In the next few days, Xiao Sheng would take a few younger brothers and sisters out to shop, clothes, toys, snacks, and whatever he liked.

Even the little girl Qiqi, who has always hated Xiao Sheng's face, called her brother sweetly.

Sure enough, money can bring happiness.

From the New Year to the thirty, in a few days, Xiao Sheng spent 300,000 yuan on these younger brothers and sisters, as well as cousins. Each of them spent a lot of money on two famous brands.

The price of happiness is not cheap.

During this period, several elders spoke up many times to stop him, but Xiao Sheng returned it with one sentence.

"My own brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters, I pamper."

He knew that his family was worried that they would raise the spirit of these younger generations and would not be able to adapt to ordinary life in the future.

But this time, Xiao Sheng still had to do this, otherwise his thoughts would be unreliable and he would feel very uncomfortable.

I clearly have the ability, so why can't I do whatever I want?

On the evening of the 30th, after watching the Spring Festival Gala with his family, Xiao Sheng returned to his room to rest, but opened the time and space door and called Zhu Youjian, Zhou Ying and Zhang Yan, who had been waiting for a long time.

It was already the second half of the night on their side, but the three of them were still energetic. Zhu Youjian said, "Brother, turn on the TV quickly and let me see what the Spring Festival Gala is."

"Speak quietly." Xiao Sheng said with a glaring at him.

I originally planned to wait two days before he let them see when he returned to the city.

However, Zhu Youjian said that if it wasn't for the thirty night, it would be meaningless.

Later, Empress Zhou and Zhang Yan also expressed their urgent feelings, and Xiao Sheng reluctantly agreed.

Fortunately, the sound insulation of this room is good. Even if the TV is on loud, no one will hear it outside.

When he heard Xiao Sheng scolding, Zhu Youjian immediately covered his mouth and said that he knew.

Then, the four people began to watch the replay.

Xiao Sheng was also helpless because he was at home. In case his parents were scared by these people, he could only accompany them and could not fall asleep.

Although this Spring Festival Gala was not very shocking in Xiao Sheng's opinion, Zhu Youjian and others were very moved.

"If one day I could see a Spring Festival Gala of this scale held in the Ming Dynasty, I feel that this emperor would be worthy of it." Zhu Youjian sighed.

Xiao Sheng smiled and said, "There will be a day when you are only eighteen years old after the New Year. You still have a lot of time to work hard. Don't sigh, it has a bad meaning."

"Brother is right. Husband, I believe you can." Queen Zhou looked at Zhu Youjian and said seriously.

At the beginning of the new year, the first year of Chongzhen came, and a great era of turbulence was coming.

In December, Yongweiying completed the work of clearing out the rioters and bandits in the northern Zhili area, and during the process, it also cracked down on some local tyrants who were unkind and unkind and in the Yuru Township.

On December 29, an eight-lane main road leading from the capital to Taiyuan, Shanxi was finally completed.

This cement road, named "Beijing-Taiwan Highway", costs a lot, but at the same time it also utilizes a large number of refugees and disaster victims and converts them into productivity.

In fact, this is essentially a method of labor-for-relief.

The commodity economy was very developed in the late Ming Dynasty. In many places, farmers abandoned their land and went to work in the city.

Because they found that farming was exploited too much, and the money they earned from working was much more than what they obtained from farming and selling grain.

After the implementation of the "One Whip Law", although a lot of taxes were added to the court at that time, the hidden dangers remained.

Farmers can abandon their land to work and pay taxes, and when working to earn more money, a large amount of land will be idle.

In addition, the famine came, which directly caused the food crisis in the late Ming Dynasty.

A large number of people have no food to eat.

The demise of the Ming Dynasty was by no means caused by a certain factor.

However, under the existing bureaucratic political system, neither Zhu Youjian nor Xiao Sheng could allow the food on the land of Ming Dynasty to feed all the people.

Therefore, they not only cannot curb farmers from abandoning wasteland into the city, but also need to increase efforts to build industry and try to make more people have jobs.

Improve the overall wealth and then use a lot of money to buy food from neighboring countries.

Faced with huge wealth, those in other countries will be willing to send food voluntarily, and the food obtained in this way is much more than Zhu Youjian and Xiao Sheng’s current efforts to promote agriculture.

Of course, this does not mean that they have given up their control over agriculture. On the contrary, using industry to obtain wealth is to promote the rapid development of agriculture.

Even one of the purposes of the bandit suppression in December was to eliminate the uneasy elements in Northern Zhili, so that the land could be better allocated and agricultural activities could be carried out.

When Xiao Sheng first entered the court, he presented some high-yield grain seeds. So far, the first batch has been harvested. The grain obtained is not for food, but for seeds to be planted again.

But those seeds alone are not enough, and he specially got a lot of seeds from modern times.

Nowadays, although Northern Zhili has not experienced a severe drought like Shaanxi, it is not easy for both northern regions.

Xiao Sheng had already thought of forming a professional water source survey team and using advanced well drilling machines to build water wells, but this also takes time and it is useless to be anxious.

It can only be done step by step, and it also requires money.

The first cement road was successfully built, and Xiao Sheng and Zhu Youjian could make a fortune.

The eight major Shanxi merchants in Shanxi were all tyrants who were tyrants and were not willing to die. They owned a lot of wealth. If they destroyed their families, they would definitely get a considerable amount of silver.

In the original history, Huang Taiji entered the pass in the second year of Chongzhen, and there must be such a group of people in it. Moreover, a lot of supplies and other supplies may have been supported.

At present, Xiao Sheng has temporarily stabilized the relationship between Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty through trade, but the Later Jin army was in full swing, and Mongolia was already vulnerable and would definitely not be able to withstand it for long.

You must be prepared to fight.

The first thing to do is to eliminate internal worries and eliminate these scum who stabbed the knife in the back.

During this period, Xiao Sheng had obtained a detailed description of their private armed defensive power through trade with the eight major Shanxi merchants, and also mastered the ironclad evidence that these people were engaging in enemies and treasoning the country.

Just wait for the road to be clear, then we will step on the land of Jin and slaughter the eight major Jin merchants.

At this time, 30,000 light cavalry had already seen blood and had a certain combat power, while 20,000 infantry had already possessed the professional qualities of guns and cannons to fight together.

So, at the beginning of the year, Zhu Youjian ordered a 50,000 army to enter Shanxi to suppress bandits, nominally preventing the Tiandao Army from invading the capital. However, before leaving, Zhu Youjian secretly summoned Zhou Yuji and Sun Yingyuan and gave them a copy of the information to read.

After only seeing it for less than half, Zhou Yuji was so angry that his veins bulged, and he said gritted his teeth: "These businessmen should be cut into pieces!"
