The group passed near the North Gate Bridge, Yun Xi remembered something, stopped sideways and said to Wang Bu: "Qilu Noodle Restaurant is near here, you go there to express your gratitude to Boss Tang's family on behalf of Gu and reward some things." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and I forgot in Jinyiwei just now, Li Ya was placed in Jinyiwei as a hundred households, and you also went to his house to express gratitude and reward something on behalf of Lone. ”

Wang Bu replied: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has already rewarded them, especially Li Ya, who was rewarded as the hereditary hundred households of Jinyiwei; Why is Your Highness bothering to reward it all over again? ”

Yun Xi replied: "Your Majesty's reward is Your Majesty's, and their timely notification saved Lone's life, how can Lone not express it?" He turned his head to Chen Xing and said, "You go and buy some ordinary people's gadgets, if there are specialties of Anqing Mansion, it is the best." After buying it, take it to Wenhua Gate, and I will let the little eunuch wait there. Chen Xing promised.

Wang Bu and Chen Xing each took one or two people to run errands, Yun Xi sent a horse to the palace, went to the household department for a turn, handed over the horse to the eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor at Chengtian Gate, and then walked to the Jinshen Palace, and at the same time did not forget to send someone to Wenhua Hall to inform Wang Jin to send someone to arrange someone to wait for Chen Xing at Wenhua Gate.

Yun Xi never left the palace from time to time (1 to 3 p.m.), and took a turn, and now it is only three minutes of Shen Shi (4:30 p.m.), and Lao Zhu is reviewing the folds as usual. He saw Yun Xi walk in and said, "Yun Xi is coming back now?" ”

Yun Xi saw that there were other eunuchs, and saluted respectfully and said, "Hello Grandpa Huang." Then he straightened up and replied: "Back to the emperor's grandfather, the officials of the Bashu Division of the Household Department handled the matter very well, and there was nothing that I needed to interfere in, so I just walked around and didn't do anything, so I came back so early." ”

Yun Xi paused for a moment and continued: "But I think that because the Bashu Division has added such a job, the personnel are stretched thin and not enough, can the imperial grandfather temporarily send a few officials from other yamen to the Bashu Division to help?" ”

Lao Zhu listened to him and said, "Have you told Zhao Mian?" After speaking, without waiting for Yun Xi to answer, he said: "It's useless to talk to Zhao Mian at this time, the entire household department is very busy in the spring and autumn seasons, and it is estimated that Zhao Mian will not be able to transfer people." ”

Yun Xi patted a little fart and said, "Grandpa Huang is really discerning, that's how Zhao Shangshu answered me." ”

Lao Zhu laughed. If the official said so, he must have thought that the official was patting on the back; But his children and grandchildren said so, and he was very happy.

Lao Zhu said: "Let grandpa think about which department can draw people." Now the Yi people from Yunyun have not returned, and the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Court are very busy; The Ministry of Industry also has official business of repairing embankments along the Huai River, but it can't spare people; The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War are also very busy right now. As for the Criminal Department and Dali Temple that he did not mention, there was no free time during the entire Hongwu period, ready to arrest and judge officials at any time.

Lao Zhu thought for a while and said, "Only the Inspectorate can still send people, I gave Zhan Hui an instruction and asked him to select a few people from the Inspectorate to help the household department." ”

Yun Xi saluted again and said, "Grandpa Xie Huang, the officials of the Bashu Division of the Ministry of Households. But although he thanked him, he was also selling cuteness, which made Lao Zhu laugh.

Then Lao Zhu asked the eunuchs serving around him to go out, let Yun Xi sit beside him, and said to Yun Xi: "Yun Xi, you have been officially canonized as the prince, and when Biao'er was canonized as the crown prince, it was only at the age of twenty-four (imaginary age) that he started and started to play; But Grandpa is now sixty-five, and there may not be eight or nine years left for you to grow up, and you are more mature and intelligent than the standard, so Grandpa will start teaching you how to deal with the twists and turns correctly. ”

As he spoke, he took out five copies of the folds from the thick pile of folds in front of him, and said to Yunxi: "Look at these five folds, they are Qu Neng's report on the current situation of Timur in the crusade against Yuelu, Huai'an Mansion in the report on the Huaihe River water control, Shaanxi and Qinbu political envoys to ask for exemption and exemption of this autumn payment, Huating County Inspection Department to report on the tribute of North Korea, and the Ministry of Officials to report on the transfer or retention of officials who have completed their three, six, and nine-year terms in the second half of this year, and whose grades are from the fifth rank to the seventh grade. ”

"When dealing with government affairs, we should put urgent matters first, and in urgent matters, military intelligence should be the first; Of the five recitals, Qu Neng's performance was the most urgent military situation, so he dealt with this recital first. ”

As he spoke, he opened Qu Neng's fold, read it himself, and let Yun Xi read it again, which made Yun Xi think for a while and asked, "Did you find anything?" ”

Yun Xi replied: "Grandpa, Qu Neng just said that although he defeated Yuelu Timur in Shuangwolf Village now, he let him run away and failed to annihilate them all, and now he has pursued to Jianchang, and then please change to another unit to fight, what do you need to pay attention to?" ”

Lao Zhu said: "Qu Neng's performance is quite honest, there is nothing to pretend to be, but there are also ambiguities. You see this sentence, 'Although the Ganzhou guards are brave and good at fighting, but now they have been working for a long time, and the army's minds are returned, please transfer the Lanzhou guards to replace them', the actual situation is likely to be that the Ganzhou guards have suffered heavy casualties, and they are no longer able to fight, and even if they are driven to fight, disobedience may occur. ”

"In this case, we must agree to transfer troops, and fight in the northwest in the next few years, and take into account the situation of Ganzhou Wei when transferring the guards."

Yun Xi said: "Then Qu Neng used soldiers to suffer a lot of casualties, shouldn't he be reprimanded?" ”

Lao Zhu said: "Yunxi, you have to understand that every general is successful and his bones are dry, and the standing out of every general is based on a large number of soldiers killed and wounded; Every war is won, and a large number of soldiers pay with their lives. Deaths and injuries are inevitable. ”

"And if a general is reprimanded for suffering heavy casualties in battle, who will dare to fight in the future?"

In fact, Yun Xi also understood these words about Lao Zhu when he read the history books, but the general truth is easy to understand, and people who have not experienced it when they encounter specific things are rarely able to deal with them soberly.

But fortunately, Yunxi now has Lao Zhu to guide him and pass on his experience of more than 40 years of experience in his career as a horseman.

Then Lao Zhu wrote more than a dozen words on the fold and put them in a small box next to it, and Yun Xi noticed that the box read: The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

After that, Lao Zhu picked up the excerpt of 'Shaanxi and Qin Bu Political Envoys Please Reduce and Exempt This Autumn Payment', and said to Yun Xi: "Taxation is the top priority of the country, second only to the military situation, so the second to deal with this excerpt." Then Ibid., read it yourself first, then let Yun Xi see it, and then wait a while to ask Yun Xi for his opinion.

Yun Xi was much more careful this time than last time, thought about it a little more, and said: "Judging from the excerpts of the political envoys, it is true that the local harvest is not good this year due to natural and man-made disasters, and it is impossible to complete the prescribed grain collection, but this is from the excerpt alone, it is impossible to know whether the excerpt is exaggerated. ”

Lao Zhu said: "Your last sentence is very good, although the magistrate does not dare to make something out of nothing (he will dare in the later stage), but it is common to emphasize or even exaggerate the difficulties. Moreover, these officials are all good at playing with words, and it is impossible to tell whether it is the actual situation or not from the recital alone. ”

"That's when the effort is going to be used elsewhere. Grandpa, I basically didn't deal with the excerpts at first, stayed in the middle and didn't send them, and waited a few days to see if there were similar excerpts from the Shaanxi and Qin prefectures; There is also to let Jinyiwei keep an eye on the officials of the DPRK and China from Shaanxi and Qin to see if there are any letters sent from home; In addition, it is to ask the political envoys of Sanjin, Heyu, Bashu and other provinces bordering Shaanxi and Qin to report on the situation of their own prefectures and the neighboring Shaanxi and Qin prefectures. With a three-pronged approach, you can make the right decision. ”

Yun Xi was immediately impressed. Lao Zhu is also very thoughtful, and it is already the most comprehensive method in this era. This is that there is no GPS now, if there is GPS now, Lao Zhu must have asked the household department to print out the real-time picture of GPS positioning for him to show before making a decision.

Lao Zhu didn't write on the fold this time, but just threw it into a relatively large small box, and the top of the frame read: Stay in the middle.
