There is no Yi Palace, the old pavilion is in the room, and the sandalwood is curling.

A gray-haired old man suffocated, stretched out a withered hand from his crimson official robe, held a brush, and wrote on the note: "Please gather the courtiers!" "Five words.

When he was finished, he exhaled a little air, and the brush was gently put down, and then he blew the ink on the slip of paper, and then carefully pasted it on the cover of the notebook.

After these things were dealt with, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Yan Song is over 70 years old this year, although he still has tinnitus and deaf eyes, his brain reaction has been sluggish, and his physical strength is not as good as before. What used to take an hour to process now takes twice as long.

Thanks to the trust of the saints, the recitals he voted for were often approved, so he didn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest.

This hundreds of copies of the book every day seem like a lot, but almost none of them are trivial, and some are more related to the people of the world.

When the last notebook was finished, he was relieved that it was almost time for lunch. After his work efficiency decreased, he also became more diligent, as the so-called diligence can make up for his shortcomings.

It's just that there are two separate copies of the book next to it, one is Jia Yingchun, the new secretary of the Ministry of Households, and the other is Lei Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. The former proposed to increase the revenue of the Ming Dynasty, while the latter proposed to continue to build the city wall to strengthen the defense of Gyeonggi.

These are undoubtedly the two most important things today, the former is related to the financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty, and the latter is related to the safety of Gyeonggi. Even the latter is more important than the former, since the accident on the Xuanfu side, the saint has paid more attention to the safety of the capital.

Just thinking about things, the subordinate came in and told Si Zhilang that Lin Haoran was back, so he let him in.

Yan Song looked at the young man who walked in, and couldn't help sighing, thinking of the poem in "Talking about the Past and the Present": "There are talented people in the country, and each has led the way for hundreds of years."

Although he has been the first assistant for more than ten years and has enjoyed the taste of holding power in the world, if he can exchange, he will definitely exchange with the young man in front of him without hesitation.

At the age of seventeen, he achieved the fame of winning six yuan in a row, and even received the Wenkui plaque given by the saint, which is too high. As long as you don't make desperate mistakes, you can't run away from the glory and wealth of this life, and you can even leave a brilliant mark in the history books.

The era that belongs to him Yan Weizhong is gradually passing, and the next era is very likely to be the young man in front of him. It's just a pity that he is already old and can't see what the future of Daming will look like.

"Tell Lord Yuanfu, Jia Shangshu asked Weichen to tell you, and he will come over to discuss with you later!" Lin Haoran came in from outside, with some tears on his forehead, and arched his hands respectfully.

Yan Song was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Will Jia Shangshu and others come to me?" ”

Jia Yingchun has always been on the wrong path with him, and he has his own department in the Criminal Department, and he doesn't pay attention to the cabinet at all. Of course, the Criminal Department is in charge of cases across the country, and it rarely needs to be interrogated by the Cabinet, so it is normal that there is not much contact.

It's just that Jia Yingchun was promoted by Xu Jie, and he hasn't come to the cabinet to visit him these days, and the relationship between the two sides has long been ossified. Now Jia Yingchun is the secretary of the household department, and he also has the meaning of taking care of it himself behind closed doors.

When he saw Jia Yingchun's recital before, he actually intended to summon him to the cabinet for discussion, but he was afraid that this was a self-deprecating and boring move, so he let Lin Haoran go this way.

But he never expected that Jia Yingchun would choose to come to see him. He couldn't figure it out, so he suspected that something was wrong with his ears, especially since his ears had been roaring lately.

"Yes, Jia Shangshu will probably discuss the previous proposal with you, but he seems to think that there is something wrong with that proposal!" Lin Haoran's face was very calm, and he repeated it again.

Yan Song glanced at Lin Haoran deeply, with a look of relief on his face, and then raised his hand to let him go down.

"I'm really old!"

After Lin Haoran left, Yan Song leaned on the chair handle and sighed.

He has never despised Lin Haoran, how can a person who can win six yuan in a row be an ordinary person? It's just that he didn't expect that he still underestimated this young man.

In this young man, he did not see the frivolity of youth, nor did he have impetuousness, but was as sophisticated as a fox, and knew how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Sending him to inquire about Jia Yingchun today is naturally not a good errand, and Jia Yingchun will definitely not give him any good looks. But he just saw the mystery in the incident, and he could let Jia Yingchun come here obediently.

Although it is said that his son Yan Shifan is the smartest person in the Ming Dynasty, if Shifan is asked to do this, he will definitely not be as good as this young man.

After about a cup of tea, Jia Yingchun really appeared, and his attitude was not as indifferent as before.

It's just that after talking, he is actually very disappointed in his heart.

Because this man still insisted on his previous proposal, insisting that this was the only way to solve the Ming Dynasty's finances.

This method can indeed increase the tax and grain revenue of the Ming Dynasty, and the obsession of the Ming officials with the official position is actually stronger than many people imagine, and in order to be promoted, they can throw their dignity on the ground.

If they were to be given an official letter telling them that they would be promoted by this extra amount of grain, how would they care about the lives of the people?

If this opinion is implemented, Daming's finances will increase revenue, but local officials are afraid that some ordinary people will be sucked into the bones. The Ming Dynasty can survive with less taxes and grain, but the people are fated if they have less food.

"You go back first! I'll discuss it with Xu Ge Lao again! Yan Hao raised his hand, a little helpless.

It's just that these words fell on Jia Yingchun's ears, but his eyes flashed with joy, and then he said goodbye and left.

Yan Song saw that Jia Yingchun did not leave the cabinet directly, but went to Xu Jie, and suddenly couldn't help but secretly have a headache.

In fact, he did not agree with this Jia Yingchun to take over as the head of the household department, this Jia Yingchun was promoted with military merits and had the courage to do things, but he could sacrifice everything for the so-called victory, and I am afraid that he did not have enough wisdom to take care of the mess of the household department.

There is no problem with this kind of person in the criminal department, as long as he is fair enough, he can be competent, and the case almost does not need to be handled by the criminal department. But this is different, it needs to allocate resources, and it needs the kind of sleek and bent and stretching.

He even felt that Lin Haoran, a little hairy man, was stronger than Jia Yingchun.

It's just that he is old, and now he has controlled the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry, and his appearance can't be too ugly. In particular, he can't control his son's hands anymore, and the household department can't fall into the hands of their strict party, otherwise the entire Ming Dynasty will be chaotic.

When he arrived, he led Xu Jie and Lu Ben towards the Zichen Palace, intending to carry out another important task today - to discuss the personnel adjustment of the Hanlin Academy.
