Zhou Zheng could feel the various gazes of the government, cold, indifferent, calm, playful and so on.
He raised his hand to Tianqi and said loudly: "The minister has three unknowns."
Apocalypse said'Oh', like an accident, and said, "Say."
Some people frowned, and Li Hengbing even turned his head to look at Zhou Zheng.
Hu Qingzheng lowered his head, breathing suddenly became a little short, and quietly shrank his neck.
If the courtiers looked over with Ruowu, many people cast a stern warning.
Zhou Zheng raised his hand and said: "I don't know why the situation in Liaodong is so corrupted? My lords are going to abandon the entire Liaodong and retreat to Shanhaiguan? If the spirit of Taizu Chengzu in the sky knows, how should he look?"
This sentence immediately aroused many people's anger, and he turned around sharply to scold Zhou Zheng.
"Listen to Zhou Qing." Tianqi was expressionless and waved his hand faintly.
There was a flow of coldness in the hall, and many adults in front began to turn their heads and looked at Zhou Zheng indifferently.
"I don't know, the adults in the hall know the situation in Liaodong well, and all kinds of problems are so rare. Why has the situation in Liaodong not changed in the slightest from the first year of the Apocalypse to the present? On the contrary, it has worsened? And the minister proposed a reform. On the contrary, it has become a target of public criticism. If you want to get rid of it and then hurry up, the minister is puzzled."
There was more air-conditioning in the hall, and Zhou Zheng even felt a suffocating aura. The expressions of some people in front were indifferent, and their eyes flashed.
Li Hengbing looked at Zhou Zheng with no expression on his face, his eyes mocking.
Hu Qingzheng secretly wiped his sweat, quietly raised his head and glanced in front of him and then quickly lowered.
Tianqi is far away from Zhou Zheng, unable to see his expression clearly, sitting still, and saying for a moment: "Go on."
Zhou Zheng raised his hand and said: "I don't know, all the lords repeat the words of the emptiness of the treasury and the impotence of the imperial court. According to the ministers, in Wanli ten years, the treasury earned 28 million shi, and Wanli earned 1,900 in the 40 years. Wanshi, and last year, the national treasury earned 6 million shi every year. The minister does not know where the lost tax and grain went? How did it go? Will it still be lost? If it's another three to five years, how much will be left?"
Zhou Zheng's three questions are all critical issues, and these adults are unwilling to mention and delve into it. Because it is too complicated, it involves all kinds of rights struggles, and countless people and things are involved.
For a while, no one spoke in the hall.
Tianqi sat high, looked at Zhou Zheng, and searched in the hall again.
For a while, he saw no one talking, and said, "Shang Shu of the Ministry of War."
Wang Yongguang, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, has just made his official appointment. The new Shangshu of the Ministry of War is Feng Jiahui. This Shangshu has just succeeded for only a month and has already written a letter asking for his resignation. Because he recommended Gaodi, Gaodi flees in a battle in Ningyuan. Now Just in prison, I don't know how many people are impeaching Feng Jiahui.
Feng Jiahui stepped out, holding the slab, and said, "Your Majesty, the situation in Liaodong is complicated, and it's hard to say a word. Please consider the long-term plan."
Tianqi glanced at him indifferently, and said, "Hube Shangshu."
Guo Yunhou, the Shangshu from the Ministry of Households, went out, holding the slab, and said, "Your Majesty, there are many reasons for the emptiness of the treasury. First, natural disasters continue, second, taxation and lawlessness have increased, and thirdly, fire consumption has increased. In the past four times, our country has been eventful, and its usefulness has increased. , This formed the emptiness of the treasury, not the drain as Zhou Yushi said."
As Zhou Zheng listened, he glanced at Guo Yunhou, and none of what this person said was critical.
Although the problem Guo Yunhou said did exist, the fundamental problem was the wanton encroachment of the people's fields by the gentry, and the officials' hands and hands, and layered exploitation. The loss of the national treasury has been lost to the hands of these gentry class!
Just like this Guo Shangshu, who has fertile fields in his family, and the average prince can't match it!
Tianqi looked at Guo Yunhou and said, "How much can it be recovered?"
Guo Yunhou hesitated for a while, and said, "My Majesty, if you handle it properly, you can still recover more than 200,000 yuan."
The losses are millions of losses, and the recovery can only be one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand.
Tianqi seemed unhappy, glanced at Guo Yunhou, turned to look at Huang Liji, and said, "Shoufu, what do you think?"
Huang Liji went out and said, "Your Majesty, whether it is Liaodong or the Treasury, the situation is complicated. It will not be finalized in a short while, and the ministers are invited to discuss it in detail, and they will play it another day."
Tianqi looked at Huang Liji in silence for a long time.
Huang Liji held the board wat and lowered his head.
The atmosphere in the hall became quieter, and the ministers were reluctant to talk about this. Some people know that they can't go into it, and they can't go into it. Some are aware, but they will be affected if they are studied deeply. More people are sitting on the sidelines and watching the excitement.
Zhou Zheng was still standing in the palace, as if he had been out of the picture.
Several of his questions are those adults who are reluctant to discuss and mention, and now he raises them, enough to silence their mouths.
Tianqi was obviously angry, but he didn't break out. He was silent for a while and looked at Zhou Zheng calmly and said: "Since all the princes feel that Zhou Qing's words are reasonable, then this is the end of the matter. Supervision Yushi has the right to participate in politics. Don’t attack at will, and don’t make up-and-coming continuous blows. It’s endless, as if the king is above nothing..."
How could Li Hengbing let Zhou Zheng go so easily? Before the apocalypse was finished, he stepped out, raised his hand, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Li Hengbing, the Minister of Zhejiang Provincial Supervisory Officer, has something to play."
Tianqi knew that Li Hengbing was the one who argued with Zhou Zheng last time, and he also remembers the memorial that Li Hengbing impeached Zhou Zheng. His expression suddenly became a little playful, and he glanced at some people and said, "Say."
Li Hengbing had no expression on his face and said in a stern tone, "Your Majesty, no matter how reasonable Zhou Yushi is saying, I still have to stand in front of my eyes. Right now, Liaoxi is no longer able to defend, not to mention that there is no danger for the big and small Linghe. Away from Shanhaiguan, even Ningyuan and Jinzhou are just small cities. Once they are besieged, they will be isolated and helpless. Even if they cannot be attacked for a while, thieves and slaves will inevitably break through the siege for months. If the court does not demand to defend, the minister fears that Shanhaiguan will also suffer. Involvement, threatening the community, the gain is not worth the loss."
There was a buzzing sound in the court hall. Although the situation in Liaodong had changed because Yuan Chonghuan defended Ning Yuan, no one in the Ming court thought that Yuan Chonghuan could hold the second time.
The loss of Ning Yuan seemed to be only a matter of time.
Rather than wasting countless money and food into the bottomless pit of Liaodong, it is better to retreat to Shanhaiguan, save worry and effort, in order to plan for the future.
This is the opinion of many people in the ruling and opposition parties, and it seems to be taken for granted.
Zhou Zheng immediately raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Shanhaiguan is indeed a rare Xiongguan in the world, and the ministers also think that it can stop Jianluo, but if Jianluo bypassed Shanhaiguan and entered the customs, there will be no Liaoxi. The consequences will be disastrous!"
In the second year of Chongzhen, that is, the year after, Jianlu suddenly entered the block from Xifengkou and surrounded the capital. The Forbidden City quake, and the transfer was Liaodong soldiers and horses rescue. If only Shanhaiguan is left, can you still dare to transfer troops
Moreover, if the slaves were to divide their forces to attack Shanhaiguan from behind, and attack from both sides, how could Shanhaiguan be able to defend it
If Shanhaiguan falls, Jianlu can go south at any time. Who dares to imagine such a situation
The depth of the Liaoxi Corridor is extremely important to Daming, and we must not lose it!
Li Hengbing snorted when he heard the words, and turned to look at Zhou Zhengdao: "Jianlu has no other way to enter the customs except Shanhaiguan. Could it be that they have to go by sea and enter the capital from Tianjinwei?"
Zhou Zheng looked directly at him and said, "From Shanhaiguan to Gansu, the nine-side important town, can you tell me that every part of them is as unbreakable as Shanhaiguan?"
Li Hengbing suddenly sneered and said: "I don't know what to say! To bypass Shanhaiguan, Jianlu had to detour thousands of miles and pass through the territory of Chahar, Mongolia. Are they crazy?"
The reason why Jianlu ventured into the customs in Chongzhen's second year was really compelling. Xiaobinghe was not only in Daming Pass. Liaodong was originally barren. Jianlu was originally a fishing and hunting nation. Now the country is founded, with a growing population, no production and no production. Outside, under the natural disaster, when it is about to collapse, what else can be done except to venture into the Da Ming looting madly
These Zhou Zheng naturally couldn't explain to Li Hengbing and Tianqi, and couldn't help but ponder. (End of this chapter)
