Chapter 377: The Difference
Originally, Xiao Mu's lazy waist and yawning just now had fully indicated that he was about to leave and leave, but even so, in the end, Lin Ye gave him an "eviction order", but Xiao Mu was still in line with the optimism of "good men don't fight with women" and "only villains and women are difficult to raise", and he was not annoyed by this - after all, Lin Ye gave himself a lot of good ideas tonight, so what's the point of letting her have some on such an inconsequential issue? It should be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good deeds for the original sons of Emperor Chongzhen and Empress Zhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The two of them chatted for nearly an hour, and it was already time at this time, after Xiao Mu left with Wang Chengen, Lin Ye's personal palace maid Chu'er entered the house and began to prepare to serve Lin Ye to bed.
When he woke up the next morning, after washing up and having breakfast, Xiao Mu once again gathered all the elders who came to Zongdao and other pavilion elders and all the Shango, and announced the plan he had discussed with Lin Yi last night - although Xiao Mu had recently found that his memory had deteriorated more and more, after all, it was only one night, and he still remembered very clearly the results of yesterday's discussion with Lin Yi, which was nothing more than three things:
First, he ordered the cabinet to immediately send an urgent message to Xiong Wencan in Fujian, asking him to immediately start the matter of recruiting Zheng Zhilong.
Second, it was announced that half of the original budget would be allocated to Zhejiang for disaster relief, and the rest of the silver taels would be temporarily stored in the inner treasury for urgent needs. At the same time, he once again repeated to several cabinet elders and scholars, such as "the imperial court is in an eventful autumn, and not a single wisp or penny can be wasted".
Third, it means that in order to ensure that the silver taels for disaster relief are indeed used on the people affected by the disaster, rather than being coveted by local officials, Xiao Mu said that he would ask the cabinet to nominate a few imperial historians who have always been honest and upright to supervise - Xiao Mu only said that he would prevent local officials from being greedy for ink, but did not say that the ministers present were to save some face for them, and secondly, he felt that the ministers present were already in high positions, and even if they took care of their reputation, they would not be greedy for this kind of disaster relief silver.
Xiao Mu's three points were all carefully discussed by him and Lin Yi, so it was also very smooth and very organized in front of several pavilion elders and Shangshu, and they naturally had no reason to disagree with the sect, and it also deepened Xiao Mu's original "wise" image in their minds.
After announcing his decision very smoothly, and then encouraging the ministers and sending them back to continue their work, Xiao Mu did not immediately find Luo Yangxing or Cao Huachun and arrange for them to go to Zhejiang to monitor the local officials and the imperial history - since it was secret surveillance, of course, it was better to make an appointment to be secret, Xiao Mu didn't think that it was very secret to summon Luo Yangxing or Cao Huachun after just discussing it with the old man.
But fortunately, whether it is Luo Yangxing's Jinyiwei or Cao Huachun's Dongchang, they have an obvious difference from the ministers who came to Zongdao, that is, they have always resolutely implemented Xiao Mu's orders as the emperor, and even in a sense, they can reach the level of "understanding must be executed, and if you don't understand, you must also execute" - for example, Xiao Mu had just traveled to the time and space of the Ming Dynasty, and when Daxing asked Yang Tao to buy back all the sold children he could meet, Yang Tao did not ask him why he did it, but directly executed Xiao Mu's order, and finally bought back the little brothers Li Shiyao and Zhao Qizhi.
And Zongdao these ministers are completely different, they undoubtedly have their own understanding and judgment on the matter of governing the country, the same is the matter of the defeat of Zhejiang Dashui and Fujian, everyone has everyone's opinions and opinions, the two things can be discussed for a whole day without getting the final result, and it is up to Xiao Mu and Lin Yi to discuss for a long time in the middle of the night before they can finally make a decision. And Xiao Mu's final decision must be reasonable enough, so reasonable that the ministers can't raise any questions, and the whole plan can finally be passed.
Therefore, Xiao Mu is not very worried about Luo Yanghe and Cao Huachun, who have the excellent quality of "obedientness", when they have time, they will call over casually - of course, they will call them separately and secretly, and then explain their orders to them, and if they are in a good mood, they can also tell them the ins and outs of the matter, so that they can be more aware of their respective errands and better complete their tasks.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mu finally understood a little bit why the phenomenon of factory guards in the Ming Dynasty was so serious - factory guards were obviously much easier to use than ministers, and the emperor as a ruler was naturally willing to trust, and then entrusted more important tasks to them.
At the same time, Xiao Mu couldn't help but fight a cold war, after all, he was the emperor with supreme power, if one day he was really addicted to power, and wantonly used these factory guards who resolutely carried out their will without asking about thirty-seven twenty-one, then what would the entire Ming Dynasty become?
However, Xiao Mu only thought about it for a while and then gave up continuing to think, firstly, because his cold had not yet improved, and this kind of difficult question made him feel a little headache; The second is that Xiao Mu feels that he can't develop to the level of a big dictator for a while, obviously he even leaves government affairs to the cabinet to deal with, and only this extremely serious problem comes out to make some decisions, just imagine, what power-obsessed dictator would be like himself?
Therefore, since yesterday at Wang Jingyuan's house received two urgent deliveries, to this morning, about less than a day, these two major events that made things worse for the Ming Dynasty finally came to an end - of course, this does not mean that these two problems have been solved, you can sit back and relax, the fact is just the opposite, the two problems have not yet begun to be solved, but there is a solution, the final effect, but also depends on the implementation of the plan, considering the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty, inconvenient transportation, The final result feedback is at least a month later, and all Xiao Mu can do now is to honestly wait for the results.
"It's up in the balance, I don't know what the final outcome will be, and I have to worry about it every day. It's already so tiring with just two things, but don't have this kind of annoying bad news again......" Recalling the whole day's arguments yesterday, Xiao Mu, who was a little exhausted at this time, looked forward to it sincerely.
