Jiajing reviewed a few more recitals, his brows furrowed tightly, and his face became solemn again.

Seeing Xu Jie come in, he passed the military intelligence chapter that was placed on the table to Xu Jie, and asked directly: "Elder Xu Ge, you tell me honestly, why did my army rot so much?" Why did Juyong Pass break so easily? ”

If he was facing Yan Song, he wouldn't ask like this. But in the face of Xu Jie, coupled with being angry, he also wanted to see the truth of this, and wanted to hear what Xu Jie would say.

"Deducting military spending and greedy for ink are the two major stubborn diseases of the moment!" Xu Jie, faced with a rare opportunity to perform, immediately surrendered.

Jiajing selectively forgot about the former, because a lot of military expenses were used by him to repair the altar, but he asked directly: "How to solve the greed for ink?" ”

"At present, I'm afraid it can't be solved for the time being!" Xu Jie shook his head lightly and replied helplessly.

Jiajing's brows furrowed, and he asked puzzledly, "Why is this?" ”

"This is true of the southeast and the seven sides! If they don't be greedy for ink, the situation will definitely be worse, and the current Tiedongnan is a good example, if you have money to feed them, you will fight with your heart! Xu Jie replied earnestly and gave a vivid example.

These words undoubtedly pointed the finger at Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, accusing him of being an official who was greedy for ink.

Not long ago, Luo and Pang Shangpeng, the officials of Kedaoyan, impeached Hu Zongxian for "deducting border salaries as a regular practice, with the name of 'Governor Yinshan', and embezzling 33,000 taels of state funds." It was only Yan Song who covered for Hu Zongxian, so that the imperial court did not rectify the matter, and the matter was over.

At the moment, Xu Jie's listing of this example is undoubtedly an eye medicine for Jiajing, regardless of whether Hu Zongxian is greedy for 33,000 taels of ink, this will give Jiajing the impression that Hu Zongxian is really greedy for ink.

Jiajing's eyes flickered, thinking in the direction listed by Xu Jie, and finally sighed: "Maggots should be killed!" ”

Xu Jie bowed his head and saluted, but his eyes flashed with a flash of successful excitement, and he faintly saw the dawn of bringing down Hu Zongxian.

Among the current members of the Yan Party, Hu Zongxian is like a needle that sets the sea, firmly helping the Yan Party to control the situation in the southeast.

At present, the troubles in the southeast have gradually subsided, the turmoil in Jiangxi has been eliminated, and it is difficult to stop the sharp spirit of Fujian and Guangdong.

Once Hu Zongxian quells these turmoil, I am afraid that no one in the entire Ming military and political government can match him, and the position of the secretary of the military department belongs to him.

If at that time, even if Yan Song returns to his hometown, the Yan Party can still continue to stand in the court with Hu Zongxian and other senior members as the core, and even continue to oppose him.

It is precisely in this way that while overthrowing Yan Song, he also began to get rid of the backbone of the Yan Party and uproot the entire Yan Party.

Jiajing didn't see through Xu Jie's secret ghostly fetus, as if he was deceived by Xu Jie's kind appearance, but he asked: "How do you think we should deal with the flood in the seven southeastern provinces?" ”

Xu Jie had a bit of righteousness, and immediately proposed: "Agriculture is the foundation, and Suzhou and other prefectures have always been big tax paying houses, so the imperial court should exempt them from paying taxes on autumn grain and carry out disaster relief to show their wisdom." ”

Huang Jin, who was standing next to him, glanced at Xu Jie, but shook his head slightly.

If Yan Song would not have said it so bluntly, but pointed out the various difficulties of the victims, he would have been reluctant to say anything about tax exemption, and finally Jiajing would have personally decided on matters such as disaster relief tax exemption.

"You're from Matsue Mansion, right?" Jiajing's face was flat, and he asked playfully when he opened a note.

Xu Jie was born in Songjiang Mansion, and Songjiang Mansion was among the affected by the disaster, so it was inevitable that there would be a suspicion of fake public and private affairs.

"The minister is the Ming Dynasty, and he is His Majesty's courtier!" Xu Jiejie replied solemnly, indicating that he was loyal.

Jiajing naturally didn't really suspect Xu Jie, he just wanted to tease him and beat him appropriately. Suddenly, there was a "huh", Jiajing's brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes were fixed on the music that had just been opened in his hand.

Huang Jin felt something different, but he couldn't see the content of the song from the position he was standing, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Jiajing held the song in his hand, but suddenly said a sentence: "If the imperial court does not transfer grain from Nanjing, but changes to Guangdong to adjust grain to stabilize prices, is this policy appropriate?" ”

"Your Majesty, Guangdong is not a major grain-producing province, I'm afraid there is no grain to adjust!" Xu Jie's brows frowned slightly, pointing out the difficult points.

Jiajing's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he said flatly: "Two years ago, there was also a flood in Guangdong, and the local rice price rose nearly tenfold. At that time, Lin Haoran was transferred from Siam to Siam to stabilize the price of Guangdong rice, and if Guangdong rice was transferred to Hangzhou to stabilize the price of rice, it was essentially adjusting Siamese rice! ”

"It's still not appropriate!" Xu Jie's heart froze, and he immediately spoke out against it.

Hey?

Huang Jin looked at Xu Jie suspiciously, and found that his behavior was somewhat abnormal.

"Why not!" Jiajing looked up at him and asked calmly.

Xu Jie pondered for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and said: "At present, the plague in Zhejiang and Fujian has not been eradicated, and these rice are going north by sea, once they fall into the hands of the Japanese invaders, it will definitely increase his arrogance, and please think twice!" ”

When Jiajing heard this, his brows furrowed deeply, this is indeed a big issue that needs to be seriously weighed.

Once this trouble, which has been finally quelled, regenerates its branches, I am afraid that the military spending in the southeast will be a bottomless pit, and I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses at that time. And going all the way north from Guangdong is undoubtedly full of risks.

Huang Jin watched Jiajing make trouble, but stepped forward and whispered: "Master, the Xuanhuang root porridge has been boiled!" ”

"Well, let's serve a bowl to Xu Ge Laoye!" Jiajing nodded lightly, and said with the usual trick of clear rewards and punishments.

Xu Jie was overjoyed, and immediately made a big salute and said: "Weichen thank Your Majesty Longen!" ”

Porridge itself doesn't mean anything, but this is already close to Yan Song's treatment.

The night was peaceful, but it soon caused a stir.

In response to the floods in Hangzhou's seven prefectures, Lin Haoran, deputy envoy of Guangdong Patrol Channel, and other officials wrote a letter, requesting that Guangdong rice go north along the coast and go to Hangzhou and other prefectures to stabilize the price of rice.

As soon as this news came out, a dispute broke out in the imperial court, and many officials handed over the folds.

But there are those who are in favor and those who are against, and those who oppose them cite examples from the past.

Speaking of the catastrophe in Liaoning and other places, the imperial court transported grain from Shandong to Liaoning for disaster relief, but those restless businessmen took advantage of the loopholes. Using this grain transportation line, commodities were smuggled on a large scale, making the maritime ban policy useless.

Once Guangdong and Hangzhou establish a grain transportation line, not only businessmen will definitely take advantage of this loophole, which is equivalent to opening a route from Guangdong to Hangzhou.

It's just that there are many people who agree with it, thinking that this is a good policy and the court should implement it.

However, in this noisy and noisy voice, some officials pointed the finger at Lin Haoran and impeached him for forming a party in Guangdong.
