"Wang Qing, in your opinion, how should you run Liangguang?"

Running the two Guangzhou, sticking to Hunan and Jiangxi, and competing for the Yangtze River are mutually reinforcing, and if any one goes wrong, the whole plan will fail. Emperor Longwu did not understand military affairs, but he was an expert in administrative management, and the plan given by Wang Kefan was too rough, and how to use the land of two provinces to confront the whole country, Emperor Longwu felt that it was unreliable.

Wang Kefan felt reliable.

Emperor Longwu's attitude, there is a door!

But the exam for him is not over yet!

"Chen Youzhi Liangguang Recital, please read it!"

Wang Kefan took out a haodejihua book that had been prepared for a long time, and if Emperor Longwu refused his request, this jihua book would not be given to him.

Emperor Longwu took the Jihua book and opened it to read it carefully, and his first impression was that the format was novel and the style was simple.

The beginning of the book is an analysis of the current situation, comparing the military, political, and economic affairs of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

"It's a pragmatic article." Emperor Longwu gave an evaluation in his heart, and he was fascinated before he knew it.

He has seen thousands of movements, almost every piece of music is a gorgeous article, all kinds of rhetorical devices are full of tricks, and some exquisite sentences make people can't help but praise the stanzas, but if they read too much, they will be immune, and they will put an extra question mark in their hearts.

This Jihua book is in a completely different style, with no finishing touches throughout, only sober analysis, precise figures, and rigorous logical reasoning, which is more persuasive.

Emperor Longwu especially appreciated the tables, the contents of which were clear at a glance and could be compared intuitively. It contains several times more information than a large paragraph of text.

There is a table that Emperor Longwu looked at for five minutes, which listed the tax revenues and military expenditures of the Ming and Qing dynasties in recent years.

After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the territory occupied by the Qing Dynasty became larger and larger, and the annual tax revenue continued to grow, from more than 2 million taels at the beginning, to 8 million taels of silver last year, and the military expenditure increased even more fiercely, accounting for more than 90 percent of the tax revenue, and the remaining less than 10 percent was other administrative expenses.

However, the financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty has been declining, and military spending has also dropped sharply. The proportion of military spending in fiscal revenue was always much lower than that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

There is a paragraph in the table that shows that if the war situation did not change dramatically, the tax revenue of the Manchu Qing would continue to grow, exceeding 10 million taels within two years. Within five years, it would reach 14 million taels, and the military spending of the Manchus would reach an astonishing figure of 13 million taels. However, due to the restructuring of the Eight Banners and the expansion of the Green Battalion. There is still a certain gap, which is mainly made up by looting and looting in the war.

At the same time, the Manchu government was more efficient, and most of the tax revenue was converted into military spending, thus arming a large number of troops, while the Southern Ming had serious corruption and waste. Military spending is getting lower and lower.

Through this table, it seems that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is winning one after another, constantly expanding its army, and constantly occupying the rich Jiangnan region. By burning, killing and looting, and expropriating violently, he seized a lot of wealth, and then armed more troops to attack the Southern Ming Dynasty...... However, Nanming's side was losing and retreating, helpless, and was about to perish.

Emperor Longwu was in a heavy mood!

The second part is the specific measures to govern the two Guangzhou, there are dozens of pages thick, Emperor Longwu glanced at the catalog first, and felt that it was very thoughtful, and all aspects were covered, and there were some places that even he didn't expect.

"Wang Kefan really has a talent for civil governance!" Emperor Longwu gave seventy points first, no matter what the content is, it is not easy for a show to take these aspects into account.

Being able to be civil and martial, this is the most basic requirement for serving as a feudal official, he can only fight, and without the talent of civil governance, he will not be able to do a good job of supervising the river.

Of course, there are obvious shortcomings in this catalog, and the order is confusing at a glance, such as the first article is the opening of the imperial examination, the second article is the rule of Qing officials, and some priorities are not distinguished...... The Manchu Qing Dynasty is almost at the doorstep, of course, it should be raised and trained first, how can the matter of imperial examination and education be put in the first place?

"Sure enough, he was born in Xiucai, and he always thinks about the things of scholars." Emperor Longwu smiled in his heart, the imperial examination is related to the foundation of the imperial court, and he has always attached great importance to it.

In this era, there were not many people who could read and write, and most of the common people were illiterate, and to run a huge country, a large number of intellectuals were needed...... However, Nanming's territory is getting smaller and smaller, more and more officials are surrendering, and there are fewer and fewer talents to use, and in some places even the basic official establishment is not complete.

Therefore, Emperor Longwu had already presided over a township examination to select a group of talents and people, but because of the tight war, the subsequent examination was not held.

Wang Kefan may or may not understand these truths, but no matter what, let's take a look at them first.

After a closer look, Emperor Longwu couldn't help but be stunned!

The first paragraph of the article first pointed out that the imperial examination was an important channel for the rise of the gentry and an important means to win the support of the gentry, especially in the war zone between the Ming and Qing armies, and it was necessary to open the imperial examination more widely and compete with the Manchus for the resources behind these gentry.

Emperor Longwu had to admit that this was very reasonable, but was this something that a military general should consider?

He raised his head and glanced at Wang Kefan deeply, there was a deep meaning in his eyes, but Wang Kefan's expression was very calm.

Read on.

Emperor Longwu's face changed greatly!

The second paragraph of the text points out that Emperor Longwu was not a descendant of Emperor Wanli, that his prestige in the Ming Dynasty was limited, that he lacked his own team, and that after the Fujian Revolution, most of the civil and military officials loyal to Emperor Longwu were lost, and Emperor Longwu seriously lacked available talents.

If this problem is not solved, other administrative measures will be in the air, so it is necessary to first open the imperial examination, select a group of enterprising young people, and enrich the ranks of officials in the imperial court.

"No wonder the imperial examination is listed in the first place!" Emperor Longwu stared at Wang Kefan for a full minute, as if he knew him for the first time.

Take a breath and look down.

The article put forward suggestions on how to select officials, appropriately reform the subjects of the imperial examination, and relax the standards to increase the number of enke, and promote as many officials as possible, these principles are quite decent, Emperor Longwu nodded, no special expression.

Then came the second article, the rule of the Qing officials.

The first paragraph of the article points out that corruption and superfluity are the death symptoms of the Ming Dynasty, and if they are not resolved, other administrative measures cannot be implemented, or they will become distorted in the process of implementation, so it is necessary to rebuild the Metropolitan Procuratorate, improve the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and strictly rectify the rule of officials.

"It's not easy!" Emperor Longwu sighed softly, the rule of officials has always been a difficult problem, and it is impossible to solve it completely, but through a movement-style rectification, it is indeed possible to change the atmosphere of officialdom in the short term...... The selection of a group of new officials through the imperial examination and the rebuilding of the Metropolitan Procuratorate with them as the team is a step-by-step measure that can be tried.

His interest intensified, and he continued to look down.

The second paragraph of the text points out that in order to fight against the powerful Manchu Qing, it is necessary to integrate the Liliang of the whole country of the Southern Ming, but the feudal officials in various parts of the Southern Ming Dynasty have a tendency to become warlords and disrespect the orders of the imperial court, and in the long run, they will be defeated by the Manchus.

Compared with how Tengjiao has been running Huguang for many years, Huguang officialdom can't insert needles, water can't splash in, it is like an independent kingdom, and the imperial court does not have any personnel appointment and dismissal power, so it can't control He Tengjiao...... If we want to solve this problem, we must meddle in the Huguang officialdom by cleaning up the officials, gradually erect He Tengjiao's foundation, and Zuihou will take it down in one fell swoop, so as to achieve a smooth transition of the political situation in Huguang.

"Smack!"

Emperor Longwu slammed the table.

"You are the art of the emperor, where did you learn it?!" Emperor Longwu shouted angrily, he finally understood that cleaning up the rule of officials was just a means, and its purpose was to seize power!

Emperor Longwu spent half of his life in the high wall, if it weren't for the death of the Ming Dynasty, he would not have been the emperor, and he was not good at this kind of imperial art, and he only faintly understood it after becoming the emperor. Unexpectedly, Wang Kefan took one step and counted three steps and proposed a complete set of detailed plans!

"This man is too dangerous!" The first thought flashed in Emperor Longwu's heart, he no longer dared to treat Wang Kefan as an ordinary general.

"I can't stop him!" Emperor Longwu suddenly understood that Wang Kefan had nothing to fear, he was just a fugitive emperor, but Wang Kefan had nearly 10,000 elite soldiers under him, and there were few troops in the entire Ming Dynasty who were his opponents.

"He has no ill will towards me......" Emperor Longwu's mood calmed down a little, and he immediately reacted, Wang Kefan was not a treacherous minister, he was so frank and unrestrained, just to help himself.

"Is this man too stupid, or too smart?" How can anyone be such a courtier? How could anyone treat the emperor like this? A sense of humiliation rose in Emperor Longwu's heart.

The emperor's technique, just like the emperor shit and fart, can do it or not, especially can't be put on the table to say, Wang Kefan not only said, but also planned to shit and fart with himself.

This is too much to take the emperor seriously, aren't you afraid that I will kill him in the future?

"Bixia, the minister is for the sake of Daming." Wang Kefan seemed to guess his thoughts: "The so-called emperor's technique, the minister will not know, I just want to do my best to help me Ming Zhongxing!" ”

Emperor Longwu froze.

Wang Kefan said very clearly, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, he didn't mention him as the emperor, and people didn't care at all!

"Wang Qing, if one day, you are a powerful minister, I am a Ming Jun, how do you and I get along with each other?" Emperor Longwu was a little worried, worried that he would not be able to control Wang Kefan.

"I don't know."

Wang Kefan was silent for a moment and added: "Let's defeat the Manchus first." ”

He is a modern person's thinking, it was nothing to be a man with his tail between his legs before, once he stepped into the political foreground, he would definitely be sharp, and sooner or later he would be regarded as a powerful minister.

While pretending to be a loyal minister, while developing your own shili, it will definitely not work, do you really think that everyone else is a fool?

Ugly words are not ugly in front, instead of suspicion of each other in the future, fighting and splitting, it is better to let Emperor Longwu have a mental preparation now, if he can pass this level, everyone will work together to defeat the Manchu Qing first.

Let's defeat the Manchus first! (To be continued......)
