Chapter 266
"I will solve these problems in my lifetime, I promise!" Emperor Chongzhen said seriously and solemnly, as if he was swearing to the sky.

Wen Tiren really did not expect that the emperor's determination was unusually firm; more importantly, the emperor's confidence seemed to be greater than his own.

But these things are stubborn illnesses since ancient times.In the past dynasties, basically no emperor can solve it. Can an emperor as young as you really do it?
Thinking of this, he hesitated instead, and quickly advised: "Your Majesty, you need to be cautious about this matter, just let the old minister come forward. In case something happens, the old minister is old anyway, so you can do whatever you want..."

This is the so-called dedication, but Emperor Chongzhen didn't want his subjects to pay without a good return. He immediately shook his head and interrupted: "Wen Qing must have confidence in me. Today's taxation reform, we can pick what is easy and come first And I have also thought of a way to prepare the cake, um, that is, to maximize the benefits, everyone can make money, let the government stabilize first, and then I will have more authority, and when the time is right, it is time to act."

"Bigger interests?" Wen Tiren automatically ignored other words, a little confused about the point of bigger interests, "Your Majesty, this is so difficult! The interests of the world are actually one piece, and it is nothing more than in whose hands. Just like this field, or More land can be cultivated, but it is also limited. Most of the fertile land is in the hands of the royal family, nobles, civil servants and military generals. If the court wants to collect more taxes, they have to pay more..."

"Hehe, Daming is the only one under Wen Qing." Emperor Chongzhen interrupted Wen Tiren and said with a smile, "But Daming is definitely not the only one in this world!"

This is the difference in vision, and it is also the most obvious difference between later generations and indigenous people.Emperor Chongzhen continued: "And I also have a way to reclaim more land, or even several times more. In this way, there will be new interests, and the court will be able to use it as little as possible. , Try to recover some vitality!"

"..." Wen Tiren was in a daze when he heard it. He didn't expect that the emperor seemed to see farther, and the realm of speaking seemed to be deeper, or more mysterious?

After a moment's hesitation, he took a deep breath and played sincerely: "Your Majesty, the old minister believes that doing things must be realistic. The old minister's age is at this point, and he has read a lot of books, but he has never heard of many books. It's unheard of to offer several times the new benefits, these words..."

"Hehe!" Emperor Chongzhen laughed when he heard it. At the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, it was an explosion compared with before, not to mention several times, dozens of times, hundreds of times, "Wen Qing, look, I will soon I can let you see it. If you don’t believe me, I can reveal a little bit, cement!”

"Cement?" Wen Tiren asked in disbelief after hearing this, "I know that His Majesty invented this thing, but how many times does this thing have new benefits?"

As a Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty, Wen Tiren is familiar with classics and history collections, but no matter how smart he is, he is still inferior to ordinary businessmen when it comes to business, and it is impossible to know the business opportunities contained in it just by hearing it.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't talk to him any more, it was already late at this time, so he picked up the memorial on the imperial table again, shook it and said: "Wen Qing, I will lock this memorial, and in the future, Qing Let's see if I can make it happen!"

When Wen Tiren heard this, he didn't know what to feel in his heart for a while.The big move that was finally held back was prepared with the mentality of sacrificing one's life for benevolence. Unexpectedly, it neither received Long Yan's fury, nor did the emperor appreciate and support it. Instead, it was locked silently. Waiting for the future.

Seeing Wen Tiren leaving the palace, Emperor Chongzhen shook his head slightly.Right now, Daming is already seriously ill, if a dose of Wen's powerful medicine is given, he may die!

Wen Tiren is a lack of innovation. He is a good hand when he is the chief assistant, he listens to his own words, and handles the things he tells him well.Let him find a way to be unique, and walk out another broad road to save Daming, but it is still difficult.

Thinking about it this way, Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about the grassland pursuit, thinking that after so long, there should be news, so he entered the chat group to see the situation.

Sure enough, Zhang Fengyi had left several messages.Looking at these pieces of information, the entire grassland pursuit was like a picture presented in front of him.

Ma Xianglin chased away from the Jianlu camp for about ten miles, and found the traces of Jianlu.It is gratifying that the Mongolian sweat medicine and croton mixed in the good wine and meat have begun to take effect.They all found that many Jianlu were unable to hold on anymore and fell off their horses in the process of escaping.

For these Jianlu, Ma Xianglin didn't care at all, and led his men to cling to the Jianlu team.The follow-up Zhang Fengyi and Qin Liangyu's army divided a part and started to clean up those Jian captives, most of them were captured alive.

Thanks to Ma Xianglin's timely pursuit, although it was dark, with the help of moonlight, he was still able to keep up with Jianlu.Of course, it was also because he didn't give Jianlu time to rest, which caused Jianlu to be mentally exhausted and have loose stomach. Even if the horse was fine, the man couldn't stand it.

During this period, Jianlu also separated some people, the so-called throwing pawns to protect the car, who wanted to snipe at Ma Xianglin's troops and cut off this follower.

Helplessly, Ma Xianglin's subordinates knew that Jianlu had been recruited, and the morale was like a rainbow in the pursuit. Ma Xianglin, who was called Xiao Ma Chao, was also used as an arrow. When the accident happened, the guards were all around him, almost non-stop, and directly cut through the Jianlu team who turned around and wanted to stop.

After chasing until dawn the next day, the horses were exhausted a lot before they caught up with all the Jian captives.But to Ma Xianglin's annoyance, he was still fooled by Jianlu and did not capture the son of the slave chief, Hauge.

It turned out that Jianlu couldn't fight and couldn't escape. In the end, those Jianlu who didn't eat wine and meat because of their shifts escorted Hauge to hide halfway, and let the large army lead the white pole army away before fleeing to Liaodong. up.

In this battle, 530 people were captured and 110 people were killed.On the side of the Baigan Army, a total of 56 people were killed in battle.Among them, mainly those who pretended to be Shanxi merchants to escort supplies.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't see this battle report until he woke up the next day.He also saw Zhang Fengyi conveying Qin Liangyu's apology message, saying that she was incompetent and failed to keep Haoge, the son of the slave chief.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care at all, and immediately replied, praising the meritorious service of the white pole army, and asked Qin Liangyu to personally escort these Jian prisoners and rush to the capital as soon as possible.

Afterwards, he immediately issued an order that three days later, the imperial court would hold a grand ceremony to send the first batch of martyrs into the Daming Loyalty Hall!
 Thanks to the third young master of the Zhu family for the reward!
