Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 97 Ru Hai's Letter

Both of them understood Jiade's thoughts. Compared with issuing an edict of guilt, what is this little concession in front of them?Even if you beat the dragon face, why do you still care about pulling out an extra dragon's beard?
Which is more important, face or face?That depends on whether you have experienced the beatings of the society!
Although Fu Donglai didn't want to retreat easily, Jiade's proposal killed two birds with one stone. As for the price paid, the emperor didn't mind, so what can a courtier say!
Immediately agreed.

Discussing the Jiangnan Salt Administration is considered to have solved the most urgent matter at the moment, but it is far from over!

The emperor was slapped in the face. As a confidant, of course he must find a way to help the emperor find the place again.This is not an easy task.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid they won't stop here. I'm worried that someone will make a fuss about Mr. Ye, so I want to take advantage of the time left to finalize the matter of the new imperial examination officer!"

Ye Baichuan also said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Fu is very worried, and this matter should be finalized as soon as possible. These more than 200 new scholars are the hope of the New Deal. The ancestral system will be implemented. The magistrates will serve for three years. Give these scholars After being a coroner, at least for three years, there is no need to worry about someone getting in the way, as for how many of these people can be used by the New Deal in the future, only time will tell!"

Jiade also nodded, and said, "Didn't Feng Hengshi say that there was a shortage of people in Huguang? Select a group of available people from among these new scholars and send them to Huguang first! Fuchen, please send another letter to Feng Hengshi, the imperial court As soon as the result of the official here comes out, he can do it over there!"

"Yes!" After Fu Donglai complied, he asked again: "Your Majesty wants to follow Xu first."

Jia De nodded, and said: "Recently, Feng Hengshi's side has been giving me constant reports, and the general situation has been understood clearly. The reason why I'm holding back here is to see if there is anyone behind here. !"

Speaking of this, Jiade narrowed his eyes slightly, but there was a strong killing intent.

But I heard Jiade continue: "Furthermore, as the two of you said before, the mountains and rivers are unstable, and it is not easy for the court to make big moves. I have to wait. Fuchen, in the next time, everything must be done first. Focus on Huguang, let Feng Hengshi get to know about Huguang as soon as possible! Is Cen Pingnan here?"

Fu Donglai replied: "Return to Your Majesty, Cen Pingnan arrived three days ago!"

Jia De nodded and said: "Well, first Jing Huguang, and then Sichuan, and then divided into three groups, sending troops from Sichuan, Huguang, and Shaanxi to encircle the rebels in Hexi. Within a year or two, Bailian must be killed. Calm down the banditry!"

All officials of the imperial court forced Emperor Jiade to admit his mistake with the reason that the White Bandits in Western Xinjiang had not been peaceful for four years, poisoned the local area, and the people were in dire straits. Although Jiade was angry in his heart, he couldn't refute it. I hate it in my heart, and I made up my mind to solve this "ringworm and scabies" this time!
But I heard Ye Baichuan play: "Your Majesty, the scourge of the white bandits has developed from a disease of ringworm and scabies to the serious troubles of my confidantes. The corruption of officials is one reason, but the decline in the combat power of my cadres is also a fact." Ah! Since the 26th year of Xuanlong, our dynasty has used less military affairs. Over the years, how much combat power can the soldiers have left? Isn’t it because the local guards are not good at suppressing bandits from the beginning of the White Lotus Sect? Is it? Don’t mention the local guards, let’s take the Western Army’s camp as an example. That’s my most powerful frontier army, but now? The banditry in Shaanxi is getting worse and worse! But it is not stable, relying on such frontier troops.”

"What does Ai Qing mean?" Jiade asked with a frown.

Ye Baichuan looked at Jiade, then at Fu Donglai, hesitated for a moment and said: "I just feel that relying on these people alone will not be effective!"

Fu Donglai's thoughts turned slightly, and he asked aloud: "Master Ye, you mean that you want to reform the military system?"

Ye Baichuan said: "Master Fu, I just have a draft on this matter, be specific."

Ye Baichuan's words were not finished yet, but Fu Donglai said with a wry smile: "Master Ye, it's very difficult to change officials now, how dare you think about it? If this matter gets out, once the frontier army becomes unstable. Lord Ye, this matter will come soon." Stop here!"

Ye Baichuan frowned slightly, Fu Donglai's character has always been so domineering, before he finished speaking, the other party asked him to stop thinking about it!
However, he still said to Jiade: "Your Majesty, what I mean is, can we take this opportunity to train an elite army? I also know what Mr. Fu is worried about. The reform of the military system can be done later, but it is not right now. It's a rare opportunity!"

As soon as Ye Baichuan finished speaking, Fu Donglai asked again: "Master Ye, you need money to train soldiers. Besides, who will train the recruits? Do you have any suitable candidates?"

After hearing this, Ye Baichuan shook his head helplessly!But Fu Donglai hit his vital point!

If you are short of money, you can find a way, the key is the question of candidates!
The power of the founding nobles is too huge, to the point that no one can resist it!

From the beginning of Taizu's reign to the middle of Gaozu's reign, Dagan did not have any major military affairs. Even if there was one or two injustices, they were all divided up by the founding clan like hungry wolves!
It was not until the late period of the Gaozu Dynasty that Liaodong experienced a major defeat, and many people from the founding line broke in. Afterwards, many of the founding lords were held accountable, those who were demoted, and those who were exiled. This led to the gradual exile in the army. Opening up some openings gave some opportunities to the non-founding generals, but they were just opportunities!

It wasn't until the early days of Xuanlong, and after experiencing major military incidents at the airport, that these generals who were not from the founding line gradually rose up, and some of them rose to the middle and high levels of the military, and they were called Xuanlong nobles by those who did good things.

This was also intentional by Emperor Xuanlong, but he was also met with a severe counterattack from the founding lineage. Many people were caught in the shortcoming and even lost their lives.

Now some of the remaining people first gathered under the command of the old Prince Suzhong Yang Jin to seek asylum, after the death of Prince Suzhong, these people were brought under the command of King Zhongshun by Xuan Long.

Now that Emperor Xuanlong has passed away, Emperor Jiade must rely on the founding lineage to stabilize the throne, and the remaining nobles of Xuanlong dare not compete with the founding lineage!
Since Ye Baichuan is committed to the reform of the military system, it is impossible to watch the founding line continue to grow. Naturally, the candidates for training recruits cannot be appointed by the founding line, at least they cannot be people with current positions in the military!

In this way, who to choose becomes a problem!Even if there is a candidate, whether the other party dares to accept this job is even more of a question!

The three monarchs and ministers all understand the key points, but some things are not suitable to be brought out in the open!
Jiade was also a little moved. If the emperor wanted to stabilize the country, the most important thing was military power. If he had an army in his hands that could compete with Kai Guo's lineage, those officials in the court did not dare Brazenly persecuted him!

Jiade finally said: "I also understand the concerns of the ministers, but what Ye Aiqing said is also related to the future plan. This matter can be considered, but there is no need to worry, it depends on the situation!"

Fu Donglai understands that Jiade is actually moved, but it's just that there is no one available!I just don't know if it's good or bad!

"Let's end the discussion here today!" Jia De said.

The two left the hall respectfully!
Don't mention all the affairs in the court, let's see how Jia's mansion is.

Lin Ruhai wrote not one but three letters!

One is for Jia Mu, one is for Daiyu, and the other one is for Jia Ying, no doubt!

The one for Daiyu was nothing more than a little homework, a word of well-being, and a few more words of advice. Even so, Daiyu shed tears for quite a while!
The letter to Jia Ying was full of congratulations. It turned out that Lin Ruhai had heard that a second-class Rong'en archway had been erected on Rongning Street in Jinling City, with the word "Jinshi" and "fourth" engraved on it.It was the news of Jia Ying's high school exploration, which was sent back to Jinling, and the local government funded the construction of it.

After the congratulations, he mentioned some matters about the salt administration in Yangzhou. As he talked, he talked about his own health going from bad to worse, and said that he had no regrets in his life. Take care of one or two!At the end, Jia Ying was also instructed not to mention his physical condition to Daiyu.

After Jia Ying read the letter, her eyebrows twitched slightly, but she regained her composure in an instant, lest Daiyu see the clue, but she couldn't be happy in her heart!

Regarding Daiyu's emotions, he was curious when he hadn't seen her, to being close after getting acquainted, and then to loving after getting along for a long time. Even if Lin Ruhai didn't say anything, Jia Ying would not let Daiyu alone.

What made him feel heavy was Lin Ruhai, although he had only met three times in total, and the other time was seven years ago, and the time he spent together was less than a month.

However, Lin Ruhai left an extremely deep impression on him just by meeting and getting along these few times.

He didn't know when it started, but he admired this uncle in his heart!

He was dressed in a green shirt as a middle-aged scholar, and his figure looked a little thin. No matter who he was, he always had a humble and gentle attitude.

But it is such a seemingly thin and humble scribe who has done great things in Yangzhou, relieved the imperial court's urgent need, and laid the foundation for the reform of the salt administration in the south of the Yangtze River, at the cost of his own life!
Not everyone can pay the price of their lives for their own career!

Only those who are pure in heart!

This kind of person has always been easy to admire!Especially for those like Jia Ying who are selfish, perhaps it is because of his desire for purity in his heart!

Seeing Lin Ruhai now, it ended in such a dismal ending. After a hundred years, there is not even a single person to pay his respects!
Jia Ying always felt that God was a little unfair!

Compared to those who do nothing all day long, are drunk and sleepy, do nothing, even do bad things, but still live a long life, Lin Ruhai's ending is indeed a bit bleak!
