The matter about Mobei was decided so, and the Military Affairs Office would naturally deal with it next. However, Zhu Yicheng also knew that the north could only focus on prevention at the moment. After all, Mobei was too far from Beijing. Although the Ming army was strong, it was impossible to send troops to Mobei without completely solving the situation of the Qing Dynasty.

The food had to be eaten in one bite, and the things had to be done one by one. Zhu Yicheng, who calmed down, knew that he was a little too anxious, but at the same time he felt extremely angry at the Qing Dynasty's easy selling of land. He suppressed the anger in his heart. Zhu Yicheng talked about other things with the military ministers. With the end of the Battle of Central Plains, the many things that were placed in front of the Ming Dynasty were going to be dealt with one by one.

First of all, it is naturally the post-war resettlement work. The Ming army won a great victory in the Central Plains in the Battle of the Central Plains, thus completely expelling the Qing Dynasty's forces in the Central Plains. The sustainable war also brought great trauma, just like Jiangbei. Over the years, the Central Plains have experienced several wars, and the Qing Dynasty's large-scale expropriation in the Central Plains has resulted in the abandonment of fields everywhere and the displacement of the people. Looking around, it is a depressed look.

According to preliminary statistics, the Central Plains, especially most of Henan, northern Anhui, central and southern Shandong, and the Jiangbei area that was previously recovered, have reached tens of millions of refugees, and the granaries of various prefectures and counties have long been empty, and the situation is extremely unoptimistic.

Numbers came out of Shi Yizhi's mouth, and the people present were shocked and moved. Among the military ministers, Wang Fan's face was extremely ugly. You should know that the Ministry of Revenue was his jurisdiction. After the Fengyang Battle, the court proposed to rebuild Zhongdu, which had already made Wang Fan frustrated. If Zhu Yicheng had not secretly helped him, Wang Fan would have almost become a pants.

Now, there are so many places that need treatment and maintenance, Wang Fan doesn’t need to calculate too much and knows that this will be an astronomical figure, and with the current financial capabilities, there is no way to do it.

However, this is a state matter! It is necessary to do it even if it cannot be done. Could it be that the Ming Dynasty can only watch the people of the Central Plains displaced and cannot even eat a bite of rice? If so, then what is the difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty? Wouldn’t the external propaganda become lies that deceive the world? How did the Ming Dynasty face the people of the world? And what would the emperor Zhu Yicheng have to face the world?

So, after Shi Yizhi finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to Wang Fan, which made him even more complain.

"Emperor, everyone." Wang Fan said with a bitter face: "The Ministry of Revenue can no longer afford the money. He has been fighting for many years. The military expenditure was originally large. In addition, the previous allocation of funds from Jiangbei, the Ministry of Revenue now has only three million yuan in its account. Even if the customs clearance is put into the warehouse in advance, don't forget that the monthly expenses of the court are a huge amount..."

"Wang Zhongtang." Shi Yizhi said unhappy: "You are the God of Wealth in the Ming Dynasty. You have to find a way to make this funding. At present, hungry people are everywhere in the Central Plains. Can't you watch the people in the world suffer if you can't help but watch the people in the world suffer?"

"What did Shi Zhongtang say!" Wang Fan frowned and immediately retorted: "The funds from the Ministry of Revenue are innocent, both income and expenditure. For this war, the Ministry of Revenue has tried every means to allocate funds, but no one expected that the plan did not change quickly! Besides, the reconstruction of the city was strongly requested by everyone from the Censorate. If the money was not allocated at that time, maybe Wang could have raised one or two, but now..."

When Wang Fan said this, Shi Yizhi's face became awkward in an instant. Although he wrote to the court at that time, and even jumped up and down and said that he wanted to re-revise Zhongdu, most of the memorials to appease the people of Fengyang came from the censors, and Shi Yizhi, as the left censor, was the Censorate, but in fact, this matter was not due to his instruction. But then again, this matter was indeed taken up by the Censors, and it was not an exaggeration for Wang Fan to blame him for this matter.

"One code is one code!" Shi Yizhi said with a tough head: "The Battle of Fengyang is almost empty, and Zhongdu is almost a ruin. Can't the people of Zhongdu be comforted? If the court did not allocate funds at that time, how would you let the people of the world view my Ming Dynasty?"

"Yes! So the Ministry of Revenue allocated funds!" Wang Fan spread his hands and said helplessly: "But Shi Zhongtang, you have to know the current difficulties of the court. Do you think the Ministry of Revenue has hidden a sea of ​​gold and silver?"

"you……."

"Cough cough cough..." Seeing that the two of them would probably start arguing on the spot if they continued, Liao Huanzhi coughed a few times to interrupt the conversation. Then his eyes swept in front of the two, and finally turned to Zhu Yicheng.

"Emperor, I think the treatment of the people in the Central Plains is indeed urgent, but the financial tension of the Ministry of Revenue is also the truth. In my opinion, how to do this matter needs to be discussed carefully."

"What do you think about this?" Zhu Yicheng asked.

Liao Huanzhi bowed to Zhu Yicheng and said, "The Battle of Central Plains ended early, which is a good thing for the court, but it also aggravated the current difficulties of the court. According to the opinions of the ministers, the Central Plains ministries can be ordered to temporarily transfer some food from the army to distribute it locally to calm the hearts of the people."

Speaking of this, he turned his attention to Dong Dashan. Dong Dashan thought about it and nodded and said, "If the amount is not large, it's OK."

"This is natural." Liao Huanzhi said: "Distribution of grain from the army is only a temporary measure. The government's allocation is the most important. Wang Zhongtang, how much can the Ministry of Revenue find a way to squeeze it out?"

Wang Fan actually calculated this problem from the beginning and immediately replied: "The one that can be taken out immediately is about one million. In half a month, the Ministry of Revenue can allocate 2 million. If the taxes in various places are put into storage on time, it would be no problem to withdraw another five million in two months."

"Although it's not enough, it's barely enough!" Liao Huanzhi nodded and said, "Then Wang Zhongtang first allocated one million yuan to purchase grain from Nanyang urgently. He also asked Wang Shuai's navy and the Yangtze River Navy to help transport grain. If the Ministry of Revenue can reach an agreement with various commercial banks, he can ask him to advance funds to solve the urgent problem."

"In addition, local officials sent by the court should also find ways to treat them on the spot and start to resume production. You should know that although spring planting is over now, many places can still find ways to plant other crops, at least they can help the people survive this year. As long as they survive this year, everything will be fine after the coming year."

After saying that, Liao Huanzhi turned his gaze to Zhu Yicheng again. Zhu Yicheng nodded slightly after pondering. Liao Huanzhi's considerations were relatively comprehensive, and at least it could solve the most important problem at the moment, that is, the problem of food shortage among the people in the Central Plains.

In this situation, the first thing is to let the people survive first. As for homes and other things, these can be taken slowly. What's more, the Central Plains War has ended, and the court's expenses will be much more eased. As long as you wait for more than half a year, everything will be fine.

However, Zhu Yicheng also thought of those local great families. There have been many great families in the Central Plains. Although these families suffered losses in years of war, they were still much stronger than ordinary people. Not to mention the rest, just take the Confucius family in Shandong as an example. It is conceivable how rich the family of the saints is. As the orthodox Ming Dynasty, although Zhu Yicheng could not take the Kong family directly to seize the wealth of the Kong family, the Kong family was in the Qing Dynasty and later rewarded by the Qing court. After the revival of the Ming Dynasty, the Kong family did not make any statement. It was not until the Qing army collapsed in Shandong that the Kong family hurriedly sent people to Nanjing to surrender.

There are many fence-bearing plants like this. Apart from the Kong family, there are several other families. The Kong family is just the largest and most famous family. Now, they see that the Qing Dynasty is completely out of reach, and they are trying to change their families to join the Ming Dynasty. How can such an easy thing be in the world? It is not an exaggeration to let these families get some blood at this time. Some families even followed the Qing Dynasty to fight against the Ming Tian Army. In Zhu Yicheng's view, these families were reaping their own consequences and their destruction was natural.

In addition to these, there were also enemy properties from the Qing Dynasty, such as the fields, farms and so on in various places by the Qing officials and the Eight Banner nobles. These were naturally taken to the Ming Dynasty and then sold according to the previous examples to solve the financial problems.
