Chapter 149

Yang Reform burst into tears, and found that he didn't have enough money. There are only 200 elite new troops, and they need more than 100 million taels. It takes 200 taels a year to support a soldier. This soldier is expensive enough.Fortunately, it was not a one-time investment of [-] million taels, otherwise, Yang Reform would be like pants.Yang Reform found that he had to get money quickly, otherwise, in a few days, his internal money would be bottomed out. This year's budget, after a little calculation, was more than [-]% overrun.

The future is bright, but the reality is cruel. Yang Reform pinches his fingers to count how much money he has in his internal money. It is tragic, tragic, and utterly miserable to be an emperor.Never has an emperor needed money more urgently than himself.

This emperor is not called for nothing!

Yang Reform was basking in the sun in the Forbidden City, and found that no matter how he did it, he didn’t seem to be able to get warm in the sun. If he had no money, it would be the same as not wearing any clothes on his body. Be confident!
Wang Chengen found that the emperor was obviously wandering around in the palace, and reminded him: "Your Majesty, where are you going now?"

"Where is this place?" Yang Reform, who was wandering and lost his way, asked.

"Your Majesty, this place is close to the Xuanwu Gate, to the north of the imperial palace." Wang Chengen replied.

"Xuanwumen? North?...Then go to Neishutang to have a look. I haven't been there for a while." Yang Reform casually reported a place.The eunuch class has to worry about it by itself, and Mao Wenlong has sent another letter asking when will the person in charge of border control and material entry and exit arrive. Yang Reform has no reliable person to handle this matter, and he is worrying.

Yang Reform didn’t know what department the Ming Dynasty’s customs administration was called. He had to go through the materials and files of the Ming Dynasty court by himself. Yang Reform didn’t have the “confidence” and “endurance”. If the commander-in-chief is successful, according to the level of excellence of the "inner court", there should be corresponding institutions, otherwise, it would not be called the "inner court".

"Big Companion, is there any yamen in this inner court that manages overseas trade?" Yang Reform thought it was just luck.

"Reporting to the emperor, did the emperor ask the admiral and eunuch?" Wang Chengen, as the head of the eunuch, the head of the inner court, is very clear about the things within his power. When the emperor asked, he immediately answered come out.

Haha, sure enough, there is a door. My inner court is really good, and there are such things as admirals and eunuchs of the Shibosi. Yang Reform is secretly refreshed. What does the Shibosi do? Yang Reform has read countless novels. Naturally, I know what it is for, it is the ancient customs, which manages overseas trade.It’s good to be the emperor, and the inner court is a cow. I don’t need to bother with the customs, I can directly manage the city ship department, and the admiral who manages the city ship department is the admiral eunuch. Even better, the eunuch manages the customs directly.Don't bother with the ministers.

"Well, yes, tell me about the situation of this city bureau. How many city bureaus do I have now? Who manages them and how they work." Yang reformed "hungry and thirsty" hope Wang Chengen gave himself Do some popular science about the situation of the shipping company in this city, and see if your plan works.

"Returning to Your Majesty, at present, our imperial court employs the admiral of the city bureau, and has established the post of eunuch as the admiral of the city bureau. Originally, the foreign court also had the city bureau chief, but since the foreign court has the city bureau chief, For example, the inner court will definitely send this admiral and eunuch, otherwise, wouldn’t the inner court be in vain? The inner court is where the slaves and maidservants look after the emperor’s house and protect the courtyard, so that no one will be deceived. The Emperor..." Wang Chengen expressed his merits to Yang Reform with a hint of complacency.

Yang Reform praised in his heart, the person who set up the inner court is not an ordinary bull, the organization is so comprehensive, the emperor has to participate in everything about the country, and sent eunuchs to watch over it, no wonder, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty can After not going to court for ten years, he can work as a carpenter at home every day. It turned out that there were eunuchs for the emperor to watch, and Yang Gaige had a new understanding of the history of the Ming Dynasty.It is said that the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty was capable and advanced. In Yang Reform's view, it is better to say that the establishment of the inner court was very successful and awesome. The bureaucrats lied to the emperor, but the eunuchs were not vegetarians.

"Not bad, not bad." Yang Reform was very happy in his heart.Thinking secretly, this eunuch is also greedy for money, so I have to be on my guard. This eunuch training class is to guard against this. A large number of eunuchs are backed up, so that the eunuchs at the front desk can take care of them. If you can't do it well, you don't want to do it , there is a large group of people waiting to replace you.

"...Your Majesty, there were originally three divisions in the city. Now, only the Guangdong division is left... Your Majesty wants to return to the other two divisions?" Seeing the emperor's joy, Wang Chengen introduced the division in an eloquent manner. situation of the company.

"Hehe, no, I plan to set up a new Shibo Department to manage the import and export matters for me. By the way, my friend, is there any relevant information about the Shibo Department in the inner court, and I plan to train some young eunuchs to handle things for me. "Yang Reform thinks it is very beautiful. This customs can bypass the courtiers and go directly to the horse without arguing with the courtiers. There is nothing better than this.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, yes, every year, the business status of the Municipal Shipping Department will be written in a document, rolled up, and sealed in the History Museum for inquiries at any time."

"Very good." Yang Reform nodded. This can completely train eunuchs to open customs.Today, I am going to handle this matter. Yang Reform is full of confidence. Mao Wenlong can send people there soon. The establishment of the national customs is just around the corner.

The inner library will arrive soon.

There are a lot of eunuchs and young eunuchs who came out to greet them this time, far exceeding the last time.A real black patch.

Zhang De'an, the eunuch in charge of Neishutang, knelt there at the head. Seeing the emperor coming, he trotted to the emperor.

"Slave Zhang De'an kowtows to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live." After leading the crowd to kneel once, Zhang De'an kowtowed again when he came to serve the emperor.

"Get up, get up, Zhang De'an, there are quite a few people here! I'm afraid there are more than 1000 people." Yang Reform made a little calculation, and found that there were people everywhere inside and outside the wall. .

"Thank you, Your Majesty, back to Your Majesty, there are already more than 500 people here, and my servant has His Majesty's order to recruit as many young eunuchs as possible, so I let go of my courage and recruit as many people as possible." Zhang De'an He explained to the emperor with a smiling face.

"Well, you've done a good job. This momentum must be maintained. It's best for all the eunuchs in the imperial palace to study in the inner school." Yang Reform can't wait to cultivate a hundred thousand talented people Eunuchs come with knowledge, culture, ideals, and morality. In this way, there are people who can do whatever they want.

Zhang De'an was ashamed, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes." He thought, the emperor is crazy enough, all the eunuchs come to study in the inner school, this is too scary, then who will serve the emperor's harem?
"Your Majesty, there are so many people here, I'm afraid the building will not be enough! If more than 1000 servants are recruited, the building will not be able to fit in. The consumption of books, paper, pen and ink is also astonishing..." Zhang De'an continued Pour up the bitter water.

"The school building is not simple enough, so it's okay to ask another place to make some room? The palace is huge. The book paper, since it consumes a lot, then save some money, use a hard pen to write small characters, use a brush It’s too wasteful. This book, I will find a way. By the way, when it comes to books, I ask you, but now I’m going to use the Jinshi’s courses instead?”

Zhang De'an immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the maidservant definitely changed to the Jinshi's courses according to His Majesty's request, yes, Chinese, mathematics, astronomy, geography, agriculture..."

"Very well, this is the way to do it. My eunuchs can't lose to outside Jinshi! What the Jinshi can do, you should do it, and what the Jinshi can't do, you should also be able to do it." , in this way, there will be light on my face, understand?"

Zhang De'an nodded again and again.

The battle between the eunuchs and civil servants is not a day or two. Everyone is fighting to the death. In the previous battle, Wei Zhongxian led the army of eunuchs to PK the army of civil servants. As a result, the army of civil servants was almost wiped out. , This time, the emperor added BUFFs to the civil servants and negative buffs to the eunuchs. As a result, the boss of the eunuchs, Wei Zhongxian, was killed several times, and the eunuchs faced the treatment of being wiped out.

Yang Reform visited the inner school for a while, and found that the courses in the inner school were indeed taught according to the courses he said. In a "classroom", Yang Reform also saw a wooden triangular board with wooden ruler.

"This is the wooden ruler. Not bad." Yang Reform picked up the wooden ruler, looked at it, and found that it was almost the same as the one used by his teacher when he was studying in elementary school.

He picked up the triangular board and looked at it. This thing should be called a right-angled triangular board. It is the best physical embodiment of the three-pronged four-stringed five theorem, and it is no different from the ones used by later generations of teachers when teaching.However, looking at the back, there is no blackboard and no pens.

Zhang De'an said that it consumes a lot of paper and pen and ink. It seems that the chalk and blackboard are about to appear in advance. Yang Reform decided that he had time to get out the blackboard and chalk.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this thing is a right-angled triangular plate, which can draw a straight line. Use the triangular plate to draw a right angle on the straight line, and use another right angle to draw two parallel lines that never intersect..." Zhang Dean said. "Scholar" style, to explain this "deep" mathematical knowledge to the emperor.In order to please the emperor, Zhang De'an specially "self-studied" these courses, learned the mathematics in it well, and began to play "knowledgeable" for the emperor.

Right angles, parallel lines?Yang Reform looked at the eunuch with strange eyes. Damn, the eunuch is also good at mathematics, and he even told himself about right angles and parallel lines.

Yang Reform stared at Zhang De'an with strange eyes, and said, "Zhang De'an, I didn't realize that you are quite good at mathematics! You are a talent!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has won the prize. In order to run this inner study hall for His Majesty, the servant has specially studied all the courses in it. For this mathematics, I dabbled a little more, which made Your Majesty laugh..." Zhang De'an won the emperor The praise, the heart is secretly refreshed, and I can't help being humble.

Why did Zhang De'an study so hard, I'm afraid Yang Reform will never know, because this inner book hall was originally a popular place, and now with the emperor's attention, tens of thousands of eunuchs will come to study, so it has become very popular, I don't know how many people have gone through the door, hoping to get the position of the eunuch in charge of the inner school hall. Zhang De'an was in trouble day and night, thinking of ways to keep his position, and found that he had to manage Wang Chengen, the head of the inner court, to keep his position. It is to win the emperor's favor, so that the seat can be more stable. To win the emperor's favor, naturally, one must be anxious about what the emperor is anxious about. What is the emperor's most anxious thing?What do you want most?Naturally, this is the new course, so Zhang Dean put a lot of effort into studying these new courses, and he was "especially outstanding" in mathematics. When he saw the emperor, he immediately showed off and showed off to win the emperor's favor.

"That's right, that's right, as the old saying goes, you live to be old and learn to be old, Zhang De'an, I hope you will keep this momentum going, don't let me down, and teach me these students well." Yang Reform praised fiercely once This eunuch who knows mathematics really surprised Yang Reform.

"Your Majesty obeys, and your Majesty will not be disappointed." Zhang De'an happily assured the emperor that he would do a good job. He made the right bet, and the emperor was really satisfied with him.

"Zhang De'an, I'm here today because I have something to arrange for you." Yang Reform remembered the purpose of coming today.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is it that you want this servant to do for you? Your Majesty just asks, and this servant will definitely handle him properly."

"After a while, I'm going to hold an exam in the inner school. From among these students, I will select a group of people to form a new department of shipping. In addition to the new courses I set up, there are also related topics in the exam. I hope you will organize the students to study hard and get good grades in the exam."

"Examination? Re-opening the Department of Shipbuilding? Examination of new courses, plus the content of the Department of Shipbuilding?" Zhang De'an was startled when he heard that. Such a major event as the re-opening of the Shibo Department will be handed over to the Neishutang for examination. I am afraid that the seat of the Neishutang... Zhang Dean made up his mind to work harder.

"May I ask Your Majesty, when will the exam be held? In addition, I don't have the documents and files of the Secretary of the Municipal Bureau here. This..."

"Well, my companion will send someone to send you the paperwork, files, etc., and you just organize the students to study hard. The specific exam time, wait for my notice." Yang Reform knows that this new course has not been opened for a few days. Oh my God, the information from the city shipping department has not been delivered yet, and it is impossible to take the exam in such a hurry.

"Your servant obeys." Zhang De'an respectfully replied to the emperor's words, and almost died of envy when the emperor called Wang Chengen "big companion".

After Yang Reform finished speaking, he looked at the triangular board again and thought of Xu Guangqi again. Xu Guangqi was ill, and he had only been there once. If he had time, he had to go and see it!The translations of these nouns were all created by Xu Guangqi, a good man in history!
