I am the carpenter king

After listening to Sun Chengzong's words, Duke Ding nodded slowly.Although he seldom participated in court battles, Ding Guogong was also influenced by his ears and eyes.Sun Chengzong's deep trust in Emperor Tianqi is unmatched by anyone in the court.People like myself entered the Military Aircraft Department because Emperor Tianqi wanted to stabilize people's hearts, and it was Sun Chengzong who could really call the shots.

In other words, what Sun Chengzong meant was the meaning of Emperor Tianqi, and Duke Ding understood this very clearly.Since the gradual decline of Wu Xun, the court has always been ruled by civilian officials, and all major military and political affairs have been entrusted to civilian officials.Military generals are also under the control of civil officials. These Ding Guogongs naturally don't want to see it, but there is nothing they can do.

The emperors of all dynasties in the Ming Dynasty all competed with civil servants for power, so that they had the exclusive power of Dongchang and Jinyiwei.Looking back at the entire era, there are countless such examples.Those dictatorial eunuchs are not so much that they are against the civil officials, but that the emperor needs them to be against the civil officials.The waters of political struggle are very deep, and there is no way to say clearly what is right or wrong.

However, Duke Ding saw hope in Emperor Tianqi. Although Emperor Tianqi also attached importance to Jinyiwei and Dongchang, it was the beginning of his enthronement.The establishment of the Military Aircraft Department is to fight against civil servants. The reform of the equal system and the division of civil and military affairs are all very wise moves.In Duke Dingguo's view, Emperor Tianqi did a good job in changing the low status of Wu Xun.

After seeing hope, Duke Ding naturally understood how to deal with himself.He respects Sun Chengzong very much. Although he was born as a civil servant, Sun Chengzong is very proficient in martial arts.He is a very talented person, and he is one of the few civil servants who does not discriminate against generals.

"My lord, this is the booklet just sent by Liaodong. Please have a look at it, my lord." Ding Guozheng was thinking wildly when a clerk from the Military Aircraft Department came in.He saluted the two of them respectfully, said.

Sun Chengzong was slightly taken aback. It was not a strange thing to have a booklet sent in at this time.Daming is so big, there are countless memorials every day.There will be a memorial at any time.However, all the things that can be sent to him at this time are urgent, and the things must be extremely important.

Glancing at Ding Guogong on one side, Sun Chengzong nodded slowly to the scribe, and said expressionlessly: "Take it here!"

"Yes, my lord!" The scribe respectfully delivered the memorial to Sun Chengzong, then bowed and retreated.

After taking the memorial, Sun Chengzong couldn't wait to read it.Since the last war, northern Xinjiang has been extremely stable.Whether it was the Jiannu or the Mongol Tartars, they were all honest for a while.However, Sun Chengzong knew very well in his heart that this was just an appearance.

Jiannu and Mongolian Tartars were just resting and recuperating, and now they have no ability to harass Daming at all.What's more, Liaodong now has a strong army and horses, so it's lucky not to trouble them.Daming is now reforming the military system, although someone suggested it to Emperor Tianqi.Taking advantage of this opportunity, the northern conscripts built slaves.

However, all such proposals were rejected by Emperor Tianqi, as the saying goes, you need to be hard on your own.Emperor Apocalypse is now bent on reforming the country.All the energies are concentrated in the country, and there is no way to do it all at once.

Could it be that something happened in Liaodong again?After reading the memorial, Sun Chengzong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Sun, is there something big going on in Liaodong?" Seeing Sun Chengzong's solemn expression just now, Duke Ding's heart sank.Now that Emperor Tianqi is no longer in the capital, if there is trouble in Liaodong.That's a big deal.But seeing Sun Chengzong let out a sigh of relief, Ding Guogong let go of his heart.

Smiling and shaking his head, Sun Chengzong said helplessly: "It's a big thing, but it's not a bad thing to say. The weather is getting colder and the emperor's smuggling route has been cut off, and many people can't survive. This memorial was submitted by Yang Lian, governor of Liaodong. Since the weather started to get colder, more people have emerged in Liaodong. Many are herdsmen who cannot survive, and small groups have poured into Liaodong. Up to now, small tribes have appeared in Liaodong Come to seek refuge, and even big tribes come to show their favor.”

Duke Ding was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect this to happen, he calmed down immediately, and said with a smile: "This is a good thing! Your Majesty's brilliant heavenly power has spread far beyond the Great Wall!"

"It's a good thing, but there are other problems here! It's been a year since the system was restructured, and the report just sent at the end of the year shows that the grain confiscated in Liaodong is enough to support the army. This shows that the reform of the equalization system has worked, but the sudden influx of so many There are many people, and it is a big problem to arrange them!" Sun Chengzong rubbed his forehead, his face slightly helpless.No one surrendered, expecting someone to surrender, and someone surrendered, and resettlement became a problem again.

At the beginning of this year, all the farmland harvested in Liaodong was leased by the imperial court to the original military households for planting.However, some new seeds were planted, and corn and sweet potatoes accounted for a large proportion.After the first planting, many people opposed it and were even unwilling to cultivate it.Many people have no idea about these unseen seeds, including some local officials.

However, Emperor Apocalypse, who had already cultivated the seeds last year, ignored the protests of these people and insisted on planting them after promising to supply food.At the same time, there is a lot of publicity, so that ordinary people can also farm.After a year, Liaodong actually had a bumper harvest this year, and the harvest made people look happy.

A few days ago, after receiving the approval of Emperor Tianqi, Liaodong started a new round of land reclamation.The newly reclaimed wasteland does not have to pay taxes for three years, and it can be used as one's own permanent land, and the government issues a title deed.

Sun Chengzong had already thought about it, starting next year, this new crop would be promoted in the six northern provinces.We must let Daming's granary be filled with grain. If he can see this day in his lifetime, Sun Chengzong feels that he will die without regret.However, this is a long-term project that cannot be completed overnight.

The Ming Dynasty had a wise emperor, and in Sun Chengzong's view, the Ming Dynasty was gradually becoming stronger.Stronger and stronger than ever before.

Seeing Sun Chengzong in a daze, thinking that he was thinking about resettlement, Duke Ding said with a smile: "Although resettlement is troublesome, there is no way out. Call everyone to discuss it tomorrow, and there will always be a way. But this is a This is a good thing, we must let the emperor know as soon as possible."

Smiling and nodding his head, Sun Chengzong naturally agreed very much, saying: "Naturally, we must report this matter to the emperor. Before that, we should come up with a solution! It's easy to say no at that time, let the emperor make a decision!"

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back! This matter is not something that can be resolved in a short time. Since it is not an urgent matter, let's put it aside for a while, and we will talk about it when we go back." Stretching his waist, Duke Ding looked at Sun Chuanting with a smile and said.

"Okay, let's go!" The two looked at each other, then burst out laughing, and walked outside together.

In the Nanjing Imperial Palace, Emperor Tianqi was standing at the gate of the palace. Ever since he came to Nanjing, Emperor Tianqi seemed to like standing at the gate of the palace. It was almost fifteen, and the moon in the sky was getting more and more like a full moon.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, let's go to bed early!" Chen Hong stood respectfully behind Emperor Tianqi, without any expression on his face, and said respectfully.

Nodding his head slowly, Emperor Tianqi sighed with a complex expression, and said to Chen Hong: "Chen Hong, did you hear what Sun Chuanting said just now?"

"Go back to the emperor, I heard it!" Chen Hong was slightly taken aback, but still nodded.

"Isn't it a little too much? Wei Guogong's mansion has guarded Nanjing for generations, and I just deprived him of his military power." Emperor Tianqi looked a little complicated, but there was no hesitation in his tone, but he was very firm.

Chen Hong was already used to Emperor Tianqi's way of speaking, and he often told himself about these important military affairs, not to gain his own opinion.Emperor Tianqi has his own opinions on many things, and he will not change because of someone's words. Chen Hong also knows this.

Talk to yourself, in fact, Emperor Tianqi just wants to talk, the fact is as simple as that, Chen Hong is very clear.However, he still had to answer the emperor's question, saying: "The Duke of Wei's residence in Nanjing is a gift from the royal family. Not to mention that the thunder, rain and dew are a kindness from the emperor, but the position of Minister of Military Affairs given to Duke Wei by the emperor, that's already It's rare!"

"It would be the most unfair thing for Duke Wei if the emperor appointed the other ministers as ministers of military affairs. Duke Wei also knew in his heart that ministers of military affairs are very powerful. If he still holds the military power in Nanjing, it will be very unfair. Inappropriate. So when Wei Guogong handed over his military power, he did not hesitate at all, and Lord Sun also said it." Chen Hong didn't want to say these words, but he knew that this was what Emperor Tianqi wanted to hear.

Nodding his head, Emperor Tianqi showed a look of relief on his face, I hope other people can understand!After thinking about it, Emperor Tianqi frowned and said, "Have the governors and governors of the seven southern provinces arrived? I'm still waiting to see them."

"Going back to the emperor, not yet. After all, some people have a farther journey. But according to the longest journey, they should arrive in a day or two. The emperor does not need to be anxious about this matter." Chen Hong did not expect Emperor Tianqi's thinking to be so jumpy, but He had been prepared for a long time, so naturally he would not let Emperor Tianqi ask him.

"Okay, it's getting late, I'm going to rest!" Emperor Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief, with a trace of comfort on his face, and walked towards the back.

Following Emperor Tianqi, Chen Hong was hesitant to speak several times, but finally he said bravely, "Your Majesty, the palace in Nanjing is too deserted, should some people be selected to serve in the palace?"

Chen Hong's words were very subtle, but how could Emperor Tianqi not understand?Naturally, eunuchs would not be chosen for the selection. To put it bluntly, they were court ladies, but in fact, they wanted to choose some women for Emperor Tianqi.
