Among the six Shangshu, Huang Guan is the most polite, only for the Yishang problem, and the rest are merciless...... In the court, they know exactly how many shortcomings there are, and now that they deal with it, it is called a handy.

Look at this appearance, it won't be long before you can calm down the place and return to the dynasty with great achievements.

And the few people who had just taken charge of the ministry and came into contact with power were all frightened and restless.

For example, Yang Shiqi visited Xu Jingchang and chatted with him, saying that it was the six Shangshu, and when he was in the court, he commanded hundreds of officials and took charge of the government.

Now that I'm out, I still say the same thing, and the power is overwhelming.

"Dingguo Gong, some people say that Jian Xia is heavy in the court, and heavy outside the court...... I don't know at all that the General Administration Department is in charge of the government, and it is a Zhengyipin Yamen, which is really laughable. Some officials also see it this way, saying that the prince is just a decoration. ”

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Yang Shangshu, this is actually true. Regardless of whether the grade is upgraded or not, the Department of Communications and Administration still gives priority to dredging government affairs, and will not be in charge of anything specific...... Now the important ministers go to the local area to punish the traitor and eliminate the evil, which is really a great contribution to the court. Whatever they want, as long as it is reasonable, the ministries must deal with it expeditiously and without delay. If you have made great achievements, you must also announce it to the world in time. If there is a villain who slanders, he must be severely punished! In short, the court must be a strong backing for the princes, and there must be no restraint, you know what I mean? ”

Yang Shiqi nodded hurriedly, "Xia Guan understands that Dingguo Gong is really the prime minister's mind, and he can compare with the ancient Ming Minister!" ”

After saying a few more flattering words, Yang Shiqi left without being salty.

He hit a nail in Xu Jingchang's place.

I thought that Xu Jingchang was jealous of Jianyi and others, and they were not allowed to return to the court.

didn't expect that Xu Jingchang was afraid that the world would not know...... He exerted all his strength to preach for a few people, and did not hesitate to write and ink.

Calling Jian Yi the pillar of the country, and calling Xia Yuanji is Xiao He of the world.

The touted words make people a little acid reflux.

In the past few months, Jian Yi and others have become famous, and everyone in the government and the opposition knows about it.

Zhu Di was also very concerned about these things, and he took advantage of the Wuying Palace meeting to call Xu Jingchang over, and the rest of the important ministers were also listed.

"Dingguo Gong, now that the important ministers are inspecting the place, how many achievements can be made to play on me?"

Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty, this time the princes are in order to clear the problem of hundreds of officials, and now they have cleared up more than 10 million taels of fire consumption, all of which have been included in the imperial court revenue. In addition, 3 million stone of grain that had been given to the vassal king's mansion were recovered. In addition, local commercial taxes have also been rectified, which has greatly increased annual revenues. These are the merits of Jianyi and Xia Yuanji and others, and the minister thinks that they should be rewarded. ”

Zhu Di nodded, "I don't have to worry about this beforehand." I ask you, these are abolished, but the magistrates will complain? What is the response of the Department of General Affairs? ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty, this minister has been studied, taking the Beijing official as an example, because it is not easy to live in Yingtian and the cost is too great, so the Yingtian allowance is set." Now that I think about it, some remote states and counties have a hard life and a difficult life. It seems that foreign officials should also be given some subsidies so that they can live a little easier. ”

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, muttered repeatedly, and nodded: "Yes, but the specific standards must be handed over to me." ”

Grandma's, you are not allowed to spend my money indiscriminately!

Xu Jingchang didn't care, and even smiled: "Thunder, rain and dew are all heavenly graces, and this matter should be determined by His Majesty himself, so as to show His Majesty's benevolence." ”

Xu Jingchang promised to be so happy, he didn't care at all, Zhu Di wanted to take care of the affairs of Yulu, and soon there would be piles of official documents sent to him, so that His Majesty could study it carefully and ensure that there were no mistakes.

Zhu Di said again: "In addition to finance and taxation, what else is the credit?" ”

"The next thing is the rule of officials." Xu Jingchang said: "So far, the minister has received dozens of impeachment notes, among which the implicated corrupt officials are all over the provinces, and many of them have committed many crimes. The minister has drawn up a list for His Majesty to see, and then the canonical punishment will be made clear to set an example. ”

Zhu Di nodded again, "I will also ask about this matter...... Dingguo Gong, is there anything else you want to play? ”

"Yes!" Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty, according to the report from Yunnan, they have gained a lot on the issue of cleaning up the toast, and I want to ask Your Majesty to adjudicate." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhu Di said curiously.

For the Ming Dynasty, the southwest has always been a very troublesome problem and has to be faced...... When Zhu Gaochi went to Jiangxi to check the localities, he once proposed in his proposal to refer to Jiangxi's methods to rectify the southwest and promote the reform of land and return to the river.

Zhu Gaochi raised this matter, and the rest of the courtiers also gave advice.

But when Xu Jingchang started this matter, he found that it was not simple.

Because in the southwest, to a large extent, no national boundaries have been drawn, and what is the Ming Dynasty is almost a metaphysics.

Tao Yuanming said that the people in the Peach Blossom Garden did not know whether there was a Han or Wei or Jin.

When it came to Toast, things were pretty much the same.

For example, many Tusi in Yunnan did not understand the complex structure of the Ming Dynasty, and they only had to deal with Yunnan Province, which was governed by Kunming.

In their opinion, this is a very powerful country, and they call it "He".

"Sure enough, it's a savage, but I don't know that Ying Tiancai is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and Kunming is just a provincial capital." Zhu Di snorted.

Xu Jingchang smiled instead: "Your Majesty, in fact, there is nothing wrong with them...... It is very difficult for these people to understand the difference between the county and the hereditary toast. And Kunming belongs to Yingtian, they belong to Kunming, and below them, there are many hereditary heads, layer by layer, nothing more. ”

Zhu Di thought about it, frowned and said, "Sure enough, it's a foreigner...... This won't work, I can't allow the great tomorrow, and there are still places that are so disobedient to the king, it is imperative to change the land and return to the stream! ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty, the minister has to remind you that although these Tusi paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, they also made offerings to Burma, Siam and other places, and they stepped on a few boats. And Da Ming may not be the biggest one. ”

Zhu Di took a breath and said coldly: "What do you mean, they may not really be loyal to the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"That's true."

"Humph!" Zhu Di was furious, "In this case, I will definitely start an army to fight, you hurry up and draw up a plan and mobilize troops and horses." ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it is true that troops need to be transferred, but it is not aimed at these toasts." ”

Zhu Di was puzzled: "What do you mean?" Don't go around in circles, just tell me directly. ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty, the minister has also been thinking hard and thinking about how to change the land and return to the stream...... Thinking about it, I feel that it is very troublesome, to use troops against the mountains, just the heavy food and salary, will consume the national strength of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Di said: "Could it be that the southwest can not be left alone with a few problems?" ”

"No, absolutely not." Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "The minister learned about the situation in the southwest, and he had a whim...... Many Tusi paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty at the same time, as well as other countries...... They don't understand what a state is, they only know who is most powerful, and they follow whomever they want. If you want to make the truth clear for a while, you can't do it. In that case, can we do the opposite...... For example, there are Tusi to Daming and Burmese Nagong...... We sent troops to crusade against Burma, reproached them, accepted tribute from the Ming vassal state, and tried in vain to be on an equal footing with the Ming Dynasty. ”

After Xu Jingchang finished speaking, the courtiers present, including Zhu Di, all looked at him dumbfounded.

This person's brain circuitry is really different from the average person.

It's not that Toast has stepped on several boats, and he may not be loyal to Daming...... Don't be afraid, which boats they step on, just pull these boats out and deal with them one by one.

As long as all the objects of their tribute are all Daming, who dares to say that they are not Daming?

Let's solve the outer ring, and then close the door and slowly dissolve the toast, which is absolutely self-defeating and gets twice the result with half the effort.

Yang Rong admired Xu Jingchang's thoughts, but he had doubts: "Dingguo Gong, since Tusi is not easy to deal with, isn't it more troublesome to deal with Burma, Siam and other countries?" ”

This time there was no need for Xu Jingchang to say, Zhu Di smiled and said: "The reason why Tusi is difficult is that their location is rugged, and in the event of a war, they hide in the mountains, and the imperial court has a million troops, but there is nowhere to exert force, if they crusade against Siam and Burma, their country is there, and it is not difficult for the imperial court to mobilize troops and horses, and it is not difficult to decide in a war." ”

Xu Jingchang immediately praised: "My emperor Shengming, this is the minister's method of changing the land and returning to the stream." However, this method has not yet completely solved the problem, and if we want to eliminate the toast, we must also give the mountain people a way out, as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince advocates, and allow them to live and work in peace and contentment, and be rich and happy. ”

Zhu Di bowed his head, "Dingguogong's words are quite safe...... It's just that such a big thing as the southwest must be dealt with by someone, who can control the overall situation? ”

Xu Jingchang said: "The minister proposed this matter, naturally the minister wanted to deal with it, but considering the need to be familiar with government affairs, and to be vigorous and resolute, the minister in terms of experience, quite lacking, if you can choose one or two highly respected ministers, go to the southwest, and control the overall situation, you will definitely be able to make contributions within three or two years!" ”

Zhu Di smiled, obviously agreeing with Xu Jingchang's opinion, and the next step was to find someone who was highly respectable.

"Your Majesty, the minister recommends the official department to be the secretary of the book, the official of Jian Tianguan is proficient in selection, appointing talents, and has rich experience, and if he goes to the southwest, he will definitely succeed." Yang Rong admonished decisively.

Yang Shiqi hesitated slightly, and then stood up, "Your Majesty, if you want to talk about a rich country and rich people, Xia Shangshu is also the best candidate, and he will definitely be competent." ”

The corners of Zhu Di's mouth turned up, revealing a faint smile, "Since that's the case, you guys will discuss it and see who is suitable." ”

After the Wuyingdian meeting, Yang Shiqi couldn't wait to come to see Xu Jingchang, Yang Rong, Yang Pu, Jin Youzi, and Hu Guang also came.

What is a high-end player, they are five-body cast at this time.

In the eyes of ordinary people, if they are afraid of Jian Yi and others, they will desperately suppress them, so that they will not be able to return to the court and threaten themselves...... But this is easier said than done.

These people have deep roots in the DPRK and China, and they cannot be easily stopped.

Secondly, Zhu Di is not a foolish emperor, he will definitely not be easily deceived...... Therefore, there is a high probability that these people will return to the DPRK, and they will have a great enmity at that time.

But Xu Jingchang developed another way of thinking, not suppressing them at all, but improving their status and praising their abilities.

And then throw out a hundred thousand urgent, extremely important things.

At this time, they can't go either.

Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji, they are both characters who stand at the fixed point of a hundred officials.

At this moment, he is going to be dominated by a few late-born juniors.

There is a huge knowledge hidden in this, in fact, those who are famous and seem to be omnipotent, do not necessarily have the greatest authority.

On the contrary, the greater the fame and the greater the ability, the more people will be used as guns to charge in front.

For example, Sun Wukong, who worked hard and exhausted all the way, how can he be as easy as the two junior brothers?

It's called killing!

"Dingguo Gong, who do you think is more suitable to go to the southwest?" Yang Rong said respectfully.

Xu Jingchang said: "I sent you a survey result a few days ago, Yunnan is rich in copper mines, how much use copper has, you naturally know. ”

Yang Shiqi nodded, "Yes, the imperial court lacks copper, so that copper coins have not been enough...... In this way, it seems that Xia Shangshu needs to be let go. ”

"Wait." Xu Jingchang stopped Yang Shiqi, "Think about it again, who are you going to send?" ”

Several people hesitated for a while, shouldn't Xia Yuanji go?

After a long while, Yang Rong slapped his head suddenly, "It should be to let Jian Shangshu go, he can only succeed if he goes!" ”

Why don't you let Natsuhara go?

Because Lao Xia really understands finance and taxation!

With his shrewdness, he developed the copper mines in Yunnan and guaranteed to strive for the greatest profits...... But then again, if there are not enough benefits, how can you expect the people below to contribute?

If the righteousness is easy to fool, more people will flock to Yunnan, just to get more benefits.

These people figured out the key and agreed that it was more appropriate to be righteous.

Between talking and laughing, it decided the fate of the heavenly officials of the ministry, and I have to say that being in the middle of the court really occupies the heavenly time.

It's just that a few people thought about it and found another problem...... Why are they not arranged in the proper yamen, are they also knowledgeable?

However, there is no time to ask more, the big guy has to hurry up, not only to prevent those people from returning to the court, but also to quickly straighten out the situation of the various ministries and seize the power in their own hands, this is the right thing to do.

And at this time, a secret report arrived in the capital.

Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, privately manufactured weapons in Yuanzhou, raised private soldiers, and recruited craftsmen...... The heart of rebellion is clearly revealed, and I hope that the court will take action in time to avoid causing trouble!

What?

Zhu Gaoxu wants to rebel!

Could it be that this product is still on this path?

Xu Jingchang's brows furrowed, he was deeply skeptical.

But what it said above is that he has a nose and eyes, and it also says that Zhu Gaoxu secretly built weapons...... That's very touching.

Because Zhu Di had secretly built weapons in Yanwang's Mansion at the beginning.

It's a remake of a classic.

While Xu Jingchang was thinking about it repeatedly, Zhu Di suddenly sent someone to call him over.

"Xu Jingchang, do you think the second child has a rebellious heart? I want to hear the truth! Zhu Di said heavily.
