In fact, the direct cause of the demise of a country or a dynasty is the collapse of finance.

Just like a company, if you want to truly understand the company and buy the company's stocks, you must read its financial statements, understand and analyze.

Where the country’s money comes from, where it is used, and what effect it has produced can all analyze the country’s current economy, internal affairs, science and technology.

This means that the tax bills in the late dynasty can be analyzed:

1. The people are suffering from disaster.

2. Land annexation is serious.

Three, more tax evasions.

4. The collapse of the administrative system.

The fourth point is the issue of the court's own management.

Once the administrative system collapses, too many problems will be extended.

For example, local people paid taxes, but officials underreported them underreported in various terms and told you that there is no tax to pay for various reasons.

This all reflects the collapse of administration.

The administrative collapse also has a very terrible consequence, which is that when local resources are urgently dispatched to support it, it is extremely easy to lose links and make bad things.

For example, Yang He's incident this time is a typical example of the fact that after starting from Taiyuan, the mud cows entered the sea and finally arrived in Shaanxi, there was probably not much left.

In fact, it is not just the necrosis of administration, but also the necrosis of military and political affairs, and there is nothing to say.

Now everything is an urgent and important matter. It is useless to rely on the central court to send a few officials to investigate, then come back to write a report, and then pull a lot of them in the court!

There is only one way to solve this problem.

Just take the army and drive directly over and start to pile up people!

Unfortunately, Zhang Chen has no army now.

The new army has been released now.

But it doesn't matter. Even in urgent matters, there is room for buffering.

After Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou made Wang Jiayin, they would be free. At that time, the morale of the peasant army would be frustrated and there would be a period of calm.

This period of calm was Chongzhen’s best opportunity to use a knife to kill the grain and then rectify the local administration.

The steps are not exaggerated, it starts with the three provinces of Beizhili, Shanxi and Shaanxi.

After returning from Dongchang, Chongzhen was too lazy to think about those things.

He ran to Tian Xiuying to talk about life. Such a beautiful girl can't let others do it... wait.

Although it is a little cool in early autumn, you don’t have to cover too much when you sleep at night.

After a while, Tian Xiuying lay in Zhang Chen's arms, and the room was filled with her body fragrance.

It's wet.

"Husband, do you have any trouble?"

"Xiuying, what would you do if the Ming Dynasty perished one day?"

Tian Xiuying was shocked and hurriedly said, "Husband, how could the Ming Dynasty perish? Husband is a wise monarch."

She was really shocked that her husband was the emperor, and the emperor actually said such words.

However, Zhang Chen is not the real Chongzhen after all, and there is no burden to say such words.

He gently stroked Tian Xiuying and said, "I just joked casually. By the way, has Xiuying ever been to the beach?"

"Bay by the sea? I grew up in Yangzhou and later selected to the palace to follow my husband, but I have never been there."

"Then I will have the opportunity to take you to the beach from now on, it is beautiful."

"Where will you take me, please follow me."

Zhang Chen had also met many women in his previous life, and many very outstanding women.

However, like Tian Xiuying, she is so gentle, considerate, well-behaved, and so beautiful, she is proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she can dance swords, ride horses, and draw.

This is the first time he has seen such a girl.

The most important thing is... these legs are really straight, long and white, and they are in such a good shape.

It seems that it is not too unlucky to travel to Chongzhen, at least the girls are more beautiful than the other.

Early the next morning, Chongzhen arrived at the Ganqing Palace.

There are not many memorials today, but they are quiet.

Chongzhen read several letters, but the only one who was attracted was Song Yingxing.

In autumn, spring and summer are usually planted from March to April (lunar calendar) and harvested from August to October.

Song Yingxing said in his memorial that Shuntian Prefecture has harvested 100,000 stones of sweet potatoes this year!

100,000 stones are equivalent to 12 million jin.

One person can eat 3 kilograms of sweet potatoes, which can be eaten by 4 million people.

If you get 50 kilograms per person, you can get 240,000 people, and if you save 50 kilograms, you can eat for several months.

Not only that, sweet potatoes are also very easy to store.

transport!

Hurry up and transport it to Shaanxi!

Now Shuntian Prefecture is not short of food, and Chongzhen has asked Bi Ziyan to transfer hundreds of thousands of stones of grain from the south to Shuntian Prefecture.

Now in the Beijing Guards, Changping General You Shiwei.

"Go quickly! Go and call You Shiwei to me!"

"yes!"

Chongzhen said: "Song Aiqing, how many times has this sweet potato vine been shipped to Shaanxi now?"

"About 500 stones (60,000 jin)."

"Okay! All shipped!"

Chongzhen seemed a little excited: "Gao Qiqian, come to see me!"

Soon, Gao Qiqian came.

"What are the instructions of the emperor?"

"Take my sage and go to Xi'an quickly and tell Qian Longxi that he can find a way to preserve all the sweet potato vines and plant them in Shaanxi next year! Go immediately! No mistakes are allowed!"

"yes!"

Soon, You Shiwei came.

"See Your Majesty!"

Chongzhen said: "You Aiqing, I have a task to you. If you have completed it, I will add you the title of Left Governor."

When You Shiwei heard this, God immediately came.

What is the title of Left Governor?

He is the highest title of a military general except for nobles.

Further up is the title of title.

Mao Wenlong is the left governor.

"Please give your orders, I will never refuse!"

"The Agricultural Council has 100,000 stones of sweet potatoes. I want you to transport 90,000 stones to Yan'an Prefecture in Shaanxi, and I want you to send them to the people there in person."

You Shiwei was slightly stunned and said, "I will accept the order!"

You Shiwei is the most suitable candidate because he is from Yulin, Shaanxi, so it is safest to let him go.

First, digest this batch of sweet potatoes and transport them to the best. We must try our best to block the grain shortage in Shaanxi.

This is to minimize the pressure on Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou and others.

After the rebels temporarily calmed down for a while, Chongzhen could show his strength.

You Shiwei immediately went to the Privy Council to lead the seal.

Chongzhen said to Song Yingxing: "Song Aiqing, come and see."

"I plan to build canals in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Beizhili and Shandong Province in the next five years. All of these canals are used to irrigate fertile fields. You give me a plan and where to build it."

"You can pull Xu Xiake and Xu Guangqi to make the decision together, but I need it, what should I do to give it to me in half a month?"
Chapter completed!
