Yan Song took a sip of tea and said: "The court is now a house that leaks wind everywhere, in the past few years, the ups and downs outside have not stopped, I am alone to shelter Your Majesty from the wind and rain, reluctantly, it can be regarded as blocking, but I myself was also wet by the wind and rain, and now the outside is saying that I am the first traitor since the Ming Dynasty, what do you think." Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiaotian hurriedly said: "There is no matter, under the elder of the pavilion, above ten thousand people, there is a Ming monarch on the throne, and there are powerful ministers under the Manchu Dynasty, I know that the elder of the pavilion is the most difficult."

Yan Song laughed twice and said: "There are no fierce ministers, Pinghu They are also worried about the country, but now I am the master of the Ming Dynasty after all, some things are easier said than done, and I have no way, when he really sits in my position, he will know my difficulties."

Xiaotian hurriedly said yes.

Yan Song continued: "The world belongs to the emperor, not my Yan family, I don't have the ability to call the wind and rain, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, the Ming Dynasty has become what it is today, and it is not caused by me Yan Song alone, the two capitals and thirteen provinces are all people recommended by me, and any accounts are counted on my head, in fact, even if they are replaced by them, they may not be much better." Could it be that the person I Yan Song sent out must be a traitor, I only have a wife and a son, what do I want so much money for? Jiangsu and Zhejiang are in chaos, what good is it for me? Isn't this to be counted on my head?

I rub, you have a point, I was speechless.

Xiaotian: "Then in that case, why... ”

Yan Song said with a smile: "Why do you know that you can't do it, hehe, you don't know the price of firewood and rice, you are also here this morning, you should know the difficulties of the imperial court, I will say something you don't know, last month the west came to report, Taicang is empty, and the Tatar side is not peaceful, the border army of Xuanda has not been paid for a year, this winter, there is not much snow in the whole territory of Shanxi, do you know what this means."

Hiss... Of course, Xiaotian understands what this means, which means that as long as there is a spark in the two provinces of Shanxi this year, it can explode. When the time comes, the Tatar drives straight in, and it's a few days around BJ if it's not good.

Xiao Tiandao: "Then the imperial court, there is nothing to do?"

Yan Song smiled: "Yes, isn't this your millions of taels of silver?"

But it's still not right, there is no self in history, and he hurriedly asked: "What if I don't do these deals this year, or maybe I can't change rice to mulberry?" ”

Yan Song said: "Then there is a way, before receiving your letter, the cabinet had already planned to mint money, and the votes were all prepared."

Xiaotian was silent, in all dynasties, the two most effective ways for the court to lose money were to mint money, and the other was more ruthless, that is, to print banknotes. This is no longer exploiting the people, but naked snatching money from the people, once the imperial court mints money on a large scale, the people can still buy a copper plate of a large cake today, and tomorrow they may only be able to buy a steamed bun, and the day after tomorrow, they may not even be able to buy a nest.

Yan Song said again: "So you don't have to be pressured, you still have merit to the court and the people, and it is better to change rice to mulberry than to mint money."

Xiao Tiandao: "But the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang... ”

Yan Song said: "It's just cutting meat to mend sores, how can there be anything that doesn't hurt?"

Xiaotian was silent, yes, he was speechless, changing rice to mulberry is indeed better than casting money, after all, the pit is at most only the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, take 10,000 steps back, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are in chaos, and it is better than Shanxi and Shaanxi, but this is not a math problem now, this is the net worth of thousands of people.

Xiao Tian said again: "In this case, why can't we work together, as long as we ensure that the people's land is not annexed in large quantities, and a large amount of grain can be transported in time, at least we can ensure that Jiangsu and Zhejiang are not chaotic."

Yan Song said: "The eight hundred lords of the millennium field have always been like this, changing rice to mulberry is inseparable from the support of those powerful families, they have changed, and they have become half, officials at all levels also have an inextricable relationship with them, involving the powerful and even the vassal kings, can you still use policies to suppress them?" It is said that I am strict with the party and corrupt, but even if I Yan Song has great ability, at most I can manage the prefect, and I can't even name the county orders below, and there are more than 1,000 officials in two capitals, 13 provinces, and more than 1,000 officials, which one is not my proposed vote, is it that these more than 1,000 officials are all my people? Is it true that as long as these people are corrupt and derelict in their duties, they will be counted on my Yan Song's head? ”

Xiao Tian felt that his head was completely insufficient, so he only asked, "Then what do you mean... ”

Yan Song said: "Cutting meat to mend sores, there is no way, Shaohu They want to make money for the court, but they don't want to suffer the people, and they want the horses to run and don't let the horses eat grass, how can there be such a good thing in the world?" Many of the people under him are scholars, and they can't see this or that, so they can't figure it out by themselves. Poor old man, he has borne so much infamy. Jiangsu and Zhejiang this year to change rice to mulberry, must be completed, the extra 550,000 horses of silk, must also be woven, to complete this goal, land annexation is inevitable, what we can do is to master this degree, do not let the people starve to death, do not let the people make trouble, even if there is chaos, it cannot be a big mess, the people want to hate and scold, all at me Yan someone come to it"

Xiaotian suddenly understood, why did the whole world know that Yan Song was greedy, the whole world knew that this old man's ability to govern the country was average, and the whole world knew that this old man was timid and selfish, but Jiajing just didn't change him, could such a smart emperor as Jiajing be kept in the dark by him Yan Song? Of course not, it's because he can't help it, and even Jiajing can't do without him, just like he said, the imperial court is a house that leaks everywhere, Jiajing needs Yan Song to shelter him from the wind and rain, and this person did block it, so he didn't hesitate to wet himself.

When he finally left, Yan Song still kindly took Xiaotian's hand and said: "Zhao Wenhua has some ability, I know, but Hu Zongxian is indeed me selecting talents for the country, he is a capable person, don't look down on him, you will know if you have more contact, although Zhao Wenhua is greedy, he also knows the general situation, this matter must be done by him, there is dirty water to splash on him, but I hope you can protect Hu Zongxian and don't implicate him." Everything in the imperial court is difficult, it is not easy, and the affairs of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, please.

Xiao Tian hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the elder is hard." You can rest assured that the water in the south of the Yangtze River cannot flood him. Xiao Tian thought to himself, what is Hu Zongxian's ability, I am afraid that I know a little more than you.

When he got home, Xiao Tian felt that he was really about to die, Xu Jie's words, Yan Song's words, echoed in his mind repeatedly and alternately, who was wrong? Who's right? Xiaotian doesn't know, what to do?

I have to say that today's two conversations have changed Xiaotian's impression of these two people, there is no right or wrong in the court, and it has nothing to do with loyalty and treachery.

Just about to change clothes and go to bed, the next person came again, Lu Bing was invited.

Hey, you're still done.
