Chapter 155: Talented People from the Generations of Rivers and Mountains (I)

"Are you all in a hurry?"

Zhu Yunwen stepped into the Jinshen Hall with his front foot, and several people on his back foot stood up one after another to salute.

"Let's all sit down, I was a little tired, so I slept in the Qianqing Palace for a while, didn't I let your family worry, right?"

Waving his hand, Zhu Yunwen sat down first, his spirit seemed to have been replenished very well after this sleep, and the whole person was radiant.

"Your Majesty's dragon body is the foundation of the society, and the ministers can only sit for a while, and it should not be a big deal."

No matter how much Yang Shiqi wants to show himself in front of the emperor, the first person to stand up and reply is always the first assistant of the cabinet, this is the basic rule, although Yang Shiqi is a young man in a high position, he has never forgotten the rules.

"Don't say polite words, there are no extra people in this palace today, just me and Qing and a few others, let's use time to get down to business."

Zhu Yunwen went straight to the point and didn't do anything procrastinating: "Let's talk about it, what has happened in the court in the past seven months?" ”

Among the six people, except for Zhu Di, who looked at the ground and was silent, the other five looked at each other, and finally stood up first.

"Your Majesty is not in Beijing in the past few months, there are not many major events in the court, first Suzhou and Hangzhou caused floods, flooded three counties, and used 176,000 stone of grain for disaster relief, in order to settle these victims, the center allocated 200,000 taels of project silver, recruited people from Shandong and Henan to help rebuild, and spent a lot of money to repair the embankment.

In the north, Liaodong and North Korea have achieved gratifying results in mutual trade, and a few days ago a letter was sent to report the good news, and it is estimated that the first batch of tax silver can arrive in Beijing before the end of the year.

In the south and coastal areas, relying on the Fujian and Zhejiang naval divisions to conquer Taiwan, there was no chaos, and there was a lot of peace.

In the affairs of the imperial court, a group of officials temporarily left due to illness and Ding Wei, and the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were being evaluated, preparing to select materials from the local government and the Hanlin Academy.

In general, the court relies on the emperor's virtue as heaven, and it is still stable. ”

Zhu Yunwen's eyebrows raised slightly.

The attitude of the tyrannical Zhao is always like this, many things can not be studied in detail, and those that can not be investigated are not carefully investigated, it is not a big deal, and he can always understand that in the past few years, Zhu Yunwen can calm down and do what he wants to do, this Zhaozhao is really indispensable, otherwise, a bunch of messy things are piled up in front of Zhu Yunwen all day long, which can really annoy him as an emperor.

It's just that now, what Zhu Yunwen wants to do is basically done, the feudal domain has been cut, and the external troubles have been calmed down, so he can settle down and deal with the internal affairs of the country.

I thought so, but Zhu Yunwen didn't rush to ask what was going on, he had just returned to Beijing, and it would take a few days to study it carefully, so he looked at Yu Xin, the second assistant of the cabinet.

"The treasury has always been in charge of the Qing family, and this year after the turn of the year, Guan Zhen just added an heir, and before he had time to ask, he hurriedly went to the southwest, how is the expenditure of the imperial court this year?"

Yu Xin stood up, and at this moment, it seemed that everyone's eyes were looking at him.

"In terms of the use of the imperial court, the bulk of the head is nothing more than military spending, engineering, and this year there are new officials' expenditures, and the expenditure is quite huge, fortunately, this year out of Suzhou and Hangzhou, there was no major natural disaster, and the tax revenue is still stable, and the household department is in conjunction with the provinces, and it will not take long to give the minister a quasi-letter, and in general this year, it has survived."

Avoiding the important and trivial, Yu Xin does not seem to intend to pursue the indiscriminate use of military spending by the Fujian and Zhejiang Navy Divisions in front of Zhu Yunwen.

On the vast sea, it is impossible for the officials of the household department to run to supervise the Fujian and Zhejiang naval divisions, is it really as the strip, how many shells are fired, how many gunpowder tools are used, and how much is the slip that Xue Ke handed over to the army fee true and how fake? How much is the salary increase for the suppression of bandits in the provinces of the Five Military Administrations and how much is it true and how much is false?

These things, Yu Xin decided to stop when he stood up.

The emperor has just triumphed, what is he doing at this time to mention these things? A political war of words in front of the emperor?

Since Zhu Di has said that Zhu Yunwen will not be fighting next year, that is a good thing, the country is rarely stable, and everyone is honestly stuffy and official, isn't it more decent than going to the execution ground to kill your head?

Yu Xin didn't question it, and when Zhu Yunwen asked about Xu Huizu, it was impossible for Xu Huizu to talk about the trivial matter of how many people had died in the local health center, biting the responsibility of the cabinet's poor supervision and negligence, and then it might even cause Violent Zhao to fight with Yang Shiqi.

Even the financial director Yu Xin, a cabinet minister who has always been chattering, shut up, not wanting to make trouble, Zhu Yunwen asked Yang Shiqi again, the latter is also sensible, and he didn't say too much, after all, the situation of the country is here, and it is indeed smooth sailing in general.

"What about the bandits of the Five Military Mansions?"

When his eyes turned to Xu Huizu, Zhu Yunwen did not let Xu Huizu report it himself this time, but took the initiative to ask by name.

"Wei Guogong has been suppressing bandits here for about a year, how is the situation?"

The matter of suppressing bandits is familiar to Xu Huizu, and it is not cumbersome and complicated, the combat effectiveness of the guard station in the early Ming Dynasty is there, maybe it is not enough to pull it out to fight the Warat Tatars, but it is definitely easy to catch it when it is thrown in the country to fight the mountain bandits.

"The provinces have dealt with it almost."

Xu Huizu stood up and made a truthful report: "Except for the suppression of bandits in Shandong, there is no good news so far, and the rest of the provinces have successively achieved great results, with a total of more than 430 large and small bandits being cleared, 1,270 enemies killed, and more than 6,000 captured. ”

Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Di and made an angry gesture: "I have asked Uncle Qi Wang to deal with the bandits in Shandong since I left Beijing, and I have not achieved anything so far? Fourth uncle, you are the head of the clan, so I will send a letter in your name to reprimand him, telling him that if there is no more results within a month, I will take him for blame. ”

One month? Give him a year and he won't be able to handle it well!

What the emperor thinks in his heart, what he wants to do, although Zhu Di can't figure it out now, but there are still some contexts to be found, the left and right are nothing more than cutting off Zhu Rong's domain, they have cut so much, but they don't care about this one, they should respond immediately, and they said that they would directly persuade Zhu Rong to come to Beijing to confess their guilt in the letter at that time.

Anyway, sooner or later, it will be cut, so just go straight to Beijing to be the prince of peace.

"Since you all say that there is no major matter in the country, then let it be so today."

Originally, looking at the transcript that Zhu Gaochi sent to the palace ban earlier, Zhu Yunwen thought that he could see a few of them arguing in this palace today, but he didn't think that they were all so shrewd, but it seemed much more boring.

"It's up to you to take care of it."

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand: "Go back to the house early to rest, the fourth uncle and Wei Guogong will stay and discuss with me the matter of awarding rewards for the military merits of this southern expedition." ”

The four members of the cabinet stood up and bowed and retired, leaving the palace to Zhu Yunwen and the three ministers.

The military merit book has always been carried on Zhu Di's body, and when he saw Zhu Yunwen mention the reward, he took it out and handed it over, but this list is only for the generals who followed him to conquer the Annan Kingdom, like Zhu Yunwen After the imperial expedition, the names of He Fu and others are not on this military merit book, and their military merits are naturally drawn up by Zhu Yunwen, the emperor.

"It's all my good son."

At a cursory glance, there were hundreds of people, and the first one was the injured Ma Dajun, thinking of this person, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but admire.

"This time, the southwest has all been surveyed and leveled, and I have deliberately eliminated the mountain army, incorporated it into the Yunnan Metropolitan Command Envoy, abolished Mu Sheng's position as the Yunnan General Military Officer, and appointed Ma Dajun as the commander of the Yunnan Metropolitan Territory, what do the fourth uncle and Wei Guogong think?"

In the military system of the Ming Dynasty, the chief military officer, that is, the so-called general soldier, is not a permanent official position, it is a temporary establishment, and it is mostly used in the border areas to facilitate wartime command, just like Liaodong, Liaodong is under the control of Shandong, but Liaodong faces the enemy on three sides, and must fight at any time.

Even so, it is natural that the post of chief military officer of Liaodong will be added, and Ping An will not be under the jurisdiction of Yang Wen, the commander of the Shandong Weidu, in Liaodong.

Everyone is in charge of their own stalls, so it's convenient to do things.

It is naturally reasonable to remove Mu Sheng from the post of commander-in-chief of the Yunnan army, after all, in the southwest, there may not be a war in the next five to ten years, and the establishment of this commander-in-chief of military affairs can also withdraw from the stage of history.

And the fact that the army of Israel and Ma was appointed as the commander of Yunnan instead of Mu Sheng was entirely because of merit.

The capable go up, and the mediocre go down.

The gap between Mu Sheng and his father and brother is there, occupying the pit and not, and it is the military affairs of the Ming Dynasty that are delayed.

Seeing that Zhu Yunwen had made up his mind and the Sacred Heart was dictatorial, the two would not have any objections, so they responded immediately, and they also knew in their hearts that it would not be long before Mu Sheng would be recalled to Beijing and retire in the Fifth Army Mansion.

There are talented people in the country.
