Volume Two, Chapter 73, Getting Some Benefits

After offering prisoner ceremony, Jiajing summoned him. Yang Cong didn't care about his hard work, so he immediately followed the eunuch who had sent the order to the Ganqing Palace.

After the monarch and ministers greeted each other, Jiajing couldn't wait to ask: "Qingfeng, I want to wipe out the Tartars and recover Hetao. Do you have any good plans?"

This time, the Tartars really angered him.

The Tartars actually dared to attack Jizhou Town and threaten the capital, which was outrageous!

Do you think I am made of mud?

Such a thing must be retaliated against, otherwise how can the Ming Dynasty be faced?

Of course, the reason why he is so confident is entirely because Yang Cong is there.

In history, Altan Khan also led his army to Jizhou Town. At that time, the power of the court was completely controlled by Yan Song, and the military power was all under the hands of the Hou Qiu Luan of Xianning. The two treacherous liars of literature and military affairs simply threw away the Ming Dynasty!

Altan Khan fought from Jizhou Town to the capital of Daming without any effort. Not only did he robbed him quickly, but he also threatened Jiajing, "I will give me coins and give me tribute to me, and I will rescue you. If you don't have a chance to be a god!"

This means that the Ming Dynasty not only wanted to open the Ma Market, but also gave him money. Otherwise, he would go to the capital every year to rob him!

At that time, Jiajing didn't have the confidence at this moment, because the Xianning Hou Qiuluan could not beat Altan Khan at all. In desperation, he had no choice but to adopt the suggestion of the treacherous minister Yan Song and agreed to open the horse market. Altan Khan then led his army to retreat.

It can be said that he was slapped in the face by someone's neck and slapped hard, and in the end he didn't even dare to give a fart.

It was different now. With the advantage of the firearm, Yang Cong beat Altan to sweat and urinated. He did not lose his face at all, and his waist was straight.

Altan Khan, you are so naive. You dare to come to the capital to act wildly. If I don’t deal with you, you really think the Ming Dynasty is easy to bully.

At this moment, his confidence is really extraordinary, because Yang Cong can help him deal with the Tartars!

Throughout history, from a country to a company, this has been the case. One of the most important basic qualities of being a king or a boss is to employ people.

If you can be down-to-earth and appoint talents, you will naturally be invincible.

If you only know how to make your ears comfortable and use those flattering people to make cheating, then the country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed, and it will not be long!

Of course, the emperor Jiajing is an exception. He uses people like a draw, and uses treacherous and virtuous people. If he doesn't suffer any hardship, he won't know how to turn back.

For example, in history, he was fooled by Yan Song for more than 20 years. When he was about to die, he suddenly realized, rubbed Yan Song and replaced him with Xu Jie.

The same is true at this moment. The scandal of the Queen Qiuluan of Xianning who colluded with the enemy and stolen the country was exposed. He suddenly realized and turned around to reuse Yang Cong.

In this world, there are often no medicine for regret. Once you take a wrong step, you may be doomed.

He is quite lucky, and someone always comes to wipe his butt.

Yang Cong was speechless when facing the sloppy man in front of him.

You guys just need to deal with it. Zeng Xian wanted to recover Hetao, but you believed in slander and cut him off for no reason. Now, you are thinking about regaining Hetao, a problem!

As for regaining Hetao, he naturally has a way.

However, he could not make Jiajing think that this matter was too simple and too easy.

If Jiajing thinks it is easy to recover Hetao, then he will not get any benefits.

He thought about it and then pretended to be embarrassed: "Master, the recovery of Hetao is different from repelling the Tartars. The so-called right time, place and people, the reason why the Tartars were easily repelled this time was mainly because they were not familiar with the place and could not find out our background, so they suffered a great loss. The Hetao is different again. The Tartars have been operating there for many years, but we are a little unfamiliar with the place. It may be difficult to recover."

Jiajing is understandable. If it were not difficult, Hetao would have been recovered long ago.

He nodded slowly and said, "I know all these, but the Tartars have caused trouble to the northwest for many years. This time, they come to the capital to act wildly. If they don't take this opportunity to deal with it, they will probably go to heaven in the future."

Just know, Yang Cong continued to pretend to be in a bad mood: "Master, the Tartars have a strong military force, and without more than 100,000 troops, it may be difficult to drive them out of Hetao."

Upon hearing this, Jiajing nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, you can handle this recruitment matter with all your power. You can recruit as many people as you need."

Damn, is it not a good idea to summon the Tunwei to fight?

Yang Cong is rich, but this time, he doesn't want to be this sucker because he wants to take the opportunity to deal with Yan Maoqing, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing.

He pretended to think about it, and then reminded: "Your Majesty, this food and salary? More than 100,000 people need hundreds of thousands of taels per month. The recovery of Hetao is not a day or a month. The food and salary required is not a little bit."

When Jiajing heard this, his face turned red. He subconsciously thought that Yang Cong did not need food and salary when fighting, and he never thought about how terrifying the food and salary for more than 100,000 people were.

It's hundreds of thousands of taels a month, but it's millions of taels a year. It's really too exaggerated to let Yang Cong pay all of them.

He also knew that Yang Cong's family had money, but he believed that it would be good if the Yang family could get a profit of about one million taels a year.

The food and salary of the northwest border troops have always been allocated by the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue. Although the food and salary of more than 100,000 people is a bit exaggerated, it should be no problem for the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue to last for one or two years.

At least, Jiajing thought so.

He said a little embarrassedly: "I will instruct Nanjing Ministry of Revenue to do my best to allocate the food and salary matters, don't worry."

rest assured?

It would be strange if I could rest assured.

Yang Cong pretended to be embarrassed again: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being brave. This kind of thing is really unreliable. Zeng Xin taught me a lesson before. I am really afraid that Nanjing Ministry of Revenue will try my best to shirk responsibility or even fake official documents to deceive the emperor."

this.

Jiajing was actually a little clear at this moment. What Zeng Xian said at the beginning was that it was probably true that he had not received enough food and salary, because the matter of Hou Qiuluan in Xianning had already alerted him. These corrupt officials were not unable to do anything that deceived the emperor and the emperor for their own selfish interests.

He thought for a while, then pondered and said, "Let me do this, I will send the central palace to supervise. The allocation of food and wages requires his signature to confirm. What do you think?"

Damn it, do you think eunuchs are not greedy?

If the eunuch becomes greedy, it is even more terrifying than a civil servant.

However, he also knew Jiajing's temperament. This guy is a stubborn donkey. You can't go against him. You have to go down the road.

Yang Cong said carefully: "This is a daring thing for me to ask Li Fang and Eunuch Li to supervise the food and wages? Eunuch Li also supervised the mines in Shanxi, so he was still quite fair in his work."

Just Li Fang, let Li Fang, Jiajing also admires Li Fang more. He nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, let Li Fang supervise you food and salary."

Yang Cong then said carefully: "Emperor, this is leading more than 100,000 troops to fight, and there are many trivial matters. I am afraid that I cannot take care of everything, so I want to ask the emperor to transfer a few people to help."

Jiajing said without hesitation: "Who do you want to help?"

Yang Cong still pretended to be careful: "I want to ask the emperor to move Hu Zongxian to the governor of Shanxi, and Tang Shunzhi to the governor of Shaanxi, and assist the minister in coordinating military and political affairs. In addition, I also want to ask the emperor to promote Yu Dayou and Tang Kekuan to the right governor of the Governor of the Five Army, responsible for military affairs in Shanxi and Shaanxi respectively. Also, if possible, I want to ask the emperor to promote Yang Weicong and Xu Jie to the governors, responsible for government affairs in Shanxi and Shaanxi respectively."

You boy, is this going to be the local emperor in the northwest?
