Jinyi Night Walk

The Fuguo Duke's Mansion, which was newly built at the beginning, now has the strict laws of the Hou family, which is as deep as the sea. The whole mansion, inside and out, is in order under the joint efforts of Ming'er and a group of capable family members.

Inside the inner house, there are corridors and winding doors, deep passages, various houses, and complicated and tortuous roads. Without the guidance of people in the garden, if outsiders rush in rashly, wandering around for a long time among the many doors, they may not be able to find the right place. s position.

In the exquisite warm pavilion in the west chamber, the spring is cold and humid, so a pot of animal charcoal is still burning, making the room warm.

The room is magnificently furnished, with stools, chairs, tables, tables, cupboards, cabinets, stands, screens..." The materials are all made of red sandalwood, huali, and mahogany. Qi. The antique porcelain placed on the hollowed-out antique shelf is also a piece of treasure, something that can never be bought in the market, and there is a price but no market.

Just in the evening, a few palace lanterns made of thin wood and covered with colored glass will be placed on the table, illuminating the room brightly. Apart from other things, just these few lamps are extremely expensive items. up.

The female family members of the Yang family were all sitting in the house, some were leaning on the Arhat bed, some were sitting on armchairs made of gold silk rattan, or beside a small round table made of pear wood. Wosi's Long Zhouyan, with long hair like varnished dark clouds, wearing a pair of short skirts with white silk on her upper body, and a moonflower Xiangshui skirt on her lower body, sitting gracefully.

Qiaoyun led a few maids in, and brought in steaming, sweet and pleasant japonica rice porridge from bird's nest with rock sugar, all of which were filled in small blue and white porcelain nests. Each of the ladies took a bowl, and Ming'er stirred it gently with a spoon. Congee Tang said with a smile: "The master has already returned to Beijing according to the order. I estimate the distance, and I will be there in five or six days. When the master comes back this time, he will not leave again for a while.

When the master is back, the family affairs must be decided by the master. Count the days, the master has been away for more than a year, and there are many things about our family that the master needs to know.Xiao Di, your father and daughter are in charge of our family's fields, mulberry and silk tea, including the ups and downs of the house. These aspects must be sorted out clearly, and the master must know it well. "

Xiaodi started holding the porcelain bowl, blew a little impatiently, and nodded with a smile.The man is the backbone of the family, and his husband-in-law is coming back, the whole family is beaming, and Xiaodi is no exception.

Ming'er said: "Sister Ziqi is in charge of many businesses from Shandong to Liaodong, sister Yufei is in charge of the shops and branches in various places, and sister Ying is in charge of the business in eastern Zhejiang and Nanyang. After the master has rested and tired, you have to ask him to look at them one by one."

When Ming'er was first pregnant, the reaction was stronger than that of the other women. She felt nauseous when she smelled a bit of oil, and she ate very little. Now that she has been pregnant for more than four months, the pregnancy reaction is no longer strong, but the first few The torment of the month has not been slowed down yet, so that the melon-seeded face has been reduced a lot, the chin is pointed, and when I look at it suddenly, there are only two big eyes left on the small face, not like a pregnant woman, but like a pregnant woman. The beautiful girls in the manga are very kawaii.

Ming'er let out a breath, clenched her fists, lightly punched her back twice, and said with a smile: "After the master was ordered to manage Liaodong, Ming'er and his sisters took care of the house. What's wrong, I can't treat the master well. Fortunately, everything is fine at home, and we will have an explanation when the master comes back. By the way, there are also Si Xun and Si Yang's studies, we especially need to take care of them. These two days Urge and hurry up, the master will definitely test their homework when he comes back, don't make these two girls feel timid in front of her father."

When mentioning her two daughters, Su Ying gets angry, probably because she was used to being wild when she was a child, the two girls never cared about learning poetry, singing, playing, chess, calligraphy and painting, but like boys, they like climbing trees and walls, playing and playing Nao, the whole two tomboys, made the teacher so angry that he was blowing his beard and staring all day long. After hearing Ming'er's instructions, Su Ying said: "These two stinky girls, if they are naughty again, I will smash their ass to see if they are still crazy." Crazy!"

Ming'er chuckled lightly and said, "Sister Ying, it's not a good idea. The two of them are just playful, and their temperament is not bad. Like when I was young, my parents and elder brothers never touched a finger of mine. Am I serious about learning things? My third brother, I heard that he refused to study when he was a child, and was often beaten by his father, and the result was as good as..."

Mentioning the third brother, Ming'er's expression was a little sad, she sighed softly, and then showed her face again: "The children have to be in charge, first explain the truth to them clearly, if they are not obedient, they will be fined to stand, otherwise Punish them to skip a meal, as long as you are willing to do it."

"Are the two girls so disobedient? Then I, as an old man, really want to spank their butts. Yinger is not willing to part with it, but I am willing to!"

Suddenly there was a voice at the door, and Ming'er was shocked when she heard the voice, she suddenly raised her head, and standing at the door of Nuan Pavilion with a smile, it was Xia Xun!

"Master!"

Xie Xie, Su Ying, and Xiaodi all cried out in surprise, Ziqi was still agile, rushed over with a stride, and threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly, as if wanting to rub him into his own bones ...

Xia Xun stayed at home for two days. Originally, according to his calculation, he went on the road first and arrived home at least four or five days in advance. As a result, he was delayed in Zhuozhou first. There was another delay, but the guard of honor walking behind did not encounter these troubles. As a result, Xia Xun only spent two days leisurely at home before his team arrived.

Xia Xun was an imperial envoy, and when the imperial envoy returned to Beijing, according to the rules, when returning to Beijing to answer the order, he had to go to the Golden Palace to meet him first, and then returned to pay the order, before returning home.Even if he missed the court meeting when he returned to Beijing that day, he had to live in the post house first, and then he could go home to see his family after waiting for the driver tomorrow.

But Xia Xun went on the road first, the purpose was to see his relatives as soon as possible, and besides, the rules are the rules. In fact, as long as the officials whose families are in the capital, few people are willing to abide by the rules. Xia Xun used to go out on orders, and he came back first In my own home, it has already become the norm.When the guards of honor entered Jinling City, he couldn't delay any longer, so he left the house again, met his guards of honor, and rushed to the Golden Palace to meet him.Jinyi Ye Xiaopin tidying up the Golden Palace, Xia Xun, who had been away from the capital for more than a year, reappeared in the court, paid the order in court, and stated the process of managing Liaodong and his achievements.Zhu Di was full of joy and praised him greatly. Although Xia Xun had been away from the power center for three years, the actual time was more than a year, but his honor and favor remained undiminished. Once he returned to the capital, he came into everyone's attention again.

When the court meeting was over, many scholars, imperial envoys, governors, and ministers who were friendly with Xia Xun were about to gather around to warm up. Mu En came to pass the decree again, and the emperor summoned him in the palace.The adults had no choice but to watch Xia Xun leave with Mu En enviously, and then dispersed on their own, looking for another opportunity to have a banquet with the Duke.

"How does the emperor feel today?"

This sentence can be regarded as a public code in the officialdom. Asking the people around the emperor this question is not actually asking the emperor's mood, but asking the emperor's intentions. Xia Xun knew that when he was in Liaodong, there had been censors impeaching him for being too powerful, recruiting cronies, recruiting party members, and oppressing vassals. Tang Jie's death had already been reported to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies. variable.

Mu En understood with a smile and replied: "Look, servant girl, the emperor is in a good mood."

After hearing this, Xia Xun's heart settled down.

When they arrived at the Jinshen Hall, Xia Xun followed the etiquette to see him. The emperor called him up and gave up his seat. Xia Xun sat on the brocade pier that Mu En had moved over. Lian has seen the details of your memorials but is still not clear about the method of the system of garrison reform and recruitment of soldiers, so you can talk to Lian later.”

In the last few months of Xia Xun's stay in Liaodong, even though he was almost invisible, but he was fully focused on these two companions, and he knew it in his heart, and he made a statement one by one without thinking.

After Zhu Di heard this, he nodded slightly and said: "The method of recruiting troops can be said to have immediate results. It's just that the effect of the reform of the military system will not be known until this autumn."

Xia Xun said firmly: "Your Majesty, although the outcome will not be known until this autumn, I am sure that this matter will be accomplished. I have been in Liaodong these days, and I have already understood clearly that the climate in Liaodong is certainly not as good as that in Guan, but there are many rivers in Liaodong. The abundance of rainfall in the area is much stronger than that of grasslands, so it is still suitable for farming.

In the past, farming was ineffective, mainly because the harvest had nothing to do with oneself. Farmers had no aspirations for this, but the folks were different. Many rural landlords used all their money to buy fields and land. If farming is not beneficial, why would they As for this?However, the military central village has not been harvested every year for 10 years, and the generals of the guards always have to give the court a reason?In order to pay less food, the common people are naturally unwilling to say that they have a good harvest. Therefore, people echo what they say, giving people the illusion that Liaodong is not suitable for home farming. "

Zhu Lin sighed softly, and said: "Because of your case in Liaodong, the Federation has also paid special attention to farming, and specially asked Chen Ying to cooperate with the Ministry of Household Affairs to do some statistical understanding of the farming in the world. I am not very optimistic! Farming is not suitable outside the customs? Hey! Henan, Huaixi and other places are not outside the customs? But after the audit, Lian was shocked!"

Xia Xun put his hands on his knees and listened quietly. Zhu Di said angrily: "Let's not talk about other places, it is these places where military households garrison fields, and the harvest is not enough for half a year's rations. Chen Ying checked carefully, and the farmer If you farm the land, who will carry water for you, irrigate the fields, fertilize and weed the grass? Everyone just sows the seeds and leaves to their fate. Military rations must be distributed."

Speaking of this, Zhu Di frowned and stood up, walking slowly with his hands behind his back: "Therefore, the Federation pays special attention to the transformation of the Liaodong military colony. If it is really effective, it is necessary to reform the system in other places one by one. However, Liaodong has changed grass. It is not yet possible to confirm what the law is. Before the law of the army and the legacy of the ancestors are confirmed, it is not easy for the Union to make major changes.

Liaodong originally had little rice to harvest, and it all depended on the imperial court to use it for reform. Naturally, there is nothing wrong with it, but until it is proven effective, other places cannot follow suit. The scholars also mean the same thing. Food is the most important thing for the people. Agriculture is the foundation of the country, but, thinking about it, even places with fertile land such as Henan and Huaixi are short of harvest every year, United Express!

The imperial government established the system of garrisoning land, originally to not increase the burden on the people, but what happened?Therefore, more and more soldiers are raised, but less and less farmland is planted, and the burden on the people is getting heavier, while millions of acres of fertile land are occupied and harmed by those guards. This situation will continue for at least a year It's fine if you didn't know it before, but now that the mule knows it, how can you bear it? "

Xia Xun asked calmly: "Then what is the emperor's plan?"

Zhu Di said: "The Lian asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to draw up a charter. The Ministry of Household Affairs came up with an idea and reported it to the cabinet. The academicians discussed it carefully. The report and the Lianhe knew that this method was in accordance with the strategy you practiced in Liaodong. A compromise strategy after making some changes, taking advantage of the early spring and March, there is still time, Lenovo will implement it first, you come at the right time, you can listen to it and see if it is feasible."

Xia Xun was a little curious, blinked and said: "I would like to hear the details!"

Zhu Di didn't talk to him one by one, but directly handed the charter written by Xie Jin and others to Xia Xun. Xia Xun opened it up and saw the charter issued by the Ministry of Households, which had been deliberated and revised by Bi Jin and others. , As expected, it was derived from its own Liaodong strategy.

There are two main points in this regulation: one is to change the ratio of sergeants and soldiers stationed in Tianxiawei Station: according to the remoteness and remoteness of the place where the army is stationed, the ratio of soldiers and station husbands is determined.In border and dangerous places, there are more garrisons than garrisons; inland guards, there are more garrisons than garrisons; in places where transportation is difficult although the land is dangerous, there are more garrisons than soldiers.

In addition, the detailed rules for rewards and punishments for farming were formulated, and a line was drawn based on the average land income of the people in various places. The grain production will increase and the harvest will increase. Those who exceed this line will be rewarded to a certain extent, and those who are below this line will be punished. .Although this method does not stimulate the production enthusiasm of the peasants as much as a thorough reform, it is still a method.

In particular, regarding the issue of grain cultivation, if one hastily implements a uniform reformation across the country, but fails to achieve results, it will cause a nationwide turmoil, and even lose the country, so use this safe method first. It will be much safer to increase the output of farmland, wait for the reform of Liaodong to see results, and then carry out reforms in various places.

Xia Xun naturally agrees with this very much, and the reform of this compromise policy has obviously been affected by the Liaodong reform rate. It can be imagined that when the Liaodong harvest is bumper in autumn, the national reform will definitely become an irreversible trend , This is exactly the effect Xia Xun wants to achieve. People will naturally choose it if they take a correct shortcut instead of wasting their lives because of others.

Xia Xun nodded again and again, expressing his approval, Zhu Di couldn't help showing a satisfied smile, and said: "You presided over the reform of the military colony in Liaodong, and you naturally know more about the difficulties and problems encountered in it than others. The edict is implemented, but there is still some uncertainty, since you also said that it is feasible, then it should be good, and the United Nations immediately asked the cabinet to issue the edict to the whole country."

Xia Xun quickly flattered and said, "The emperor is wise!"

Zhu Di chuckled and said, "Wise? You are wise, wise, you have the final say, and stupid, you are also the one who has the final say. Whether you are wise or not is under the control of you courtiers, so you can't help but feel bad."

Xia Xun couldn't help but feel his heart tighten when he heard that there was something in his words, and quickly bowed and said, "The emperor was joking."

"Are you joking?"

Zhu Di glanced at him, and suddenly asked: "I heard from the report from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies that Tang Jie died in Liaodong?" @.
