Cutting 1719

Chapter 540
The roar of gunfire was endless, but at this time the handsome tent was as quiet as water. Almost everyone looked at Sun Jiagan in silence, as if they were relying on this invisible pressure to overwhelm the opponent's arrogance.

Tuxietu Khan Wang Zaledorji's face was even more gloomy, as if water was about to drip. He looked at Sun Jiagan coldly, and after a long time, as if his face changed, he cupped his hands with a wry smile and said, "Mr. I have offended you, sir, forgive me."

Sun Jiagan no longer had the arrogant expression just now, but smiled and said: "Khan, you are being polite, Sun also has some impulsiveness, since everyone can talk about it, then we can talk about the following things."

As the attitudes of the two eased, the atmosphere in the big tent also eased instantly. Dashton Dobu hurriedly ordered the servants to bring up a roasted whole lamb that was roasted golden yellow. The grease that was about to drip from the top made everyone's hearts move.

Sun Jiagan was amused in his heart. He ate dry naan when he was not waiting to be seen, but now he ate roasted whole lamb when he asked for help. This shows that the Mongols are not really simple and honest people, and their skills in adapting to the wind are not bad.

Tushetuhan pulled out the small silver knife at his waist, cut off a piece of lamb leg, put it on the silver plate in front of Sun Jiagan, and said with a smile: "Mr. It’s just that even if my Tushetu Khan, Chechen Khan and Zasak Tu Khan want to join Dachu, they still have to pay a price, right?”

"Everything is like the old practices of the tribes in Monan."

Sun Jiagan's face was very calm, and he uttered a word softly.

"boom--"

Tuxietuhan stabbed the silver knife hard on the leg of lamb. Due to the excessive force, there was a sound of collision between the silver plate and the table. He stared at Sun Jiagan with a murderous look in his eyes.

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly changed, and the rest of the Mongols also glared at Sun Jiagan. Some people even put their hands on the handle of the knife, waiting for the order of the sweat, and beheaded the damned Han.

Sun Jiagan didn't show any emotion on his face, he just grabbed the mutton under Tuxie Tuhan's silver knife, put it in his mouth, chewed the mutton with big mouthfuls, and said with a smile: "Since there is good meat, how can there be no good wine?"

"Come here, serve Mr. Sun a pot of stuffed donkeys. Ben Dahan wants to drink with Mr. Sun."

Tuxietuhan waved his hand, but he lost his murderous intent, and instead played jokes on Sun Jiagan.

From time to time, someone would bring a jar of wine, with a mud seal on it, and you could smell a strong aroma of the wine before approaching it. This so-called Mendao Donkey Wine is actually the white wine brewed in Monan Mongolia. It is said that It appeared as early as the Wanli period. Because of the strong aroma of the wine, the donkey in the downtown area was drunk and lying down secretly, making a loud noise, and was teased by a scholar. .

Although the name is very rough, Sun Jiagan also tasted this kind of wine in Shanxi. He knew that the wine was quite strong, and he knew that Tuxietu Khan deliberately wanted to laugh at him. Dare not to follow, just ask Da Khan to know that Sun Mou is fine when he is drunk, but Da Khan will delay the big event if he is drunk."

Tuxietuhan sneered, and asked someone to open the mud seal, poured the wine into the bowls of the two, and drank a bowl each, but the two of them were the same generation, so there was no change.

"Mr. Sun, Mobei is no better than Monan. Even Lord Kangxi never turned my Khalkha trilogy into his Qing dog. Today, Mr. Sun, could it be that he wants to make Ben Khan Follow the old example in Monan?"

Sun Jiagan sighed softly, "Khan, Sun certainly didn't just come with lip service, but also with His Majesty's sincerity."

Before he could finish speaking, Sun Jiagan took out a brochure from his pocket. On the cover was written "Programme for the Ministries of Monan to Guarantee Production, Revitalize Commerce and Trade and Promote Development", which was obviously part of the policy adopted by the tribes of Monan back then. A text version of the description, of course, all are translated from Mongolian.

Tuxietuhan took the paper, opened it and read it carefully, but his expression became more and more unpredictable during the process of reading, and he remained silent for a long time at the end.

"Khan, what did His Majesty Chu say?" Seeing Tuxietu Khan's silence, Dashdun Dobu hurriedly asked. It was obvious that everyone in the tent was tickled by this letter.

Tushetuhan didn't care, and handed the excerpt directly to Dashtundob. After reading the excerpt, he also had a complicated face, and then handed it to other people. , When he saw the so-called policy of stopping nomadism, he roared loudly: "What? Let us respect him as the Great Khan of All Mongolia, and stop nomadism?"

Sun Jiagan said as it should: "That's true."

"Leng-"

Seeing Sun Jiagan's confession, the Mongolian prince pulled out the scimitar from his waist, put it on Sun Jiagan's neck, and said with a sneer, "In that case, I'll take a look at your head and send it to your Mongolian Khan! "

"Montuge, stop!"

Tuxie Tuhan had a look of anxiety on his face. He didn't dare to let Sun Jiagan be killed. Otherwise, Emperor Ningchu would attack Khalkha from the rear in a rage, but the current three departments could not easily resist it. that's it.

At the moment when the scimitar was approaching his neck, Sun Jiagan was not afraid at all. If he was really afraid, he would not allow Ning Zhongyi to come to Mobei. For a Confucian scholar-bureaucrat like him, death is not the way back, but a kind of The performance of dying well, especially dying for the country, is an honor that will shine through the ages.

Thinking of being famous in history and admired by thousands of people in the future, Sun Jiagan is not only not afraid of death, but looks at Montuji with provocative eyes, which is quite obvious.

come!Kind of kills me!

After all, Montuji is also a hot-blooded man, how could he be provoked like this?He didn't care about it at the moment, and swung the machete, ready to chop off Sun Jiagan's head.

At this critical moment, Dashton Dobu quickly swung his knife to block Montuji's knife, and then angrily said: "The Khan told you to stop, how dare you do that? You still don't back down!"

Montuji glared at Sun Jiagan for a while, then snorted coldly, put the scimitar back into its sheath, and left the tent.

Sun Jiagan smacked his lips, as if he was more or less disappointed, and stopped provoking, but said very sincerely: "Everyone should read it first, and then we will talk about it."

After such a turmoil, other people also looked at it one by one. Because of Montuji's precedent, no one made any more troubles, while Tushetuhan kept watching with cold eyes and did not express any opinions. .

Dash Dunduobu took the lead and said: "Your envoy does not know that the systems of our Mobei Mongolia and Monan Mongolia have always been different. Monan has the inland aid and can carry out the policy of stopping nomadism and promoting business, but our Mobei Mongolia It is even more desolate and remote, and even ordinary businessmen will not come here, if they are not nomadic, I am afraid that everyone will starve to death."

Sun Jiagan also considered this issue before he came, and then he smiled and said: "Stopping nomadic herding is not a matter of overnight, according to His Majesty's plan, after Monan completely stops nomadic herding and reforms into counties and counties, Mobei Mongolia will start. It takes at least ten years or so to stop nomadism."

"In the past ten years, you can also look at the changes in Monan Mongolia, especially the living standards of their people, which must be more than doubled than now. I dare not say anything else. At least starting this year, Monan Mongolia I will never starve to death again because of the white calamity."

Hearing Sun Jiagan's words, the people in the tent began to whisper. You must know that among the Mongolian tribes, the white disaster is no different. It is a real catastrophe. Whether it is people or livestock, a large number of people will die in the white disaster. .

Generally speaking, on the Mongolian grasslands, white disasters may occur every year from October to May of the following year. If it is just an ordinary heavy snow, the livestock may still break through the snow layer to eat pasture. When the temperature cools down after warming, a layer of ice shells will easily form. Not only will the livestock not be able to eat grass, but they will also be easily scratched by the ice shells, and they will easily starve to death.

In the tribe, livestock is the most important productive force. The big guys usually eat goat milk or cow milk, and it is impossible to slaughter livestock in their spare time. Even a character like Khan will not eat roast whole sheep.

However, when the snow disaster comes, a large number of livestock will die, which will lead to the population not having enough cow and goat milk and its auxiliary food supply, and will also be starved to death in this season. It can be said that every time a white disaster comes, the tribe will decrease A large population.

Tushetu Khan also understood this truth, so he couldn't believe what Sun Jiagan said, so he could only sigh: "Mr. Da Chu, it’s just that you’re talking empty words right now, how can you convince others?”

Sun Jiagan smiled slightly, "How about this, Sun made an agreement with Da Khan that after Sun returned to the court, he would personally ask His Majesty for reinforcements for Da Khan, and Da Khan waited until next year, and then looked at the tribes in the south of the desert this year. Will there be people who starve to death, if not, then the Great Khan will immediately accept my Da Chu's request, and if there are people who starve to death, follow the old practice and give the Great Khan the title of Zasak, how about it?"

Seeing Sun Jiagan's confident face, Tuxietuhan really hesitated at the moment, but he would not lose out on this bet no matter what, so he immediately agreed: "Okay, if it is true, not only me The Tushetu Khan is willing to listen to His Majesty, and even the Zasaktu Khan and Chechen Khan are willing to persuade His Majesty."

"Okay, then it's settled!"

Tuxietuhan cut his palm with a silver knife with a smile, dripped blood into the wine bowl, then handed the silver knife to Sun Jiagan, looking at him with a smile on his face.

Sun Jiagan took the silver knife, but he was embarrassed. Although he is not afraid of death as a scholar, he is afraid of pain. He just looked at the smile on Tushetuhan's face, so he had to feel embarrassed and cut his finger lightly with the knife. , and dropped a few drops of blood into the wine bowl, the bright red blood rose and fell in the wine.

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

Nanjing City, Fengtian Temple, and the Grand Court Meeting.

For the officials of Ningchu, today's grand court meeting is naturally the most important court meeting since the beginning of the year, because this year is the first year that the Jingcha system has been fully implemented. He is also the elder brother of Jiangxi chief envoy Xue Haifeng.

The two brothers of the Xue family have made considerable contributions in the previous major gentry imperial examination case. Among them, Xue Haifeng successfully replaced Qing Fengzhi as Jiangxi Zuobu Zhengshi, and Xue Haiyun got the emperor's approval when he presided over the investigation in Beijing. Appreciation, he successfully took over Li Fu's position as the censor of Zuodu.

This time, Xue Haiyun, the new censor of the left capital, took the lead in launching an attack on multiple power departments of the Executive Yuan in order to start the battle of Beijing and Cha. The main crime was corruption, and an anti-corruption storm began to gradually blow over the entire court.

For a while, the struggle surrounding the Jingchao incident gradually expanded to the political aspect of the imperial court. Like today's Grand Court Assembly, the cabinet and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will start a confrontation over these Jingchao lists and corruption cases. Almost all of them represent Most of the different forces hope to benefit from this struggle.

After a few clean whips sounded, Ning Yu, escorted by the female officials, walked to the throne on Fengtian Hall, quietly looking at the courtiers below.

"If you have something to play early, if you have nothing to go back to the court."

Generally speaking, there are no meetings at the Great Court Meeting, but everyone knows today that the cabinet and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will make a clear distinction around the Jingchao, so someone will soon make a presentation, but it is just quietly watch.

"The minister has played."

Sure enough, Lin Yufeng, the right deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, fired the first shot decisively. He was a middle-aged man in his early forties. It has already been released, please Your Majesty to make a final review."

Ning Yu nodded lightly. He knew that Lin Yufeng was Xue Haiyun's confidant who was promoted all the way up. Feng' is Hai Rui's nickname, and it's not a title that ordinary people can afford.

Thinking of this, Ning Yu glanced at Lin Yufeng, and then looked at the memorial that had already been laid out, only to see that the many evaluations written on it were extremely spicy, and most of them only got middle and lower, like lower middle and lower There is no shortage of people at the top, and there are several people at the bottom.

In the end, Zhongping, Zhongshang, and Shangshang are very few, and they can be counted clearly with two hands, while Shangzhong has none. As for Shangshang, according to the usual practice, they will not be awarded to ministers, so it is normal that they do not have them.

According to the practice of Ming and Qing Dynasties, the method of Jingcha is usually investigated with "four grids" and "eight methods". The so-called four grids refer to shou, politics, talent, and year. Those listed in the first class will have the priority to be promoted to foreign officials.Among them, Xiangshou represents integrity and is divided into honesty, peace and corruption; Zheng represents government affairs and is divided into diligence, peace and slack; talent is divided into long, flat and short;

As for the so-called "Eight Laws", it refers to greed, coolness, inaction, imprudence, old age, illness, impetuousness, and weak talents. Those who violate the "Eight Laws" will be punished by questioning, dismissal or demotion. The old and the sick retire.

Since the Beijing inspection system basically existed in name only during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Ning Yu did not choose this method to inspect officials, but to check and approve officials according to the full examination method. Candidates have the right to be promoted to the official examination.

Of course, the Beijing inspections are all aimed at officials of the sixth rank and above. As for officials below the sixth rank, they will be handed over to the provincial capital procuratorate for external inspection.

Therefore, if it is handled according to the Jingcha in front of Ning Yu, a large number of officials above the sixth rank in Ningchu will be eliminated.
