Chapter 345: Everyone’s Choice

July 22.

platform.

Yang Jingwei was also summoning his important officials to discuss the matter in Shaanxi. No matter what, such a big thing is impossible for him to hide at home and operate alone. He had to mobilize all aspects of strength and gather everyone's wisdom.

The people who come here today are the stewards of the core of this empire.

The platform was much cooler than outside, and Yang Jing could not stand the hot weather, so cooling became a major event in the palace. Wherever the emperor went, the temperature had to drop there.

The cabinet and the ministers were sweating outside. They had just entered the platform and fucked them. They were so refreshed that they couldn't say that they were so happy that the ministers also envied the emperor for enjoying it.

"The Shaanxi thing has come in the end! Although I have already made preparations, I didn't expect it to come!" Yang Jie sighed first when he saw everyone coming. The inertia of history is really stronger. He has done his best. Unfortunately, he still failed to stop the pace of history. Of course, history still has some deflection.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Wen You Xu Zi first immigrated in Shaanxi, and Wu You Your Majesty's new army is there, so it should be foolproof." Shi Fenglai persuaded.

"Yes! Your Majesty, don't worry too much... God bless my court. Now, let my court know the news in advance, so you can correspond calmly..." Zhang Ruitu also said.

The important officials also persuaded the emperor one after another. The emperor's face seemed to be very bad, and it seemed to have suffered a great blow. In the eyes of the ministers, the emperor spent countless efforts on Shaanxi, but in the end, someone rebelled in Shaanxi, which must have had a great blow to the emperor.

"The things in Shaanxi are prepared, but I still don't want people to suffer! Once these people have brought in a large number of victims, this matter is another troublesome!" Yang Jing sighed endlessly. The thing he came over here and faced the greatest pressure was the rebellion in Shaanxi. I don't know how many ways I thought about this, but in the end, I was even more worried about gains and losses.

"Forget it, Master Sun, please tell me the situation in Shaanxi first..." Yang Jing sighed, his mind gradually changed, he began to be busy with important things, and began to instruct Sun Chengzong to introduce the situation in Shaanxi.

"Abide by the order, Your Majesty." Sun Chengzong has now returned to the city and has begun to work hard to operate the general staff for the emperor and give advice on the emperor. The wind has risen. Next, it is to listen to the wind and watch the wind for the emperor.

"...The news I have learned is the focus of Fugu..." Sun Chengzong began to use the command stick to explain the situation in Shaanxi on the huge sand table on the platform. The other ministers surrounded the sand table almost three sides, and the emperor stood alone on the empty side. "...In other words, this drought, the Yansui area in northern Shaanxi, which was the most severely affected, is also the most difficult place to transport disaster victims. In this place, it is already a great inconvenience to sail the Yellow River, and the transfer of grain and personnel will be consumed extra..."

"...This place is the place that Your Majesty is most worried about problems..." When he said this, Sun Chengzong paused for a moment.

Seeing that the emperor had no reaction, he said, "...For this reason, Your Majesty has already arranged a new army in Suide. Except for Wu Sangui's troops sent to Baishui, the rest of the new army are all in Suide, so they should be able to provide assistance in time..." Sun Chengzong explained. The stick in his hand was not hovering on several cities on the sand table.

"......... His Majesty, the governor of Shaanxi, had already told him to pay attention to defending against civil unrest, and had authorized the governor of Shaanxi to mobilize the troops of local garrisons to suppress civil unrest in various places..." Sun Chengzong began to explain the issue in Shaanxi from all aspects.

After talking for a long time, the ministers listened quietly and no one spoke.

After Sun Chengzong finished explaining the general situation, Yang Jingying said: "The current situation in Shaanxi is just that. Although I have made a lot of preparations, I still hope that you can give me advice and make up for the omissions. Everyone, let me talk about the missing things in Shaanxi." Although Yang Jing made various arrangements, a huge empire has thousands of problems. It is really too tiring to govern the country by one person. Even if Yang Jinghe is a time traveler, he has a cheating device that goes against the will of heaven. However, he still makes him dizzy and has to ask his ministers.

The ministers didn't say anything. Yang Jing waited for a long time, and saw that no one was talking, and said, "Why, everyone didn't say anything? Isn't anyone sharing my worries?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I have questions." An official came out and asked a question.

Yang Jingwei said: "Ask."

The official said: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, the news now comes from a letter. Is this news reliable? Can Your Majesty give me a look? Your Majesty has made various arrangements for the matter in Shaanxi before, and there is not much to say. Only this latest news comes from a letter. Your Majesty wants us to discuss matters, so we can only start from this letter and ponder it from this letter..." The official told his own question.

Yang Jing nodded, thinking that he was right. At the beginning, Yang Jing did not intend to make the letter Wu Sangui to himself public because there were many things that Wu Sangui pleaded for the Wang Er. Yang Jing thought the matter was strange, so he was ready to wait for detailed information. However, when this official said this, Yang Jing felt that it was indeed necessary to show everyone the letter, because all the various things came from this letter. If you don’t show the letter to everyone, you have to discuss it. Obviously, everyone can’t say anything.

So, Yang Jie sent Wu Sangui's letter to everyone. Everyone took the letter one by one and read it carefully to figure out some useful Donglailai from it.

After waiting for a long time, everyone finished circulating the letter.

"You have finished reading it, let's talk about what to do now." Yang Jing asked, relying on one person's power alone is not enough to deal with national affairs. We must gather the wisdom of everyone.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have seen something from this letter, but I don't know..." Shi Fenglai said hesitantly.

"Speak straight." Yang Jie immediately continued.

"Return to Your Majesty, what I see is Your Majesty's immigration strategy, which is of great use to Shaanxi. Although Wang Er is a rebel who killed officials and rebelled, he still gave up resistance after seeing the life path given by Your Majesty, and hoped to follow His Majesty's survival path. It seems that Your Majesty's immigration strategy is right, has the function of influence and guidance. In the face of the immigration strategy, there is no need to be too anxious..." After Shi Feng read the letter, he was very interested in the process of Wu Sangui's remarks in his heart. That is, Wang Er said that he was just to survive. He heard that the Holy Emperor had immigrants, and he heard that it was the new army of the Holy Emperor, so he surrendered himself, hoping to exchange news for the hundreds of people to immigrate and survive. In this way, the power of this immigrant is still quite great, and it can actually allow those who can rebel to go back. Shi Feng came to seize this point and began to say good things to the emperor.

"Well, this is, if tens of millions of taels of silver are spread and there is no movement, then wouldn't I be in vain?" Yang Jing was still very proud of his sense of flattery when he heard Shi Fenglai's flattery. This move was his proud work and one of the things he was confident that he could go against the will of heaven.

"I believe that Master Shi is right. Since Your Majesty's immigration can influence and guide the victims, I see, Shaanxi is not so decayed that you can rest assured that you have immigration strategies to compete with those who are determined to rebel for the victims. Those who are determined to rebel will not be able to achieve any climate." Grand Secretary Zhang Ruitu also said.

Yang Jing nodded, it was indeed good. Now, it has become a competition between his own immigration project and those who have long been rebellious. Whoever succeeds and loses will be more attractive. At present, it seems that the ten million taels of silver will not be wasted.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have seen from this letter that the new army is indeed an elite, with outstanding combat power, and has made its first attack. Since it won without any casualties, it is rare..." Liu Yanyuan, the Minister of War, also said what he saw in this letter.

Zero casualty war? Yang Jing couldn't help but think of the United States in later generations, claiming to fight zero casualty war. However, it was obvious that in the Ming Dynasty, that was not his own food... The reason why this was so smooth was that it was because of the glory of immigration policy, so it seemed that it was 70% political and three% military. It seemed that Yang Jing understood a lot; the second was that the boss he chose for his new army was a small boss who could not be even smaller, in order to feed the new army, feed the new army, and raise the new army. Now it seems that he did the right move, Yang Jing's psychology was relieved a lot. In the end, only by holding the army that can fight and fight in his hands can he have capital!

"Report to Your Majesty, in this letter, I have seen that through Wang Er's affairs, perhaps, this matter will become a benchmark. How to deal with Wang Er will become an important choice for Shaanxi immigrants..." Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Revenue, expressed his opinion after everyone said it...

"Oh, Bi Aiqing, why is this? Tell me the reason." Yang Jing no longer worries about Shaanxi now. It is much easier to collect other people's wisdom than to think of it yourself.

"When you come back to Your Majesty, I think that the affairs of Wang Er will be a sign, and a sign of dealing with people like Wang Er. It is said that there are bandits and rebels in all parts of Shaanxi. Although many people do not kill officials and rebels, they are afraid that they will act unjustly. Therefore, how to deal with Wang Er will become a mountaintop in Shaanxi. The bargaining weight for the rebels to measure. Your Majesty wants to quell the beacons everywhere in Shaanxi. I am afraid that Wang Er is one of the keys. If it is handled well, it is easy to quell the civil rebellion in Shaanxi. If it is not handled well, those people will probably leave and be dangerous and aggravate the decay in Shaanxi. Therefore, I advise you to deal with Wang Er carefully..." Bi Ziyan raised a sharp question.

Yang Jie nodded and thought it was good. Shaanxi is now full of bandits, bandits, etc. How to deal with Wang Er is afraid of being a role model. If Wang Er can become a typical immigrant who "converts" to the emperor, then those who stand on their own and cannot survive behind them are afraid of choosing the same path as Wang Er. This is indeed worth considering. In this way, the pressure to suppress the rebellion in Shaanxi is much smaller.

"Your dear words are reasonable." Yang Kai nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, I do not agree with it. Wang Er killed the official and rebelled, and the crime was unforgivable. If Wang Er was let go, wouldn't everyone who was an official in the future be killed if he wanted to? The officials did not have any guarantee? Your Majesty, this matter must be severely punished to be effective in respecting You." Zhang Ruitu immediately refuted that he firmly opposed this matter.

"I believe that Master Bi is right about this matter. Now the most important thing is to defend against the Shaanxi civil unrest. How to deal with the Shaanxi civil unrest? If Wang Er is let go, it can reduce the pressure of the civil unrest and allow more people like Wang Er to follow the path of immigration. Your Majesty, this is worth a try. It is best to keep peace. It is better not to use the military sword. Simply pressing will only make the beacons everywhere burn more vigorously. Now, it is time to withdraw firewood, not to add fuel to the fire... Besides, Wang Er has such great contributions..." Liu Yanyuan was of course a member of his Imperial Party and began to speak.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed..." Another minister argued with reason.

On the platform, the discussion about Shaanxi is getting deeper and deeper.

...

Shaanxi Fugu, on the edge of the Yellow River.

The sun has already set, with only some afterglow, which still makes the sky a little brighter. A group of ragged victims led a long line to walk towards the Yellow River. When they arrived at the Yellow River, they saw hope. According to the direction pointed out by the emperor, as long as they walked down the river, they could always find relief points. Therefore, finding the river became the belief that many victims would support them.

Yang Liu looked at the little afterglow in the sky, then looked not far away, and a smile appeared on his face that had been tense.

"Yang Qi, ask everyone to speed up. The Yellow River is right in front. When it reaches the Yellow River, everyone has hope and can find some relief from the Holy Emperor..." Yang Liu said to his younger brother with relief. He left Wang Jiayin, without being stuck in mud, and took his people to the Yellow River. Finally, before dark, he arrived at the Yellow River. Now, there is hope. Their food can only last for two or three days, and the few can't even last for a day. This is also the reason why he rebelled regardless of everything. But at the last moment, Yang Liu gave up and really couldn't see any chance of victory. Besides, a way of life was placed in front of him, and he really couldn't bear to watch his brothers follow him to die. Most of his brothers have families, old people, and young people. If they rebel, there is no possibility except for a lifetime.

"Good, Brother Qi, now I finally arrived at the Yellow River. I just don't know if I can see the relief from the Holy Emperor!" Yang Qi is a honest man. He has been hearing his brother say that he will be saved when he reaches the Yellow River. Naturally, he is looking forward to reaching the Yellow River as soon as possible. Now, it is finally coming, and he is very happy.

"Yes, I said there is rescue, there is rescue. Lao Qi, don't worry, when did my brother deceive you?" Yang Liu said with a smile. The reason why he gave up rebellion and changed his mind at the last moment was that he was not just lucky. He was also an official army back then, and was familiar with the way the government was doing, and was quite well-versed in the internal information of the government. After all, there were still some old relationships that could be wise. After learning that the Holy Emperor was setting up a relief point along the river, he thought about whether to try it. He was also one of the official army back then.

The little leader also had some knowledge and knew that although he was close to the Yellow River, he was too far from Xi'an. This relief point would be difficult to reach Fugu. So, in advance, he sent someone to take the local government's "introduction letter" to the lower reaches of the Yellow River to find the immigration officer, saying that there were a large number of victims in the Fugu area, which was very severely affected and wanted to immigrate, but the elderly and weak were mostly old and had no food. I wanted to ask the immigration officer to think of a solution. It would be best to send some grain ships to the lower reaches of the Yellow River, at least to deliver some food so that they could walk downstream by themselves.

The reason why Yang Liu was so confident was the news from the government. This immigration was a real move, including where the money came from, and he found out clearly who would execute it and how it would be more reliable. In this way, he extinguished his rebellious mind at the last moment and turned to another path, although this path was a path that no return for him.

The group of people led by Yang Liu began to repair the Yellow River. The depressed atmosphere for many days was swept away when they arrived at the Yellow River. Everyone believed that they would not starve to death when they arrived at the Yellow River, and the crowd began to laugh.

Yang Liu stood alone on the high mound of soil, looking at the lower reaches of the river. The people he sent out had been away for half a month. The one who made an appointment with him was to meet here today. Yang Liu was also betting that the emperor was not a fraud. If he lost the bet and did not transport the grain ship to transport the food, then most of them would starve to death. There was no more food in Shaanxi, and they either rebel, rob the big farmers who still had some grain accumulation, or wait for death. Shaanxi is no longer a place where people are, it is a hell, a living hell.

"Brother Six, what are you looking at?" Yang Qi saw his brother looking at something on the mound alone, so he came over to take a look.

"Haha, when you look at the Yellow River, this Yellow River is a river of life, but a road of life! It can connect to the Yangtze River. When you reach the Yangtze River, you can reach Dongting Lake. I heard that Dongting Lake is 800 miles, which can accommodate most of Shaanxi. It is a famous fish and rice town! It is much richer than Shaanxi. Wherever you immigrate in the future, you will no longer be afraid of drought... Everyone can live a good life..." Yang Liu smiled and explained to his younger brother. In fact, he was always waiting for the sender in his heart. If the sender does not come tomorrow, it can basically be judged that there is no hope for the food...

Night also fell in Beijing.

The lights were brightly lit in the mansion of Duke Cheng Guo, and the music of the ** was still going on.

Zhu Chunchen squinted his eyes, half-deaf and half-despicable, staring at the translucent gauze dress of the dancer. Zhu Chunchen also figured it out, one word, "follow", the emperor is not short of money, so let's follow the emperor.

The emperor obviously would not let Liulizhai collapse. At least, he would pay 20% of the tax every year. If the emperor said he would not want it, he would not want it? Since the emperor would still manage Liulizhai, then follow the emperor who could make money to earn some money. At least, the emperor would make money better than him. These nobles, who do not have the talent to do business, have limited ways to get money, and they are incomparable to those big merchants in the south. If they were not the nobles, they would be afraid that they would be eaten and even lost their bones.

The unique psychology of Chinese people to follow up the rise but not the fall plays a huge role.
