It's just a pity that Hu Guang comes from a later generation and is not someone he can fool.
Just the simplest truth, if being an official is really such a grievance for the poor, then why are there so many people rushing to become an official?
However, Hu Guang did not intend to expose what he said.
Instead, he followed his words and asked: "You have worked hard for the Ming Dynasty, why are you not paying enough salary?"
""Everyone is speechless.
Why don't you know and are pretending to be stupid?
However, even if they knew that the emperor was pretending to be stupid, they did not dare to expose it and could only answer truthfully.
Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Household Affairs, raised his head and replied honestly: "Your Majesty, the imperial court is unable to pay."
"Oh, I remembered.
The imperial court has been in deficit for a long time.
Not only your salaries, but also the salaries of the frontier troops, and disaster relief, etc. are all due to lack of money.
Is that so?"
Hu Guang pretended to be suddenly enlightened.
Confirmed to them.
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene became slightly quiet, and then a thunderous sound of flattery immediately erupted.
"Your Majesty is wise" "Best regards, Your Majesty" “Exactly so” "" When Hu Guang heard this, he interrupted them with a wave of his hand and said: "Okay, that's the case.
As ministers of the Ming Dynasty, you and others should come up with a countermeasure.
As long as the national treasury can be replenished, you and I can distribute full salaries, no matter what method you use. , even if I write down the methods for rich people to confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans, I will not blame them tomorrow morning.
I want to see them.
Well, everyone has to have it, understand."
When these officials heard this, they were stunned for a moment.
The emperor's determination to seek wealth seemed to be very determined.
Thinking this, they quickly agreed in unison, feeling relieved in their hearts.
It seems that what happened today is over, and only Xue Lian was unlucky.
Sure enough, the emperor said to them: "I have also allocated military tents.
Please don't let me worry about the rest.
The money and food donated must be in place.
The capital and those kind-hearted people will also let them donate what they can."
Donate, no matter what you do, I just want one thing, don’t let me see these refugees die of hunger and cold again.”
After he finished speaking, he no longer cared about the officials' responses, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and drove the horse away.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live my emperor."
Whether they were officials, soldiers, or refugees, they all knelt on the ground and greeted him in unison.
"Ding, achievement value 1, from refugee A" "Ding, achievement value 1, from refugee B" "Ding, the achievement value is 1, from Soldier A" "Ding, the achievement value is 1, from the eunuch's official official status" "" The sound of tinkling tinkling continued, longer than any time before.
However, most of the achievement points were contributed by refugees, and few high-ranking officials contributed.
But even so, after the system prompt ended, Hu Guang immediately checked the lower left corner of the chat group: the achievement value was 1512.
I took the exam, Hu Guang's first thought was to make a fortune.
I didn't expect that this time, the achievement value would exceed 1,000, so why worry about it?
Just use it.
Anyway, it's still a long way to go to Mangui, so let's try with another ten or eight people.
Thinking of doing it, Hu Guang immediately wanted to click the add button.
But at this moment, Gao Shiyue drove his horse closer to him, and then asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's time for lunch, look."
When Hu Guang heard this, he looked up at the sky.
Sure enough, it was almost noon.
He turned around and looked around, and found that during the martial law period in the capital, no restaurants were open at all.
At this time, he realized that if the rebels were not retreated and the martial law in the capital was not lifted, it would be very inconvenient for the people of the capital and would inevitably cause great economic losses.

If it was the original Emperor Chongzhen, even if he didn't care about what to eat, he still had to worry about royal dignity and might return to the palace.
But Hu Guang came from a later generation.
What can the royal family eat?
After thinking about it for a moment, he said casually: "Let's go to Manqing's place for dinner."
When it came to eating, Hu Guang was actually hungry, so he stopped thinking about adding more people, picked up the horse's speed slightly, and left quickly.
In the archery tower at the head of the city, Mangui was ordered to set up his headquarters directly here when he was in danger.
As a result, Li Fengxiang, the eunuch Li Fengxiang, the admiral of the Beijing camp and the chief of etiquette, had to be here at the top of the city because he was ordered to assist Mangui.
At this time, they were all having a meal.
Li Fengxiang didn't bother to eat with these big-headed soldiers, but ate alone in a separate room.
Man Gui rose from the lowest rank as a soldier.
He was used to being in the army and didn't care about his status.
He and a group of his cronies would eat from a large bowl, hoping to fill up their stomachs by dividing three times, five, and two, so that they could do more work.
It's no wonder that the emperor entrusted the city defense to him, which was equivalent to entrusting his life to him.
This kind of trust made Man Gui, who had no one in the court, burst into tears of gratitude, wishing he could show his loyalty to the emperor with all his heart and lungs.
At this moment, a chamberlain suddenly broke in and hurriedly asked where Li Fengxiang was, saying that the emperor had an oral order.
Man Gui was a little surprised.
He didn't know what the emperor meant by not looking for him, but only looking for Li Fengxiang.
However, he didn't dare to neglect, and quickly led the eunuch to Li Fengxiang's room in the back room.
After a while, the waiter left in a hurry.
Following him was Li Fengxiang, who was a little panicked.
As soon as he came out, he shouted loudly and removed all the food and wine from his room.
Man Gui was depressed when he saw it.
He couldn't understand why Li Fengxiang didn't even eat.
His character made him immediately ask: "Eunuch Li, what's the big deal?"
Li Fengxiang was very busy.
After ordering the people to clear away the food and wine, he said to the people: "Come on, put some bowls and chopsticks here, we are going to have lunch with Lao Man."
Mangui didn't see his answer, but when she heard his words, she couldn't help but feel even more depressed.
Just because he has a straight temper doesn't mean he's stupid.
Li Fengxiang's usual aloof attitude, even if the emperor asked him to be the governor of the capital, he still had that attitude and looked down on him.
He had nothing to complain about.
After all, it is not just a day or two when a warrior is looked down upon by civil servants or eunuchs.
This is something that all warriors are accustomed to.
Therefore, Li Fengxiang's abnormal behavior made him even more confused.
After Li Fengxiang finished his work, he sat down and said to Man Gui with a smile: "The emperor left the palace and found out what happened with the refugees.
Long Yan was furious and just sent people to transfer some military tents from the Beijing camp. " There were a few "clang" sounds, but when two generals heard the news, they couldn't hold the bowls in their hands and fell to the ground.
The emperor went out to inspect the palace.
Looking back, only Emperor Zhengde had such a thing.
It has been so many years, but during this period, the current emperor would actually go out of the palace to observe the sentiments of the people:
