Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

"Come here, send this letter of mine to Tongzhou quickly."

"Yes, sir!"

Xue Guoguan was in a hurry, and a small letter was written almost in the blink of an eye. The price of grain in the capital has risen, which must be due to insufficient stock. When the grain store sees a shortage, it becomes more and more hoarding. Get started.

Without official reserves, everything is false.

However, Xue Guoguan also understood in his heart that Tongzhou claims to have millions of grains in storage, but most of them are old rice over the years. Skin matters. [

Then the rest has to be supplied to the Northern Army Town. It is impossible to supply all of them to the capital, Xuanda, Jizhen, and Liaodong. There is a huge food gap. It is useless to have money alone. Without food, soldiers cannot take money as money. eat.

Coupled with the fact that the Lu army also supplies food from Tongzhou warehouses, the pressure and gap are even greater.

Speaking of which, this regulation is really brain-dead. The food grains go all the way north, and they don't stop releasing the grain when they reach the border of Shandong. After they are stored in Tongzhou, they are transported back to the border of Shandong by small boats and distributed to the armies.

Isn't this just taking off your pants and farting?

Of course, the civil servants don’t think so. This kind of labor-intensive action, in their view, is to prevent the generals from being corrupt and wasteful, and they can control the distribution of food and salaries by themselves, which can prevent the military town from being too large. .

As for wasting food and wasting footpower, this belongs to another category and is out of the scope of discussion.

After finishing writing the brief note to the servant of Tongzhou Cangchang, Xue Guoguan pondered for a long time, and finally took another piece of paper, but this time the writing was much faster, and he wrote it quickly, and then handed it over to others.

At this moment, through the gap in the door, he also saw Yang Sichang returning to the pavilion with a gloomy expression.

It took less than an hour for Mr. Yang Ge to leave. At this time, please play right, talk about things, and come out again. The time is just right.However, looking at his ugly face, it seems that someone has a lot of trouble and told the truth of the matter to this powerful minister who has just joined the cabinet and is both proud and self-willed.

If it were someone else, Yang Sichang would definitely think of a way to get revenge immediately if Yang Sichang made such a move.

But if Xue Guoguan is like this, he really has no choice.

In terms of shrewdness, Xue Guoguan is not inferior to him, and in terms of imperial family, Xue Guoguan is not inferior to him either.In terms of power, Xue Guoguan is even above him.

What happened today was due to his own stupidity, so he can't blame others.

"Mr. Ge," Yang Sichang had just taken his seat when a servant from the Ministry of War came over. He first saluted at the meeting, and then pointed to the piles of official documents on the table and asked, "Are these all approved?"

"Exactly." Yang Sichang said weakly: "Take them all down, and follow the order."

The rules of the Ming Dynasty were that documents and memorials from various places were divided into categories. Some were sent to the General Administration first, and some were sent directly to the cabinet by various ministries. Those sent to the Secretary of the General Administration still had to be returned to the cabinet.

The cabinet posted a yellow card, that is, after writing the solution, it was sent to the secretary's office.

After the document room was sorted out, it was sent to the emperor for review, and the emperor ordered the ceremonies to approve it and send it to the cabinet, which became an official official document.

Generally speaking, scholar-bureaucrats can ignore the emperor's decree, that is, the decree issued directly without the cabinet, resist the decree and refuse to obey it, or use the imperial decree as toilet paper... Everyone is like this, and the emperor is used to it. [
