Chapter 226 Don't Give Up, Don't Abandon

Yang Reform is wondering, these nobles are here, but no one has been announced yet, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?Just when Yang Reform was about to ask Wang Chengen what was going on.The nobles have made a move.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not..." When the quarrel was raging below, an old man came out to speak.

This person was dressed in special clothes and was standing at the front. Yang Reform immediately took care of him.Immediately use hand gestures to Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen understood, and whispered: "Your Majesty, this is the Duke of England, Zhang Weixian."

British public?This name is so familiar!Yang Reform, who often reads Ming Dynasty novels, is very familiar with this name. He is a very naughty fellow. Said, if there is a good opinion, I will definitely adopt it.”

The British public Zhang Weixian said: "Your Majesty, I should not have intervened in this matter. We, the nobles, should not have been involved in the affairs of Jiuqing. However, for immigrants to provide disaster relief, food needs to be transported by river and water; transporting people, It is more necessary to take river transportation, and even encircle the lake, which is also related to the river course. Therefore, I suggest that Your Majesty, why not send someone who is familiar with the river course to assist the imperial envoy to specialize in the river and water transportation. It can be done better..."

Send someone to assist the imperial envoy?Specialize in managing this river transport, river course, and water transport?This idea surprised Yang Reform. He originally thought that the nobles wanted to grab the imperial envoys, but now it seems that these nobles are planning to grab the rights to the river transport and water transport?Didn't intend to be an imperial envoy?Or the deputy imperial envoy?What else did you say that the nobles don't interfere with the affairs of the Jiuqing, and only care about water transportation, river transportation and the like?

"Oh, hehe, is there anyone for the Duke?" Yang Reform asked tentatively.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that Zhang Jiude is very suitable for the Minister of Industry and the Governor of Youqian, the Governor of Hedao, and the Admiral of Military Affairs. I think it is very necessary for the cabinet to have an assistant minister to serve as an imperial envoy for immigration and disaster relief. Only in this way can the court attach importance to it. Only then can the place be suppressed, and it is even more suitable to have the governor of the river to assist. In this way, it is more effective to transport disaster relief food, transport victims to relocate, dredge the river, and even irrigate the fields..." The report reported by the British public Zhang Weixian A long list of titles is also scary, this Zhang Jiude can be regarded as a master!To be a minister of the Ministry of Industry requires a certain amount of practical ability. If this person is capable of being a minister of the Ministry of Industry, he is the governor of the river. It is estimated that it is related to the repair of the river. If this is the case, indeed, this immigration involves a large number of rivers. , This, perhaps, really should use a river channel expert. Yang Reform is a little moved, and what makes Yang Reform even more exciting is that this guy said that he wants a cabinet to go out to sit in charge, which means to exclude the Donglin Party, because Donglin The character introduced by the party is a servant, so doesn't that mean what these nobles mean?

Xu Guangqi, one of his own men, was appointed as the official imperial envoy, and the nobles launched a deputy imperial envoy to be in charge of the river. Is this... is it the legendary politics?
Interesting, Yang Reform figured out the key and decided to try this effect.

"Well, what the Duke said is reasonable. The matter of emigration and disaster relief is indeed related to the river. River transportation and river dredging really require the cooperation of a river expert. Then I will make a decision. Master Xu took the post to take charge of the overall situation, and Zhang Jiude served as the deputy messenger, specializing in the river channel, ensuring the smooth flow of the river channel, and the smooth and rapid transportation of food and immigrants." Yang Reform quickly exchanged with the nobles, this, counting, This is the first time that Yang Reform has made a compromise and exchange of interests with others. It feels very strange. By the way, I am also going to see the effect of this compromise.

This kind of cooperation between the two parties, I take the big head, you take the small head, the power of the strong alliance is immediately revealed. As soon as the emperor finished speaking, someone jumped out and sang praises, and the first one was Shi Fenglai...

The members of the Donglin Party were dumbfounded. These nobles were not the imperial envoys they robbed, but the deputy imperial envoys who were in charge of river control. These nobles have never interfered in political affairs. There are rules, but, The canal transportation and the river course are an exception. The nobles interfered with the canal and river transportation.As soon as the two parties join forces, you say that I and I will divide up the matter of immigration and imperial envoys in one fell swoop.Even the Qi Dang, who originally launched the Grand Scholar Liu Hongxun, has now changed to support the emperor. Now, this matter is considered finalized.

People in the Donglin Party also had quick-witted minds, and someone immediately played: "Your Majesty, I also agree with Xu Ge's appointment as an imperial envoy. A deputy is indeed necessary, so it relieves a lot of pressure on the imperial envoy, so I thought, why not send a young and strong deputy? Xu Ge is old, and he has been serving His Majesty for many years. Running around for the imperial court is hard work, why don't your majesty be sympathetic?"

Yang Reform found that the matters above the imperial court, politics, are indeed interesting, to pull one faction, to fight against one faction... It is also interesting to see the suggestion made by this person. The physical strength proposed by this person should refer to Zhou Yanru.Yang Reform thought about it. Xu Guangqi was indeed old, and he didn't want him to be too tired. The emigration was definitely not a day or two, a month or two months. It might take several years, and with Xu Guangqi's body It's not good, I vomited blood again a while ago, and I think this person needs to think about adding another deputy. ...In this way, the main forces of the imperial court will have their income. This matter can be regarded as a compromise reached by the high-level, and an agreement reached. This seems to be more conducive to disaster relief for immigrants.

"Well, it makes sense. It is indeed necessary to send a deputy. In this way, let Zhou Yanru go. He is only in his thirties, and he is young. He can share a lot of pressure for Master Xu. So, it is decided like this , one imperial envoy, two deputies, and other departments and personnel, let the imperial envoy decide..." Yang Reform decided on the candidate for this imperial envoy, and felt that he had learned a lot today.

"Your Majesty is holy..." The courtiers shouted long live and the emperor was wise in unison.The number one fat job in the Chongzhen Dynasty fell into the arms of Xu Guangqi, the imperial party. The imperial party won the first place in this competition, but other people also gained something. Above the court, it was a happy ending.

The appointment of an imperial envoy, just like this, has changed from a fierce confrontation to a one-officer and two-office, and the dust has settled.

However, the matter of emigration is not over yet. After Yang Reform and other officials chanted long live, they took out the epidemic prevention certificate from the Tai Hospital and said: "I think that during the process of emigration and disaster relief, a large number of victims will be concentrated, and the population will be reduced." Mixed, we must take measures to prevent plagues and seasonal diseases. For this reason, I have specifically consulted a lot of medical books and the Tai Hospital. Therefore, it is strictly forbidden for immigrants to drink unboiled water. The water they drink must be boiled and cooled before being given to immigrants. Before eating, they must wash their hands. Second, feces have always been the main culprit in the spread of diseases. It is strictly forbidden to urinate and defecate anywhere in the gathering place, the excrement must be collected in a special place, and must be buried regularly, these must form rules, must be strictly enforced, and must form habits, and I will not say more about the others." He came up with his own method of preventing the plague.

In fact, Yang Reform had a deep meaning in doing this. The Ming Dynasty turned the altar, among which was the "credit" of the plague.Why did Li Zicheng break through Beijing so easily?There was hardly any resistance, and it was because of the plague that the combat effectiveness of the defenders of Beijing City dropped sharply that Li Zicheng took advantage of it.Otherwise, with the fighting power of wild boar skin, why did they fail to capture the city of Beijing after entering the customs several times?As soon as Li Zicheng came, the city of Beijing was easily broken?Therefore, it is reasonable to say that the Ming Dynasty had a "credit" for the plague. Yang Reform is now preparing for a rainy day, and is ready to popularize the knowledge of plague prevention for the Ming Dynasty. Come on, when Chongzhen is more than ten years old, maybe I can come up with a very comprehensive and effective way to prevent the plague. At that time, I don’t want to end up with money and people. It will be a tragedy .

"Your Majesty is merciful..."

"Your Majesty has mercy..."

"Your Majesty's kindness..."

The officials were very moved. There are not many emperors who can consider for the people!There was another burst of flattery, and this, Yang Reform accepted it, and by the way, he presented the note from the Tai Hospital to Xu Guangqi.

Next, according to the general meeting process, it was time for the leader to make a concluding speech. Yang Reform is the emperor, and the leader who did his part was going to summarize the immigrant disaster relief and bring this matter to an end.

"Since I came to the throne, I have only one wish, which is that my country will be strong and the people rich. My people will have food to eat, clothes to wear, houses to live in, and will not be invaded by foreign enemies. In front of foreigners, they will always be superior However, things are always unsatisfactory. Nowadays, there are continuous natural disasters inside, and powerful enemies are watching outside. It is really a situation of internal focus and external difficulties. However, I never give up hope and work hard to resolve this situation. Crisis, I hope that all ministers and workers can help me to help Ming Dynasty tide over the difficulties... The last thing I want to see is the overthrow of Ming Dynasty and the sinking of China... I have high hopes for this emigration, this is my Ming Dynasty It is the best opportunity to turn the crisis into safety and resolve internal conflicts. If I miss this opportunity, the situation where I am trapped inside and outside will definitely make my Ming Dynasty completely corrupt. At that time, I am afraid that hell will come, a scene of the end of the world... "Yang Reform intends to tell these ministers what is in his heart. As for how many people listen to it, understand it, and help themselves, it can only be fate.

However, an emperor predicts that his dynasty will be a scene of the end of the world, and it will be overthrown.

Seeing the anxious faces of many ministers, Yang Reform was very angry. He knew that his words were very serious, but he didn't intend to let these ministers speak, so he suppressed them with his hands. The ministers had no choice but to give up and listen to the emperor's continuation.

"...I have always firmly believed that as long as I work hard and don't give up, things will always turn around. It depends on people's efforts. Things can always develop on the good side. Therefore, I hope that this is the key to the survival of my Ming Dynasty. The immigration process As long as my people don't give up on survival, don't give up hope, as long as they still believe that I am their emperor and they are my people, I will never abandon them. Even if it is thousands of mountains and rivers, if you search to the end of the sky, I will find a piece of land for them to live in peace..."

Although the emperor's words were not very sensational, nor were they very passionate, but many ministers in the court sobbed softly. The emperor said such solemn and awe-inspiring words, which made people cry.

Most of the ministers were surprised and shocked by the emperor's words!No one could have imagined that a person who had just ascended the throne and moved to the rebellious party would say something like this when he was in high spirits.This was so surprising that the hall was eerily quiet!No one knew how to answer the emperor's words.

Yang reformed a few words, and many ministers sobbed.Some of them even started to use their brains.

Zhou Yanru was one of the very smart ones. When he saw that the officials could not answer the emperor with words, he had an idea and raised his arms and shouted: "Don't give up, don't abandon... don't give up, don't abandon..."

Zhou Yanru's shout was immediately echoed by the officials, and some people began to shout: "Don't give up, don't abandon..."

Then, more and more people raised their arms and shouted: "Don't give up, don't give up..."

In a blink of an eye, this "don't give up, don't abandon..." became a cry like a sea wave, with great momentum.

Many of the officials, with tears in their eyes, raised their arms hoarsely and shouted, "Don't give up, don't abandon."

Yang Reform was also moved. He didn't expect that his few words would have such a sensational effect. He also stood up and raised his arms and shouted: "Don't give up, don't abandon..."

Don't give up, don't abandon, this word Yang Reform got from later TV, was used in this immigrant disaster relief, became the powerful slogan of this immigrant disaster relief, and also became the guiding program of immigrant disaster relief.

……

Shouting like a tsunami, after a while of sensationalism, the emotions of the ministers gradually calmed down.

Yang Reform is going to take the opportunity to throw out his silver coin plan. In the feudal history of China, there has never been a history of large-scale issuance of silver coins, let alone successful ones. It is conceivable that there is considerable resistance to the issuance of silver coins. and difficulty.To achieve this now, Yang Reform is very afraid of failure. Once he fails, he will not be able to get his military expenditures and many expenses this year. He may not be able to play for 17 years, and he may step down.

Therefore, Yang Reform deliberately chose such an opportunity to use such a big event as immigrant disaster relief to sensationalize, and use the remaining passion to throw out this matter to settle it. He missed this golden opportunity and will never find it again. Such a good time.

"Big companion, did the Baoquan Bureau send the silver coin?" Yang Reform has been worried about the silver coin. I don't know if the ninth-rank official has finished it. It will be much worse, because there is no real object, and the persuasive power is not strong. If there is a real object, the persuasive power will be much stronger, and the chance of success will be greater.

"Your Majesty, it has just been delivered, and it is still hot." Wang Chengen whispered, while taking out a few silver coins from a brocade box.

Yang Reform quickly took it, and sure enough, it seemed that there was still warmth left in his hands. Looking at the two sides of the silver coin, one side is his name "Chongzhen Tongbao", and the other side is the casting institution. The time of casting is in the middle. Although the coin value is not as exquisite as Yuan Datou, the handwriting is very clear and easy to recognize, and there is almost no difference in size. It is still very different from the silver coins smashed by foreign devils.

call……!Yang Reform breathed a sigh of relief, God helped me, and the silver coins were minted overnight.

"Mentors, today, I have one more matter that I want to discuss with you gentlemen." Yang Reform was full of confidence and prepared to approve the silver coin.

All the officials looked at the emperor to see what the emperor had to say.

"I think all the ministers and workers know that at present, our imperial expenses are huge and we need money urgently. However, the household department has no money, and my internal funds are about to run out. I am very anxious..." Yang Reform brewed for a while, and opened size.

All the ministers nodded their heads when they heard this. The current expenditure of the Chongzhen Dynasty is indeed unbelievably large, far exceeding that of the previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor said that he was short of money, which is absolutely true.

"...Someone gave me an idea, let me take back the right to mint coins and mint new money. Firstly, this is something I must do after I ascend the throne, and secondly, it can also be used to relieve the pressure on money. Ladies and gentlemen, What do you all think?" Yang Reform pondered for a while before continuing.

"My Majesty, it is His Majesty's right to mint new coins. When His Majesty ascends the throne, of course he has to mint new coins. Why not? Taking back the right to mint coins is a matter of course!" Shi Fenglai was the first to stand up to the emperor again. Speaker.

Most of the ministers also nodded. It is always time for the new emperor to mint new money when he ascends the throne. Now it is the middle of May, and it is time to mint new money.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that this statement is not false. All along, the imperial court can profit from it by casting and making money. The saying that there are seven coppers and three lead and copper six lead and four is not a false rumor... It can indeed alleviate the problem. With regard to financial pressure, I implore Your Majesty to take back the right to mint coins and issue new coins..." Bi Ziyan was the emperor's confidant, and he immediately stood up to be the emperor's entrustment in this matter, taking the lead and acting as a double act.

"I implore Your Majesty to take back the right to mint coins and issue new money..." The ministers also said that this is the inherent right of other emperors, and this one has to follow the emperor. Whoever opposes the emperor's issuance of new money is a fool.

"Very good!" Yang Reform felt very happy to see Bi Ziyan standing up to speak to himself and playing the oboe with himself.

"Issuing new money, this, I have a little idea,... my friend, show this box to all the ministers and workers..., all you gentlemen, take a look first, and then discuss it." Yang Reform turned to Wang Chengen and said After one sentence, he turned his head and said to the officials again.

Wang Chengen took the order to distribute the silver coins in this brocade box to the ministers.
