Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 220 In the factory, we must carry the burden
Wang Chengen and Wang Dehua were standing outside Dongnuan Pavilion with different expressions, but what they were thinking in their hearts at this moment was different.

"Eunuch Wang... You said that the emperor has summoned Eunuch Cao in for so long, what exactly is he talking about?" Wang Dehua walked towards Wang Chengen, and asked in a low voice: "Could it be for Eunuch Fang? ..."

Wang Chengen frowned and interrupted: "What the emperor wants to do, what does he want to do, is it beyond our imagination? Have you forgotten such a simple truth?"

"Yes Yes."

Wang Dehua was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly explained: "Our family just cares about the emperor, and you also know that the emperor has been busy with government affairs since his triumphant return..."

"The eunuch Wang should not tell our family these words." Wang Chengen stepped forward and said, "All we have is bestowed by the emperor. We must keep in mind what we should do and what we should not do." Heart."

Wang Dehua repeatedly nodded in agreement, but he was slightly displeased.

I'm also on the job of the chief of ceremonies, and I don't see him when I look up all day long. As the eunuch of the chief of ceremonies, I want to be more transparent in private, hello, hello, hello everyone, is there something wrong?
Don't look at the twelve supervisors, four divisions and eight bureaus in the inner court. They have all been replaced by Emperor Chongzhen through the hands of Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun.

But as this group of eunuchs began to adapt to their positions, some small thoughts were born deep in their hearts, all of which were to gain more favor from Emperor Chongzhen.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Even eunuchs who have been cut off from their descendants also have rivers and lakes. Everyone wants to continue to climb up.

"squeak…"

The door of the palace, which was originally closed, was opened by Cao Huachun at this time. Seeing this, Wang Chengen and Wang Dehua arranged their python robes and prepared to enter the palace to serve Emperor Chongzhen.

"Eunuch Wang, you don't have to go in." With a slight nod to Wang Chengen, Cao Huachun looked at Wang Dehua and said, "The Emperor ordered you to accompany our family on errands."

"Here!"

Wang Dehua was overjoyed, and hurriedly clapped his hands in response.

He wanted to go on an errand with Cao Huachun, who was the admiral of Dongji Shichang, and his intuition told Wang Dehua that there must be a big deal. No matter what, he had to do the errand well, so as to win more trust from the emperor.

Serving in the twelve supervisors, four divisions and eight bureaus of the inner court, if you don't have the trust of the emperor, even if you become a palm print eunuch, then if you say I will get you down, I will get you down.

The inner court is far more realistic than the outer court.

Cao Huachun didn't care what Wang Dehua was thinking. At this moment, he hadn't come out of the shock. After all, he had to rush to Shanxi to complete the errand assigned by the emperor. walk.

Thinking of Neichang and Xichang, the errands I have done during this period, the Huangzhuang controlled by the inner court, even though they are all over the eight prefectures under the rule of Beizhili, they were still scrutinized, and so many eunuchs and Zhuangtou in charge of the village were arrested. , The impact this had on Cao Huachun and the others was enormous.

After being awed by this incident, the group of eunuchs in the inner court all understood a truth in their hearts. The emperor really wanted to reuse them, but the corresponding rules and regulations could not be violated.

Those who dare to touch, die!
"My lord, drink some tea and have a rest." Wang Chengen, who walked into Dongnuange, handed the teacup to Emperor Chongzhen, and said.

"Ah."

Taking the teacup in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen took a sip and said to Wang Chengen: "Wang Banban, the current Huangzhuang under the name of the inner court has been sorted out carefully.

All the rules about Huangzhuang are also being clarified. After thinking about it for a while, the inner factory has to shoulder more responsibilities besides managing the affairs of Huangzhuang. "

In the context of the Little Ice Age, Huangzhuang, which is distributed in various prefectures in Northern Zhili, has a lot of fields under this name. If it is only a single planting industry, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, this is actually the option that benefits the least. .

In planning to eradicate the eight major Shanxi merchants, including when he decided to purge Huangzhuang, Emperor Chongzhen had already thought about it, relying on the acres of land controlled by Huangzhuang to create an economy that doubled the income of domestic funds.

"My lord, what do you need your slaves to do?"

Wang Chengen leaned forward and said: "This time when I supervised the purge of Huangzhuang, in Shuntian Mansion and other places, the slaves found that those Huangzhuang's fields under their names are very good, but there are many problems."

Listening to what Wang Chengen said, Emperor Chongzhen thought of some problems, nothing more than serious damage to irrigation facilities, lack of cattle and various farm tools, etc.

Huangzhuang, which was almost free-range before, was owned by the inner court in name, but the eunuchs in charge of the village were actually responsible for the corresponding matters.

For these greedy guys, in the Huangzhuang that they are responsible for, they are like the emperors of the earth. They can use the power of the inner court to amass money wantonly, who will care about what is going on in the Huangzhuang?
"I have some ideas."

Emperor Chongzhen put down the teacup, stretched out his hand and said to Wang Chengen: "Now you have two things to do, one is to actually control the internal factory, but you have to separate the relationship on the surface.

Firstly, convenience stores of corresponding scale were set up in various squares under the rule of the capital, aiming at the common people under the rule of the capital, mainly selling cheap grain, salt, cotton cloth and other daily necessities.

In the past, whenever there were some turmoil in the court, the capital would be affected, and some greedy guys would take the opportunity to drive up the price of grain, salt, etc., so as to plunder the wealth of the people wantonly, causing chaos in the capital.

The purpose of the convenience store is to make small profits but quick turnover, and it does not have any so-called privileges. Everything must be done according to the rules, but if someone dares to plot or target the convenience store, then the internal factory should come forward.

For the other, first talk to the handprint eunuchs of the Scarf and Hat Bureau, the Needlework Bureau, and the Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau to learn more about the above three bureaus, and how many artisans under their names know how to spin and weave. A group of workshops specialized in cotton textiles and garments. "

"Slave order!"

Now that Huangzhuang, under the name of the inner court, has been thoroughly screened, and the house thief Shuoshu who was hiding has been found out one by one, the plan for the state-owned economy has also reached the stage of gradual implementation.

At this stage, the basic market of this state-owned economy is Huangzhuang, which is actually under the jurisdiction of the big inner factory. If you mess around in Huangzhuang casually, the ministers from the outer dynasty can't control it.

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, it would be too wasteful for the twelve supervisors, four divisions and eight bureaus of the inner court to only serve the royal family. As a supplement, building a state-owned economy involved in multiple fields will definitely generate huge income from internal funds. As long as you have money in your hands, you can solve any problems you encounter. At the same time, you can plan foreign trade. I still don't believe that Daming's chronic illness can't be solved.
