Chapter 203
At this time, Liu Wang was still with Sun Chengzong, far away in Yongping.

Hu Guang was not very at ease with other people, so he asked Sun Chengzong to sit in Yongping and take full charge of disaster relief and appeasement in Yongping.Only his prestige can coordinate the local government and the army of the guards, so as to deter the black hands who extend the relief supplies as much as possible, so as not to make the situation worse.

After hearing the news conveyed by Mrs. Liu, Hu Guang couldn't help feeling secretly, historical celebrities are historical celebrities, they can stand out at the same time, no matter their reputation is good or bad, it is extraordinary to let history books write about them Ability, a keen sense of smell, to do the right thing at the right time.

No matter how he was in the original history, at least at this time, he is still young and can be transformed.Doing things so well this time must be rewarded.

Hu Guang thought about this, and when he was about to announce the matter to the civil and military officials and promote him, he suddenly frowned.

Outside Tiananmen Square, Liu Xingzuo was talking.He didn't join the chat group, so Liu Wangshi said that he didn't know yet.But the emperor's words could directly remind him, let him pause for a while, and then he didn't speak any more, just stood there, as if scanning the low-level officers in front of him, but actually his consciousness entered the chat group.

After a while, Liu Xingzuo's consciousness withdrew from the chat group, with a faint surprise on his face.He speeded up his speech and said loudly: "Whether you can enter the Daming Loyalty Hall or not, you need the court to verify whether you died for Daming. The initial principle is that all soldiers who are on the list, if they die in battle, can be directly verified; those who are not on the list need to be witnessed by someone." Only physical evidence and other proofs can be entered into the Daming Loyalty Hall..."

Upon hearing this, the reaction of the people below was no longer to listen quietly, and many people were stunned.For example, Xu Wenbo, he is Ma Shilong's servant, of course he will not be registered in the Ministry of War.

That is to say, if he died in battle, it would be more troublesome to enter the Daming Loyalty Hall. He had to prove that he really died fighting for Daming.But everyone is dead, what should I do?It depends on whether the master Ma Shilong wants to let him enter the Daming Loyalty Hall!
Thinking about it this way, Xu Wenbo was a little dissatisfied immediately. Why would he be treated differently if he died in battle like other soldiers, and might not be able to enter the Daming Loyalty Hall?

At this moment, I heard Liu Xingzuo raise his voice, and yelled in a dignified voice: "The Great Ming Loyalty Hall was built with the emperor's painstaking efforts. It is where my Daming loyalists live. The emperor personally worships it. It is definitely not something that cats and dogs can enjoy..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wenbo turned around and thought, it seems that it should be so.Otherwise, those rich people who die in their families say that they died for Daming, wouldn't they also be able to enter the Daming Loyalty Hall, become a Daming Loyalty, be worshiped by the emperor, and live with the country?If this is the case, it is too unreasonable!
Not only he thought so, but all junior officers thought so.Those servants of the various generals suddenly had a trace of regret in their hearts.They couldn't help thinking in their hearts, if they could have food, clothes, and support their families if they weren't servants, the devil would be this servant!
While they were thinking in their hearts, Liu Xingzuo still said loudly: "...the imperial court will issue a document to all the loyalists enshrined in the Loyalty Hall of the Ming Dynasty. As long as there is this document, their immediate family members will have taxes and corvees within ten years. The care of the family is [-]% or half less than that of ordinary people. During the holidays, the government will also condolences..."

When Xu Wenbo and others heard this, their eyes widened suddenly. Is this true?Even if you are a scholar, you don't get this kind of treatment during the holidays, do you?And the corvee tax can be taken care of, so good?
"...His Majesty also issued a decree to the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies, requesting that one must be in place. After the court's finances are sufficient, the children of Ming loyalists can enter official schools for free. The length of time will depend on the future court's finances..."

This is another explosive news!You know, at this time in the late Ming Dynasty, except for the slightly higher literacy rate in the Jiangnan area, and ordinary people could also know a few words, in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, except for those with money, almost all were blind and literate. There are very few people, and even the generals guarding one side are illiterate.

If children can read and write, they will have more knowledge than others, and if they can, they will have more means of making a living.This kind of thing that benefits future generations, if you can remain indifferent, basically there is none!
However, they also heard clearly that what the Commander of Jin Yiwei said just now has a premise, that is, the court must have money.

So the question is, does the court have money?It has been clearly stated just now that not only the imperial court has no money, but even the emperor has no money, and the construction of this Daming Loyalty Hall requires the contributions of women from all palaces.

There is also the most basic thing, military pay! Among these people in the army, many of them have not even received the military pay from several months ago, and even have been owed the military pay from several years ago.Didn't Jizhou, Ningyuan and other places have a mutiny just because of the arrears of wages?
Thinking of this, all these low-ranking officers could not help but return to reality, looking at the unfinished Daming Loyalty Hall in front of them, and secretly sighed.

Liu Xingzuo saw their demeanor in his eyes, and he was thinking about what the emperor had explained in his heart. He didn't wait for his emotions to accumulate, and immediately said loudly: "However, the court has no money. This is a big problem. The emperor is deeply worried! Therefore, the emperor went up and down. With a big determination, we must increase income and reduce expenditure, so that the national treasury will be filled. If the court has money, the emperor's will can be realized, including your military salary and the treatment of the Ming Dynasty's loyalty, and it will also be realized..."

Hearing this, these low-ranking officers who had just been depressed couldn't help but raise their heads again and comment on the Commander of the Jinyiwei, wanting to see if this statement is true and how reliable it is?
"For this reason, Mr. Wen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, cited the example of the former Song Dynasty in the early dynasty, saying that it was only because of the failure of the Ming Dynasty that the court's finances were not good. The emperor was very happy when he heard the words, and hereby promoted Mr. Wen as the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty to increase revenue for the treasury..."

These low-ranking officers knew the affairs of the court, and when they heard this, they immediately felt that the emperor's determination was really firm, and they couldn't help but feel a little more emotional.At this moment, apart from the emperor, it is estimated that soldiers like them hope that the court will have money the most!
"Your Majesty is still thinking hard about good remedies, and other measures will be implemented. You just need to remember that everything the Emperor does is for you and for the people of Ming Dynasty. Only when the imperial court has money, can the military pay be exchanged for you. Decorate, build water conservancy, build houses, so that the people of the world have clothes to wear, food to eat, and houses to live in..."

Listening to Liu Xingzuo's explanation, most of the low-ranking officers couldn't help following the narration, fascinated in their minds, looking forward to the coming of such a day.

 The number of weekly rewards reaches ten for the first time, one chapter is added, and 5 chapters are owed. In addition, the high order is increased by fifty, and one more chapter is added, and 6 chapters are owed.

  Seeing that I owe more, I just want to say more, and more on weekends!
