Chapter 614 Big Lantern Liu Tingyuan
The court situation was unusually "calm". Even Zhang Xianyong made a big noise on the Ghost Festival, but it didn't cause much "turbulence" in the court situation.

The city of Beijing is still getting more and more lively. People pouring in from various places in the Ming Dynasty made this ancient capital that has gone through hundreds of years exude an indescribable vitality.

Yang Reform dismissed the Xiaochaohui and did not return to the Qianqing Palace. He left the Forbidden City directly and went to enjoy the cool air by the Taiye Pond.At the Xiaochao meeting, Yang Reform rejected the candidate for the governor of Liaodong. It seemed that Yuan Chonghuan was the Minister of the Ministry of War.This problem became the main reason why Yuan Chonghuan could not be appointed Minister of the Ministry of War. Without a suitable candidate to succeed Yuan Chonghuan, the emperor would naturally not let Yuan Chonghuan be the Minister of the Ministry of War.Now Donglu seems to have regained some vitality on the grassland. Not everyone can go to Liaodong to be a governor.

Yang Reform has rejected the nomination of several personnel, and the cabinet ministers seem to have no intention of arguing with the emperor. If the emperor says no, no one will argue that the emperor must agree. A piece of harmony.

Yang Reform sat on the walking chariot, thinking about this matter, it seems that this matter needs to be accelerated, and it is not a problem to keep procrastinating like this.After thinking about it, he arrived at the Taiye Pool. As soon as the cool wind blew, Yang Reform became a little drowsy.

……

After taking a nap for a while, Yang Reform was awakened by the cool wind again.

Wang Chengen was serving. Seeing that the emperor had woken up, he hurried over to serve him.

"Your Majesty is awake, but what do you want to drink to soothe your throat?" Wang Cheng'en said.

"No, I'll lie down again. Do you have any plans for this afternoon?" Yang Reform slept limply. He couldn't be more comfortable, and he really didn't want to move a finger.

"Return to Your Majesty, Liu Tingyuan, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of War, asks to see you." Wang Cheng'en said.Liu Tingyuan was originally a member of the imperial party. Although he lost his position, Wang Chengen still arranged him as the first person the emperor wanted to meet.

"Oh, him, how is he doing recently? For example, his mood and behavior?" Yang Reform asked softly.

"Returning to Your Majesty, he basically doesn't go out very much. If you want to talk about your mood, I'm not sure about it. At least there are no bad emotions about him." Wang Chengen replied.

"Oh, let him come to see me." Yang Reform said, arranging a way out for the people of the imperial party is also an important task. Although it is nothing compared to today's major events, Yang Reform knows that many times, A good reputation will bring great convenience to his work, although Liu Tingyuan was impeached because he asked for it, but Yang Reform can't just abandon him casually.

"Slave obeys the order!" Wang Chengen promised.

……

Liu Tingyuan did not wear official uniform when he entered the palace this time. He was dressed in ordinary scholar's clothes. He seemed to have a lot of thoughts. Now that the wind in Beijing is very cloudy, even if he is not a minister of the Ministry of War and stays at home all day, he still knows that something big will happen. It happened, Liu Tingyuan has been thinking about the way the emperor arranged for him before, what should he do, be a "legend" arranged by the emperor, or ask the emperor to arrange an easy job?I don't know if the emperor will win the battle with those people this time. If the emperor loses, he may be liquidated. I'm afraid it's not as simple as just stepping down, or taking advantage of the current situation when the situation is not clear. Jump out, maybe you don't have to worry about this matter.

"The sinner Liu Tingyuan kowtows to His Majesty!" Liu Tingyuan bowed to the emperor with a heavy heart.

"Excuse me, get up." Yang Reform just stood up from his chair.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!" Liu Tingyuan said.

"The Qing family hasn't been convicted yet, so there's no need to sin." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"Your Majesty!..." When Liu Tingyuan saw the emperor, he thought of all the things he had done with the emperor, and his heart immediately became bitter. It was such a pleasure to work with the emperor. Unfortunately, his foundation is not very clean. Not in the long run, if I knew I would have this life, why did I do those dirty hands and feet in the first place?Seeing that all the imperialists will become famous in the future, but he can only stop halfway, it is really unpleasant, and tears flow out.

"Hey, how are you thinking about things in the future?" Seeing Liu Tingyuan's eyes watering as soon as he arrived, Yang Reform sighed and comforted him.

"Your Majesty!..." Liu Tingyuan burst into tears, regretting being so indulgent and domineering at the beginning, otherwise, it would be a different situation now.

"Okay, don't cry at Liu Qing's family. As the saying goes, where you fall, you must get up from where you fell. Now that the military department of the second rank is gone, let's do it again in the future. Let the people of the world see Liu Qing's family." His ability." Yang Reform persuaded him kindly.

"..., I am sorry for your majesty's cultivation and failed your majesty's expectations..." Liu Tingyuan cried bitterly when he thought of the sad place.

"...It seems that the Qing family is not willing to go to Daliuqiu? If you don't want to go, then forget it. I can arrange you to go to a nearby place. Going to Liaodong is not bad, but if you go to Liaodong, he Your daily achievements may not be as good as going to Daliuqiu. Over there in Liaodong, it is impossible to give you a promotion every year! You have to climb up from the eighth and ninth ranks again, which is quite difficult..." Yang Reform almost cried when Liu Tingyuan , said again.The way that Liu Tingyuan was formulated at the beginning was based on the fact that the Great Liuqiu would continue to be upgraded and the colony would continue to expand, because the Great Liuqiu is a "land outside the culture" and can be operated relatively easily, unlike Liaodong, which was recovered Everyone knows about the lost ground there, and they pay special attention to it. It is quite difficult to get up, not to mention that Liaodong may not be able to catch up with the wars every year, and it is even more difficult to get promoted. It's not interesting to be an official of the fifth or sixth rank, so it's better not to go.Yang Reform also wanted Liu Tingyuan to become a live example of promoting "a place outside of Huabei". Although this person is a bit indiscreet, he is still one of his own, and he is easy to use. If he wants to expand the territory in the future, he has "confidantes" , and there is no need to fanfare, of course, Liu Tingyuan is not forced.

"..." Liu Tingyuan has also been struggling with this matter. It stands to reason that the way the emperor arranged for him is indeed very attractive. He can recover in a few years and appear in the eyes of the world with a brand new attitude. This undoubtedly proves that he Liu Tingyuan is capable. He has washed away the shame of the past, and he can be an official in an upright manner. He is no longer afraid that others will criticize him with the past. This kind of "killing back" to prove himself can indeed be called a "legendary" " Two words, although this achievement cannot be compared with Sun, Xu, Bi and others, it can be regarded as a small achievement, at least better than today's "sinful and old-fashioned". Thumbs up, say admiration.Of course, going to Daliuqiu may face all kinds of accidents, and going there also has to do things, all kinds of tiredness and suffering, it is basically predictable, the emperor will not pay attention to a useless person.

"Your Majesty, minister..." Liu Tingyuan was even more difficult.To go or not to go?The future is bright, but the process must be difficult. He is just a criminal who lost his official position. The emperor cares about him so much and arranges a way out for him. It is the emperor's kindness, but the emperor cannot pay attention to him all the time. It is possible to arrange various ways for him all the time.To be able to call him into the palace to speak is because the emperor has treated him extra well.

"...Your Majesty, I am willing!" Liu Yanyuan gritted his teeth and agreed. After passing this village, the shop will be gone. The emperor can't always take his affairs to heart. If he hesitates and ambiguously, the emperor will probably hate him too. Now that the emperor has put down his words and asked him to come back and become an official for the world to see, His Majesty must have a strategy and won't lie to him. Otherwise, how could it be so troublesome to just make him a rich man?Liu Tingyuan believed in the reputation of the emperor, the emperor would not promise easily, since he could promise him, then he was willing to take this road.Since he will be looked down upon everywhere in the future, it is better to fight now.

"Okay, since the Qing family has agreed, then I will arrange this matter. The Qing family is from a Jinshi background. Even if you lose your official position, the fame is still there, so you can move around. Although there were some stains in the past, but now I will demote you. Going overseas, speaking of it, is an extremely severe punishment. It can be regarded as having settled the previous affairs in one brain. In the future, you will be an official with no qualms. If the Qing family goes here, you may be able to make a lot of money Sympathy..." Yang Reform said with a smile.It can be foreseen that there will be many big moves in the South China Sea in the future, and sending a former "confidant" there at this time can be regarded as an early plan.This man who came from a Jinshi background and went overseas as a minister of the Ministry of War, this is undoubtedly a big lantern, which will definitely illuminate the fog of overseas, and let the world, especially the scholars, look overseas.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking care of me!" Having decided to go to Daliuqiu, Liu Tingyuan felt a lot more relaxed, and he felt a surge of pride in his heart. Regardless of how "miserable" he is today, he will definitely impress the world in the future.

"The Qing family will make preparations in the next few days. If you have free time, read more training materials for the new army and familiarize yourself with combat matters. It will be useful in the future. When you pass by Shanghai, you can stay there for a while. Learn how to live in the open sea, the Qing family must pay attention to these two points, overseas is no better than inland, many habits have to be changed, otherwise, it is impossible to live overseas." Yang Reform reminded again.Yang Reform is not afraid that this guy doesn't know how to fight. It shouldn't be difficult to bully those natives with a flintlock. Wherever he is asked to go is purely for him to gain experience. This is incomparable to going to Liaodong. If this guy is really going to Liaodong, Yang Reform is afraid that something will happen to him, and he will make trouble.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern..." Liu Tingyuan also sighed in his heart and thanked.From now on, I will bid farewell to this colorful world.

……

After sending Liu Tingyuan away, Yang Reform closed his eyes and thought about it for a long time. This matter must be arranged for Liu Tingyuan.

"Big companion." Yang Reform called out.

"The servant is here." Wang Chengen quickly agreed.

"Go and invite Shi Fenglai, I have something to order." Yang Reform said.With Shi Fenglai as his mouthpiece, this kind of matter must naturally be handled through him.

"Slave obeys the order!" Wang Chengen promised.

……

Not long after, Shi Fenglai arrived, and when he arrived, he immediately saluted the emperor respectfully.

"Chen Shi Feng came to see His Majesty!" He didn't kowtow, but just bowed.

"Hehe, you're welcome, is the chief assistant busy?" Yang Reform asked with a smile.

"Back to Your Majesty, I have nothing serious to do, but Your Majesty has something to tell me?" Shi Fenglai said hastily.

"Hehe, I do have two things for you to do. The first one is that this year's sweet potatoes should be harvested. This is your presidency and your political achievements. You have to work hard! The results of local sweet potato cultivation are counted, otherwise, your political achievements are in vain?" Yang Reform came up to talk about this, urging Shi Fenglai to get some results quickly.

"... Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty..." Shi Fenglai didn't expect the emperor to ask him about this, but he was urging him to show his results as soon as possible!With so much money invested this year, it is hard to think that there will be no results. This is the political achievement that the emperor bought for him with real money. It has a decent political achievement.

"In this matter, the chief assistant must put his heart into it, and get rid of the results of planting sweet potatoes as quickly as possible. Those who should be promoted should be promoted, and those who should be rewarded should be rewarded. Otherwise, this person's hearts will be scattered. National policy is difficult." Yang Reform said with a smile, and kept urging Shi Fenglai to get the results of planting sweet potatoes up, otherwise, even if there is an official position vacant, it is impossible to keep it for you all the time!
"Your Majesty, I have been paying attention to this matter. The sweet potatoes in many places have already begun to be harvested, and some are still waiting to be harvested. I think the results will be calculated in a few days. Don't worry, Your Majesty, it won't take too long... ..." Seeing the emperor urging him to implement his political achievements as soon as possible, Shi Fenglai immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. This political achievement can be regarded as falling on his head.

"That's good, hurry up as soon as possible..." Yang Reform urged again.

"...This is the first thing, and the second thing is about Liu Yanyuan..." Yang Reform said the first thing, and started to talk about the second.

"Liu Yanyuan?..." Shi Fenglai couldn't understand.

"Yes, Liu Yanyuan, I'm going to demote him to Daliuqiu, let him go there to do a border inspection, and start again as a small official of the eighth or ninth rank. You can arrange this matter." Yang Reform said .

"Uh... Great Liuqiu... eighth and ninth rank..." Shi Fenglai petrified on the spot. His first feeling was that Liu Yanyuan had offended the emperor by delegating the second-rank Shangshu overseas to be a patrol inspector of the eighth and ninth rank. How much, the emperor hates him so much?

"...Your Majesty, it seems..., Your Majesty, you can't do it! Even if Liu Yanyuan made a mistake and spoiled His Majesty's affairs, His Majesty must not treat him like this! There is hard work without credit, and if it is spread This is a great loss to His Majesty's reputation!" Shi Fenglai came to his senses and immediately persuaded the emperor, no matter from which point of view, he had to persuade the emperor.

"No, no, no, the chief assistant may have misunderstood what I meant. When I said I belittled him, I didn't really belittle him. I don't hate him either. He just came to talk to me. My It means that now that Liu Yanyuan has a stain on him, if he wants to make a difference, he may not be able to do it. I intend to let him go overseas to sharpen his skills. He will start from a small official and become a high-ranking official again. Let the world see..." Yang Reform explained.

"Ah!..." Shi Fenglai petrified.

"Don't worry, I have already communicated with Liu Yanyuan about this matter. He also volunteered to go to Daliuqiu. He is not willing to be depressed like this. He intends to show those who impeach him." Yang Reform explained with a smile.

"Uh...Your Majesty, this, this...seems...not right..." Shi Fenglai didn't know what to say, this kind of thing was beyond the limit of his imagination, and he could do it step by step again after being demoted as a second-rank officer return?This may be the only one in the entire Ming Dynasty. Liu Yanyuan is not just resigning from office, nor is he retiring.
"Don't worry, I know this matter well. In a few years, Liu Yanyuan will be able to get back up again. Naturally, I won't harm him..." Yang Reform said.

"Get up in a few years?..." Shi Fenglai couldn't understand anymore.

"Great Liuqiu's current development momentum is very good. A county can become a state in a few years, and a state can become a government in a few years. When the county becomes a government, the official will naturally have to be promoted, so we have to do it again. It's not difficult..." Yang Reform explained with a smile.

"Ah!..." Shi Fenglai finally came to his senses when he heard this. He naturally knows about the Great Liuqiu and is very familiar with it. Nowadays, most of the immigrants go there, and the cost of emigrating there is cheaper. Much more, roughly only about [-]% to [-]% of those who immigrate to places like Dongting Lake. After a million immigrants a year, it is true that within a few years it will become a state, government, or even a province. It is not impossible that this official will naturally be promoted extremely Come on, the emperor is indeed not lying.

"Do you understand what I mean?" Seeing Shi Fenglai's suddenly enlightened look, Yang Reform asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, I understand. Your Majesty wants to re-cultivate Liu Yanyuan. Your Majesty has worked hard, and I have wrongly blamed Your Majesty." Shi Fenglai also roughly understood the emperor's intentions. He probably wanted Liu Tingyuan to go there to work as an official for 100 years a year. Ten thousand years later, in just a few years, that place will have a population of several million. Such a large population is even comparable to a province with a small population. After all, the registered population of Ming Dynasty is only over 6000 million. If there are 600% of the population, that is [-] million, there are so many people, enough to close the province, then it is not two capitals and [-] provinces, but two capitals and [-] provinces.

"Well, it's good to understand. The argument for this matter is that Liu Tingyuan made a mistake. I punished him, but I have merit. I demoted him to a small official overseas. It is a punishment for him. The previous things will be written off. I hope he Make up your mind and become an official again..." Yang Reform said what he meant, and Yang Reform believed that once such an eye-popping incident came out, the overseas affairs would definitely become a hot topic among people. The purpose of the matter is also achieved.

"I obey the order!" Shi Fenglai accepted the order seriously.

……

Several days passed.

It's another small court meeting.

Shi Fenglai had already made preparations, and the first thing he did was tell the story. In this too "calm" court, there was quite a stir, and some people couldn't sit still.

"Ah! Demoted to Daliuqiu for inspection?" Not only were the imperial party surprised, but Han Yu and Cao Yubian were also surprised, and Cao Yubian even shouted. Contrary to their expectations, they only thought about letting Liu Yanyuan step down, but they never thought about demoting Liu Yanyuan to that place. The emperor's move... really exceeded their expectations.

Xiaochaohui, which was originally calm, immediately boiled hot.

Among the emperors, those who understand are not so panicked, and those who don't understand look at the emperor with panicked eyes. The emperor is too heartless, but depending on the situation, it doesn't look like it!
The opposition are even more puzzled, how could this happen?
Shi Fenglai had several plans to deal with Liu Tingyuan. Some were directly deprived of his official position, which was treated as usual; No small credit, this is considered better treatment.These are the usual rules for dealing with offenders, but today Shi Fenglai added a demotion to it, and Yang Reform directly chose the demotion, and as soon as he was deposed, he was demoted to an overseas place like Daliuqiu.

The people at the Xiaochao meeting were all human beings. From the initial shock, they quickly realized that everyone was familiar with the Daliuqiu. Knowing the future development of the Daliuqiu, they naturally knew what the emperor meant. It was a relegation, a severe fall, but in fact, it helped Liu Tingyuan again.

"Your Majesty, don't..." This small court meeting, like boiling hot water, immediately became noisy, and someone objected.

"Oh, Cao Qing's family, why not?" Yang Reform asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think that since the official is a criminal, he can be deprived of his official position directly, and there is no need to demote him. This is not in harmony with reason..." Cao Yubian immediately said that his original intention was to drive Liu Tingyuan away. Step down, but I never thought about demoting an official.

"Oh, is that so? Shi Shoufu, what do you say?" Yang Reform asked Shi Fenglai, but he didn't mean to come forward.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think there is nothing wrong with this matter. Didn't the General Constitution also say that? If you have done something wrong, you will be punished. , Your Majesty should also be commended, His Majesty's handling of this has both merits and demerits, and I think there is nothing wrong with it." Shi Fenglai had been prepared for a long time and said immediately.

"This, Your Majesty, this is inappropriate. I have never demoted an official so severely in my dynasty. From a minister of the second rank to a patrol inspector of the ninth rank, this is the gap between the seventh rank and the fourteenth rank! Your Majesty, this is unreasonable." ..." Cao Yubian hurriedly came out to defend himself. Liu Tingyuan was impeached by him. Now that he has been impeached, the way to deal with it is too unimaginable and attracts people's attention. Those who don't know think it is him Cao Yu Bian did a bad job and murdered Liu Tingyuan.

"What's wrong? Cao Qing's family means that officials cannot be demoted, right? That Qing family told me, is there any precedent for demoting officials in my dynasty?" Yang Reform asked with a smile, still not intending to end himself, but let them I said, as for whether it is possible to demote an official, although it was not the norm in the Ming Dynasty, there is definitely a precedent to follow. Since there is a precedent, it is easy to handle.

When the emperor asked this question, Cao Yubian was at a loss for words. The imperial court did seldom demote officials, but it was definitely not an exception when they did something wrong. There were a lot of them, that is to say, it was not uncommon for the emperor to demote officials.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, although there are few demoted officials in my dynasty, there are still precedents for demoted officials. Most of them made mistakes in office, but they did not reach the point of resignation. Therefore, demoted officials should be used as punishment, but there are few demoted officials. It’s so powerful.” Zhang Ruitu did explain this question, it’s not that Zhang Ruitu helped anyone, it’s just a common-sense question, as a bachelor, he should be obliged to answer the question for the emperor.

"Oh, you can still demote the official! Let's demote..." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you can't..."

"Your Majesty, you can't..."

"Your Majesty, this cannot be..." The opposition immediately objected again.

Yang Reform pressed the pressure with his hands, and everyone immediately quieted down.

"Let's talk about it, don't quarrel, Han Qing's family, I see that you can't say it, so you can talk about it first." Yang Reform said.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think this is unacceptable. This punishment is too heavy. It seems that your Majesty is narrow-minded. It is better to resign. Since you have made meritorious service, you can still keep Liu Yanyuan's fame. In this way, even if you have been punished, it is also considered a punishment." It's rewarding." Han Yu immediately expressed his thoughts.

Yang Reform did not immediately say what to do, but let everyone else speak.

Those who opposed the demotion said nothing more than that the punishment was too heavy and too harsh, which made the court appear narrow-minded.

When Cao Yubian heard it, he felt his lungs were about to explode. At first they impeached Liu Yanyuan, but the impeachment was desperate, and finally impeached, but in the end, they had to intercede for this guy. The one who came out to oppose must be in favor of such a severe punishment. These people have become the ones who speak well of Liu Yanyuan. What are these things?
Yang Reform pressed his hand again, ending everyone's discussion.

"Actually, I also think that what Han Qing's family said makes sense. It is more appropriate to leave the official and keep the fame. This is also in line with the tradition of our dynasty. However, I am very envious of the many practices of the former Song Dynasty. Those with political disagreements should be given a certain amount of room for relaxation, and don’t make it like an eunuch. In that case, it will become a party dispute. I won’t say more about the harm of party disputes. What Song did..." Yang Reform said with a smile, making up a random reason.In fact, the reason why the Song Dynasty was able to do this, but the Ming Dynasty could not, is actually related to one thing, that is, salary. Officials in the Song Dynasty can live a good life on their salary, so compared with the Ming Dynasty, they are much more honest. Those who live on a salary, if they have no official position, they will lose their salary, which is really ruining their jobs. Therefore, the Song Dynasty can demote officials, but the Ming Dynasty obviously cannot. Officials do not live on their salaries, so This level of scruples does not exist, so if the Ming Dynasty wants to follow the example of the Song Dynasty in demoting officials, the premise is that the wages of the Ming Dynasty can rise, at least to the extent that officials can live a good life on their wages, and then there may be demotions soil.Of course, this is just a reason for Yang Reform to talk casually.

When the emperor said this, many people were confused. What exactly is going on with this statement?Is it good or bad?
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!..." Cao Yubian objected immediately.Leaving aside the pros and cons of the demotion system, just dealing with Liu Yanyuan's matter, if it is not handled according to their method, it will be extremely detrimental to them.

"Okay, let's stop talking about the Qing family. Liu Yanyuan should be severely punished if he made mistakes, and rewarded if he made meritorious deeds. The court only needs to do these two things. As for how to punish and reward, this doesn't seem to be the point, Qing Don’t worry about this anymore, could it be that the punishment from the second-rank to the eighth-ninth rank is not severe enough?” Yang Reform casually threw a smoke bomb, and he didn’t plan to make any more ink marks with Cao Yubian, and directly ordered him to be judged .

The others didn't know if they were confused by the new statement thrown out by the emperor, or they had no reason to say it, and the voice of opposition weakened.

Cao Yubian was at a loss for words, the emperor's words had reached this level, they already understood that they had the right to impeachment, and if the impeachment was true, they should be severely punished, but how to punish them was out of their control, they could make suggestions, But in the end, it still has to be decided by the emperor. The emperor blamed them for overstepping their power. If they have the final say on everything, what do you want the emperor to do?To a certain extent, the emperor can make decisions freely, which is quite normal. If he still entangles with this, he will undoubtedly be domineering, and the reputation of powerful ministers will be deducted.As for Liu Yanyuan's relegation from the second rank to the eighth and ninth rank, this still counts the credit in it. If it is not severely punished, it is obviously not justified.Of course, they all knew that the place of Daliuqiu would develop greatly in the future. Although it seemed to be severely demoted now, the emperor had opened another way for Liu Yanyuan. The emperor wanted to slap them in the face!
……

After the Xiaochaohui was over, this matter immediately fermented into the most sensational event in the capital. After all, to be able to relegate a former Minister of the Ministry of War to a barren land overseas for an inspection of the eighth and ninth ranks is explosive no matter what. The news immediately became the talk of the entire Beijing city.

Cao Yubian and the others also made the last effort and even sealed back the emperor's order. However, the mansion newspaper published an interview with Liu Yanyuan the next day. Liu Yanyuan claimed that he was willing to accept this punishment and redeem his merits , willing to go to Daliuqiu, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, he can disregard his personal life and death, and want to serve the court with his death, and his words are very high-sounding.The person who returned the emperor's order was immediately made inhumane.Cao Yubian was also full of anger.

This matter, fermented until the next day, has completely become the most concerned thing in Beijing.After all, this fact is new.

Countless teahouses in Beijing were discussing this matter, some were inquiring about the inside story, some were commenting on the truth, and more people were wondering why the emperor was so ruthless and wanted to demote Liu Yanyuan to the Great Liuqiu?Isn't Liu Yanyuan an imperial party?Why did Mr. Han Ge and the others oppose demoting officials?

"Old Master, tell me, what is the purpose of this? Why am I so confused? Isn't Mr. Liu one of His Majesty's people? Why is His Majesty so cruel and relegate him to that place where no shit Go? Daliuqiu is far away from our Ming Dynasty. I heard that there are all savages there..." In a teahouse, a person asked puzzledly. This question is also a question that many people want to ask. Why is it the other way around?

This old master is quite well-known in the teahouses in Beijing, and he can often get gossip and inside information that ordinary people can't get, and the explanations are decent, so people who go to the teahouse to listen to him talk about newspapers, Quite a lot, the owner of the teahouse is paying more and more attention to this God of Wealth. With him around, he will not worry about business.

This old master's condition is much better than before. His dark face before has become rosy now, and some luster can be seen on his dry face.

"Yeah! Old master, why is Mr. Liu willing to go again? Logically speaking, shouldn't he not go? Then, the elders of Han Pavilion, why do you want to intercede with Mr. Liu Yanyuan again? We are all confused. , It seems that something is wrong! Could it be that the gentlemen who are officials are hiding it from us?" Some people continued to ask.This question was also immediately agreed by many people. People who come here to drink tea are nothing more than to listen to gossip. Regarding this kind of matter, they are willing to let it go, and let the old master interpret the inside story immediately.

"Ahem..." The old master with a ruddy face coughed a few times and was about to speak.Everyone quieted down, looked at the old master, and waited for him to speak.

"...This matter, in fact, the key is that it is related to one thing, so this matter is so strange. The reason why you can't understand it is because you don't understand this matter. If you take this matter I figured it out, I naturally understand this matter..." The old master still shook his head, but now the swing is much smaller than before.After saying a few words, I immediately picked up the teacup and drank tea, whetting my appetite.

"Old Master, tell me quickly!" Someone urged.

"Yes! Old Master, tell me quickly! What the hell is going on?" Some people couldn't hold back the attraction of this gossip, and began to urge them.

"...Old Master, I'm going to invite you to drink today, so you can tell me quickly..." Someone simply used his trump card.

"Ahem..." The old master calmly put down his teacup, coughed a few more times, and began to speak.

"This matter is actually related to one thing, and that is immigration. Don't look at the Daliuqiu as a barren land, but in a few years, that place will be a land of fish and rice. Now His Majesty sent Master Liu there Go, you are actually cultivating Mr. Liu." Seeing someone offering a drink, the old master said immediately.

"Oh, old master, can you explain in detail?" Someone urged.

"It's not easy. You can do the math yourself. Now I, Ming, immigrated millions of people every year, and where did I move to? Isn't it the Great Liuqiu? That place doesn't say 100 million a year, but there are still hundreds of thousands. If it's not a few years, then But how many millions of people! How many people do I have in Ming Dynasty now? There are only more than 500 million people on the register. Do your calculations. After a few years, will it still be a barren land? I have two capitals and thirteen provinces in Ming Dynasty. Each place is only four to five million, and it only takes a few years for Daliuqiu to be as big as a province, so do you understand?" The old master immediately explained the reason, as to why he knew If it is so clear, then only the old master knows it.

"Oh……"

"Wow……"

"So it is, so it is..."

Everyone began to express that this is the case. If you want to say this, everyone understands that it is still a barren land, and it will be comparable to the province in a few years. Doesn't that mean that this official will also be promoted?It's no wonder that the emperor kept demoting Mr. Liu, while Mr. Han Ge and the others kept refusing to demote them. The root cause is here!

More people began to ask where the Great Liuqiu is, how big is the land, and how can it support so many people?The old master explained all this with a smile, what is three crops a year, and rice can be grown by inserting a chopstick in any field, no need to wear cotton clothes, no need to be exposed to the cold, and talked about these benefits.As for how to know it, the old master will tell you that it is written in the newspapers, but you did not pay attention to it yourself. As for the truth, only the old master knows it.

The entire Beijing city is discussing this matter, and more people are beginning to be interested in this overseas matter. In the past, although immigrants had a huge momentum, it is not that everyone has never heard of the Great Liuqiu, but more Some people treat overseas with a sense of superiority, thinking that only those who can't afford to go to Daliuqiu, although the imperial court said it was fake, may not be the case in reality, and everyone subconsciously denies this. I don't care too much about overseas affairs.

But this incident obviously broke their inertial thinking. If the place in Daliuqiu is really that bad, and overseas is really that bad, can the elders fight desperately to go there?This is the head is broken, right?It is said that the imperial decree of the emperor was also sealed.If there is no sweetness, who would believe it?Now that the elders are all rushing to go with their heads smashed, it is obvious that the Great Liuqiu or overseas is not the barren land that I imagined.

This incident has even touched many wealthy people from all walks of life who came to the capital to seek connections. They are in the inland and know little about the ocean. Even if they have the intention of investing overseas, they just stop , this is the premise that the emperor guarantees that they can make a profit.They actually have no intention to invest overseas on a large scale, and they want to do some business in the inland. But now the emperor and those people are rushing to go overseas, so that they can develop by virtue of the rapid development of overseas. Undoubtedly, it caught their attention and their interest.

People sometimes have a donkey temper of holding back and holding back.
