After this incident, the capital calmed down! On the one hand, everyone is busy doing their own things, on the other hand, it is also due to Zhang Juzheng's suppression! Zhang Juzheng's reform is coming to an end, and at the final moment, he will not allow anyone to mess around!
As for Liu Haojia himself, he was busy digesting Nanzhen Fusi and was still paying attention to the construction of a salt factory in Shandong, so he had no time to do other things.
Now Nanzhen Fusi has straightened things out a lot after he established his power several times! Especially those nobles who take care of those who are related to them must support Liu Haojia! So it made his training a lot easier! .
At the same time, Liu Hao's family also paid attention to the construction progress of Shandong Saltworks from time to time. As for the salt fields in Tianjin, he has completely given up. What made him secretly proud was that after the civil servants took over the salt farm, they immediately began to reap the benefits. The planned fourth phase of the project was stopped after only one-third of the progress! Liu Haojia wrote down all these things one by one for future use.
Time flowed away like running water, and more than two years passed in the blink of an eye. During this period of time, it can be said that the Ming Dynasty was calm, without even a trace of waves! Because Zhang Juzheng used his strong skills to suppress all opposition voices and completely completed his reform!
In the past few years, due to his efforts, the conflicts among all social strata have been reconciled to a certain extent, especially the country's finances have been greatly alleviated! A year ago, there was already a large surplus in the imperial treasury! As for the situation this year, it is even more promising. It is estimated that after all expenditures are taken out, the national bank balance will exceed 1.5 million taels! And it is foreseeable that this number will continue to grow!
Due to the abundant state treasury, officials' accumulated salary arrears were also repaid and they received many subsidies. This made everyone in the imperial court denounce the saying "the king is virtuous and his ministers are wise". It was a harmonious scene!
Similarly, there is a thriving scene among the people! Since the national treasury has money, water conservancy projects and road repairs in various places have finally been put on the agenda. And it has been implemented in the past few years! This further increases the output of the fields and makes commerce more prosperous!
Because there was money in the treasury, the government was willing to spend money while the people were doing corvee labor. Therefore, the treatment of civilian husbands is much better! At least I can eat! This greatly reduced the casualties among the people during the construction of rivers and roads, and won great praise from the government!
Moreover, Zhang Juzheng also accepted part of Liu Haojia's ideas and tried to imitate the way he built the salt works in Tianjin and paid a small amount of wages to the peasants! Although a lot of these wages were embezzled by officials, a certain amount of money still fell into the hands of the people! That money made a big difference!
When people have money in their hands, they always want to buy some household things. Even if they don't have enough money, they still have to buy some food and some salt! Therefore, they also played a role in stimulating consumption in the Ming Dynasty, and the tax revenue also increased to a certain extent!
Especially in the past two years, God has been particularly generous. The weather has always been smooth, and there have been no major disasters in the entire Ming Dynasty! Even minor floods and droughts were quickly managed under Zhang Juzheng's supervision, and the people were well accommodated! Therefore, the common people also highly praised Emperor Wanli and Zhang Juzheng, thinking that they were models of virtuous kings and famous ministers!
As for the border town, it was much quieter than in previous years. Because after Liu Haojia used his own business name to restart the "Open China Law", not only did he purchase a large amount of wasteland in the border areas for land reclamation, but he also led other businessmen to follow suit! Therefore, the price of food in Bianzhen has continued to fall in the past two years, saving a lot of military expenses!
And not to mention anything else, just because food is cheaper and the soldiers and civilians can eat more, the morale of the military will be different! Even during a war, if you have a full stomach, you still have the strength to kill people!
In particular, Qi Jiguang, with the support of Liu Haojia, turned from defense to offense on the grassland, constantly sending small groups of cavalry to harass! There is no requirement for how much damage is done, as long as they can kill people, and they are even required to kill each other's cattle and sheep, it can be considered a meritorious service!
Moreover, Liu Haojia also generously passed on to them the sixteen-character mantra of "When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue"! This sixteen-character mantra was used to the extreme by Qi Jiguang, who was like a treasure! Even the first few times he went to the grassland, he personally led the team, just to show the soldiers how to use this sixteen-character mantra!
Moreover, Qi Jiguang equipped his soldiers with extremely luxurious equipment! Not to mention one person and three horses, each person is also equipped with two dongchang and armored steel swords! It can be said that everyone is made with money! But the effect is very good!
After they first went out and brought back many war horses, the team started to snowball! The initial three teams soon expanded to seventeen teams. The Japanese tribes outside the border were so annoyed that they had to retreat northward, leaving a lot of space!
In particular, he also purchased Mongolian prisoners of war at a high price according to Liu Hao's family's advice. Provoking internal strife among the Mongols. They also exchanged silk and other luxuries that were useless for the development of the grassland in exchange for Mongolian cattle, sheep and horses! In short, he used all kinds of tricks!
In the past, the reason why Qi Jiguang had little success when he was helping the public was because he was not the leader of a town at all. He had to be constrained by others in everything he wanted to do! Now that Liu Haojia has helped him become the chief officer of Datong Town, this old general has unleashed all his abilities!
Now in Datong Town, not to mention anything else, the scope of activities of his cavalry team has already covered the three surrounding towns. From this point of view, you can see how much effort he put in!
As for Liu Haojia, one of the busy things is Nanzhen Fusi. After the training, the Jin Yiwei of Nanzhen Fusi were in awe when they mentioned Liu Haojia! In particular, some people with family backgrounds have received warnings from their families. The core idea is just one sentence, be obedient!
Therefore, Liu Haojia's action to rectify Nanzhen Fusi went very smoothly. After some training, many capable and capable people emerged and were discovered by Liu Haojia and gradually promoted. Those who were just waiting to die were thrown directly to the bottom. Now the entire Nanzhen Fusi can be said to be full of vitality!
In particular, Liu Haojia really used the power of Nanzhen Fusi to inspect Jinyiwei. Jin Yiwei was monitored in all aspects! This move was huge. In the early days, the cells were almost full, and dozens of sticks were used to beat people!
However, he did not target the mid-level and senior officers, but still targeted the low-level imperial guards. Firstly, these people exploit the people most directly, and secondly, they are waiting for the opportunity. However, his actions did confuse Liu Shouyou and others, thinking that he was nothing more than that, and they were much less guarded against him!
