If you are an old man in Jingshi, you will definitely feel that the weather is getting hotter and drier.
It's just early spring, and the heat is unbearable, even if you wear a single coat, it's still very uncomfortable.
Outside the capital, a group of middle-aged people in ragged clothes gathered by the wall, looking at the warm sun, squinting, very comfortable, but not a little sleepy.
"You have heard that the imperial court wants to dredge the Yellow River and is preparing to recruit ......"
"But no, I heard that this time the scale is huge, thousands of miles, and hundreds of thousands ......of people are needed."
"If it weren't for the mother-in-law in the family who was going to give birth again, I would definitely go, I heard that I would give a lot of silver this time......
"It depends on who it is, if it's the imperial court, I'm afraid there won't be much, if it's a firm, maybe it can give a lot of ......."
"Speaking of which, the last time I was at the dock, I helped the Huiyun shipping company move the goods for a morning, and I earned fifty yuan!"
"Then do you know that Huimin Chamber of Commerce?
Once they were short of people, so they asked me to dig sweet potatoes for them, dug for a day, gave me 200 Wen, and gave me a lot of sweet potatoes, hey, that thing, I ate it for half a month, saving a lot of money!
” "It's better to be in the capital, there is more money and less life, I heard that many people are starving to death outside."
"Well, I also heard that the household department gave more than one million taels of silver to Shaanxi/West for disaster relief, and the imperial court was also short of money, I heard that those princes and ministers all donated silver, and the emperor took out a lot of things in the palace and sold them......"
"The world is difficult, if you want to say that you meet a faint king, it's just a traitor, but there is no ......"
"Speaking of which, it is indeed true, the world is like this, and I can't complain about others."
"It's far away, the matter of the Yellow River, whether you go or not, if you go, find someone again, go together, and have a ...... to take care of" "I have to take another look, the Huitong Commercial Bank posted a notice a few days ago, looking for someone to open up the wasteland and farm, and give 50 wen for food and housing every day, and 5 taels ......of silver for two months."
"Well, there is another one, that is, to build roads, I heard that there is also a shortage of people, but it may go farther, and I will give sixty Wen ...... a day."
"Okay, okay, don't say it, squint for a while, the people from the Pingwang Mansion will come later, carefully distinguish clearly, don't send the wrong one, and then deduct the money, I won't intercede for you."
"Holo."
"You can rest assured, once you are born and twice cooked, you won't be wrong."
"That is, we didn't know it was for the princes and ministers before......"
The man they called 'Head' was wrapped in a thick single coat, his head shrunk into his clothes, only his two eyes were exposed, and he muttered to himself, "I won't just be here......"
The first year of Chongzhen, the ninth day of April.
Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, as the prime minister, cooperated with the six ministries, and took the household department as the main to set up the 'Reclamation Temporary Yamen', with Qian Longxi as the prime minister, and Fan Jingwen in the Wenzhao Pavilion as the main matter, with 2.5 million taels of silver, and began to take the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, and the Grand Canal as the main line, large-scale dredging, dredging, and the vast project of reclaiming wasteland.
On the same day, Fu Changzong, the secretary of the household department, submitted a plan for the reform of the tax system, dividing the Ming tax into two parts: national tax and local tax, which were planned to be tried in Beijing.
Xu Dahua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, asked Wenzhao Pavilion to renovate and build a new official road on the grounds that the 'official road' was in disrepair.
Zhou Yingqiu, the secretary of the ministry, said that the disadvantages of the 'examination method' were too heavy, and he requested to revise it.
Ni Wenhuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said that the more serious the danger of banditry, please send officials from the Criminal Department to assist in various places.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Zhang I continued to play, Dali Temple Qing Wang Shaohui, the left capital of the Imperial Palace Yang Lian......
With the cooperation of Zhu Youzhen, the Ming Dynasty aroused unprecedented enthusiasm, and one after another edicts came out of the Wenzhao Pavilion, plus the seal of the celebrant supervisor, and the Ming to the world!
Just then, a snow-white carrier pigeon flew into the palace.
A little eunuch took off the secret letter on its leg, rushed into the celebrant eunuch, and it didn't take long for it to be transferred to Zhu Xu's desk.
Zhu Xu has been arranging to go out of Beijing these days, and when he saw this secret letter, his expression was slightly gloomy.
This is the news that Jinyiwei got from Liaodong, and the source is Li Sizhong himself, who is in Guang/Ningcheng.
Huang Taiji decided that in five days, he would attack Jinzhou!
After reading it, Zhu Xu said with a smile: "Huang Taiji's hand is really beautiful, and after a while, many people in Liaodong will collapse." ” Cao Huachun stood there with a bowed body, his expression unmoving.
But I knew in my heart that Zhu Xu's words meant something, in the past, there were no soldiers and civilians who had not been built as slaves to attack, and there were not a few soldiers who abandoned the city and fled, and even guerrilla generals, deputy commanders, and commanders.
Zhu Xu looked at this secret letter, pondered for a long time, and said, "Send a decree to Liaodong, and strictly order that you must not act rashly, especially when you go out of the city to fight with Jiannu.
Then order Mao Wenlong, bluff is okay, and strictly ordered not to attack. ” "Yes."
Cao Huachun said.
Zhu Xu took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Send a decree to Cao Bianjiao, Man Gui, Liu Hua, two days later, set off!"
” Cao Huachun had expected it, and he was not surprised, so he bowed down and said, "Obey the order." ” The matter of the imperial conquest is still a secret on a large scale, so even if you leave Beijing, you must also keep it secret.
This matter has been prepared for a long time, Cao Bianjiao led a thousand forbidden troops, 3,000 firearms battalions, 3,000 Mangui cavalry, plus 3,000 borrowed from Mongolia, plus 30,000 chariots and cavalry troops from the Jingdong battalion, a total of 40,000 soldiers and horses.
This is still a strict establishment, plus the celebrant supervisor, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Li Jieyu and others, seven, seven, eight, eight, and hundreds of people.
It's night, Cining Palace.
"Bring this dress too, it's cold in Liaodong."

"This is your favorite food, do you want to bring a few with the imperial chef?"
"Usually don't leave people around you, that Cao Bianjiao is still young, I think I can rest assured that Cao Wenzhao is by your side."
"By the way, you can promise me that you will only stay in Shanhaiguan ......"
Zhu Xu hugged Xiao Yongning, stood on his legs, teasing, the little guy could already speak, and his little mouth called vaguely: "Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang...
Good job..."
Zhu Xu felt that Empress Dowager Zhang was very much like her son's mother who was going out, worried about this and not worried about that, and the nagging was endless.
He was also helpless, so he could only nod patiently.
Empress Dowager Zhang said, maybe she felt it herself, sighed, looked at Zhu Xu and said with a worried face, "You, you haven't been out of this capital since you were a child, and you ran to such a dangerous place all of a sudden, I can't feel at ease." ” Zhu Xu smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, you think so, Xiao Yongning will grow up soon, she is going to get married, if her husband's family treats her badly, he secretly beats her, scolds her, doesn't give her food or drink, and lets her work......"
Empress Dowager Zhang became even more annoyed when she heard this, she hugged Xiao Yongning from his hand, frowned and said angrily: "You are getting more and more angry now, okay, it's getting late, hurry up and ...... go."
Zhu Xu smashed his mouth, he was telling the truth, it was completely possible...... was kicked out of Cining Palace, and Zhu Xu went to lie down with Concubine Liu again.
Concubine Liu is not like Empress Dowager Zhang, she took Zhu Xu's hand with a smile and said, "Since Xuanzong, Wuzong has led his troops to the battle, and the emperor can have such boldness, the old woman is very pleased......
Zhu Xu pouted secretly, I'm afraid there are still ones, but it's not easy to mention, right?
Zhu Xu couldn't answer this sentence, so he had to smile.
Concubine Liu looked at Zhu Xu's expression and said with a smile, "The old woman will tell the emperor one more thing." ” Zhu Xu was stunned, Concubine Liu was already close to his ear and whispered, and his eyes widened.
Concubine Liu smiled as if she hadn't said anything, and asked with concern, "How is the emperor's appetite lately?"
”
