Chapter 430 Minister and young general

In the past few days, the entire Ming Dynasty has been immersed in the carnival of victory.

Yang Reform is no exception. He has a lot of energy and has enough energy to deal with government affairs. He goes to work on time every day and handles political affairs diligently.

Today, Yang Reform is even more energetic.

Good news came from Xu Guangqi that the sweet potatoes in Shaanxi were about to be harvested, and it was estimated that the harvest would be quite rich. According to the original estimate, [-] shi would not be a problem.

After Yang Reform heard the news, he jumped up for joy. This sweet potato is indeed a good thing against the sky. In such a famine year, it can actually be harvested against the trend. This undoubtedly shows that sweet potatoes are a magic weapon against drought. , The problem of drought and famine in the late Ming Dynasty encountered a nemesis. Facts have proved that sweet potatoes are worth promoting on a large scale and are worth promoting forcefully.Undoubtedly, this is a very important thing for me, and it is a very happy thing, so the rest is to forcefully promote and grow sweet potatoes.

"In the past few days, it's really double happiness!" Yang Reform said happily.In the past few days, not only the news of Zhenjiang Fort's great victory came, but also this kind of more gratifying news. Yang Reform was so happy that he couldn't find North.

"Your Majesty Hongfu, God bless me!" Wang Chengen flattered with a smile. This was a smile from the heart. Looking at the sufferings of the emperor in the past few days, he naturally understood how happy the emperor was these few days.

"Hahaha..." Yang Reform laughed loudly.

The team of walking chariots went straight to Wenhua Hall.

As every day, shout long live first, and then start to discuss.

"There is a big happy event today. Guess what it is." Yang Reform talked about it as soon as he started.

"Your Majesty, what about Man Gui, the good news from Man Gui?" A minister immediately guessed that the war in the north has brought good news one after another. In addition to the direction of Zhenjiang Fort, there have also been many memorials to Man Gui to announce the good news. .

Yang Reform shook his head.

"Your Majesty, could it be the stock..." A minister asked abruptly, halfway through the question, he dared not say anything in the second half. Of course, everyone understands what this means. Doesn't the stock mean the stock of Liulizhai?In this matter, the emperor has already earned enough money, and the officials are jealous. Of course, in addition to jealousy, many ministers have also made a lot of money. When the emperor said the big happy event, he immediately thought of this. When something happened, I thought that the stock price of Liulizhai had risen sharply again.

Yang Reform shook his head again. Although the matter of Liulizhai's stocks is indeed something to be happy about, it is indeed very important, but how long has it been?Why are the things in the heads of these ministers different from their own?

"Your Majesty, could it be something about Donglu? Another major change?" A minister guessed that Zhenjiang Fort is the one that can be said to be a big happy event. However, that happened a few days ago. I need to talk about that today!Unless there is a major change in Donglu.

Yang Reform shook his head again. Although these ministers were all talking about happy events, no one guessed it right.Yang Reform sighed, it seems that the things in the head of the court minister are different from his own, the way of looking at problems and thinking about problems is different from his own.

All the ministers looked at the emperor, not knowing what the emperor was talking about. Now there are quite a lot of happy events to talk about. Apart from the great victory in Zhenjiang Fort, the results in Mangui are also quite fruitful. Surround a tribe today, and incorporate one tomorrow. It can be regarded as a happy event; the emperor sold the stock of Liulizhai, which made a lot of money, which made the ministers' eyes red. For the emperor, it was also a happy event that couldn't be more happy. It's been a long time, the emperor is so happy today, could it be that the emperor has made a lot of money again? ... These are all happy events, but if you want to talk about a great happy event, there is nothing better than the Zhenjiang Fort victory. However, the Zhenjiang Fort victory was not mentioned two days ago?Could it be that something big happened again?Or that Donglu surrendered to the ground and asked to be attached?Completely solved the problem of Donglu?Everyone couldn't help speculating, but they were expecting the emperor to break some news.

Yang Reform wanted to make all the ministers happy with him, but after he talked for a long time, no one answered. Looking at the puzzled expressions of the ministers, he seemed to have no idea what he was happy about, and he didn't seem to know what he was talking about. What is the happy event? Yang Reform was a little disappointed.

"Master Xu said in the memorandum that the sweet potatoes planted in Shaanxi this year will be harvested soon, and it will not be a problem to complete the set goal of [-] shi. Some counties can even exceed the quota..." Yang Reform thinks that he is a big The happy event was said.

"Your Majesty, did you say that Xu Zixian's sweet potato harvest is in sight?" Shi Fenglai asked.

"Exactly, I didn't expect that in this kind of drought season, this sweet potato can be harvested against the trend without fear of drought. This is really the savior God gave me to Daming!" Yang Reform's interest at the beginning Bobo, there is not much left now, and what I think is a big thing, in the eyes of these ministers, it is nothing.

"It's thanks to His Majesty's sagacity, his eyes are like a torch, and he can find this kind of god-given treasure..." A group of ministers saw that the emperor was so happy about this matter, and they were not stingy in flattering them. To be honest, although this event is a happy event, It's something to be happy about, but it's not as good as the Zhenjiang Fort victory, let alone the money the emperor earned from selling stocks. Of course, it is undeniable that this is also good news.

"Well, there has been a conclusion before. The quality is determined according to the output of sweet potatoes. Excellent rewards, promotions, those who fail to complete the task, those who should be reprimanded, and those who should be resigned..." Yang Reform said a little tastelessly, such joy , but can not share, is undoubtedly a depressing thing.

It was only then that the ministers remembered that there was indeed such a conclusion before. Planting sweet potatoes to resist drought and disaster was one of the methods proposed by Xu Guangqi when discussing disaster relief long ago. Later, the situation in Shaanxi was urgent, and the drought and civil uprising had reached the point of imminent outbreak , Therefore, there is this kind of sweet potato planting, to fight against drought, and to judge the quality of sweet potato production.If there are a lot of sweet potatoes, the assessment can be given as excellent, and they can be promoted first. The top few will definitely be promoted. It was a sensation for a while, but as time passed, this matter gradually faded away. Besides, there are too many big facts happening in this capital, at the foot of this imperial city, and there are too many facts that attract attention. After the past few months, people gradually forgot about it. When the emperor brought it up today, everyone remembered that they laughed at that "growing sweet potatoes is worse than being an official", and now it has to be put on the agenda again.

"Report to Your Majesty, I think that since the conclusion was reached that day, the harvest is imminent, so it should be done according to what was agreed on that day..." A minister came out and said, if this matter was put in the past, it would definitely be a sensation. Everyone will continue to wait and see to see who grows good sweet potatoes and gets promoted. However, there are too many things that attract people's attention, and there are too many things that make people think about it. This kind of thing has become irrelevant It's important, and faded out of everyone's sight.

"Well, if that's the case, let the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate send personnel to go to the prefectures and counties of Shaanxi together with the Secretary of Agriculture to verify the sweet potato production in each prefecture and county, and be careful to prevent anyone from falsifying..." Yang Reform somewhat Said tastelessly.

The minister didn't say anything, so he agreed. After all, this matter has already been agreed.

Yang's reform is very tasteless. I wanted to take advantage of this sweet potato harvest to tell the ministers about the promotion of sweet potatoes across the country, win the support of the ministers, and use administrative power to forcibly push sweet potatoes to the whole country in a very short period of time, increasing production. Food, to fight against natural disasters, but Yang Reform didn't have the heart to talk about today's incident. Perhaps, in the eyes of these ministers, planting sweet potatoes is nothing at all, just a funny thing.

Yang Reform sighed. It seems that there is no need to talk about this matter for the time being. Anyway, the sweet potato harvest is coming soon, and he already has some promotion experience. The seeds and technology are enough. Now it is okay not to talk about expansion and promotion. , Now it’s winter, we need to grow sweet potatoes, we need to promote them, and we will go until next year. By next year, my situation will change a lot. I don’t know whether I should discuss it with the courtiers in such a serious way, maybe Next year, if I make an imperial decree, the whole country will immediately set off a frenzy of planting sweet potatoes, which is far stronger than my own wasting words here.

A few more minor matters were dealt with, and the small court meeting ended.

Yang Reform came happily, but came back disappointed, yelling bad luck in his heart.

However, if you are not happy, you are not happy, and things have to be done.

"Big companion, write to Master Xu and tell him that I know about sweet potatoes. Let Master Xu sum up his experience in planting and promoting sweet potatoes for future use. He also needs to reserve enough seeds for nationwide promotion in the coming year..." Yang Reform doesn't want to discuss with the courtiers, but that doesn't mean he won't do things. Instead of talking nonsense with those people, it's better to do things quietly by himself. Those people don't look down on sweet potatoes, and sweet potatoes have nothing to do with them , but has a considerable relationship with himself.

"Of order, Your Majesty..." Wang Chengen agreed from the side.

After walking for a while, Yang Reform was still quite depressed.

"Your Majesty, the little heroes from Dongjiang Town have arrived. Would Your Majesty want to summon them?" Seeing that the emperor was gloomy, Wang Chengen approached him again and said.

"Oh, is that so? Are they here? So fast!" Yang Reform asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, yes, they have arrived." Wang Chengen said with a smile.

"Okay! Summon me immediately, um, call Guo Huan here again, I need to find him..." Yang Reform immediately became energetic. The little hero of Dongjiang Town is talking about a group that emerged during the battle of Zhenjiang Fort. The batch performed well, with typical and representative military exploits.To win over the barrel of a gun, naturally one cannot let go, and to arrest a group of promising young officers. Yang Reform has noticed this problem a long time ago. For example, Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, these people are all under the care of Yang Reform. The battle of Zhenjiang Fort , A group of young military officers with "promise" also emerged, and Yang Reform was also planning to win over them, so he called these young military officers with military exploits into Beijing under a casual name.

platform.

It was the first time for Ma Shitou and Ermao to go to Beijing, and the first time to enter the imperial palace. Looking at the majestic and majestic palace, they felt uneasy, and being summoned by the emperor made them even more excited.

"Long live, long live my emperor..." On the platform, there were the kowtows of several young generals, mixed with the voice of an eunuch. This eunuch was Guo Huan. Now, he is the palm print of the Grand Theater. Eunuch.

"Okay, let's all get up!" Yang Reform looked happily at these young generals. They were young, strong, dark-skinned, and the childishness on their faces had receded. Looking at them, they walked out of the battlefield. These are all my future generals!
"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En." The young generals all got up.

"Who is Ma Shitou?" Yang Reform asked.

Ma Shitou was surprised that the emperor called him by his nickname, which made the anxious Ma Shitou feel that the emperor was very kind, so he quickly calmed down, and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I am here."

Yang Reform looked at it and was very satisfied. He is a young brave general who dares to fight and rush.

"I heard that you dared to charge Donglu Niulu with [-] riders, and even killed a Niulu Ezhen? With nearly a hundred Donglu chasing you, you went away calmly, forcing Donglu not to dare to chase?" Yang Reformed Asked curiously, isn't this young general the guy who invented that "obscene style"?This kind of tactic is now carried forward by Dongjiang Town. As soon as the wild boar skin comes, he will run away immediately. If the wild boar skin dares to chase, he will deal with it like this. In fact, in this battle of Zhenjiang Fort, he played a lot of roles and stuck many people from the East.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is this minister. This minister feels that there is nothing to be afraid of, and there is no need to be afraid. If a Tartar is shot, he will still die, and if he is hit by a grenade, he will still bloom..." This young general is not afraid at all. The energy of things.

Yang Reform was very happy. Although this guy was younger than himself, the energy he exerted was indeed quite large. With his daring to fight and his tactics, he was able to forcefully defeat the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty army. The morale has improved a lot, which made the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers a lot more courageous against the Eastern captives.

"Okay! What a young general, I like talents like you! How old is this year?" Yang Reform asked. In fact, the information of these people, in the past, has long been available, and Yang Reform has also read it. However, the information on paper Things are put on paper, but it is different from asking them personally. It is just a few casual words that make the relationship closer.

"Return to Your Majesty, this minister is 17 years old." Ma Shitou said confidently.

"Okay! The future generations are awesome!... Hehe, this time, Zhenjiang Fort's great victory, you have made a great contribution, what do you want me to reward?" Yang Reform asked.

"Your Majesty's reward is the honor of a lowly official, so I dare not ask for it!" Ma Shitou hurriedly said modestly. Of course, he desperately hoped that the emperor could be granted a half-job.

"Hehe, you will be rewarded for your merits, and I will reward you with a hundred households of Jinyiwei." Yang Reform said without hesitation.The officials of Jinyiwei do not need to discuss with anyone, it is the emperor's private land, whether to wholesale or retail, it all depends on the emperor's will.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, and I will swear to serve His Majesty!" Ma Shitou knelt down and kowtowed excitedly. At such a young age, he won the official position of Jin Yiwei Hundred Households. He really has a bright future. The weight of this official position , may be more important than his uncle's official position as Chief Qian. Of course, his uncle is now a general.

"Hehehe, work hard, don't let me down, don't go back for now, go to the new army, train for a period of time, gain knowledge, learn a bit, in the future, you will have a bright future, I am optimistic about you." Yang Reform said happily.

"The humble minister leads the order!" Ma Shitou agreed without hesitation.

Ermao was rather stunned, not as sharp and vigilant as Ma Shitou. He stood there quietly, and the emperor never asked, never moved, and never said a word.

"You are Ermao?" Yang Reform still called out these people's nicknames and nicknames to enhance their relationship.

Ermao was really touched by the emperor's phrase "Ermao". Thinking about it, the emperor is a high-ranking, god-like person, and now he kindly calls himself Ermao, Ermao feels very warm.

"My minister is here." Er Mao also followed Ma Shitou's answer.

"I heard that your luck is quite good? You are also a person who is not afraid of death? You have a unique skill, you can throw the grenade very accurately, right? I heard that you turned the tide at Zhenjiang Fort that night, so that your entire arm was swollen ?” Yang Reform has read the battle reports about these people, and he knows a little about them, so he is very optimistic about such an honest person who is a bit dull.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I am not afraid of death, and I am not afraid of Tartars. At that time, I was only thinking of killing Tartars, so I can't control that much. The grenades I threw were really accurate." Ermao and Ma Shitou were different. The same thing is that Ermao is obviously much more "honest", and he seems a little dull. When it comes to the night battle, Ermao seems even more dull.

Yang Huaihe looked at this dull man, and he had an idea in his heart, and shouted: "Stand at attention!"

The people on the platform immediately stood at attention when they heard the sound, and their movements were almost the same. When they heard the sound, they immediately reacted, and there was a "pop" sound on the platform.

When Er Mao heard the command to "stand at attention", he immediately straightened his legs, put his heels together, raised his head and chest, and put his hands tightly on the outside of his thighs, a standard standing at attention posture.

Seeing this, Yang Reform understood a lot of things. The people in Dongjiang Town had also received some training from the new army, so they could understand their own orders. From the reaction of his sudden command, we could see something.

When the people on their own platform heard the command, they immediately stood up with a "snap", acted in unison, and carried out the order when they heard it, which is very good.

Among these young generals, the only one who can keep up with his actions on the platform is Ermao. When he heard the order, he executed it immediately without any doubt. He was undoubtedly a good soldier and a good soldier who obeyed orders.

Ma Shitou was a little bit slower, he seemed to be shocked when he heard the order, and then he stood at attention, and the others were almost the same, after hearing the order, they thought for a while, or doubted, or I was shocked to find that everyone else was standing at attention, so I followed suit, which was not bad.

Of course, they were not the last ones to carry out their orders. The eunuch Guo Huan didn't even know what standing at attention was. Hearing the emperor's sudden shout, the people on the platform froze immediately. They were very surprised!Seeing that everyone else was standing "at attention", he also secretly pulled his separated feet together. Seeing that the emperor was looking at him, he was very embarrassed, and while secretly putting his feet together, he smiled awkwardly at the emperor.

Through the reaction to his sudden order, Yang Reform has already seen something.

"Relax!" Yang Reform suddenly ordered again.

This time, almost everyone on the platform executed the "rest" command at the same time, except for Guo Huan, who was embarrassed, who was half a beat behind.

"Good! That's right. I am very satisfied with your performance. If you can respond to my orders as quickly as possible, you are my good soldiers!" Yang Reform praised.

People on the platform began to continue to work on their own.The young generals who had been summoned also breathed a sigh of relief.
