Chapter 655: Generosity
"Baidu Otaku as Chongzhen"
The weather is getting cooler. After a rain, the heat of Beijing has almost subsided, and what remains is the unique coolness of autumn.
Mandarin Palace.
Yang Gengai convened several ministers to discuss the matter.
After reporting the war in Liaodong, disaster relief and other routine reports in turn, today's highlight opened, saying that it was the highlight, but in fact, it was not too much, and in today's earth-shaking Ming Dynasty, it really can't be ranked.
"Yuan Chonghuan said that Lin Dan Khan was forced to lose again and again, and Liu Jishan said that Lin Dan Khan hopes that our dynasty can give more help, what do you think about this matter?" Yang Gai flipped through the notebook, picked up this matter and said.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should try his best to prevent the easterners from advancing westward, once the easterners enter the west, the easterners will resurrect again, and they will regain their vitality, which will be very unfavorable to our dynasty......" Shi Fenglai was still the first to say, saying that it was a rule, and it seemed to be very reasonable.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should also try his best to prevent the easterners from advancing westward, once the easterners enter the west, then the entire steppe will be the racetrack of the easterners, and the things that I was most worried about before will happen, the ministers think that the pressure should be increased to deal with Lin Dan Khan, and Lin Dan Khan must not be swallowed by the eastern......" Han Yi also came out and said.
"Returning to Your Majesty, the ministers are also in favor of aiding Lin Dan Khan...... more ministers said. This matter, in the court of view is basically the same, that is, you must not let the east capture west, once the east capture west, then the earlier emperor was most worried about about the thing will happen, the east capture from the Ming Dynasty thousands of miles of the border wall at any point, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to defend, always everywhere in the sake of being beaten, to happen this kind of thing, it is really a tragedy of the Ming Dynasty, so, when I heard the emperor say that Lin Dan Khan asked for help, the words are almost the same.
"Well, it is not possible to go west, once the east is in the west, then I am in a passive position, these thousands of miles of border walls, but it has become a sieve, fortified everywhere, which is equivalent to no defense of the source, the greed of the east is not ......comparable to Lin Dan Khan" Yang Reform said, Lin Dan Khan's request for help, it is not the first time it has happened, it has happened one after another, Yang Reform with these letters for help, you can imagine the situation of Lin Dan Khan, Lin Dan Khan is a tragedy, a doomed tragedy, Yang Reform has always been so determined.
ββ¦β¦ Since all of you feel that you should continue to help, then continue to help, this time, Lin Dan Khan opened his mouth and asked for a lot of things...... 150,000 taels of silver, 2,000 rods of silver, ...... arrows, ...... of grain, and cloth" Yang Gai glanced at the list of requests for assistance and said.
I heard that it was going to cost 150,000 silver, and everyone talked about it again, although now it seems that 150,000 is not a lot, and the court can afford it, but some people feel that Lin Dan Khan asked for too much, in addition to silver, there are muskets, grain, cloth, but everything.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although our dynasty has an alliance with Lin Dan Khan, the grassland must not be lost, but Lin Dan Khan's mouth is also too big, and the minister thinks that he should not give so much, and he must let Lin Dan Khan know that my Ming money's money is not easy to obtain, and it is accumulated by the blood and sweat of the people." Seeing that so much money was to be given, some people were not happy and began to suggest that the emperor reduce the quantity.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your ......Minister" someone came out to support this statement.
"Well, yes, that makes sense, and does the Qing family have a different opinion?" Yang Gai listened to everyone's speeches, but did not express his position, but asked if there was anything else to speak. This matter, it doesn't seem to be a big deal, there are precedents before, it is okay to follow the rules, Yang Reform does not have to bring this matter to the small court to say, but in fact, this matter involves the northern strategy, the progress of the whole strategy, must be in their own hands, the progress is too fast, then we must use means, balance, delay the development of the situation, if the development of the situation is too slow, then we must use the means, slightly promote the development of the situation, in short, only things according to their own established rhythm can be done, as for the problem of more money and less money, This Yang Reform didn't care too much, the silver and a large area of land, compared with the elimination of Dongyu, the elimination of Lin Dan Khan, and even the solution of the problem, it is not worth mentioning at all. Needless to say, discussing the matter of silver and material support is actually just a superficial issue. ,
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that with his support for Lin Dan Khan and the Dongyu to fight, it will cost money in vain, it is better for me to send troops to exterminate the Dongyu, so there is no need to give Lin Dan Khan silver money, I don't know ...... Your Majesty" someone else proposed.
ββ¦β¦ Lord Chen, I don't understand this sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, but I actually want to go into battle in person? Don't you know how much it costs to send troops to our dynasty and how much it costs to support Lin Dan Khan? Yang Reform has not criticized this minister, and someone immediately criticized this minister, and today's ministers have good vision, good thoughts, and have experienced so many things, and they have all corrected it a little, and they are used to the emperor's logic of doing things, and they are also used to thinking before speaking and doing things. Although this change is very small, the level of dealing with national affairs has improved a lot, and the kind of words that boast about others and speak without thinking are becoming less and less, and there is something to say, and it has gradually become the new favorite of this court.
This official seems to be a newcomer, Yang Gai looked at Miansheng, and if he looked closely, he seemed to be Cao Yubian's successor, it seemed that his name was Chen Yuting, and he was an authentic Donglin Party, no wonder he spoke so unreliable, thinking that these officials had been trained by themselves for so long, and they had somewhat improved.
Seeing that some people criticized the newcomers, many people cast their eyes, as if they were watching this matter.
"......", the criticized official, was a little anxious, and some were red-faced, he didn't expect that there would be people in the court to criticize him, and what he didn't expect was that everyone was not optimistic about his opinion.
ββ¦β¦ Chen Qing's family has just taken office, and he is not familiar with the previous things, and he doesn't know a lot of things, so he doesn't blame the Qing family, and the Qing family will listen to and ......watch more in the future," Yang Reform said.
"Obey the order!" Chen Yuting agreed with some embarrassment, he took Cao Yubian's class, Cao Yubian personally talked to him, what he said, no one knows, but presumably he also knows the reason why he got this position, presumably Cao Yubian also explained to him, so Chen Yuting, who is known for his impeachment sharpness, saw the emperor speak, but immediately gave birth to him, and did not fight the emperor.
"On the issue of sending troops, I have said before, and now I repeat it again, it is already difficult for our dynasty to maintain the pressure on the Dongyu, and it is really a shortcoming of our dynasty to go deep into the inland and fight with the Dongyu, and the odds of victory are really not great, and we still need to plan again, so at present, we still try to besiege, sΔo disturb, and exert pressure on the Dongyu, and the time for the decisive battle is not yet ripe, so Lin Dan Khan's side still needs to support......" Yang Reform explained again, looking at Cao Yubian's person while talking, Yang Reform felt, this guy's grade seems to be a lot lower than Cao Yubian, and he can't say where Yang Reform is specifically, anyway, he just thinks it's low.
ββ¦β¦ His Majesty Shengming ...... "After listening to the emperor's explanation, Chen Yuting still replied a little embarrassed, he is not a person who is easy to be soft, but in the face of the emperor, he has to be soft, and even there is a trace of fear in his eyes, he remembered what Cao Yubian said to him, the emperor's thoughts and sights must be higher than him I don't know how many times, dealing with the emperor, you must learn to hold the middle, you must learn to say things, you must be reliable in talking and doing things, otherwise, the emperor is not eye-catching, Every time I think of the words that Cao Yubian, who is very old, said to himself as if he was explaining the aftermath, Chen Yuting's heart feels fearful, he can convince a stubborn person like Cao Yubian, and the person who changes his opinion is definitely not an ordinary person.
"This matter, let's settle it, I still agree to his request, put pressure on Dongyu, so as to reduce the pressure on his side, still agree to his request to give him support, and on the basis of what he wants, add two percent, just say that I gave it to him, since he and I are united, I will not let him down, I hope he will not let me down......" Yang Gai said expressionlessly.
The ministers listened to the emperor add two percent on the basis of that, they were all a little inexplicable, and even felt a little weird, they just thought that they gave more money, and there were those who thought they gave less money? Do you want to add 20%?
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what does this mean, can you be a minister and other ministers do not understand, and immediately asked.
"Hehe, didn't I just say that? I will join forces with Lin Dan Khan to deal with Dongyu, since it is a union, then, naturally, I will not let him down, of course, I also have to tell Lin Dan Khan, I hope he will not let me down......" Yang Gai laughed dryly, and then repeated what he meant, deliberately emphasizing that he did not want Lin Dan Khan to let him down. ,
The ministers looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd.
Chen Yuting was used to wanting to open his mouth to speak, but when he opened his mouth several times, he remembered the advice Cao Yubian gave him, and when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it again, and remembered what the emperor had just said, asking him to listen more and watch more ......, but Chen Yuting's words still didn't come out.
Faced with such a strange reason, the ministers didn't know what to say, in order to show the emperor's generosity? Or does it show the generosity of the Ming Dynasty? Or is it something else?
Yang Reform has his own considerations, on the one hand, today's Lin Dan Khan is really tragic, when he meets Houjin, he is completely the master of meat, if he doesn't give him support, I'm afraid that this guy will give the anxious Houjin bite all over his body, I'm afraid it won't last long, this is inconsistent with Yang's reform strategy, what's the matter, it will also be supported until next year; To give him support, there is another layer of meaning, that is, to bind Lin Dan Khan in Liaodong, bound to Jinning, so that he and Houjin can not avoid it, can only continue to rub and bleed, if Lin Dan Khan was hurt by the East and ran west, but Yang reform's abacus can not be beaten, the agreement formulated by Yang Reform and Lin Dan Khan is that the materials can only be received in Jinning, because the Ming Dynasty itself is short of food and other materials, and there is no food for him on the inland border wall. Naturally, I can only go to Jinning to get food and other materials, which is the reason. It's too big, this piece close to Liaodong can't stay, Lin Dan Khan can also go to other places to avoid the limelight, if you don't use interests to contain Lin Dan Khan in Liaodong, I'm afraid that Lin Dan Khan will run away early, there will be two left in Liaodong, this strategy of encircling Houjin, but there will be a big hole in advance, this situation can't happen; There is also a little bit of sΔ« heart in Yang reform......
After dealing with a few more things, the small court discussion was dispersed.
β¦β¦
Yang Gengai, who had dispersed the dynasty, saw that it had just rained, and the sky was sunny after the rain, and the air seemed exceptionally fresh, so he had the idea of going around.
Accompanying Yang Reform was Sun Chengzong, Wang Chengen followed a little behind, and the others were farther away from him.
"Master Sun, it seems that the situation in Liaodong is becoming more and more unstable." Yang Reform was moved, Lin Dan Khan has only been a long time, and he disregarded his face and came to ask for help for the second time, which shows that Lin Dan Khan's life is really not good.
"Back to Your Majesty, yes, the situation in Liaodong really needs to be stabilized, at least this year Lin Dan Khan needs to be nailed to that place, and Lin Dan Khan must not be allowed to move." Sun Chengzong said. At this time, Sun Chengzong said what was in his heart, in the court meeting, Sun Chengzong basically did not speak, some things, if he opened his mouth, it was inevitable that he would end up in a battle of tongues, and if he did not speak, he would be exempted from right and wrong.
"Hehe, indeed, Lin Dan Khan is really needed to nail that place now,...... Hehe, now I'm afraid that Lin Dan Khan is also very annoyed, don't want to get a point of support if you leave, you have to lose your territory, if you don't go, you have to fight to the death with Dongyu, presumably he is also embarrassed! Now I am so anxious to ask me for support, I am afraid that I also have the mind to leave......" Yang Reform said with a smile, looking at the problem from the overall situation, he will come to a lot of different conclusions, Lin Dan Khan's every move is under Yang Reform's nose, what Lin Dan Khan thinks, what to do, Yang Reform is not difficult to guess, Lin Dan Khan gave himself a problem, Yang Reform easily gave Lin Dan Khan a problem, you lion opened his mouth to ask yourself to support, and it is so intensive, then I will simply add two more to you, Yang Reform wanted to see how this Lin Dan Khan took the move, although it seemed to be an ordinary thing, in fact, it was also a move between the two of them.
ββ¦β¦ Your Majesty is right, Lin Dan Khan is indeed in a dilemma now, Your Majesty's hand is indeed wonderful, and he pushes the boat easily, Lin Dan Khan is only afraid that it will be more difficult now...... "Sun Chengzong affirmed the emperor's statement, this is the real inside story of this matter, not many people know about this matter, and the truth of the inside story here is completely different from the previous statement in the small court.
"Hehehe, Lin Danhan is also an ambitious person, but it was not the right time to be born, and when he met Dongyu's heart, I am afraid that he will waste his life,...... Today, he came to ask for support, but I'm afraid it won't be long, and he will come to ask for it again......" Yang Reform smiled and gave Lin Danhan an evaluation, and by the way, he concluded that Lin Danhan would come to ask for money.
"Your Majesty is very right, Lin Dan Khan is in a dilemma, don't think about His Majesty's support if he retreats, he has lost a lot of money and material support, and he has lost a lot of money if he doesn't return, and now this money can only be pressed for a while, and he thinks he will come to ask for it, but even if he comes again, it doesn't matter if he wants it, it won't be a long time before the snow is outside the gate, and after the snow, Lin Dan Khan's stay is no longer important, and he will come once or twice at most......" Sun Chengzong also gave his own judgment, many things, Sun Chengzong negotiated directly with the emperor, and what he knew, especially in military affairs, was not comparable to ordinary ministers, and what he said was closest to the truth. ,
"Hehehe, Master Sun is very right, it won't be long before it snows...... at most, at most it's just one or two more, I can still afford it, I don't just want to give, I have to give him more, I want to see if this Lin Dan Khan can make that determination, don't give up my support,...... Hehe, it's just a million silver coins, and I can afford to give ......, it depends on whether Lin Dan Khan has the ability to do it......" Yang Reform said with a smile. In order to attract Lin Dan Khan to Liaodong and make peace, Yang Reform was willing to pay the capital. If you want to talk about this money, you have to give it to the previous Yang reform, Yang reform will really hurt for a long time, and it will really stump Lin Dan Khan, but for the current Yang reform, it is really nothing, there is a bank in hand, and I am afraid that there will be no money to spend?
Yang Gengai and Sun Chengzong exchanged views, and they were quite happy with the conclusions they reached. After thinking about it, he said again.
"Master Sun, when it comes to this strategy in the north, I have a problem in mind......" Yang Reform thought about it and said, Yang Reform was ready to tell Sun Chengzong about the "Living Buddha" and listen to Sun Chengzong's opinion, but when the words came to his mouth, Yang Reform stopped again, there were some problems, Yang Reform hadn't thought about it yet, and felt that it was not appropriate to say it now, so when the words came to his mouth, he took it back.
"Oh, dare to ask Your Majesty what is the matter?" Sun Chengzong asked.
"It's about family registration." Yang reformed and reformed
"Household registration? I wonder what Your Majesty is referring to? Sun Chengzong asked puzzled.
"I'm thinking, since we want to promote this household registration, then, after next year's war, there will definitely be a large number of ownerless cultivated land outside this pass, and I mean to sell these lands, on a large scale, not just the current model ......of organizing business groups to develop," Yang thought for a while and said.
ββ¦β¦ What does Your Majesty mean that you are not allowed to buy land without a household registration? Sun Chengzong knew about the household registration, knew that the emperor intended to promote the household registration, linked a lot of "rights" to the household registration, and "forced" the people of the Ming Dynasty to truthfully register themselves, so that the imperial court could accurately obtain the population data, the real population data, and the benefits were quite many. Seeing that the emperor mentioned the affairs of the north and the household registration together, he immediately thought of this.
"Yes, what I mean is that in the future, the land in the north, including the land overseas, can only be sold to those who have my Ming household registration,...... The household registration thing must be a good thing in the future, and in many ways, it must be an invincible weapon......" Yang Reform said, the matter of the living Buddha was not said, and this matter is still a big deal. ROοΌγ
