I am subjugated again [Quick Transmigration]

"Wei Zhongxian stuffed three banknotes for you?" Bi Xia touched his chin, "It seems that he is quite knowledgeable about current affairs!"

Yi Zhi put the banknotes on the table, "Each denomination is 100 taels."

The sum is 300 taels of silver, which is quite a fortune. Wei Zhongxian has earned a lot of gold in these years, and it doesn't feel bad at all to use a mere 300 taels of silver as a stepping stone to the new emperor.Bi Xia held the banknotes and put them into his arms without changing his expression, "Next time he bribes you again, he should try harder."

Yi Zhi smiled and helped Bi Xia rub her waist, "What are you going to do now?"

"I checked the current financial situation of the imperial court."

The current financial situation of the Ming court can be called very bad. In the past few years when his elder brother was the emperor, the annual treasury income was less than 700 million yuan, and generally only 300 million silver income; but compared with this, the annual military expenditure The expenditure is a large amount, tens of millions at every turn, and Tianqi's three-year military expenditure even reached more than 800 million silver.

Huge military expenditures have kept the national treasury in deficit.

The economic base determines the superstructure!People in later generations say that "Ming actually died in Wanli". Chongzhen's grandfather, Emperor Wanli, set a record of not going to court for 30 years, and there were fierce partisan struggles during his reign. However, relying on a series of tax reform policies implemented by the chief assistant Zhang Juzheng , the ZTE situation appeared in the Wanli period, and the treasury was abundant.It is a pity that many social hidden dangers are also buried.

Later, Bixia's father, Emperor Taichang, came to the throne, but he died suddenly because of a pill offered by his subordinates after only one month of reign. Immediately afterwards, Chongzhen's elder brother Zhu Youxiao, who loved carpentry, was pushed to the throne.The frequent replacement of emperors has made the political situation unstable, especially the ambitious Emperor Taichang died young because of the Hongwan case① before he had time to show his ambitions, and was replaced by Emperor Tianqi who had no interest in state affairs.

Bi Xia felt dizzy when he thought of the bad debts of the Ming Dynasty.With a sound social system and a highly developed economy and society from the Ming Dynasty to the later period, the political revolution has become what it is today, and he is also very sour in his heart.

"I plan to keep Wei Zhongxian." Bi Xia looked at the bad debt in front of him, "but he must cut off his wings first. In my previous life, my methods were too hasty. Today's Ming Dynasty can't stand the slightest political turmoil." gone."

In the 17 years of Chongzhen's reign, he cut off 54 ministers of the Ministry of War and replaced [-] cabinets. This kind of hasty employment method will only make the courtiers more centrifugal.Bi Xia looked at Yi Zhi, "I need your help."

Yi Zhi looked at the memorial piled up in front of Bi Xia, which became a hill, and rubbed Bi Xia's temples with some distress, looking at Bi Xia who was frowning, as if the time of the two had gone back hundreds of years ago, Chongzhen Sitting here powerlessly, watching the Daming country fall apart, but he didn't know how to persuade Chongzhen to let go of this country.

"What do you want me to do?"

Bi Xia wrote lightly on the memorial, and he is no longer an illiterate emperor with the memory of his previous life. "I will deal with Wei Zhongxian's party members in the army as appropriate, and Cui Chengxiu cannot stay." The position of Minister of War is too important to be held in the hands of others. "In addition, I decided to use Yuan Chonghuan, but I don't want to repeat the history of his private execution of Mao Wenlong."

In the years of war between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty—that is, the Manchu Qing Dynasty later, Yuan Chonghuan led his troops to win many battles during the reign of Tianqi, and Wei Zhongxian resigned from office and returned to his hometown due to jealousy.This anti-Qing hero has had many controversies in history, but the record of anti-Qing is very good. In his previous life, Bi Xia used Yuan Chonghuan.It's a pity that although Yuan Chonghuan didn't completely suppress Houjin, he also became a powerful enemy of Huang Taiji, and Chongzhen later executed him himself by using tricks.

Bi Xia recalled his previous life, when Yuan Chonghuan was reactivated by him, his performance was remarkable, but he felt that it was very inappropriate for him to deal with Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief of the left governor Pingliao in private.Mao Wenlong had confiscated Liaodong for many years, was arrogant, and demanded too much military pay from the imperial court every year. Bi Xia didn't like this man, but this man had a certain ability to suppress Hou Jin.

Bi Xia had no objection to Yuan Chonghuan's killing of Mao Wenlong, but it was a big problem if Mao Wenlong was executed privately and he was unable to control the opponent's army after the execution.These things are all things that he must be on guard against again... He felt a little dizzy.

Fortunately, he still has a lot of time to take his time. The only thing he lacks now is manpower.

"The post of Minister of the Ministry of War, I must put it in the hands of someone who can rest assured." Bi Xia looked at Yi Zhi firmly, and Yi Zhi understood, but he looked at his hand resting on Bi Xia's waist, and there was some dissatisfaction in his eyes. Abandon.

He took a few steps back slowly, and slowly closed his eyes, but after three breaths, when he walked to Bi Xia's side, there was another Yi Zhi left in place!

Bi Xia stared dumbfounded at the other Yi Zhi who appeared, and smelled a familiar smell on the tip of his nose, "Su Su Su Daji!"

Su Daji's face was complicated, and she just nodded slightly when she heard Bi Xia's words.

"..." Bi Xia became excited in an instant, and hugged Yi Zhi, "I forgot that you can still split! How many can you separate!"

A stream of cold sweat rolled down Yi Zhi's forehead, "...what do you want?"

"I'm short of manpower!" Bi Xia cheered up, "Look, I need someone from the Ministry of War. I'm really worried about the military salary. I also need to put good people on Wei Zhongxian's side. I have to completely strip him of his power before I can do it." Let him be used by me, and I have to keep an eye on Yuan Chonghuan all the time..."

Yi Zhi stopped his words, "Take your time. I think we must use some people who can be controlled."

Hearing that Bixia calmed down a little, he pondered for a while, "In my previous life, I dealt with Wei Zhongxian and restarted the Donglin Party②, but now I don't want to trust those people who talk in plain language and form cliques for personal gain. Wei Zhongxian is a man of current affairs. If he wants to If you want to save your life, you should know what to do."

Su Daji stood quietly by the side without saying a word, Bi Xia went over and patted him on the shoulder, "Oh, brother Daji, long time no see! This time I will trouble you, anyway, you used to be the emperor's favorite with all the power Finally, I can rest assured that the Ministry of War will hand it over to you, right?"

Su Daji looked at Bixia's hand on his shoulder, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, "Do you dare not follow me?"

Bi Xia immediately ordered Yuan Chonghuan to be used, and at the same time tossed and tossed the resumes of the courtiers hundreds of times, trying to find a man who could be used.This time Bi Xia decided to adopt a gentle approach, and then to force the peasants to rebel with the drastic reforms like in his previous life. If he created a Li Zicheng rebel army for himself, the gain would outweigh the loss.

The Kewei Group must be disintegrated, and at the same time, Bi Xia will also sort out the current situation one by one.

The three major disasters at the end of the Ming Dynasty were eunuchs, the clan and the army. He was already dealing with the Kewei Group, and he was also trying to close the army. As for the clan... Bi Xia sneered, and he had no patience for the clan. .

The clan of the Ming Dynasty was a huge group of parasites. Bi Xia checked the clan's jade certificate, and now there are nearly 20 children surnamed Zhu enjoying the support of the state treasury. This is simply unprecedented.At the founding of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang set the standard for the royal family salaries to be 10000 shi for the prince Lumi, 2000 shi for the county king, and 1000 shi for the general of the town...gradually reduced to 200 shi for the lieutenant of Fengguo, and 2000 shi for the princess and consort. With a salary of 30.00 shi, the annual expenditure of these clan children alone exceeds [-]% of the tax and food income!

Not only that, these clan children were entrusted to all parts of the country and became the biggest dignitaries in the state capitals. They colluded with the local wealthy and gentry to monopolize the huge profit industries such as the salt industry, and domineering in various places, as if they have become local emperors!

Bi Xia looked at the red words on the treasury account, and felt his eyes were burning red!He eats chaff and swallowed vegetables here, but the group of cheating ancestors are eating fish and meat!It's unbearable!

He put the clan roster in front of him, rolled up his sleeves vigorously, and prepared to take this group of people first, and at the same time, he also planned to let the world see his determination to kill relatives righteously!

This side of Bi Xia is ready to meet the upcoming challenges and is ready to start, and that side of Wei Zhongxian has also received a tip from the court.

Inside Wei Zhongxian's mansion, Wei Zhongxian stood in the study and looked at the fallen leaves outside the window, "He activated Yuan Chonghuan?"

The informant said in a high-pitched voice, "The decree has been sent to the Secretary of General Administration, and it will reach Yuan Chonghuan soon."

At this time, the city of Beijing has entered autumn, and the temperature has slowly dropped.Wei Zhongxian wrapped his outer robe tightly. He didn't know that it was in the Little Ice Age at this time, but he only knew that the cold waves in the past few years had come earlier and earlier.But in September, the leaves outside the window had already covered the entire courtyard, and there was an inexplicable sense of depression.

"In the past few years... the situation has gotten worse." Wei Zhongxian is very clear about the current national treasury bank. When Chongzhen was still a believer in the king, he was quite tough in his actions. Now that he is an emperor, is it possible to soften his tactics?He thought of the bank note he sent out, "What is the origin of that little Yizi next to the emperor?"

"I don't know the real name of Yi Gonggong. He entered the palace some time ago. I heard that he is the emperor or a close friend in the mansion of Xin Wangshi. He is very favored by His Majesty. After Mr. Ke left the palace, Yi Gonggong took over the palace. affairs, at least one-third of the posts in the palace have been replaced by newcomers."

Wei Zhongxian walked back to the desk, picked up a pair of rare walnuts on the table and played with them, but his eyes remained on the fallen leaves outside the window. After a long time, he waved his hand to signal the informant to back down, walked to the desk and put down the walnuts, and then Grind the ink lightly.

Although he has followed Emperor Tianqi for many years, Emperor Tianqi himself has no intention of governing, so he does not have a deep feeling for the suppression of imperial power.When Emperor Tianqi fell into the water and was seriously ill, he foresaw what might happen later, so he desperately tried to save Emperor Tianqi's life, but failed.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, he has already prepared for this, and now he only wants to save his life.

Thinking of Emperor Chongzhen's mention of his "big tail", Wei Zhongxian heaved a long sigh, and finally made up his mind.

Wei Zhongxian raised his sleeves, and lightly wrote, "Your Excellency Yang Weiyuan personally."

The author has something to say: ①The red pill case: one of the three major cases in the late Ming Dynasty. Emperor Taichang was seriously ill and had vomiting and diarrhea. Li Kezhuo gave him a red pill. He felt very comfortable after taking it. I took one, but died suddenly that night... A lot of harem fights and party feuds were involved behind it...

②Donglin Party: A bureaucratic political group dominated by Jiangnan scholar-bureaucrats that fought against other parties for decades at the end of the Ming Dynasty. It was called the "Donglin Party" by the opposition because it gave lectures at Donglin Academy.They advocate anti-corruption, openness of speech, and opposition to eunuchs interfering in politics. The main things they do are to participate in factional struggles, satirize the government, and interfere with the succession of imperial power.
