Wu Kuan and Liu Jian went out of the palace gate, they were a little silent, the crown prince is so smart, and the emperor loves him very much, won't the lord of the Ming Dynasty become the East Palace in the future?

In the capital,

Zhang Tianrui confessed according to Zhu Houzhao and began to use money to recruit some craftsmen to work and build houses.

The movement is not small,

It seems that it is also the instruction of the East Palace.

Now this matter does not use the money of the Ministry of Households, and it has nothing to do with the state finances, and the Cabinet and the Ministry of Households naturally have nothing to say.

Wu Kuan thought about it, and felt that the East Palace was too slippery.

And in the name of doing this, it is to recruit poor people to train doctors, if anyone dares to stop it, once it makes a fuss, it doesn't matter if the people in the capital spit on the stars, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also knock him down and discredit him.

A few days later,

Zhu Houzhao received another copy of the prince's education plan submitted by the cabinet, this time it is much more 'reasonable'.

First, learn words. Write 100 a day in spring, summer and autumn, write 50 a day in winter, and write a penmanship with dot painting, which must be dignified - simple.

Second, after lunch every day, take a leisurely swim, or practice riding and archery—it's already being done.

Third, read the book taught this day more than ten times every night, until you are familiar with it - if you are familiar with it, you don't need to read it dozens of times, thank you.

Fourth, all those who read for three days must recite and mature. On the day of the Wen book, the new book is exempted, and the official speaks through, and the righteousness must be known - ibid.

Fifth, the beginning and end of the daily teaching, the day before, the school scrivener starts to write a post and submits it - why is the school scrivener's matter written into my reading plan?

Sixth, whenever there is a new hope and a strong wind, rain and snow, cold and summer, suspend the reading of Chinese characters - how much wind and rain is called big, is it necessary to be clear?

Seventh, two attendants, four lecturers, one scrivener, and one school scrivener are used every day—it has nothing to do with me.

He returned this thing to Liu Jin to take a look,

"Our Lord Wu is on the same page with me. It's just a matter of copying it, and I have to take what Liu Ge wants to make changes. ”

Gonggong Liu looked at this thing, but he didn't have any other opinions, just sighed, "Time flies so fast, the old slave still remembers the days when he held His Highness in his arms, and in the blink of an eye, he was going to go out of the pavilion to study." ”

The auspicious day finally determined by the Ministry of Rites is the third day of the third month of March.

It's been a month, but it's actually a blink of an eye.

Now Zhu Houzhao has no concept of going to and from work, and he doesn't care what day of the week it is, and it feels like every day is a weekend, so time flies quickly.

And Liu Jin talked about time,

Zhu Houzhao will want to ascend the throne again, he was educated in his previous life, and he never dreamed that he would be the emperor, and he didn't know what to do in the future.

But people don't have to think about it so much, let's follow the plan step by step.

It was when he was talking that someone from outside came to report that Yang Tinghe was asking to see him.

Zhu Houzhao was slightly stunned, they haven't seen Yang Tinghe since he went to Qingzhou to serve as the prefect, is it because he came to see him during the Chinese New Year?

"Call him in."

"Yes!"

Not long after, Yang Tinghe, dressed in a blue official robe, with a little frost on his face, greeted in front of the prince's bookcase in the Chufang Palace.

"Minister Yang Tinghe, see Your Highness."

"Get up." Zhu Houzhao instructed Liu Jin, "Take a seat." Swing the stool next to the charcoal basin. After many days of not seeing, our Mr. Yang is going to freeze to death. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness."

These are all their own people, so let's just be polite.

Then Zhu Houzhao asked: "Why did you suddenly come here today, what is the matter?" ”

"No, there isn't. The minister's return to Beijing this time was a business trip, and he will soon return to Qingzhou. It's just that I have something to see and hear in my heart, and I want to talk to His Highness. ”

As he spoke, he took out a book from his arms and handed it to Liu Jin.

Five big characters on the song: "Qingzhou Tax Book"

"In Weichen in Qingzhou to see, the more excellent the good land, the easier it is to fall into the hands of the eunuchs, barren, inferior fields will be added to the heads of the small people, but the taxes can be paid are all small people, and these own land is good, the people of Qingzhou, there are only two or three out of ten, the author of the tenant accounts for seven or eight out of ten, the official land divided by the imperial court is heavily taxed, the year is only a ripe autumn harvest, the harvest of one mu can not reach three stones, the less is only more than one stone, the heavy one wants one stone, and the less one is also seven or eight buckets. The tenants have worked hard for a year, but there are still those who pay the rent today and beg for the loan tomorrow. ”

What Yang Tinghe said was actually the matter of land annexation, he only saw some appearances in Qingzhou, and his thinking would become more and more profound in a few more years.

In a predominantly agricultural country, the most important thing is naturally the land. But it is very difficult to solve the land matter, not to mention that he is a young prince, even an emperor like Kangxi is difficult to do.

This is a very serious matter, and we must not be in a hurry. At least not in the current situation where the foundation is still shallow.

In fact, he is already preparing. There is energy to do things, and this 'energy' is nothing more than money and people, the two most important, and people are divided into civil and military. Wen, already looking for it, Wu, the people brought out by Wang Yue are all considered his, we always think about the problem from the perspective of the prince, and feel that we need to recruit, in fact, thinking from the perspective of some border troops, they want to climb the lintel of the prince, and there are many things in this background to have the confidence.

Of course, none of this can be done today and tomorrow, it will take time.

Zhu Houzhao's face became solemn, he had to handle this matter properly.

But Yang Tinghe continued: "Don't ministers know that the following offenses are taboo? However, according to Shandong, Qi Kuan, the procurator, connived at domestic slaves, or bought them at a low price, or used the so-called method of contribution, and seized tens of thousands of hectares of people's land. The list of sins is too numerous to mention! ”

This is a third-grade official, not something he should be able to shake as a fourth-grade official.

It stands to reason that he shouldn't have overstepped to talk about it.

As for Zhu Houzhao, as the person behind Yang Tinghe, now that the courtiers have reported such a big case, he must make a statement, otherwise his previous virtuous name is inconsistent with the current behavior of conniving at corrupt officials.

And it will also discourage such officials who are still righteous in their hearts.

But in addition to supporting Yang Tinghe's work to a certain extent, as a superior, he must also consider whether the measures are appropriate from the overall situation, and he can't let him mess around and break through the plan.

Also be careful not to be too specific. Because Yang Tinghe is such a simple statement, what is the actual situation? Who knows?

"This note...... I'm going to keep it as a reminder. Zhu Houzhao glanced at it a few times, and he already had a plan in his heart, he first had to have the consciousness of being someone else's backstage, "As for the matter of Qi Kuan, although you do it according to what you think in your heart, I will be the master of everything!" Do you remember what I told you when you went to Qingzhou? ”

"Don't lose the face of the East Palace!"

"Hmm. I said why didn't you come to see me until now? It's a few hesitations in my heart, if I don't say anything in the Fang Palace, it will naturally be a disappointment to my heart, if I say it...... You Yang Tinghe is guilty of officialdom. ”

Yang Tinghe touched the ground with his head, "Your Highness is wise!" ”

"But this palace doesn't care about anything taboo or not, the people's affairs are not good, and the officials of the court are not good. If you can't do it, send a letter to the East Palace. You hesitated, I don't care. Now that you have come to me to talk about this matter, you must not hesitate to go back and act, and let them know that there is still a prince of the East Palace in the Ming Dynasty. This is courageous, you remember first. ”

Yang Tinghe's heart was agitated, and he surrendered and kowtowed, "Remember!" ”

"I will read this "Qingzhou Tax Book", but I can only lock it first. The disadvantages of Qingzhou are not the disadvantages of my Ming Dynasty, and the two capitals and thirteen provinces do not know how much Qi Kuan, but the annexation of land is not trivial, you and I have to wait, and wait for the time and conditions to be ripe. It's conspiracy, you know what I mean? ”

What kind of smart person is Yang Tinghe?

"The minister understands that since the minister has participated in Qi Kuan, he will only handle Qi Kuan's case."

There's no way around it.

In fact, to put it simply, if there are not a few loyal eagle dogs, generals and hundreds of thousands of troops who can fight, then this kind of case can only be handled one by one. As long as it's not national, there's no going to be any mess.

Of course, there is no single way to do anything.

In fact, there is a second one, which is a little more imperial, which is to find a black glove.

Zhu Houzhao frowned and bit his fingers, he knew that there was a big problem in the Hongzhi Dynasty, that is, the land demanded by the vassal king was also very large, and this wind had to be stopped.

"You are waiting for my letter in Qingzhou. As long as the timing is right, you may be able to do a few more Qi Kuan. Create more blessings for the people. ”

Yang Tinghe looked up at the prince who was thinking hard and trying to think of various methods, and suddenly felt moved.

"Minister, obey the will of His Highness, and never give up!"

Zhu Houzhao frowned, he knew that if he really encountered such a thing, Yang Tinghe was also prone to danger. After all, he is a small fourth-grade official.

"By the way, you...... Do you have a son named Yang ......?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the name of the dog is Shen, Yang Shen."

"How old, ten?"

"It's eleven in the new year."

"Speaking of which, the East Palace Pavilion Lecture Ceremony is almost ready, and the days are very close. In my opinion, your son should not go to Qingzhou with you this time, stay and be my companion. ”

Yang Tinghe was stunned, he was really a little caught off guard, this is not an ordinary reward......

He immediately knelt down, "Your Highness, this favor is too heavy, and the ministers are terrified!" Dogs are not blessed with such blessings! ”

Yang Shen, the first of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty.

When he won the first prize, his father was the first assistant. But no one thinks there is a problem with this champion, just two words: obey him.

This champion should be his.

The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes. Success or failure turns empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times.

These lines were written by his son.

As for the reason for doing this, Zhu Houzhao is not all for him Yang Tinghe, in the final analysis, it is for himself.

It happened that he was going out of the cabinet to study, so he was preparing to do one thing: find a companion to study.

Or do you want to be your own people......

Just like Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard during the Jiajing period, Lu Bing's mother was the nurse of Emperor Jiajing, so the two have known each other since childhood, of course, they were still young at that time.

But when I was a child, this memory is just different.

Lu Bing himself was loyal to Emperor Jiajing, and Emperor Jiajing also trusted him. Regardless of what these two people have done good or bad, the relationship between the monarch and the minister is always enviable.

Zhu Houzhao is now at this age, will he let go of this opportunity in vain?

How could it be, he not only wanted Wenchen, but also an eagle dog.
