The weather gradually became cooler. After a rain, the heat in Beijing had almost subsided, and the rest was the coolness unique to autumn.

Wenhua Palace.

Yang Jing convened several ministers to discuss matters.

After several routine reports on the war in Liaodong and disaster relief, today's highlight began. It was said to be the highlight, but it was not too heavy. In today's earth-shaking Ming Dynasty, it really couldn't be ranked.

"Yuan Chonghuan reported that the East and the West were advancing, Lin Danhan was forced to make great progress and failed repeatedly. Liu Jishan reported that Lin Danhan hoped that our dynasty could provide more help. What do you think about this?" Yang Jie flipped through the book and picked up the matter and said.

"Report to Your Majesty, I think we should try our best to prevent the East Gate from advancing west. Once the East Gate advances west, the East Gate will rekindle again and regain its vitality, which will be of great disadvantage to our court..." Shi Fenglai was still the first to say, and it was just right and seemed to make sense.

"Report to Your Majesty, I think that I should try my best to prevent the East Gangster from advancing west. Once the East Gangster advances west, the entire grassland will be the racetrack for the East Gangster. The things that our dynasty was most worried about before will definitely happen. I think that we should increase the pressure and support Lin Dankhan, and we must not let Lin Dankhan be swallowed by the East Gangster..." Han Yu also came out and said.

"Report to Your Majesty, I also agree to help Lin Danhan..." More ministers said. This matter is basically the same in the court, that is, you must not let the East Gate advance westward. Once the East Gate advance westward, the things that the emperor was most worried about earlier will happen. The East Gate knocked on the gate at any point from the walls of thousands of miles of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty would be unable to defend itself and was always and everywhere. If this happens, it is really a tragedy of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, when the emperor said that Lin Danhan asked for help, his words were almost the same.

"Well, it is definitely not possible for the East Gate to move westward. Once the East Gate to move westward, our dynasty will be passive again. These thousands of miles of walls have become sieves. It is equivalent to not being able to defend the source. The greed of the East Gate is not comparable to Lin Danhan..." Yang Jing said that it is not the first time that Lin Danhan asked for help, but it has happened one after another. With these letters of request for help, Yang Jing could imagine Lin Danhan's situation. Lin Danhan was a tragedy, a destined tragedy. Yang Jing had always believed it.

"... Since all the Qing families think that they should continue to provide assistance, then continue to provide assistance. This time, Lin Danhan asked for a lot of things..., 150,000 taels of silver, 2,000 arrows, grain..., cloth," Yang Jing took a look at the list of requests for assistance and said.

After hearing that it was worth 150,000 yuan, everyone started to talk about it again. Although it seems that 150,000 yuan is not a lot and the court can afford it, some people think that Lin Danhan has asked too much, except for silver, there are also muskets, grain, and cloth, but everything is needed.

"Report to Your Majesty, I think that although our dynasty has an alliance with Lin Dankhan, the grassland must not be lost, but Lin Dankhan's mouth has been too big. I think that I should not give so much, and I should let Lin Dankhan know that the money from the Ming Dynasty is not easy to get, and it is all accumulated by the blood and sweat of the people." Someone was unhappy to give so much money, so he began to suggest that the emperor reduce the number.

"Report to Your Majesty, I..." Someone came out to support this statement.

"Well, it's right, it makes sense. Does the Qing family have different opinions?" After hearing everyone's speech, Yang Jing did not express his opinion. Instead, he asked if there was any other thing to speak. This matter seems to be no big deal. There were precedents before, so just follow the example. Yang Jing did not have to take this matter to the Xiaochao discussion. But in fact, this matter involves the northern strategy. The progress of the entire strategy must be in his own hands. If the progress is too fast, he must use the means to balance it.

If the situation is too slow, we must use means to slightly promote the development of the situation. In short, only things can go at their own pace. As for the question of how much money is, Yang Jing did not care much about this. Compared with the elimination of the Donglu, the elimination of Lin Danhan, or even the solution of the problem, it is not worth mentioning. Which is the least, it is natural to say that discussing the matter of silver and material support is actually just a skin problem.

"Report to Your Majesty, I think that if you support Lin Dankhan and the Eastern Lu, it will be useless to spend money on money. It is better for our dynasty to send troops to wipe out the Eastern Lu. In this way, there is no need to give Lin Dankhan money. I don't know that Your Majesty..." Another suggestion was made.

"...Mr. Chen, I don't understand how to watch the tiger fight, and I actually have to go on the battle myself? Do you don't know how much military spending our troops to send and how much military spending to support Lin Danhan?" Before Yang Jing criticized this minister, someone next to him immediately criticized the minister. Now, the ministers' vision and mind have gone through so many things, and they have adjusted their minds a little. They are used to the emperor's logic of doing things, and are used to talking and doing things before doing things. Although this change is very small, the level of handling national affairs has been improved a lot. The words that praise others and speak without thinking are getting fewer and fewer. They are meaningful and have gradually become the new favorite in the court.

This official seemed to be a new official. Yang Jie looked at him and looked carefully. He seemed to be Cao Yubian's successor, and he seemed to be Chen Yuting. He was a genuine Donglin Party. No wonder he spoke so unreliable. Thinking that these officials have been trained by him for so long, they have made some progress.

Seeing someone criticizing the newcomer, many people looked at it, as if they were watching it.

"..." The criticized official was a little anxious and blushed. He didn't expect that someone would criticize him in the court, and what he didn't expect was that everyone was optimistic about his opinion.

"...The Chen Qing family has just taken office and is not familiar with the past and does not know many things. It's not a fault for the Qing family. The Qing family should listen more and watch more in the future..." Yang Jingwei said.

"I obey the order!" Chen Yuting agreed with embarrassment. He took over Cao Yubian's stance. Cao Yubian personally talked to him. No one knew what he had said, but he must also know the reason for his position. Cao Yubian must have explained to him. Therefore, Chen Yuting, who was known for his sharp impeachment, immediately became born and did not compete with the emperor.

"I have said before about the issue of sending troops. Now that we have repeated it, our dynasty is already quite struggling to maintain the pressure on the Eastern Barbarians. Going deep into the inland to fight against the Eastern Barbarians is really a shortcoming for our dynasty. The chance of winning is really not great, and we need to plan further. Therefore, we should try our best to siege and disturb the Eastern Barbarians as the main focus. The time for the decisive battle is not yet ripe, so Lin Danhan still needs support..." Yang Jing explained again, and while talking, looking at the person from Cao Yubian, Yang Jing felt that this guy seemed to be much lower than Cao Yubian. Yang Jing couldn't say what the specific place was. Anyway, he just felt that it was low.

"...Your Majesty is wise..." After hearing the emperor's explanation, Chen Yuting still answered a little embarrassedly. He was not a person who could easily surrender, but when facing the emperor, he had to surrender, and even had a hint of fear in his eyes. He remembered what Cao Yubian said to him. What the emperor thought and saw must be many times higher than him. When dealing with the emperor, you must learn to be at ease, learn to be able to say things, and speak and do things with reliable means. Otherwise, the emperor would not look down on him. Every time he thought of the words Cao Yubian, who was so aging, said to himself like he was confessing his funeral, Chen Yuting felt fear in his heart. Those who could convince such a stubborn person, and those who changed their views were definitely not ordinary people.

"This matter is decided like this. My dynasty still agreed to his request and put pressure on the Donglu to relieve the pressure on him and still agree to his request to support him. In addition, on the basis of what he wants, add another 20%, which means that I gave it to him. Since he and I have joined forces, I will not let him down. I hope he will not let me down..." Yang Jingai said expressionlessly.

After hearing that the emperor added 20% on that basis, they were a little confused and even thought it was a bit strange. They just thought that the money was given too much. What if there was someone who thought that the money was given too little? They also had to add 20%?

"I dare to ask Your Majesty what this is, if I can understand it, some ministers don't understand it, so I immediately asked.

"Haha, didn't I just say it? Our dynasty and Lin Dankhan joined forces to deal with the Donglu. Since it was a united force, I naturally would not disappoint him. Of course, I would also tell Lin Dankhan, hoping that he would not let me down..." Yang Jing laughed dryly, then repeated his meaning, and specifically emphasized that he did not want Lin Dankhan to disappoint him.

The ministers looked at each other, but they didn't know what the emperor was selling.

Chen Yuting used to trying to open his mouth and speak, but when he opened his mouth several times, he remembered the advice Cao Yubian gave him. When he said the words to him, he swallowed them again, and remembered the emperor's words just now, asking him to listen and read more... Chen Yuting still didn't say them.

Faced with such a strange reason, the ministers didn't know what to say, in order to show the emperor's generosity, or to show the Ming Dynasty's generosity, or to another purpose?

Yang Jing has his own considerations. On the one hand, Lin Danhan is really too tragic now. When he meets the Later Jin Dynasty, he is the one who gives away meat. If he doesn't give him support, he is afraid that this guy will bite the Hou Jin and get hurt all over. I'm afraid that it won't last long. This is inconsistent with Yang Jing's strategy. What's wrong, I have to support it until next year. To give him support, there is another meaning, that is, to bind Lin Danhan to Liaodong and Jinning, so that he and the Later Jin Dynasty cannot avoid it. They can only keep friction and bleeding. If Lin Danhan was beaten by the East Captain and ran west, Yang Jing's abacus would not be able to make a move. Yang Jing and Lin Danhan were in charge.

The agreement was that the materials could only be received from Jinning, because the Ming Dynasty also lacked food and other materials, and there was no food for the mainland walls. If they wanted to give them, they could only go to Jinning to get food and other materials. This is why. It was too big and could not stay in this area close to Liaodong. Lin Danhan could also go to other places to avoid the limelight. If Lin Danhan did not use the benefits to restrain Lin Danhan in Liaodong, I am afraid that Lin Danhan would have run away long ago, and there were only two left in Liaodong. This strategy to encircle the Later Jin Dynasty had a big hole in advance, and this situation could not happen; and Yang Jing still had a little si heart...

After dealing with a few more things, Xiao Chao's discussion ended.

...

After the dispersed morning, Yang Jie saw that it had just rained and the weather was clear, and the air seemed particularly fresh, so he had the idea of ​​walking around.

The one who accompanied Yang Jing was Sun Chengzong and Wang Chengen followed somewhere in the back, while others were far away from him.

"Master Sun, it seems that the situation in Liaodong is getting more and more unstable." Yang Jing was inspired. It took Lin Danhan a second time to come to ask for help without regard for his shame. It can be seen that Lin Danhan's life is really difficult.

"Reply to Your Majesty, yes, the situation in Liaodong really needs to stabilize. At least this year, Lin Danhan needs to be nailed to that place. You must not let Lin Danhan move." Sun Chengzong said. At this time, Sun Chengzong said his heart. In the court discussion, Sun Chengzong basically did not speak. Some things, if you open your mouth, you will inevitably have to fall into verbal disputes. If you don't speak, you will be spared from right and wrong.

"Haha, indeed, Lin Danhan really needs to be nailed to that place now...Haha, I'm afraid Lin Danhan is also very annoyed now. If you leave, you won't have to get a little support. If you don't leave, you have to fight the Donglu. I guess he is also in a dilemma! Now that I'm asking me so urgently, I'm afraid I'll have to leave..." Yang Jing said with a smile. Looking at the problem from the overall situation, he will come to many different conclusions. Lin Danhan

Every move is under Yang Jing's nose. It is not difficult for Yang Jing to guess what Lin Danhan wants and what he wants to do. Lin Danhan asked himself a problem, and Yang Jing also gave Lin Danhan another problem. You asked yourself to support, and you were so intensive. Then you might as well add 20% to you. Yang Jing wants to see how Lin Danhan takes action. Although it seems like an ordinary thing, in fact, it is just a two-person fight.

"...Your Majesty said, Lin Danhan is really in a dilemma now. Your Majesty's move is indeed wonderful. I am afraid that Lin Danhan is even more difficult now..." Sun Chengzong affirmed the emperor's statement. This is the real inside story of this matter. Not many people know about this matter. The fact of the inside story here is completely different from the previous statements in the Xiao Dynasty.

"Haha, Lin Danhan is also an ambitious person, but he was born in a bad time. When he met Donglu, he was afraid that he would waste his life... Today he came to support him, but he was afraid that he would not take long, and he would come to ask for it again..." Yang Jing smiled and gave Lin Danhan an evaluation, and concluded that Lin Danhan would come to ask for money.

"Your Majesty said it very well. Lin Danhan is in a dilemma. If he retreats, he will not think about his support. He has lost a lot of money and supplies. If he does not withdraw, he will suffer a lot of losses. Now this money can only be suppressed for a while. I think he will come to ask for it. However, even if he comes to ask for it again, it will not be a big deal. It will take a long time to leave the snow outside the pass. After it snows, Lin Danhan's stay or leave is no longer important. In short, Lin Danhan will only come once or twice at most..." Sun Chengzong also gave his own judgment. Many things Sun Chengzong negotiated directly with the emperor. What he knew, especially in military affairs, was not comparable to ordinary ministers. What he said was the closest to the facts.

"Haha, Master Sun said very well. It will snow soon... At most, I will give it once or twice. I can still afford it. I not only want to give it, but also add some. I want to see if Lin Danhan can make up that determination and give it to me. I don't want it... Haha, it's just a million silver coins, I can afford it... It depends on whether Lin Danhan has the ability to ask for it..." Yang Jing said with a smile. In order to attract Lin Danhan to fight to the death in the Liaodong Hehehou, Yang Jing is willing to pay it. If you want this money, Yang Jing will really hurt you for a long time, and it will really stump Lin Danhan. But for Yang Jing now, it is really nothing. If you have a bank in hand, you are afraid that you have no money to spend it?

Yang Jie and Sun Chengzong exchanged views and were quite happy about the conclusion they came to. After thinking about it, he said again.

"Master Sun, when it comes to the strategy of the north, I think of a problem..." Yang Jing thought for a while and said, Yang Jing was going to talk about the "living Buddha" to Sun Chengzong and listen to Sun Chengzong's opinions. However, when the words were spoken, Yang Jing stopped again. There were some problems. Yang Jing had not yet thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate to say it now. When the words were spoken, he took them back.

"Oh, I dare to ask what happened to Your Majesty?" Sun Chengzong asked.

"It's about household registration." Yang reformed and reformed

"Household registration? I wonder what Your Majesty is referring to?" Sun Chengzong asked in confusion.

"I am thinking that since I want to promote this household registration, then after the war next year, there will definitely be a large number of unowned farmland outside the pass. What I mean is to sell these lands and sell them on a large scale, not just the current model of organizing business groups to develop..." Yang Jingwei thought for a while and said.

"...Your Majesty means that you are not allowed to buy land without a household registration?" Sun Chengzong knew about household registration, knew that the emperor intended to promote household registration, linked many "rights" to household registration, and "forced" the people of the Ming Dynasty to truthfully register themselves, so that the court could accurately obtain population data and real population data, which had many benefits. In addition to the many hidden populations, land would surface, there were also salt taxes, which were also very beneficial. Seeing that the emperor mentioned the matter in the north and household registration, he immediately thought of this.
