Zhu Di looked at the ministers, and then said, "What do you think?" ”

The officials were silent.

Zhu Di smiled: "Zhu Qing doesn't say anything, it seems that he is not good at this, so he might as well let the prince and Zhang Qing draw up candidates." ”

Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Anshi said: "Obey the order." ”

After the retreat from the dynasty.

Zhu Gaochi's brows were tightly locked, and Zhang Anshi was also extremely depressed.

The two of them stared at each other, only Yang Shiqi followed behind, following in the same direction, with a calm face.

Zhu Gaochi sighed and said, "Father is really a strong man!" The face of the hundred officials, An Shi, you have seen it, it is really like a mourning. This time the damage to them is really not small, and now my father and the emperor let us elect ministers, if the choice is not good, even if we enter the court, I am afraid that this person will be targeted by hundreds of officials, and the time will ...... I'm afraid I'm going to make a stumbling block. ”

No matter how gentle Zhu Gaochi is, he is also guarded.

If Zhu Di directly agreed to this charter, it would be an established fact.

I just want to give it a try, and let Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Anshi choose someone to enter the court, you can imagine what kind of situation this person will face once he enters the court.

And it's really hard to be sure of such a candidate.

Zhang Anshi also sighed and said, "Blame me, if it weren't for my reluctance to Yang Shiqi......"

Zhu Gaochi pressed his hand, and wanted to say something like not having to blame himself.

At this time, Yang Shiqi, who had been silent, said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Wuhu County, in fact, ...... Candidates have already been available. ”

Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Anshi both looked at Yang Shiqi and said in unison: "Who"

"Former scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and now Shi Jiejin, the head of King Zhao's Mansion!" Yang Shiqi is categorical.

Zhu Gaochi was thoughtful.

Zhang Anshi's face changed: "This rotten person? ”

Yang Shiqi was not in a hurry, but said slowly: "Duke Xie has experience in entering the cabinet, and he has the qualifications to sharpen in Java, and Duke Xie has great talents, and he is a person who hides needles in Mianli, so invite him to enter the court, or he can resist the open guns and hidden arrows in the court." Meantime...... Want...... It can also cope with complicated government affairs. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Wuhu County, this recommendation is related to the national policy of the Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Wuhu County for the future. What does it matter if the stakes are significant, personal prejudices? The most important thing is ...... To cope with the current situation, the big husband is informal, and there are few personal grievances, which is not enough to worry about! ”

Yang Shiqi said.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Anshi were silent again.

After a while, Zhang Anshi said: "I'm afraid that this person's heart is not correct and his character is corrupt......"

Yang Shiqi glanced at Zhang Anshi with a complicated look, and then quickly staggered his gaze.

Zhang Anshi was looked at strangely by this glance, and couldn't help but say, "Yang Gong, what do you mean by this?" ”

Yang Shiqi hurriedly said: "Minister...... Nothing interesting......"

Zhang Anshi was not the one who broke the sand nest and asked the end, so he sighed: "Right now, I have to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, hey...... That's it, that's it. ”

Zhu Gaochi said: "Then the palace will be on the book tomorrow......"

Yang Shiqi shook his head and said, "Your Highness, no, I will write tomorrow......... It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too determined, which will make people think that this is the result of the trade-off between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Wuhu County. The hundred officials in the court and the central government are all good at speculating on people's hearts, and according to the views of the ministers, they might as well be delayed, showing hesitation, which can paralyze the hundred officials and make the hundred officials think that this dismissal is not a real candidate with a solid consensus, but just a ...... It's just a last resort. ”

Zhu Gaochi said: "......"

"Besides......" Yang Shiqi continued slowly: "When the time comes, I beg Your Highness to remember that you must not let the Xie Jinju clan move back to the capital, but only allow Xie Jin to enter the court. As for his children, His Highness has to find a way to let them continue to be sent by King Zhao in Java. ”

Zhu Gaochi: "......"

Zhang Anshi's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Yang Gong is like me, and I am also so far-sighted!" Yes, yes, leave his family in Java. ”

Zhu Gaochi sighed and said: "It seems that it has to be like this, so let's wait in the palace for half a month, and after half a month, I will go to the book and report, what do you think?" ”

"Enough." Yang Shiqi smiled.

The big thing was agreed, although the three of them were still quite unsure, but at the moment, it seemed that Yang Shiqi's proposal was indeed the best choice.

So, Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Anshi both breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that this matter has been concluded, Zhang Anshi has the heart to think about other things, so he said: "Our ship, have you built it?" ”

Yang Shiqi said: "Back to His Royal Highness, it has been made." Your Royal Highness can rest assured that this ship has undergone several sea trials, and this time, the minister personally took this ship to the mouth of the Songjiang River, and all the indicators are far beyond the lucky ship. ”

"That's fine." Zhang Anshi smiled with satisfaction: "Yang Gong is really my Zhang Liang." ”

When the words came out, he suddenly felt speechless, and then said: "No, no, no, it should be the king's Fan Zengcai, and Zhang Liang can't afford to be the king." ”

Zhu Gaochi and Yang Shiqi both looked at Zhang Anshi with extremely strange eyes.

Zhang Anshi realized that this kind of comparison seemed to be very inappropriate, so he had to spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Let's put it bluntly, this king has no culture, so he has to lie and make analogies." You don't suspect that I want to be Liu Bang or the overlord of Chu, right? ”

Yang Shiqi reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Your Highness has Liu Chan's qualifications." ”

Zhang Anshi: "......"

He couldn't tell for a moment whether Yang Shiqi was relieving him of the siege, or eating the bear's heart and leopard gall, and he wanted to devour the lord with his ministers.

led Yang Shiqi back to the county king's mansion, naturally he had to have a long talk with Yang Shiqi, about the matter of Xinzhou, Zhang Anshi of course wanted to try his best to understand.

After all, this new continent is the foundation of the descendants of the Zhang family in the future!

And Yang Shiqi also understood Zhang Anshi's thoughts, and with the greatest patience, he told the situation in Xinzhou 1510.

In Yang Shiqi's report to Zhu Di, in fact, the situation in Xinzhou is relatively general, but what Zhang Anshi talked about is another situation.

Now Xinzhou has begun to take shape. At this time, it is precisely a bottleneck, and to put it bluntly, it still requires manpower.

If you want manpower, you can only hit the idea to Daming.

Yang Shiqi came here this time for this, and he planned to launch a marketing campaign for Daming.

And if you want to market, you need all kinds of means. In any case, anyway, things like political communication, prosperity and happiness have to be used.

Not only that, but in addition to this, it is a matter of vigorously developing shipbuilding.

Xinzhou is far away in a corner of the world, and it is not in a critical position. This makes it so that for Yang Shiqi, in addition to traditional mining, animal husbandry and farming, Xinzhou must have a real industry, so that Xinzhou can become the most indispensable part of the Ming Dynasty tributary system.

In the Changshi Mansion in Xinzhou, after many discussions, coupled with many times of communication with Zhang Anshi, Yang Shiqi finally chose the shipbuilding industry.

The advantage of shipbuilding is that it is not an industry, to build a large ship, it requires a lot of machinery manufacturing, but also a lot of canvas, wood, steel, can drive many workshops, around this shipbuilding industry, eventually derived a huge industry.

But...... To compete with the Ming Dynasty in the shipbuilding industry, how easy it is to say! If you don't have something, it's impossible.

The biggest advantage of New Island is that this large continent has almost no human development, which means that most of the resources are extremely rich.

Therefore, the forestry of New Island is also second to none, although it is not as good as the Western Ocean, but there is enough timber to build large ships.

In addition, it was Zhang Anshi who encouraged the Xinzhou shipbuilding industry to try to iron and steel, that is, to manufacture ironclad ships.

For the most important thing an ironclad ship needs is coal and iron. These two resources are the most abundant resources in New Island. Now that there is a steam engine, it may not be impossible for Xinzhou to desperately throw down the silver and build an ironclad ship.

Once it can be built, then cheap coal and iron can be converted into shipbuilding, and it is enough to become the pearl of the world's shipbuilding industry.

Of course, it is not easy to build such a ship. Even now, the shipbuilding of Xinzhou is only trying, using steel skins to wrap wooden ships, plus a small steam engine, which is quite nondescript.

And the cost is very high, before the cost can not be suppressed, it is obviously impossible for any civilian or merchant ship to choose such a ship.

Then the only way to continue this kind of construction is the Xinzhou Water Division.

The sailor allocates a huge amount of money every year to allow the major dockyards to continue to deepen the design and construction of ironclad ships.

When this ironclad ship matures, then this shipbuilding will become the pillar of Xinzhou.

And because of the extremely cheap coal and iron, it means that even in the future, the technology and craftsmanship of ironclad ships will be popularized, and the ironclad ships of Xinzhou will at least gain a huge advantage in cost.

So Yang Shiqi said to Zhang Anshi: "Your Highness, this time the ministers are here to recruit more craftsmen, there are too many craftsmen needed for this ironclad ship, especially the gap between blacksmiths and shipbuilders and mechanics, at least around 30,000. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Although Xinzhou is vast, but in fact, it is still a small feudal country, if you want to be unique, you can only do it in accordance with the national policy set by the Changshi Mansion, since you have this plan, you must go all out, no matter what method you use, what kind of means, what kind of price to pay!" ”

"Therefore, this shortage of manpower must be filled, and if the silver and Xinzhou's finances and taxes are insufficient, then the county king's mansion will pay for it! If you can't recruit people for twenty taels of silver a year, then you can't recruit thirty taels, and if you can't recruit thirty taels, then you can't recruit fifty taels, and you can't recruit fifty taels...... That's one hundred taels, as long as it's a person, wealth can move his heart, don't be afraid to spend money, don't keep a small account, if you want to calculate it, even if it's a big account, we are not doing business, we are governing a feudal country, then we have to have a long-term vision. So...... You just have to do it. ”

Yang Shiqi smiled slightly and said: "Actually, the minister also has this intention, just wait for His Highness's words." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Haha, is it? ”

Yang Shiqi became serious: "Your Majesty wants the minister to enter the cabinet, but the minister refused, not that this entry into the cabinet to become a scholar is not the intention of the minister, but the minister's refusal is still from the bottom of his heart." ”

Zhang Anshi couldn't help but be stunned: "Why is this? ”

Yang Shiqi said: "Because in the Ming Dynasty." Even if you enter the cabinet, you still have to face heavy constraints, and there are always people who want to tie up the hands and feet of the ministers. But in Xinzhou, His Royal Highness and the minister's mind are connected, and His Royal Highness can support everything, and the minister only needs to break the kettle and sink the boat, so that a place can be governed, so that the ambition of the husband can be in vain, which is enough to comfort his life. ”

Yang Shiqi thought for a while, and added: "Your Highness, the official position is not about the size of the official, but whether people can get value from it. If it's just to steal a high position, I'm afraid it will be difficult to become a climate. ”

Zhang Anshi looked at Yang Shiqi's gaze more and more appreciatively, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This king didn't look at the wrong person, work hard!" ”

Half a month later, a letter was finally sent to the palace.

When Zhu Di saw Xie Jin's words, his brows furrowed slightly, revealing a contemplative look.

He also didn't have a very good impression of Xie Jin.

After all, a person is too smart, and people like Zhu Di definitely don't like it.

Yao Guangxiao also has wisdom, but Yao Guangxiao's wisdom is reflected in his conspiracy.

He will not only use many means, but he will also be by Zhu Di's side, encourage Zhu Di from the bottom of his heart, and after Zhu Di is frustrated, rationally analyze the interests of Zhu Di and restore Zhu Di's confidence.

After pondering for a long time, Zhu Di still drew a circle on the prince's recital.

turned to Yishu and said: "Issue an edict, edict to enter the court, serve as the crown prince and prince, and be a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion." ”

When he heard the word Xie Jin, he thought he had misheard.

An accident is an accident, but he didn't make any comments, but said, "The slave obeys." ”

The newspaper quickly copied the news.

When the news came out, hundreds of officials talked about it.

They were very worried about Zhang Anshi's charter.

Don't worry about being fake, the previous New Deal, just thinking about your family's land.

But in any case, the hundred officials have become ministers of the imperial court, and the land at home is important, but the black yarn hat is the guy they really eat.

Once this matter is a foregone conclusion, it means that in the future, if you want to be an official, especially if you want to rise to prominence, you will have to suffer a lot of hardship and suffering in the future, which will be fifteen to twenty years.

What's more, even if you survive this, God knows if the imperial court will recruit you back?

Don't hit the dog with meat buns and never go back, then you really have to sigh. And this sigh of hope is by no means a metaphor, it is physical.

At this time, the vast majority of the officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee were cold-eyed bystanders.

Until the final decision in the palace came out, it caused many people to whisper.

People are thinking about this, that Yang Shiqi does seem to be a talent, as for Xie Jin...... His Royal Highness hesitated for so long before he recommended Xie Gong, it must be Xie Gong...... There are many things that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or Zhang Anshi are not satisfied with.

It's just that for a while, there is no other choice, so I have to bite the bullet.

Liberating the public and entering the court, the blessings and disasters are unpredictable, but ...... No matter what, it should be easier to deal with than Yang Shiqi.

…………

Two months later.

Java.

Zhao Wangfu.

Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, looked at the edict at this time, with a complicated expression.

He took the edict and called the eunuch to show it to Xie Jin.

After Xie Jin saw it, he was also silent.

The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other for a long time.

Zhu Gaosui finally spoke: "Xie Gong, what do you think?" ”

Xie Jin said: "What does His Royal Highness King Zhao think?" ”

Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui smiled bitterly.

Xie Jin saw that he didn't speak, so he said: "Then the minister will say it directly, Your Highness is happy and worried, and the worry is that Your Highness lost the minister's right-hand man for a while, so he regretted it." The joy is that the minister and His Royal Highness know each other, if they can enter the cabinet, His Royal Highness will be in the court, like a tiger with wings, at least ...... On the side of Java, there is no fear that the imperial court will change its decree overnight, and change the trade policy without authorization, so that His Royal Highness King Zhao will fall into an embarrassing situation, and the minister will definitely try his best to make the imperial court more inclined to trade and trade, and strengthen the liaison with the vassal states, which will be of great benefit to the future of Java. ”

Zhu Gaosui said: "After all, the temple is too old-fashioned, even if there are always people promoting the new policy and trade, but after all, the pace is still too slow. ”

"So Your Highness wants the minister to go?"

"But this king is reluctant to ......," Zhu Gaosui began to wipe his tears.

Zhu Gaosui's hypocrisy is purely that dogs can't change their eating, anyway, all kinds of coy gestures and cover-up methods are really reaching.

This...... In fact, Xie Jin is the same.

Because Xie Jin also shed tears, the two monarchs and ministers, with tears in their eyes, Zhu Gaosui reluctantly grabbed Xie Jin's hand, and Xie Jin also held Zhu Gaosui's arm with one hand, and both of them choked.

"How can the minister be willing to give up His Highness? Hearing this, the minister ...... The five are burned, and the grief is overwhelming. ”

Zhu Gaosui sniffed, and said with red eyes: "It's painful, it's painful, it's a pity that the order of the monarch is difficult to disobey." ”

Xie Jin sobbed silently and said, "Your Highness......"

Zhu Gaosui said sincerely: "This king will take care of your relatives, you ...... You can go with confidence. ”

"Your Royal Highness......" Xie Jin bowed, kowtowed, and tears rained down: "The ministers are reluctant......"

"Hey......" Zhu Gaosui said sadly: "Duke Xie thinks, who can take over Changshi?" ”

Xie Jin finally put away his tears and said seriously: "How is Liu Jian of Wenzuo of the Changshi Mansion?" ”

Liu Jian, the secretary of the Changshi Mansion, isn't this a joke? This person is too low-qualified, and although he has intelligence, it is absolutely impossible.

So Zhu Gaosui shook his head and said, "No." ”

Xie Jin said again: "What about Chen Tai of the Yibin Division? ”

Zhu Gaosui continued to shake his head and said, "The Yibin Mansion is in charge of guest affairs, and does not deal with practical things. Chen Tai has no experience in taking charge alone, how can he govern the Changshi Mansion? ”

Xie Jin mentioned a few more people, but Zhu Gaosui was not satisfied.

In fact, several candidates proposed by Xie Jin perfectly avoided Zhu Gaosui's expectations.

Either they have experience but no ability to deal with practical things, or they are quite capable but have no qualifications.

Several people with both qualifications and abilities were perfectly avoided by Xie Jin.

Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui kept shaking his head, saying no.

At this time, Xie Jin raised his head, blinked, and suddenly said, "How does Your Highness think of Wu'er?" ”

Zhu Gaosui: "......"

Some people died, but not completely......
