Chapter 43
The scholar Xie, who was in the limelight, asked Xu Jingchang to go home to water and fertilize. Facing the sea, the spring flowers bloomed, and all the scholars in the cabinet were frightened.

As the emperor's close ministers, the ministers should respect them a little bit.No one can do anything to them unless Zhu Di asks the crime.It is also the meaning of the emperor to enter the General Administration Department and take power.

But who would have thought that Xu Jingchang's counterattack was so fierce that he directly disabled Xie Jin and incidentally provoked the dissatisfaction of the civil and military officials with the cabinet.

At this moment, Yang Rong and the others understood that although they had only one sun above their heads, there was still a dark cloud covering them called Xu Jingchang.

And this group of Hanlin Ci officials also realized one thing, in this Great Ming Dynasty Hall, if you don't do the right thing, you can get everything right.

It is also necessary to coordinate with all parties and exchange interests.

Only when everyone agrees, at least without restraint, can there be any hope of success.

Otherwise, no matter how good the recruiting is, if it touches the root of the general's honor, they will fight back without hesitation.

After this battle, the Secretary of General Administration has calmed down.

Yang Rong and the others restrained their sharpness, led by Xu Jingchang everywhere, reported and asked for instructions, and did not dare to neglect at all.

"Your Highness, do you think the trick I taught you is fun?" Xu Jingchang crossed his legs and said with a smile.

Zhu Zhanji held the grasshopper cage, his small black eyes turned from time to time, and suddenly said: "Cousin, didn't you say that you will go to work when you take back the power of the General Secretary, and you want to give me everything in this house?" ! Why don't you go?"

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids, "Did I say that?"

"You want to lie? I'm going to find the emperor's grandmother!" The little guy immediately stared and said: "The emperor praised you, but I didn't say a word. You have a bad stomach, you are not an honest person, you, you are a villain!"

Xu Jingchang glared at him, "You are not as tall as my legs! It is clear at a glance which of us is a villain."

With that said, Xu Jingchang stood up, walked to Zhu Zhanji's side, stretched out his hand, and lifted the little guy up, "Come on, come out with me, I'll teach you the second level of mind."

Xu Jingchang grabbed Zhu Zhanji, pretended to be a little swallow flying, and happily got into the carriage.

They came out of Xu Mansion and went to the Ministry of War first.

Zhu Zhanji was born in the Prince's Mansion of Beiping. Although as the former capital of the former dynasty, Beiping's layout is far better than that of ordinary cities, but it is incomparable with Yingtian.

The streets are spacious, the buildings are majestic, there are endless streams of carriages and pedestrians.

Zhu Zhanji opened the car window and looked outside. The more he looked at it, the more novel and interesting he found it. Gradually, the grasshopper cage in his hand fell out, and he didn't even notice it.

Xu Jingchang snorted, "You little bastard, you're also a guy who loves the new and dislikes the old. When your father comes to Beijing, let him discipline you well."

Zhu Zhanji was not afraid, and proudly said: "My father said that he would not dare to control me if he wants me to please the emperor's grandfather and grandmother... By the way, uncle, do you know how to please the emperor's grandfather?"

Xu Jingchang smiled slightly, "Your grandpa wants to do big things the most, and doing big things will cost a lot of money, so as long as you can get money, your grandpa will be happy."

"Get money? How to get money?" The little guy stared at Xu Jingchang.

"It's very simple, just follow me and watch carefully."

The carriage stopped, Xu Jingchang jumped down from above, picked up Zhu Zhanji casually, and went directly into the lobby of the Ministry of War without any name cards.

Xu Tongzheng brought the emperor's grandson to visit, who would dare to neglect?

Shangshu Liu Jun greeted him personally, with a little guilt on his face.

After sitting down, Liu Jun said: "Xu Tongzheng, Xie Jin's troubles caused you to be removed from the title of Prince and Taibao. I am really sorry. You know me. I have always admired the Xu family, and I know Tongzheng is a man. , I look forward to getting closer and closer."

Xu Jingchang smiled, "It doesn't matter, no one will take my official position seriously. Maybe during the New Year's birthday, if His Majesty is happy, he will return it to me. Even if I don't return it, I will still be Marquis of Wuyang, and my salary will not be delayed."

Liu Jun was slightly taken aback, then smiled wryly.Indeed, the young man in front of him is truly blessed and unparalleled.

Huaixi Xungui is headed by the Xu family, and Jing Nan Xungui cannot ignore the Xu family.

Among the military officials, the Xu family has a superior status, and among the civil servants, there is also No. [-] Xu Jingchang.

You will find that this is a character standing on Daming's prostate.

Stand out and be different.

"Xu Tongzheng is open-minded and sees things clearly. I'm all over my body...By the way, Xu Tongzheng is here, is there something to do?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "It's nothing important, but the emperor's grandson has entered the capital and lives in my house, leading him around, making him familiar... By the way, let's chat a few words and see how the government will deal with it next. Liu Shang Shu, I have a few simple questions, you can answer them casually."

Liu Jun nodded, "Okay, I know everything without saying anything."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "It doesn't need to be so complicated, it's just a simple right or wrong... The first question I want to ask is whether Liu Shangshu thinks that young and strong people can't just idle around?"

"It's natural." Liu Jun nodded.

"Then Liu Shangshu thinks it's time to find a safe livelihood for young people?"

"That's right, homeless people have always been a serious problem for the imperial court."

"Liu Shangshu thinks that after the battle of Jingnan, after four years, is it because the military system collapsed and the military households fled?"

"Well, that's true." Liu Jun continued to nod.

"Then Liu Shangshu must agree to recruit young refugees to join the army, so the dilemma is solved?"

"I..." Liu Jun was dumbfounded for a moment.

Xu Jingchang smiled and asked, "Does Liu Shangshu agree? Please answer."

Liu Jun's old face darkened, and he couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Xu Tongzheng, I agreed to the first few questions, and I can't disagree with the last one... But you also know that this matter destroys the ancestral system. Military Governor's Mansion, if no one agrees to this matter, don't embarrass me."

Xu Jingchang also laughed, "Liu Shangshu, it's actually not that complicated, as long as you don't call soldiers."

"Isn't it called a soldier? What's that called?" Liu Jun asked curiously.

"Reserves."

Liu Jun was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Are reserve soldiers not soldiers?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Anyway, as long as you don't join the army, you're not considered a soldier, right?"

Liu Jun frowned, nodded and said, "It seems reasonable, but Xu Tongzheng, what are you going to do with such great effort?"

Xu Jingchang smiled, "What I mean is very simple. It is to recruit a group of young men, and gather them together first. These people can work, can join the army, and can be sent to the yamen below as servants, so they will be servants. In a word, It is necessary to control people. In this way, there will be no idlers in the city, and the court will have available talents if it wants to do things. It is also a great achievement for us to get things done quickly with His Majesty's decree."

Liu Jun thought seriously, "Xu Tongzheng, your method is really good, I'm afraid the Ministry of War can't do it by itself!"

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Of course it's not just the Ministry of War. I came here to ask for an establishment similar to military households. I also want a few school yards, which can train young and strong people and arrange accommodation for them. I also ask Liu Shangshu to make a difference and cooperate. one time."

Liu Jun smiled, and said bluntly: "Success, as long as the ancestral system of military households is not involved, I will definitely help."

Xu Jingchang quickly thanked him, and then he came out of the military department, took Zhu Zhanji, and went to the household department.

"Does Xia Shangshu think that Taizu's method of raising troops in the fields is very good?"

"Yes!"

"Then Xia Shangshu thinks that the opening Chinese method that matches with Tuntian is also very good?"

"Naturally, they are all good laws."

"Then Xia Shangshu must also agree. It is right to spend a little bit in exchange for peace in the world."

Xia Yuanji frowned, "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting." Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "I just want to ask Xia Shangshu to provide some money and food, so that I can recruit young men, train them, and select some craftsmen by the way."

Xia Yuanji stared at him, "Xu Tongzheng, you want me to pay you to do things for you? I don't have any money, all my money is from the treasury, so don't give it!"

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Don't be busy, Xia Shangshu. If you spend some money, I will get the craftsman. Next, you can buy the goods from me. I will give you Xia Shangshu a preferential price...at least compared to It’s [-]% cheaper in the market, and those who go to the West can make more money.”

Xia Yuanji frowned, "Can it be [-]% cheaper? What about your goods?"

"Not yet produced."

"When will it be produced?"

"Just give me the craftsman."

Xia Yuanji was so angry that he rolled his eyes crazily, "Xu Jingchang, you are an empty-handed white wolf, do you think I can't understand anything?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and stretched out his hand, hugged Zhu Zhanji, and placed it in front of Xia Yuanji.

"The craftsman training camp I set up will be under the name of the emperor's grandson. Xia Shangshu, if you have the ability to get the emperor's grandson to be here, I will not say anything."
