Chapter 728: The Great Harvest in the Year of Disaster
The platform meeting was dispersed.
Yang Jie did not return to the Ganqing Palace, but went to Taiye Pool to cool off.
Regarding the matter of Daliuqiu, Yang Jie didn't want to say it now. Yang Jie originally planned to wait until the food arrived in the capital, so that it would have greater lethality. However, he had to bring out the news in advance to alleviate the concerns between inside and outside the court about food shortage.
After the food of Daliuqiu came out, there were other things to do, which was not a simple food problem. This problem was the upgrade of Daliuqiu. When immigrating, it was not so detailed. Immigration officials were all given treatment by the seventh-rank official, and the specifications were at most county level. Now Daliuqiu can not only accommodate refugees, but also produce grain. The grain transported this time is 300,000 shi. If it is a tax of 300,000 shi, this is already a tax paid by a high-level government, which means that Daliuqiu can be upgraded to the level of the prefecture.
With the upgrade of the Great Ryukyu, the county level will become the prefecture level, and the corresponding personnel will also be promoted, from the seventh rank to the fifth rank, the sixth rank, or even the fourth rank prefect.
Yang Jing was planning to be promoted to one prefecture, or two prefectures, or several states. This issue actually involves the growth of the "immigrant faction" of the Jinshi in the first year of his ascension to the throne. He must have his own team and his own people in everything he does. These "immigrant factions" who were born in the first year of his ascension to the throne are undoubtedly their important teams. In the future, they will gradually replace and occupy some important positions in the Ming Dynasty and lay the necessary foundation for themselves to take charge of the entire country. Instead of compromise everywhere now, with their own tough team, it will be convenient for themselves to promote changes in the future. This group of officials who were born in the throne have a very obvious mark, and they all "start" by immigrants, and will definitely support immigration and expansion policies more in the future, which is also beneficial to their own expansion.
Yang Jing thought that this time the Great Ryukyu transported grain to Beijing, which alleviated the danger of food shortage in the north, was considered a great contribution, and it was time to push this vibrant political force onto the stage of history.
Yang Jing remembered Liu Yanyuan, the former Minister of War, and this guy seemed to have to catch up with the benefits of this wave of promotion. He was the ninth-rank inspector. This time he didn't know whether to be promoted to the eighth-rank or the seventh-rank, but Yang Jing wanted to laugh when he remembered Liu Yanyuan.
In addition to the "immigrant factions" in Daliuqiu, in fact, places such as Dongting Lake have also been upgraded. This year, the grain bags in lakes such as Dongting Lake have also played a significant role. They also produce a lot of grain, which still plays a considerable role in alleviating the food tension throughout the year. If the taxes are calculated based on the taxes paid, upgrading to a prefecture should not be a problem.
In this way, it would be no problem to upgrade to at least seven or eight states. Such real achievements are from Jinshi and emperors, so it is difficult not to be promoted. With so many achievements, it is not difficult to be promoted, so naturally, it is even more difficult to move to another place to become an official. Then the subsequent "immigration" officials were promoted and then moved to another place to become an official. In a few years, this wave of Jinshi "immigration" would spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, and they were all the backbone. When Yang Jing thought of this, he felt particularly beautiful.
In this way, this year's disaster year is actually a bumper harvest year for the "immigrants" of my own imperial examinations. Grain production is reduced, and actual material production is reduced, but it has achieved a great political harvest.
After thinking for a while, Yang Jing thought about it again, whether the promotion and promotion of officials of the "immigration faction" would be blocked, but when I thought about it, I felt relieved. This wave of "immigration faction" was all from Jinshi, and should have occupied an important position in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty and should have been promoted very quickly. This time, the problem of promotion and promotion should not be big. Who dares to come out to stop it? Faced with two or three hundred Jinshi, and facing the upstarts who will definitely take charge of the Ming Dynasty in the future, what a brainless person would come out to stop it?
After understanding this matter, Yang Jing was no longer anxious. He was worried that his right-hand man had left the capital and it was a bit difficult to do this by himself, but after thinking about it, Yang Jing felt that it was no longer difficult. Now he waited for new grain to enter Beijing and then promoted. This was also considered that he had lost his right-hand man and was dealing with a big matter alone. His right-hand man was old, and he could not always rely on his right-hand man to live a life, and he should be more powerful and more independent.
...
Han Yu left the Forbidden City and looked back, he felt most deeply moved. This new grain entry into Beijing was not a trivial matter. The ups and downs of the Ming Dynasty were no longer something he could achieve. In addition to feeling, he could also feel that in the future, this Ming Dynasty would be the new Ming Dynasty and the emperor's Ming Dynasty.
“The general trend…”
"...The general trend is coming,... There are talents in the generations of countries. I am old, I am old..." Han Yu sighed for a while, and said this sentence, and even sighed that it was a wise choice for him to turn around.
"Gei, why are you old? You are getting stronger and stronger..." Another person next to him heard Han Yu's muttering and came up to flatter him.
"... Now it's the world of young people. I can't accept my old bones if I don't accept my old age..." Han Du smiled and said with a self-deprecating voice.
The flatterer didn't know how to take it next. Judging from the situation of the cabinet, could it be that something big happened in the capital?
...
News of the Great Ryukyu food entering Beijing spread wildly.
For the common people, perhaps it was just some food to enter Beijing, and perhaps it was more curious or some topics of conversation. Although it was also affected, it was not as shocking to the Ming Dynasty's officialdom.
Chen Yuting’s Mansion.
Now, Chen Yuting, as the Constitution of the Ming Dynasty, is surrounded by some complaining censors.
"Mr. Zongxian, Your Majesty spends a lot of money to do this. Although it is all the money allocated from His Majesty's treasury, it is also all the people's fat and people's cream. People's fat and people's cream should be spent where they should be spent. It is really a waste to spend it so randomly, which makes people feel heartbroken..."
"...Yes! Lord Zongxian, the Eastern Captains have not yet been settled. His Majesty is gathering to sell the land in Liaodong, but he is eager to do some development in Liaodong. He wants to invest a large amount of money in Liaodong. Whatever the officials think about it, how do they think this matter is false..."
"...Yes! Lord Zongxian, you have to persuade Your Majesty! When the officials were in contact with the people's conditions, they actually discovered that this old fool in the countryside dared to sit in a teahouse and talk about the right and wrong of the court. Even the officials of the court were not aware of. They even knew that Zongxian, it was time to take charge of it..." said another official.
Chen Yuting sat upright in the middle of the living room, listening to these officials complaining "seriously", and he felt a lot of complaints in his heart. Who is he? He can control the emperor? He tried several times when fighting with the emperor, and soon he was defeated. With his own strength, it was almost impossible for the emperor to fight with the emperor. The emperor was born not afraid of any single minister. Not everyone dared to spit on the emperor's face, nor was everyone Zhang Juzheng who could dominate the court, so what if Zhang Juzheng? In the end, he would still be beaten to the ground with a word from the emperor?
Chen Yuting listened to the complaints of these officials. He could only think that he was a fart and let it go. In the Ming Dynasty, no minister had any advantage in fighting with the emperor. If he could suppress the emperor, he would borrow the power of everyone in the court. Everything had to be raised up and overwhelmed the emperor with the power of everyone, so that the emperor could submit. Even so, the person in charge would not dare to reveal too many traces. Otherwise, wait for the emperor to find an excuse that day. Either he would take it away or get rid of it.
If the emperor has done it, it will be impossible to end. The Silijian, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang are not vegetarians. They annoyed the emperor, so the emperor let out these evil dogs to bite people. How was Zhang Juzheng in the past? It was not that he was powerful in the court and the country. What was the result? A few years ago, the six gentlemen and seven gentlemen of the Donglin Party, so many high-ranking officials and so many people, annoyed the emperor. Didn’t the emperor release evil dogs and deal with them all? How miserable were they? Although they have been rehabilitated, this person can’t be resurrected.
If Chen Yuting had to use the power of the people in the court to attack the emperor, this idea would have been so hard to say, and he would fart by the way, just to think that it was nonsense and the waste gas was released. This practice was not without it before, and it was always used and it was always effective. But later, the salt merchant incident happened, and the court would never have really attacked the emperor, and the bones of the ministers were discounted. The court had already been divided into several groups, and the emperor firmly
He controls the imperial party and controls several other groups of people from afar. He can't even turn around if the emperor is not able to move. He still wants to fight against it, suppress the emperor, and let the emperor be controlled and obedient? This is a huge joke. Including himself, he is all chess pieces secretly controlled by the emperor. He plays with the emperor and makes a fuss. The emperor feels happy and doesn't care about it. He really dares to challenge the emperor on major issues. If the emperor can't forgive him, why should he be the general constitution?
Chen Yuting listened to these officials' complaints "seriously", thinking that these people were really stupid, and they could not see the changes in the court, and they thought they could unite to suppress the emperor. People who think about such things were probably dreaming. If there was such a big connection, he would have to go and report the news first.
"Everyone makes sense..." Chen Yuting said. Speaking of this, Chen Yuting's words were blocked, and he really wanted to fart. He dared to find something small to attack the emperor, and he fought against the emperor in the development of Liaodong. Chen Yuting wanted to block his ears.
"...The foolish people in the countryside talk about national affairs without making a fuss. Now there is a mansion to publish the world, convey the imperial decrees and laws, and introduce the customs and customs of the Ming Dynasty. This is a good thing. There are too few people who read in the Ming Dynasty, and most of them are illiterate. Those who can read literate people and introduce public opinion in the world are also successful in educating..." Chen Yuting said this. He didn't want to say anything else. No matter how well he said or how well he encouraged him, he went to the court and said a few words, he didn't dare to talk back to the emperor. It was difficult to do what he thought of at home...
"But, Zongxian, this... the news about Muraoshi is faster than the ones we ordered to be officials in the court, and it is even more accurate. The officials think it is strange..." The official hurriedly defended that as soon as the newspaper was released, they had already robbed their voice. As soon as the newspaper reader made a secret news, they weakened their voice.
"...Well..., that's just a rural villager who read the newspaper and made up his own tricks and coaxed people. How could the rural villager take the words seriously?" Chen Yuting said. He didn't want to get involved in this matter. What could it be involved? Could it be that those who read newspapers were arrested and punished? Can you still ask if you can leak the banned Chinese? If that's the case, then Chen Yuting's face would be greatly disgraced.
"But, Zongxian, you can't ignore this matter..." the official said hurriedly.
"How to deal with this? They read the newspaper and then brag and chat together. Could it be that I will ask me to punish him for a casual conversation?" Chen Yuting said.
"But, sir. These people are talking about court affairs..." the official argued.
"The court affairs are written in the newspaper. Since they can be published in the newspaper, why should we be afraid of other people's comments? There is no reason that can only be read or not! This makes me embarrassed..." Chen Yuting refused.
The official was a little angry, but he didn't expect that he would get this reply here.
"Then the General Constitution, the Liaodong incident..." Some officials also asked hurriedly.
Chen Yuting thought for a long time before saying, "...This matter is not something we can stop. Your Majesty spent a lot of effort to do this. Not only did he recover Liaodong, but he also had to resettle hundreds of thousands of victims. What do you ask me to say about this? How do you do it? Is it not allowed to restore Liao? Your Majesty to provide disaster relief?"
"I dare to ask my sir! This is not OK, that is not OK, so why do you have to do this censor?" The official who was asking about the newspaper just now stood up and asked with an unruly attitude.
In Chen Yuting's living room, he immediately became quiet in surprise. All the officials admired this guy's courage. He went to Chen Yuting, who was the general constitution, and he was just a seventh-rank official.
Chen Yuting did not get angry on the spot. He could still have the minimum cultivation and cultivation skills to achieve the position of the Ming Dynasty.
Chen Yuting looked around and said, "I didn't mean to argue with people. What should he do and what should he not do. He had already figured out. His "ex-in-law" revealed some words in his recent communication with him. The meaning of these words is very simple. If you can't fight the emperor, you can turn your attention to the ministers. The emperor is not easy to fight. Are the ministers not easy to fight? Now all kinds of super projects come one after another, and there are still cats that are not greedy in the world? Now the emperor is spreading a lot of silver. According to the unspoken rules of the Ming Dynasty, how much is this greedy? There are so many corruption in the Ming Dynasty, and you will catch a few of them, and there will be no one who is wronged. The Censorate wants to "become a hero" and regain his heroic spirit and become awesome existence. There is no need to blindly find a sense of existence in the emperor. There is no need to just be unable to get along with the emperor. Can these officials not be arrested?
After Chen Yuting received the meaning of "ex-in-law", he thought carefully and felt that this made sense. He was really not sure if he wanted to fight the emperor. Now the emperor had already divided the sects of him into several factions and firmly grasped them. He wanted to attack the emperor in groups. This is just a joke. He could not attack the emperor in groups. With the energy of his own or several people, even if the emperor did not take a harsh action, it would be enough for him to drink a pot. Now the emperor is very smart and not so easy to fool. If the emperor had a harsh action, he might not even have a slap. Chen Yuting had not been stupid enough to do anything, so he had already figured out what he could do and what he could not do.
Now it is indeed as the "ex-official" said. Nowadays, there are a large number of projects one after another, and there will be no corruption? If the core imperial party is trustworthy, it may not be corruption, but what about other people? Especially the Han Du faction, the people who are not strong in character, and the matter that takes over is a huge amount of money. If you can't catch a few big rats, it is absolutely impossible. This is almost accurate to catch one by one. If you bet on your life and future, you will not be able to get along with the emperor. It is better to cause trouble for Han Du. This is the mortal enemy of their sect, and it is just avenging your revenge together.
With the advice of his "ex-in-law", Chen Yuting also figured out and understood his work priorities. Therefore, he was not so annoyed when facing the questioning of his subordinate officials and did not erupt on the spot.
"You wait for one to lift your head too high, and the other to lower your head too low..." Chen Yuting said with a smile.
"...There is only one at the top, that is Your Majesty. As the eyes and ears, we should have the awareness of ears and eyes. We should not do everything according to the requirements of ears and ears. If so, why do we still need this minister of the cabinet? We should do what we should do..."
"...You are staring at the ground. Can the people with a large number of people be in charge? The local government offices will only say that our censorate is meddling with rats. If our censorate is really so idle, the censorate should have been eliminated long ago..."
Several officials who were taught a lesson by Chen Yuting turned red. They were the ones who only knew the brain when Chen Yuting said that they could only hear and have a brain. He also heard Chen Yuting say that he was holding rats and stared at the official who dared to question Chen Yuting. This is indeed some of them. At most, it is the errand of the yamen runners. Now that the censor of the Censorate is doing, what is this not a dog to hold rats? If you really have that free time, it is better to have a cup of tea at home. There are so many people and so many state prefectures in the world, can you control it?
"...... We are in charge of your Majesty. What you see and hear. You have to report the memorial. This is the right way and it is our duty.... There will naturally be Your Majesty. If there is any mistake in the court, we should make corrections. This is also our duty. There is nothing wrong with the court's affairs. " Chen Yuting said.
"...But does my Censorate just focus on this? No need to do anything else? Impeach the ministers and villains to form party members. Those who act powerfully and unruly, and those who impeach all officials who are greedy and greedy and bad at official discipline will ignore these? Speaking of which, this is also the main responsibility of my Censorate..." Chen Yuting said slowly.
"Zhengxian said, "Let us look at the officials?" Someone came to his senses. Just now, Chen Yuting said that one looked at the sky and the other looked at the ground, and then some looked at the middle. Could it be that he looked at the officials in the middle?
"Yes, the reason can only be understood, not expressed in words, so I will not say more. If you can understand it, you should experience it yourself. If you can't understand it, don't talk about it outside..." Chen Yuting was not angry because someone contradicted him. Instead, he began to unify the thoughts of the Censorate and change the attack direction of the Censorate. If he wanted to choose the right direction, the Censorate could always make brilliant achievements in his office.
A relatively clever official quickly figured out the trick, which made sense. There were only so many people in the Censorate, all staring at the emperor. It was unrealistic. There were one or two hundred people in the Censorate, but it was unrealistic to stare at the common people. The people were all over the world. How could they be watched? Only the officials between the emperor and the common people were just enough for them to keep an eye on. Especially when some people thought about the grudge between this faction and a certain faction, they even understood what Chen Yuting said.
There are also those who are not so smart. They haven't understood what Chen Yuting said for a while. They look around them with the same meaning as I understand. It's hard to say that I don't understand anything, so they have to pretend to understand.
The official who had previously questioned Chen Yuting was still ready to question again, but the official next to him kept pulling his sleeves. He wanted to speak several times, but he had no chance. He was in the pulling room. But he heard someone shouting outside.
"Sir, sir..." An anxious voice sounded outside the door. Chen Yuting immediately calmed down in the living room, and he wanted to see what was going on, so anxious.
"What's wrong? So anxious?" Chen Yuting asked hurriedly.
"Sir, the news that just came out of the palace, the big news, the food from the Great Ryukyu is about to arrive in the capital..." The person who ran in was dressed as an official. Because he was running in a hurry, he was already sweating all over in this weather. As soon as he entered the door, he kept sweating while looking for a teapot.
"Is the food from the Great Ryukyu going to Beijing?" Chen Yuting hadn't realized what was going on for a while? What's the point of saying that food is coming to Beijing?
"Yes! Sir, it is said that the first batch has 300,000 stones... I have arrived in Beijing these few days. This is what Your Majesty said in person. Now I am afraid that the entire city of Beijing will spread..." The official took a few sips of tea and continued.
"Three hundred thousand stones? This is not a small amount!" Chen Yuting finally screamed in surprise. The number of 300 thousand stones instantly made him understand the meaning of it.
"Sir, yes! Nowadays, everyone in the officialdom in the capital is talking about this matter..." The official wiped his face and said.
"It's really a big deal, it's really a big deal!" Chen Yuting understood in a flash that this was really not a problem of food. The emperor did what he said. Did the emperor promised Liu Yanyuan, the former Minister of War, to get up from a ninth-rank official? The implication was that it was very easy to get promoted in the Daliuqiu place. Many people were still skeptical about this matter at the beginning, but now it's difficult not to get promoted if the Daliuqiu food has entered Beijing. This Jinshi, coupled with the merits of immigration, and enough
With more taxes, all of them are going to be promoted. At this moment, the group of people who were honored by the emperor two years ago suddenly rose up and stood at the backbone of the Ming Dynasty officialdom. If this continues, the impact on the court is profound. Chen Yuting suddenly felt that he should be glad that he had heard the words of his "executive" and did not fight the emperor to death, and turned his direction in time. Otherwise, he would not know how he died indiscriminately with the emperor.
In the living room, there were smart people who already understood what this meant. They were also shocked. This was a thing that was so far away, but now it was so close at once, which was really surprising.
"Sir, what is this big deal? Although I transported 300,000 shi of grain to Beijing, it has slightly alleviated the shortage of grain in the capital, but now the summer grain is about to be harvested, it is not a big deal..." Someone said before he understood the truth.
"Does Lord Zhang still remember what happened to Liu Yanyuan, the former Minister of War?" Someone immediately reminded him when he saw that this guy was not yet enlightened.
"Ah! Uh...this..." This man understood immediately and was surprised to himself.
In the living room, there was a surprise.
"This 300,000 stone is indeed not much food, and it does not have much impact on the world, but it is definitely a big deal for our Ming Dynasty officialdom..." Chen Yuting sighed and said, an important one that can influence the future political power of the Ming Dynasty is about to take the stage.
"The Constitution..."
"The Constitution..."
Some people asked Chen Yuting what he meant uneasy. Chen Yuting was the leader of their sect, so naturally he had to ask what he meant.
"It's terrible..., it's terrible!" Chen Yuting said. These Jinshis of the Encai in the first year of Chongzhen will reach a high position of the fourth and fifth ranks. With such a large-scale investment of the emperor, it's just a very simple matter. It's not difficult to rise any further. In other words, it's almost certain that these people occupy the court of the Ming Dynasty. These people are from the Encai Jinshi and are all "immigrants". This is almost a natural "imperial party"! When this matter was decided before, who would have thought so much? Only when the truth is revealed can the truth be revealed, will he feel his terror. If His Majesty was stopped early, he might not have happened today. Chen Yuting thought of it.
The censor who had been confronting and questioning Chen Yuting saw that everyone was acting abnormally, quickly asked his companion. His companion was also a shrewd person and immediately explained the reasons to him. After hearing this, he was stunned and no longer came out to question and confront Chen Yuting. This was really a big event in the Ming Dynasty officialdom. He mentioned that matter, but when he saw that the emperor was silent, a storm broke out in the Ming Dynasty officialdom. He felt that there might be no need to show his little thoughts to embarrass him. No matter how slow he was, he should understand the impact of this incident on the Ming Dynasty officialdom. The little thing he mentioned was really a small matter that could not be small, and it was not much different from catching a rat.
...
The next day.
The front page headline on the Di Daily News is that the grain of the Great Ryukyu is about to enter Beijing...
[A few words: Thank you to the book friend "Fei Tian & Stone" for your reminder, and corrected a mistake. The otaku confused the summer harvest time with the summer tax time. It was really a waterfall sweat... Chapter 726 has been revised, and the harvest of summer grain was changed to the summer tax treasury, and wait for the grain to be changed to buying grain. Book friends are welcome to criticize, and the otaku must correct it.]
Chapter completed!
