Chapter 151: The City Division
Yang reformed in tears and found that his silver was not enough, and this was only 20,000 elite new troops, which cost more than 2 million taels, and he had to raise a soldier with 100 taels every year, which was expensive enough. Fortunately, it is not a surname to invest two million taels at one time, otherwise, Yang Reform will be used as pants. Yang Gengai found that he had to hurry up and get money, otherwise, in a few days, his internal money would bottom out, and this year's budget, if calculated a little, would be overspent by more than 100 percent.
The future is beautiful, the reality is cruel, Yang Reform pinched his fingers and counted how much money he had in his inner money, this emperor deserved, tragic, miserable, miserable. There has never been an emperor who needs money more urgently than himself.
This emperor is not called in vain!
Yang Reform was basking in the sun in the Forbidden City, and found that no matter how he sunned, his body didn't seem to be warm, this has no money, it's the same as not wearing clothes on his body, rich people are guts, clothes are human hair, no money, no confidence!
Wang Chengen found that the emperor was obviously wandering around in this palace, and reminded him: "Your Majesty, where are you going now?" ”
"Where is this?" Yang Reform, who was wandering around and disoriented, asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, this place is close to the Xuanwu Gate, to the north of the palace." Wang Chengen replied.
"Xuanwu Gate? North? …… Then let's go to the inner study hall to have a look, I haven't been there for a while. Yang Gai casually reported a place. This eunuch class has to worry about itself, this Mao Wenlong has already sent a letter to urge again, asking when the person who manages the border pass and is responsible for the entry and exit of materials will arrive, and there is no reliable person around Yang Reform to do this, and he is worried.
Yang Reform also does not know what the Ming Dynasty management of the customs is called, to turn over the Ming Dynasty court information, files, Yang Reform does not have the "confidence" and "endurance", think twice, or ask their housekeeper, the great commander of the inner court, according to the "inner court" of the cow B degree, there should be a corresponding organization, otherwise, it is not called the "inner court".
"Otomo, in this inner court, is there any yamen that manages overseas trade?" Yang Reform is just a stroke of luck.
"Back to the emperor, the emperor asked the admiral eunuch of this city?" Wang Chengen, as the boss of the ceremonial supervisor and the head of the inner court, is very clear about what is within his rights, and as soon as the emperor asked, he immediately answered.
Haha, sure enough, there is a door, my inner court is really very good, and there is such a thing as the admiral eunuch of the city ship, Yang Reform is secretly happy, what is this city ship department for, Yang Reform has read countless novels, and naturally knows what it is for, that is, the ancient customs, which manage overseas trade. It's good to be the emperor, this inner court, it's a cow, and you don't have to bother with the customs, you can directly engage in the city ship, and the one who manages the city is the admiral eunuch, and it's better, just go to the eunuch to manage the customs. No need to ramble with the ministers.
"Well, yes, tell me about the situation of this city, how many cities do I have now? Who manages it and how it works. Yang reformed the "hungry and thirsty" hope that Wang Chengen would give himself a science popularization of the situation of the city's shippers to see if his plan would work.
"Back to Your Majesty, now, my dynasty is using the Minister of the City Governor of the City Division, and the post of the Governor of the City Governor and Eunuch is established, originally, the Outer Dynasty also has the City Governor of the Consulate, but since the Outer Dynasty has the promotion of the City Ship Division, the Inner Court will inevitably send this Governor and Eunuch, otherwise, this Inner Court is not called in vain, this Inner Court, that is, the slaves and maids take care of the house for the emperor, all for the emperor to look around, so that no one can deceive the emperor......" Wang Chengen with a trace of pride to Yang Reform to show his merits.
Yang Reform praised in his heart, this person who set up the inner court is not an ordinary cow, the institution is set up so comprehensively, anything in the country, this emperor Yanjing has to take a kick and send eunuchs to watch, no wonder, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty can not go to court for decades, he can be a carpenter at home every day, it turns out that there are also eunuchs for the emperor to see, Yang should give a new understanding of the history of the Ming Dynasty. What is said that the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty is capable and very advanced, and now in the eyes of Yang Reform, it is better to say that the establishment of this inner court is very successful, very bullish, and the bureaucrats are easy to deceive the emperor, but the eunuchs are not vegetarians.
"Not bad, not bad." Yang Gai's heart is very beautiful. Secretly thinking about it, this eunuch is also greedy for money, and he has to be on guard, this eunuch training class is to guard against this, a large number of eunuch reserves, can make those eunuchs at the front desk take care of it, you can't do it well, you don't want to do it, there is a large group of people waiting to replace you behind.
“…… Your Majesty, there are three divisions in the city, and now, there is only one left, ...... Guangdong City, but your majesty wants to restore the other two divisions? Wang Chengen was happy to see the emperor, and he talked endlessly about the situation of the city.
"Hehe, no, I'm going to set up a new city department to manage this import and export for me, by the way, big companion, the inner court can have the relevant information of the city department, and I'm going to train some little eunuchs to do things for me." Yang Reform thinks it is very beautiful, this customs, you can bypass the courtiers and get on the horse directly, there is no need to talk to the courtiers, there is nothing better than this.
"Back to Your Majesty, yes, every year the business status of the city will be written into a copy, rolled up, and sealed in the history museum for inquiry at any time."
"Good." Yang Reform nodded, this can completely train eunuchs to open customs. Today, I am going to do this, Yang is full of confidence in reform, this Mao Wenlong can send someone there soon, and the establishment of the national customs can be waited.
The inner study hall arrived quickly.
The eunuchs who came out to greet this time, the little eunuchs, a lot of them, far more than last time. A real piece of black pressing.
Zhang De'an, the eunuch in charge of the inner study hall, led the kneeling there, and when he saw the emperor coming, he trotted again and ran to the emperor.
"Slave maid Zhang De'an knocks to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live." After leading everyone to kneel once, when Zhang De'an came to serve the emperor, he kowtowed again.
"Get up, get up, Zhang De'an, there are a lot of people here! I am afraid that there are more than 1,000 people. Yang Gengai estimated a little and found that there were people everywhere inside and outside the wall.
"Your Majesty, go back to Your Majesty, there are already more than 1,500 slaves and maids here, and the slaves and maids have the will of Your Majesty to recruit as many little eunuchs as possible, so let go of their courage and recruit as many people as possible." Zhang Dean explained to the emperor with a smile.
"Well, good job, this momentum, to keep it up, the eunuchs in the palace, it's better to go into the inner study hall to study." Yang Gai can't wait to immediately train 100,000 eunuchs with knowledge, culture, ideals, and morality, so that he will have people to do anything.
Zhang Dean was embarrassed and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes." "I thought, this emperor is crazy enough, all the eunuchs come to study in the inner study hall, this is too terrifying, so who will serve the emperor's harem?
"Your Majesty, there are so many people, I'm afraid the building is not enough! The slaves and maids recruited more than 1,000 people, and the building was really unstuffed, and the consumption of books, paper, pen and ink was also amazing...... "Zhang De'an poured bitter water again.
"The school building is not simple enough, so why not ask for some other places to vacate some? This palace is huge. This book paper, since it consumes a lot, then save a little and use a hard pen to write small characters, it is too wasteful to use a brush. I'll figure it out. By the way, when it comes to books, I ask you, but now you are going according to my instructions and using the Jinshi curriculum instead? ”
Zhang De'an immediately replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the slaves and maids have definitely changed to the curriculum of the Jinshi according to Your Majesty's requirements, including, Chinese, mathematics, astronomy, geography, agriculture, ......."
"Very good, this, you have to do this, my eunuchs can't lose to the Jinshi outside! What the Jinshi can do, you must also do, and what the Jinshi can't do, you must also be able to do, so that there will be light on my face, understand? ”
Zhang Dean nodded again and again.
The battle between the eunuch and the civil official is not a day or two, everyone fights to the death, in the previous battle, Wei Zhongxian led the eunuch legion PK civilian corps, and as a result, the civilian corps was almost wiped out, and the corpse was guarded and beaten to a mess, but this time, the emperor added a buff to the civilian legion and a negative buff to the eunuch legion, as a result, the boss of the eunuchs, Wei Zhongxian, was killed by a few hits, and the eunuch legion faced the treatment of group annihilation.
Yang Reform visited the inner study hall for a while, and found that in this inner study hall, it was indeed taught according to the courses he said, and in a "classroom", Yang Reform also saw a wooden triangle board and a wooden ruler.
"This is the wooden ruler. Not bad. Yang Gengai picked up the wooden ruler, looked at it, and found that this thing was almost no different from the teacher used when he was in elementary school.
I picked up the triangle board again and looked at it, this thing should be called a right-angled triangle board, the best physical embodiment of the three-strand, four-string and five theorem, and the teacher used it when teaching in later generations, it is no different. However, look at the back, there is no blackboard, no pen.
Zhang De'an said that this consumes paper, pen and ink, it seems that this chalk, the blackboard, is going to appear in advance, Yang Reform decided to have time, get this blackboard and chalk out.
"Back to Your Majesty, this thing is a right-angled triangle, you can draw a straight line, use the triangle to draw a right angle on the straight line, and then use a right angle to draw two parallel lines that will never intersect......" Zhang De'an is a "scholar" style, explaining this "esoteric" mathematical knowledge to the emperor. In order to please the emperor, Zhang Dean specially "self-taught" these courses, and learned the mathematics in them in a good way, and began to play "knowledgeable" for the emperor.
Right angles, parallel lines? Yang Gengai looked at this eunuch with a strange gaze, I damn it, the eunuch is also math, and he said to himself right angles, parallel lines, and he was not lightened.
Yang Gengai stared at Zhang De'an with a strange gaze, and said, "Zhang De'an, I don't see that you still have a lot of research on this mathematics!" It's a talent! ”
"Your Majesty has won the prize, Your Majesty has won the prize. In order to run this inner study hall for His Majesty, the slave maid specially studied the various courses in it, and dabbled a little more in this mathematics, which made His Majesty smile...... "Zhang De'an won the emperor's praise, and his heart was secretly refreshed, and he couldn't help but be humble.
Why does Zhang De'an have to study hard, I'm afraid Yang Reform will never know, because this inner study hall was originally a popular place, and now with the emperor's attention, there will be tens of thousands of eunuchs coming in to study, so, it has become hot, I don't know how many people have gone to the door, hoping to seek the position of the eunuch in charge of the inner study hall, Zhang De'an said that the night was uneasy, thinking of a way to keep his position, and found that he wanted to keep his position, in addition to playing a good job of Wang Chengen, the head of the inner court, that is to win the emperor's favor, This can make this son sit more stable, and if he wants to win the emperor's favor, he naturally has to be anxious about what the emperor is anxious about, and think about what the emperor thinks, what is the emperor most anxious about? What do you want most? Naturally, it is this new course, so Zhang De'an has put a lot of effort into studying these new courses, which are "particularly prominent" in mathematics.
"Yes, yes, as the ancients said, live to be old, learn to be old, Zhang De'an, I hope you will maintain this momentum, don't let me down, and teach these students to me well." Yang Reform praised this eunuch who knew mathematics fiercely, and this incident really surprised Yang Reform.
"The slave and the maid obey the order, and the slave and the maid will not disappoint Your Majesty." Zhang De'an happily assured the emperor that he would do a good job, and he bet on the right chips, and the emperor was really satisfied with himself.
"Zhang De'an, I came today because I have something to arrange for you." Yang Gengai remembered the purpose of coming today.
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what do you want the slave and maid to serve, Your Majesty just commands, and the slave and maid will definitely handle him properly."
"After a while, I am going to hold an exam in the inner study hall, from among these students, select a group of people to form a new city division, the exam topics are not only these new courses I have set up, but also some things about the city division, I hope you organize the students to study hard and get good results."
"Exams? Reopening the market? Exam for a new course, plus the content of the city? Zhang Dean was shocked when he heard this, the position of the manager of the inner study hall is too hot, and it is remembered by many people, and it is not without reason, this major event of reopening the market is handed over to the inner study hall for the examination, the seat of the inner study hall, I am afraid that it will ......, Zhang De'an is determined to work harder.
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, when will this exam be held, in addition, the slave maid does not have the documents and files of the city secretary here, this is ......"
"This, the big companion will send someone to send you the paperwork, archives and so on, and you can organize the students to study hard. The specific exam time will be notified by me. Yang Gai knew that this new course had not been opened for a few days, and the materials of the city's shipping department had not yet been sent, so it was impossible to take the exam in a hurry.
"The slave obeys." Zhang De'an respectfully replied to the emperor's words, and almost died of envy to the emperor for calling Wang Chengen "big companion".
After Yang Reform finished speaking, he looked at this triangle again, and thought of Xu Guangqi again, Xu Guangqi was sick, he had only been there once, and he had time to go and see it! The translations of these nouns were all made by Xu Guangqi, a good person in history!
