Chapter Seventy-Six: The Countryside Will Not Return

Since then, Zhu Qizhen has had an extra mind, and he is not allowed to come to Zhu Qizhen to ask for land in the name of land reclamation.

But Zhu Qizhen can't do it here, so can't these people have a way?

These nobles have a way, that is, after Yu Qian rectified the Shuntian Mansion, the little officials were replaced again, which stopped this kind of thing a little.

For the land in the yellow book of the imperial court, the magistrates with a little backbone will naturally be pushed back, even if they want to annex it, it will add a lot of costs.

After all, it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and whoever is forced to beat the Dengwen drum in a hurry will not be able to do it.

But those who are not in the yellow books of the imperial court, even if they make trouble with the yamen, it is not easy to do.

Because these powerful people said that it was a wasteland before, and it was also a wasteland in the yellow books of the imperial court. Again, it is registered in the names of these powerful people.

There is no fault in the law.

As for the possibility of several mouths a year, it took several years to be busy before it was able to cultivate a raw land into a familiar land, and it became someone else's house.

It can't be said that it is very safe to register on the Yellow Book, and there have been cases of changing the Yellow Book in the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that the minimum cost has increased I don't know how many times, the yellow book is in triplicate, the county, the government, Houhu, and even Zhu Qizhen are also preparing to build another yellow book library in Beijing, and if you want to change these, you have to be capable.

In general, there are no such people who are so skillful.

Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty's intentions, in addition to the control of the water, rebuild the yellow book, and personally press the people, not one person, not less than one, but the increase or decrease of the quota is not known to the minister." ”

Zhu Qizhen listened and smiled lightly, knowing that Yu Qian agreed. It's just a hard mouth.

After all, it has been more than 50 years since the 24th year of Hongwu, and there are more than two generations, and it is impossible for the local land to be the same as the 24th year of Hongwu.

Even according to the Ming tax system, without adding a penny of tax, the quota of each county should also increase greatly.

Zhu Qizhen said: "There is one more thing, Mr. will take a trip on my behalf." ”

Yu Qian said, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Yang Shoufu is sick today, I can't go to visit, so you can go on my behalf." Remember to tell him that I can't do without him for a day, so that he can live and recuperate. I was waiting for him in the palace. ”

Zhu Qizhen ordered Wang Zhen to go to the Tai Hospital to prepare a reward, what Liaodong ginseng, He Shou Wu, and other precious medicinal materials were added to it, and asked Yu Qian to bring it to Yang Shiqi.

Zhu Qizhen knew that he put Yang Shiqi together this time. In Yang Shiqi's absence, the matter of Hebei water conservancy was finalized.

Although Zhu Qizhen also did not make any announcement to the world according to Yang Shiqi's meaning, but no one in the court knew that Ouchi and the household department would jointly pay four million taels, which was enough for Liu Zhongfu to grit his teeth.

So Zhu Qizhen also wants to give Yang Shiqi some

Face. Some steps down.

After all, Zhu Qizhen just wanted to do something, not deliberately trying to hit Yang Shiqi.

It's just that sometimes, it's not important whether it's intentional or not, it's important that something has happened. Zhu Qizhen didn't notice it yet.

Yu Qian left the palace and took the medicinal herbs to the Yang Mansion.

The housekeeper of the Yang Mansion did not introduce Yu Qian into the study, but into the bedroom.

Yang Shiqi's illness is real.

After all, when people are old and have weak resistance, they have to cultivate for several days if they are exposed to a little wind and rain.

After Yu Qian saluted Yang Shiqi, he gave the gift from the emperor.

Yang Shiqi was very happy to see Yu Qian coming, so he asked the maid to put on a quilt and sit leaning, but when he saw that Yu Qian sent so many precious medicinal materials on behalf of the emperor, his face changed slightly. drove the left and right out and asked in a low voice, "Have you entered the palace?" ”

Yu Qian said: "Yes." ”

Yang Shiqi said: "Hebei's water conservancy has been finalized? ”

Yu Qian said: "Yes." ”

Yang Shiqi slowly leaned on the quilt, a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't know whether to laugh at himself or others, and then asked, "Tell me, what is Your Majesty going to do?" ”

Yu Qian immediately put out his water control plan and asked Yang Shiqi for advice.

Yang Shiqi sighed and said, "Tingyi, you promised me one thing. ”

Yu Qian said, "Teacher, please speak." ”

Yang Shiqi said: "You don't want to be the head of the cabinet for the rest of your life. ”

Yu Qian was stunned for a moment and said, "Why did the teacher say this? ”

Yang Shiqi said: "With Your Majesty's holy favor to you, you are better in the cabinet than in the cabinet, and with your ability, you will naturally be able to achieve fame in this life, but if you serve as the first assistant of the cabinet, I am afraid that even if you have a holy family, you will not be able to escape exile for three thousand miles." ”

Yu Qian said: "Students ------"

Yang Shiqi said: "It's not that you don't understand, but you don't want to believe it, Your Majesty hates me." I've been the head of the cabinet for more than a decade, and now it's time to step down. ”

Yu Qian said: "The student thinks that His Majesty will not be like this, but he still values the teacher very much. ”

Yang Shiqi said: "Your Majesty's thoughts, I still know a little, but he is too young, he respects me very much, and plays it right every day, just like a king and a prime minister, if I am twenty years younger, no, ten years old, I will assist Your Majesty well and achieve the name of the monarch and the minister." But I'm old. ”

"Many times, it doesn't matter what His Majesty thinks. What the officials think His Majesty thinks is the problem. ”

"I don't have a prime minister in the Ming Dynasty, only the first assistant of the cabinet, and the first assistant of the cabinet is not the prime minister after all."

"The authority of the head of the cabinet lies in the Holy Family. If the holy family is there, it is not the prime minister who is better than the prime minister, but if the holy family is not there, it is a candle in the wind, and there are not many days left. ”

"Your Majesty didn't mean that today, but

It was a hundred officials, but they thought that His Majesty must have the idea of changing horses. After all, once a son of heaven and a courtier, His Majesty has been in power for a year. ”

"It's time to change something. What's more, someone can't wait? ”

Yu Qian said, "Then the student will go and tell Your Majesty." ”

Yang Shiqi said, "No, what Your Majesty needs is not Yang Shiqi, but a person who can sit in the center and realize the strategy in Your Majesty's heart." And I'm also old, it's time to go home. After you go back, Your Majesty asks you, that is, I am all right, and I will go to the cabinet tomorrow. ”

"However, after you leave Beijing this time, don't come to Beijing before next summer, if you want to come to Your Majesty's wedding, they won't block Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager before the wedding, that is, after the wedding."

"Rest assured that the cabinet is not for you."

Yu Qian heard Yang Shiqi say this, and countless feelings came to his heart.

Although in Yang Shiqi's opinion, Yu Qian is still too young politically, Yu Qian is not without a sense of smell, and when the meeting was held at that time, Yu Qian saw that Yang Shiqi was not there.

I felt that the situation was not good, but I didn't know what was wrong at the time. The moment is finally clear.

Yu Qian said: "Teacher, can you rest assured that Your Majesty?" ”

Yang Shiqi said: "Actually, it is not bad to be a son of heaven and a courtier, Your Majesty is high-spirited, I can't keep up with Your Majesty as an old man, I just give Your Majesty the last lesson." ”

"As a king, why should you be angry and angry?"

Yu Qian said: "Teacher -------"

Yang Shiqi waved his hand and said: "I have made up my mind, I don't need to use it anymore, you remember what I just reminded, don't be in the center in the end, and don't serve as the first assistant of the cabinet in the center." ”

"Your talent is not inside, it's outside."

Yang Shiqi was also completely disappointed in Qian. He wanted Yu Qian to take over his mantle before, but now it seems that it is not Yu Qian who can really take over his mantle, but Cao Nai.

Especially Cao Nai, before Yu Qian came, he had already visited him, but Cao Nai didn't say anything.

But Yang Shiqi didn't think that Cao Nai knew anything, and couldn't think of anything.

It's just that Cao Nai made the most beneficial choice for himself, that is, to pretend not to know.

Yang Shiqi was sad and relieved to Cao Nai, and he was pleased that Cao Nai, although ruthless, was a person who had become the first assistant of the cabinet. For the same reason, Yang Shiqi's cultivation of Cao Nai is no less than Yu Qian.

Even the status of Cao Nai's successor has long been determined.

But Cao Nai just can't wait. Cao Nai's seemingly neutral attitude has made Yang Shiqi's political map lack a big piece, and if Yang Shiqi is determined to fight back, he may not be able to suppress this turmoil.

It's just that Yang Shiqi's prestige is shaken, but it is inevitable, and things will not be easy to do in the future.

In this case, it is better to go back.
