Yang He was actually a traditional scholar. He had the good virtue of being gentle, respectful, and modest. Moreover, he also believed that as long as he treated the people sincerely, the people would treat him sincerely.
Therefore, he had always wanted to appease the people and not intensify the conflict.
It had to be said that this was a very safe plan.
If the logistics could keep up, Yang He's method was good.
However, there was no choice but to say 'but'. At this time, the Ming Dynasty was troubled internally and externally, and it had also caught up with the Little Ice Age. Natural and man-made disasters continued, and the imperial court was in a terrible state.
It was really difficult for the logistics department to keep up.
However, Wu Yunqing was also very supportive of Yang He's actions. He asked the Ministry of Revenue to allocate food and materials.
The current Minister of Revenue was Guo Yunhou. He had a headache. He needed money everywhere, but where did he have that much money?
Fortunately, Wei Zhongxian had managed to get a few million yuan from his family, but it was not enough.
The emperor had asked the Ministry of Revenue to provide disaster relief to Shaanxi, so they had no choice but to do it.
Originally, Yang He had asked for 300,000 catties of grain. However, Guo Yunhou wrote a hundred thousand dan with the excuse that he had no money.
It was this hundred thousand catties of grain that only had ten thousand catties left when it passed to Yang He.
Yang He's old face turned red with anger.
He wanted 300,000 catties, but now he only had 10,000 catties. This, this was simply bullying!
No, I must report this to the Emperor and investigate which one is playing favoritism.
If the disaster relief was not successful and the people rebelled, then the one to blame would be him, Yang He. He could not take the blame!
Yang He's idea was good, but the food could not keep up.
At first, the peasant soldiers who had been recruited were relatively well-behaved, but later on, their rations decreased. From two meals a day to one meal a day, from dry to watery...
Many people felt that they had been deceived, and their dissatisfaction rose again.
Yang He's head became twice as big as before, but even a clever housewife couldn't cook without rice!
On the other hand, Hong Chengchou was actively reorganizing the army.
Of course, it was the local army that was reorganized. He was the governor personally ordered by the emperor and had the right to mobilize the local garrison.
Although Hong Chengchou was a scholar, he was also very good at managing the army. He followed strict military law. No matter who it was, as long as they dared to violate military orders, there was only one word: kill!
After a month of reorganization, both civil officials and generals were trembling in fear of Hong Chengchou.
This was because in this month, Hong Chengchou had dismissed three civil officials and killed five generals.
Originally, Hong Chengchou had thought that Yang He was being soft-hearted. He did not care about benevolence and righteousness when it came to traitors. Only by killing and killing until they were afraid would no one rebel!
Now, those who had been recruited had rebelled again.
Yang He had no choice but to mobilize his troops to kill the bandits.
Hong Chengchou also received orders to send troops to suppress the bandits.
Hong Chengchou knew that his chance had come and immediately led five thousand soldiers to set off.
After all, the peasant army was still a peasant army. They did not know the art of war, and their weapons were incomplete.
Wang Er led 8,000 peasant soldiers and was caught up by Hong Chengchou. In one battle, 5,000 of them were killed.
Wang Er led the rest of the people and fled in a panic...
It was also Shaanxi Province. Before Wang Er's place was pacified, another man named Wang Jiayi also rose in revolt!
Shaanxi was in chaos!
Of course, Wu Yunqing had received the report from Shaanxi. It made him depressed. It seemed that the things in history had still happened, and he had no way to stop it.
Sigh, the main reason was that he didn't have money!
"Lu Xiangsheng will also be the commander-in-chief. He will control the troops of the Daming Mansion to eliminate Wang Jiayi. At the same time, ask Cao Wenzhao to cooperate so that Wang Jiayi doesn't go anywhere else.”
"Yes." Sun Chengzong did not know Lu Xiangsheng, but the emperor seemed to value him very much.
The emperor had already given the decree, so he could not argue.
The Minister of Revenue, Guo Yunhou, came out of the office and reported," Your Majesty, the national treasury only has three million taels of silver. Liaodong is increasing the food and salary, and even Yang He is chasing after the money for disaster relief.
Now that the new year had just passed, the Ministry of Revenue had to pay the salaries of the officials in the capital, the salaries of the imperial clan, and so on…
Now it's far from enough to spend. What's the plan?”
"What about the Ministry of Revenue?"
"Your Majesty, please use the treasury to pay for the army." Guo Yunhou said with a coquettish look. He knew that this matter would incur the Emperor's hatred.
But there was no other way. As the Minister of Revenue, he had to think of a solution.
Emperor Tianqi was also stunned. F * ck, this bastard was only after my wealth!
The internal treasury was the emperor's private property. The expenses of the palace and so on were all paid from here.
But to be honest, the internal treasury was really rich. The previous two emperors had saved up some, and Wei Zhongxian had also sent over a lot.
Ahem, Wu Yunqing was really rich now.
But don't get it mixed up. The emperor's money was his own, not the country's.
