In front of Fengtian Gate, Jiajing ascended to accept the worship of the ministers, the early dynasty officially began, Xu Jin stood in the front row of the civil official team in a scarlet robe, surrounded by old men with gray beards, only he was young and handsome, very eye-catching, twenty-three-year-old six books, the national dynasty did not have.

The protagonist of today's early dynasty is naturally Xu Jin, he first bowed to Emperor Jiajing, reported on the local situation in Shanxi, and then returned the tiger talisman of the general of Pinglu, as well as the seal letter of Guan Fang, the governor of Zhili, and officially stepped down as the governor of Zhili and the general of Pingyu.

In addition, it is worth mentioning here that Wang Shouren was responsible for leading the army to pursue Bodi Khan, and he is still stationed in Gubeikou, Jizhou Town. Because Gubeikou was violently attacked by the Tatars, even the general soldiers of Jizhou were killed, the local defense was seriously damaged, and it took a certain amount of time to rebuild, so it is unlikely that Wang Shouren would return to the dynasty before the year.

After Xu Jin finished reporting to Emperor Jiajing, the ministers began to work one after another, the busiest is naturally the household department, the year is approaching, it is the time when the financial and tax expenditures of various places are summarized, the officials of the household department are very busy, and there are many things to report to the emperor.

But these are none of Xu Jin's business, he is no longer the left servant of the household department, and he went to the military department to be a leader.

It is said that I replied that this time I went south to cut down the Ming, undoubtedly brought huge losses to the Ming Dynasty, but the war only affected Shanxi and North Zhili, and other parts of the Ming Dynasty still obtained a bumper harvest, especially in the southern provinces, sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other new crops were planted successfully, and the grain output more than doubled.

At this time, the introduction of new crops, and the country's re-clearing of the land, the great benefits of these two policies began to appear, the grain doubled, which means that the Ming Dynasty's fiscal and tax revenues will also double, which is simply a timely rain, to a certain extent to make up for the losses caused by the southward movement of Alta.

In addition, as a result of the lifting of the sea ban and the permission of maritime trade, the customs duties of the municipalities in the southern coastal provinces increased dramatically during the year, which also brought a very considerable amount of revenue to the state treasury and greatly benefited the local economy.

Listening to the good news from the household department, Emperor Jiajing was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and the depression and frustration since this time were swept away, and the ministers were also smiling, with food in their hands, and they didn't panic!

At the same time, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was happy, and his eyes were all turned to Xu Jin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, because whether it was the introduction of new crops, or the re-clearing of the country's land, or the opening of the sea ban, Xu Jin proposed and promoted, and the benefits brought by these three policies alone were not much better than Xu Jin's military exploits, and even surpassed.

From the current point of view, the effect of these three policies is very good, and will fundamentally reverse the dilemma of Daming's financial income exceeding its means for many years. It can be expected that in the long run, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty will flourish, and it is not impossible to reproduce the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, the ministers suddenly realized that Xu Jin, a young man, had seen the problems of the Ming Dynasty so thoroughly, and the policies he adopted were all straight to the point, hitting the nail on the head, which really made people have to be amazed!

In addition, Xu Jin also proposed the establishment of the Ming Silver Account, which has been handled by the Ministry of Household this year, and has not yet seen the effect, I don't know what amazing effect this policy will bring, everyone can't help but look forward to it.

"Alas, I really don't know how Xu Ziqian's head grows, next year when he is young, he has such a deep understanding of the various shortcomings of this dynasty. Compared to this son, we old guys have lived in vain. Jia Yong, the third assistant of the cabinet, couldn't help but sigh secretly.

As everyone knows, the reason why Xu Jin was able to quickly and accurately cut into the various shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty was entirely because he was a traverser and knew very well the main reasons for the later demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Under the scorching gaze of the old men around him, Xu Jin couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp, feeling that he was standing naked ~strip~ in front of a group of old ticket passengers.

Xu Jin suddenly found that being an official in the same dynasty with these upright old guys, although sometimes he was half angry with their old-fashionedness, there was also an advantage, that is, you made achievements, and you didn't have to worry about being jealous or stumbling.

After the household department finished playing, it began to be the turn of the Ministry of Rites, and now the focus of the Ministry of Rites is naturally the spring festival, so the ministers began to spray each other because of the division of heaven and earth.

Xu Jin is not interested in the sacrificial thing, this thing costs the people and money, and it is not beneficial to the country and the people, in his opinion, it is okay to mean it, and the joint sacrifice is better, at least it can save some money and time. However, the sacrifice was first proposed by Jiajing, as long as it was harmless, Xu Jin did not want to stand on the opposite side of Jiajing to refute his face.

Just as the ministers were arguing, Jiajing glanced at Bi Yun, the celebrant and eunuch standing beside him, who immediately stepped forward and waved the court whip and shouted sharply: "Silence! ”

The ministers suddenly quieted down, looked at the throne in unison, and saw Jiajing take out a notebook and say aloud: "I received a letter from Yan Song, the secretary of the Guozijian yesterday, which is quite in line with my heart, and now I have summoned him to read it for all the secretaries." ”

As soon as these words came out, the officials present couldn't help but look at each other and turned their heads to look behind them. Xu Jin's heart moved, and he finally understood why Yan Song appeared outside Zuo'an Gate today, and he dared to come by edict, otherwise he would not be qualified to participate in the Chang Dynasty with his six-grade Guozijian Siye.

"Summoning Yan Song, the secretary of the country's sub-supervisor, to come forward and meet him!" Father-in-law Bi preached loudly, and the guards in front of the palace immediately shouted and passed on wave after wave.

Soon, I saw Yan Song, who was wearing a cyan official robe, walking out of the back of the civil official queue, kneeling down in front of His Majesty Dan excitedly, and shouting: "Minister Yan Song see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Yan Song shouted long live, and bowed respectfully three times.

Zhu Houxi nodded pleasantly, and on the night that Xu Jin used the plan to invite you into the urn to answer, when the situation was undecided, Yan Song ran outside Zuo'an Gate to say hello, so in Zhu Houxi's opinion, Yan Song was a loyal minister.

"Yan Qing's family is flat!" Zhu Houxi smiled and said: "I watched your "Please Raise the Spring Silkworm Ceremony" last night, I thought so, now please Yan Liaojia read it for everyone." ”

Yan Song couldn't help but be overjoyed, just like a primary school student who had been praised by the teacher, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

The ministers present had different expressions, Yan Song had a close relationship with Zhang Xuan, and he was demoted to the position of Guozijian not long ago, but he didn't expect this guy to take a shit luck, and the music on the song is exactly what the emperor wants, and it is estimated that it will be reused soon.

At this time, I saw Yan Song take the notebook handed by Bi Gonggong, coughed lightly and began to read aloud: "Minister Yan Song kneels to play my emperor, agriculture and mulberry are the foundation of the country, and the prosperity of agriculture and mulberry is the prosperity of the country, and the decline of agriculture and mulberry and the decline of the country......

The minister thought that the Son of Heaven should plough in the southern suburbs, and the queen should cultivate silkworms in the northern suburbs, so as to encourage the people of the world to work diligently in agriculture and mulberry ......"

Yan Song's "Please Raise the Silkworm Ceremony" is hundreds of words of foreign wine, which can be summarized as asking the emperor to preside over the spring ploughing ceremony in the southern suburbs, and the queen to preside over the silkworm breeding ceremony in the northern suburbs, so as to encourage the people of the world to work diligently in agriculture.

Originally, there was nothing new in this kind of recital, because many emperors in history held such activities, which first originated in the Zhou Dynasty. However, at this moment, when the ministers were arguing about the division of heaven and earth, Yan Song's note became subtle, because the emperor was pro-farming in the southern suburbs, and the queen was pro-silkworm in the northern suburbs, which was exactly in line with the saying that the northern and southern suburbs were divided into heaven and earth.

Most of the people present are officialdom veterans, how can they not understand the trick, even Xu Jin can't help but praise Yan Song's trick, he really deserves to be a big traitor in history, this operation is enough to offend those ministers who oppose the division of sacrifices between the north and the south, but it caters to the emperor's thoughts.

Sure enough, after Yan Song finished reciting the recital, Jiajing struck while the iron was hot and asked: "Yan Qing's family invited me to hold a spring ploughing ceremony in the southern suburbs, and the queen presided over the silkworm breeding ceremony in the northern suburbs, what do you think?" ”

When Jiajing asked such a question, the ministers who supported the division of the land between the north and the south naturally agreed, while the ministers who opposed the division of the north and the south were speechless, after all, agriculture and mulberry are indeed the foundation of the country, and the ceremony of pro-cultivation and silkworm pro-cultivation is also in line with Zhou etiquette.

Jiajing saw that all the ministers who opposed the division of the north and south sacrifices were dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and said proudly: "Finally cured you old stubborn, Yan Song's performance really helped me a lot, haha!" ”

"Since everyone has no objection, then let's follow Yan Songqing's family's performance, and hold pro-farming and pro-silkworm ceremonies in the northern and southern suburbs of the capital after the year, so that the Ministry of Rites will make preparations from now on!" Jiajing announced loudly.

Xu Jin couldn't help but be speechless, with Zhu Houxi's urine nature, he would definitely take the opportunity to hit the snake with the stick, and by the way, he would also sacrifice heaven and earth, resulting in the fact that the northern and southern suburbs were divided into heaven and earth, so that the ministers could no longer oppose it, so this kid's cleverness was not investigated, but his great wisdom was lacking.

But it's okay, in fact, it's not a big deal to divide the north and south sacrifices, but you have to keep an eye on Yan Song, and you must not let him take the opportunity to take the position.

After the early dynasty, the ministers dispersed one after another, and Xu Jin was left by the emperor to enter the palace for a private chat.

Let's say that Yan Song, after leaving the imperial city from Zuo'anmen, did not return to Guozijian, but rushed home to find his baby son Yan Shifan, because the "Please Raise Silkworm Ceremony" was from Yan Shifan's hand, and now he really won the emperor's favor, Yan Song naturally ran back to continue to ask his son for advice under excitement.

It is said that although Yan Shifan, this kid, usually messes with a bunch of fools, he still has a little ink in his stomach, and his brain is flexible, and some people even call him the first ghost talent of the Ming Dynasty. When Xu Jin saw this one-eyed fat man for the first time, he felt that this thing was not right.
