Chapter 604

After concentrating on dealing with many urgent matters, Yang Reform has entered a relatively relaxed time. These days, he is not as busy as before.

Many things have already been explained, and they are still waiting for the results of the processing, or waiting for feedback information, or waiting for things to ferment and slowly come.

Yang Reform, who has nothing to do every day, feels a little flustered.

Because the core personnel of his imperial party, especially the follow-up talents are not so abundant, Yang Reform feels that he still has to find some reserve talents from the imperial party. The matter of Liu Tingyuan has given him too much passiveness.

Thoughtful, Yang Reform opened today's Dibao, and stared blankly at the Dibao.

This mansion newspaper now publishes travel notes of a person all the year round. This person is Xu Xiake. Earlier, Yang Reform ordered Jin Yiwei to look for Xu Xiake. It was a test for Jin Yiwei. He found him. There is no possibility of not being found.However, the person was found, but the person did not return to the capital.

The reason is simple. Xu Xiake also has a bit of backbone. He heard that the emperor wanted to see him because he liked his travel notes, so he said that since His Majesty is willing to read his notes, he should go around and write more, better. Instead of staying in the city of the capital, what good travel notes can be written there?Therefore, the matter of looking for Xu Xiake has changed. After several correspondences with Xu Xiake, in the end Xu Xiake continued to investigate and write travel notes, and the emperor gave support, not only in name, but also in his residence. It was published in the newspaper, firstly to help him fulfill his wish; secondly, to obtain material support. Yang Reform also thought about giving money, but Xu Xiake refused, and even wanted to give him a waist card like the legend gave Li Bai. However, Xu Xiake also refused, because Xu Xiake wanted to gain social recognition through his own efforts, so publishing his travel notes in the mansion newspaper and giving him a contribution fee became the most important thing. A good channel. Therefore, the mansion newspaper basically publishes his travel notes on a regular basis. It can be regarded as something that Yang Reform did to broaden the horizons of the Ming Dynasty. At least I have some understanding of the geography and humanities of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time encourage more literati to go out of their homes, practice bravely, and use them for pioneering. , It is no longer something to be ashamed to say, but a very normal thing, and Xu Xiake, because of the emperor's favor, publishes travel notes all the year round, and has a great reputation among the scholar-bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty. There are a group of fans.

Reading Xu Xiake's travel notes in the mansion newspaper is also something that Yang Reform likes to do. To be honest, when he came to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he did not have such a rich entertainment method in the future. There is a choice, let Yang Reform read those big tomes, Yang Reform is dizzy, that is, Xu Xiake's travel notes that are almost vernacular, let Yang Reform feel a little fresh and happy, reading Xu Xiake's travel notes is like his own Walking in the countryside in person, what Xu Xiake encountered was like what he had encountered, and the hardships he had suffered were also like what he had encountered in person. It must be said that ancient literati, especially those who have reached the level of juren , the writing style is called a good one, and the meaning expressed by the words and sentences is quite clear and clear.

After reading Xu Xiake's travel notes today, Yang Reform remembered some other historical "celebrities" he had found. These were all things that Yang Reform had done in the past. He had just come to be emperor at that time, and he belonged to Xiaobai. , Thinking of what to do, there is no charter, I just think that it will be useful to capture these celebrities, but later, Yang Reform obviously matured, and he was no longer so superstitious about these celebrities, and his attitude towards these celebrities was also different. Gradually faded, this matter, even if it was put on hold, even though this matter was put on hold, it has to be said that the emperor's energy is quite large, and it is not comparable to ordinary people, even though this matter only lasted For a period of time, the harvest is still not small. In addition to harvesting Xu Xiake, Song Yingxing is quite famous in history. It is really easy to find these people who have their own fame and fame through the power of the government. Blow the dust.

However, unlike Xu Xiake who had a great reputation, Song Yingxing was unknown for a simple reason. At this time, Song Yingxing was still running for fame. Those things that made him famous in the future, such as "Heavenly Creation", It hasn't been written yet.

The focus of Yang Reform's eyes is no longer on the mansion newspaper, but after the mansion newspaper.

"Alas..." Yang Reform sighed, he already had an idea in his mind, and now he had basically grasped the fate of the Ming Dynasty.For celebrities, it is already dispensable, more is icing on the cake, and less will not cause much obstacle to oneself.However, what happened to Liu Tingyuan caused Yang Reform to have a different opinion. The more talent reserves, the better. The Ming Dynasty should let a hundred flowers bloom, or in other words, give more people the channel to succeed. One person’s success is not Success, this era, should belong to this generation. If the emperor himself can achieve success in this era, he should also allow more people of this generation to achieve their own success. Only more people can achieve success. The world is wonderful, so that you will not be lonely.

And from the complicated environment in the late Ming Dynasty to choose the backup of the imperial party and select talents, I have to say that celebrities are still my first choice, at least the personality of celebrities is guaranteed, and moreover, the newly educated talents are at least ten years later Now, we can only choose from among the older generation of literati.

It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. Yang Reform now has a real experience. Cultivating talents is not something that happens overnight.

"..." Yang Reform didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly said to himself.

"Big companion!" Yang Reform suddenly shouted.

"The servant is here!" Wang Chengen waited on him, and hurriedly agreed.

"Today, I suddenly became interested. I am going to the Imperial College to have a conversation with the students. You should immediately order Lin Qian to make preparations. The scene should be a little bigger, and the number of people who should chat with you should not be too small..., Zhen After approving these few memorials, go, and then prepare..." Yang Reform decided to do something, so he immediately ordered Wang Chengen to do it, and prepare some things by the way.

"Slave obeys the order!" Wang Chengen listened, and quickly agreed, and then went to give orders. I don't know what the emperor thought, and suddenly wanted to go to the Imperial College to talk to the students. Since the order was given, let's do it. This Imperial College is the emperor. Lin Qian is one of his own people. In the past, he really had to say hello first, give him some time to prepare, and not embarrass him.

Yang Reform made up his mind, quickly corrected his homework and played the book.Going to the Guozijian, apart from talking to the students, there is also the matter of the Kong family, which has always made Yang Reform a little reluctant, so he decided to get in touch with the Kong family again. The current Yan Shenggong of the Kong family is not a "loyal minister". It is a typical person who is a mother if there is a milk. To deal with him, Yang Reform thinks that there must be a way.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the servants have already given orders..." Wang Chengen came back and reported that the emperor still had a lot of things to explain, and he also ordered to prepare some props, but he had to prepare them carefully first.

"Well, are you ready to order? Okay, I will go after I have finished approving these memorials, and leave some time there, don't be in a hurry, otherwise, Lin Qian will be too busy, and it will be embarrassing..." Yang Reform corrected , said the side.

"Yes, Your Majesty!...Your Majesty, the Lord of England seeks to see you! Does Your Majesty want to see you?" Wang Chengen had no choice but to agree to the emperor before he finished speaking.

"Oh, British Lord? Please!" Yang Reform was slightly puzzled, and agreed to see Zhang Weixian. He didn't know what the old guy was looking for now. Yang Reform suspiciously put down his pen, closed the notebook, and wrote The case was cleaned up a little bit.

"I bow to Your Majesty!" Zhang Weixian came in and saluted.

"Master, please get up quickly, big companion, let's take a seat!" Yang Reform immediately helped Zhang Weixian up from a distance, and let Zhang Weixian sit down. Zhang Weixian has always been treated like this.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!" Zhang Weixian sat down formally without being pretentious.

"Hehe, I don't know why the Duke came to see me today?" Yang Reform asked with a smile. The cooperation with Zhang Weixian was quite pleasant, and Yang Reform was quite polite to Zhang Weixian.

"Uh, Your Majesty... This, Your Majesty, this,... Your Majesty, this..." Before Zhang Weixian could say anything, he stuttered and looked embarrassed.

"Hehe, is there something wrong with the Duke? If there is something, the Duke can just say, I can solve it, and I will solve it immediately." Yang Reform is very bold, and he can tell at a glance that the old guy's eyes are shining brightly, and there must be something wrong Ask yourself, depending on the situation, it is mostly for money, if it is about other issues, it is impossible for the eyebrows to be so bright.

"Your Majesty, it's about Tian Hongyu, the head of the state. This..." Zhang Weixian said the purpose of his visit, a little embarrassed. He came this time to ask the emperor to divide his flesh, but the emperor didn't owe him anything. Yes, it is always embarrassing to divide the meat.

"Oh, what happened to Tian Hongyu? Could it be that this person has done something outrageous, and the Duke wants to impeach him?" Yang Reform could tell at a glance that this guy was probably fooled by Tian Hongyu, and he was envious of Tian Hongyu's fortune. , Jealous of Tian Hongyu's dominance of the horse market, he came to talk to himself, and Yang Reform deliberately asked him if he wanted to impeach Tian Hongyu.

"No, no, Your Majesty, I am definitely not impeaching Tian Hongyu, I just think, think, this, this, I also want to follow His Majesty to farm the land, this... I heard that Your Majesty pointed out a way for Tian Hongyu I asked him to go to Liaodong to buy land, and I wanted His Majesty to point out the way. This... I don’t know Your Majesty..." Zhang Weixian immediately denied that he was here to impeach Tian Hongyu, impeaching him as a joke, everyone is on the same path People, can impeach him?Although that guy Tian Hongyu was a bit domineering, he did it for the emperor. He wanted to share the meat from him, that is, to grab the meat from the emperor. He also wanted to make more money with the emperor.

"Hehehe..." Yang Reform laughed for a while, and sighed in his heart, this Tian Hongyu is good at showing off and fooling around. It took only a few days to fool Zhang Weixian, which is really a good result.These noble dispositions have not changed their donkey temper of "holding on and going backwards". You have to discuss many things with them and let them do what they do. They may not necessarily follow you, but if If you don’t call them, they see others walking on the road, and immediately follow behind to ask for benefits, begging you.It is not the first time that Yang Reform has dealt with these nobles headed by Zhang Weixian. This kind of donkey temper has not been seen in a day or two. It was the same when the bank opened to save money back then. They were not asked to save. I want to save, but if they are really asked to save first, I guess they won't do it again. This is a typical donkey temper of "holding back and holding back".Yang Reform reckoned that this time, it would probably be like this.

"What does the Duke mean, you also want to buy land in Liaodong?" Yang Reform asked.

"Return to Your Majesty!... This, yes, yes, is to buy land in Liaodong, but I heard that Tian Hongyu has no worries about sales. Although I also want to buy land in Liaodong, the sales..." Zhang Weixian said eagerly , spit out the reason for his coming.

Yang Reform knew that Zhang Weixian would say that, this year's large-scale sweet potato planting was called Tian Hongyu, and these people were not called. Yang Reform also knew that these people were lazy, and they wanted to sit back and enjoy the benefits rather than take risks. There is a certain investment risk in things like sweet potatoes. This is something that Zhang Weixian and other veterans are unwilling to do. Yang Reform can only pay for it himself, and let Tian Hongyu demonstrate first.

Yang Reform knew better that what Zhang Weixian was talking about was farming, and he was talking more about Tian Hongyu monopolizing the horse market business. The brewed wine has nowhere to sell, isn't it a loss?
"Hehe, the Duke wants to buy land in Liaodong...hehe, what do you say about this matter? Now that the eastern captives have not been settled, it is risky to go there to buy land!" Yang Reform pretended to be stupid and said this on purpose.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..., Jinzhou, Jinzhou..." Zhang Weixian's old face was like a dry orange peel, with lines spreading, and he didn't know whether he was laughing or crying, reminding the emperor strangely.

"Hehehe..." Yang Reform laughed for a while again. This old guy must have heard Tian Hongyu's fooling around, but he inquired about the matter clearly.

"Since the Duke knows so well, then I will not be hypocritical, I will tell the truth to the Duke..." Yang Reform is in a good mood, he did not expect to be transferred to such a big fish so soon, and he has the heart to fight with this fish. Yu summed it up carefully. If this guy takes the lead, then the matter of Liaodong will be considered a success.

"...I listen to your Majesty's instruction..." The British Duke Zhang Weixian immediately opened the old orange peel.

"Does the Duke consider himself a taxpayer or a non-taxpayer?" Yang Reform asked at the beginning.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister's family has received the kindness of the Ming Dynasty, and his Majesty is the only one to look after him. His Majesty asks the minister to pay taxes, and the minister will naturally pay the tax. Naturally, he will unswervingly follow His Majesty..." Zhang Weixian immediately expressed his opinion.

"Well, that's good! Since the Duke is a taxpayer, it's easy to say that outside this pass, I don't intend to give it to others for nothing. Anyone who gets the land has to pay taxes. Otherwise, I will support so many people. , how to afford it? How to maintain the peace of the frontier? The Duke said, right? It’s not that I want to collect taxes from everyone, but that if we don’t collect taxes, everyone will not live in peace, right? This tax, in fact, is still used by everyone. It's on the head, isn't it?" Yang Reform said.

"That's, that's..." Mr. Zhang Weixian nodded immediately.

"Well, since the Duke is interested, I'll make a statement. Regarding the Duke's affairs, he should be treated the same as Tian Hongyu. Tian Hongyu can have as much as the Duke. How about it?" Yang Reform said He made a generous statement. With Zhang Weixian taking the lead, this Liaodong development group entered another company to develop the power of Liaodong, and gained another point.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!... But, this..." Zhang Weixian thanked him for his gratitude, but he couldn't get any accurate words, and he still had some doubts in his heart.

"Oh, what else do you want to ask?" Yang Reform said.

"Return to Your Majesty, I want to ask about the horse market..." Zhang Weixian said what he meant, that is the horse market, whether this kind of sweet potato or other products, sales are always a big problem, if there is no Tian Hongyu has a big market like that, and it would be a loss to learn from him to grow sweet potatoes. His original intention is to get a share of the horse market.

"Hehehe..., this matter! The Duke wants to ask about the sales of wine after brewing, right?" Yang Reform also knew that Zhang Weixian would ask such a question, so he avoided the horse market and talked directly about the sales of wine question.

"This..." Zhang Weixian faltered.

"Duke, don't worry. There is no reason for me to lose money in business. Since I have promised the Duke, I will not let the Duke lose money. Of course, sales are not a problem. Don't worry, the Duke. Besides, Liaodong is so big. Can you grow sweet potatoes to make wine? You can also do other businesses. Don’t always focus on the horse market, but look farther away, such as overseas. The reason why I asked Tian Hong to meet Jinzhou to farm is that I value that Jinzhou is close to the sea, and it is convenient to go by sea..." Yang Reform avoided talking about the horse market. In fact, the sales ability of the horse market is not that strong. The key is related to his own Mongolian strategy. If too many people go, it may spoil their own affairs, and it is not easy to control, at least let Tian Hongyu dominate the horse market until Jinxi escapes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En, I understand!" Zhang Weixian saw that the emperor had talked about this point, and knew that the horse market business would be impossible. When it came to overseas, Zhang Weixian also knew what way to go. Today's sea trade, they I also started to get involved gradually, and I am no stranger to overseas affairs.

"Okay! But I have stated in advance that the land in Liaodong has not yet been said. It is still an enclave. I can only guarantee the same treatment for the Duke and Tian Hongyu. Whatever happens to Tian Hongyu, the Duke will do whatever. I will never Of course, the other rules are still the old rules, so I won’t repeat them.” Yang Reform once again emphasized the uncertainty of the land in Liaodong. The development group has been found, and then everyone will work hard together, so that the matter in Liaodong can be smooth sailing, otherwise, it will not work by relying on Hu Tianhai's blind imagination there. With common interests, everyone will naturally work together to maintain , don't need to say anything more.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En, I understand, I understand." Although Zhang Weixian did not ask for the right to manage the horse market, he also got the emperor's promise, which is not a small gain, and he thanked him immediately.The other rules are naturally simple, pay taxes, the emperor participates in shares, and listen to the emperor's greetings.
