At night, the Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

At this moment, in front of Jiajing, there were two newspapers that had just been printed, one was a newspaper for officials and gentry, and the other was a newspaper for the common people.

This is the time of day, the newspaper issued by the imperial court, the content of the newspaper, in addition to the official edict of the imperial court to abolish the contemporary Yan Sheng Gong Kong Shangxian, as well as the many crimes committed by the Confucian family in recent years.

After Jiajing finished reading the contents of the newspaper, he immediately looked at Lu Fang on the side and said encouragingly.

"Well, Lu Fang, well done!"

Lu Fang, who had been secretly observing since just now, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Jiajing's words.

Immediately, I saw that he reacted, arched his hand to Jiajing, and said humbly.

"Where, this is all your majesty's credit!"

"Hmm."

In the face of Lu Fang's compliment, Jiajing only responded imperceptibly, and then changed his words and followed suit.

"Lu Fang, tomorrow we will formally discuss the matter of changing the land and returning it to the river at the cabinet meeting, I have an idea, you might as well check for me first and see if there is anything that needs to be improved?"

As soon as Jiajing's words fell, Lu Fang immediately cheered up his spirit and responded respectfully.

"Please also make it clear to Your Majesty!"

After this, I saw Jiajing clear his throat and speak unhurriedly.

"As the cabinet said earlier, the Southwest Tusi side has not been very peaceful, since this is the case, then there is no need for me to keep them anymore, it is better to take this opportunity to attack them first!"

"I think so, isn't there soon that the imperial court is about to hold an exam specifically for the clan and nobles?"

"I'm wondering if I can take this opportunity to select some of the clans and nobles to serve in the local area, so that they can have a good experience!"

When Jiajing said this, he turned his gaze to Lu Fang and asked next.

"Lu Fang, what do you think, what do you think of this idea?"

When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, he thought about it for a long time before he responded.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks that your idea is very good, the clan and the nobles naturally do not need to doubt their loyalty to the imperial court, and it is naturally appropriate to send them to serve in the southwest, but it is just ......"

"Just what?"

Jiajing saw that Lu Fang's face showed embarrassment, raised his eyebrows, and asked next.

Seeing Jiajing's gaze fall on him, Lu Fang immediately plucked up his courage and spoke cautiously.

"Your Majesty, the people in the southwest are fierce, the local terrain is very complicated and full of miasma, the slave and maid are worried that the clan and the nobles may complain about this at that time, after all, ......"

After listening to Lu Fang's worries, Jiajing waved his hand and immediately spoke.

"Lu Fang, you don't have to worry about this, when the time comes, those clans and nobles will rush to send their children to the southwest!"

When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, a look of shock suddenly appeared on his face, but he quickly figured out the reason behind this and cautiously confirmed to Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean ......"

"Well, that's right, I mainly want to take this opportunity to give them a try, if anyone performs well, then I will consider it and focus on promotion, and this is exactly what those clans and nobles dream of!"

Jiajing paused for a moment when he said this, and then added.

"Since the clan and the nobles want to take this opportunity to revive their former glory, then I will give them this opportunity, and it is up to them whether they catch it or not!"

After listening to Jiajing's explanation, Lu Fang was immediately convinced, only to see him leaning down and saying respectfully.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

After that, I saw Jiajing turn his words, turn his gaze to Lu Fang on the side, and command in a deep voice.

"Lu Fang, study ink for me, I want to write a letter to Feng Yue in person, so that he can prepare in advance!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Feng Yue, a five-year jinshi in Jiajing, is currently the governor of Huguang, and as a squire of the military department, he is the governor of Huguangchuan Gui's military affairs.

This time, Jiajing planned to inform Feng Yue in advance of the news that the imperial court was about to carry out the reform of the land and return to the stream, so that he could mobilize ordnance, heavy grain and grass and other materials in advance, and be ready to deploy troops to quell the rebellion at any time!

Lu Fang quickly researched the ink for Jiajing, and gave up his position, and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty!"

"Hmm."

After that, I saw Jiajing spread out the pen and paper, organized the language in his mind, and then took the pen and wrote it on the letterhead.

"Wangzhi, the reason why I am writing this letter is to inform you that the imperial court will soon implement the policy of changing the land and returning to the river during the Yongle period!"

"Since the Tusi in the southwest has always been uneasy, therefore, I plan to start with them first, you must mobilize ordnance, baggage, grain and grass and other materials in advance, and be ready to deploy troops to quell the rebellion at any time!"

"Not only that, but I will also ask the Weapons Division to send you a large number of new weapons to suppress the rebellion, and ......"

When the last word fell, Jiajing breathed a sigh of relief, and then carefully checked it from beginning to end, and only after confirming that it was correct, Jiajing put the brush aside.

Next, in the process of waiting for the ink to dry, Lu Fang seemed to suddenly think of something, and boldly confirmed to Jiajing.

"Could it be that Your Majesty is planning to take this opportunity to test the paper shell bullets produced by the Ordnance Division?"

When Jiajing heard this, he glanced at Lu Fang, nodded, and spoke.

"Well, exactly, although the paper-shell bullets were given priority to the Shenji Battalion, they still had to be tested on the battlefield!"

When Jiajing said this, after looking Lu Fang up and down, he turned to ask.

"By the way, Lu Fang, last time, the household department allocated all the money that should be allocated, and how many paper shell bullets have been produced by the current Weapons Division?"

When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, he thought about it for a long time before giving his own response.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to forgive me, the slave doesn't know much about this, but according to the output of the Weapons Division, there should be tens of thousands of paper shell bullets."

"Well, I know!"

Jiajing did not comment on Lu Fang's answer, but nodded, and immediately responded.

After this, Jiajing saw that the ink on the letter paper had dried out, and immediately put it into the envelope, turned his gaze to Lu Fang, and commanded in a deep voice.

"Lu Fang, send this letter to Feng Yue's hands for me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave will send it as soon as possible!"

I saw Lu Fang solemnly take the envelope from Jiajing's hand and answer in a deep voice.

……

Beijing, Yanfu.

At this moment, in the study, I saw Yan Song slowly take off the reading glasses he was wearing, and then took his eyes off the newspaper in front of him, and looked at Yan Shifan on the side, and then spoke.

"Did you see it, Yan Shifan, if we were nosy before, then what is written in this newspaper is probably us!"

"You must know that the matter of the newspaper has always been handled by His Majesty himself, so you can see Your Majesty's attitude towards that Kong Shangxian!"

After Yan Song finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip, at this moment, his face was full of happiness.

Yan Shifan on the side heard Yan Song's words, but there was still a lingering look of worry on his face, and he hesitated for a long time before he said slowly.

"Father, now that this Kong Shangxian has been officially abolished by His Majesty, the child is worried about ......"

When Yan Song heard this, he knew that Yan Shifan was worried about his daughter Yan, and after thinking for a while, he immediately spoke.

"Don't worry, I'll let people stare at Kong Shangxian's side, no matter what, she is also my Yan Song's granddaughter, and it's not the turn of others to bully!"

"Yes, Father!"

When Yan Shifan heard this, a grateful look suddenly appeared on his face, and he immediately stood up from the seat, arched his hand, and said respectfully.

After this, I saw Yan Song turn his gaze to Yan Shifan on the side, perhaps to consider him, he thought about it for a long time before he said slowly.

"Yan Shifan, do you know why Your Majesty didn't hesitate at the beginning and agreed to the proposal to change the land and return to the stream?"

"You know, the risk in this is not small, as long as you don't pay attention to it, it will affect the whole body!"

When Yan Shifan heard Yan Song's words, he immediately fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he saw him come back to his senses and say in a deep voice.

"Father...... The father and the child felt that at the beginning the treasury was empty, the southeast coast was flooded with pirates, and there were Tatars in the north. ”

"Not only that, but the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty are also prone to disasters, droughts, floods, floods, and locust plagues in turn, and the imperial court really can't spare its hands to deal with the Tusi problem in the southwest, so we can only turn a blind eye to what they do."

"And right now, the treasury is abundant, not only the Japanese in the southeast coastal area have been wiped out, but even the Tatars in the north have been defeated by my Ming Dynasty, and now most of the external troubles have been removed, Your Majesty also feels that it is time to free up your hands to sweep away these insects!"

After listening to Yan Shifan's analysis, Yan Song nodded and added.

"Well, you have a point, but you don't get to the point."

When Yan Shifan heard Yan Song's words, a little curiosity couldn't help but appear on his face, and he immediately asked.

"Please also ask my father to speak clearly!"

When Yan Song heard this, he nodded imperceptibly, and immediately began to tell his opinion unhurriedly.

"Your Majesty's current time is to increase the imperial court's control over the locality, you might as well think about it, during the Yongle period, why was the imperial court able to implement the policy of changing the land and returning to the river in the southwest?"

"In the final analysis, it is nothing more than that at that time, the imperial court had absolute power and firmly controlled the locality, and the local government did not dare to disobey the orders of the imperial court, but later, with the gradual weakening of the imperial court's control over the locality, it was forced to reinstate the Tusi system."

"And the current situation, as you said before, the treasury is abundant, most of the foreign enemies have been swept away, and Your Majesty can also free up his hands to deal with these evil worms!"

"In my opinion, Your Majesty is clearly taking this opportunity to deter those forces in the local area who are ready to move!"

Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan, who was already deep in thought, not far away, and couldn't help but have a relieved smile on his face.

In fact, there is one more important thing, Yan Song did not tell Yan Shifan, that is the current Your Majesty, a rare emperor with real power in the Ming Dynasty!

Yes, in Yan Song's view, the Ming Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years, and the veritable emperors with real power, except for Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, are the current Majesty.

Not only that, the current Your Majesty also has a large number of capable ministers and cadres to rely on, whether it is Yan Dang or Qingliu, there are people from Your Majesty.

"Hu Zongxian, Tan Lun, Hai Rui, Zhao Zhenji, Hu Zhili, Zhang Juzheng, ......"

One name after another flashed in Yan Song's mind, and when he thought about it carefully, the whole person couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

These people are either feudal officials, or cabinet elders, and even Hai Rui has become the imperial history of the right capital and is in charge of the entire Inspectorate.

You must know that His Majesty has just rebuilt the Divine Machine Battalion not long ago, and the power in his hands has also been greatly enhanced.

Not to mention, there are more than 25,000 soldiers who His Majesty asked Zhang Juzheng to train secretly earlier!

Yan Song has not forgotten that so far, Jiajing has been on the throne for decades, and he has already accumulated great power, not only that, but now His Majesty is very strong, and he has not appeared to be old and faint at all.

His control over this empire is constantly strengthening, and the current Ming Dynasty, under the leadership of Jiajing, has begun to regain its vitality and vitality, and its national strength is steadily improving.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must hold on!"

"I Yan Song can't live without Your Majesty, and Da Ming can't live without Your Majesty!"

I saw Yan Song come back to his senses and muttered to himself silently.

After this, Yan Shifan, who was in deep thought on the side, may have figured out the reason behind this, but he saw an inexplicable look flashing in his eyes, and said quite excitedly.

"Father, the child knows!"

When Yan Song heard this, he just glanced at Yan Shifan, then withdrew his gaze and turned to speak.

"Well, it's good if you can figure it out, after all, it's better to leave those people to us to govern, no matter what, it's better than those toasts!"

After that, I saw Yan Song change his words, turn his gaze to Yan Shifan, and asked.

"By the way, Yan Shifan, do you know that Hai Rui of the Inspectorate was promoted to the Imperial History of the Right Capital?"

"If you go back to your father, the child will know!"

As soon as Yan Song's words fell, Yan Shifan responded without thinking.

"In the future, you have to pay more attention to this Hai Rui, and try not to offend others, understand?"

"Yes, father, the child knows!"

When Yan Shifan heard Yan Song's words, he immediately got up in his seat, lowered his head, and replied in a deep voice.

"Alright, it's not too early, you go back and rest quickly!"

Seeing that everything that should be said had already been said, Yan Song ended the topic in time and ordered instead.

"Yes, father, the child will leave!"

When Yan Shifan heard this, he arched his hand to Yan Song, and immediately turned to leave.
