Chapter eight hundred and sixty-four Zichen discussion

The document was sent to Jia Nan, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War. Since the Northern Expedition last year, Jia Nan has been so busy that he has not touched the ground, and his fat body has been reduced by ten kilograms, but he has become much more energetic. Jia Nan joked that he was suffering from the burden. Every day, he went to the yamen before dawn, and he was busy until the final update. Sometimes when it was curfew, he simply lived in the yamen. The emperor returned to Beijing, and the Minister of War Ding Dawei also came back. Jia Nan breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was no need to go to Wenhua Palace to report every day, and listened to the court officials quarreled.

With this "Memorial on Two Military Towns in the Peripheral Areas", Jia Nan frowned before he could read it, thinking that this Jiang Zhengluo was not An Sheng's master. He had only driven away the Western Regions coalition forces for a few days and thought about setting up a military town outside the Pass. The north was in a tight military force, and the government did not have enough money to set up a military town. It was really troublesome.

After reading the memorial, Jia Nan pondered his mind and listed the benefits of establishing a military town. The most important thing is that he did not have to pay more money and food in the court, which could not only train troops and make profits. Even with the protection of the military town, the business trips could be 20% more, and the taxes in border cities could be increased.

If someone else said this, Jia Nan would definitely sneer, but Jiang Anyi said this, Jia Nan believed it seventy percent. The reputation of the golden hand was well-deserved. A few days ago, the wife complained that the price of perfume in Beijing had increased by 30%. This small bottle of things is more expensive than gold. Her salary is not enough to buy a few bottles of perfume.

Thinking of the perfume Jia Nan's eyebrows frowned again, he heard rumors that when Jiang Anyi was trapped in Dali Temple, Queen Wang asked to help her, and the price was to ask the Jiang family to give the perfume industry in Beijing to her. It is said that the rumor was that Yu Shangshu's second son Yu Jiale accidentally said it after getting drunk that he used to take care of the perfume shop, but now the Wang family has changed.

Jia Nan had dated Jiang Anyi. In his heart, Jiang Anyi was a capable minister and a minister. He was ordered to go to Huazhou in the face of danger and drove away the Western Regions coalition forces in less than three months. Such people were clearly national sages. It is a pity that the prince and the queen were short-sighted and actually greedy for the benefits of perfume to do things that made Jiang Anyi feel distraught. It would be better if the emperor was not sick. Thinking of the fact that the prince in the court had a great fight with King An of Chu, Jia Nan sighed "ah" and said, "The country is in trouble."

After reading the official documents at hand, I picked out the important ones, and took them to the official Ding Shangshu Party together with the article "Requesting Two Military Towns to Settlement Outside the Pass". Ding Dawei has returned from the Zichen Palace to discuss politics. The government is full of people reporting on matters. Zhenbeicheng is fighting with the people of the desert. The Ministry of War is in charge of the selection of military generals, military registration, military orders, military mobilization, defense change, rest and other matters. He also needs to coordinate with the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works and other matters of money, grain and military equipment. At present, the Ministry of War is the busiest yamen.

Jia Nan waited for a stick of incense, and everyone who reported the matter left. Ding Dawei saw Jia Nan and smiled bitterly: "Fatty Jia, I finally know why you lost ten pounds. I was so busy that I was dizzy. After the north was stable, I beg for the emperor to return. The Ministry of War will rely on you to support me in the future."

Jia Nan laughed and said, "I am not yet sixty years old, and I have to be busy for at least ten years. Is it still a little bit whether my subordinates can survive? The big cake of the Minister of War is better." Ding Dawei smiled and took the official document from Jia Nan, indicating that he would sit down aside.

Ding Dawei read the official documents very quickly. While reading, he picked up his pen and wrote his handling opinions on paper. Several official documents brought by Jia Nan were submitted to the prince and discussed with everyone in Zichen Hall. After reading the "Request for the Establishment of Two Military Towns in the Peripheral Pass", Ding Dawei asked: "Jia Nan, what do you think if you want to establish a military town in Huazhou?"

Jia Nan said: "Mr. Jiang's vision is indeed superior. Setting up a military town outside the pass is equivalent to extending two horns outwards. Advance can attack and retreat or defend. This is a wonderful way to deal with the people of the Western Regions. Moreover, the memorial also mentioned various benefits, which are beneficial to the country, and the officials think it is feasible."

Ding Dawei put down the memorial, stood up and poured a cup of tea for Jia Nan, sighing: "This Jiang Anyi is indeed a talented person. He made many military achievements in Mobei. Recently, he drove away the Western Regions coalition forces and was promoted to the Marquis of Pingshan. It can be judged by his heart that his official position is not as good as him. However, he acted radically and did not leave a way out, which is probably not a long-term way."

There is another saying that Ding Dawei did not say that if the emperor died and replaced the new emperor ascended the throne, Jiang Anyi would probably have difficulty step by step. His perception of Jiang Anyi gradually became better. In his early years, he was fined the emperor for the Liao Jianhui incident at Huangshaguan for half a year. Ding Dawei came from a poor family, and his half-year salary was enough to make him feel unhappy with Jiang Anyi. Later, Jiang Anyi's reputation rose, and everything he did was to be the country and the king. This unhappiness was gradually replaced by admiration.

Jia Nan smiled and said, "Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. Lord Ding presided over the Ministry of War for many years. He has twice fought northern expeditions to resist the invasion of the Western Regions and quelled the unrest, and is inseparable from the master's efforts to plan and strategize."

Ding Dawei said: "Mr. Jia is worthy of being from Guanglu Temple. A mouth can make people coax people to death. I know what I did in my heart, it's just a mix of things."

He pointed to the memorial on the table and said, "Tomorrow I will report to the prince truthfully and let the two prime ministers decide. By the way, Fatty Jia, what if you go to Zichen Palace with me tomorrow?"

Jia Nan shook his head like a rattle and said, "Sir, let me give up on the officials. The court is noisy, so it's better not to be scolded."

Two sighs sounded at the same time.

…………

On the second day, this memorial from Zichen Palace and Huazhou really sparked controversy. Kong Xiang and Ma Xiang had different opinions. Kong Sheng thought that since Huazhou did not use the treasury money and grain, Ma Suizhen believed that setting up a military town in the Gobi Desert would inevitably trigger counter-revolution in the Western Regions. The war recurred, which was not conducive to the country, and it would be necessary to wait until the north was stable before it was discussed.

Shi Chongwei supported his chin with his right hand and listened casually. For more than a month, Zichen Palace has become a vegetable market, making a noise. No wonder his father always said that the emperor was in trouble. His eyes swept across the corner of the hall, and the palace was standing in the shadows to visit the eunuch Lu Mingli. Shortly after his father returned to the palace, he sent him to listen every day. Shi Chongwei knew that the Lu Gonggong would report the important matter and his own situation to his father.

The father's illness is getting worse and worse. Judging from the words revealed by the imperial physician, it is probably difficult to survive this winter. Shi Chongwei can't explain the feeling in his heart: panic, sad, and some unspeakable expectations. His eyes fell on King An of Chu who stood upright on the left. His younger brother was like a sword unsheathed, with an aggressive arrogance, and he faced him in the court.

Shi Chongwei's eyes became colder. He scolded him in the hall several times for being told to his father by Lu Mingli. As a result, his father sent Liu Weiguo to warn himself that there should be no personal grudges in governing the country. I will bear it, and I will settle the score with you when my father and immortal go. On the other side is King Luo Huai. Shi Chongren stands without standing, has a smile on his face, his eyes are circling, and he looks careless and unrelated. Shi Chongwei's heart is secretly angry. People are so strange. He is not happy when Shi Chongjie fights with him, and he is not happy when Shi Chongren and Mingzhe protect him.

"Long live my life, the governor of Bingzhou Quanxingqing reported that Huazhou took advantage of the opportunity to recruit troops to lure the people to join us with small profits. Thousands of people in Bingzhou took their families to Huazhou in the name of recruiting troops. Quanxingqing asked the court to issue an order to prohibit it." Secretary Ji Tianming, the right supervisor of the secretary, heard.

In order to ensure the stability of taxes, the Zheng Dynasty only allowed the people to move within a 100-mile range. If it exceeds a 100-mile range, it is necessary to go to the government to open a road guide. Without a road guide, it cannot pass the checkpoint. If it is found that there is no road guide, it will be taken back to its original home for 40 years. Since Wei Dynasty, the people have been divided into four types: one is immigration, which is the government that moved the people into or resettled in a certain place; the other is refugees, who have left their hometowns for refuge and survival due to disasters or wars, and this time, Huazhou was

When the Western Regions coalition invaded, the people who fled to Bingzhou belonged to this category. The government has the responsibility to resettle and rescue people, and send them back to their hometowns after the disaster or war quelled; third, the people who were vagrants, who were not engaged in agriculture and were idle, and the government forced them to deport or distribute them to the frontier; fourth, the people who were fleeing people, these people were unstable factors, and the government has always suppressed them. The people who were threatened to attack the city in the Yuanhua River collapsed.

These four types of movements will transform each other. Once a large-scale movement of the people occurs, the government will always strictly control it. The court allows the recruitment of soldiers in Anxi, and the Ministry of War approved the documents, so the people can go to the local government to apply for the road to recruit the recruitment. The applicants are young and strong at home. It is normal for the labor force to leave the elderly, young, women and children at home to follow them. Therefore, Quanxingqing cannot force the retaining of people, so they can only ask the court to order the ban.

Shi Chongwei said: "There are only more than 70,000 soldiers in Anxi camp. The court fought with the people of the Mo people in Zhenbei City and had no source of troops to supplement them. Only then would Guan Pingzhong recruit soldiers. The number of people naturally flows. It is not too late to order them after the 160,000 troops are recruited."

Jiang Anyi is a direct bachelor of Chongwenguan and has been a junior secretary of the East Palace. Shi Chongwei looked respectful to his teachers and Taoism in front of others. Jiang Anyi drove away the Western Regions coalition and brought glory to the prince's face. He had more confidence in speaking. Of course, Shi Chongwei had to help with this little busy.

"To establish a military town outside the pass, let Anxi Protectorate and Huazhou do their own jobs. The passage to them states that the court's expenses are tight and there is no money or grain to support it." Shi Chongwei paused and said, "I heard that Huazhou used the captured Western Regions coalition to exchange for 300,000 captured people and 2 million taels of silver. Jiang Qing is a good dealer. The national treasury is empty. In order to drive away the Western Regions coalition court, Huazhou court allowed Huazhou to use the taxes from last year. Now that Huazhou has money, it should return the taxes from last year to the court. Fang Shishu, the governor of Huazhou, asked to exempt Huazhou from the taxes from this year, and let Huazhou pay 3 million taels of taxes to the national treasury this year. If they still have money, they will go with them."

The news that Huazhou was preparing to set up two military towns outside the pass was quickly transferred to the Taiwei Mansion. Taiwei Zhu Wennan was already ill in bed and could not be in charge of the director. The chief Zhu Wenpu looked at the sand table map in front of him. He served as the Grand Governor of Anxi for many years and was very familiar with the terrain of the Gobi Desert. He inserted two flags on the sand table and stared for a long time, saying suspicion: "Jiang Anyi is preparing to expedition the west?"

When Duke Shen’s Mansion, Wang Keming heard the establishment of a military town in Huazhou, looked at the map on the wall and smiled: “Jiang Anyi is interested in expeditioning the west, but unfortunately I am trapped in the mansion, and I don’t know if I can see him showing off his power in the Western Regions.”
