this, and he couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.

Thank you for leaning on the mountains and watching the rivers, and love the changes! Reward!

I worked overtime until 23:00 the night before last night, and worked overtime until after one o'clock in the morning last night. This is the programmer's helplessness. The poor manuscripts have been exhausted. If my wish can come true, I hope there will be one million manuscripts. I must add one. For units, I hope it’s not words but chapters!
