Chapter 83 Huaxia Tongbao (Part 2)
Chapter 83 Huaxia Tongbao (Chinese)
"Oh, this butcher Zhu, if he doesn't make a hole in the sky, I think he will never stop calming down," Compared with ordinary people, the gentry has more knowledge and can see "far" and feels more complicated about the three words Zhu Chongjiu.
The strength of the Huai'an army cannot be underestimated. Since the vast majority of gentry retreated from the south bank of the Yellow River, they have seen clearly that Zhu Chongjiu had already become the emperor. Many of them had to admit it with heartache, but it is difficult to ask them to give up their support for local "righteous soldiers" and Mongolian Daluhuachi, and quietly surrender to Zhu Chongjiu, but it is more difficult than killing them. The reason is very simple. Zhu Chongjiu is not just about money and land, but Zhu Chongjiu also took away the privileges that had lasted for thousands of years.
From the Song Dynasty to the heroes of the Yuan Dynasty to the emperor’s management of the four people in the Huai’an Army, the current four people were equal, and the literati and the officials violated the law and committed the same crimes as the people. The gap between this is probably even greater than that of the Lushan Waterfall, so no wonder the gentry in the world gritted their teeth when they mentioned Huaiyang.
But the butcher Zhu didn't know how to restrain himself. Recently, he actually indulged several of his subordinates and concocted a "Jingzhou Covenant" to openly open the war for the vendors. Now, a scoop of hot oil was poured on the fire. Suddenly, the north of the Yellow River and south of the Yangtze River, all the places under the control of the Yuan Dynasty were "excited". For half a month, there were hundreds of "righteous men" who stood up every day to advocate to help the government fight against the thieves and the people. Even in Luzhou, Bianliang, Hangzhou and other places controlled by the Red Turban Army, many famous scholars stood up and sweared to be irreconcilable to the Huai thieves.
However, no matter how angry the anger is, he will swear and dare to volunteer to lead troops to "strike" Zhu Chongjiu's heroes, but there are not many. Even the Yuan Dynasty court maintained absolute calmness for the rare support from the people. The Prime Minister of the dynasty Hama also publicly announced that he would slowly seek the Huai thieves, in order to wait for their "moment to decline" and achieve complete success in one battle.
As for when the good luck on Zhu Chongjiu's head could be moved elsewhere, Hama was vague. Anyway, it was impossible to let him lead the troops like the former Prime Minister Tutuo, or to let his younger brother Xuexue take the initiative to attack the 6th Corps of Huai'an in Weizhou.
"Ha Ma ruined the country!" Seeing that the court did not dare to take the lead in attacking Huai'an, after some contemplation, the public opinion immediately turned its finger on Prime Minister Ha Ma and the military generals holding military power.
"Hama connects to Huaihuai." "Xuexue colluded with Huai thieves." "Too-not-so-wave fears the enemy like a tiger." "Yuekuocha'er had already colluded with Huai thieves." In July, memorials from local areas flew to Dadu like snow, and in a blink of an eye it flooded the entire Secretariat, making Hama and others use all their strength, and could no longer stop some of them from reaching "Tianting".
The Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Tuohuan Timuer, recently practiced the secret method of Tibetan Buddhism and made a little progress. At a glance, he could see that most of the things written on these memorials were nonsense, but one of them was from the Sichuan Province, which forced him to bring Hamaxuan into the palace and verify it carefully, because the writer of the memorial was one of the few powerful generals under his command who still dared to take the initiative to fight against the Red Turban Army. The Prime Minister of the Sichuan Province replied to Yahatatulu.
"This is true. His 60,000 soldiers under his command were seriously insufficient in food and salary, so when he was fighting with the Wu thief Liang, the warriors under his command could only go on the battlefield hungry." He pushed the memorial in front of Hama, and Tuhuan Timur asked with a smile.
"This." Hama was slightly stunned when asked, and then realized that there were still Tuotuo's remnants hidden in the Secretariat. These guys were still secretly stumbling on him. "I can guarantee that since I took office, I have never deducted money and food from Sichuan provinces. So I am afraid there is something else in it when answering the report from Prime Minister Yahachitulu."
"Well, you mean, someone below actually hides our monarch and ministers from all over the country and secretly reaches out to the money and grain assigned to Dayahara." Unexpectedly, Hama is even more confused than himself. Tuohuan Timur frowned, and a few disappointments surged on his face.
So far, he is basically satisfied with the prime minister whom he personally promoted. At least since he replaced Tuotuo, the treasury that could already run away from mice has gradually improved. The various fees allocated to the royal family have also been guaranteed, so that he would not let himself, the Emperor of the Great Yuan, be hesitate to pay respect to the Buddha!
"I dare not shirk the blame, but I asked the answer to the money and grain of Yabatulu to order the three provinces of Yunnan, Shaanxi and Huguang to allocate them according to the nearby payment method, and then deduct them from the money and grain that the three provinces should pay to the court." Hama hesitated for a moment and added very honestly, "As far as I know, Shaanxi is still rainy this year, and most parts of Huguang have not been affected by the red scarf thieves. And because of the long journey, I have ordered the two provinces of Yunnan and Huguang to convert the money and grain that should have been transported to the court into gold and silver, and transfer them through Sichuan and Shaanxi. Invisibly, the two places can save a lot of fire and waste."
"Has the gold and silver that should be transferred to Dadu have been transported to those three places?" Tuohuan Timur continued to frown and dig into the bottom line.
"Report to Your Majesty, the unpaid parts of the owed money last year have been put into storage in May this year, but the first half of this year has not been shipped yet. There are all complaints from the three provinces, saying that the silver cart has been on the road. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be able to arrive in Dadu within two months."
"This is a bit strange." Tuohuan Timur could not draw a conclusion, so he started to turn around the desk and walked back and forth several steps.
If according to Hama's statement, Yahachituru should have enough money and food, so he would not have written this chapter to sue the emperor. Besides, he and Hama had no grudges in the past and had no grudges recently, and he was not a direct lineage of Tutuo. According to principles, he would not be forced to end his life, and there was no need to provoke trouble and make enemies for him.
"I am Lu Du, and I cannot answer your doubts for Your Majesty, but I think it is necessary for Your Majesty to summon Sang Gesli and ask about the market for rice and grain in Jingxiang." I dare not watch Tuhuan Timur anxious alone, Hama thought for a while and whispered to the point.
"But Sang Geshu, the son of Wang's slave, how could he know the market for rice and grain in Jingxiang?" Tuohuan Timur quickly stopped, turned around and asked in a low voice.
"It is indeed Your Majesty's Qie Sang Ge, Sang Ge," Hama nodded and responded in a low voice. In the "war" with the overthrow of the brothers Tuotuo, the Wang family's slaves and son made great contributions, so he also planned to repay the two at any time. "The Wang family is a prominent family in Sichuan and Shaanxi. There are many businessmen in the family, so they are very proficient in gold, mud, jade chips. The weak minister once took the civil examination for Sang Ge, Sang Ge, and everything he answered was a rare young talent."
"Well,." Tuohuan Timuer pondered in a low voice. From Hama's answer, it was not difficult for him to find traces of forming cliques and making personal gains. However, the experience of Sang Gesli having had Qinxue deeply touched him and made him decide to bet on his own luck for the time being.
"Well." Twist the sleeves gently, and Tuohuan Timur responded in a low voice, "Come here, Sang Ge, the son of the slave of the imperial concubine of the imperial concubine, entered the palace to see me, and said that I hadn't seen him for a long time and wanted to see what he would look like when he grew up."
"Yes." Park Buhua agreed and immediately sent someone to the outside of the palace to call someone. However, Tuohuan Timur thought about it and continued to say to Hama: "You mentioned the rice and grain market before, but you realized the problem, what is the current rice and grain market in Dadu City? You should report it according to the facts and don't make any fake things to whitewash the peace."
"Your Majesty," Hama immediately bowed and reported in a low voice, "As Your Majesty expected, in the past two months, the price of grain in the capital has soared nearly double. Therefore, I just speculated that the answer to Yahachitulu's complaint was because the various maps save trouble, and the transfer of gold and silver was also given to him, not food, grass, and supplies. If the prices of Jingxiang states soared, there would naturally be a huge gap in his expenses."
"What's going on? Is there another place to be affected?" Tuohuan Timur was startled and instinctively thought about the natural disaster.
"No." Hama shook his head vigorously, "Since the beginning of spring this year, all parts of the north have been in good weather. Weimin sent people to farm around Dadu, and the wheat harvest was higher than in previous years. Therefore, the families of officials can get more benefits in addition to their salary, so that people will not be panic because the grain prices in Dadu City rise."
This is his real political achievement, so he is extremely proud to say it. When Timur heard that all the officials had surplus grains, he nodded with a smile, "I'm thankful for you. Although I went to worship the sky every spring, I never thought about the land and farming. But you, unknowingly, solved a big problem for me."
"Since your Majesty regards me as your humerus, I should devote myself to it." Hama felt so excited that he bowed his body to respond.
No matter how many dirty things he had done before, at least after gaining real power, he did very well to his conscience. Not only did he always try his best to fill the financial holes of the Yuan Dynasty, but he also tried his best to reduce his dependence on various parts of the south in terms of food supply.
Therefore, although the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty lost two important grain-producing areas in Suzhou, Hangzhou and Shandong last year, there were no starvation in the capital. Some wealthy families even made a fortune by trying to change the pastures in the Secretariat to fertile fields.
"You are a person who is willing to do things with your heart, at least not like some people who always use big words to fool me." Satisfied with Hama's attitude, Tuhuan Timur continued to praise with a smile.
"I know that my talents are limited, so I dare not be arbitrary. I will leave the things that require experts to do so that I can live up to the entrusted by Your Majesty." Hama quickly responded to consolidate his good impression in the other party's eyes.
This is very well-informed. It not only follows the tone of Tohwa Temur, but also shows that he will not take the power as much as his ex.
When Tuohuan Timur heard this, he looked at Hama more and more and more. He smiled and praised loudly, "It's good that you can abide by your duty. I'm not a bad person, but others always deceive me too leniently, which ultimately forced me to take serious measures to eliminate it. As long as you abide by your duty, even if you lack talent, I can tolerate you. We both monarch and ministers will make a decision today. Just do your best to do things with your heart. I believe in you. Our monarch and ministers have a beginning and an end." This book was first published from 17K Novel Network, and you can read the genuine content as soon as possible!
