Cui Jingrong's words made Zhu Youxiao extremely embarrassed, but Zhu Youxiao was extremely cunning. After coughing twice, he replied: "Cui Aiqing's words seem reasonable. But since ancient times, war is an extension of politics. Why did the Jurchens and Mongolia fight? The Jurchens were unable to make progress in Liaodong and marched towards Mongolia in order to ensure their strategic space. The Mongolian tribes looked iron-clad on the outside, but in fact, the internal differences were very large. From the fact that the Jurchens could form an alliance with the Korqin tribe and the Zarut tribe, it could be seen that their fragility was obvious! If the Aiqing gave up his efforts when he saw that there were many difficulties here, it was a big mistake. Why did King Fu's rebellion be resolved so easily? It was not the betrayal of King Fu's confidant Liu Sangdu. I don't believe that the Jurchens and Mongolia are just airtight!"

Cui Jingrong saw that Zhu Youxiao was a big talk. The Ministry of War's disagreement plan for the use of Jurchens and Mongolia was useless at all. The Jurchens and Mongolians could stand around the Ming Dynasty without falling, so they naturally had their strengths. If it were solved as easily as Zhu Youxiao, it would have been dealt with by the emperor before the Ming Dynasty.

Cui Jingrong knew that this problem was uninteresting with Zhu Youxiao. The rumors among the people are now magical. The constant appearance of novel things made the people of the Ming Dynasty dazzling. Of course, all the magic was added to Zhu Youxiao's halo. Zhu Youxiao, who was at the top of the Ming Dynasty pyramid, was a very strange figure in the eyes of all officials in the court. On the one hand, Zhu Youxiao was a relatively gentle emperor, sometimes even a little weak. On the other hand, Zhu Youxiao was an emperor who was not bound by the ancestral system and did not adhere to secular constraints. Sometimes he was even very willful. On the one hand, Zhu Youxiao was

A harsh and cruel emperor sometimes even a little cold-blooded. On the other hand, Zhu Youxiao was an emperor who emphasized rules, and sometimes even a little persistent. On the one hand, Zhu Youxiao was a knowledgeable emperor, and sometimes even proposed something incredible. On the other hand, Zhu Youxiao was a boastful emperor, and sometimes even said something ridiculous. At this moment, Zhu Youxiao's appearance was the last one. For example, the cabinet and the court officials from the six ministries who often met Zhu Youxiao were well aware of Zhu Youxiao's character. These officials who welcomed the favor were naturally very comfortable with this situation.

"Return to the emperor, Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong governor, had been planning this matter for a long time. Mongolia was famine last year, and this year it was even more terrible. Therefore, the herders of a huge number of Mongolian tribes fled to Liaodong, our Ming Dynasty. Liaodong had been in war for a long time and there were countless barren lands. So Lord Xiong arranged a large number of refugees to farm in Liaodong, especially along the areas from Liaoyang to Shanhaiguan. More than 30,000 herders who defected to these Mongolian tribes were scattered into farms in various parts of Liaodong!"

Zhu Youxiao suddenly interrupted Cui Jingrong and said, "When it comes to this matter, I have something to say. I also know that the famine in Mongolia has become more and more serious since last year. Even the Jurchens have begun to be tight in food. According to my opinion, there are several reasons for the famine last year. The most important one is the dry climate. Due to the lack of rain in Mongolia, the forage crops have failed, and the cattle and sheep have no food. This has caused a chain reaction, which has caused such a famine. In fact, drought is not terrible, but terrible is not preparation. Now that I have been fighting for many years in the Ming Dynasty, the annual income of the national treasury has become military expenditure, and it is squandered on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty. Because of these, the development of water conservancy has been delayed a lot. Now many embankments of many rivers have been in disrepair and are at risk of breaking the dam at any time. The irrigation canals are also blocked. How is the Ministry of Works dealing with this matter!"

This is Zhu Youxiao's characteristic. Every time he speaks halfway, he runs off topic and runs 100,800 miles, which makes people at a loss. Cui Jingrong just said a few words and was left aside by Zhu Youxiao, but Zhu Youxiao started talking to the Minister of Works.

Wang Zuo said that he was quite old. Just now, Zhu Youxiao and all the ministers, especially Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi, were very happy, and had little to do with Wang Zuo. Wang Zuo had long been a little depressed. At this moment, when Zhu Youxiao suddenly called his name, he hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, the Yellow River is the main source of the floods in the Ming Dynasty, but the Yellow River is governed every year and breaking the dam every year. The reason is that the annual governance is repaired!"

"Okay! I didn't listen to you about something irrelevant. Water control is a major event that benefits my descendants. I don't want to listen to your explanation. No matter what, I will hand over the plan to control the Yellow River within one month. Collect hydrological data from various rivers during the autumn flood season, and combine the previous plan to prepare for overhaul of water conservancy during the winter break. The whole process is like this. As for the details, you can go back and think about it yourself. If there are no officials who can control the water, they will be recruited from the private sector. The Anti-corruption Bureau is preparing to enter the Ministry of Industry tomorrow to verify the income and expenditure of the Ministry of Industry. Don't think that I don't know anything. So many silvers go there every year. If those silvers are implemented, will I still need water control now?"

After saying that, he stared at Wang Zuo fiercely. Although the Ministry of Works is not the richest and most powerful department in the court, the Minister of Works is also ranked behind in the six ministries, but the Ministry of Works is the richest among the six ministries. Zhu Youxiao did this to remind those corrupt officials. Since the Anti-corruption Bureau killed a group of corrupt officials, the officials in the court have been honest for a while, but they can't change their shit. Just a few months have passed, and the limelight has just passed, and these people's hands have become disobedient again.

When Yang Lian heard the news, he was happy and immediately appeared on his face. The Anti-Corruption Bureau seemed to have endless power, but in fact it was just a political tool of Zhu Youxiao. After all, in the Ming Dynasty society, all officials were corrupt. If the Anti-Corruption Bureau investigated everything, would there be someone working for Zhu Youxiao? Therefore, the Anti-Corruption Bureau's work goal was to become a signboard for Zhu Youxiao's goal of rectification. Obviously, the Ministry of Works entered Zhu Youxiao's legal eye again this time.

"Cui Aiqing continued to agree!" Zhu Youxiao simply handled another matter, remembering that Cui Jingrong was still standing aside and not finished speaking.

Cui Jingrong saw this situation and knew that Zhu Youxiao was unintentional to listen to his words, so he simply said simply: "Emperor, the relationship between the Jurchens and Mongolia in Liaodong is really complicated. Weichen didn't know where to start for a while. Why don't Weichen and wait and then submit a memorial to the emperor after he went back and describe the situation in detail. The details will be asked in detail next time!"

Zhu Youxiao felt that it was OK when he heard this. He was not very clear about these things. Today he was already a little shameful. If he continued, he would be a bully. Why not find some staff to refer to it and replied: "Okay, I will agree to Cui Aiqing. I know Cui Aiqing thinks that I don't understand military affairs. To be honest, the most I do is to use muskets to shoot targets in the palace. If I go to the battlefield, I will definitely be defeated. Marines and wars are not my strengths, but if I think I don't understand military affairs, I will be perfunctory, and I will not spare me!"

Then he said, "Dear friends, I'll be here today. I'm a little tired. You guys should all retreat, but you must remember, don't forget my instructions!" After that, he got up and left.

…………

A gong suddenly sounded in an inn in Tianjin. Then the gate of the inn opened. First, a team of soap lilies holding a "silent" and "avoidance" tokens came out one after another, followed by a group of fifty soldiers, followed by seven or eight new carriages, followed by a carriage of various tributes shipped by cars, and finally a group of two hundred soldiers.

Li Haizan looked at the carriage sitting curiously. This carriage was produced by the carriage factory in Xiatianxing. It was specially customized by the Ministry of Rites and was specially used to pick up and drop off foreign guests. Therefore, in addition to the characteristics of half of the carriage, its interior decoration is also very luxurious. For North Korea, which is located in a corner, this carriage is a real thing.

"The things from the Ming Dynasty are indeed good, but when I came ten years ago, there was no such carriage in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, we all rode into the capital of the Ming Dynasty in sedan chairs or rode horses!" Li Haizan praised this carriage very much.

"My Lord, I came to the Ming Dynasty when Emperor Ming ascended the throne last year, but there was no such carriage at that time. It seems that everything has only been recently!" Li Haizan was the leader of the North Korean mission, while the other person in the carriage was Li Yuanze, the second-ranked person of the mission.

Li Haizan arrived in the Ming Dynasty by sea in the middle of the night before. When he arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he rested in the Tianjin post station for a day. At the same time, he was waiting for the greeting troops sent by the Ming Dynasty to pick up and drop off the North Korean mission into Beijing. Therefore, he arrived in the Ming Dynasty at any time but was always restricted to the post station and was not allowed to go out casually. So today is the first time I have seen and taken the carriage.

Li Haizan opened the curtain on the carriage and looked out, but was shocked. It turned out that the street was full of carriages like himself. Regarding the price of this carriage, Li Haizan just asked the soldiers at the post station in the morning. A carriage costs about 80 taels. In this way, the wealthy people in the Ming Dynasty were really rare, not to mention that this was just a port in the Ming Dynasty.
