Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1642 Disputes
In the southwest of October, the autumn air is crisp.

Yudu City.

As the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the most lively thing in Yudu recently is the examination in October, the first time for the imperial examination, but it has attracted the attention of many people.

The imperial examination is a new system. In fact, no one has absolute confidence in whether it can replace the recommendation system that lasted from the previous dynasty.

Facts speak louder than words.

Only by highlighting the achievements of the imperial examinations can the new system be implemented. At least the imperial examinations will not be left behind after being held only once.

………………

Daming Palace.

A palace towering like a cloud stands in the northwest of Yudu, overlooking the entire city of Yudu.

Standing on the windowsill of the ninth floor.

Mujing looked at the mountains and rivers he had brought down with his own hands, and his heart was still a little ups and downs. The mountains and rivers were all under his feet, and that feeling could make people's blood boil.

Standing here, he felt as if the entire city of Yudu was under his feet. It was a bit overwhelming, but it was more of a sense of accomplishment.

As a person who has traveled back from the future, from being out of place at the beginning to now, he already feels that he has integrated into this era.

"His Majesty!"

A deep voice sounded behind him.

"Is there news from the north?" Mu Jing turned around, saw Xin Zhao walking in, and asked.

He has been waiting for news from the north all this time.

After the Battle of Guandu, any movement in the north will affect the future war, so he will pay special attention to it, and will not let go of any slightest movement.

"Yes!"

Xin Zhao nodded: "Just received the purple secret letter from Jing Wusi, Tan Zong is out of trouble and is returning to Hanoi, and Commander Tan's contempt made Pan Feng and Han Taonan go down!"

"Mian Sheng is what he should be!"

Mu Jing thought for a while, and said, "I feel relieved that they can get out of trouble smoothly. As for the plan to steal the day and change the day, to what extent it will be carried out, you, Jing Wusi, can grasp it yourself!"

"Yes!"

Xin Zhao nodded.

"In addition, after Tan Zong comes back, you should keep an eye on him, and don't let him run around anymore. He's a cripple, restless all day long, as if Daming has no one left, and needs to use crutches to charge forward!"

Mujing said with some dissatisfaction.

He regards Tan Zong as his brother. The youth camp on Mushroom Mountain where we shared joys and sorrows and assisted each other in life and death, there are not many left now, and every one who survives is counted as one. He doesn't want to be left alone in the end.

"Your Majesty, I can't do anything!" Zhao Xin smiled wryly: "I can control the world, but I really can't control Commander Tan. Zuo Si's ability is much stronger than our right Si's!"

On this point, he was right, Zuo Si's intelligence channels can cover You Si's, and You Si's only advantage is that he is sufficiently secretive, so secretive that Zuo Si doesn't even know if there will be You Si's spies by his side.

But if it is really about the ability to stalk, Zuo Si can get rid of You Si by a few blocks.

"You can't think of a way!" Mu Jing said arrogantly: "It's really impossible, break his other leg, I want to see how he is jumping!"

"Ha ha!"

Xin Zhao could only laugh dryly, but he didn't dare to take Mu Jing's words seriously.

He quickly changed the subject: "Your Majesty, Jiangdong has made some progress. I went for a trip and didn't see Sun Quan, but I hooked up with a few people from aristocratic families!"

"have a future!"

Mu Jing analyzed with a smile: "Jiangdong, the power of the family is still very strong. When Sun Jian was around, he began to suppress the power of the family. Sun Bofu is so strong, they are naturally out of breath. Fu Ke doesn't have such a good background as I do. I have the Ministry of Agriculture. The Ministry of Agriculture has stabilized Ming's agricultural planting over the years, reclaimed wasteland, increased yield per mu, and contributed a lot to our grain reserves. He, Sun Bofu, doesn't have the confidence to throw face at a powerful family, a gentry and a wealthy family, he needs those people to give him food, so at most it's just suppression!"

Daming also had troubles from aristocratic families, and there were also chaos among the gentry and powerful clans, but Mu Jing was not afraid, because of something, because Mu Jing had enough confidence.

Mu Jing holds the army in his hands, although there are people from aristocratic families and noble families in the army, it is difficult to achieve success. Since the core is in charge of the Privy Council, under the system of the Privy Council, no one can dominate.

The other thing is that Mujing has food in his hands. Mujing established the agricultural government back then and started fighting for the development of agriculture. These years have achieved good results. The Ministry of Agriculture is above the imperial court and is relatively low-key, but no one dares to erase their contribution. In recent years, if the Ministry of Agriculture hadn't been stabilizing the growth of agriculture and had stored sufficient grain for Daming in the southwest of the Land of Abundance, Mujing would not have had such arrogance to dare to be an enemy of all the heroes in the world.

This point is not available to King Sun Ce of Wu. Sun Ce is domineering and in charge of the military. He will not be afraid of these aristocratic families, but he has to rely on them to raise food and grass for himself.

Once a war breaks out in Jiangdong, even if Sun Ce is strong, he must bow his head in front of these aristocratic families, otherwise he will not have enough food and grass to start the war, and it will be very sad.

"These aristocratic families put their hopes on Sun Zhongmou, you can try it, communicate with them secretly, and give them some benefits!"

Mu Jing said softly: "We don't need them to be used by us, but as long as they provoke the relationship between them and Wu Wangsun's clan, it is enough to affect the situation in the entire Jiangdong!"

This era, to be precise, is an era in which aristocratic families rule all directions. These people may not have the ability to accomplish things, but it is too easy to want to do bad things.

"Then can I add more layouts, use them, and bury our people!"

Xin Zhao was inspired by the plan of stealing the sky and changing the sky, and he has further experience in burying the nail: "If we borrow their power and let them recommend our people for official careers, and establish a certain influence on Wu Guochaotang in the future, It's not hopeless!"

"You can think about it!"

Mu Jing didn't deny this plan, he said with a smile: "But don't have too much hope, this kind of thing, if it doesn't last ten or twenty years, it's hard to be effective. I have set a certain goal for myself a long time ago. In ten years, I will definitely be able to dominate the country!"

"Be prepared!"

Xin Zhao said: "As long as there are more of us in Wu Guochaotang, it will be much easier for us to pacify Jiangdong!"

"I agree with what you said, you can let go and do it!" Mu Jing encouraged him somewhat.

Next, Xin Zhao reported several things.

"Where's Yecheng?" Mu Jing suddenly asked: "Is there no specific news about Yecheng?"

"Jing Wusi suffered heavy casualties when he withdrew from Yecheng in order to cover Commander Tan and his plan to steal the sky. It is difficult to find out the specific news. I am afraid that the situation will not be so tense. Maybe the news will come back after the dust settles! "

Xin Zhao said.

"I'm a little curious, who will be able to win the city of Ye!"

Mu Jing's mind was circling, Liu Bei had plans, Cao Cao also had plans, the plans of these two people were not simple, it was really uncertain who would end up with the city of Ye.

The ownership of Yecheng will establish the situation in Hebei in the future.

Yuan Shao is gone.

Hebei also needs to be divided up.

It's really hard to guess who can take the advantage.

"Send another spies to keep an eye on Yecheng!"

Mu Jing said: "The latest news of Yecheng must appear in front of me as soon as possible. I really can't be a deaf or a blind person. This will affect the situation of the battle!"

"promise!"

Xin Zhao nodded.

Xin Zhao pondered for a while and decided to hand in a list. He whispered to Mu Jing, "Your Majesty, this is a list of some gentry who have become more active recently. Some extreme methods!"

"Extreme means?"

Hearing this, Mu Jing sneered slightly: "I really hope they can do it, so that I don't need to have such a headache, these country gentry have enough prestige in the local area, and they can slowly consume with me and the court. , and it is very life-threatening, just like a fly, it will stare at you, but it may not attack you, but its buzzing sound will make you upset!"

Squires are a class, they are all composed of scholars, most of them have been petty officials, and they have a very high reputation in the local area.

When they broke out, Mu Jing would avoid the three colors. After all, governing the country is based on people. If people are controlled, no matter what he does, it will be useless.

In the modern Ming Dynasty, it is really impossible to be open-minded. Everyone has their own thinking. Most people are illiterate, illiterate, and do not know the truth. They trust people at the level of scholars. It has great prestige in the local area, and many people will listen to what the squire says.

If they really had influence, then they would either have to suppress the rebellion violently, or Mujing would have to admit defeat and take a half-step back, thus bringing the New Deal to a standstill.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to force them!" Xin Zhao is a ruthless person. He has only one position, and that is Mu Jing's orders. No matter right or wrong, he must strictly obey them. It can be done.

"Need not!"

Mu Jing waved his hand, he is not lofty, but looks down on these means, the New Deal will not only involve the interests of a small group of people, this is not to the point of killing people.

Mu Jing said in a low voice: "Let them make trouble, don't worry about them, you are only responsible for keeping an eye on their every move, and I want to see if they can give me a surprise!"

"Yes!"

Xin Zhao nodded.

...............................

Xin Zhao made a report and left the ninth floor.

Soon, Hu Zhao, the prime minister of Ming Dynasty, came to the saint personally to report some government affairs.

Mu Jing was dealing with government affairs, so he and Hu Zhao sat down on the desk in front of them and had a chat.

Besides Mu Jing, Hu Zhao and Cai Yong are the two people who have the most power to make decisions about this Ming Dynasty. Many things are decided by Mu Jing, Hu Zhao, and Cai Yong.

Hu Zhao, as the first minister of the Ming Dynasty, Prime Minister Zuo at the top of the Ming Dynasty, and Prime Minister of Zhaoming Pavilion, his power is second only to that of Mu Jing, and he has the power to intervene and make decisions whether it is civil, military, military or political.

What the two of them could talk about when they sat down was only the big things about Daming Jiangshan.

"Cai Xiang is in charge of the examination this month, so for the time being, I will personally take charge of the affairs of the Political Affairs Hall!" Hu Zhaodao explained the purpose of his visit, and told Mu Jing very directly that he had seized the power of the Political Affairs Hall.

"Should!" Mu Jing didn't have any objections, Cai Yong showed his fangs, if Hu Zhao didn't give him a bite, the left minister of Ming Dynasty would be suppressed by the right minister.

This is not about fighting for strength, but about not losing one's status and majesty.

Hu Zhao continued: "Your Majesty, at the previous Zhaoming Pavilion meeting, you hoped to use the new tax law to restructure Daming's finances, but this matter was too hasty. I think it needs a long-term plan!"

Hu Zhao has to admit one thing, that is, Mujing is too fierce and unconstrained in his actions. When you think he will calm down for a while, he will go against the wind unexpectedly.

Bold, decisive, strategic, and considerate, such a monarch is more acceptable to Hu Zhao, but he can't be impatient in many things.

Hu Zhao wanted to put a brake on the new tax law because Mu Jing left too hastily, and the entire Ming Dynasty would be destabilized in such a hurry, which he did not allow.

"Hasn't Zhaoming Pavilion discussed this matter?" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "Or does Prime Minister Hu think that Zhaoming Pavilion's decisions can be overturned?"

Before the matter of the new tax law, he had put a lot of careful thought into it. Under a lot of cover-ups, he caught Hu Zhao by surprise. After borrowing Cai Yong's strength and provoking conflicts between the two sides, he narrowly passed it. motion.

As an emperor, he is willing to be supervised by the system, but that doesn't mean he is willing to submit to it. If Hu Zhao dares to break the rules, he definitely dares to kill people.

What is the New Deal? The New Deal is the new system overthrowing the old system. During this process, bloodshed is inevitable. At least Mu Jing has never seen a reform without bloodshed.

"I don't have such an idea, I respect the results of Zhaoming Pavilion's court discussion!" Hu Zhaodao: "I just want to discuss with His Majesty about the timing of the implementation. During the court meeting, I didn't make any decisions in this regard." Any decision, in my opinion, can be delayed!"

Mu Jing was a little silent when he heard the words, and he caught the gap here, so it's no wonder that Hu Zhao would fight back.

Since it is within the rules.

Then the problem can only be solved by means within the rules.

Each according to their own ability.

"Hu Xiang, for some things, the sooner the better!" Mu Jing looked at the north worriedly, and said, "I don't think they will give Daming more time to recuperate!"

Domination of the world is righteousness.

He used righteousness to suppress Hu Zhao.

"Your Majesty, I believe that although the situation in the north is a bit tense, there is still no time for war. We still have time to consolidate our forces!"

Hu Zhao analyzed: "To be too impatient at this time will backfire. The tax law is related to the survival of the people. It is not just the loss of the aristocratic family, the gentry and the rich. Daming is caught in internal and external troubles!"

Hu Zhao, who is eloquent, can naturally find a way to fight back against Mu Jing.

Mu Jing was silent.

His eyes settled down for a moment, and he stared at Hu Zhao.

Hu Zhao was neither humble nor overbearing, his expression was calm, his eyes were fixed, he had a clear conscience, this was not selfish, but for the peace of Ming Dynasty.
