The little eunuch hurriedly went to inform Lin Song and asked him to let the person go.

The hunt of Hongzhi is over, and the temple secretary of Honglu Temple will lead the envoys back to the temple to settle down, and a banquet will be held tonight.

The envoys looked at the three Hongyi generals with coveted eyes, and they were reluctant to give up.

Emperor Hongzhi said urgently to Yan Chengjin: "You go back to the palace with me, I have something to ask you." ”

An hour later,

The Forbidden City, a side hall.

Emperor Hongzhi changed into a light gauze robe, and since he indulged once, he liked the feeling of wearing a robe, and wore it when he was not in court.

The little eunuchs and palace maids of Shangshan Jian carefully served the wine and food.

Emperor Hongzhi and the three members of the cabinet, as well as Yan Chengjin, were seated in turn.

After spending half a day in the school field, and being interrupted by Emperor Hongzhi and the ministers, Yan Chengjin was extremely hungry at the moment.

Emperor Hongzhi was breezy and calm: "Eat." ”

"Your Majesty doesn't move the chopsticks, how can the ministers move the chopsticks first." Yan Chengjin Road.

Li Dongyang and the three of them also nodded, but they didn't pick up their chopsticks yet.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled, picked up a piece of white lotus root, put it in his mouth, and chewed it, Yan Chengjin dared to pick up chopsticks and began to eat meat.

Emperor Hongzhi slowed down, and his eyes fell on Yan Chengjin, this guy specializes in eating meat, and leaving vegetarian dishes for me.

Li Dongyang and the three of them looked at it at the same time, they deliberately didn't clip the meat, Yan Chengjin was good, not polite at all.

Yan Chengjin felt a little embarrassed: "Minister...... Is it too casual? ”

Li Dongyang and the three of them had black faces, and three big characters were written on their faces, "What do you say?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi put down the bowl and became serious: "Do you know, what am I looking for you?" ”

It is a great sin to speculate on the divine will, and for the sake of prudence, if you know, you must say, "I don't know."

Li Dongyang and the three of them said in unison: "The ministers don't know." ”

Yan Chengjin bowed: "The minister doesn't know." ”

"Now that there is General Hongyi, what do you think of sending troops to recover the grassland?"

Yan Chengjin's face froze, and His Majesty was a little floating.

The grassland is not a place paved with gold bricks, cannons can be fired anywhere, and even cars driving into the grassland will be stuck in the mud and unable to move.

General Hongyi weighed more than 3,000 catties, and the two wheels were thin and small, and this stressed area, advancing into the grassland, would definitely be stuck in the ground.

Speaking of lead and iron beads, the shells are too heavy to transport many rounds at a time, and the gunpowder is very likely to be wet and unable to sound.

The fatal thing is that the march with the Hongyi general, the speed is as slow as a snail, and even if the Tatars see it and pull up the tent and run, they will have time.

Yan Chengjin wants to fight, but for the sake of prudence, he can't fight now.

Li Dongyang and the three of them fell into deep thought, this is a major matter, and they must be considered carefully.

"I don't think so." Yan Chengjin Road.

"Why?"

"Although this cannon is powerful, it weighs more than a thousand pounds, the marching speed is extremely slow, and it is extremely time-consuming to reload gunpowder...... will run in vain and waste military salary. Yan Chengjin said.

Once on the march, countless soldiers and rations are often transferred, and it is costly.

The border troops abandoned their farm tools and put on military uniforms, and the tuntian fields on the border areas were deserted because no one cultivated them.

Emperor Hongzhi began to weigh gains and losses.

Yan Chengjin said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the ministers expanded the Shenji Battalion to 27,000 people, which has other profound meanings. ”

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes slightly and said, "Tell me about it." ”

"Nine sides, 3,000 people on each side, exactly 27,000 people, the minister wants to let the Shenji battalion use the Hongyi general to defend the border city, in exchange for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty's long-term stability, only the nine sides are not disturbed by the Tatars, and the Ming Dynasty has a prosperous era at all."

"The minister thinks that Your Majesty has the skills to fight, so it is better to settle the displaced people of Shuntianfu."

Yan Chengjin Road.

It costs a lot of money to fight, and obscene development is the best policy.

General Hongyi can't attack, but he can defend.

According to historical records, the little prince is a hero, and it is not easy to deal with, and I don't know how long this battle will take, if it falls into the quagmire of war with the Tatars, it will drag the Ming Dynasty down.

Today, the various ministries of the steppe have not yet achieved real unity.

The little prince and Emperor Hongzhi were very similar in their childhood, and they both inherited a dynasty full of holes.

In the grassland, Yibula and Mandu both wanted to kill Dayan Khan, but the troubles in the grassland still did not subside.

Dayan Khan coveted the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty because he wanted to plunder food and property, strengthen soldiers and horses, and in turn suppress the various tribes of the steppe.

Da Ming is different.

After trading iron tools with neighboring countries in exchange for large quantities of grain, the granaries of the treasury gradually became abundant.

Only then did Emperor Hongzhi have the courage to start a war against the Tatars.

This money and grain, instead of being used to fight, should be used to solve the troubles of the displaced people of the Ming Dynasty first.

Solving the problem of displaced people is an extremely long process.

Even if these displaced people are given fields and let them feed themselves, it will take time to cultivate, plant, and harvest.

Before growing food, the displaced people had to be raised by the imperial court first.

In the past, the salary of the Jiubian army was tight and he couldn't take care of the homeless, so Yan Chengjin never admonished.

Now it's different, a large amount of foreign grain can help the Ming Dynasty last for a while, these grains are not spent, and Emperor Hongzhi will also spend it elsewhere.

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath, and the homeless man took the broken bowl and shared the porridge to eat, and the scene seemed to be right in front of him.

He was still haunted by it, and sighed: "I didn't expect that there are so many displaced people in the capital. ”

In the entire Shuntian Mansion, and even in the world, I don't know how many homeless people there are.

Li Dongyang knows that there are a large number of displaced people in the world, and where it is said that they will be resettled, "The trouble of the displaced people, except for soup kitchen, the imperial court has no other way." ”

"Perhaps...... The minister has a sentence, I don't know if to say it or not? ”

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes lit up, and he stared directly at Yan Chengjin.

Yan Chengjin was a little weak-hearted, and said, "Your Majesty, can you let the minister take a look at the map of Shuntian Mansion?" ”

"Get the map!" Emperor Hongzhi immediately said.

Xiao Jing took the map of Shuntian Mansion and spread it out on the ground.

Yan Chengjin squatted down and pointed casually on the map: "The minister wants to put the displaced people of Shuntianfu here, so that they can have a place to settle down." ”

Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang took a closer look.

Yan Chengjin pointed to Liangxiang County in Shuntian Mansion.

"Let all the displaced people of Shuntianfu return here? Isn't that nonsense! Liu Jian was a little anxious.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, looked at Li Dongyang and asked, "What is the origin of this Liangxiang County?" ”

"Your Majesty doesn't know, this Liangxiang County is too poor, and it is rumored that the people here can't even afford straw mats when they die. Li Dongyang sighed.

Yan Chengjin knew that they wanted the displaced people to beg in the rich prefectures and counties, and they could always ask for some food, and even copper plates, so that they could live.

Begging, what's the use?

The displaced people have no land and no land, and after all, they have no fixed place to live, they are scattered everywhere, and they are very hungry and prone to picking quarrels and provoking trouble.

In order to make people prosperous, Daming has many policies.

Now there is nowhere to find the iron shoes.

There is a large group of people in front of you who don't need it, isn't it a waste of money?

Yan Chengjin said: "When the displaced people arrive in the rich prefectures and counties, they can only beg, suffer discrimination, and if they are pressed, they may steal and do evil, and go up the mountain to become thieves.

Therefore, the bandits of the Ming Dynasty have been suppressed repeatedly.

The reason for this is that the source has not been contained, and the displaced people have not been properly resettled. ”

Emperor Hongji frowned.

Yan Chengjin is serious: "The minister also knows that Liangxiang County is a poor place, but it is just used to settle the displaced people. ”

The land of Jingxiang gathers displaced people from all over the world.

Most of the homeless people flee there because they are not evicted, they are not discriminated against, and they may be able to eat a bite to eat.

Jingxiang is probably the Sanhe of the Ming Dynasty......

Liu Jian was worried: "With so many people, how are you going to feed them?" Liangxiang County is poor enough, and Liangxiang County is close to the capital, in case of a rebellion......"

"This ...... The minister didn't dare to pat his chest and promise. Yan Chengjin said.

Emperor Hongzhi had a straight face: "How sure are you?" ”

"......" Yan Chengjin.
