The Son of Heaven really wanted to do this.

Yang Yiqing still feels a little trance-like.

In fact, the more the grain of Tuntian collapses, from another point of view, once it is rectified, the more obvious the effect.

Because of the shrinking tax base, although there are Ming monarchs in the dynasty and virtuous ministers in the localities, the Ming Dynasty's annual revenue is still around 29 million stones. Even so, it is comparable to the time of benevolence and proclamation.

It's only a little less than the early years of Yongle, but it's not easy to increase it.

However, if the rectification of the military cantonment can be effective, not only can the people have an extra ration, but even the imperial court can increase the annual income to 35 million stones.

In addition, the rectification of the military cantonment can also make the grain that should have belonged to the guard house belong to the guard again, and also save the imperial court from consuming military salaries.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, because of the good implementation of Tuntian, it was indeed possible to raise a million soldiers as Zhu Yuanzhang said without costing the people, but later Tuntian was destroyed in a large area, so many soldiers had no food to eat, and the imperial court had to take care of it, right?

Therefore, only appropriations can be made, which leads to the Ming generation, and the pressure on military salaries continues to increase.

If this part of the expenditure can be saved, the imperial court can have an extra 8 million to 10 million stone of grain at its disposal every year.

So, whether it's disaster relief or military preparation, what can't be done?

At that time, the world will be rich, and it will be called the real Ming Zhongxing.

Yang Yiqing was half-lying on the recliner, and whenever he thought of this scene, he couldn't help but get excited.

If such a day can really be realized, he Yang Yiqing will not live this life in vain.

"Elder Ge, someone brought it."

"Oh."

Yang Yiqing is cool in the bamboo forest in the backyard, a table, a cup of strong tea, and when he is not in the cabinet duty room, he will let himself stay here.

Zhang Xuanyuan didn't expect that he would be able to enter the palace of the head of the cabinet.

But he understood that something was out of the ordinary.

Otherwise, it's Wei Ningbo and Ge Lao, what are you doing?

"Xiaguan Shaanxi Provincial Imperial History Zhang Xuan, meet Yang Ge Lao."

"Get up."

"Xie Ge Lao."

Yang Yiqing glanced at this ordinary-looking middle-aged man and said, "The imperial court wants to check the grasslands and tuntian fields in the northwest, and you are selected." Has the will been received? ”

"In the morning, it was received."

"What do you think?"

"Your Majesty has a life, but only death."

"No one wants you to die, Your Majesty wants you to live and get things done. If you die, what value can you add to Your Majesty and the court? ”

Zhang Xuan also knew some of Yang Yiqing's names, and he would never summon him for no reason at this time, so he immediately gave up his hand and said modestly: "Please advise the elder." ”

Yang Yiqing slowly sat up on the table, probably because he was old, and his wheezing sound was a little heavy.

"This matter is very important, only in addition to the disadvantages of the military tun, in order to restore the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, protect the lives of the people, you and I are courtiers, Ming Jun is rare, if Zhengde can not do this, future generations ...... This is one and you need to keep in mind.

These two, the iron still needs its own hardness. The affairs of Huai'an Mansion, you are a witness, and the people who go down to the court are easy to be captured, if it is not for Your Majesty to find out, your life will not be saved. Now that you have become a descendant, you need to pay attention to this. Hold on to this, no matter how big the matter is, your majesty will be in charge, and there is no need to be afraid.

Third...... Do you have a wife and children? Where are they now? ”

Zhang Xuan replied, "It's all in my hometown in Zhejiang." ”

"Let's take the Jingshi."

Zhang Xuan: "......"

It was as if something was going to happen.

"Pavilion ......"

"If you do this, it's hard to say that you will be able to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, but it is not difficult to be a respecter, and since you have lived in Beijing for a long time, how can your family always be separated from each other? If you can't do this, your wife and children will go to Beijing, and the old man will still be able to take care of one or two, and when the old man is gone, there will still be Your Majesty. ”

Whether you succeed or fail to do this, you have to take it over.

Zhang Xuan was a little shocked.

He knelt down and thanked loudly, "Thank you, Elder Ge, for your kindness." ”

In fact, Yang Yiqing is also a fierce person, he investigated horse smuggling back then, but he got a lot of blood.

"Go ahead."

"Yes, the next official will retire."

During the Jiajing period in history, Yang Yiqing also admired Zhang Xuan at first, after all, Zhang Xuan still had some ideals and ambitions. At that time, Yang Yiqing was idle at home, and Zhang Xuan offended too many people in the court, so he strongly recommended Yang Yiqing to make a comeback, so that he could stand up for him as an old-timer. The two hit it off and had a short honeymoon period.

It's just that they quickly turned against each other.

Zhang Xuan has ideals and means, but there is one thing that is not good, he is very eager for quick success and quick profit, and he does not pay much attention to means.

Later generations thought that this may have something to do with Zhang Xuan's age, he was forty-six or seventeen years old when he became a jinshi, although he caught the trust of Emperor Jiajing, but a newcomer, no matter how fast he was promoted, it would take time.

And he has a 'great cause' to do in his heart, so he seems very impatient, of course, this is only an explanation.

Maybe that's the way his personality is.

Therefore, Zhang Xuan's sleekness in officialdom is indeed not as good as that of Zhang Juzheng later. In general, it is to offend too many people, and always move the people in front of you. And as soon as the emperor favors others, he will become jealous.

In addition, he initially borrowed the power of Yang Yiqing, but in the end, he didn't care about slandering Yang Yiqing, and Yang Yiqing had to explain in front of Emperor Jiajing. It's a shame to do this.

But it's like a living person.

A person cannot be all good, nor will he be 100% bad, there are good and bad, this is the complexity of human beings.

In this time and space, Zhang Xuan's situation is better. He is now thirty-six years old, and he is also a very promising person in the officialdom, even if he is eager for quick success, the recent encounter can satisfy him.

Shaanxi Province supervises the imperial history, which is already from the fifth grade.

And Yang Yiqing really appreciates it, like-minded, although he is separated by age, but this energy to do things is in line with him.

In a sense, if you find something you want to do and you find someone who can continue to do it, normal people's thoughts are to think that the heir has been found.

Of course, this idea, Yang Yiqing just flashed, and he still needs to see more about it. Besides, Zhang Xuan is not the only one who can enter his eyes.

He, the elder of the pavilion, himself has promoted many people.

The current military department is still the secretary of Qi Chengsui, and there is also that Qiu Yue.

Qiu Yue had been promoted when he was the governor of the three sides, and in the second year of Zhengde, Qiu Yue had meritorious service in battle, and he was also promoted to the commander of the guard because of his merits.

Because during that time, Yang Yiqing also had a lot of contact with Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren's talent and character also convinced and appreciated him, so Wang Shouren was in charge of the Hetao, and he also fully agreed.

Historically, Yang Yiqing was known for being good at discovering talents, and the above people were all recommended by him when he was the governor, and all of them maintained a good relationship with him.

Not only that, in the second year of Zhengde, he stepped down as governor and returned to Beijing to serve as the head of the cabinet, and recommended some people one after another.

Among them, the most promising is Wang Tingxiang.

Wang Tingxiang, Wang Shouren, and Zhang Xuan are all generally old, around thirty-six or seventeen. Wang Shouren became famous the earliest, Zhang Xuan was the latest, Wang Tingxiang was in the middle, he had taken over Wang Shouren's position, and he was the governor of Shaanxi with the right deputy capital Yushi.

It first came to prominence in the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, in the "Proposed Border Matters Strategy", which put forward several methods on how to deal with the emergency situation at the border gates, highlighting some of his military and political talents.

In that year, the emperor granted him a military department.

But when he could try the appointment, it was unfortunate that his father died in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, so he returned home and returned in the second year of Zhengde.

At that time, Yang Yiqing returned to Beijing to serve as the first minister, and he saw that this person had clear logic and was capable of doing things, so he recommended it to Shaanxi.

That time was also a special matter, there were people in Jingyang and Xianning in Shaanxi Province who rebelled, which was actually not uncommon in the feudal dynasty, this kind of thing was not big or small, and it was crazy to send a large army, completely consuming the people's power, but it didn't work anyway.

Later, Yang Yiqing thought of this person, and Zhu Houzhao was also a little impressed, so he sent this person there.

I didn't expect Wang Tingxiang to handle it quite well, in fact, many times, some things depend on whether they have the courage to do it, for example, some people will privately occupy the quota of the regular army, Wang Tingxiang dares to prohibit it, and if it doesn't work, he will sue the emperor.

He resolutely suppressed the mob, strongly advocating 'exterminating the population and sweeping it up', and at the same time, he posted notices everywhere to exhort the people to return to their hometowns.

In addition, he handled it fairly and did not deduct military salaries much, and he always believed that the army should have combat effectiveness, and it was not okay to lack salaries.

So Wang Tingxiang led a group of people to get this thing done beautifully.

Afterwards, the court saw that this was really a talent.

So at the end of the second year of Zhengde, in order to further deal with the affairs of Shaanxi, the imperial court promoted Wang Tingxiang to the commander of Shaanxi.

In the fourth year of Zhengde, Wang Tingxiang entered the palace to see His Majesty during the Great Dynasty Meeting.

He dared to put forward bold reform proposals as an official, took the economy and the world as his business in learning, and put forward more pertinent suggestions such as "giving military salaries to the reserves" and "revitalizing the military system" in military training; at the same time, on the issue of suppressing the uprising, which he was in the limelight for, he believed that taxes should be reduced to reduce the burden on the people.

And when he played it right, he knew everything about the things in his jurisdiction, and when he answered, he spoke clearly and thought clearly.

How could such a young and powerful official in his thirties not be appreciated and noticed by the emperor?

Therefore, in the four years of Zhengde's great court meeting, Wang Tingxiang gained the most abundantly, and after the data he said was verified by the attendant officer, the emperor promoted his official and governor Shaanxi!

If nothing else, being able to explain the things under one's jurisdiction very clearly is to be attentive and willing to do things.

Yang Yiqing is really accurate in seeing people.

However, Zhang Zhang's trip to the northwest this time is another big test, both of them.

For this reason, he, the elder of the pavilion, really had to say hello to Wang Tingxiang again, and after Zhang Xuan left, he wrote a letter on the stone table in person.

He is the head of the cabinet, and there are not a few people who use it, and he has to do all these things, so this is called the first minister.
