Chapter 82 Liu Jin's political strategy
After discussing a series of personnel scheduling, Jiao Fang lowered his hands and said respectfully:
"The lower officials privately think that the adults should take the officials in their hands as soon as possible, so that they can completely control the promotion and dispatch of civil and military officials.
Otherwise, it is only a left servant under the official, and there is Shangshu Ma Wensheng above, and it is difficult to act cheaply sometimes. ”
Jiang Ning glanced at him.
Of course, he knew what this old man meant, it was nothing more than that he wanted to replace Marven and be promoted to the rank of Heavenly Official.
But that's okay, only if the officials are in their own hands, then they can feel at ease.
"Well, Master Jiao has a point."
Jiao Fangdeng, who received Jiang Ning's hint, was overjoyed, and hurriedly continued:
"In addition, there is also the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, not to mention that they are in control, but they must listen to the words of adults. In this way, the ambitions of adults can be realized. ”
Jiang Ning smiled slightly: "What's the hurry, just do it steadily." ”
As he spoke, he stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go into the palace together, and I will meet Your Majesty." ”
The two of them went out of Wu'anbo Mansion together and entered the city in a sedan chair.
After entering the palace, Jiao Fang said goodbye to Jiang Ning and went to the duty office.
Jiang Ning came all the way to Nuan Pavilion.
saw that Zhu Houzhao was not here, and only two small yellow doors were left.
At this time, a treacherous voice came: "Hey, how did Master Jiang have to enter the palace today?" ”
Jiang Ning turned around and saw that it was Liu Jin who walked in with a few little eunuchs.
"Gonggong Liu, where is Your Majesty?"
Liu Jin replied:
"Your Majesty is rare today, and I went to the harem to invite the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and several mothers, as well as the princesses, saying that I want to sing to them."
Jiang Ning twitched the corners of his mouth.
It's really something that the Lord can do.
What is fun to do, I never care about the eyes of others.
"Your Majesty is afraid that you won't be able to come back for a while, why don't you go with me to sit in the celebrant and sit?"
"That's exactly what I mean."
Jiang Ning smiled and nodded.
He wanted to find Zhu Houzhao to talk about what he wanted today, and Liu Jin really had to agree.
The two of them entered the room of the celebrant and sat down.
Liu Jin personally poured Jiang Ning a cup of tea and said:
"Thanks to the idea of the adults before, our family found two down-and-out showmen to plan together.
Hey, it really works, it saves our family a lot of trouble. ”
"It's good if I can help my father-in-law."
Jiang Ning was polite on his face, but he was secretly wary in his heart.
Since Liu Jin took charge of the celebrant eunuch, he began to promote his own people, and it was inevitable that his ambition would grow.
For example, Wei Mingli, the political envoy of Shaanxi, was personally promoted by him.
This person was originally just a right attendant of the Criminal Department, and his career has probably come to an end in this life.
But now that he has become a feudal official, do you dare to be grateful to Liu Jin?
However, what Jiang Ning is going to say to Liu Jin today has something to do with it.
Just as he was about to bring it up, Liu Jin spoke first.
"My lord entered the palace today, but I entered it by coincidence, and our family has an important matter that needs to be discussed with my lord."
"Oh? Father-in-law, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”
Jiang Ning was silent, and put his thoughts down first.
"When I was drinking in the adult's house a few days ago, the adult said that the words really made our family suddenly open.
Let's not mention the matter of opening the sea, after our family comes back, we will ponder, as the master of ceremonies and the palm seal, we can also put forward some good government and national policies to make some contributions to the people of the world.
In this way, can it also be famous in history, right? ”
Seeing Liu Jin's serious appearance, Jiang Ning smiled dumbly, and said after a while:
"That father-in-law, have you already figured it out?"
"Yes, it's not feasible to ask an adult to see it."
As he spoke, Liu Jin suddenly got up and took down a bunch of music from the bookshelf next to him.
Jiang Ning looked at the thick stack, and couldn't laugh or cry.
But when he opened it, he found that there were many recommended policies inside, which were really good.
And it involves all aspects, except for the Ministry of Rites, he occupies all of the six departments.
For example, officials are not allowed to serve in the province of household registration, so as not to develop nepotism, and this is included in the evaluation of officials.
In addition, we have cracked down on illegal businessmen who smuggle and changed the phenomenon of civilian administration of the army making the army's combat effectiveness low.
In addition to these, there are many, many more, and they are generally good policies that benefit the country and the people.
It can be seen that Liu Jin has indeed put in a lot of effort.
It's a pity that the theory is quite good, but it is very difficult to implement.
Without him, the reform is too radical.
If this is known to the princes in the court, it will definitely be strongly criticized.
"What does Master Jiang think?"
Liu Jin looked at Jiang Ningdao with a look of hope.
"Ahem, my father-in-law's suggestions to eliminate maladministration are really amazing and admired by this official."
Hearing Jiang Ning's words, Liu Jin's old face suddenly turned into a chrysanthemum.
His eyes narrowed into a slit.
In his opinion, Jiang Ning is a person with the best ability.
He said okay, then it must be good.
However, Jiang Ning said: "It's just that there are still some small flaws in it, which will be pointed out by my father-in-law." ”
"Your Excellency, please speak."
Liu Jin hurriedly sat upright, looking like he was listening carefully.
Jiang Ning was not polite, and said directly: "Here, the father-in-law suggested that the household department raid the money and grain of the local government treasury every year to prevent corruption and exploitation, which is an excellent intention.
But ten times a year is a bit more, on average once a month.
If this is the case, isn't it true that the officials of the household department are on the road all year round, and the functions and government affairs of the household department headquarters are not delayed? ”
"Yes, yes, it's our family's negligence!"
Liu Jin slapped his thigh and thought so.
Next, Jiang Ning pointed out some mistakes and omissions.
Liu Jin listened carefully one by one, and the resolution was revised again.
"Oh, fortunately, I found an adult to discuss today, otherwise it would be presented to Your Majesty, and those hundred officials are afraid that they will make trouble again.
I can't say that I want to impeach our family for indiscriminately interfering in political affairs. ”
Jiang Ning echoed and smiled, but did not speak.
Even if you hand it in after changing it, it will definitely be backlashed.
After Liu Jin carefully put the song away, Jiang Ning said:
"I don't hide it from my father-in-law, but this official also has something I want to discuss with my father-in-law today."
"Oh, sir, but it doesn't hurt to speak."
"The father-in-law knew that the officials wanted to promote the new crops, but the yield was uncertain, and the officials were unanimously opposed.
It is because the official wants to find a provincial place to try planting, and when there are results, if it is really high-yielding, it will naturally be promoted.
There is no need to worry about the food problem, and our opening of the sea can be put on the agenda. ”
When Liu Jin heard that it was closely related to Kaihai, he immediately said, "Where do you want to choose?" ”
"It is Shaanxi Province.
Shaanxi is no longer comparable to the Han and Tang dynasties, and now the fields are barren and the fertility has declined seriously, making it difficult to grow wheat and other grains.
However, the sweet potatoes that the official wants to promote are very drought-tolerant, which is just right for those relatively barren lands.
Therefore, in addition to the fertile paddy fields, the sweet potato is planted on the slopes of mountains and wasteland.
When the mu is produced, the people of Shaanxi will no longer be hungry.
What does my father-in-law think? ”
Liu Jin's eyes lit up suddenly.
He is a native of Shaanxi, and the local plot is very serious, so he naturally wants to benefit the people in his hometown.
Xiang Jiangning repeatedly confirmed that it must be a high yield, and in addition to ensuring the harvest in drought and flood, he finally gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Don't worry, my lord, our family will inform Wei Mingli and let him start preparing immediately."
"That's the best."
While the two were talking and laughing, a figure suddenly burst in.
Liu Jin looked at it, but saw that it seemed to be a palace maid, and was about to scold, but suddenly his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly greeted him:
"Old slave, see Your Majesty!"
Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, and after seeing that it was really Zhu Houzhao, he also saluted.
It's just that the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was obviously holding back a smile.
Because at this time, Zhu Houzhao was greased and powdered, wearing a skirt and a daughter's dress, it was really difficult to distinguish between male and female.
"Jiang Shiyu is also there? The best is the best.
I kindly invited the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to watch my play, but they said that I was so impolite, so they almost scolded me. ”
When Zhu Houzhao muttered unhappily on his face, another figure rushed in.
"Brother Huang, you change your clothes."
I saw Princess Yun'an trotting over, her skirt fluttering, revealing a small bow shoe wrapped in jade feet.
The last time Jiang Ning saw her was half a year ago.
I haven't seen him for so long, and Yun'an has visibly changed a lot with the naked eye.
The temperament is more gentle and graceful, and she has the appearance of a royal princess.
The face and body have also matured a lot, and they have faded a little.
"Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess."
"Ah, Lord Jiang is also there?"
Yun An saw Jiang Ning, who had not been seen for several months, and was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses, and turned his head hurriedly, with a little starlight in his eyes.
"Brother Huang, quickly take off your clothes, you are an emperor dressed like this and running around in the palace, don't blame the queen mother and grandmother for being unhappy."
Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips, his face full of disapproval, but he still took off his skirt with the help of Yun An.
And Jiang Ning saw that there was still a thick fat powder on his face, so he took out a handkerchief and prepared to wipe him.
But suddenly realized that this handkerchief seemed to be Yun'an's, and hurriedly put it away again.
It's just that Yun An's eyes are sharp, and he still notices the veil.
She immediately recognized that it was her own, and her heart trembled.
It's no wonder that a man carries a girl's close-fitting brocade with him, which is really misleading.
