Time is like flowing water, the new emperor ascended the throne, Yang Fan participated in it except for the Chaohe, and there was no figure of him in the rest of the Chang Dynasty. More often, he went directly to the palace and consulted with the new emperor. said that it was a discussion, but it was just to talk to Zhu Qi about what needed to be done next.

"What do you mean, you want to transfer the Sichuan army and the Zhejiang army?"

"That's right." Yang Fan nodded and said: "In this operation, although the first troops are not the Sichuan and Zhejiang Second Armies, if the follow-up troops are insufficient, it is very likely to fail." ”

Zhu Qi stood beside the little emperor and said, "Then what do you mean, you have to be transferred over secretly?" ”

"That's right. Shaanxi side of Hong Chengchou on the top, no big thing, even if the rebel army wants to enter Shu, Huguang is guarded by Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army, and they don't dare to cross the thunder pond half a step. ”

Zhu Qi is one of the few people who knows about the raid. was also a little surprised by Yang Fan's bold behavior. Liaodong's annual millions of military salaries are really unbearable, and if you want the Ming Dynasty to be reborn, you must quickly cut through the chaos and take the important town of Shenyang in one fell swoop.

"Where's the grain and grass? With such a large army, if the grain and grass cannot keep up, the consequences will be unimaginable. Zhu Qi didn't ask Yang Fan about the tactical problem, just the weight of grain and grass was a big problem.

"Has the Zong Ling forgotten the crops that were just sown?" In this society where manpower is not valuable, Yang Fan's greenhouse in Nanjing may be the only meaningful thing that the old farmer has done to him. In the greenhouse, potatoes and golden potatoes have two harvests every year, germination, cutting, and planting, as early as the winter of the previous year, there is already a rich base. After planting in the spring, there will be a huge yield in the autumn. Originally an acre of rice fields. The harvest is 500 catties, but also to plant seedlings, take care, insect prevention, now this potato, golden potato is also easy to plant, and so on to the autumn harvest season, one or two thousand potatoes per acre of land, can be used as food. And at the Thirteen Stations. Yang Fan still left some potatoes as seeds for reclamation, and it is estimated that there is a big harvest now.

"If these are not enough, the Great Shanghui that has just been organized in Jinling and Jingshi can also transfer enough silver to buy grain. At this point, in these months, I will focus on arranging military salaries and grain reserves, and as for the government, I will have to bother you with the Sect's order. ”

Zhu Qi smiled: "What else can you worry about the government now?" All those officials were martyred. It has been cleaned cleanly, and the people who are now in power are all officials who have been cultivated by the Zongren Mansion for many years. ”

In this ancient society, in fact, there was really nothing to deal with in the government. In an agrarian society, the most important thing was the stability of imperial power and taxation. The so-called peaceful and prosperous era is that the wind and rain are smooth and the imperial power is stable. The current situation is that the imperial power is shaken. Internal and external troubles, coupled with natural and man-made disasters. A vicious circle is formed.

In fact, in this court, you attacked me all day long, I attacked you, plus the emperor's suspicions, you sang and I took the stage, to put it bluntly. It's just fighting for power, and there's nothing to do.

"Since you want to do this, then this sect will fully support you, but have you thought of a way out? If you can't attack it for a long time. And how? ”

Yang Fan said: "The worst plan is to retreat to the Daling River, but as long as reinforcements come from the sea, Liaonan and Shenyang will not be a problem." "This Haikou, Yang Fan dares to boast, this musket has been delayed by one or two hundred years, and the level of Hanyang is already a product of World War II, that is, a product of three hundred years later, and the range is even farther. In the fifteenth century, it was an invincible existence, and Yang Fan's goal for Sun Yuanhua was 3,000 strokes, and he kept improving. The bullet is the key, although in Australia, Yang Fan also left Sun Yuanhua a pattern of the bullet, but there is no hope, the bullet is already behind the manor in Jinling, and there is a special person responsible for manufacturing. Bullet casings and gunpowder are all real, and they can't be faked.

Zhu Qidao: "There is really a weapon that takes people's lives thousands of kilometers away, and it is definitely an important weapon of the country." Not to mention attacking Shenyang, it is not a problem to sweep away Manchuria. ”

After Yang Fan and Zhu Qi finished discussing, they returned to their mansion. The transfer of the Sichuan army and the Zhejiang army, Zhu Qi will naturally let the little emperor issue a secret decree, this money and grain, the treasury is estimated to be unable to take out, and it has to rely on Yang Fan and Ma Fatzi to use the silver from the red ticket pit to offset it.

Yang Fan once said that it sounds absurd to do business with the imperial court, but once his position is unshakable, it can be realized. The misappropriation of this silver for military expenses would slightly relieve the pressure on the empty treasury. The tax reform and the disguised nationalization of the Great Commercial Exchange will make this silver twice as much as 10 million during the autumn harvest, and the military salary will not be worried.

After discussing the plan, Yang Fan left the palace.

"Yang Guogong." Out of the Forbidden City, Yang Fan hadn't walked long after he had been at Chang'an Gate when he heard someone behind him stop him.

Yang Fan turned around and saw Zhou Yanru hurriedly getting off the sedan chair, so he said, "What does Master Zhou have to teach you?" ”

Zhou Yanru ran too fast, the tassels on the crown of his head hung on his hair, and after he stood up, he smiled and said, "Don't you dare to teach, Yang Guogong still remember when you and I walked in front of the Imperial Palace to discuss tax reform?" ”

"Yes." Yang Fan smiled slightly, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhou Yanru said with a smile: "A few days ago, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty had an unpleasant quarrel with you, and this matter, in the eyes of contemptible, was caused by a lack of timely communication. You see, the tax reform we discussed at the beginning can now be implemented smoothly, isn't it because of the unity of position that this matter has been done? ”

"So what?"

"So, several colleagues have discussed with each other, and sent me, the peacemaker, to communicate with Yang Guogong to see if there is anything that can be discussed in private first, so as not to be so embarrassing in the court, what do you say?"

Yang Fan smiled, it seems that the people who survived this wave are scared, for fear of being taken away again. "Master Zhou is serious. In fact, there is no intention of targeting the following, I hope you, including the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty, understand that we are ministers, and we should be right about things and not people, and the party fights and excludes each other, and it is not good for the country and the people. Are you right or not? ”

"This is reasonable, don't say that empty talk is misrepresenting the country, this is not the right thing for people, I have long felt it, Yang Guogong, you see that I and other bureaucrats in Beijing visit the people once a month to listen to the people's livelihood, what do you think?"

Zhou Yanru put forward this idea, but he was also forced to do so. The pollsters in this place have made some local lords miserable, and the complaint letters of the officials have never been broken. On the one hand, this complaint can be submitted to the ministry, which is the order of Zhu Youzhen, and on the other hand, there is also the fast track of Jinyiwei, which will buy a lot of useful information every month and reach the emperor's desk.

Both of these ends have to prove the necessity of their own existence, and now after the purge, they dare not be too presumptuous, and the dismissal and demotion of this official are also extremely frequent, and it just so happens that the new science and technology jinshi and the Han Linsheng of the previous year have been trained by Yang Fan in advance, and the high-spirited people have become "servants of the people".

"It's good to experience the lives of the poor and experience more, and the people's livelihood will be known."

In the spring, the temporary political communication was formed, under a series of measures and heavy blows.

This spring, it's a little warm. (To be continued.) )
