The second year of Chongzhen passed in the burst of firecrackers.

This year may be a rare year of abundance, and this year's firecrackers are said to be more numerous and louder than in previous years.

Yang Reform thinks, maybe put a lot, I can't see the kind of fireworks that explode in the middle of the day, at most the firecrackers are a little dense, I am used to seeing the posture of firecrackers during the New Year in later generations, Yang Reform is very lively about this kind of liveliness, that is, I think it is general.

On the first day of the third year of Chongzhen, Yang Reform accepted the congratulations of hundreds of officials in the Huangji Hall [Jinluan Palace], which was the beginning of the new year.

However, it seems that the weather is not very cooperative, and it seems that the firecrackers of the New Year have not dispelled the gloomy weather, and the day is always groggy and has always seemed to be about to get dark. To express this weather in one way, that is obscure.

This year's omen is not very good, this is a lot of people's knowledge.

Yang Reform also has to say bad luck, this kind of probability of winning the lottery, actually met himself, in such an important day to encounter this kind of dark weather, it is really no way.

At the beginning of the new year, when encountering such an unfortunate weather, the monarchs and ministers can imagine that no one has a good face, and Yang Reform is no exception.

Although Yang Reform does not believe in any celestial induction, does not believe in superstition, but others believe that the power of heaven is unpredictable in the Ming Dynasty, it is not so simple to say, using weather anomalies as a weapon to attack opponents, but it is a fair and honest means.

"Big companion, summon the cabinet ministers Jiuqing and other Wenhua Hall discussions." Yang Reform's face was very gloomy, and he said with an angry face, Yang Reform calculated everything, but he didn't expect that God would give him such a play, and it would be so dark during the day.

“…… Your Majesty ......, and the slave and maid obeyed the order, "Wang Chengen wanted to persuade the emperor to see the emperor, and when he saw the emperor's face was very bad, he stopped.

"Wait, it's better to summon Tian Hongyu to see me, and the ministers will be gone." Yang Reform thought about it, but changed his words, this matter, seeing the ministers may not be as useful as seeing Tian Hongyu.

Yang was very angry about reform.

"Obey the order, the slave and maid will do it." Wang Chengen agreed in surprise.

When I entered the house, I couldn't see God's "face", and Yang Gai's mood was better again. However, seeing the lamps and candles lit on the table, Yang Reform was very depressed, this God really can't see that he has a good life for half a day, and he has no head and no face to throw himself such a face on such an important day, which has dealt a heavy blow to the confidence of the people of the world in himself, and the prestige and confidence that Yang Reform has worked so hard to accumulate have really smashed a lot of this time.

Not long after, Tian Hongyu had already arrived.

"Your Majesty, the national abbot Tian Hong has met me, but I want to see you." Wang Chengenyu reports.

"See," Yang said immediately.

To tell the truth, Tian Hongyu is very worried today, such an important day, encountering such weather, the emperor's mood can be imagined, but the emperor wants to see him first, he doesn't know whether he is favored or unlucky.

"Your Majesty," said the abbot Tian Hongyu cautiously.

"No courtesy ......" Yang reform has returned to calm. The emperor who has been an emperor for so long is no longer a novice, and he knows that everything pays attention to a trend, and he can't "go against the sky", since God throws himself so face, then, he should not do it against God, and he can only conform to God's "meaning", and only in this way can things go smoothly. Yang Reform wanted to find the ministers to vent and scold him fiercely, but thinking about it, it is better to find Tian Hongyu, this matter, maybe it can be done without having to talk to the ministers, today's weather, maybe not a bad thing, even if it is a bad thing, it must turn him into a good thing.

"Your Majesty Xie" Tian Hongyu raised his head to look at the emperor this time. Seeing that the emperor's face was calm, his heart calmed down slightly.

"Now the whole city is wearing cotton clothes made by the Qing family, and the Qing family has worked hard...... Yang Gai said with a smile.

"The minister doesn't dare to be a ......" Guozhang Tian Hongyu was a little confused, and a little scared.

"I received a report, although some people have frozen to death this year, but compared with previous years, it is much better, not to mention, there are hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the capital, it is even more commendable to be able to do this, and the Qing family has really done a good job in wearing warmth." Yang Reform smiled and praised Tian Hongyu, Yang Reform already knew clearly enough, Yang Reform didn't dare to say it in other places, and he didn't dare to say it or be sure, but in the capital and its vicinity, Yang Reform still dared to say that he was absolutely sure. …,

"The minister is frightened, he didn't complete the things that His Majesty explained well, it is really a negative grace, and the minister should ......die," the national abbot Tian Hongyu was frightened, thinking that the emperor was blaming him, and immediately admitted his mistake to the emperor.

"Hehehe, there, I am telling the truth, in this matter, the Qing family has indeed done a good job, although it is not full credit, but the credit is the merit, the flaws are not concealed, the Qing family still deserves my praise......" Yang reformed and said. To be honest, although Yang Reform has not solved this matter perfectly, but if you think about it carefully, it is really difficult to achieve perfection in this matter, and it is very rare to be able to achieve this situation, and Yang Reform's blocked heart has also been released.

“…… This, His Majesty Xie praised ...... "Guozhang Tian Hong met this apprehensive thanksgiving."

"However, this matter is just the beginning, and the Qing family has more important things to do." Yang Reform said again.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to instruct ......" Tian Hongyu said with some trepidation, hearing the emperor say that someone was freezing to death, Tian Hongyu's heart rose to his throat, and he was a little relieved when he heard that the emperor was not bothering him in this matter.

"The Qing family can immediately recruit people who farm and work in Liaodong on a large scale......," Yang said. Originally, this matter, Yang Reform was going to talk about it after a while, however, when encountering such a bad omen on the first day of the New Year, Yang Reform felt that he had to do it, otherwise, this matter would ferment for a few more days, and he was afraid that it would be even more unfavorable to himself, and he must immediately start the recruitment tide in Liaodong, and in terms of momentum, it will cause an unstoppable momentum in the development of Liaodong, forcing others to follow up and have no time to think about it.

"Your Majesty, is this too early?" Guozhang Tian Hongyu heard that this was the case, and breathed a sigh of relief, this matter, he actually knew it for a long time, and the emperor had already told him that the development of Liaodong must need workers, and recruitment is also necessary, but it is not the first day of the first month of the first month, the second day of the first month to recruit workers, at least until the Lantern Festival has passed, this sea has not yet thawed, and now I heard that it is going to be recruited in advance, Tian Hongyu is a little confused.

"It's not early, I won't recruit now, when will I recruit it?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Back to Your Majesty, why don't you wait until the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival to recruit it, it's too early, the sea hasn't thawed yet, you can't get by, and if you recruit it, it's a vain summon......" Tian Hongyu explained.

"No, you go back today and start preparing immediately, I want to see the scene of large-scale recruitment in the city tomorrow, the Qing family recruits, just recruit, don't have restrictions, as long as you have the strength and are willing to endure hardships, don't ......" Yang Gai said.

"Your Majesty, this ......" Tian Hongyu was a little puzzled.

"Don't you understand? Most of the hundreds of thousands of people gathered around the capital today only worked until the end of last year, and if there were no new guys to do, what would these people eat? What to wear? Aren't you going to be a homeless? Have you ever thought about the consequences of hundreds of thousands of displaced people gathering in the capital? Yang Gai said. In fact, the situation may not be as bad as Yang Reform said, but now God has thrown his face, Yang Reform has no choice, he can only go with the sky, he can only say that the situation is worse, and he can only immediately start the recruitment tide in Liaodong, so that everyone has to follow up.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands, the minister understands" Tian Hongyu immediately said. Listening to the emperor say this, he figured it out, he said that he was doing business, but in fact it was a hand of the emperor, and the emperor did something through him that the court could not do, such as this kind of sweet potato, although the court spent a lot of effort to do this, but the result was unsatisfactory, basically perfunctory, far from achieving the effect that the emperor wanted, it was better for him to do business to promote sweet potatoes, much better than the court to do things, and now the Ming Dynasty does not grow sweet potatoes in that corner? Speaking of which, it's all his function.

"Well, it's good to understand, after I go back, start acting immediately, I have one request for this matter, that is, overwhelming ......, understand?". Yang Gai said.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands, Your Majesty can rest assured, the minister will do so." Tian Hongyu immediately said with confidence, this matter is really difficult for him, he has been prepared for this matter for a long time, and now he is just advancing the recruitment time, why is it difficult? It's just to give the shopkeepers more rewards, and I'm afraid that they won't do anything?

"Well, it's good to understand, the Qing family will do it, quickly, in addition, the matter of cotton clothes, I gave the Qing family a guideline, and the Qing family will follow it......" Yang Reform thought about it and said again. …,

"Dare to ask Your Majesty what he is preparing for, and the minister will definitely do it." Tian Hongyu immediately agreed.

"When it comes to cotton clothes, there is only one criterion, just to sell more, not to make money...... Yang Gai said.

"This ......" Tian Hongyu was confused again, the emperor would not think about those ordinary people to this extent, right? Many words are said to be too good to the common people, but in fact, he is making a loss-making business, hasn't the emperor never made a loss-making business?

"The Qing family will do it intuitively, don't ask anything else, you will understand what I mean in the future......" Yang said.

"Minister's Order" Tian Hongyu didn't understand it and immediately agreed, anyway, whether he is this time or money, it is all the emperor's, how the emperor wants to play, that is the emperor's business, he can't control it.

Hurriedly summoned Tian Hongyu, hurriedly explained, Tian Hongyu left in a hurry, in the warm pavilion, there were still candles, it seemed as if it had arrived in the evening, but in fact, it was noon.

"Big companion, today is the first day of the first lunar month, I am inconvenient to go out of the palace, I bother you to go for a trip in person, go to Liulizhai, let Liniang immediately start the recruitment of workers in Liaodong, to recruit workers on a large scale, the momentum must be big, and it must be overwhelming, understand?" Yang Reform and prudently explained to Wang Chengen.

"Your Majesty, it is natural for a slave and maid to serve Your Majesty, and I dare not suffer from this word of labor, so the slave and maid will go, Your Majesty's meaning, the slave and maid understand." Wang Chengen immediately said with a straight face, he is the emperor's henchman, the head of the inner court, and follows the emperor all day long, what does the emperor mean by this, he naturally understands that now on this unfortunate day, he has to light candles at noon, which is really bad enough, the emperor must act in advance, otherwise, it will change later, and he doesn't know what trouble will happen.

Seeing that Wang Chengen went out to do errands, Yang Gai breathed a sigh of relief, this time God really made a joke on himself, the first day of the first month was a big day for himself to ascend to the emperor's palace to accept the congratulations of the ministers, which has a strong symbolic significance, and he threw himself such a face, which is really embarrassing for himself, and fortunately he has a lot of resources in his hands, and he can urgently use various resources to make up for the accident, otherwise, the matter of Liaodong is so stirred, it must be yellow.

"Click...... Boom ......"

After arranging all this, Yang Reform was relieved. On this day, it was as if there was really a celestial induction, and without warning, a few thunderbolts were slashed, which startled Yang Gai, who had never believed in strange powers.

Seeing that the dim world was instantly lit up by this thunder, Yang Reform kept hinting to himself that what he had done was definitely like this thunder splitting this dim world.

……

Looking at this dim sky, Yang Reform involuntarily looked at Kunning Palace to go, in the past, Yang Reform looked at Kunning Palace to see his son, today is actually just noon, but it is the weather, it becomes like the evening, Yang Reform involuntarily went to Kunning Palace.

Kunning Palace was also lit with lights and candles, as if evening had really come. Hearing the news of the emperor's arrival, they all came out to greet him.

"It's all forgiven." Yang Gai said as usual, but in the past it was evening, but now, this scene happened at noon.

"Your Majesty" Queen Zhou Wan'er also came to greet her.

"Wan'er......" Yang said.

"Your Majesty......" Empress Zhou Wan'er was obviously very surprised by such a bad weather on such an important day today, for fear that the emperor would get angry, and seeing that the emperor seemed to have a good complexion, her heart was slightly relaxed.

"Where's Cihong?" Yang asked Gengai.

“…… Here it is. Queen Zhou Wan'er took Zhu Cihong from the nurse's hand, and then handed it to Yang Reform.

Yang Reform took the child in Zhou Wan'er's hand, hugged it in his arms with full of fatherly love, and watched the child jumping around in his arms, with big black eyes, Yang Reform felt extraordinarily warm.

"Wan'er, Cihong is almost a year old." Yang asked Gengai.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's almost a year old, Your Majesty ......" Empress Zhou Wan'er was a little surprised, the emperor asked why is this?

"Yes, I'm almost a year old, and I'm supposed to be the crown prince......" Yang Gai looked at the big black eyes in his arms and said.

“…… Your Majesty ......, "Queen Zhou Wan'er listened to it, and set up the crown prince?" ...... eyes moistened,
