Chapter 659

Yang Reform hastily returned to Qianqing Palace, just after drinking a cup of tea, Han Yu arrived.

"Your Majesty, Han Ge is getting old, but Your Majesty wants to see him?" Wang Chengen reported that Han Yu was a cabinet minister. Speaking of which, he also worked in the Forbidden City. He came to Qing Palace quite quickly.

"See you!" Yang Reform said after putting down his teacup and tidying up the table.

Han Yu was at work, and when he heard that the emperor wanted to summon him, he put down what he was doing and came to see him immediately.

"I see Your Majesty." Han Yu came in and saluted.

"Excuse me...how are you preparing for the construction of the lighthouse and port at the Qing family?" Yang Reform asked casually.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, we are still preparing for the survey..." Han Yu agreed.

"Oh, how specific is it?" Yang Reformed asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, some places have been determined to be repaired, such as Tianjin, Shanhaiguan, Jinzhou, Dengzhou, Jinzhou, Shanghai, Ningbo, Hangzhou, Quanzhou, Daliuqiu... However, there are still many uncertainties. Xiu, besides, we have to survey the terrain to see where it is more suitable for construction..." Han Yu began to report that his errand, which seemed to be a trivial matter, actually unfolded the matter, and it was actually quite a big deal. Big ones involve many places, and the more places involved, the more money there will be.

"Oh, so, regarding the matter of lighthouses, let's do it in batches, and first repair the places that can be confirmed first, such as Tianjin, Shanhaiguan, Jinzhou, Jinzhou, Weihai, Shanghai, and Daliuqiu. The Qing family will fix them as soon as possible. As soon as the report comes up, I will start construction as soon as possible, and other repairs will be gradually implemented, the survey that needs to be surveyed, the site that should be selected, and the next batch of repairs..." Yang Reform said.

"Minister obeys the order!" Han Yu replied, seeing that the emperor seemed to be in a hurry than him, Han Yu was a little surprised. He is now leading a new Donglin Party split from the Donglin Party. Such a group of people must fight for some benefits for this force, otherwise, why should they be the leader of this group of people?Now, he is brandishing this matter and gradually integrating his internal strength.

"As for the port, the Qing family can expand Tianjin Port first. The throughput of Tianjin Port is getting bigger and bigger. Many materials in the capital and outside the customs have to come ashore from Tianjin. We need to expand it... Other Jinzhou, Jinzhou , Dengzhou and other ports have to start preparations, and now there are more and more seagoing ships going south and north, and the construction of sea ports should also be put on the agenda, does the Qing family understand?" Yang Reform said again, saying With so many construction projects, Yang Reform's heart is a little empty. They all cost money, and he doesn't dare to roll them out all at once. There will be a big war next year, so we still have to save some money.

"The minister leads the decree!" Han Yu agreed straightforwardly, the more things he repaired, the more money he passed and the more power he had, which was an extremely rare good thing.

"It rained last night, did the Qing family feel it?" Yang Reform asked suddenly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it did rain last night, and it was not too small. It seems that the north wind blows, and today it is a bit cold..." Han Yu was still surprised why the emperor was more anxious than him, and now the emperor brought up the topic of the weather again up?weather?Isn't this what everyone used to say haha ​​when they met?The emperor also played haha ​​with him?Han Yu was speechless.

"Oh..." Yang Reform glanced at Han Yu, but didn't say much.

Han Yu wondered, is the emperor really joking with him?Why don't you ask me about the weather?Weird thing.

Han Yu was wondering, Wang Chengen reported: "Your Majesty, Li Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry has arrived.

"Oh, see." Yang Reform said.Han Yu was even more puzzled.

"I see Your Majesty." Li Changgeng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, came in to salute.

"Exemption..." Yang Reform said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Changgeng stood there after saluting, waiting for the emperor's inquiry.

"Last time I asked the Qing family to prepare to dredge the ditches, how is the preparation of the Qing family?" Yang Reform asked.Winter is coming, and Yang Reform is still planning to prepare some jobs for the farmers who are going to the city this winter, otherwise, there will definitely be problems in cities that cannot accommodate so many people to work.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the minister is almost ready..." Li Changgeng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, immediately replied, the emperor had indeed asked him to prepare for this matter long ago, but at that time he was just asked to prepare, and there was no news for so long Well, Li Changgeng thought that the emperor said at the time that he didn't plan to build ditches, so is it going to be done now?Thinking about it, it should be repaired. The large and small ditches in Beijing have not been repaired for seven or eight years. It is time for a major repair.Thinking about it, a few days ago, the emperor and his ministers were fighting fiercely, and I'm afraid they didn't have the heart to repair the ditches.

"Well, not bad..." Yang Reform said something, and then said: "...It rained last night, did the Qing family feel it?" The question Yang Reform asked was exactly the same as the one he asked Han Yu just now.

When Han Yu heard the emperor asking Li Changgeng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, the exact same question, he was even more puzzled, what did the emperor mean by this?Could it be something?
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it did rain last night, and it seems that there was a northerly wind. Today seems to be a little colder than the previous few days..." Li Changgeng, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was also very puzzled. Did the emperor chat with him?make fun of?This is really strange, could it be that when the emperor saw him, he was so bored that he dismissed him by talking about the weather?
Han Yu was even more embarrassing, Li Changgeng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, answered almost exactly the same as him.

"That's right! It's indeed colder today than before..." Yang Reform said that vaguely.

Han Yu and Li Changgeng were puzzled.

"The purpose of calling the two Qing families here today is to solve some problems. The large and small ditches in the capital have not been repaired for many years. Now, those that need to be repaired need to be repaired, and what should be done..." Yang Reform did not come forward. He was entangled in one issue, but directly talked about the next issue. As for the previous issue, Yang Reform deliberately did not discuss it, and was going to let the ministers think for themselves. Sometimes, it is more effective to let the people below guess than to directly explain it.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is true that there has been no overhaul for many years..." Han Yu continued and said.

"...Reporting to Your Majesty, but the outer city should also be repaired?" The Minister of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly asked. In the past, the inner city was mainly repaired, but last time the emperor said that even the outer city should be considered. Li Changgeng, Minister of the Ministry, was not sure if the emperor wanted to build the outer city as well. If the outer city was also taken into consideration, then this project was not a small one.

"Yes, including the outer city, the big and small ditches should be paved together. They are all capital cities. Although there are differences between the inside and the outside, it shouldn't be so big..." Yang Reform said, Yang Reform now needs a huge number of jobs Let's get through this winter first. Next year, the development of Liaodong will start, and the employment pressure will be shared. I don't think the pressure will be as big as this year. After the employment channels in Liaodong are completed, they can be solved continuously. As for the employment problem, the capital can be regarded as a springboard and a storage container.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I understand that this minister has already prepared a plan..." The Minister of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly agreed. After the emperor ordered him to come down last time, he was not idle, but he did do a lot of research according to the emperor's instructions. The line, where the big canal should be built, where the dark ditch should be built, are all ready, and I am even more secretly happy. It seems that the emperor is going to make a big move. With so many projects, there is a lot of money passed by, not to mention taking How much, just a little bit is enough, under the eyes of the emperor, he did not dare to touch too much, the emperor is not easy to fool.

"Okay, not bad!" Yang Reform praised him.

"...Uh, I dare to ask Your Majesty, but as usual, labor labor is conscripted?" Li Changgeng, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, seemed to think of something, and asked. Originally, there was no need to ask about this matter. In the past, labor was conscripted, and then the court gave With some money, it can be overhauled, but today, Li Changgeng suddenly thought of something, and suddenly asked this question.

"No, this year there will be no forced labor, just recruit workers and pay according to the work..." Yang Reform said seriously.

"...Uh...Your Majesty, if this is the case, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money!..." Li Changgeng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was a little surprised. He asked such a question without thinking. Really don't plan to use labor and pay wages?This project is really big!Li Changgeng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, suddenly became anxious.

"It's okay, I'll figure out a way for money..." Yang Reform said.

"Report to Your Majesty! I understand..." Li Changgeng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, agreed.

"The purpose of summoning the two Qings today is to determine the projects in these places, and start the construction as soon as possible. These projects have a lot to do with each other. My idea is that Mr. Han Ge will take the lead and be in charge of the overall work. For supervision and supervision, Li Qing's family will be the deputy of Mr. Han Ge to assist in these projects..." Yang Reform said.Yang Reform still decided to hand over the project construction to Han Yu. As for the pros and cons of this matter, Yang Reform also thought about it clearly. Yang Reform is gradually solidifying the content of cabinet management. Each cabinet minister is mainly responsible for One piece, in order to reduce my pressure, the days of correcting notebooks and homework every day have to go on for such a long time, it is really boring enough, Yang Reform had to try to find a way to reduce his labor intensity; It is unrealistic to think that everyone is a ****. The problems of corruption and corruption are impossible to do well because of one's own wishful thinking. If the money is allocated, it will definitely attract countless wolves. It's good to leave it to Han Yu, his group of people will definitely reach out, if he doesn't reach out, it's simply the rebirth of the Hai Rui group in the Ming Dynasty. Since he can reach out, he must get a lot of people. In the confrontation with civil servants, not many people were actually killed, which can be regarded as quite peaceful. This kind of peace was very important and necessary for Yang's reform at that time. It could stabilize people's hearts and stabilize the political situation. It plays a role in alleviating social unrest and can maintain a good reputation for itself.

However, the consequences are quite obvious. Today, there are still a large number of Donglin party members occupying middle and high-level positions. From the perspective of Yang Reform, it is impossible for this group of people to occupy so many positions. It is not good for him. Jinshi class It has already achieved something. This year and next two years, many members of the Jinshi class will be promoted, and there will be more members of the Jinshi class who will be promoted in the future. Based on the current principle of one carrot and one hole in the Ming Dynasty, we must give this group Scholars have made room for improvement, so Yang Reform thinks that it is necessary to eliminate some people from the Donglin Party, which occupies the middle and high levels. Gaining reputation and affecting harmony is not Yang Reform's routine. Yang Reform thinks that Han Yu can be assigned to these huge lucrative projects, which may play a role in this.

The greed of the Yidonglin party people has no reason for everyone to be possessed by Hai Rui. If this is the case, there will be corruption. I stumbled on this.Although handing over such a fat piece to Han Yu is a great preferential treatment for Han Yu. It seems a bit silly, but in reality, this thing is more like an official's falling horse. With the increase of projects, more and more Donglin Party members will be dismissed, but it just happens to make room for the gradually growing Jinshi class members.

Yang Reform has considered this matter for a long time. The advantages of this matter are these, which are quite attractive. Of course, there are also disadvantages. Since the project is corrupt, there must be a tofu project. How to avoid the tofu project? Dismounting the Donglin Party is really a difficult choice.

Yang Reform thought about it, thought about it, and felt that he could only work on Cao Yubian. No, it is not Cao Yubian now, but Cao Yubian's successor, Chen Yuting. Since cats will definitely steal fish, It will definitely be fishy, ​​so put a dog behind the cat, which seems to be just right.However, what makes Yang Reform depressed is that it seems that Chen Yuting is not so qualified now, and he doesn't seem to have much combat effectiveness, so he has to be trained well.

Han Yu was quite surprised. The emperor actually entrusted him with the project construction, but it was really beyond his expectation. Each of the cabinet ministers was responsible for one piece. This trend seems to have become more and more serious. Obviously, each cabinet minister has his own main management. Sun Chengzong is in charge of military affairs, Xu Guangqi is in charge of immigration, and Shi Fenglai is in charge of the overall promotion of sweet potatoes, and he is actually assigned to engineering. It's really fat enough. Judging from the current project volume, this is really a job that can't be fatter. At this time, Han Yu really felt that the emperor treated him well. The face is full of joy.

Li Changgeng, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, had a depressed expression on his face. He thought that the emperor had called him here to inquire about repairing the ditches. Mother-in-law, Mr. Han Ge has taken such a hand. Mr. Han Ge is a member of the Donglin Party, but he is not, so what else can he get?Thinking about it again, it seems that some time ago, Mr. Han Ge helped the boss of the emperor. It is inevitable that His Majesty will appease and take care of him... Li Changgeng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, is full of dissatisfaction, but there is no way. The emperor made a decision with one word. It is really difficult to overthrow the emperor's decision or make the emperor change his mind. Li Changgeng felt that he was not that capable. His majesty is kind, but he must not be fooled.

"I obey the order!" Han Yu happily agreed, thinking, it seems that the emperor really intends to give him the project construction, and he said in his heart that he did not follow the emperor in vain.

"I obey the order!" Li Changgeng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, agreed with a straight face. In his heart, it was called unlucky, and there was such a mess.

"Okay, the two Qing families, let's stop here. After the two Qing families go back, think carefully about what I said today, and strive to submit the note to me as soon as possible, and I will reply as soon as possible, so that work can start as soon as possible. , understand?" Yang Reform said.

"I obey the order!" Han Yu replied beautifully. Previously, it was just a matter of repairing lighthouses, plus the less reliable matter of building ports. Now, this job is really fat enough. Counting it into this, the part he manages is really too fat to be fatter.

"Minister Zunzhi!" Li Changgeng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was still stern. To put it bluntly, the emperor is indeed a "good man".

……

After sending away Han Yu and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Yang Reform did not stop and had to continue meeting people.

"Your Majesty, Bi Shangshu has arrived." Wang Chengen reported.

"See you!" Yang Reform drank a cup of tea, cleared his throat and said.

"Your servant obeys the order." Wang Chengen agreed.

Bi Ziyan was summoned by the emperor, and he arrived soon. However, unlike usual, he waited for a long time.

"Your Majesty, I will join you!" Bi Ziyan saluted.

"Forget it..." Yang Reform said, the issue of employment is not over yet, and we have to continue to deal with it. The matter of Han Yu is just incidental.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Bi Ziyan replied.

"It rained last night, did the Qing family feel it?" Yang Reform asked his confidant imperial party again with a smile. This was the third time Yang Reform asked this question.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is indeed a rain, and it is not too small, and the north wind is blowing. Today is much colder than the previous few days..." Bi Ziyan replied seriously.

Wang Chengen, who was on the side, couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and even laughed out loud.

Seeing that Wang Chengen couldn't help laughing, Yang Reform also laughed himself. It doesn't matter if he jokes with his confidant imperial party.

Bi Ziyan Zhang Er King Kong can't figure it out, why did Wang Chengen laugh at him?Even the emperor laughed at him, what happened?Did he say something wrong?It seems not!Didn't it rain last night?Is he dreaming?But absolutely not!When he got up this morning, it was still wet outside.

"Hehehe... It's indeed raining. Does the Qing family feel anything? Or, did the Qing family think of anything?" Yang Reform enlightened Bi Ziyan. For the confidants of the imperial party and ordinary people, this is completely different. .

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I did feel the wind and rain, and today is indeed a lot colder than the previous few days..." Bi Ziyan said seriously, he firmly believed and confirmed that he was not dreaming.

"One leaf knows the autumn, has the Qing family heard of this saying?" Yang Huaqiang explained.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have heard about it..." Bi Ziyan replied seriously.

"Have you ever heard of Yiye Zhidong from the Qing family?" Yang Reform asked with a smile, he could use some tricks to treat other people, and let his words become a burden on them. You have to tell him what happened.

"One Leaf Zhidong?...This...report to His Majesty, I have never heard of it..." Bi Ziyan was an honest person, and immediately said that he had never heard of it.

"Autumn is here, can winter be far behind? This winter, hundreds of thousands of people gathered near the capital city to beg for a living. What is the Qing family going to do with it? How will they let them survive this winter?" Yang Reform didn't talk too much, just said The reason why something happened.
