Chapter 436 Increase Liao Pay (Second Change)
The arsenal in Hequ County is fully engaged in the production of iron stoves and briquettes, and the propaganda team cooperates with the peasant association's continuous propaganda.

In the face of this cold weather, many farmers order collectively through the farmers' associations. Of course, there are also some who do not buy in order to save money.

They all think that as long as they endure it, no matter how hard it is, they can always survive.

These people, He Jinzhao, did not force them to buy, let alone give them away for free.

Individuals have personal choices.

It's really cold in December, but what makes people feel colder than the body is the coldness of the heart.

The first day of December in the third year of Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty issued an edict to increase Liao pay across the country:
Xiang Yuandong's affairs are embarrassing, and his mother increases his tax, and he sleeps without a day.

But recently, the border is suffering from Mining, and the military is becoming more and more urgent. The Ministry of Households has repeatedly consulted and asked for an additional [-]% of silver per mu in addition to the [-]% increase, for a total of [-] cent and [-]% of silver.

However, Beizhibao and Heliufu Xiangyi are exempted from the levy, and now the amount is increased by [-]% per mu.

The preceding items are all paid for Liao's salary, and the matter will be stopped immediately.

Because of the court's agreement, I agreed and agreed with expediency.

All my people have the same ambition to hate each other, and they can have no good thoughts!
Not bad.

Looking at the entire text of the edict, the matter of increasing Liao's salary is all done by the Ministry of Households, and has nothing to do with me. I am so worried that I can't sleep on weekdays.

I guarantee that as soon as the Liaodong incident happens, the Liao pay will stop increasing.

Then the Ministry of Households reported that the two taxes, the additional payment and miscellaneous taxes, had not been released to the Ministry of Households after repeated urging.

Chongzhen frowned when he heard the words, he had just ordered an increase in Liao's salary, and the old account had not yet been delivered.

He immediately asked the governors and censors of the provinces to be strictly interrogated, and the names of officials who were in arrears were listed within three days after the arrival of the documents.

In addition, the "Ministry of Households restricts and investigates the root causes of arrears, and names and corrects them one by one, so as to punish them; if they do not participate beyond the limit, they will be treated again."

Chongzhen was very short of money, and Nan Juyi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, inscribed a case of payment. Immediately afterwards, the four prefectures and counties of Nanzhili donated a total of 830 eight taels of silver for payment, which is enough to show how poor the officials and gentry in the south are.

Shanxi and Shaanxi can't give it, and the White Lotus Sect has become a problem in Beizhili, Shandong, Henan and other places, and local officials even have excuses for not being able to collect money.

As for Beizhili, don't even think about it. The old father-in-law of Chongzhen gave [-] hectares of land at once, and the land occupied by his relatives and eunuchs was mainly in the Jifu area.

It is even more impossible to pay taxes to Chongzhen here.

Following the will of Emperor Chongzhen to increase Liao's salary and urging local governments to transport miscellaneous taxes to the capital, news spread across the country.

Whether it is common people, gentry, or officials, they couldn't help but start swearing.

The emperor raised the tax once today, will it not increase the tax next year?

This undoubtedly pushes the people across the country who want to endure hardships to go further in the direction of rebels.

In the territory of Shanxi Province, Emperor Chongzhen also received the decree of increasing taxes. After all, they are still under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty in name.

He unbuttoned his pants behind his back, and all of them were wearing hammer bandit clothes.

The people in Jin also heard about the emperor's order, but they are all bandits, how can they pay taxes to Daming?
Now almost all of them are cooking in the house with a fire.

"My lord, what a happy event."

Ji Gui held the decree issued by Daming, and couldn't help but smile all over his face.

Chongzhen began to increase taxes again, and as a result, the people became more and more miserable.

He Jinzhao left his wife's ears away from his wife's belly, and walked out the door.

"what's up?"

Ji Gui handed He Jinchao Chongzhen's will and said: "The dog emperor has started to increase taxes."

Years of severe drought, and now the weather is cold. I don't know how many people froze to death in various places. They can't survive the three years of Chongzhen.

Chongzhen is still thinking about raising taxes, he really doesn't want the people under his rule to live.

He Jinzhao nodded slightly after reading the decree of tax increase:
"That's right. He has been running wildly on the road to death. This will definitely not be the last time to increase taxes and the last time to suffer for the people."

"Okay, he's digging his own grave." Ji Gui pinched his beard and couldn't help laughing.

These people are obviously the richest, but the imperial court couldn't afford any money.

The emperor didn't take internal funds to subsidize, and the ministers were used to asking the emperor for money, so how could they take out their own money?

After all, everyone knows that our Daming officials are all upright officials, and there is no money in the family.

He Jinzhao knew that Chongzhen would try to kill himself, but let him wait and see as to how to kill himself in different ways.

"My lord, do you want to publicize the tax increase in Ming Dynasty to the common people?"

"Naturally, we must promote it well." He Jinzhao paused and said:
"You go to Miao Siniang and let them think of a tax that was forced by the Ming Dynasty to raise taxes and make them unable to survive."

"Yes."

In any case, he had to take the opportunity to suppress Daming's prestige, and let the officials of Daming know what it means to add insult to injury and what is the wrath of the common people.

After dismissing Ji Gui, He Jinzhao entered the room again, looking at his daughter-in-law's swollen belly with a smile on his face.

"What happy event?" Gao Guiying asked.

"That dog Emperor Chongzhen is going to raise taxes again, which is a good thing for us and will arouse more people to resist."

He Jinzhao sat aside, with a satisfied look on his face.

At the same time, Huang Taiji, who was far away in Shenyang, finally received detailed news from the Mongolian right wing.

That is, Lin Danhan actually colluded with a rebel named He Jinzhao.

Not only married his daughter to him, but also gave him the jade seal of the Mongol Empire?
Lin Danhan has clubbing in his head?
Huang Taiji felt incredible, even though Lin Danhan was stupid, his wife Na Muzhong was not an ordinary person.

Unless that jade seal is fake, the daughter is not a real daughter.

In this way, Huang Taiji felt that Lin Danhan made a good move.

Only in this way can we obtain enough ironware and food from the Daming rebels.

He relied on Shanxi merchants at the Zhangjiakou Mutual Market, and had enough iron and grain.

In any case, Lin Danhan, a stubborn person, is the target he wants to destroy.

But he colluded with the Daming rebels, so no matter what, he had to send someone to inquire about it.

It would be great if Lin Dan Khan could be eliminated and at the same time enter the Central Plains from Shanxi Town.

Simply kill two birds with one stone.

Huang Taiji then found a Shanxi businessman and asked him about He Jinzhao's stay in Shanxi.

The staff only knew that Mr. Huang, one of the eight Shanxi merchants, returned to his hometown to Jiexiu. The road was cut off and he never returned to Zhangjiakou.

There are a lot of anti-thief teams in Shanxi, and that He Jinzhao is just a small leader, it is said that there are only 1 people.

Huang Taiji shook his head, feeling that the news was inaccurate, he had better send the guys who were in contact with Shanxi merchants to Shanxi to find out He Jinzhao's strength.

When he goes out to fight Lin Danhan, he can do more to deal with it.

Shanxi merchants are not only responsible for providing food and ironware, but also seeking information, which is also a must.

Otherwise, how could Huang Taiji understand the affairs of the Central Plains, especially when Hou Jin was good at using spies.

The winter is really too cold. If there is no accident, when the spring is warm next year, he will decide to attack Lin Danhan.
