Daming: Start with an Altar of Luck

Chapter 116
"I knew when I came back, I would go home and have a look." Xu Da secretly sighed in his heart. How could he have imagined that he had just returned from the Northern Expedition, and before the welcome banquet was over, he would be dragged to the New World by Old Zhu, and then It never stopped, first resisting Li Zicheng, and then facing the Manchu invasion.

As a result, I didn't talk about going home to have a look. I was so busy every day that I didn't dare to be careless, for fear of disappointing the emperor's grace given to me by my superiors, so Xu Da didn't write a single letter to my family these days. For the generals of the Ming Dynasty who lived in the late Ming world, Empress Ma arranged for people to notify their families. At the same time, for the families of these generals, Lao Zhu and Empress Ma generously rewarded them with gold, silver and pills.

Fortunately, this emotion only flashed in Xu Da's heart, and was forgotten by Xu Da. The most important thing now is to win this war. The power of the war.

The rest can be handed over to Li Shanchang and others with peace of mind. At that time, Xu Da will not need to continue to sit here, and he will be able to go home and have a look.

"Report to Your Majesty, what was expected in the previous court has already happened. Martial arts skills have been spread in a small area in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty. The skills were brought over by the people who migrated last time from the late Ming world." Hu stood in front of the case and reported to Lao Zhu about the recent investigation of Jin Yiwei.

"Well, this is inevitable. After all, the number of people relocated is huge. It is normal for Shanchang to have some omissions, and the exercises will eventually spread in Daming. The reason why the imperial court does not spread them widely is also because the imperial court does not have enough food and grass. You need to know that you need to eat enough to practice, and you need to supplement meat and elixir, otherwise you will only die and use hundreds of thousands of troops to practice, and the court will already have some difficulties. If Xu Da and Li Shanchang did not solve it by themselves in the late Ming Dynasty Regarding food and grass issues, I am afraid that it may not be possible to promote martial arts in the army so quickly."

"Let Jin Yiwei pay close attention to it. Don't worry about the spread in a small area. Just spread it. Jin Yiwei can control the area well. Don't let people who have obtained martial arts practice make trouble. At the same time, Jin Yiwei will not only The salary will be distributed, and the elixir will also be distributed according to the contribution, you go back and sort out a detailed process, how to exchange the elixir according to the credit, after sorting out, give me the last booklet."

Lao Zhu thought for a while and said to Er Hu that for the spread of martial arts, the Ming court had already been psychologically prepared. After all, if you want a population, you have to accept the consequences of the migration.

Fortunately, Daming's firearms and daily strong luck gave Lao Zhu unparalleled self-confidence, so Lao Zhu did not panic at all. The Ming court sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and watched the changes in the world. The rats in the heart are hanged out.

Faced with such a miraculous technique, Lao Zhu did not believe that these people would not be tempted. As long as they were tempted, under Jin Yiwei's investigation, flaws would be revealed, and Lao Zhu would be able to take advantage of the opportunity to wipe out these remnants of the party.

Although Jinyiwei is not yet pervasive, it is developing rapidly every day, and the number of Jinyiwei personnel is increasing at an alarming rate every day.

The biggest problems facing Lao Zhu before are being solved one by one. The situation of the Ming Dynasty short of money is long gone. The silver in the world at the end of the Ming Dynasty flows into the beginning of the Ming Dynasty in large quantities every day.

It is estimated that the food problem can be solved within one or two years. After all, breeding also takes time. Fortunately, these types of grains can be grown twice a year.

What Lao Zhu is most concerned about now is the promotion of Daming's luck. At the same time, after Daming solves the end of Ming world, the rewards for officials in the court are important matters that must be resolved immediately. It can't even be delayed any longer. After the end of the Ming Dynasty, officials must be granted titles.

In the past few months, since the end of Ming Dynasty, the world has continuously sent supplies and cattle and livestock to Daming every day. If Daming hadn't been a mess in the north, and most of the grain, grass, and cattle had supported the north, Daming would have become rich by now.

As for Yang Xian from Yangzhou Prefecture, he thought that he would have to stay in Yangzhou for at least five or six years before he could build a new Yangzhou City in the ruins. Unexpectedly, after the concrete road was built to Yangzhou City, a large amount of materials from the Ming Dynasty would also be transported. At the same time, the newly migrated people also left about 1 people in Yangzhou, and the rest went further north.

Yang Xian looked at the materials and gold and silver in the newly-built Yangzhou city government yamen treasury. Yang Xian was sure that he would return to the central court of the Ming Dynasty within three years, and he would return to the power center of the Ming Dynasty with the achievement of restoring Yangzhou City.

And the rich merchants in the south were all seriously injured after the backstab by the Shen family last time. Although they all had backhands, [-]% of all their money was taken away by the Shen family in cooperation with Jin Yiwei.

What disgusted these rich merchants and wealthy families the most was that when Jin Yiwei came to take away the money, they actually said that it was because they wanted to contribute to Ming Dynasty and contribute to the country. For such a fucking reason, they even awarded them a plaque in the end and asked them to Must be hung up.

At this time, in their hearts, they would rather have their family ransacked and exterminated because their plot failed, than accept such humiliation of murder.

But thinking about the gold and silver treasures they hid in the countryside or other places, as well as their family members, they could only swallow this breath hard. When Lao Zhu searched for the money of wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, the business tax was reformed at the same time. They are dissatisfied with the increase in commercial taxes, and they will not be able to spend huge amounts of gold and silver to bribe the officials in the court for a while, and they will not have the capital to instigate civil uprisings.

Therefore, the implementation of the commercial tax reform was extremely smooth. These wealthy families who contributed nine out of ten of their wealth all recognized it with their noses. Who made them run out of money, but they are still alive. Now they recognize the high amount In terms of business tax, they are nothing more than earning less than before, but at least they can still live and hope to live a prosperous life again.

At the same time, the families no longer dare to unite as before. Who knows if there will be another Shen family among them. If there is another Shen family and they are copied again, then they really might as well die. .

So the South where there was some turmoil just now has calmed down again. There are no more thoughtful people in the past. If you don’t even have money, who will do things for you? At this time, if it is said that the person who hates the richest businessmen in Jiangnan is no longer Zhu Yuanzhang , but Shen Rong, the perfidious Shen family, who thought he was on a boat, but he jumped off the boat in the middle, and even cut a hole in the boat with his backhand. Well, now everyone has nothing to play, no one Can't believe anyone.

Coupled with Lao Zhu's series of actions to win over the hearts of the people, these people are also the reason why these people dare not move anymore. You must know that every major event now, the imperial court's orders are directly sent to various places to announce the orders. In the past, they were nothing more than posting in major cities. Now It is a decree directly sent to each city and every city with the imperial decree.

After the announcement in the prefectural city, go to the county seat. After the announcement in the county seat, go to the countryside to announce it. If you don’t announce all of them, it will not be considered complete. Let Lao Zhu see the harm of the imperial power not going to the countryside in the past dynasties, so he would rather increase manpower and material resources, and convey many important orders of the imperial court to the localities.
