Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Everyone's eyes moved back and forth between the Son of Heaven and Huang Kezuan. Zhu Youxiao looked at this old-hearted Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice with a smile, and looked at Zhou Jiamo with a smile and said nothing.

Huang Kezuan is 72 years old, Zhu Youxiao always feels that he is 27 years old.He is always permeated with the enterprising vitality of doing things actively, and always has the desire to pursue tirelessly.In contrast, I feel that I lack a little passion corresponding to this seventeen's body?

Zhou Jiamo saw that the emperor was waiting for him to succeed, so he immediately said, "Shaofu, the Ministry of Officials has no plans to transfer you to the Ministry of War to be a minister. You should calm down and look at the plan of the Ministry of Households, and quickly help Qian Fu to find out what is missing."

Wang Yingjiao is the same age as Huang Kezuan, but he was a Jinshi in the second year of Wanli, six years earlier than Huang Kezuan, and he is the senior of these people here just like Zhou Jiamo.But Zhou Jiamo asked Huang Kezan to look at Wang Yingjiao's household plan, and he didn't choose the wrong person, because Huang Kezan had been a political envoy, and he was no stranger to civil affairs and finance.For Zhou Jiamo, Huang Kezuan is a talent who can be included in any movie.Because he used to be Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Minister of the Ministry of War twice, if the emperor hadn't intended to let Wang Yingjiao be the Minister of the Ministry of Households, Zhou Jiamo would have wanted to get Huang Kezan to be the Minister of the Ministry of Households, and let Huang Kezan be in charge of the intricate household affairs , lest he take the emperor to fight.

Huang Kezuan had no choice but to withdraw his thoughts of becoming Minister of the Ministry of War, took the thin bamboo pole from Cui Jingrong's hand, and pointed at the Kanyu map.

"Your Majesty, I think Cui Ziqiang's formulation is correct, that is, the road from Ningxiawei to Liaodong is far away, and it is not a soldier. It is really not suitable to leave in the first month. Considering the old and the young of the common people, the old minister thinks Those with elders over the age of 60 and children under the age of five should not be included in this first migration choice. The young and strong, who are suitable for traveling on the road, are moved to Liaodong. Easy to settle down."

The next thing Huang Kezuan talked about was the specific relocation actions.

"All the food for the people on the road needs to be prepared by the imperial court. When they settle down in Liaodong, they need the support of the imperial court. The weather is warm in early March, and when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, we plan to go to the designated place in Liaodong in three to four months. We must go immediately Building a house. On average, each person needs to prepare at least three taels to ten taels of silver for investment."

Huang Kezan carefully explained how the three taels to ten taels of silver was spent. Gong Nai's eyes widened, and he felt that he was too different from Cui Jingrong and Huang Kezan.

He has never been in touch with people's livelihood.

Gong Nai clenched his lower lip, moved his eyes following the thin bamboo pole that Huang Kezan was drawing back and forth on the map, and watched Huang Kezan discuss with Zhou Jiamo, Wang Yingjiao, Cui Jingrong and others how many people would be most suitable for the first relocation. How much grain to prepare and where to move the regular warehouse is more suitable.

At this moment, Gong Nai felt that he was a bit reluctant to be the Minister of Rites. He didn't expect that most of the others, except him and Fang Congzhe, could participate in the discussion of immigration.

He recorded in a pen: "Although the land in Liaodong is sparsely populated, the farmers who migrated there are not short of arable fields, but the winter is cold, and the first thing after arriving in Liaodong is to build houses for the winter. Relying on the open-pit coal mines in Fushun They can get through the first winter safely, but the imperial court still needs to provide enough agricultural tools and seeds in the next year, and continue to provide food until the harvest in autumn, so that it can be regarded as helping these immigrants settle down in Liaodong.”

In this way, the cost of the migration is not just silver, but also enough food to support it.

Seeing that they were calculating all the expenses paid by the imperial court, the British public interrupted and said: "When these farmers arrive in Liaodong, the men will build houses, and the women and children can grow sweet potatoes. I heard that this year the sweet potatoes in Gyeonggi are per mu It’s enough. In winter, men can go to the Fushun coal mine to dig coal, and they all wait for the government to subsidize it. I’m afraid that not many people will be relocated every year, and the impact of cultivated land in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River on water and soil will not be solved.”

Ye Xianggao immediately expressed his agreement with the opinion of the British Duke.

"Farmers who migrated to Liaodong went to Fushun coal mines to dig coal in winter. A strong laborer can earn food for a family of four. Adding sweet potatoes and other supplements can greatly reduce the burden on the court."

Zhou Jiamo suddenly realized, no wonder he felt that there was a problem here.So he and Huang Kezuan immersed themselves in recalculating the grain subsidized to each farmer's family.

Zhu Youxiao looked at it for a while and said: "Eating rice and other grains alone is not enough to endure hunger. I see that after the soldiers added horse meat, they ate half of the rice and noodles. Do those farmers want to raise some poultry after they arrive in Liaodong? Raise some Pigs and sheep, etc."

Ding Guogong immediately said: "Eat more meat to resist the cold."

Xu Guangqi said: "Your Majesty, after those migratory farmers arrive in Liaodong early next summer, the local area will not be able to provide them with enough piglets and chickens to raise them immediately. But Zuo Gongzhi has made great achievements in farming in Zhili this year. Applying Zhili's experience to Liaodong, these immigrants can not only have enough rations, but also raise some poultry and livestock."

"We should inform Zhou Yongchun now, so that he can prepare for accepting the relocated people next year."

Wang Yingjiao saw that the speaker was Fang Congzhe, nodded and remained silent.I was thinking in my heart, if Zhou Yongchun asked how many people would be relocated, how much silver and how much food would the court plan to subsidize?What answer should I give Zhou Yongchun?These numbers haven't been finalized yet, so how can Zhou Yongchun prepare?You can't be sprayed back by Xiong Tingbi!

Gong Nai watched Fang Congzhe being falsely answered by Wang Yingjiao, and he didn't dare to intervene. He used the excerpts from the discussion to think about how to make up for his shortcomings in people's livelihood.There are so many people in Qianqing Palace, except myself and Xu Guangqi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who are Jinshi after 40 years old, and everyone else is too late to be a Jinshi at 35 years old.

But Xu Guangqi's talent is unmatched by others.His calculations in numerology were the first in the imperial court.I heard that he played a key role in the new artillery, as well as the water conservancy in the fields of Beizhili... and so on, all of which can be used by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs.

But what about myself?Conversely, thinking about the past, Gong Nai couldn't find a feasible way to make up for his shortcomings, and felt that it was more suitable for him to go back to the Imperial College and continue to make sacrificial wine.

He thought so, and he did so.After the day's discussion in Qianqing Palace was over, he proposed to Zhu Youxiao to return to Guozijian.

Zhu Youxiao was taken aback by his proposal.

"why?"

Putting the nominated minister of the Ministry of Rites aside, going to the Imperial College to make sacrificial wine?Zhu Youxiao felt that Daming's courtiers were too personal, and he couldn't accept it.

"Your Majesty, today I read that all the ministers have unique insights on the matter of relocating people. Those insights are not from books, but from their accumulated experience in previous years. I have thought about it, given my current age and seniority It’s okay to be sent out to be a magistrate, but I know that I don’t even have the ability to be a magistrate. So I still go back to the Imperial College to teach and do what I can do. I don’t occupy the position of Minister of Rites, let alone be Minister of Rites. "

"Xiaoyu, it's not considered unusual for the emperor to be the servant of the Ministry of Rites. Do you admit this?"

Zhu Youxiao stared at Gong Nai and asked him seriously.

After being affirmed by Gong Nai, Zhu Youxiao continued: "You are the teacher of two generations of emperors, and you have done a good job acting as the Minister of the Ministry of Rites for more than half a year. Don't worry, let's not promote the title of Minister of the Ministry of Rites for the time being. The Ministry of Rites I have never found out that you are not doing well in Zuo Shilang's affairs. You also admit that you are a competent servant of the Ministry of Rites, right? I'm not exaggerating, right?"

"Your Majesty, I see that other people have dabbled in the affairs of the six ministries. When discussing the imperial court's century-old plan—"

"That's why I like to use those who won the Jinshi at a young age."

Zhu Youxiao didn't hide his idea of ​​using young Jinshi.

"Let's not talk about special cases like Cui Jingrong. We only talk about those who became Jinshi before the age of 30. They started from the local county magistrate and returned to the capital after the age of 45. The accumulated experience of the 20 years of local governance can support They make timely and correct judgments about a lot of things. But that doesn’t contradict you being only good at ritual.”

Gong Nai couldn't hide his depression and frustration, "Your Majesty said so, I am even more ashamed."

"Xiaoyu, if you worry too much, I won't force you anymore. Just be a servant of the Ministry of Rites. This is the position that the emperor's teacher deserves. In the future, I will directly be the Taifu to teach the prince, and I don't need to pick another emperor's teacher. gone."

Gong Naiyi bowed to the end, "I thank Your Majesty for your high regard. I will definitely teach the prince well in the future."

Three generations of emperors, although the emperor just decided on the candidate for the queen yesterday, the date of the wedding has not yet been set, the prince does not know when he will have it, just because the emperor asked himself to teach the prince, this trust makes Gong Nai excited Tears welled up in my eyes.

After Gong Nai left, Liu Shimin sorted out the discussion records of the day and sent them up.The supervisor of etiquette also sent people to participate in the minutes of the budget meeting.

"Leave it alone. I don't want to watch it now. Alas, the court still lacks capable people." Today's discussion made Zhu Youxiao not only tired, but also a little discouraged.These old ministers have been away from the grassroots for too long, and the common people used their feet to go from Ningxia Weiliang to Liaodong. They really dare to think.

Fang Zhenghua twisted the hot face towel and Liu Shimin took it, shook out the heat and handed it to Zhu Youxiao.

"My lord, first have some snacks and then take a bath to relieve fatigue."

Today is much more tiring than yesterday, Liu Shimin felt distressed when he looked at the emperor's eyes.

"First eat, then go to see Goro, and then soak in hot water when you come back."

"My lord, I sent people to Yongning Palace five or six times today, and I saw Wulang twice. It is indeed much better as the concubine said."

"That's good, you take care of Goro for me."

"Don't worry, the emperor, I will take care of Goro closely."

Zhu Youjian cried a lot after the death of the tenth daughter of the emperor, and he was sick for a few days without thinking about tea and food.Only after repeated persuasion by Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Changhao and several princesses and princesses did he take up his job.Unexpectedly, Zhu Youzhen, who followed Qilang, also died of illness.Zhu Youjian fell ill when he heard the news.After falling into a coma for two or three days, when he was in a daze, he kept muttering: "Qilang, come to Fifth Brother."

Concubine Li Zhuang personally took care of Zhu Youjian day and night, crying so much that her eyes were so swollen that she couldn't open them.

"My lord, Goro is a very affectionate person. After Mrs. Liu left, he was ill for more than a month. I hugged him day and night and dared not let go. He really likes Qilang, and he often leaves after finishing homework. Run to play with Shichiro."

Zhu Youxiao went to see Zhu Youjian every night, and by the way comforted Concubine Li Zhuang.For the Feng family and Shao family who have lost their children, they can only ask their mothers Fu Taifei and Wang Taifei to comfort them.

When Zhu Youxiao arrived at Yongning Palace, he saw that Zhu Youjian was soberly staring at the bed curtain in a daze, and the traces of crying were obvious on his face.

"Goro, I heard that you are feeling better today, can you sit up and eat?"

"Well. Brother Huang, I'm fine. Don't come to see me. The court affairs are hard."

Zhu Youjian, who looks like such an affectionate little boy, is far from the adult emperor in the underworld who is full of resentment, unwillingness, extreme paranoia and can't let go of his hatred.

But only such Zhu Youjian can make Zhu Youxiao truly feel the reality of life, and feel that "I hope I will not be born in the emperor's house forever" is not a lie.
