In the Rongxi Hall, Li Yunze, who was sitting high in the middle, held up a tea bowl and called Lin Ruhai to "drink tea."
Lin Ruhai, who smiled like the spring breeze blowing on his face, nodded and picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
We are all cultural people, and there are absolutely no shortage of procedures that we should go through before talking about things.
"Master."
Lin Ruhai, whose eyes were full of admiration, smiled and asked, "Then Wang Ziteng has returned from patrolling the border, and I don't know what arrangements should be made."
Li Yunze was very clear about his explicit and implicit implications, and after a brief pause he gave a reply: "The Liao region is becoming more and more corrupt, which can be attributed to the disaster caused by Shuntian staying behind to deal with the Jurchens."
He also gave a brief explanation: "It will take at least one or two years to organize and train troops and send troops to recover Liao. As for whether he can hold it, it depends on his luck."
The soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Ming Dynasty were both well-paid and invincible.
As long as you have enough pay, sufficient training, and decent equipment, then go for it.
As long as the Central Plains dynasty can be organized, its explosive fighting power cannot be matched by the border tribes.
In other words, that is the power that makes them despair.
It will take about a year for Li Yunze to reorganize the Beijing camp and train outside.
During this time, the Jurchens invaded Zhili in northern Kou. If Wang Ziteng could hold it, there would be a future. If he couldn't, naturally don't say anything.
Lin Ruhai nodded and thought it would be a good idea to throw Wang Ziteng into the fire pit to roast him.
As long as there are some mistakes, the last pillar of the Wang family can be completely crushed.
At that time, my sweet girl will be able to ride the waves.
"The burial of the two former emperors has been discussed by many people." Lin Ruhai, who entered the capital as the chief minister of the cabinet, naturally discussed national affairs with Li Yunze.
"Ashes will return to ashes, dust will return to dust. No matter how many grudges you have in the past, you can let them go now."
"Haha~~~That's right."
Lin Ruhai smiled in response, but what she was thinking in her heart was, 'The whole family has been lifted up by you, and they have really turned into dust. I can't even let go if I don't want to.'
"There are many things that are not diligent among all the officials in the court." Li Yunze began to arrange things. "My uncle will do his best to investigate."
Lin Ruhai instinctively wanted to refuse.
It's not that he doesn't give Li Yunze face, but that he is now the chief minister of the cabinet and also the minister of the Ministry of official affairs. His position is the head of the officials, so he naturally has to consider his subordinates.
This has nothing to do with anything else, it's purely a professional reason.
"The inventory should be carried out." Lin Ruhai nodded repeatedly, "But the scale must be controlled."
"No need to go to so much trouble." At this time, Li Yunze was also doing business and would not give any face to him because he was Lin Daiyu's father. "Just go to the Beijing Police Department."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Ruhai's expression suddenly changed.
The so-called Beijing inspection means that the Ministry of Personnel evaluates all officials in Beijing and promotes and appoints them through the four grids and eight methods.
This is a large-scale review. If the standards are strictly followed, a large number of officials will not be able to pass.
“This year we have tentatively decided to reduce the rate by one-third.”
When it came to this matter, Li Yunze did not discuss it, but directly ordered that "the vacancies should be filled by talented and virtuous people carefully selected by the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
"I'm afraid we don't have that many backup personnel."
"The capital's officials are bloated, so some of them can be abolished and merged. If there is really a shortage, we can open up Enke to recruit officials next year."
Li Yunze once again said, "Next year Enke can take more. After the Chinese New Year next year, we can come to Beijing again and reduce it by one-third and that will be enough."
Lin Ruhai sighed secretly, this was equivalent to firing most of the officials in the capital.
"I'll spare my uncle's attention on this matter." Li Yunze picked up the tea bowl. "After we finish talking about business, let's go to the backyard for the banquet. Sister Lin and the others are probably impatient to wait."
"Hahahaha~~~" Lin Ruhai laughed and stood up, "Now that you have entered the mansion, you should abide by the rules of the mansion. If she still loses her temper, I will teach her a lesson."
In Huifang Garden, the orioles are singing and the swallows are dancing, and everything you see is in bloom.
All the golden hairpins gathered here, and there was endless laughter and laughter.
There are no more bullying elders with strict rules above them, no good-for-nothing men who are incompetent to the outside world and arrogant at home. Only the sisters gather together to eat, drink and play, which is really fun.
When Li Yunze and Lin Ruhai came over, everyone saluted.
Seeing the two most important men in her life beside her, Sister Lin's little face turned into a smile.
However, Wang Xifeng was jealous of this and even asked Li Yunze, "Second uncle has also returned to Beijing, why not invite him?"
'Of course it's because you and Sister Lin are going to decide the outcome.'
Li Yunze was complaining in his heart, but he kept saying good things. "My second uncle has made outstanding achievements, and the court has other important uses for him. He has to be busy with matters about leaving Beijing, so he has no time to have a drink."
"Didn't you just come back to Beijing?" Wang Xifeng was surprised, "Why are you leaving Beijing again?"
"How can you enter the court without visiting the place?" Li Yunze said casually, "When he comes back, he will naturally enter the cabinet."
Sister Feng was so happy that she took Li Yunze's arm and lowered her voice shyly, "I really want to thank you for taking care of the Wang family. Come and have a look at my house tonight. The chrysanthemums in my house are about to bloom."
"Um?"
Li Yunze's eyes immediately lit up, he stared at the shy Sister Feng, and nodded vigorously, "Yes!"
After a banquet, Li Yunze felt restless and looked up from time to time to look at the sky.
As soon as it got dark, he couldn't wait to get up and leave.
Lin Ruhai took Lin Daiyu to talk. He had many things to explain to his daughter.
After the two of them left, the atmosphere finally relaxed.
The sisters were laughing, playing, eating and drinking, it was so lively.
Sister Feng looked around and saw that everyone was having fun, so she quietly stood up and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, when he stood up, he met Li Wan's eyes and saw her looking at him with a half-smile. Even Feng Lazi blushed with embarrassment.
"She doesn't know that the chrysanthemums in my house are about to bloom, so what is she afraid of?" Sister Feng, who was trying to cheer herself up, looked back and saw that Li Wan was already having a drink with Xue Baochai next door.
Sister Feng felt a sense of surprise and uncertainty in her heart, but she could only stomp her feet and turn around to leave.
All the way back to the house, I saw Ping'er helping Li Yunze wash up.
Recalling Li Wan's gaze before, Sister Feng felt angry.
She sat down next to Li Yunze, "My second uncle's family is going south, why don't you let your elder sister-in-law follow?"
"Which of your eyes can see that I didn't let my sister-in-law go?" Li Yunze turned around with a puzzled expression, "She didn't want to go because of Lan Geer's studies. What does it have to do with me?"
Sister Feng, who had eaten the wine, was also a little drunk. She sneered, "Don't think that I don't know about your frivolous intestines. You only like this one!"
Li Yunze felt that he had been wronged, "You can talk nonsense, but if you are drunk and want to cause trouble, then I will leave."
Seeing Li Yunze getting up to leave, Sister Feng hurriedly stopped him, "No, just think I said something wrong. Today is a good day, you have to stay with me."
"What a good day?" Li Yunze sat back on the bed.
"We've been married for so long, it's time to have children."
"Yeah." Li Yunze nodded and looked at Ping'er who went out with a washbasin towel and closed the door. "You're right. But before that, I have to see the chrysanthemum in your room."
"Look at you like that." Sister Feng rolled her eyes at him quietly, and held his hand in a flirtatious tone.
There have been many major events in the Zhou Dynasty recently.
First, there was the burial of the late emperor and the Supreme Emperor. Although it was simple, it had to be seen off by hundreds of officials.
There was no major construction work at the burial place, and both father and son were sent to the mausoleum prepared by the Supreme Emperor for himself.
After the hasty burial, no one paid much attention to it.
Then the Beijing camp was reorganized into the 12th regiment camp. Many veterans of Li Yunze's headquarters joined the various regiment camps as the backbone of the generals. Most of his personal guards were incorporated into the Forbidden Army and were recruited, mobilized and reorganized.
The nobles who originally controlled the military power lost power one after another during this reorganization, and many were even accused of being allies of the Supreme Emperor and were stripped of their titles.
For example, historians who have never been to Tiewan Mountain before.
There is also a virtuous concubine who serves as the queen mother and listens to politics behind the curtain.
It's just that the virtuous concubine will basically not appear, and all the affairs of the country are in the hands of Grand Master Jia and the cabinet.
The one that frightened all the officials the most was naturally the Jingcha.
The Beijing inspection, which was personally presided over by Lin Ruhai, the chief assistant of the cabinet and the official of the Ministry of Personnel, did not save any face.
A large number of Beijing officials were either demoted or dismissed, and the more unlucky ones were sent directly to the Three Laws Division.
The situation inside and outside Shenjing City can be described as turbulent.
On this day, Li Yunze transported a large amount of potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, hybrid rice and other high-yielding grain seeds from the modern world to the official warehouse outside the city, and arranged for manual transportation and distribution to be planted everywhere.
The disasters are severe in various places, and we can only rely on these high-yielding crops to save lives.
Although there are no large-scale chemical fertilizers and complete water conservancy facilities, the corresponding output will inevitably be greatly reduced.
But compared to now, it is definitely better than nothing.
When I returned to the mansion, I learned that the bowling ball was Shi Nai, the Marquis of Bowling, who was seeking an audience with Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing.
"Let them wait." Li Yunze was not in a hurry to see the brothers, but went to Li Wan's yard first.
"Sister-in-law." Li Yunze greeted with a smile, "Where's Brother Lan."
"Going to school." After sitting down, Li Wan greeted the maids to serve tea, "How come my second uncle has time to come see Lan Geer?"
He can only come to Jia Lan, but if he comes to see her Li Wan, that won't work.
"Next year the court will open Enke." Li Yunze picked up the tea bowl, "I want Lang Geer to end."
Hearing this, Li Wan was so distracted that the tea bowl in his hand overturned.
Ignoring the burnt hand and simply wiping it, Li Wan hurriedly asked, "Isn't it too early?"
"It's getting late." Li Yunze smiled slightly, "I'd better finish school early, or go to high school early. It's not good to waste time. You can still take exams when your hair is gray."
"In that case, then listen to your second uncle." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that Jia Lan had only passed the county school exam, but had not passed the national examination.
Li Wan couldn't help feeling regretful, "Second uncle, Lan'er has never passed the national examination."
"It doesn't matter." Li Yunze shook his hand, "We can let Brother Lang go directly to Taixue, and all Taixue students can directly join Enke."
"Why is it so easy to get into Taixue?" Before he finished speaking, Li Wan looked up at Li Yunze in surprise.
Only then did she remember that the uncle in front of her had the final say in the Zhou Dynasty.
"This is easy." Li Yunze waved his hand again, "It's just a matter of one sentence."
Li Wan stood up, her pretty face full of gratitude. She respectfully saluted Li Yunze, "Thank you, uncle."
"I forgot to tell you." Li Yunze smiled even brighter, "This time Enke, I am the examiner."
Hearing this, Li Wan's heart was filled with joy.
What you have been thinking about in your heart will come true before your eyes!
The look in Li Yunze's eyes was filled with gratitude.
