The front hall of the Hou Mansion was quiet, and Li Dongyang, an old minister of the Four Dynasties, felt a lot of emotion.

From the death of Emperor Hongzhi to the present, more than two years, Li Dongyang has been struggling to support the court for more than two years, an old man who has run out of oil and lamps, trying his best to hold the building that is about to fall, in order not to let the Zhongxing situation that has been created collapse halfway, he had to accompany the right eunuch with a smiling face, bend down his originally straight waist, and he even wrote a congratulatory message in a sycophant tone when the right eunuch passed his birthday......

Colleagues didn't understand, Liu Jian Xie Qian's eyes when he left still couldn't forgive, saving countless important ministers and imperial historians who were about to die under the eunuch, but all he received was countless white eyes and ridicule, and even his own student Luo Xi was not ashamed of the teacher's personality, and cut off the teacher-student relationship with him in public......

Li Dongyang is lonely, he silently serves this stormy country in his own way in loneliness, he is very hard, but he is not afraid of hardship, he is afraid of the loneliness of being isolated and helpless.

Today, Qin Kan's short two words "strong country" finally made Li Dongyang burst into tears.

These two words are not the wild words of sour Confucian scholars with great ambitions and talents, nor are they the slogans on the lips of those who are vegetarians in the court, Li Dongyang really saw this young man put the word "strong country" into action.

Launched the cabinet meeting, relocated the displaced people, built Tianjin, and broke the ancestral system to open the sea...... This young man has such big ambitions!

And he, Li Dongyang, is also running and begging to save the ministers and leave a seed to rule the world.

Different paths lead to the same end, and everyone has different ways. However, the purpose is the same, they all want to make this Han dynasty strong.

Li Dongyang suppressed the mixed thoughts, stared at Qin Kan with complicated eyes, for a long time, and sighed: "Opening the sea ban is a big deal, if you want to open the sea ban, you must first find a breakthrough to open it, you chose Tianjin, the idea is correct, but to prosper Tianjin, there must be a decree of the imperial court." The decree does not work. The old man can submit it to the cabinet for discussion, but you should know that the cabinet only has the power to vote. There is no right to decide. The decision is in the hands of the celebrant and the celebrant. Of course, the support of His Majesty is also indispensable. ”

Qin Kan smiled: "I know this way, so I will come step by step." The Cabinet is the first step......"

Li Dongyang stared at him, and suddenly smiled for a while: "Little fox, you've been waiting for the old man for a long time, right?" Zhilu Dao The old man ran up and down to save Yang Yiqing, and you are here to blackmail the old man on the condition of the court discussion? ”

Qin Kan was also calm, and said with a smile when he heard this: "Compared with the last time you burned your house, doesn't Mr. Xiya feel that this time you feel cold, like a spring breeze?" ”

Li Dongyang smiled, and then said goodbye to Qin Kan.

Tonight was worth the trip, until Li Dongyang got on the official sedan chair, and still saw Qin Kan standing at the door with a warm smile on his face, Li Dongyang sighed with satisfaction.

A hundred years later, the famous ministers of the Qing History Institute are not just one Yang Yiqing?

*****************************************************************

The old fox and the little fox reached a tacit understanding, and the rest of the things were naturally completed by the two of them working together.

Yang Yiqing wants to be saved, Tianjin also wants to be built, the two of them have divided their own work, Li Dongyang has talked about countless political transactions in his life, and this time he is the happiest.

In the end, he is an old fox who has been in the court for many years, and in his heart, Li Dongyang is much more spicy than Qin Kan.

He did not directly raise the discussion in the cabinet, and he did not mention a word about the construction of Tianjin, as if he had never heard of it.

The next morning, when Zhu Houzhao was yawning on the dragon chair for a long time and listening to the ministers perform state affairs, a supervisor named Yao Xiang stood up and told Zhu Houzhao about the current situation of the Beijing Division.

Zhengde first year household officials did a census, the Ming Jingshi now has 62,000 households, the population of 260,000, if you count the 12 regiments and battalions, the imperial horse supervisor and the Beijing division around the Yanshan three guards, Daxingwei, Yongqingwei, Miyunwei and other thirteen guards garrison, the total population is more than 500,000, the daily Cao River into Chaoyangmen of the Cao grain totals 5,000 stones, slightly insufficient, once there is an unpredictable natural and man-made disaster, the Beijing division is in danger of lack of food.

Zhu Houzhao listened to the confusion, I don't know what to do, and there is a household servant Lang Lang Chu out of the class to play, the Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous, all the products of the country are gathered in the Beijing Division to buy and sell, the throughput is increasing day by day, the Son of Heaven is that is, the power of the Quartet, from the Silk Road or Annam, Ryukyu and other places to come more and more Fanbang merchants, the Ming Dynasty tea, silk, porcelain and other things are often in short supply......

As soon as the prince finished speaking, another minister came out to add, and everyone said a word.

Zhu Houzhao listened for a long time before he understood, these ministers said the same thing, because the trade deficit is too large, the people themselves do not have enough food and clothing, of course, the spiritual civilization category of tea, porcelain and other things are not enough......

If there is a problem in Jingshi, it is natural to solve it, otherwise why do we get together every day before dawn? So there was a lot of noise in the Golden Palace, the ministers expressed their opinions, each insisted on their own words, and the noise made Zhu Houzhao frown.

In the midst of the noise, a superintendent named Fang Kui stood up for work, glanced around the hall, and said cautiously: "Since the things that the Jingshi eats are urgent, why don't you choose another city nearby to develop, build an official warehouse and build a downtown city, one is to hoard what the Beijing master lacks, and the other is to digest the rest of the Beijing division, and the two are adjacent, complementing each other......

The hall was silent, and the needle drop could be heard.

In the afternoon, the Cabinet formally put the matter on the agenda.

*****************************************************************

The celebrant has come again.

The villain's surname is Qin, and he looks like a gentleman.

Liu Jin has a toothache today, and I don't know if it is the illness that Qin Kan committed after seeing it, the right cheek is swollen and high, Liu Jin is holding the swollen cheek with one hand, while glaring at Qin Kan vigorously, his eyes are resentful, his expression is hideous, and he doesn't know whether it is pain or anger.

Ouch ouch groaned for a long time, the little eunuch beside him hurriedly took out a piece of ice from a dark red copper bucket, and carefully put it into Liu Jin's mouth, Liu Jin held the ice for a while, and the toothache was finally slightly relieved.

Snorting angrily, Liu Jin said very politely: "What is the reason why Marquis Qin came to this small temple of the Miscellaneous Family today?" Miscellaneous family look at you, you are a weasel to the chicken New Year's greetings, you don't have a good heart, right? ”

Qin Kan looked Liu Jin up and down for a while, and then said slowly: "Gonggong Liu is serious, how can you be a chicken?" I won't allow you to insult yourself like that......" (To be continued......
