The popularity of Ying Tiancheng has always been maintained at a stable height because of the triumphant return of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

The DPRK and the Great Pilgrimage Meeting were also held on time.

The Cabinet Leader, the Metropolitan Governor's Office, together with the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, extracted the results of the examination of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and other departments, and raised a level to reward the meritorious soldiers of the Northern Expedition in accordance with the past rules.

It's just that in this reward, in addition to those who should be promoted and those who should be rich, the imperial court for the first time distributed the land property of most of the soldiers who granted the land to Jiaozhi Road, Zhancheng Road, and the two places where the people of the Ming Dynasty and the people of the two provinces migrated and settled to the west.

According to the latest system established by the Cabinet.

These rewarded fields did not need to be visited by the families of the rewarded soldiers, but were entrusted to local governments such as Jiaozhi Road and Champong Road, and existed in the form of supervision by the Southern Expeditionary Army.

The annual tax payable is deducted, and the rations paid to the cultivators and tenants only need to wait for the imperial court to directly calculate at the end of the year, and then transfer to the local government of the soldier's household registration and distribute it together with the household department.

"The army is now very vocal about the southern expeditionary army, hoping that they can go west faster, and the old man is not very clear now, whether this is good or bad."

At the end of the court, the courtiers need to get everything done around this court.

Looking at the Manchu officials, they rushed out and walked towards the outside of the palace.

Ren Hengtai, the first and auxiliary minister of the cabinet, clasped his hands together, his eyes were a little worried.

Xie Jin was silent, because Zou Xueyu was about to become the minister of the governor of Zhili, which was now the highest-ranking feudal official in the local area of the Chaoxinxue faction, and he needed to keep a low profile recently.

Xu Yungong didn't speak either.

After all, the matter involves the military, and the cabinet minister is worried about it, and he, a cabinet member, is not easy to say anything.

After all, the military has really gained a lot of benefits today.

Gao Yangzhi, who had already returned to Beijing, looked up at the sky and felt that if he had free time recently, he could go to the riverside for an autumn trip to enjoy the scenery.

Mu Ying saw that everyone didn't speak, so he made up his mind not to speak.

Although he is one of the cabinet ministers, he has the status of a foreign relative, so it is better to speak less before the fundamental issues involving himself and the military.

Zhai Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, who had just entered the cabinet not long ago, looked at everyone and didn't speak, so he had to look at Shoufu and said softly: "It is understandable that the soldiers are eager to seek merit. There is a lot of territory in the south, and it is a good place to farm. The jungle is full of miasma over there, but the Southern Expeditionary Army can now be regarded as finding a way to deal with it.

There is too much land, too few people. It is enough to reward meritorious soldiers in the army. It's just that the local government manages this article on its behalf, but it still needs to be pondered and pondered, and the imperial court must be able to supervise it in place.

Otherwise, in the next year, there will be a disaster in the southern region, so will there be no need to give these grains to the soldiers? When the time comes, if one is not good, the morale of the army will be turbulent and the battalion will mutiny. ”

"The army of the southern expedition will take over the right of supervision now, and I believe that the government and yamen in the south will not dare to do anything under the nose of the army."

At this time, Xu Yungong finally spoke.

With Zhai Shan paving the way in front of his head, he is able to express his opinion on the matter of supervision.

Ren Hengtai looked left and right, anyway, these things were all things in the army, so he stared at Xie Jin beside him.

"Gentleman."

Xie Jin didn't know what he was thinking, and when he heard Ren Hengtai calling, he was slightly stunned, raised his head and looked at the other party suspiciously.

Ren Hengtai smiled: "Now that His Royal Highness has returned to Beijing, and the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili has been built again, the old man is thinking about the various workshop foundations laid by Ying Tianfu before, should he hurry up and spread it to the entire Zhili?" ”

As Ren Hengtai opened his mouth like this, the cabinet ministers who walked behind the hundred officials of the scattered dynasty looked sideways at the first assistant who didn't seem to have much authority and majesty.

Ren Hengtai wants to seize power?

He wants to take the opportunity to get the power of how to govern in the future?

For a while, several people speculated in their hearts.

Xie Jin's face did not change, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, so he said slowly: "Zhili is headed by Jingshi, and it involves Zhongdu and Lianghuai Yousi. That day, His Majesty was outside the city, and Zou Xueyu decided the matter of Zhili Dao, and the following officials were humble in their opinion, His Majesty and His Royal Highness were probably going to use Zhili as a place to test the waters, and what to do next, I am afraid that there has been some conclusion. ”

Zhili Dao was decided by the emperor, and Zou Xueyu was also the candidate for the governor of Zhili directly determined by the emperor.

The Cabinet did not know about this in advance.

In this way, then what will happen to the governor of Zhili, Yamen, will probably not be able to intervene in the cabinet.

Xie Jin's meaning is obvious.

He himself will not meddle in the affairs of the Governor Yamen, so how will Ren Hengtai, the first auxiliary minister, choose.

Do you want Ren Hengtai to negotiate with the emperor and see how to deal with the matter of Zhili Dao next?

Ren Hengtai just smiled.

He said casually: "I think Your Majesty wants His Highness to handle this matter, and His Highness is now more and more stable, and he is becoming more and more proficient in state affairs." The old man thought about it, and the cabinet should be a good thing to do next, and he had to lead the court and the yamen, and he must not delay the matter of testing the new deal in Zhilidao. ”

Ren Hengtai pointed out the new deal.

Xie Jin smiled slightly.

Hongwu's new policy is a matter in the emperor's entrainment, and no one can interfere.

In the past few years, the king of Qin has slaughtered all sides outside, so that those who are dissatisfied with the new policy in the local area cannot raise their heads.

There are also tax offices like grassland fires, rising from Tianfu and sweeping the entire Central Plains. With the cooperation of the tax office, the local government is interested in resisting the new policy of the imperial court, and most of the time it will be detected and dissected.

With the tax bureau and tax soldiers pressing the array, King Qin can be described as invincible and invincible.

Ren Hengtai was still smiling: "The gentry still has to tell the household department that the money and food for more than a dozen government-run schools in the world must be given as soon as possible, and the country will raise its army, but it can't delay the academic homework of its dolls." ”

Because of Xia Yuanji's promotion to the head of the household department, the household department was placed under Xie Jin.

And Ren Hengtai, who entered the cabinet from the Ministry of Rites, is now closer to Zhai Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

No one in the Ministry of Industry is willing to interfere, and it is His Royal Highness the matter of His Royal Highness Taisun to do well or badly, and the cabinet only needs to ensure that there are no mistakes in the local decision-making of the Ministry of Industry.

And the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple were handed over to Gao Yangzhi early in the morning.

The authority of the Ministry of War has been reduced a lot, with Xu Yungong, the cabinet minister, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the two popular county princes Li Jinglong and Chang Sheng, the Ministry of War can only follow the footsteps of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion as an errand boy.

The first two things that Ren Hengtai mentioned seemed to be just asking.

In the end, it still fell on the local government-run school.

Xie Jin nodded and said: "A few times ago, the household department has already told the lower officials that this year will be like this for the time being, after all, the Northern Expedition has just ended, and it is impossible for the imperial court to allocate a large amount of money and grain for a while. But after this year, the budget for government-run schools will be increased in the spring of next year. ”

"After the beginning of the spring, the public examination of the Beijing division should also be supervised and supervised, and there is a lot of shortage of officials in the imperial court and local officials. No matter what knowledge you have, you should use it as long as it is beneficial to the country and the people. Ren Hengtai suddenly changed to another topic.

Xie Jin and the others nodded silently.

Whether it is the local government-run school, or the matter of this public examination, or the filling of the vacancy of the imperial court, it is the errand of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials.

Ren Hengtai pondered for a moment and looked at Wenyuan Pavilion, which was already close in front of him.

He hesitated, but still said: "But there is one point that the old man has thought about for a long time, but I will discuss it with you. ”

"I want to hear about it."

Xie Jin and the others bowed slightly, waiting for Ren Hengtai, the head of the Ming cabinet, to speak.

"The imperial court selects officials, and it is the first place. However, for the official side, it is the foundation, but how to make the upper and lower lines go smoothly, the political communication and the people are also a university question. The old man thinks that we will appoint one party for His Majesty to select the best talents in the world, and in addition to talent, we must also examine whether they can be promoted to one side. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? ”

Ren Hengtai threw out a big proposition, and then swept over everyone present with a deep gaze.

This seems to be the first time that Ren Hengtai has taken such an initiative since he took office as the first assistant of the cabinet.

Xie Jin and the others were silent, but their expressions fell into deep thought.

Gao Yangzhi, who returned to Beijing from the nine sides, looked left and right.

He said softly: "The selection of officials in the imperial court, whether to take their talents or virtues, is to weigh the considerations of good life. If you can't even understand what the officials say, how can you shepherd one side for Your Majesty and govern the people? It's just that...... If you don't know how to be an official, you let talented people go unleashed, which is also a waste for the country. ”

Gao Yangzhi tried his best to be fair, but he was already vigilant in his heart.

Ren Hengtai, the first assistant, said so much today, and finally turned to how to choose officials in the imperial court, in fact, he was already faintly going to Zhang Ergong, the current secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Xu Yungong and Mu Ying glanced at each other, and at the same time chose to remain silent.

Xie Jin couldn't help but speak at this time.

His gaze was a little solemn, and he looked at Ren Hengtai lightly: "Why don't you have a cabinet discussion, always sort out a few clues first, sort them out, and then submit them to the Holy Front?" ”

Recognized by Xie Jin's second assistant, Ren Hengtai's face showed a smile.

"The election of officials is a major national matter, and as a cabinet, we need to be well deliberated."

……

"There are thousands of things, and it is not as big as eating a full stomach."

In the north of Yingtian City, a place on the Yangtze River that is now hanging on the grange under the name of Shanglin Yuanjian Zhu Yunxi said softly in his mouth, he walked on the ridge, and his palm brushed over those waist-high rice.

Zhu Gaochi followed behind him, and said with a smile: "This year is probably another rare good year, Ying Tianfu has already preliminarily estimated that this year's harvest in Ying Tianfu can be more than ten catties more than last year." ”

Don't underestimate the yield of more than ten catties of grain per acre of land, which is just a small amount.

But once this number is put in the entire Ying Tianfu, it is a huge number.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the other person who followed behind him.

The current Ming Dynasty Household Department Shangshu Xia Yuanji.

Among the three people at the beginning, Xia Yuanji has always been the most inconspicuous one, and he has only cultivated the one-third of an acre of land in the household department for a long time.

And according to Zhu Yunxi's idea, it is also to let Xia Yuanji shine in the household for a long time.

As long as you don't die, let Xia Yuanji do it to death.

"Wei Zhe, what did the household department say?"

Wei Zhe is the character of Xia Yuanji.

Xia Yuanji saw that his grandson had clicked on him, and immediately stepped forward: "The household department estimates that the average yield per mu of Ying Tianfu this year can be about twelve catties more." ”

"It's a big increase." Zhu Yunxi nodded, and said, "The young master is quite hard in Shanglin Yuan, so Gu asked you to come out and walk together today." ”

He explained, and Xia Yuanji nodded.

The group entered Zhuangzi.

Unlike the Zhuangzi elsewhere, a large circle of fields around the Zhuangzi by the river here has long been filled in.

Farmhouses are scattered around Zhuangzi.

Before the people approached, they heard a burst of chickens, ducks, and geese chirping.

Looking at it from afar, there is also a large area in the shallows of the river, which is enclosed by nets and fences.

Seeing Zhu Yunxi's face showing curiosity.

Xia Yuanji bowed forward: "This is the poultry breeding place that the young master first made, at the beginning there were only more than 1,000 chickens, ducks and geese, but now there are tens of thousands. The prescription prescribed by the Tai Hospital has never had any serious disease spread. ”

Chickens, white geese, and ducks are running around in front of them in the farmhouse and the fence fence.

A smile appeared on Zhu Yunxi's face.

I haven't seen such a scene of poultry walking all over the ground for a long time.

Zhu Gaochi raised his hand to cover his nose.

There are so many poultry here, and the feces produced are really piled up, and the smell is really difficult to breathe smoothly.

"How's it selling?" Zhu Yunxi asked.

Xia Yuanji said: "Most of them are purchased from the shops in Tiancheng, and now that the people are living well, they can often eat a few meals of meat." However, the big head was still given to the battalions of the Beijing army and the pro-army. ”

"Is there enough supply?" Zhu Yunxi was born again.

Xia Yuanji nodded and said: "This is the first breeding land in front of the head, in addition to the dozens of in Yingtianfu, and now there are two or three hundred thousand poultry raised." ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded, the supply of two or three hundred thousand poultry meat is nothing.

But in today's period, it is far from being comparable to the past.

Zhu Gaochi covered his nose on the side and hummed: "It's good, it's just too stinky." ”

Xia Yuanji's face moved slightly, and he was holding back a smile.

Zhu Yunxi just glanced at Xiao Fat, and then raised his foot to lift it on the poultry manure that was drying on the side.

"Don't underestimate these things, it is with these things that today's food production can be guaranteed."

Agricultural circulatory systems.

This can be regarded as a major event that Shanglin Yuan Supervisor is doing now.

Poultry feed on insects, wild herbs and rice bran in the field, and the grown poultry provide meat, the hair fills bedding and clothing, and the daily manure provides fertility for the fields.

Zhu Yunxi thought that the down produced by these poultry could be used with cotton in the future to provide warmer clothes for the army in the north.

With it, he thought of the second child and Sun Cheng who had already set foot on the land of North America.

I don't know how they are now?
