Chapter 462: Ding You's New Deal

"Bell Bell Bell ......"

"It's out, it's out!"

On the third day of the first month of March, with a burst of hustle and bustle, many students who had been waiting for the results of the palace examination for three days finally saw the process of posting the imperial list.

With the appearance of the line "Yongle Seventeenth Year Ding Youke Hall Test Gold List", everyone held their breath and looked down quietly......

[Luzon Jinshan, Lu Yu, the first first, the first place, the first and the first]

[Fujian Changle, Li Ma, the first and second place, Ci Jinshi and the first]

[Yunnan Longchuan, Jianghuai, the first and third place, Ci Jinshi and the first]

Compared with him, Lu Yu, who grew up in the nursing home since he was a child, is a little worse, and his figure is five feet five (about 176cm).

"Seeing this, Wang Ji led more than a dozen guards to pursue and hit Li Li with a horse pistol."

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu also felt a little headache, maybe even Wang Xuan never thought that Jianghuai would be able to win Tanhua.

"According to the news from the West Factory, Li Li was seriously injured and returned to Changshan, although he did not die in the end, he also fell ill and needed to recuperate for several years."

They each returned to the post house, and then they were called out by the yamen gongs, drums and flutes, and the officials explained to them about entering the palace a few days later, and after asking for a prize, they left one after another.

"Go, go, go." Zhu Di waved his hand, and Zhu Gaoxu also retreated when he saw this.

But the specifics depend on what kind of political achievements they can do in Yunnan before they can make a decision.

Since he was about to ascend the throne at the end of the year, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui did not return to the fiefdom, but rested in Beijing and waited for his accession to the throne before returning to the fiefdom.

How to promote people's livelihood and how to improve people's lives, Lu Yu is to build roads, dams and other measures to benefit the people, as well as to formulate different economic plantings for various prefectures and counties according to local conditions to improve people's income, formulate workers' security policies and laws, and so on......

This figure is naturally tall among the people, but it looks a little ordinary among officials who pay attention to appearance.

For example, although Yunnan is a wild land, there are many Jiangnan literati who have been exiled in the Longchuan area of western Yunnan, and it is not surprising that they can get their hands on it.

"Don't waste the seedlings, I think these seedlings are good, if you are selected as a colt, people may not be happy."

Zhu Gaoxu didn't expect Jiang Huai to enter the top three, you must know that the champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua are all existences in Hanlin, and delegating one of them will inevitably make people feel that the emperor doesn't like this person.

"By the way, does anyone from the left and right political envoys in Yunnan recommend themselves?"

[Bohai Anton, Zhang Bohai, second and first place, born as a Jinshi]

According to the historical situation, Yang Shiqi lived to be eighty years old, and now he is only fifty-one.

Fortunately, although Jianghuai is the son of a serf, his parents were liberated relatively early, and he was not lacking in nutrition since he was a child, so his body can reach five feet six (about 180cm).

"But before that, you should return to the post house for the time being and rest well, and wait for the appointment of the imperial court in early April."

In the first battle of Qinghua, Wang Ji had more military merits than other ministers, although it was not enough to be knighted, but Zhu Gaoxu could always think of a way to make him knighted.

But no matter how the two of them are, compared to Zhu Gaoxu, they all seem "small".

Zhu Gaoxu did not hesitate to give a reward, and he also hurriedly responded when he heard this.

"No, it won't!"

Among them, many people are still trying to convince themselves, for example, although Fujian has been sparsely populated after several migrations, after all, it has been out of the top three for several years, and this year is no exception.

"The slave and maid receive the order...... Wang Yan responded decisively, and at the same time, there were eunuchs on duty outside the palace who came to deliver the message.

However, in the Qing Dynasty, with the emergence of crops such as corn and potatoes, the development of this place by the Han people began to get back on track.

"Your proposals are reasonable, and the imperial court will also give some support."

"Have you found the coal mine in Hami?"

The answer sheet of 2,346 characters is sprinkled with small letters and neat, and there is not a single extra ink spot throughout the text, which makes people look only pleasing to the eye without any discomfort.

Lu Yu grasped these key points before he dared to choose to take up a post in the car.

"Daddy!" Seeing that Zhu Di ignored his love, Zhu Gaoxu persuaded:

"In addition, the vacant political envoy of Sichuan Youbu was transferred to Yang Shiqi to serve as the post."

For this reason, he specially summoned Lu Yu and Jianghuai, but because Li Qi chose Fujian as an official, Zhu Gaoxu did not summon him.

Among them, even Zhu Gaoxu's father Zhu Di is included......

In the final analysis, Cheli was very important for the Ming Dynasty to control the Eight Hundred Dadian and the Lao Xuanwei Division, so the imperial court would definitely invest enough resources to develop the local area.

"Now that you are going to Yunnan, I am afraid that you will need to stay in Kunming or Lin'an Mansion for a year and a half before you can go to work in the car."

The Ming Dynasty has never had such a brave civil servant as Wang Ji, and Zhu Gaoxu is also very happy about this, but at the same time he is also very satisfied with Wang Ji's approach.

"Is there a mistake?"

"This month's and next month's pumping machines will be the first to be sent to Lin Su, but I told him in advance, I want to see the cultivated land in Hetao improved, otherwise he won't want next year's pumping machine."

"There is Longchuan Bo in western Yunnan, so the minister wants to go to the car."

As the champion, Lu Yu was naturally the first to speak.

Standing in front of him, Rao is the most courageous Ping'an, Qu Neng and others in the Ming Dynasty at the moment, and they can't help but seem a little weak, not to mention literati like Jiang Huai and Lu Yu.

I have to say that this is a good way, so Zhu Gaoxu also decided to support the Hetao area after a short period of thought.

In Zhu Gaoxu's plan, the forty-year-old Sun Cheng is one, and the thirty-nine-year-old Wang Ji is one, and now he is ......

Although the imperial court already has "anti-malarial powder", a place lacking Han people is destined to be difficult to develop, not to mention that the Cheli Dai people in this era are not easy to get along with, and there are often wars.

During this period, the Hetao was still dominated by the desert and Gobi grasslands with sparse vegetation, a small number of arable areas and their dependence on water conservancy facilities, and more places relied on machine wells to draw groundwater, and the salinity of arable land was extremely high, and the land was very barren.

Zhu Gaoxu's voice fell, and when he even picked up the teacup, the two of them knew that this was an eviction, so they got up one after another and said: "The minister is ...... to retire."

The iron ore reserves in the car are very high, whether it is exported to Laos, Siam, Gan Xiaozhi and other countries, or used for railway construction in Yunnan, it can drive the economy of the car in disguise.

"This is ......" Zhu Di was suddenly awakened, and then remembered that he had no sister and daughter to spare.

"You can handle this matter yourself, I still think that he should be allowed to enter Hanlin first, and then decentralized."

Therefore, the people who can deal with Yang Shiqi will naturally live longer than him, so as to ensure that Jiangxi will not raise its head again.

Jiang Huai's ambition is greater than Lu Yue, or Jiang Huai is not good at hiding, for his own ideas, he completely trusts Zhu Gaoxu and takes all his ideas out.

"Your Highness, the minister thinks that the imperial court needs to manage Zhongnan well, and the management of Zhongnan is mainly based on western Yunnan and southern Yunnan."

In some arable areas with low precipitation and high evaporation, the Yellow River is flooded with water, and the land is easily salinized, so it is difficult to develop.

"In that case, the minister will go to the Chunhe Hall to operate first, and father, you can summon the eldest brother and the third brother to come and catch up with the old days."

Lu Yu finished his thoughts in a few words, but this was not all he really wanted to say.

"The minister thinks that governing Longchuan is similar to Lu Zhuangyuan's thoughts, and Longchuan is the place where the minister was born, and the local area can grow mulberry trees and sugar cane to develop textiles, sugar and wine commodities."

In order to develop Cheli, the migration population is certain, and the current situation of fewer Han people and more people will also be changed.

"I remember him, transfer him to Yunnan, and it's time for Sichuan's Jianyi to be promoted." Zhu Gaoxu responded:

"Nanjing needs a left-behind Shangshu, and he will be promoted to the secretary of the household department in Nanjing, and the secretary of the Ministry of Nanjing in Nanjing, who is responsible for the merit examination and taxation in Jiangnan."

"Give a decree to reward a copper mountain in Sumatra for Ren Li and Wang Ji."

This kind of situation is exactly what Zhu Gaoxu wants to see.

After they left, Yishaha, who was beside him, spoke:

"Tanhua is the magistrate of the county, and he can figure it out."

However, for the local area, the swampy, wet and bitter cold area is still uncultivable.

It seems that he had long expected the actions of the candidates, and Zhu Gaoxu deliberately asked people to post the original paper of Lu Yu's palace exam and posted it on the side.

When the gold list was posted, the onlookers suddenly exploded, and people couldn't believe that the champion, the list, and the tanhua were picked up by the sparsely populated Luzon, Fujian, and Yunnan respectively.

Of course, in order to show that the imperial court did not look down on them, Zhu Gaoxu also gave them the right to choose.

Zhu Gaoxu mentioned Yang Shiqi, a Jiangxi official he deliberately let go, but he had a handle in his hands.

"Bring it!" Hearing Wang Xuan's urgent report, Zhu Di thought that there was a change in Luchuan.

"But if you build a post road that leads directly to Manmo, the distance between the two can be reduced to less than a hundred miles."

"The amount of arable land in Hami has not increased tenfold, but it is not a problem to increase several times."

"Your Majesty, Longchuan Bo Wang Xuan has an urgent report."

Since Xie Jin was killed, Hu Guang and others were suppressed, Yang Shiqi undoubtedly became the largest official in Jiangxi and was promoted.

Zhu Gaoxu asked about the key points, and Yisha nodded: "Ping An sent a sentry to search, and sure enough, I found a coal mine in the place you marked with Your Highness, and it is not too difficult to mine." ”

"Hmm." Zhu Gaoxu responded: "These two are talented people, as long as they are well controlled, it will still be beneficial to the imperial court." ”

The champion Lu Yu is twenty-three years old, and Tanhua Jianghuai is twenty-one years old, even in this era, the age of the two is definitely not mature, so in the face of the two, Zhu Gaoxu took the initiative to speak:

Leaving like him, there is also Jianghuai who won Tanhua.

In the face of Lu Yu's exquisite original paper, many candidates who were still clamoring before shut up, and Lu Yu, who was standing in the crowd, also glanced left and right, and then left in a hurry with his head down.

"This guy thinks that the pump is very good for production, but he really dares to speak."

"The land of western Yunnan is very important, when I read Jianghuai's answer sheet before, I felt that he was talented, and I wanted to list him as the second class, but there is really no one in the second class who is more novel than him, so he can only be listed as a tanhua."

However, for his words, Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said: "Although Cheli is a very important strategic and economic place for the imperial court, the local Han people have a shallow foundation, and the war has not yet been settled. ”

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the direction where Lu Yu and Jiang Huai disappeared, obviously these two people also have certain talents and can also be relied on.

"Has there been a lift in Luzon this year?"

"Just like the answer sheet, we will have all the fields in the car, plant crops suitable for the local area, develop local handicraft workshops, and appease immigrants."

Zhu Di was a little angry, but Zhu Gaoxu said when he heard this:

As a result, crops cannot be grown at all, except for a few areas with rivers that can be cultivated in small quantities.

However, in this era, the biggest highlight of Lu Yu's article is the hope to formulate a protection policy for workers, and before him, although all dynasties also paid attention to the rights and interests of workers, there was never a special means to formulate a set of protection policies and laws.

Its font looks regular, but in fact it hides a sharp edge, not mentioning the content of the answer sheet, just saying that this writing can squeeze into the second grade, let alone the content.

"Give me a seat, tell me why you want to go to Longchuan and the car."

Among them, what surprised Zhu Gaoxu was that the champion Lu Yu also chose Yunnan and chose Cheli Mansion, which has a harsh environment.

In the minds of Jiang Huai and Lu Yu, although Zhu Gaoxu created a record of going south to capture dragons, the world thought that he looked like a Confucian general.

Zhu Gaoxu raised the question, knowing that the jurisdiction area of Cheli Province was twice as large as that of Xishuangbanna in later generations.

[Ministers to His Majesty the Emperor: The ministers heard that the sage ruled the world, and did not take the ancient as the way, but today there are changes, and the ancient should not be the way, and the new way should be done, not the ......]

"In addition, the minister heard about the railway, if the imperial court can support Longchuan to build a direct railway to Manmo, then Longchuan will also become a large tax-paying county in Yunnan, which will be of great help to the imperial court to control the three Xuan and six comforts."

"Besides, several younger sisters have already married, even if you want to marry now, there is no choice!"

The basis on which a large country is distinguished from a small country is ultimate national egoism, not romanticism.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu asked, "How is Wang Ji doing in Jiaozhi?" ”

Civilian officials are not allowed to lead troops, this is a rule set early, and although Wang Ji dispatched troops and horses, this was an arrangement made after consultation with Ren Li, and it was not considered a violation of the rules.

"I'm afraid you, Uncle Longchuan, have been waiting for a long time, the gold list has just been posted, and he can't wait to ask for someone."

After doing all this, Zhu Gaoxu set his sights on the northwest and overseas.

Lin Su wanted a water pump, probably to build a canal, dig a well, and then use the pump to pump groundwater, through irrigation and washing, flood diversion and siltation to leach and remove salt from the soil, so as to improve the land.

"As my father said, Tanhua is really a bit condescending to be the prefect of the county, so the son wants to merge Ganya, Longchuan, and Nandian into Longchuan Mansion and let him be the prefect of Longchuan."

Lu Yu's content is mainly explained from many aspects: military, economy, people's livelihood, the relationship between monarchs and ministers, and the relationship between monarchs and people.

But before that, he still needs to support a few people who can deal with Yang Shiqi.

Feeling the gaze, JAC also explained what he was going to do.

From the moment they entered the palace just now, they had vaguely observed this person under the East Palace, and to be honest, he was very different from the one they remembered.

Economically, he encouraged the imperial court to use overseas gold and silver to the people, and in order to prevent the rich and powerful and officials from getting in the way, it is best to send officials to monitor the whereabouts of the money and grain and whether it is in the hands of the people.

Even after Tumut settled in the Hetao and built the city of Bansheng, the Mongols still lived a half-farming and half-pastoral lifestyle in the Hetao, and mainly based on grazing.

His mind was clearly seen by Zhu Gaoxu.

"In this way, Longchuan can rely on the Dajinsha River to enter the small Western Ocean, and then sell goods to Tianzhu, Hezhong, Timur and Kunlun Zhou."

"That's right, how can the champion and Tanhua be candidates from Luzon and Yunnan?"

In the face of Zhu Gaoxu's persuasion, Zhu Di muttered to himself: "This Li Ma is not very good, how can he be named after a livestock and renamed him Li Qi." ”

Obviously, Lu Yu has seen the growth of the Ming workers' group, and this is the main reason why he was elected champion.

"This rammed ......"

Based on his past experience, Zhu Gaoxu did not believe that Jianghuai was not good at hiding, nor did he think that he was very ambitious.

【Zhili Suzhou ......】

A few days later, Zhu Gaoxu summoned Lu Yu and others to Hanlin, and then sent more than 300 Jinshi to the local authorities on the grounds that the new policies in Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Huguang, Fujian and other places were unstable.

"The climate is dry, and it's extremely easy to store grain, and it's a good thing that unprocessed grain can be stored for up to five years, according to the Ping An Protocol."

Among the two options of staying in Beijing as an official and choosing a place to become an official, most of the Jinshi chose to stay in Beijing as an official, and only 76 Jinshi chose to choose a place to become an official.

Speaking of Lin Su, Yishuha couldn't help laughing, and Zhu Gaoxu also laughed after hearing it:

"Where have the fifty pumps arrived now?" Zhu Gaoxu asked about the transportation of the pumping machine, and he replied:

"Fifty pumping machines set off after the Lantern Festival, and now they have arrived in Lanzhou, and they can arrive in Hami in July at most."

By mid-March, the weather was getting warmer.

Facing Lu Yu and Jiang Huai, Zhu Gaoxu in the Chunhe Hall sat on his seat, carefully looking at the two nervous young men.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Royal Highness, it is estimated that there is Wang Xuan's shadow behind this Jianghuai, but Lu Yue is thoughtful, and the slave maid is a little unable to see clearly."

Judging from future generations, Lu Yu's article looks decent.

At the same time, some of the officials and gentry who paid attention to them also threw olive branches to them.

In the Wuying Palace, Zhu Gaoxu persuaded Zhu Di, who was sitting in the position, just because Zhu Di wanted to find someone from them to be a colt, and he set his sights on the champion Lu Yu and Bangyan Li Ma.

Corn and potatoes have been brought back by Zheng He and Chen Xuan, so Lin Su planted potatoes and corn in Wuyuan and Jiuyuan under the instruction of Zhu Gaoxu as early as possible.

Under Zhu Gaoxu's vague gaze, the two slowly withdrew from the Spring and Peace Palace.

"Back to Your Highness......" Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's inquiry, he also reported good news:

"After Fu Rang led his troops into Yunnan to reform the land of Lin'an Mansion and Guangnan Mansion and Cheli, Li Li in the Changshan Mountains gathered tens of thousands of Changshan barbarians to attack Thanh Hoa."

Thinking of Wang Xuan's honest and simple face, maybe only Zhu Gaoxu and Yang Zhan knew how dark this guy was.

For example, militarily it is necessary to expand the territory, but it is necessary to open up effective territory, not ineffective territory, and the use of national strength should be prudent, and the strong strength possessed by the state should be combined with a flexible balance of power policy to better realize national goals and interests.

"Longchuan, Yunnan, maybe it was the group of people who were exiled at the beginning......"

The reason why he dared to propose the construction of the railway was that he was afraid that there was Wang Xuan's figure behind him.

The two respectfully returned the salute, and then sat down carefully after the eunuch in the hall brought a chair.

Fighting for a cause that is not in one's own interests is disproportionate to a large country, and it will also bring unbearable suffering to its own people, making the country isolated by vassals.

At present, Cheli Mansion has not yet been pacified, and there is even a lack of Han people, Rao is Zhu Gaoxu is puzzled.

It's just that when I saw it today, the appearance of being more than six feet tall really showed the appearance of this highness.

In the face of his careful thinking, Zhu Gaoxu did not expose it, but just set his eyes on Jianghuai.

"But in the case of the loop, if there is a pump to cooperate, it does solve many problems."

Speaking of Wang Ji's bravery, he couldn't help but admire the existence of Yizha who followed Zhu Gaoxu in the southern and northern wars.

After a few sighs, Zhu Di spoke: "Then forget it." ”

If the answer sheet of more than 2,300 words is translated into vernacular, it is enough to translate tens of thousands of words.

"Longchuan does not have a post road directly to Manmo, so it can only detour through Nandian and Ganya, and rely on Xijiang Town to enter Manmo, so that the distance is more than 400 miles."

"It's just that Hami is short of manpower, so I'm afraid I can't afford to mine coal."

Zhu Di said this, Zhu Gaoxu also nodded in approval, and then said:

It's just that the eunuch on duty hurriedly brought the urgent report, and after Zhu Di opened it, he looked at Zhu Gaoxu strangely.

Zhu Gaoxu asked and lost Ha, and Yizha nodded when he heard the words; "Guangxi Senator Xu Shuomao recommended himself as the political envoy to the left, but no one recommended the political envoy to the right."

Yizha expressed his worries, but Zhu Gaoxu didn't care and said: "When the pumping machine arrives, Ping'an can use the qanats and pumping machines to irrigate the Hami fields." ”

"When Wang Ji learned the news, he immediately led 500 cavalry galloped south of the mountain with Ren Li, the commander of Jiaozhi City, dispatched the generals of the Soldiers and Horses Conference, and gathered 5,000 soldiers to hand over to Ren Li, Ren Li lived up to expectations, led 5,000 soldiers to defeat Li Li's department, killed tens of thousands, beheaded more than 16,000 levels, and Li Li fled in a hurry."

But the problem is that Luzon, which has a population of only more than 200,000 and can't even lift people all year round, can get the first place as the champion!

For a while, everyone was unconvinced.

"In addition, the matter of the pumping machine also spread to Jiuyuan, and Lin Su knew about the pumping machine, and also clamored for the imperial court to give him the pumping machine, and if he wanted it, it would be a hundred."

"Even if you hold office, judging from the news of the imperial court, there are only about 100 Han people in Cheli, compared to the Han people, the local people have a population of tens of millions or nearly a million, how do you think it should be governed?"

The local area is basically a tropical rainforest climate, and the terrain is very complex, and it really takes a lot of money and effort to manage this kind of place.

"Slave Maid Leads ......"

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu say this, he also smiled and responded, and then arranged for someone to prepare a pumping machine for Lin Su......
