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

Chapter 173 Good things happen one after another

It is another golden autumn day in August, and the autumn breeze is refreshing, carrying the fragrance of ripe grains in the wind. Smell it and your heart and lungs will be refreshed.

I have been in the capital for too long. How can I not go for an outing in such good weather?

Putting on his casual clothes, he ran into the palace and reported to Brother Jian Guo first: "The autumn harvest has arrived. I need to go down and inspect this year's harvest in person, and at the same time take a look at the condition of the straight road. I want to be confident so that I can plan for the future. .”

Zhu Cixiang looked at this with a smile, looking for a legitimate reason. He was actually a brother going out to play, and smiled generously: "My brother is right. Then you go out and have a look, feel the people's sentiments, and touch our family background." Then he added One sentence: "My brother is here in the court, so don't be in a hurry to come back."

Facing the performance of the two brothers, all the officials nodded with dissatisfaction and satisfaction.

The dragon gives birth to nine sons, each of whom is different. He is also a brother from the same mother. He is calm and generous, neither impatient nor impetuous. He is by no means similar to today's Chongzhen.

And this regent has an out-of-touch personality and is a restless master.

However, although the brothers have completely opposite personalities, they get along well with each other and complement each other.

When the supervisor and regent were first set up, the ministers were worried that the phenomenon of brothers fighting for power would not happen.

Brother Jianguo has no fear of preventing his brother from becoming bigger.

The brothers are also diligent and hard-working, never complaining, and have no intention of overstepping and peeking.

In the future, the generous supervisor will be a conservative king, while his younger brother will expand his territory. The Ming Dynasty will not be revived unless it is revived.

With his brother's permission, Lu Mou went directly to the palace, ran to his mother's bedroom, grabbed the little girl who was babbling in her arms, and carried him on his shoulders. The brother and sister sang and laughed all the way, taking Zhao Hu and the two Guard, walk into the nature of autumn.

Walking on Longshang, you can see golden and fiery red fields. There are harvest scenes everywhere. People are busy starting the autumn harvest everywhere, and there are laughter and laughter everywhere.

Passing by a village, I saw a small temple that had just been built recently, with a plaque of Huangen Temple hanging high. Inside, there are cigarette smokes lingering inside, and in the middle is a tablet dedicated to the Holy King.

In front of the tablet, a mighty general stands with a sword and a leopard head looking into the distance, like a door god who stabilizes the country.

In order to let everyone know who this is, a sign was specially erected in front of his feet, which reads, "Great mercy, protect the country, protect the family, honor God and the king."

My appearance has changed again, but it is much better than the original one, with a small forehead and a narrow neck.

In front of his mud tire, he set up a POS like this, making Xiao Ya giggle.

Picking up a freshly picked apple on the altar table, still with dewdrops and fragrant fragrance, she took a bite and it was crunchy and crispy. The greedy little girl stretched out her little hand to get it.

He picked it up, bit off a piece, and stuffed it into Xiaoya's mouth. Xiaoya avoided it in disgust and started to nibble on it with a mouth that didn't have many teeth. So, the two brothers and sisters just gnawed away one bite at a time.

Turn the corner and go onto the straight road.

After a whole summer of leisure, funds were abundant, and with the efforts of the people, the construction of the straight road was completed. The road was busy with pedestrians and merchants coming and going.

From the north came porcelain, cloth, tea, and from the south came cattle, sheep, skins, medicinal materials, and logs. Convection with each other creates a prosperous business scene.

The aroma of tea is overflowing in the teahouse beside the road, there is an endless stream of people eating and drinking, and the shopkeeper is busy with his feet not touching the floor.

As you walk, look and ask, everything is developing in a better direction.

Now, this year is another bumper harvest. Coupled with the food reserves from the year before last, the entire Zhili finally stopped worrying about food.

Recovering the northwest has been delayed for too long because of Wu Sangui's inaction.

Fortunately, Li Zicheng came to Jiangnan. The prosperity and prosperity of Jiangnan and the soft-spoken voice of Jiangnan had already made Li Chuang and his men intoxicated.

They no longer miss their hometown in the northwest as they did when they first went to the south of the Yangtze River. Instead, they began to miss and be fascinated by the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and they only regarded Hangzhou as Bianzhou. This gave Lu Mou time to develop and stabilize Zhili and regain the northwest. But it is not possible to rely on the enemy's decadence and decadence.

He must seize the opportunity to regain the northwest as soon as possible.

After wandering outside for more than half a month, suddenly a fast horse from Jin Yiwei came galloping over. He dismounted and said, "Prince Regent, please go back. I have something important to report."

During this period, the cheap dad came to him and said that he had something important to discuss, which basically had to do with money, and Lu Mou was even afraid.

And when the prince said he had something important to discuss, it must be something he couldn't solve. In fact, Lu Mou was more troubled than Chongzhen's important matters.

But fortunately, apart from being obedient to him when it comes to money, Cheap Dad sometimes still disagrees with his own ideas on other matters. It is difficult to communicate without singing children's songs.

But the prince brother is different. He basically only doubts his own opinions, but he absolutely supports them fully. It can be described as obedient.

It is very important to be able to let go and have a good mood when working. Therefore, Lu Mou was more willing to work hard for the prince brother.

Mood, mood at work is very important.

We arrived at the Wenhua Hall, where the prince's supervisory office was located.

When he came in, the prince's supervisor was at the top, and the first and second assistants were sitting below. Qian Qianyi, the newly promoted minister of the Ministry of Rites, was also there. Zhang Huangyan, the new No. 1 scholar who had not yet been assigned to the exam, was also present. Everyone's faces were glowing with excitement.

This may be a good thing. Lu Mou felt relieved.

At this time, Li Yan was also hurriedly summoned, followed closely by the British Duke. This is a bit interesting.

After Lu Mou paid tribute to his brother, he walked to the regent's seat and sat down, then asked: "Brother, is there anything you can do to summon me back?"

Zhu Cixiang asked with a smile on his face: "How about going down to inspect the autumn harvest?"

Lu Mou said proudly: "My brother went for a walk and found that this year's grain output is even better than last year because of the foundation of last year.

In addition to what my ancestors and I brought back from Mongolia, we have an additional five million yuan to re-cultivate the abandoned fields. In addition, we have recovered two prefectures in the south of Zhili. This year's food harvest is stable. Not only can it ensure Zhili's self-sufficiency, but it will also generate a surplus.

The most gratifying thing is the fiscal revenue. Not counting tolls and trade taxes, the land rent alone can exceed five million taels. Coupled with an equal amount of service money, next year we will have more sufficient funds to do more things. "

A series of good news made all the veterans here breathe a huge sigh of relief.

At this time, the financial and food problems that had been plaguing Ming Dynasty were finally alleviated. There is no longer any need for the young prince to use deceitful methods to make money for the country.

I have to say that Lu Mou's method of amassing money is indeed a bit disgusting.

First, he attacked the officials and violently raped them, even his uncle and uncle were not spared. Then they abolished the two yuan and changed it into yuan, and mixed the silver with scrap copper and scrap iron. Then they went to fight and rob everywhere, and they also called it war dividends.

And in your contracted area, you use the same methods of collecting land rent from the gentry, such as the commission money, so every penny is stained with the blood and tears of the gentry.

If it weren't for this special period, you would have been sprayed to death by upright officials.

Zhu Cixiang smiled with satisfaction and said: "There is constant good news in domestic affairs. Brother, there is also good news in foreign affairs here."

Lu Mou's eyes lit up: "What good news do you have, brother?"
