Comparing the Gongon princes with guano is still difficult for them to accept.

Of course, the comparison is even more unacceptable.

It is said that none of the princes can increase the yield of rice by 30 per mu, and this must not be prevaricated by tricks and tricks, because it is the minimum duty of every official to persuade farmers to teach mulberry, and they usually shout that the peasants should have enough food and clothing.

Although only on the lips.

But from this point of view, the princes of the Ming Dynasty are really inferior to guano.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let Daming enter a glorious and prosperous era, not by shouting, nor by relying on the princes of Gon to put their mouths in the court.

You have to do it.

Your Majesty is doing it.

Under the personal leadership of His Majesty, we studied machinery at the Academy of Sciences, which could plough the land without oxen, pump water without manpower, and even cut wheat without a sickle.

People will be tired, machinery will never, human power is limited, the power of machinery is unlimited, in the future, one person can plant thousands of acres of land, and a family of five can produce tens of thousands of stone of grain.

Not enough land?

There are wastelands everywhere outside the plug!

No water?

We can use machinery to pump water from the Yangtze River to the capital.

Not enough fertility?

The sea is full of guano islands, the one I have in the East China Sea is the smallest, there is a bigger one on the sea five hundred miles south of Qiongzhou Prefecture, which is enough to use the entire south of the Yangtze River, and then there are countless such islands on the ocean farther away.

It's simple. ”

Yang Xin boasted like a children's science writer in the 80s.

Anyway, it's just blowing, and at this point, these scholars who have read the books of the sages are really as easy to coax as preschool children.

"But Your Majesty has to rule the country after all, and these things can be done by others."

Huang Duanbo said in a obviously weak tone.

"No one can replace Your Majesty, only Your Majesty's genius can achieve this.

The elders of the cabinet who govern the country, there are six Shangshu in the court, there are officials at all levels in the local government, and the Ming Dynasty has the imperial examination system, our court is like a machine, everything is running step by step, and everyone is like a part in their own position, and if it is broken, it can be replaced with a new one. ”

But there is no substitute for His Majesty.

Your Majesty's genius is irreplaceable. ”

Yang Xin said.

"The Hou of Hejian has a good reputation, and I am also learning to explore and move forward, if there is no Hou of Hejian to mention it, I will also have a black eye."

Apocalypse finally turned around and said.

"The minister just picked up a few bakers by chance on the beach, but if you want to make these shells shine, no one else can do it except Your Majesty."

Hejian Hou said modestly.

The two of them praised each other so sensibly, how could Huang Duanbo and the others still hold on.

They had no choice but to retire.

"Brother thinks these people are worth reusing?"

After they left, Apocalypse asked Yang Xin curiously.

Yang Xin rarely brings people here, let alone this kind of scholar, and today Tianqi originally planned to let Yang Xin have a group of staff in the outer court of Chengtianmen, but he didn't expect Yang Xin to end this matter so easily, although it was mainly because the lifters were too knowledgeable about current affairs. But these people are just right to be able to use the cane, Yang Xin not only did not have a cane, but specially brought it over for him to get to know him, which obviously means that these people are worth reusing, and Yang Xin rarely does this in general.

"At least they're hard-boned."

Yang Xin said.

"Your Majesty, soft bones are indeed obedient and will not resist us, but in the face of other people's pressure, they will easily betray Your Majesty, hard bones are indeed annoying sometimes, but in the face of the real test of life and death, Your Majesty can rest assured of them, they are all willing to die unyielding."

He went on to say.

At this time, it is difficult for the apocalypse to feel the preciousness of these four words.

Wei Jingyu was betrayed by Jiang in Datong, and after being captured by Li Zicheng, he was persuaded to surrender three times to no avail, and finally released him as a sign of respect, but he still chose to commit suicide.

Wan Yuan Ji defended Ganzhou.

Huang Duanbo was the first to shout, and he would rather cut off his head than shave his hair.

Lu Zhenfei, as a native of Beizhili, resisted the Qing Dynasty in the Southern Ming Dynasty until his death.

These are all in the erosive world of the late Ming Dynasty, it is rare for a few to be able to keep the bottom line, and their talents will not be taken care of first, but at least their discipline can be believed, so they are very useful in the position of need, in the end, Yang Xin himself does not know what the future will be like. He couldn't stop the turmoil of the Ming Dynasty, and he couldn't afford to provide enough food for at least 30 million hungry people who couldn't eat, so the civil uprising caused by the famine was inevitable.

Then the hard guys are very important.

As for talent......

They're no worse than anyone else, are they?

Apocalypse only nodded at this, he definitely didn't have Yang Xin's feelings about this issue.

These people are hard bones, that's all, hard bones are indeed stronger than soft bones, as an emperor of course he wants his ministers to be harder.

In short, Shi Ke's bill ended, and then he was sentenced according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, and then the apocalypse pardoned him by holy decree, but Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was removed from his post and replaced with a nine-thousand-year-old cronie Cui Chengxiu, and even Li Yangzheng was removed from his post and replaced with a nine-thousand-year-old cronie Li Kuilong.

At this point, the criminal department was controlled by the eunuchs.

In fact, at this time, Jiuqiantose still could not say that he completely controlled the court.

He couldn't move.

Sun Chengzong is a scholar and a scholar of the military department, and he is also a teacher of the Apocalypse, and he is also the head of the civil officials of Beizhili, because he can make cakes, he also has the support of the generals of the nine sides, although he looks like a rough man, but he is extremely shrewd, and he understands the play of officialdom very well. Especially in making cakes, as a secretary of the Ministry of War for many years, repairing the Great Wall including Shanhaiguan, supporting the repair of fortresses in Liaodong, and supporting the replacement of new weapons, in a word, not afraid of spending money, he will carry out big projects, and there will be money up and down.

Although the money is like flowing water, it does make the border defense system of the Ming Dynasty look new.

Even Yang Xin was satisfied.

Although he did spend a lot of money, at this time Liaodong was indeed full of fortresses, and each fortress cost a lot of money, which also made the top and bottom full of money.

And he has never forgotten Yang Xin because of camp problems, and the part of the military department that Yang Xin has reported over the years has never been in arrears.

So Sun Chengzong, a military secretary like him, is of course popular with all generals, who doesn't like one who can make a cake? Anyway, the taxes of the Ming Dynasty always have to be spent, the three major halls save millions, the customs collect nearly one million more a year, the nine-thousand-year-old tax supervisor has more than one million every year, and Zhaoyi City can add more than one million to the apocalypse every year. And that's not counting the other new tax increases, the Ming Emperor and the imperial court combined for more than five million more than in the past, but the war expenses are declining, after all, the boar skins have been transferred to Korea.

If you don't spend so much silver, can you let the apocalypse hide it in your own small treasury?

Who doesn't like a money-scattering boy like Sun Chengzong?

The same is true of Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Nine thousand years old can't move him, because he is becoming more and more popular around the emperor, and it can be said that Xu Guangqi, the only one in the six Shangshu who can go to the emperor at any time.

Not only the six books.

Counting the great bachelor of the cabinet, the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the temples, he is also the only one who can go to see His Majesty the Emperor at any time, and he doesn't even need to enter the Qianqing Gate directly, of course, it is impossible for nine thousand years old to move such a person. Besides, there is no conflict between him and Xu Guangqi, the eunuchs are indeed concerned about the procurement power of the Ministry of Industry controlled by Xu Guangqi, but it is useless to worry, people are directly responsible for the emperor, and those eunuchs do not have the right to see the emperor casually like him.

What Jiu Qiansushi can control at present is the remaining officials, households, and criminal departments.

He didn't control the Ministry of Rites.

The secretary of the Ministry of Rites is Zhu Guozhen, who is also a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Wuyingdian University.

The rest is the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Although the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are all northerners, strictly speaking, there is no eunuch party, but the nine thousand years old are indeed helpless against the Imperial Inspectorate, after all, there are a large number of Imperial Historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

More than a hundred mad dogs.

As for the honorable system in Jingying, it remained neutral under the leadership of Zhang Weixian.

Locally, he took advantage of Gu Qiyuan's anger by Yang Xin to replace Governor Yingtian with Mao Yilu, but it is impossible to really control the officialdom of the provinces, in fact, there were not many civil officials under him who were really minions in history, and Cui Chengxiu, Zhou Yingqiu, and Wei Guangwei were these. As for saying that all places built shrines for him and patted him on the back, this can't be said to be a eunuch party, but it's not that Yuandudu has never been built, so it's hard to become a eunuch party.

At most, it's just to make him happy.

The one who is really willing to be his minions is the Ten Dogs.

He alone can't control the entire civil bureaucratic system, including the current eunuch party, and the vast majority of them are actually allied with him, such as the Hubu Shangshu Qi Shijiao.

And the local area is even more uncontrollable.

At the current level of governors, Zhu Xieyuan, Wang Sanshan, Lu Zhaoxiong, and so on, the vast majority of them are neutral or even biased towards the Donglin Party, and the situation is even more serious at the level of Taoists, and even a large part of them are biased towards the New Donglin Party. So although now Nanzhili and Zhejiang have already held regimental exercises, and even the Huwei army has exceeded 10,000, the vast majority of local officials actually support it, although the nine thousand years old instructed Mao Yilu to find a way to solve the Changsheng Army and other armed forces, but Mao Yilu still disobeyed the yin.

The reason is simple.

He is a native of Sui'an, Zhejiang.

Other local officials and gentry also boasted that the regimental training was a righteous act.

They ignored the fact that the imperial court had not made a clear decree so far, allowing the gentry in various places to hold regimental exercises, and theoretically regimental training was still an illegal armed force, and it was even inferior to the Red Turban Army, which was at least an official army directly under the chief of ceremonies after changing its name to the Loyal and Brave Army.

Although there is also controversy.

After all, it is impossible for the celebrant to have military power.

But this at least has a holy decree, which is theoretically unruly, but not illegal, and the regimental training has not been recognized by the holy decree so far, but the local gentry, with the permission of local officials, organized local young people to prevent theft, as for thousands of young people with muskets and cannons to prevent theft......

That's also anti-theft.

The gentry of Foshan can organize a group to practice anti-theft, why can't Nanzhili?
