People in Zongwu: Starting with the Yin Gui Sect

Seeing more and more officials agreeing, Cheng Jiming and others became anxious, so they quickly looked at Sun Chengzong, Bi Ziyan and Li Biao.

Needless to say, Bi Ziyan did not say a word about this matter from beginning to end, as if it had nothing to do with him, and this was the fact. As long as they did not have to pay for it, he would not bother to care about what others did.

Especially after thinking about the allocation of more than 6 million taels of silver, the whole person's mind had flown away, and there was no way to care about the intrigues in the court.

Sun Chengzong, Li Biao, and Li Banghua frowned, but not because of the construction of the monument to heroes, but because Huang Liji and Wen Tiren, the two first and second assistants, did not discuss it with them in advance, and directly agreed on behalf of the cabinet.

This is not a good thing, after all, everyone knows that these two people are His Majesty's people.

However, when Sun Chengzong thought that the emperor had approved his memorial to retire and return home, and he was about to leave the court, he simply chose to remain silent.

Li Banghua, who was standing by, was the highest officer of the Beijing Camp. He naturally clapped his hands in approval to have his subordinates' names engraved on the monument to heroes and martyrs for future generations to remember.

The remaining Minister of Rites Li Biao never liked to do these empty things, so he didn't care at all whether to build the monument to heroes and martyrs.

"I agree!"

"I agree too!"

After hearing that Li Biao also agreed, Sun Chengzong and Li Banghua also expressed their opinions.

When the younger brothers below saw that their superiors agreed, they could only speak up to vote.

After seeing that more than two-thirds of the civil and military officials in the court agreed, Cheng Jiming and the officials of the Donglin Party could only accept the reality helplessly.

"Okay, since all of you have no objection, then this matter is decided."

As he said, Wu Yu said to Cai Sichong, the Minister of Works below: "Cai, this matter will be handed over to your Ministry of Works. I hope that this monument to heroes can be built within three months, and the names of the soldiers who died in this battle will be engraved on it."

Cai Sichong hurriedly stepped out, "Old minister obeys your order!"

Wu Yu nodded, and then looked around the court: "Do you have anything else to report?"

"I have nothing to do!"

"Then let's adjourn!"

Three days later, the resolution of this court meeting was spread throughout the world through the "Da Ming Di Bao".

Especially the final result of the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Jiannu, as well as the post-war pensions and rewards for killing the enemy, attracted everyone's attention.

Looking at the densely packed list of meritorious service and rewards above, everyone's eyes were full of envy.

Especially for those scholars, money is secondary, the most important thing is the title.

Among them, Li Banghua, Mao Wenlong and Wang Zaijin, who were in charge of the war, were directly conferred the title of Marquis.

The remaining five people, Wang Yuanya, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Zhou Yuji, and Cao Wenzhao, were also conferred the title of Earl.

The remaining soldiers who made contributions were also conferred the titles of Viscount and Baron.

In addition to the reward, the rest was about the construction of the monument to heroes and the execution of Dorgon and Fan Wencheng.

Everyone naturally agreed with the monument to heroes, so that those soldiers who died in the battle and no one claimed them would no longer be lonely ghosts with incense.

As for the final execution of Dorgon and the two, Dorgon was beheaded, and the traitor Fan Wencheng was put to death by slicing.

Everyone was very happy that this traitor was executed by slow slicing, and on the day of the execution, the streets were deserted. Everyone gathered at Caishikou and watched this traitor who killed countless people in their Ming Dynasty being cut into pieces.

The only pity is that his family was all executed after Mao Wen recaptured Shenyang. It must be said that this is a great regret that we cannot see their family reunion here.

…………

Time quickly came to the second year of Chongzhen. Because of the battle of national destiny that had just been fought, the Ming Dynasty resumed the "One Whip Law" and began to enter a stage of recuperation.

However, at the beginning of this year, a major event happened in the court, that is, Sun Chengzong, the Minister of War and a member of the Cabinet, retired.

This time, Wu Yu did not hold him back and chose to let him go directly, and even personally sent him off on the day he left Beijing.

After Sun Chengzong left, Wu Yu transferred Yuan Keli back from Denglai, took over the position of Minister of War, and promoted him to the Cabinet.

After doing all this, he began to think about the next path of the Ming Dynasty.

First of all, there are military issues. Although the problems on land have been temporarily solved, the problems on the sea are still there.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace. Wu Yuke did not forget that the group of red-haired devils from the West were still entrenched in their waters.

If a countryIf you can't even recover your own sea area, how can you talk about becoming a great power.

Besides those red-haired devils, even Japan has never given up coveting the three major countries in the Central Plains.

If they want to invade the Central Plains, then the Ming Dynasty is their first target.

Therefore, the focus of development in the future should be on the navy. Only by developing a strong navy can you drive away those red-haired devils who have occupied the magpie's nest and recover the sea area that should belong to you.

It would be best if you can strike first before the Xiao brothers launch the great catastrophe of the millennium. Without the assistance of the Japanese army, Wu Yu wondered what they could use to launch the great catastrophe of the millennium.

Of course, while vigorously developing the navy, the development on land cannot be reduced. As the saying goes, you can do without some things, but you can't do without them.

However, whether it is the army or the navy, the premise of development is money, and the biggest problem now is money.

Even though there are now transfusions from Brother Li, the money needed is still not enough.

Besides the military, the money needed for people's livelihood is also not less.

Any disaster relief will cost tens of millions of taels of silver. In addition, because we are in the Little Ice Age, there is no one in the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty who is not affected by the disaster.

Even after two years, Wu Yu has promoted sweet potatoes to most parts of the country, but there is still not enough food.

In addition to the money-eating beast of the Research and Development Department and the railway laying of the Ministry of Industry, it can be said that Wu Yu now wants to split a penny into two.

"It seems that it is time to clean up those termites!"

Wu Yu, who was crazy about poverty, finally decided to target those princes and clans.

The court spends so much money every year to support those people, but whenever the country is in trouble, they are not willing to contribute. If that's the case, why does Wu Yu still spend so much money to support them.

Especially the Fu Wang in Luoyang and the Shu Wang in Sichuan, the two biggest termites in the country, should have been cleaned up long ago.

"Come here, call Wei Zhongxian!"
