Xu Jingchang stared at his fat son, but the little guy didn't take his father in his eyes, just closed his eyes and fell asleep, and let out a stinky fart.

Huang Yunfang was already able to walk, and she came over with a smile.

"Guogong, what are you looking at? Can you still run? ”

Xu Jingchang rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Look at our family's treasure, look at the gift you gave me, and look at the future of the Xu family." ”

Huang Yunfang couldn't help laughing and said, "The eldest husband also cares so much about the love of his children? ”

Xu Jingchang sighed: "What's the point? People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless! You say that a person calculates and works hard all day long, what is it for? It's not a wife and children, it's not a family business! Otherwise, if you live alone, the Lord of the Stove will stick to your legs and stomach, and people will move from house to house, wouldn't you be free? ”

Huang Yunfang listened to her husband's words silently, and suddenly chuckled, "Grandpa Guo, you are different from before." ”

Xu Jingchang was about to ask, but suddenly found that his son's brows moved and his mouth muttered, as if he hated disturbing his sleep...... Xu Jingchang hurriedly stood up, lightly walked his wife out.

When they arrived at the outhouse, the husband and wife sat down, and Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "What's the difference?" ”

Huang Yunfang said with a smile: "In the past, the Guogong seemed to have a momentum of piercing the sky, no matter how big the matter was, he didn't care, but now the Guogong has aged a lot overnight, which is really surprising!" ”

Xu Jingchang touched his chin and chuckled: "I dare to pierce the sky, but if the falling debris hits our house and falls on the heads of our mother and son, wouldn't it be too late for me to regret it!" ”

Huang Yunfang was stunned for a moment and sighed: "What my aunt said is really good. ”

"Auntie, what did she say?" Xu Jingchang said curiously.

Huang Yunfang said with a smile: "My aunt told me that when I didn't have a son before, Your Majesty was also an idle person, jumping up and down, like a big horse monkey. But when he had a son, he immediately changed people, and he also learned to grow a beard and become solemn. ”

Xu Jingchang subconsciously touched his chin, "Really?" ”

"Naturally, it's true, could it be that the grandfather of Feiguo also has to grow a beard?"

Xu Jingchang pondered, "This is not in a hurry, I am just pondering, now Xia Yuanji advocates that the two capitals are equal, and each has its own emphasis." Jian Yi's promise allowed me to block Xia Yuanji's actions and keep Ying Tian's position. Now that the two important ministers have asked me, I really don't know what to do. ”

Huang Yunfang paused, "Guogong feels embarrassed? ”

Xu Jingchang shook his head, "It's not too difficult, if it was in the past, I really wanted to watch a lively scene, or add fuel to the fire, let these two people gamble, and wait for them to lose both, just get out of the court." ”

"Then the master can do the same now!"

Xu Jingchang immediately shook his head, "No, I'm a father, my family and country are all over the world, and I can't come nonsense." Especially the relocation of the capital, there is too much involved, and it must be done with caution. ”

Huang Yunfang smiled faintly, she must admit that the birth of a little doll really made Xu Jingchang a different person.

"Then the grandfather of the country will work hard for the world, and I will take care of my son."

Xu Jingchang nodded, becoming a father, he has the responsibility of a man, he needs to carry this family, and he needs to think about the next generation and let them live in a better country......

Thinking about it like this, it's really stressful!

After another three or five days, Xu Jingchang thought carefully and weighed it repeatedly.

Finally, Zhu Di sent a decree to let him pass.

Before Xu Jingchang left, he rubbed his son's tender little face, not to mention how comfortable it was.

Xu Jingchang, who was in a good mood, greeted the courtiers warmly, which made Xia Yuanji and others feel like a spring breeze.

"Dingguo Gong, you are really different."

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "People, you always have to be mature, Xia Shangshu, in the past, I messed around too much, which caused you a lot of trouble, especially your brother, who was implicated a lot with me, and I felt embarrassed." ”

When Xia Yuanji heard this, he was not relieved at all, but had a feeling of chill down his spine, and instinctively felt that something was wrong.

I was cheated too much by this kid, and my whole spirit was not good.

It can't be that he is a cat and a dog for a while, and he wants to hurt people again, right?

In fact, Xia Yuanji was really worried.

Xu Jingchang really plans to change his mind and be a new person, if not for anything else, he must always give his son a good example!

"Your Majesty, after much thinking by the minister, Beiping still does not have the conditions to become the capital."

Zhu Di snorted: "Why? Is it because the taxes are not enough? ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty, if you only count this year, the tax is really enough." But the account can't be calculated like this, after all, next year, there will not be so many industries to sell, and they will all be sold out this year. ”

Xia Yuanji immediately shook his head and said: "No, with the current momentum, next year's business will be more prosperous, and the finance and taxes will also increase, I think at least within three or five years, the tax revenue of Beiping will exceed 10 million taels, if you count the salt tax, it will be enough to support the capital!" ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Xia Shangshu, I want to ask, where is the focus of Daming right now?" Is Beiping more important, or should it be Tiantian? ”

Xia Yuanji said: "Naturally, it is Yingtian, not only financial and tax matters, but also people and cities...... But in my opinion, the north can still catch up. ”

"Then give the north enough time for them to catch up." Xu Jingchang said: "The current Beiping is like a newborn baby, stretching its arms and growing its legs. Xia Shangshu hurriedly moved the capital over, which was tantamount to adding a noose in advance and carrying a heavy burden, which was really not conducive to the development of Beiping. The intention of moving the capital is to postpone it for ten years to benefit the country and the people. ”

Xia Yuanji was speechless for a while, but Zhu Di said: "Xu Jingchang, are you perfunctory in what you say?" ”

Xu Jingchang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it may be possible to stipulate that every two or three years, the Son of Heaven will tour the north, and Your Majesty can also arrange people to keep abreast of the development of Beiping." If the conditions for moving the capital are met, the minister will definitely agree to move the capital. ”

Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief, he liked Beiping very much and hoped to move the capital over.

But as Xu Jingchang said, Beiping does need time to develop now.

And the South cannot be ignored casually.

A 10-year postponement might also be a good idea.

"Xia Qingjia, what do you think?"

After Xia Yuanji pondered for a while, he said helplessly: "Dingguo Gong Cheng Cheng is a true and fair argument, and the minister agrees." ”

"What about you?" Zhu Di set his eyes on the others again.

Yang Rong, Wu Shan and others seconded the proposal.

Even Huang Guan nodded in agreement.

Zhu Di finally laughed, "Okay! Xu Jingchang, you can be regarded as a response. ”

Xu Jingchang said calmly: "It's not that the ministers can respond to every call, it's just that the courtiers have the country in their hearts and put the world first." ”

Zhu Di laughed even more, "Okay, you're getting better at talking." ”

Then Zhu Di looked at Xia Yuanji and the others and asked, "Although I can put aside the matter of moving the capital for a while, Beiping is dominated by merchants, and the tax is almost equal to Yingtian." I want to arrange someone to manage, what do you think? ”

After a moment of silence, Xia Yuanji stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the original minister planned to move the capital to Beiping, with Beiping as the mainstay, and gradually rectify the entire official system. But now Dingguo Gong is opposed to moving the capital, and if the northern parallel is still retained, it can't be said. After all, a second-grade Shangshu rules over half of the country, and the authority is really too heavy, and the officials below are not easy to match. ”

Zhu Di said: "That's true, then you guys, if you imitate the heavens and set up six departments and nine secretaries in Beiping, how about it?" ”

This time Huang Guan stood up, "Your Majesty, I'm just afraid it won't work." If two sets of bureaucratic systems are established, one must be a fictitious post and the other will be the main one. But now it seems that Ying Tian categorically cannot afford to be in vain, and Beiping is the most responsible, so such an arrangement is not appropriate. ”

Zhu Di nodded, and was embarrassed again, "You all have a point, but the truth can't be eaten, now that the north and south are like this, how can I deal with it?" ”

After being silent for a while, someone finally stood up, Yang Rong bowed and said: "Your Majesty, until now, the minister thinks that it is necessary to set up a yamen, lead the north and the south, coordinate the internal and external, and connect the upper and lower levels, so as to live up to the emperor's favor and not miss the state affairs." ”

Zhu Di snorted: "I've said that I won't revert, haven't you forgotten?" ”

Yang Rong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister is not to restore the appearance, but to suggest that Your Majesty restore the method at the beginning of his ascension to the throne and restore the authority of the General Administration." ”

Zhu Di was even more puzzled, "I don't understand what you say, isn't it very good that the General Administration Department handed it over to Bachelor Xie, what's wrong?" ”

Yang Rong sighed lightly: "Your Majesty, when the Duke of Dingguo was appointed as the general political envoy, he supervised hundreds of officials, and hung the things that every yamen should do on the desk, like Tai'a hanging. Just ask the courtiers, who dares to slack off? Since Xie took over, although the law of determining the country has been continued, how many people care? It's just a formality, which is really embarrassing. ”

Zhu Di frowned, "Yang Rong, are you saying that bachelor's degree is not good?" Does he have lazy government affairs? ”

Yang Rong hurriedly shook his head, "That's not the case, Your Majesty, the minister wants to say that even if it is replaced by someone else, it will not be better than Bachelor Xie, unless this person is the Duke of Dingguo!" ”

Zhu Di chuckled and said, "What, what do you mean, except for Dingguo Gong, no one can do a good job as a political envoy?" ”

Yang Ronglang said: "That's right! Your Majesty, Dingguo Gong is a genius, and now the prosperity of Beiping is enough to prove that Dingguo Gong is talented, if he is still let in Pingzhang Yuan, it would be a pity. ”

Zhu Di thought for a while and said with a smile: "That's right, I can't waste talents...... Xu Jingchang, I decided, and promoted the General Administration Department to the Zhengyipin Yamen, which is the same as the Governor's Office of the Five Armies. ”

The official position of the Ming Dynasty is interesting, and the chief officials of the five military governors are respectively the left and right governors, all of whom are the same product.

The six chief officers are all positive and second-grade.

It developed to the middle and late stages, and used literature to protect the military.

A first-class military general may have to be subject to the civil control of the second and third grades, which is really very insulting.

Zhu Di decided to promote the General Administration Department to Zhengyipin.

On the civilian side, there is also a first-class official position.

"Xu Jingchang, this new political envoy is yours."
