I woke up and it was noon. Emperor Chongzhen immediately entered the chat group to learn about the situation.

At this time, the Baigan Army first rushed to Dai County, and then Hong Chengchou personally led the cavalry of the Yansui Army to Dai County, almost in the middle of the front and back. After the two armies merged, some cavalry were selected, led by Ma Xianglin, and continued to pursue the north along the official road.

The preliminary results have been counted. About 18,000 thieves were captured and more than 3,000 were killed or injured. Except for about 5,000 thieves who escaped into the forests on both sides of the official road, the rest of the thieves fled north along the official road. There was almost no loss on the side of the official army.

A great victory, a great victory!

Emperor Chongzhen was very happy and immediately sent an order to meet the cabinet Wenhua Hall to inform the news. When the cabinet ministers heard this, they were shocked. If others said such a record, no one would believe it, and it would definitely be because of the exaggerated results. But now it comes from the emperor's mouth, and you will have to believe it. For a moment, the ministers congratulated the emperor one after another, and the chaos in Jin was toiled!

However, Emperor Chongzhen was not overwhelmed by victory and said to the ministers below: "The disaster in the north is not conducive to disaster relief, so there is such a great chaos in the people. Although it can be pacified now, if the root cause is not solved and if you are not careful, this will still happen. Can you have any good ideas?"

This matter has actually been discussed before. It is to build water conservancy, buy grain from surrounding provinces, solve land annexation, especially the land occupied by the royal family, and plan for Hetao.

However, almost none of these things is easy. Just to build water conservancy, you need to have food. However, if you buy food from surrounding provinces, you probably consume more than half of it on the road.

After Wen Tiren hesitated for a while, he saw that the others had no suggestions, so he went out and said, "Your Majesty, you can assign some soldiers to Xue Fuchen, so that you can raise more food."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he glanced at him, understood it, and nodded immediately and said, "This is also a helpless act, so that's all."

Those gentry spoke kindly and reasoned to them, few people would take out food. Even if they gave them money, they would say that the landlords had no surplus food if they didn't have enough price. Since that was the case, they could only be polite and then soldiers, and let Xue Guoguan do it.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen thought of something again, and kept thinking about it in his heart, so he asked again: "The matter of opening the sea ban has been reported for a long time, but what feedback is there?"

Hearing this, Wen Tiren knew that the emperor was thinking about the tax and silver, so he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, so far, the cabinet has received six memorials, two of whom agree, and four of them oppose it, especially the Fujian Governor's opposition is even more intense, and he also said that He Shilang is old and stupid and cannot be trusted!"

These memorials were not submitted as soon as possible. Emperor Chongzhen told Wen Tiren to do the statistics first. When he heard this, he sneered. It seemed that he was the one who benefited the most and had the most fierce opposition.

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered: "Don't wait for anything else, submit all the memorials, I will look at them one by one!"

As for the capital, most of them were those who observed the words and expressions, and the court trend, and had already guessed the emperor's intentions. For them, the matter of opening the sea ban had little to do with them. Therefore, their reaction was that there was no place to entrust the border officials.

Now the auxiliary ministers and the six ministers in Wenhua Hall did not object directly after hearing this, but only emphasized that this matter was not very effective and had many difficulties. But the emperor and the prime minister insisted, so they would not say anything.

After the meeting, before Emperor Chongzhen had time to take a breath, an eunuch who was waiting outside the hall came to report to the emperor to see him.

As soon as he heard this, he probably guessed that he didn't sleep last night, which made the queen worried.

As expected, when Empress Zhou saw Emperor Chongzhen, she advised him to take care of the dragon's body and staying up late and the most harmful thing. She nagged for a long time before finally presenting a summary of the people's sentiments in the chat group.

Since the Achievement Reward was issued, the information summarized by these people's sentiments has been significantly increased several times. After reading it, Emperor Chongzhen frowned and couldn't help but whisper: "This Zhou Yanru knows to make some stupid things!"

After hearing this, Empress Zhou did not express her opinion. After he had read and thought about it, she spoke out: "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country and have a great relationship. It would be fine if you leave the palace and go to the Beijing camp. It is really worrying about the affairs of the people, Your Majesty..."

OK, the queen also knew about the last private visit. Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and interrupted: "Empress, because I am the king of a country, every word and action is of great importance, so I cannot stay in the palace all the time, just listen to what others say outside. If you don't go out for a walk and see how you know the truth or falsehood, Queen, do you think so?"

Seeing the queen's expression that she seemed to want to advise again, he immediately said first: "Just say that last time, if I didn't walk on my own, there would be no such thing as the copyright and patent office. Queen should not underestimate this, I can tell the queen about the importance of this..."

Empress Zhou was a serious and regular person, and everything was done according to the etiquette. This may be related to her personality and also to her as the queen. If you say something else, Empress Zhou might insist on her own opinion. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen started from the importance of state affairs and said a lot, as if he did not go to private visits, the country would be dissatisfied.

Although Empress Zhou knew that the matter was definitely not so serious, after such a brainwash, she finally nodded and recognized the private visit. However, she was always worried and repeatedly told the emperor to ensure safety.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw that his purpose was achieved, he naturally made a promise. With the support of the queen, the matter of private visits would be smoother. For example, the other party would be careful about the matters and safety exercises during the private visits, and they could do it in the palace. Otherwise, like the last time, if you go out for a trip, you would always worry about whether you would be too domineering and too eye-catching, and you would not see or hear anything.

Of course, there is another important reason why we insist on private visits on a covert basis. Emperor Chongzhen would not tell others. That is the issue of achievement value! Last time we went out, although not many people who contributed achievement value were watching, we couldn't resist hiding the emperor's identity, and everyone contributed great achievements!
