Zhao Junchen is not proficient in military affairs, although he also knows very well that the military town soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have long lost their combat power and are completely insufficient to rely on, but he still spent a lot of effort to infiltrate the major military towns, because Zhao Junchen himself does not have the ability to train an elite soldier by himself, let alone the opportunity to train an elite soldier by himself, and even has no talents in related aspects. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, in order to control a certain number of troops for himself, although Zhao Junchen knew that infiltrating the military town was a way to get twice the result with half the effort, he still did it.

Because Zhao Junchen has no other choice, although many things are not effective, it is better to do it than to give up.

But now, because of Liang Fuchen's idea, Zhao Junchen has found another way!

The army that Qi Bin is responsible for training is simply a copy of the Qi family army, just looking at the performance of this battalion of soldiers against the Mongolian cavalry, you know that the combat power of this army is far superior to that of the military soldiers!

At the same time, although Liang Fuchen attached great importance to the army trained by Qi Bin, he only expected them to stabilize the border defense, and Liang Fuchen was a loyal minister, and he did not have the idea of continuing to control this army...... In this way, Zhao Junchen seems to have gotten an opportunity to take advantage of!

If Zhao Junchen can completely control this army, he will have the confidence to tear his face and flip the table, even if the rest of the plans do not go well, Zhao Junchen will have the power to protect himself, and he will no longer worry that Emperor Deqing will calculate himself.

Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen was faintly excited in his heart.

However, Liang Fuchen was staring at Zhao Junchen with blazing eyes at this time, so Zhao Junchen's expression still did not change, but after a moment of silence, he asked: "After the expansion of this battalion of sergeants, Qi Qianhu is still in charge of training?" Then why did Qi Qianhu not stay in Shaanxi and Gansu, but came to the capital with Liang Gelao? How is Liang Ge Lao's battalion of personal soldiers disposed of now? Is it a garrison military town? Or did he become Lord Wang Zheng's personal soldier? ”

Liang Fuchen explained: "After the expansion of this army, Qi Bin is still responsible for training, in this matter, I can only rest assured of him, and now I take him back to Beijing is only a temporary measure, Qi Bin recruits new soldiers as long as 'Liangjiazi', but although there are many outlaws in Shaanxi and Gansu, but there are not many 'Liangjiazi', so I plan to let him go to Yiwu, just like Qi Shaobao recruited Yiwu miners back then, and now he is just temporarily staying in the capital to wait for news, and after he gets the money to recruit recruits, he will leave soon......"

After a pause, Liang Fuchen said: "This year, the Mongolian cavalry attacked, and the Yansui general army fled in fear of the battle, and was killed by me to intimidate the public, and now there is a vacancy in the Yansui general army, I will let Qi Bin lead the troops to be stationed there, and then let him take over the position of the Yansui general army after a while, and then he can justifiably train the new army in Yansui...... Wang Zheng, the new governor of the three sides, was not bold, and if he handed over this army to him, he was afraid that he would only use it for self-protection, and would not use it to defend against the enemy at all, so I did not hand over this army to him, but only asked him to recruit his own soldiers. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded lightly and said: "I see, in this case, then I can rest assured, the recruits trained by Qi Qianhu will inevitably be the mainstay of the Shaanxi and Gansu sides in the future, if it is handed over to others, I will not worry about investing a lot of money and food, and it will only be in vain." ”

Seeing Zhao Junchen say this, Liang Fuchen perked up and asked, "Listen to Lord Zhao, you already have a way to raise money and food?" ”

Zhao Junchen nodded lightly and said: "As long as you think of some ways and raise some money everywhere, the household department can still come up with 600,000 taels of silver, the point is that the 800,000 stone grain is a little difficult...... The current grain of the imperial court is indeed beyond its means, and if you want to come up with this food, you must use some special methods! ”

"A special way?" Liang Fuchen asked: "What is the way?" ”

Zhao Junchen didn't answer directly, but asked, "I heard that Zhou Ge Lao made an appointment to meet Liang Ge Lao tonight?" ”

Liang Fuchen was not surprised by Zhao Junchen's clear ears and eyes, but just nodded and said, "That's true." ”

Zhao Junchen sighed lightly and said, "Don't hide it from Elder Liang Ge, this method requires Elder Liang Ge to persuade Elder Zhou Ge tonight, and when it comes to tomorrow morning, the three of us can perform a scene together...... During this period, in order to achieve the effect, it is also necessary for Liang Ge Lao to play the role of a villain and offend the hundred officials of the court, but once this method is successful, at least 500,000 stone grain can be raised, and then the household department will use silver to buy some grain from the people, and the 800,000 stone grain will be made up......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen raised his eyes to look at Liang Fuchen, and continued: "Liang Ge Lao don't blame, the role of this villain can actually be played by the lower officials, but now the lower officials have a tense relationship with the hundred officials for the rectification of the imperial court's agricultural affairs, if they play the role of this villain again, I am afraid they will completely lose their foothold, and the lower officials still have business and tax rectification, agricultural rectification, Sichuan salt development and other things have not yet been completed, but they are not willing to lose their authority like this, so the role of this wicked man, can only be played by Liang Ge Laoyou...... If Liang Ge Lao is willing to play the role of this villain, then the lower official will say his own way, if Liang Ge Lao is unwilling, then only the official has not mentioned this matter. ”

For Zhao Junchen's openness, Liang Fuchen was very satisfied.

After hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Liang Fuchen pondered for a moment and said slowly: "If I can raise enough money and food to support the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, then it doesn't hurt for me to play a villain, even if I offend hundreds of officials, I will not hesitate to do so!" ”

Seeing Liang Fuchen's statement, Zhao Junchen's expression was full of respect, and he bowed his hand to Liang Fuchen: "The old Duke of Liang Pavilion is selfless, and he is really a model of people and ministers, and the officials admire it!" ”

Of course, respect is true, but after Liang Fuchen offended the hundred officials of the imperial court, whether Zhao Junchen would take the opportunity to reap the benefits is another matter.

The method that Zhao Junchen thought of was indeed to raise enough food, but Zhao Junchen also planned to kill three birds with one stone, and planned to take the opportunity to drag Liang Fuchen into the water, let Liang Fuchen stand in the same boat with him, and by the way, let Emperor Deqing use Liang Fuchen to control the plan of the previous dynasty to go bankrupt!

But on the surface, Zhao Junchen still looked solemn, and said slowly: "Actually, there is still some surplus grain in Jingtong No. 2 Warehouse, but this part of the grain cannot be used, because these grains are the money of the officials in the capital and the nearby capital for the next half a year!" During the period of Taizu, the monthly rice given to the officials of the first grade of my dynasty was eighty-seven stones, and the monthly rice given to the officials of the first grade was seventy-four stones, even if it was a seven-grade official, there were also eight stones of rice per month, and to this day, although the rice of the officials was only half, the remaining quantity was issued in the form of silver, but there were more than 5,000 officials in the capital, and there were tens of thousands of servants, and the sum of these people's rice was enough to supply the 300,000 army for half a year! ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's statement, Liang Fuchen was shocked, only to feel that Zhao Junchen's method seemed to be more intense than he imagined!

Surprised, Liang Fuchen asked, "Could it be that Lord Zhao is planning to deduct the officials' rice?" ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head and said: "No, if the lower officials dare to deduct the officials' rice, then wouldn't the hundred officials want to turn the sky upside down?" The lower officials just plan to distribute all the rice in the form of silver, so that the officials can buy grain by themselves, so that Jingtong Ercang can save a lot of grain! Estimate, at least 500,000 stones! ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's explanation, the horror in Liang Fuchen's heart did not decrease at all!

Zhao Junchen's statement does not seem to have any problems, all the rice is distributed in the form of silver, and the officials buy grain on their own, but they only delay some energy, and they do not suffer much, but in fact, the lack of food in the imperial court has long been known to everyone, if the officials and officials are all out of rice, but they have spent silver to buy grain, then the price of grain near the capital will inevitably soar, this is a disguised deduction of hundreds of officials!

In addition, the people will inevitably be affected by the soaring food prices!

Of course, as long as the imperial court prepares early and can distribute some food to the people in a timely manner, there will not be much chaos, but this matter will still cause a lot of public resentment and official resentment, and once Liang Fuchen plays the role of a villain, he will inevitably attract countless hostility

After Zhao Junchen explained, he looked at Liang Fuchen with his eyes and asked again: "If Liang Ge Lao regrets it, then the current official has not said anything about it, and then find a way!" ”

Liang Fuchen was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's just some resentment, I can still bear it, Lord Zhao should explain your method in detail, otherwise I won't be able to convince Zhou Shangjing." ”

The next day, morning upwards.

After Emperor Deqing arrived at the Imperial Palace, he was quite interested, first hyped up Liang Fuchen's achievements in the past ten years, and then officially appointed Liang Fuchen to enter the cabinet and became the sixth cabinet elder!

Then, Liang Fuchen came out to receive the order, and the officials congratulated one after another, but they didn't mention it.

Then, Wang Baoren, who had finally made up his mind, finally completely abandoned the Nanjing Sixth Ministry, and several major officials of the Three Law Divisions came out one after another, telling Emperor Deqing and the hundred officials that Zhao Junchen's assassination was the mastermind behind the Nanjing Sixth Ministry.

For the results of the three law divisions, Emperor Deqing and the officials had already predicted, but Emperor Deqing still showed an angry look, and the officials were also indignant, so under the holy decree of Emperor Deqing, Huang Yourong became the governor of Nanzhili, temporarily taking over all the functions and powers of the Nanjing Sixth Ministry, and all the officials of the Nanjing Sixth Department will be suspended for investigation, and the Nanjing Sixth Department is about to usher in a purge!

In the eyes of the vast majority of officials, this incident should be the climax of this morning's upward trend.

However, after the end of the matter of the Sixth Department of Nanjing, with the great eunuch Zhang De's "play early if there is something to do, and retreat from the court if there is nothing", Zhao Junchen slowly stepped out of the ranks again under the attention of hundreds of officials.

As expected, Zhao Junchen was still entangled in the rectification of agricultural affairs, and he did not give up at all.

"Your Majesty, after Liang Ge Lao returned to Beijing yesterday, he talked with the minister about the recent situation in Shaanxi and Gansu, not only the people have no food to live, but the trilateral military town is also unsustainable due to lack of food, the trilateral military town is related to the northern border defense of the imperial court, and it cannot be ignored, but the imperial court's grain storage is insufficient, and it is completely powerless to support, and I hope that Your Majesty will pay attention to this matter, urge the people to return to the fields and return the grain, and allocate silver to build water conservancy and irrigation, so it is a long-term strategy!"

After coming out of the ranks, Zhao Junchen said loudly.

After hearing Zhao Junchen's statement, the officials were all full of helplessness, only feeling that Zhao Junchen was too paranoid, and in order to implement his own set of agricultural rectification policies, he always did not miss any opportunity.

Now, because of the rectification of agricultural affairs, Zhao Junchen argues with hundreds of officials every day, which has become the norm in the temple!

Therefore, most of the officials are also familiar with each other, and they know very well how they should refute Zhao Junchen.

So, as Zhao Junchen's words fell, hundreds of officials also came out one after another to refute them, what "labor and money", what "provoked the people to change", and what "violated the ancestral system", the reasons that have been repeated countless times have all moved out again.

Because of the affairs of Shaanxi and Gansu, Zhao Junchen obviously found a new point of view today, but after facing the rebuttal of the hundred officials, he did not back down, but just asked: "Since you do not agree with the official's agricultural rectification policy, but now the common people of Shaanxi and Gansu and the major military towns are short of food, do you have a solution?" ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's questioning, under Zhou Shangjing's instructions, Du Bai, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, came out and said: "The shortage of grain in Shaanxi and Gansu is only a matter of this year, even if Lord Zhao's several proposals are effective, but the effect will be a year or two later, how can it be the solution to the shortage of grain in Shaanxi and Gansu?" According to the official's thoughts, although the treasury is short of grain, there is still some silver, since Shaanxi and Gansu need money and grain, then provide Shaanxi and Gansu with a sum of silver, and let Shaanxi and Gansu use the silver to raise grain by themselves. ”

But Zhao Junchen still didn't give an inch, and said: "Use silver to raise food by yourself? Lord Du said easily, now not only is the imperial court short of grain, but also the people's grain is not much, how can such a large amount of grain be bought with silver? ”

Du Bai sneered and said, "Lord Zhao hasn't tried it yet, how do you know that it can't be done?" The price of grain in the private sector is not particularly high, how can it not be bought? I'm afraid Lord Zhao just doesn't want to waste his energy, right? ”

Hearing Du Bai's statement, the hundreds of officials in the Imperial Palace agreed one after another.

Since this period of time, Zhao Junchen has already annoyed them, and now seeing Du Bai ridiculing Zhao Junchen like this, he only feels very happy, and they all come out to express their support.

However, at this time, Liang Fuchen came out to speak.

I saw Liang Fuchen's expression was serious, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty, since the hundred officials all think that there is no difference between spending money to buy grain and the direct distribution of grain by the imperial court, and the Shaanxi and Gansu trilateral sides are indeed in urgent need of food, then as far as the minister knows, there is still a batch of grain in the second warehouse of Jingtong, which is the rice of the officials in the capital in the next half year, about 500,000 stones, you might as well directly provide this grain to the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, and the hundred officials will all distribute the silver in the next six months, so that the Shaanxi and Gansu trilateral sides can also save a lot of time. Focus on the border defense plan during the autumn harvest period, and please ask Your Majesty to learn clearly! ”

With Liang Fuchen's suggestion, the faces of the officials suddenly changed greatly!
