Speaking of which, they are all people who love beauty. Although the 171 and 10 styles in their hands are very powerful, they are not convenient to carry after all. Besides, as a girl, it would be unsightly to carry such a big thing on her body every day, so they would like to have smaller guns on their body.
Looking at the two people's eyes full of starry longing, a smile flashed across Zhu Changwu's face, and then an extremely small 26 pistol suddenly appeared in his palm.
The Glock26 pocket pistol is small in size and extremely light in weight. The total length of the gun is only 160mm, the height of the gun is 106mm, and the width is 30mm. The entire pistol plus an empty magazine only weighs about 560 grams.
What's even more powerful is that its ammunition capacity reaches ten rounds, and its effective shooting distance can reach twenty steps, or thirty meters.
It is really the best weapon for women to use for self-defense.
As soon as the Type 26 pistol appeared, Lou Heyang reached out to grab it, but she couldn't be faster than Zhu Changwu. With a twitch of his arm, the other person's outstretched hand fell away.
"What are you doing?" Lou Heyang stared at Zhu Changwu, as if you dare to play tricks on me.
"The gun can be given to you in advance, but you should be more careful when looking for people next. Remember, the number of students in the first batch does not need to be too many, between three and forty people will be enough."
Zhu Changwu knew very well that the Type 26 pistol was tempting to two women. If he gave it to them now, they might not be able to listen to what he said next. As for the fact that the personnel do not have too many requirements, it is also for the sake of excellence. After all, they are doing the work of agents, so they inevitably have to work in areas controlled by the enemy and may face life threats at any time.
If there is no self-protection ability, such agents sent out will only die.
"Okay, I understand, do you have any other requirements?" Lou Heyang asked impatiently.
"Not yet. The main thing is to select the personnel first. When the training comes, I will be the instructor myself when I have time." Zhu Changwu shook his head.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lou Heyang moved to grab it again. This time Zhu Changwu did not move and allowed the other party to grab the 26 moves.
After Lou Heyang got it, he had a look of joy on his face, and as expected, he regarded everything else as if it were nothing. The remaining Chen Yuanyuan looked at Zhu Changwu expectantly, as if you don't give me a hand, I will cry for you right away.
What Zhu Changwu was most afraid of was women crying, so he exchanged a handful of 26-style formulas from his portable system and gave them to Chen Yuanyuan. The beauty immediately started laughing and couldn't put it down, playing with them.
...
Capital, Imperial Palace, Zhongji Hall.
A group of ministers of the Ming Dynasty were standing in the second class. Chongzhen, dressed in royal robes, was sitting high in the Jinluan Hall, his eyes casually scanning downwards.
The ministers were still the same ministers, but when he looked at these ministers whom he had leaned on before, for some reason, Chongzhen felt disgust from the bottom of his heart.
These are the people who keep saying that they are saints every day.
It is these people who talk about Zhongjun every day, as if they want to show their hearts to themselves.
These same people, when Ming Dynasty encountered its greatest crisis, they all hid and no one could be seen.
I still remember that many years ago, the capital of the Ming Dynasty was in danger, but at that time, at least Yu Shaobao stood up, commanded the defense of the capital, and saved the Ming Dynasty from fire and water. These people were really even the officials of the Ming Dynasty at that time. Far worse.
Although he felt disgusted in his heart, Chongzhen still had to use it.
Ming Dynasty is so big that it is impossible to manage it all with the help of myself and Zhu Changwu. In contrast, although these people in front of me have proven that they are not so loyal to the emperor, let alone patriotic, they have been in high positions for a long time. At least they still have their own experience in how to manage the Ming Dynasty.
Let's deal with them first. After time passes and the young ministers grow up, we can replace them all.
With this thought in his mind, Chongzhen suppressed his displeasure with these ministers, and then slowly spoke. "My lords, a lot of things happened in the past few days. To be honest, at that time I thought that the Ming Dynasty was going to die, so you would have such and such behaviors and thoughts. I can understand it, and I also decided not to pursue it. What you did then.”
Chongzhen said such words out of helplessness.
There are so many courtiers, but no one comes to the court. If according to this statement, they are all killed, then there will be no ministers in the court?
The so-called law does not punish everyone refers to the current situation.
As soon as these words were said, many people in the hall breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily. Following the lead of Chief Assistant Wei Zaode, the courtiers all knelt down and shouted long live long live long live long live.
Wei Zaode, whose courtesy name was Shiling and whose nickname was Qinggong, was from Tongzhou (now Tongzhou District, Beijing). In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen (1640 AD), he became the number one scholar.
He was good at rhetoric and eloquence, and he was well versed in Chongzhen's strategies, so he could always cater to Chongzhen's thoughts. However, he was talented but not virtuous, and he could not take the world as his own responsibility and come up with strategies to govern the country.
To put it bluntly, he is just a flatterer who is good at understanding people's hearts.
He was also the last chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty.
In history, when the intruder entered Beijing, he shamelessly dedicated his daughter to Liu Zongmin, but even so, he could not escape the tragic death in prison.
This time, thanks to the appearance of Zhu Changwu, he did not die prematurely.
But obviously, he didn't thank Zhu Changwu in his heart. Just a while ago, Yang Guanguang came to him with money and wanted him to impeach Zhu Changwu with Chen Yan and others. But he didn't agree.
It was not that he was unwilling, but that Yang Guanguang only gave him a benefit of five thousand taels of silver. This made Wei Zaode think that this was an insult to himself. After all, he was also the chief minister of the dynasty, how could he go there just for this little money? Do things for others?
It was precisely because of his greed that he escaped disaster.
After Chen Yan and others were confiscated and beheaded, the somewhat clever Wei Zaode saw Zhu Changwu's importance in Chongzhen's eyes. After all, a favorite like Li Guozhen was killed even if he wanted to kill him, which only meant that this person was more trusted by the emperor.
Wei Zaode would never make any decisions about people whom the emperor trusted. What he liked to do was flatter others and suppress others.
All the ministers knelt down and shouted long live. At this moment, they sincerely thanked Chongzhen for letting go of the past, especially some of the ministers who had no intention of surrendering. They just had limited abilities and did not believe that Chongzhen could turn the tide. I heard this. The moment the Jingyang bell rang, some people were even ready to commit suicide and serve the country.
Ministers like this were even more grateful for Chongzhen's tolerance towards them at this time.
"Okay, I can forgive you, but you must each do your job properly. From now on, if I find anyone who has neglected his duties, he will be punished for both crimes and will never be lenient." Chongzhen planned to Use them for a while first, but you still have to give them the pressure they should be given.
"I will bear in mind your Majesty's teachings." All the ministers had just stood up, but this time they knelt down again. The situation is like this, even some ministers who have other plans must act more honest now.
The ministers retreated and went straight to each government office. Soon, some institutions and government offices that had been shut down were opened for business. Although it was a bit chaotic when the first year of junior high school took over, everything will be back on track in a few days.
Chongzhen also left Zhongji Hall and returned to Qianqing Palace where he worked and rested.
As soon as he entered the palace and sat down, Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen: "Wang Daban, bring over the zhezi sent by the Ministry of Revenue this morning."
Zhang Yi is now the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He was originally a scholar. Things like writing memorials are naturally easy to grasp. This memorial was written by him himself.
The memorial was delivered to the Dragon Case. Chongzhen took it and read it. After a while, his eyes became brighter and brighter. When he saw the last number, he couldn't help but shout "good".
"Okay, okay. This Zhang Yi, no! That kid is really capable of doing things. I didn't expect that this person is not only good at fighting, but he also has such means when it comes to managing finances."
Chongzhen was in a good mood, all because of what was written in the memorial.
In just one auction of the products of the Ming Dynasty Research Institute, five million taels of silver were sold, which Chongzhen never expected.
Although the five million taels of silver can only be divided into 30% of the profits according to the previous agreement, and not all of them can be obtained, don't forget that the business tax alone is one million taels, which has to be paid in the treasury.
The previous Ming Dynasty treasury could definitely starve rats to death, but now with this one million taels, even if he has some foundation, as the emperor, he will have financial resources at his disposal. When talking to others, I feel more confident.
Not only was this one thing included in the memorial, but other miscellaneous business taxes were also collected, and the final number reached 200,000 taels, which made Chongzhen very happy.
He had never thought that just the commercial tax in the capital, and it was only for a few days, could actually collect so much. Thinking about the past, the fiscal revenue of the entire Ming Dynasty for a year was only less than ten million taels. This was because of the additional three bells, otherwise, it would have been even less.
It is precisely because there is no money available that there is a huge fiscal deficit, which leads to wars and people's livelihood.
In the past, Chongzhen had not thought about raising commercial taxes, but every time he mentioned this matter, the officials would collectively oppose it. Why couldn't he compete with the people for profit, and what were the limitations of the ancestral system, etc. wait.
In short, there is one sentence, that is, no additional commercial tax can be levied, and it is best to maintain the ratio at 30 to 1 tax.
