What Emperor Chongzhen did not expect was that Bi Ziyan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, came to him to complain. He said that the money was spent like flowing water recently, and the military pay in various places alone had been spent about 6 million taels. Now that the new army is established, the cost is very large. He has to train every day, provide food supply, and the full amount of military pay. There must be a monthly budget allocation, as well as the reserve funds to be allocated after the reform of weapons and equipment, the feed of war horses, etc., these expenses are very large. The Ministry of Revenue did not have much money at first, and he was afraid that he would lose money again in a blink of an eye.

At first, Emperor Chongzhen explained to him that all the money was necessary. Later, Emperor Chongzhen realized that this guy was worried that he would think that the quota of about 5,000 new troops would be too small and would be added later, so he came to get a vaccination.

Logically speaking, in this era, there were indeed a little fewer troops. However, Bi Ziyan obviously had too much thought. Emperor Chongzhen himself knew that it was unrealistic to start with the large-scale training of the new army. He, the general leader of the Ming Dynasty, was more concerned about money than Bi Ziyan, an outside leader. Although there were searches for Shanxi merchants, the development of the Ming Dynasty was the king. At the moment, the imperial court did not have much money to train enough new army. The principles of the new army were better than those of many but ordinary, and few and elite.

"Bi Qing, don't worry!" Emperor Chongzhen smiled and promised to his treasurer, "In terms of the new army, it is the establishment of a division. At least before the new army achieves results, I will not add it. In addition, as long as I go through this first year, cement and banking will make profits. At that time, each department will have some money and can also reduce your pressure. I will also find another opportunity to fill the national treasury. Please watch!"

After receiving the emperor's guarantee, Bi Ziyan felt a little relieved. He had no idea that the good things that ruined the emperor and the queen, so he patted his butt and left!

Seeing that no one disturbed him anymore, Emperor Chongzhen relaxed himself and re-entered the chat group.

He looked at the lower left corner of the chat group and the achievement value was 11,324, which was not as many as imagined. Emperor Chongzhen thought about it for a moment and realized that part of the reason was that some of these new army soldiers had contributed the achievement value before the New Year.

Don’t worry about it for now, add people! Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and clicked “Add people”, consumed the achievement value, popped up the add people button, and the turntable started to rotate.

The pointer stopped and showed that the first one was an eleven-year-old boy. This made Emperor Chongzhen hesitate for a moment. What's the use of such a person? Just a little brat! Should I spend the achievement value and add it to the group?

He thought about this and his eyes looked at the achievement value of more than 10,000 in the lower left corner. After thinking about it, he was not afraid. He had more achievements and didn't care about the achievement value of 50 or 100. It was useless, so he just kicked it back. So he added this person.

The second one was a man who was almost thirty years old. In fact, Emperor Chongzhen immediately spent the money to increase his achievement value without saying a word.

The third one is a woman in her early twenties, the fourth one is a man in his fifties, and the fifth one finally has another red and green person. According to experience, he is a eunuch.

...

Emperor Chongzhen did not care about the 30-21st time and continued to add people until the achievement value was only about 2,000 left to spare, and then stopped adding people.

The system prompts to enter people kept ringing, causing the chat in the group to temporarily stop.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the names of the newly added members and found that there were more weird names this time. For example, Shui Shangpiao, this ID could tell at a glance that it was nicknamed, and it also brought the aura of the rivers and lakes. This also reminded Emperor Chongzhen of Wu Ergou, who was almost imprisoned in prison, so it was time to use him.

The child who was a little hesitant to add, was named Zhang Dingguo. This name was so grand. Dingguo, haha...

The ID of the woman in her early twenties is Hai Lanzhu. I don’t know what it has to do with Hai Dafu, but it doesn’t seem like a Han name.

The man in his fifties, whose ID is called Sihailou Bookshunter. This is really true. He told him about his career and location at once, but I wonder if this is considered an advertisement?

...

After browsing around, Emperor Chongzhen greeted: "I am the group leader, newcomers join the group, welcome everyone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuanjiao bubbling: "Welcome to the newcomer!"

Ruhua bubbling: "Welcome to the newcomer!"

Liu followed up: "Welcome to the newcomer!"

“…”

All members who knew the identity of the group leader responded immediately. Suddenly, the screen was filled with welcome newcomers. This also led those who did not know the identity of Emperor Chongzhen to follow the "Welcome newcomers!"

If these newcomers knew that the people who had just welcomed them were the emperor, then the chief minister of the cabinet, the commander of the Jinyiwei, the eunuch in charge of the seal, and other groups of people like this were welcomed, I wonder if it would be scared? Emperor Chongzhen thought maliciously.

But he was satisfied with the effect. After finishing the welcome speech, Haoge was about to speak: "Haha..."

A little later, Qian Fugui followed suit: "Haha..."

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he did not hesitate and immediately stopped talking, and then said, "Two pigs, don't pay attention to them."

Then he said, "Newcomers join the group, please introduce themselves first! Anyone who comes first can do it."

Or the welcome just now is good. After a little quiet in the group, the Sihailou Bookmaker replied first: "Hello group leader, brothers and sisters, parents of food and clothing... Uh, everyone is here for lunch! I am a bookmaker in Sihailou, Yangzhou. If you have time, come to Sihailou. I have a thin face and can get you a discount from the shopkeeper. There is a more exciting legend waiting for you to listen to. It is absolutely wonderful! If you are not satisfied, you will smash this sign! If it is not to fit your appetite, just choose it. I will say too much. Maybe everyone doesn't know that in Yangzhou, I only listen to books at Sihailou. There is no other reason. It's really wonderful. Dear readers, if you don't believe it..."

"..." Emperor Chongzhen was speechless. This guy really took the opportunity to advertise. But it seemed that he couldn't say anything about him, after all, this was also introducing himself.

He still has patience, but someone is out of patience. The avatar of the floating ID on the water trembles: "Get out, I'll talk nonsense. Do you believe it or not, I'll go over and smash your place?"

As soon as his words appeared, they were suddenly flooded with short sentences.

"I..."

“Huh…”

"I know these two words..."

"Hey, I have known a few of them, and I have known them too, ah..."

"Zhang Dingguo, haha, I know my own name too..."

“…”

Emperor Chongzhen was speechless and knew that he shouldn't have added a little brat. However, he had already added it, so he gave Zhang Dingguo a ban and asked him to calm down before talking.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Dingguo's words reminded other newcomers intermittently. They also tried to speak, and then found that they knew the words they had written.

Therefore, the chat group was completely unable to watch, and the screen was flooded very quickly!

Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but to spend the achievement value and used a great ban on verbal art. The whole ban on verbalism. Now the whole world was purified.
Chapter completed!
