It also began the most famous population migration in history.

...

At this time, the only topic discussed by the ministers at the court meeting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony was the severe drought in Shaanxi in the first spring of this year, and the common people had no grain harvest in summer.

The temple was full of ministers who were qualified to go to court, but it was not as noisy as a vegetable market during the great court meeting in the past.

At this time, the ministers in the court class all lowered their heads, either looking at the soap-colored official boots under their feet, or looking at the golden brick floor in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, as if there was a big secret in it.

The dragon chair was empty, and the new emperor Zhu Cihong did not sit on it.

This is because the new emperor is small and immature, even if he is placed on the dragon chair, it will not be effective. Children will not sit upright when they are active, and they will worry about crawling around. Will not wet the dragon chair.

In order to let the new emperor listen to the government, when the ministers below are reporting the government, they can't look up and see a trickle flowing down the Danbi, which is really detrimental to the emperor's majesty.

If that's the case, it's better to leave the dragon chair empty first, and wait for the new emperor to grow up and be sensible. Anyway, the queen mother is now supervising the country and managing the government, so the young new emperor is not needed.

Therefore, whenever the court meeting came, Empress Dowager Yi'an Zhang Yan would sit on the phoenix chair on the right side of the dragon chair and listen to the reports from the courtiers below.

Today is no exception.

Seeing the silence of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty, Zhang Yan, the empress dowager of Jianguo, frowned, was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "You are all the ministers of my great Ming, so is there no one to give Aijia a piece of cake?" Charter?"

With an obvious questioning tone, Manchao Wenwu's expression moved, he shrank his neck, and remained silent, no one dared to speak out.

For the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, this matter was easy or difficult to handle. As long as the court had money, it would be easy to solve. It was nothing more than the matter of the household department using money to buy food for disaster relief.

The problem is that the Ministry of Households has no money to take out.

Of course, it is also possible to let the granaries in various places open warehouses to release grain for disaster relief, but no one dares to say this method, because no one knows how much grain is left in the granaries in various places.

Everyone will talk about whitewashing peace, but no one dares to speak first when exposing the facts.

For a moment, there was no other sound heard in the entire court, only the breathing and heartbeat of the court officials.

Zhang Yan, who was sitting on the phoenix chair, saw that no one in the civil and military court was talking, put her hands in front of her and said again: "Could it be that the ministers let the Ai family watch the disaster in Shaanxi and the people lose their crops? The court can't take it." Can you come up with a feasible solution?"

Hearing Zhang Yan's words, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty bowed to plead guilty and said, "I am incompetent."

Looking at the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty, Zhang Yan said sadly: "Could it be that no one can save the disaster-stricken people of the Ming Dynasty?"

At this time, Zhang Yan realized that it is so difficult to deal with such a huge country, and it is not as simple as just reading the memorials presented by the six departments.

Now she really wants to have someone who can shield her from the wind and rain and solve all the troubles for her, so she doesn't have to be messed up like she is now.

A figure unconsciously appeared in her mind, then she shook her head, thinking it was impossible, the figure that Zhang Yan thought of was Li Mu, but nine months had passed, and she had not received any news of his return.

It was as if Li Mu had appeared out of thin air, making her feel that the things that happened before were like a dream.

Withdrawing her thoughts, Zhang Yan looked at the crowd of civil and military officials and wanted to point out a person to ask questions. This is not always the way: "Is there a way for Mr. Huang Ge?"

Huang Liji, who closed his eyes, heard being called by the Queen Mother, tidied up his court clothes and came to the center, and said respectfully: "Qizou Queen Mother, the people in Shaanxi have no income due to the severe drought. Yinzi bought grain from grain merchants for disaster relief, but."

Seeing Huang Liji pause, Zhang Yan hurriedly asked, "But what?"

After a pause, Huang Liji went on to say: "After returning to the Queen Mother, Shaanxi was hit by a disaster. Grain merchants will definitely take the opportunity to raise prices. At that time, the money allocated by the Ministry of Households will not be able to buy much grain."

"Then what about opening granaries?" Zhang Yan thought that the imperial court had granaries.

"Empress Dowager, as far as I know, the grain in the Jingcang is only enough to keep the capital running. At the same time, we have to ensure the grain and grass in Liaodong, and there is still no balance. The situation of grain storage in other places is also very worrying. The successive wars in the years of the late emperor have already consumed almost all of it. "After finishing speaking, Huang Liji stopped talking.

Zhang Yan knew the meaning of Huang Liji's words. The implication was that the food in the Jingcang could not be moved, and there was not much left in the local area due to years of wars.

But what should I do?

Zhang Yan, who lost her position, sat on the phoenix chair and sighed: "Could it be that Aijia can only watch the common people suffer?"

Hearing Zhang Yan's sigh, Huang Liji had no choice but to stand up again and said: "The veteran begs the Queen Mother to allocate money from the internal funds to the Ministry of Households to buy food to save the people of Liming."

When the other officials heard Huang Liji's proposal to allocate money from within, they were all overjoyed. At least this method didn't require them to waste a single cent, and the royal money was spent.

Besides, some time ago they heard that Jin Yiwei copied eight Shanxi merchants in Shanxi, which added a lot of money to the royal family, and it was time to take it out.

This thought was only for a moment. After Huang Liji finished speaking, other officials also asked to play: "I implore the Queen Mother to take pity on the people of Li and open up the internal money."

Seeing that the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were like this, Zhang Yan really had no other choice. Fortunately, the domestic funds were indeed rich now. The more than 2000 million taels of silver that Li Mu put in was used for the expenses of the palace, but also for other purposes. Jin Yiwei is on him.

Just when Zhang Yan was about to say yes, there was a quiet but cold voice outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which made everyone in the hall look sideways.

"Want to use your money?"

"A bunch of trash, what's the use of Daming Jiangshan wanting courtiers like you? It's better to kill them to save trouble."

After these words were finished, a figure gradually approached the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Chapter 249 A Bunch of Waste

"A bunch of trash, what's the use of Daming Jiangshan wanting courtiers like you? It's better to kill them to save trouble."

A cold speech outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony came into the temple, the voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone, and it was like a bell ringing in the minds of these civil and military officials.

This voice is full of domineering, with an attitude of contempt for everything, as if the civil and military men of the Manchu dynasty in the hall are so insignificant in this voice.

Hearing this passage, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, who had originally bowed to beg the Queen Mother to open the money, all looked back at the gate of the palace with anger in their eyes, wanting to see who was so daring and dared to insult them like this .

Some rough-tempered people have already rolled up their court clothes, and when they see the person who is speaking, they will definitely rush up to reason, of course with their fists in their hands.

Zhang Yan, who was sitting on the phoenix chair, frowned at first when she heard these words, and then relaxed, with a smile in her eyes, she pursed her lips and looked at the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, full of anticipation.

When a figure appeared in front of the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the eyes of Manchao Wenwu, blocking the warm sunlight, when Manchao Wenwu saw the person clearly, he couldn't help but gasped, his body paused, and the whole temple The temperature inside dropped suddenly.

Some ministers who had rolled up their sleeves secretly put down their court clothes when they saw the person coming, as if they were not the ones who rolled up their sleeves angrily and wanted to fight.

Why did the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty react like this?

Without him, Manchu civil and military saw a figure that terrified them.

That is Li Mu who is known as the official butcher, which makes the Manchu civil and military have no reason not to be afraid.

The inspection team formed by Li Mu is still inspecting officials all over the world, and sending those corrupt, incompetent and ineffective people to prison.

Up to now, I don't know how many officials in the Great Ming Dynasty were sent to prison, beheaded, ransacked their homes, and wiped out their families.

Countless officials of Daming heard the words "inspection team", and all of them trembled with fear.

In private, these Ming officials compared the Chongzhen Dynasty to the Tianqi Dynasty, saying that Tianqi was nine thousand years old in the Eastern Wei Dynasty and Chongzhen Jinyi was long live.

It means that the Apocalypse Dynasty was controlled by Dongchang, which was in charge of Wei Zhongxian, and the Chongzhen Dynasty was run amok by Jinyiwei, which was in charge of Li Mu, and the Chongzhen Dynasty was even more serious than the Apocalypse Dynasty.
