Text 387 [Sun Chuanting Going to be the County Magistrate of Taipei] (addition for Penguin boss)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Han was sitting at his desk, with a lady attendant standing beside him.

    The female officer is about thirty years old, with ordinary looks and body, without any special features.

    ?But Sun Chuanting, Cao Bianjiao, and Wang Tingchen all looked awkward.  They had all met the emperor before, and they were used to eunuchs standing next to the emperor, but it was especially uncomfortable for them to suddenly become women.

    "Meet Your Majesty!"

    The three of them raised their hands, as if they were about to kneel.

    Zhao Han said: "Exemption, this is not the grand ceremony, you can stand and bow."

    So the three of them bowed to each other and were quickly seated.

    Sun Chuanting couldn't help looking at Zhao Han. Although his appearance was very different, his temperament and style reminded him of Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty.

    Especially the enthronement ceremony two days ago, the content process has been spread to the people, it is simply a replica of Zhu Yuanzhang's proclaiming emperor.

    Except for worshiping the sacrificed soldiers and civilians, the other procedures are exactly the same.  Even moving benches in the open space to let civil and military officials sit down and listen to lectures was invented by Zhu Yuanzhang.

    Asked about the situation of the three of them, Zhao Han frowned and said, "So, Hong Chengchou was captured by the slaves?"

    "Should have been arrested." Cao Bianjiao replied.

    Sun Chuanting was quite surprised, shouldn't he pay attention to the imperial concubine and the prince?  Ask what Hong Chengchou is doing?

    Zhao Han asked again: "How many people are there in Beizhili? Has it ever reached the level of ten rooms and nine empties?"

    Sun Chuanting cupped his hands and said: "There are only three provinces in the north: Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Henan. Many prefectures and counties have ten houses and nine empties. Now I am afraid that Shandong will be added. As for Northern Zhili, it has not yet reached that point. Especially around Beijing, there are countless acres of rich and powerful fields.  There is no way to collect land taxes. Although the tenants attached to these lands have a hard life, they can barely survive."

    Sun Chuanting omitted to mention Huangzhuang. Many Huangzhuang were actually the private property of eunuchs, and those lands were also unable to collect taxes.

    In addition, many states and counties are empty, but not all states and counties are like this.

    Sun Chuanting came from a large family in Shanxi, which evolved from a family of generals to a family of imperial examinations. These big families will not starve to death because of the drought.

    Cao Bianjiao said: "Your Majesty, the great epidemic in Shandong makes it inconvenient to fight for the time being. You can march into Henan, and the prefectures and counties along the way will surely return to you. From Henan, cross the Yellow River and attack Beizhili directly. Taking advantage of the unsteady foothold of the slaves, we will drive them out of Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop!  "

    "Don't worry, we'll talk about it next year." Zhao Han smiled.

    There is no way to fight for the time being. Although the autumn harvest has been completed and Zhao Han has food and grass in his hands, he really cannot afford to fight a war.

    ?The route to fight Beijing through the barren Henan was too long, and the peasants probably ate more grain than the soldiers.

    Even if we really want to fight, we will transport troops and food from Jiangsu, and land directly in Tianjin by sea.

    It has to be done slowly, take Sichuan first, and then spare time to restore the people's strength of the provinces.

    Zhao Han said to Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen: "You have brought more than 300 cavalry from the north, which is considered meritorious service. If you want to continue to serve in the army, you can be a general with a hundred cavalry. If you want to live in peace, the whole family can divide the land in the countryside. I will reward you  One cattle per person."

    Cao Bianjiao couldn't laugh or cry, the emperor's reward is really interesting.

    Of course, the emperor of Ming Dynasty was similar. He often rewarded officials with two taels, four taels, and six taels of silver. Rewarding more than ten taels means that he has made great achievements.

    Wang Tingchen asked: "If you join the army, can your family share the land?"

    "Of course," Zhao Han said with a smile, "there is no land in the south to divide, and the land can only be divided in the north."

    Cao Bianjiao said: "My family members are all in Shanxi, I only hope to fight back as soon as possible, and I am willing to join the army to die for Your Majesty!"

    Wang Tingchen cupped his hands and said, "I am willing to serve Your Majesty!"

    "good!"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "I will appoint you as generals of a hundred cavalry, and immediately go to Runing and Xuzhou to assist in training knights."

    Although there is a cavalry establishment in Datong, and there is no shortage of horses for the time being, there is a shortage of experienced cavalry officers.

    Zhao Han said again: "Don't dislike the low position of a hundred generals. Li Dingguo under Zhang Xianzhong led tens of thousands of soldiers to surrender, and now he is only a hundred generals. As long as you make military exploits, I will definitely not treat you badly."

    Zhao Han became the emperor, and I still come and go.

    The emperor can call himself Zhen, but it is mainly used in formal occasions, and he usually calls himself I, Zan, and I in private.

    Zhu Di even claimed seven I in the same imperial decree: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, said: I am the west of the Han people Since my father, the emperor, the emperor Gao Now I have inherited the big seat I see this  Sorry"

    Arranged two generals,??Ask Aunt Zhu: "The princess is also studying?"

    Auntie Zhu replied, "I went to a girls' school."

    "That's good." Concubine Tian Gui finally felt relieved, since Zhao Han treated the former royal family kindly, her own young son is not in danger.

    Not long after, two court ladies came to the courtyard with food.

    Nowadays, there is not even a royal palace, and there are not many court ladies.  Said to be a court lady, more like a maid hired by Zhao Han, Xiyue was automatically promoted to the head of the palace maid.

    A court lady explained: "Your Majesty is accepting concubines today, and some old friends are reunited in the back house. You can have dinner here."

    Concubine Tian Gui said quickly: "Thank you two sisters, please congratulate Your Majesty on my behalf, and wish Your Majesty and the imperial concubine an early birth to a son."

    Watching the maid leave, Concubine Tian Gui felt a little sad.

    In Chongzhen's harem, she was the most beautiful and most favored, and even made Queen Zhou jealous many times.

    She is in the palace and can even hunt on horseback.

    From now on, I'm afraid I can only live in this small courtyard, but I don't know whether my son can live a normal life in the future.

    The sound of blowing, blowing and beating has already been heard outside. It seems that she is welcoming the imperial concubine, and I don't know which lucky woman it is.
