After talking about the long-term plan, Guo Pu talked to Gao Pragmatic about the two major events that he was going to do in the near future, and according to his thoughts, these were probably the last two major events before his honorable retirement.

These are two interrelated things: one is the Great Reading, and the other is the Confession.

The big parade is the so-called military parade in later generations, which is not held regularly in the Ming Dynasty, but depends on the demand.

During the Longqing period, there was a big parade, which was held by Zhang Juzheng to invite Emperor Longqing to hold before the restoration of the high arch, and the main intention at that time was to show the new monarch to shake the brush washing, and the military power of the Ming Dynasty was already at its peak - this was obviously done for Altan Khan, who came to visit the vicinity of the Beijing division at every turn.

After Gao Gong came to power, because the Ming Dynasty was immersed in reform, there was no war worth mentioning, and there was no enemy worth deterring with Dayue, and Gao Gong was reluctant to spend the money and grain used for reform on these things, so he did not engage in Dayue.

But this year, there was a big parade, which was invited by Wu Dui, the secretary of the Ministry of War, after Gao Pragmatic entered Thang Long, but the cabinet did not agree at that time, and the emperor refused.

Later, Gao Pragmatic took Thanh Hoa, and Annam achieved "reunification" with the support of the Ming Dynasty, and was "peacekept" by the Ming garrison, and Gao Pragmatic even reorganized the Annam army. With the signing of the "Sixteen Articles", the Jinghua Group, on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, actually controlled the military and political power in Annam.

At this time, Zhu Yijun began to feel that it was necessary to read the big page, and the attitude of the cabinet was also relaxed.

After the second block Gao pragmatic executed Zheng Song on behalf of the heavens, and sent the "Li Clan's Guilty Minister" to Beijing, Wu Dui went up again and asked to hold a big reading as part of the sacrifice.

The proclamation had its own etiquette and had nothing to do with the Great Reading, but this proposal was supported by the emperor, and after deliberation, the cabinet also thought that it could be used as an expedient measure - the Great Reading was held before the Great Reading, each with its own rituals, but it was held one after another, which did not conflict, and allowed people to understand the meaning of the two major events, which were the same.

The great Ming benevolence is mighty, and the gods are as powerful as a mountain!

Zhu Yijun was most proud, in addition to arriving in Annan and recovering the enmity of the Ninth Emperor, that is, Gao Shishi's words that scolded Zheng Song at that time, especially his words at that time to explain the withdrawal of the Ming Dynasty from Annan in the past, which were praised by the world:

"In the past, when Yongle was in the past, Li Jichen conspired to usurp the throne, changed his name, tyrannized the people, and attacked the neighbors, which was not tolerated by the ghosts and gods of this world. I became Emperor Zuwen and was killed by the four seas, rising and falling, and sent an envoy to escort the Chen family's widows back to the country, but they were intercepted and killed by Li Yi, so he hanged the people and went out to the south. Then I searched for the heirs of the Chen clan but couldn't, thinking of the people of Tiannan and other people, but because of things and leaving the king, like a child's mistake, this was set up to Jiaozhi Bu Political Secretary, in order to educate!

Who knew that Qinghua Li Li, with a small patrol and a knife soldier, chaotic toe for 20 years, several times defeated by my heavenly soldiers, but the thief's heart did not change! I, Emperor Xuanzongzhang, are benevolent, and I can't bear that the people of Annan have been suffering from the war for a long time, and their lives are ruined, so I gave him the name of Annan and the lord of the county king.

What happened to Annan after that? Above the temple, the rotten wood is the official; Between the palaces and majestys, birds and beasts eat Lu. As a result, the wolf-hearted and dog-lunged generations were in power, and the servants and servants were in charge one after another, and the society was turned into a ruin, and the common people were devastated......

Today, I look at Annan, although it has been inherited for thousands of years, but there are such a number of people who have forgotten their ancestors and stole high positions, which is really ominous! Such thieves, if you don't kill them, it's not enough to be angry! According to the Mandate of Heaven, the troops were sent south to rebel against Kou and restore the prestige of China.

My China is thousands of miles long, the iron horses are in groups, and the jade shafts are connected. Hailing red millet, the accumulation of warehousing is poor; Jiangpu Yellow Banner, how far is Kuang's recovery? The sound of the class moved and the north wind rose, and the sword qi rushed and the south was flat. If you woo, the mountains will collapse, and the wind and clouds will change color. Use this to control the enemy, and the enemy will not be destroyed; In this way, what a merit!

There are also people like Zheng Rei, who are afraid of power but not virtuous, act against the sky, and are desperate...... Kill them all! ”

There are countless Ming scholars and celebrities, and there are thousands of people who can write such articles, but only he is pragmatic to say such appropriate words at such an appropriate moment!

At that time, in front of the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, the emperor excitedly said that he must read and sacrifice, and he said: "Those who avenge me and raise my prestige are all high-ranking officials!" ”

If it weren't for helping the emperor avenge the revenge of the ninth generation, if it wasn't for helping the emperor regain the face of his ancestors, Gao Pragmatic would just break through a small southern barbarian country, how could He De be welcomed by the emperor and walk side by side, and all the officials would not object?

In the Ming Dynasty, it was about an arrogant bone!

Such a thing to earn face for Daming was completed in his highly pragmatic hands, who jumped out at this time to speak against the tune, isn't it extremely unwise?

But Dayue is not so easy to read, especially the stall in Beijing, which is even more troublesome. The last time Zhang Juzheng held a big parade, he began to prepare for it the year before, and it was not until the second year that he did it, and in fact, the troops used were only a few thousand, but the money was like water.

If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Longqing was a benevolent monarch, and he had long been accustomed to the status quo of the household department that had been empty year after year in the last years of Jiajing, he might not even approve it. And fortunately, Gao Gong returned to the court within a few months, and soon took the financial problem as a major matter, and opened the port and collected commercial taxes, so the matter seemed to be calm.

But this year is different. In the past ten years, in addition to paying off the arrears of the past years, the official income has almost doubled compared with the Longqing period - this is obtained without a single levy on the field tax.

However, the imperial court spent more and more money, to name a few examples: the repair of the Yellow River channel has been strengthened, the repair of the Great Wall defense line has been strengthened, the hollow enemy project along the Shuntian-Jizhen led by Qi Jiguang has been completed ahead of schedule due to increased appropriations, the armies of the Nine Sides have begun to take turns to replace the muskets and artillery produced by Jinghua, and the imperial palace, which has not been completely repaired, has finally repaired the three major halls again......

In addition to the redressing of the army, it is actually doing "repairs" - all the repairs should have been repaired from the Jiajing Dynasty and even earlier, but the cost is more.

Oh, there is also a project money that will be spent soon, which is to repair the three new walls of the east, west and north of the Beijing Division. This incident is very interesting: due to the increasing population of the Jingshi, the population pressure and defense pressure are increasing, so at the beginning of the Jiajing Dynasty, it was planned to expand another circle of walls outside the current capital, and the result was ......

There is not enough money.

So Mr. Yan Song, the first assistant at that time, went to the south city for a walk, and put forward an indescribable magical idea: build the south wall first, put it away after repairing, and wait for the remaining three sides to wait for the money in the future.

Good way, really good way, after this new south wall was repaired, it has been waiting there for almost thirty years......

So now that the court has some money, Zhu Yijun is thinking about having to do it quickly, otherwise such a tall and majestic southern wall will poke at the south of the capital, and whoever fights there will think of those bad things in the Jiajing Dynasty, Jiajing is his grandfather after all, which is simply too embarrassing for the emperor. Pragmatism all said that I "are holy and martial arts, and the world praises me", how can I not have this face?

Since Yanjing was already a giant city in this era, and this outer city was expanded on the basis of the Beijing Division, it would be even bigger, almost reaching the level of the third ring road of the capital in later generations, and the cost of this was still less? There are no hundreds of thousands of taels, and even the city wall can't be repaired.

In addition to all of the above, Zhu Yijun is still engaged in a big reduction in taxes, which has been mentioned before, so I won't repeat it, in short, the attitude is to reduce the field tax and tilt towards commercial taxes. However, Gao Pragmatic has always been skeptical about this - because the land tax is very low, the main reason why the people in Pingtou can't eat is not because of the high state taxes, but because they are forced by the landlords in other aspects, but this happened when he was not in Beijing, and he was not persuaded to persuade him.

Besides, he estimated that Zhu Yijun wanted to use this to show his benevolence and prepare for being completely pro-government, so it would be difficult to say more.

All in all, the current imperial court is earning more than before and spending more than before, so although this big reading has to be done, it can't be done like Zhang Juzheng last time, and it needs to be saved.

After listening to Guo Pu's introduction, Gao Pragmatic asked, "Does the imperial court have a charter now?" ”

Guo Pudao: "The imperial court first sent a Taoist official to inspect the Beijing camp, and then these two people put forward their opinions. As he spoke, he found a piece on the table and handed it to Gao Shishi.

Removing those vain words, this song still says the right thing.

During the inspection of the Beijing camp, Li Tingyi, Chen Shibaotiao, Chen Rongzheng, seven things: first, resumption of work. If there is a project, listen to the Ministry of Engineering to hire two pieces of silver, and gather the rations, salt and silver of each army, although the ministers are not allowed to violate the prohibition of presumption.

Second, Ping Ma Zheng. The three battalions of horses will be completed in the spring exercise, so that the general association of the science and technology will be inspected, and the patrol of the camp horses will be checked when the army is in the summer month, and the seal will be imprinted in October.

Third, go to the virtual text. All battalion generals and officials who have official documents from various yamen are not allowed to send them to deliver them, and the chief officers are not allowed to be sent to practice martial arts in the battalion. Once selected and trained, the first firearms, the second bow and arrow, the second sword and gun, each because of the difficulty of the martial arts to determine the reward and punishment, because of the amount of training, do not lead the virtuous or not, and select teachers, in each battalion carefully selected, not to indiscriminately collect the unstated, in order to open the luck.

Fourth, heavy appointments. Warriors, four guards and two battalions, are close soldiers, the stakes are very heavy, it is advisable to follow the three battalion examples, the camp is vacant, the prison is vacant, send it to the department for investigation, and it is not allowed to make up for the shortcomings, and the general level is vacant, and the supervisor should take the honest cadres to make up for it, and it is not allowed to make up for the committee.

Fifth, the charter is formulated. Various matters in the battalion, such as the second army of the Beijing class and money and food, etc., were a number at the beginning of the country, and a number of them exist today, and the edicts of the officials of the battalion system were played at the same time.

Sixth, it should be practiced. Written into the law, the big reading matters and warriors, four guards and two battalions, the headquarters recently inscribed matters, and the first book was engraved into a book to show the picture one.

Seventh, clear the money and grain. The money and grain of the Taifu Temple will be collected twice a month, and the regular acceptance will not be fixed, and there is no need to limit the number of 30,000, nor shall it be allowed to make mistakes in other matters to support the surplus, and it is advisable to check and publish the report, so as to prevent the invasion of the public expenses in the fishing camp, and the legislative inspection will cut the remaining surplus, so as to prepare for the reward, and the military department will reply as agreed.

Gao pragmatic looked at it, and shook his head slightly in his heart.

Actually, that's all of that...... That's right, but he knows that it won't work.

After watching the big parade for a day, the code word was delayed, and then I thought: Eh, the Ming Dynasty also has a big parade, do you want to add it and write it......
