Like the eighth year of the Apocalypse, the ninth year of the Apocalypse also came in a series of tedious ceremonial activities, followed by the inspection of the Praetorian Guards, which was a particularly important festival for the ancients, and officials would continue to take a decade of vacation.

The Royal Industrial Company, the Ministry of Industry and the various projects in charge of the Shuntian Prefecture also began to take a holiday, and a large number of people from other places who had just received a generous year-end double salary poured into the major restaurants and tea shops in the capital, as well as the indescribable Fengyue places.

However, it is a pity that the capital has not yet implemented the collection of commercial tax, and a large amount of silver has flowed into the hands of the high-ranking officials and eunuchs who have industries in the capital, otherwise Dongchang would not have come to report that after the end of the Lantern Festival, the land and housing prices in Gyeonggi have skyrocketed.

Obviously, it is because these high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen in the capital have made a lot of money and began to buy real estate and real estate, but Zhu Youxiao's royal capital did not enjoy any benefits during this period of consumption frenzy, and the people in the late Ming Dynasty did not seem to like to save money, they liked to compare and pay attention to enjoyment.

However, for the vast majority of the people who only have a little money to spare, they can't afford the luxury goods of the Royal Industrial Company, and they don't have the desire to buy practical objects that don't show the façade and satisfy their vanity, so they spend their money on entertainment consumption. But it also does not account for a large proportion of the total sales of the entire Lantern Festival in Beijing.

After all, His Majesty the Emperor could not explicitly issue an edict encouraging the people to go to the Jiaofang Division to find joy, which not only aggravated the bad social atmosphere but also promoted the spread of diseases.

Zhu Youxiao didn't have time to take care of collecting business taxes in this capital now, after all, if it started suddenly, it would touch too many forces.

The implementation of the policy should be carried out step by step, for the next step of the reform pilot area, Zhu Youxiao has asked the East Factory and the Ministry of Household to organize a special team to go to the two capitals and thirteen provinces to conduct a comprehensive investigation, and then judge its potential commercial value and the strength of the obstacles that may be encountered, and thus decide where the most suitable place to carry out the next step of reform and promotion.

Ma Shiying was crowned with the official title of the prince Shaobao and the right deputy capital of the imperial history, and the official product was promoted to the second grade, and Yuan Keli also added the title of the prince and young master, Sun Chengzong was awarded the title of Earl of Xincheng, and the reason given by Zhu Youxiao was that Sun Chengzong was his teacher, and he also made meritorious contributions in Liaodong, so he was knighted, which is also the second civil official to be knighted after Wang Yangming.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is His Majesty's expression of his political will, that is, to declare to the world that he is encouraging the ministers to unswervingly implement their own new policies, and that he will not move out the ministers who have worked for him as scapegoats because of the obstruction of the stubborn forces.

Moreover, as His Majesty the Emperor, he must give you rich rewards and give you what you want, such as Ma Shiying, who is a huge greedy but is praised by His Majesty today as the first governor of the world, and his evaluation is also honest and honest, and he is determined to innovate, but in fact, Ma Shiying has only done the latter point, and the former has not done it at all.

According to the Dongchang report, the corruption of some imperial historians impeaching Ma Shiying is certain.

For example, during this year's Lantern Festival, Ma Shiying ordered his family slaves to transport millions of silver back to their hometowns, in order to cater to today's saints, not to violate the criteria of being a member of the royalist party, so he did not buy land, but purchased hundreds of mansions and shops, his hometown Guiyang was originally a barren land, but the housing prices have skyrocketed to the same level as Jiangnan towns.

Therefore, Ma Shiying rapidly expanded his business empire in the Guiyang area, which is also Ma Shiying's cunning, Fengyang collects taxes, while Guiyang does not collect taxes, Ma Shiying established his own industry in Guiyang, and he is powerful, he can establish his own business empire in the Sichuan-Guizhou hub.

However, there are many inconveniences in the Fengyang area dominated by Ma Shiying himself, after all, if you want to show your majesty today, it is indeed necessary to establish a good business atmosphere, which leads to the fact that the business in Fengyang must compete fairly, and the amount of profit depends not only on power, but also on economic benefits.

However, Zhu Youxiao now needs Ma Shiying to be his pioneer in economic reform, so he can only give him the green light, as long as he does not rebel and does not annex land against his own principles, even if Ma Shiying really becomes the richest man in the world today, he can only turn a blind eye.

But Ma Shiying will definitely be punished in the future, this is Zhu Youxiao's hidden thoughts in his heart, he can't really let the Ming Dynasty's government deteriorate infinitely because of Ma Shiying's role for the sake of the new policy reform, and now he has the intention of warning Ma Shiying while letting the Metropolitan Procuratorate punish corruption.

Ma Shiying still has to use it again, and the big moves in the country will have to wait for the three reform trial points to fully enter the mature mode, that is, before the surname and the local gentry are completely accustomed to this policy, Zhu Youxiao does not plan to make any big moves in the Ming Dynasty in the short term.

The Praetorian Guard already has 100,000 warriors, and the nine border towns have also been replenished with more than 100,000 elite soldiers, and the ordnance department, an armament production base, has entered a mature period and can meet the basic needs of weapons.

In this case, Zhu Youxiao felt that it was time to show the sword of the Ming Dynasty, and the Praetorian Guards should also go to fight against the strong enemy outside, and they could not stay at home to suppress bandits all the time.

"Your Majesty has a will, Lu Xiangsheng, a scholar of Wuyingdian University and a scholar of the Ministry of War, Liu Ruoyu, the eunuch of the Ministry of Ceremonies, Liu Ruoyu, the commander of the Dongchang Factory, Yang Sichang, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, the chief military officers of the Praetorian Guard and the governors and chief military officers of Jiubian Town will enter the Xinuan Pavilion to face the saint!"

This day is the day of the Great Dynasty, and it is also the last day that foreign officials are about to leave the capital, but on this day, Zhu Youxiao suddenly announced that he had met with important members of the military system, and the place he saw was the most important place in the empire, so everyone was a little surprised, but they also felt that His Majesty seemed to be going to do something big.

"Lu Ge Lao, Your Majesty suddenly summoned me for something, all the soldiers were called, Your Majesty will not learn from Song Taizu to have a glass of wine to release military power, let me wait to tell the old man in advance and return to his hometown", Wang Zaijin and Lu Xiangsheng are both one of the two most powerful feudal officials in Liaodong, and it is precisely because of this that Wang Zaijin also dared to come to Lu Xiangsheng to greet him.

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said: "At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty (Wang Zai Jin and early Ming Dynasty) said that I was just His Majesty's eagle dog, how to take charge of the army, there is no glass of wine to release the military power, not to mention that now Guanwai Jiannu and Guanning thieves are eyeing each other, it is the need for a minister like you in the early Ming Dynasty, and the matter of returning home in advance must be left for three years and five years before there can be this blessing, as for why His Majesty summoned us today, I think Liu Gonggong should know best." ”

Everyone also looked at Liu Ruoyu, Liu Ruoyu, a eunuch with a bit of scholarly elegance, is now almost the first prison army in the world, while controlling the world's first internal intelligence agency, that is, Dongchang, like the head of the Central Unification in the Republic of China in later generations, he has mastered many of the world's leading officials and eunuchs; On the one hand, he is still the chief of the Janissary Army, which is the ace of His Majesty's lineage, and like Lu Xiangsheng, among the 100,000 Praetorian Guards, from the chief officers of each army to the commanders of each battalion are all his students.

But Liu Ruoyu is low-key, and he also knows that the more he is in a high position, the more he must be cautious in his words and deeds, and he really doesn't know His Majesty's intentions, so he waved his hand again and again: "Don't make fun of Liu, the contemptible person is just a slave of His Majesty's family, where do you know something." ”

Wang Zaijin didn't want to say anything when he saw Liu Ruoyu, and he didn't want to ask again, Sun Chuanting snorted when he saw this, and he obviously expressed his hatred for the eunuchs.

And Liu Ruoyu didn't hear it at all, and talked to Sun Chengzong.

But at this time, Yang Sichang, the left attendant of the military department who was not willing to be lonely, came forward with a red robe, came to the front of the senior officer, and said: "According to the lower officials, Your Majesty is afraid that the war will start again, please think, now Your Majesty has taken the opportunity of the southern tour to re-establish the orthodoxy of Confucianism and Confucius, and at the same time personally worship filial piety and the world's loyalty, but also boldly innovate, implement new policies, and reverse the deficit of the treasury for decades, which can not be said to be unholy!" But for a Ming army, these are all cultural governance, and if Your Majesty wants to follow the example of the Han Wu Tang Sect, it is natural to have martial arts. ”

A cadre felt that what Yang Sichang said was reasonable, so they all gathered around him, only to hear Yang Sichang continue: "Everyone, please think, now my Ming national strength is thriving, hundreds of thousands of soldiers in armor, and Wu Xiang outside the gate betrayed my Ming Dynasty, slaughtered the people of my Jinggi, and Jianyu still occupied more than 20 cities north of my Liao River, and the important town of Shenyang was taken by it as Kyoto, which is really a great shame that the dynasty has not seen for hundreds of years. One day we will wash the Liao River in blood, don't you think that Your Majesty will make a big move because of this and save the dignity of our great country? ”

"That being said, but now that the Ming Dynasty and his Jiannu have signed an alliance to not invade each other within five years, it seems inappropriate if we take the liberty of provoking a military provocation, in addition, now the Manchu Qing Dynasty has also expanded by 50,000 elite cavalry, firearms and infantry have also reached 150,000, and the national army has also reached more than 200,000, although my Ming can attack the enemy, it is difficult to ensure victory."

Sun Chuanting was the first to question, but Yang Sichang didn't have a good attitude towards this feudal official who was the right attendant of the military department but also the governor of Datong, so he just smiled and said: "Sun Shilang's words are wrong, but I don't know that the soldiers are treacherous, is it necessary for me to abide by this contract?" ”

……

While the senior members of these military systems were talking while walking, Zhu Youxiao had already obtained the content of their conversations from Dongchang here.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sneer after hearing this, and said to Wang Chengen, who was accompanying him: "This Yang Sichang is no different from Yang Xiu in the Three Kingdoms, it is an indisputable fact that he can guess my mind and have a certain strategic vision, but it is indeed crazy. ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true, talented people are a little arrogant, which is also understandable", Wang Chengen persuaded a few words, and did not say more, and when he saw Zhu Youxiao waving his hand, he simply withdrew.

Today is a major event in the military aircraft, and although Wang Chengen is the master of ceremonies, he has no authority in the military system, so he is not qualified to stay here.

And Liu Ruoyu was the most worthy of serving Zhu Youxiao at this time, so he hurried in first, and when he saw Wang Chengen coming out, he only nodded slightly, and then took off his shoes and changed his clothes and entered the inner room.

The other ministers could only wait in the hall of the moon cave in front of the door of the inner room, but there were seats on both sides, and all the ministers sat down these days, and the inner attendants served tea, and then sat quietly and waited.

Zhu Youxiao enjoyed this warm palace layout like spring, and he was very sleepy in spring, so he was lazy and didn't comb his hair and tie his crown, and after a little golden hairpin, he leaned on the leather seat and closed his eyes.

And the maid next to him put her hands into the hands of a Ming version of the warm baby, starting from the court, today's Ming Dynasty is popular in the winter to let their maids wait aside to wear a warm baby, which is both humane and more interesting than chic.

But also because of this, the Ming version of the warm baby will also become one of the best-selling products every winter.

"All here?" Zhu Youxiao asked, and left the queen Zhang Yan, who was rubbing the jade back in his arms, and then got up and spread his arms: "Dress me first, and then order someone to prepare a sand table, only the north, and finally announce them in." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty", Liu Ruoyu said with a smile and personally served Zhu Youxiao.

It didn't take long for Zhu Youxiao to let them in, and as soon as these people came in, Zhu Youxiao said warmly: "Time is of the essence, I don't beat around the bush to say, you also know the strength of the Ming Dynasty today, and you are no longer afraid of provoking another war, in my opinion, it is time for us to show the majesty of my Ming Dynasty, you can also talk about any good opinions, that is, who we need to fight first, now there are three forces in the north, one is the Guanning Army, one is the Mongolian Tartars, and the other is the Jiannu Tartars." ”

As soon as Zhu Youxiao's words came out, Yang Sichang stood up first: "Your Majesty, according to the ministers, now it is better for us to attack Shengjing by water, and then seize the head of Jiannu together, and it can also play a deterrent role in the Guanning army of Wu Xiang's department and the imperial court." ”

"Yang Shilang's words are different, now is the time when the ice and snow have not melted, and the cavalry can still run horses, and even cut sleds directly, so it will not achieve the effect of a surprise attack", Sun Chuanting scolded Yang Sichang again at this time, but Yang Sichang was not good at saying anything, but then he argued again.

But just when the big men were struggling with how to start the battle, Wu Jin suddenly ran in, and hurriedly waited outside and said to Liu Ruoyu: "Father-in-law, the big thing is not good." ”
