Great Ming National Teacher

Li Yunya recruited more than 3000 new troops, and transferred 2000 people from the military academy to serve as officers. The full name of the military academy is Daming Sixth Division Officer Academy, which specializes in training officers. Ten, start the devil training, according to the courses Li Yunya arranged for them back then, starting from the simplest distinguishing between left and right, standing at attention and aligning left and right, to stepping, running, and walking forward, it took a month for these alone, The originally chaotic mob began to look like a soldier.

While he was rectifying the Beijing camp, Zhu Youjian was also working hard for the disturbances of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youjian is a good boy with great ambitions. He is determined to carry forward the foundation of his ancestors and stand shoulder to shoulder with Taizu and Chengzu. However, this empire is already a mess in his hands. The bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty is completely corrupt. The collapse caused the treasury to be empty, and the internal money could not be spent.

Sun Chengzong of Liaodong, because the Ming army could not defeat Jiannu in field battles, adopted the method of fighting at every step and focusing on the enemy. He built a large number of cities in the western Liaoning area, one after another, and gradually moved forward from Shanhaiguan along the Bohai Bay. When the Eight Banners came, they hid in the In the city, relying on city defense fortifications to resist is a bit similar to the meaning of constantly repairing defensive towers in later games. It does reduce the living space of Houjin, but the logistics consumption is too large, it is simply a bottomless pit, and 80.00% of the national military salary is supplied to Liaodong , still stretched.

There are natural disasters in the northwest. Shaanxi, Shanxi, and even Henan, have droughts and floods year after year. If there is no drought or flood, locusts come. At the end of last year, there was an earthquake in Chengdu, Sichuan, and a hurricane landed on the southeast coast.

Now the northeast is a scar, the opening is getting bigger and bleeding more and more, and the northwest is an abscess, which is getting more and more swollen and worse. Li Yunya recommended Hong Chengchou and Zuo Liangyu to Zhu Youjian. At the beginning of the battle, he killed more than a dozen rebel leaders, but the common people could not survive, and there were more and more rebels. Zhu Youjian ordered Cao Wenzhao of the Liaodong Army to lead troops into the pass to suppress the rebellion. Fighting, the rebels have changed from more than 30 stocks to more than a dozen, but the total number has grown from tens of thousands to several 10, and they have all become giant bandits!

Money is used everywhere, and the money is spent like water, but the results are getting worse every day.

Zhu Youjian reduced the food in the harem again and again, and finally he only ate vegetarian food and did not eat meat. The twelve prisons in the palace all reduced their expenses, stopped buying new screens, beds, tables and cabinets, and even reduced the incense candles used at night. The crowns, robes, boots and socks of the emperor and concubines can be saved as much as possible, and even the clothes inside are patched, and they dare not walk fast to prevent the pudding from being exposed.

Zhu Youjian naively thought that as long as he sets an example, the ministers will be united with his monarch and ministers, and they will be able to overcome this difficulty, and the Ming Dynasty will eventually get better and better!

However, the reality is cruel. The Gyeonggi area was ravaged and plundered by Jiannu last year, and countless families were destroyed. They all needed money from the government to deal with the aftermath, but the Ministry of Households had no money. Zhu Youjian could only pay for internal money, but the internal money was almost gone. The money is gone...Zhu Youjian looked at a memorial requesting an increase in the land tax, holding a pen in his hand, but he couldn't approve it no matter what.

He aspires to be a good emperor and a generation of Mingjun. After he came to power, he overthrew Wei Zhongxian and punished corrupt officials and traitors. But after he ascended the throne, he increased the land tax twice. He has already increased a lot, and now he has to increase it. The people are already suffering... In fact, Zhu Youjian doesn’t know how miserable the people are. He only knows that ordinary people are very poor. If you add talent once, they will be poorer, and if they are too poor, they will rebel.

But it doesn’t work if you don’t add taxes, money is needed everywhere, military pay can’t be in arrears, disaster relief money can’t be in short supply…

Zhu Youjian was sad for a long time, and finally sent the eunuch to find Li Yunya, and now only Yunya can help him.

When Li Yunya heard that Zhu Youjian was looking for him, he immediately put down what he was doing and rode over on the Zhaoye jade lion.

The two of them have been busy during this time, and they haven't seen each other for more than a month. This month, Li Yunya spent most of the time in the barracks to guide training and participate in the planning and construction of the new barracks. The soldier's aura has also become stronger, and he walks vigorously. On the contrary, Zhu Youjian is much thinner than before, and his complexion is pale. It is obvious that he has not been able to eat well or sleep well during this time, and his spirit Very haggard.

Li Yunya felt a little distressed: "No matter how hard the state affairs are, the emperor should take care of his own body." He took out a large bag of oatmeal, an enamel jar, poured oatmeal into it, and took out a thermos to add hot water. A large porcelain spoon was stirred and passed to Zhu Youjian, "Does the emperor still have two meals? He must be hungry at this time, drink some of this."

Zhu Youjian took the enamel jar, sniffed the milk fragrance in the oatmeal, was steamed, suddenly a sense of grievance welled up from the bottom of his heart, tears welled up in his eyes, he was afraid that Li Yunya would see the joke, so he pretended to wipe it off. Khan wiped two hands with his sleeve: "Yunya..."

"Don't be in a hurry to talk, you finish your cereal." Li Yunya saw tears flashing in his red eyes, and he didn't feel very uncomfortable, wondering if he should be better to Xiao Zanjian?

Zhu Youjian finished his oatmeal porridge silently, and gave the enamel jar to the little eunuch to wash. Li Yunya also gave the big bag of oatmeal to the little eunuch: "This is a nourishing thing, which can warm the stomach and fill the stomach. Between the two meals of the emperor, Or at night, you make him a cup." Come back and sit down, and ask, "Your Majesty is looking for me, what is the matter?"

Zhu Youjian handed over the memorial requesting to add Fu, Li Yunya looked at it twice, and put it on the table casually: "If you add Fu, there will be more rogues in the world."

"But what can we do if we don't add taxes? There is no money in the household department, and there is not enough money in the house, military salaries in Liaodong and Northwest, disaster relief money in various places, and..." Zhu Youjian said a lot, just hope Li Yunya offered to give the silver, but Li Yunya just didn't say anything, he was so anxious that he couldn't open his mouth, because he had agreed with Li Yunya at the beginning that Li Yunya's money would only be allocated to his own share, and now Li Yunya helped him raise it. The soldier who entered the Beijing camp was considered an exception, and it would be unreasonable for him to ask for money again, but he really had no choice, "Yun Ya, can you... um, can you lend me some money first? When the Autumn Fu is collected this year, I will make it up for you..." As he said this, he scolded himself for being useless in his heart.

Seeing his appearance, Li Yunya felt a little cute, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Borrow? How much do you plan to borrow? As far as I know, you don't have much money for autumn, right? This autumn, it would be nice to collect 100 million taels." If you don’t have enough to spend yourself, can you still pay back the money?”

Zhu Youjian's face turned red, and it was unprecedented for him to be the emperor. He became a little annoyed and angry: "You got at least 2000 million taels of silver from the eunuchs, and you gave me one or two million taels. How can it be?"

Li Yunya raised his eyebrows, and said with a sneer, "Your Majesty still remembers that I took 2000 million taels of silver from the eunuchs? But why don't you count how much I spent in the military academy in the past two years? Papermaking, book printing, steelmaking, etc. You don’t need to spend money? In the fight with Jiannu last winter, do you know how many bullets and shells I fired? How many taels of silver did I throw in Zuo’anmen and Yongdingmen? Now I’m raising it for you again More than 2 taels, does the emperor think that 2000 million taels is a lot? Shall I do the math for you?"

Zhu Youjian felt that he was in the wrong. In fact, Li Yunya had already done the calculation for him. Although it was not particularly detailed, the cost of going from the military academy to the industrial park, and then to the newly established eight primary schools in the city, two middle schools, and the Academia Sinica The amount of money in the war has exceeded 2000 million taels. Whether it is fighting a war or developing technology, it is a matter of burning money. The cost of each shell is more than ten taels of silver. The war last year was not so much about repelling the Eight Banners Army. It was refunded with silver, and Li Yunya worried about making money more than once. Zhu Youjian also knew about his money-making business, and he could barely support the expenses. Now there is another Beijing camp, Li Yunya I have to think of new ways to make money.

In fact, after saying that sentence, Zhu Youjian regretted it, and he drooped his head: "I...I..."

"You just want to ask me for money! You think I took 2000 million taels of silver from the eunuchs, and I am the biggest corrupt official in the Ming Dynasty!"

"I didn't!" Zhu Youjian quickly explained, "I have absolutely no intention of that!"

"That's what you think!" Li Yunya deliberately took advantage of the topic and stood up, "If you take out some of the magic weapons in my hand and sell them, it is enough for me to live a carefree life and enjoy all the glory and wealth. Running back and forth in and out of the city, farming, smelting, making cement, and printing... in the wind and rain, day and night, I wish I could break it into eight pieces and use it alone. What am I doing? I am What are you asking for? So many people in the world call me a traitor, a monster, the chief culprit of chaos and chaos, worse than Wei Zhongxian back then, but I don't care, I know you can understand me, just like what I said at the beginning, The two of us saved this riddled imperial court together and made him better, but now I feel that my thinking was wrong, and I was still suspected by you after all..."

The more Li Yunya spoke, the more excited he became, and the louder he spoke, Zhu Youjian felt even more aggrieved. Since he ascended the throne, he has always been ambitious, thinking that he can govern the Ming Dynasty well, but now he finds himself facing the chaotic political situation It is basically a state of powerlessness, full of ups and downs, and no one can help oneself.

In his heart, he always thinks that Li Yunya is a true immortal who has attained the Tao and regards the wealth and honor in the world as dung. Li Yunya will not marry a wife and have children, and he himself does not pursue enjoyment. Do it yourself, even if this kind of person has taken a mountain of gold and silver, what can he do?

He just felt that Li Yunya must have money in his hands, and hoped that Li Yunya would take some out to help him tide over the difficulties. He regretted the words as soon as he said them, and after being reprimanded by Li Yunya without any excuse, he finally broke down and cried bitterly, tears I couldn't hold back anymore and rushed out, "I really didn't doubt you, Yunya, I... I had no choice but to ask you for money... I have no choice..."

Seeing the emperor crying, Cao Huachun hurried in to persuade him, holding a handkerchief: "The emperor..."

Li Yunya stared: "Get out!"

Cao Huachun shivered in fright, the most powerful first eunuch beside the emperor was completely overwhelmed by Li Yunya, he didn't dare to pick up his handkerchief when he dropped it on the ground, and retreated outside in a desperate manner.

Li Yunya took Zhu Youjian's hand, looked him in the eyes and asked him, "Tell me, do you doubt me?"

Zhu Youjian choked up and said, "I didn't."

Li Yunya took out a tissue and wiped his tears for him: "It's fine if you don't doubt me, I know you are having a hard time, don't cry, as long as you can trust me, I will help you make the world a better place, no matter how big the storm is, it will be controlled by you." I will carry it for you!"

Zhu Youjian nodded: "I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid that Yunya will leave me, leave Daming, and go back to the sky." Zhu Youjian raised his head to look at Li Yunya with red eyes, "In these days, I have dreamed more than once that Yunya rides the wind and flies into the sky. It's getting farther and farther away, I want to catch it, but I can't catch it. Just now I thought Yunya was cold-hearted towards me and was going to leave."

Seeing his appearance, Li Yunya's heart softened completely. He grabbed Zhu Youjian's hand: "Zhu Youjian, listen, as long as you don't blame me first, I will never leave you."
