………………

Empress Lu finally felt the joy of being a mother fan.

When a child does one thing right, the mother feels like she owns the whole world.

First Empress Dowager (Yanhuang First Empress):

"So this time, did Chongzhen successfully solve the problem of the peasant uprising?"

"I have to say that this kind of gentle policy to deal with peasant uprisings is much stronger than that kind of crazy suppression."

"This is the king's love for the people."

………………

Chen Tong shrugged.

Chen Tong:

"Of course it didn't work out!

Of the [-] shi of grain distributed by Chongzhen, only [-] shi were actually distributed to the victims.

One hundred thousand shi of grain is just to alleviate the disaster, how can five thousand shi be enough?

So a more violent peasant uprising broke out.

Shen Yikui's peasant rebel army numbered from a few hundred to a few thousand at the beginning, and quickly exceeded ten thousand, sweeping across the entire northern Shaanxi.

It even began to spread towards the surrounding area. "

………………

What the hell!

The emperors were stunned at the moment.

Liu Xiu could hardly believe her eyes.

Because the figures cited by Chen Tong were really unacceptable to him.

Grand Magister:

"The imperial court distributed 10 shi of grain, but when it reached the victims, there were only [-] shi left?"

"That is to say, the victims received only 1/20 of the grain!"

"This is too scary!"

………………

Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others were also stunned by such numbers.

Friends of wives:

"I go!"

"Could this be the reason why Chongzhen was able to defy all opinions?"

"Those ministers saw that the court allocated grain to appease the peasants to revolt."

"Did they think they could profit from it?"

"That's why Chongzhen was able to implement his strategy smoothly?"

"My dear, this corruption is too terrifying!"

………………

Li Zicheng was also stunned at this moment. He thought in his heart that the imperial court had no intention of helping the disaster.

It's just sending out some food casually to fool the people.

But now hearing what Chen Tong said, he also got to know Chongzhen again,

Did the court really distribute 10 shi of grain at that time?

The people do not pay:

"How is this possible?"

"How can 10 shi of grain be embezzled until only [-] shi are left?"

"How on earth is this corruption?"

"Chen Tong, are you deliberately talking nonsense here to brag about Chongzhen?"

"How could he distribute so much food to the disaster victims in northern Shaanxi?"

………………

Chen Tong sighed.

Chen Tong:

"This is the scary thing about these civil servants in the Ming Dynasty.

The [-] shi of grain hadn't left the capital yet, and half of it, which was [-] shi, was embezzled by the officials of the Ministry of Officials and the Household Department.

After the remaining 2 shi of grain was distributed to Shaanxi, the governor of Shaanxi directly embezzled [-] shi.

The remaining 3 shi of grain had to be transferred from the governor to the prefectures and counties, and the prefects of the prefectures collectively embezzled another 2 shi.

In the end, only [-] shi of grain were left to be sent to other places.

Do you think it's over when you get there?

How can it be?

There are still powerful gentry in the local area, and they directly chopped off half of the grain and took away five thousand shi of grain.

In the end, five thousand stones were distributed in the hands of the peasants, which is already an overestimate of the character of the powerful people in these places.

In the end, what the disaster victims can receive will only be less than this. "

…………

I go!

Human Emperor Xin really opened his eyes this time.

In ancient times, there were not so many twists and turns. He did not expect that this would be the result of layers of exploitation.

Anti-God Pioneer (Ancient Emperor):

"I really know a lot now."

"Some civil servants really treat the country like an automatic teller machine."

"These people are too bottomless."

"Such money dares to be greedy."

………………

At this moment, Empress Lu felt sorry for Chongzhen.

First Empress Dowager (Yanhuang First Empress):

"I found that Chongzhen was also quite miserable."

"If all the [-] shi of grain enters the disaster area this time, it may appease the anger of the people."

"It is impossible for so many people to participate in the peasant uprising."

………………

Li Zicheng was also stunned at the moment. Could it be that Chongzhen really stripped so much food for the disaster area?

Did I wrongly blame Chongzhen before?

No!

Li Zicheng quickly got rid of this idea.

How could he sympathize with a waste like Chongzhen?

The people do not pay:

"Anyway, it's because Chongzhen himself has no ability!"

"Couldn't he even investigate this matter?"

"Hasn't he thought of a remedy?"

………………

Many emperors were upset that Li Zicheng was so picky.

If it is said that the peace negotiation is the fault of Chongzhen and has nothing to do with the historical environment,

But the matter of disaster relief is definitely not the fault of Chongzhen, it is really a problem of the historical environment.

Chongzhen's strategy has been very biased towards the common people, but the bureaucratic structure at that time was like that,

It is impossible for Chongzhen to take [-] shi of grain to the disaster area by himself.

That is, it is impossible to exhaust Chongzhen to death.

Friends of wives:

"I think you're going too far!"

"The 10 shi of grain has already been squeezed out by Chongzhen through his teeth."

"What we are considering now is the emperor's policy and strategy. This incident has fully demonstrated Chongzhen's love for the people."

"He also really went to do things for the people."

"What really made it worse was the historical context at the time," he said.

"Chongzhen couldn't go beyond the bureaucracy and directly deliver food to the people face to face."

"Don't you feel guilty for letting Chongzhen carry this blame?"

………………

The other emperors also nodded repeatedly, feeling that Li Zicheng was being a bit picky.
