Dressed as Tang Bohu

"Liu Banban, you came just in time, take down the lantern on the eaves for me, and hang up this colored lantern!" Zhu Houzhao greeted Liu Jin with a smile when he saw him.

With the memorial in her arms, Liu Jin seemed to have the same feelings of worrying about the country and the people in the memorial.After saluting to several people, he said sternly: "Your Majesty, this servant has something important to do!"

"Oh?" Zhu Houzhao held a bright yellow carved wooden lamp with four luan titles and ribbons in his hand, and stood there looking over, "What's the matter, even you can't make up your mind?"

"Returning to the Lord Long Live, it is due to the frequent scavenging in Ningxia, Shaanxi, in the northwest. This year's natural disasters have reduced food production. In recent years, they have been invaded by the neighboring Mongolian Ministry. The people are miserable, and the garrisoned troops are unable to continue." Liu Jin respectfully handed over the memorial in his hand.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, but didn't take it, "Natural disasters and man-made disasters, what can I do? Since you mentioned it on purpose, you must have some ideas?"

Finally mentioned the point, Liu Jinqiang suppressed the excitement that surfaced from below, and replied: "The servant only has a little idea."

"But it doesn't matter, it just so happens that Tang Shilang and Wang Shuzu are both here, and I will give you advice as well."

"Yes, the slaves have been thinking hard for a long time, and feel that we should start from two aspects. One is to transport grain, transfer grain from south to north, directly appoint officials to accompany the grain without going through the government, and transport the grain to the Shaanxi area, which can solve the urgent need.

The second is rectification. According to the rules set by the Tai-zu back then, each garrison has a special land. It stands to reason that although the harvest this year is a bit poor, it will not be impossible to eat.The reason for this is that someone must have corrupted and profited from it!Long live Lord, this servant thinks it's time to tidy up the military settlement. " Liu Jin said with burning eyes.

"Sounds reasonable, what suggestions do Aiqing and Uncle Wang have?" Zhu Houzhao nodded his head, then turned to Tang Ziwei and Zhu Chenhao and asked.

Zhu Chenhao secretly said: Here we come!His gaze moved towards Tang Ziwei calmly.

Seeing the latter cupping his hands, he said in a slow voice: "It's rare that Eunuch Liu has such a heart. It's amazing that he can come up with this idea in a short period of time. It's just..."

Liu Jin was praised by him, and he couldn't help but smile a few times on his old face, and the expression of satisfaction was beyond words.But when he heard a turning point, his eyes suddenly stopped on him.

Tang Ziwei smiled slightly, and continued: "Although the transfer of grain from the south to the north is a method, but now that the national treasury is empty, where will the grain be collected? Even if enough grain and supplies are mobilized, the journey is far away, and it will not be able to solve the urgent need of the northwest. Method."

What Tang Ziwei said was well-founded, and Zhu Houzhao agreed with it again, and turned his head to Liu Jin again.

However, Eunuch Liu breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and said with a smile: "Master Tang is right, it is precisely because of this that our family wants to solve it fundamentally! As long as the military settlements are rectified and the fields are redistributed. With enough fields, the soldiers will naturally have food, and they will work harder to guard, so the problem in the Northwest can be solved, and there will be more public food to hand over, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone!"

"What if the people who occupy the field don't agree? Isn't your father-in-law worried about acting so hard?"

"Is it the king's land in the whole world; is it the king's minister on the coast of the land. What's wrong with the emperor wanting to distribute his own land to his subjects!" Liu Jin didn't care, rolled up his sleeves unhurriedly, and was afraid of Tang Zi. Said: "Master Tang is young, don't be timid and lose the vigor of a young man."

Tang Zi held his eyes back in fear, but there seemed to be a thoughtful look on his face.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Tang Ziwei as if he was unhappy, pointed at Liu Jin and shouted, "Let's discuss the matter, why are you still teaching my subjects?"

"Where do you dare to teach me a lesson? This servant is not expressing his feelings, just mentioning a few words about the old man's experience, but he dare not teach him a lesson." Liu Jin waved her hands again and again. Although she knew that Zhu Houzhao was not really angry, she still dared not say it twice. The body is bent to the ground.

Tang Ziwei didn't lose his wink either, he looked like he had come to his senses, and hurriedly said: "My father-in-law is older than me, so what I said is not unreasonable."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and felt quite bored seeing Liu Jin's trembling look, "Get up, you can discuss matters in Shaanxi area with Mr. Li Ge, and you don't have to ask me again."

"Yes." Liu Jin replied, and stood aside with her hands down.

Tang Ziwei finished his business and had to discuss with Li Dongyang and others, so naturally he didn't want to play around with Zhu Houzhao anymore.

So he bid farewell to Zhu Houzhao, leaving behind Zhu Chenhao, who was full of resentment and had to accompany his nephew and grandson who was not a few years younger than him to hang lanterns, and left the palace by himself.

In October, Eunuch Liu's proposal began to be implemented, and most of the court officials turned a blind eye and let it go under the signal of Mr. Li Ge and the Secretary of General Administration.

Zhou Dong, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was entrusted with an important task, and he went to Shaanxi in person with the imperial decree, and set about taking back the fields with the local officials who received the order.

But this time, they found a problem.

According to the recorded data, less than one-third of the military land in Ningxia, Shaanxi Province is now owned by soldiers, and the rest are all occupied by veteran generals who have withdrawn from the army.Many of these generals still brought their old subordinates with them. They had all kinds of knives and halberds, which were passed down from generation to generation, and they became a huge force that cannot be ignored.Asking them to hand over their fields and wait to starve to death is obviously a fantasy.

Looking at those local officials, there are only a few yamen servants prepared on weekdays to catch fast, and they usually catch thieves and beat them. How can they challenge those soldiers?

Zhou Dong had the emperor's order in his body, so he went there once, but was sent back before he entered the door.

People can't see it, but the task has to be completed, and the heavy burden is intensified on the soldiers.

……

At the end of October, morning frost formed on the turf in the northwest frontier, the corners of the window lattices were dry and hard, and the saffron walls had tiny cracks.

In the lobby of Prince Anhua's Mansion, He Jin, the commander of the capital wearing a dark brown cloak, patted the table with a "bang bang!", causing the tea in the cup on the table to ripple.

"Zhou Dong bullied me too much!! It is impossible to collect thousands of dan grains from those ten acres of fields, but he still wounded my soldiers and bullied their wives! If I let him bully me, I won't come here How can I have the face to meet them in the future? Why don’t you go back to the deep mountains and old forests and hold back your useless anger!”

As if infected by his tone, Anhua Wang Zhu Zhixiu blushed silently, looked around the room with cracked walls, and suddenly slammed the table, "Then it's the other way around!"

What He Jin was waiting for was his words, and the two hit it off immediately, and immediately dispatched soldiers and horses to rush into the government's mansion, and stabbed the hapless young minister of Dali Temple to death.Then he raised the banner of "Kill Liu Jin and eliminate harm in name", pointed out that he wanted Eunuch Liu's head, and marched all the way to the capital.

When the news reached the capital, Tang Ziwei knew about it before the emperor.He immediately stopped what he was doing, called Zhu Chenhao, and the first thing he said was: "My lord, the time has come, you should go back to Nanchang."

It was rare for Zhu Chenhao to shake his head lightly, and said: "I'll wait until I get you on the horse, and I won't be too late."

Tang Ziwei's breathing was slightly stagnant, he glanced at him, and said: "It's up to you." After saying that, he took the palace pass and went to the door, and told Ji Tong to prepare chariots and horses, and rushed to the palace.
