Chongzhen Chat Group

At this time, Liu Wang was still with Sun Chengzong, far away in Yongping.

Hu Guang was not very at ease with other people, so he asked Sun Chengzong to take charge of Yongping and be fully responsible for the disaster relief and comfort matters in Yongping. Only his prestige can coordinate the local government and the garrison army, and try to frighten the black hands reaching out for disaster relief supplies, so as not to make things worse.

After listening to the news conveyed by Liu Wang, Hu Guang couldn't help but sigh to himself. Historical celebrities are historical celebrities. They can stand out in the same period. Regardless of whether their reputation is good or bad, they have their own merits in being recorded in history books. Ability, a keen sense of smell, to do the right thing in the right time.

No matter what he was like in his original history, at least he is still young and can be reformed. This time the work was so palatable that it must be rewarded.

Hu Guang thought this way, and when he was about to personally announce the matter to the civil and military officials and promote him, his brows suddenly moved. After thinking about it, he held it back and clicked on Liu Xingzuo's icon to explain.

Outside Tiananmen Square, Liu Xingzuo was talking. He did not enter the chat group, so he did not know what Liu Wang said. But the emperor's words could directly remind him, and he paused for a moment, and then he didn't speak again. He just stood there, seemingly scanning the low-level officers in front of him, but in fact his consciousness entered the chat group.

After a while, Liu Xingzuo's consciousness withdrew from the chat group, with a vague look of surprise on his face. He speeded up his speech and said loudly: "Whether you can enter the Hall of Loyalty and Martyrs of the Ming Dynasty requires the court to verify whether they died for the Ming Dynasty. The initial principle is that if all registered soldiers died in battle, they can be directly verified; those who are not registered need to be certified. Only physical evidence and other proofs can be used to enter the Ming Dynasty Loyalty Hall..."

Upon hearing this, the reaction of the people below immediately stopped listening quietly, and many people were shocked. For example, Xu Wenbo was Ma Shilong's servant, so of course he would not be registered with the Ministry of War.

This means that if he died in battle, it would be more troublesome to enter the Ming Dynasty Loyalty Hall. He would have to prove that he had indeed died fighting for the Ming Dynasty. But everyone is dead, what to do? It depends on whether the owner Ma Shilong wants to let him enter the Ming Dynasty Loyalty Hall!

Thinking of this, Xu Wenbo suddenly became a little dissatisfied. If he died in battle like other soldiers, why would he not be treated differently and might not be able to enter the Ming Dynasty Loyalty Hall?

At this time, I heard Liu Xingzuo raise his voice and shout with authority: "The Ming Zhonglie Hall was built with the emperor's hard work. It is the place where my Ming Zhonglie is. The emperor personally worships it. It is definitely not something that cats and dogs can enjoy..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wenbo looked back and thought, it seems that this is indeed the case. Otherwise, if someone from a wealthy family dies and says he died for the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't he be able to enter the Ming Dynasty Loyalty Hall, become a loyal martyr of the Ming Dynasty, be worshiped by the emperor, and coexist with the country? If this is really the case, it is so unreasonable!

Not only did he think so, all the junior officers thought so. The servants of the generals suddenly felt a hint of regret in their hearts. They couldn't help but think in their hearts, if they couldn't be servants so that they could have food to eat, clothes to wear, and support their families, why would they become such servants?

While they were thinking about it, Liu Xingzuo was still saying loudly: "...the imperial court will issue a document to all loyal martyrs enshrined in the Ming Dynasty Zhonglie Hall. As long as this document is available, their immediate family members will have to pay taxes and labor within ten years. Their care is 30% or half less than that of ordinary families. During the holidays, the government will also express condolences to them..."

Xu Wenbo and others' eyes widened immediately after hearing this. Is this true? Even if you are a scholar, you don't get this kind of treatment during the holidays, right? It's so good that the corvee and taxation can also be taken care of?

"...His Majesty also issued a special order to the cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies, requesting that one thing must be met. When the imperial court's finances are sufficient, the children of the loyal martyrs of the Ming Dynasty can enter the official school for free. The length of their years will depend on the imperial finances in the future..."

This is another explosive news! You should know that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, except for the Jiangnan area where the literacy rate was slightly higher and ordinary people could read a few words, in the north of the Ming Dynasty, except for those with rich families, almost everyone was blind and illiterate. There are very few people there, and even the generals guarding one side are illiterate.

If your children can read, they will have more knowledge than others, and if they can, they will have more means of making a living. It’s basically impossible to remain indifferent to something like this that will benefit future generations!

However, they also heard clearly that what the commander of the Jinyiwei just relayed had a prerequisite, that is, the imperial court must have money.

So the question is, does the court have money? As I have made clear just now, not only did the court have no money, but the emperor also had no money, and the ladies of the palaces had to chip in to build the Ming Dynasty Loyalty Hall.

There is another most basic thing, military pay! Many of these military personnel have not even received their military pay from a few months ago, and even have military pay from a few years ago that is in arrears. Jizhou, as well as Ningyuan and other places, didn't they have mutinies just because of unpaid wages?

Thinking of this, all these low-level officers couldn't help but return to reality, looked at the unfinished Ming Zhonglie Hall in front, and sighed secretly.

Liu Xingzuo saw their expressions in his eyes and was thinking about what the emperor had told him. He didn't wait for his emotions to accumulate again and immediately said loudly: "However, the court has no money. This is a big problem. The emperor is deeply worried! Therefore, the emperor wants to With great determination, we must increase revenue and reduce expenditure to fill the national treasury. If the court has money, the emperor's wishes will be realized, including military pay for you and the treatment of loyal martyrs of the Ming Dynasty..."

After hearing this, these low-level officers who had just become depressed couldn't help but raise their heads again to comment on the commander of the Jinyiwei, wanting to see if this was true, and how reliable it was?

"For this reason, Mr. Wen, the Minister of Rites, cited the example of the Song Dynasty in the early dynasty, saying that the Ming Dynasty only had illegal laws that made the government's finances poor. The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this, and hereby promoted Mr. Wen to be the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty to increase revenue for the national treasury..."

These low-level officers knew what was going on in the court. When they heard this, they immediately felt that the emperor's determination was really firm, and they couldn't help but feel more excited. At this moment, it is estimated that apart from the emperor, they, the soldiers, most hope that the court will be rich!

"The emperor is also thinking hard about good solutions, and other measures will be implemented. You just need to remember that everything the emperor does is for you and the people of the Ming Dynasty. Only when the imperial court has money can it have military pay, so that it can give you a change Decorate, build water conservancy, build houses, so that people all over the world have clothes to wear, food to eat, and houses to live in..."

Listening to Liu Xingzuo's explanation, most of the junior officers couldn't help but follow the story, fascinated in their minds, looking forward to the arrival of such a day.

The number of weekly tippers has reached ten for the first time. One chapter has been added and 5 chapters are owed. In addition, Gaodian has increased by 50. One chapter has been added and 6 chapters are owed.

Seeing that there is a lot of debt, I just want to say that there will be more, and there will be more on the weekend!
