Chapter 163: Yang He enters the cabinet

Another important factor in Yang He's skyrocketing fame is that he made a large amount of silver for people to return to Beijing to do some money, in this era when the emperor has no money and is worried, this trick can be described as a big killer, and it will make the powerful people in the DPRK and China have a good impression of Yang He, and more importantly, this also proves from the side that the great victory in northern Shaanxi is indeed conclusive, and everyone sings an ode to Yang He and has less worry about slapping his face in the future. Just kidding, he is not Tao Zhu Deng Tong, and he can't spend gold and urine silver, if he didn't really defeat the thieves and make a lot of money, how could he have this kindness to share profits with everyone?

Speaking of which, the job of fighting a war has been a sea of gold and silver since ancient times, but it also has to be fucking capable of earning it! The Ming Dynasty fought with the Dongyu in Liaodong for so many years, how many people died, and the guerrilla above the name of the general cut a lot, some were cut by the Dongyu, and some were cut by their own people after defeating the battle, although there were many Liaoyu, there were few who could really earn silver!

This Yang He is really a capable person, the scholar leads the army, it is still the first formation, he can make so many Qiu Ba, and he can do things beautifully without making a sound, and the money is not much spent, a few people have not died, and a famous general with a surname has killed a guard commander! Of course, this responsibility can't be counted on Lao Yang's head, everyone knows very well what kind of soldiers are in their hearts, so how can they be counted as soldiers, they are simply a bunch of flowers!

Not surprisingly, under such public opinion of the government and the opposition, Yang He is the number one in the list of cabinet candidates to be newly elected to the cabinet! Originally, it was planned to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he entered the cabinet with the title of scholar of the East Pavilion University, and Emperor Chongzhen waved his pen and changed the East Pavilion to Wenyuan Pavilion!

Anyway, this change is not trivial. Because the latter has a much higher gold content than the former!

The Ming Dynasty abolished the position of prime minister after Lao Zhu cut down Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, and made a cabinet responsibility system, and the cabinet members were called cabinet elders by the government and the opposition, and they were all regarded as ministers.

The so-called "cabinet weight first auxiliary". Although these brothers are all auxiliary ministers. Strictly speaking, they are all prime ministers, but they are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the most bullish one is naturally the one with the title of Wuyingdian University Scholar, also known as the first assistant of the cabinet. Ordinary cabinet members and newcomers are generally given the title of East Court Scholar. As for the one with the title of Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholar. Usually the status and qualifications are second only to the first assistant, that is what everyone usually calls the cabinet secondary!

When Yang He first entered the cabinet, he directly skipped the East Pavilion University Scholar and directly hung up the title of Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholar. It's just one step away from Shousuke, and all of a sudden it overtakes and goes around in front of several other bigwigs in the cabinet, with this momentum, it's only a matter of time before it goes any further, which shows the glory of its holy family!

The news from the palace is said to have made this decision after reading a secret fold submitted by Yang He, which makes people wonder what Lao Yang said on the fold, which made His Majesty so happy!

If Yang He was promoted to the cabinet as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, it was because of his qualifications and popularity, and then Emperor Chongzhen changed his false title of the Ministry of Rites to the actual position of the Ministry of War, which couldn't help but make people lose their glasses!

Although this situation rarely happens, and it generally requires a special decree of the emperor, it is not completely without precedent, and it can be seen from this alone that there are high hopes for Yang He today!

Wu Weizi didn't know anything about what was happening in Beijing, which was also the consequence of the lack of intelligence agencies, but Yang He's entry into the cabinet couldn't be said to be the biggest contributor to him, and in that secret compromise, the names and surnames of Li Chong and the two of them were also mentioned!

Speaking of which, Yang He can operate in Beijing like Xu Cai, and Wu Wei's strong support is inseparable, just from the "two kings" of the thieves Yang He has divided more than 100,000 taels of silver, plus from 100,000 taels of silver, a lot of extra accounts, one in and one out, the trilateral governor of northern Shaanxi has received nearly 200,000 taels! Needless to say, the latter also has to be attributed to Wu Wei, if it weren't for his efforts to provide disaster relief, and to carry forward the high wind and bright festival in the distribution of spoils, it is not enough for Lord Yang to fill the holes with this bit of silver, where else to think about!

Coupled with what he saw and heard in Ansai, Lord Yang, who prides himself on worrying about state affairs, can't help but have a good impression of Wu Wei, and has the intention of encompassing and promoting, and Wu Wei is also lacking the help of the DPRK and China, the two sides hit it off, and can't help but sympathize with each other, whether it is a New Year's gift or a marriage, Wu Wei has not forgotten to strengthen the contact with Yang He, and on the envelope is a few big words that make him feel numb and want to vomit, "Mu En is small under the door", as if he is the confidant of the governor. There is no way, this is also what Li Chong, who has been in officialdom for a long time, strongly asked him to write like this, and the old man is now very concerned about his son-in-law's future!

In addition to the abundance of filial piety during the New Year, what made Yang He value Wu Wei more was the various suggestions for current politics that he put forward in his letters. In it, Wu Wei introduced a lot of his own development ideas, development process and related measures in Ansai, although it is still only a scaly claw, but it is beyond the insight of this era, and a great expert like Yang He can see the extraordinary at a glance. In particular, some of these words, such as "solving the problem of food and clothing for the masses, is the top priority of the current work" and "science and technology are the primary productive forces" are even more refreshing!

Yang He has long put forward the idea of "cultivating the vitality of the small people", and the three major laborers in the last years of Wanli have shaken off the little old foundation that the Ming Dynasty had saved when Zhang Juzheng was in power. After the Battle of Salhu, Liao affairs flourished, and the imperial court increased taxes and looted for it, which increased the heavy burden on the people, coupled with the attack of the Xiaoice River, the temperature dropped, and the drought locusts continued every year, and the small people were already greatly injured!

Where do the soldiers come from, where do the salaries come from, and there are so many dignitaries and dignitaries and royal clans who talk about luxurious pomp and luxury, and they want to live a luxurious life, all of which are taken from the people without exception! And even if the small people are covered in iron, they can beat a few catties of nails!

Over the years, the phenomenon of civil fatigue has been very obvious, and the fact that taxes cannot be collected in full every year is the best proof, and the arrears have not been paid, new taxes have been born, and corrupt officials have slipped their hands again, which has gradually caused the people to be unbearable!

If we don't pay attention to the development of production and improve the people's livelihood, and just blindly levy and increase distribution, even if we pacify a northern Shaanxi today, it is impossible to say that one day there will be a northern Shanxi and northern Jiangsu.

Therefore, Yang He shouted as soon as Chongzhen ascended the throne to "cultivate the vitality of the small people", although Chongzhen agreed, but due to the limitations of his knowledge, he could not come up with any specific good methods. And Wu Wei not only coincided with his ideas, but also put forward specific suggestions to make up for his shortcomings, said a lot of things he wanted to say but couldn't say, and put forward many methods that he wanted to mention but couldn't, and every word scratched his itch!

What's even better is that Wu Wei is extremely knowledgeable and interesting, not only is he not proud of his achievements, but also attributes these ideas and measures to Yang He, saying that he is practicing under the inspiration of his ideas, and every qiē is the credit of the governor, God is pitiful, Yang He himself does not know that the six words "cultivating the vitality of the small people" can still give birth to so many great truths!

But this did not prevent him from laughing at Wu Wei's kindness, and in Xiang Chongzhen's recital, he gently attributed the credit for many changes in Ansai and even northern Shaanxi to his own name, intentionally or unintentionally, but he did not take advantage of Wu Wei in vain, according to the rules of officialdom, he repaid Li Chongwu, and re-mentioned Li Chongwu as the two of them in the discussion of meritorious personnel!
