Daming is so big, natural disasters occur from time to time, and Huguang is drought, and Zhu Houxi only said that he knew.

Checking the disaster situation and preparing for disaster relief will be carried out at the same time, and there will also be worries on the side of the State Palace. Solemnly report to Zhu Houxi, firstly, the due process, and secondly, the emperor needs to order to mobilize the strength of many enterprises under the Assets Bureau.

For example, it has become a grain storage line that integrates grain production and grain storage, as well as the transfer operation under the Emperor Ming Ji, plus the River Transportation Bureau.

Zhang Lun was called to listen to the will, and went to arrange it non-stop - His Majesty had a warning: after three years, the enterprises have not changed, and he, the British father, will go home to retire.

At this time, the people of the capital did not do anything because of the Huguang disaster, but were all discussing the general election of the provincial army teams.

This was officially done last year, and the first year did not cause much turmoil.

But since the construction of the university field on a vacant lot east of the Temple of Heaven at the end of last year, this year's general election has become a hot topic.

The school field is managed by the Ministry of War, and the current book of the Ministry of War is Wang Hong, who entered Beijing with a blood book during the Tuen Mun Naval War and later made meritorious contributions.

He didn't know much about the significance of this matter, and the matter was only handed over to a right attendant to connect with the five mansions on weekdays.

Wang Feng served as the secretary of the military department, and he had an extremely important mission.

Today, he was ordered to enter the palace and waited with Yang Yiqing for the emperor to come over from the Yangxin Palace.

Not long after, Zhu Houxi only brought Yang Bo here, and after entering the hall, he saw the two of them gathered around the sand table.

This is the terrain of the Ming Dynasty that has been continuously crafted and perfected for more than two years. Of course, there are quite a few mistakes, but they are far more detailed and useful than purely hand-drawn maps.

"How's the discussion going?" Zhu Houxi asked after accepting their observation, after sitting down.

The two of them had already sat down, and Yang Yiqing said when he heard this: "Wang Shangshu has stayed in Guangdong and Zhejiang, and Wang Shangshu also commanded the troops when Jiajing captured the west bank of Taiyuan in three years. Looking at it now, the Ming Sea is very wide. If you only practice a serious sea master, I'm afraid it's best to be in Su Song. Close to Nanjing, the Yangtze River Sailor has some foundation. From Susong to the north and south, it is not far. ”

"Su Song?" Zhu Houxi frowned.

Yang Yiqing said bluntly: "Your Majesty, if the sailor is successful, he must also be in control." If it is located in Ningbo, Taiyuan, Fujian or Guangdong, it is too far from the center. Nanjing, after all, there are still six departments, and there are garrisons. Moreover, Nanzhili has one more army, which is also more secure. ”

Zhu Houxi understood what he meant.

If this sailor is trained, his combat power is very extraordinary. In the future, if the leader of the troops is not easy to control, it will really be easy to divide the overseas side - such as the island of Taiwan.

Let's set it up closer to Nanjing, and this main base will be easier to control.

Zhu Houxi doesn't want to be in Nanzhili, because the three border cities of Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Liaodong, the two parks of light industry and heavy industry in Beijing, and the convenient layout of many enterprises are slowly eroding the future of many wealthy families in Nanzhili.

In the next ten or twenty years, Nanzhili will no longer be able to form a strong rebound ability in many aspects such as taxation, grain endowment, culture and education. At that time, it will be the time to break the other invisible center of Nan Zhili.

“…… Your Majesty, you will definitely go north in the future. Money and grain reserves, Jiangnan is still the top priority. At the national policy meeting, the Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing no longer has the right to collect the grain from the three provinces of Nanzhili, Zhuzhou, Jiangxi, Huguang and Zhejiang, and it is better to be safe. ”

Hearing Yang Yiqing's words, Zhu Houxi sneered: "Starting this year, the Beijing household department will collect the national grain endowment, what do they have to be unstable?" It can only be said that in the past, Nanjing's household department collected too many internal information. ”

"The naval division is set up in Susong, building warships and ordnance, purchasing food and military supplies, and always allowing some wealthy merchants of the Jiangnan to make more inputs. Even if there is an inside story, it will not make many people in Jiangnan panic and miss the plan to prepare for the northern expedition in the future. ”

Yang Yiqing felt that the emperor's mood had not been very stable for more than half a year. Now in the face of this matter, I don't know why I have to express such obvious dissatisfaction.

Is it because after the news of Qinghai was transmitted by the right wing of Meng Yuan, some people re-mentioned the importance of Nanjing's national capital? That's nothing, don't think about winning, just think about defeat first.

Zhu Houxi shook his head: "Why do you want to set up a sea division, the purpose is very clear, that is, for the future events of Nanyang." You can't tie your hands and feet because of the consideration of good domination, and this naval division is located in Guangdong, between Dongguan and the islands to the south. Nanzhili's business is easy to do. ”

Yang Yiqing's eyebrows revealed some hidden worries.

Let's find another opportunity and advise Fei Hong together.

Nan Zhili's matter is actually not so urgent. For the imperial court, it would be good to prepare a little more official money, and the grain that could really be collected would definitely be a lot more than in the past. If you make a big move, after all, it will still involve some operational unspoken rules in the homes of nearly half of the officials in the entire imperial court and local governments.

……

Since the topic of last year's major policy meeting, the emperor's substantive action of wanting to move the knife against Nanjing, another Beijing, has already begun.

At that time, the results of the battle situation of the right wing of the Mengyuan in Qinghai were still unclear, and there were many steps to advance provided by the general election, and the resumption of the right of the Nanjing household department to collect the grain of the Nanzhili and the three provinces did not encounter much resistance.

But all the new officials were selected, and the situation became clear. Qinghai changed hands, and the right wing could attack the two towns of Gansu and Ningxia from the north and south, and even Fei Hong's attitude was more conservative.

It's not that he thinks that Da Ming will be difficult to defeat Meng Yuan in the future, it's just that the decisive battle of destroying the country that will come sooner or later, and the pressure on Da Ming's money and food will be borne by Fei Hong. Even for the sake of completing the task, he can't let anything happen to the basic tax market in Jiangnan.

In order to prepare for the war in the north, and to take precautions to formally prepare for the establishment of the naval division, Fei Hongfu has been visited by officials, scholars, and some people sent by the Jiangnan clan in the past few months.

Nothing else, worried about raising taxes on Jiangnan for the sake of the future war. In addition, the new law and new learning have become popular, and many officials of the older generation and those who cannot keep up with the rhythm do not want to lose Nanjing, a good place for the elderly.

Directly to the office, where is the willing?

Most of them are not low in official quality, even if they just go to Nanjing to do an idle job, it is good that they still have some power in their hands.

Fei Hong was caught in the middle, very difficult.

He was well aware of the emperor's determination to eventually abolish the six departments of Nanjing, and it was clear that the emperor would eventually make Nanzhili a province located in the same way as other provinces. How to dismantle and how to change it is nothing more than waiting until the time is ripe.

The new era of the Ming Dynasty has come, how many remnants of the old era can be loaded on the ship of the old era in Nanjing?

Zhang Fujing and these people squeezed into the center with great momentum, and some of the people who couldn't jump up this time were like Zhang Lun, who was previously the Minister of State, but they were actually just a seniority. Their talents and practical abilities are visibly inferior to those of some young people.

For them, the best hope is to stay up for another three or five years, to be able to go to Nanjing Zhubu to mix the title of Shangshu, and enjoy better retirement treatment and posthumous fame.

Fei Hong can't ignore them, after all, Daming now has a lot of external pressure, and internal affairs must be stable.

The disaster situation in Huguang, the preparation of autumn in the border towns, and the start of this year's grain supply...... Everything is pressed on the State Palace.

"Mao Gong, go to the governors of Nanzhili, Jiangxi, Huguang and Zhejiang provinces, you and Yongxiu still advise you." Fei Hong said solemnly to Zhang Fujing, "The people of Tiantu have all recreated the book, don't make any extraneous branches, just collect it according to the amount." It's okay to say that if each of them attacks each other with a bullet seal, and everyone has to wait for investigation and self-defense, then it will be a mistake in state affairs. ”

He is not worried about any big chaos in Jiangnan, he is only worried that many officials from Jiangnan are looking for a breakthrough point from other angles to trigger disputes between the DPRK and the party. How many people who are officials have no black material on them at all? If a protest is provoked in this way, it will be a shutdown of many government affairs.

This is not just a few official positions, this is the chain reaction brought about by the deprivation of many operating spaces and preferential treatment enjoyed by the three provinces of Beijing in the past because of Nanjing's substitution.

They want to express their dissatisfaction, and they will definitely say something. If the imperial court wants to maintain the imperial program, it must not sit idly by and ignore some impeachments. If you are not careful, it will become a trend of attacking each other.

This is all a struggle within the rules, even the emperor can't ignore it, just like when Yang Tinghe attacked Wang Qiong, the emperor must finally give up a Liang prince.

Zhang Fujing understood the importance of it, nodded and said: "There will be no extraneous branches." There is still a disaster in Huguang, and it will be reduced and reduced as appropriate after verification. ”

How to collect grain in other provinces will be handled by the political envoys.

However, in the past, Nanjing's household department was responsible for the three prefectures of Nanzhili Zhufu Prefecture and Jiangxi, Huguang, and Zhejiang, and this time it is also a new task for Beijing's household department.

After Yang Tinghe and Jiang Mian became officials, as a large number of old ministers withdrew from the court, Zhu Houxi could not choose enough weighty and talented enough to continue to take over as the governor of Yingtian and Huaiyang.

These two messengers were temporarily revoked.

Yang Shen's household department has become larger and larger, and there is a relatively independent tax department, and the thirteen officials department is now entering the busiest time of the year.

On Wang Hong's side, Hu Zhan, who served as the imperial history of Nanjing Caojiang, was now promoted to the right attendant of the military department, and he was in charge of the preparation of the naval division and set off for Guangdong.

On September 23, the team from Duoyan arrived to the east of the capital.

Tana was very curious when she heard the deafening applause from the south, and asked, "Tong Dianzheng, what is going on there?" ”

After being elected, she learned the official language from this female official, and now she is only familiar with her.

Next to the carriage, it was clear that she would dress the female official of this foreign tribe in the future, and replied first: "It is the people of the capital who are applauding the military teams selected by the provinces to compete in Beijing." ”

After that, he admonished again: "Niangniang, after entering the palace, it is better to be cautious in words and deeds." Sissy now...... Too curious. ”

She was a little helpless, the temperament of this foreign lady was too different from that of other mothers.

Along the way, she opened the curtain and looked around, and the female official was very worried that she would be rude when she entered the palace later.

Tana said yes, but her eyes were still looking at the big school field over there.

To her, it looked like a walled fortress. There are stone walls around it and there are many flags planted on it.

A military team competition? I don't know what the situation is inside, but it seems that tens of thousands of people cheered there.

"! The celebrant's father-in-law is already waiting, so you might as well sit in the car! is about to enter the city, how can the mother be glimpsed by the people? ”

“…… Oh. ”

After a reminder, Tana finally reluctantly lowered the curtain.

So, what is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, can't you take a look?

I entered the city like this, and I only listened to the bustle outside all the way, but I couldn't take the liberty of opening the curtain to look outside.

Then it gradually quieted down, and after the car stopped somewhere for a while, it passed through the doorway as if it had entered the city before.

After a while, I heard the eunuch who was called Gonggong Zhang's palm seal shouting respectfully outside the carriage: "Niangniang, please get off the carriage first." ”

Tana nervously watched as the curtain on the front of the carriage was opened, and Tong Dianzheng was reaching out to help her out of the carriage.

Zhang Zuo looked at this Jinxian beauty dressed in Meng Yuan's costume, and his eyes couldn't help but be attracted by her clear eyes, and then he quickly lowered his head first.

"According to the order of the Queen Mother, please Tana Niangniang first receive Tao Zhenren's exorcism ceremony in front of the Qin'an Palace, and then bathe and change clothes, and then send to the Heart Cultivation Palace to see the queen mother and the queen mother."

Tana didn't know why, and then she watched in a daze as a Taoist walked around her with a magic weapon.

Tao Zhongwen was also very helpless.

Over the years, he has actually gradually accepted his identity as a "Chemistry Master", and to be honest, those various wonderful reactions did make him feel like he was searching for the Great Dao.

It was just burned out today, and there is indeed urine in the ashes, and the kind of phosphorus that His Majesty said, this result shows that they can be used as fertilizer, but the reason why they are afraid is not small.

As a result, he received the order of the Queen Mother, who wanted to exorcise evil spirits for the beauty of Duoyan Sanbu first.

Tao Zhongwen was absent-minded, still thinking about the reactions in those bottles and cans.

And Tana gradually understood that the emperor's mother was worried about something unclean about her, which was like a shaman exorcism.

She pursed her lips and lowered her head, standing there without the intention of being amazed by the Forbidden City she had just seen, only to feel that many humiliations were coming to her heart.

She is as pure as the white clouds and dew on the prairie, where can there be anything unclean?

Then, many people helped her bathe and wash over and over again.

Tana, who had already been inspected once in the embassy, once again faced stricter scrutiny from the female officials in the palace. In fact, they just carefully inspected Tana's body for problems, whether there was any smell, etc., like the original draft girls, but those actions made Tana feel like a cow and sheep being scrutinized.

When he saw the Queen Mother and the Empress, he only coldly admonished and instructed him to abide by the rules, not to charm the emperor, and not to say anything to the emperor to ask for benefits for the three departments of Duoyan.

Tana just kept her head down in the palace and went through one process after another. Hungry, she was only allowed to eat a little first, so as not to lose her stomach when she saw the emperor.

Following Zhang Zuo and the boy Dianzheng, Tana passed by the palace known as Changle Palace and saw a girl who was also not Han Chinese.

She was taken aback and couldn't help but look at her twice.

"That's the lady concubine, you should see the courtesy." Tong Dian saluted Wen Suyun before reminding Tana.

Watching the excitement at the gate of the palace is naturally the lively Wen Suyun and Carolina, Qu Mei and others who live in the same palace with her and have a beauty position.

Tana saluted, and then was taken to the apse of the Qianqing Palace.

When I sat there quietly, I could only hear a roar from the front yard.

"This year's natural wind, can Suzhou Mansion be so badly affected? Jiangnan Provinces, Suzhou alone destroyed three percent of the crops? Lu Bing, you send someone to investigate thoroughly! ”

"Your Majesty is angry......" several voices came.

Tana stared blankly, then uneasy.

Why was he so unlucky, when he entered the palace, he happened to meet the emperor and get angry......

Zhu Houxi was indeed very angry now, and the cold glint in his eyes was full.

Is it the reliance on Jiangnan's grain during the declaration of war the year before last that gave some people courage?
