At this time, Jiajing really appreciates Yang Cong a little, at least Yang Cong's "The Principle of Knowing Things" is very good, and Yang Cong is still very honest, when it comes to the issue of salt introduction, he did not avoid it, but honestly said his thoughts.

This kid is a good talent, and he can be trained well.

As for how to cultivate, Jiajing already had a preliminary idea in his heart.

He had even decided to use Yang Cong to deal with the Tartars!

The problem of the Tartars has been bothering him for so many years, and he really can't stand it, and the method that Yang Cong came up with should be the best way to deal with the Tartars.

He was tired of those courtiers playing lip service, he was ready to use newcomers, and the most capable of the newcomers should be this Yang Cong, at least that's what he thinks for now.

The reason why he inspected Yang Cong in person was also out of this consideration.

Yang Cong's performance has been recognized by him, and coupled with Lu Ling'er's relationship, it has strengthened his determination to cultivate Yang Cong.

So, how to train Yang Cong to deal with the Tartars?

It is definitely unrealistic to directly promote Yang Cong to the secretary of the military department or the governor or governor, although he likes to use rocket-like speed to promote the talents he values, but there is also a prerequisite for promotion, that is, achievements.

Jiajing is like this, as long as he thinks you have talent, then your opportunity will come, but if you want to be promoted, you still have to make achievements, without any achievements, it is impossible for him to be promoted indiscriminately.

Yang Cong has made a little achievement at this time, at least the compilation of "The Principle of Knowing Things" is very good, if he can really compile a set of masterpieces similar to "Yongle Canon", he will also be praised by future generations.

How should this achievement be promoted?

At this time, he thought of Xie Jin, the editor-in-chief of the "Yongle Canon", Xie Jin seemed to be just an edict from the Hanlin Academy before compiling the "Yongle Canon", and then he compiled the "Yongle Canon", and got a certain grade, and was soon promoted to a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

At this time, Yang Cong has already been revised from the six-grade Hanlin Academy, and the compilation of "The Principle of Gewu Zhizhi" has also made certain achievements, and it should be no problem to be promoted to a bachelor from the five-grade Hanlin Academy, and he also wants to train Yang Cong to deal with the Tartars, it is impossible for the officials of the Hanlin Academy to be transferred to clean up the Tartars, and generally the officials who are transferred to deal with the Tartars are the imperial history of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, the imperial history of the right and the military department, and the military department waiter, at this time Yang Cong's grade is not enough to concurrently serve as the right imperial history of the Imperial Palace, hang an imperial history, and go to a border town to patrol the press is almost the same.

Thinking of this, Jiajing suddenly asked again: "Qingfeng, do you dare to go to the border town to command the army to fight against the Tartars." ”

Fainted, Yang Cong really didn't think about this problem.

It's not that he doesn't have the guts, the main thing is that his official rank has nothing to do with commanding the army to fight, how can the Hanlin Academy revise to command the army to fight!

As soon as Jiajing asked this, his heart suddenly became excited, this emperor, that is notoriously willful, promoting officials is like a neuropathy, as long as he enters his eyes, he dares to promote any official!

Command the army to fight against the Tartars, okay, as long as you dare to promote me, I dare to go!

In fact, there is not much danger for civilian officials to command a large army to fight, unless there is a special disparity in strength, and there is no way out for people to be surrounded, it is unlikely that ordinary civilian officials will die in battle, and moreover, they can also experiment with the feasibility of the art of war and the power of gunpowder weapons when they visit the scene, which will be of great benefit to the formation of the art of war and the improvement of gunpowder weapons.

Go and go, who is afraid of whom, in front of thermal weapons, the Tartar cavalry is a dish.

Thinking of this, he said without hesitation: "Weichen also wants to contribute to the country, but Weichen's position is really not suitable for commanding the army to fight." ”

Jiajing nodded with satisfaction and said: "As long as you have this heart, I can give you a royal history of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Inspectorate, and go to the border towns to patrol the press, not to mention the six border towns, you still have the right to command the army of a border town." How about it, which border town do you think is the best to go to. ”

This guy really dares to give people a promotion indiscriminately!

Yang Cong thought about it carefully, and then said excitedly: "Your Majesty, why don't you go to Xuanfu, Xuanfu is the closest to the capital, and it is most convenient to dispatch craftsmen." And in the three towns of Shanxi, Xuanfu Town is most likely to encounter a Tatar attack, Weichen thinks that Xuanfu can set up an arsenal now to produce muskets, artillery, thunder and fire dragon chariots, and wait for the border army in Xuanfu Town to be fully equipped, and then promote it to other border towns, so that there will be no problems with weapons and equipment. ”

Jiajing nodded without hesitation and said: "Okay, I will give you the title of Imperial History of the Imperial Procuratorate, patrol the Xuanfu, and be responsible for dealing with the Tartar cavalry." ”

Yang Cong hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

Jiajing then asked: "Do you estimate how many people need to compile this "The Principle of Knowledge", and how long will it take to compile it?" ”

This Yang Cong really has no bottom in his heart, who knows how long he will fight with the Tartars, three years, five years, it is possible that he can only get 60,000 elite troops in order, as for going deep into the grassland to drive the Tartars out of the fortress, I don't know how long it will take, and "The Principle of Knowing Things" is not only "Five Elements Chapter", "Art of War", "Equipment Chapter", not only how to deal with Tartars, but also how to deal with Tartars, there is still a lot of content, and it is very time-consuming to compile.

He thought about it carefully, and then he arched his hand and said: "The emperor forgives the sins, Weichen wants to concentrate on dealing with the Tartars first, this "The Principle of Gewu Zhizhi" may be relatively slow to compile, maybe it will take a few years after the Tartars are finished." ”

When Jiajing heard this, he pondered for a while, and then nodded slowly: "Well, dealing with the Tartars is indeed the first priority at present, as for the compilation of the "Principle of Knowing Things", it doesn't matter if you take your time, or you can organize some people to compile it slowly, and then concentrate on compiling it with all your strength after cleaning up the Tartars." If you have a crush on someone at this time, I can send you some first. ”

Yang Cong, the compiler, had already counted it, and he said without hesitation: "When Weichen was compiled before, Luo Hongxian, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, Tang Shunzhi, Zhao Shichun, the director of the Ministry of Labor, and Wang Xuan, the director of the Ministry of Works, all gave Wechen a lot of help, or just these few, Your Majesty, do you think it's okay?" ”

Jiajing nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, just a few of them, I will promote you to study for the Hanlin Academy, and be responsible for compiling the "Principle of Knowledge." ”

Dizzy, upgraded two levels at once, this promotion speed is really fast.

Yang Cong was excited, Jiajing suddenly thought that this guy was his quasi-brother-in-law, if something happened to him when he went to Xuanfu to patrol the house, wouldn't Lu Ling'er become a widow!

He thought for a while, and simply said: "You go to Xuanfu to patrol, you may encounter the Tartar cavalry at any time, with the current strength of the Xuanfu, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the invasion of the Tartar cavalry, so let's do it, I will send you a thousand elite of the Shenji Battalion, plus a hundred brocade guards to accompany you for protection." ”

This guy, the unexpected gains are simply too much, Yang Cong was so excited that he didn't know what to say, he could only give his hands one by one: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”
