"I will accept the order!"

Zhou Yuji accepted the emperor's will to go to Nanzhili to serve as the patrol battalion.

This was still a bit unacceptable for him. He did not expect that he would be directly expelled from the warship sequence of Guard Town.

"Hey! Why not be directly demoted to war soldiers like Guo Mu and the others, at least they can go to battle and kill the enemy."

Zhou Yuji sighed and started to complain.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng appeared in front of him and said, "You don't have to sigh, the emperor has a deep meaning to do this."

Zhou Yuji glanced at Lu Xiangsheng and said nothing.

At this time, Zhou Yuji's direct tutor Wu Dazhu couldn't help but shout: "General!"

"What general, call me to guard!"

Zhou Yuji said something and left the camp of the First Infantry Battalion of the Kinggu Town.

Next.

Zhou Yuji had to pack up his things and go to Nanjing to take office.

Lu Xiangsheng was appointed as the acting guerrilla by Zhu Youxiao, and continued to serve as the general instructor of the First Battalion.

Zhu Youxiao did this with deep meaning. The purpose was to send a reliable general to the Nanzhili patrol battalion first to play the role of the patrol battalion in Nanzhili.

...

"Duke Guang, have you read the report from the mansion? Duke Yuan has been in Liaodong for less than half a year and directly captured tens of thousands of captive chiefs, recovered Tieling, Kaiyuan and other places!"

Baoding Prefect Huang Zunyi said to Guang Shiheng.

Guang Shiheng nodded: "Of course I saw it. When Xiong Tingbi was appointed as the General Secretary, it was not said that the enemy was in great difficulty, and the government troops were unable to work together. Sending a large army to actively fight against the suppression would only lead to the defeat of Sarhu again? Why did Yuan Gongren and Jingliu go against the rules and directly send a large army to fight against the enemy, but it was fine, and even won a great victory and beheaded ten thousand levels. Is this comparable to Xiong Tingbi's achievements when he was appointed as the General Secretary?"

"No, it's obvious that Yuan Dalai (Yuan Yingtai) Yuan Gong's strategy was obviously right. Our Ming Dynasty, Liaodong, had many soldiers and generals, and the elite border troops reached 200,000. If we take the initiative to suppress the Eastern Captains, we will be unstoppable and pacified the thieves in Jianzhou! But, the court only believed Xiong Tingbi's words because the thieves in the front line controlled the court and feared the enemy like a tiger. So the new Yuan Jingluo took the initiative to attack, which made our official army win a great victory. Unfortunately, Yuan Gong was a very strategic person, but now he can only build water conservancy in Shaanxi!"

Huang Zunyi sighed.

Kwang Shigee sighed as well.

Two local civil servants who do not understand military affairs, like many officials in the court who were dissatisfied with the government affairs, made different remarks based on the incident in Liaodong this time.

...

"I heard that now there are people in and outside the court and the country who are now starting to discuss again, saying that Xiong Tingbi can do something bad, and that those who were punished for impeaching Xiong Tingbi were not wrong, and they even started to speak up for him. Why, according to their meaning, did I not know what I knew at the beginning?"

Because of this remark, Zhu Youxiao specially talked about this matter in the newly established Privy Council of the newly established Five Army Governor's Office.

Zhu Youxiao said without anger, saying, "It's simply nonsense! The situation of Liaodong when Yuan Keli was appointed as the governor and Liaodong when Xiong Tingbi was appointed as the governor was different. Can this be the same? It can be said that without Xiong Tingbi's accumulation of small victories to destroy the power of the Eastern Captains, there would be no basis for Yuan Keli to win a great victory at this time. So, Xiong Aiqing, but please rest assured, I will not question your ability."

"I am ashamed of Your Majesty's trust. Your Majesty knows the kindness of your encounter. I will never repay you if you die!"

Xiong Tingbi, who attended the court discussion, replied with emotion and knelt down in front of Zhu Youxiao.

"Your dear, don't have to do this. Get up quickly. It's not too late to give me a great gift when I finish speaking."

Zhu Youzhai general waved his sleeves and once again showed his majestic attitude to Fang Congzhe, the chief minister of the cabinet and the auxiliary minister of the Political Affairs Hall who also attended the court meeting, ordered: "Issue that the Minister of War Xiong Tingbi, the Minister of War, was a meritorious in the military affairs, and knew the military affairs, and had a noble character, and had a straight name. Therefore, he entered the cabinet and served as the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace, and was still in charge of the Ministry of War. At the same time, the auxiliary Han Dynasty went straight to the Political Affairs Hall as the auxiliary minister. Yuan Fu was renamed the Chief Minister of the Political Affairs Hall!"

"I obey the order!"

Fang Congzhe replied.

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Xiong Tingbi gave a big gift again.

Wang Xianggan has applied for retirement because he is too old, and Zhu Youxiao did not let him go home to retire. Instead, he and Li Ruhua stayed in the capital as a consultant and teacher at a glance.

As for letting Xiong Tingbi enter the cabinet and enter the Political Affairs Hall, it was another measure by Zhu Youxiao to allow officials with local government and military experience to enter the core decision-making level of the Ming Dynasty. Xiong Tingbi naturally replaced Wang Xianggan.

Zhu Youxiao also asked Han to enter the Political Affairs Hall, because Han Yu was quite tactful. As the emperor, he was naturally willing to see officials standing on his side with tactfulness. He was not afraid of officials being tactful, but feared that some officials were not tactful.

Han Yu got his wish and entered the Political Affairs Hall.

He was still not really satisfied because he had to admit that he seemed not qualified to enter the inner court in a sedan chair.

Therefore, based on his previous experience, Han Yu decided to continue to act honestly with the emperor's intentions, speak less, nod more, and do things. Silence is gold.

...

"The investigation of the Institute of Metrology found that the profits of the Cotton Yarn Bureau and the Weaving Bureau are still rising, and the supply demand is still increasing. Because foreign merchant ships who went to Japan and other places to buy cotton cloth still turned to Songjiang for purchases, but this also led to insufficient workers in our official cotton Yarn Bureau and weaving layout. In addition, the manufacturing industry in Tianjin also has a serious shortage of workers, and there are also a large gap in raw materials such as cotton yarn and raw silk. Therefore, to increase the revenue of the imperial court's treasury, we must start from these two aspects. I wonder what the public has to think about it?"

Fang Congzhe was instructed by Zhu Youxiao to convene an internal affairs court meeting with the cabinet and the Great Jiuqing, mainly to prepare for the subsequent internal affairs reform.

Therefore, Fang Congzhe took the initiative to speak out this time.

The Institute of Metrology mentioned by Fang Congzhe is a newly established institution responsible for counting various types of data by Zhu Youxiao.

After all, a country's internal domination requires a lot of data as a reference.

"If there are insufficient workers, more people need to enter the factory. The following officials see that the first thing to be affected is to strictly restrict the excessive slavery of the powerful and noble gentry and wealthy businessmen. It must be investigated strictly! They are prohibited from over-slaughtering, so that more people who have been slaves can restore their national status and thus enter the factory to support themselves! In addition, it is to depose the lowly family and allow some fishermen to enter the factory to make a living."

Bi Ziyan, who has become the Minister of Revenue, said at this time that he had been in charge of manufacturing in Tianjin and turned refugees into workers. Therefore, he knew best what other people who lost their land had belonged to them besides refugees. According to his investigation, he found that it was nothing more than just a slave.

"The matter of clearing the land of Zhangzhang must be implemented as soon as possible. As long as a large number of unowned fields are found out and the imperial dynasty is in the form of imperial dynasty, it can be used to organize the people to grow cotton and mulberry leaves. After all, if the land with the land with the land with the land with the land, the land without the land should be used to solve the shortcomings of cotton and raw silk. When the land with the land is insufficient in the future, it will be used to grow grain. In short, the court must need a batch of public fields for dispatch."

Wang Yingjiao, the governor of the West Factory, was given some ideas mentioned by Zhu Youxiao in the Holy Tribute of the Emperor Ming Dynasty, and proposed the concept of clearing the land in the world as soon as possible. Of course, as the governor of the West Factory, he was responsible for collecting taxes and also hoped to clear the land in the middle of the week as soon as possible so as to continue to attack the big tax-owed households.

"Extremely!"

Han Du expressed his approval, but he was a little concise.

“No objection.”

Sun Ruyou also replied.

Fang Congzhe saw this and said, "Okay, then I will ask you all to join memorials and advise Your Majesty. You should immediately clear the land in the world and strictly investigate the phenomenon of excessive slavery."

The court's proposal went smoothly.

Because these people participated in the investment of the Cotton Yarn Bureau and the Weaving Bureau, they knew that if the profits of the Cotton Yarn Bureau and the Weaving Bureau were increased, the profits would be much greater than the losses caused by clearing the fields. Therefore, these people took the initiative to propose such reforms, which was equivalent to driving the slaves of the powerful and noble gentry into the factory, and also taking over the fields concentrated in the hands of the powerful and noble gentry to produce the raw materials they needed.
