"I have awarded you the post of Governor of the Later Military Governor's Mansion and the Deputy Chief Military Officer of Beijing." Zhu Di said, looked at Shi Heng who was standing on the side, and said, "As Shi Heng's deputy, you will guard the Desheng Gate with him." ”

Fan Guang didn't hesitate for a moment, and immediately said: "The ministers are grateful!" Your Majesty, the minister still has one more matter, I beg your Majesty's permission! ”

"Say."

"In this battle of Deshengmen, there are three soldiers in the Shenji Battalion under the command of the minister, known as Bian Hui, He Bo, and Liu Zhiyi, please ask Your Majesty to take care of their families."

Hearing this, Zhu Di didn't say anything, just looked at him.

Fan Guang paused and continued:

"Before the war, Polo sent sentinels to patrol, and the three of them hid in the hay field without saying a word, and in the end they were all shot alive..."

"Because of this, our Shenji Battalion was able to take it by surprise and trick the Warat cavalry into entering the field, and finally annihilated nearly 10,000 enemies!"

"In this way, the three of them are the first heroes of this battle." Zhu Di's expression was a little moved, and his first thought was to see these three warriors with his own eyes and promote them for his own use.

With such a tenacious will, as long as you have a little training, you will become a great tool in the future!

The next moment, they suddenly reacted, as mentioned in the words just now, they were all killed in battle.

Zhu Di has always attached great importance to the pensions of these soldiers who died in battle, and said to the civilian officials on the side:

"The Ministry of Rites will discuss the bereavement of the families of the three Shenji Battalion soldiers, Bian Hui, He Bo, and Liu Zhiyi, and send them to the Qianqing Palace tomorrow morning for me to see."

Fan Guang cried with joy, knelt on the ground and said again and again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" The minister will go back and tell the good news to the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion! ”

"Their children must know that their fathers are heroes of the Ming Dynasty, and I will be punished for my mistakes, and I will be rewarded for my merits." Zhu Di said with a smile:

"I'll allow you to go first, go, go back and tell them."

"The minister retires, Your Majesty take care!"

Fan Guang raised his head when he heard the sound, glanced at Zhu Di deeply, got up and left.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites actually don't want to deal with it, but after all, this lord is the emperor, and the queen mother doesn't know what to do, and she hasn't been there yet, so you can't take the emperor's words as if she didn't listen to them, right?

There was no way, so the officials of the Ministry of Rites had to echo in unison.

"The ministers obey."

The matter of the reward is over, and it stands to reason that this early court meeting should be over.

But Zhu Di didn't plan to end there.

finally found an opportunity for Sun Ruowei to be absent, and he had to arrest the hearts of the army and the people?

"Who is Tobe Shangshu?" Zhu Di asked.

The ministers looked at each other, and one of them walked out of the household department and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Zuo, the head of the household department, was martyred in Tumubao, and now the household department has not made up the book." ”

"How does this work?" Zhu Di frowned.

The head of the household department is still in charge, and there is no leader in such an important department that manages money and grain.

Doesn't that mean I can appoint one today?

"Then do you have any candidates for the new household department book?"

Zhu Di looked around left and right, almost all of them were fresh faces, except for Wang Wen, the secretary of Dali Temple who had just stood up and played a round for himself, the others were not very familiar with it now.

Those people who Zhu Di used it easily are now either Zhishi, or seventy or eighty people who have entered the coffin with half their feet, and it is not realistic to reinstate these old men to return to the court as officials.

Those Jinshi in Yongle Nian used to be in charge of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Di was only concerned about beating Mongolia in person at that time, and he was not particularly familiar with the officials or anything.

If you have to choose one in a short time, you really don't know who to let go for a while.

"Your Majesty, it is Jin Lian, the left waiter of the household department who went to Fujian with Ningyang to wait for Chen Mao to pacify the thieves last year, before His Majesty succeeded to the throne, the Queen Mother had issued a decree to summon him and the two to return to Beijing."

Oh, it turns out that Sun Ruowei, the demon woman, has already chosen her person.

Zhu Di nodded, and there was no very special fluctuation.

After a while, I suddenly reacted, who and who were you talking about just now?

If I heard it right, is there another one named Chen Mao?

The new head of the household department, Jin Lian, has not yet returned to Beijing, and when the Tumubao change occurred in the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, he was ordered to pacify a thief named Deng Maoqi in Fujian.

Jin Lian was able to go to Fujian, and he had something to do with Liu Ju, the governor who is now guarding Xizhimen.

Deng Maoqi gathered a crowd to rebel in Fujian, and at first he asked Liu Ju to lead the army to conscript, thinking that it was a matter of success that could be pacified, after all, the regular army went to fight the little thief, so it was not enough to have hands?

But the problem is, I don't know if Liu Ju's ability is not good, or for some other reason, he didn't win, and he almost lost all the old books he brought out.

If you can't win, you will naturally have to change people, and there are two people who will succeed Liu Ju and go to Fujian.

Jin Lian, who was the left waiter of the household department at the time, and Chen Mao of Ningyang.

Because of this, the two of them were lucky enough to escape the catastrophe and survive to the present.

I really don't have any impression of who Jin Lian is Zhu Di, but Zhu Di can be said to be quite familiar with the name of Ningyang Hou Chen Mao.

For no other reason, Chen Mao's father, Chen Heng, the Duke of Jingguo, was one of the heroes who followed Zhu Di to be knighted.

During the Yongle years, Chen Mao was still a little kid who followed his father and Zhu Di everywhere to mix experience, and he had experienced the Battle of Jingyan and the Five Expeditions to Mongolia.

There were even two times when Chen Mao was a pioneer officer personally selected by Zhu Di.

When Chen Mao's father, Chen Heng, the Duke of Jingguo, died, Zhu Di was still heartbroken by the loss of his right-hand man and personally wrote an article to commemorate it.

Unexpectedly, time has passed, and the little kid who followed him to fight has been able to lead the army alone and become a famous general with great achievements.

When he returns, be sure to see him.

Zhu Di was convinced that when Chen Mao saw him, he would definitely understand.

"Since October, there have been frequent wars in the areas of Kifu and Xuanda, and the people have suffered unspeakably, so I am determined that the government will pay for the purchase of cattle for them, and the local government will provide seeds for the people to resume farming."

"The state capitals and counties of Xuanda and Jifu are exempted from the field tax in the fourteenth year of orthodoxy and the first year of Jingtai."

Tax exemption, this is Zhu Di's method of seeking the support of local people.

It's simple, but it's also effective.

After the tax exemption, the people must have celebrated, because only the land tax in the Kifu area was exempted, and it did not cause much loss of profits to the landlords and merchants.

But doing so would increase the financial pressure on the imperial court.

After saying this, the ministers immediately talked about it.

Some people believe that there is indeed some truth in this, wars are frequent, and there are many victims in the homes of the people, and at this time, the edict tax exemption can also have the effect of stabilizing people's hearts.

However, some people feel that judging from the current finances of the imperial court, it will be a big blow if the tax of Kifu and Xuanda is exempted for two years.

Although Zhu Di proposed it today, after all, it is not the Yongle period that he said by himself, whether the courtiers can pass it or not, this is still two words.

Such a major policy needs to be issued to the household department for discussion first, and then the household department will submit its opinions to the cabinet for drafting, and finally approve it itself before the edict can be smoothly issued.

If you want this edict to be distributed to the people and let the people see it, Zhu Di's only way now is to win the support of the courtiers.

After coming and going, without ten days and half a month, this edict could not be issued at all.

Zhu Di never thought that the cabinet was originally set up by himself to help deal with the government, but now it has become so cumbersome to even make his own orders.

In addition to regret, it is reflection.

When the power is completely regained in the future, it is necessary to set up an institution that can help the emperor in handling the government more than the cabinet.
