Baidu otaku as Chongzhen

Chapter 761

The weather has cooled down, even a little bit cold.

The clothes on his body also began to thicken.

Yang Reform's complexion today is extremely good.

These days, the news is full of good news.

Humming an unknown tune, let the eunuchs and maids serve.

"Big companion, is there anything important today?" Yang Reform asked very proudly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, today we discussed the establishment of government offices and relevant officials in newly reclaimed lands such as Daliuqiu and Dongting Lake..." Wang Chengen immediately reported the matters to be dealt with today. This is definitely a very important matter. It marks that the emperor is gradually taking control of the entire Ming Dynasty.

"...Mmm..." Yang Reform smiled beautifully and nodded.In the past, it was planning, dividing, and seeking local opinions, but now, it is formally determining the administrative scope and area.

"Is there anything else?" Yang Reform asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, and Master Sun's report, which was delivered last night, because it was not an urgent report, so I did not disturb Your Majesty..." Wang Chengen said again, his face beaming with joy.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Sun Chengzong's report was not an urgent report?That's a general matter, Yang Reform asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, Liaodong has a great harvest. There are so many sweet potatoes that the warehouse can't hold them..." Wang Chengen immediately said with a smile.

"Oh,...is that so? Come and show me..." Yang Reform was a little surprised. Although he knew that Sun Chengzong's harvest was good, Yang Reform was pleasantly surprised when he received the official report.

Yang Reform held the memorial and looked at it, but the joy on his face could not be restrained and showed naturally.

While speaking, Yang Reform was already fully dressed.

Yang Reform walked happily into the Wenhua Palace.

After some salutations, we soon began to get down to business.

"Is there anything to play today?" Yang Reform asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to report..." Shi Fenglai took the emperor's words very actively.

"Okay, let's talk..." Yang Reformed.

"I report to Your Majesty about the establishment of government offices in Daliuqiu, Dongting Lake and other places, and the appointment of relevant personnel. Earlier, Your Majesty ordered the ministers to plan the area and investigate the achievements of the relevant personnel. The investigation has been correct..." Shi Fenglai led and said .He was the one who took the lead in this matter before, and now, of course, he has to take the lead in talking about this matter. Although it is a bit face-to-face, the first assistant is the first assistant, and this position is always there.

"Oh, has everything been planned? Hurry up and show it to me..." Yang Reform said happily.Of course, this must be a cutscene. How to set up states and counties is actually handled by Yang Reform himself. To put it more bluntly, this plan is from the hands of Yang Reform... Of course, the necessary cutscenes are also very important. , is indispensable, although people in the know may find it a bit disgusting and hypocritical...

"I obey the order!" Shi Fenglai hastily presented a thicker notebook.

Yang Reform got the notebook and started to open it. He scanned it at a speed of ten lines at a glance. Most of the things in it were written by Yang Reform. Of course, Yang Reform is very familiar with it, so he must just glance at it.

"Well, that's right, the two prefectures and five counties of the Great Liuqiu...the two prefectures and three counties over Dongting Lake...let's take a look, too..." Yang Reform passed the book to everyone after scanning.

Everyone present knew exactly what was going on. This matter had already been settled earlier, so what else could they say?What else can you do besides pretending to make a statement?Enke Jinshi was born, and he made achievements in an aboveboard manner, and that one was for promotion.

The book of setting up states and counties and selecting personnel was quickly circulated among the ministers.

Seeing that it was almost done, Yang Reform put his hand on it, indicating that he was about to speak.

All the ministers fell silent and looked at the emperor.

"Shi Qing's family, just tell me how to set it up..." Yang Reform said.

"According to the order! Your Majesty, according to the terrain of the mountains and rivers, the distribution of the population, and the situation of food distribution, the ministers believe that there should be two states and five counties in the Great Liuqiu, including one state in the north and the south, and five counties in the north, two, and south. There are two thousand households in the north and the south guarding the area... Besides, because the Great Liuqiu is located on the sea, almost all the guarantee of safety depends on the strength of the navy. The ministers thought that a naval inspection should be set up to take charge of the maritime safety of the Great Liuqiu... ..." Shi Fenglai immediately said what he had prepared.

Yang Reform nodded in satisfaction.Yang Reform finally decided to make Taiwan into two states. Yang Reform is not ready to make Taiwan into a separate government for the time being. After all, his team members still need time to grow, and it is too early to fix Taiwan into a government. It is good for their growth. Anyway, with the wealth there, they will be upgraded in two or three years.

Yang Reform still decided to follow the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty and set up a local defense institution like the Qianhusuo. Although the Guards Army at the end of the Ming Dynasty was unusable, it was also a place for retired soldiers. Those who wanted to retire, Military officers who don't want to be civil servants or civil servants can arrange this position for them.Actually speaking, it is not that the soldiers in the guards are unusable, but that the same land cannot accommodate more people. The farmland and sites of the guards were actually set in the early Ming Dynasty. Before there was revolutionary progress, there was a limit to how many people the land could support. However, by the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the population had not increased much, but the land was still the original land. This conflict was what really caused the Wei The reason for the decline of the army's ability is that although the history of the late Ming Dynasty has always described the guard army as unusable, in reality, this guard system is still functioning. Yang Reform is now planning to expand, and there is a place Splurge, so I decided to continue to use this guard system.

The Weisuo system still plays a considerable role in overseas expansion. Western colonization actually starts with occupying a territory and building a fortress. In fact, it is another version of the Weisuo system.The reform of the guards is actually more about "relocating" the already overcrowded guards, strengthening the ability of new guards such as overseas and outside the customs, diluting the density of the current guards, especially the front line of the Great Wall, and then working full-time army instead.

After hearing this, the ministers were all silent. This matter has been settled long ago, and now it is just a formality.Of course, this cutscene is a bit uncomfortable.

Setting up prefectures and counties and setting up guards, there is really nothing to say about this, but the inspection department, everyone will understand after hearing it, isn't this prepared for Liu Yanyuan, the former minister of the Ministry of War?Is this guy really going to climb up again from the ninth grade official?That was a record for the Ming Dynasty.

Many ministers were very upset, but they couldn't say it. Anyway, this Liu Yanyuan was also a colleague at the beginning. He fell from the high position of Shangshu to the ninth rank official. It is already miserable enough. Is this too much?

"Your Majesty, is it too high for this inspection position to be given to rank seven? The inspections in the whole world are only rank nine..." Immediately another minister stood up to find fault.Liu Yanyuan went to Daliuqiu as an inspector, and the emperor promised him to rise up again, and he was raised upright, so that he could wash away the shame of the past. Everyone knows this... People will be despised if they fall into trouble. Although it is not worth it, it will not Let him rise so easily.

"Well, that makes sense..." Yang Reformed said, and then looked at Shi Fenglai, meaning to let him explain himself.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that the Great Liuqiu is isolated overseas, and the situation in the mainland is very different. The situation in the mainland cannot be used to infer the overseas affairs. The overseas situation is special, and special measures should be taken to deal with the special situation... ..., now there are millions of people in my Ming Dynasty over there, and it is also the granary of my dynasty. How can my dynasty not pay attention to it? This inspection is responsible for the maritime safety of the two states and five counties of the Great Liuqiu. Naturally, the strength of its navy cannot be exceeded Xiao, otherwise, how can we defend the state? Besides, if the grade is too low, it is not easy to get along with the state..." Shi Fenglai said immediately, he is very good at this kind of play that has been rehearsed countless times, and he is not afraid at all.

"Well, it makes sense. The Great Liuqiu is now an important granary for our dynasty, and there are millions of people. Naturally, safety must be taken seriously. Apart from the harassment of the local natives, the safety of the Great Liuqiu is mostly from the sea. Threats, it is inevitable to have a certain amount of naval power to ensure safety, and this patrol inspection should also be established. As for the official rank, it should not be too low, and it should not be determined according to the rank of the mainland. Special circumstances should be dealt with in a special way. measures, isn't it?" Yang Reform said.

The officials were silent, and this reason was justified.

The bosses were unwilling to talk, and those with a lower level were not easy to step on, so the matter passed like this.

After talking about the setting of the Great Liuqiu, we started to talk about the setting of Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake. No wait.Yang Reform has obtained quotas for six states in total, which is not a small bumper harvest.

After talking about the settings of these places, Yang Reform decided to share another matter with the ministers.

"Today, my Ming Dynasty newly established many prefectures and counties. It is indeed a rare happy event. Let me add another happy event to make this good event come in pairs..." Yang Reform said happily.

"I would like to hear about it..." Shi Fenglai said immediately.

"...News from master grandson of Guan's grandson..." Yang Reform put off the news and kept silent on purpose.

"Your Majesty, another victory outside the pass..." The officials saw that the emperor was in good spirits, and heard that it was from outside the pass. The first thing they thought of was another victory. Now winning battles has become the norm, and losing is the big deal. .

"That's right! Your Majesty, we have gained something outside the timed pass..." Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, the officials also guessed.

"...No, no, no, it's not that the military has made any big moves, but Master Sun came to play, saying that the sweet potatoes planted outside the customs have had a bumper harvest this year, which has greatly alleviated the suffering of food shortage outside the customs. It's a good thing to celebrate..." Yang Reform said.Yang Reform is very proud of setting up the administrative management structure of Daliuqiu, Dongting Lake, Poyang Lake and other places today. The news of another bumper harvest in Liaodong is indeed a rare double happiness. , It has basically appeared that once this big granary is formed, that is to say, the entire Ming Dynasty, from south to north, has three large grain production belts, or grain bases, in its own hands.With these grain bases, relying on convenient water transportation, I can kill any grain merchants in the Ming Dynasty, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, or I can snipe the grain prices in a certain place. For stabilizing grain prices, has a vital role.This is not relying on the administration or the emperor's order, nor is it relying on the Jin Yiwei's black hands, but relying on the food in his own hands, using business to business, and using business strategies to kill. The formation of this ability has a strong impact on Yang Reform's waist. Before these grain bases took shape, Yang Reform had a lot of worries, his hands were tied, and he couldn't let go of his hands and feet to do things. Now that these grain bases have formed, the feeling of being tied up has gone, and Yang Reform's words have also gone. Unconsciously, it became a little heavier. The previous situation of trying to compromise, constantly compromising, and only compromising, has greatly improved.

The use of commercial means to kill grain merchants undoubtedly gave Yang Reform a commercial trump card. The use of this trump card is different from the effect obtained by using imperial power and government administrative power. The trump card on the court can be an effective deterrent without worrying about courtiers rebounding.From business to business, the ministers can't say anything.With this card, the operability and flexibility of Yang's reform have been greatly improved, and his work is even more silent.

Yang Reform has always believed that "with food in hand, there is no panic in the heart", and he has always regarded this as a top priority.

The ministers peeked at each other. This is indeed a good thing. It is of great benefit to Daming and the emperor, but it seems to be of no benefit to everyone. The emperor's words are getting tougher and more "dominant". They all have feelings, so why be stubborn?Why domineering?Based on these.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty..., I have another granary..." Shi Fenglai didn't care how domineering the emperor was, he relied on the emperor for his existence, and the domineering emperor was a good thing for him.

The helplessness of the ministers, the emperor has money, food, soldiers, justice, reputation, and is very smart. This is a good thing for the emperor, and it is indeed their nightmare...

"Congratulations, Your Majesty..." Han Yu also stood up and said without thinking too much.Now that he has chosen this path, he decides to keep going.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty..." The other ministers followed suit.

In the court hall, there was a very harmonious scene.

"Same joy, same joy..." Looking at the ministers below, Yang Reform felt very proud. The establishment of the three large granaries in the North and South Middle Schools marked that he had the best capital to fight against the "natural disasters" in the late Ming Dynasty. If your wings are hard enough, then you can fly according to your own ideas.In the "natural disasters" at the end of the Ming Dynasty, natural disasters were a factor, but there were also many man-made disasters. The effective weapon to really deal with "man-made disasters" is now finally available.

……

scattered toward.

As soon as Han Yu returned to the mansion, someone "followed" him. Today's small court meeting, the emperor was promoted to Liu Yanyuan's official position, and none of the big bosses came out to stop him. understand.

"Master Ge, why did you let Liu Yanyuan pass the customs so easily?..." Several officials who came to Han Yu's residence asked hurriedly.

"...Yes! Elder Ge, although Liu Yanyuan is also an imperial party, he and we are not on the same side, and there was not much friction at the beginning... Elder Ge, today is a good time to stop him! Why... ..." another official asked.

"...Yes! Elder Ge, is it true that Liu Yanyuan is really going to be promoted again?" Some officials also asked in puzzlement.

Han Yu, on the other hand, remained silent, staring straight at the sky outside the door, sighing secretly, maybe he is really too old, he will not live to that day, and I feel it is a pity, if he gave birth to a 20-year-old late In the past year, he would definitely be able to see a brilliant Ming Dynasty, but now, if he can live an extra day, it is all earned, and the unwillingness in his heart is extremely strong.

"Old man..."

"Ge Lao..." Several officials were talking, seeing that Han Yu was distracted, they quickly reminded him.

"Oh..." Han Yu let out a long sigh.Of course, he was very clear about what these people were saying, and he was also clear about what these people were thinking. He did know some details about this matter, but he couldn't just say it casually.

Several officials looked at Han Yu in puzzlement, not knowing why Mr. Ge sighed.

"This matter is clear in this cabinet. As for Liu Tingyuan's promotion, you should stop talking about it. Your Majesty has his own plan. When did you see your Majesty doing some boring things? Your Majesty naturally has his own intentions in doing things. Yes, the promotion to Liu Yanyuan's official position is not for a boring game..." Han Yu said in a tone of teaching, given his age and status, he is qualified to teach these people a lesson.

"Ge Lao, this..., please express it clearly!..." Immediately another official expressed his confusion.

"...Yeah! Mr. Ge, what's the matter..."

Han Yu thought about it for a while, but still kept his mouth shut. He didn't intend to say anything about it. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's not appropriate to say it now. If I say it, I'm afraid His Majesty will be jealous, so it's fine if you don't say it. This matter will definitely be resolved in the future, and you will naturally understand in the future... In short, you have to believe that His Majesty will not go out of his way to make Liu Tingyuan go to Daliuqiu as a patrol inspector..."

Several officials were even more confused, wondering if this Han Yu changed too fast?This is almost completely standing on the position of the emperor!

However, there was a little bit of faith in Han Yu's words. Indeed, judging from the emperor's temperament, he would not ask Liu Tingyuan to go to Daliuqiu to be a ninth-rank inspector just for fun. What was that for?Could it be for someone?
