The increase in three salaries caused the people of the Daming Empire to complain, and eventually became the fuse for the overthrow of the Daming.

After Chongzhen's thoughts were clear, a smile appeared on his face.

After the abolition of the three salaries, the third step is to train his own soldiers and horses.

At that time, Lao Tzu will clean you up one by one.

Let your cabinet limit Lao Tzu's imperial power, and Lao Tzu will not clean you up, is it worthy of the ancestors of Daming?

Chongzhen muttered inwardly as he walked to the palace where he worked.

As soon as I entered the office, I saw that the case was full of twists and turns.

Instantly, memories emerged.

Before myself, I worked eight hours a day.

Nima, this work intensity, even if you don't hang on the crooked neck tree, I am afraid that you will be exhausted to death.

Chongzhen sighed inwardly while picking up the fold.

Nima!

It is now the tenth year of Chongzhen, and the Qing army will enter the customs next year.

Yes, in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Lu Xiangsheng wanted to die in battle?

As soon as he thought of this, Chongzhen was a little nervous.

It says that the Kingdom of Goryeo has surrendered to Jiannu Eight Banners.

This is already in February.

It's the fifth day of March.

Seeing the twists and turns, Chongzhen felt very unhappy in his heart.

Mother, if you train a powerful new army, you won't be by Jiannu Eight Banners riding on your neck.

Chongzhen continued to recall the history he knew.

Oops.

The ninth day of April.

Pip Island is finishing the calf.

Chongzhen was in turmoil.

Now the most urgent task at the moment is to first distribute the arrears and the salaries and money from various localities to stabilize the hearts of the military and the people.

"Wang Chengen, quickly summon the ministers and discuss the affairs in the palace. "

Wang Chengen did not dare to snub, and arranged for the eunuchs to go and gather the ministers.

The ministers received instructions and one by one had to put on their freshly changed imperial uniforms again.

On the way, the ministers in the carriage opened the curtain and greeted each other.

"Lord Shoufu, what's going on today, isn't it a dispersal dynasty?", asked the abbot Zhou Kui curiously.

Shoufu Wen Tiren shook his head blankly.

"Master Guozhu, the old minister is also confused!"

Other ministers also came to the palace one after another.

On the palace, Chongzhen had already sat on the dragon chair.

Looking at the incoming minister.

Shoufu Wen Tiren, recorded in history as a traitor.

In fact, this person is not a traitor, because he offended the Donglin Party and was slandered by the Donglin Party.

This person was resolutely opposed to the three salaries and was attacked and impeached many times by the Donglin Party.

The big man of the Donglin party, Qian Qianyi, also came.

The Donglin party and businessmen, and even the traitors and Jin merchants are inextricably linked.

They almost dominated the voice of the imperial court.

Even Shoufu Wen Tiren was a little jealous of the Donglin party members of the imperial court.

Seeing that the ministers had all arrived, Chongzhen lightly tapped the gauntlet of the dragon chair.

"Dear Aiqing, I heard that the imperial court has been in arrears with money and money for three years, what is going on?"

Ministers, you look at me, I look at you.

Some ministers have already begun to mumble in their hearts.

"I guessed correctly, Your Majesty must be out of money. "

"Let us ministers raise donations!"

"What a shame!"

The ministers muttered and discussed quietly, and Chongzhen once again tapped the handguard of the chair.

"If I ask you, are you deaf or dumb?"

Since being able to copy silver, Chongzhen's confidence has been a lot.

The ministers instantly quieted down, and their faces were very ugly.

They were worried that Chongzhen would ask them again to raise donations.

This Chongzhen has only been in power for ten years, and he has already raised donations three times.

Although it is not a big donation, even the smallest mosquitoes are meat.

Ministers who have a relationship with merchants and clans are okay, at least they have extra money.

Not only did he not receive the money for three years, but he also got at least 100 taels of silver every time he raised a donation.

They can't join those individual merchants in bending the law for personal gain, embezzling and cheating.

The loyal general was very embarrassed, and he donated the least, but was hated by the emperor.

And those who donate more, on the contrary, are more greedy, and in the end, because they donate more, they are very valued by the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the minister really has no money, the 100 taels of silver donated by Chongzhen in the eighth year is still borrowed, and now he owes 60 taels of silver with interest alone!"

The other ministers stared at Li Banghua with nonchalant eyes.

This Li Banghua's rectification of the Beijing camp has already touched the interests of many ministers in the entire capital.

Now it's just time to completely bring him down and let him get out of the Beijing camp.

Inside the Beijing camp, there are places where the children of nobles and ministers practice.

The ministers ate the empty salary of the Beijing camp, which was enough to have 60,000 or 70,000 places.

The payment of money in all places can be stopped, and the salary and silver in this Beijing camp have never stopped.

All the ministers who had intricate relations with the Jingying, as long as they could get a quota of empty salaries, the extra income reached thousands of taels of silver a year.

"Your Majesty, this guy Li Banghua is not worried about the monarch, he should be degraded and expelled from the Jingshi division!"

Chongzhen had a black line on his face, and when he crossed over a month ago, he let Li Banghua recover as soon as possible.

Now that less than a month has passed, how has Li Banghua become the target of everyone?

It seems that this Beijing camp has indeed been infiltrated into a sieve by meritorious nobles and ministers.

If the Beijing battalion is full, it will be at least 200,000 troops.

If it was to be restored to the strongest time of the Yongle Emperor, the Jingying camp would reach as many as 720,000 people.

Today, there are 120,000 registered soldiers in the Beijing Battalion, but the actual strength is less than 50,000, most of them are old, weak, sick, disabled, and meritorious noble children, and there is no combat effectiveness at all.

This is also why in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng's troops captured the Jing Division without bloodshed.

Thinking of this, Chongzhen's heart was dripping blood.

The first step is to pay in full, and the second step is to abolish the three pay.

The third step is to rebuild the Beijing camp.

Thinking of this, Chongzhen felt a little better in his heart.

"It's all quiet!"

"I'm not here today to raise donations!"

Not a fundraiser?

Your Majesty, what kind of idea is this?

Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, some can't believe their ears.

"I have decided that all the money and money owed for three years will be paid in full in March!"

What?

Paid in full?

The ministers were shocked, and their eyes widened one by one.

"Your Majesty, are you getting rich?"

"This house owes a full 12 million taels of silver to Lilu and silver, should we wait for this year's tax revenue to be released before releasing a part?"

After Chongzhen finished speaking, he got up from the dragon chair.

"I said, in March this year, I will distribute all the money and money I owe

!"

"That's it!"
