"Long live, the Fifth Highness asks to see ......"

When Zhu Youzhen thought about the talents he had chosen, he came to the Qianqing Palace with the list.

With Wei Zhongxian's communication, Zhu Youxiao, who was doing carpentry work, hurriedly greeted:

"Wait, let's carry this wooden boat in and hide it."

Zhu Youxiao has a weak heart, not because of the government, but because he and Zhu Youzhen boasted about their shipwright skills.

But now the small boat he built is at most an apprentice's craft, and if he is seen by his younger brother, won't his majesty as an elder brother be disgraced?

The little eunuchs next to him rushed out one after another, carrying the two small boats and hiding in a side hall of the Qianqing Palace, and Wei Zhongxian saw this, so he preached to the outside world:

"Emperor Xuan's fifth brother enters the palace."

Hearing the summons, Zhu Youzhen sorted out his mood because of the hunger in Huaibei, and then took Wang Chengen in.

After he entered, he only saw the good royal brother in his middle coat, but he didn't see the wood, and he was a little curious.

However, this curiosity is not his main purpose, but to seize the position of many parties in Qichu, Zhejiang, Xuankun after the failure of the party struggle.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen walked next to the good imperial brother and said:

"Brother, I heard that the party struggle is over, so I specially sent you a few talents."

He didn't hide it, anyway, for him, he just wanted to let himself and his good brother live and not let Jianyu enter the customs.

"Devouring the Starry Sky: Signing in to Become a God"

If the good imperial brother feels that he is annoyed, he will take someone to the domain.

"Talent? What talent? Tell me about it? Zhu Youxiao asked someone to put on his regular clothes, Wei Zhongxian's hands were quick, and Wang Tiqian also followed to help.

In the face of inquiry, Zhu Youzhen also directly took out the list and said:

"Yuan Keli, Henan Provincial Imperial History Xu Guangqi, Xu Guangqi's disciple Sun Yuanhua, Shandong Xuezheng Mei Zhihuan, Luoyang Zhixian Chen Qiyu, Household Servant Li Changgeng, Taifu Temple Qing Bi Ziyan"

"Well, among the people you mentioned, I know Yuan Keli and Xu Guangqi, Li Changgeng, and Bi Ziyan." Zhu Youxiao got dressed and pulled Zhu Youjian to sit on the left and right main seats in the main hall.

"However, I haven't heard of Mei Zhihuan, Chen Qiyu, and Sun Yuanhua."

"Li Changgeng is already a household servant, how do you want to call him?"

Zhu Youxiao is the emperor, and he can still find some talents, especially the names of talents that are frequently heard.

Li Changgeng, Bi Ziyan, and Yuan Keli were very famous during the Wanli period, and it was impossible for him not to know.

Still, he wanted to know where his brother was going to transfer them.

Regarding his doubts, Zhu Youzhen explained:

"Yuan Keli is strict and good at strategy, I want to transfer him to Shandong, serve as Zuobu's political envoy, patrol Shandong and other places, supervise the camp and manage the river, and supervise military affairs."

Having said this, he continued:

"The Shandong area is one of the most important links in Caoyun, and now Jiangnan already has the supervision of the southern field of the Imperial Horse Prison, and there is only one Shandong missing."

"Well, but my brother is sure he can supervise the military?" Zhu Youxiao thought about it, and then asked.

"Naturally" Zhu Youzhen nodded and said: "If you want to reduce the burden on Liaozhen, the first thing is to transport grain. ”

"If Yuan Keli patrols Shandong and supervises Yingtian, he can directly transfer military rations from Shandong to Liaodong every year."

"Shandong has a capital command and a capital division, a total of 18 guards and 9 institutes."

"Among them, the Shandong Command Envoy is responsible for the management of the seven guards, and the remaining eleven guards are subordinate to the Shandong Beiwei Command Envoy Division."

"Because it belongs to the management of the Reserve and Japanese Division, it is called the Shandong Reserve Army."

"The Shandong Beiwei Capital Division manages the Dengzhou Battalion, the Jimo Battalion and the Wendeng Battalion, and each battalion manages part of the guards."

"Among them, the Dengzhou battalion is responsible for managing Dengzhou Wei, Qingzhou Zuowei and Laizhou Wei, Wendeng Battalion is responsible for managing Weihaiwei, Ninghaiwei, Chengshanwei and Jinghaiwei, and Jimo Battalion is responsible for Dasongwei, Aoshanwei, Lingshanwei and Andongwei."

"However, because of the honorable man, none of the previous ministers thought about changing the law and reforming the system."

Zhu Youzhen stopped when he said this, but Zhu Youxiao's curiosity was aroused, so he asked:

"According to my younger brother, how many soldiers and horses should there be in this Beidu Division, and how many military fields?"

Zhu Youzhen went through this question in his head, and only after calculating did he say:

"The Dengzhou battalion of the Shandong Beiwei Army has a total of 1,524 officers and soldiers and 540 war horses, and the Wendeng battalion has a total of 1,140 officers and soldiers and 440 war horses. As for the strength of the Jimo battalion, it is 1,320 people and 420 horses. ”

"Therefore, the total strength of the three battalions is 3,984 people, 1,400 war horses, and the camp field is ten acres per person, that is, less than 40,000 acres."

"As for the guards under the jurisdiction of the three battalions, there are a total of 11 guards, a total of 61,600 military households, and 3.08 million military tuntian."

"As for the Shandong Metropolitan Command Division, there are seven guards and nine offices under its jurisdiction, with a total of 48,200 military households and 2.41 million military tuntian."

"Combined, the two divisions are a total of 109,800 military households, 5.49 million mu of military tun fields, and 39,840 mu of camp fields."

After Zhu Youzhen's explanation, a huge organization appeared in Zhu Youxiao's mind.

Moreover, this data was left over from the Zhu Di period, and now two hundred years have passed, and the 100,000 military households may have grown to hundreds of thousands of households, and the military tuntian and camp fields may have been secretly expanded several times.

Therefore, when he finished talking about this string of data, not only the good royal brother was in reverie, but so was Zhu Youzhen.

Historically, Yuan Keli only patrolled for three years, and then he rectified military discipline, trained sailors, built many warships, and added forts along the coast.

The formation of "a hundred miles of chess, full of foot to spread the beacon" of the horn of the momentum, so that Denglai greatly strengthened the armament, become the island base of the Liaodong front.

and plotted against Liu Aita and recovered southern Liaoning, and greatly contained and weakened the combat effectiveness of the Houjin in the Mingshan Customs area with the power of Denglai and the two places.

It is the only Denglai governor who was included in the Dengzhou Famous Eunuch Temple, which created the heyday of the military war in Dengzhou Water City.

Just by using the camp and guard field of Denglai and the two places, he set up a water division of more than 50,000 people, and if Yuan Keli can be allowed to patrol Shandong at the moment, then with his ability, he may be able to clean up all the army tuntian and camp field of Shandong Bei Wa Du Division in a very short time.

"My brother is so confident in Yuan Keli's talents? Do you really think that he alone can clean up the entire Shandong Bei Du Division? ”

Zhu Youxiao suddenly spoke, but the answer to this question was already in Zhu Youzhen's heart, and he nodded to Zhu Youxiao:

"If Yuan Keli can't, then there is no second person in the world who can do it."

"Good!" Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao also had confidence.

In the two months since he succeeded to the throne, Zhu Youzhen's various plans against him have not failed, which has greatly strengthened the imperial power, so this time he is still ready to trust his younger brother.

"Since this is the case, then Zhongxian, you drafted a holy decree, transferred Yuan Keli to Shandong, and took up the post of political envoy of Shandong Chengxuan Si Zuobu political envoy, governor of Shandong Province, rectify Shandong's military affairs, camp fields, and prepare for the Japanese capital division army Tuntian."

"Slave and maid lead the ......" Wei Zhongxian was terrified in his heart, not surprised that Yuan Keli could take these official positions, but surprised by Zhu Youzhen's influence.

Governor of Shandong, and then lead the political envoy, this is tantamount to handing over the entire government and military affairs of Shandong to Yuan Keli, only the Shandong Metropolitan Department of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies is not controlled.

Such a big power was only determined by Zhu Youzhen's recommendation, and this kind of influence was incomparable to Wei Zhongxian and his own Hakka family.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian resisted the idea of turning his face with Zhu Youzhen for a short time.

He had no doubt that as long as he turned his face with Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Youxiao would dare to kill him......

With worries, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly called someone to draft the holy decree, and Zhu Youxiao listened to what his younger brother said so much about Shandong, and was even more curious about where he would use the remaining few people.

"Where are the other people my brother said?"

Seeing that the good imperial brother asked again, Zhu Youzhen continued:

"In recent years, Shaanxi has been corrupt officials, resulting in a lack of water conservancy, and if there is another drought, I am afraid it will cause something more serious than the famine in Huaibei."

"I thought that Xu Guangqi could arrange to go to Shaanxi to serve as a political envoy to rectify the rule of officials and build water conservancy."

"Mei Zhihuan is brave and strategic, although he is a civil servant, he dared to try archery with the material official when he was a teenager, and then Mei Zhihuan hit nine shots and nine hits, and he walked away on the horse."

"In recent years, the Tumut Mongols have seriously invaded Qinghai to the south, and the three victories in Huangzhong have not hurt them."

"So I'm going to transfer him to Gansu to take up the post of governor, and in addition to rectifying the Gansu army, I'm actively preparing for war."

"And Li Changgeng's words, now that the Nanjing Household Department Shangshu is vacant, it is just right to transfer Li Changgeng to go, he has no party or faction, and he is an honest and honest official, and he is most suitable for the position of Nanjing Household Secretary."

"Bi Ziyan should be put in Shanxi to rectify government affairs and military affairs."

"Chen Qiyu has served as a county magistrate in Luoyang for many years and is familiar with Henan, so he was promoted to the prefect of Luoyang, and it is good to restrain King Fu from encroaching on the fields."

"If you can do it later, you can be promoted to the political envoy of Henan."

Zhu Youzhen's thoughts were all said, and the arrangement was arranged from Nanzhili to Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, and Gansu.

To put it bluntly, it is to rectify military affairs, prevent military salaries from being privately swallowed by upper-level officials, and then let upper-level officials supervise middle-level generals and accurately distribute them to non-commissioned officers.

Of course, this cannot be as easy as it is said, and there must be a lot of difficulties in it.

But if these people can't even overcome these difficulties, then they can be replaced.

However, when Zhu Youzhen said this, the good imperial brother did not speak, but pondered silently in a daze.

Zhu Youzhen was not in a hurry, and sat next to him and waited for the good imperial brother to speak.

After a while, Brother Hao Huang spoke: "Yuan Keli's matter can be decided, Mei Zhihuan can also do it, Li Changgeng and Bi Ziyan can also do it." ”

"Xu Guangqi can also do it, but his apprentice and Chen Qiyu's words will be put on hold for the time being, and I will make a decision when I think about it."

"Good!" Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen was not surprised.

At present, Sun Yuanhua is just a lifter, and Chen Qiyu has no outstanding political achievements, so it is normal not to use the two of them.

And this is just a shelving, not a complete veto, that is, there is still a chance.

When he was thinking so, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen looked up, but saw Wang An, who had a calm face, walking in.

"Wang An, you came just in time." Zhu Youxiao just smiled, but Wang An knelt down and said:

"Long live, the slave maid heard that the southern field of the Imperial Horse Prison was going to be set up, and I hereby ask Long Live to transfer the slave and maid to the southern field of the Imperial Horse Prison to live for a long time."

The words immediately shook the hearts of the three people.

Zhu Youxiao thought he had heard it wrong, but Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian smiled in their hearts.

"Long live, slave maid, please go to the south field of the Imperial Horse Prison to recuperate." Wang An still stubbornly spoke, which made Zhu Youxiao frown slightly and said:

"This eunuch of the southern field of the Imperial Horse Prison is chosen by the fifth brother of the emperor, and it is not something you can go to if you want to."

"Now that there is no one in the inner court, you can stay for the time being."

Zhu Youxiao's toughness exceeded Zhu Youjian's and Wang An's expectations, mainly because Zhu Youzhen helped Zhu Youxiao too much, so that Zhu Youxiao's dependence on Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family did not increase.

This is both a pro and a cons, Wang An, after using habits, Zhu Youxiao still likes him a lot.

After all, Wei Zhongxian had just become the eunuch of the palm seal of the Shangdong Factory, and according to the rule, he could not be the eunuch of the master of ceremonies.

Therefore, but Wang An retreated, and Zhu Youxiao had to fall into the choice of letting Wei Zhongxian be the master of ceremonies and the eunuch in charge of the seal, or continue to stay in the East Factory.

"Okay, you can step aside, communicate some of the things I said to my brother and Zhongxian just now, and issue a holy decree if there is no problem."

didn't give Wang An a chance to continue, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and directly reprimanded him to leave.

Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to make Zhu Youxiao angry, so he hurriedly walked into the side hall, and Wang An sighed and followed in.

After they left, Zhu Youxiao turned his head to look at Zhu Youzhen and said:

"What is my brother going to arrange for the matter of the South Field of the Imperial Horse Prison?"

Zhu Youzhen had already answered his question, so he said without thinking:

"First of all, the gentry and businessmen involved in the eucalyptus will be raided, and then Lu Wenzhao will be asked to investigate secretly, which can not be made public, but there must be evidence of the crimes of other officials of Nanzhili who are involved in the eucalyptus."

"As for the southern field of the Imperial Horse Prison, you can ask Qi Yuanfu to directly take people there and train in the southern field of the Imperial Horse Prison for three months."

"The autumn tax and the additional silver will be transported north by Lu Wenzhao's order for a thousand brocade clothes."

"The remaining 3,000 Jinyi guards and Qi Yuanfu's 8,000 Zhejiang soldiers are responsible for measuring and filling the acres of land in the Imperial Horse Prison, and then all the tenants will be incorporated into the Imperial Horse Prison, and the fields will be made by human hair."

"This acre belongs to the imperial court, and they are only responsible for farming, and the imperial horse supervisor is seventy-three points."

"I have made preliminary calculations, and these acres of land involving the gentry and grain merchants should be at least three million mu."

"Three million acres of cultivated land, in terms of the yield per mu of Huai'an Mansion, three stones a year, one mu of land can be distributed to 140 catties of grain, and there are 120 catties after the handover of Tianfu and Liaoxiang."

"That is to say, every year, about 3 million mu of cultivated land, can produce at least 2.3 million stone grain."

"Of course, if there are more acres of land measured, then the output will be more, which is completely enough to feed the current Seven Guards and One Battalion of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and even after the Seven Guards and One Battalion are transferred to supervise Ji Liao, Ji Liao's military salary can also be guaranteed."

"If the operation is done properly, you can increase the income of at least one million taels of silver for the internal money."

Zhu Youzhen's words made Zhu Youxiao's eyes light up.

Although the annual income of the internal treasury is 6 million taels, that was before the abolition of the mining tax, and now that the mining tax has been abolished, it is not known how much the internal income will be in the next year.

The mining tax should be abolished, because the impact is too bad, and the silver is too tainted by the eunuchs.

It can be said that in the mining tax during the Wanli period, the eunuchs exploited a large number of people in the process of collecting them.

Collect the mining tax of the gentry, the landlord, the common people, and even the peasant households.

Where are there so many mine taxes?

It was originally a good way to increase income, but it was played by Wanli and the group of eunuchs under him and became a tax that everyone hated.

In the future, even if Zhu Youxiao and the others want to collect mining taxes, it is estimated that they will have to change their names.

However, if the South Field of the Imperial Horse Prison is successfully established and operated correctly, it can increase the revenue of the internal treasury as Zhu Youzhen said.

Zhu Youxiao may move more, abolish the guards, and clean up the Taifu Temple.

It's just that Zhu Youzhen didn't know his idea.

Seeing that the good royal brother didn't speak, Zhu Youzhen said again:

"The addition of the southern field of the Imperial Horse Prison is mainly to open the way to the south for the imperial store."

"I will open 37 imperial stores in Xuzhou and Huai'an after that, and operate some imperial store things."

"But I'm a little worried that after the Donglin Party is in power now, I'm afraid their new policy will be anticlimactic."

Zhu Youzhen's position changed in an instant, which Zhu Youxiao did not expect.

Seeing this, he smiled and said, "Didn't you say before that the Donglin Party is good for the imperial court?" ”

"It's good, but that's before." Zhu Youzhen sighed and said:

"In the Donglin Party, except for a small number of capable officials, most of them are boastful."

"Reducing land taxes, mining taxes, and customs duties sounds beneficial to the people, but whether it can really benefit the people when it is implemented, the ministers are not on the side of the Donglin Party."

It is not so much that Zhu Youzhen supports the Donglin Party, but that he supports Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Yuan Keli, Liu Yixian and others.

Even he had already thought about a plan to let Wei Zhongxian appear on the stage in advance and kill the group of officials in the Donglin Party who only knew about rhetoric.

But......

Thinking of the students who had just studied in Yanshan, Zhu Youzhen still decided to endure it.

It will take at least five years for the children of Yanshan Institute to become professionals.

When the time comes, the good royal brother will not be afraid of no obedient people.

Kill Wenchen, and then use the students of Yanshan Institute to top it.

In ancient times, as an official, as long as you can do arithmetic, plus you have your own backers and helpers, and you know a little about civil engineering and water conservancy construction projects, it is best to know how to organize military affairs before joining the army, which is enough to act as the county commander of a county.

In five years, Zhu Youzhen wanted to train hundreds of such officials and tens of thousands of honest officials.

As long as it becomes a scale, Yanshan can produce hundreds of officials and thousands of honest officials every year.

In the Ming Dynasty, there is only Zhu Yuanzhang, who plays the country vividly.

As long as there is a steady stream of officials, regardless of whether they will be corrupt in the future or not, they can be killed!

"I'm glad my brother understands this."

Zhu Youxiao suddenly spoke with a smile in his eyes, and Zhu Youzhen also said helplessly when he heard this:

"I originally protected Yang Lian and suggested that my brother start the Donglin Party, but it was just because the Donglin Party could fight against the five parties of Qi, Chu, Zhejiang, Xuankun and Kun."

"Now that the five parties are losing power, they will not be able to deal a heavy blow to Donglin in at least three years, but my brother is estimated to be annoyed in the past three years."

"In that group of Donglin, most of them only know how to talk about it, I'm afraid that no matter what my brother does in the future, he will be discussed by them."

"Haha!" Zhu Youxiao said with a smile:

"I am the Son of Heaven, so why should I be afraid of them? If it's too annoying, I'll fight them. ”

"Hehe......" Zhu Youzhen couldn't help laughing when he looked at the good royal brother's joking appearance, and then quipped:

"It's one thing whether my brother fights in the court or not, but it's my position as the queen's sister-in-law, and I don't know when someone will be able to sit on it."

"Haha, brother, don't worry, the cabinet will draft girls in a while, and you will go with me then." Zhu Youxiao smiled evilly, and Zhu Youzhen looked hairy.

After that, the two chatted for a while, mainly because Zhu Youxiao was asking Zhu Youzhen why the bottom of the boat in his drawing paper was different from Daming's boat.

Zhu Youzhen, who can explain this, explained, but he really doesn't know anything about shipbuilding, so he can't answer most of Zhu Youxiao's questions.

The two chatted until dinner and late at night, and finally Zhu Youxiao pulled Zhu Youzhen to spend the night in the Qianqing Palace.

It's just that when the two of them were lying on the bed, they couldn't say anything.

After a while, Zhu Youxiao spoke: "Today is my mother's birthday......

Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen also turned over, lay on the bed, looked at the good royal brother who was looking directly at the top of the bed and said, "Brother misses Wang Niangniang?" ”

"I can't say I want to......" Zhu Youxiao pursed his lips, and then continued:

"These days, I can always dream of my mother, and when the poisonous woman was still there, I didn't have my mother's figure in my dreams."

"Now that the poisonous woman is dead, I dream of my mother."

"I wonder if it's because I helped my mother avenge that my mother is willing to meet me in my dreams."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Youzhen and said curiously: "Didn't my brother dream of Liu Niangniang?" ”

The sentence "......" was asked, and Zhu Youzhen was immediately silent.

He inherited the memory of the original body, when Liu died, the original body was only five years old, in his memory, he only remembered that when Zhu Changluo was beating Liu, Liu asked him to go back to the Qingong Palace.

This kind of maternal love, to be honest, even if Zhu Youzhen recalls it, he feels a sour nose.

In his previous life, he was a divorced family, and only his father raised him alone, so he did not experience the feeling of maternal love.

But in Chongzhen's memory, the picture of Liu looking at himself with pain and comforting himself back to the Qin Palace made him feel a very deep maternal love.

Zhu Changluo, what he did made his predecessor and himself have no family affection for him, and even a little hatred.

At present, his enemies seem to have died, and only one Zheng Guifei who has no great hatred is left.

Suddenly, Zhu Youzhen felt that his face was a little wet, and then he saw a hand stretched out and helped him wipe his tears.

"It's me who is not good, and I mentioned my brother's bad memories ......"

Zhu Youzhen, who realized it later, realized that he didn't know why he was in tears, and Zhu Youxiao also wiped his tears for him with apologies.

"Actually, it's not so uncomfortable......" Zhu Youzhen barely squeezed out a smile, and Zhu Youxiao felt distressed when he saw it.

It was only after he inquired that he remembered that his brother was not the same as him.

After he went to the emperor's grandfather's side, he came back to find that his mother was bullied and killed by Li Xuanzhi, while his younger brother witnessed his mother being killed by his father, the two are not the same, and the pain is not the same.

"Alas......"

With a long sigh, he gently patted Zhu Youzhen's shoulder with his hand, and slowly, both of them became sleepy......
