Zhu Houzhao's words are always so reasonable, so that you can't find a flaw, this guy's brain is born to lift the bar.

Yan Chengjin hurriedly took a sip of the wolfberry tea he brought, and was shocked.

"Zhu Houzhao!" Emperor Hongzhi didn't know when he appeared outside the Cultural Palace, his eyes were round, and he shouted: "You don't want to interrupt Yan Qing's family teaching!" ”

Zhu Houzhao replied stupidly.

Yan Chengjin and the others hurriedly saluted.

Emperor Hongzhi's face turned and he smiled: "I just listened to you, and I have a deep understanding that your knowledge is not shallow, and I am still worried that you will be included in the lecture of the sutra too early, and I want to worry too much." ”

In fact, Yan Chengjin had already discovered just now that Emperor Hongzhi was eavesdropping outside the door, but he quietly turned on the non-physical performance mode, pretending that Emperor Hongzhi did not exist, and talked for a long time.

From the golden mean, it comes to the sage and thrift that Emperor Hongzhi likes to hear.

This is a handout given to him by Wang Yue.

If Cheng Minzheng is a teacher and educator, Wang Yue is a sycophant of the Eight Classics.

It can be said that it is quite the spleen and stomach of Emperor Hongzhi, and Emperor Hongzhi is a person who advocates virtue and moderation.

Yan Chengjin breezed lightly: "Your Majesty praises falsely!" Compared with Lord Li, the knowledge of the minister is far from the light of the grain of rice compared to the light of the bright moon. ”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded his head and cast an appreciative gaze: "Yan Qing's family should not be too humble, it is a good thing to have talent and learning." ”

Your Majesty, this handout was given to the minister by Wang Yue and Cheng Minzheng, and the minister didn't want to be Zhu Houzhao's master, you forced me......

Why did Li Dongyang also cast an admiring gaze on him?

Zhu Houzhao had a cold face, and said unhappily: "Old Gao, this palace wants to compare with you to learn!" ”

Yan Chengjin looked at Emperor Hongzhi with some embarrassment, only to hear Emperor Hongzhi glaring at him, and then looked at Yan Chengjin: "Yan Qing's family should not be like him. ”

"Naturally, the minister will not."

After the feast, Emperor Hongzhi asked to talk to Zhu Houzhao alone.

Today, no matter what to eat, the civil servants have dispersed.

Out of the Wenhua Palace, Li Dongyang said with relief: "That's a good point." ”

Yan Chengjin is serious: "I am often ordered by adults, and my father teaches me by words and deeds, so I have such a deep understanding." ”

Li Dongyang saw that there was no flattering look on his face, so he didn't feel that he was a sycophant, and smiled kindly: "Learn more and learn from Andingbo, kill the enemy on the battlefield, and kill the enemy thirty-nine times, how heroic." ”

…………………………

It's only in August, but the weather is getting colder and colder, and crops are being harvested one after another.

Suddenly, the world became unpeaceful, and this year's harvest was much smaller than in previous years, and thieves were rampant and plundering.

Poyang Lake was inhabited by a group of thieves who dared to loot the grain transported to Taicang.

Song Shu was sent to the palace, and after Emperor Hongzhi saw Song Shu, he was angry and annihilated.

Early in the morning, the three members of the cabinet Li Dongyang were ordered by the emperor to enter the palace, saying that they were urgently summoned.

Liu Jian is a little older, the road is a little slippery, and he walks slowly.

Yan Chengjin walked on the road and found Li Dongyang and the three of them, and smiled: "Three adults, morning." ”

Li Dongyang nodded.

Xiao Jing was waiting in the Guangting of the noon gate, and when he saw the three members of the cabinet appear, he strode up to greet him: "Please hurry up, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time." ”

Liu Jian was surprised: "Why is it so urgent?" ”

Xiao Jing hurriedly said: "Jiujiang Mansion was attacked by thieves, and the thieves of Poyang Lake intercepted the grain in Taicang. ”

Yan Chengjin's heart moved, someone robbed Taicang?

Suhu is ripe, and the world is full.

Suhu Lake was robbed, and the world was cool.

Especially after the advent of the Xiaoice River period, the grain harvest of the Ming Dynasty was even more stretched, and Suhu Lake was the important grain production area of the imperial court.

I'm afraid that the price of grain will rise recently, and when I go back in a while, I will let him store more grain, the weather is cold, and it will be winter, and I don't know how many people will starve to death.

Li Dongyang knew that this matter was not trivial, and quickened his pace.

Xiao Jing said again: "Your Majesty wants to raise troops to suppress the bandits, go straight to Poyang Lake, and wipe out that group of thieves." ”

Yan Chengjin was not optimistic about the imperial court sending troops.

The sailors of the Ming Dynasty are not as good as dogs, as sailors, there are also those who can't swim, and those thieves in Poyang Lake are scattered and scattered, using boats as holes, and are well versed in waterways.

The lake area is extremely wide, the vast waterway, the Ming sailor rarely set foot in, if you want to win the lake pirates there, I'm afraid you can't.

Moreover, the pirates in Guangdong are as rampant, and it is difficult to divide the forces.

If the sailors of Guangdong are withdrawn, the pirates will take the opportunity to invade, and the two ends of the lake and the sea will be lost, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

In later generations, there was a way to solve this problem, increase the military preparation road, and wait for these thieves to come ashore, and the military preparation road and the sub-patrol road will work together to encircle and suppress it.

But now in the Ming Dynasty, there is only a sub-patrol road to maintain the law and order of the official road, there are few people, and when they encounter thieves, they can only be wiped out.

If there are two forces to maintain the defense of the road, the garrison road and the sub-patrol road, add five to the two.

When they meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, and the evenly matched conspirators win.

As long as the officers and soldiers of the military preparation road and the sub-patrol road do not go against the wind, do not surrender against the wind, the enemy advances and retreats, and the enemy runs and drags me, waiting for reinforcements from the local government or guard office, the thieves will be destroyed sooner or later.

Yan Chengjin pondered carefully, fell into deep thought, and pointed fingers at himself, would Li Dongyang, Liu Jian and Xie Qian feel slapped in the face?

This has to be taken into account.

Li Dongyang doesn't need to say it, he has always encouraged himself to "sing if you want to, and if you have a dream, you can speak boldly".

Liu Jian has an upright temperament, and he has always been right about things and not people, and there is a high probability that he will not hold grudges.

On the contrary, it is Xie Qian, who is unpredictable, Yan Chengjin only knows that Xie Qian is good at arguing, and he doesn't know if he has good face or not.

Yan Chengjin rehearsed it in his mind, and said tentatively: "My lord, the lower officials have some superficial ideas, I don't know if to talk about it?" ”

Li Dongyang really said: "I am a great open-minded person, and I am capable of being virtuous, why are you so distracted?" That's it. ”

Yan Chengjin will think about his words and say: "Jiujiang Mansion has a special geographical location, facing the river defense affairs of the Great River, and also facing the lake defense affairs of Poyang Lake. ”

Yan Chengjin said, "I just have an idea, and I don't know if it's feasible, Li Gong, do you think it's feasible, help me judge it?" The attitude is more like asking for advice, and the ingredients of the class are greatly reduced.

Li Dongyang fell into deep thought, Jiujiang Mansion is indeed as Yan Chengjin said, facing river pirates and lake pirates, if all the troops are invested in Poyang Lake, wouldn't the river thieves take the opportunity to go ashore and rob their homes.

Xie Qian sighed lightly and said: "The establishment of the official system has been completed, and it cannot be increased or decreased at will, if it is to increase the number of soldiers, it is necessary to increase the number of officers and soldiers, and the establishment of one official will lead to a series of official positions, and one more official will have an additional fee, which needs to be carefully considered." ”

Liu Jian also fell into deep thought.

In line with the principle of leaving three points for everything, and being more serious in the future, Yan Chengjin did not insist on arguing.

If the imperial court insists on sending troops into the lake, I am afraid that it will end up in annihilation.

Whether you listen to it or not, it's Li Dongyang's business.

"The next official is on duty."
