Compared with the newcomers around Yu Guozhen, Fang Kongzhi and Zhang Bingwen are also high-ranking bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty, especially Fang Kongzhi, who originally had a broad vision, and after the influence of Yu Guotuo, he already has a very outstanding global consciousness and awareness of the times.

It's a pity that he is reluctant to go out, otherwise, with his ability, Yu Guozhen is even willing to make an exception for him and directly enter the governorship.

Listening to Yu Guozhen's finish of the dispute at today's meeting, Fang Kongzhi and Zhang Bingwen glanced at each other, Fang Kongzhi nodded, and Zhang Bingwen said: "Jimin, this is a good thing." ”

"Oh?"

"Jimin, most of the characters in your hands were cultivated by you before, and there are contradictions between them, and they are also under your control. But with the increase in the number of people who come to vote and the increase in the number of places to control, one day, the contradictions under your hands will be uncontrollable. ”

"These days, when I discussed Yi with Brother Zhifu, I felt that the contradiction is the yin and yang of this change, without yin and yang, all things will not be born, and without contradictions, there will be no country. Today, when the son is taboo about party contention and only thinks about eliminating contradictions, the result is that the contradictions are not absent, but hidden, and whenever he wants to do things, it is easy to secretly contain them. Therefore, the two of us think that the key lies in how to adjust the contradiction between yin and yang......"

Zhang Bingwen was full of enthusiasm, starting from Yi Li, and said a contradictory theory. They feel that although Yu Guozhen is born with the wisdom to know, he is young after all, and it is not a problem to control a million people, but it is easy to be careless when he controls more. But this contradictory rhetoric made Yu Guozhen dumbfounded, and he didn't expect that he was just putting two questions out. They've already solved it to this extent!

"In short, the one who is above can rule yin and yang." It's a pity that Zhang Bingwen said a lot, and finally returned to the art of Wang Ba, so that Yu Guozhen had to sigh, Chinese philosophy and politics are too closely linked, all philosophy. To serve politics is really putting the cart before the horse.

"I'm not afraid of them arguing, but I think it's a good thing that they can openly and honestly express their differences of opinion if they don't have a faction. If there is a harmonious atmosphere on the surface, but behind the scenes, it is a real disaster. Yu Guozhen said: "I came to ask the two elders for advice. If something really goes wrong with the Ming Dynasty, I should advance to the Central Plains. Or continue to hibernate? ”

"This. Let Brother Zhifu tell you. Zhang Bingwen showed a slight unbearable look on his face, and then got up and left: "I am a minister, and I can't bear to listen to this." ”

"You slippery head, you are a minister, haven't I ever been a minister?" Fang Kongzhi got up and said angrily.

But Zhang Bingwen was fast, he had already walked far, and he threw down a desolate laughter. Fang Kongzhi sighed. I could only sit down again and look at Yu Guozhen. There was both relief and uneasiness in his eyes.

"When I first saw you. I feel that you are different, so I give you the word Jimin, Jimin, in the past ten years, you have done these two words. After a long time, Fang Kongzhi spoke: "If you are today, although you are not immoral, it is not at the right time - if you can save his life, you should save it as much as possible." ”

Yu Guozhen was silent for a while, indeed, Chongzhen was stubborn and self-serving, but compared to those stunned emperors, he was not immoral. Daming is like this, as the Son of Heaven, of course, he has to bear a lot of responsibility, but it is still a little unfair to put all the responsibility on his head, or even on the head of the entire royal family.

"I'm just afraid it's not up to me." Yu Guozhen can only say this.

"You have the ability and the plan."

"I do my best."

The two had a brief conversation, and the fate of Chongzhen, who was far away in Beijing, was decided. Immediately afterwards, Fang Kongzhi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a long sigh: "How about I ask you for the official position of the political secretary of Liangguangbu?" ”

Yu Guozhen's eyes widened.

He instantly understood what Fang Kongzhi meant, and also understood that he had always entered a misunderstanding, he thought that he only had two options: taking the whole world and hibernation Xinxiang, but he never thought that he had another option.

When the Ming Dynasty perished, it captured Liangguang, and even passed through the south of Luohu, southern Jiangxi, and southern Fujian. The total population of these places was not large enough for him to assimilate with Xinxiang's strength, and it was enough to serve as a base for him to accept the rest of the people.

For example, the people who fled from the Central Plains could have gathered in Huguang and temporarily resettled along both sides of the Hunan River.

"Why didn't I think of this......" Yu Guozhen patted his head with some annoyance.

"Hehe, it's not that you haven't thought of it, it's just that you can't see Mount Tai. Jimin, you are only twenty-five years old, and when you are thirty years old, you are almost ...... Well, it's pretty much in control. Fang Kongzhi said slowly: "Like your uncle, I don't want to be a minister of the Second Dynasty, I just hope that you don't have to be too eager, so that I can serve you for a few more years." ”

Yu Guozhen responded, and knew in his heart that this was indeed caused by age.

"Set such a strategy, I think you still have something to do, you go first, and let someone hand over the information of Liangguang to me."

Fang Kongzhi was in a bad mood, but Yu Guozhen understood it very well, so he didn't say much. He saluted, then stepped back.

He returned to his office, and after nearly two hours, he realized that everyone was still waiting for him in the small conference room. As soon as he came back, Wang Haoran first greeted him and said, "Lord, it's the subordinates who are wrong, and they shouldn't argue with Mr. Xiao Song......

"No, no, it's clearly my fault, it's me who wants to quarrel with Xiao Wang......"

The two glared at each other again, and almost quarreled again over the fault. Yu Guozhen said with a smile: "As long as you don't make a mistake, it's okay for you to quarrel with each other. ”

Having said that, he then added: "However, disputes are disputes, and you must not let the other party speak." ”

"Yes."

"I just went to ask the two elders for their opinions." Yu Guozhen said: "Their opinion is to take the two broads and observe the changes in the world. ”

When all the people heard this, they were all overjoyed.

The biggest dilemma that Xinxiang is currently facing has been solved in this sentence.

"Next, we must arrange the plan according to the goal of preparing to control the two Guangzhous." Yu Guozhen said: "First, the number of Tiger Guards must be expanded again to increase the number of Tiger Guards to 120,000. Jiaming is responsible for this matter, is there a problem? ”

Gu Jiaming nodded: "There's no problem, just keep up with the ordnance and materials." ”

"Ordnance materials, is there any problem with Mr. Zhang?"

"We have 150,000 weapons in stockpile, and with our production capacity, we can double this reserve in six months."

"Secondly, in terms of civil affairs, prepare enough food, which requires the help of the governors of all places, leisurely, you prepare the official document, and send it to the governors after I read and sign it."

For Xinxiang, grain is probably the least thing to worry about, Hoi An, Xinhang, the two big grains, especially Xinhang, now has 1.4 million acres of fertile land, surpassing Hoi An, becoming the number one granary of Xinxiang. The combined annual grain output of the two places exceeds 2 million tons, and with the addition of Xinxiang, Dayuan, and Luzon, there are also good grain outputs, so Xinxiang's estimated grain income this year can reach about 4 million tons, which is equivalent to the rations of nearly 10 million people!

Yu Guozhen spared no effort to cultivate the Japanese into an agricultural country, and even did not hesitate to provide agricultural technical support to the Japanese state, such as improved seeds and fertilizers. If you insist on leviing it, it is also possible to collect millions of catties of grain from the Japanese country.

"Third, prepare the capacity, especially suitable for inland waterway shipping within 100 tons of small boats, in a short period of time, we control the two Guangzhou, or need to focus on inland waterway shipping, so these small boats must be fully prepared. My opinion is to let the shipyard suspend the construction of giant ships at sea and specialize in the modification of river vessels. Mr. Mao, if you have any comments, please let me know. ”

When Yu Guozhen said this, Mao Yuanyi raised his palm to indicate that he had something to say, according to the rules of their meeting, Yu Guozhen asked him to speak, Mao Yuanyi said: "Don't let the construction of sea ships stop completely, although the Europeans drove us out of the South China Sea, they will inevitably retaliate in a big way, according to time, the revenge fleet of the Europeans should also be coming soon." We cannot judge the size of the fleet of the Europeans, and from a prudent point of view, we cannot stop building ships. ”

"Yes, that's what Mr. Mao said." Yu Guozhen is still very good at accepting this reasonable opinion: "Then this article will be changed to extract half of the shipyard's production capacity for the manufacture and transformation of inland river vessels." ”

Hua Youzhi recorded this.

"Fourth, transfer an elite and follow me north to Tamna."

Yu Guozhen put forward the fourth article, and as soon as this remark came out, everyone sat up straight, and almost everyone stretched out their hands.

It was still Mao Yuanyi who was pointed to open his mouth first, Mao Yuanyi stared at Yu Guozhen: "What is the lord going to do, since he is preparing to capture Liangguang, our forces should be concentrated in Liangguang, why does the lord still transfer his energy to Tamluo Island?" ”

followed by Song Xiance: "What Mr. Mao said is that now it is no longer the beginning, and the lord does not need to do everything himself!" ”

"Jiaming and I are both familiar with the northern war, so the two of us can go!" This is Tian Boguang's opinion.

Yu Guozhen smiled bitterly, this was the first time that his opinion was opposed by everyone. Everyone knows what he means, he wants to personally lead an army, act in the north, and may even intervene in the upcoming chaos in the Central Plains.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to take risks lightly, and I can't do anything about the white dragon fish suit." Yu Guozhen comforted everyone, and then said: "The reason why I led my troops to the north is not that I want to go to the battlefield in person, but because I want to make a decision nearby." Although we are powerless to save all the people of the north, at least we can threaten Li Chuang and Dolgon so that they do not dare to kill the people easily. This matter may require the use of a large number of troops, although the shore is calm and reliable, but it is calm and reliable, if anything happens, I am afraid that he will first ask me for instructions, and when my decision is reached, I am afraid that the opportunity will be delayed. ”

"Therefore, although I went north, I was not alone, but the base camp went north, in addition to Mr. Mao and Mr. Zhang staying in Xinxiang, I also temporarily transferred Ye Wuya back to Xinxiang, I took Boguang, Jiaming and Lao Niu to the north, and the troops I brought ...... Just 20,000 people are enough. (To be continued)
