Chapter 670 Homework
Chen Yuting's unexpected words in the Wenhua Palace were indeed quite surprising.Yang Reform felt that this could be seen as a change in the Ming Dynasty scholar-officials' style of speaking from benevolence, righteousness and morality to striving for practical benefits?
No one had ever talked about interests with him so openly before, or the interests of the country. This is really the sun coming out from the west.These words, this kind of change came from a "Donglin Party", this incident was even more surprising, and even said that the jaw dropped.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that if Chen Yuting can't say these words, there must be someone behind him, and anyone who is familiar with the movement of the court can roughly guess who this person is..., who else can be besides Cao Yubian?
What caused Cao Yubian, a former "senior official" of the Donglin Party, to change so drastically, from only considering the interests of the Donglin Party; from only considering private interests to talking about national interests nakedly?Yang Reform was surprised by this, and this was also what made him playful. He couldn't help looking at Han Yu, probably because he really answered the sentence, "Love is true, hate is deep." Complicated, it may not be that Cao Yubian really has such a high vision; it may not be that he really has such a big mind; The "love" and "hate" of Han Yu's gang.

Yang Reform was a little ashamed. He didn't expect that such a dramatic scene would appear in this stagnant court situation. He originally planned to let Cao Yubian play the role of the villain. Unexpectedly, Cao Yubian There will be such a big change, a Ming Dynasty scholar-official elite who talked about naked interests?Is this the result of your own "transformation"?Yang Reform was ashamed, the image of Cao Yubian in his mind was completely subverted.

Such a surprising and unexpected incident happened in the court. Not only did Yang Reform lose his mind to deal with today's government affairs, but even the ministers didn't have the mind to hold small court discussions. The small court meeting was dismissed in a hurry.

After Yang Reform came out of the Wenhua Palace, he immediately said to Wang Chengen, "Big companion, please invite Master Sun." The first thing Yang Reform did was to discuss with Sun Chengzong. The weight is definitely not light, and it can even be said that it is a thick stroke. Today's surprising and surprising words have injected a fresh air into this gradually flat court situation, which will definitely have a long-term impact.It will have an immeasurable impact on the pattern and trends of the court, and even the speech of the scholar-bureaucrats. This seemingly accidental event may even usher in a certain era.

Sun Chengzong arrived soon, and he also looked surprised.

"Master Sun, today's court meeting is really a little unexpected..." Yang Reform said.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is really surprising. It is really unimaginable that Cao Ziliang would have such a big change. This seems to be a precedent..." Sun Chengzong immediately understood the meaning of the emperor, and immediately said what he thought of out.

"That's right! Chen Yuting can't say these words, and only Cao Yubian can say such words. Cao Yubian's words like this are indeed the first of our kind!... A word of wisdom, A precedent for profit-seeking..." At this point in Yang's reform, he still doesn't believe that this is true. A scholar-bureaucrat elite of the Ming Dynasty who talked about and pursued profits for the country is also a former high-ranking official of the Donglin Party. Things have developed to this point. , it is incredible.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, yes..." Sun Chengzong was also very ashamed. He was actually a talker, but at most he discussed with the emperor in private, and said in private that he never said anything in court or in front of outsiders. Said, but today, Chen Yuting blatantly described the pursuit of profit in the court hall, and Sun Chengzong felt ashamed when he thought of the difference.

"...Uh, it's unimaginable. I didn't expect things to develop to this point..." Yang Reform still doesn't believe this is true. With benefits on the lips, Yang Reform was about to jump up and laugh.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the reason for this is very complicated..." Sun Chengzong answered with a strange expression.

Hearing this, Yang Reform had a strange expression on his face. The reason for this, the high-level people in the Ming Dynasty probably understood that the "love enmity" between Han Yu and Cao Yubian was really deep.

Sun Chengzong looked at the emperor strangely. This matter was completely messed up by the emperor. If the emperor hadn't given Cao Yubian a secret box, the matter might not have come to where it is today. Cao Yubian, who lost everything I'm afraid I will accept my fate, I won't be involved in the battles in the court, and I don't have that ability anymore, but the emperor intervened in it and fiddled with a secret box, I'm afraid Cao Yubian, who is in his dying years, will also "look away" There are many things, so there will be such a drastic change in thinking, and he will continue to "entangle" with Han Yu in another posture.

Yang Reform also looked at Sun Chengzong strangely, and he really didn't blame himself for this matter.

"Hey... well, let's not talk about this matter for now. I think that such a drastic change in Cao Yubian may not be a bad thing. I hope that the courtiers can speak well..." Yang Reform said.Calling Sun Chengzong here is not only for this matter, but also for more important things to say.

"...Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Chengzong replied, he had always only talked about his interests in secret, but now he speaks about his interests openly and openly... Maybe this is a good thing.

"Chen Yuting's mortgage loan matter, I think it may be good, but we can adjust the strategy against Lin Danhan a little bit, no longer give him for nothing, let him exchange the corresponding materials, if not, mortgage, borrow, just As Chen Yuting said, as long as it can be said, Lin Danhan is willing to take it out as a mortgage. I will ask for it, and I will give it for free, and I will also give it for nothing. It is better to have a mortgage than nothing. If you borrow it today, you will borrow it tomorrow. Let Lin Danhan return the capital with interest, what does Master Sun think?" Yang Reform said.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I fully support it. This adjustment is more suitable for Your Majesty's strategy." Sun Chengzong replied immediately without thinking about it. Sun Chengzong had already considered this matter clearly.

"Okay! Since Master Sun also thinks there is no problem, then I will let Liu Jishan implement a new strategy..." Yang Reform smiled and got a big harvest unexpectedly today.

"...By the way, big companion, please inform Fan Weicheng to let his mansion report what Chen Yuting said today about the New Year Coin Alliance in the mansion newspaper, and guide Lin Danhan about asking for a mortgage. For mortgages and debts, we need correct guidance, and we can follow this for anything in the future..." Yang Reform thought for a while, and then said to Wang Cheng'en that debts and mortgages finally entered the Ming Dynasty. From the perspective of the scholar-official elite, this is undoubtedly a good thing, and it is much more beneficial than talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality.

"But...Your Majesty, those words are insulting to His Majesty's reputation..." Wang Chengen didn't agree immediately, but frowned.

"It's okay, it's nothing, it's a good thing, and my big companion will do it, Liu Jishan is still waiting for this mansion to report, hehehe..." Yang Reform laughed, the alliance of old coins seemed to have some influence on him, However, Yang Reform didn't care, it was better to face these things head-on than to cover them up.Although it is a bit hurtful to myself, although the policy towards Lin Danhan has been repeated, it is worthwhile to cultivate the enthusiasm of the Ming Dynasty scholar-bureaucrats.

"Slaves obey the order!" Seeing the emperor's insistence, Wang Chengen didn't say anything more.

……

Like the emperor, the ministers who have been in the court meeting are also quite surprised and surprised by today's incident. The former chief constitution of the Ming Dynasty borrowed the mouth of the current chief constitution of the Ming Dynasty to talk nakedly about profit and mortgage in the court hall. Talking about borrowing money, this incident brought a strange atmosphere to the Ming Dynasty.

When the ministers stepped down from the court, discussions immediately started in twos and threes, and the news immediately scattered. There is one more thing besides profit-seeking, debts and mortgages, that is, although Cao Yubian has stepped down, he still has considerable influence on the court. Li, the entanglement between Han and Cao is probably not over yet. Now Han Yu seems to be still tough, while Cao Yubian seems to be in his dying years, and time is not long. I am afraid that he will be more "sharp" when he does things. The fight between the two will definitely be a good show to watch, and many ministers are holding the attitude of watching the good show, and want to see how this matter develops.

……

platform.

Yuan Chonghuan came directly to the platform after he left the Xiaochaoyi. After he took office as Minister of the Ministry of War, in addition to handling the official affairs of the Ministry of War, he had to spend a considerable amount of time every day on the platform to participate in various deduction and discussions on the northern war. Commander, the current minister of the Ministry of War, he must participate in this matter.

Although Yuan Chonghuan is the minister of the Ministry of War, he is also quite modest and cautious.Even if he is the minister of the Ministry of War, he is only a part of the battle of thousands of miles in the north. Looking at the whole war in the north from the perspective of the overall situation, Yuan Chonghuan really doesn't have much confidence. He knows that he must study carefully and fight as soon as possible To understand the situation, so, every day, I must go to the platform to participate in the discussion and deduction of the war in the north.

"Your Majesty is here!..." With a long shout, the people on the platform immediately stood at attention, ready to welcome the emperor.

After talking with Sun Chengzong, Yang Reform came to the platform again.

Yuan Chonghuan also stood at attention, waiting for the arrival of the emperor.

Yang Reform waved his hand slightly as a return gift.

People on the platform are still busy with their own work.

Yuan Chonghuan, Qin Liangyu, and Man Gui, who were deducing and demonstrating the northern war on the platform, all gathered around to welcome the emperor.

Yang Reform went straight to his position.

"I have some good news for you today..." Yang Reform said.

Several people saw the good news from the emperor, and they all waited for the emperor to see what the good news was.

Yang Reform scanned the people in front of him, and set his sights on Yuan Chonghuan. Today's matter may be related to Yuan Chonghuan.

"...The matter of the Ryukyu country in the south has already taken shape. If there are no accidents, the good news will come back soon..." Yang Reform revealed the news.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty..." Everyone quickly congratulated, helping the vassal state to restore the country is also an achievement, but it is worthy of congratulations to the emperor.

"Hehe, congratulations are unnecessary. The Ryukyu Kingdom is only as big as a county. Helping him restore the country is not a big deal..." Yang Reform said, although he said it was nothing special, he was still very proud of it in his heart , Chongzhen in history didn't even have the ability to help Ryukyu restore the country, and he was much better than him.

"...Originally, when you are facing the war in the north, you should put all your thoughts on it. I shouldn't talk about this matter, so as not to break the hearts of your family. However, since I have encountered this matter, I will mention it. Just mentioning..." Yang Reform said.

Several other people looked at the emperor in puzzlement, not knowing what the emperor was going to say, only Sun Chengzong knew what the emperor was going to say.

"...I have helped restore Ryukyu to the country. Next, we have to deal with the counterattack and harassment from the Wa Kingdom. I want to ask, what is my strategy to deal with the Wa Kingdom? Also, in the future, I may go south and rebuild Jiaozhi. The chief envoy, then, how should we face the current Jiaozhi, and even the farther Nanyang, Xiyang, and even more distant places..." Yang Reform said.

Several people looked at the emperor in surprise.

"...As I said just now, this matter should not have been brought up, so as not to divide the hearts of your family, but it happened to meet again, so I will just use this matter to test you and see What is your strategy for dealing with Japan, Nanyang, Western Ocean, and even further places? After the Qing family returns, write down the strategy in their minds. I will give the Qing family three days, and I will see it after three days. ..." Yang Reform assigned homework.

"I will obey the order!" Yuan Chonghuan, Qin Liangyu and Man Gui were all surprised. Why did the emperor suddenly want to test them?
Yang Reform looked at Sun Chengzong, who had a calm expression on his face.

"...This matter is considered a small adjustment. The Qing family still have to focus on the war in the north..." Yang Reform said again.

"The minister waits to obey the order!" Several people agreed again.

Liaodong.

Kam Ning.

As soon as Hong Chengchou, the new governor of Liaodong, took office, he met his subordinates one by one, trying to get familiar with and adapt to here as soon as possible.

Having met many generals, large and small, Hong Chengchou has a basic understanding of the situation in Liaodong.

Originally, after seeing these generals, big and small, it was over. As far as Hong Chengchou knew, there was still a special team active on the Liaodong battlefield. On the east side, they made great efforts to fight "scout warfare" on the Liaodong battlefield, and they were quite active. These are those "bounty hunters".

Hong Chengchou became curious about these people. Hong Chengchou also had some understanding of the origins of these people. Most of them came from inside and outside the pass to try their luck. The rewards here are quite high. If you are lucky, you may be able to go home and buy them With a few acres of land, it is no problem to be a well-off family, so there are quite a lot of people who go outside the pass to be bounty hunters.

Today, Hong Chengchou specially interviewed a well-known team in this industry, and prepared to learn more about this special team.This is a well-known bounty hunter team, the leader is called Yang Liu.

Hong Chengchou has always paid great attention to doing enough homework.

"You mean, many of the people who come to Liaodong to do your business are from Shaanxi? Yulin, Fugu and other places are the most popular among them?" Hong Chengchou and Yang Liu came over politely and began to ask questions.

"Reporting to the governor, that's right." Yang Liu said a little excitedly. Yang Liu was still very excited to be interviewed by a high-ranking official like the governor. What's more, this person is said to be the emperor's man, and he even came from Shaanxi. , counting, there is also some friendship, so there is nothing to hide about Hong Chengchou's inquiry.

"Oh, so that's the case. According to my observation, you have made great efforts to block the Donglu. Have you ever thought about joining the army?" Hong Chengchou thought about it.

"Reporting to my lord, this matter is really unspeakable..." Yang Liu insisted on this issue. His background is a bit unusual, and he has considerable resistance to this formulation. He was also a member of the army back then. , is still a leader.Today's bounty hunters, many of them seek refuge under the officers and soldiers in order to seek protection from the officers and soldiers. This is the norm. It is rare to see a team of bounty hunters as big as them that can be independent.

"Oh, it's worth noting... By the way, if you don't join the army, where do the firearms and ammunition come from?" Hong Chengchou asked this on purpose. Now that military control is implemented outside the customs, it's not that civilians are not allowed to hold weapons. Instead, it supports or even requires everyone to hold weapons. Firearms and ammunition can be bought. Of course, there must be necessary proof. Not everyone can buy guns and ammunition, and different people can buy The weapons you get are also different.

"Reporting to my lord, the grassroots people buy their firearms and ammunition in the gun shop, which is indeed different from others. They can indeed buy things that ordinary people can't buy. Speaking of which, I borrowed the light of Master Shi..." Yang Liu also replied that it was accidental to get this special treatment that was different from ordinary people, and even benefited from Shi Kefa's reputation. A famous group of bounty hunters in Liaodong.

"Oh, Mr. Shi? But Mr. Shi Kefa?" Hong Chengchou asked. Hong Chengchou also knew something about the background of this team. Now asking is just to further confirm, or to show the relationship.He is an imperial party, and Shi Kefa is also an imperial party. The imperial party and the imperial party should take care of each other. What's more, Shi Kefa seems to be a person who is valued by the emperor. Now he is working with Xu Guangqi, and his future achievements will be limitless. He also needs to be good friends .

"Returning to my lord, it is precisely that we borrowed the light of Lord Shi to survive, and we were recommended by Lord Shi to come here to fight the Tartars in Liaodong. First, we came to make a living; Great kindness, to repay Lord Shi's kindness..." Yang Liu immediately moved Shi Kefa out, and now, Shi Kefa's card has gradually become their protective umbrella. Anyone who wants to touch them has to consider Shi Kefa's background. It is impossible to make a living in a place where there are many troops, and it is impossible not to find some quiet.

"Reckoning, Mr. Shi can be regarded as a colleague of Benfu. Back then, he was also an official in Shaanxi... thanks to Your Majesty's sage!" Hong Chengchou really wanted to take this team into his pocket, but Hong Chengchou What matters more is your own "homework".
