That night, Gao Junshan summoned his five auxiliary ministers, the first was the first assistant Bailisha, the second was Cai Zhishan, the third was Liu Lishun, the fourth was Liu Hongru, and the fifth was Tian Wenju.

The five ministers were summoned separately, Gao Junshan summoned them one by one in the imperial study of his heart hall, the five ministers arrived at the Wenhua Hall at the same time, and Gao Junshan asked them to wait in the Wenhua Hall to meet one by one.

Bailisha is the first assistant, in charge of the capital, and is naturally the first to summon.

Gao Junshan first praised Bailisha for his superb wisdom in negotiating with the Rakshasa mission, and their negotiations in the capital strongly supported the front line, dismantled the summer offensive of the Rakshasa country, and bought our army a year to consolidate the defense line on the south bank of Lake Balkhash.

Immediately afterwards, he inquired about the implementation of the vernacular literary movement in the capital.

Gao Junshan had implemented the vernacular in his Chongwen Academy a few years earlier, and now he has tried the vernacular in the palace, and he did not force it, but implemented it. Because in his palace, Chongwen's disciples occupy a strong one-third position, and as a military attaché, there are also one-third of those who have worked hard to enter the yamen, these people are the main force of the vernacular language, and the remaining one-third are the officials left over from the previous dynasty.

Bailisha said: "Back to Your Majesty, the implementation of the vernacular is not very ideal, unless the imperial examination system is completely abolished, the official documents of the government will change to the direction of the vernacular." ”

Gao Junshan said: "The text can be temporarily ancient, and the speech can be changed to the general line, right?" Can't the people of the Manchu Dynasty talk as well as they do at home? ”

Bailisha said: "The implementation of the vernacular is a new thing, you have to take your time, you can't be in a hurry, the officials of the previous dynasty are all old guys, and it is very difficult for you to change them, no better than young people." ”

"Your vernacular is slippery! Why is it so difficult for them to change? Gao Junshan said with some dissatisfaction.

Bailisha said: "Your Majesty, the subordinates have changed because they often communicate with the disciples of Chongwen Academy, how did they learn it?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "You can dispense with the word 'subordinate', just use me." ”

"Yes!"

Gao Junshan asked again: "How is Cui Zhongping's corn grown?" ”

Bailisha said: "This year, we have promoted corn planting in Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces, and achieved great results, not only solving the problem of eating by ourselves, but also taking out 50,000 stone of corn to support Henan and Shandong. ”

Gao Junshan instructed: "Let the farmers in Henan and Shandong also learn to grow corn, and don't just wait for others to come to help." ”

"Yes!" Bailisha recorded while responding.

Gao Junshan asked again: "From the dense population of Sichuan, how is the plan to emigrate people to Xinjiang and Yuzi provinces?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's going well. We told them that if they went to a new place, each person would get five acres of land and twenty taels of silver, and those who came to the government office to sign up were one after another. ”

Gao Junshan emphasized: "It must be the people's will, and we must not force them. ”

"We have done a lot of propaganda and told the people of Sichuan what His Majesty meant, and they have enthusiastically signed up, all of which are voluntary." Baili Shadao.

"That's good!"

"There is one more thing to tell Your Majesty."

"Speak!"

"The oil working group sent to Sichuan has been working hard for three years. They found oil. Bailisha excitedly told Gao Junshan.

Gao Junshan said happily: "I want to reward the oil working group heavily, they have insisted on looking for oil in the wilderness for several years, and their persistence has finally paid off. Immediately organize a mining team to go to Sichuan to exploit oil! ”

Bailisha asked: "What kind of mining team do you want to organize?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "Transfer the oil working group back to the capital, and let them decide how large a mining team to send to Sichuan." We have to invest a lot of money to extract the oil. In addition, after the oil team returned to Beijing to recuperate, they immediately asked them to go to Karamay, Xinjiang, where there is oil in the Tarim Basin, and asked them to continue their search. ”

"As long as Your Majesty gives an order, the ministers will arrange it properly."

Gao Junshan was 10,000 at ease with Bailisha, he believed in Bailisha's ability, and finally he corrected Bailisha and said: "It's not a minister, it's me." ”

Bailisha repeated: "I'll arrange it." ”

Gao Junshan said: "That's it tonight, Cai Zhishan, Liu Hongru and they are still waiting outside to see me, you go back first!" ”

"Resignation!"

Gao Junshan knew that it was difficult for Bailisha to change his words, so he just waved his hand and said to Bailisha: "You invite Cai Zhishan to come in to see me by the way." ”

Not long after Bailisha went out, Cai Zhishan came in.

Gao Junshan mainly exchanged views on the Rakshasa Kingdom with Cai Zhishan. He told Cai Zhishan his thoughts that the area controlled by the troops in Xinjiang was not large enough, and that Gao Junshan's purpose was to drive the Rakshasa Kingdom out of Asia and drive the army to the Ural Mountains and the Ural River to deploy defenses. And now Lake Balkhash.

"Are you sure?" Cai Zhishan asked worriedly.

Gao Junshan said firmly: "As long as our strategic purpose is clear and unswervingly implemented, we will definitely be able to do it!" ”

Cai Zhishan was still worried: "Those places are too far away from Middle-earth, even if we occupy these places, it will be difficult for us to control them in the future." ”

Gao Junshan said with a smile: "Bolan doesn't need to worry, after our train is built, distance will not be a problem." ”

"What is a train?" Cai Zhishan asked incomprehensibly.

Gao Junshan explained: "The train is a means of transportation, it is very long, it can carry a lot of things, it can also sit people, it is amazing, it can run faster than a horse. It only takes three days to travel from the capital to Xinjiang. ”

Cai Zhishan still didn't understand and asked, "What kind of transport is this?" Isn't it similar to the Shenxing Taibao? ”

Gao Junshan didn't know how to explain it to him for a while, and finally told him that after the train was built, you would understand everything, and now you asked in vain.

So they changed the subject.

Gao Junshan told Cai Zhishan that the Persian kingdom was now under a military threat from the Ottoman Empire.

Although Abbasid I fought against the Ottoman Empire three times (1603-1613, 1616-1618, 1623), as a result of the war, the Safavid dynasty gained dominion over the whole of Transcaucasia. In 1590, a peace treaty was signed with the Ottoman Empire, and in 1622, Abbasid I also recaptured Hormuz from Portugal with the help of the English fleet. By 1623, Abbasid I had ruled a vast empire that stretched from the Tigris River in the west to the Indus River in the east.

However, after Abbasid II took over the Persian regime, the Ottoman Sultan's empress dowager had already begun to intervene, and she bullied Abbasid II for his accession to the throne, and the two countries were once again at war on the border.

Gao Junshan said: "Although we are based on the principle of non-interference in European affairs, we must protect our own vested interests, so we must firmly support the Persian kingdom. ”

Cai Zhishan said regretfully: "I'm afraid it's beyond the reach of the whip!" ”

Gao Junshan said confidently: "With my Gao Junshan, there is nothing that can't be done." ”

Cai Zhishan looked at Gao Junshan with admiration, and then poured cold water on him and said, "At present, we are at war with the Rakshasa Kingdom, how can we support the Persian Kingdom?" ”
