Baidu otaku as Chongzhen

Chapter 440 Plan
The winter moon of the first year of Chongzhen.

The snow came very quickly, and the entire capital city was covered with thick white snow overnight.

These days, Yang Reform is bored in the warm pavilion all day long, not coming out, only seeing some important officials occasionally.

The chief assistant Shi Fenglai was wearing thick clothes, but still felt chilly all over, the north wind was blowing too cold, so he kept rubbing his hands to drive away the chill.These days, due to the heavy snow, the emperor did not go to court early, and the emperor did not even go to the Wenhua Palace. If something happened, the cabinet would handle it by himself. If he couldn't come out, Shi Feng came to see the day and thought it made sense, he didn't want to go out even if there was nothing to do.

"Your Majesty, Shi Shoufu is here." It was very warm inside the warm pavilion, and Yang Reform was only wearing autumn clothes, which was in contrast to those outside who were wearing thick cotton coats.

"Let him in." Yang Reform said after tidying up the things on the warming bed.

"Obey!" Wang Chengen agreed and went out.

Shi Fenglai entered the Qianqing Palace, and immediately felt much warmer, so he took off his overcoat, and then entered the East Nuan Pavilion.

"Long live my emperor..." Shi Fenglai saluted first.

"Shoufu, get up." Yang Reform said indifferently, the torment of these days is finally not in vain, and he has a way to face the future against his fate, and he is no longer fanatical about wishful thinking and rampage.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Shi Fenglai stood up.

"Have you dealt with all the political affairs?" Yang Reform asked indifferently.

In the face of this majestic emperor, Shi Fenglai became less and less courageous, and his actions became more and more well-regulated. He used to have the courage to deal with some "big things", but now, he can't wait to take all the trivial matters to the emperor. Because this matter involves complicated relationships, it can make people think of many things, but obviously, the emperor is not interested in many things, so they have to be handled by their cabinet ministers.

"Back to Your Majesty, basically everything has been dealt with, there are only three things that I can't deal with, so please ask Your Majesty to order!" Shi Fenglai said.

"Oh, where's the memorial? I'll take a look." Yang Reform said.

Wang Chengen quickly handed over the memorial.

Yang Reform flipped through the pages, sometimes frowning, and sometimes drawing on the "scratch paper" with a pen, as if he was writing something, but in fact it was nothing worth counting. This kind of year after year can be compared to last year and the year before last. , The old year, or even N years ago, the accounts are not worth looking at, and the accounts are made according to this every year, and there is nothing new at all.

Shi Fenglai stood there, blankly waiting for the emperor to read the memorial.

After a while, the emperor seemed to have finished reading it, and Shi Fenglai was relieved. It seemed that the problem was not too big.

Yang Reform moved the memorabilia to the side. Do you still have to read this kind of accounts that have been the same for thousands of years?Looking at Shi Fenglai indifferently, the sufferings of these days are not in vain, and he already has some general steps. Now, he is going to implement these steps one by one, and said: "Shoufu, sit down." Yang Reform said suddenly.

Facing the emperor's sudden preferential treatment, Shi Fenglai was terrified and evaded again and again: "Before Your Majesty, there is a place for ministers to sit. I dare not, dare not..."

"Hehehe, I have heard rumors that there is an imperial party in the court. I don't know if Shi Shoufu knows?" Yang Reform asked with a flat smile.

Imperial Party?Although Shi Fenglai usually called himself the imperial party, it was the first time that the word and words of the imperial party were uttered from the emperor's mouth in such a face-to-face manner.What's wrong with the emperor?Isn't the imperial party the emperor's men?Your Majesty still asks?Shi Fenglai immediately became anxious.

"Return to Your Majesty, I know..." Shi Fenglai was afraid and said helplessly, for fear that his answer would cause him trouble.

"What does the imperial party do?" Yang Reform asked again with a smile.

"Return to Your Majesty, the Emperor's Party..., the Emperor's Party..., the Emperor's Party follows His Majesty, works for His Majesty, and acts according to His Majesty's will..." Shi Fenglai spoke intermittently, and couldn't continue speaking.Forming a party is a taboo in the imperial court. In private, everyone says who is the party, but they say it in private. If you really want to say it in the open, it is no different from impeachment and attacking others. Although the imperial party is the imperial party under the emperor, But... Shi Fenglai always felt terrible.

"Is the first assistant an imperial party?" Yang Reform asked again.

"Return to Your Majesty, my minister!" This time, Shi Fenglai immediately agreed. If he still hesitated about this, he doubted that the emperor would immediately tell him to leave. As the emperor, perhaps with his ordinary ability, he may also be able to achieve a good reputation handed down from generation to generation.

"Hehehe, good! Just remember the chief assistant. The imperial party is the imperial party that works for me, opens eyes for me, and shares worries for me. It must take my will as its will. If I want to go east, the imperial party will never go Xi, this is the imperial party, the chief assistant must not forget this." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"I know!" Shi Fenglai saw that the emperor's expression had been softened, and then he let go of his tense thoughts.

"Sit down!" Yang Reform said again.

Shi Fenglai only hesitated for a moment this time, and sat down immediately without any refusal. What the emperor said just now was not for nothing. If he wants to go east, he cannot go west. The emperor told him to sit down. Standing, isn't that making yourself uncomfortable?

Yang Reform looked at the Shoufu sitting on the round stool in a "well-behaved manner", and smiled again: "Actually, I called the Shoufu today because I wanted to talk to the Shoufu about the strategy of governing the country." Yang Reform was quite satisfied with Shi Fenglai's performance , although this shoufu is an uninitiated, a shoufu who has no courage, insight, and courage, but fortunately here, he dare not make decisions on his own, and he has to listen to his own opinions on many things, especially It is in the general direction, which can be easily grasped by oneself, so, speaking of it, this is still a good first assistant, far better than that kind of first assistant with strong "principles" and "personality".

"Please show your Majesty!" Shi Fenglai said with his head lowered.

"In the past few years since the Ming Dynasty, I have fought wars for almost consecutive years, coupled with continuous natural disasters, which can be said to have hurt my vitality. I am thinking, how can this situation be changed..." Yang Reform thought for a while and said, these days, Yang Reform has been deducing that matter, deduction comes, deduction goes, Yang Reform suddenly found that he only deduced the results of the deduction to cut Shanxi merchants, cut salt merchants, collect tariffs, and then collect a large sum of money and it's over.In fact, as an emperor, I ignore too many things. As an emperor, the vision should have the vision of the emperor, and should not be limited to the perspective of a hater. It's not the purpose, it's just the means, and the time, it's not when the Shanxi merchants are killed or the salt merchants are killed, it's over, this is not a game, you can clear the level after defeating the big boss, and everything will be fine, there is no more to play, in this reality In the world, this is not the end, it is just a process, a starting point, and time will continue, but my deduction is only until the Shanxi merchants and the salt merchants are finished, and I get a sum of money every year. A huge mistake is a huge loophole. No matter how smoothly I cut down salt merchants, cut down Shanxi merchants, and collected tariffs, I didn't make a transition, didn't think about what happened after I finished these things, and ignored it. What should I do after killing Shanxi merchants and salt merchants? Undoubtedly, this is a short-sighted emperor, an emperor who does things without rules, and an unqualified emperor. If you don't think clearly about the ins and outs of these things, yesterday, today, and tomorrow, if you blindly act recklessly, you may not be able to afford to hurt yourself.

This is also why Yang Reform has been suffering, confused, and unable to understand his thoughts these days. He didn't think about those things in a comprehensive way, but only regarded those things as his biggest obstacles, but he never thought about what he would do after removing the obstacles. , what to do when you move away.I only thought about a showdown with the bureaucracy class, and I might get huge benefits, but I never thought about where I would take this empire once the showdown happened.Once there is a showdown, there will be a huge break in the empire, and rights, rules, traditions, habits, etc. will mix together to form a huge break.How to make up for this break in time?How to take advantage of the break and launch your own policies and rules in a timely manner?How to let the empire move forward according to its own will and the path designed by itself, this is undoubtedly a huge, new problem, and it is also a very important problem.If you don't think about these issues clearly, you will naturally not be able to understand your thoughts, and you will definitely be confused and suffer.The problem now is that I don't have such a mature idea, I haven't designed a feasible way for the Ming Empire, and I don't even have a basic idea. Just keep pressing on yourself.

Ignoring this issue, just thinking about killing salt merchants and Shanxi merchants, this is short-sighted, this is a fool, who did not design a path for the empire, did not choose a direction for the empire, and did not even have the most basic idea, and hurriedly cut Shanxi merchants, cutting salt merchants, and breaking with the entire bureaucratic class, no doubt, this is very stupid. After cutting down the Shanxi merchants, the salt merchants realized that they got nothing except some silver, and the whole empire still followed his original rules. The line was slipping, sliding towards the abyss of hell, but because of my own efforts, it stopped for a while.

After thinking about this problem, Yang Reform's vision suddenly became brighter, and his people changed. He was no longer annoyed by those salt merchants, those Shanxi merchants, and those privileged classes who did not pay taxes. bone.Instead, start your own planning, prepare for the break after the connection, design the direction and path for the future of the empire.Doing a good job of connecting at the time of the break and after the break is the most important thing for me at present.With these well-designed various connections, the breakup will become natural and smoother, rather than the violent one I imagined, the sky would fall apart, and the Ming Empire would not return to the old road.All kinds of good connections will allow the Ming Empire to move forward in the direction of its own design after the break, instead of sliding into the abyss of hell step by step and into the strange circle of history.

The vision of seeing things is higher. When deduced originally, many things were jerky, unsmooth, and too blunt, but now they have become smooth, transparent, and unhidden.

This is why Yang Reform made an appointment to meet with important ministers. Shi Fenglai, as the chief assistant, naturally had to consider many things that must be related to him.

"Your Majesty, now that His Majesty in Quannai is wise enough to expel the barbarians from the north and secure the army and civilians, His Majesty is indeed a holy master comparable to Shun Yao!" Seeing this matter, Shi Fenglai immediately flattered him. It seems that it is definitely not flattery, tens of millions of taels of silver to stabilize the victims, the emperor has done it, reissued the short ring, and sent cotton clothes. These emperors have done it. Yes, and there is no moisture, so Shi Feng said this sentence with confidence.

"Hehe, Shoufu doesn't need to praise me so much. I know what's going on inside. I want to ask, has Shoufu ever thought that the Eastern Prisoners were not completely defeated, and that the natural disaster will return next year? Has Shi Shoufu thought about it? Do these things as the core and focus of work in the next few years? Design an overall thinking for yourself to deal with these natural disasters and foreign invasions? And then gradually implement your own policies and ideas according to this thinking?" Yang Reform stared at Shi Fenglai, watching looking into his eyes.

Shi Fenglai was already on pins and needles, thinking about the things the emperor had done, one of which he thought was a big deal, and one of which was entrusted to him, he felt strenuous, difficult, and impossible to do, but the emperor asked him to do it for a few years. , and even thinking about these major events more than ten years later, Shi Fenglai's mind has gone blank.

Looking at Shi Fenglai's frightened and uneasy eyes, Yang Reform said with a smile: "Shoufu don't need to panic, what I said is the truth, I said a long time ago that this natural disaster will last for more than ten years, did Shoufu forget? So Said that immigration may last for more than ten years, which is foreseeable. Moreover, although I won a small victory this year, Donglu did not hurt his vitality. It was just because of the weather that he had to It's just a withdrawal, so in the next few years, or even more than ten years, Donglu will still be my mortal enemy of Daming, these are not difficult to predict! That's why I asked this question." Yang Reform continued to stare at Shi Fenglai, laughing said.

Shi Fenglai was already sweating profusely. This year's emigration cost tens of millions of taels. He didn't know exactly how much money he spent fighting the Eastern Captives, but he also knew that it was definitely not a small number. It might be several million taels. Not counting the new army trained by the emperor to deal with the Eastern captives, the cost for one year alone was more than 2000 million taels.It is a miracle that it can survive this year, but the emperor still said that it will be like this every year in the future.Thinking of the huge mountain of silver, Shi Fenglai's sweat kept breaking out. There can be a miracle this year, but can there be a miracle every year?For the first time, Shi Fenglai felt that without the emperor covering him, he would not be able to work for a day as the chief assistant.

Thinking about what the emperor said, there will be natural disasters in the next ten years. This almost god-like prophecy gave Shi Fenglai some courage to look at the emperor again. Maybe it's different...

"Your Majesty is stupid and failed to share your worries. Please punish your Majesty!" Shi Fenglai thought of the emperor's god-like prophecy and the methods used by the emperor to get money. That is, there will always be an emperor above me, don't let those "annoying things" find me, I can't handle any of those things.

"...As an imperial party, you can only follow your majesty closely, and follow your majesty closely. I don't think too much about the rest. As an imperial party, your majesty tells me to go east, and I will never go west. Your majesty Whatever you ask me to do, I will do whatever you want." Shi Fenglai thought about the reason why he was able to be the chief assistant, and said immediately.

"Hehe, okay, it's good that the first assistant can understand, but don't underestimate yourself. Regarding the matter I said, you can think about the matter of the first assistant when you have nothing to do. Let's see how the cabinet will deal with those things in the next few years." Focus on things as the key points and pay attention to them. Put money, manpower, material resources, and mental energy into these aspects. You have to start small. When the chief assistant is free, you can think about it... Of course, this matter , Shoufu has to be careful to keep it secret, remember that this is the banned Chinese language between you and me, and the consequences of the theft of the forbidden Chinese language, I think the first assistant should understand." Yang Reform said with a smile, regarding some future measures, Yang Reform I already have some preliminary ideas, and now, I give my chief assistant a briefing, hoping that he will be able to understand that he is the emperor, and it is best to point out the country. The specific details and the specific process are too cumbersome, so I don’t have to worry too much. Get in too much.

Shi Fenglai saw the emperor smiling confidently, and the confidence in his heart returned. Although the emperor scared him enough, but as long as the emperor is covering his head, what else is he afraid of?Immediately said: "The minister obeys the order!" From Shi Feng's point of view, it was the emperor who gave him a briefing. There may be such big movements as this year next year, such as immigration, such as war, so say hello in advance and make many arrangements for next year , You have to pay more attention to these aspects. Thinking of this, Shi Fenglai is already full of confidence.

"Big Companion, it's getting cold. Add a cloak to Shoufu, and Shoufu will wear it home like this. It's a gift from me." Yang Reform said to Shi Feng with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward, thank you for your long grace!" Shi Fenglai immediately thanked him, it was rare for the emperor to give something to others casually, not for great merit, not for great joy, but no one was rewarded.

Shi Feng came and left.

But Yang Reform was thinking again, what should he plan, is the steel output?Coal production?Or industrial power, industrial output value?What I need is a plan with specific action goals and steps, to achieve the goal step by step according to the plan, step by step, and a set of people who can implement the goals I set. This is the basis for changing the entire history, not Kill some people, copy some houses, get some money, win some battles, you must have a system, you must have a brand new system, instead of following the conventions and traditions that have been formed since 2000, and deal with it step by step year after year , a continuous loop of history.

Do not!My first plan should be the production of sweet potatoes. I should take the production of sweet potatoes as my top priority. Thinking that sweet potatoes are about to change the world and become a witness of history, Yang Reform couldn't help laughing.
