Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

It is a great thing for the civil servants that the emperor has chosen the queen early. They don't have to worry about the sudden royal draft that disturbs the people, and the people in Gyeonggi are jumping like dogs and rushing to marry their daughters.Of course, the news spread quickly, and the county magistrates of all counties in Gyeonggi soon found out, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Every time the palace selects nuns, the eunuch in charge of the selection will inevitably cause chaos wherever he goes.At that time, the county magistrate is the most nervous, and will be suddenly ordered by the eunuch to close the gate of the county seat, and then according to the population yellow book, all girls of the right age will be marked out, and the chief will notify the people to send them away from house to house. When you go to the county government, if you don't leave, you will have no peace...

This year, it is the common thinking of the county magistrates in Gyeonggi that they have to give the emperor a pillar of incense.

Where there is support, there is loss.People in Gyeonggi who have smart daughters in the range of [-], [-] to [-] or [-] years old are not so happy.The royal family will have a draft in Gyeonggi every few years. In the past, when the daughters entered the palace and became concubines, the lintels were changed immediately. The father and brother got official positions, lived in a large courtyard with bricks and tiles, and could eat meat and wear silk.

But what the people at the bottom think, has no impact on the overall situation.Even those honorable families in the capital, when they learned that the only daughter of the Duke of England was chosen as the queen by the emperor, they just closed the door and muttered a few words at home, taking a sour look.But even there are not many such families, and those who are unhappy are all those who have a son who is considered promising and can inherit the title, and is ready to tiptoe to marry the British daughter.

Alas, seeing that the status of the Duke of England continues to be strong, and the son of the Duke of England is reused by the emperor, it is a pity that his own family can't get involved.Think about the fact that the British duchess told everyone this year that they would keep their daughters for two more years, and no one would show any interest in asking for marriage. To the insider's feeling.

It must be that the Duke of England has been ingratiating himself with the emperor long ago, otherwise the nobles would not be allowed to enter the Ministry of War for many years, so how could the prince of the Duke of another country suddenly become the Minister of the Ministry of War.

The British Duke and Duchess ordered the three daughters-in-law to treat the guests who came to congratulate her in an endless stream, and the expressions of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law only knew about it.As for the congratulatory banquet proposed by the good friend, it is only presumed that the imperial decree has not yet been issued, and we will talk about it when the matter is settled.

The person involved, Zhang Yan, hid in her yard early and did not see any guests.

Zhu Youxiao announced the post-election by himself, and when the courtiers left, all the eunuchs, large and small, gathered around to congratulate him.

After making noise for a while, Zhu Youxiao told everyone in Qianqing Palace: "Let's put this matter in the stomach. I just lost my tenth sister, and then I lost Qilang. Don't let the news of any one-heartedness come out." Dry the palace."

He Xi's eunuchs immediately scratched their heads.Forget that the emperor died before his brother and sister.

The next day, Zhu Youxiao took the officials from the six ministries and seven ministers, ministers and above, to continue discussing next year's budget.This time it was the turn of the household department.Wang Yingjiao, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, disclosed that Wang Yongguang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, had better move some people from Shaanxi and Shanxi to Liaodong to ensure the vegetation in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, especially the necessity of tree planting, etc., and pass on the official documents summarized here to all present. everyone.This is also one of the new working methods proposed by Zhu Youxiao.

It is better to see with the eyes than to hear with the ears.

Wang Yingjiao also submitted the preliminary relocation plan that he had negotiated with nearly a hundred subordinates from the Ministry of Household Affairs.The plan is to reduce the population of Shaanxi and Shanxi by half in five to ten years. In this way, including those who went to work in the Pingshuo coal mine, half of the remaining population should be assigned to plant trees and protect forests.

The purpose is to reduce the population of Gansu, Ningxia, Shaanxi, and Shanxi provinces to the size of the Qin and Han Dynasties in ten years, so as to restore the tree cover before the Tang Dynasty.

The court wanted to provide the people who planted trees and protected the forest, as well as the coal workers who dug coal in Pingshuo, with food to feed them and their families.

The relocation plan of the Ministry of Households is very big. Except for the cabinet ministers Fang Congzhe, Han Yu, Ye Xianggao who knew the news like the emperor, and the Ministry of Industry, everyone else is basically in a state of ignorance.

Migration of millions of people is no small matter.

After Zhu Youxiao gave the officials enough time to think about it, he took the lead in expressing his approval of the migration plan.Wang Yongguang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, expressed his support for the immigration plan of the Ministry of Households.

Ye Xianggao waited until Fang Congzhe could speak, so he followed Wang Yongguang to speak.

"The Yellow River breaks its embankment every year, and the imperial court spends money on river engineering every year. Just building dams in the lower reaches cannot restrain the water of the Yellow River. Just like Gun's control of the water, where the dams are dangerous, they can be blocked by raising them. No. Dayu’s dredging and water control method is useful, but considering that the Yellow River itself carries a lot of sediment, it will force us to build higher and higher dams, and as a result, an above-ground river will appear one day.

Pan Shiliang of the present Dynasty found out the reason for the continuous breach of the Yellow River, that is, the river bed was blocked by sediment. The accumulation of sediment on the bed of the Yellow River, but this is also a passive way to deal with the sediment of the Yellow River.

We should take the initiative to reduce the sediment carried by the Yellow River from the middle and upper reaches.

So I agree with the immigration plan of the Ministry of Household Affairs.Only by reducing the total number of people on both banks of the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River relying on the Yellow River to irrigate farmland, and even making the main channel of the Yellow River full of forests that can stabilize water and soil, can the sediment carried by the Yellow River be completely reduced.

I also suggest that some counties in Gansu, Ningxia, and Shaanxi that use the Yellow River water to irrigate their farmland should be the first choice for early relocation.While blocking the diversion in the middle and upper reaches, plant trees in the middle and upper reaches. "

The matter of such a large-scale migration of people is a very important matter.Especially since the Qin and Han Dynasties, Tumochuan (Hetao Plain) had a tradition of opening canals to divert water for cultivation. Later, although dynasties changed and it was once turned into a land of livestock, the water from the Yellow River nourished the trees and pastures of Tumochuan. .

This is also an important racecourse in Daming.

Cui Jingrong stood up, "Your Majesty, I agree with the plan in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River. But Tumochuan is a very important horse farm for the imperial court. Without this horse farm, the supply of war horses in the army will not be guaranteed."

Cui Jingrong paused for a while and said: "Gansu and Ningxia have limited local grain production, and only part of it can be supplied to the border guards. The garrisons including Shaanxi and Shanxi have to rely on the south of the Yangtze River to transport grain to the south, and remove the farmers from Tumochuan. In the Northeast, it is necessary to increase the total amount of grain transported from the south of the Yangtze River. Also, once the number of farmers in Hetao decreases and the troops on the frontier have no support from military households, I worry that Mongolia will follow the example of the Huns in the Western Han Dynasty and occupy the area of ​​Tumochuan again.”

Cui Jingrong is also a Jinshi of the two lists, and he can't know the changes of Tumochuan in the past two thousand years, but after he took charge of the Ministry of War, he also looked very carefully at the few horse farms in the imperial court.

Zhu Youxiao ordered Liu Shimin to hang up the territorial maps of the Tang Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty.Then he pointed to these territory maps and said: "During the Yuan Dynasty, there were no such concerns as Cui Shangshu mentioned. Therefore, I think that the Liaodong War has basically achieved its goal. The Ministry of War will plan to use troops against the Tatars next year. In the next ten years, we will continue to fight against Tatars. The Tatars used troops, just like they did against Jiannu in Liaodong. They could not be driven out, but they had to be driven to the north of Buriyat (Lake Baikal).

Only in this way can we ensure that the hinterland of our Ming Dynasty will no longer be threatened by Tatars. There is also enough grassland for us to raise horses in this area of ​​Tatars. "

Zhu Youxiao's slender fingers slid from Nuer Gandusi to the left, across Buriyati, to Tieliangguti.Then he tilted his head and looked at the straight line before he crossed it, and looked at Cui Jingrong with a smile.

"Cui Qing, have you noticed that the border defense according to my line is much shorter than the current nine-sided front line. It will save a lot of border guards."

"Your Majesty, it will be even more difficult to transport grain from the south."

Cui Jingrong reminded the emperor's unreliable territorial plan that there is food and grass behind it.

Alas, headache!Is the territory drawn by the monarchs and ministers behind closed doors in the Qianqing Palace? !

Zhou Jiamo raised his forehead, it seems that Tianqi is destined to continue the war.

Huang Kezuan was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. Such a plan was even crazier than Chengzu in the Yongle period. Compared with the emperor he served, Wu Zong was just a child's game, and there was no comparison at all.He had the idea of ​​going to the Ministry of War to be a minister again.

After hearing Cui Jingrong's words, Zhu Youxiao immediately became unhappy.

"Cui Qing, when he gave up the Chief Secretary of Cochin, it was as if Daming had broken his own toes. What happened? The power and influence of the imperial court in the whole south is getting less and less. If the Japanese pirates have been fighting for so many years, if the navy can still go to the West, how can they be punished?" The Japanese bully to the door of the house."

Cui Jingrong had no choice but to bow down and admit his mistake, "But Tumochuan's racecourse? How does His Majesty plan to arrange it?"

Zhu Youxiao was even more unhappy.

"The annual budget is not only related to the affairs of various ministries. My fundamental purpose is to let all the ministers and workers fully consider the intention of the court to take major events in the next five or ten years. Like the migration plan proposed by the Ministry of Households, the water control strategy of the Ministry of Industry On the surface, it is possible to see results in five or ten years of Yellow River governance, but in reality, it is all related to Daming's 50, or even [-]-year plan.

Cui Qing, I am now transferring you to the Ministry of Households to be a secretary. From the perspective of water control in the Ministry of Industry, you will fully consider the immigration of the Ministry of Households and the horse farms of the Ministry of War. "

Cui Jingrong was a little dumbfounded.

He became a Jinshi when he was less than 20 years old. Over the years, he served as an official in Pingyang Mansion, and later he was a censor. He is already the Minister of the Ministry of War.

After staying in the Ministry of War for a long time, he developed the habit of thinking about things from the perspective of the Minister of the Ministry of War.He stood there motionless, staring at the map in front of him, thinking that if he was the Minister of the Ministry of Households, where should he start, so as to cooperate with the Ministry of Works to control the water without delaying the horses of the Ministry of War.

After a long while, he took the thin bamboo pole in Liu Shimin's hand, which was just brought over to draw the map, and there were faint traces of just torn off the wrapping on it.

"Your Majesty, I thought that next year some people would be relocated from Ningxiawei to the Hunhe River in Liaodong for cultivation. Now that the relocation order has been issued, we will leave on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. When we arrive in Liaodong, we can catch up with a season of sweet potatoes, radishes, etc., so that we can survive the winter. For food, the government will subsidize less. People in Taiyuan Prefecture and Datong Prefecture are closer than Ningxia Wei. They migrate to Guangning Wei. They should be able to catch up with the farming season and grow crops normally. This is just a hasty thought If the people who migrate do not involve the counties of the Bingbu horse farm, I will spend more energy next year to see if the Liaodong horse farm can make up for the shortage of the Tumochuan horse farm."

Zhu Youxiao clapped his hands immediately after he finished speaking, "Cui Qing is indeed a great talent. It seems that the various ministers should exchange frequently, which makes sense."

Huang Kezuan immediately said: "Your Majesty, would you like to let the old minister go to the Ministry of War?"

The author has something to say: Cui Jingrong was born in the 44th year of Jiajing (1565), and was a Jinshi in the 11th year of Wanli (1583).

Great man?

More people are still trying to be a scholar at the age of Jinshi.
