Chapter 43: The Emperor's Grandson's Man

Bachelor Xie, who was in the limelight, asked Xu Jingchang to go home to water and fertilize, facing the sea, and the warm flowers were blooming, and all the bachelors in the cabinet were shocked.

As a close minister of the Son of Heaven, Shangshu and Shilang have to respect them for a few points. Unless Zhu Di asks for guilt, no one can do anything to them. Entering the General Administration Department and holding power is also the meaning of the Son of Heaven.

But who would have thought that Xu Jingchang's counterattack was so fierce that he directly disabled Xie Jin, and incidentally provoked the dissatisfaction of the civil and military ministers with the cabinet.

At this moment, Yang Rong and the others understood that although there was only one sun on their heads, there was also a dark cloud covered by Xu Jingchang.

And these Hanlin ministers also realized one thing, in this Ming Dynasty, if you don't do things right, you can be invincible.

It is also necessary to coordinate with all parties and exchange interests.

Only when the big guys are in favor, or at least not hindered, can there be any hope of success.

Otherwise, no matter how good the recruitment is, if it touches the root of the general's honor, people will not hesitate to fight back.

After this battle, the General Administration Department is honest.

Yang Rong and others reined in their edge, led by Xu Jingchang everywhere, and reported and asked for instructions, not daring to slack off at all.

"Your Highness, do you think this trick I taught you is funny?" Xu Jingchang crossed Erlang's legs and said with a smile.

Zhu Zhanji held the grub cage, the small eyes of the black bean, turned from time to time, and suddenly said: "Uncle cousin, didn't you say that if you take back the power of the General Administration, you will go to the office and give me all the things in this room!" Why aren't you leaving? ”

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids, "Did I say this?" ”

"You're going to lie? I'm going to find the Imperial Grandmother! The little guy immediately glared and said: "Grandpa Huang praised you, I didn't speak, you have a bad stomach, you are not an honest person, you, you are a traitorous villain!" ”

Xu Jingchang glared at him, "You're not as tall as my legs!" It's clear which of us is the villain. ”

Saying that, Xu Jingchang stood up, walked to Zhu Zhanji's side, stretched out his hand, and lifted the little guy up, "Go, go out with me, I'll teach you the second weight of the mental method." ”

Xu Jingchang grabbed Zhu Zhanji, made a little Yanfei, and happily got into the carriage.

They came out of the Xu Mansion and first went to the military department.

Zhu Zhanji was born in the palace of Beiping, although as the former capital of the former dynasty, the pattern of Beiping is far better than that of ordinary cities, but it cannot be compared with Yingtian.

The streets are spacious, the buildings are majestic, horse-drawn carriages are endless, and pedestrians are busy with each other.

Zhu Zhanji opened the car window and looked outside, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was novel and interesting, and gradually, the gnatfish cage in his hand fell out, and he didn't realize it.

Xu Jingchang snorted, "You little cub is also a good guy who likes the new and hates the old." Wait for your father to enter Beijing, let him discipline you well. ”

Zhu Zhanji was not afraid, and said proudly: "My father said that he wanted me to help him please the imperial grandfather and the imperial grandmother, so that he didn't dare to care about me...... By the way, Uncle Cousin, do you know how to please the imperial grandfather? ”

Xu Jingchang smiled slightly, "Your imperial grandfather wants to do big things the most, and it costs a lot of money to do big things, so as long as you can get money, your imperial grandfather will be happy." ”

"Get money? How to make money? The little guy stared at Xu Jingchang.

"It's very simple, you just follow me and look closely."

The carriage stopped, Xu Jingchang jumped down from it, picked up Zhu Zhanji casually, and entered the lobby of the military department directly.

Xu Tongzheng brought the emperor and grandson to visit, who would dare to slack off?

Shangshu Liu Jun greeted him in person, and there was still a little guilt on his face.

After sitting down, Liu Jun said: "Xu Tongzheng, it's all about solving Jin's troubles, but you have been removed from the title of prince and princess, it's really unwilling, you know me, I have always admired the Xu family, and I also know that Tongzheng is a person, so I look forward to being closer and closer." ”

Xu Jingchang smiled, "It doesn't matter, no one will take my official position seriously." Maybe the New Year's birthday, Your Majesty is happy, and he will return it to me, even if I don't pay it back, I am still the Marquis of Wuyang, and I will not delay Yulu. ”

Liu Jun was slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly. Indeed, the young man in front of him is truly blessed and incomparable.

Huaixi Xungui is headed by the Xu family, and Jingnan Xungui cannot ignore the Xu family.

Among the military ministers, the Xu family has a transcendent status, and among the civil officials, there is also Xu Jingchang No. 1.

You will find that this is a character standing on the prostate of the Ming Dynasty.

Leading the way and making a difference.

"Xu Tongzheng is open-minded and sees through, and I am ...... By the way, Xu Tongzheng came over, is there something? ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "It's nothing important, it's just that the emperor and grandson have entered Beijing, live in my mansion, lead him around, and make a familiar face...... By the way, let's chat a little and see what to do next. Liu Shangshu, I have a few simple questions, you can answer them casually. ”

Liu Jun nodded, "Okay, I know everything and say everything." ”

Xu Jingchang smiled: "It's not so complicated, it's just a simple matter of whether it's right or wrong...... The first question I want to ask is, does Liu Shangshu think that young people can't be idle? ”

"It's nature." Liu Jun nodded.

"Then Liu Shangshu thinks that it is time to find a safe livelihood for young people?"

"That's right, homeless people have always been a big problem for the imperial court."

"Liu Shangshu thinks that after the Battle of Jingjing, after four years, is it the collapse of the military system and the flight of military households?"

"Well, that's true." Liu Jun continued to nod.

"Then Liu Shangshu must agree to recruit young homeless people to join the army, and the dilemma is solved?"

"I ......" Liu Jun was instantly dumbfounded.

Xu Jingchang smiled and asked, "Liu Shangshutong disagrees?" Please answer. ”

Liu Jun's old face darkened, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Xu Tongzheng, I agreed to the first few questions, and I can't disagree with the last one...... But you also know that this matter undermines the ancestral system, and the officials, households, and five armies are all governors, and no one agrees to this matter, so don't embarrass me. ”

Xu Jingchang also smiled, "Liu Shangshu, in fact, this matter is not that complicated, as long as you don't call a soldier, it's enough." ”

"Not called soldiers? What's that called? Liu Jun said curiously.

"Reservists."

Liu Jun was stunned and said with a wry smile: "Reserve soldiers are not soldiers? ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Anyway, as long as you don't join the army, you won't be a soldier, right?" ”

Liu Jun frowned, and said, "It seems reasonable, but Xu Tongzheng, what are you going to do with so much effort?" ”

Xu Jingchang smiled, "What I mean is very simple, that is, to recruit a group of young and strong, gather them together first, these people can work and work, can join the army, and can be sent to the yamen below as an errand officer, so they will go to be an errand officer." In short, keep people in check. In this way, there are no idlers in the city, and the imperial court wants to do things, so there are available talents. Your Majesty has made a will, and we will quickly get things done, which is also a great achievement. ”

Liu Jun thought seriously, "Xu Tongzheng, your method is really good, I'm afraid that the Ministry of War can't handle this matter by itself!" ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Naturally, it's not just the military department, I came here to ask for an establishment similar to a military household, and I want a few more school fields, which can train young people, arrange accommodation for them, and ask Liu Shangshu to open up and cooperate." ”

Liu Jun smiled and said briskly: "Cheng, as long as it does not involve the military ancestral system, I will definitely help." ”

Xu Jingchang hurriedly thanked him, and then he came out of the military department, took Zhu Zhanji, and went to the household department.

"Does Xia Shangshu think that Taizu Tuntian's method of raising troops is very good?"

"Yes!"

"Then Xia Shangshu thinks that the opening method with Tuntian is also very good?"

"Naturally, it's all good law."

"Then Xia Shangshu must also agree, it is appropriate to spend a little bit in exchange for peace in the world."

Xia Yuanji frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's not interesting." Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "I just want to ask Xia Shangshu to come up with a little money and food, so that I can recruit young people, train them, and select some craftsmen by the way." ”

Xia Yuanji glared at him, "Xu Tongzheng, you let me pay to help you do things?" I don't have any money, my money is all from the treasury, don't give it! ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Xia Shangshu, don't be busy, you spend some money, I will get the craftsman, and then you can purchase the goods from me, and I will give you Xia Shangshu a preferential price...... At least two percent cheaper than the market, and those who go to the West make more money. ”

Xia Yuanji frowned, "Can it be cheaper?" What about your cargo? ”

"It's not in production yet."

"When will it be produced?"

"Just give me the craftsman."

Xia Yuanji rolled his eyes frantically in anger, "Xu Jingchang, you are a white wolf with empty gloves, you can't understand anything to me?" ”

Xu Jingchang smiled and stretched out his hand, hugged Zhu Zhanji, and put him in front of Xia Yuanji.

"This craftsman training camp I got will be hung in the name of the emperor and grandson, Xia Shangshu, you have the ability to make an emperor and grandson bet here, I won't say anything."
