Kong Minxing's face was depressed, the words and laughter just now were swept away, that kind of unwilling and suffocating attitude is his true temperament, this person has been following Xu Guangqi to study agriculture in Tianjin after being promoted, originally wanted to make some achievements and achievements, scholars are not good in a thousand ways, but there is always the heart to serve the country, which is completely different from pure businessmen or nobles, as long as it is not the kind of useless rotten Confucianism, young scholars use their talents in the right way, and they will definitely achieve something.

It's a pity that agriculture is not regarded in the Ming Dynasty, Kong Minxing's previous efforts are completely wasted, if a small stone is thrown in the rushing river, the waves stirred up are nothing more than Xu Guangqi's "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", this book was not valued at the time, only some scholars who are interested in agriculture will study, hundreds of years later, later generations realized the value of this book, and "Heavenly Creation", are epoch-making works, unfortunately, all wasted.

Zhang Han got up, poured a glass of wine for Kong Minxing, raised it between his eyebrows, and said solemnly: "This cup of wine respects the benevolence of Xuanhu Gong and Zhizhi's brother to help the country and benefit the people." ”

Kong Minxing was greatly moved, raised his glass and drank it all, and said with a smile: "With Wenlan's words, I feel that the time of those years has not been wasted. ”

Zhang Han said: "I haven't been able to read the complete book of agricultural administration, since I will ask someone to buy it and study it, and there is also an introduction from my brother, I think this book will help me a lot...... My and Yusheng harvest grain, will also encourage me to harvest grain in the area of wide range of sweet potatoes, if Xuanhu Gong's many methods are effective, equal to hundreds of thousands of people, you know, Datong and northwest places, has been affected by disasters for many years, northern Shaanxi, has been a famine, if you can promote sweet potato and corn planting, there are too many people who survived, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, I have been in China for thousands of years, that is, there are Xuanhu Gong such a pillar of the people, only to pass on the torch, civilization is endless, if there is a chance, must kneel down in front of him to salute Xuanhu Gong for a cup. ”

Kong Minxing was a little surprised and said, "Wen Lan's words are serious. ”

Zhang Han is indeed a little agitated in his heart, after a long time, he has been getting along with people of this era for a long time, and he inevitably has feelings. Originally, the mind of treating himself as a gamer has faded a lot, and even faintly, Zhang Han also wants to help Daming and Huaxia, you know, most of the people and things he is in contact with now will be crippled in the great changes of the Ming Dynasty and Qingxing, I don't know how many people will die, how many beautiful things will die, take Zhang Han as an example, he has accepted his clothes and hairstyle, and accepted a lot of Ming people's living habits.

It's a pity that he is a soft-spoken person in the end, and after so long, the officials he saw were either corrupt or mediocre, and most of the gentry only cared about their own interests, ignoring others, and finally asked him to meet a respectable Chinese scholar, although Kong Minxing was only a disciple of Xu Guangqi, but what was revealed between the words was enough to make Zhang Han admire.

A scholar like Xu Guangqi is worthy of the word "scholar", and he is the representative of this class that Chinese people respect as soon as they mention it.

It is a pity that such a person was ostracized in the court of Daming, and his theories and efforts were almost in vain, just like Xu Guangqi's achievements in agriculture, if the imperial court took the lead in improving improved seeds and popularizing planting, the disasters caused by the drought during the Xiaoice Age could be solved in 20 years, millions of people would be saved from starvation, tens of millions of people would not have to be displaced in the flames of the peasant uprising, the northern defense line would be stable, the Jurchens would not have the opportunity to invade, and the process of civilization in China would not have to be interrupted again.

In fact, it is really a small matter, as long as the emperor can pay attention to it, the bureaucracy can make up his mind, and there are powerful people to promote, such as Zhang Juzheng in the early years of Wanli to implement the whip law and re-establish the Yellow Book, how difficult it is, it can be done, but Xu Guangqi's efforts in agronomy, almost no one pays attention to it, no one pays attention to it, let alone spends energy to do it.

Whether it is the Chu Party, the Zhejiang Party or the Donglin Party, in the late Wanli period, what they paid attention to was the political disputes brought about by the three major cases, the emperor was angry, the bureaucracy was heavy, and the dispute was "righteousness".

This is where the chronic disease of Chinese civilization lies, and it is also an important reason why civilization is always disrupted by foreign enemies and trapped in internal friction.

It's just that the shallow hand can't be said deeply, some of Zhang Han's words are not easy to say even to his own mother, not to mention Kong Minxing, after "coughing" at the moment, his face was already a professional smile, and he said calmly at the moment: "Brother Zhi can ask Brother Zunlu to see how big the plate of grain I collect, if the miscellaneous grains can increase income, it is really a great thing, my words, not an exaggeration." ”

Li Shenming nodded a few words when he heard this, Kong Minxing knew that the scope of Zhang Han's grain collection was indeed very large, and the goal was millions of stones per year, such a range of impact was indeed not limited to Datong, it should be the entire northern Jin and Xuanfu to Jizhen area will be affected, and Jinnan and Henan may also be within the scope of grain collection in the future, the farmers have increased their income, Zhang Han has naturally collected more grain, and his income has also increased greatly.

As for Zhang Han's plan to trade with the Beiyu, it is not a taboo for Kong Minxing, the courtiers are full of benevolence and righteousness to privately put Yinzi money abound, and many important ministers have also traded with Mongolia when presiding over the affairs of Jizhen Xuanda, and even presided over the smuggling of grain.

Even Kong Minxing himself never felt that there was much of a deal in trade.

The war of the whole country, the life and death of the nation, the general war, the trade war, the economic blockade, these words did not exist in the Ming Dynasty, and naturally no one would think of the meaning, for the Ming Dynasty, the ban on absolute Mongolian trade was just to prevent the "capital enemy", and more and deeper meaning will not be thought of, and naturally no one will care too much.

Since he was not disgusted, Kong Minxing felt something very keenly, he thought about it, and said to Zhang Han: "There is one thing, it is not good to say to everyone for the time being, out of my mouth, into the ears of the two of you, don't pass it on to a third person to know." ”

Zhang Han and Li Shenming nodded of course, and Kong Min Xingcai continued: "The situation in Liaodong is very bad, the imperial court has sent Yang Jingfu as a supervisor to Liaodong to supervise the battle, but Yang Hao arrived soon after the Dongyu invaded the Qinghe River from the Yahu Pass, and more than 10,000 border troops were killed in the Ming Dynasty, and the deputy general Zou Chuxian was also killed in battle, and the emperor gave Yang Jingfu Shangfang a sword, and he rectified the Liao soldiers, and at the same time urged all kinds of reinforcements to hurry to Liao, prepare for a decisive battle with the captives, and destroy the captives in one fell swoop. The governor of Liaodong and the original governor of Jiliao are not satisfactory, and they may have to be replaced, recently, Duke Wen got the news that the imperial court may intend to ask him to pick up the governor of Jiliao. ”

Wen Gong is the current Datong governor Wenqiu, the old qualification of the governor of the border Sai, in Datong is also considered a soldier, recently the Liao affairs have been corrupted, the Wanli Emperor is very dissatisfied with the current Jiliao governor Wang Keshou, it is a matter of time before he goes to office, Wenqiu takes over as the governor of Datong, the qualifications are enough, and it is not a very surprising thing.

Zhang Han was very shrewd, and said at the moment: "If the trade road is opened to the northern captives of Liaodong and Liaoxi, it is necessary to ask Duke Wen to take care of it." ”

"I estimate that the military gate will agree to this," Kong Minxing said: "How to distribute it, this matter will be run by Zunlu." ”

"Thank you very much." Li Shenming raised his glass and said with a smile: "Datong, Xuanfu, all run through, Jizhen and Liao Town are a little difficult, with the help of Duke Wen to build a bridge, things are much easier to do." ”

The current governor of Xuanfu and the general soldier Li Shenming are on the line, Jizhen and Baoding plus Liaozhen, these towns are too far apart, and the relationship is also difficult to match, Li Shenming went out for a run a while ago, and only put the line of Xuanfu on and consolidated, it is still far from Jizhen, if Wenqiu, the governor of Datong, is transferred to the governor of Jiliao, then things will be really much easier.

"How did you choose Inspector Yang Hao?"

Yang Hao's defeat caused by Sarhu is a well-known historical fact in later generations, Zhang Han was puzzled when he was studying, and now he is half a person in the game, and he couldn't help muttering for a while.

"Yang Jingfu is also a soldier among the current governors and court officials?" Kong Minxing was strange, and asked rhetorically: "Yang Jingfu is honest in participating in politics, Tuntian has quite a real achievement, and later made great contributions to the raid of Dong Yiyuan, the chief soldier of Jizhen Town, although there are small setbacks, there are also many achievements, when he was the governor of Liaodong, he and Li Rumei and others have fought many times in person, most of the people who command the troops in Wenchen do not know the generals, do not know the soldiers, Yang Jingfu dares to go into battle in person, and the courage is strong, and he has served as the governor of Liaodong, and he is familiar with Liao generals and Liao soldiers, at such a critical moment, without this person, who is used? ”

Zhang Han nodded silently, and appointed Yang Hao from the courtiers to the approval of the Divine Sect, without any twists and turns, it seems that the view of later generations on Yang Hao is because this person lost Salhu, and the failure of this critical battle is an important reason for Yang Hao's reputation, and at this time, it seems that Yang Hao has rich experience and qualifications in commanding troops, and he is from Liaodong, and Liao affairs are corrupt, and he uses this person to control the Liao generals to conquer the Jurchens, which is the most suitable candidate.

As for Xiong Tingbi, whom Zhang Han admires very much, he is indeed much weaker than Yang Hao in terms of actual performance and qualifications, no wonder Mingshenzong also likes Yang Hao at this time and believes in him.

However, Shenzong also quickly adjusted after Yang Hao's defeat and appointed Xiong Tingbi to save the situation in Liaodong.
