Lin Yuan became Chongzhen. As soon as he ascended the throne, he discovered three things: the treasury was empty, the salary of Liao Dynasty was cut off, and all the officials were still crying for poverty.
But a systematic check showed that there was money in the court treasury, the salt merchant's black account, Tongzhou Chaoguan, and the empty wages of the border town.
It's not that Ming Dynasty has no money, it's that the money is not in the treasury.
It's not that there's no one in Ming Dynasty, it's that there are too many idle people.
It's not that Ming Dynasty cannot be saved, it's that the one who should be eliminated is not eliminated.
So Lin Yuan collected the royal guards, checked the black accounts, seized the banknotes, launched a military battle, and trained the new musketry army.
Civil officials force the palace? Pay back the money you owe first.
Eunuchs seizing power? Get behind the gun and talk.
Lack of pay at the border? I'll first check who swallowed the military rations.
Let me save Daming?
Can.
First, physically cut off these blood-sucking wastes.
