The Nanjing Military Department Shangshu hangs the counselor's machine, has the power to train the internal and external garrisons, compassionate the people, arrest thieves, and revitalize the general affairs, compared with the other five cadres and idle Shangshu, the authority is very amazing, and it happened to catch up with the southeast to resist the Japanese, the army went south, and the status of the Southern Military Department Shangshu skyrocketed.

Jiajing also gave Tang Shunzhi two powers, one is to supervise and train the villagers, and the other is to appoint and dismiss personnel. Although it still needs to be approved and reported by the ministry, no one will make trouble for the general petty officials and monks, Tang Shunzhi's independent power is quite large, it can be said that today's Jiangnan has formed a double-headed pattern of Zhang Jing, the governor of the southeast, and Tang Shunzhi, the secretary of the military department.

As the saying goes, leaning on the big tree to enjoy the shade, and got the news of the teacher's promotion, Tang Yi rushed and came to congratulate him with two large boxes of gifts.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, he was deflated, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old young man in cloth stopped him.

"My father has a life, and anyone who comes to pay New Year's greetings is not allowed to bring gifts, and please ask my husband to come back." Saying that, the young man was as cold as ice, and bowed lightly, clearly asking Tang Yi to leave thousands of miles away.

Tang Yi didn't care, but smiled, reached out and patted the young man's shoulder, making the young man glare.

"Sir, self-respect!"

"Hehe, you're Senior Brother Yuanqing, right?"

The young man frowned and wondered, "How do you know me?" ”

"Nonsense, the teacher often mentions you to me, I don't know." Tang Yi hugged his shoulders and said.

"Master...... Are you a junior brother? The young man happily jumped three feet high, looked carefully, and saw that Tang Yi had a slender figure, sword eyebrows, and very decent dress, no wonder his father appreciated him so much.

Tang Hezheng rubbed his hands awkwardly and said apologetically: "It's all my brother's clumsiness." The little brother can't compensate you. ”

"Haha, the family doesn't talk to the two families, let's be closer in the future." Tang Yi walked inside as he spoke, and the little guy behind him carried things and followed closely.

Tang Hezheng's face sank, and he stretched out his hand to stop it.

"Senior brother. When you come to pay New Year's greetings, it is naturally welcome, but the gift daddy said, no one is allowed to put it in. Tang Hezheng kept his face calm and didn't give an inch.

Tang Yi was helpless, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, if others can't do it, I can't do it?" ”

Tang Hezheng turned his head and made a gesture of not recognizing his six relatives. Just then, I heard a cough behind me.

"Let him in!"

Tang Hezheng hurriedly turned around and saw his father coming. Hurriedly bowed, lowered his posture to the lowest, and said softly, "Yes." After speaking, he bowed and retreated to the side, and he didn't dare to come out. But the next scene made Tang Hezheng startled, only to see Tang Yi come over and salute, and then he actually stretched out his hand to hook up with Tang Shunzhi's shoulder, and walked inside, saying unscrupulously while walking: "Master, as the saying goes, an official's temper rises. Don't lie to me! ”

Tang Hezheng only felt that the sky was thundering, and he had the impression. Daddy is the most solemn and decent, not smiling, sacrosanct, if you hold the green dragon knife, you can enjoy the incense in the temple. It doesn't matter if it's a nephew or a student. When I saw him, I was respectful and didn't dare to go beyond half a point.

Who knew that such a monster as Tang Yi would appear, and he didn't pay attention to decency at all. But the old man was still willing, and he even looked up to the sky and sighed, "It's not that the temper is rising." It's troubles! ”

"Master, don't worry, the disciple has sent you a prescription."

"What's the prescription?" Tang Shunzhi asked suspiciously.

Tang Yi pouted at the wooden box and said with a smile: "It's all inside!" ”

……

When he got inside, the guest sat down, Tang Hezheng stood obediently behind his father, Tang Shunzhi glanced at him and said, "Yuanqing, you can sit too." ”

Tang Hezheng nodded hurriedly and sat opposite Tang Yi, just sitting on half of his buttocks, pressing his thighs with both hands, ready to stand up at any time.

Tang Shunzhi didn't have time to pay attention to his son, and said to Tang Yi: "Okay, this time for the teacher to clear the White Lotus Sect, from the outsider's point of view, for the teacher to have unlimited scenery, a great achievement, in fact, like a person drinking water cold and warm self-knowledge, the White Lotus Sect is so powerful, the number of believers, it is beyond imagination, and there are many names, such as: Maitreya Sect, Qingshui Sect, Light Sect, Holy Maiden Sect...... And so on, stupid men and stupid women, and those who respond are like clouds. Like a leek, after cutting a stubble, it won't be long before another stubble will grow, over and over again, endlessly! ”

Not only Tang Shunzhi has this feeling, Tang Yi also knows the truth very well, even after hundreds of years, under the guise of various gods, various religions, and people who collect money and cheat people are still emerging in an endless stream. With Tang Shunzhi's wisdom, he wouldn't feel that he could completely exterminate the White Lotus Sect, he should be worried about something else.

"Master, are you worried that Xiang Yong will be invaded by the White Lotus Sect?"

Tang Shunzhi pondered for a long time and nodded.

"Yes, Xiang Yong's proposal is put forward by us together, success is a glory, and defeat is a loss. As a teacher, I am really worried about the preparation of the village bravery, once we fail, we will be doomed, but the teacher does not care about fame and fortune, even if he loses, he can also leave a reference for future generations, but he is afraid that your future will be affected! ”

Tang Shunzhi's words are serious and long, and the love of licking calves is overflowing. Tang Yi is not only his disciple, but also the heir to the mantle, carrying forward his political ideals, doing what he wants to do but does not dare to do, from this point of view, Tang Yi is more like his son than Tang Hezheng. Tang Shunzhi has been thinking about this matter these days, but he has no idea, so he is distressed.

"Master, the disciple thinks that the Confucian scholars of all generations lack the spirit of seeking truth from facts." Tang Yi said with a calm face: "For example, it is a good slogan to be lightly punished. However, the tax revenue was less, the army could not afford to support it, and the officials could not afford it, so for the sake of the so-called light tax and meager endowment, they had to get a large number of officials with no merit to enrich the government, and as a result, the people paid more price. For example, in order to prevent officials from encroaching on the people, they connived at the clan power to grow, and the court decrees reached the county government at most, and the local squires were all old squires who were exercising power instead of the court. Master, the disciple has the audacity to say, the local family hides dirt and dirt, and does whatever they want, I dare not say that the world is as black as a crow, but there are very few good ones. The patriarchal law is greater than the national law, and the power of the imperial court does not go to the countryside, which creates a power vacuum and causes social fragmentation. And the White Lotus Sect is to use these fragments to become bigger, and in turn to threaten the imperial court and threaten the society, you must not ignore it! ”

Tang Yi's words are no longer criticizing the shortcomings of the ancestral system, but pointing the finger at the biggest drawback of the external Confucian and internal legal system since the Qin and Han dynasties.

In fact, by extension, the emperor is the largest landlord in the world, the largest squire, the vassal king is the second layer, the scholar is the third layer, and the squire landlord is the lowest level, layer upon layer, all pressing on the people, no wonder the people are not happy.

Because of the darkness of the lamp, the scholars of the past generations were reluctant to examine their own problems. For example, Tang Hezheng on the side, he felt that his junior brother's words were deviant, and they were set by the saints of Confucius and Mencius. He wanted to argue, but he didn't know that his father Tang Shunzhi nodded happily.

"Xingzhi's words have always hit the nail on the head, and it is better to be a teacher. It's just that what you said, what does it have to do with Xiang Yong? ”

"Of course it matters, in fact, most of the issues are one and the same, what does the imperial court do, in short, it is to regulate the interests of all parties. Taking the light levy as an example, there are two major aspects, one is to reduce the burden of the people, and the other is to perform the duties of the imperial court. If the imperial court does not have the strength to manage the place and the strength to defend against the enemy, it will cause trouble and harassment of the Japanese bandits, and the White Lotus bandits will be everywhere. Similarly, I am worried that Xiang Yong will give the White Lotus Sect a chance to infiltrate, which will make the local tail big and cause a lot of trouble, so you need to face the difficulties and solve all the problems! Tang Yi said and stood up, went to the front of the box, and opened the lid.

I took out a booklet and brought it to the teacher.

Tang Shunzhi took it, opened it and took a look, only to see that the situation of a township brave was written in detail on it, from childhood to adulthood, including family members, it was clear, and there was a record of the performance since joining the army training, the battlefield meritorious service, on the last page, there is also a special number, this number is the identity of the soldier, he can go to the designated money bank, that is, the traffic line, to receive the money and silver.

From the moment he released Xiang Yong, Tang Yi was planning, he needed Xiang Yong to become strong, but he never wanted Xiang Yong to become a private soldier of any careerist, even if he was the same.

For several months, Tang Yi has been working hard to design the system, and has written letters to several people who are closest to him, asking them to constantly test methods and sum up experience.

The two boxes in front of him are the situation of Lei Qi and Qian Fatzi in the name of Xiang Yong, a total of 400 people, each of whom has a file that is a hundred times more complete than that of the imperial court, I dare not say that other forces will not be able to mix, even if a few come in, they will not be able to set off the wind and waves, and it is insignificant.

The most important thing is that Tang Yi separated the distribution of Yulu from the officers below, and also separated it from the family, and introduced the bank, which put an end to the problem of private soldiers, and at the same time, the big family could not use Yulu to blackmail and control Xiangyong.

The rest, such as strengthening the education of soldiers and instilling the concept of loyalty to the country's society, all made Tang Shunzhi's eyes shine.

What Tang Yi, an apprentice, appreciates most about his ability to design the system, which is interlocking and thoughtful, and what seems impossible to do, under his arrangement, he has taken all of it into account.

Tang Shunzhi looked at the files of more than a dozen soldiers in one breath, and finally couldn't help laughing, "Okay, this is the best gift my father has received this year!" But it can also be the worst gift. He smiled bitterly: "If you want to do it in such detail, I don't know how much work it will take!" ”

"Don't get tired of eating, don't get tired of being fine, come on, Master!"

Tang Shunzhi scolded with a smile: "Little rabbit cub, take the exam well, enter the officialdom early, help the teacher as soon as possible, and avoid the master being exhausted to death!" ”

In order to be busy with the affairs of the township Yong's filing, Tang Shunzhi didn't leave Tang Yi to eat, and drove him out directly. Walking on the way home, a gust of cold wind blew, Tang Yi grinned: Imperial examination, the master is here! (To be continued.) )
