Chapter 139 King Qin went on patrol

"Then General Qin's power is subordinate to the military department or the cabinet?"

Sun Chengzong's words pointed out the focus of the problem. But the old man's tone was very calm, and he was still digesting the emperor's meaning just now.

"According to what I said earlier, it naturally belongs to the cabinet, but the minister has not yet clearly belonged to which department."

Han Ying also meant to talk about things at this time, and he said the words of the military department to the outside world earlier, and now that he is in the cabinet, he is also speaking from the position of the cabinet.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Lu Xiangsheng.

"Beizhili will be handed over to you from today onwards, what is the idea of Lu Qing's family?"

Lu Xiangsheng knew that although he was not very familiar with government affairs, he still had a long-term view on some macro matters. And he also knew that as of now, there has been no crime in the court for words, so he said bluntly:

"Who is the official? Who pays the money? Something happens on weekdays, and the governor supports the envoy? Or is it the prefect's envoy? Can the imperial court support it? For example, if there is something today, can Jingshi Shuntianfu support it? Jinyi Wei has guards in various places, how to deal with the system of guards? Is this city defense finally to the county? ”

Lu Xiangsheng was in charge of Changping for a few months, and only then did he realize that what he had seen in the book of saints was a lie. The saint never said anything about asking for money, but the first thing he asked today was about the salary and the election of officials. At the same time, he was also a little angry that the imperial court had inserted his hand too deep into the place.

Qin Liangyu didn't expect that the emperor had given him such a big errand, but he didn't speak for a while.

Zhu Youzhen heard what Lu Xiangsheng meant, but this was a contradiction for him. The city defense of the Ming Dynasty has always been a big problem, often once the foreign enemy comes in, as long as there is no regular army, the city is a decoration. However, if the city defense is strengthened, under the current conditions of communications, this force can only be completely entrusted to the management of local officials.

With the reform of the currency, minerals have become a hot bun at hand. It turned out to be managed by eunuchs, but now it will definitely not work if it is handed over to eunuchs. And to whom? Once the steam age rises, coal can become a core resource.

"Two days ago, there was a disturbance in the iron mine in Tongling, and there were also excerpts in the local area. Both Dongchang and Jinyiwei said that they could go down to supervise the mine. The specific recital is still on my table. ”

Zhu Youzhen couldn't push it as a whole, so he simply started with a small thing.

"What the cabinet approved is to let the local area clean up. What I mean in the middle of my stay is, how to clean up the place when there is trouble? ”

Speaking of the eunuchs supervising the mine in Dongchang, everyone suddenly had the same position.

"The minister just doesn't agree with Dongchang, during the Apocalypse, Dongchang has stimulated several popular uprisings, and the cabinet has also negotiated, Dongchang's blind suppression is useless, and it is easy to breed corruption, which is very inappropriate."

The position of the Korean model is very clear.

"Now the military department has transferred all kinds of people to Changping to assemble, and cleaned up the border soldiers in the tuntian, and the redundant personnel were falsely reported for retreat. According to His Majesty's words, it began to gradually change to recruiting troops and issuing military tickets. All the troops of the imperial court should be sent to the war zone. ”

Sun Chengzong interjected:

"What about the defense of the Jingshi? Once the theater is lost again, regardless of how to deal with it in the future, the military department has no troops in its hands that can be used for defense. His Majesty has also said that the way of a good soldier is to have more available soldiers and less redundant soldiers. It is not a blind reduction of local garrisons. ”

Hong Chengchou had a flash of inspiration at this time and added:

"Wechen has a suggestion. Now there is a situation in one province of Daming. The minister was also in charge of defense in Zhejiang, and also in Shaanxi to clean up bandits. Weichen thought that it was better to temporarily put it under the name of the military department, but the ordnance configuration was different from that of the foreign army. Officials and salaries are all issued by the military department, and the county government reports to the prefect if there is something to do, and the prefect reports to the governor if he has something to do, and he can be transferred. As for the minerals, they were requested to be settled by the Ministry of Households, and the residence of the Minister of Imperial Health was requested to be settled by the Ministry of Rites. What's more, the total number of white pole troops now does not exceed 5,000 people, and it is not enough in Beizhili alone, so why not try it here now Lord Lu? ”

Zhu Youzhen felt that he should praise Hong Chengchou.

"Okay, Beizhili is at the feet of everyone, and there is no time to adjust any situation. Lu Xiangsheng will take office tomorrow, and there will be an explanation for the affairs of Changping, and I will still go often in the future. What is the constitution of the North Naoli, you and the cabinet that idea. Now the entire North Zhili has been vacated by me. The land of several princes, the land of the capital camp, and the imperial village that I gave you. This time, if the land inventory can't be completed, you Lu Xiangsheng will go home and sell sweet potatoes. ”

"Obey. For the time being, the minister planned to level all the fields in Beizhili according to the practice of Changping. ”

Zhu Youzhen felt that what he said was not direct enough:

"Be slow with the people, and speak to those who don't understand until they understand. For those landlords, you have a reason in your hands and a knife. Obedient, those who want to exchange their fields for real estate in the county, and those who are willing to split the family, will be rewarded more, and those who should be reduced or reduced will be reduced when necessary. For those who are full of evil deeds, those who take advantage of the plunder, those who are boiling with public resentment, and the knife is sometimes more useful than the truth. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Qin Liangyu again,

"The old general will stay by my side, and together with the ministers, see how I can tear off the bloodsucking worms attached to Da Ming's body bit by bit."

And they all stood up, bowed together, and said:

"As my emperor wishes!"

Zhu Youzhen feels that many times, many things are actually decided on another casual occasion, but the more formal the occasion, the more concerns people have, and the more untrue the words in their mouths. It's like in the splendid Jinluan Palace, these people will never behave like this, and many things will become discussed again and again, but not decided.

In his mind, the place that can be controlled can be called the Ming Dynasty, as for Jiangnan, as for the Tianshan Mountains, as for Heishui, as for Taiwan. Now for him, there are fortresses that need to be reconquered.

The next atmosphere should have been to drink, but Zhu Youzhen knew that there was a King Qin outside.

"King Xuanqin, come in."

Wang Chengen has been standing in the corner for a long time. The emperor rested, he couldn't rest, and the emperor could only be awake when he was awake. Many times, Wang Chengen will hold a very short incense stick in his hand, so as to ensure that he can squint for a while when he has nothing to do, and when the incense stick burns in his hand, he will also wake up and continue to wait for the call of His Majesty the Emperor.

King Qin was a little faltering when he came in, and he had been standing outside the door for too long. In fact, what is even more worrying is that he doesn't know what he has to face today.

The fields that should be handed over in Shaanxi have also been handed over by themselves. When His Majesty the Emperor summoned the kings to Beijing, the other vassal kings still had many reasons to delay, and only he came to Beijing as soon as possible. For him, the status of vassal king is now even more of a burden. He didn't have any ambitions, so he could only watch his obviously talented children be caged like pigs in King Qin's mansion. It's not as good as the civilians, and there is a world where they are allowed to do what they do.

Today, he also sees countless patrols outside his door. I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, the teams led by various generals have walked past me all the way.

Zhu Youzhen knew that this was the last straw he put on the remaining vassal kings. For this, he didn't even feel the need to avoid the courtiers present.

As soon as King Qin came in, he saw that the ministers were there, but he was relieved.

"I arranged for the accounting field supervision of the thirteen provinces a few years ago, and the results of the seven provinces have been reported so far. But the only thing missing is the feudal kings of various places. ”

Without the vassal king's land, the land scale is a joke.

Da Ming's rules are very strange. The central court and successive emperors seemed to feel that their land was endless. On the one hand, he was guarding against the vassal king, for fear that there would be another rebel. On the one hand, during the New Year's holidays, various excuses were given to the vassal kings to reward land, and the amount was very large and the location was very good. At the same time, the imperial court also had to bear the huge living expenses of the vassal king.

"I now ask the King of Qin to inspect the vassal kings of the world. Start with Henan Fuwang. One is the number of fields. The second is the population, and the third is the amount of silver grain. Finally, I have to ask for me, if you are sick, are you cured? Riding a horse and breaking a leg, is the leg healed? If you don't have money to eat, are you full now? ”

King Qin knew that this was a pit, and he was trembling and unwilling to accept it, but he did not dare to object.

Han Ying also felt that his Emperor Majesty's battlefield was a bit too much, and he could get a vassal king, and at the same time, he couldn't get by?

Zhu Youzhen doesn't care, once he thinks about his power territory clearly, the rest is nothing more than making it all over again. What's more, what Qin Liangyu didn't know was that his white pole army was actually the main force of Zhu Youzhen's own rebellion.

"The cabinet is out of the ranks, and the military department is out of the ranks. King Qin's safety must still be guaranteed. ”

Zhu Youzhen said.

"For the King of Qin, if he can return to Beijing on time and as promised, the children who do not accept the title can all go out and do business, and they don't have to be all confined in the mansion."

After that, he looked at King Qin. I'm preparing for war, and if you don't want it, you'll have to put me on top.

"Obey." King Qin bowed helplessly. Or, exchanging yourself for a cage makes sense.
