Open the Yellow River, the Jing River embankment, and irrigate the fields.

Yang Gai felt that this thing was really good, this was much simpler than the one who immigrated to Dongting Lake, and the most important thing, this, there is a precedent, and it has been done, it only needs to expand the scale, it is much simpler than immigrating to Dongting Lake.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't you have any opinions?" Yang Gengai decided to cut through the mess quickly, this matter is worth doing, so let's do it.

Courtiers, look at me, I look at you, no one has raised any objections to this matter, if there is no Xu Guangqi's migration of millions of immigrants to the south, then, this small immigrant, the proposal to open the Yellow River and the Jing River embankment to irrigate the fields, it is worth saying, this small immigrant, maybe will send a Qin messenger down, it is worth fighting, but now there is no point, the errand of the million immigrants in front of him is too fat, and this small immigrant of tens of thousands of people is really not powerful.

"It's good if there are no opinions, then, this matter will be decided, and the overall plan for disaster relief and resettlement will be finalized in the future, and it will be combined and dealt with." Yang Gai dealt with the matter quickly.

The ministers didn't have any opinions, and the matter passed like this.

"Okay, is there anything wrong with that Qing's family?" Yang Gai felt very annoyed, this has not yet reached the coinage right, now, it is time to the coinage right, he has a lot of things, and he still expects this coinage right to make some money to do it.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to report."

"What's the matter, say!"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Your Majesty will change the yuan to ascend the throne, and according to the rules, it is necessary to mint new money, so as to inform the people of the world and let all the people know Your Majesty's kindness. The minister finally said what Yang Gai wanted to hear.

Yang Reform was overjoyed, pretending to be indifferent on the surface, and said, "Everyone, let's talk about it." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Majesty will ascend the throne and change the yuan, and the new emperor should have a new atmosphere and mint new money, which is a matter of course, and it should indeed be, and the minister agrees." Shi Fenglai was the first to stand up for the emperor.

Many other ministers also nodded, this is indeed a great right of the new emperor, and this is hardly worth discussing.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks, now all over the private casting, the wind of random casting is very strong, the inverted copper coin is rough and rotten, the people complain, the minister thinks, this seriously corrupts the outline of the imperial court, corrupts the prestige of the court, the minister thinks, should be strictly rectified, completely restore the prestige of our dynasty coins, now is the time for Your Majesty to mint new money, the minister thinks, it is time to rectify it, but also to solve the pain of my Ming people." A minister also stood up and told the chaos of coinage in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, hoping to use the emperor's issuance of new coins to completely solve it.

"Your Majesty, the ministers also approve, I think that over the years, Wei has been rampant, rotten and indiscriminate, resulting in the corruption of the coinage, which cannot be cleaned up, and it is all endured by Your Majesty,...... Wei obeys the law, it is time to clean up the source and return justice to the people of the world. "A minister came out to say something, and blamed Wei Zhongxian for the problem of rotten coins.

Now, when it comes to Wei Zhongxian, the people in the court can't stop, this Wei Zhongxian has hurt a lot of people, and now, many people have been reinstated and returned to the court, and they hate Wei Zhongxian's party to the core, and when they saw someone mention Wei Zhongxian, they were also indignant, and came out to scold a few words. Above this court, there are still many people who have something to do with Wei Zhongxian, and they should have stepped down, but in order to balance the court situation, Yang Reform specially left a lot of them, and these people scolded them even more loudly in order to clear up their relationship with Wei Zhongxian.

In a few clicks, this coinage chaos became the cause of the Wei Party, and it became a rat crossing the street, everyone shouted and beaten, Yang Reform looked at it and felt funny, this matter is too easy, right, so many people are trusted?

"In that case, this coinage matter is indeed a matter of great importance, and it is urgent to clean up the source and urgently need to be rectified, then...... This coinage is the responsibility of that yamen? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the matter of coinage is the responsibility of the Ministry of Households, and there is the Baoquan Bureau under the Ministry of Households, which specializes in coinage, and the provinces have money bureaus, which can be minted." Tobe Shoshu stepped forward and answered the question.

"Since the Ministry of Household is under the jurisdiction and the Baoquan Bureau is responsible, then, the Baoquan Bureau will come up with a rectification method, and the Ministry of Household will review and submit it to me, this matter should be as soon as possible, I hope to see a solution as soon as possible. Do you understand? All provinces have mints? That's too much, right? No wonder this coin is so rough and rotten now, and the people are complaining, this, the household department, and the Baoquan Bureau have to think of a way, understand? "Yang reformed the trend, so the matter of coinage and coinage rights was preliminarily completed, and the next step was to prepare for the issuance of silver coins.

"Your Ministers obey." Tobe Shangshu agreed.

The matter of coinage has finally come to an end, and Yang Reform breathed a sigh of relief, and the next court affairs will not be focused, some trivial things.

After going down to the court, Yang Reform said to Wang Chengen: "Companion, go and invite the two masters to the Wenhua Palace, and Bi Ziyan." "Today's events are really bad, this didn't talk to himself in advance, Xu Guangqi made such a big plan.

After a while, the three of Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, and Bi Ziyan came to the Wenhua Palace.

Yang Reform also just sat down.

After the three of them saluted.

Yang Gai couldn't wait to ask, "Master Xu, for such a big matter, why don't you talk to me!" I'm really passive. ”

Xu Guangqi also looked helpless, and explained: "Returning to Your Majesty, it is not that the ministers do not report to Your Majesty in advance, there is really no sign in advance!" The minister doesn't know, why someone proposed to come to disaster relief in advance, this, the minister is also very helpless, the minister's disaster relief immigration policy, there are still many imperfect places, the minister originally planned to wait for His Majesty's coinage right to understand, and then report this matter to His Majesty, where I know, someone proposed to give disaster relief in advance, and the minister was also caught off guard! Xu Guangqi looked aggrieved.

"Ahh Didn't Master Xu ask for this to do it? Yang Reform said sharply, Yang Reform always thought that this matter was done by Xu Guangqi, and now, Yang Reform wondered, who is so lacking in morality, it's okay to poke the basket!

Xu Guangqi was very ashamed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has no intention of talking about this matter now!" The minister originally planned to wait for His Majesty's minting to be recovered, and then tell His Majesty about the immigration disaster relief, because the minister found that with twenty taels of silver and twenty silver coins, a lot of money can be saved, so the minister felt that it was better to wait for His Majesty's minting to be completed before discussing this matter with His Majesty, where I knew ...... "Xu Guangqi is quite aggrieved, this is really being disturbed, this originally, Xu Guangqi wanted to wait for the emperor's coinage to be completed, and then directly use the emperor's silver coins as the cost of resettlement, so, The placement fee of 20 taels of silver alone can save a lot.

When Yang Reform heard it, it made sense, that's right, this matter should indeed be arranged after the coinage, and it can indeed save a lot of money, so who mentioned this matter in the court today? Coincidental?

Sun Chengzong opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is just a coincidence, I am afraid that someone has received reports from all over the country and thinks that the matter is urgent, and it is also kind, not sincerely bad for Your Majesty." ”

Yang Gengai thought about it and felt that this incident might really be a coincidence.

Although Xu Guangqi was shocked in the court today, creating the first fat difference of the Chongzhen Dynasty for the imperial court, he was also extremely unhappy in his heart, and there were countless grievances to vomit, and said: "...... Your Majesty, after the disaster relief is minted in silver coins, all the silver will be minted into silver coins, which can save 10% of the cost, and the minister originally planned to spend 10 million, but if all silver coins are used, it will only cost 9 million, so the minister thinks that this coinage should be stepped up......"

Xu Guangqi vomited out the grievances in his stomach through this statement, this obvious coinage priority over disaster relief, because if this disaster relief uses silver coins, this silver coin can save one percent of the money, and it is impossible for him to let go of this opportunity, and once again reiterated from the side that he did not find the trust in the court to propose disaster relief in advance, this matter, involving his own impression in the emperor's mind, had to be reiterated repeatedly.

Yang Reform nodded, the use of silver coins for disaster relief, indeed, can save one percent of silver, this kind of good thing, Xu Guangqi will not let it go, so, who did this matter of disaster relief in advance in the court? Embarrassed and depressed?

Sun Chengzong said: "Your Majesty, since this early disaster relief is a foregone conclusion, then, the minister thinks, it is better to think about how to provide disaster relief in advance." Sun Chengzong came out to play a round again, this disaster relief in advance made a little estranged between the emperor and Xu Guangqi, Sun Chengzong decided to dispel this estrangement, Xu Guangqi did things for people, Sun Chengzong still looked at it.

"Well, indeed, it's time to discuss how to immigrate and provide disaster relief, this is ahead of schedule, and it's just right, otherwise, if it's too late, I'm afraid that this holy mission will be delayed too much time on the road, and it will be bad if it can't catch up with the disaster relief." The key to discussion now is the issue of resettlement and disaster relief, which involves too much and too much, and Yang Reform has not yet considered it as a whole.

"Your Majesty, you won't be unable to catch up, didn't Your Majesty let your ministers prepare in advance? The minister has already entrusted people to spend tens of thousands of taels in Jiangnan to reserve a lot of grain, and this, as long as His Majesty orders it, the grain ordered by the minister can be used as the first batch of disaster relief grain and transported to Shaanxi. Xu Guangqi said.

"Well, that's good, this, I'm not worried, I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch up with the disaster relief, now that I have Master Xu, I will feel much more at ease." Yang reformed the nobles and forgot a lot about things, and forgot all about the things he had asked Xu Guangqi to prepare food in advance.

“…… Now that Master Xu has booked, let's get lucky. Now in mid-May, the Holy Decree quickly whipped to the south to give an order, and then mobilized grain to Shaanxi, which took a long time, and the grain harvest was in June, a month and a half, barely able to catch up. Yang was very anxious about reform. I can't wait for the grain in Jiangnan to be shipped immediately.

“…… Your Majesty, the grain ordered by the minister was only paid a deposit, which, if it is to extract grain, I am afraid that it will ......" Xu Guangqi said carefully.

Yang Gai lamented, asking for money! A penny is hard to beat a hero, no money, even if it is an emperor, don't think about doing anything, eat pickles when you should eat pickles, and drink porridge when you should drink porridge. The emperor is rich all over the world, theoretically the whole world belongs to the emperor, but he needs money to buy food, this, I have to say, who is so irresponsible to fool the emperor, this obvious reason cannot be explained.

"How much does it cost?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Back to Your Majesty, some of the ministers gave a deposit of 30%, and some gave less, only 10%, which adds up, I am afraid that it will take hundreds of thousands of silver...... Xu Guangqi said in a low voice.

"Then give the silver......" Yang Reform didn't think about anything, and said directly, this concept of buying things and giving money, has long been deeply rooted in Yang Reform's heart, Yang Reform does not expect his holy decree, there will be countless grains in the world automatically sent to Shaanxi, that is unrealistic, the emperor has no silver, can not pay wages, can not pay military salaries, should be hanged in the coal mountain.

"Your Majesty, now this batch, the ministers are scheduled to meet with silver, but after this, a huge amount of payment, I am afraid that I will have to make this silver coin as soon as possible! Otherwise, pay all in silver or with a silver ticket, for fear that it will cost more. Xu Guangqi was very worried, how can he use silver coins, a silver coin saves one percent of silver, this account, no matter how it is calculated, it is cost-effective, but unfortunately, this first batch of grain is not able to catch up with the use of silver coins. Otherwise, you can save tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"Alas...... Oh, yes! I also knew that I should have pushed out this silver coin and forbade the direct circulation of silver, but after all, far water can't save the near fire! ...... "Yang Reform also knows that it will be much cheaper to pay with silver coins, but I am afraid that this first batch of grain will not be able to catch up!" There is no way but to lament.

"By the way, Master Xu, does Master Xu have a specific candidate for this immigration plan? When the time comes, how will it be executed? This involves millions of people, several provinces, dozens of hundreds of states and counties, and there are fewer people who carry it out, so I'm afraid it won't work! "Yang Reform is most worried about this, this kind of project, without a reliable implementation team, how to implement? I am afraid that I will not be able to get out of the household, and I will be divided up.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is willing to take on this heavy responsibility......" Xu Guangqi was ready to do this by himself.

Yang Reform listened to what Xu Guangqi said, but he was silent, and Yang Reform didn't know what reason to use to keep the drafter of this immigration plan by his side and not let him do it.

“…… The minister's idea was to send the prisoners of the Guozijian to the same as the Taizu immigrants back then, or to recruit students from local county schools, state schools and other schools, so that he could organize and implement such a huge plan. Xu Guangqi briefly introduced his thoughts.

The prisoner of the country? Students around the school? This, Yang Reform hesitated, but also depressed, there are a lot of prisoners in this country, now I am afraid that it has been more than a thousand, organize them to go through the ...... in advance, this, theoretically, is feasible, it can indeed solve the problem of lack of manpower, but the problem also comes, the original prisoners of the Guozijian, but one hundred and ten people, fewer are qualified to go through the work, more are the guys who borrowed usury in the past few days, if they borrow usury on this day, they can go out the next day...... This...... Yang Reform himself thinks that this is too naked, and this is not how he sells official porridge! I have to study in Guozi for a few days.

Seeing the melancholy on the emperor's face, Xu Guangqi said: "Your Majesty, but I'm worried that the prisoners have just entered the prison, and some people will gossip about the court?" ”

Yang Reform nodded, isn't it obvious? The first day only paid the money to go to prison, and the next day you can go to the calendar, isn't it obvious to buy officials with money? Who wouldn't say that!

“…… Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this matter, most of the new eunuchs are from the people's background, they are eunuchs, and they can be officials themselves, such as today's disaster, the court wants to save thousands of people from fire and water, it is the countless merits and good governance of the living, and it should be when it is time to serve the court, which is no problem at all. Xu Guangqi expressed his opinion again, this matter, it depends on what you think, do you think that this day with silver in prison, the next day can go through the matter, this is the naked act of selling officials, but you look at it from a different angle, this court saves millions of people, it is of great significance, not to mention that others themselves are meritorious and famous, even if they become officials immediately, there is nothing to say.

was explained by Xu Guangqi like this, and the depression in Yang Gai's heart was much better.

Sun Chengzong added another fire to Yang Reform and said: "Your Majesty, in extraordinary times, you should do extraordinary things, and you can save the people from fire and water, which is better than anything else." In this matter, it is advisable to make a decision immediately. ”

"Yes, the two masters have a point, I understand, that's it, summon the prisoners of the Guozi Prison, go through the matter in advance, what kind of treatment is it when you go through this calendar? For example, how many grades of official treatment should you give? Yang Reform made up his mind, and now, he can only do this, otherwise, where to find thousands of educated people?

“…… Back to Your Majesty, as for the treatment, the history of the prisoners in the early years was all unofficial, just sent, and only after the completion of the calendar, they would be awarded official positions. Xu Guangqi explained.

"No grade? I thought, is it possible to give the prisoners of the past a nine-grade official treatment or something, pay attention, it is just treatment, and there is no substantive official position, so it can make the prisoners work harder, what does Master Xu think? Yang Reform knows this history, roughly with the later generations of temporary training, this 21st century official training, itself has a level, such as enjoying such and such treatment or something, Yang Reform is also ready to learn to paint a scoop, to enjoy such and such treatment.

“…… Enjoy the treatment of Jiupin Official? "Xu Guangqi, Sun Chengzong, and Bi Ziyan are all inexplicable, and they don't know why the emperor came up with this trick.

After a while, Xu Guangqi said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is impossible, this official is an official, once Your Majesty opens his mouth and gives these historical students the treatment of nine-grade officials, these historical students will definitely be slack, and furthermore, once this is an official, the future affairs are not qualified, wouldn't it be necessary to take back the official goods?" Your Majesty, the rules of this calendar have always been only sent, and those who are qualified in the calendar will be awarded officials, so that all the calendars will be born and work with peace of mind...... "Xu Guangqi is against the emperor's idea, if so, the Ming Dynasty will have thousands of official positions at once, and even thousands of nine-rank officials, how can this be done?" The reputation of this court traitor is completely confirmed, of course, I didn't dare to tell the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that this law is inappropriate." Sun Chengzong also objected, this matter, it is really impossible to open his mouth, wholesale thousands of Jiupin officials, this history book, probably will write a few of them as a typical example of selling officials, and become "celebrities" in history, Sun Chengzong does not want to enjoy this treatment.

Bi Ziyan also saw the fame and said: "Your Majesty, you must not, you must not break the rules, it is better to follow the old rules." "Bi Ziyan is also afraid! It's better not to live with the matter of thousands of official hats in batches, otherwise, if you know about it to those imperial historians, you are afraid that it will be over.
