I am the king of the dead

Chapter 359

"The water in the West Lake is about to freeze? To what extent?" Zhu Qiyu said with a frown.

This is a natural disaster, not a warning from heaven or man.

Li Binyan said helplessly: "Now it's just the lake embankment and the stone barriers in the lake are frozen. In a few days, the West Lake will be open for pedestrians."

"Pedestrians can walk in the Inner West Lake. If the Outer West Lake is also frozen, Your Majesty, it's better to take it easy. After all, if merchants are like ditch water, if they continue to chase after them fiercely, I'm afraid something serious will happen."

All the ministers were discussing, Zhu Qiyu squinted his eyes, looking at the half-burned dragon banner in front of Zhu Qizhen.

Surrender is never half lost, surrender is never only death.

Zhu Qiyu killed Zhu Qizhen, and there is no such thing as losing half of the surrender.

"What about the Ministry of Industry? How much coal do we have available for use?" Zhu Qiyu's first thought was to invite people.

But Wang Cheng, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the canal is already frozen. We hurried to arrive at Nanya before the canal was frozen."

"The coal-fried wood in Bingziku of the Ministry of Industry is only 30 catties, which is not enough for millions of people in Nanya, let alone people in Jiangnan and Huaihe Rivers."

There are only three saddle factories in the Guanye Institute, how to transport coal to the south?This is impractical.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and looked at Wang Hu, the household doctor.

Wang Hu shook his head and said, "Once the imperial court starts to rush to buy, if silver coins cannot be purchased, they may have to use silver, and they may take the opportunity to hit the imperial court hard."

Lu Zhong looked at the helpless appearance of the court officials, and said in a vibrating voice: "Your Majesty, how about ransacking the house! I am good at this!"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "Since the court program has been set, if it violates the righteousness of the struggle for power that I have set myself, it will be a loss of justice for the world, and there will be no reason or mistake for me to steal the house. What's the difference?"

Lu Zhong took a deep breath, feeling a little helpless.

Li Binyan took a deep breath. He knew that His Majesty might not like to hear what he said next, but he still wanted to say it.After all, it is related to the people's livelihood in Zhejiang, Huaihe, Nanjing, Luzhou and other places.

Li Binyan said very seriously: "Your Majesty, after the Meixianglou case, Jiangnan Shilin has already felt how sharp His Majesty's sword is, and the resistance is now very weak. If there is a slight relaxation, they will probably be willing to listen. "

Zhu Qiyu frowned and asked: "How to ease it? Is the Advisory Council set up to wrestle with them?"

Li Binyan immediately shook his head and said, "How can it be possible! It's a trade-off between the administrative system and the system. How can the Advisory Council be reopened?"

Li Xian quickly took over the words and said: "No, no, then the Advisory Council is usurping the power of the imperial court, how can it be established?"

Zhu Qiyu sat up straight, and said with piercing eyes: "Do you know what Zhao Wuyan said? Their three appeals are to reopen the Advisory Council, to reduce the sea tax, and to reduce the money customs. These three appeals are in order. Progressive, not parallel."

"Don't you think they are not confused? I warned them face to face, they are still lawless, have no rules and regulations, and still want to do the same things that are greedy and rich."

"But do you say they are confused? They know that the first priority is to reopen the Advisory Council, knowing the key to usurping power."

"They're not stupid, they're just doing things according to past practices."

Are these idiots really stupid?
It's just that it's been too long since the Hongwu period, and they have forgotten the appearance of harsh punishments and laws.

They are not stupid, on the contrary they are very shrewd. They intend to use subtle means to control the people's livelihood, and then threaten the emperor to agree to their conditions.

It's just that they didn't expect that His Majesty would follow his words and go deep into the enemy's interior, even agitating and shouting!

Where have they seen such an outrageous emperor?

Li Binyan said a little dejectedly: "Your Majesty, I beg you to forgive some of the criminals in Meixianglou. After all, some of them are just for fun. Hard labor, hard labor is changed to forgiveness."

"Then use gold flowers and silver to buy goods, suspend harsh punishments, and survive this predicament."

Zhu Qiyu laughed, looked at Li Binyan and asked with a smile: "When it was over, Governor Li was impeached by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. In the end, he had to go to court and was convicted. Governor Li, what do I say to you?" Woolen cloth?"

If Zhu Qiyu really listened to what Li Binyan said and did it, it would be Li Binyan who died.

To intercede for the criminal, those censors, a group of hungry and faint wolves, would swarm up and tear Li Binyan to pieces.

Fengxian officials don't care which faction you belong to. They are like fundamentalists, and they don't care what circumstances you have made these decisions and how many difficulties you have.

Li Binyan didn't answer. Since he said it, he naturally thought of the consequences.

In fact, he can completely shut up. After all, this matter has little to do with him.

But Li Binyan said it anyway, because his temperament seemed a little straightforward, and he dared to speak out.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said, "No, I'll forgive you this time."

"They will only be bolder! More rampant! More unscrupulous! They will think that I, that the court is easy to bully, and then become more lawless!"

"Actually, in the end they still want to get the Councilor Council out."

"This time it's a cold wave, what about next time? It's a famine. Once they think this trick works, they will do everything they can, and the natural disaster will eventually turn into a man-made disaster."

Yu Qian didn't speak all the time, his face was very calm, and he didn't panic at all. He even went to Ma'anshan to inspect the saddle factory to ensure orderly progress after thinking about the dismissal of the dynasty.

Yu Qian knows His Majesty too well.

His Majesty likes to be lenient when he predicts the enemy, and even the outrageous thing of the world's attack on Ming was expected before the capital camp was launched.

Natural disasters and cold waves, although he wasn't sure if His Majesty had thought of them in advance, he was sure that His Majesty should be prepared.

And he also firmly believes that his Majesty has a way.

Zhu Qiyu looked around and asked calmly, "Don't you have any good ideas?"

The faces of the officials are full of helplessness, don't they know His Majesty's temperament?If you don't know why you still have to participate in the court meeting?

If there is a way, do you still have to let His Majesty wrong yourself?

Zhu Qiyu looked at the expressions of the ministers, and finally looked at Yu Qian and asked, "Where is Yu Shaobao?"

Yu Qian bowed his head and said: "First of all, we should strictly prohibit hoarding, and urge merchants to maintain the smooth flow of goods. If someone dares to hoard during the cold wave, once it is verified, I think they should be hung up in the Qinhuai River, just like the old things in Tonghui River. both sides of the river."

"If one batch is not enough, hang the second batch, and if the second batch is not enough, then hang them all."

There are still so many black people hanging on the Tonghui River. When the grain price in the capital skyrocketed, Zhu Qiyu directly used the most tragic method to hang all the black people.

Li Xian looked at Yu Qian dully, didn't Yu Qian and Master Chen Xun have been persuading His Majesty to be kind?

Think about the bustling Qinhuai River, which is full of corpses of profiteers. Can the Qinhuai River, a famous river through the ages, still be arty?
What kind of story, in front of the rows of corpses, has become a big joke.

Yu Qian continued: "Besides, I think that if you want to be a powerful family, isn't your best at making progress?"

"Your Majesty forgave them, but they relied on it and became even more rampant. Wouldn't it be a greater crime to be punished by the heavens? It would be better not to forgive."

Yu Qian is really doing it for the good of Haoyou's family. If His Majesty really condescends to second-class crimes this time, he will jump in front of His Majesty sooner or later and continue to die. At that time, His Majesty will be angered, and more people will die. .

Yu Qian, as always, is kind and kind.

As the person in charge of the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, he couldn't see more people dying.

Simply make clear the chariots and cannons, tell them where the line is, and they will die if they cross the line.

Zhu Qiyu added: "If they close their doors and close their businesses, they will issue an order to conscript shops and recruit shops. If they don't sell anything, then they will buy and sell by force! Military rationing is what it is."

Sitting together before the battle is Zhu Qiyu's way of raising the roof, and he is telling these guys clearly that once they start their tacit understanding and resist the will of the court, Zhu Qiyu intends to directly control the rationing by the military.

Anyway, Zhu Qiyu, Yu Qian, and Shi Heng are all familiar with this set. After the invasion of Shanxi Xingdusi and Jing'an Province, didn't they all use the military rationing system?

Since they wanted to resist to the end, Zhu Qiyu didn't regard Nanya as the land of the Ming Dynasty, but directly as a new land.

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath and said: "Aren't they going to make trouble? Then let them make trouble, don't you just want to force me to plow the world again?"

"Then plow again, and that's it!"

As always, Zhu Qiyu prepared for the worst.

Yu Qian bowed his head and continued: "Secondly, we should count last year's main daily necessities, the main material prices of firewood, rice, oil, salt and tea. Once the increase exceeds [-]%, we should release grain and coal to make adjustments."

"If the profit is [-]%, the green and yellow can be divided; if the profit is [-]%, then the mouth will be salivating; if the profit is [-]%, the chestnut will be picked from the fire."

"His Majesty's physical supplies are collected in various government and warehouses in Nanjing. Can you use them?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "Naturally, I can use everything, and I can't eat so much. This part is handed over to Ji Sheng. Lin Dadang and Wang Shizhong, are there any difficulties?"

Lin Xiu and Wang Hu said seriously, "No."

Yu Qian continued to speak: "Thirdly, we should fully announce the current situation and tell the people the current situation, instead of being caught off guard when the cold wave comes. Actively respond to the cold wave, and when necessary, let the people enter the city, live in shops, and official houses. among."

"There is also the issue of re-cultivation after the cold wave. These are all matters of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Li Xian with inquiries in his eyes.

Li Xian sat up straight and said loudly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

Li Xian was about to cry.

Being with those idiots in the imperial court, whatever happens, he is the one who is doing his best, and it's fine if the others don't help, they're all dragging their feet!

Nothing can be solved, nothing can be done.

Look at the present, as long as the direction is determined, there will be a lot of government orders that can be implemented immediately, formulated at the fastest speed, and then implemented!
What kind of efficiency is this?All he has to do now is do his part and get it done.

Whoever blocks will die!

Yu Qian said with a smile: "Finally, I set off for the saddle factory today and personally supervise the affairs of the saddle factory."

Zhu Qiyu looked at the Ministry of Industry, and asked with a smile: "Wang Shilang?"

Wang Xie shook his head and said, "Actually, one person is enough for me. I think Yu Shaobao is the one who sits in Nanjing City and participates in politics for His Majesty. Going to the saddle factory is really a waste of talent."

"Is Wang Shilang so confident?" Zhu Qiyu communicated a lot with Xu Siqi and Shi Pu. He knew that the Ministry of Industry were craftsmen who didn't talk much.

Wang Xie took a deep breath and said calmly: "Your Majesty still has more than 20 captives doing hard labor in the saddle factory, and Marquis Wuqing sits in the town. If I can't handle such errands again, wouldn't it be a big joke?"

"Your Majesty, I dare to issue a military order."

A minister who has climbed up to the Ministry of Industry, offended Wang Zhen when Wang Zhen usurped the state's weapon, and left the vortex of the capital safely, his talent and ability are not weak.

"Then Wang Shilang will go to the saddle factory."

Wang Qian bowed his head and said, "I accept the decree."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said to Qian: "Yu Shaobao, just stay in the overall situation of the capital organization."

Yu Qian bowed his head and said, "The minister leads the order."

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath and said, "Then let the ministers and workers of the Southern Yamen see the administrative efficiency of the Beiya."

"The detailed examination results will be sent to me, and I will personally be responsible for the examination. If you have merit, everyone will give you a reward!"

Xu Chengzong took a deep breath, very grateful.

Before his favorite concubine was divided into corpses by five horses before Fengyang Mansion, Xu Chengzong also hesitated whether to surrender.

After all, on the surface, Nan Ya's arrogance is actually more in his interest.

But what is the efficiency of Nan Ya's arrogance?
An army of 25 gathered under the city of Nanjing, and even the Fengyang Mansion with 5 to [-] people was unable to break through, and finally let him break through.

Fortunately, I didn't choose the wrong way back then.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the group of officials and continued: "Yu Shaobao has finished talking, let me talk about it."

"Before March next year, the ban on cutting mountains and cutting rocks will be fully lifted. All forest trees can be felled and burned for charcoal to survive the severe winter."

"Even the forest farms in Zijin Mountain and Fengyang Mansion can log. After the saddle factory can produce tools, they can also be used by the people first."

"It's equivalent to strengthening the wall and clearing the field."

Zhu Qiyu's decree is exactly the same as the original decree of the capital to strengthen the walls and clear the country. That winter, the Oirats went south to besiege the capital. Zhu Qiyu watched countless timbers being transported into the capital, and watched the Oirat bandits rampant outside the city.

The price of coal and firewood in that winter was always very low, and Zhu Qiyu built the Shijing factory the next year. If it weren't for the Shijing factory, the price of coal and firewood in Beijing would have risen a wave.

"Huh la la." There were bursts of rapid noises in the Wenhua Hall.

Xu Chengzong couldn't sit still and slipped to the ground.

"The crime of disrespect and death before the minister." Xu Chengzong was horrified to the extreme, he knelt on the ground and shivered.

The two correctors looked at His Majesty in doubt, should this be taken down?
Li Yingzhen from Zhongshushe and Zhao Yin from Like, when they were serving a big banquet, once drank too much and began to compete for seats, Zhu Qiyu forgave them.

Dishonesty in front of the emperor is completely a punishment, and it depends entirely on the emperor's will.

Zhu Qiyu didn't intend to deal with Xu Chengzong, so he said strangely: "Get up and talk, how did you get under the table?"

"The minister's mood was a little turbulent for a while, so he lost his sense." Where did Xu Chengzong participate in such a court meeting?Even the trees in Fengyangfu Forest Farm and Zijin Mountain have to be cut down?
Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "When the orthodox 14th year was cleared, all the trees in Changling were cut down. If they were not cut down, they would just be burned."

"This is not a common anger between man and god, it is a violation of the ancestor's decision."

Does it count?

Zhu Qiyu has made such a decision a lot. The ban on cutting mountains and cutting rocks is nothing more. Nan Ming understood.

Yu Qian looked at His Majesty, and it was exactly as he expected.

His Majesty must have made a plan in his heart, he was just checking for omissions and filling in the vacancies.

Your Majesty is lenient in predicting the enemy, and he is very lenient. How much effort has Yu Qian lost in this way?

Xu Chengzong said dully: "It doesn't count..."

It should count!
Xu Chengzong thought that he had to play a role, at least he couldn't force the people to cut down the trees in Zijin Mountain.

Here, His Majesty, he must have nothing to persuade him, what should we do?
That can only lead to the Haoyou family.

He is the most influential and influential person in the Nanjing area. He has to find a way and use means to tidy up this group of idiot-like powerful and powerful persons, so as to prevent them from offending His Majesty and being thundered. When chopping, he was implicated!
Who in this world is the best at dealing with powerful powerful families is naturally the bigger powerful powerful families.

It is inconvenient for His Majesty to do some things, but Xu Chengzong can do it!

Your Majesty's determination is like the stone of Mount Tai!If you want to fight against His Majesty, there is only one way to die!
