Baidu otaku as Chongzhen

Chapter 726

Disbanded the platform meeting.

Yang Reform did not go back to Qianqing Palace, but went to Taiye Pool to cool off.

Regarding the matter of the Great Liuqiu, Yang Reform did not want to say it now. Yang Reform originally planned to wait until the food arrived in the capital, so that it would be more lethal. Concerns over food shortages.

After the food incident in the Great Ryukyu came out, there were other things to be done immediately, and it was not a simple food issue.This problem is the problem of upgrading the Great Liuqiu.When immigrating, the division was not so detailed. The immigration officers were all given the treatment of the seventh-rank official, and the specifications were at most county-level. Now Daliuqiu can not only resettle refugees, but also produce food. The food shipped this time is There are 30 stones.If it is a tax of 30 shi, this is already a tax paid by a high-level government. In other words, today's Great Liuqiu can be upgraded to the state capital level.

With the upgrading of the Great Liuqiu, the county level becomes the state level, and the corresponding personnel will also be promoted, from the seventh rank to the fifth rank, sixth rank, and even the fourth rank magistrate.

Yang Reform was thinking about whether it would be better to be promoted to one prefecture, or two prefectures, or several states.This problem actually involves the growth of Enke Jinshi "immigrants" in the first year of my enthronement. They have to have their own team and people in everything they do. "Pai" is undoubtedly his important team. In the days to come, he will gradually replace and occupy some important positions in the Ming Dynasty, laying the necessary foundation for himself to completely control the entire country, instead of compromising everywhere now, with his own tough The team will make it easier for me to promote changes in the future.This group of Enke Jinshi-born officials all have obvious imprints, and they all "started" by relying on immigrants. In the future, they will definitely support immigration and expansion policies more, which is also good for their own expansion.

Yang Reform pondered, the transportation of grain from the Great Ryukyu to Beijing this time can be regarded as a great contribution to alleviate the crisis of food shortage in the north, and it is time to push this vigorous political force onto the stage of history.

Yang Reform remembered Liu Yanyuan, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of War. This guy seemed to be able to catch up with the benefits of this wave of promotion. He didn’t know whether he should be promoted to the eighth or seventh rank this time during his nine-rank inspection. Liu Yanyuan wanted to laugh.

In addition to the promotion of the "immigrant faction" on the Great Liuqiu side, in fact, places such as Dongting Lake will also be upgraded together. This year, the grain bags at lakes such as Dongting Lake have also played a significant role and produced a lot of grain , It still has a considerable effect on alleviating the food shortage throughout the year. If it is calculated by the taxes paid, it should not be a problem to upgrade to a state capital.

Calculated in such a way, at least seven or eight states can be promoted without a problem. This kind of real achievement, and the background of Jinshi, and the emperor is covering it, it is difficult not to be promoted.With so many achievements, it is not difficult to be promoted. Naturally, it is not difficult to move to another place to be an official. Then the follow-up "immigration" officials will be promoted and then moved to other places to be officials. It will take a few years. Bo's Jinshi "immigrant faction" spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, and they were all the backbone.When Yang Reform thinks of this, he feels extraordinarily beautiful in his heart.

Calculated in this way, this year's catastrophic year is actually a bumper harvest year for the "immigrant faction" of Enke Jinshi. The grain production has decreased, and the actual material output has decreased, but it has achieved a huge political harvest.

Meimei thought about it for a while, and Yang Reform wondered whether the promotion and promotion of the "immigrant faction" officials would be hindered, but after thinking about it, he was relieved. This wave of "immigration faction" is all Jinshi. , should have occupied an important position in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, and should have been promoted very quickly. This time, he has made great achievements. The problem of promotion and promotion should not be big. Who would dare to come out to stop it?Facing two or three hundred Jinshi, facing the upstarts who will surely rule the Ming Dynasty in the future, how stupid people are to come out to stop them?

After understanding this matter, Yang Reform was not in a hurry. At first, he was worried that his right-hand man and right-hand man would leave the capital. It would be difficult to do this by himself, but after thinking about it, Yang Reform felt that there was no difficulty. Wait for the new food to enter Beijing, and then get promoted.This can be regarded as having no right-hand man and dealing with a major event alone.My right arm is also getting old, I can't always rely on my right arm to live, and I should be more independent and self-reliant.

……

Han Yu came out of the Forbidden City, looked back, and was most deeply moved. This time the new food came to Beijing, it was not a trivial matter. The turmoil of the Ming Dynasty was beyond his reach. In addition to feeling, he was able to feel, From now on, this Great Ming will be the newcomer's Great Ming and the emperor's Great Ming.

"The general trend..."

"... The trend of the times,... There are talents from generation to generation, old, old..." Han Yu sighed after a while, and just chanted this sentence, and even more lamented that it was a wise choice to turn around by himself.

"Old Ge, why are you old? You are growing old and strong..." Another person next to him heard Han Yu's muttering, and came up to flatter him.

"...Now it's the young people's world, the old man is so old, he can't accept the old..." Han Yu smiled and said with a self-deprecating smile.

The sycophant didn't know what to do next. Seeing Mr. Ge's situation, could it be that something major happened in the capital?

……

The news that the grain of the Great Ryukyu was entering Beijing spread like wildfire.

For the common people, it might just be some food coming to Beijing, more might be out of curiosity, or it might be something to talk about. Although it was also affected to some extent, the shock to the official circles of Ming Dynasty was really not as great as this incident.

Enter Chen Yuting's mansion.

Today's Chen Yuting, as the chief constitution of the Ming Dynasty, is surrounded by some disgruntled censors.

"My lord, Your Majesty spends huge sums of money every now and then. Although it's all money allocated from His Majesty's internal funds, it's all the money of the people. It's a waste, it's heartbreaking..."

"...Yes! Your Majesty the Chief Xian, now that the eastern captives have not been pacified, but His Majesty is anxious to sell the land of Liaodong, but is anxious to engage in the development of Liaodong. He wants to invest a large amount of money in Liaodong. What do you think of this? False..."

"...Yes! Your Majesty, Mr. President, I have to persuade Your Majesty! After getting in touch with people's sentiments in the field, I discovered that this old fool from the countryside dared to sit in a teahouse and talk about the right and wrong of the court. What they don't even know, they actually know, President, this should be taken care of..." another official said.

Chen Yuting sat in the middle of the living room, "seriously" listening to the complaints of these officials, and he was full of complaints and had no place to express them. Who is he?Can manage the emperor?He also tried several times to fight against the emperor, and he was quickly defeated. It is almost impossible for him to fight the emperor with his own strength. The emperor is not afraid of any single minister by nature, not a human being. Everyone dares to spit on the emperor's face, not everyone is Zhang Juzheng, who can dominate the court, so what if it is Zhang Juzheng?In the end, didn't he knock the emperor down with a word?
Listening to the complaints of these officials, Chen Yuting could only treat him as a fart and let him go.In the Ming Dynasty, there was no minister who had benefited from fighting the emperor. If anyone could suppress the emperor, he had to rely on the power of the people in the court. Everything had to be done together, and the power of the people to overwhelm the emperor, so that The emperor obeyed obediently. Even so, the person in charge did not dare to show too many traces, otherwise, when the emperor found a reason that day, he would either get rid of it or get rid of it.If a single person gets involved with the emperor, it will not end well. The supervisor of ceremonies, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang are not vegetarian owners. If they annoy the emperor, the emperor will release these vicious dogs to bite people. The former Zhang Juzheng how?It's not that power is in the hands of the ruling and opposition parties, what is the result?A few years ago, the Donglin Party's Six Gentlemen, Seven Gentlemen, so many high-ranking officials, so many people, annoyed the emperor. Didn't the emperor let out vicious dogs and clean them up?How bad is it?Although he has been rehabilitated now, this person will never be resurrected.

If it is said that now it is necessary to use the power of the people in the court to attack the emperor in groups, Chen Yuting can only laugh at this idea, and fart by the way, just treat it as nonsense and let the exhaust gas out.It's not that this kind of practice has never happened before, it has been used all the time, and it has always been effective, but after the incident of the salt merchants, it is impossible for the court to really attack the emperor in groups. The minister's bones were broken.The court has long been divided into several groups, the emperor firmly controls the imperial party, and the other groups are in remote control, the group cannot move without the emperor, and wants to get tangled up to deal with and suppress the emperor, so that The emperor is obediently controlled and obedient?This is a big joke, including himself, they are all pawns that are secretly controlled by the emperor's remote control, playing small fights with the emperor, making trouble, the emperor feels happy, so he doesn't care about himself, if you really dare If he challenged the emperor on important matters, the emperor couldn't spare him, so why should he be the chief constitution?

Chen Yuting listened to the complaints of these officials "seriously", and felt that these people were really stupid. They still couldn't see the changes in the court, and thought they could unite to suppress the emperor. People who think about such things are probably dreaming.If there is such a big series, he will be the first to inform.

"You all make sense..." Chen Yuting said, at this point, Chen Yuting was blocked, he really wanted to fart.He dared to find some small things to thorn in the emperor, and confronted the emperor about the development of Liaodong. Chen Yuting wanted to plug his ears.

"...There is no need to make a fuss about the foolish people in the countryside talking about state affairs. Now there is a mansion newspaper published all over the world, conveying the government's decrees and laws, and introducing me to the customs and customs of various places in Ming Dynasty. This is a good thing. I am a scholar of Ming Dynasty. Too few, most of them are illiterate, and being able to get literate people to read the newspaper and introduce the world's public opinion is also good for enlightenment..." Chen Yuting picked up this matter and said.He didn't want to talk about the other things.No matter how well he spoke at his house, no matter how well he encouraged him, he would not dare to talk back to the emperor before he had even said a few words in the court.

"But, President, this... the news about the idiot in the village is actually faster than I waited for the court to order the official, and it is more accurate. The lower official thinks it is strange..." The official hurriedly argued that as soon as the mansion report came out, it had already been snatched. They have lost their right to speak, and when those people who read the newspaper spread gossip, their right to speak is weakened even more.

"...Well..., that's just a rural man who read the mansion newspaper and made it up to deceive others. How can the words of a rural man be taken seriously?" Chen Yuting said, and he didn't want to get involved in this matter. What happened?Shouldn't those people who read the newspaper be arrested and questioned?Can I ask if the Chinese language is banned?If this is the case, then Chen Yuting will lose face a lot.

"But, President, you can't leave this matter alone..." the official said hastily.

"How to manage this matter? People read the mansion newspaper, and then they brag and chat together. Could it be that the old man punishes him for gossiping?" Chen Yuting said.

"But, my lord, these people are talking about court affairs..." the official argued.

"The court affairs are written in the mansion newspaper. Since it can be published in the newspaper, why should we be afraid of other people's comments? There is no reason why you can only read it, but not talk about it! This makes the old man difficult..." Chen Yuting refused.

The official was a little angry. He didn't expect to get this answer here.

"The constitution, the Liaodong matter..." Some officials also asked hastily.

Chen Yuting pondered for a long time before saying: "...This is not something we can stop. Your Majesty has spent a lot of effort to do this. Not only has Liaodong been recovered, but hundreds of thousands of disaster victims have to be resettled. You call me old man for this matter." How to say? How to do? Are you not allowed to restore the Liao Dynasty, and not allowed His Majesty to provide disaster relief?"

"Dare to ask my lord! This is not acceptable, and that is not acceptable. Then why do you need this censor?" The official who asked to read the newspaper just now stood up and asked with an unruly attitude.

Chen Yuting's living room immediately fell silent in surprise.All the officials admired this guy's courage, and they fell in love with Chen Yuting. Chen Yuting is the chief constitution, and he is just a seventh-rank official.

Chen Yuting didn't get angry on the spot either. To be able to achieve the position of the chief constitution of the Ming Dynasty, he still has a minimum of self-cultivation and self-cultivation.

Chen Yuting looked around and didn't mean to quarrel with anyone. He had already figured out what he should do and what he shouldn't do. His "predecessor" revealed some words in the recent communication with him. These words The meaning is very simple, if you can't fight the emperor, you can turn your attention to the ministers, the emperor is not aggressive, so is the minister not aggressive?Nowadays, all kinds of super projects are one after another, is there still a cat in the world who is not greedy?Now the emperor is throwing out a huge amount of money. According to the unspoken rules of the Ming Dynasty, how much money does this have to be greedy?There are so many corrupt people in the Ming Dynasty, if you just catch a few, you won’t be wronged. This is why the procuratorate wants to "rise up", revive its glory, and become an awe-inspiring existence. There is no need to blindly make trouble with the emperor to find a sense of presence in the emperor. Couldn't all the officials be caught?
After Chen Yuting received the meaning of "predecessor", he thought about it carefully, and felt that it was indeed reasonable. He was really not sure about letting him fight the emperor. Now the emperor had already divided the court into several factions, and firmly Understood, if you want to attack the emperor in groups, this is just a joke, you can't attack the emperor in groups, with the energy of one person or a few people, even if the emperor doesn't do black hands, it is enough for him to drink a pot. Now the emperor is very smart, isn't it? So easy to fool.If the emperor did something wrong, he might not even have bones.Chen Yuting wasn't so stupid yet, he had already figured out what he could and couldn't do.

Now it is indeed as the "predecessor" said, the huge number of projects are now one after another, will there be no corruption?As far as the core imperial party is concerned, its character is trustworthy, and perhaps there is no such thing as corruption, but what about the others?Especially the faction of Han Yu, whose character is not good enough, and the task of taking over is a matter that costs a lot of money. It is absolutely impossible to catch a few big mice.This is almost a catch-and-shoot approach. Since they are betting their lives and futures against the emperor, they might as well trouble Han Yu. This is the deadly enemy of their faction.

With the advice of his "predecessor", Chen Yuting also figured it out and understood the key points of his work. Therefore, when faced with questions from his officials, he was not so annoyed and did not explode on the spot.

"You wait for one to raise his head too high, and the other to lower his head too low..." Chen Yuting said with a smile.

"...there is only one person at the top, and that is Your Majesty. As the eyes and ears of the censor, we should have the awareness of eyes and ears. We don't have to do everything according to the requirements of eyes and ears. What are you ministers doing? I'll wait for the censor and just do what I should do..."

"...you keep your eyes on the large number of ordinary people, can you manage it? The local government offices will only say that we are all meddling with dogs and mice. If our Yushitai is really so idle, this is the procuratorate. It should have been eradicated long ago..."

The faces of several officials who were taught by Chen Yuting turned red. They are the ones that Chen Yuting said are the ones whose eyes and ears direct their brains.Hearing Chen Yuting say that the dog takes the mouse again, he fixed his eyes on the official who dared to question Chen Yuting. This is indeed a bit of a dog taking the mouse. At most, this is the job of the yamen servants. What is it if a dog takes a mouse?If you really have that free time, you might as well drink a cup of tea at home.There are so many people in the world, so many state capitals, can they manage it?
"...We wait for the Metropolitan Procuratorate to serve as His Majesty's eyes and ears. What we see and hear should be reported. This is the right way, and it is our duty....For the important affairs of the court, there is naturally Your Majesty, and there is the court." If there is a mistake in the handling of the gentlemen, I will try my best to correct it. This is also my duty, and there is nothing wrong with it..." Chen Yuting said.

"...But I, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, should only focus on this? I don't need to do other things? I impeach the treacherous ministers, the villains form the party, make power and disorder the government, and impeach the officials for corruption and bad official discipline. Don't care about these? Speaking of which, this is also the main responsibility of my Metropolitan Procuratorate..." Chen Yuting said slowly.

"What does the President mean? Tell me to keep my eyes on the officials?" Someone came back to his senses. Just now, Chen Yuting said that one of them kept his eyes on the sky and the other on the ground, but none of them looked in the middle.

"That's right, the reason for this can only be understood, not explained in words, so I won't say any more. If you can understand it, you can experience it yourself. If you can't understand it, don't talk about it outside..." Chen Yuting said Instead of being annoyed because someone contradicted him, he began to unify the thinking of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and change the direction of attack of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He wanted to choose the right direction.

Some clever officials figured out the trick very quickly. This is indeed reasonable. There are only so many people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and they all stare at the emperor. As for the two hundred people, the emperor listened to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he was too busy, and it was unrealistic to stare at the common people. The common people are all over the world. How can they keep an eye on them? Only the officials between the emperor and the common people are just right. It was enough for them to stare, especially when someone thought of the grievances between this faction and a certain faction, and they understood what Chen Yuting said.

There are also those who are not so smart, who haven't understood the meaning of Chen Yuting's words for a long time, and look around, they all seem to understand the meaning, but it's hard to say that they don't understand anything, so they have to pretend to understand.

The official who questioned Chen Yuting before was still about to question him again, but the officer beside him kept tugging at his sleeves. He wanted to speak several times, but he didn't have a chance.But I heard someone shouting outside.

"My lord, my lord..." There was a hurried voice outside the door, and Chen Yuting's living room immediately became quiet, and he wanted to see what was going on in such a hurry.

"What happened? So anxious?" Chen Yuting asked quickly.

"My lord, the news just came from the palace, big news, the food from Daliuqiu is coming to the capital..." The person who ran in was also dressed as an official, and because he ran in a hurry, in this weather, he had already left. He was sweating all over, and as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't stop sweating while looking for a teapot.

"The food from the Great Ryukyu is going to Beijing?" Chen Yuting didn't realize what was going on for a while. What's the fuss about food coming to Beijing?

"My lord! It is said that there are 30 shi in the first batch... and they will arrive in Beijing in a few days. This is what His Majesty said personally. Now I am afraid that the whole city of Beijing has spread the word..." The official drank a few Sip tea and continue talking.

"30 shi? This is not a small amount!" Chen Yuting finally exclaimed in surprise. The number of 30 stone instantly made him understand the meaning of it.

"My lord, yes! Now the official circles in the capital are discussing this matter..." The official wiped his face and said.

"It's really a big deal, it's really a big deal!" Chen Yuting understood in an instant that it was really not a matter of food. The emperor did what he said. Did the emperor promise Liu Yanyuan, the former Minister of the Ministry of War, to let him go from the ninth rank again? The official got up, implying that it is extremely easy to be promoted in Daliuqiu. At the beginning, many people were skeptical about this, but now that the food in Daliuqiu enters Beijing, it is difficult to think about whether to be promoted.This Jinshi background, plus the merits of immigration, plus enough taxes, all of these are for promotion.The group of Emperor Enke Scholars of the previous year suddenly rose up and stood at the backbone of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.If this continues, the impact on the court can be said to be far-reaching.Chen Yuting suddenly felt that he should be glad that he had listened to the words of his "predecessor", did not continue to fight to the death with the emperor, and turned his direction in time, otherwise, if he fought with the emperor indiscriminately, he might not know how he died.

In the living room, there are smart people who have figured out what this means.It is also shocking, this was so far away before, but now it is so close at hand, it is really surprising.

"My lord, what is the big deal? Although 30 shi of grain was transported to Beijing, it can be regarded as slightly alleviating the lack of food in the capital, but now that the summer grain harvest is imminent, it is not a big deal..." Someone asked Not understanding the reason, he asked.

"Master Zhang, do you still remember the matter of Liu Yanyuan, the former minister of the Ministry of War?" Someone saw that this guy hadn't enlightened yet, so he immediately reminded him.

"Ah! Uh... this..." The man understood instantly, and he was so surprised.

In the living room, there was surprise.

"This 30 shi is really not much food, and it doesn't have much impact on the world, but it is definitely a big event for my Ming Dynasty officialdom..." Chen Yuting said with a sigh, an important one, The political forces that can influence the future of Ming Dynasty are about to come into play.

"The General Constitution..."

"The General Constitution..."

Someone asked Chen Yuting uneasily what he meant. Chen Yuting was the leader of their faction, so it was natural to ask him what he meant.

"Awesome..., awesome!..." Chen Yuting said.These Enke Scholars in the first year of Chongzhen will reach the high positions of fourth and fifth ranks all at once. With the emperor's large-scale investment, it is only a very simple matter to achieve results, and it is not difficult at all to go up, that is to say, It is almost certain that these people occupy the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty, and these people are from Enke Scholars, and they are all from "immigrant" backgrounds. This is almost a natural "imperial party"!When this matter was settled before, who would have thought so much?Only when the truth came to light now did I feel how scary he was.If His Majesty had been prevented from doing this early, perhaps this would not have happened today.Chen Yuting thought.

The officer on the side who kept contradicting and questioning Chen Yuting saw that everyone was behaving abnormally, so he hurriedly asked his companion, who was also a shrewd person, and immediately explained the reason to him. And no longer come out to question and contradict Chen Yuting, this is really a major event in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.When he brought up that matter, he actually pointed the finger at the emperor, but seeing that the emperor's calmness caused a storm in Daming's officialdom, he felt that his little thoughtfulness might really be unnecessary It would be embarrassing to take it out, no matter how dull he is, he should understand the impact of this incident on Daming's officialdom.The little things he mentioned were really trivial things, not much different from a dog catching a mouse.

……

The next day.

The headline on the front page of the mansion newspaper is that the food from the Great Liuqiu is about to enter Beijing...

[A few words: Thanks to the book friend "Flying & Stone" for the reminder, I corrected a mistake, the otaku confused the summer harvest time with the summer tax time, I am really sweating,...Chapter 720 has been revised, and the The harvest of summer grain was changed to summer tax storage, and the waiting grain was changed to buying grain.Book friends are welcome to criticize, and otaku will definitely correct it. 】
