The major event of jointly summoning the envoys of various countries has been arranged by Yang Yiqing, and the importance of this matter has increased.

However, it does not occupy too much time for the emperor and ministers on the agenda, and it is not a celestial figure to welcome any terrible person, so it can be accepted by Zhu Houzhao.

His mind was still to find someone for the imperial court who could take over Zhou Shangwen and Wang Shouren, so that they could return to their original positions, and at the same time, they would not have to transport grain to the imperial court one by one.

From the current point of view, this person is Lu En.

It's not that Zhang Cong can't do it, but Zhang Cong probably doesn't have any real experience in dividing fields in a county, he started out as a Qincha, and what he actually did was to order and supervise such work.

And Ma Bin can only kill.

The will to come out of the Forbidden City is a big pass, and this pass Zhu Hou has taken care of. After coming out of the Forbidden City, Zheng'er Bajing fell in various counties, and it was a big pass, and this pass Zhu Houzhao could do limitedly.

Lu En's original official was a little smaller, but in this year, the emperor did not pay attention to the promotion of ministers, but also according to the number of years.

Moreover, Lu En has been standing in the Qianqing Palace for many days. As the saying goes, the prime minister has seven officials in front of the door, and he, the person in front of the Qianqing Palace, is actually already famous in Beijing.

That day, after this guy was scolded badly, he finally came to his senses, he went to find Gu Renyi, went to Gu Zuo, and complained to the two of them about his frustration

After saying that, both of them couldn't help but admire the emperor's methods, and finally understood that it turned out that Lu En was allowed to stand there and do nothing.

It is to let him see how complicated and difficult the actual situation of governing this country is, and see how many factors need to be considered as a person in power, rather than simply saying 'a gentleman and a villain', and see how difficult it is to govern such a huge country.

After seeing and hearing it, he realized that the court was not the traitorous situation he imagined.

With these realizations, the emperor scolded him severely, and he naturally knew how ridiculous he had been before.

Of course, it is also possible that he will not change his life, so Zhu Houzhao will not be polite.

After more than ten days, the emperor had another will to declare Lu En to enter the palace.

This time, this guy is much more honest, and he has expectations in his heart, this time the emperor will definitely arrange actual duties and errands for him.

The emperor crossed his hands over his chest, paced back and forth in the hall, and looked at Lu En, "My ministers all told me that you are a talented person, but you have only been a county governor in the past, and you have only presided over the measurement and division of the people's fields in one county...... How many talented people do you have? ”

Lu En's tears that day were completely wiped away, and now his expression has changed, "The minister didn't dare to talk about his talent, but fortunately after His Majesty's reminder and repentance, now there is only determination, that is, no matter what the difficulties, always remember to do a good job in His Majesty's instructions." ”

"You must have been very dissatisfied with officialdom and world affairs before, right? Have you ever wondered these days, if you are in charge of hundreds of officials, how are you going to deal with people and things that you are not used to? ”

"It's still Fan Wenzhenggong's words, rather than die silently. No matter what the others do, the minister's mind is clear. ”

Zhu Houzhao paused slightly, he carefully felt Lu En's tone, and looking at his demeanor, there was indeed a firmness.

"The fields in Tong County are the best, you should have some experience, right?"

Lu En was no longer modest, he said: "The key to dividing the field is two points, one is the emperor's support, so that the minister has confidence, and the other is to insist." ”

"Persistence?"

"Yes, the fields are dead, the people are alive, the court has supported them, and the courtiers are the ones who insist on measuring and dividing these fields well, no matter who obstructs them. Although the road is far, the journey is coming. ”

"Persistence is easy to say, but it is still difficult to do. Or do you have confidence that you will be allowed to divide the fields? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there is."

Zhu Houzhao was a little skeptical, "Bringing 1,000 soldiers is not the same as bringing 10,000 soldiers, you have only divided the fields of one county before, is there really one?" ”

Lu En kowtowed, and then said, "Your Majesty, the world is as black as a crow." Those who are unwilling to give the land to the common people are all the same face and the same black heart. But ......"

"But what?"

"If you don't divide the fields of one county, the county is enough, and no matter how big the place, the county is not enough. Your Majesty...... You have to be a vassal and a larger official. ”

You Ji raised his eyes slightly and looked at the emperor.

After all, you don't meet an official who talks like this in a year.

"What? You don't want to make the official smaller and smaller, but bigger and bigger? ”

Lu En looked a little ashamed.

Now that I think about how ridiculous it used to be, on the one hand, I feel that the officials above do nothing, and I despise these people in my heart, but on the other hand, I don't do anything, but I want to be a petty official and stay away from these people.

"Your Majesty, the minister will never mention that in the future."

"It's good to know. So how big do you want to be? ”

"Your Majesty wants the ministers to divide the fields wherever they want, and they will give the ministers orders, and no one dares to disobey them openly."

"On the surface?"

"Because no matter how much Your Majesty stresses it, secretly they will disobey. ”

"But I want you to divide the military tun on the nine sides one acre by one."

A boulder fell in Lu En's heart in an instant, he dared to ask for an official, but he didn't dare to ask for such a big official.

"In this case, the minister can't talk nonsense anymore."

He didn't say that Zhu Houzhao wanted to say, "In order to clean up the military cantonment, I have sent two rounds of inspectors. You will do the third round, first easy and then difficult, go to Jizhou first, hang the rank of squire of the military department, and serve as the deputy chief soldier of Jizhou, in charge of the measurement and division of the military tun. The current situation in Jizhou, some places have been divided, and some places should still be in the process and will take time. After you go, straighten things out one by one, how many guards there are in Jizhou, a few people, and how many acres of military tun are all figured out to me, and finally the general performance will come up. ”

"Yes! The minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust! ”

Zhu Houzhao sighed slightly, and with some expectations, "If Jizhou does a good job and you have experience, I will hand over the military tuns of several other towns to you." Luen, you're going to have to work hard for years on this matter, maybe...... There will also be dangers. ”

"As Your Majesty said, you are not afraid of death, what else is there to be afraid of?"

"Yes." The big thing was decided, and Zhu Houzhao's expression was much more relaxed, "Get up." Don't go out of Beijing these days, the second round of inspections is not over yet, and there is no need to do it continuously. So you can wait in Beijing until after this Wanguo. It's a chance for me, to let you, a person with a sharp pen and a sharper mouth, see if I have been so unbearable in the past few years. ”

Lu En's face fell, "Ouch. Your Majesty, you dare not accept this. Please spare me, Your Majesty. ”

"What is this. Remember my words, I, the emperor, govern the country by the way. What is the Tao? It's that I don't disdain to play those tricks under my control, and I use people for one purpose, that is, to let you do it for the good of the people and the court. If you do this, I will be lenient if you are guilty, but if you can't do this, I will punish you and regret being an official of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Although this is said a little ruthlessly, but Zhu Houzhao also watches people cook, since this Lu En is so jealous and hateful, then this paragraph must be useful to him, because he is an official, and part of the factor is to be an official for the people.

After Lu En withdrew from the Qianqing Palace, he also returned to give the emperor a big salute in a proper manner, and everything was in plain sight.

It's not a favor, it's not a coercion, it's a heart.
