Chapter 791 Peerless Treasure
Wen Tiren continued to report other summaries of the year: "...this year there were many wars, large and small, among which there were particularly large wars in North Korea, Liaodong, and Guihua, and their scale was comparable to that of the Wanli period. However, the court did not spend much money and food. , thanks to the fact that every battle is won cleanly and neatly. In the middle of the year, the convicts who seized the captives earned a lot, so this year's income and expenditure are slightly in surplus..."

It was unimaginable in previous years to have a surplus after fighting so many battles.Wen Tiren and other ministers of the DPRK and China never expected that some wars would be won, and there would be profits. This completely violated the truth in the past that militarism would lead to empty treasury.

For example, in the series of wars in North Korea, the court seized a large amount of food in addition to paying military salaries, which alleviated one of the biggest problems for the court; In addition, other rewards are mostly the distribution of Liaodong land.

The same is true of several wars on the Liaodong side. For example, in order to cope with North Korea, Wei Wei rescued Zhao and raided the hinterland of Liaodong. The Han people who were captured and enslaved, but all the money they got was brought out with them, which is another large amount of money!
At present, the Gaizhou War and the Jinzhou War have not seen any harvest of food and money, but it can be considered that Daming has firmly occupied the land in these places, giving everyone an expectation that Daming can recover Liaodong. The existence of value makes land reward possible.

For the Guan Ning army, it was not only easy to attack the grassland to support the Gaizhou war, but also captured countless cattle and sheep, supplemented a large amount of meat, and made a lot of money.

Also on the Hetao side, the imperial army can be said to have paid a very small price, and the fisherman has benefited. Not only has the Hetao area been occupied, but all Lin Danhan's property has also been seized, which can be regarded as a lot of gains.

……

All of these, Wen Tiren and others have realized that a battle where the emperor directly participates in the command does not seem to be a loss-making war.If Daming fought like this, he would be more happy to fight more!
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be expecting it, and he was not surprised. He nodded and said something he had already thought about: "Since this is the case, I have decided to revoke Liao's salary. What do you think?"

Hearing this, the two "prime ministers" below were taken aback.However, Cao Huachun, as the eunuch in charge of ceremonies, doesn't need to worry about money or anything. What the emperor said, as the inner minister, he is mainly supportive. Therefore, after he recovered, he responded immediately: "Your Majesty You are truly a prosperous and benevolent monarch, and the people of Ming Dynasty will definitely be grateful!"

Wen Tiren hesitated for a while, as if it was difficult to make a decision, and finally bowed to ask for instructions: "Your Majesty, Liao's salary is prepared for the Liaodong War, and now the Liaodong War has not ended. Repeatedly, if the Liao's salary is canceled now, the Liao's salary will be added in the future, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will be a bit of a toss!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled and said: "Of course I know that it is impossible to win any war with [-]% certainty, but the situation of the entire Liaodong war is already under my control. I dare not say that the year can be destroyed." Jianlu, but it should not be difficult to pacify Liaodong in the next few years! Even if there are repetitions, it will not affect the overall situation. This is determined by the strength of Jianlu, so Wen Qing need not worry!"

There is a chat group, and the situation on Jianlu’s side is clear to me; there is a chat group, and the cooperation of several armies of Ming Dynasty is like a command; there is a chat group, the emperor’s authority can be transmitted to the front line immediately, suppressing All the factors that affect the war, not to mention that the frontlines are all famous generals and ministers. If Liaodong cannot be pacified by all these, then Jianlu will be the protagonist at this time, what a fart!

More importantly, although the bank does not make money this year, it is foreseeable that the bank will definitely make more and more money, and the year will be better than the year; this year's opening of the sea is just the beginning, and after next year, it will definitely make money; and the Hetao area It can be said that it has been stabilized, and the next period of great development will be a place where the output will exceed the input, not to mention the income from cement and so on.

It was because of so many reasons that gave Emperor Chongzhen a lot of confidence. Before Wen Tiren could answer, he added: "Victory in the Liaodong War can only benefit ordinary people, so that they will be more supportive of imperial policies. Only by speeding up the rebuilding of the imperial court’s reputation and prestige! This is a New Year’s gift from me to my people, what does Wen Qing think?”

The emperor had already talked about this, and Wen Tiren had nothing to say, so he had no choice but to bow down and accept the order, but he knew in his heart that Bi Ziyan, the Minister of the Household Department, would come to make a fuss, but the holy will has been decided, I'm afraid it's a waste of time!
Seeing that Wen Tiren agreed, Emperor Chongzhen was also happy. This relieved the burden on the people of Ming Dynasty, and it would give him more confidence in passing through the Little Ice Age in the country. All broke out, neighboring countries, who can be the opponent of Daming!

Thinking of this, he smiled again and said to Wen Tiren: "When the new year comes, I still have a peerless treasure, which I want to give to my people, to my Daming!"

Peerless treasure?What peerless treasure?Or should it be given to the people?Wen Tiren heard a series of question marks in his head, logically speaking, if there is a peerless treasure, it should be dedicated to the emperor, why is it the other way around?
He couldn't figure it out, Cao Huachun was also confused by what Emperor Chongzhen said, and he didn't know what Emperor Chongzhen said?
When the two of them were about to ask, Emperor Chongzhen took the first step and said: "After worshiping the Taimiao and Zhonglie Hall, I will take it out, and it will be announced together with the pardon of Liao's salary."

"..." Wen Tiren and Cao Huachun were speechless, is there such a thing?

Talking about the peerless treasure, and then not saying what the peerless treasure is, how uncomfortable is it to hang on like this?It's fine if it's ordinary, since His Majesty said it is a peerless treasure, what kind of peerless treasure is it? If you don't explain it clearly, just mention it like this, so you can hold your appetite like this?

But whoever is the emperor, since he has made such a decision, Wen Tiren and Cao Huachun are very helpless, and after discussing the next thing, they leave and are busy preparing for the next big thing.

The sacrificial rites of the Taimiao were drawn up in advance by Wen Tiren and other important officials of the court.What Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect was that a long article reported all the news of the victory in this year's war.

Thinking about it, Chongzhen's three-year war was bigger than the previous wars at any time, and the results were more fruitful. For the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, it was indeed worth offering sacrifices to the Taimiao, which made the emperors of all dynasties happy!
