Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 219 Good News
Liu Weichao continued to say to Emperor Chongzhen: "For now, I think your own efforts are actually useful."

"???" Emperor Chongzhen was a little confused when he heard this, as if Liu Weichao had contradicted what he said just now!
Perhaps seeing Emperor Chongzhen's puzzled expression, Liu Weichao explained with a smile: "You did it yourself before, but in fact it looks like you did it yourself. In fact, it's just a taste. This idiom may not be used well, but it's probably like this Meaning. That is to say, on the surface, you have been involved in everything, but you have no energy to continue to follow up on the process and results of the real work. The same is true, how effective are the things you do, such as disaster relief, recruitment, etc. , You don’t even know how it’s going to be executed next!”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help frowning, apparently in deep thought.

And Liu Weichao still said: "And now you do it yourself, you really have to look at one thing in person, such as all aspects of a strong army, various things in the military battle, and even solve the problems of craftsmen in person. Your kind To do it yourself is to really do these things according to what you think. You should have a good idea of ​​the effect."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly involuntarily, obviously agreeing with Liu Weichao's statement.

"Of course, the latter kind of hands-on is of course very good. However, your energy alone is limited after all, and you are the emperor, and you have too many things to deal with. That is to say, you can't do everything like this." A degree of hands-on doing things.”

When Liu Weichao said this, he suddenly raised his voice a little, obviously emphasizing the next words: "At this time, if you only take the first kind of hands-on corruption in the administration of officials, it is actually equivalent to not doing anything at all. Those officials at the time were fooled. Therefore, at this stage of your life, I think what you are doing now is right. For important things, such as strengthening the army, you must do it yourself and make no mistakes. As for other things, if you are too busy, It’s better to leave it to the subordinates who can rest assured.”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he asked his own question: "I don't worry... Do you mean the courtiers you recommended?"

"Actually not necessarily!" Liu Weichao replied immediately after hearing this, "The ones I recommend to you are recorded in history, and logically speaking, it should be possible. However, no one knows what the history is like. Because no matter what Who will record this history, firstly, he may not have experienced all the things personally, it may be just heard; secondly, as long as he is a person, he will have his own opinions and personal subjectivity. You also You know, in our Chinese characters, as long as one word is changed, the effect may be completely different."

"Then what should I do?" Emperor Chongzhen asked quickly after hearing this.

Liu Weichao laughed as soon as he heard it, and replied: "Actually, you are already doing the right thing. For example, enable the factory guard to conduct secret investigations, and divide the work between the factory guards, etc."

Speaking of this, Liu Weichao became more serious, and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "The reason why I talked to you so much today is mainly because you came to ask about related matters, so I remembered that I wanted to emphasize the system with you. Importance. In my opinion, the system of the Ming Dynasty is actually very complete. It’s just that the time is too long, and many systems have lost their original functions. For example, the supervision of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the supervision of factory guards, and the selection of officials Officials, etc., have lost the purpose of formulating measures at the beginning, and when you are the emperor, you want to make these systems work again. It’s not when the factory guards were rampant when Wei Zhongxian felt that it was not possible, so the factory guards were grounded.”

Emperor Chongzhen has been listening carefully, pondering these words.After hearing it, his expression was a little strange, but he recovered quickly.

"Actually, it boils down to one sentence." Liu Weichao licked his dry lips and said, "You still need to let each yamen carry out criticism and self-criticism on a regular basis. Instead of only vesting power in one yamen to control other yamen , such as Jingcha, it is easy to breed corruption.”

"Criticism and self-criticism?" Emperor Chongzhen asked curiously when he heard this word for the first time.

"Yes, it's criticism and self-criticism!" Liu Weichao listened and emphasized, "One is self-reflection, and the other is departmental self-reflection. It’s false. How to implement it and how strong it is, you still have to experience it yourself. Anyway, corruption cannot be eradicated, and there is no 100% solution to corruption.”

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded seriously and said, "Okay, I understand, I will think about this matter."

Hearing this, Liu Weichao couldn't help but smile.Talking about it is the easiest thing. As for how to do it, it depends on Emperor Chongzhen himself.

He then said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Next, let me tell you about your specific problem just now. Didn't you talk about the demand for steel? You can use solid wood as rails first, or clad iron sheets, and you can use them in mining areas. Try it first, and start to build the railway after you have experience. In this way, the transportation bottleneck problem can be solved slightly, and it can also prevent the excessive consumption of steel in the early stage from affecting the military industry."

"Is that okay?" Emperor Chongzhen asked a little surprised when he heard this.

Liu Weichao laughed as soon as he heard it: "As long as you don't transport too heavy things in one carriage, you don't have to use the rails to bear the pressure. In addition, if it works, you will know if you try it? It’s better to gain true knowledge through practice!”

Emperor Chongzhen was very excited when he heard it, nodded and said: "I have heard a lot of interesting words today, and I think they are very interesting. For example, true knowledge comes from this practice. If you think about it carefully, it really means that! These words are all Did you come up with it yourself?"

"..." Liu Weichao was speechless for a while when he heard it, and then he replied, "Look at how old I am, how could I be able to say so many famous sentences. These famous sentences are said by famous people, just like yours. It is the same as being familiar with the words of the sages at that time."

"Really?" Emperor Chongzhen asked quickly when he heard it, "Can you give me some related books, similar to the Four Books and Five Classics in this era?"

"..." Liu Weichao was dumbfounded when he heard it.

Does Emperor Chongzhen mean to ask for xxx quotations and smiling theories?Would it be nice to show him?
After thinking about it for a while, he finally refused: "That's nothing. I've just told you about some of the content that suits you. If there's anything else that suits you, I'll tell you when I think about it."

"Oh!" Emperor Chongzhen was slightly disappointed when he heard this.

After hanging up the phone, Emperor Chongzhen recalled Liu Weichao's words again, and then picked up the imperial pen and wrote down a few key words on the declaration, at least in his opinion, they were key words.

"Hands-on"

"system"

"Criticism and Self-criticism"

"Truth comes from practice"

After finishing writing, he stared at these words in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, he was suddenly brought back to his senses by the movement from outside.

"Good news, great victory..."

Upon hearing the news, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help being a little surprised, and looked up at the gate of the palace in great surprise.

The eunuch Wang Chengen, who was in charge of the official seal, entered the hall happily with a memorial.

"Long live, great victory!" Wang Chengen said with a smile while trotting towards Emperor Chongzhen, "The white-armed army has severely injured the rogues, the white-armed army has severely injured the rogues!"

"Oh?" Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed when he heard it, and quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it, present it quickly!"

Really, he hasn't heard the news of the victory for too long.Now, it is even more joyful to hear the good news from the white pole army who is loyal to him.

If it was someone like Zuo Liangyu who reported good news, he would definitely not be so happy!

Wang Chengen soon arrived in front of Emperor Chongzhen and presented two memorials, which were sent to the capital together.One is Qin Liangyu's memorial, and the other is Weihui prefect Huang Shu's memorial.

Emperor Chongzhen read it once at a glance, then read it again carefully, and then burst out laughing.Anyone can see that Emperor Chongzhen is in a very good mood at this time!
Seeing Wang Chengen next to him, he immediately complimented with a smile: "The White Pole Army really lived up to the cultivation of the Lord Long Live. They didn't pay so much new armor in vain. It's a meritorious service!"

His words really tickled Emperor Chongzhen's itch.

The new type of armor was invented by him, at least in this world, this is his achievement, from steelmaking to armor production, a dragon is all under his command.

And Qin Liangyu emphasized in the memorial that the victory this time and the victory over the elite bandits was all thanks to the armor.

This allowed Emperor Chongzhen to see how much improved the combat power would be after both the Yongwei Battalion and the Jingying Battalion were equipped with new armor and ordnance!
In other words, with these two powerful armies in hand, there is really a lot to do!
With this victory as a foundation, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly became full of confidence.

"Come on!" Emperor Chongzhen immediately commanded with great arrogance, "I want to confer the title of Qin Liangyu on the decree!"

One is that Qin Liangyu's victory this time was a victory after Songjin's defeat, and he desperately needed such a victory to restore the morale of the army;

The second reason is Qin Liangyu's loyalty. It can be said that she is truly loyal to the imperial court.He has sacrificed so much for the Ming Dynasty for so many years, compared with other courtiers, it is really very valuable.

Since Zhou Yuji, Sun Yingyuan and Huang Degong can all be knighted, it is only natural for Qin Liangyu to be knighted.

Another reason is that Liu Weichao once told him that women can hold up half the sky, and he really needs manpower to help him.That being the case, treating Qin Liangyu as a nobleman might inspire more female generals in the Ming Dynasty, or women with achievements in other fields, and help him rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty!
