Yang Xin's purpose was still to find a base for his southern Dangkou army, and Fengyang's place was still okay......

It's a little poorer there.

However, it is a hub of water and land transportation, a strategic place to control Jianghuai, and has a strategic advantage over the south of the Yangtze River.

The Linhuaiguan pontoon bridge is the only bridge on the Huai River.

The main road leading directly to Qingliuguan Pass is equivalent to the national highway of this era.

Establishing a base there, relying on the militia to build a really strong army, basically has the ability to quickly intervene in all the cities along the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and as for the problem of poverty, it is better to solve the problem of new crops there.

Of course, Yang Xin's purpose is not only that.

"Reform the Guard?"

Apocalypse said suspiciously.

"Yes, the guard system founded by Taizu is actually good, but it was broken later, but fortunately, this system is still there, what we need is to carry out reforms, that is, according to what I did in Wuxi before, the guards will be militiaized, all restrictions under their military status will be abolished, and then the official land that they originally cultivated will be rented to them according to three or four percent of the land.

Originally, half of the military households were handed over to the guards.

But the problem is that under the military registration system, these grains have become fattened for those hereditary generals.

And also under the military registration system, military households had to obey these generals, and in the end they became de facto serfs of the latter.

In that case, let's tear it down and start over.

Let's make Fengyang a pilot first, the shack people I recruited from the mountains are temporarily useless after dealing with the affairs of Wuxi, but they can't be disbanded, these people are really useful, the minister means to continue to recruit, and then place them in Fengyang, just like Tianjin. But don't say to the outside world that they are going to reform the health center, it is simply to give them a resettlement site, there are too many wastelands in the Fengyang area, and it is the most suitable place for them to cultivate and farm.

In this way, the generals of Fengyang's guards will not object, and they will even cooperate for the sake of the ministers.

Then they can put down roots there.

Then the ministers went to reform the Fengyang guards, and at that time, it was useless for those generals to oppose it. ”

Yang Xin said.

"Accurately, these people are all like the Dangkou army in Tianjin, and the wasteland reclaimed is also considered a brother, so I should also give my brother a reward this time."

Apocalypse said.

That's it.

The two quickly put aside government affairs and began to continue their scientific research.

To be precise, Yang Xin solved the doubts encountered during this period of time to His Majesty the Emperor, especially the reinforced cement problem of the Imperial Palace in the design, in fact, there is not much technical difficulty, and the two of them plan to replace those exaggerated Nanmu pillars with reinforced concrete. Yang Xin never thought of using reinforced concrete beams in the Huangji Palace, and at present, he can't provide real steel bars, at most he can only make wrought iron bars, this kind of thing is not a big problem to make columns, but he still doesn't dare to make beams.

The beams are still wooden.

As long as those Nanmu pillars can be replaced, the cost of the three major halls will be directly reduced by half.

Those huge nanmu are the main cost of the three major halls, this thing must be cut down from the mountains and forests in the south and then dragged out by countless manpower, and then sent along the Yangtze River Canal station by station, each pillar requires manpower and material resources is a terrifying number.

Without these pillars, the three halls themselves would not cost much.

Wrought iron bars and cement are enough to solve this problem, although wrought iron is not steel, but it is nothing more than thickening.

It's not a big deal.

In the final analysis, the Imperial Palace is just an eight-story building including the roof.

If it is not too ruined, it can be supported by bamboo tendons in some unimportant parts, and there is also a huge cost component is those statues, but this is currently the apocalypse has been solved, and it is indeed very labor-intensive to use stone statues, but it doesn't matter if you make one with cement. As for the dragon that Apocalypse rode just now, if it really needs craftsmen to do it, I am afraid it will be a huge project, but His Majesty the Emperor took a total of dozens of craftsmen for half a month.

In short, according to their foolish method, the entire three major halls project will definitely not exceed three million.

Yang Xin stayed in the palace until it was almost dark, and then returned to his house, and then as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Huang Ying walking out of it angrily......

"Uh, where are you going?"

Yang Xin was stunned.

"Go back to your own home!"

Huang Ying replied very politely.

"Sister."

Immediately after that, the figure of Little Meow appeared.

Obviously, Yang Yanshi's inner house problem finally broke out.

"I can't help you!"

Yang Yishi carried her directly very simply, Huang Ying writhed and struggled on his shoulder like a fish that was caught, but he couldn't break free of his hand, and then he was carried back to the door by Yang Xin.

Little Meow screamed.

"What's it called, when there will be a call, teach your sister well, it's the first time for her!"

Yang Xin shouted.

Then he walked straight to his main room under the stunned gaze of Xiaocao and the others, carried one by one into it, and kicked the door shut by the way......

This is how the problem of the inner house is solved.

In the final analysis, the key to this problem is not to get rain and dew evenly.

But if you have the ability to pick two or even pick three, this problem is not a problem, and when Yang Yan got up refreshed the next day, Huang Ying and Xiao Meow were already like sisters, of course, Yang Xin was not interested in the combat friendship between the two, this guy could be called non-stop to solve the next problem for the apocalypse.

Cabinet Hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Elder Ge."

Yang Xin looked at the other side with an unfriendly gaze.

"Elder Han Ge, don't you want to introduce a few new Pavilion Elders?"

He then said to Han Yi.

At this time, there are a lot of pavilion elders, in addition to Han Yi and Liu Yixiu, there are also He Zongyan, Zhu Guozuo and Shi Jikai, all of whom were recalled by Taichang's order, and then the apocalypse did not change, and he got these guys for his father, plus the first assistant Fang Congzhe, the current cabinet has six scholars, this is not the highest record, the original history of the apocalypse has increased sharply to nine scholars in three years, and this cabinet hall is overcrowded.

He Zongyan is a native of Jiangxi, a Jinshi in the twenty-third year of Wanli, and the main force of the original prince.

Zhu Guozuo is a native of Zhejiang, the champion of Wanli in the eleventh year, and the teacher of Taichang.

Shi Jikai is a native of Quanzhou, Wanli 20 years of list, he is still a bachelor of Wanli Feng, but Wanli was already dead when he received the appointment, he resigned after returning home, but Taichang insisted, and later the apocalypse also symbolically urged once, he had just arrived in the capital.

"They are all veterans of the Three Dynasties!"

After Han Yi's introduction, Yang Xin said with emotion.

The elders of the Three Dynasties all looked at him silently, which meant that he was about to fart quickly.

These five are all old foxes, and they are not interested in talking nonsense with him, and four of these five are pro-Donglin, that is, Shi Jikai is neutral, but he still stands on the side of Donglin on this matter of principle, after all, Yang Xin is the public enemy of civil officials and gentry, although Zhu Guozuo is from Zhejiang, he is Jiaxing, and Jiaxing is the sphere of influence of the Donglin Party, especially when Yang Xin has just killed a Jiaxing champion, this old champion is even more angry at him.

"Then I'll be blunt."

Yang Xin said with a slightly embarrassed smile.

The five old foxes remained silent, a semicircle around him, one by one ignoring him.

"First of all, Gao Panlong must die, and the Gao Gu family must raid the house."

Yang Xin said.

There was still silence.

Anyway, the five old foxes don't vote, and the apocalypse can only issue their own decrees, and the emperor's decrees will attract opposition from all over the country, after all, this is not in accordance with the rules, even if the two Gao Gu families are still copied, they are also framed and wronged by the eunuchs, and people with lofty ideals everywhere will not give up speaking up for them. However, the cabinet issued this vote to represent the official admission of defeat by the Donglin Party, and the acceptance of the emperor's complete subjugation by the civil official system, which is the last position to hold, and the submission here represents the emperor's complete victory.

"Elders, it's useless to be silent, if you don't make a ticket, then this case will not be over, Yang will continue to go to Jiangnan and continue to investigate this case, what will I do, I think you are already very clear.

Why bother?

Why make a lose-lose situation?

Ye Taishan has entered Beijing, what we will do next, I think you already know.

What conditions can we discuss, but this attitude of refusal to cooperate is not good, you are all veterans of the three dynasties, don't be angry like children, we are all adults, why not discuss the problem in an adult way? ”

Yang Xin said.

"Do you really want to talk about it?"

Han Yi said.

"Be open and honest, of course."

Yang Xin said.

"First, Jinyiwei is not allowed to be arrested at will without a driving sticker."

Han Yi said.

"No, in fact, Your Majesty has just allowed Jinyiwei to be arrested first and then go back to Beijing to sign a driving sticker in case of an emergency."

Yang Xin replied very dryly.

This is a fact, besides, he has already started this, the apocalypse allows and does not allow it to start, the rest is just in accordance with this practice, and this driving sticker is not reasonable, like those sudden cases, Jinyiwei can't have the kung fu to sign the driving sticker. It is said that even the local inspection, the arrest of a person does not have such a restriction as Jinyiwei, and the county official arrester can write a detention warrant by himself, but when Jinyiwei arrests people, he has to go to the criminal department to sign a driving sticker.

In the past, you even had to prepare a lot of materials, just like going to the procuratorate to apply for arrest.

Not even the right to detain.

This brocade guard is too aggrieved.

"Yang Yanshi, this is the attitude of talking?"

Zhu Guozuo said.

"Since it is a discussion, of course some agree and some disagree, if they all agree, wouldn't it become your unilateral order? I don't agree with this, but I can promise not to bend into a trick as much as possible, at least not to beat people like Wang Wenyan. ”

Yang Xin said.

He still has reservations about torture to extract confessions.

Whether it is science or various examples, it has been proved that if you are beaten like Wang Wenyan and do not confess, then you basically will not care about any torture, and other means must be taken for these, fortunately, there are too many legal loopholes in the Ming Dynasty, and there are actually many ways to obtain confessions from people like this.

Yang Xin is a good boy who abides by the law, but he also abides by the law by exploiting legal loopholes.
