Chapter 224 Opening the Door to Reverse History

May fourteenth.

Today is not the day of the early court, but Yang Reform got up very early. Today, there are very important matters to be done. The direction of the dynasty can also be said to be related to the direction of history.

This matter is more important than dealing with the wild boar skin. With the current strength of the wild boar skin, at most it can be robbed in the pass, but the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty was the direct force to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.Yang Reform didn't want to be forced to death on Meishan Mountain by Li Zicheng and his like, so he could only go all out. In this matter, he must rewrite history no matter what. If he can't rewrite history in this matter, then, Everything will return to nothingness, and traveling to this end of the Ming Dynasty by myself is in vain.

Yang Reform found a lot of information yesterday, hoping to see who can replace Xu Guangqi to preside over this super project related to his own life; a super project related to the future of the Ming Dynasty; a super project related to the direction of history.However, after considering many people, there were really no capable and reliable candidates.And reliable and capable, I can't bear to let go.

The maids and eunuchs are dressing Yang Reform. In front of Yang Reform, this full-length mirror is placed!This is a gift from Liulizhai. This kind of mirror can be seen in many places and homes in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Chengen waited on him.From time to time, he directed the maids and eunuchs to be busy.

"Big Companion, have all the ministers arrived?" Yang Reform asked, today's matter is really too important, even more important than dealing with wild boar skin. Emperor, this is the first time I feel this way.Stressed, a little nervous...

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it's all here...but..." Wang Chengen had already gotten up before the emperor woke up, and had already collected and summarized the news sent from various places in case the emperor asked him.

"But what?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is said that many nobles and nobles came here today..." Wang Chengen said.

"Xungui? Qinggui?" Yang Reform murmured to himself without expressing anything.

"What about Baoquan Bureau, have the silver coins been delivered?" Yang Reform asked again.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it hasn't arrived yet, and the servants have already sent someone to remind them." Wang Chengen replied.

Yang Reform bowed his head and thought for a while, this matter will be ranked after the immigration relief, there is still a long time, and it is not too late to send it by then, so he didn't say much.

"Send someone to ask Master Xu to see if he has prepared all the countermeasures? He is the protagonist today." Yang Reform ordered again.

"Your servant complies, and I will send someone there." Wang Chengen replied calmly. In the recent days with the emperor, Wang Chengen was too surprised!I have learned to be calm and calm.

"Have you sent all those letters?" Yang Reform asked again.

"Your Majesty, it has already been sent out. There are more than two hundred people in the entire Ming Dynasty, and each vassal king has sent two letters." Wang Chengen replied calmly.

"Is the epidemic prevention report of the Tai Hospital ready?" Yang Reform nodded and asked again. Yang Reform originally wrote a letter to borrow money, but in the end he didn't write it. There were more than 200 letters and more than 400 letters. Fortunately, there were no letters. Write it yourself, otherwise, don't even think about finishing it in a few days and nights.

"Your Majesty, this is here, and it was sent to the palace early in the morning." Wang Chengen promised again, yesterday, the emperor arranged a lot of things. Remember clearly.

"Read it to me."

Wang Chengen picked up the note from the Imperial Hospital and read it.

"It's too profound, and it's too troublesome..." Yang Reform felt dizzy when he heard the large number of traditional Chinese medicines. Yang Reform still has a lot of ideas for dealing with ancient plagues. This, he collected a lot of things last night , there is this aspect, and I plan to use my own plan when the time comes. As for the Tai Hospital, it is just a cover.

"Well, it's good, um... you're all dressed up, let's go to the Wenhua Palace." Seeing that he was fully dressed, Yang Reform decided to open the door to determine his own destiny.

……

The sun in the morning shone warmly on the Forbidden City, illuminating the power center of the Ming Dynasty and even the eastern land brilliantly, making this palace and his power very suitable.

The chariot was as stable as usual, and quickly sent Yang Reform to Wenhua Hall.

Just after entering the door, there was the sound of ministers kneeling and bowing. Yang Reform went straight to the dragon chair and said: "Get up."

The loud Xie En was far louder than usual.

Yang Reform took a look. There were much more people here today than before, and many new faces appeared, and they all stood in front.Some of the faces I've recognized recently are actually standing at the back. Could it be that these are the so-called nobles and nobles?
Yang Reform has no time to consider who these "newcomers" are today.He said directly: "My dear family, today is not the day of the court meeting. It is a very important matter to call everyone here. I think everyone knows what it is."

Everyone heard the emperor's words, and they all understood what the emperor's words meant. Today's core event is to determine who will be the imperial envoy for immigrants. This is the most fat envoy in the Chongzhen Dynasty.

"... Today's matter is related to the government affairs of my Ming Dynasty in the next few years, and it is also related to the future of my Ming Dynasty. Therefore, for the matters discussed today, you first need to put your own views on the data for my Ming Dynasty. When considering a century-old foundation, when thinking about things, you also need to put the height at the height of the life and death of my Ming Dynasty. I hope that you will keep this in mind when discussing matters..." Yang Reform first warned In the front, to avoid the occurrence of such things as cliques, factional struggles, framing, etc., it is necessary to give a defensive shot in advance.

"I will obey the order." The ministers replied in a loud and loud voice.

"Very good, it's good that you can understand, I won't repeat myself anymore, is Master Xu here?"

"The minister is here." Xu Guangqi stood up.

"Tell me about this immigrant disaster relief plan. Before listening to what Master Xu said, please don't interrupt, understand?" Yang Reform was going to invite a speaker to speak.

"I understand." The ministers agreed with another accent.

"Master Xu, let's start."

Xu Guangqi probably didn't sleep well. He looked a little tired, but he spoke calmly and resonantly.

"...my minister's immigration and disaster relief strategies are divided into relocation, relief, recruitment, and work for relief..." Xu Guangqi began to talk about his immigration plan.

In the Wenhua Palace, it was very quiet, except for Xu Guangqi's voice.Xu Guangqi read out his disaster relief plan in a loud voice alone.Everyone held their breath and listened carefully to Xu Guangqi's explanation.

From the mobilization of the superintendents of the Guozijian to the establishment of the Agricultural Department, the establishment of the Agricultural Bureau for the land, and then the recruitment and organization of the victims of poor harvests in various places, there is a planned, large-scale transfer, or to assist in the transfer; at the same time, explain how to mobilize and transfer grain from the south of the Yangtze River to the Shaanxi, Henan and other disaster-stricken places; at the same time, explain why disaster relief points are only set up along the river, and food is not sent to states and counties as usual for disaster relief; explain that disaster victims only need to walk down any river to find relief points Benefits: Explain that you can use the boats that transport grain to take people to the south, and then explain how to build fields around lakes such as Dongting Lake, Taihu Lake, and Poyang Lake; finally, it also talks about the need to use local guards to garrison , to ensure the safety of the immigrants, and finally, the matter of filling the fields is also included in it...

It took quite a long time to talk about it, and many specific details were listed in it. Many people couldn't hold back halfway through hearing it, and were ready to speak, but the emperor had something to say first, and asked after listening, so they had to be patient. Come down and wait patiently for Xu Guangqi to finish speaking.

Xu Guangqi read out his disaster relief plan item by item. After reading the last word, the entire Wenhua Palace was unusually quiet.In all honesty, many people admire Xu Guangqi's disaster relief strategy from the bottom of their hearts, and they admire Xu Guangqi himself even more.Although many people have heard a part of it beforehand, but listening to it now, they still feel that the scale is huge and extraordinary. Many people who originally planned to compete for the fat job of the disaster relief imperial envoy gave up this idea, just listening to such a huge Planning is already very difficult, and it is necessary to organize and manage millions of immigrants, manage their food and drink, and arrange them well. This kind of thing is a test for people's ability. Some people think that , This kind of thing is really too laborious.

However, there are also some people who feel that this is more of a struggle. The millions of immigrants are equal to countless merits and political achievements. It must be a great opportunity to be famous forever.

Some people only saw countless amounts of silver flying in the sky, and tens of millions of taels of silver passing through their hands. This kind of temptation is really quite big, but it is a pity that the emperor made this matter a little too hasty, Many people who need to be linked together have not had time to link up, otherwise, more supporters will definitely be won.

Yang Reform already had a rough picture of this immigration project in his mind. He heard Xu Guangqi explain it systematically again today. do it.

"Okay, Master Xu's disaster relief strategy has been finished. If you have any questions or comments, ask them one by one, and explain them one by one. As for the candidates for the imperial envoy, Let’s talk about it at the end.” Yang Reform did not allow the ministers to discuss in private as usual today. Today’s matter is related to his future life and the direction of history. This, he must act according to his own will. The rules and regulations of the meeting must follow what you have planned.

All the important ministers in the hall, still no one asked questions for a long time. Today’s matter is of great importance. It takes a lot of energy to digest Xu Guangqi’s words. What are you talking about? You have to think carefully, otherwise, you will waste a chance to speak.

Shi Fenglai is the chief assistant, logically, at this time, he should speak first.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, after listening to what Xu Shaobao and Master Xu said about the relief along the river, I feel that every sentence is reasonable. The method said is unprecedented. Such relief is really twice the result with half the effort and saves countless money and food! Xu Shaobao is true. It is the jade pillar of the country..." Shi Fenglai was determined to move closer to the emperor, the emperor's will was his will, and as soon as he came up, he helped Xu Guangqi speak, because it was obvious that Xu Guangqi was the emperor's real right-hand man.

Yang Reform nodded, saying that the disaster relief along the river, the disaster victims seek relief along the river, this is indeed a great pioneering work, this is indeed worth talking about, but today, this is not the point.

"Well, Shi Aiqing is right, I understand, next one." Although Yang Reform loves Qing's kind words, today is not a day for flattering, no matter how good the flattering is, it is not as important as his own life.

Seeing that he slapped the horse's hoof with a flattering blow, Shi Fenglai didn't talk nonsense and backed away.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." A minister standing next to Shi Fenglai came out to speak.It is obvious that the current speaking time is still in the cabinet, because Xu Guangqi is behind.

Yang Reform knew this person, and after dealing with the cabinet for so long, he was very familiar with several people in the cabinet, and he recognized him clearly. This is Zhang Ruitu, a scholar of the Jianji Temple.

"Zhang Aiqing, if you have any questions, just tell me." Although Yang Reform's impression of Zhang Ruitu is not very good, knowing that this guy must be included in the eunuch party, but in the current cabinet, he has a good impression of him. Far above Shi Fenglai.Like Shi Fenglai, he stayed here deliberately to suppress the rise of the Donglin Party.

"Your Majesty, I just want to ask, how to carry out the huge project of relocating millions of immigrants? I'm afraid the imperial court will not be able to spare so many officials to handle and assist this matter! And the supervisors of the Imperial College may not be able to directly appoint officials. Let's go." Zhang Ruitu is more reliable than Shi Fenglai in doing things, and at least he is on the point of what he said.

Yang Reform nodded and said, "Zhang Aiqing, I will answer this question. I am going to recruit this year's Enke Scholars as immigration officers to assist in handling this matter. In the future, those with outstanding political achievements can be promoted first, and then they will be selected from the Imperial Academy. The superintendents who are both good and excellent will be given appointments in advance, so as to make up for the shortage of manpower for disaster relief. This encourages history to live."

Yang Reform couldn't be judged by others, so he settled the matter with a certain tone, which is considered a final word. In the court and the cabinet, there are all votes of "eunuch remnants". The idea of ​​stepping down is because I don’t want to offend the emperor, and the others are not in the cabinet, so the weight of speaking is inevitably lacking. In this place where important ministers gather, even ministers and the like have not yet had their turn to speak, so it is fulfilled The effect of Yang Reform's final decision, if the Donglin Party came to power, life would not be so easy, this can be regarded as a game of chess played by Yang Reform in a daze, and it is considered correct.

All the ministers, look at me, and I look at you. Although I have some opinions on the emperor's arbitrariness, it's okay to do so. This new scholar should have been assigned an official position, but he was forced by the emperor to read some books. Now he is recruited. Becoming an official can be regarded as returning to the right path. As for what happened in the history of the Guozijian, everyone has a bottom line in their hearts. First, the supervisors paid a lot of money. thing.So, this matter was settled like this.

Zhang Ruitu asked a question, and then backed away. Looking at today's battle, each person asked a question, which is probably the rule set by the emperor.

When Zhang Ruitu went down, someone naturally asked.

Next, a few more people asked questions, but none of them were critical. They were all questions about the puzzles of the disaster relief plan, and Xu Guangqi answered them one by one.

……

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." An unreasonably young guy came out and said, looking at this guy, he seems to be in his 30s, but he is really young. In such a scene where important officials gather, this face has to be Said, very "tender".

"If you have anything to say, Aiqing." Yang Reform recently practiced identifying people, and when he saw that the person who spoke was a "stranger", he didn't know him, so he gave Wang Chengen a secret code.

Wang Chengen understood, and immediately whispered: "Your Majesty, this person is Zhou Tingru, who is the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. He was summoned to the court after His Majesty ascended the throne."

He is Zhou Tingru?Yang Reform became interested in this guy.Zhou Tingru was somewhat famous in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, and he was also a participant in the late Ming Dynasty.Yang Reform wrote down this guy, who is very young and has a bit of historical reputation.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that the imperial court's large-scale disaster relief campaign involves countless money and food, even if it exceeds tens of millions. I believe that we should send personnel to assist the imperial envoys in managing accounts and checking the use of money and food..." Zhou Tingru's question can be regarded as saying Got to the point.

Yang Reform also nodded, and said: "Zhou Aiqing, what you said makes sense. With such a huge amount of money and food, it is necessary to send many people to assist in the management of the accounts, and also to send personnel to regularly check the use of the money and food.... How about it, I sent some middle officials to be responsible for checking the accounts; the Ministry of Households sent some officials to be responsible for the distribution and management of money and grain; to supervise the censors, I also sent officials to be responsible for the overall inspection, especially to supervise the middle officials and the Ministry of Households, not to falsify... ..." This question was not included in the plan by Xu Guangqi. Yang Reform had sent him directly to this question, so there was no need to inform the ministers, but since someone asked, he should simply say it.

Seeing what the emperor said, all the ministers had nothing to say. It has always been common to send middle officials to monitor and sit in places. There is no reason for the emperor not to send eunuchs to watch over such a big matter, not to mention that eunuchs are only responsible for checking accounts. It is the emperor who is very "wise", so let's forget about this matter.

……

Not long after, the questioning in this circle was over. All the ministers basically agreed with the immigration and disaster relief, and there was no big objection. The most critical question was who should be the imperial envoy of the immigration. This is the most important thing. Crucially, these are secondary issues.

Soon, the most important thing will come.
