Chapter 142: Chongzhen's Yang Scheme
"My lord, this rich steel is also a waste to be put away, why don't we sell some farm tools, so that we can also reduce the burden on adults."
"Of course, you can also take care of the workshop that produces agricultural tools! You can make your own idea of how many people you need, just write a note to me and remember that it must be separated from our firearms workshop, and any idle people are forbidden to enter the firearms workshop. ”
"Humble duty understood."
Yang Tingjian thought that after inspecting the firearms workshop, he could come down and study with peace of mind, so as to meet the upcoming examination, but now that it is in the soup again, the steel factory in Huairou must go to see, if the earth open furnace is really effective, Yang Tingjian must expand the scale of the steel plant.
Steel is the foundation of the industrial revolution, and there is no doubt that there is no industrial revolution without steel! Isn't that?
Just as Yang Tingjian was about to go to Huairou, an attendant came to convey Chongzhen's message, which meant to let Yang Tingjian enter Beijing to discuss rewards.
The reward means that the reward for Yang Tingjian has not yet been decided, it seems that Zhou Yanru has not put less bad medicine, since Chongzhen is not happy in his heart, Yang Tingjian has made such a great contribution to the country, and what he says should be expressed, so there are internal servants who came to convey Chongzhen's message.
After Yang Tingjian received Chongzhen's message, he didn't say a word, and directly followed the chamberlain who conveyed the message back to Beijing. In fact, Yang Tingjian was also trying to discuss with Chongzhen about buying Longjiang Shipyard! Now Yang Tingjian can be regarded as having seen through the Ming officials, even if they are Qing officials who swear to die, they are also people who have done nothing, and they can't save Huaxia.
Yang Tingjian planned to do it himself and build the warship first. Then stand in Yizhou (Yizhou is Taiwan), don't worry about no one, there are too many landless homeless people in the Ming Dynasty now.
With a base. In order to develop, a place like Yizhou can be freely swayed, without too many constraints, in order to strengthen one's strength as quickly as possible, and when one's strength is enough, one can colonize other places and countries. For example, Australia and the Americas are great places to visit!
In the afternoon of the same day, Yang Tingjian met Emperor Chongzhen in the Qianqing Palace. Only Wang Chengen was by Chongzhen's side.
Yang Tingjian has entered the Qianqing Palace, so he can only take the lead in kneeling and bowing, shouting "Long live my emperor, long live." Hooray. ”
Chongzhen has been in a particularly good mood these days. Although disasters are often reported in various places, but the cabinet has silver, and it will not bother Chongzhen, Chongzhen is destined to be easy to go down this year, and when the household department tosses that bit of silver, it is estimated that Chongzhen will be annoyed again.
When Chongzhen saw Yang Tingjian coming in, he hurriedly put down the work at hand and said with a smile:
"Yang Aiqing. Flat. ”
"Weichen Xie Xià."
Chongzhen asked Yang Tingjian to get up and reply, but Yang Tingjian was not polite. After thanking him, he stood up.
"Yang Aiqing, this time you can be described as a hard worker, beheading more than 3,000 levels, or a real Tartar, capturing the Tartar Hou Jinong alive, forcing Lin Danhan's sister to submit, this pile, one by one, is a great achievement, how does Aiqing want me to reward you?"
Others have always lowered their heads in front of the emperor and asked, but Yang Tingjian has never had this awareness, Chongzhen seems to be used to Yang Tingjian's seemingly unreasonable behavior, after all, the two are of the same age. Yang Tingjian looked at Chongzhen with a smile on his face, and knew that Chongzhen, this kid, had no good intentions, most likely he was testing himself, and this reward was the end of killing his head, but fortunately, Yang Tingjian was just a small official with the size of a sesame mung bean:
"Majesty, this is the duty of Wechen, Wechen should share worries for Majestic, loyal to the country, Wechen dare not ask for a reward, but Wechen has two small requirements, and please ask for your Majesty's permission."
Chongzhen smiled, as long as this person is greedy, he can control it, there are no more than three kinds of greed for money, greed for money, lust for power, Chongzhen as the emperor, in the past few years of being the emperor, it can be regarded as a clear understanding, the ambition of the greedy and lustful subordinates is small, and it is easy to control, as long as this person is capable, even if he is greedy for money and lustful, Chongzhen can accept it.
To tell the truth, Chongzhen didn't want Yang Tingjian to be a subordinate of what kind of power, because Chongzhen found that Yang Tingjian was really a talent with both civil and military skills, and the country was in an eventful season, and Chongzhen needed such a talent too much.
This Yang Tingjian has already taken up the greedy one, and soon after arriving in Beijing, he found two concubines, and this main house has not yet been settled! Even the ruthlessness that he sent to him was accepted by him with peace of mind.
Chongzhen Fan was satisfied with Yang Tingjian's greedy appearance, and was even more satisfied with his ability, this time he asked Yang Tingjian what reward he needed, which was to test whether Yang Tingjian had the intention of having a love for power:
"Oh! Aiqing didn't want to be rewarded, but had two small requests, so Aiqing said let's talk about it. ”
How could Yang Tingjian not understand Chongzhen's careful thoughts! Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Ming Dynasty has been more wary of military generals, for fear of forming warlords, and now Yang Tingjian has a lot of soldiers and horses in his hands, there are nearly 4,000 people in the new army of Jinyiwei, and more than 5,000 Mongolian cavalry, which are all 10,000 elite soldiers, Yang Tingjian still dares to ask for any reward? That's the folly of looking for your own death.
"Your Majesty, since the new army of Jinyiwei was formed, both stations have been successful, and Weichen asked Majesty Xià to give the name of the new army of Jinyiwei, so that Weichen and his soldiers will always be grateful for the grace of His Majesty."
This request is also reasonable, Jinyiwei, as the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, used to catch some people and get some information, which is really useless, and now this Yang Tingjian has actually trained a pro-army of the Son of Heaven who dares to fight, Chongzhen's heart is also extremely gratified, but Chongzhen also has his own arrangements, since this Yang Tingjian has sent words to Chongzhen's mouth, Chongzhen does not plan to go around the bend:
"Aiqing can raise money to train the Son of Heaven pro-army, I am very relieved, I am really loyal to the country, I will give the name of Jinyi Wei New Army as the Tiger Army, but ...... It's just that according to the practice of the imperial court, the generals and their families who lead the troops must be placed in the Jingshi, I don't know what Aiqing wants. ”
Yang Tingjian must understand that this Chongzhen is definitely not a stupid person, and he is very smart, this requirement is not leaky, and he will beat the snake with the stick according to Yang Tingjian's words.
This Chongzhen's political skills are qualified, but the strategic vision of governing the country is insufficient, this is not Chongzhen's own problem, but the education of that era, Chongzhen used to read the Four Books and Five Classics, and his teachers are also some old scholars, how can it be possible to teach Chongzhen with strategic vision, it is absolutely impossible.
Yang Tingjian could not refuse Chongzhen's reasonable request, nor could he refuse:
"Your Majesty raises love, after the exam, Wechen took his family to Jingshi to settle down, thank you Majesty Xià for letting Wechen do his filial piety under his parents' knees."
Chongzhen smiled very proudly, smiling brightly, like a little fox who successfully stole chickens, Yang Tingjian couldn't wait to drag this kid Nima out and beat him into a panda eye. The Jingshi at the end of the Ming Dynasty was not a good place, and it was messed with by Jiannu every once in a while, which made people panic, and chickens and dogs jumped.
