If it were the old people in the capital, they would definitely feel that the weather was getting hotter and dryer.

It was early spring, and the heat was unbearable, and it was still uncomfortable to wear single clothes.

Outside the capital, a group of ragged middle-aged people gathered by the walls, looking at the warm sun, squinting their eyes, feeling very comfortable, but not at all sleepy.

"You have heard that the court wants to dredge the Yellow River and is preparing to recruit people..."

"No, I heard that this time it is huge, with thousands of miles, and requires hundreds of thousands of people..."

"If the wife of the family had to give birth again, I would have gone. I heard that I would have given a lot of money this time..."

"It depends on who it is. If it is the court, I'm afraid there are not many. If it is that business, it may be able to give a lot..."

"When it comes to this, I was at the dock last time and helped the Huiyun Ship to move the goods that I had been in the Huiyun Ship for a whole morning, and I earned fifty cents!"

"Do you know the Huimin Chamber of Commerce? Once they were short of people, so they asked me to dig sweet potatoes for them. After digging for a day, I gave me two hundred folks, and a lot of sweet potatoes. Alas, that thing has been eaten for half a month, saving a lot of money!"

"It's better to be in Beijing. There's more money and less life. I heard that many people starve to death outside."

"Well, I also heard that the Ministry of Revenue sent more than one million taels of silver to Shaanxi/Xiangxi to provide disaster relief, and the court was short of money. I heard that the princes and ministers had donated silver. In addition, the emperor took out a lot of things in the palace and sold..."

"The world is difficult. If you encounter a foolish monarch, it's fine, but you don't..."

"That's true. The world is like this, and you can't blame others."

"It's been a long way to go. Do you want to go about the Yellow River? If you go, find someone and go together to take care of it..."

"I have to look at it again. The Huitong Trading Bank posted a notice a few days ago, asking people to find people to open up land and farm, and pay 50 cents a day for food and accommodation. If you spend two months, you will get 50 taels of silver..."

"Well, there is another one, which is road construction. I heard that there is a shortage of people, but I may go a long way, so I give you sixty cents a day..."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. Let's take a look. The people from the Pingwang Mansion will come later. Be careful and make sure that you don't give it wrong. If you deduct the money, I won't plead for you."

"Haole."

"Don't worry, you can get familiar with it twice at once, you won't be wrong."

"That's right, we didn't know before that it was given to all princes and ministers..."

The man they called "Tao" wrapped in thick single clothes, his head was shrunk in his clothes, with only his two eyes exposed, and he muttered to himself, "I will definitely not be so cowardly here..."

The first year of Chongzhen, on the ninth day of the fourth month.

King Xin Zhu Youjian, as the Prime Minister, worked with the six ministries, headed by the Ministry of Revenue to form the "Temporary Office for Reclamation", with Qian Longxi as the Prime Minister and Fan Jingwen of Wen Zhao Pavilion as the main body, with 2.5 million taels of silver, and began a large-scale project of large-scale dredging, dredging and reclaiming wasteland with the Yangtze River, the Yellow River and the Grand Canal as the main line.

On the same day, Fu Changzong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, submitted a tax system change plan, and divided the Ming Dynasty tax into two parts: national tax and local tax, and planned to be trialled in the capital.

Xu Dahua, the Minister of Works, submitted a petition for Wen Zhao Pavilion to renovate and build a new official road on the grounds that the "official road" was disrespectful of his years of disrepair.

Zhou Yingqiu, Minister of Personnel, submitted a memorandum of the "Examination Method" was too serious and requested revision.

The Minister of Justice Ni Wenhuan reported that the bandits were getting worse and worse, so he asked officials stationed in the Ministry of Justice to assist in the inspection department in various places.

The Minister of Rites Zhang Wo continued to submit a memorial, Wang Shaohui, Minister of Dali Temple, and Yang Lian, the left censor of the Censorate...

With Zhu Youjian's cooperation, the Ming Dynasty aroused unprecedented enthusiasm, and issued an edict from Wen Zhao Pavilion, plus the seal of the rituals and supervisors, and the Ming Dynasty was issued to the world!

At this moment, a snow-white carrier pigeon flew into the palace.

A little eunuch took off the secret letter from its leg and ran into the Silijian. Not long after, he turned to Zhu Xu's desk.

Zhu Xu has been arranging matters for leaving Beijing these days. When he saw this secret letter, his expression was slightly dark.

This is the news received by the Jinyiwei from Liaodong, and the source is Li Sizhong himself, who is in Guang/Ningcheng.

Huang Taiji decided to attack Jinzhou in five days!

After reading it, Zhu Xu smiled and said, "Huang Taiji is really beautiful in this trick. After a while, many people in Liaodong will collapse."

Cao Huachun stood there with his expression still. But he knew in his heart that Zhu Xu's words were just pointing out. In the past, the military and civilians who had never been attacked by Jiannu, abandoned the city and fled, even guerrilla generals, deputy generals, and generals.

Zhu Xu looked at the secret letter and pondered for a long time, saying, "Transfer the order to Liaodong, and the orders must not be moved, especially when leaving the city to fight against Jiannu. If Mao Wenlong is allowed to bluff, he can do so, but the orders must not be attacked."

"Abide by the order." Cao Huachun said.

Zhu Xu took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Transfer the order to Cao Bianjiao, Man Gui, Liu Hua, and set off in two days!"

Cao Huachun had expected it, but he was not surprised and bowed and said, "Abide by the order."

The matter of the imperial commander-in-chief is still a secret on a large scale, so even if you leave Beijing, you still need a secret.

This matter has been prepared for a long time. Cao Bianjiao led 1,000 imperial guards, 3,000 firearms, 3,000 cavalrymen in Guizhou, 3,000 borrowed from Mongolia, and 30,000 chariots and cavalry in Jingdong Camp, a total of 40,000 troops.

This is still a strict organization, including the Silijian, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Li Jieyu and others, and there are hundreds of people.

It was night, Cining Palace.

"Bring this dress, it's cold in Liaodong."

"You also bring this with you what you like. Do you want to bring a few imperial chefs?"

"Don't leave anyone around you, Cao Bianjiao is still young, I think I'm relieved to be Cao Wenzhao by your side."

"By the way, you promise me that you will only stay in Shanhaiguan..."

Zhu Xu hugged Xiao Yongning, stood on his legs, teasing him. The little guy could speak, and shouted vaguely: "Uncle Emperor, Uncle Emperor...be good..."

Zhu Xu felt that Empress Dowager Zhang looked very much like her son’s mother who was about to go out. She was worried about this and was worried about that, and she was nagging endlessly.

He had no choice but to nod and respond patiently.

As Empress Dowager Zhang said, maybe she noticed it herself, sighed, looking at Zhu Xu, still worried, "You, you have never left this capital since you were a child, and you ran to such a dangerous place all at once, and I can't feel at ease."

Zhu Xu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, if you think so, Xiao Yongning will grow up soon. She wants to get married. If her husband's family treats her badly, she secretly beats her and scolds her, doesn't give her food or drink, and even lets her work..."

Empress Dowager Zhang felt even more annoyed when she heard this. She hugged Xiao Yongning from his hand, frowned and said angrily: "You are getting more and more angry now. Okay, it's too late, leave quickly..."

Zhu Xu smashed his mouth. He told the truth, it was completely possible...

He was driven out of Cining Palace and Zhu Xu went to the place where Concubine Liu was lying.

Concubine Liu is not like Empress Dowager Zhang. She smiled and held Zhu Xu's hand and said, "Since Emperor Xuanzong, Wuzong has led his troops to fight. The old woman is very pleased that the emperor has such a bold spirit..."

Zhu Xu curled his lips secretly, I'm afraid there is still some, but it's hard to mention it, right?

Zhu Xu couldn't answer this sentence, so he had to laugh.

Concubine Liu looked at Zhu Xu's expression and smiled and said, "The old lady tells the emperor another thing."

Zhu Xu was stunned. Concubine Liu was approaching his ear and whispered, and immediately his eyes widened.

Concubine Liu smiled and seemed to have said nothing, and asked with concern: "How is the emperor's appetite recently?"
