Chengdu to Shunqing more than 500 miles (more than 200 kilometers to reach the line), the army walked for half a month, in early October to Shunqing City, the whole look of the situation changed greatly, everyone dressed neatly, no longer as sloppy as at the beginning.

After setting up camp, he followed the general Wang Chaoyang to meet Chen Shiqi, the governor of Sichuan.

The commander of the thirteen civil officials of Yao and Huang this time was Long Wenguang, who participated in politics in northern Sichuan, and the military generals Liu Jiayin, the general of Sichuan, and the generals Zhao Ronggui and Wang Chaoyang.

Sichuan Governor Chen Shiqi was originally a Sichuan scholar, Yang Xuan was taken as a talent during the college examination, and then served as the Sichuan Bingdao, Sichuan Governor, during his tenure mostly talked about military affairs with Sichuan scholars, and was considered by the imperial court to know the soldiers, and was just promoted to governor last year.

Long Wenguang, who participated in politics in northern Sichuan, also served as a scholar in Guizhou and Sichuan in Sichuan, and was just transferred to northern Sichuan to participate in politics last year, and he has also been to Jinjiang College many times, and he is quite familiar with all students.

After seeing the ceremony, Governor Chen Shiqi sighed and said: "Zixiu, some examiners think that you should be included in the red list during this imperial examination, but others think that you are still young and quite arrogant.

Zixiu, the old man decided so, you won't blame the old man, right? ”

In fact, the examiner's opinions were polarized, and Chen Shiqi suggested it to the examiner in order to avoid suspicion.

However, this kind of thing was only clarified after two years, and now we can only guess.

Hearing what Governor Chen Shiqi said, Yang Xuan hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "The talent of the students is insignificant, and on the day of the college examination, the teacher does not take the students' talents as shallow learning, and takes the students as talents among the crowds, so that they can get to Jinjiang College and become a student of the school."

In this township examination, the students were eager to get ahead, and the heart of fame was too earnest, but fortunately, the teacher pointed out that the students would only be grateful in their hearts, how dare they blame the teacher.

Besides, when Zhang Taiyue (Zhang Juzheng) participated in the imperial examination, the governor Gu Lan also sharpened Mr. Taiyue in order to make Mr. Taiyue a great weapon.

The students did not dare to compare themselves with Mr. Taiyue, since the teacher wanted to sharpen the students, although the students are now joining the army, they do not dare to forget the great kindness of the teacher. ”

Chen Shiqi was quite happy, and said with a smile: "Zixiu, you are a deputy list, if you restrain your mind a little and work hard, you will definitely be able to be named on the gold list in the future, and you will be a high school jinshi."

If you have the status of Jinshi, and then give up the pen and follow Rong, won't you be able to display your life's ambitions? ”

Yang Xuan secretly complained to himself, if he didn't know the direction of history, of course he should participate in the imperial examination, just like Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Chonghuan, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng and others in history.

But after crossing over, I know the direction of history, and now that the Ming Dynasty is dying, how can I come to the imperial examination?

Without thinking about it, Yang Xuan sighed and said: "Teacher, everyone has their own ambitions, and before the announcement of the list, students also took their teacher as an example, hoping to pass the normal imperial examination, hoping to be able to enter high school and then transfer to the army."

But since enlisting in the army, students have discovered that they like martial arts far more than articles.

Students are like fish in water in the military, even if the student does not have a Wenjinshi background, but the student can be a military general, follow the teacher to report to the Son of Heaven, and go down to the people. ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and Long Wenguang, who participated in politics in northern Sichuan for a long time, said with a smile: "My lord, what Zixiu said is reasonable.

At that time, Xiong Tingbi first solved the yuan in Chinese, and then solved the yuan in martial arts, and the people of the time wrote poetry: there are three yuan in the world, and there are no two solutions in the world.

Zi Xiu was originally born in Wenju, and now he is even more in the army, as long as he works hard, he will be able to win martial arts and martial arts in the future. (Martial arts mainly test Tao strategy, horseback riding, archery)

As the saying goes, the prime minister starts from the state and county, and the fierce general starts from the army. Zixiu started as a small flag in the army, and he will not be able to become a good general in the future, and he will be famous in history. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Yang Xuan didn't dare to do it again and again.

Immediately talked about the military affairs, now the Thirteen Huang Families have already controlled Bazhou and Dazhou, and now their big boss Yao Tiandong led his troops to occupy Pengzhou, and the forward was once approaching Shunqing Fucheng.

In order to suppress the rebellion of Yao Huang, the Sichuan governor Yamen concentrated more than 10,000 troops to carry out the suppression, and its main force was the soldiers and horses of Shunqing Mansion, and the soldiers were divided into two routes, one was led by the general Liu Jiayin and the general Wang Chaoyang, along the Jialing River, to attack Pengzhou, and the other was led by Qian Yingrui and Feng Youqing, starting from Guang'an Prefecture to threaten Dazhou in the rear.

In Baoning Mansion, it was led by the staff general Zhu Hualong and Guangyuan garrison Yang Zhan, and the two armies attacked from the north and south, and Yao Huang must be wiped out.

Chen Shiqi, the governor of Sichuan, liked to talk about military affairs with all the people in the past, and after the assignment was properly assigned, he looked at the next crowd: "Everyone, Yao Huang attacked the prefectures and counties, plundered the people, extorted good people, and made the local people miserable, this time we must ******** and wipe them out."

Everyone, let's see, is there anything that needs to be improved in this arrangement? ”

Everyone said something inconsequential, and finally it was Yang Xuan's turn, as Chen Shiqi said, in the past, Yang Xuan liked to talk about military affairs in the academy, and was ridiculed as Xiao Zhao Kuo, but now that he is in the army, of course he hopes to be able to talk.

This can make Yang Xuan quite difficult, as Chen Shiqi and others said, Yang Xuan used to like to talk about military affairs, but now when asked, if he doesn't speak, he will inevitably be despised by others.

But now it is different from the past, in the past, scholars talked about politics, there was nothing in the sea and the sky, and now in the face of local officials, his own little Baizong put forward opinions, just like in the previous life, this is a university question.

Suddenly, there was a light in the eyes, and the various departments along the way were seriously in arrears, the morale of the whole army was low, and some people even talked about the failure at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact it was mainly the failure of the state finances.

Yang Xuan smiled awkwardly and nodded: "The teacher's use of troops this time is thoughtful and dense, and it is not easy to deal with it in terms of strategy.

But as the saying goes, soldiers and horses go first before they move grain and grass, and fighting a war is not only relying on the generals to make decisions on the spot, not only relying on the courage of the soldiers, and the most important thing is money and food.

The officers and men of the various departments that went to the front line this time have been without pay for two months, and if this continues, I am afraid that the soldiers will complain.

Take the northern Shaanxi Liukou as an example, the imperial court has almost wiped it out many times, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have also surrendered to the imperial court many times, but why did they resurge in the end, mainly because the imperial court had no money and food to settle the displaced people, mainly because the displaced people did not trust the imperial court at all, and surrendered today and rebelled tomorrow. ”

Everyone was silent for a while, Chen Shiqi was touched, and sighed: "Now the whole country is full of wolf smoke, and the imperial court needs silver taels everywhere. Although Sichuan Province can also harvest 2 million quintals of grain and 560,000 taels of silver a year, most of them are transported to the imperial court, and the local interception is very limited.

Now Yao Huang controls Bazhou, Dazhou, and Pengzhou in northern Sichuan, and he collects less money and grain, and in the past few months, various ministries need to recruit troops, and they have hollowed out the government yamen, so it is normal for the army to be in arrears.

Two days ago, the old man discussed with the governor Liu and the prefects in various places, and prepared to raise money from large households. ”

Thinking of the various rumors he heard about Chongzhen's fundraising in his previous life, and now hearing Chen Shiqi say this, Yang Xuan felt that he had probably found the root cause of the predicament of the imperial court in the late Ming Dynasty.

Yang Xuan arched his hand and persuaded him: "Teacher, on the surface, although this fundraising is a good way, but now the people are forgetting their righteousness when they see profit, and the people's hearts are not ancient, seeing that the government is asking for donations, everyone will inevitably shirk it in every possible way, and it is just a matter of hypocrisy and wrongdoing. ”

Chen Shiqi was secretly frightened, and said with a gloomy expression: "It's not okay to raise donations, do you continue to apportionment to the people?" Since the rebellion of the Liaodong Tatars, first the Liao, and then the salary, the people have been overwhelmed, and if the people are apportioned more, it will be even more miserable. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Yang Xuan's mouth, and he shook his head secretly. Although there are only 3 million people in Sichuan on the fish scale list, many people estimate that the Sichuan people reached the level of the late Southern Song Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the population of Sichuan exceeded 10 million.

Although it is a troubled time, this time from Dongchengdu Mansion to Shunqing Mansion, most of the Pingba along the way are full of crops, villages are connected along the way, and the people's living rooms and lives are no worse than the life of Sichuan people in the 80s.

After thinking about it, Yang Xuan arched his hand and said: "What the teacher said is true, in the past few years, natural disasters have continued, and the poor people are miserable, but many large families are still pavilions, and their lives are still very luxurious and rich.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the township where the students live, the annual tax collection of yamen servants and white servants is nearly 1,000 taels a year.

In this Shunqing City, there are more than ten families with thousands of wealth.

The teacher only needs to change slightly, with the wealth of Sichuan, why can't he raise the salaries of more than 10,000 new recruits? ”

As soon as they heard that Yang Xuan was going to take the rich and was about to talk about the white servants, which could damage the interests of most people, everyone was in an uproar.

Shi Jinchen, the prefect of Shunqing, even took the case and said: "Crazy, absolutely crazy, others say that you are Xiao Zhao Kuo, it seems that the real Zhao Kuo is nothing more than that."

If you don't know the price of firewood and rice, you can solve the tax problem by changing the tax collection method at a young age, do you think you are really Zhang Taiyue?

In the past few years, natural disasters have continued, and the people are not happy, and they actually keep saying that there are more than ten families in Shunqing City.

The world is not ridiculing the Qing Governor's Mansion for three years, 100,000 white flowers and silver, do you think that there are more than 100,000 taels of white flowers and silver in the old man's mansion, the governor's house, the political adult's family, and the general soldier's family?"

Yang Xuan argued with reason, but everyone didn't listen to the explanation at all, and was finally kicked out of the yamen by Shi Jinchen, the prefect of Shunqing.
