Sun Chuanting, who served as the governor of the three sides as a cabinet minister, the first thing he did when he entered Xi'an Mansion was not to pick up Feng Yan, but to show his Shang Fang sword to many local officials on the street.
"The court came under the emperor's order to do all the civil and military affairs on the three sides."
Sun Chuanting, who became an important minister of the imperial court at a young age, was at the peak of his high spirits. "My colleagues, Sun is the one who has made ugly remarks. Anyone who dares to disobey and disobey orders will do so. Sun knows you, but not the Shangfang sword in Sun's hand!"
"
No matter how much the local civil and military officials denounced him, no one dared to test the sharpness of Shang Fang's sword in person.
But when it came to the reception banquet, Governor Hu Tingyan was the first to attack.
"Sir Governor, bandits are rampant in the land on three sides, and the people have no food and clothing due to years of severe drought. I wonder what arrangements your Lord Governor has?"
Historically, when Sun Chuanting entered Shaanxi, the court and the emperor gave him nothing except a letter of appointment.
He himself recruited refugees to work in the fields, building up strength bit by bit.
Now, Li Yunze has given him super support.
In addition to being the elder of the pavilion, the governors of the three sides rewarded Shang Fang with a sword, and he also selected a thousand sergeants from the Beijing Camp and the Royal Horse Prison as his personal soldiers.
In addition, one million taels of silver and eight hundred thousand shi of grain were also allocated for him to take with him to Shaanxi.
There is great righteousness, there are soldiers and horses, and there is money and food.
Sun Chuanting's waist was very straight.
"A lot of land on the three sides has been abandoned, and these lands have been used for farming."
Sun Chuanting calmly described his arrangement, "At the same time, we will recruit refugees to work in the fields and select brave men to join the army. This will not only enhance our strength, but also reduce the power of the rogue bandits."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar all around.
There are many abandoned fields on the three sides, but most of them have been occupied.
After all, in this era, land is the most important asset.
Now that Sun Chuanting is about to take over the land as soon as he comes, it is foreseeable that there will be a big disturbance.
Sun Chuanting, who was in a high position, smiled and said nothing. He already knew what was going on here.
Do you really think Li Yunze gave him the Shang Fang Sword just to boost his reputation?
Before leaving Beijing, Li Yunze set a target for Sun Chuanting, how many local civil and military targets he had to kill within the specified time!
"A bunch of idiots who don't know they are about to die."
Li Yunze regarded all officials of the Ming Dynasty as insects, and he would never let them go if they committed crimes.
"Long Zai wants to build a new army and has given Shaanxi a quota of 8,000 people. This matter must be completed as soon as possible." Sun Chuanting thought for a while and said, "Long Zai specifically asked us to recruit from among the postmen first."
Speaking of postmen, the most famous postman in history is Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang.
Chongzhen in history will be tricked by the Donglin Party into dismantling all the post stations in a few months, releasing this fierce tiger.
When he arrived at Li Yunze's place, he did not directly arrange personnel to kill Li Zicheng, but chose to give him a chance to serve the imperial court.
Since he dares to use traitors, what does it matter if he uses traitors?
Of course, the matters assigned by the emperor must be handled as soon as possible. In order to curry favor with the emperor, the local civil and military officials in Shaanxi simply packed all the postmen from various places into the quota.
Thousands more brave men were recruited to form a staff of 8,000.
Li Zicheng was still living his small life in Yinchuanyi, but he was packed up by his whole family and went on the road together, inexplicably following a huge team to the capital.
Li Yunze, who regards all officials as insects, is checking another huge amount of income.
The Tongzhou grain case has also been closed, and those involved in it sold their products and vomited blood to pay fines.
Because there was really no way to raise so much money in a hurry, they looked for connections and entrusted it to the Empress Dowager Zhang Yan.
In the end, Zhang Yan came forward to put in a good word and gained face from Li Yunze, allowing the nobles to pay the fine with food.
Of course, in terms of food prices, Li Yunze directly gave a low price of seven hundred yuan per stone.
Now the money and grain have arrived.
Gold, eleven thousand seven hundred and fifty taels.
Silver, 9,643,300 taels.
Food, 4.82 million shi.
Gold is naturally included in internal funds, and will be exchanged for supplies in the modern world.
As for the silver and grain, Li Yunze directly took them out and transported them to various places in Jiubian to repay the arrears of food over the years, so that the soldiers everywhere could have a good year.
Don't think that this money and food are a lot. In fact, it is not enough to make up for it, and there is still a huge gap.
Since the decay of the garrison, the Ming Dynasty's military power has turned to the recruitment system, that is, the camp army.
Camp soldiers are recruited soldiers, and the cost is much higher than that of garrison soldiers.
A Jiubian sergeant has an annual salary of twelve taels of silver, twelve shi of grain, and in addition salt, cloth and other supplies.
For the cavalry, the food is doubled and they can receive three liters of beans every day.
Moreover, the standards of Jiubian are also different. For example, the monthly salary here in Liaodong is as much as two taels, and the guest troops transferred into Liaodong from various places are as high as three taels per month.
This is only the food and salary for Jiubian, not counting the many health clinics throughout the Ming Dynasty.
Since the twenty-sixth year of Wanli, the imperial court has been in arrears with payments.
With such arrears year after year, although there are repayments during the period, the hole must be getting bigger and bigger.
Li Yunze gave all the food and salary squeezed out from the nobles to Jiubian, which was only a partial supplement.
And he knew very well that with so much food and salary, not much could actually fall into the hands of the sergeants.
There were so many people reaching out from top to bottom. Even if he sent Dongchang Jinyi Guards to strictly guard it, most of it would be destroyed.
Li Yunze regards all officials as insects and noble officials as useless materials.
But he was very cautious when dealing with the generals and generals in the army.
The soldiers of these people only listen to the generals. If they go directly, it will definitely cause chaos.
They are not something Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei can handle. These generals have sword handles in their hands.
Because of this, even Li Yunze, before all his preparations were completed, could only hold his nose and admit it.
Li Yunze, who was angry, urged to speed up the formation of the new army.
The new army was divided into two armies, named Hu, Ben and Longxiang, each with five battalions and each battalion had 3,000 soldiers.
The combined strength of the two armies is as high as 30,000.
The sergeants are all strong men recruited from various places, especially the disaster-stricken areas. Priority is given to recruiting those with families.
Military pay is so high that one person can support a family.
The leader of Huben is Zhao Lijiao, and his deputy is Lu Xiangsheng.
The leader of Longxiang is Cao Wenzhao, and his deputy is Cao Bianjiao.
As for Mangui, Li Yunze sent him to the grassland to recruit local herdsmen to buy horses and form a cavalry regiment upon his return.
Each sergeant of the New Army was given a settling-in allowance of five taels of silver, and a monthly salary of two taels of silver, one stone of grain, two catties of salt, and one piece of cloth.
With such good treatment, the sergeants who joined the new army were very satisfied.
Outside Chaoyang Gate, there is a village belonging to the Huben Army.
"Jin'er, open the door!"
Li Zicheng's joyful shouts came from outside the door. His mother-in-law Han Jin'er hurriedly ran out and opened the door, "What's wrong?"
When I opened the door, I saw Li Zicheng striding in with half a fan of pork on his shoulder, a jar of wine in one hand, and a piece of cloth in the other.
Han Jin'er stepped forward to pick up the things full of surprise, "Why are there so many things?"
"anything else!"
Li Zicheng shouted angrily, turned around and went out to pick up his nephew Li Guo.
Li Guo was pushing a cart, which was piled with bags of grain, bags of coal, and bags of salt.
"So many." Han Jin'er was already smiling from ear to ear.
"These are all the New Year's gifts from Long Live." Li Guo helped carry the food, salt and coal into the house. "Aunt, I'm going over first."
"Let's go after dinner." Han Jin'er greeted warmly.
"I haven't received my New Year's reward yet." Li Guo went out with a smile on his face and headed straight for the military camp.
"A piece of cloth, a jar of wine, half a fan of pork, two stones of grain, two pounds of salt and two hundred pounds of coal."
Smiling, Li Zicheng rubbed his hands and walked into the house. He picked up the iron kettle distributed to every household in the New Army and poured a cup of hot water. "When we were in Shaanxi, we never thought that being a soldier would give us so many good things."
Han Jin'er walked over to Li Zicheng simply and extended his hand to Li Zicheng, "Long live for sure I will give you some money."
Li Zicheng's face froze, and then he took out two taels of silver from his arms with a smile, "Look at you, I didn't take it out because I wanted to give you a hairpin."
Putting away the money quickly, Han Jin'er turned around to pack his things, "Don't think I don't know, you and the guys you're reporting are playing around with money all day long."
Li Zicheng, who wanted to hide his private money, quickly changed the subject, "Remember to ask someone to help mix the coal with yellow mud and make it into briquettes. The family will rely on this for the winter."
"The people in the capital are smart. The coal is mixed with yellow mud and pressed out in iron cylinders. It can withstand burning and not choke. No one in Shaanxi knows how to do this."
"This is all because the Holy Emperor is here."
Li Zicheng arched his hands toward the palace, "We can live a good life thanks to the Holy Emperor. I heard that these kettles, heated Kangs, honeycomb briquettes, etc. were all made by the Holy Emperor."
"Yes, long live the Holy Emperor." Han Jin'er began to cut the pork. "It's rare for you to take a break. Today I will fry you two meat dishes and drink."
The Holy Emperor, to whom Li Zicheng was grateful, was having a family banquet in the palace at this time.
Zhu Youjian, who was replaced by Li Yunze, did not leave any heirs.
As for the girls around her, in addition to Queen Zhou, there are also Tian and Yuan.
In addition, Wei Zhongxian gave away three girls before, as well as the emperor's sister-in-law Zhang Yan, and this is the emperor's family.
The earth dragon burning in the hall was very warm, but Li Yunze was scratching his head a little.
Because except for Zhang Yan and Queen Zhou, all the girls looked at him with resentful eyes.
After he ascended the throne, he was busy killing Jiu Qiansui, and then left the capital and went to Tianjin Wei.
I finally came back, but I was busy with official duties all day long.
Even if he went back to the back, he would always go to Queen Zhou.
Those girls cannot receive the sweet rain, so of course they will feel resentful.
Li Yunze has always been very calm when it comes to treating girls.
The motto he adheres to is: don't take the initiative, don't refuse, don't wear a cough.
Now that I'm being stared at by girls, I'm naturally annoyed.
Zhang Yan, who had already noticed this, looked at the aggrieved Queen Zhou.
The helpless Empress Zhou had to show her magnanimity as a queen: "Long live my sisters, I pray for you day and night. Your heart is commendable, and I hope you will be blessed by the rain and dew."
