Wei Chao hurriedly walked over, stretched out his hand to help Han Yi up, and helped him sit down.

Although Han Yi's body and age were far from this point, the Wei Dynasty still served like this.

Han Yi glanced at Wei Chao and said with a smile, "Thank you Grandpa Wei." ”

After Han Yi sat down, Zhu Youxiao talked with him for a while.

Of course, the main thing to talk about is how to implement it, and the general plan still has to be handed over to Zhu Youxiao to take the direction, and the rest can be handed over to Han Yi to do.

After the discussion was finished, Han Yi left.

Seeing Han Yi leave, Zhu Youxiao stood up and walked towards the door of the palace.

Soon, Zhu Youxiao came to the gate of the palace, holding on to the railing, looking into the distance, with a quiet face.

After a long time, Zhu Youxiao raised his head and looked at the sky, and said softly: "I don't know if anyone will come to admonish this last item." ”

If the affairs of the army are completed, then only the officials and gentry will be left to pay for the food.

Han Yi was able to come to him to advise on the affairs of the army, and he was even willing to take things into his hands.

But as for the officials and gentry to pay for food in one piece, I'm afraid no one will do this. This kind of thing that offends people and has no benefit, no one really wants to do.

At that time, Zhang Juzheng did not dare to do so, because once he put forward this argument, he would be overturned by the interest groups he represented without the slightest hesitation or hesitation.

After all, Zhang Juzheng himself is a figure in the civil official group, and his rights are based on the rights of civil officials, and it can be said that he has reached the top of the Ming Dynasty cabinet first auxiliary scholar.

It's just that this right itself is not Zhang Juzheng's own, but the entire civilian-bureaucratic group. If the reforms he makes run counter to the interests of the civilian clique, the end will be miserable.

In fact, Zhang Juzheng only moved a little bit and checked the fields, and the result was so miserable.

No matter what you think, this thing must be done.

Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and walked back. The pace is firm, and the steps are dignified.

In the days that followed, everything seemed to be back to normal.

On the surface, the imperial court was running in order, and Jiangnan's money was quickly transported to the capital, and then the spoils were divided.

Part of it went to the emperor's inner treasury, and part of it went to the treasury of the household department. After the distribution of the spoils was completed, the money was quickly spent.

The household department allocated funds for the construction of water conservancy, the renovation of river areas, the construction of wharves, and the development of trade roads and road repairs.

In recent years, the imperial court has made a lot of money in business, so it is more willing to invest. What's more, now there are businesses in all the imperial courts, and such policies have been actively promoted.

It's just that the court has no money, and things are also suppressed by Zhu Youxiao. Now that he has money, it is naturally on the agenda, and Zhu Youxiao did not continue to press, he needs these people to do things to solve some domestic contradictions.

For example, to provide more jobs and transfer more peasants to work, we can use this method to improve the treatment of tenants and reduce the resistance to the implementation of the apportionment of land to the mu and the integrated payment of grain by the officials and gentry in the future.

So this time, Zhu Youxiao waved his pen and directly transferred the money.

In addition, a large amount of money has flowed to the Baigong Institute, new steel mills are ready to start, and Shanxi and Shaanxi are even ready to start construction. It is the second coal and steel base that Zhu Youxiao is preparing to build.

The reason is very simple, it provides employment. Natural disasters in Shanxi and Shaanxi are coming soon, and they are very miserable.

In the past two years, there has been a trend, the drought and the reduction of production are very serious, and the imperial court has to transfer a large amount of grain every year, and the freight is very high.

Zhu Youxiao was ready to provide jobs for the people in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and at the same time vigorously launched trade in the western grasslands, so that they could have a way to live - go to the west and go to business.

Of course, you can't do smuggling.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to hire a large number of workers and laborers from there, so that they could at least have a survivable job during the great drought years.

As for grain, potatoes have a short growing season, so boil potatoes. There is also sweet potato, anyway, how to use and how to live.

When the land is so dry that nothing can be planted, then there is no way, go to the grassland to live; Otherwise, go to the capital and go to the workshop to work.

Anyway, Zhu Youxiao is doing everything possible to prepare, and with the current transportation conditions, it is basically unrealistic to want to transport grain to Shanxi and Shaanxi to feed the people there.

Even if there is food, it is not enough, and the loss of transportation is too great to be able to supply it at all. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao wanted to make people in Shanxi and Shaanxi accustomed to working outside.

If they can't survive in the local area, they can go to the north, they can go to the grassland, or they can come to the capital.

In addition, some of the money went to the weapons research and development department of the Baigong Academy.

The imperial court placed a large order, or Zhu Youxiao placed a large order, allowing the Baigong Institute to quickly manufacture new weapons, and the purchased materials were immediately put into production.

After all, the war is about to start, and the weapons are not yet in place. How does this work?

In the past, there was not enough money, but now that the money is available, then we will produce at full capacity, ask people to give people, and ask money to give money. Zhu Youxiao believed that he would soon be able to gather enough equipment for the pro-army.

In addition, it is to hoard grain, and by the way, set up grain warehouses along the capital and Liaodong, which can be eaten along the way.

You must know that the logistics supply in this era is very difficult, in view of this situation, Zhu Youxiao adopted a stupid method, like ants moving, to build a supply line between the capital and Liaodong.

On these supply routes, there are many institutions similar to post stations, which store grain, and in the country of Daming, there is no fear of being attacked, and the grain will be transported in advance. Once the war starts, there will be no shortage of food.

Normally, there is a short distance between the two points, which can be carried by the local yamen, so that there will be no problems. You can even find a merchant to carry it and give them some money.

Although it has not been announced to the public, one of Daming's machines has been turned on.

The whole country is preparing for war, armor, weapons, food, manpower, one by one.

The capital fell silent in an instant, and the officials in the court stopped talking about these things.

Everyone knew that there was going to be a war, because the country was frantically preparing for war.

In such a situation, it is not a wise choice to speak, and everyone is grasping the arrangement in private.

Xun Gui and the people in his relatives' family are looking for opportunities to see if there is a chance to go to war. Everyone knew it was going to be a big victory, and it would be a great victory when they went to war.

This is a good opportunity to soar, how could they let it go?

They are all rushing to communicate the relationship.

On the other hand, these people are seizing the time to lay out business, and even many people are hoarding goods.

In their opinion, Liaodong and Mongolia are both good places, and if they can destroy Jiannu this time, they will belong to the Ming Dynasty!

Whether it is the wild ginseng in the mountains or the Liaodong goats raised, they are all good things, and the price of cashmere has long been expensive.

And in addition to these, it is said that there are better things out there. For example, all kinds of ores, iron ore, coal mines.

It is also possible to ship goods from there to North Korea and dump what it produces.

In recent years, driven by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, many people have come up with the concept of dumping, selling some of the things they produce at relatively low prices.

Of course, it's just a little bit low, and it's actually very violent. Then use the money to buy materials from other places at a low price, such as all kinds of things from North Korea, and sell them back to sell, and you can make a lot of money.

In recent years, business in Daning City has been very hot, and trade with the Mongols has been very good.

Daning City has become a new trading base, and countless Ming merchants have gone to the north. Except for the Mongols, who are Jiannu, kill them all, and you will have your own pasture in your hands.

These people are ready to make a big profit.

Time flies, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and autumn is in the blink of an eye.

Autumn is early this year, after all, it will soon enter the ice age, and the weather will be cold early.

The leaves of the trees are withered and yellow, and the cold wind blows directly, and the whistling north wind makes people chill.

Zhu Youxiao, wrapped in a bearskin jacket and wearing a dogskin hat on his head, got out of the car.

Speaking of which, this was made by Zhu Youxiao, and it was prepared for the pro-army, and he also got some cotton recently. Of course, it is mainly used to make cotton clothes, not for weaving and spinning.

The border army has been equipped with new cotton clothes and cotton pants, with cotton hats. The kind of cotton hat that covers the ears is very resistant to the cold.

In the future, in Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty will garrison troops for a long time, so these things such as fire kang and iron furnace have all been supported by measures. When the time comes, you can dig coal in Liaodong, and then burn it, and you can also burn firewood, so that the border army will not be cold,

The Northeast of this era has not yet opened up, and there are stupid roe deer everywhere. Although it is not said that the roe deer, scooping fish, and pheasants flying into the rice pot are similar, life in the Northeast will be better, except for keeping warm, there are no other problems.

The weather is getting colder and colder, maybe you can eat frozen meat from the Northeast in the capital, and you won't be able to get civilized all the way over.

Soon, heavy snow will fall north of the Yangtze River, and the entire north of the Yangtze River will be covered with heavy snow.

It will be so cold in Shanhaiguan that it is hard to imagine how cold it will be in the Northeast. This is also what future generations will not be able to understand, do you need to bring a stick to the toilet in this cold?

After driving away his thoughts, Zhu Youxiao got out of the carriage, glanced at Bi Maokang, who was kneeling straight not far away, and said, "Okay, you don't need to kneel on a cold day, get up quickly." ”

After speaking, Zhu Youxiao walked forward directly, and continued as he walked: "Let's go in and talk about something." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Bi Maokang hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly followed behind Zhu Youxiao.
