Chapter 728: A Great Harvest in a Calamity Year

Dispersed platform meetings.

Yang Gai did not return to the Qianqing Palace, but went to the Taiye Pool to cool off.

Regarding the matter of the Great Ryukyu, Yang Reform didn't want to say it now, Yang Reform originally planned to wait for the grain to arrive in the capital, so that it would have more lethality, but he had to take out the news in advance to alleviate the worries about the lack of food inside and outside the court.

After the grain matter of the Great Ryukyus came out, there were other things to be done, and it was not a simple food problem. This question is the question of the elevation of the Great Ryukyus. When immigration, it was not so detailed, the immigration officers were given the treatment of seven-grade officials, and the specifications were at most at the county level, and now the Great Ryukyu can not only resettle the displaced people, but also produce grain, and this time the grain transported out has 300,000 stones. If it is a tax of 300,000 stones, this is already a tax paid by a high-class government, that is to say, today's Great Ryukyu can be promoted to the level of a state capital.

With the upgrading of the Great Ryukyu, the county level became the state capital level, and the corresponding personnel were also promoted, from the seventh rank to the fifth rank, the sixth rank, and even the fourth rank to the prefect.

Yang reformed and pondered whether it would be better to be promoted to one prefecture, or two prefectures, or several states. This question actually involves the growth of the "immigrant faction" of Enke Jinshi in the first year of his accession to the throne, and everything must have his own team, and he must have his own people, and this group of "immigrant faction" who was born in the first year of his accession to the throne is undoubtedly an important team of his own, and in the days to come, he will gradually replace and occupy some important positions in the Ming Dynasty, and lay the necessary foundation for himself to completely take charge of the entire country. Instead of compromising everywhere now, with their own tough team, it will be convenient for them to promote change in the future. This group of officials who were born in Enke Jinshi have a very obvious imprint, they all relied on immigrants to "start", and they will definitely support immigration and expansion policies more in the future, which is important for their own expansion. There are benefits too.

Yang Reform pondered, this time the Great Ryukyu transported grain into Beijing. Alleviating the crisis of food shortage in the north can be regarded as a great merit, and it is time to push this vigorous political force onto the stage of history.

Yang Gengai remembered Liu Yanyuan, the previous secretary of the Ministry of War, this guy seems to be catching up with the benefits of this wave of promotions, his nine-grade inspection. This time, I don't know whether I should be promoted to the eighth grade or the seventh grade, Yang Reform wants to laugh when he thinks of Liu Yanyuan.

In addition to the "immigration faction" on the Ryukyu side to be promoted, in fact, places such as Dongting Lake will also be upgraded, and this year, food bags at Dongting Lake and other lakes have also played a big role. It also produces a lot of grain, which still plays a considerable role in alleviating the food shortage throughout the year, and if it is calculated by the taxes paid, it should not be a problem to upgrade to a state capital.

That's all it takes. At least it is not a problem to upgrade to seven or eight states, this kind of real achievement, and it is from Jinshi, and the emperor is covered with it, so it is difficult not to be promoted. With so many merits, it is not difficult to be promoted, so naturally, it is not difficult to move elsewhere to be an official. Then the subsequent "emigrant" officials rose up and then moved elsewhere to serve as officials. In a few years, this wave of Jinshi "immigrants". It is spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, and it is still the backbone. When Yang Reform thought of this, his heart was extraordinarily beautiful.

In this way, this year of the catastrophe is actually a bumper harvest year for the "emigrant faction" of his own Enke Jinshi, with reduced grain production and actual material output, but a great bumper harvest politically.

Meimei thought for a while, and Yang Reform thought about whether the promotion and promotion of the "immigrant faction" officials would be blocked, but thinking about it, it was relieved, this wave of "immigrant faction" was all from Jinshi, and they should have occupied an important position in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, and they should have been promoted very quickly. In the face of two or three hundred jinshi, in the face of the upstart who will definitely be in charge of the Ming Dynasty in the future, how kind of brain-dead person will come out to stop it? …,

After sorting out this matter, Yang Reform was not in a hurry, and he was originally worried that his right hand and right men were out of the capital, and it was a little difficult to do this by himself, but after thinking about it, Yang Reform felt that there was no difficulty, and now he was waiting for the new grain to enter Beijing, and then he was promoted. This can be regarded as a matter of having lost his right-hand man and dealing with a big matter alone. His right-hand man is also old, and he can't always rely on his right-hand man to live, and he should be more ** and more self-reliant.

……

Han Yi walked out of the Forbidden City, looked back, and was most deeply emotional, this time the new grain into Beijing, is not a trivial matter, the ups and downs of the Ming Dynasty are no longer within his reach, in addition to sighing, that is, can sigh, in the future, this Ming will be the Ming of the newcomers, and it is also the emperor's Ming.

"The general trend ......"

“…… Trend...... There are talents in the country, old, old......" Han Yi sighed for a while, and then muttered this sentence, and even sighed that it was still a wise choice to turn around.

"Ge Lao, what are you old? You are getting old and strong......" Another person next to him heard Han Yi's chatter and came up to pat himself.

“…… Now it's the world of young people, the old man's old bones, it's impossible to accept the old......" Han Yi smiled and said self-deprecatingly.

The sycophant didn't know how to take it next, looking at the situation of the elder of the pavilion, could it be that what happened in the capital?

The news of the arrival of grain from the Great Ryukyu into Beijing spread far and wide.

For the common people, maybe it's just some grain entering Beijing, more maybe it's curious, maybe it's some talking, although it has also been affected somewhat, but to say that this incident has shocked the Ming officialdom, it's really not enough.

Chen Yuting's house.

Today's Chen Yuting, as the general constitution of the Ming Dynasty, also gathers some complaining imperial histories around him.

"Lord Zongxian, Your Majesty spends a lot of money to do this and that, although it is all the money allocated by His Majesty's internal funds, but it is also the people's fat and people's ointment, and the people's fat and people's ointment, it should be spent where it should be spent, so indiscriminately squandering, it is really a waste, and it makes people feel sad......"

“…… Oh, yes! Lord Zongxian, now the East is still peaceful. His Majesty is collecting and selling the land in Liaodong, but he is in a hurry to develop Liaodong and invest a large amount of money in Liaodong......

“…… Oh, yes! Lord Chief, I have to persuade Your Majesty! The lower officials came into contact with the people in the market and found that this rural old fool. I actually dared to sit in the teahouse and talk about the rights and wrongs of the imperial court, something that even I and other court officials didn't know. They all know, Constitutional, it's time to take care of it......," another official said.

Chen Yuting sat in the middle of the living room, listening to the complaints of these officials "seriously", and he had a stomach full of complaints in his heart. Who is he? Can you manage the emperor? Fighting with the emperor, he also tried a few times, and was quickly defeated, with his own strength to fight with the emperor, it is almost impossible, the emperor is not afraid of any single minister. Not everyone dares to spit on the emperor's face, and not everyone is Zhang Juzheng, who can dominate the court, even if it is Zhang Juzheng? In the end, didn't you give the emperor a word and knock him to the ground?

Chen Yuting listened to the complaints of these officials. can only be treated as a fart and let go. In the Ming Dynasty, there was no minister who had the advantage of fighting with the emperor, and if he wanted to suppress the emperor, he had to borrow the power of everyone in the court. Even so, the person in charge did not dare to show too many traces. Otherwise, wait for the emperor to find a reason that day. Either take it away or get rid of it. A single person and the emperor did it, it will not end well, this ceremonial supervisor, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang are not vegetarians, and they annoyed the emperor, and the emperor released these vicious dogs to bite people, how was Zhang Juzheng before? It's not that the power is tilted towards the opposition, but what is the result? A few years ago, what six gentlemen and seven gentlemen of the Donglin Party, so many high-ranking officials, so many people, annoyed the emperor, didn't the emperor release the evil dog, and cleaned up all his brains? How tragic was the death? Although he is now rehabilitated, this man will never be resurrected. …,

If it is said that he wants to use the power of everyone in the court to attack the emperor now, this kind of thought, Chen Yuting can only make a haha, and let out a fart by the way, just think that this is nonsense, and the waste gas is released. In the past, this practice was not unprecedented, it has always been used, and it has always been effective, but then there was the salt merchant, and it was impossible for the court to really have the kind of thing that attacked the emperor in groups, and the bones of the ministers were discounted. The court has already been divided into several groups, the emperor firmly controls the imperial party, and controls several other groups of people from afar, and the group can't turn without the emperor's movement, and wants to get entangled to deal with and suppress the emperor, so that the emperor is obediently controlled and obedient? This is a big joke, including himself, he is a chess piece secretly controlled by the emperor, playing with the emperor in a small fight, making a fuss, the emperor feels happy, and he doesn't care about himself, he really dares to argue with the emperor on major matters, the emperor can't spare him, why should he be the general constitution?

Chen Yuting listened to these officials complaining "seriously", and felt that these people were really stupid, and they couldn't see the changes in the court, and they thought that they could unite to suppress the emperor, and everyone who thought about this kind of thing was probably dreaming. If there really is that kind of big tandem, he will have to be the first to go to the snitch.

"You all have a point...... Chen Yuting said, speaking of which, Chen Yuting's words were blocked, and he really wanted to fart. Looking for something trivial to find a thorn in the emperor, he dared, and worked against the emperor in the development of Liaodong, Chen Yuting wanted to block his ears.

“…… The fool in the countryside talks about state affairs in vain, but there is no need to make a fuss, now there is a newspaper issued in the world, conveying the decrees and laws of the imperial court, introducing the customs and customs of my Ming Dynasty, this is a good thing, I have too few people who read in the Ming Dynasty, and most of the illiterate people can read the newspaper and introduce the public opinion of the world, which is also a meritorious ...... in education," Chen Yuting said. He didn't want to talk about anything else. No matter how well he speaks at home, no matter how well he agitates, when he goes to the court, he doesn't dare to talk back to the emperor before he says a few words, and it is difficult to do what he thinks about at home......

"But, Chief, this ...... The news of the foolish man in the village is actually faster and more accurate than that of the imperial court officials such as me, and the lower officials feel strange......" The official hurriedly defended that as soon as the newspaper came out, it had already robbed them of their right to speak, and those who read the newspaper had weakened their right to speak as soon as the gossip came out.

“…… Well, it'......s just that the country man read the newspaper and made it up by himself, coaxing people, how can the words of the country village man be taken seriously? Chen Yuting said, he doesn't want to get involved in this matter, what can this be mixed with? Do you still arrest those who read the newspaper and ask if they are guilty? Can you still ask if you can't leak the forbidden Chinese? If so. Then he Chen Yuting's face will be lost.

"But, General Xian, you can't leave this matter alone......" the official said hurriedly.

"How do you manage this? People read the Di newspaper, and then bragged and chatted together, could it be that the old man would treat him for the crime of gossip? Chen Yuting said.

"Yes, sir. These people are talking about the court......" the official argued.

"The affairs of the court are written in the newspaper, since they can be published in the newspaper. And why be afraid of what others say? There is no truth that can only be seen, but cannot be said! This made the old man embarrassed...... "Chen Yuting refused.

The official was a little angry, but he didn't expect to get this answer here.

"What about the general constitution, the ...... of Liaodong," an official hurriedly asked.

Chen Yuting pondered for a long time before saying, "...... matter. If it is not for us to stop it, Your Majesty has spent a lot of effort to do this, not to mention the recovery of Liaodong, but also to resettle hundreds of thousands of victims, what do you call the old man to say about this? How? Isn't it allowed to regain Liao? Your Majesty is not allowed to provide disaster relief? ”

"Dare to ask, sir! This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what do you want this imperial history for? The official who had just asked about the newspaper stood up and asked in an uninhibited manner. …,

Chen Yuting in this living room. Immediately silenced in surprise. All the officials admired the courage of this guy, but they got in touch with Chen Yuting, Chen Yuting is the chief constitution, and he is just a seven-grade petty official.

Chen Yuting didn't get angry on the spot, and if he was able to achieve the position of the general constitution of the Ming Dynasty, he still had at least the cultivation and cultivation skills.

Chen Yuting looked around, he didn't mean to quarrel with others, what should he do. What not to do, he had already figured it out. His "predecessor", in a recent exchange with him. revealed some words, the meaning of these words is very simple, you can't fight the emperor, you can turn your eyes to the minister, the emperor is not aggressive, is the minister not aggressive? Nowadays, all kinds of super projects are one after another, and there are still cats in the world who are not greedy? Now the emperor is throwing out a huge amount of silver, according to the unspoken rules of the Ming Dynasty, how much do you have to be greedy? There are so many corrupt people in the Ming Dynasty, just catch a few, there will be no one who is wronged, this Metropolitan Procuratorate wants to "rise up", to revitalize the majesty, to become an awe-inspiring existence, there is no need to blindly find a sense of existence in the emperor, there is no need to blindly get along with the emperor, this hundred officials can't be caught?

After Chen Yuting received the meaning of "predecessor", he thought about it carefully, and felt that this did make sense, let him fight with the emperor, he was really not sure, now the emperor has already divided him into several factions, and firmly grasped it, to attack the emperor in groups, this is to laugh, can not rise up and attack the emperor, with the energy of one or several people, even if the emperor does not play a black hand, it is enough for him to drink a pot, now the emperor is very smart, but it is not so easy to bluff. If the emperor had done it, he might not even have bones. Chen Yuting is not stupid yet, what can be done and what cannot be done, he has already thought clearly.

Now it is true that as the "predecessor" said, the huge number of projects is one after another, will there be no corruption? If you want to say that the core imperial party is trustworthy, maybe there is really no corruption, but what about others? Especially Han Yi's faction, the character is not tough, and the matter taken over is a matter that consumes a lot of money, if you can't catch a few big mice, this is absolutely impossible. This is almost a catch, with his life and future as a bet, and the emperor can't get along, it's better to find trouble with Han Yi, this is the sworn enemy of their faction, and it is the revenge of the official life.

With the guidance of his "predecessor", Chen Yuting also figured it out and understood the focus of his work, so he was not so annoyed in the face of the questioning of his officials, and did not explode on the spot.

"Wait for one to raise their heads too high, and the other to lower their heads too low......," Chen Yuting said with a hint of a smile.

“…… There is only one person at the top, that is Your Majesty, I wait for the imperial history to be the eyes and ears, so we should have the consciousness of the ears and eyes, not everything has to be done according to the requirements of the ears and eyes, if so, why do you want this cabinet minister? I'll wait for the imperial history, just do what I have to do......"

“…… When you keep your eyes on the ground, can you manage the large number of ordinary people? The yamen of the local government will only say that we are nosy with rats, and if our Yushitai is really so idle, this will be eliminated a long time ago......"

Several officials who were taught by Chen Yuting turned red, they were the people whose ears and eyes only had brains as Chen Yuting said. I heard Chen Yuting say that the dog took the mouse, and then stared at the official who dared to question Chen Yuting, this is indeed a bit of a dog taking a mouse. At most, this is an errand done by the officials, and now let the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate do it, isn't this a dog taking a mouse? If you really have that spare time, you might as well have a cup of tea at home. There are so many people in the world, so many state capitals, can they manage it?

“…… We are the eyes and ears of His Majesty. What was seen, what was heard. What should be played must be played, this is the right way, it is our duty,...... For major events in the court, there is naturally Your Majesty. If there is a mistake, we should try our best to correct it, and this is also our duty, and there is nothing wrong with it......," Chen Yuting said. …,

“…… But is it just that my eyes are fixed on this? Don't have to do anything else? Impeach the minister for treachery, and the villain forms the party. As a Weifu rebel, impeachment of hundreds of officials, obscenity, greed, and bad official discipline, these don't care? Speaking of which, this is also the main responsibility of my Metropolitan Procuratorate......" Chen Yuting said slowly.

"What does the General Constitution say? Let me wait to keep my eyes on the hundred officials? "Someone came back to his senses, and just now Chen Yuting said that one looked at the sky. If you have an eye on the ground, you have an eye to the middle, does that mean an official who has his eyes on the middle?

"Yes, the reason for this can only be understood, not spoken, and the old man will not say more, and what he can understand will be more experienced by himself. If you can't understand it, don't talk nonsense outside about it......" Chen Yuting was not annoyed because someone contradicted him. Instead, he began to unify the thinking of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and change the direction of attack of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If you want to choose the right direction, the Metropolitan Procuratorate can always make glorious achievements in his tenure.

There are more clever officials who quickly figured out the trick, which does make sense, there are only so many people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, all staring at the emperor, how to ask the emperor to be, this is unrealistic, there are one or two hundred people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but it is not realistic to stare at the common people, the common people are all over the world, how to keep an eye on it, and only the officials between the emperor and the common people are just enough for them to star, especially when some people think that the grievances between this faction and a certain faction understand what Chen Yuting said.

There are also not so smart people, Ban Xiang didn't understand the meaning of Chen Yuting's words, and looked around with a look of what I understood, and it was hard to say that I didn't understand anything, so I had to pretend to understand.
