Chapter 303, the military general Dabi, the civil official Jingcha

Tang Shunzhi actually proposed the method of minting a fixed amount of silver coins himself, which was already a plan that the ministers of state had not put forward at that time. And he also has the idea of banks, reserves, monetary credit.

This champion is well deserved.

Now, Zhu Houxi is even more looking forward to the martial arts hall in October.

Thinking of this, he asked, "How did Lu Bing and Yan Shifan do in the exam?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Lu Bing ranked third in the pro-military test. Yan Xiaogongzi was young and frail, and he didn't pass the Wei Xue exam, and he heard that he was injured in boxing. ”

“…… Didn't you still threaten to win the champion of martial arts? I thought he had really practiced something. ”

“…… Yan Xiaogongzi is used to boasting in Weixue. ”

"No one is strong, and it's one-eyed, so it's normal that you can't beat it." Zhu Houxi had some anticipation, "Go back and send someone to encourage him and let him try again." ”

Let's see what path Yan Shifan can take in this life.

In this life, it is impossible for Yan Song to be able to arrange Yan Shifan to be a "small pavilion elder" because he is "deeply favored by Emperor Dao", just like in history, and Zhu Houxi will not rely on their father and son to make money and stabilize the situation.

If Yan Shifan, who has a somewhat radical personality, can really go in the direction of joining the army, he can expect him to put this ruthlessness and self-confidence in the enemy.

The premise is, of course, that you have to polish it well.

Yan Song is an extremely smart person, knowing what the emperor wants, he will educate his son in a different way.

At this moment, Yan Shifan was lying at home.

He was punched three times in the face, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and his arm was being pushed and held by the doctor invited by the housekeeper.

"That guy is commanding by the king, and he doesn't take the master in his eyes! Da Lao Tzu is ten years old, and he is still relying on martial arts! Yan Shifan gritted his teeth, "Yuan Hongmao, you wait for the master!" ”

“…… Childe, don't move around first, the injury is important. ”

What made Yan Shifan unable to advance was Yuan Hongmao, who was brought back by Wang Zuo from Dongguan, Guangdong.

The housekeeper has been instructed by Yan Song: The emperor must be able to do things, since he has the heart to show Yan Shifan the way, in addition to ability, it is also extremely important to deal with people.

At this moment, the doctor is beside him, and the housekeeper is inconvenient to say anything.

When the doctor left, he said bitterly: "Son, this martial arts is more important in martial arts." Childe's knowledge and strategy, how can they compare? But before the year was crowned, he suffered a loss. Others know the identity of the son, and they may still have a hand. Who is Yuan Hongmao? ”

Yan Shifan has a few classmates who often come and go in Jinyi Weiwei School, and the housekeeper naturally knows about it.

"Isn't that the carpenter's son?" Yan Shifan was indignant.

“…… Childe also knew that he was commanded by the king. The housekeeper knew that he didn't understand, but he still said, "Lu Bing is His Majesty's nursing brother, although he will take care of the king's command and cultivation in the future, but can this favor be greater than Your Majesty's trust?" The son also has the master to take care of him, only Yuan Hongmao, it all depends on the command of the king! Now that he has this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could he not want to get ahead with what he has learned in a few years? ”

The martyr's family in the Battle of Tuen Mun, the first son of Feng Zhiyin in the Yuan family was pushed to Yuan Hongmao's head. But without Wang Zuo's cultivation, Yuan Hongmao would only be an extremely ordinary captain in the Jinyi Guard.

But Wang Zuo, as the first transitional candidate after Luo An and before Lu Bing ascended the throne, was the commander of the Jinyi Guard when the emperor had to use some means to implement the new law.

In the future, if someone wants to turn over his old accounts, in addition to cultivating Lu Bing's kindness, he will naturally have the strength to be more reliable and repay his kindness in the future.

Yuan Hongmao is one of the forces he has cultivated.

Therefore, Yuan Hongmao will not care about Yan Shifan's identity.

"It's just not fair!" Yan Shifan is still angry.

The housekeeper looked at him helplessly: Who made you so big, just grown taller, and you have to go to the same competition with those who are strong and strong?

When it was almost nightfall, the little eunuch arranged by Huang Jin arrived at Yan's house.

Hearing that His Majesty cared about it, and encouraged him, Yan Shifan was quite excited, and the housekeeper thanked him again and again.

"Give me some more cruel medicine!" After the little eunuch left, Yan Shifan gritted his teeth, "Tomorrow I will continue to practice my muscles and bones!" Three years later, I, Yan Shifan, will win the champion of that martial arts! Brother Lu is only the third, and his knowledge and strategy are even more mediocre, he will definitely not be able to win the martial champion. I only use martial arts to compare with them, and the martial champion must be mine! ”

The housekeeper had a question mark on his face: Is it only necessary to use cruel medicine to recuperate? Would you like to stop somewhat?

He misses his master very much.

Yan Song really wants to make meritorious contributions and return to Beijing, and he also thinks about cultivating his son.

was sent to Jinyi Weiwei by the emperor's grace, and the intention of cultivation has been revealed, it is a good road, and Yan Song can't take him with him.

But after all, the son has reached the most youthful and vigorous period and needs to be disciplined and educated!

……

In the vast land of the Ming Dynasty, the children of high-ranking officials like Yan Shifan are a minority after all.

Whether it is martial arts or Wenju, it is really an opportunity for too many low-level children to change their fate.

The propaganda has arrived, the atmosphere has arrived, and the enthusiasm of ordinary people to participate in martial arts is indeed much higher than before.

Somewhere in Nanchang County, Nanchang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, the county's errand officers sat and stood one station.

"This martial arts Enke is not just anyone can sign up! If you want to be lifted, you must be able to lift this stone pier first! Don't be so tight, come one by one! ”

Not far from the crowd, there was a half-sized boy who looked like a beggar.

There was still an unfading red mark on his neck, and there was no innocence in his eyes that belonged to a young child.

At this moment, he quietly looked at the stone pier that loomed in the crowd, and then raised his arm to look.

It should be able to be moved, and it is no heavier than the statue in the broken temple.

But no one will protect him.

Besides, he was only twelve years old.

His home had been broken, his parents had died, and after moving the statue in the ruined temple and using the rags in the temple as a rope, he felt that this was the will of God, and that God did not let him end his life like this.

Wuju ...... In the future, I didn't have the opportunity to continue studying. But according to what Mr. said, after all, he is only one exam away from Xiucai's identity.

If you practice martial arts well and continue to learn by yourself, maybe martial arts is a better way.

But not here, he has already committed a crime. Since he hasn't died now, maybe he will face a hunt tomorrow.

Gotta get out of here.

Where to?

He had never left Nanchang, and quickly chose the direction from the knowledge he already knew.

Walk along the Yangtze River, don't go to those rich places downstream, go to Sichuan.

If you change your surname, you will use your mother's surname.

Liu Xian, whose original surname was Gong, began his wandering career in the year when he was twelve years old, begging on foot into Sichuan.

But he's not the worst.

At this moment, south of Daqing Mountain outside the northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty, this place called Fengzhou Beach is flourishing day by day.

Because the Tumut Department of the Northern Yuan Dynasty gradually settled here in the past few years, grazing, revitalizing agriculture, and building cities...... I heard that the lord of the Tumut tribe, Alta, has intended to change the name of this place to Tumo River.

In the newly built Bansheng City, there are still a large number of Han people.

The ingredients in these Hermes-Epitek are very complex. There are poor border people who take the initiative to submit, there are border people who have been taken captive, and there are also people with ill intentions, such as the White Lotus cultists.

Bansheng is the meaning of house. The Mongols were nomadic and had no fixed residence, but the Han people who built houses and settled down are now a force that I rely on.

I am now nineteen years old and ambitious.

Arak Khan's ascension to the throne is due to his contribution to the fact that Bodi lived as a proton in the Tumut tribe in his early years. Without the support of A, Bodie would not have been able to stabilize the 30,000 households on the right.

Today, the ostensible leader of the 30,000 households on the right wing, Gunbirik Jinong, is Alta's own brother. But I replied that he knew his brother's virtue very well, and he lived for a long time with those Han prostitutes who had been taken captive from Daizhou and other places.

On the contrary, the Han Chinese were useful.

In Bansheng City, they ploughed the fields and worked as craftsmen, which was very useful for the growth of the strength of the Tumut Division.

But attachment alone is not enough.

After plundering a few more times like last year, and hurting the Han people, then send someone to ask for a tribute on the surface, so as to negotiate the conditions.

Nineteen-year-old Alta is planning the future of his Tumut tribe.

Although the scale of this city is still very small, it is still dominated by captive Han slaves.

But there will be more.

I heard that the Ming Emperor in the south is working on some new law. If you do this all along, there will definitely be a big mess, didn't there be a rebellion the year before last?

As long as there is a shortage of soldiers in the south, many Han people will flee to the north.

I continue to plan whether to add another fire this year.

Now on a pasture on the south side of Daqing Mountain, two Mongols are riding horses and driving a half-year-old child.

The child was in rags and running barefoot, and from time to time there was the screeching sound of a horsewhip striking in the air.

The whip hadn't been swung at him yet, but if he slowed down, the whip marks and blood stains on his back spoke for themselves.

"If you run slower than a sheep, how can you drive the livestock for the Great Khan? Don't stop! ”

When his foot stepped on a pebble, the boy slowed down a little and threw another whip on his back.

In addition to the pain, there is fear, more hatred, and stubbornness in the bottom of the heart.

Having been abused by his stepmother since childhood, he fled his hometown last year, but was unfortunately captured by the Mongol invaders from the south.

When I got here, I was like a slave.

Now, at the age of eleven, he can only grit his teeth and endure it, surviving the initial stage when these Mongols want to "tame" him.

One day, he Ma Fang will flee back to Daming and kill all these Mongolian Tartars!

The young children swore in their hearts, but when they looked back, there was no resentment in their eyes, but they were very envious of their skillful riding of horses.

"Want to ride a horse? Tame yourself, hahahaha......" The smug laughter echoed in the grassland, and he raised his whip again, "A two-legged lamb like you also want to tame a horse?" ”

……

Wuju Township Trial Enke is being organized in the provinces of Daming one after another, but at this point in time, first of all, the Ming Dynasty is above the fifth grade, and below the third grade.

The composition of these generals who have entered Beijing one after another is also very complicated.

Could it be that the emperor is crazy? Suddenly evacuate the backbone defense forces everywhere?

No, the provinces will only decide the top three to go to Beijing.

In addition to the border towns, the current internal selection of all capital departments and all industry departments is also a prelude to the reform of the military system in various provinces. The results of the selection affect the subsequent appointments. In the selection process, there are also people who act on their behalf.

First of all, the will and the military order, the holy decree orders these middle-level generals to be compared, who wants to resist the decree?

Secondly, the two or three months of the selection process from the military order to arrive in various places in early March at the latest is really a good opportunity to temporarily separate some people from the low-level generals under the command of the guard.

In the end, when the dust of the selection results has landed, the appeasement of the first three county lords and the rest of the township lords is here, don't you still want to be a local warlord, what is your intention?

Although there are still twists and turns, just like the system, this military general Dabi is not purely a Dabi, it is a tool for restructuring.

The new rules gradually became clear: in the past, the inland guards were paid empty salaries, benefited from the military camps, and used soldiers as slaves. Now, the generals above the fifth rank are all township lords, and the imperial court has issued a separate salary. If you still resist the change of the military tun of the guard to recruitment, then the profit of the empty salary military tun is far greater than this part of the township lord's money, and the five governments and the military department should check it carefully.

Since the fourth year of Jiajing, the 3,000 Beijing battalions that have been successively dispatched to various provinces and each locality have only been commanded and dispatched by the provincial commanders and envoys have been selected to press the front, ready to be pressed at any time.

At the same time, the provincial governors and envoys were digging the "roots" of their trouble.

It's already in the busy farming season, and God knows where so many iron farming tools came from.

"The Baojin Bureau has been ordered by the Holy Order, and now even the weapons have stopped first."

Wu Tingju, the governor of Guangdong, was in Foshan, and in front of him were many merchants of the Foshan Iron Guild.

"I don't need you to stop casting pots, but you have already seen the number of iron farming tools that the Emperor has purchased in the past five months, so you should know it in your heart, right? This iron section, the Department of Households and the General Department of Taxation have already given a note. Those who support His Majesty to do practical things, according to the number of catties of iron and farm tools that are made and sold this year, and how much tax money can be refunded when accounting in the spring of next year, you all have an account in your heart. ”

Wu Tingju's visit was to encourage Foshan's folk iron cast merchants to add more new kilns and cast iron farm tools.

Although the iron pot business did not stop, the imperial court held the power of purchasing, and after several account books purchased in Guangdong were presented by Wei Bin, the good business of tribute pot was gone.

In particular, the ritual pot required by the Ministry of Rites is now greatly reduced due to the simplification of etiquette represented by the rules of worship.

Wu Dinh Ju believes that they can see the situation clearly, not to mention that they already have several months of order volume as evidence.

"Don't worry, Lord Dutai, we will definitely go back and make good arrangements. It's just that the new kiln needs to be added, and more manpower needs to be added, and the iron and stone, firewood, and charcoal are now in a big gap, and the price is increasing day by day. I also hope that the adults of Dutai will sympathize with the hard work of the grass people, and the purchase price is not ......"

"The Governor has been in Guangdong for many years, don't you understand when the Governor?" Wu Tingju glanced at them lightly, "How many merchants in the provinces are now profiting from the merchants needed by the Guangdong City?" As long as you need it, someone will bring it and sell it. In just a few months, there will be no more shortages. This price is a fair price that has been negotiated with you. This is a practical matter for Your Majesty to benefit the people, if you do it with your heart, not to mention that the governor recommended one of you as a provincial sage; At the end of the year, your majesty Longyan is happy, and a reward is ordered to come down, which can be bought with a little money? ”

After all, he is even more serious: "Daming is not the only one who is prosperous in Foshan, Guangdong. If you miss such a good opportunity, this big business purchased by the imperial court will fall elsewhere in the future. This iron farm tool is not a hammer deal, now sell official land, the people have more fields, more strength, this iron farm tool will only be used more and more, there will always be blunt to unusable. On the contrary, it is an iron pot, how many years does it take to use one bite? ”

The foundation of Guangdong's new law is already very good, and Wu Tingju will take over the foundation left by Zhang Fujing, but he can't tell them that there may be a large number of front-line military supplies when he passed through Nanyang in the future.

But no matter what, it will be a great credit to Wu Tingju to make this Guangdong iron industry have a bigger and better foundation and scale.

In Zhejiang, Yan Song fell into a depressed mood for a few days, after all, although the tone of the messenger was euphemistic, Yan Song still heard a little beating from the emperor.

What's coming? Step by step, step by step, in two years, he will be fifty.

To make a contribution to anything, it always takes time to cultivate.

When the imperial court decides whether to reopen the city in Zhejiang, he Yan Song will be in Zhejiang for three years.

In the past three years, can it be that he has merit just because he has no fault, and he wants to return to the capital and sit in the palace of Guoce?

However, although His Majesty beat him, the housekeeper who stayed in Beijing wrote to say that His Majesty had personally sent down an edict to encourage his son, and his favor had not diminished in the slightest.

After Yan Song was depressed for a few days, he sent a letter to Xu Jie and Yang Tinghe.

Since we can't make contributions to the re-establishment of the city division in Zhejiang as soon as possible, let's participate in the long-term overall situation shouldered by Yang Tinghe and the south.

In the city of Nanjing, Yang Tinghe, who has been here for three months, really seems to have come here to retire, and there is no big move.

In addition to the guests coming to the house, on weekdays, I mainly just go to Nanjing Guozijian to care about culture and education, or supervise the emperor's practical matters in the New Year's message, and then care about the agricultural affairs and Wuju Township that are now busy.

Unlike the rest of the provinces, there seems to be no need to reform the government at the level of "province" and north of the province. The two prefectures are directly under the jurisdiction of the six ministries.

The only different move of the top leaders of Nanzhili was that Guo Xun, the Marquis of Wuding, was also ordered to recruit troops to build the Nanjing Zhenwu Battalion.

Train the troops first, and everyone who understands understands it.

Could it be that after a round of investigation and handling by Meng Chun and others a few years ago, and after a round of selection and transfer of many high-ranking officials from Nanjing to Beijing after the restructuring of the Beijing Government Administration this year, Nanjing is not enough to be satisfied?

At the beginning of June, the meaning of the Beijing Ministry of Officials also spread to the Ministry of Nanjing Officials.

This year, it's time for Jingcha.

In June, the military generals of the capital were compared, and the civil officials of the two capitals were inspected.
