Daming: Insist on 60 billion explosive soldiers unwaveringly

Chongzhen was quickly browsing all kinds of news presented by the guards in front of him, his frown never loosened.

Since Chongzhen reused Jin Yiwei last time in order to investigate Zhu Youchen's true strength, he has also paid a lot of attention to the various information collected by Jin Yiwei.

Especially at this moment about the news about the people of Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen took it very seriously.

The entire imperial study room was silent, all the young eunuchs standing around stood by the wall, bowed their heads, only the chief eunuch Wang Chengen stood at the foot of Chongzhen, but he only handed over the memorial, and did not even look at the paper on it. content.

He knew very well that what Chongzhen hated the most was eunuchs interfering in political affairs. The example of Wei Zhongxian was vivid in his memory. Even though he was Chongzhen's most trusted eunuch at this moment, he did not dare to cross this red line of Chongzhen.

Whoa whoa whoa! !

Suddenly, the speed of Chongzhen's scrolling through the memorial became faster. Looking at a memorial in his hand, he almost skipped to check the contents. His originally sad face unconsciously accumulated anger.

"boom!!!"

Chongzhen slapped the memorial he was reading on the imperial case with a slap, and shouted angrily: "All these profiteers should be killed!"

The emperor was furious, bleeding and drifting away.

Even though Chongzhen hadn't reached such a level, at this moment, he was extremely angry with a strong murderous aura, which made the little eunuchs standing around trembled in fright.

Immediately afterwards, all the eunuchs knelt down on the ground and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Wang Chengen also fell to his knees on the ground, but at this moment, looking at the extremely angry Chongzhen, he couldn't help persuading him: "Your Majesty must calm down, anger hurts your body, for the sake of the Great Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty must take care of the dragon body!"

The anger in Chongzhen's heart dissipated a lot as soon as he said a word, and he spit out the suffocation in his chest, but he still couldn't stop Xinzhong's anger. He held up the memorial he had just read to signal with an angry face, and his voice sounded like a low growl. :

"I really don't know if I don't see it, I was shocked when I saw it."

"In just a few years, the price of rice in Ming Dynasty has grown from 15 taels of silver per stone to the current [-] taels of silver per stone."

"15 taels of silver for a stone? 15 taels of silver for a stone! With such an expensive price, who in the dawn of tomorrow can afford rice?"

As soon as the words fell, Chongzhen slapped the memorial in his hand on the table, his face was already gloomy, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Immediately, the atmosphere in the entire imperial study room became heavy instantly...

Chapter 401

"Your Majesty must calm down!"

Wang Chengen immediately spoke a word of persuasion, and waved his hands to the little eunuchs standing around to signal everyone to go down.

All the people immediately withdrew from the Imperial Study Room as if they had been pardoned.

In an instant, the entire imperial study room was completely quiet, and Chongzhen's panting voice was amplified immediately~.

Wang Chengen stepped forward at this moment, and while sorting out the disturbed memorials, he said softly: "Your Majesty! There is no way to do this. Of course, these profiteers should be killed, but without them, the price of food in the world will not know how much it will cost." What a mess-like."

"So they still have merit!!" Chongzhen sneered suddenly when he heard the words, if the person who said this was not Wang Chengen in front of him, the rest of the people would have been taken down by Jin Yiwei.

Wang Chengen gave a wry smile, and then said:

"The price of this rice didn't just rise in recent years, but since the Chenghua period, the price has remained high, and it has been rising every year. The common people are miserable, but in fact the merchants are also about to suffer. It's a heavy burden."

Chongzhen frowned, and looked at Wang Chengen with some doubts in his eyes, but at this moment the anger in his heart subconsciously disappeared, and he no longer had the momentum of shouting and killing just now.

"Why?" Chongzhen was a little puzzled: "These merchants should be ecstatic when the rice is sold at such a high price."

Hearing the words, Wang Chengen couldn't help but smiled wryly again in his heart, and it was only at this moment that he suddenly heard that there was only Chongzhen in front of him at this moment.

Moreover, he has a noble status and has never had much contact with businessmen.

But at this moment, looking at Chongzhen in front of him, Wang Chengen felt sour in his heart. There was no way to connect Chongzhen in front of him with his grade.

At this moment, Chongzhen said that no one would believe that he was a 30-year-old man. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were comparable to those of a 40-year-old middle-aged man.

Wang Chengen couldn't help but sighed in his heart: "Hey! Your Majesty is really suffering!"

Of course, Wang Chengen only said such words in his heart, and did not say them to add to Chongzhen's unhappiness.

Immediately, Wang Chengen restrained his thoughts, and then replied seriously:

"Buying low and selling high has been what businessmen have been doing since ancient times. But since the Wanli period, there have been constant wars and natural disasters in the Ming Dynasty. The grain harvest has been failing year after year. The price of grain among the people has also remained high, and the cost of harvesting grain has also continued. The increase, that is, sometimes even with money can not find food."

No one is a fool. Once the grain harvest fails, everyone will subconsciously accumulate grain, and naturally there will be less grain in circulation in the world.

Moreover, most of these grains are grains flowing out of the homes of landlords and gentry, which means that the price of grain collected by merchants will never be low.

Moreover, there is a problem with the source of grain. There is less and less rice that can flow into the market, but grain is a just-needed product.

Rare is precious!

As a result, the price of food has become more and more expensive.

At this moment, Chongzhen felt that the price of 15 taels a stone was shocking, but he never imagined that the grain of Ming Dynasty would be as high as 30 taels a stone in the future.

Still priceless.

However, at this moment, all this has been completely changed with the arrival of Zhu Youchen, and the situation of high food prices will be completely gone.

It was the first time for Chongzhen to hear such news, and his brows immediately frowned, he still had doubts about Wang Chengen's words in his heart.

"Has Daming reached such a point?"

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·??????????????

Wang Chengen nodded immediately, and replied with a sad face: "The minister's family wrote a few days ago saying that the food grown in the family's land is not enough to feed the family, and begged me to find an errand for the family in the capital. Do, feed yourself."

Chongzhen's pupils shrank instantly when he heard the words, and he stood up from the dragon chair suddenly, and asked in shock: "What? Even your family can't get enough to grow the land?"

Chongzhen was completely bewildered at the moment, feeling like his world was spinning.

Who is Wang Chengen?He is the eunuch who is the supervisor of ceremonies, and at the moment he is the admiral of Jin Yiwei and Dongchang.

 …  

In terms of identity and status, such a person is definitely more than six ministers, and in fact, one person is under one person and above ten thousand people.

Chongzhen knew that Wang Chengen was not corrupt, and his family only had a dozen acres of land.

However, even if Wang Chengen didn't give any instructions, his fields would definitely be top-notch fields, and cattle and water sources would be absolutely indispensable.

Therefore, the food produced by his family's land is definitely the highest output capacity of the field.

But now, Wang Chengen's family even said that they couldn't get enough to eat.

Now that even Wang Chengen's family members are coming to the capital to ask for a living, one can imagine what will happen to the rest of the farmers.

Not enough to eat, hungry, easy to eat each other, hungry everywhere...

When Chongzhen thought of this, he couldn't help shivering, and his eyes showed uncontrollable panic, which was more frightening than hearing Zhu Youchen's rebellion.

People take food as their heaven!

At this moment, if one is not good, the whole world of Daming will be in chaos.

Cold sweat soaked Chongzhen's dragon robe in an instant, and Chongzhen suddenly found that his Daming was really in jeopardy and was in danger!big.

Chapter 402

Cheer up.

confidence!

Chongzhen calmed down his mood in an instant, and he cheered up again, his eyes sparkling.

"Be flat!"

Hearing this, all the kneeling people outside stood up, but everyone looked at Chongzhen with even more reverence at this moment.

After saying that, Chongzhen looked at Queen Zhou, with a comforting smile on his face:

"I'm fine, it's just that the recent state affairs are worrying, and I have a lot of worry and anger in my heart."

Chongzhen waved his hands as he spoke, unwilling to let Queen Zhou worry about it.

An emperor again, but a man after all.

No man would reveal his weak side in front of his woman, and Chongzhen was no exception.

In particular, in order to save the cost of the harem, Queen Zhou took the initiative to lead by example and cut down on food and clothing. She lived a poor life and truly shared the joys and sorrows.

Chongzhen was even more unwilling to worry about Queen Zhou.

When Empress Zhou heard the words, although there were still tears on her face, she still smiled at Chongzhen at this moment, and said admonishingly:

"Even though the state affairs are worrisome, your majesty shoulders the responsibility of the country, so it is even more necessary to take care of the dragon's body."

The concern in the words is clearly revealed.

Although they are a married couple, their identities are different after all.

Chongzhen naturally knew this truth, but after venting at this moment, not only did he feel much better in his heart, but he also became stronger.

After Queen Zhou finished speaking, seeing Chongzhen was really cheered up, and the worries in her heart dissipated a lot. Looking at the scattered memorials on the imperial case, she continued:

"Since His Majesty is dealing with state affairs, my concubine will resign."

After saying that, Empress Zhou immediately took the female officials behind her to leave, and the surrounding guards and others also dispersed one after another.

It's just that today's incident gradually spread throughout the Forbidden City through the mouths of these people...

After everyone left, only Chongzhen and Wang Chengen were left in the imperial study room, and at this moment Wang Chengen had sorted out all the memorials.

"call!"

Chongzhen took a deep breath, and then sat back on the dragon chair with his hands on the imperial case, staring at the memorial in front of him solemnly.

At this moment, the top priority is undoubtedly the food problem.

But how to solve the food problem?

This seemingly simple question actually contains thousands of clues, and it cannot be explained clearly in one sentence.

Thinking of this, Chongzhen immediately ordered to Wang Chengen next to him: "Pass the decree, let the six ministers come to the Imperial Study Room to discuss matters immediately."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Wang Chengen immediately ran out of the imperial study room to ask someone to do it, while Chongzhen restarted reviewing the memorials alone in the imperial study room.

At this moment, he is more serious and diligent than before.

God rewards hard work!

"The situation in Ming Dynasty is getting worse and worse, so I will be more diligent and caring than before, and I will never let the foundation of my ancestors be destroyed in my hands."

Chongzhen's face was determined, and the browsing like a horse on a horse and flowers in the past has completely turned into a careful reading at this moment.

Even though it has been approved by the six ministers above, Chongzhen still meticulously re-read it and re-authorized it...

……

Soon, in less than half an hour, the six ministers gathered in Chongzhen's imperial study.

"Long live my emperor!"

Qian Yiqian and other six people saluted Chongzhen together.

Along the way, everyone found out the ins and outs of the matter from Wang Chengen's mouth.

Therefore, everyone estimated that what Chongzhen wanted to inquire about was probably the issue of food.

But to everyone's surprise, Chongzhen didn't talk about the food immediately after they were flattened. Instead, he pointed to the one-foot-thick memorial on the imperial case and said:

"I have re-authorized these memorials, and you can take them back and re-apply..."

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words. The memorial was the most appropriate solution they made based on their own experience. At this moment, the emperor re-issued the order, clearly dissatisfied with the result.

This……

Everyone didn't know what to do for a while, so they accepted the memorial brought by Wang Chengen, and then they agreed to Chongzhen.

"According to the order."

They really didn't know what to say other than this answer.

Chongzhen has already stated clearly that they should take it back and re-apply, obviously at this moment they will not be given a chance to defend themselves.

The next moment, everyone put the memorial in their hands back into their sleeves, and then they all looked at Chongzhen above them, ready to talk about today's business.
