Regarding the military parade, Zhu Houcong felt that there was much to be done. It just so happened that the three armies returned in triumph. Many of the subsequent actions were related to the army. It would be good to show them off. There is no need to hide them like this.
After a period of time, you will change your mind. Before, you wanted to hide it and not let others know about it, but there are benefits to showing it. At least it can shock Xiaoxiao. If you are not convinced, you have to weigh it and think about how much meat you have.
"Your Majesty, isn't this good? According to the custom, the top three are chosen by your Majesty, and there will be a palace examination later." Yan Song saw that your Majesty wanted to give up the choice, and he immediately became anxious. What kind of thing is this? No.
Is there anything missing in the imperial examination? Your Majesty really wants to figure it out.
"If I have anything to test them for, you can do it as you please. If they want to get my attention, they are still far away. Just call them over and take a test alone. As for those vacant positions, from Jinyiwei
Find someone inside to help. Don’t be stingy with those who are capable. Don’t let those who fish in troubled waters get through. Anyway, I don’t care. Where did Qi Jingtong go?”
Just kidding, what’s so interesting about a group of scholars? You may like them as much as you like. Anyway, this is the treatment. You can just say whether you want to be an official or not. In the end, they will all be pissed off. It’s totally meaningless. It’s better to have more.
Run the army.
The two looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. If they had some thoughts in their hearts, they would be crazy with joy. Your Majesty is completely indifferent. This is not just a small trick.
But they didn't, and that was fucked. His Majesty didn't care about anything, and everything was returned to them, which made them don't know what to say.
But I guess I really can’t count on Your Majesty. After all, if His Majesty stops your officialdom, it will be embarrassing when the time comes. It doesn’t matter. It’s all done now anyway. I believe those students can understand.
"Reporting to your Majesty, General Qi is working on the military merit system, and now he has some clues."
"You guys can be lazy, that's fine, just let him do it. I have something else to do, but I haven't thought about it yet. I'll come to him when I think about it." Zhu Houcong didn't think anything of it. If Wang Yangming really didn't
Even if Qi Jingtong can't be used for a long time, he still has to give it a try.
Of course, if it doesn't work, let's talk about it. It is indeed not easy. It is very difficult to find a Confucian general. There are only a few Confucian generals in the entire history of China. He has a Wang Yangming who is capable of both literary and military skills. It is already very good.
I just don't know where this guy went.
"May I ask Your Majesty, what is it?" Yan Song asked quietly. He was really afraid of death. The imperial examination matter was about to be solved, but it has not been solved yet. Now he has to find something to do. You know
Looking to Qi Jingtong when something happens doesn't mean that you only look to Qi Jingtong. Once things become uncontrollable, they will have to go to help, and they will really die.
Maybe they don't need their help at all, maybe His Majesty has already found a job for them. His Majesty talks about letting people rest, but in fact, he really doesn't treat people as human beings. The two of them deeply understand His Majesty's ability to get things done.
But what I have to say is that many of the things His Majesty has to do make sense. His decisions are almost error-free and are more suitable for today's development. Maybe the only problem is the lack of manpower. Many of His Majesty's ideas
It is their fault that none of them can be realized.
"It's nothing big. It just so happens that you are both here. This matter also has something to do with you. Let's discuss whether we can do it. I plan to hold a military parade. It just so happens that the army comes back and shows it out, and we
Many people in the outside world are speculating on such a new weapon. Let’s not let them guess. Let’s just show it to them and let them calm down a bit. Next, I may have to deal with taxation to let them take care of themselves.
Weigh it, weigh it."
As the saying goes, peace brings wealth, and it would be best if the transition can be smooth. Zhu Houcong does not want to cause a bloody storm. In fact, in the end, when the people get rich, money starts to flow, and it will eventually flow into them. Class-related
Change is not that easy.
But I am afraid that some people do not know the current affairs and do not know how to promote. What can Zhu Houcon do if he refuses to drink a toast and is fined with wine? He can only attack head-on and subdue those who stir up trouble, so that the whole country can be stable.
"Ah, ah?" The two of them looked at each other. Good guys, just now they were thinking about whether the matter would involve them. Isn't this matter coming? It's not something to worry about at first glance. If it really wants to happen, it must be done.
With the full cooperation of various departments, since the enemy must be deterred in terms of weapons, he must show some wealth. Isn't this Yang Shen's business?
Good guys, neither of them has missed a beat. This hasn't even started yet. They have already imagined the future.
"Your Majesty, this is a good thing, but it may not be suitable at the moment. After all, the army has just returned to Beijing and is exhausted. Is it not a good idea to hold a military parade at this time?" Yan Song tried hard to organize his words. How should he say it?
, it’s not that he doesn’t want to do it, or that he’s lazy, but it’s really inappropriate at this time. Although I know His Majesty’s thoughts, many of the military’s structures are currently not sound, and the war has just ended.
Yang Shen nodded frantically beside him, "Good guy, Your Majesty, can you take a rest? It seems that the injury is really not serious. I started to think of ideas again. What fun this time, a military parade, those things, Qi Jingtong's soldiers"
How could he possibly understand that these things were all equipped by their royal guards, so that in the end, nothing would fall on him?
But goodbye, he is still responsible for building the city and developing weapons. His work is no less than that of Yan Song, but he has more people under his command, but they are all cultivated bit by bit.
He came here to help purely out of pity for Yan Song. Your Majesty, you don’t think I’m idle, right?
Zhu Houcong did not agree very much with what Yan Song said. Of course, he understood their difficulties, but he also had his own ideas. After doing this, if taxation can be implemented smoothly, then everything will be fine. Taxation is the cornerstone of the country, and there is no stable source of taxation.
, how can the country maintain long-term peace and stability?
Although I have made a huge fortune recently and made more than one billion, if converted into today's tax revenue, it would be at least nearly a hundred years of tax revenue, but is this enough?
This is obviously not enough. The country needs long-term stability. After all, the annual revenue and expenditure must maintain a relative balance. Once the situation stabilizes and the official system can be replenished, he will continue to distribute this windfall.
Anyone who builds bridges or builds roads doesn't need money. Not to mention other things, these officials are given tens of thousands of taels of silver per person and given a county to govern. Only in this way can we see a person's ability and character.
Of course, when it comes to this, the importance of intelligence comes to the fore. The assessment of these officials should not only be based on their superficial political achievements, but also on their reputation and the process of these things.
Although he focuses on results, he wants real results, not the so-called political achievements they show to themselves.
"Well, you also have your difficulties. There are many things ahead, and the army will continue to expand. It's just that we still have to do it. It doesn't have to be big. Let's make our guys' affairs clear and let everyone know what's going on.
, Of course, you are also busy recently, and I also know that after a while, the Jinyiwei will prepare things. I will go to Qi Jingtong to talk about it. The following things will be more complicated. It is best if you can defeat the enemy without fighting.
It’s nothing more than that.”
He has already seen Yang Shen's bitter look. Don't look at it. This is your business. I know you are busy, but who is not busy now? There is no need for you to do anything else. Just get some weapons to support your appearance.
"Then how does Your Majesty plan to deal with taxation? This matter is not easy. Now all the aristocratic families are waiting and watching. That's because His Majesty's measures have not yet hit their sore spots. Once this is done, no one will be able to sit still.
.”
Yan Song knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, so he accepted it calmly. Besides, it was mainly Qi Jingtong's business, and Yang Shen's fault later on. What did it have to do with him? This guy had nothing to do in the past two days and he came to ridicule him. Come on,
Come back to life again and let your kid get the best of you.
"Of course I know. I just want to prepare for this matter. First recruit troops and then settle the internal situation. To be honest, I won't be short of money for a while. Taxation is actually not that urgent, but this matter will definitely be carried out within three years.
, it must be resolved within five years, so it is better to prepare early. This matter is inevitable and cannot be avoided, but it has little to do with you. Where the army is, who dares to move? Let him talk to Qi Jingtong.
That’s it.”
Just kidding, if the country doesn’t collect taxes, what kind of country is it? If you do business on your own, then it’s still a government. If you have that time, it’s better to open a company and save worry.
"No." The two agreed quickly. It would be fine if it didn't have anything to do with them. They were used to His Majesty's brain circuit and couldn't resist, so they just accepted it calmly. Besides, it didn't have anything to do with them.
"First, clear up the tasks at hand. Yan Song, you still have to train your own team. No matter what you do, at least there must be someone below to do it. Look at Yang Shen. The more things come, the more things will come. But there are people below.
, you don’t have to run by yourself at all, it’s like you are just like a polished commander.”
Zhu Houcong knew that they were busy, but he had no choice. If Yan Song didn't do these things, how could he, the emperor, do it himself? He, the chief minister, could only work hard for him.
Of course, the hard work is not in vain. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. As long as he can train the younger generations, it will be fine gradually.
"Don't snicker there. Your Jin Yiwei is just a ready-made one. If such a big Jin Yiwei can't even do this single reading, I'll skin you alive." Zhu Houcong glared at Yang Shen who was snickering there.
, my dear, it seems that you are not busy enough, and you are still acting like a good boy when you get the advantage.
"Why don't you, Your Majesty, just evacuate me? I want to go home and retire now." Yang Shen grinned, "Good guy, I'm very busy too. Your Majesty, don't suppress me just because you feel sorry for him."
Be careful I give up my job.
"Retirement care? If you rush back to provide for retirement, I will dare to ask your father to come out to work. Stop being a prankster. If you work hard, you will be ile, and the benefits will be yours." Zhu Houcong rolled his eyes, wanting to give up his job and show you what you can do.
"No." What else could the two of them say? The tasks had already been arranged and they had nothing to say.
"Okay, I won't stay here anymore. You guys should finish your work early and rest for a while. I'll go back first. I still have things to do over there." It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Anyway, I just came to express my condolences. The most important thing is to repay
It's safe. Kong Ci's side should be over soon. He has to talk to him about life when he goes back.
"Farewell to Your Majesty."
"By the way, where are the Confucian scholars who were arrested recently?"
"Your Majesty, they are all locked up in the Jinyi Guards." Yang Shen was a little unsure of what his Majesty was going to do. Didn't he agree to throw them outside the Great Wall for education? Did he change his mind again?
"Well, pick thirty or forty people for me. I will be useful. In addition, pick ten from your Jinyi Guards who have studied Confucianism. They have tasks, but they are also dangerous. You can ask who is willing to go. After all,
It’s not an opportunity either.”
Zhu Houcong is still very tolerant of regular employees. The principle is completely voluntary, and the benefits are obvious. Once this group succeeds, at worst they can be regarded as big bosses in the intelligence department. After all, this is for the whole country and even the world.
, sitting in the top positions in such a powerful department is no better than working in Jinyiwei.
As for the arrested scholar Zhu Houcong, he is not afraid. The brainwashing effect of the power of faith is still very good. I just don’t know how far it can reach, but the power of faith given to him is very pure. There should be no problems. After all, he is innate.
It shouldn't be a big problem if they can all come up with a group of acquired masters, but they all have to be tried.
"Promise, I'll do it now." What can Yang Shen say? His Majesty may have thought of some new trick, just go back and look for it. If your Majesty says there is a big opportunity, then there must be one. Let's see who will be so lucky.
"Okay, I'll leave then. Do what I asked you to do as soon as possible. Don't delay." Zhu Houcong waved his hand and left. Everyone has their own things to do, so don't delay after talking.
When he went back, Kong Ci had almost finished it. Zhu Houcong briefly talked to him about his thoughts. Of course, he also asked for his opinions and suggestions. After all, this was just his idea. What should others do if they don't want to do it?
"Promise, I will do whatever your Majesty does, and I will go through fire and water for His Majesty." Kong Ci breathed slightly, a little excited. He was involved in the entire Ming Dynasty's intelligence system, and he held great power. Just thinking about it made people's blood rush.
He is not the kind of person who is particularly eager for power, but he has his own dreams, pursuits and ambitions. In this way, he can not only fulfill his duty but also repay His Majesty's kindness. Why not?
