Chapter 52: A Mess

Zhu Changming has been busy dealing with large and small affairs since breakfast, he didn't expect that Wei Zhongxian would be able to elevate the emperor to such a distance, all over the country, must first be reviewed by him, before he can selectively present to Ming Xizong, looking at the mountains of twists and turns, Zhu Changming is a headache, these twists and turns are roughly divided into two kinds, one is really urgent, the need for the court to adjudicate, the other is in the name of the emperor, to show loyalty to Wei Zhongxian.

Let Xing Jiamu classify these recitals, put aside those officials who patted Wei Zhongxian's sycophants, and focus on the urgent matters in various places first, after a morning of careful combing, Xing Jiamu selected two of the most urgent recitals and put them in front of Zhu Changming.

Shanxi, Shaanxi, all over the scattered disaster victims gathered together, robbing large households, besieging granaries, although there has not yet been a large-scale civil uprising, but if the imperial court's disaster relief grain is not released in time, it may spread at any time, Shanxi, Shaanxi governors, every day is three copies of 800 miles of urgent twists, urgent report of the development of the gaffe.

Liaodong Metropolitan Division reported that Nurhachi had been under the Chenbing Mountain Pass, and several troops were repulsed to seize the pass, and the damage was heavy, but our defenders consumed a lot, and the grain and grass in the current army were consumed in less than a month.

After reading these two recitals, Zhu Changming said to Xing Jiamu: "Old Xing, in terms of the current situation, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

Xing Jiamu said: "Now these things are bound to happen in history, if you want to stop it, relying on our current strength, it is not enough to complete, but you don't have to worry too much, after these things happen, we still have more than ten years to turn the situation around, now we have a stable foothold, no one is available, even if we know how to avoid these things, it is useless." ”

"The top priority now is to cultivate our own forces, and once we have people available, it will be easy to do anything."

Zhu Changming said: "Now Wei Changsheng can already be regarded as our person, and the Lu Zhiyong under him is not bad, these two people should focus on cultivating them, now Wei Changsheng is already a thousand households, and there are six or seven hundred people under his hands, if these six or seven hundred people are used well, it should be a big force." ”

Xing Jiamu said: "These two people can indeed be reused, but their official positions in the Jinyi Guard are too low, not to mention Tian Ergeng, even a pacification envoy, they can make them restrain their hands and feet." ”

Zhu Changming said: "This Tian Ergeng is not very easy to deal with now, this person is too cunning, the way to deal with Wei Zhongxian, it is definitely useless to deal with him, now I am thinking of a way, how can I break him apart, or set him up, once he loses power, Jinyiwei can be completely controlled by us." ”

Xing Jiamu said: "Actually, we still have a force to use now, didn't the factory governor of the East Factory just been eliminated by you, we can take advantage of this time to promote a factory governor, so that the power of the East Factory can be called at any time." ”

Zhu Changming said: "I have also thought about what you said, but the governor of this Dongchang must be appointed by the emperor himself, and we can't influence the decision of Ming Xizong now." ”

Xing Jiamu said: "I have a way to deal with this Ming Xi Sect. ”

Zhu Changming said: "What is the way, let's hear it." ”

Xing Jiamu said: "Didn't you kill the factory governor of the East Factory?" We can, in the name of asking for sin, ask to see Ming Xi Sect, and after seeing Ming Xi Sect, you give this to him first."

After that, Xing Jiamu took out a book from his arms, Zhu Changming took the book, and at a glance, he knew that this book was newly bound, because the incision of the book was still brand new, and there was no trace of reading it at all.

Flipping through the book, Zhu Changming saw that there were some drawings of modern furniture, some carpentry skills, and finally even some about the Zhuge crossbow and the method of making wooden oxen and flowing horses.

After reading these, Zhu Changming said: "When did you prepare this?" ”

Xing Jiamu smiled and said, "When I learned that we arrived in the Apocalypse Year, I began to prepare these things from memory, in order to use them one day when approaching the Ming Xi Sect, but I didn't expect our progress to be so smooth, so I only prepared a small part." ”

Zhu Changming said: "It's okay to leave a part to adjust his appetite, even if he doesn't sell Wei Zhongxian's face, with the next volume of this book to follow, he won't do anything to us." ”

Xing Jiamu said: "This alone is not enough, after he accepts this atlas, you will use this atlas as an excuse that it needs special ** cooperation, Hu ** will give him a set of internal skills, and then cooperate with Liu Minghan's drugs, and then you will get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Zhu Changming said: "It seems that the faint monarch also has the benefits of the faint monarch, at least it is easier for us to control." ”

Xing Jiamu said: "Although it is easy to control, but now the Ming Dynasty is so dilapidated, and it is also thanks to this faint king." ”

Zhu Changming said: "Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, the Ming Dynasty has today, it is not the responsibility of him Zhu Youxiao alone." ”

Xing Jiamu said: "Do you still want to continue to use Zhu Youxiao?" ”

Zhu Changming sighed and said, "I haven't figured out who to use yet." From my personal point of view, I really want to use Zhu Youxiao, after all, this person is easy to control, and we have to save a lot of trouble in operation. ”

"But from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhen is a rare Daoming monarch, after all, we are just laymen in politics and governing the country, and we don't play a big role in the long-term development of the Ming Dynasty."

Xing Jiamu said: "This matter is indeed a headache. ”

Zhu Changming said: "Forget it, after all, there is still a period of time before the handover between their brothers, and this matter depends on how things will be decided in the future." ”

"By the way, how is the progress over there?"

Xing Jiamu said: "The first batch of test samples on her side has come out, although the effect is not as good as expected, but it is not very bad, it is much stronger than ordinary people." ”

Zhu Changming said: "When does she plan to release these test samples to test the effect?" ”

Xing Jiamu said: "Now it's just a small-scale indoor trial, when will the large-scale outdoor trial begin, He Yue didn't say, you know, she is a paranoid, if she doesn't achieve her expected results, she will not agree to the large-scale trial." ”

Zhu Changming said: "I'll talk to her personally for a while, if she doesn't agree to large-scale experiments, I will cut off her supply of raw materials, we are now stretched, if there is no new force to put into use, just rely on the current manpower, no problem can be solved at all." ”
