Hearing that Yu Guozhen was coming, Kun Xing was immediately very excited, but the stern gaze of her father last time made her palpitate, so she didn't dare to show it, so she could only cover herself up with busyness.

From the position of the coffee table in the living room to the wiping of every book in his father's study, Kun Xing did it one by one: the living room is the place where his father sees him, and the study is the place where the two talk secretly.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the large table clock in the living room struck. This large table clock is the property of Xinxiang Watch Factory, made magnificently, and inlaid with a lot of gems and jade, worth fifteen gold dollars, that is, equivalent to 1,500 silver dollars, although Chongzhen's income can afford it, but he is thrifty how to give up.

This table clock was given by Yu Guozhen, in addition, many of the furnishings in the house, useful or useless, were either given by Yu Guozhen, or sent by Fang, Zhang and other former ministers of Chongzhen. Compared with the Ming Dynasty, Yu Guozhen's treatment of officials at all levels can be described as extremely generous, such as Fang Kongzhi and Zhang Bingwen, the monthly salary of a month can reach 20 gold yuan, which is equivalent to 2,000 taels of silver in the past, plus job subsidies, subsidies, and benefits at the end of the year, the annual income can reach 500 gold yuan, that is, 50,000 taels of silver in the past.

Proportional to the high salary is the strict anti-corruption measures, Zhu Yuanzhang once came up with such a means to fight corruption, but unfortunately this kind of anti-corruption can only be expected to appear honest bosses. The anti-corruption under the Xinxiang system relies on a relatively complete supervision and restraint system, although it is impossible to cure the root cause, but it has increased the cost to a certain extent. For example, if the boss appoints a subordinate, then it is necessary to supervise the behavior of the subordinate, if there is more serious corruption in the subordinate, then the superior will be punished with a salary reduction and a penalty for failing to fulfill his supervisory responsibilities. may even lose his official position and go to prison because of his involvement.

In the past year alone, the number of people who have lost their positions due to corruption under the Xinxiang system has reached 117. Among them, 24 people were sentenced to death, and many of them were heroes who retired from the Tiger Guard system.

Kun Xing heard the bell ringing, and immediately went to her boudoir, through the window facing south, she could clearly see the situation in the courtyard.

The father and the queen mother did not come out, but the eldest brother Cihong and his two younger brothers had already run to the courtyard, and the other was Shen Youlong and other old ministers who heard the news.

Shen Youlong is now Chongzhen's secretary and is responsible for proofreading Chongzhen. I can receive an income of three gold dollars a month, and I can also maintain a certain decent life. At first, he was still a little angry, but later he got used to it, and even Chongzhen Tianzi supported himself by himself. And how much more about him!

Soon. Kun Xing saw Yu Guozhen appear in the courtyard, and as when he saw him before, he was still wearing that uniform, and he was heroic. Although he is already thirty years old, the years seem to have left no traces on him, if there is one, it is more calm than in the past.

A smile and a word will soothe people's hearts.

Kun Xing quietly covered his chest with his hand, because Yu Guozhen inadvertently glanced over here. It jumped there hard.

She knew that standing in Yu Guozhen's place, it was impossible to see her, but she still couldn't help her heartbeat.

"Mr. Jimin, I haven't seen you for a year, I really miss it!" Zhu Cihong gave a military salute to Yu Guozhen.

Yu Guozhen returned the salute and said with a smile: "You still want to join the Huaxia Army?" ”

Zhu Cihong was embarrassed. With a sigh, Yu Guozhen immediately understood. Hehe smiled and raised his hand in apology. This is the secret between him and the prince of the Ming Dynasty, if Chongzhen knows it, it will definitely turn the world upside down.

However, Yu Guozhen did not advocate Zhu Cihong to join the army, whether it was from the perspective of his Zhu family or from Yu Guozhen's point of view, Zhu Cihong would have a future in any industry, but joining the army would have no future at all. Even if Yu Guozhen didn't give any orders, the officers below would definitely not allow Chongzhen's descendants to stand out in the army.

After talking to Chongzhen's three sons, Yu Guozhen came to Chongzhen's living room under the guidance of Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun.

Chongzhen didn't get up, looking at Yu Guozhen who came out, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

Yu Guozhen naturally didn't care about his little arrogance, Chongzhen even lost the country, and he could only keep this little arrogance. He bowed his head and gestured to Chongzhen, but when he saw Queen Zhou, he clasped his fists and saluted: "Niangniang." ”

Queen Zhou smiled and said: "Jimin, you are here, those three boys have been talking for a long time, that is, Your Majesty, don't look at his face now, in fact, I am looking forward to it." ”

"Nonsense!" Chongzhen said angrily.

Yu Guozhen and Queen Zhou both smiled, Chongzhen This is a dead duck with a hard mouth, Queen Zhou served a fruit plate and pastries, and picked up one of each and tasted it herself: "If it weren't for Jimin, you would never give these boys so much candy, so as not to eat bad teeth." ”

"He's afraid you'll poison him?" Seeing that Queen Zhou was so cautious, Chongzhen was angry.

Yu Guozhen laughed: "It's mine, isn't it...... How is Your Majesty doing? ”

"What's so bad?" Chongzhen snorted and looked around: "Mr. Shen, you also sit, now I am not the emperor, I am just a pedant here, and there is no need to be formal." ”

"One is the emperor, the other is the emperor." Shen Youlong looked at Yu Guozhen semi-provocatively.

Yu Guozhen calmly said with a smile: "Speaking of this, it is reported that Zhu Yousong in Jinling City made a fuss again, saying that he wanted to choose the world's show girls to enter the palace, and Ruan Dacheng was the counselor of this matter, and someone recommended a daughter to Ruan Dacheng, saying that this woman is very good-looking, Wencai Feiran, and is good at female popularity. Ruan Dacheng asked who the daughter was, and the recommender, Lizhen, the daughter of the Yun Ruan family, was also. ”

Chongzhen snorted disdainfully when he heard Zhu Yousong's draft girl, and then he pouted when he heard Ruan Dacheng, but when he heard that the recommender recommended Ruan Lizhen, Chongzhen couldn't help grinning.

Even if you don't know who Ruan Lizhen is, you can guess when you hear this name that it must be Ruan Dacheng's daughter.

"Ruan Lizhen is the daughter of Ruan Dacheng, who was lost in the chaos in the early years, where can Ruan Dacheng give it, but if he doesn't give it, everyone will ridicule him, why not be stingy with his own daughter and be generous to others." Yu Guozhen added, and then sighed: "For the emperor is like this, for the ministers, will the people not abandon it?" ”

Chongzhen was also silent.

"Jimin, you come to the study with me, and Mr. Shen will also come." Everyone drank tea silently, and after a while, Chongzhen reluctantly said.

Chongzhen's study is also quite simple, after Yu Guozhen and Shen Youlong came in, Chongzhen closed the door by himself, and after a while, he asked: "How sure are you, completely eliminate Jianyu." ”

"Ten points."

"I guess it's the same...... You're not so sure you can't do it...... Jimin, how are you going to deal with the Jianyu Department? ”

"What does Your Majesty want me to do?"

"I ...... I...... Hopefully, you can kill all the prisoners, and the chickens and dogs will not be left! Chongzhen said almost through gritted teeth.

Yu Guozhen can understand his feelings, since he ascended the throne, Jianyu has been in the army three times and five times, so that he has suffered a humiliation that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have not endured. However, Yu Guozhen determined that a policy would not fundamentally change because of any one person's wishes.

"I know you're soft-hearted, otherwise you wouldn't have sent someone to save me in the first place, and you wouldn't have let them here...... Maybe you think that there are innocent people among the captives, so you only pursue the descendants of Nuer Hachi, and only kill the Aixin Jueluo clan. But you are wrong, no one is innocent in the whole clan, which one is not born by sucking the blood of my Chinese people, and which one is not stained with the blood of my Chinese people? ”

Yu Guozhen was silent, this kind of thought is not only Chongzhen, but the common voice of most people in China. Thanks to his propaganda of the atrocities of the Jianlu and the distinction between Huayi and Huayi over the years, now not only the places under his rule, but also Jinling and the Chuang army, he is also proud of himself as the people of China, and hates all the invading alien races, especially the Jianguo who have brought extreme suffering to China in recent decades.

"Why, you can't do it?" Chongzhen saw that he didn't speak for a long time, so he asked again.

Yu Guozhen pondered for a while, and then said with a smile: "This matter is not something we can determine here, I can only say that those who are obsessed and stubborn will die!" ”

This is not a promise to Chongzhen, and Yu Guozhen will not change his original plan because of a promise to a certain person.

"How are you going to fight this battle?" Chongzhen asked again.

"Naturally, it was improvised."

Yu Guozhen's words were insincere, in fact, how to fight this battle was deduced as early as two years ago. Chongzhen also knew that he was too detailed to ask about the specific combat methods, so he just mentioned it casually, and then glanced at Shen Youlong: "What suggestions does Mr. Shen have?" ”

"The minister is not familiar with the military strategy, Nanhai Bo has won a hundred battles, since he said that he is improvised, he will naturally become a bamboo in his chest. The minister is only worried about one thing, it is now July, Hu Tian will snow in August, and at most two months, Liaodong will be snowed heavily, and the sky will be frozen, so this war will be over in two months. When the Huaxia army withdraws, will Jianyu make a comeback? ”

Chongzhen felt that it was very reasonable, all along, the only enemy that prevented the Chinese nation from stabilizing its territory was the harsh natural environment. If the land can be cultivated, the Chinese nation can firmly control it, but if it can't even grow vegetables, then the Chinese nation will often be lost.

He looked at Yu Guozhen: "Jimin, what can you do?" ”

"Please rest assured that Your Majesty and Mr. Shen are at this point." Yu Guozhen smiled: "In the past three years, I have sharpened my military edge, sent troops to Beihai every winter to familiarize myself with the environment, and also studied some small skills to keep warm and survive in extremely cold weather. After going north this time, there will definitely be no further withdrawal. It can be said that the bitter cold climate of Liaodong is no longer our problem. ”

"Oh? I'm quite interested in that...... What kind of skills are they? ”

"The first item is to learn from Jianyu, the skill of panning the fire kang, so that you will not be afraid to stay in the house in winter. The second is an improved padded jacket, down jacket, fur hat and gloves, which are warmer to wear. The third item is chili peppers......"

Yu Guozhen half-jokingly said some ways to keep out the cold, some were serious, and some were just funny. (To be continued)
