Chapter 1154 Illusion
Emperor Wanli was very worried. He had forgotten how long he hadn't felt this way.

For some reason, poverty surrounds me.

And he has a feeling that poverty will be with him for a long time in the future.

"Zhu Yiliu and Shi Li, do you two know why there are always foolish kings in this world? I know."

On the way to Tsinghua Garden, the emperor said to the two younger brothers on horseback: "Because it is too expensive to be a Mingjun!"

How much does it cost the Emperor Daojun to make a pill?How much did Emperor Wuzong spend for his unbridled love of freedom?How much did Emperor Xianzong spend to tame wild animals?How much did Emperor Xuanzong spend to tease a cricket?How much did Emperor Renzong spend if he liked something to eat?

How much does Zhenxiu School spend on universal education for the people of the world?How much did it cost me to build the railway to facilitate frontier transportation?

It is not enough to spend all the money that the ancestors have spent on indulging in personal hobbies for several lifetimes.

"If I'm short on money, I really want to get all these generals who are going to the court ready to fight, and let them all go out to show me... a salute."

Wanli rode a tall horse and walked around, wearing a helmet and armor, crossing the streets and alleys under the guard of the Imperial Forest Army, attracting people in Beijing to watch from afar. Of course, such opportunities do not come every day. Most of the time, they have not been able to sneak a look. As soon as he saw the emperor's appearance, he was driven aside by the Imperial Forest Army.

Thinking about it again, there are only various flags left from beginning to end.

He is comfortable, but the two younger brothers who follow behind him all day long, these two little guys are twelve and thirteen, the emperor does not sit in a sedan chair, they naturally have to ride horses, and the two little radish sit on the back of a tall mixed-breed horse Unable to reach the stirrups, I walked all the way in fear.

"Your Majesty, here I am!"

Buta Shili, who was cautious, heard the emperor calling him, and hurriedly replied, and heard Wanli say in front: "Don't think too much, what I mean is to let all the generals go out to kill all those who may disobey you in the future, not to let They're going to attack Tumertravel."

Buta Shili really didn't think much about it.

He was born in the Kingdom of Jin, and he didn't have a complete understanding of Mongolian affairs. Now that he has lived in Daming for so long, he is wearing a hair scarf by his ears and eyes. All he sees is the map of the world in the military room, especially And following such an emperor who opened his mouth and shut his mouth to make the world have the same customs... Guess what he was thinking when he mentioned Mongolia?

"You said that your eldest brother is also the same. The country has prepared a state funeral for King Shunyi, and a letter has been sent to him. Send troops to the east, what good things are there in the east?"

"Big brother?"

Butasili didn't have a good impression of the eldest in the family. He and Qiqingha were almost 50 years younger. In this era, there was basically a generation gap of two or three generations. Besides, as Huangtai Jiqiqingha, he had already had his own tribe and was not free. Playing with him, the impression of the eldest brother in my mind is basically that he will come home every Chinese New Year.

Speaking of which, it would be better to get close to Wanli.

"To the east is the court of Tumen Khan, far, far away in the east."

"Your elder brother went to find Tumen Khan? The Tuman is gone. I really don't know what he thinks. The Tuman is too weak. He was not the opponent of your Tumochuan. In a real fight, King Shunyi will beat the three of them alone."

Hearing the emperor's words, Butasli was a little scared, and cowardly said: "Your Majesty, the Great Khan is the biggest Khan. No one can attack the Great Khan, and everyone must respect the Great Khan."

"That was before, your father didn't take the Tuman seriously. One of the conditions for surrendering to Daming was to let Daming only trade with Tumochuan, and ignore Chahar's profuse sweat." Speaking of this, Wanli was delighted Said: "Now you don't have to worry about it, Chahar, it's gone in my hands."

"I will build two railways first, from Tianjin to Wulianghai, from Xuanfu to Tumochuan." Wanli let go of the reins and stretched his arms on the horse's back: "In the future, when these two railways are completed, we will build them again in the future." Beyond the Great Wall connects Wulianghai and Guihua City, or it may be further north of Guihua City."

"That should be when you were canonized as the King of Shunyi. Cotton clothes, trousers, oil and sugar, all the troops, food and supplies will be transported there. The Daqinglong is all fortresses along the way. Every spring, the troops will go out to open up north and west. Attacking Oara... Ouch!"

He was busy talking, his hands were still swaying from side to side, and the emperor was almost knocked down by accident, so he stabilized his body and smiled, tightened the reins, turned his head and smiled at Buta: "I am behind you, I will give you a hand when the time comes." Tune the blunderbuss and artillery, none of them can beat you."

Wanli spoke so excitedly that he waved his hands excitedly and said, "If your elder brother doesn't come, I will directly confer you the title of King of Shunyi and let him drink the Northwest Wind, but you are too young, so temporarily let your mother live in Guihua City." Manage politics, and return to take charge in a few years."

Although he was excited, Butasili was not excited at all. He sighed and wanted to defend himself but dared not. Thanks to King Xiaolu, he asked him a few words on horseback, and then he opened his mouth to tell the truth: "Brother Huang, Brother Shi Li said that he doesn't want to fight with others, and wants the people to live and work in peace and contentment in Bansheng!"

Live and work in peace?

Wanli almost fell off his horse. You don’t look like a serious Mongolian thinking about doing business all day long. Now that you’ve gone one step further, you still plan to live and work in peace?

"The people in Bansheng, like the people in Daming, plow the fields and raise horses for self-sufficiency. They are very happy. I want the herdsmen in Tumochuan to be like that, not to fight or rob others."

This is a direction Wanli has never thought about. He feels...his empire has not yet reached the point where he can be obsessed with happiness. His people only have nine acres of land per capita. The counties counted the wealth of the people last year, and the average annual income per household in the last year Less than a hundred taels of silver.

Needless to say, his statistics are very clever, making the originally inaccurate data look accurate.

Because if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it, and everyone will conceal some property statistics; but relatively speaking, there are more people who do not pay taxes or county officials. balanced.

Emperor Wanli judged others by himself, and he didn't even have any money. What kind of happiness is he talking about?
Probably the wars experienced since childhood gave the emperor an illusion-he believed that all wars were profitable business.

In this way, laying a vast land for the people, eating and wiping the empire from top to bottom, and increasing the average land to fifty acres, can be called happiness.

However, he felt that what Buta Shili said was right. Seeing that he was about to reach Tsinghua University, he saw a large group of people waiting at the gate, and simply nodded and said to Buta Shili: "What you said is also reasonable. When the time comes, I will let you send out fewer troops, and let us send out the best soldiers... Well, let me see."

At the gate of Tsinghua Garden, amidst the sound of "meet your majesty" one after another, Emperor Wanli squinted his eyes and swept in front of everyone: "Which one is Ding Shiqing?"

　Good morning!
