In the cabinet, a large stack of official documents is placed in front of Cao Bianjiao, all of which are urgent matters waiting for him to be the master, Yuan Jixian, Wan Yuan Ji and others are also there to discuss with him, and new members have been added to the cabinet, Dali Temple Shaoqing Yan Qiheng entered the cabinet, Cao Bianjiao specially approved, the cabinet has been customized, the number of people is so much, the burden of everyone is heavy, they are not young people, Cao Bianjiao is not always there, so the number of people must be maintained, and it is natural that there will be no more, otherwise the efficiency will not go up if you just eat. Therefore, the cabinet team is not too expensive.

"Shaanxi Governor Wang Zhongxiao, Shaanxi Political Envoy Wen Anzhi, Shaanxi Governor Zhan Tianyan, Shandong Governor Wen Anzhi, Shandong Political Envoy Zuo Maodi, Shandong Governor Yu Yinggui, Shanxi Governor Gong Yan, Shanxi Political Envoy Qu Shiyun, Shanxi Envoy Zeng Hengying have all gone to take office, but this matter of Beizhili, we are still not sure yet, and we need to ask the general to make it clear."

Listening to Yuan Jixian's narration, Cao Bianjiao also bowed slightly, these people were all nominated by them after discussion, they are all well-known and famous officials, but they are worthy of a big responsibility, Cao Bianjiao has nothing at the moment, as for Beizhili, he has also made plans, and he just proposed it today.

"What I mean is to abolish the north and south of the province, the two Beijing system can be retained, but the two imperial courts, is really a bit cumbersome, redundant officials and redundant personnel, has always been the disadvantage of the imperial court, we have been streamlining the organization over the years, and a lot of idle posts have been abolished, now I mean, Shuntianfu and Yingtianfu are retained, the rest of the provinces of Beizhili are relocated to Hebei Province, and the south Zhili is divided into Anhui and Jiangsu provinces, which is also the old system before, the south has changed, the capital can be moved to Beijing, and the north has changed, and it can be based on Jiangnan, I don't know what you think? ”

"This matter is not unavoidable, but now that Beijing has been recovered, whether the imperial court will continue to stay in Nanjing, or move back to Beijing, there should be a saying, the emperor also asked before, saying that the mausoleums of several former emperors are in Beijing, I think the emperor also has the intention of returning north, I don't know what the general thinks?"

"This matter is not decided for the time being, at present, the north is initially decided, and the northern economy is in recession, and a large number of materials need to be transported to the south, if the imperial court moves back to Beijing, when the time comes, it needs to be transported from the north and south of the Yangtze River, although there is a canal for convenience, but the consumption of this way is also very great, before the Manchu Qing Dynasty has not been destroyed, it is better to stay in Nanjing!" Cao Bianjiao didn't want to move back to Beijing, that place is now in a depression, and the Son of Heaven guards the country, which is a big fallacy, not every emperor is as heroic as Zhu Di.

Everyone nodded one after another, and they also agreed with Cao Bianjiao's meaning at the moment, and Cao Bianjiao immediately continued: "I mean, let Liu Zhongzao be the governor of Hebei, Yang Wenzan be the political envoy of Hebei, Wang Yi will be the envoy of Hebei, Wang Xigon will be the governor of Anhui, Zheng Yunyuan will be the political envoy of Anhui, Ye Yiyun will be the envoy of Anhui, Yan Yingyuan will be the governor of Jiangsu, Wang Yangzheng will be the political envoy of Jiangsu, and Xia Wanheng will be the envoy of Jiangsu......"

These people, it is very interesting, several of them are the experience of the General's Mansion, everything, or they were promoted by Cao Bianjiao, Cao Bianjiao naturally trusts them, so he will reuse these people he trusts, it is impossible to really be selfless, if there are not a few of his own people in control, he, the general, would have been kicked out of power ten times by others.

Several people looked at each other, and immediately bowed: "Follow the general's order!" "Cao Bianjiao has the right to be arbitrary, and he can directly issue an edict in the name of the emperor, this is the privilege given to him by the emperor, even if they oppose it, it is useless, and the official reputation of these people is not bad, they have nothing to refute, they can only temporarily obey Cao Bianjiao's orders.

"The North Korean side has sent someone to reply to the letter, the Korean lord Li Ju is willing to return to the Ming Dynasty again, I intend to trade with the DPRK again, give them a certain amount of support, contain the Qing court from the south, I need two ministers to go, you will discuss it later, who is willing to take the initiative to go, this time it is not an envoy, but a resident in North Korea, to facilitate the exchange between the two places."

For North Korea, based on the impression of later generations, Cao Bianjiao actually has no good impression, but they are willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty, and Cao Bianjiao will not object, so let them be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, they can trade and contact, and they can also contain the Qing army, even if it is a group of earth dogs, how to say that there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, there is always some use, and Cao Bianjiao is also ready to use North Korea as a springboard, the next step is to impress the Japanese country, give them a dismount, let them submit to the Ming Dynasty, Cao Bianjiao's hundreds of thousands of sailors didn't want to be there all the time, so they had to pull them out to practice.

"The other is the south of Burma, he was just a Xuanfu Division of my Ming Dynasty, and now he dares to swagger as the king, and he has not come to pay tribute for many years, it is really unorthodox, I will send someone to reprimand first, if they are interested, do a good job of my Ming Xuanfu Division, then that's it, if they don't listen, I don't mind letting people exterminate them, although it is now a hundred wastes to be revived, it is not appropriate to use troops, but those who should be won over must be co-opted, and those who should be warned must be warned, and they cannot fall into the majesty of my Ming Dynasty."

"General, the lower official suggests that you repair a letter first, see what their attitude is, and then send someone to it before it is too late, lest they jump off the wall in a hurry, move to kill me, and harm my minister, in that case, the gain will outweigh the loss." Yan Qiheng, who had been standing there silently, also stepped forward and said at the moment, putting forward his own suggestions.

"It's okay! Then bother you, in the letter to declare the majesty of my Ming Dynasty, you don't have to talk about any etiquette with these barbarians, you just said, they don't understand, they recognize the fist, whose fist is hard, they are afraid of whom, just like North Korea, the Manchu Qing army was strong before, they sent people to surrender and flatter, and now I see that my Ming Dynasty is reinvigorated, and they come to contact me Ming in a hurry, it can be seen that the way of etiquette also depends on people, sometimes guns are more effective. ”

"The general is worthy of being from a military background, this speech is different, it is very bright, then act according to the general's orders!" Yuan Jixian also said with a smile at the moment.

In the city of Beijing, Jiang Hao, who went to Beijing to see, is also like a disease and insect at the moment, and it is difficult to go back in Beijing, just in this half a month, Yuan Shu gave him wine and food every day, so that Jiang Hao was also quite grateful, but he didn't know that among the wine and food, but with poison, I don't want you to die in the third watch, and I don't want you to die in the fifth watch, slowly devouring your internal organs, not to mention a month, before it finally broke out, but at most it was fifty days, Yuan Shu didn't want to use such a method, But in the face of people like Jiang Huang, he is not unbearable at all, treasonous ministers, repeatedly despicable, in his opinion, it is innocent of death.

And Song Xiance also arrested more than a dozen Jin merchants in one go, all of whom have conclusive evidence and have deep ties with the Manchu Dynasty, especially the Fan family in Shanxi, headed by Fan Yongdou, helping the Manchu Qing Dynasty to do things, it is not a year or two years, it is more than ten or twenty years of involvement, the crime is great, he was directly raided, and all his family members were arrested, according to Cao Bianjiao's instructions, after the trial, they were immediately distributed, Song Xiance did such a thing, but he was not soft, and he suddenly copied more than 2.7 million taels of silver and 80,000 taels of gold. There are also goods worth millions of taels, all of which are directly returned to the Ming court.
