Supporting the body in the white blade, wandering in the red dust

Chapter 887

When Bailang returned to the imperial court, the first thing he did was to say that Zhen would open Enke, and all the officials were shouting for the emperor's sage.As a result, the person's next sentence was, "For this round of Enke examinations, use half of the previous number, and only the four provinces are allowed to take the exam-this one is more straightforward, and the number of places remains unchanged from the beginning of the boy's exam to the juren's." , Scholars are halved."

At the moment, about half of the ministers were in an uproar—they were from the south, but it was normal for the northerners.These southerners didn't dare to say that this kind of Enke is not good, they just begged the emperor that since it is open Enke, it might as well benefit scholars all over the world. Why is Jun's deep kindness only for these four provinces? "Because they have completed the clearing of the land according to my wishes, and they have paid for the grain and the errands." Bailang replied very easily, "Don't give them preferential treatment? Do they give preferential treatment to the southern provinces that are obedient and obedient?"

The southern provinces are especially bounded by the Huaihe River, and the people in the south are basically people who are obedient and obedient, especially in the Jiangnan area, which is even more fooled by you than the frontiers such as Yunnan and Guizhou-who makes there be more scholars there.If you still can't get your hands out to deal with them, let's just let it go, Enke will have nothing to do with them this time.

Bailang wanted to start with the arrears of taxes and water transportation, and the arrears of taxes would just destroy the reputation of those scholars—a kind of rebellion?Just like them, it wasn't that Bailang underestimated these scholars, it was impossible for them to rebel, and he was not a scholar of the Han and Tang Dynasties. If the catastrophe happened, Bailang felt that there should be many scholars who could become righteous, just rebelling?forget it.

"From the Pacific Ocean to the Neva River." Bailang hummed a little song, and this time he didn't go to court again, "From today on, I will be Wanli, and I will be a man who doesn't go to court." Bailang happily lazied in Xiyuan, of course Other gardens are also under construction one after another - Yuyuantan is a comprehensive water conservancy project, and Bailang is a garden that is going to be built so that people in the capital can enjoy it casually.

So there are no man-made buildings, all are natural scenery - the excavated soil is piled up to form a ridge, and the surrounding area is ready to be sold, but there is a premise that it will be made into a public place to allow tourists to walk. As for the restaurant or brothel after buying it, that is Buyer's own business.And the places where the Old Summer Palace and the Summer Palace are located in later generations were all enclosed this time to prepare for the construction of the Li Palace.

This time, more than one million taels of silver was allocated, and masters from the north and south were invited to make the landscaping. At least the picture on the drawing is very beautiful-a large area of ​​water features, which is rare in gardens in the south of the Yangtze River.Bailang was quite satisfied, and the officials didn't want to say much - he used his commissioned internal money. Although a large part of it went into the national treasury, a lot of the proportional percentage went into Bailang's internal money.

Wanli used internal money to build a garden by himself, so no one could say much, it was better than his grandfather Jiajing who used treasury money to cultivate Taoism.Jiajing's Taoist embezzlement of the treasury would make him ugly. Wanli can be regarded as a rare Ming emperor who never reaches out to the treasury.

"Well, I can't be too busy doing things these days. It will take at least three years to deal with the problems in the south—these four northern provinces have just completed the transformation, and it will take at least these years to consolidate the results. In this way, the master and I have to go out often Inspections. This is not a good thing in ancient society, and the efficiency of the rule by uploading and issuing is actually quite poor." Bailang is also a little helpless, even if he is the best in martial arts in the world, he still can't do things that should not be done, and such There are too many things.

He himself is the world's leading strategist, and he personally leads thousands of invincible characters, but he is still a bit lacking in researching and improving steam engines—even if he can silently write the mathematical principles of natural philosophy?The soil of the current Ming Dynasty is not thick enough.

This matter still has to be handed over to Xu Guangqi - this guy is about the same age as Wanli, but he has to be more than 40 to be admitted to Jinshi. Anyway, Wanli has plenty of time, so don't worry.In the past three years of practicing internal skills, of course, we have to clean up the troops on the nine sides. There is no need to keep a lot of troops, and there is no need for so many senior generals.

"It's useless to defend against the Mongols all day long! Take the initiative to attack, and sweeping the caves is the right way!" Bailang's point of view is like this, let alone the Mongols, Daming is equipped with tens of thousands of cavalry, and every time he dispatches tens of millions of people to fight against the Mongols. The mopping up of the grassland can seriously damage the Mongols in a few years.And the most important thing is the double set, occupying the grassland outside the mouth, directly bypassing the mountains and entering Liaodong, and mopping up the Jurchens.

Bailang is going to use the heads of some Mongols and some Jurchens to build Jingguan, and he plans to move all the rest of the Jurchens into the pass, or throw them to the south - it doesn't matter how many people die, but they must be given Chinese names. Han custom hair accessories and clothing are all Han, if not, then leave the head.

Bailang is not only targeting the Jurchens, he is ready to do this to all foreign races - he has no interest in such things as ethnic customs and costumes, he will give me Chinese names, wear Han clothes and learn Han customs, otherwise it will be very difficult. My race must repeatedly go through the knife.

Toast?People as awesome as me, Wanli, are not allowed to exist in the territory of my Ming Dynasty!
Dongnan let them jump first, but the people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei can be sent out first-what are they going to do?Of course, it is required to pay the arrears, and the supervision work will be carried out by the way.Everyone knows that this is basically formalism, but formalism is also useful, at least it can beat local bureaucrats, and it is not impossible to take people.

Of course, the governor must also be sent, this is Bailang's method.Originally, the large-scale dispatch of Jinyiwei would be blamed by "the world", but now the focus is not on this aspect, but on Enke this time!Fucking Bailang gave Ganke to the four northern provinces, but didn't give it to other provinces, what's so good about it?The whole world (except the four provinces) is scolding.

As for the quick-witted ones, they are already taking the path of whether they can be sent to those four provinces to participate in Enke, while other scholars are scolding, the question is, so what?Does the current one care about the scolding of your gang? "There are still opportunities to deal with them! At that time, they will cry bitterly! My Ming Dynasty may not have many other things, and there are not many scholars who want to be officials?"

As for rebellion?Rebellion for Enke?No, no, Enke is used to be an official, not to rebel.At this time, in Jiangnan, the business tax can still be collected a lot, but Bailang wants more.So it is necessary to ship by sea, water transport must be suppressed, and a large amount of money and food is better to be transported by sea-money is transported by water, and grain is transported by sea.Don't have any conscience towards the officials of Ming Dynasty, if you go by sea, Bailang is sure that these people will not lose more than half of the silver
