Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 83 Reaction of the Parties
The Wenyuan Pavilion, where the cabinet ministers worked, was not far from the Dongnuang Pavilion, where Emperor Wanli usually commented on memorials.

However, after Zhang Juzheng, it was rare for the later cabinet ministers to enter the Dongnuan Pavilion. Usually, the emperor would send eunuchs to the Wenyuan Pavilion to deliver the imperial decree.Therefore, at this moment, after hearing the words of the eunuch Chuanzhi, several people in Shen Shixing were a little excited.After tidying up in a hurry, he went with the eunuch who passed the order.

On the way, Xu Guo said to Shen Shixing: "Master Ge, what do you think the emperor summoned us for?"

Shen Shixing pondered and said: "I don't know, but it's probably for disaster relief in various places in Ming Dynasty."

Xu Guo nodded, and soon, several people arrived outside the Dongnuan Pavilion, and the eunuch on duty opened the door to let several cabinet ministers in.Shen Shixing had entered the East Nuan Pavilion several times before, while Xu Guo and Wang Lin entered this place for the first time. The two couldn't help but sized it up, and saw a plaque in the middle that read "Xiao Yi Shi Shi", and beside it were some Neatly arranged volumes of books.

In front of a mahogany wooden frame, there is a royal case, which is full of memorials.Beside the imperial case, sits the current Emperor Wanli.And Liu Shouyou, the governor of Jinyiwei, stood respectfully beside Emperor Wanli.Seeing Shen Shixing and several people coming in, Emperor Wanli looked at them with piercing eyes.

Shen Shixing took the lead and kowtowed to the emperor: "Chen Tejin Guanglu Doctor Zhuguo Shaoshi and Prince Taishi Libu Shangshu Jidian Master Shen Shixing sees Your Majesty."

Emperor Wanli said: "Get up." He told his left and right: "Come on, bring some chairs for the elders."

Several eunuchs on duty hurriedly moved a few brocade couches, and said to Shen Shixing and the others who got up from the ground: "Several gentlemen, please sit down."

Several people from Shen Shixing thanked Emperor Wanli and sat down cautiously.Both Xu Guo and Wang Lin were sitting with bowed eyebrows. Shen Shixing peeped at Emperor Wanli and saw his radiant expression. He wondered what he was happy about.

Emperor Wanli said, "Shen Shixing, you know I called you here, why?"

Shen Shixing said: "The ministers are ignorant, please make it clear to the emperor."

Emperor Wanli said: "Show them the notebook."

At that moment, the next eunuch responded, and handed the secret document about Huang Laifu of Wuzhai Fort to Shen Shixing. Muttered: "How is this possible, how is this possible?"

Seeing Shen Shixing's gaffe, both Xu Guo and Wang Lin asked Shen Shixing with their eyes, and Shen Shixing handed them the secret booklet, saying, "Look for yourself."

Xu Guo is fine, but after Wang Lin saw it, he lost his composure and shouted: "This...is this true? A mere military fort in a border town can produce more food than my prefecture or county in the Ming Dynasty. In this age, this... this is really unbelievable!"

Emperor Wanli had been paying attention to the expressions of several cabinet ministers. He was even more happy when he saw the surprised expressions of several people. He said, "Liu Shouyou, tell me."

The governor of Jinyiwei, Liu Shouyou, came out from the side of Emperor Wanli respectfully, and saluted with a smile: "Yes, Your Majesty."

He cupped his hands to Shen Shixing and the others: "Sirs, don't worry, this matter is absolutely true. This secret document was issued by Jin Yiwei stationed in Ningwuguan, and there is absolutely no mistake."

Since Jin Yiwei's spies stationed in Wuzhai Fort learned that His Majesty was interested in Wuzhai Fort, he seemed to be on a stimulant, and devoted himself to this work with the spirit of hundred faith. Whenever Huang Laifu had any troubles, They all sent the news to the capital as quickly as possible.

And this seal was sent from Wuzhai Fort on August 8, and arrived in the capital on September 26.Huang Laifu went to Beijing to take up his post at that time. Although he rode a horse, if he walked slowly, he could only cover a few tens of miles a day, but if he used an express horse at the post station, he could travel four hundred miles in a day and a night, from Wuzhaibao to Wuzhaibao. The capital does not need a few days.

After listening to Liu Shouyou's words, Shen Shixing and the others were in complicated moods, especially Wang Lin, who was in charge of the household department. He was supposed to be in charge of the matter of farming, but his own household department did not get any news. But it was the first time that they knew about the power of Jinyiwei controlled by the emperor, and the civil servants were all pissed off in every possible way.

Several cabinet ministers exchanged glances with each other, and Wang Lin said cautiously: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't believe Mr. Liu's words, but that this matter is too unimaginable. It's just a military fort, a place of bitter cold, and it took more than a year before." The states and counties in various places squeezed out grain, and in the second year, they could produce more than 40 shi of grain, which not only satisfied themselves, but also had spare power to export grain, this... the old minister really couldn't believe it."

Xu Guo also stroked his beard, shook his head and said: "My lord Wang is very true, and the veteran also thinks that this matter is too unbelievable. It is better to wait for the memorial of the Ministry of Household Affairs to come up."

Seeing the anger on Emperor Wanli's face, Shen Shixing smoothed things over and said: "The old minister thinks that this matter is of great importance, so it is better to send a secretary to investigate. If it is true, it is of course the best. It will be the luck of Ming Dynasty, old minister. Congratulations to the emperor."

Emperor Wanli looked at the few people coldly, and said for a while, "That's fine, the Ministry of Household Affairs will send someone down to investigate. If it is true, then I will have a look at those people who sell straight, and have the face to say something. And ..." He said to Liu Shou, "What's the name of the captain at Wuzhai Fort?"

Liu Shouyou hurriedly said respectfully, "It's Yang Dawei."

Emperor Wanli nodded and said, "Let him come to Beijing too, I want to ask him personally."

Liu Shouyou was overjoyed, and said: "My minister complies with the order." He was also annoyed when he saw Shen Shixing and others openly questioning himself in front of the emperor.At this time, after listening to the emperor's words, he obviously still believed in himself, so he couldn't help but feel relieved.Moreover, seeing that the emperor was so concerned about this matter, he certainly believed in the secret report of Wuzhaibao Jinyi school lieutenant Yang Dawei, presumably after verifying this matter, he would make another contribution.

After everyone came out, Wang Lin said to Shen Shixing: "Mr. Ge, do you think this is true?"

Shen Shixing just shook his head again and again: "Unbelievable, unbelievable."

He said to Wang Lin: "That Huang Laifu, who has thousands of households in Wuzhai Fort, seems to have to pay attention in the future."

※※※

Regarding the great harvest of Wuzhai Fort, apart from the emperor of the capital knowing immediately and the ministers of the cabinet knowing immediately, the nearby Weisuo County near the water tower got the moon first, and the first to know.

The news of the bumper harvest at Wuzhai Fort reached Mr. Liu Jingchun, commander of the West Guards in Kelanzhou Town, on August 8. After knowing that a Wuzhai Fort in Huanglaifu can produce 28 shi of grain, Master Liu Jingchun was so shocked that even the flesh on his face kept shaking.

Earlier in June, Huang Laifu told him that not only would he no longer need to supply grain to West Guard, but Wuzhaibao would also offer thousands of stones of grain and grass every year. Master Liu thought that Huang Laifu was just talking casually at that time, after all, Wuzhaibao used to be a It's not that Mr. Liu doesn't know where it is. It's a bitter cold place. Every year, the soldiers get thousands of stones of food, and Huang Sihao asks his grandpa and grandma to pull food from his guard. But now it seems that these thousands of stones of food For Wuzhaibao, it is just a mere number.

It's unbelievable. Could it be that Huang Laifu, who is now his adopted son, can turn a stone into gold?Think about the matter that Huang Laifu discussed with himself that day about the Kelanzhou Ranch. At that time, Huang Laifu said that he would definitely make a lot of money by then, and now it seems that it will come true.

He figured that tomorrow, he would send his confidants to Wuzhai Fort. If the news of the bumper harvest was true, he would not only save the monthly rations given to Wuzhai Fort sergeants every year, but also Every year, you can also get several thousand shi of grain from Wuzhaibao, plus the annual profits from cashmere and other things that Yizi said.

Not only can I no longer look at that annoying magistrate of Kelan Prefecture, but on the contrary, if I am unhappy, I can also show his face, because in the future, I don't have to rely on him to pull out food and fodder, and I don't need to beg him anymore. up.Eat other people's soreness, when you don't need others to help you one day, it is up to you whether you want to give that person face or not.

In a happy mood, Master Liu Jingchun couldn't help humming a ditty.

At the same time, Yang Defu, the magistrate of Kelan Prefecture, also got the news. After hearing the news, Yang Defu knew that Zhenxiwei would undergo some changes in the future. Sure enough, in the afternoon of the same day, Liu Jingchun, the commander of Zhenxiwei, When I saw myself, I just looked indifferent. Compared with the smiling face that greeted me before, I was really a different person.

Yang Defu was depressed, and thought: "This Wuzhaibao thousands of households, Huang Laifu, is really a god? His own Kelan Prefecture has produced less than tens of thousands of shi in one year. He is just a military fort. It’s amazing that the well-known bitter cold place can be dozens of times bigger than him.” He made a decision and sent a confidant to Wuzhaibao to see what was going on.

……

Those who continued to get news were the Master Kelan from Pianguan and the Master General from Wuguan in Zhenning, Shanxi. After receiving the news of the bumper harvest in Wuzhaibao, each of them had different thoughts. He sent his confidants to Wuzhai Fort to inspect.

Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi Province.

Commander Liu Fuyu was stunned for a while when he heard the news, and quickly made a decision to send his confidants to Wuzhai Fort to have a look to judge the truth.For some reason, Master Liu Fuyu had a good impression of Huang Laifu from Wuzhai Fort.

When Huang Laifu vigorously cultivated the land at the beginning of the year, Lord Liu Fuyu commented on Huang Laifu's aspirations, but he was not optimistic about Huang Laifu's actions at the time. After all, the Ming Dynasty was here, and the land in the border town was also barren.I didn't expect the results to come out after autumn, which was really surprising.Lord Liu Fuyu also hopes that the Wuzhai Fort incident is true. After all, the second son of Daming's guard for such a long time has been snatched away by the battalions of the towns. The most important thing is not only the combat power. The reason is that the Weisuo army's farmland cannot be self-sufficient, which has caused the status to become lower and lower. If the farmland can be self-sufficient...

Of course, apart from everyone who was surprised, there was someone who was as happy as Huang Laifu of Wuzhaibao, and that was Gu Yunniang's family in Kelanzhou City.When he heard the news of the great harvest in Wuzhai Fort, Gu Yun was very happy, and he was always happy for Brother Laifu.

Gu Qianhu also laughed, but it was expected, he lived in Wuzhaibao for a few months, and he saw everything that Huang Laifu did in Wuzhaibao. There will be a bumper harvest, as it is right now.And after hearing the news of the bumper harvest in Wuzhai Fort, he became even more eager to move Gu's family to Wuzhai Fort. He thought to himself: "Wuzhai Fort is better. Not only the prospects are good, but also you can have a good relationship with Huang Xiandi every day." Drinking and talking is also a joy."

When Gu Yunniang's mother Song heard the news, she also hugged Gu Yunniang in her arms, and laughed straight: "My daughter is so lucky to have married a good husband." The mother acted like a baby in her arms.
