Chapter 517: Vision

Chen Xie quietly completed the work of the crooked building, so that Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Tinglin gave up the question of asking about the attitude of the imperial examination. This trick is really helpless, this issue is too sensitive, and Chen Xie doesn't want to talk to them about it. In these years, the Ming Dynasty has not yet realized its backwardness, and Western countries have not yet grown up, and even a Ming person dares to pat his chest and say that the Heavenly Empire is the kingdom. When you tell them this and that, it's basically in vain. This thing is to let the interests promote.

Zhu Youzhen wanted to improve the imperial examination, because he questioned Wenchen's ability. The question of how to change your ability must be studied before the exam, otherwise you will be admitted to the Jinshi and will not understand government affairs when you arrive in the place, and you will have to learn again. Some officials simply don't understand anything and don't like to learn. As a result, it is natural to be a bullshit official, and the local affairs are handled in a mess. The Ming Dynasty got to the present Cheng dù, and Zhu Youzhen subjectively believed that this was the reason for the ineffectiveness of Wenchen. never thought that this was the bane planted by his family's ancestors. Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister, but his energy is strong. The later emperor, how could he have this ability, so he moved out of the eunuch to set up an inner court, and the eunuch who held the right to approve the red was called the inner minister.

In the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, civil officials are a group of secretaries. The later emperors, that is, Zhu Di, can be similar to him, and everyone else is blind. The problem is that Zhu Yuanzhang engaged in eight shares of people, this thing is too Nima pit. This is really a system problem, and it has to be changed. Zhu Youzhen was also made crazy by these Wenchen, so he thought about changing the imperial examination.

"Sihua, it is said that His Majesty is going to change the inner court? Do you know what's going on? "Yang Tinglin recovered relatively quickly, and if he couldn't figure out the problem, he didn't think about it, anyway, what Chen Xie said made a lot of sense. When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he heard this. Prick up your ears too.

"Well, there's such a thing. His Majesty did not want the inner court to affect the government too much, so he planned to reform the inner court. The specific charter, after the outer court ticket is drafted, will be sent to the inner court to be clothed in red. A response must be made within three days. Even if you don't use guò, you have to indicate the reason. When encountering heavy things that cannot be decided, they will be handed over to His Majesty for judgment. It is important to note that the votes of the outer court should not be returned without a good reason. Chen Xie explained this externally, and sued Zhu Youzhen internally. Don't worry about everything as an emperor, Zhuge Liang is tired to death. It is enough to grasp the main principles and major policies, and grasp the military power with one hand and the financial power with the other. As long as these two rights are held, the ministers will not be able to play any tricks.

These two years have had enough. Zhu Youzhen was deeply convinced of what Chen Xie said. Nothing can be done without money, military generals can't fight, external troubles can't be resisted, and internal strife can't be quelled. He has had enough of this kind of life, so he needs to improve.

After listening to Chen Xie's words, the two of them were quite happy in their hearts. The trust between monarchs and ministers has deteriorated over the years.

Chen Xie continued: "His Majesty has also decided to abolish the court staff, saying that it is a bad habit. The ministers are herdsmen on behalf of the Son of Heaven. The monarch and the minister are one. All in all, there are a lot of things that need to be changed, and Majesty has been thinking about how to change these problems. "Hear the cancellation of the cane. The two were even happier. The court staff is a thing, it was inherited from the Yuan Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, the relationship between monarchs and ministers was not like that of the Ming Dynasty at all. Wenchen likes to fool the emperor with "vertical arch rule", and it is a bit perverted in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. At every turn, he can use righteousness to suppress the emperor, and he can't wait for the emperor to ignore anything, just give birth to a child in the palace. Once there is a dispute between the monarch and the minister. The emperor was annoyed and spanked. this system. Yan zhòng tore the relationship between the monarch and the minister.

In fact, the cultivation of the prince in the future also needs to be changed. The Ming Dynasty will definitely not work like this. The emperor grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, and the people around him said whatever he wanted, and the ministers believed whatever they said. In this way, how can a country be governed well, and everything is done according to what Wenchen said, and what will the country become by the end of the Ming Dynasty?

Therefore, when Chen Xiejian yì, when the prince was still the prince, he should learn from those princes of the Western Han Dynasty, and go to the people to take a look if he has something to do. If you don't understand the sufferings of the people, how can you be a good emperor? How can you be optimistic about Daming? Of course, Chen Xie will not take the initiative to say this question now. Turning around, Zhu Youzhen proposed that he would have to fight with Wenchen.

As long as Zhu Youzhen is resolute, this matter should be able to be understood. The two were happy for the emperor's change, and when the mood came, they drank and refreshed. Yang Tinglin quickly thought of another question, and immediately asked: "Sihua, Hong Hengjiu has entered Beijing, and the pattern of suppressing thieves in Sichuan has basically been decided. ”

Chen Xie knew about this matter, and the situation of suppressing thieves in Sichuan had undergone a lot of changes before the end of the year. Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others were blocked by officers and soldiers in Luzhou, and a decisive battle was fought in two times. In this battle, the troops of the four generals of Chen Xie's rectification in Xiangyang were still excellent, and under the premise that the local troops were defeated, they blocked the charge of the thieves. At the critical moment, the four A-word battalions commanded by Lin Ya rushed to the battlefield and attacked fiercely from the flanks like thieves, turning the stalemate in one fell swoop. This battle was also commanded by Hong Chengchou, who heard that the Sichuan army collapsed and led the Qin army to stay still, and when he got the news, he had missed the opportunity to encircle and annihilate the Liukou, giving Zhang Xianzhong and others a chance to run into Yunnan.

In any case, Hong Chengchou is the commander-in-chief, and the thieves have entered Yunnan, which is a victory. Under this situation, Hong Chengchou, who was preparing for the pursuit, received an order from the Beijing Division, and after completing the handover with Sun Chuanting, he returned to the Beijing Division. After Zhang Xianzhong and others entered Yunnan, they ran all the way to the west. There were few stops along the way, and the latest news shows that it is almost to Mu State (a part of present-day Myanmar).

If Zhang Xianzhong really fled to Myanmar, it would not be a bad thing. It's best if these people go over there, and they can stand up. Chen Xie is happy to see this matter come to fruition, don't look at the thieves who can't do the officers and soldiers, there is no problem at all with the local soldiers over there. Just like Li Mi's troops, they couldn't do the PLA at home, and they went to Burma to fight the local army, which was quite easy.

If Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai take root in Myanmar, or even seize power there and build a country, that is what Chen Xie wants to see the most. The current small countries in the southwest are, to be honest, really alien places. It is wild and backward, and the geographical conditions are extremely harsh. There is no need for the officers and soldiers to chase at all, Chen Xie has already built a relationship with Zhu Youzhen, once Zhang Xianzhong and the others really flee to Yunnan, they don't need to chase them, and the miasma can make them all finished. Of course, this was to fool Zhu Youzhen, mainly because he didn't want him to continue to use soldiers. After quickly using the surplus money for domestic relief and stabilizing the northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty, other problems are not too big a problem. In this way, Chen Xie can also calmly get out and run the South China Sea.

"Zhang Xianzhong suffered a defeat in Luzhou, Lin Ya and others killed a total of 8,000, and the thieves fled westward, and the destruction was not far away. Hong Hengjiu is not a small advantage. Lu Xiangsheng's words were like a joke, but he actually wanted to see Chen Xie's reaction.

Mentioning this matter, Chen Xie just smiled slightly and said: "Hong Hengjiu is much stronger than those Beijing officials, but he is an official who has been done at the local level. The ability is very strong, this kind of person is in the cabinet, which is a good thing for Daming. Chen Xie's "generosity" was really unexpected, both of them were observing, and when they felt that Chen Xie was insincere, they all gave a thumbs up.

It was not early, the two said goodbye and left, Chen Xie was sent out of the door and returned to the study, where Liu Qing was sitting and waiting. Seeing Chen Xie coming in, he stepped forward and said, "The owner, have you sent the two adults away?" Chen Xie nodded and said, "It's finally dealt with the past, by the way, you came back from Liaodong, how is the situation over there?" What the report says is still too false, and seeing is believing. ”

Liu Qing picked up a piece of cloth from his side, handed it to Chen Xie, and said: "This is a piece of cloth woven in Shenyang, and the 50,000 pieces of cloth that were shipped to Beijing a year ago were all sold out. Chen Xie took it and took a look, the quality of this tweed horse was not bad, and he nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good, over there in the Horqin grassland, it seems that the current wool trade can be done." ”

Liu Qingdao: "Not to mention, in Tongliao, Mongolians send wool every day in exchange for tea, grain, and ironware. I've heard that a lot of Mongolians don't raise horses anymore, they are raising sheep, it's too easy to get money, and they're not stupid. Speaking of this, Chen Xie remembered that this sheep actually has a big problem, he eats grass roots. Once you raise too much, the problem of desertification will naturally follow. Chen Xie thought for a while and said: "The sheep breeds on the grassland are not good, and they produce too little wool. We also have to think of introducing suitable varieties from Taixi and transporting them to the grassland. By the way, go back and unite the merchants to set a rule, do business on the grassland, don't cheat people. In addition, sue sù Zu Dashou, once something similar happens, resolutely and severely punished. ”

Liu Qing said with a smile: "They are already doing this, and they have recently arrested a lot of profiteers and fined them for silver." By the way, the track over there in Liaodong is said to be more difficult to repair. The locomotive brought by the owner was so heavy that the previous tracks were unusable. The new track was laid very slowly, and the most troublesome thing was the bridge. The woman, Xia Xue, said that she had organized a craftsman to work on the bridge, and planned to use iron to build the bridge. This kind of track has been paved for dozens of miles, and it seems to be okay to get on the test car. Whether it works or not, in the end, you have to go to the owner to see, no one can compare with you. ”

Chen Xiexin said I don't understand this either, the railroad thing, to be honest, Chen Xie is also a layman. Thinking of the scene of the train running in the Northeast in the future, Chen Xie was still a little excited. This matter seems to be a bit far away now, and I don't know when the train that belongs to Daming in the real sense will come out.

Liu Qing has been going back and forth between the Northeast and the Beijing Division during this period, mainly planning the production of tweed. Now it seems that he has done a good job, Chen Xie did not ask again, and changed the topic to ask about the Qing army in Liaodong. (To be continued)
