Yang Gengai was talking to Bi Ziyan about the budget. (Baidu search.dukankan.update is the fastest and most stable, novel network)
Now that the money is spent so fast, even if Yang Reform is now rich, he can't help but be frightened, and he has to think about the budget carefully, although he has also instructed Bi Ziyan to step up preparations in this regard, but Yang Reform knows that it is impossible to say a word by himself, and everything will be done. You have to use your own brains and point out the direction of these groundbreaking things.
"Bi Qingjia, how is the salary of officials this year? What are your plans for next year? Yang Reform took the lead in asking, in fact, the Ming Dynasty is not without a budget, and there are, but in the past, the income of the Ming Dynasty was mainly for officials, and it was basically this budget, and there was basically nothing in other budgets. Since Yang planned to reform the budget, it was natural that in addition to the budget, the budget for education, economy, science and technology, culture, infrastructure projects, military expenses, and so on should not be missing.
"Back to Your Majesty, the actual distribution to the officials of the Lu, or a month or two, or two or three months, will definitely rise once, if the court tax has been good, and strive to next year or the year after, the actual to the hands of the officials to do the same as the customized." Bi Ziyan said. The salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were not high, and they actually had to be "discounted", and the actual ones they received were even lower.
What Yang Reform is doing now is to raise the salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty to the original basis, which is the recent goal of Yang Reform, saying that it is rising, in fact, it is to gradually strip away the water of the officials.
Bi Ziyan said this, but also ambitious, the Ming Dynasty has always been thinking about the reduction of officials' income, has always been less money, only the current His Majesty can do the increase in income, and gradually make up for the officials' income, a direct benefit of this is that he Bi Ziyan has a great reputation in the Ming officialdom.
"Well, that's good, except for the officials' salaries, there is progress in other aspects of the budget?" Yang asked Gengai.
"Back to Your Majesty, there is also some progress ......," Bi Ziyan replied.
Yang Gai was about to listen carefully to the budget, but saw Wang Chengen hurriedly come in and said, "Your Majesty, Master Sun ......of Liaodong is in a hurry."
"Oh, Master Sun's urgent report? What's up? Yang Reform's mind instantly turned to the war.
Wang Chengen looked at Bi Ziyan, didn't think much about it, and said: "Your Majesty, Master Sun reported that although he has now arrived close to Liaoyang, he has not actually had a big fight with the Tartars, and the actual strength of the Tartars still exists, and it is necessary to fight a big battle as soon as possible to weaken the strength of the Tartars, or besiege the Tartars, or capture the Tartars' lair, so as to further weaken the Tartars...... Wang Chengenyu reported, and did not say it because Bi Ziyan was present without the army, Bi Ziyan is a member of the imperial party and a confidant of His Majesty. It doesn't matter if you know.
"Oh, really?" Yang Reform is confused, is this the matter? Yang Gengai remembers that he had already instructed that the scope of the cover should be constantly too large, what should be done, and not be confused by the peace talks? This should not be a big deal.
“…… Your Majesty, Master Sun said that he had given permission to the generals in front to launch a wave of offensive as soon as possible, and at this time, the front may have been ......fighting at this time, "Wang Chengen said, he is in a hurry here.
"Oh, that's it! ......, it doesn't matter, since Master Sun feels that it is necessary to launch a wave of offensive immediately, presumably Master Sun also has a reason......" Yang Reform immediately understood what Wang Chengen meant, and replied without much thought, Yang Reform let Sun Chengzong supervise the nine sides of the meaning is also here, even if the Son of Heaven guards the country, but in fact, Liaodong is quite far away from here. From transmitting the dynamics of the front back to the capital, to the staff to formulate a suitable strategy, and then send it back to the front for execution, it is impossible to do it in ten days and half a month, Yang Reform cannot command the battle in real time, naturally it can only be handed over to trustworthy people, Yang Reform is a very firm support for Sun Chengzong.
"The slave and maid understand......" Wang Chengen said.
“…… By the way, summon the platform of the Yuan Soldier Department to meet me. Yang Gengai thought about it and said.
"Slave and maid obey ......the order," Wang Chengen agreed. …,
"Bi Qing's family, I may not be empty today, let's talk about this matter next time......" Yang Reform thought about it, and said to Bi Ziyan again. Yang Gai knew that if he looked for Yuan Chonghuan again at this time, it would be more of an afterthought, and with the distance from Liaodong to the capital, he was afraid that Liaodong had already started fighting at this time.
"The minister retired." Bi Ziyan said.
After sending Bi Ziyan away, Yang Reform went straight to the platform and found Yuan Chonghuan, more to discuss post-war matters, whether it was defeat or victory, he must be prepared accordingly.
……
Northern Shaanxi.
The land is very arid, and as far as the eye can see, it is full of loess.
A horse-drawn carriage traveled across the land, bringing up smoke and dust along the way.
The sun has long since evaporated the water from the land, and it has also evaporated the vitality of the land.
The whole land was silent, except for the clanging of the carriages, and the sound of the wheels of the carriages, it seemed that there was no sound to be found.
The people in the carriage fell asleep as the carriage swayed.
In one of the carriages, an elderly woman was awake, seemingly sleepless at all, and was distracted with a small bag of cloth in her hand.
It is better to take a handful of soil from your hometown than to love ten thousand taels of gold from another country. This sentence has been lingering in the ears of this elderly woman, and when the immigration officer saw them off, he said so, and almost all of them, who were preparing to emigrate, filled a handful of soil in a small bag as the last attachment to their hometown, and from then on, they were strangers who left their homeland.
Looking at the bag in his hand, he thought of the household registration in his baggage, and the immigration officer said, this is their family's talisman, no matter what happens in the future, there is this thing, no matter where it is, Your Majesty and the court will not ignore them, do not lose this thing, if you lose this, it will be a big trouble, with this, whether it is to work in Beijing in the future, or to go out of the customs, you can have extra care, if you don't have this, I'm afraid that even the salary will be much less than others.
Thinking of this, the old woman grabbed the burden that she had been holding on tighter, and their family now chose to work in Beijing, according to what the immigration officer said, there will be a big difference in salary whether there is a household registration or not, this thing is indeed a treasure for their family.
"Mother......" The young daughter-in-law seemed to be awakened by something, and after waking up, she saw her mother in a daze at the bag of hometown soil, and clutched the burden, so she called softly.
"Alas, daughter-in-law, why don't you sleep?" The old woman replied and said kindly.
"Mother, I can't sleep......," the daughter-in-law said, with some excitement in her voice.
The elderly woman looked at the other people in the car, staggering, and with the shaking of the body, she slept "soundly", and there was nothing she couldn't sleep. The old woman didn't talk.
“…… Mother, are you still thinking about entering Beijing? We are all people with hands and feet, as long as we are diligent, are we afraid that we will not have anything to eat? I heard that there are yarn factories, cloth factories, and clothing ......factories in the capital that specialize in recruiting female workers to do things, mother, don't be afraid, don't you be afraid, Lord Zhang, didn't they say it very clearly...... "The young daughter-in-law is full of expectations for the new life and the future."
“…… I hope so......" The old woman said, but there was a lot of annoyance in her eyes.
"Auntie, you have entered Beijing, what are you going to do? We will farm, only one strength, go to the capital, can't farm, I'm afraid that we can only rely on strength to make a living......" A young man in the same car with the old woman also woke up, and when he heard the old woman's family talking, he also interjected. To tell the truth, this car shook so much that the adults slept with one eye open, and they didn't sleep to death, but the children, leaning on the adults, slept very dead. This young man was the child entrusted to the old woman by the old man that day.
"I've entered Beijing! ......" The old woman sighed, a little confused about the fate ahead, not knowing how to answer, and must not be accustomed to leaving their familiar place to adapt to a strange life.
"Mother, I heard that in the capital, the most wages are given to Liulizhai, it is said that as long as a family works alone, you can support a family, if you can work in Liulizhai, it will be good, if so, you and Qiuling will no longer have to work hard......" The old woman's son also slept with half an eye open, and when he heard the conversation, he also woke up. …,
"Hu'er is filial...... the old woman praised her son, but she didn't know how to speak, and the troubles in her heart seemed to be heavier.
"Brother Huzi, Liulizhai is good, but I heard that it is quite difficult to enter, and it is slightly easier than entering the new army, we want to enter the new army, enter the new army, I heard that in addition to eating and living in the new army, there is monthly money, and I will not do it in the future, and give a lot of money, if we can have this money, we will become a little rich man, let's take my father and mother to live in the capital, and open my eyes well...... "This is a teenager, that is, the old man in the mouth of the old man, and he is still very young. The words are full of hope and ideals.
The young man's words aroused more people's minds, the capital to the Great Ryukyu, it is said that there are thousands of miles away, but I am afraid that it is impossible to meet in this life......
"The third child! Although it is difficult to enter the new army, but our men in northern Shaanxi, a tall man, and not afraid of death, is a good material for a first-class soldier, with your body, it is estimated that it is not difficult to enter the new army, as long as you are ruthless, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of death, it should not be difficult to enter the new army, now the emperor is fighting with the Tartars, I am afraid that I have to call the new army again, you just ......, there will be a future in the future......" The son of the old woman's family encouraged the young man.
"Alas......," the boy agreed.
"The third family! Resist the gun for the emperor, don't be afraid of death, don't lose our Chen Jiagou's face, if you carry a gun for the emperor in the future, your aunt will not recognize you, and your father and mother will not recognize you......" The old woman taught the young man seriously.
"Alas, aunt, we know, we dare to enter the new army, we have never been afraid of death, our life was given by the emperor, and if we die, we should only return it to the emperor......" The young man immediately bravely assured.
"That's good," said ...... smile on the old woman's face, as if only when she had spoken of it would the trouble leave her.
