"Your Majesty, 20 days ago, the Khalkha tribe of northern Mongolia sent troops to attack western Mongolia.
After the Oirat Mongolia initially suffered losses, Oqiltu Khan personally led the army and defeated the invading enemy.
He captured many cattle and sheep.
He has sent an envoy over.
I want to trade more cattle and sheep for some military and national weapons."
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile after reading this private chat.
It seemed that Eqiltu's stay in the capital was not in vain, at least the study in the capital camp was useful.
Haha, if you want to exchange for a flintlock gun, then come and exchange it.
In a hugely profitable business like arms, the more the merrier.
With this in mind, he replied to Yang Sichang: "There is no problem in replacing the military equipment with heavy weapons, but you still need to keep an eye on the Oirat Mongolia.
After all, Gushi Khan has taken away a large number of elites.
It is hard to say what the future of the war will be like. " "What your Majesty said is absolutely true.
As far as I know, the main force of the Khalkha Mongolian tribe has not been damaged.
In the battle on the grassland, it was easy to defeat and difficult to annihilate.
I am paying attention to the follow-up military situation."
Seeing this reply, Emperor Chongzhen ignored it.
Now, Hong Chengchou only led part of the cavalry troops who went to Liaodong in the Hetao area.
There are at least seven or eight thousand cavalry troops still in Liaodong.
Although the number sounds large, Liaodong It was too big and was scattered all over the place.
In fact, there were not many.
They also needed to help clear out the remaining Manchu remnants and some bandit bullies who were hiding in various places.
Some of them even had to go to the court to clean up, and they would not be able to go back in a short time.
Therefore, for the time being, the Ming Dynasty cannot intervene on a large scale in western and northern Mongolia.
It would be best if the two Mongolian tribes can maintain a stalemate.
Oh, by the way, there are still not enough Han people in the Hetao area.
The disasters in the Qin and Jin areas in the past two years are expected to continue.
It is time to continue to migrate people to the Hetao and vigorously develop the Hetao Plain.
If in the original history, the bandits had already entered the Central Plains, and the natural disasters in the Central Plains had just begun to appear, as a result, as soon as this man-made disaster came, the entire Central Plains would be destroyed.
However, although there are natural disasters nowadays, at least there are no large-scale man-made disasters, and the people are living well.
Thinking of the Central Plains, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly thought of Qian Fugui's hometown, and couldn't help but think that his wife and children would be arriving at about the same time.
I took a photo later and showed it to Qian Fugui to reassure him.
When it was almost dusk, there was a shop in Kaifeng, Henan.
The waiters were closing the door and chatting with each other.
"Have you heard?
There are rumors that King Fu of Luoyang is also selling land."
"I also heard that King Tang of Nanyang sold all his land.
Liu Yuanwai, who lives next door to my house, bought a lot of land.
They are all good fields."
"That's not what I want to say.
Don't you know about the land owned by King Tang of Nanyang?
The government also specially set aside many small pieces of land for auction by the people who have no land.
It is said that this land can be mortgaged by banks.
A few people can get a piece of land for free, so many people over there will have land."
"No, the imperial court's decrees to benefit the people are coming one after another.
There is hope for these days."

"Haha, no, no, there are rewards for having more children.
My mother-in-law is pregnant with another one now."
"What, congratulations then?"
"Haha, we are all happy together."
The waiter was chatting and had already closed the door.
Then he turned to the shopkeeper behind the counter and said, "Shopkeeper Qian, my mother-in-law has to take care of me.
I'm leaving first."
When a forty-year-old shopkeeper heard this, he moved away from the account book and said with a smile: "Go back quickly."
After hearing this, the clerk thought of something and said to Shopkeeper Qian: "Shopkeeper, now the court encourages childbirth, so it's not too late to take a concubine."
The other guy heard it and was a little concerned.
They all knew that Shopkeeper Qian originally had two sons, but one of them went out to do business and was no longer heard from.
The son who stayed at home died of illness two years ago.
Now that my family is divorced, I sometimes get stunned when I see children on the street.
The most common thing I say is, if my son was still here, my grandson would be this old.
Or, he could blame his son, no longer want this family, and just die outside.
There had been no news for such a long time.
This guy actually knew that the son of shopkeeper Qian might have died outside in all likelihood.
These days, it is not easy to travel far away for business.
No one would do it unless it was a last resort.
Shopkeeper Qian's family was very poor before, and his son was forced to go out to do business.
But later, shopkeeper Qian got some shitty luck, and the county magistrate recognized him as just an old boy, and let him become the shopkeeper in this shop, and his life became much easier.
Thinking of this, the clerk quickly said: "Shopkeeper, I have to leave too.
The children's school is about to end, and I have to pick up my son."
"Haha, let's go, let's go," shopkeeper Qian replied with a smile, waved, and watched the two clerks happily leave from the side door.
When no one was there, he suddenly sighed in his heart and felt a little dazed.
The words of these two guys just now really hit home the pain in his heart.
As the saying goes, there are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is not having offspring.
The younger son is gone, but the eldest son went out to do business, but there is just no news.
I hope God will bless him and he is starting to flourish outside.
If I had known that I could have good fortune and would have a chance to be appreciated by the county magistrate, I really shouldn't have let my eldest son go out to do business.
Otherwise, the family would be better off now, and they could support as many grandchildren as they wanted, and they could still be like this guy when he arrived.
Click, go to the children’s school to pick up your grandson from school Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Qian felt a pain in his heart again.
Originally, his family still had some money, but it was all spent by him who was a child student and took the exam to become a scholar.
But if you are not a scholar, if you are just a child, then it is of no use at all.
It's better now.
The imperial court has opened a children's school.
As long as you are old enough and have a place, you can go to the children's school to study.
Children don't have to spend money.
I heard that it is easier to take the scholar examination.
What kind of technology can be learned in the children's school?
As long as you can pass the basic courses, you will get extra points if you take the scholar exam later.
After staying for a long time, Shopkeeper Qian came back to his senses and showed a wry smile on his face.
Not to mention grandchildren, he didn't even have a son.
Why should he think so much?
The mother-in-law at home was not in good health, so he had to go back early.

Thinking of this, he suddenly sighed again.
The mother-in-law's health is not good, but she is not thinking about her son.
When I get home, my mother-in-law will nag me, saying that I should have listened to her and not let my son travel far away.
Now that my family is better off, and my relationship with the county magistrate is okay, maybe my son can take care of my shortcomings.
As a shopkeeper, you don't have to worry about food and drink.
Shopkeeper Qian packed up his things and left the shop.
He looked at the red sunset in the evening and walked home.
At this time, Lao Wang's family next door must be lively again.
They have five sons and three daughters.
It's so lively.
One of the sons also runs a small business and can bring a piece of meat to the house every once in a while. , In the past, I saw my mother-in-law very envious.
She always said in front of me that the old Wang's mother-in-law was showing off again, and the meaty smell would come to my house.
Although I was able to eat meat at home later, the old Wang's mother-in-law always kept eating one mouthful at a time.
My son was blah blah, my son was blah blah.
Isn't it just that I had meat to eat?
I have money now, so I don't need meat.
With this thought in mind, Shopkeeper Qian suddenly changed direction, stepped a little faster, and headed towards the butcher shop anxiously.
The meat is cheaper at night, so I can cut a big piece and take it home.
Not long after, shopkeeper Qian picked up half a pig's head and walked home.
He sighed again for no reason.
He had meat, but he only bought it for himself.
No matter what, it is still not as good as the old Wang family, and the mother-in-law will always complain about what happened back then.
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly saw a person running in front of him.
He shouted to him from a distance: "Old Qian, Lao Qian, I knew you were here."
Shopkeeper Qian looked up and saw that it was Lao Wangtou next door.
He really came up with whatever he wanted.
He was a little bored, but he was also a little curious and asked: "What's the matter?
You have something to do with me."
Lao Wangtou ran up to him, panting with joy, and said loudly: "No, go back quickly, someone is coming to your family, no, no, no, your son is back, uh, no, your grandson is back."
"What are you doing, come here to make me happy?"
When shopkeeper Qian heard this, he was a little unhappy.
He lied to himself that his son was back and it was fine.
He also said that his grandson was also back.
Where did his grandson come from?
"That's a pomp, you don't know, your son is going to be promising."
At this point, Lao Wangtou suddenly came back to his senses, and quickly took the half pig head from shopkeeper Qian's hand, and at the same time urged him: "Hurry up!
Go back, the county magistrate is at your house."
"What do you mean?"
Shopkeeper Qian was a little confused.
One moment he said that his son was back, the next moment he said that his grandson was back, and now he said that the county magistrate was at his home.
What was going on?
He felt that Old Wangtou was taking pleasure in himself, but that was impossible.
He had done so before when he was not the shopkeeper, but since he became the shopkeeper, Old Wangtou and his family all respect him.
But the county minister is Who can come to your home?
It’s impossible.

When Lao Wangtou saw that Shopkeeper Qian was not moving, he became anxious.
He pushed Shopkeeper Qian with his hand without mentioning Zhutou.
It felt wrong, so he quickly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to push, no, no, no, I was."
I pushed you on purpose, urging you, you are the head of the family, your mother-in-law and your wife can't handle it, let me tell you, there are Jin Yiwei here, it seems to be Lord Qianhu, so majestic."
"Why is it that Jin Yiwei is also in my house?"
Shopkeeper Qian panicked.
If he was trying to bullshit the county magistrate, it would be the limit.
If he wanted to talk about Jin Yiwei again, he would be really bold.
"If you want to have a family, I will drag you to the county."
"yamen" After saying that, shopkeeper Qian started running in a hurry and rushed home.
Lao Wangtou held half a pig's head, looked at Shopkeeper Qian's back with a smile and sighed: "I didn't expect to name my son Fugui.
He is really rich
