Chongzhen Chat Group

Soon, Chen Er turned around and reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, these armors are average and barely usable! Compared with those worn by Jianlu, they are much worse."

When Wu Weiting heard this, his expression relaxed, and his face suddenly looked much better.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said: "Go to the warehouse and verify it again. I don't just want fifty pairs of armor."

"I obey the order!" Chen Er agreed, turned around, walked through the courtyard, and strode into the warehouse door guarded by the Han general.

When Wu Weiting saw it, his expression became unnatural again. He quickly walked out of the queue and reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the warehouse is very big. Please go in and show Chen Baihu the location."

"No need!" Emperor Chongzhen said coldly, "I said that what I want is sophisticated armor, but what you put out is not as good as what Jianlu used. Could you say that this barely usable armor is what I want?" Is it the most sophisticated armor of the Ming Dynasty?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Weiting could no longer stand, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, it is clear that these armors are indeed the most sophisticated armors in the warehouse."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen curled his lips slightly and sneered. Hum, admit it yourself!

"Your Majesty, this slave is only in charge of the armory. The quality of these armors depends on the military affairs department and the weapons department!" Wu Tingwei continued with an aggrieved look.

However, when he saw that Emperor Chongzhen's face was cold and his eyes were full of dissatisfaction, his aggrieved face slowly disappeared. He could no longer raise his head and said in a much lower voice: "I'm lazy, slave. When handing over the weapons, I let my subordinates do it for me and did not strictly control them, so the quality of the weapons in the warehouse was not high..."

"That's enough!" Emperor Chongzhen suddenly shouted coldly, his heart filled with disappointment. This dead eunuch still took chances and shirked his responsibilities again and again. Did he really think that he was the former Emperor Chongzhen? He was young and could be fooled?

This cold shout made Wu Weiting kneel on the ground in fright, not daring to tell the difference anymore, and the courtyard suddenly became quiet.

After waiting for a long time, Chen Er came out of the warehouse with a shocked look on his face. He strode to the front of the imperial court and reported: "Your Majesty, although there are many armors and weapons in the warehouse, most of them are crudely made. They may be suitable for normal wear, but once they are beaten, If a war breaks out, those armors and weapons will probably cause trouble!"

Having said this, he paused for a while, then turned around and pointed to the armors on the back and said: "These are already the best in the warehouse. There are probably no more than a hundred armors of this quality in the warehouse. ."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen waved to Chen Er and asked him to stand aside. Then he stared at Wu Weiting who was kneeling in front of him. Seeing that his body was shaking slightly, he said coldly: "When the weapons are put into the warehouse, you are the one who collects them." When it comes to bribes, right? Even if your subordinates take it, is it possible that they still won't give you a confession? I can guess this kind of thing with my toes!"

Wu Weiting's body was shaking even more violently. He didn't dare to reply and just lay there.

"Come on, take him to the Jinyi Guard Prison, find out the specific situation and report it to me!" Emperor Chongzhen ordered, and the accompanying Jinyi Guards officer pounced on him like a wolf, dragged Wu Weiting, who was like a puddle of mud, and left.

It was a mess at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and now we have to start cleaning it up one by one! With this in mind, Emperor Chongzhen ordered the eunuch in charge of the military affairs bureau and the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry to visit him.

However, he was a little unsure about whether to investigate the matter related to weapons. As he just said, if you think about it with your toes, you will know that in the case of arms corruption, it is definitely not just the eunuch in charge of the military affairs bureau and the ambassador of the arms bureau who are responsible for such a major corruption case.

There is a great possibility that their superiors, as well as the military commanders and the people in charge of the military department, are all involved in the process. Otherwise, if any link is strict, it will not be like this.

The weapons are like this, what about the others? As soon as Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts dispersed, he suddenly felt a little powerless. If we want to revive the Ming Dynasty, there are still many things that need to be changed!

In later years, he watched several movies reflecting Hong Kong's 1970s. At that time, Hong Kong was full of corruption, just like it is now in the late Ming Dynasty. In the end, the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established, and after arresting a group of corruption cases, it declared that other corruption cases would be forgotten, and the situation gradually improved.

It may be said that in an environment where everyone is greedy, it is impossible for some people not to be greedy. This is the so-called people in the world, unable to control themselves.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen sighed in his heart, and then ordered: "When the two of them arrive, let them take a good look at the warehouse without seeing me."

After finishing speaking, after thinking for a while, he added: "Bring Wu Weiting back, throw it in the warehouse, and let him take a closer look."

After everything was explained, Emperor Chongzhen drove back. If we don’t think hard about corruption, all other efforts will be in vain.

Just after I returned, I received some good news. The results of the auction of shares of Daming Construction Bank came back from Yingtian Mansion. The amount of the 20% of the shares was actually a little more than the 29% of the shares auctioned by Jingshi, a full 40 million. About two taels of silver.

It can be seen from this that the wealth in Jiangnan is far less than that in the capital. The people there's knowledge of the bank is far from comparable to that of the people in the capital.

When opening a bank, the more money, the better. Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed after receiving the report, and immediately issued a formal decree for the Ming Dynasty Construction Bank to open branches in two capitals and 13 provincial capitals, laying the first financial network for the entire Ming Dynasty. And the Yingtianfu branch of the Central Bank of Ming Dynasty was opened in Yingtianfu. As for other provincial capitals, it will be delayed for a while because there are really no financial professionals available. After training, branches of the Central Bank of Ming Dynasty in various provincial capitals will be opened.

As a result, the capital became even more lively. When everyone heard that the money from the Ming Dynasty Construction Bank would be handed over from the Treasury of the Ministry of Accounts, counted and handed over to the Ming Central Bank in exchange for Ming Dynasty banknotes, they all took notice, not to rob, but to feast their eyes on it. In this life, I probably have seen the most silver coins this time.

Some people in the capital who couldn't figure it out murmured as they watched: "What is the imperial court doing? It can just give the Ming Dynasty paper money, why bother like this?"

"Yes, move here, move here. This time, a lot of people will probably be busy for two or three days!"

"..."

Hearing what they said, those who understood felt very superior and explained to these people: "You don't understand this. If the court doesn't transfer the money according to this process, you don't have to worry about the bank's money being stolen." Isn’t it all fair? If you don’t take it out so brightly and exchange it for Ming Dynasty banknotes of the same amount, aren’t you worried that there will be more Ming Dynasty banknotes issued? If you go back and exchange the banknotes for silver, you won’t be able to get them back? The imperial court did this Once this is done, will everyone have confidence in the Central Bank of Ming Dynasty..."
