Early June.

It's already hot.

Yang Gaicao still has to pay attention to the war in Liaodong every day, still has to personally deal with the intelligence of all parties, and still corrects the "homework" of various places to supervise the progress of various places, which sounds more than before, but in fact, it is not very busy, except for the last dynasty, he can spare a lot of free time every day.

Mandarin Palace.

Today is not the day of the early dynasty, but, the ministers also have more important things to report, but they need to go to the Wenhua Hall to work, Yang Reform arrived at the Wenhua Hall early, Yang Gaicao planned to deal with the matter, and went to see the results of his scientific research.

In the Wenhua Palace, there is a discussion.

"Your Majesty, according to the situation reported from various places, this year's disaster situation has gradually become clear, and the drought situation is as expected by Your Majesty, and almost all the northern provinces are among the reduced output, and only a few prefectures and counties have experienced large-scale harvests." , Tobe shì Lang Bi Ziyan reported on today's important situation.

Bi Ziyan reported, and the other ministers stood in awe, this fact verified the emperor's power, you can know the size of the disaster in advance, you can know in advance what disaster will suffer, if it is completely guessed, everyone doesn't believe it, now, the emperor has a legend taught by a god, in the minds of these important ministers in the court, it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, although he doesn't say it, the emperor no longer mentions this matter, but everyone always faintly thinks of these things in their hearts to the god person, the emperor in everyone's mind, It adds to the mystery sè color.

"Oh, is it? It's time to come, it's still coming! Yang Gaicao responded, sighing, history records that there is no major disaster this year, "However, according to the climate of the Xiaoice River at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is basically abnormal, and the entire Chongzhen Dynasty "can be said to be a good year in one or two years, so Yang Gaicao is a bold judgment, this year cannot be a bumper harvest year, there is no large-scale, and its serious damage, it is also necessary to reduce production, and in June" The situation in various places is gradually summarized, and the situation is finally clear, I guessed correctly, history is still following history, and I can change many things, But it has no ability to change the historical climate.

"His Majesty Quannai Shengming, prepared a carriage for disaster relief in advance" Today's post carriage, the north has basically been in place, and disaster relief is already being carried out, and as His Majesty expected, a reduction in production "Many people living on the edge of poverty can only go away to other places to make a living, the same place, obviously can not feed the same number of people, the people in the world are waiting to be fed, His Majesty Quannai's carriage rescue, it is really the right time. Bi Ziyan and his seriousness said in an extremely fortunate tone.

"Well, ............, if you can catch up, what about the public carriage?" , Yang Gaicao asked again, in fact, "

According to the homework handed in by Liu Mao, Yang Gaicao also knows how far he has advanced, but it is also necessary to mention this matter to the Wenhua Palace, knowing it does not mean that everyone knows it, and saying it in the Wenhua Hall is equivalent to admitting a lot of things.

"Back to Your Majesty, the public carriage, the minister heard that it has been advanced to the provincial capitals of the provinces, and some places suitable for four-wheeled carriages have been advanced to the state capitals, but there is still a big gap from all the spread, the minister thinks that the promotion should be increased, fortunately, there are not many places that will not be harvested this year, and there will not be many places where public carriages may need to be used, so there is still time to ......", Liu Yanyuan, the secretary of the military department, replied.

"Oh, that's good, I will supervise the carriage yard in this matter, and I will supervise Liu Mao as soon as possible." Yang Gaicao said.

"......, by the way, there are statistics from the household department, is there more people who want to work, or more people who want to emigrate?" , Yang Gaicao asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are, according to the statistics of the household department, the majority of immigrants are in relatively poor places such as Shaanxi, and many people in places like Shandong just want to find a place to work, and they can survive a period of time, and then the people who want to emigrate are not as ...... as those in Shaanxi," replied Bi Ziyan, the secretary of the household department.

"That's to be expected, too." Yang Gaicao responded.

"Back to Your Majesty, exactly, those places in Shaanxi, the land is too barren, almost every year is a hard life, and it is estimated that mō is also poor, therefore, many people take advantage of the east wind of His Majesty's great immigration, to live in the land of fish and rice in the south, I heard that there is a year of grain or three crops in the south, are very happy immigrants, many people are also afraid of missing the east wind of His Majesty's immigration, therefore, there are many immigrants, often the whole village and half of the people make an appointment to immigrate together, and the income is Haohao dàngdàng............ngdàng, but Shandong, Shanxi and other places are different, although their lives are hard, but not too bad, boil up, but also make do, and do not want to go away, therefore, there are many people who want to work, and there are also people who want to immigrate, but there are not as many as Shaanxi. Bi Ziyan explained in detail the situation of immigrants in various places today. ,

"It's not easy for ordinary people to live\\1" ............ The matter of immigration is taken care of by Master Xu, but I am not worried, but I am worried, these people who are unwilling to immigrate and just want to work for a period of time, do the household department have an estimate? How many are there? I am worried that there will not be enough places for these people to work, and if there are not enough places for these people to work, they will inevitably become beggars, or steal, do some illegal things, or starve to ............death," Yang said.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is still difficult to estimate, how many people in Gyeonggi, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and other places combined? The minister thought that it would not be less than a million to say less, and His Majesty's worries did make sense to find a job for so many people at one time, and it was difficult to be afraid, so the minister suggested that His Majesty. More workshops should be built, or more cash-for-work businesses should be started to accommodate so many people. Bi Ziyan said.

"Oh, I've been expanding the factories to accommodate more people to work, but after all, it's limited, the Qing family said that at least a million or more people need to find a job to live, and the capacity of the workshop is also limited! Let's discuss it with all of you. Yang Gaicao said in embarrassment, talking about this today, it can be regarded as justifying many things, such as the role of the factory, has been very discriminated against and suppressed, although now the emperor takes everyone to run a factory and make money, but the reputation of the factory is still not considered to be on the table, and now it is linked to disaster relief, which is to raise the status of the factory, and also to work in the factory as an important means of disaster relief in a country" It is considered to raise the political status of industry and commerce, although this thing seems boring, but to change the grass and promote industrialization" This is also an indispensable step.

The emperor asked everyone to discuss, and the ministers also began to discuss, and almost all the people present held stocks, almost all of them made money from stocks, and their attitude towards the factory was also very subtle.

There is opposition to "after all, Shinong industry and commerce, the status of industry and commerce is the lowest, this is a tradition for thousands of years, but now the emperor is too strong, not to mention a glass Zhai, but also opened a lot of fields, people who want to oppose think of their own stocks "those businesses they run, some people who want to oppose, and the emperor is not so easy to fool, if the emperor suddenly talks about those things in his own family when he opposes them" to talk about the stocks he bought, it will be a shame, some people want to oppose, but they can't open their mouths, they can only be silent.

There are also those in favor, such as Bi Ziyan "is now strongly supporting the emperor to set up a factory, he now has a great reputation in the Ming Dynasty, to a large extent, "all rely on that sentence, and get five million taels of silver at once" more than the sum of the imperial court's annual income, so as to become famous all over the world, so he is fully supportive of the factory, and is also very "red-eyed", the emperor's various firms, workshops, are consciously taxed, and Bi Ziyan is envious of it, and it is a pity that he is "salivating" all day long, except for the emperor's control or related businesses, workshop, no one wants to pay taxes voluntarily, he wants to learn from the emperor, that is impossible. has also been beating the emperor's idea, wanting to divide points from the emperor,

Soup.

"Your Majesty, since there is such a big gap, the minister thinks that it is better to use work for relief, recruit disaster victims to build bridges, repair roads, or dredge rivers, so that it can definitely meet the needs of millions of people to do their work." , Han Bai found an opportunity and said, he can now see that the division of labor between the emperor's auxiliary ministers in the cabinet is becoming more and more obvious, no one is in charge of a mess, for example, Sun Chengzong is in charge of the military, Xu Guangqi is in charge of immigration and disaster relief, many related scripts, the emperor is directly handed over to them to deal with, the emperor basically does not interfere, its actual power is actually the largest, and the rest does not have a clear division of labor like the above two, but there is still a difference between them, to him Han Ba, there is only one personnel, It's still vague in his hands, but in this regard, the emperor sees it more strictly, and manages more, his real power is not a little worse than Sun and Xu, and his treatment is better than Zhang Ruitu, Zhang Ruitu's guy, but he is in charge of miscellaneous things, in his hands, but he basically didn't get anything, he took care of everything, but he couldn't manage anything, Han Bai heard a few days ago that the emperor was asking about ditches and streets, and estimated that the emperor was probably going to build roads and streets, so he wanted to catch this matter, If the Ministry of Industry has caught this piece of construction, the amount of money in his hands is not a small number, and the real power in his hands has risen sharply. ,

"Oh, the Qing family has a point." Yang Gaicao nodded, agreeing, but did not make any comments. I intend to let everyone continue.

The ministers present said something about finding a job for more people, which is nothing more than two attitudes, one is to work for relief, represented by Han Ba, and the other is to set up a factory, with Bi Ziyan as the main force.

Yang Gaicao listened to it for a long time, and felt that it was enough, so he pressed his hand to make everyone quiet. When the ministers saw that the emperor was about to speak, they all stopped and looked at the emperor.

"I listened to the discussion of your family, but also benefited a lot, the workshop and the work for relief, but also have their own benefits, now the four-wheeled carriage is popularizing on a large scale, many official roads, do need to be repaired, work for relief, repair roads, repair bridges, dredging rivers can indeed be a lot cheaper, however, the workshop also has the benefits of the workshop, once the disaster victims enter the workshop, not only do not have to spend money to support this person, but this person can get paid through labor, in addition to being able to support himself, but also have a surplus, not only can support his family, I have always believed that in addition to being able to support themselves, the common people should also be able to support their families, and my people should live better and better, so I mean to be inclined to the ...... of these people entering the factory", Yang Gaicao expressed his meaning.

That is, although cash-for-work can get a lot of free labor, but in fact, it is not helpful for industrialization, in addition to having workshops, there must be workers, but also need to have a very large consumption base, this consumption base must also have the corresponding consumption capacity, if it is just blindly cash-for-work, just to feed those people, those people obviously in addition to barely surviving, it is impossible to provide any consumption power "for business, basically no big promotion of industry, Yang reform meaning, Those who do things are paid wages, and use money to promote the further development of commerce and industry, so as to achieve a good cycle, of course, if all are done with business models, building roads and dredging rivers These need silver, it is not ordinary.

Cultivating the working class and cultivating the base for consuming industrial products and commodities is also an important topic at present.

Everyone looked at the emperor, the emperor's mind was really different, and others only thought about how to come with less money, but the emperor was thinking about how to come with more money, and in the face of the emperor's attitude, many people were confused, and could only look at the emperor in a daze with unfamiliar eyes.

“…… However, it is obvious that the factory cannot fully absorb these people" In this way, give priority to these people to enter the factory, and the local government should give convenience to those who want to work, and not make it difficult, and the rest can not be accommodated, so they will use work for relief, to build roads, to dredge rivers, etc. Yang Gaicao set the tone.

"Your Majesty, but in this way, the money needed for cash-for-work will be a lot!" , Han Bai was surprised by the emperor's idea, and reminded that the emperor's money is really too much, and the emperor earns fame, so he never lets go.

"Hehehe, what the Qing family said is right, so, what I mean, try to stuff it into the factory, the workshop is good for the victims, the workshop itself, and the court, which is a win-win situation for everyone, as for the road repair with work for relief, no matter what, it is also necessary to invest money in it, it is only a matter of how much, since you still have to invest in the silver, then you might as well invest a little more, and also give my people a thought, so that everyone has motivation and the strength to fight!" , Yang Gaicao said with a smile.

The ministers couldn't understand what the emperor meant, so they could only say that the emperor was a benevolent person, and in this year of the catastrophe, not only should there be food, but also silver.

gave the factory an explanation, Yang Gaicao's purpose today can be regarded as achieved, and then talked about another thing.

"I want to know, what do you think of the various cow and horse dung on the street? I heard Liu Mao say that when the weather is dry, the cow and horse dung on the street will come to everyone's mouth again. Yang Gaicao suddenly asked.

When the emperor said this, the ministers were embarrassed, how could they say this in the hall, it was really a bad scenery. The weather in Beijing, those who live in Beijing for a long time, have also been taught, saying that eating cow and horse dung is not nonsense. ,

"Back to Your Majesty, the climate in Jingshi has always been like this, Your Majesty's meaning, is it to solve this problem?" , Shi Fenglai replied, also trying to ask.

"What do you mean, do you have a solution? It's always like this, it's very easy to get the epidemic, and I have heard that many people will be convenient on the street? After the dry and waterlogging on this day, it is also very easy to cause the epidemic, and it is best to find a way to solve it, I am the emperor, there should be a new atmosphere in the world, and we must not be so passable and ...... it", "Yang Gaicao said another thing, that is, the health problem, this problem seems not big, in fact, it has a great relationship with the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the great plague of Chongzhen in 17 years, resulting in a huge Beijing city, can not resist for a day, among them, the relationship between the plague is great.

The ministers looked at the emperor in unison, and the emperor's thoughts have always been different from ordinary people.

"Your Majesty, if you want to eat the livestock in Xicheng, there is a period of time every year to float to the inner city, if you want to solve this matter, you can only prohibit the city from taking livestock, but this is obviously not possible, so many things have to be hauled by livestock every year, how can you do without livestock?" , An official said with a smile, the taste of livestock in Xicheng refers to the smell of feces, which means that Xicheng is the center of the gathering of livestock, and the taste of livestock there is particularly strong than other places, whenever the west wind blows, this taste of livestock will blow all over the city. Shi Fenglai immediately proposed, that is, ask someone to clean it.

As he was talking, a eunuch came in, although he was in a hurry, but he was also happy, and reported: "Your Majesty, Liaodong urgent!" ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" , Yang Gaicao, who was solving the health problem, hurriedly asked, Liaodong's urgent report, I don't know what is happening in Liaodong now, looking at the face of the eunuch, it shouldn't be a bad thing.

"Back to Your Majesty, the governor of Liaodong reported urgently, saying that part of the eastern captives besieging Songshan Fort had been withdrawn, and the captive chief Huang Taiji had entered the ............ east", the eunuch said happily, this matter is really a great joy, Songshan Fort, which has been besieged for almost half a year, is finally saved.

"Good!" When Yang Gaicao heard the news, he immediately shouted hello, the strategy has already had an effect, and strategically, it is developing in a direction that is beneficial to him.

When the ministers heard it, they congratulated one after another, this news is really good news, since the Donglu has withdrawn part of it, presumably the pressure on Songshan Fort has been greatly reduced, and there is no risk of being breached, the operation to rescue Songshan Fort has won another ride, and this year's war with Donglu, the Ming Dynasty has a bigger chance of winning. @。
