Zhu Cilang didn't know what the consequences of Huang Taiji's blood pressure rise after taking it. What he knew was that news came from the capital.

The official commendation of Emperor Chongzhen praised the mighty and domineering nature of the Liaodong soldiers and the merits of the Hu Ben Army. Hong Chengchou's merits and demerits were compared, and the heroes of the Qi family army have been eternal. However, Zhu Cilang was not praised.

As a child, he can easily expand if he praises too much. After all, Emperor Chongzhen is still uncertain whether his eccentric son is an unshuangshi or a rebellious son of the Ming Dynasty. Because some of Zhu Cilang's strange ideas always seem so unrealistic in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen.

But at the critical moment, when problems cannot be solved, Emperor Chongzhen always hopes his son in the end.

For example, this time, Emperor Chongzhen's official name praised the Liaodong soldiers. He saw through Huang Taiji's conspiracy and protected the Guanning Jin defense line. This military significance is of great significance.

At the same time, he expressed his condolences to the soldiers who died in battle in the Qi family army. He stopped working for three days and comforted the families of the fallen soldiers.

But later, what made Hong Chengchou feel guilty was that many soldiers who fell into the Qi family's army could not even find their families. The loyal soul and iron bones were buried outside the pass. These soldiers of the Qi family's army were worthy of the Chinese men!

This time, Emperor Chongzhen encountered problems that could not be solved again. Although some reform measures were taken, such as collecting commercial taxes from merchants in Beijing, Sun Chuanting, in Shaanxi, also started to fight against local tyrants and divide the land. Although it almost caused chaos in Shaanxi, many financial problems were finally solved.

However, it is unrealistic to see huge results in a short period of time. Although the commercial tax in the capital relieved the pressure on the treasury, it was limited to the military expenditure of the three major camps in the capital. There were more places to spend money in the Ming Dynasty.

Once upon a time, Zhu Cilang also boasted about the military pay of the Liaodong soldiers. Since they said it, they had to do what they said. Otherwise, if they lost their credibility, who would still work hard for the court?

The problem is that the national treasury is still in short supply. This time Liaodong won a big victory, so the court must say it. There are 230,000 Ming troops going back and forth to mobilize, so military pay, food and grass are all problems.

This is not a few dozen or hundreds of people, but a Ming army of more than 200,000. How much money and grain will be spent when the army moves? These must be supported by the national treasury.

If the money from the treasury is taken from the people and used by the people, you have to have a place to get it. The taxes are constantly reduced in the disaster area, and there are only a few provinces that can collect taxes. Even the wealthy Jiangnan is a little overwhelmed. Not to mention other provinces.

Without money, it is still the biggest stumbling block in front of the Ming Dynasty. If you have money, you can provide disaster relief, if you have money, you can fight, if you have money, you can be safe, and if you have money, you can be in chaos.

The military pay he originally planned to give Liaodong next month might have to be temporarily suspended. Emperor Chongzhen did not tell this matter in the official imperial edict, nor did he inform the governor of Ji Liao, Hong Chengchou. Instead, he quietly sent a secret letter to his son Zhu Cixuan.

Perhaps Emperor Chongzhen was thinking, maybe there was a way to solve this rebellious son. This was purely a desperate attempt to seek medical treatment. Zhu Cilang was not a money printing machine, so where did he get the money?

However, when Zhu Cixuan saw his father's secret letter, he was furious and almost tore it out. No money? At the beginning, my palace swears in front of the Liaodong soldiers, saying that the court would never owe the Liaodong soldiers a penny of military pay in the future.

Now, if you say you don’t give me, you won’t give me. You are shameless, but I am still shameless. From now on, who will dare to believe me in Liaodong?

Later, although Emperor Chongzhen expressed a little apology, if the military pay was only one month, it would be compensated the next month.

But Zhu Cilang has seen such official perfunctory articles many times. He said that it was the next month, but he didn't know it was the year of the Monkey and Horse. Moreover, once this opening was opened, he would enter the vicious cycle of owing wages again.

Zhu Cilang could no longer bear it: "Isn't it enough to remember to eat or beat him? The lesson I taught last time was not enough. What did the father want to do? He had to watch the Ming Dynasty fallen to peace of mind. He had to watch Jiannu enter the pass, so he was fine. Jun Wuxin, how can he rule the world!"

A prince dared to say such disobedient words, which was fatal. Moreover, Zhu Cixuan said this in front of many people.

These people include generals from the Huben Camp and more than a dozen leaders of the Eastern Palace Guard. Li Yan and Song Xiance are also here, and they have already arrived from Shanhaiguan to the Jinzhou front line.

In front of so many people, Zhu Cixuan's words undoubtedly caused an earthquake.

"Your Highness..." Everyone was immediately frightened. Although what Zhu Cilang said was not unreasonable, he would not be afraid of disaster if he arranged the emperor. You are the prince, just a prince.

It is true that the prince is one step away from the throne, but even this step is a deep abyss.

Li Yan coughed lightly: "Your Highness, the imperial court also has difficulties. At the moment, I should think about how to appease the soldiers in Liaodong. If I only delayed the military pay for one month, I think the soldiers would understand."

Everyone said: "Yes, yes, Your Highness, it's only one month. The military pay will be paid together next month, and the soldiers will not say anything."

"I have been owed half a year in military pay, so I don't need to take it seriously for a month's military pay."

Everyone comforted each other, as Li Yan said, the court also had difficulties with the court. But Zhu Cilang didn't think so, the court's credibility must be maintained. Since he said that he would not owe money, he should do what he said, otherwise he would dig his own grave.

The famous Tacitus Trap, what Tacitus said when evaluating a Roman emperor: Once the emperor becomes the object of hatred, the good and bad things he does will also arouse people's disgust towards him.

It seems that arrears of military pay for a month is a small matter, but it is a big matter for the soldiers in Liaodong. When a court loses its credibility, whether it tells the truth or lies, whether it does good or bad things, it will be considered to be lies or bad things.

Money, money, endless money. Not only the military pay for the Liaodong soldiers, but the military pay for the Tiger Ben Army and the Eastern Palace Guards also had to be resolved. Before, Zhu Cixuan also arrested corrupt officials in the capital to open a business tax and broke up the east wall to make up for the west wall. But in this Liaodong, where can there be corrupt officials?

Wait, there is!

Zhu Cilang's eyes lit up, and a lot of small money appeared in front of him. Yes, isn't there a piece of big fat meat in front of him? Eat it in one bite, let alone the mere Liaodong military pay, you can still make a fortune.

Isn’t there a local rich man in Zhangjiakou, Fan Yongdou, who is making a fortune in the country, who is making a fortune in the country. Why did he almost forget him? This is a fat guy.

Anyway, this guy has no use value anymore, and those trucks of poison have been transported to the Qing Dynasty. Now, it is a good opportunity to use him to perform surgery.
