Chapter 648: Calm, Sincere

"It's not ......, this oil residue is transported from Shaanxi, the road built by this oil residue is easy to walk, we have also walked through it not once or twice, it is smooth, like satin, and a little soft, but it is not as bumpy as this dirt road" Speaking of this issue, the person who has been wanting to speak, but has not had the opportunity to speak, finally found a chance to interject, and the conversation box opened all of a sudden.

"Yes, yes, yes, Childe! Go more than ten miles, you can get on the oil residue road, but it is much easier to walk than this road, this car to the top, are much brisker, all say that the drag of 800 catties can drag a thousand catties...... "The people next to him have long wanted to talk to this "big man", and when he saw that someone interjected successfully, he also followed. It's also a rare encounter to be able to talk to big people, and you can brag to people when you look back, but you can't meet "big people" every time you get in the car.

The people in this carriage began to talk to Lu Xiangsheng again.

Lu Xiangsheng's little servant saw that everyone was talking to his master, and he didn't like it even more, but his master was willing, and he had no choice but to pretend not to see it, and occasionally rolled his eyes to show his existence.

Lu Xiangsheng was also happy that everyone was willing to talk to him, and he could understand what he wanted to know in more detail.

The carriage was still jolting and rocking forward.

In a short time, the carriage was on the grease road, which had been repaired.

Sure enough, the oil residue road was as smooth as Lu Xiangsheng had heard. The car Fang Buddha walked on the mat in general, and even had some soft feeling, which was naturally different from the bumps and shaking just now. The carriage was also much lighter and moved much faster.

After sitting for a while, Lu Xiangsheng felt more and more magical, and became more and more curious, although this kind of oil residue road is ridiculously expensive, it has to be said that it is very comfortable.

After sitting for a while, feeling the difference of this oil residue road for a while, Lu Xiangsheng decided to get out of the car, he felt that it was necessary to see with his own eyes what this road was made of.

"Coachman, coachman, stop quickly, this ......" Lu Xiangsheng decided to get out of the car, immediately knocked on the carriage, and shouted, I wanted to call the official, but suddenly woke up and didn't say it.

The people in the carriage all looked at this "big man" of Dongqing, and didn't know why he wanted to get off here?

Lu Xiangsheng's little servant saw that his master was finally about to get off the car, and he didn't have to endure the bad smell here, as if relieved, he hurriedly beckoned his master to sit down, and then shouted in a louder voice and beat the carriage with greater strength.

The car finally stopped, Lu Xiangsheng said goodbye to everyone again, and in the reluctant eyes of everyone, the carriage started, leaving Lu Xiangsheng on the road.

Seeing the carriage go away, Lu Xiangsheng's eyes returned to the road on which he was stepping, and he felt very different, excited, happy, and puzzled, and even more moved. Although it was already autumn, the sun was still shining on the road.

Lu Xiangsheng stepped on the road with his feet seriously, raised his feet, looked at the soles of his feet, and then walked to the dirt road on the side and stepped on it again, and then looked at the soles of his feet. Lu Xiangsheng nodded, thinking it was very interesting.

"Shaozu, bring water." Lu Xiangsheng said happily, after seeing this kind of road without mud, Lu Xiangsheng decided to personally test whether this road is not afraid of water, although according to normal thinking, it should not be afraid of water, but Lu Xiangsheng still decided to test it himself, not to confirm it personally, this always seems to be a shortcoming.

"Do you want to drink water?" Lu Xiangsheng's little servant hurriedly handed the bamboo kettle on his back to his master, this thing was specially prepared by Lu Xiangsheng, originally, there was no need to bring an extra kettle.

Lu Xiangsheng took the bamboo kettle, did not drink it, but poured the water on the oil road, and after getting some water, Lu Xiangsheng handed the bamboo kettle to his little servant. The little guy took the kettle and looked at his master.

Lu Xiangsheng watched the water flow around, and thought it was very interesting, if it was a mud road, he was afraid that the water would have already soaked into the mud and would not flow around like this.

"Interesting!" Lu Xiangsheng said a word, and then, with his shoes, stepped on these water-splashing roads, stepped on them a few times, and then raised his feet to look at the soles of his feet, the soles of his feet had just been stained with some mud because of the mud, because of the water, turned into mud, but not much, a few more steps, the soles of the feet have been clean.

"It's really interesting," Lu Xiangsheng laughed. After saying that, he ran to the side of the road and picked up a stone, ran to the water-sprinkled oil road, and smashed it. ,

smashed a few times, but a few small points, this oil road is still an oil road, and the mud road is completely two concepts, if the water is sprinkled on the mud road, immediately will not be sucked dry by the mud, it is impossible to flow around.

"This is really interesting, I don't know where Your Majesty got such a magical East Nose, it is really magical, although it is a bit extravagant to build a road with this thing, but I have to say that it is the only material for building a road, I didn't expect that there is such a magical thing in the world" Lu Xiangsheng tested it himself, believed what he saw, and began to draw conclusions about this matter.

When the "master" saw the old man talking, he wanted to talk, but he didn't know how to talk, and when he said the master, he couldn't continue.

"Water!" Lu Xiangsheng seemed to remember something, and said again.

"Here, old..." the little guy hurriedly handed the water to Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng took the bamboo kettle and walked to the edge of the oil road, the roadbed is made of soil, and the edge of the oil road is still soil.

Lu Xiangsheng poured all the water in the bamboo tube on the muddy floor.

After pouring the water, the water did not flow much in all directions, and it was basically immersed in the soil, although the road was also compacted, but it was not an oil road, and it was impossible not to be afraid of water.

Lu Xiangsheng saw that the water was immersed in the soil, and stepped on the sprinkled soil with his feet, this time, things did not surprise him, the mud saw the water, and immediately turned into mud, Lu Xiangsheng stepped on it, and the soles of his feet were immediately stained with a layer of mud. Lu Xiangsheng raised his feet and looked at it, frowning.

If you step on it again, there will be more mud on your feet.

Looking at the mud on his feet, Lu Xiangsheng frowned, and officially came to his conclusion, these two roads are indeed worlds apart, of course, the cost is also worlds apart, although the cost is expensive, if it can be used for many years, it is more cost-effective to spread it evenly every year, after all, it is a good thing to be able to walk a good road and pull more things, this is the conclusion that Lu Xiangsheng came to the conclusion.

Lu Xiangsheng seemed to be thinking about something, looked at the far west and was silent, and then looked at the far south. Lu Xiangsheng felt as if he had figured out something. This kind of oil residue road, is indeed a rare good thing, although the cost is high, but I have to say, it is also a good road to prevent rain, this kind of road, basically not afraid of water, not afraid of crushing, this kind of road, in fact, the south is more needed, Lu Xiangsheng himself is also a southerner, knowing that the south is rainy, often for months yīn rain continuously, after the road is soaked by rain, the carriage will be crushed, it will be potholes, full of mud, extremely difficult to walk.

If this kind of road can be built in the south, it will undoubtedly be a great thing, Lu Xiangsheng felt that the emperor Huā spent so much effort to do this, I am afraid that it is not just to settle the victims. If the South can accept this kind of road in the future, then there is no doubt that the demand for this oil residue will be great, although it is very expensive, but it does not mean that it is a bad thing. How many people will it take to get it out of Shaanxi? How many people can be accommodated to build a section of road in the south? According to this calculation, the emperor's business is really cost-effective, and he does not ask how much to repair in the south every year, as long as he can build a section of this oil residue road every year, he will naturally be able to feed a lot of people, especially the people who feed that place in Shaanxi, it is not a simple matter, the south is rich, and the construction is refined, and it is not necessarily not interested in this kind of road.

Lu Xiangsheng seemed to have figured out something, he laughed slightly, and another doubt in his heart was solved. Looking at the road that stretched into the distance, Lu Xiangsheng walked up with great interest.

"Master, master, why don't we hire a car?" The little guy saw that his master was walking in the direction of the capital, and hurriedly chased after him, shouting while chasing, there is still a long way to go from the capital, do you really want to go over?

"No need, Shaozu! It is said that reading 10,000 books and traveling 10,000 miles, it is really right, today, let's walk into Beijing, look at this day, we can still enter Beijing before closing the city gate. ”

Lu Xiangsheng had a lot of experience this time, and couldn't help but educate his little guy, and he was also interested in completing this oil road.

"Ahh Master, let's go" The little guy said with a bitter face, the master wants to go, he can only follow, the car is not to do it, just now he was thinking that he was finally away from the group of bitter haha, now it seems that the carriage with a taste is really a good place. ,

At the same time, there was also a person who was busy entering Beijing, and he was also summoned by the emperor, and he was Hong Chengchou.

As an official in Shaanxi, it is natural to avoid the ubiquitous imperial forces, and it is natural to lean on the imperial party, otherwise, it is almost impossible to make a difference. Hong Chengchou, who has always wanted to make a difference, also hopes that what he does can be accepted by the imperial party and supported by the imperial party, so after hearing that the emperor wants to vigorously promote sweet potatoes, he immediately took over the burden, although this matter seems to be difficult, but in fact, in Shaanxi, the power of the imperial party is everywhere, as long as the imperial party supports, he is not difficult to do, so, although it is a little hard to do things, but the results are also natural, now, he is also considered the imperial party, at least half of the imperial party, or the periphery of the imperial party.

After receiving the emperor's holy decree, he quickly handed over the official duties, and rushed to the capital with the servants of the family, leaning on the imperial party, which was not wrong.

Similarly, this road into Beijing, there are also countless people flowing, vehicles to and fro, is one after another, from Shaanxi to transport oil, oil residue, special products to the direction of the capital, and to transport grain, cloth and other materials back, this official road, is also extremely busy.

There is a convoy in front, a convoy composed of several carriages, it seems that it is not transporting oil, but also transporting oil residue, because the weather is dry, and this official road is crushed by carriages day and night, so it is needless to say that this dust is naturally needless to say.

Hong Chengchou looked at the convoy in front of him with some disgust, and he had to eat ashes again. However, he did not show anything, and took the servants of the house, rode on horseback, and prepared to silently overtake the convoy.

"Poof......

"Phew......"

Hong Chengchou's horse team, after approaching the carriage convoy, still made a mess of the dust, the horse in front of the car was crushed, the dust was naturally many, the wind blew slightly, and it was difficult for the people who followed behind not to eat the ashes.

"The carriage in front of you stops......,........."

"The carriage in front of me stops, let my family pass and you can go again"

One of Hong Chengchou's family members watched his old man eat ashes, and hurriedly shouted in front. It's so big that it's choking adults.

There seemed to be no response, and the convoy was still walking.

"Alas, the carriage ahead of you, what is it called you? Do you hear me, let you stop..."The housekeeper was a little annoyed when he saw that no one was paying attention to him, and shouted even louder to the front, and after speaking, he patted his horse forward.

Hong Chengchou wanted to open his mouth to stop the family, but he was blinded by the dust, and his mouth was a mouthful of sand, and he still didn't call out.

The wagon convoy finally stopped. The carriage convoy stopped, and Hong Chengchou passed like this if it was not good, he is also an imperial party now, and this convoy knows that it is an imperial party when you look at it. At this critical juncture, it's better not to bump into anyone, since you have stopped others, you are ready to ask about the situation by the way and eliminate this possible conflict. This visit to Beijing is very important, and there can be no mistakes.

A leader-looking person hurriedly came over to make amends.

"The little one has seen the adult, and the adult has collided, please forgive the adult." When the leader saw that there were family members, servants, and officials in this group of people, he knew that he was not an ordinary person, and when he saw the leader, he knew that he was an official, and immediately explained with a smile, but he didn't kowtow, just bowed.

"When you see my family, don't you kneel down and kowtow?" Someone next to him scolded.

"No need, you're in that team? Where to send something? Hong Chengchou didn't care that the person in front of him was just bowing, and he was also calm and afraid to ask.

"If you go back to the adult, the small one is the convoy of the Shaanxi oil refinery, which sends the oil residue to the capital for road construction." The leader still replied with a smile, still neither humble nor arrogant, although someone told him to kneel, but he didn't take it too seriously, with his identity, he was not afraid of ordinary officials, and his backstage was hard.

"Oh, it's a car from the Shaanxi Oil Refinery! No wonder there is such momentum, speaking of which, it is also his own family, and the official is Hong Chengchou, who participated in politics in Shaanxi. Hong Chengchou didn't have any official authority, and talked to this inconspicuous team leader.

"It turned out to be Lord Hong, and the villain Zhang Youzhi kowtowed to the adult." This team leader hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, he is now considered a person with "identity", but he is not a random official who will kowtow to others, I heard that he is participating in politics, this is kowtowing, and participating in politics is also a high-ranking official from the third grade, definitely not a seven-grade, eight-nine-grade official can be compared, and when he meets an ordinary official, he also bows. ,

"No need to be polite, please get up." Hong Chengchou said with a good temper.

"Thank you, sir." The leader of the convoy just got up, and heard this big official say that he was from his own family, and he was also curious, and looked at this person, I heard that it was from Shaanxi, and probably understood that Shaanxi's is basically the sphere of influence of the imperial party now, and it is not uncommon to have a family member, and the lord of his family is also the imperial party.

"Zhang Youzhi?" Hong Chengchou asked, not sure if this person was called that.

"The villain is here." The leader of the convoy hurriedly agreed.

"The official stopped your convoy because he was also curious, and he wanted to ask to solve the doubts in the officer's heart........." Hong Chengchou said.

"The adults just ask, and the little ones know everything...... said the leader of the team.

"How much can this car hold? And what is it loaded? Hong Chengchou asked.

"Back to the adult, these cars of the villain are all oil residue, and they are all sent to the capital to repair roads, and one car is loaded with 1,000 catties," the leader of the team hurriedly said.

"Oh, a thousand pounds? It's a lot, but if you have to spread it all on the ground, you can't spread it far, right?

This official has always been curious, how to repair the law when used to build roads? Hong Chengchou asked.

"If you go back to the adult, this small one is not clear, but I heard that people say that not all the oil residue is used to pave the road, but mixed with stones, so the small one can be paved for a long time." The leader of the convoy hurriedly explained.

"Oh, that's it!" Hong Chengchou actually knew what was going on, but he just stopped the people, so it was not good to just go over and ask a few casual questions.

"This official has another question..."Hong Chengchou, who wanted to ask a few questions casually, suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked.

"I wonder what the adults are going to ask?" The leader of the team hurriedly asked.

“… Do you know about that lamp oil? Hong Chengchou remembered this question and hurriedly asked.

"The matter of lamp oil? What do you mean by daring to ask adults? The small one is the one who delivers oil residue, and he doesn't know much about lamp oil, and he only knows a little. The leader of the convoy said that when he saw that this was his own person from Shaanxi, he had nothing to hide, and he met "his own family" in this place close to the capital. , is also rare.

"The matter of lamp oil, it is said that it is sold quite cheaply in the capital, but is there such a thing? The official was curious about why it was sold so cheaply, and it stands to reason that the lamp oil was transported to the capital for thousands of miles. Shouldn't it be expensive? Isn't it a discounted sale? Hong Chengchou asked, this question is not a small dilemma, this time in Beijing, he also did a lot of homework.

"Oh, that's what my lord said! Our lamp oil is indeed sold cheaply, anyway, it is cheaper than vegetable oil, and other lamp oils are cheaper, as for the adults who say that they have to lose money, this small one does not know, and the small ones are just responsible for transporting things," said the leader of the team.

"Oh, that's it!" Hong Chengchou was a little disappointed, as he knew. Lamp oil is sold, often very cheap, if the local vegetable oil, lamp oil sells for 40 Wen, then the lamp oil from Shaanxi will be sold for 35 Wen, or even 30 Wen, 20 Wen, even according to the current 1,000 catties per car, a car down, only 20 or 30 taels of silver, planing out the profits and expenses of the intermediate retail, so thousands of miles to transport things. Really not losing money? Just to say hello to the people? Hong Chengchou has never understood this account, maybe there is another mystery in the matter.

After stopping the convoy and saying a few words, Hong Chengchou still ran towards the capital with his servants and servants.

Forbidden city.

Yang Reform is still dealing with things, correcting the script, and life is gradually fixed, with nothing new.

"Companion, how are the officers and soldiers who are going to be placed trained now?" Yang Reform began to follow up on this matter, and has been busy with Zhang Xianyong and Confucianism recently, and has no energy to care about these, but now that Zhang Xianyong and Confucianism are gradually on the right track, he doesn't need too much attention, and he can free up energy to do something else.

"Back to Your Majesty, I'm already training. It's all concentrated, how the new army in general. ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly agreed, the emperor hasn't paid attention to this matter for a long time, but he still pays attention to it often, and the things that the emperor has explained can't be sloppy.

"Oh, how far has it been?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Back to Your Majesty, now I am mainly learning etiquette, and I am also familiar with government affairs, by the way, I am familiar with arithmetic, and I am familiar with bank-related things, such as how to exchange money in the bank or something." Wang Chengen replied. ,

"Oh, that's it!" Yang Reform said, as for teaching etiquette, Yang Reform doesn't expect them to learn how well they learn, and what kind of gentleman they learn, but just want them to learn not to be rude casually, and if they can do this, Yang Reform will be satisfied, as for the rest, Yang Reform doesn't have too many expectations. These people will be the link of interests, and will become an investment channel to all parts of the Ming Dynasty, bringing investment channels and investment hopes for the local and even the countryside, and urging the entire Ming Dynasty to expand outward.

Although Yang Reform also knows that it is better for the military to be pure, not to involve politics, and not to meddle in the economy, but this is not the kind of modern country in later generations, here is the Ming Dynasty, it is the first half of the seventeenth century, expansion, colonization, and obtaining profits is the theme, and the military can also be understood and tolerated, not to mention the retired soldiers, who have cultivated and maintained the combat strength of the army in ancient times, and now it is just a change of way, as for the practice of being different from the modern countries of later generations, this, Yang Reform can only conform to the general flow of history for the time being, It is impossible to learn from the practices of modern countries.

"That's it, add some more courses to them, they will all have to deal with the three religions and nine streams in the future, they can't be too straightforward, it's better to have more eyes, now you can find some people from the three religions and nine streams to have more contact with them" After Yang Reform finished speaking, he beckoned again, Wang Chengen came over with his ear, and Yang Reform muttered a few words again.

"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen agreed with a smile.

Wang Chengen went out to do errands, and Yang Reform still dealt with the script.

When Wang Chengen came back from his errands, he saw that the emperor was still working on the notebook, and reported: "Your Majesty, Shaanxi Senator Hong Chengchou and Datong Prefect Lu Xiangsheng have arrived, but Your Majesty wants to see you?" Wang Chengen reported that these two people were wanted to see by the emperor, and they were going to meet together, and both of them arrived, and Wang Chengen hurriedly arranged them.

"Oh, has it arrived?" Yang Gengai put down his pen and asked, these two people can be regarded as the people of the year in the late Ming Dynasty, they have performed well, and these two people have arrived. Another headache for Yang Reform is here again, there will be a war in the future, and it will be a big fight, so it must be supplemented with a group of civil officials who can fight, and the literati who can fight the war, count it out, at present, these two people can be used, and it is almost inevitable to use them, but the problem also comes, Lu Xiangsheng naturally has no problem, but Hong Chengchou is this guy, but he took refuge in the Qing Dynasty and became the founding minister of the Qing Dynasty, whether to use Hong Chengchou or not, it is a problem, no, there are not many talents in this person, especially among the literati who can fight even less, is it useful, This "history" is not good, although Yang Reform also knows that Hong Chengchou is a last resort to defect to the Qing Dynasty, and he has his own support for him, with Hong Chengchou's ability, it is unlikely that he will be forced to go to the Qing Dynasty, but there is always a mustard in his heart, and Yang Reform is afraid that history will repeat. For fear of an accident, Hong Chengchou fell to the side of the Qing Dynasty, which is a big joke, not to mention that now Hong Chengchou seems to have also taken refuge in the imperial party, and he can be regarded as a member of the imperial party, and he has made achievements, and it is impossible for Yang Reform to turn a blind eye.

“… See, see you on the platform, in addition, Master Sun is also on the platform, please see Master Sun first, talk to them, check for me, and I will go again. Yang Reform thought about it, or decided to see, or let Sun Chengzong check first, although Yang Reform is a little "afraid" of history, but also believed,

With his current ability and strength, he will not be more unlucky than that Chongzhen in history, there is no reason to lose to Houjin again, and he also gave Hong Chengchou to Houjin, if you want that, it is really unreasonable.

"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen agreed.

Platform.

When Yang Reform arrived, Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng had already arrived, and they seemed to have talked with Sun Chengzong for a while.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" Someone sang. The people on the platform immediately stood upright and stopped what they were doing.

When the emperor came in, he immediately saluted, and when the salute was over, everyone resumed, and continued to do what should be done.

Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng entered the platform for the first time, and they didn't understand the rules here, so they knelt down and saluted.

"Stop!" Yang Reform suddenly smiled and said, not letting the two of them salute. Yang Reform looked at these two people, and it was easy to distinguish who these two people were, although both of them were very young, but there was one person, who was too young, it seemed that he was a fair-skinned scholar, and he was still working hard for the test of fame, and the actual family had already achieved the prefect of the fourth grade, Yang Reform knew that this was Lu Xiangsheng, and the other one was Hong Chengchou. ,

The two of them looked at the emperor inexplicably, looking at the emperor with a smile on his face, quite kind, I don't know why, but they were also surprised by such a young emperor, and they all said that the emperor was shengming, young, but this is really too young.

"Let me guess who is who in the two Qing families." Yang Gengai said with a smile.

“… This fair-skinned, thinner one must be Lu Qing's family, and this one must be Hong Qing's family..............." Yang Gai pointed separately and recognized.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is" The two of them hurriedly admitted themselves.

"Get up, the two Qing families don't have to be too restrained" Yang Reform asked the two to get up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." Only then did the two men get up.

Yang Reform walked to the edge of the big sand table, and Sun Chengzong followed by his side. Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng were very cautious and restrained because they came for the first time, and they were cautious for fear of breaking any rules.

"The two Qing family came forward," Yang said to the two, instructing the two of them to stand on either side of the sand table.

The two Mu people glanced at each other, and automatically stood up according to the emperor's instructions.

"The two Qing families rushed to the capital in the dust, and they were fortunate." Yang Gengai said with a smile.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is not hard, it is an honor for the minister to be summoned by His Majesty." The two of them hurriedly humbled themselves.

"Do you know from the two Qing families, why did I summon the two Qing families on the platform?" Yang Gengai asked with a smile.

Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng are both a little puzzled, this platform summons, to say that in the past, it was a great honor, and Wenchen can come, but now, this platform has gradually become a place in charge of the military, and everything that is dealt with here is military, and Wenchen's summons are generally not here, and the emperor first saw them on the platform, could it be that it is related to the military?

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know." The two of them hurriedly said again, although they guessed some, but they were not sure.

"Let's take a look at the two Qing families, here is the topographic map of my Daming border pass, here is the Jingshi, here is the side wall, here is Liaodong, this is Méng Gu, I want to test the two Qing families, how should I deal with the form outside the gate?" Yang Gengai asked with a smile.

Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng looked at each other, thought a lot, and prepared a lot, but they didn't expect that the emperor would ask them directly about military matters, which they were not familiar with, and they had basically never been in contact.

When Yang Gai said this, he didn't say anything anymore, but looked at them with a smile.

Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng faced the pressure of the emperor's smile, and they could only use their brains to think about problems.

"Back to Your Majesty. The minister thinks that he should continue to unite with Lin Dan Khan, continue to besiege the Dongyu, and let the Dongyu continue to fail, and when my Ming has enough strength, he can break the Dongyu in one fell swoop and completely solve the great trouble of our dynasty" Hong Chengchou said first, his official rank is higher, and he should say it first.

"Oh, really?" Yang Reform is still smiling, noncommittal, this statement can only be said to be decent, basic common sense, and the strategy of propaganda for the imperial court today is this.

"What about Lu Qing's family?" Yang asked again.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we should continue to unite with Lin Dan Khan to suppress the Dongyu, but because we should also guard against Lin Dan Khan, when we break the Dongyu, we should also guard against Lin Dan Khan from causing trouble and weakening Lin Dan Khan, which is also beneficial to our dynasty." Lu Xiangsheng added a guard against Lin Dan Khan on the basis of Hong Chengchou.

Yang Reform is still smiling, and he is noncommittal, this is also basic common sense, there is nothing to comment on, as long as he does not say anything outrageous, such as what soldiers arrive, what ashes and ashes are annihilated, Yang Reform is considered to be qualified.

"Hehehe, both of you have a point." Yang Gai looked at the two of them for a while, and then gave an evaluation.

"Where is Hong Qing's family from?" Yang began to reform and turned to the usual thing.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is from Nan'an County, Quanzhou, Fujian" Hong Chengchou began to explain his information.

After asking for a while, Yang Reform asked the information he already knew again, although it was a formality and a waste of time, it was also necessary, especially for the people who were about to be reused, and the relationship should be brought closer.

"Where is Lu Qing's family?" Yang Reform turned to ask Lu Xiangji.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is from Yixing, Changzhou." Lu Xiangsheng replied.

"Yixing? But that Yixing on the edge of Taihu Lake? That's a great place! "Yang Reform said a lot.

After chatting for a while, Yang Gai turned to business. ,

"Do you know why I summoned the two Qing families separately?" Yang Gai said a long list of homely things, and finally got down to business.

The two of them glanced at each other again, they can stand out and be valued by the emperor, isn't it just a matter of growing sweet potatoes? One is to rely on its own strength to promote the success of sweet potatoes, and the other is to rely on the power of the imperial party to promote success. If you go a little deeper, it means that the emperor intends to use them as an example to promote national policy, otherwise, the emperor will deliberately summon a four-grade and a third-grade into the palace? This is something that everyone understands, but they are not easy to say, besides, planting sweet potatoes and getting promoted to an official is not so decent.

"You are down-to-earth, able to do things, and dare to do things, this is what I value you, and it is also what you are valuable" Yang Gai said again without waiting for the two to answer.

"Your Majesty Xie praised, but I didn't dare to be ashamed." The two of them hurriedly humbled again.

"Hehehehe can do things, I should be reused" Yang Reform suddenly said this, before this was put in, Yang Reform still had to operate, now, it is not so troublesome, what people to arrange, that is to say, although there are also courtiers' constraints, but the ability to restrain is already very small. In fact, Yang Reform usually does not change the promotion of officials at will, usually mainly rely on the Ministry of Officials in the operation of personnel matters, especially the middle and low-level officials, Yang Reform is basically "respect for history" At this point, Yang Reform is very much appreciated and approved by many ministers, after all, not that emperor is as good at talking as this emperor, has such a high prestige and does not arbitrarily meddle in the right of the cabinet, it is already very rare, of course, Yang Reform himself does not have so much energy to manage so many things, There is no need to expand the imperial party at will. Of course, if it is a top high-ranking official in the imperial court, this is still a reservation of the emperor, and the officials can also provide candidates, and the cabinet ministers can also provide an opinion, who to use, or the emperor has the final say.

The two of them listened to the emperor's words, and they were both small jī moves, and they were really going to be reused.

"The minister swears allegiance to His Majesty......" the two men hurriedly said.

After talking for a while, Yang Reform let the two of them go.

After the two left, Yang Reform asked Sun Chengzong how he felt about these two people, and Yang Reform deliberately asked Sun Chengzong to check for him first.

"Master Sun, how are these two people? What is Master Sun's opinion? Yang asked directly.
