Zhu Houzhao turned his attention to Li Mengyang and his status in the literary world, naturally because the affairs of Ningxia had already achieved initial results.

Qiu Yue was ordered to enter Beijing, probably in the past few days.

Before this, Zhu Houzhao already knew how Wang Tingxiang and Zhang Xuan dealt with the four guards in Ningxia. Since this is the case, he is no longer polite, and after the noon on October 16, he will keep the cabinet and the six ministries and nine secretaries in the palace.

The guards of the Ming Dynasty, one is the border guard, the other is the inland guard, there is a difference between the two, for example, the border land is divided into three points to defend the city, and seven points to the tun species; The interior is divided into two to defend the city, and eight is divided into tun.

Of course, this is the general principle, in fact, this ratio is also related to whether the terrain of a place is suitable for transporting grain, and the specific division is very complicated.

But in general, the people of the time divided this according to the border and the interior.

"Ningxia cleaned up the military tun, and a lot of heads fell up and down. This matter should also be expected by all Aiqing. However, the effect of cleaning up the tuntian is obvious, and the governor of Shaanxi, Wang Tingxiang, and the special envoy Zhang Xuan have already played, and after the Ningxia tuntian, 200,000 stone grains can be handed over every year in one place. Moreover, the four guards and horses in Ningxia Town can also be self-sufficient, even if it is slightly insufficient, the lack of the imperial court will not be too difficult.

In this way, the benefits of cleaning up Ningxia Juntun this time are not only these 200,000 stone grains? Since then, the imperial court has saved the matter of transferring grain into Ningxia, and this account must also be calculated. Therefore, I think that cleaning up Tuntian can solve the suffering of lack of grain in the border towns, and second, it can reduce the burden of Taicang in the imperial court, if Gansu, Yulin, Datong, Xuanfu, and Jizhou can be like Ningxia, then I can be worry-free, and Aiqing can also be worry-free. ”

The ministers of the court and the central government, headed by Yang Yiqing, heard that there could be such an effect, and they were all overjoyed and the emperor congratulated him.

However, Ningxia is only a small place in the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Wei took the lead and said: "Since Your Majesty's reign, the army has been quite effective, among which Zhou Shangwen, Yang Shangyi, Chang Dacheng and so on are the most prominent. Ningxia Qingtun has achieved results, and other towns should follow suit. However, Weichen thought that this matter should follow the way of first urgent and then slow, slowly trying to figure it out, and breaking it down. Zhou Shangwen lived in Gansu, far away from Beijing; Chang Dacheng lives in eastern Liaodong and has a low population. Therefore, Yang Shangyi's residence in Jizhou can be called suitable, Jizhou guards the northeast of Beijing, the fields are contiguous, and the people are dense. After Qingtun, it can not only be more effective than Ningxia, but also stabilize the center! ”

When they first began to 'attack' Ningxia, these ministers in the court agreed on the whole, but some people had doubts. Now that Ningxia has finally had an effect, it is not against it at first, but it understands that he wants to continue to expand the scope of Qingtun.

Zhu Houzhao is still somewhat satisfied with this, although the thoughts in his heart are not exactly what Wang Wei said.

"What about the others? Do you have a different opinion from Mr. Wang? ”

Wang Bing heard this, "Weichen thinks that if the importance of the Beijing division is discussed, Datong and Xuanfu should be the first, and although the military achievements of Shi Feng and Yang Xing, the chief soldier of Datong, and the general soldier of Xuanfu are not as good as Pingyubo, their loyalty to His Majesty is also seen by heaven and earth." ”

This Wang Bing.

Zhu Houzhao knows a little bit, Shi Feng and Yang Xing both met him in the battle of Liangxiang two years ago, and they seem to be familiar with him after that.

Others, such as Zhou Shangwen and Yang Shangyi, have special 'channels', and it is not very rare for Wang Bing to follow this path, but Shi Feng and Yang Xing do not have the position of the above people in His Majesty's heart, so it is difficult for them to refuse the relationship between the court and the central cabinet.

It's not that the Beijing officials have friends with the border generals, but they are generals outside, so you always have to have someone in the court, right? This is a necessary mutual use, otherwise you might as well go home and plant sweet potatoes as an official.

Zhu Houzhao didn't want to dwell on this thing at this time, and asked instead: "Yang Ge Lao, what do you think?" ”

Yang Yiqing raised his head slightly, "Weichen thinks that the words of the two pavilion elders have their truth. However, the imperial court's policy should be fair, and the Ming Dynasty can set up nine sides, that is, the nine sides are important to the Ming Dynasty. ”

Wang Wei was anxious, "Elder Yang Ge, Qingtun is a very important matter, and it is best to implement it step by step, so that it can be safe." ”

"Jizhigong, if you want to be safe, it is the most secure not to clear the tun." Yang Yiqing has led the army and has been the leader for a few years, and he still knows what the situation is in the border army.

Because it was Wang Wei, he softened his tone a little and said, "Didn't Jizhigong just say that His Majesty is quite effective in governing the army?" ”

"Then try not to get to the level of fighting each other!"

Yang Yiqing was silent, and Wang Wei's thoughts could not be wrong. In the unlikely event that there are soldiers and generals in other places making trouble, this kind of thing will not add glory to the court and His Majesty.

"Your Majesty!" Qi Cheng, the secretary of the military department, then said: "Weichen thinks that the matter of the imperial court Qingtun is already known to the whole world, and it is implemented step by step, don't the border towns in the back know their own situation?" Time dragged on, but it gave some traitors and villains a chance to react, and at that time, it was very unfavorable to the imperial court. And such a big event should be done in one go to show the determination of the imperial court, otherwise, maybe some people will think that the imperial court is not strong-minded and weak. ”

Zhu Houzhao had already nodded for the fourth time, "I understand, you all have your own reasoning." Originally, I was also thinking about whether the remaining border towns should be cleared together, or carried out step by step, but what I was worried about was not whether it was stable or not, but whether there were too many border towns, whether it would cause the imperial court to have no time to take care of it, which was an extremely difficult matter, and once it was not done well, it would be easy to mess up the overall situation. ”

In this way, except for Ningxia, all other border towns have had an 'ending' in the emperor's heart.

The ministers knew where the Sacred Heart was, and they no longer 'humbled', "Your Majesty, Weichen has a good plan to solve Your Majesty's worries. ”

Zhu Hou looked at Yang Tinghe, who reacted quickly, he knew that this guy was well-organized and his brain was fast, but in such a short period of time...... What's the best idea?

"Tell me about it."

Yang Tinghe was not in a hurry, "The law of Weichen was also born from Your Majesty. It's the responsibility to the person. In addition to Ningxia, there are still eight towns in Gansu, Yulin, and Datong, and the eight towns are Qingtun at the same time, and there are indeed many affairs, which can not be taken into account, so the ministers think that His Majesty can pick eight important ministers, each of them is responsible, and there are talented and strong people, and one person can also be responsible for two towns. Weichen believes that when he is an important minister of the court, he can always sort out a court affairs affairs. In this way, His Majesty's worries can be solved. ”

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up after hearing this, this was actually the method of later generations, but he applied a large number of bureaucratic ruling techniques in later generations in the process of ruling the country, and he did not expect it to affect the people of the world.

"Elder Yang Ge."

"The old minister is here."

"You are the head of the cabinet, after you go down, you will convene the cabinet elders and the officials of the ministry to discuss it, and then let the husband speak more carefully, and after three days, the assigned list of eight people will be reported to me."

In this way, the emperor adopted Yang Tinghe's suggestion, and this speed was really fast.

Not because of how good Yang Tinghe's suggestion was, but once the emperor hesitated, this kind of thing was easily opposed.

Because most people have nothing to do with this matter, now that the list of eight people is out, there will be a few more unlucky people, after all, it is obvious how difficult this thing is.

That's why Zhu Houzhao immediately expressed his position.

This 'immediately' shows that Yang Tinghe suddenly said to the emperor's heart, and the emperor also meant this. Yang Tinghe may not be able to move people, but the emperor is different, and if anyone wants to oppose it, they have to weigh it.

Yang Yiqing is an old bureaucrat, so he naturally understands the subtle differences, and he can only say that Xiaomiao really gave birth to a son who was born to be an emperor.

Now that the emperor Chrysostom has opened and directly ordered him, what can he do in front of so many people?

"Old minister, the command."

"Hmm." Zhu Hou nodded as if nothing had happened, and said to Wang Wei: "Mr. Wang, Mr. must know the importance of cleaning up the military camp. The difficulty of this, Mr. is more aware of it, if you do it one by one, I am worried, the more difficult it will be, and it will be so difficult that I can't do it. ”

"The old minister understands. Your Majesty's intentions are for the community, for the people, and the ministers will definitely do their best to assist Your Majesty! ”

"Good!" Zhu Houzhao stood up, "Ladies and gentlemen, how many times in life in life, if this thing is done, you and I will all leave a name in history, if it can't be done, I am also willing to raise the three-foot Qingfeng to kill the enemy!" ”
