Chapter 100: Confession with Zhu Youxiao

Second: It was the money issue. Chen Yu was not worried about this at all. Li Zicheng was able to extort 7000 million taels of silver from Beijing. That was years later. At that time, due to the insecurity in the north, a lot of wealth had been transferred.

If the capital city were to be plundered in the same way as Li Zicheng, Chen Yu estimated that at least 1 million taels could be plundered. Maybe even more!

It was because of his inappropriate status that he could not plunder so thoroughly. Chen Yu was still certain about 5000 million taels. This alone was the starting capital. This money might not last for two years in Chongzhen's hands, and it was fooled away.

However, in Tianqi's hands, it is estimated that it can be used for at least ten years.

No, there are still Shanxi merchants. And Shandong Kong family, at worst I can be the bad guy again. The one I replaced was a eunuch, so why should I worry about my reputation!

If all else fails, there are salt merchants, maritime merchants and the officials who collude with them.

Therefore, there is no shortage of start-up capital. With this money, training an elite army of 500,000 will not be a problem.

With an army that obeys the emperor, would it be a big problem to collect commercial taxes in the future? Even if officials, gods, monks and laymen all paid taxes, it would not be a problem.

At the very least, it can support the healthy operation of the court.

Third: It’s a human problem.

The first wave of talents can be found from history. There are many talents such as Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing, Bi Maokang, Zhang Huangyan, He Tengjiao, Yan Yingyuan, Ma Shiying, Huang Degong, Zhang Shenyan, Li Banghua, Ni Yuanlu, etc. There are more than 100 officials who died for their country in the late Ming Dynasty alone. Not to mention those who died for their country before that, 200 to 300 people can still be found. Even people like Hong Chengchou can be used.

At least they are much more reliable than Yuan Chonghuan and Shi Kefa.

With these people to maintain the court at the beginning, there will be time to cultivate talents needed by the court. These still depend on Zhu Youxiao himself. After all, he may not be good at it, and he does not have the time.

At most, I can express my opinions and provide some technical support. For example, technical drawings of blast furnaces, flintlocks, artillery, etc. There are also world maps.

Fourth: It’s the food issue.

After all, it is the Little Ice Age now. Food is the basis of everything. However, Chen Yu has already made preparations. The seeds of corn, wheat, and rice he brought back from the last world were prepared for this world, although there are only a few hundred seeds of each. But it is enough! These seeds were specially selected by Chen Yu in the world of "Super Power Out of Control".

I didn't think that this was the world mission at the time. I just wanted to do my part! I didn't expect it to be so useful! Without saying too much, it was to achieve the minimum wheat yield of 240 kilograms per mu. It was much better than the current seeds. The other two at least doubled the yield.

As for other foods with higher yields, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, they are already available locally, as long as you find the right person. For example: Xu Guangqi!

Staying in the house arranged by Emperor Tianqi, Chen Yu had three very good meals a day.

Although there might not be as many seasonings as later, Chen Yu was greatly enlightened in terms of ingredients and cooking skills. So he said hello and took the initiative to rush to the imperial kitchen to communicate with the imperial chefs.

In less than a day, Chen Yu felt that his cooking skills had improved a little.

If only I could continue to consult these imperial chefs.

Chen Yu believes that his cooking skills can be improved to level three chef in five days at most!

However, Zhu Youxiao couldn't let this so-called Qi Refiner who suddenly appeared hundreds of years later stay here forever. In addition to his voluntary departure, Zhu Youxiao had enough time to think and also had the opportunity to finish reading the so-called Ming History.

noon the next day.

Just as Chen Yu continued to ask the imperial chef for advice in the imperial kitchen.

A eunuch on duty came to deliver the message.

Said: "The Emperor and the Empress are waiting for Mr. He in the Yangxin Palace!"

Although the eunuch who delivered the message, for some reason, only one day later, Xiao Zhuzi became Mr. He. However, it does not mean that he dares to say more.

To be able to survive in the palace and become an eunuch serving the emperor, none of them are stupid!

The unwise ones would have died long ago. Just like last night and this morning. As far as he knew, more than a hundred eunuchs and palace maids were executed in the harem, and some were detained and interrogated. Among them was Eunuch Guo Zhen.

Chen Yu came to Emperor Tianqi's residence again.

It was discovered that Zhu Youxiao's health had improved a lot. At least he could do it on his own now. Although he was still supported by Empress Zhang Yan. There was no one else around!

"It seems that my medicine is still useful!"

Chen Yu thought to himself.

Although this was a last-ditch effort to save Zhu Youxiao's life, it also saved his life, didn't it?

When the two sides met, there was no greeting.

Zhu Youxiao held up the History of Ming Dynasty in his hand and said to Chen Yu anxiously, "Mr. He, can you tell me whether what is written in this book is true?"

Chen Yu calmly replied, "Your Majesty, I can only tell you that this book was compiled by the Qing Dynasty after the end of the Ming Dynasty. It is indeed the history of the Ming Dynasty!"

"However, most of the officials who compiled this history of the Ming Dynasty were traitors who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty."

"So, although they couldn't fake the major events, they did glorify their side."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youxiao looked gloomy.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Then according to what you said, sir, eighteen years later, the rebels entered Beijing, and the emperor's brother committed suicide, and the Ming Dynasty was destroyed. Even if we count further, thirty-six years later, the so-called Southern Ming Dynasty was also destroyed."

Chen Yu said: "Your Majesty, there is no dynasty in this world that will not perish. The Ming Dynasty is no exception."

"What Your Majesty needs to consider now is how to delay the fate of the Ming Dynasty. At the very least, we must prevent the Central Plains from being embroiled in chaos again. This is also the purpose of my coming here."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao was shocked.

"Sir, you're right! Everything written in the book hasn't happened yet. I still have a chance!"

Chen Yu said: "That's right. At least because of my presence, His Majesty has temporarily overcome this difficulty. This is change, and it also means that history is not unchangeable."

Zhu Youxiao said, "Sir, this is about my falling into the water and my treatment. Is it true, as you said, that someone wants to imitate Emperor Wuzong and kill the emperor?"

Chen Yu smiled and said, "I believe His Majesty is very clear about this."

"However, my time is limited. I don't want to drag it out with Your Majesty any longer."

"On the surface, the case of His Majesty falling into the water this time was done by His Royal Highness Prince Xin in collusion with Eunuch Guo Zhen and Jinyiwei Captain Lu Wenzhao."
