"This is natural, the old man must be impartial and observant, and select the best capable officials for the country as officials, I still have to rely on them."

Qu Shiyun had a straight face and said with his head bowed.

"Capable ministers? By them? ”

Lin Xiao's eyes froze when he heard this, and he said solemnly: "My lord, forgive me for being presumptuous, not to mention how many capable officials can be elected in Guangxi, even if there are enough candidates, I think that with the virtue of those officials in Nanning, if you don't rectify it well, the more capable you are, the worse it will be, so don't harm the people." ”

"Huh? Why did General Shuangmu say this? ”

Qu Shiyun heard the words, changed his color slightly, and listened to his tone, do you have to change the hexagram?

Lin Xiao pondered for a moment and said slowly: "There is a saying that adults know better than me: officials are not afraid of my strictness, but afraid of my honesty; The people do not accept my ability, but obey my father...... In my opinion, if the morality of the official is not worthy, it is both incorruptible and unfair, and the more capable the person, the heavier the exploitation of the people, then what is the point of us desperately recovering the country? ”

"How can the old man not know this truth, but for now, let's focus on restoring order first,"

Qu Shiyun said in a deep voice, "After all, spring plowing is imminent, and the future food and salary of the court and the army are the most important thing...... As for rectifying the rule of officials and eliminating maladministration, I think that after this great tribulation, the saints of today will surely learn from the painful experience and make great efforts to make the government prosperous, and will not allow the disaster to happen again. ”

"In the future, if Zhaoqing is recovered, the Holy Lord intends to return the capital, and will definitely reopen Enke, and then our dynasty will be able to recruit more people with both ability and political integrity, and with enough talents, it will be able to reshape my brilliant Ming ......"

"Or all? Zhaoqing? ”

Qu Shiyun was still immersed in the glorious prospect of Ming Zhongxing, but Lin Xiao interrupted him abruptly.

"Yes...... Ah, the current emperor is based in Zhaoqing, Nanning is just a last resort and temporary residence, if Zhaoqing can be recovered this time, it should naturally be grand to boost the hearts of the people...... Besides, Guangdong is much richer than Guangxi, and only when it goes there can the imperial court have enough financial resources to support the army and help the people, and it can be regarded as standing at the starting point of Zhongxing. ”

Seeing Lin Xiao's surprised face, Qu Shiyun thought that he didn't know what was at stake, so he smiled and said patiently.

"Uh...... It's okay, after Xia originally wanted to recover Jiangnan, he proposed to return the capital to Nanjing, so it seems that it is better to forget it......"

Lin Xiao smiled evilly, and teased lightly, since you are so impatient, then it is up to you.

"You mean...... Nanking? ”

Qu Shiyun's heart moved slightly when he heard this, and he said urgently, "If Nanjing is really recovered, you might as well move the capital again, but I don't know how long it will take?" ”

"Three months at most, but I don't think there is a need to move the capital again, the frequent relocation of the capital and the mobilization of laborers are not small, so it is better to wait for the recovery of Beijing and return the capital directly."

Qu Shiyun's words reminded Lin Xiao that since you want to return to Zhaoqing, then Nanjing does not have to go, and then the entire wealthy Nanzhili should be controlled by yourself as a model special zone for the land reform movement, which will be more conducive to the promotion of political reform throughout the country.

After all, if you want to implement land reform in this era, you will definitely move many people's cheese, not to mention that Yongli will not agree, and the large group of gentry below him will definitely jump higher.

At that time, it will be possible to reverse the situation from the bottom up only by using the demonstration model special zone as a contrast.

There is no comparison, there is no harm, these people are all masters who don't cry when they don't see the coffin.

"Uh...... This ......"

Qu Shiyun's face was full of astonishment, the south will soon be recovered, he believes this, but to say that the north is recovered, he is a little unimaginable, this, have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse? In the vast northern plains, how could the Tartar cavalry, which came and went without a trace, be so easy to fight?

"Don't worry, my lord, this day will never be too far away," Lin Xiao said with a smile, "Once the Northern Expedition begins, how can the pace of our army stop in the south of the Yangtze River and not recover Beijing, what face does I, Lin Xiao, have to talk about saving the country?" ”

"That's good, that's good," Qu Shiyun's eyes lit up, "If that's the case, General Shuangmu is the first hero of my Ming Zhongxing!" ”

"My lord is overrated," Lin Xiao shook his hand and said with a smile, "If the hero is not a hero, I don't care, even if it is for Uncle Yuan, we will move forward bravely, but ...... At that time, the court should not be hindered everywhere. ”

"How can it, the old man must do his best to protect you and others with his life."

"Then thank you, my lord, in the future, when the army is out all the year round, there will be Lord Lao in the court," Lin Xiao arched his hand again and again, "Anyway, there is a third thing at the moment, I want to ask my lord for help." ”

"General Shuangmu, please say, where he can, the old man will do his best to help."

"Isn't this now the spring ploughing season, in the next time to hunt down Sun Kewang, in Xiangxi, northern Qianbei witnessed the tragic situation of the people's poor livelihood, the people are generally short of food, the people are struggling......

I chatted with a brother about this matter, and I heard that someone is planting potatoes and sweet potatoes, these two crops, high yield, easy to survive, and the harvest is fast, but there are few people planting at the moment, only in southern Fujian and Qiongzhou, so I decided to go to the front line in Guangdong and Fujian to search for seeds, and I hope that the adults will communicate with the household department to vigorously promote the planting of these two crops. ”

"Really?"

Qu Shiyun was puzzled when he heard this, he had eaten potatoes and sweet potatoes, but they were all eaten as vegetables, not staple food.

"Yes, my lord, we have been growing a lot of it overseas, so we know that it can be promoted as a staple food."

"That's good, that's the case, this matter is sooner rather than later, don't miss the spring ploughing...... In this way, the old man should go to southern Fujian with you,"

Qu Shiyun groaned:

"You only need to concentrate on the war, and the old man will go as an overseer, so that it is convenient to plant a season in the official field, and as for the promotion among the people, the old man can ask the mission office to help...... In fact, the people are still very welcome to beneficial things, but someone must explain it patiently and cannot be forced. ”

"Yes, this matter is forced, in the next suggestion that the existing fertile land can still be planted with staple food, the first batch of potatoes and sweet potatoes are all planted on the hillsides, wasteland, and the government is supplemented by tax incentives, as long as the people harvest a season, and so on to taste the sweetness, even if you don't let them plant afraid can not be stopped."

Qu Shiyun nodded approvingly when he heard this, as long as he did not fight for good land, the pressure on promotion would be very small.

However, on the trip to Fujian, he has made up his mind that he still has to go in person, on the surface, he is to make a forward station for Yongli as a supervisor, but in fact, there is a big event secretly, and he feels that he needs to come forward in person.

"General Shuangmu, the old man has one more important thing on this trip, and that is to take you to see King Yanping."

"King Yanping? The surname of the country, Zheng Chenggong? ”

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, "My lord, are you familiar with King Yanping?" ”

It's a coincidence!

Zheng Chenggong's father Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the enemy, but Zheng Chenggong resolutely did not surrender, and has been leading the troops to resist the Qing Dynasty in the coastal area of southern Fujian.

"Of course, doesn't the general know that King Yanping also worshipped his family teacher in his early years? Speaking of which, he and I are still brothers in the same school, do you say they are familiar with each other? ”

Qu Shiyun said with a smile.

"Huh? The water is too cold? ”

Lin Xiao looked stunned, blurted out and exclaimed, and then suddenly realized that he had lost his words, his face turned red, and he said abruptly, "You are all ...... Qian Qianyi's disciples? ”

"The water is too cold" is a stalk, of course Qu Shiyun can understand it, so Lin Xiao is a little embarrassed.

However, there is still such a play? It's really strange, these two are obviously national heroes, how can they all worship under the door of Qian Qianyi, a soft bone?
