Thinking of this, Xue Guo became even more kind when he saw Zhang Dingguo's expression, and his attitude towards Zhang Xianzhong also changed. This surprised Zhang Xianzhong, and at the same time he was even more precious to his adopted son!

In his letter, the governor of Yansui, Hong Chengchou, reported that there would be about how many thieves would surrender and how much food shortage would be. After Xue Guoguan estimated in his heart, he began to patrol various places from south to north.

Whenever he arrived at a place, Xue Guoguan asked the Jinyiwei, who had taken the lead, to collect information about the local gentry, and roughly estimated how much surplus food the local gentry had, and then ordered donations. He first advised him to donate to the victims, which was actually donating to themselves. Otherwise, the victims would not have food, and the local gentry would suffer if they were in trouble.

If he doesn't listen to such a kind word, then he will send Zhang Xianzhong to bring up old debts with his subordinates. It can be said that in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the late Ming Dynasty, gentry arrears of taxes and corvee labor were the most common. Almost every gentry would arrears, and the taxes arrears accumulated every year would be a huge sum of money. According to past practice, these would end up in the end. This is also the reason why although the late Ming Dynasty was rich, the treasury income was very small.

It is difficult to recover such tax arrears by local gentry by local governments. But with Zhang Xianzhong and his subordinates, the situation is completely different. As Emperor Chongzhen expected, Zhang Xianzhong and his subordinates, no matter what the relationship between you, the gentry, have or what the face you have, they only listen to Xue Guoguan alone. Moreover, an army is not something that local gentry can compete with.

As for Xue Guoguan himself, in his original history, he dared to suggest that Emperor Chongzhen donate silver to the royal relatives and civil and military officials in the capital. Now, under the bottom line given by the emperor, how could he care whether the gentry in these places were dissatisfied?

Xue Guoguan did not treat them unfairly as obedient county governments. He would first dispatch surrendered thieves to organize large-scale projects, such as the construction of water conservancy, roads and bridges, and other rebellion.

Such incidents were naturally warmly welcomed by the local people. The only unhappy ones were the gentry who were chased and owed their taxes.

Of course, the gentry were unwilling to be collected like this, but they had no choice but to deal with Xue Guoguan, so they found someone to hand in the impeachment memorial to the capital. However, Xue Guoguan was an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, and it was not something that ordinary people could do. The most important thing is that the power of the court was in the court in Shanxi. It had already taken the turn once when the Shanxi merchants were liquidated, and there was basically no power.

Moreover, this action was actually the decision of the emperor and the cabinet. Under the premise that the problem of surrendering thieves must be solved, impeachment will naturally not be of use. Even Emperor Chongzhen issued an order that anyone who impeached Xue Guoguan must be recorded one by one, and then the impeachment memorial was transferred to Xue Guoguan himself for self-inspection. If it is a slander, at least the officials who impeached officials should not do it.

Such things may be difficult to carry out in other provinces. However, in Shanxi, they can be carried out vigorously. It has to be said that thieves and chaos have disadvantages, but they also have a side of exploitation.

Emperor Chongzhen felt much more at ease after receiving detailed reports from Zhang Dingguo in the chat group. At least in this way, there will be no problem with the resettlement of so many thieves for the time being. However, in the long run, there must be another way out. This way out is to seize the Hetao Plain and resettle the victims from Qin and Jin to the other side, which is the ultimate solution.

Emperor Chongzhen first put down the matter in Jin territory, and instead contacted Wei Mulan, asking her about the situation: "How is the situation there?"

It has been four days since Lu Xiangsheng personally led the 832 cavalry into the land of Liaodong. He was a little worried, so he often asked the previous question, and it was just a cost of consuming the achievement value anyway.

"Go back to Your Majesty, everything is fine." Wei Mulan immediately replied, "Liaodong is not like the capital. It is sparsely populated here and there are basically no people in the wild. Moreover, Lu Zhongcheng sent Jurchens to explore the way forward in Jianlu clothes. Even if they meet someone, they can avoid it. It's okay!"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen felt relieved and said, "Okay, how are you doing? Can you persevere?"

When Wei Mulan heard this, her heart suddenly felt warm. The emperor was caring for her, so she immediately replied: "I'm fine, I'm just riding a horse, and I don't have to fight. I'm used to it! Moreover, Lu Zhongcheng also takes good care of his subordinates, often having a rest, and not tired!"

Girls in their teens, if they were to be replaced by later generations, were still in school. Emperor Chongzhen sighed in his heart, and then he cared for and encouraged him a few more words.

"Your Majesty, at the current speed, it is about ten days away from Shenyang." Wei Mulan felt warm in her heart. She didn't want the emperor to worry anymore, so she reported to the truth.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen distracted his attention and immediately replied: "Okay, you should move forward carefully, I will try my best to provide you with detailed information."

Speaking of this, he immediately chatted with Qian Fugui privately and said, "I want to see how Chenyang is like. Go to the high place to take a panoramic view of Chenyang for me."

After saying that, he gave Qian Fugui a thousand achievements worth the past. When Qian Fugui heard this, he was delighted. He wanted to try this photo-taking function just like others, but he was very worried that he had no achievements worth the results. Therefore, he immediately agreed. However, he couldn't take photos immediately, and needed to find a suitable opportunity.

"I am very interested in Chenyang. If you take a good photo, I will give you more achievements and let you take more places. When there is a video function in the future, you will also try it out." Emperor Chongzhen continued to tempt.

Fresh things are unparalleled for those who see them for the first time. When Emperor Chongzhen was very young, TVs were popularized in the first time, and even when they were very rare to watch advertisements, he had a considerable experience.

Qian Fugui quickly agreed, and saw that the group leader had no other instructions, he quit the chat group and started to write again.

He used to be a businessman and could write a little bit. After entering the chat group, he recognized all the words, so writing was no longer a problem for him.

I saw that there were several large pieces written in front of him, all of which were briefly written, one, two, three, four, etc. If Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he would know the ones he wrote were the news about the domestic situation in the Ming Dynasty revealed by the chat in the group.

Qian Fugui put down his brush, looked at the letter papers with appreciation, and finally folded them up with a smile and stuffed them into the envelope. He is now becoming more and more powerful in Haoge's mansion, which is the reason: he wrote down the news in the group to Haoge. Although most of these news are daily chores, Haoge said that after reporting to Huang Taiji, he still received praise.

When Haoge is praised, he can be reused by Haoge. Therefore, what he fears most is that the group leader kicks him out of the group!
