People are like tigers, horses are like dragons, and on the martial arts field, the soldiers and horses are galloping and dusty.

Such a scene made this weak scholar inexplicably excited.

A quarter of an hour later, the bullseye was filled with arrows, and the horse's shooting came to an end, and the galloping horses slowly stopped, their hooves kicking the ground from time to time, and the horses snorting heavily.

"Next, it's time for the battle formation drill." Li Qing reminded him.

"Hmm." Yu Qian said happily, "My Ming Army is really the army of the king. ”

Li Qing smiled, "Although you are a civilian, since you have joined the military department, you still have to understand the military, so you can play it later, and you will make jokes because you don't know." ”

"Remember." Yu Qian nodded solemnly and looked at the martial arts arena again.

……

Phalanx, Goose Formation, Fish Scale Formation, Glaive Formation, Arrow Formation......

The battle formation is neat, the murderous aura is monstrous, and under the sunlight, the armor flashes with sharp cold light, and the iron-blooded division is amazing.

Yu Qian came into contact with the art of war battle array for the first time, and thought of the scene of the 500,000 army fighting in Mobei, and his heart was agitated.

What would that look like?

An hour later, when the martial arts exercise came to an end, Zhu Zhanji said hello to the generals and drove his horse to the two of them.

Zhu Zhanji turned over and dismounted, and said to Li Qing, "Later, how about we have a fight?" ”

"Nope." Li Qing shook his head and refused, "I'm an old bone, but I can't stand the toss." ”

"It's really boring, I asked you to come for this." Zhu Zhanji was a little disappointed, and then said, "Why don't we try it?" ”

Li Qing is old, he thinks he can do it.

"That's a lot of people." Li Qing said with a smile, "Whoever loses will lose face, so forget it, if you want to learn, go back to my house." ”

"Hmm...... Also become. Zhu Zhanji didn't want to let Li Qing get off the stage in public, so he stretched his limbs and couldn't wait to say, "Then let's go, let's go now." ”

Li Qing hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the sedan chair passed the yamen, Li Qing still had no intention of stopping, and Yu Qian was a little cramped, "Shangshu and the imperial grandson are discussing, so it is inconvenient for the lower officials to participate, right?" ”

"We'll be disbanded soon, let's have a light meal together later!" Li Qing said with a smile, "You have worked hard all afternoon with this official, how can this official not be considerate of his subordinates?" ”

Laborious? Just sit in a sedan chair and see how hard it is to perform martial arts...... Yu Qian was a little confused, "That... Lord Shangshu, Xiaguan ......"

"There is official business." Li Qingdao.

Yu Qian was stunned for a moment and stopped refusing.

…

When he got home, Zhu Zhanji, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately greeted him, and was a little surprised to see Yu Qian also follow.

"I've seen the emperor's grandson." Yu Qian made a gesture.

"No courtesy." Zhu Zhanji smiled, and then, he reached out and took the red tassel gun from the guard's hand, removed the head of the gun and threw it to Li Qing, "Come, let's have a good fight today, don't let me." ”

Li Qing took the long stick, pulled a spear, and motioned for Zhu Zhanji to attack first.

"Then you're welcome." Zhu Zhanji was really unkind, as soon as he jumped closer, he came up and used a deadly rhythm, the sticks waved up layers of afterimages, and the whistling sound of breaking the air was endless.

Zhu Zhanji is the age of the dragon spirit and the tiger, after all these years of tempering, the thirteen guns have reached the realm of perfection, and the long stick is in his hands, as if he is alive.

"Click......"

Li Qing held a stick to block, and the sound of the long sticks colliding was like stir-fried beans.

After half an hour of hard work, the two fought dozens of times, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.

Seeing that he couldn't attack for a long time, Zhu Zhanji snorted lightly, and his moves became more and more fierce, and the storm-like attack poured down, and the end was fierce.

Li Qing was calm and indifferent, his movements were not fast, but he could always defuse the offensive just right, and occasionally draw a backstroke, which could make Zhu Zhanji scramble.

There is no superfluous action, Li Qing's every blow is always so natural and skillful, just like an arranged script, Zhu Zhanji's every attack is within his expectations.

Gradually, Zhu Zhanji also discovered this problem, no matter how he changed his moves, it seemed that he could not escape Li Qing's calculations.

"No more fighting!" Zhu Zhanji took a breath and said with a lack of interest, "I thought you were not my opponent because you were old, but I didn't expect it to be ...... Are you really a sixty-year-old man? ”

"Uh-huh...... Not really. Li Qing chuckled, "In a few years, I won't be your opponent." ”

Zhu Zhanji rolled his eyes and muttered, "You said this a few years ago. ”

After an afternoon of strenuous exercise, Zhu Zhanji was also hungry, and waved his hand at the guards, "I want to have two drinks with Yongqinghou, you go and wait outside." ”

The guard said yes, turned and walked out.

Zhu Zhanji glanced at Yu Qian, Yu Qian bowed his hand and explained: "Taisun, Lord Shangshu said that there is official business. ”

"Got official business?" Zhu Zhanji glanced at Li Qing, "Then you talk, I'll come back another day." ”

"No, let's talk while we eat." Li Qing asked his subordinates to prepare wine and food, and invited the two to the guest hall.

~

"No formality, just sit down!" Zhu Zhanji smiled at Yu Qian, "Are you still used to it in the military department?" ”

Yu Qian sat down and nodded.

A nobleman and a prince, Yu Qian is not good at socializing, and he is uncomfortable in the face of the two, and he just wants to escape quickly.

"Dare to ask Shangshu, what official business do you have to explain to the lower officials?"

Li Qing lifted the teapot and poured two cups of tea, gave Zhu Zhanji one cup, and pushed the other cup to Yu Qian, "The emperor wants to implement a new policy." ”

Yu Qian stretched out his hand and helped the teacup, with a puzzled face, "Xia Guan is just a person who is in the middle of the matter, and he doesn't seem to be qualified to ......."

"Huh?" Li Qing shook his head and smiled, "They are all officials of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor's courtiers, of course they are qualified." ”

"What new policy is Grandpa going to implement?" Zhu Zhanji asked.

"Migration." Li Qingdao, "To be precise, it is to move the population from the south to the north. ”

Yu Qian wanted to hold the teacup for a moment, his brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "The people are definitely unwilling, if the court enforces it, I am afraid that it will arouse public resentment;

It is common to get sick during long journeys and migrations, and if you don't get timely treatment, your life is even in danger. ”

After a pause, Yu Qian said, "Forgive the officials for being rude, now that the Ming Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, it is not appropriate to implement such a policy." ”

Li Qing took a sip of tea and chuckled, "At this time and at that time, now there are new crops in the Ming Dynasty, Yongle beans and Yongle rice have low requirements for cultivated land, and they can be planted with a little reclamation;

There is a vast amount of uncultivated land in the north, and the reason for this is that there are few people in the north, and the reason why there are few people is because the grain production in the north is lower than that in the south;

Nowadays, with the introduction of new crops, the north can also produce a lot of food. Li Qing asked rhetorically, "Is it possible to sit back and watch a large amount of arable land be so barren?" ”

"But ......"

"Nothing." Zhu Zhanji took over the words and said in a deep voice: "The southerners are rich and have a large population, but it is precisely because of the large number of people that the rich gentry are more fearless and harsh to the landless people.

When the population is small, the treatment is naturally higher, and the landlords and rich gentry hold a large amount of land, but they themselves do not farm;

Whether it is renting out the land or hiring long-term workers to help with the planting, the landlord will offer better conditions in order not to let the cultivated land in his hands be wasted. ”

Li Qing nodded, "What the imperial grandson said is extremely true. ”

Then, he said: "The emperor moved the capital to the north, and its purpose is to extend the strategic depth, Yu Qian, you should know about the Hongwu Dynasty's north and south list case, right?" ”

Yu Qian nodded, although he was born in the thirty-first year of Hongwu, he was born as a scholar, so he naturally heard the north and south lists of that year.

Li Qingdao: "That year, the southerners were in the limelight, but no one in the northerners was named, how ironic?

Not to mention the Hongwu Dynasty, take your session as an example, there are more than 150 jinshi, and the south accounts for 12, isn't this enough to explain the problem?

Could it be that I only have half of the world in the south? ”

Yu Qian was speechless.

After a long time, he got up and said, "Yu Qian is taught. ”

"Sit, it doesn't have to be this way." Li Qingwen said with a gentle smile, "You have just entered the official career, and it is an advantage to have compassion for the people, but the emperor has his eyes on the world, and the administration of the court must focus on the overall situation;

Of course, what you said, the imperial court will come up with a solution, the migration itself is for the people, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and the general policy is not wrong. ”

Yu Qian nodded: "Xia Guan understands, but ...... Xia Guan is just a person who gives everything to the matter, and has no right to speak. ”

"No, you have." Li Qing and Zhu Zhanji spoke at the same time.

Li Qing explained, "Although you are only a seven-grade person, you are also a speech official, and if you issue a new policy, the court will definitely pull off;

After the arson case of the three major halls, the current officials of the six departments will not come forward by themselves, and most of them let the officials act as mouthpieces, launch a public opinion offensive, and put pressure on the emperor, and they will neutralize the mud. ”

Yu Qian nodded slowly, his face was solemn, he had already preliminarily discovered the sinister court.
