The Emperor of the Apocalypse seemed interested.

Full of promises: "I'm on time, take a few days, and I'll take a look." ”

Zhang Jingyi felt relieved, and he had even thought about the scene of a warm welcome at that time.

So I was busy thanking.

The feast is over.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse drove back to the palace, and at the end of his life, he was a little unsatisfied, so he called Zhang Jingyi to the front and asked him to send him back to the palace.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse came from Weifu, so he sat in the carriage, so he ordered Zhang Jingyi to get on the carriage as well, and said, "Your military academy makes me feel more and more interesting." ”

Zhang Jingyi said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, the minister is running a school to discover more talents for my Ming Dynasty." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said, "Aren't my Ming talents enough?" ”

Zhang Jingyi said seriously: "Not enough! ”

It's the truth.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned: "What is the reason for this?" ”

Zhang Jingyi said cautiously: "This is because the people in the world who can give full play to their talents account for only one percent of the world's population. ”

"What does that mean?"

"Because the rest of the ninety, or even ninety-five, people are not qualified to use their talents at all." Zhang Jingyi continued: "A mere 10% of people, relying on offerings, can study, have the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination, and be included in the temple. But more than ninety percent of people are always running for the next meal, and their children, let alone studying, can't even learn the most basic common sense, although all dynasties and dynasties are like this, and the ministers have nothing to say, but ...... It has always been like this, should it be? ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse stared at Zhang Jingyi, he found that he couldn't see through this guy anymore, sometimes, this person has a lot of shortcomings and faults, such as being stingy, stingy, and pretending to be poor every day. Occasionally, I will also slap my beard and pat the horse, see people talking about people, and talk nonsense when I see ghosts.

But sometimes, he has an unusual side, this side that is rarely seen on weekdays, which makes the Emperor of the Apocalypse breed curiosity: "But...... Even if it shouldn't, what? ”

Zhang Jingyi sighed and said: "Let's just say that those displaced people who have fallen to the capital, many of them are wise and brave, does Your Majesty remember the person named Li Dingguo?" ”

"The kid?"

Zhang Jing nodded and said: "He used to be just an ordinary child, illiterate, if it was according to his family background, maybe in this life, he was just herding cattle for the landlord, or being a tenant for a living." But this person came to the capital and entered the school, his learning speed far exceeded that of others, in just a few months, he was able to read and write, and the exercises in other subjects were outstanding. Your Majesty, think about it, if such a person is given a little chance, will his achievements be worse than those jinshi? In my Ming Dynasty, there are countless people like Li Dingguo, if His Majesty is willing to give them even a little hope, my Ming Dynasty will be full of talents. ”

"What's more, all they want is to have enough to eat, but to be able to barely spend it in the academy before they reach adulthood! This is much more than the talents of those who are less than 10%. It is much less in demand than the insatiable demands of adults. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was thoughtful, and it was rare for the monarch and the ministers to have such a heart-to-heart conversation, and he probably understood Zhang Jingyi's mind now.

Resettle the displaced people, then resettle them well, and select talents from these displaced people, these ...... It will be the hope of Daming Zhongxing, and the cost is lower.

On the other hand, those gentry families, although there are many talents, but these people have long lost control, their appetite has become bigger and bigger, and the privileges they have asked for have become more and more, and their desires are difficult to fill.

Zhang Jingyi lost no time in saying: "I Daming, in fact, what I need is not one or two saints, with one or two saints, in the face of today's situation, how can I do ZTE?" Wang Shouren in the Zhengde period can already be called a saint, he has made great contributions, both civil and military, but what? What I need is thousands of talents, these talents do not need to be extraordinary, as long as they can dedicate a little light and heat in their respective positions, it is enough to make my Ming like the scorching sun at noon, illuminating the eternity. This is the minister's thoughts. ”

"Donglin Military Academy, what we are cultivating now is not the generals and celebrities who can make great contributions to Your Majesty in the future, they are the backbone and wildfire, in order to cultivate more talents with the help of them in the future. So...... The minister hoped that if His Majesty could go to the military academy, even if it was only for an hour or half an hour, and say something at will, it would be enough to inspire people. ”

These words, if it were other emperors, Zhang Jingyi might not be easy to speak, so he would be relieved...... It is inevitable that there will be suspicions of trespassing.

But the temperament of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhang Jingyi can understand one or two, as long as the Emperor of the Apocalypse trusts him, then there are no worries in this world.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said, "I understand your thoughts, but ...... How difficult it is to do what you say, and it is just as difficult as it is to reach the sky, but ...... If you have a heart, I will follow you. ”

Zhang Jing nodded.

There was silence in the carriage.

When he first arrived at Daming Gate, there were eunuchs looking at the gate, and as soon as he saw that the holy car had arrived, he came in a hurry.

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse got out of the car, the eunuch hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent performance in Liaodong." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded, if it wasn't for the urgent performance, under normal circumstances, it would not be so urgent to tell him directly, so he took the music and looked down, and then, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was full of anger and sneered: "Shameless." ”

Zhang Jingyi was confused and said in a low voice: "Dare to ask Your Majesty why you are angry?" ”

Emperor Apocalypse said angrily: "Haizhou Wei commanded and led the army to surrender Jiannu, I never imagined it...... My Ming general, actually looked at the wind and fell. Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, said that this is Li Yongfang's handiwork again......"

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, Li Yongfang is a signboard of the Jiannu people, this person not only knows the truth of my Ming Dynasty well, but also has been in the army of Liaodong for a long time, and has a friendship with the generals of Liaodong. What's even more worrying is that the Jiannu people treated him very favorably, and Wu Changchun once confessed, saying that the Jiannu people asked him to collect the Han army, no less than 10,000 people. He also gave these Han soldiers preferential treatment, distributed land, and even gave ploughing cattle, so many favors, which not only bought people's hearts, but also made Li Yongfang and his subordinates die. ”

"I want to give land to military households, and it is very difficult, after all, all the land in this world has a lord. But the Jiannu people are different, the land is not theirs, as long as they seize a land, the Jiannu people have to go for most of it, and then give some soup and water to Li Yongfang and these people, which is enough to make them grateful. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse in anger couldn't help but show a little worry, and said: "One general today, another general tomorrow, how can Liaodong be preserved in the long run?" My Ming Dynasty has never treated them badly, which of them is not the grace of the world? ”

This sigh is full of helplessness.

Zhang Jingyi actually understands very well, if you say that the status of martial artists is low, it is fine, but those generals are hereditary, and it is not wrong to say that they have received the grace of the country in the world, but on the contrary, the more these people are, the more unethical they are.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse immediately said, "Haven't you been arranging a plan to attack Li Yongfang all along? How's it going? ”

Zhang Jing said: "Everything has been arranged, and before the thirteenth, the personnel have already set off for Liaodong." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked straight at Zhang Jingyi and said with concern: "How sure are you?" ”

Zhang Jingyi hesitated and said, "This ...... The minister said it was not good. ”

Emperor Apocalypse said with a calm face: "A person like Li Yongfang, if he is rich and noble for a day, I will not be able to sleep and eat for a day. ”

After all, I hated it.

Of course, he knew that Zhang Jingyi's plan was a bit whimsical.

After all, such an action is almost unheard of.

It's just that the Emperor of the Apocalypse can't help but breed some fantasies, what if the wish comes true?

He sighed and said, "I'm going to the Diligent Palace to take care of affairs, you...... Go back to your business......"

Zhang Jing nodded: "Obey." ”

In autumn, the most important issue at the moment is the autumn harvest......

Here in Xinxian County, for the sake of the autumn harvest, everyone has taken action, and Zhang Jingyi is also too busy to take care of the end.

And more than half a month later.

In those thousands of miles of snow.

Outside Fushun City, a caravan had slowly arrived.

Many carts piled up with goods left a trail of car marks on the snow under the vast sky.

Over the years, the weather has been abnormal, so much so that after autumn, Liaodong has been covered with heavy snow.

The convoy, which had a Zhang Ji marker, began to enter the city.

The leader is Deng Jian.

Wu Changchun provided them with a way to enter the hinterland of Liaodong, that is, to find a Jin merchant in Datong, who had an excellent relationship with the Jiannu people in Liaodong.

After seizing dozens of members of the Zhang family in Datong, and then obtaining the guidance of Zhang Ji Shangjia, they entered Liaodong in the name of this private businessman.

Really...... Everything is unimpeded.

It's just that when I entered Fushun City today, at this gate, more than a dozen soldiers dressed as Han Chinese, and two flag soldiers stopped the convoy.

The Han soldiers stepped forward to inspect the goods in the car, and felt that there was no problem, so they wanted to pass.

Deng Jian's heart was already sweating, and at this time, his heart was relaxed, and he was about to enter the city.

At this time, a flag soldier looked at the place, and spoke in Jiannu language.

Deng Jian didn't understand, and the man was even more furious, so he stepped forward with a knife, raised his hand and slapped Deng Jian.

Deng Jian's face was already red from the cold, and this slap made him grin.

So the beating flag man and the other flag man who was watching from a distance both laughed.

The upper echelons of Jiannu obviously knew that there were few Jiannu people and therefore needed to rule Liaodong, so they had to win over these Han merchants who had taken refuge in Jiannu or sent goods to Jiannu.

But these lower-class bannermen obviously can't understand the deep meaning of the upper-class, in their opinion, these Han people are no different from pigs and dogs.
