Chapter 442 Grain shortage
However, this disgust turned into shock when Liu Shimin finished promulgating the order.
Jingyang Palace actually lowered the East Factory and handed over it to Wen Zhao Pavilion.
This is an extraordinary event! Everyone knows that Dongchang is the sharpest knife in the hands of the emperor. Whether it is Donglin or political reform, they are the main force. Without Dongchang's bloody suppression, there would be no situation in the Ming Dynasty today!
But Zhu Xu actually reduced the power of the East Factory and distributed it to Wen Zhaoge!
Is this because Dongchang was particularly good at Jiangnan before? Or should he appease Jiangnan Shilin? Or did he just beat the sweet dates given by Queen Xin?
The Wen Zhao Pavilion officials were filled with countless thoughts, shocked and confused.
The emperor gave power to differentiate between the situation. For example, the East Factory handed over to Wen Zhaoge, but it did not make them happy at all.
Zhu Youjian was also suspicious in his heart, but it was a good thing to be able to control Wei Zhongxian, the executioner.
Thinking of this, he took the order slightly and stood up, looking at Liu Shimin and said, "It's a blessing for Eunuch Liu."
Liu Shimin admired Zhu Youjian quite well and bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I have a saying that I don't know whether to say it or not..."
Zhu Youjian was stunned and waved his hand behind him. After Jiang Dejing left, he said slightly tightly: "Please speak frankly."
Liu Shimin stepped closer and whispered: "After Lord Jiang left, the emperor whispered 'Cabinet'."
After Liu Shimin finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Zhu Youjian's face suddenly became darker when he improved slightly. He used to think that Zhu Xu had restored the cabinet because he was worried about the shortcomings of the imperial system, but now Zhu Xu wants to restore the cabinet, which makes him feel uncomfortable.
Wen Zhao Pavilion assumes the role of the cabinet. Although most of the power is deprived, it also has the name of "regent" and has a lot of power. If the cabinet is restored, the one with the greatest impact is Wen Zhao Pavilion and Zhu Youjian!
Zhu Youjian knew that Liu Shimin did not have the courage to convey such news to him without authorization, and it was probably because Jingyang Palace deliberately put pressure on him.
‘What the hell do I do…’
At this moment, Zhu Youjian felt extremely tired.
Shen/Yang.
Huang Taiji was sitting in a wheelchair and was teaching Bumubutai to write.
He was still as before, with a gentle face, a gentle expression, and a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he didn't care about anything and everything was in his control.
Bumubutai is a little beauty with a plump body, a cold expression, a cold face, a hot body, and a particularly tempting person.
BumuButai's pretty face turned slightly red, and Huang Taiji let her little hands hold her, writing stroke by stroke.
Not far away, Han people wearing third rank dynasty robes in the Ming Dynasty were standing respectfully.
After a while, Huang Taiji smiled and said, "Okay, let's practice this today and continue tomorrow."
Bumu Butai was very sensible and leaned towards Huang Taiji and left quietly.
Huang Taiji turned the wheelchair and came to Bao Chengxian. His lower body was completely useless, but fortunately his upper body was fully functional.
He looked at Bao Chengxian with a smile and said, "Mr. Bao, how did you do it?"
Bao Chengxian was one of the Han officials who surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty, and was considered a heavy use and was always responsible for the "cultivation" of the Later Jin Dynasty.
He was a slightly fat middle-aged man with a modest expression and round facial features. He listened to Huang Taiji's words and hugged his hands: "Don't worry, Da Khan, Jiergalang and Degeli Beile's help, the cabinet, six ministries, and all departments have been fully equipped, and I will wait for Da Khan to issue an edict."
Huang Taiji smiled with satisfaction and said, "This Khan fully trusts Mr. Mr. The Southerners have strictly blocked us, and they can't transport a piece of grain or private salt. In addition, there is a shortage of slaves and there is no enough food. What can I do?"
Bao Chengxian has been with Huang Taiji for a long time. He knows the nature of this khan. Since he asked this, he must have an idea in his heart.
However, he still thought about it: "Khan, there was a military farming method in the Ming Dynasty, which can be followed."
The Jin people only hunted but did not farm, not to mention that they were still thriving in the world two years ago and could not grab anything, so why do they need to farm?
Huang Taiji pondered, shook his head and said, "Distance water cannot relieve near thirst. Is there any other way?"
Bao Chengxian looked at Huang Taiji and hesitated: "I wonder if the Khan is concerned about the Ming Dynasty's news?"
Huang Taiji's expression remained unchanged and nodded, "Ben Khan knows that Lin Dan Khan has defected to the Ming Dynasty."
When Bao Chengxian saw that Huang Taiji seemed to have not noticed anything else, he said, "Khan, since Chahar can trade with the Ming Dynasty, we can quietly participate through other tribes and buy the food, private salt and other things we need."
Huang Taiji's eyes lit up, and then shook his head and said, "The Ming Dynasty was not a fool, I'm afraid it would be discovered for the first time."
Bao Chengxian smiled and raised his head and said, "Sweat, more than half of the cattle and sheep in the desert froze to death last year, this year the grass is dry and the water is exhausted, and the Mongolian tribes on the grassland are not better than us."
Huang Taiji came over and said, "You mean, other Mongolian tribes would also compete to trade with the Ming Dynasty in exchange for food and private salt?"
Bao Chengxian said, "Yes, those tribes are now sending envoys into the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Although the conditions of the Ming Dynasty are a bit harsh, they can be accepted. For the grassland tribes, in addition to their better reputation, it is not difficult to obtain benefits because they satisfy the desires and desires of the Ming Dynasty's Celestial Kingdom. Moreover, I guess that Chahar's benefits are not only those in the court newspaper."
Huang Taiji pondered, Bao Chengxian's words inspired him and made him worried. If the Ming Dynasty used this method to win over Monan Mongolia and Gu over, it would add a little danger to their Jin Kingdom.
But he has no ability to stop it now. The entire north is capable of fighting, only the Mongolian and ancient tribes.
"Korqin..." Huang Taiji murmured softly, then shook his head slightly. Korqin was not a small tribe. Even when he was the strongest in the Jin Dynasty, he could only win over through marriage and covenant, and could not be able to defeat him. What's more, it is a bit unrealistic to ask Korqin to send troops to conquer the south of the Moon and offend the Ming Dynasty with high prestige.
However, Kerr/Qin is also ambitious. He really has no unified Mongolia. He is the Khan position that day?
Huang Taiji was hesitant whether to send someone to Ke/Erqin to lobby.
Huang Taiji quickly suppressed his random thoughts and smiled and said, "Sir, continue talking."
Bao Chengxian looked at Huang Taiji and said with a slight expression: "We have also surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and we can also ask the court for mutual trade. It can also be mixed in the mutual trade between Mongolian and ancient tribes, and we can plan carefully."
The key to the problem is that the army of the Later Jin Dynasty could not get enough food. The Han slaves who could farm were either encouraged by Mao Wenlong and fled; or they were defeated last time and were returned to the Ming Dynasty, and no one could farm.
