Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Chapter 2 If you want money, I have the conditions
  Zhu Cijiong, that is, Lu Mou, generously agreed to Chongzhen and gave him 300,000 yuan to pay for King Ningqin's departure. Chongzhen's eyes lit up: "How can the emperor come up with 300,000 yuan? Well, it's better to have more."

When Lu Mou heard this, he almost lost his temper.

Dad, how old am I? I’m only thirteen this year. You can’t afford it even for an emperor, but you ended up pinning your hopes on a little kid. It’s better to have more. Are you going too far?

But it can also be seen from this that Father Chongzhen is really at his wits end.

Well, let's see what I can do.

"The only way I can do this is to continue my father's donation and support."

Chongzhen became discouraged when he heard that his son's method, which he was full of confidence in, had been implemented by himself, but it had completely failed. The old method of donating money to help him. He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It won't work. Father, I ordered all the ministers, princes, and eunuchs to donate money to the country. As a result, even your grandfather and your mother secretly took out their own money and gave him one hundred taels of gold, hoping that he would Take the lead. As a result, the old bastard deducted eighty taels and only handed over twenty taels. He was like this, not to mention the ministers and princes. They all cried out that they were poor and didn't donate a penny."

Crying poor? When Li Zicheng asked them to donate, they also cried out for poverty. As a result, facing Liu Zongmin's bowl-like iron fist, they got 80 million taels of silver in Beijing.

He can get 80 million, but I can't get 800,000 just for fun.

"The donation method initiated by my father is wrong. If this matter is left to my son, I can get it for my father not to mention three hundred thousand, but three million."

Chongzhen's eyes lit up again: "Three million? Okay, then three million, I'll leave this matter to you."

At that time, Lu Mou was decisive in his heart and slapped his big mouth hard, and he also held the sole of his shoe and shot left and right.

Isn't this what I am looking for? Three hundred thousand is a lot. Three million, where can I find it for you?

"Three million, no problem. But I have four conditions. Father must agree to it." He gritted his teeth and fought hard.

"Don't mention four conditions, just forty-four hundred conditions. Father will agree to them all."

It seemed that Chongzhen didn't want to die either, which really made him anxious.

"The first condition is to reopen the East Factory immediately and I will be the factory supervisor."

When Chongzhen came to power, in response to the call of Gentleman Donglin, he personally abolished the Dongchang, the only secret service agency in the hands of the royal family, so that officials began to engage in corruption and bribery without any scruples.

No matter in any era, it is absolutely unimaginable that the central government does not have a secret service agency with absolute control, or to put it more nicely, a national security department.

When it came to reopening the East Factory, Chongzhen hesitated. This little guy is very ambitious.

What he was more worried about at this time was that he was afraid of ruining his reputation and being scolded by future generations as a lackey who was tyrannizing the world.

After all, Dongchang's reputation is too bad.

"Father, if there is a way for the third brother to open the Dongchang, then now that the country is about to be destroyed and the family is about to be destroyed, what are you still worrying about? Reopening the Dongchang now is for the survival of the Ming Dynasty. When we survive this Lock him up, we just need to lock him up again." Brother Prince supported.

Chongzhen hesitated for a long time, but finally the situation in front of him made him grit his teeth: "Okay, I promise you to reopen the East Factory, but as long as the task is completed, I will cancel it immediately."

I've reopened it, I've mastered it, why should I cancel it? That's impossible.

He ordered Wang Chengen to find the dusty official seal of Dongchang and stuff it directly into San'er's arms. "Tell me the second thing."

I happily wiped this treasure, which turned yellow and orange, and took a bite to confirm whether it was gold.

Ke Ya, copper, you can’t run away with this.

"The second condition is that no matter what means my sons and ministers use to deal with those ministers, my father will never be merciful and protect them."

Chongzhen now regards the ministers as enemies and drags out several of them every day to beat them up.

Nowadays, Chongzhen's playing tricks is not a trick for Qingliu to gain fame. It is really fighting to death, killing a few from time to time. The ministers who go to court every day have to make funeral arrangements at home first.

Therefore, he agreed to the second condition put forward by Lu Mou without hesitation: "I allow you to do this."

I can't force the minister for the sake of reputation, so let your son do it. Although this had the effect of asking his son to top the vat, Chongzhen only felt guilty for three seconds and then threw it away for nine days.

"Third point, I want to cause trouble for my master and uncle. Please stop my father and queen and never interfere."

The last time the father-in-law, Zhou Kui, withheld money from the queen's body, had already made Chongzhen feel completely cold towards this father-in-law, and his teeth were itching with hatred.

And Zhou Hou was also extremely disappointed with his father. No matter how hard San'er pressed Zhou Kui, Chongzhen and Zhou Hou would never care.

"Okay, I agree to this. You can tell me the fourth thing."

"Please allow me to check the accounts of the Household Department."

Chongzhen smiled bitterly: "Father knows very well that there is really no copper in the Ministry of Finance. What's the use of checking the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts. Besides, the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts are just those bastards, can it be true?"

Lu Mou shook his head: "Don't worry about this, just tell me whether you agree or not."

Although Chongzhen did not place any hope on the household department, he agreed for the sake of money.

Seeing Chongzhen's agreement, Lu Mou became very ambitious at that time and said again: "The four conditions have been met. Then, let us father and son discuss more than a dozen additional conditions under the four conditions."

Chongzhen came up and kicked him: "Get out——"

Lu Mou ran out in a hurry: "Okay."

At the great court meeting, the monarch and his ministers, who were doing routine business, were silent to each other. Faced with the imminent destruction of the country, the minister still remained indifferent.

Daming belongs to your old Zhu family. If it dies, it has nothing to do with us. At worst, we will be served by another master. Maybe, no, he will definitely be many times better than you, who is mean, unkind, ruthless, headstrong, doesn't trust gentlemen like us, and is cruel.

The reason why we still play with you every day is to keep this official rank. Fortunately, the new dynasty is waiting for a price and we can get a bigger one. Otherwise, everyone would have been sewing the "Chuang" flag.

Chongzhen looked at the whole hall coldly, as if there was no civil and military man with a long mouth.

He started his customary one-man show again, talking to himself: "I'm calling everyone here today. I have three things to announce."

You tell me, we all agree with you and have no objection.

"The first thing is that I decided to reopen the East Factory and appoint the Third Prince Ding Wang Zhu Cijiong as the factory director."

This incident should have caused an uproar in the whole court, but the ministers remained silent in response.

Your dynasty has only a few days to live, so you can do whatever you want. Is it still possible to make some flowers?

"The second thing is to appoint Dongchang to implement the donation and salary assistance."

Love appoints whomever you want, even if I come to you, I won’t pay a penny.

"The third thing is to appoint King Ding to check the accounts of the Accounts Department, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of War, and the James Mansion."

Ming Dynasty’s fiscal revenue was inexplicably five yuan. In addition to the four above, there is also an internal fund.

Check the accounts? You little brat, can you still fight against us old fools who falsify accounts?

Check it out, check it out, even if it is found out, it will only take a few days, what else can you do?
  Now the entire Ming Dynasty's bureaucrats are waiting for the opening of the new dynasty.

Looking at the expressions of each of his ministers, Chongzhen was no longer interested in saying anything. He flicked his sleeves and said, "Retreat from the court." Then he returned directly to the harem.

Returning to the harem, the harem has been tossed around by Lu Mou.
