It is easy to reward meritorious soldiers, but Lin Haoran's reward is undoubtedly a thorny problem.

If he is an ordinary meritorious man, he will naturally be promoted to make a fortune and be transferred to a more important position. However, Lin Haoran is already the youngest official of the fourth grade in the Ming Dynasty, and he is in an important position in the local area, so he is not suitable for further promotion.

After hearing the Shengshang's question, the three ministers immediately became embarrassed, and none of them dared to say that they would transfer Lin Haoran back to Beijing to serve or be promoted to a third-rank official.

Xu Jie hesitated for a moment, stood up and arched his hand: "Qi Qi Sheng, other meritorious soldiers can be rewarded according to the highest level of military merits, but Lin Haoran is only nineteen years old, and he is already the prefect of Guangzhou and the director of Guangdong City, so it is not suitable for promotion!" ”

"How should I be rewarded?" Jiajing's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked rhetorically with some unhappiness.

Jiajing's way of being a gentleman is to reward and punish clearly, like Wang Bai helped him purchase ambergris, and promoted Wang Bai to the high position of the Guangdong Political Division, from the fourth grade directly to the second grade; Like the three people who helped him write green words with their hearts, it was the three of them who formed the entire cabinet.

This stubble is orderly one by one, so that these people have been doing their best to do errands, and the green words they write are becoming more and more standard. But when he came to Lin Haoran, Xu Jie told him that he couldn't be promoted, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Of course, he didn't mean to blame Xu Jie, after all, there was some truth in what he said, but what he needed was a solution.

Yan Songchu pondered for a moment, and then came up with an idea: "Saint, Lin Haoran is indeed not suitable for promotion, he should be pressed for a few years to sharpen, this is the greatest care for him." After a pause, he glanced at Jiajing's attitude, and then proposed: "It's just that Lin Haoran has made such a great achievement, if he doesn't reward it, it will inevitably make the meritorious ministers feel cold, why don't you give Lin Haoran a favor?" ”

Hey?

Hearing the suggestion of giving clothes, Xu Jie and Lu Ben both looked at Jiajing in unison.

It's not that the two of them can't think of this reward, but they don't dare to make this suggestion, for fear of angering the saint. After all, the saint has had an unpleasant time because of the granting of service, and this dynasty rarely gives it.

Even so, they did not dare to come up with such a solution lightly.

"Well, then give me a bullfighting suit!" Jiajing looked at the report in front of the case and nodded slightly.

Xu Jie and Lu Ben were slightly surprised, but after thinking about it, maybe they were too cautious, or it was Yan Song who made this suggestion, so the saint didn't get angry.

But I have to admit that although the three of them are all ministers, there is still a big gap between the two of them and Yan Song.

When the two of them were stunned, Yan Song had already solemnly saluted: "The old minister obeys the order!" ”

Although there is no substantial promotion of official power, the service obviously carries the flavor of imperial power, so that the status of the person wearing the service is also quietly improved. At the same time, this is equivalent to giving Lin Haoran an indelible glory, which will always remind people of this feat, so that it may be fulfilled one day in the future.

"This reward is still a bit light, so give it to his sister too!" Jiajing's brows frowned slightly, and he commanded again.

Yan Song and the others glanced at each other, and then arched their hands again: "(Micro) The old minister obeys the order!" ”

Sometimes, that's how things are. Some people work hard to get a little benefit, while some people can always get a bullfighting suit for nothing.

The plan for dealing with the matter was finalized, which required the cabinet to draft a vote, and then Jiajing would approve the red from the royal pen, and then the reward would be officially conveyed to Guangdong.

Xu Jie and Lu Ben retreated, leaving only Yan Song still here.

Jiajing asked Huang Jin to move a big pillow, leaned comfortably and said to Yan Song: "Weizhong, what's going on with Qian Yin?" ”

Now the biggest problem of the Ming Dynasty is not the Mongols in the north and the Japanese in the southeast, but the silver taels of the imperial court are already stretched, and there is no money to continue to support Jiajing for repair.

In the same way, in recent years, the household department has been frequently replaced. In just two years, he has experienced Fang Yu, Jia Yingchun, Ma Kun and the newly appointed Jiangdong four Hubu Shangshu.

Compared with the Ministry of Rites that has remained unchanged for more than three years, the Household Department Book is undoubtedly a careless book, and none of them can do it for a long time.

Jiajing seems to want to find someone who really knows how to make money, or a person who can "turn stones into gold" in the legend, so as to solve the current financial dilemma of the Ming Dynasty.

"The household department has already handed the excerpt to the cabinet, and the candidates have been prepared, and only the Holy Imperial Pen Zhu is needed!" Yan Song was a little disadvantaged, put his hand into his cuff and took out a fold, and then handed it to Huang Jindao.

After suffering financially, Yan Song, a loyal minister who thought about Jiajing in everything, naturally searched his intestines and stomachs, and finally thought of a "good strategy", but he hit the idea on the salt policy.

The idea is actually very simple, and it has the same effect as the monopoly of future generations.

Yan Song thought that the salt policy was not prosperous, mainly because of the price competition between the two Zhejiang, the two Huai, Changlu and Hedong, which made the salt introduction "not fruitful". However, if the four regions were to be handed over to a single official prime minister, the consequences of the competition between the four regions would be eliminated, and the salt tax would be greatly increased.

This somewhat "harmful" proposal was approved by Jiajing, and it was handed over to Yan Song to handle this matter, and Yan Maoqing, the left deputy capital recommended by Yan Song, was adopted.

After reading the excerpts, Jiajing nodded approvingly: "Weizhong, this time you have thought of this good plan!" ”

"The old minister is terrified! Saint, the current finances are indeed a little difficult, but no matter what, the old minister will definitely do his best to clear all obstacles for the saint's cultivation! The old minister is willing to do his best for the saint, and then die! Yan Song said loyally, tears rolling in his eyes.

"I can only have it, it is my luck!" Jiajing also seemed to be touched, and closed the dismantling with emotion.

His feelings for Yan Song have actually surpassed the friendship of ordinary monarchs and ministers. Because Yan Song is truly loyal to him, but unlike those Qingliu officials who always keep talking about the world, but they don't know that this world is the world of Zhu Houxi.

After the discussion, the pair of monarchs and ministers had dinner together, and then Yan Song returned to the cabinet to deal with affairs.

Xu Jie watched Yan Song pass by in front of the duty room, and glanced at the hourglass on the table, but sighed softly.

Ever since he decided to take the initiative to replace Yan Song, that ambition has grown like a summer weed, looking for opportunities all the time.

But the reality is very cruel, Yan Song is already eighty-one, although his brain has become dull, but the saint does not have the slightest intention of letting Yan Song leave. Although he wanted to stir up the relationship between the two monarchs and ministers, he had no way to start, and Yan Song was loyal to the saint from the bottom of his heart.

As for some evidence of greedy ink, it is impossible to hurt Yan Song at all. Li Mo in the past was incorruptible, but because of a small mistake, the result was not a call for his life?

If you want to bring down Yan Song, it is never whether Yan Song is at fault or not, but whether Yan Song has a "different heart" and whether he thinks that the saint is a "faint king".

As for the reward, the cabinet had just finished drawing up the vote, and as a result, the case file of the Leizhou bloody case was submitted to the imperial court, and then a large group of Guangdong officials wrote to impeach Yan Rudou, the deputy envoy of Guangdong and the deputy envoy of the sea patrol.

Yan Shifan originally wanted to quietly keep Yan Rudou who was "derelict in his duties", but seeing the situation developing like this, he immediately scolded Yan Rudou hundreds of times in his heart.
