Chapter 2043 Why is there no money again? When did you grow up, Nizi?

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty returned to the court in triumph, and personally escorted 20,000 to 30,000 slave slaves and captives back to Beijing. Then he held a grand celebration banquet at Wansheng Palace, where he and his meritorious soldiers stayed drunk until they returned. After the celebration banquet, there was another grand gesture

Rewards! Those who were promoted were promoted, and those who were given rewards were given out. The most eye-catching thing was the titles given to villages. How many marquises were given out in one go!

Chen Qiyu, the general counselor of the armies in front of the tent, Cao Wenzhao, the general counselor of the armies in front of the tent, Lu Xiangsheng, the commander-in-chief of the left army in front of the tent, Zhou Yuji, the commander-in-chief of the right army in front of the tent, Sun Chuanting, the commander-in-chief of the army in front of the palace, Hong Chengchou, governor of Yanning, Ji Liao

Governor Yuan Chonghuan, Liaoxi Commander-in-Chief Zu Dashou, Jizhen Commander-in-Chief Zhao Lijiao, Ningyuan Commander-in-Chief He Kegang, Datong Commander-in-Chief Mangui, Xuanfu Commander-in-Chief Hei Yunlong, Daning garrison Sun Zushou, Pingliao Commander-in-Chief Mao Wenlong, and the left army in front of the tent.

Twenty people including deputy general Huang Degong, deputy general of the front army Sun Yingyuan, Yuan Fu Wang Zai Jin, Ge Lao Sun Chengzong, Ge Lao Zhang Fengyi, Ge Lao Bi Ziyan, etc. all deserved the title of marquis!

In addition, the deceased Yang Hao, Yuan Yingtai, and Xu Guangqi were all posthumously granted the title of marquis, and their titles were inherited by their sons. Don’t think that you can stop being granted the title of marquis after you die. Don’t work hard. All these actual marquises are

Hereditary and irreplaceable!

Under the twenty-three marquises, there are forty-five earls, fifty-one viscounts, and sixty-nine barons. Wu Sangui, Hei Wentao, Sun Dapao, Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, Yang Sizhong, Zhang Yiming, Qin Liangyu, Li Zicheng,

Ma Xianglin, as fierce as a tiger, as powerful as a tiger, etc., had great merits, but those who did not earn enough to become a marquis were all granted the title of earl. Those whose merits were smaller were granted the title of viscount or baron. A total of one hundred and eighty-eight titles were granted.

.....A very auspicious number!

And these 188 barons are all actually enfeoffed. The youngest baron also has 250 enfeoffed households and a noble estate with 25,000 acres of arable land...a total of 110,800 households have been enfeoffed.

, 11.08 million acres of land, and the total amount of money, grain, and cloth given was 11.08 million!

What an unprecedented seal!

Of course, the population of 110,800 households is nothing... Now there are many poor people in Ming Dynasty who have no food! And by the 17th year of Chongzhen, the people of Ming Dynasty will have more and more people without food.

A lot! So Zhu Youjian didn’t feel bad at all if he awarded some to the meritorious officials (in fact, the meritorious officials recruited them themselves).

And more than 1.1 million acres of cultivable land are nothing to Zhu Youjian now. They are not mature fields within the Great Wall, but wasteland outside the mouth, which is worthless at all. And although those lands were occupied by the Ming army

Control, but the rule is not reliable. It is difficult for ordinary households to establish themselves when they move there. They may become the fat sheep of slave thieves and some Mongolian tribes who are not willing to graze honestly.

In order to relocate the military households, Zhu Youjian had already thought of many ways and spent a lot of money and food... But don't think that as long as you give out land for free these days, there will be poor and lower-middle peasants who are crying.

If you are willing to rush over to farm and fight at the same time, you are dreaming! It is now the Little Ice Age, droughts are everywhere, the climate in the north is extremely cold, and the land that was conquered by the Ming army is not very stable, and there is no ability.

, or if immigrants who are not well organized and armed move there, they will basically be killed by the barbarians.

As for a well-organized and well-equipped armed immigrant gang...the operating costs are high, and management is also difficult. It would be good if they can break even after a few years of opening, but making a profit is simply a dream!

Therefore, civilians will not go there at all. Only military household groups organized by the state or military household groups organized by military aristocrats will go to such places to engage in armed immigration. What they value is not the gains in money and food. What they want

It's a blood tax!

The state's ability to manage military households has been fully proven through more than two hundred years of practice in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Zhu Youjian had to rely on Xun Chen, Jiubian generals and the vassal prince's palace to manage military households...

Now Jiubian Jiangmen and Lao Xungui have worked very hard in the past few years to build many new thousand households in the border areas outside the mouth.

Now it’s up to the new rich to shoulder the heavy burden!

These 188 titles are just the beginning. According to Zhu Youjian's thoughts, he has to be given the title of 888 princes and uncles!

It's just that he couldn't afford so much money and food to "reward" the meritorious officials below, and he was embarrassed to let them stick to their merits and become the meritorious officials... After all, not everyone is as good at making money as Zheng Zhilong and Zhu Cihong.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian had to move money and food from the treasury to supplement the heroes in the name of rewards...

After the 188 knights were awarded, a reward was given to the soldiers who participated in the war, and a large pension was given to the soldiers who were killed or seriously injured. Finally, there was a warehouse to store money and food, but it was empty again - two

With tens of millions going out like this, of course the treasury is empty!

And the food stored in the two life-saving warehouses in Nanyang and Xiangyang could not be moved... In the first month of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian's money was tight again.

You have been the emperor for eight and a half years, why are you still so poor? How could your traitor back then be so rich? You can never spend all your money, so how come you can’t use it anymore when it comes to you?

In the Wansheng Hall, Zhu Youjian had just finished listening to the report of Ziyan crying for poverty. He was hoping that his traitor would grow up quickly so that his father could "nibble on him" when the eunuch guarding outside the Wansheng Hall started to yell.

.

"Your Majesty, please see me!"

Hearing this, the elders who were having a small meeting with Zhu Youjian were stunned.

What is going on? We are discussing national affairs here. What is the queen doing here? Does she want the harem to be involved in politics?

"Xuan!"

Zhu Youjian said the word "Xuan", and then explained: "The noble concubine is here today to discuss with you the enfeoffment of thousands of households in Mongolia. It is a rule of the Ming Dynasty that the harem does not interfere in politics, not a rule of Mongolia.

...On the Mongolian side, the concubines are asked to help manage Ordo. Together with Uyuta from Nenhorqin, I now have six Mongolian noble concubines, and they all own Ordo."

Zhu Youjian is now the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and the Great Khan of Mongolia... This does not mean that Ming Dynasty annexed Mongolia, but that Ming Dynasty and Mongolia have become a co-king alliance through Zhu Youjian.

Mongolia still maintains its own system and does not accept the management of the Ming Dynasty - in fact, it cannot be controlled. Setting up counties in Mongolia will make Bi Ziyan vomit blood.

According to the Mongolian system, the basis of Zhu Youjian's rule in Mongolia is the six powerful concubines Ordo...and the eldest concubine Wu Liangha is the first of the six Ordo concubines!

Wearing a gorgeous Mongolian robe, Wu Liangha walked into the hall quickly, holding an account book in his hand. He knelt down respectfully in front of Zhu Youjian and then handed the account book to him with both hands: "Tian Khan, 107

The household registration books of the Mongolian tribes and ten thousand households are here, please take a look."

"Okay," Zhu Youjian took the account book and said to Wu Liangha while flipping through it, "Ping Shen."

Wu Liangha then stood up, stood in front of Zhu Youjian with a smile, and said: "Excluding the Eight Banners of Jin Mongolia and the Eight Banners of Zhaowuda League, Monan, Mobei, Dongdao, Qinghai Mongolian tribes, a total of 107

There are about 250,000 nomadic households in each tribe and 10,000 households, of which more than 50,000 households belong to the six Ordos of Tian Khan, and the remaining 200,000 households belong to 101 large and small tribes."

The total of 101 large and small tribes only has 200,000 households, with a population of more than 1 million...it is really scattered into sand! Although the Mongolian enfeoffment system boosted the speed of expansion when they were strong, once

Weakness makes oneself become a piece of loose sand, making it difficult to unite.

Zhu Youjian nodded, closed the account book, and said: "This won't work. We have to organize it into 250 thousand households and 25 10,000 households... We will occupy 70,000 households. You can take 20,000 households each."

Household, the remaining concubines can each have one!"

Wu Liangha thought for a while and said: "Long live my Lord, what about the ten thousand households in Chahar? Do you want..."

"Also give Ezhe two ten thousand households, let's call it Chahar's ten thousand households!" Zhu Youjian said with a smile, "The Orkhon River Basin has always been the center of the Mobei grassland. It can't be suppressed without some strength...

...Let Ezhe stay there permanently! I also want to occupy a large pasture there, build a palace, and have six Ordos take turns to go out of the town. In addition, the big Ordo belongs to me too, so you can send your hand
