Waiting for the two of them to come, Zhu Youxiao walked back to the imperial case, opened a book of notes casually, and watched quietly.

The first one is about a famine somewhere in Henan last month.

This is the most common thing that happens at the moment, and now every month, Zhu Youxiao receives 70 or 80 reports of famine or disaster in various places.

It's just that the timeline at the end of the third year of the Apocalypse is still early, and most of the famines in various places are limited to the county, and there has not yet been a great famine that has swept the whole province.

By that time, there would be a lot of hunger.

"Ship the first batch of sweet potatoes from Kisuke this year, anyway, this thing can't be stored for too long, and if there is a famine in various places in the future, the first thing to do is to transport sweet potatoes over, followed by silver grain for disaster relief."

Wang Chaofu wondered in his heart, how did His Majesty know that sweet potatoes could not be stored for too long, but he didn't ask, only nodded quietly, indicating that he would write it down.

Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything, and opened the second book again.

The second book is about a happy event, which is jointly performed by Hong Chengchou, the governor of Liaodong, and Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, saying that according to the report of the Sentinel Cavalry, Nurhachi seems to have relapsed after the last war, and stays in a place called Warm Town all day.

Obviously, the slave chief was there to recuperate.

It was also mentioned in the note that Mao Wenlong, who had won a lot in Hetuara not long ago, was leading the generals to discuss battle strategies for days, and it seemed that he wanted to make some new moves.

He hasn't played yet, so Zhu Youxiao naturally won't be in a hurry to ask.

Although Mao Wenlong has many problems, it is always beneficial to keep him on Phi Dao in terms of the overall strategic situation, and if the Dongjiang Army does not have the help of the imperial court outside, it is indeed in a difficult situation.

He also said that the current situation in Liaodong is very good.

With the victory over Yu Wei, coupled with the cooperation of Duoyan, Fuyu, and Taining, Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong Economic Strategy, is planning to completely recover the lost territory in Liaodong before next year.

It seems that his idea of building the main battle with Hong Chengchou and Xiong Tingbi has come true, and it is working.

Although Hong Chengchou couldn't get used to Xiong Tingbi's stinky temper, one of the two stayed in Liaoyang, and the other moved to Haizhou? Basically out of sight and out of mind.

Are they all big-picture people? It will not stumble at a critical moment.

Hong Chengchou, as the governor of Liaodong, is much stronger than Yuan Yingtai before? On the one hand, he appeases the exile? On the other hand, about 120,000 people from the Central Plains are being resettled.

Zhu Youxiao closes the notebook? Quietly remembered.

To be honest, the first batch of people to go out of customs? The few were beyond Zhu Youxiao's expectations.

Looks like people of this age? It is true that there are very few people who are willing to drag their families out to live a new life, not to mention that most people talk about tigers.

120,000 people is better than nothing.

As for the rest of the displaced people, what new policies can be issued? The rest is to go with the flow? There's no need to pull around.

Only when the proportion of Han people in Liaodong has increased, can they reclaim Tuntian and stabilize the frontier.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao smiled, and was about to flip through the next one? But I heard Wang Chaofu, who was standing at the door, whisper:

"Master, the little grandfather and the elder are here."

"Invite them in."

Zhu Youxiao or did he open this book? But his mind was not on this, and he caught a glimpse of the two coming in out of the corner of his eye? casually commanded:

"You are coming, sit down."

Isn't it the British public Zhang Weixian? But is it the little British prince Zhang Shize, who is more than 20 years old? That is, in history, Li Chuang marched into the capital city? The last British duke who led his troops out to resist to the death.

This person's ability has not yet been seen, but Zhu Youxiao is not worried about the degree of loyalty.

When I wanted him to be in charge of the Zongren Mansion, I just wanted to cultivate it in advance.

"How's the preparation for the cabinet candidates?" Zhu Youxiao's words were said to Wei Guangwei, the deputy assistant of the cabinet.

This person used to be Donglin, but he was regarded as a victim of the political struggle by the Donglin Party, and later took refuge in the name of Wei Zhongxian, calling him "Father Wei", which can be described as a hardcore eunuch.

But recently, Wei Guangwei has been very interested, and he has gradually moved away from Wei Zhongxian, and he can no longer hear the affectionate title of "Father Wei".

Compared with the government's report, the current Wei Guangwei is even respectful to Wei Zhongxian in private and keeps some distance.

It is precisely because of these that Zhu Youxiao plans to give Wei Guangwei a chance.

Zhu Youxiao actually didn't plan to use it directly for this cabinet supplemental list, because he had another candidate in mind, mainly to see the thoughts of the future first assistant.

Wei Guangwei also realized the importance of this to his future life, and respectfully presented a note, saying:

"The minister originally planned to add six cabinet ministers, this is the list, please Your Majesty to take a look."

Zhu Youxiao didn't look at it, he was still on the imperial case, but he got up and moved, and said with a smile: "I've been here for a long time, let's go out for a walk with me." ”

The two didn't dare to say anything, but followed in a muffled voice.

At this time, even the imperial garden in the palace does not have the feeling of warblers and swallows, but because the inner supervisors take good care of them, they always feel refreshed and comfortable when they walk inside.

One gentleman and two ministers walked about 100 meters and came to a small pavilion, Zhu Youxiao had just sat down, and there were palace people with him to serve imperial tea.

At this time, Wei Guangwei, who had been observing words and expressions for a long time, suddenly spoke:

"There were two ministers in the past, in addition to the ministers, Wang Zaijin is mostly named, perennial in Nanjing, not in the cabinet, now many government affairs in the cabinet are decided by the ministers, the ministers are afraid."

Looking up and peeking up, he found that the emperor was casually looking at the flowers and plants around him, Wei Guang was slightly relieved, and continued:

"The eight-member cabinet has one more person according to the previous regulations. But this dynasty has its own practices, and His Majesty has His Majesty's holy judgment. The minister thinks that it is better to add seven people. ”

Zhu Youxiao looked very leisurely, eating snacks and drinking tribute tea, as if he was not listening.

But in fact, he heard every word of Wei Guangwei in his heart.

It wasn't until the last sentence was finished that Zhu Youxiao got up, and he didn't answer anything, just kept joking to Zhang Shize, who couldn't interject.

Since Gu Bingqian's resignation and Han Yi's return, the cabinet is really only Wei Guangwei, who joined the cabinet last year, for him, this is a time when his prestige is high, but it is also an extremely dangerous time.

In the last years of Wanli, Fang Congzhe was alone, but he still vividly remembered that those extremely powerful ministers in the cabinet, such as Zhang Juzheng, would basically not end well.

Wei Guangwei can hear rumors every day that he must be the next first assistant, which makes him feel like he is on pins and needles in this position!

Saying that I don't want to be the head of the cabinet is false.

As the first assistant of the cabinet, he will be able to leave a name in history, this is the apex of being a minister, and before the Ming Dynasty, this is the prime minister of the dynasty!

But at the same time, countless eyes are staring at this position, sour and smelly, they don't have the ability to come up, so they desperately pull you down with their own abilities and make you ruined!

In this position, opportunities and risks coexist, life is in the world, if you retreat at this time, can you still be called a man? I also lived this scene in vain!

Back in front of the Maoqin Palace, Zhu Youxiao walked up the two stone steps, suddenly turned his head and said:

"The top priority of the imperial court is how to govern after recovering Liaodong, you should also go back and think about it, and then write a notebook and present it to me."
