Chapter 58: Seeing the Son of Heaven's Speech Wisdom, and Praying for Ganlin's Great Internal Fighti
In front of the emperor, all the super-powered magic that makes people scare must not appear.
If you are afraid of it, not only will you die, but you will not be able to escape the punishment of heaven, even if you are in danger of death, you will not be able to escape the punishment of heaven.
The only magic that can be accepted is the ritual prayer. However, the risk of praying for the rain every time is too high, and once it fails, it will become a stain... The Tianshi Mansion has also had a history of being deprived of the title of "Zhengyi Zhenren".
Now, Feihe's letter has made a brilliant debut, as if it was a spell tailor-made for the return of the Taoist forces.
Without lethality and high threshold, it is of great help to military and national affairs. Since Chongzhen ascended the throne, he has been concerned about most of military and natural disasters. From his attitude of appointing commander, it can be seen that this young man has reached the point of being hungry and food. As long as someone stands up and says, "I can!" he can immediately entrust an important task.
However, Chongzhen did not expect a problem: as an adult, he said wildly before he could figure out the situation, such as pacifying Liao in five years and quelling rebellion in three years. Is this kind of person reliable?
With this desperate impulse, Chongzhen would not be stingy even if he had the title of Duke and Mausoleum.
Wang Chengen was an old man from Chongzhen during his vassal period. He had seen all kinds of literati, military general, literati and literati. As long as the Taoist priest in front of him could not see through it.
What is he trying to do? With this kind of ability, some people must beg him to collect money, but they don’t look like they want to be an official. If they want to spread the teachings and practices, they blocked the emperor’s way to enthrone the real person. What exactly did he think?
Wang Chengen gasped while imitating the dog's appearance and smiled, while thinking in his heart.
Qian Yiqun felt a hot gaze falling on his body. Xunzhi looked at Wang Chengen, who looked quite like a clown. He thought to himself: This eunuch has been with Chongzhen for the rest of his life. In the end, he hanged himself with Chongzhen, which is also considered loyal and fierce. What did he want to look at me like this? Is it colluding between inside and outside?
"Xiaodao came to meet the Holy Emperor today. He was just moved by the loyal king of Sun Ge Lao." Qian Yiqun said, "I am a Taoist, and it's boring to be an official. I want money... I'm afraid I'm richer than you."
Chongzhen's face turned red.
Although the fiscal policy of the Ming Dynasty was criticized by later generations and believed that it was caused by Zhu Yuanzhang's small peasant thought, the division of the emperor's private money from the state's public funds was commendable. Not only could the emperor unable to move the national treasury, he had to take out the private money from the treasury to do business. Even the stingy iron rooster of Wanli was dug up millions of taels of silver by court officials to fight the three major battles.
Emperor Taichang was reigned for several months. He was only addicted to the beauty of the harem, but the treasury did not use much. Unfortunately, Emperor Tianqi was an emperor with no concept of financial management and devoted himself to carpentry. Wei Zhongxian corrupted the Daxing East Factory, trained the internal army, and equipped firearms. These silver was naturally paid out of the treasury.
After Chongzhen ascended the throne, he was frightened to find that the legendary grandfather Wanli left behind a million taels of treasury, which was empty. Even so, the ministers asked the emperor to pay for the disaster because the national treasury was deficient.
Seeing the boy's face flushed, Qian Yiqun knew that he had hit the pain point and shook his head slightly: "As the emperor, it is indeed not easy to be poor to His Majesty."
"I can't bear to abuse the people by starting a mine!" Chongzhen explained weakly.
Most of the money from Emperor Wanli of Shenzong came from the mining prison. Although the eunuchs were full of their own pockets and poisoned the people, they did bring back huge amounts of private property to the emperor. Therefore, Wanli refused to give in on the issue of mining prison, and was even more persistent than the matter of determining the foundation of the country.
"There are many ways to make money. There is no need to compete with the people for profit." Qian Yiqun sighed, "In this way, your Majesty will sell me a piece of land."
"Where do you want?" Chongzhen never thought about selling land. As long as Qian Yiqun doesn't want his ancestral tomb, it doesn't matter if he gives him one or two palaces in the Forbidden City.
The premise is that the spell must be transmitted.
"Yuntai Mountain, Henan." Qian Yiqun said.
"Is the scenery there very good? I thought there were more gods in Zhongnan Mountain." Chongzhen had never heard of it. Originally, Yuntai Mountain was not a world-class scenic spot.
"It is the place where the ancestors practice. I just don't want to let people open mountains and cut down forests and destroy them." Qian Yiqun said in his heart: Yilin has lived there for a long time, and maybe she has a relationship. Take this opportunity to take it all and build a villa for vacation in the future.
"Don't worry, the price will not disappoint Your Majesty." Qian Yiqun smiled slightly and took out a white tiger skin from the golden scale basket.
The white tiger's fur roots are firm and the fur is bright. When it shakes in the wind, it will swell up with a wave of light. The white hair is snow-white, and the black hair is like ink, without mixing it. This is rare in the palace!
Chongzhen only felt that this was not an ordinary person, but he didn't know the goods. He waved to Wang Chengen and pointed to the tiger skin that Qian Yiqun pounced on the ground. Wang Chengen thought it was a mountain money, so he quickly called the eunuch in charge to come and check it.
When the eunuch arrived, Qian Yiqun was already building gold and silver on this tiger skin.
"What do you think? This tiger skin is a big deal, not a lot of money." Qian Yiqun said.
The eunuch was about to report the estimation when he was shocked by Qian Yiqun's words, and he tripped his left foot on his right foot and almost fell down.
"Is that tiger skin very valuable?" Chongzhen's heart moved.
"Your Majesty, that white tiger skin is really top-notch!" said the eunuch who was in charge of the inspection and said in a trembling voice, "It is more than twice as big as the one paid by Siam. The coat is also bright, and the handicrafts made of nitrogen is even first-class. What is particularly rare is that there is no worming point."
Chongzhen lowered his voice: "How much money is worth?" Although Qian Yiqun said it was a waste of money, he still wanted to change it to silver and calculate it more intuitively.
The eunuch lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "This kind of tiger skin is already a priceless treasure. If he really wants to take action, someone will definitely grab the five or six thousand taels of silver."
They thought they were speaking in a low voice, but they didn't know that the kind-hearted people had good ears, so they didn't leave a word.
"Someone paid 10,000 taels to buy this tiger skin, but the trail was not sold." Qian Yiqun bragged all over the sky, "I can't find the bag for a while, so use it to wrap the gold."
Chongzhen's ear drum was shaking, and he heard his heartbeat pounding, just staring at the handsome man's fish basket.
The fish basket spit out gold ingots, as if they could never spit them all out.
Although silver was the legal currency in the Ming Dynasty, gold gave people dozens of times as shocking as silver.
Especially the neatly stacked gold!
Sun Chengzong was sweating when he saw it, and thought to himself: I thought this man was here to make a living in Qiufeng... Isn't I already dazzled?
After Qian Yiqun took the gold collected from the Zhang family and the Wang family, he saw that the tiger skin was almost piled up, which was half a person tall.
Chongzhen swallowed.
"Your Majesty, these golds can be saved for a while, so please deal with them properly." Qian Yiqun remembered that Emperor Chongzhen in his previous life had the idea of moving the capital. After discussing with his son-in-law, he found that he could not even afford the travel expenses to Nanjing! Two months later, he could only commit suicide by hanging himself.
"Now the state is in turmoil, and there are many places to use money." Chongzhen looked up at the sky, so that he could not let tears fall.
As a strong and almost stubborn Emperor Chongzhen, he did not want others to see his weakness.
Since Zulong, I am afraid that the emperor who was hit with a golden bullet in his heart will be the first to be the emperor who was hit with a golden bullet. Chongzhen felt more and more urged to cry. Then he thought of Emperor Xian of Han, who had no food to eat, and for the first time he had an ominous thought: Could it be that God wants me to be the king of the destruction of the country!
"It is useless to spend money like Yang He in Shanxi and Shaanxi." Qian Yiqun knew that the real problem in the Ming Dynasty is that it is impossible to open up sources, and even less to reduce costs. He said: "A Taoist priest can see that those bandits are being pacified today and rebel tomorrow. If the money is being thrown down, it is purely a capital enemy!"
"Those thieves are my people, how can they bear to kill them!" Chongzhen shouted.
"Okay, okay, I am a Taoist, and I don't know anything." Qian Yiqun said, "Also, you really have no money and don't have to be embarrassed. There are so many powerful people in the capital, who can't raise tens of thousands of taels of silver?"
Sun Chengzong coughed softly, signaling Qian Yiqun to be cautious.
Qian Yiqun couldn't help but remember that Chongzhen asked officials and honorary officials in the capital to raise funds in his previous life, but these people who were full of food donated less than eunuchs.
If the Ming Dynasty does not perish, it will be unreasonable.
Qian Yiqun shook his head slightly, and when he thought of his house in Suzhou, his heart couldn't help but be covered with a layer of haze.
It seems that we still have to find a way to develop Yugou Cave Heaven... Well, or after marrying Yilin, letting parents go to their parents to live temporarily, which is also a way.
Qian Yiqun thought that he had enough way to retreat, and the haze before was finally dispelled. However, Emperor Chongzhen had no way to retreat. He stared at the gold on the tiger's skin, full of the terrible thought of "the king of the country to be destroyed".
"Empress Yi'an is here, the queen is here!" The eunuchs heard the news.
The arrival of the two queens finally freed Emperor Chongzhen from his fear and stood up to meet him.
Empress Yi'an's name is Zhang Yan, and she is the empress of Emperor Tianqi.
The strong queen was aborted by the demon Keshi and was infertile since then. However, she firmly sent King Xin Zhu Youjian to the throne on the issue of passing on the throne, which was for Emperor Chongzhen. Based on the principle of the eldest sister-in-law being a mother, Emperor Chongzhen respected Zhang Yan very much and even awe, and never neglected her throughout her life.
The Empress Zhou, also chosen by Empress Yi'an and Zhang, was frugal and virtuous. She set up twenty-four spinning wheels in the harem to teach palace ladies to weave textiles. She only wore cloth clothes and never gave them too much rewards during festivals.
These two women who are highly respected by the emperor came together, which is another important thing, and I heard that there is a living god and immortal magic power.
However, the pile of gold on the ground is more eye-catching than the living gods.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that the relatives of the foreign power would abduct, he stipulated that the royal concubines had to choose innocent people from the common people. It can be said that the harems in the Ming Dynasty were the most popular. Whether it was Queen Zhang or Queen Zhou, they were only from small families.
Especially Empress Zhou moved to Beijing with her father during her throne, and she was poor and had no place to stand. Her father made a living by telling fortunes with others, and finally sent her to the palace and chose Princess Xin.
For these two mothers of the same country, so much gold is really shocking!
