Jiajing really appreciates Yang Cong at this moment. At least the "Theory of Investigating Things and Learning" compiled by Yang Cong is very good. Moreover, Yang Cong is very honest. When it comes to the issue of salt induced, he did not avoid it, but honestly expressed his thoughts.

This kid is a good talent and can be trained well.

As for how to cultivate it, Jiajing already had a preliminary idea in his mind.

He even decided to use Yang Cong to deal with the Tartars!

The Tartars' problems have troubled him for so many years, and he really can't stand it anymore. The solution that Yang Cong came up with should be the best solution to deal with the Tartars. If Yang Cong said, equip the elite border troops with firearms and chariots, it would be possible to solve the Tartars' problems within three to five years.

He was tired of the courtiers playing tricks on his lips, and he was ready to use newcomers, and the most capable among newcomers should be this Yang Cong, at least he thinks so now.

The reason why he inspected Yang Cong in person was also due to this consideration.

Yang Cong's performance has been recognized by him, and coupled with Lu Ling'er's relationship, he has strengthened his determination to cultivate Yang Cong.

So, how to train Yang Cong to deal with the Tartars?

It is definitely unrealistic to directly promote Yang Cong to the Minister of War or the Governor. Although he likes to promote the talents he values ​​at a rocket-like speed, there is a prerequisite for promotion, that is, achievements.

This is how Jiajing is. As long as he thinks you are talented, your chance will come. However, if you want to be promoted, you still have to make achievements. Without any achievements, it is impossible for him to promote randomly.

Yang Cong has made some achievements now. At least the compilation of "Theory of Understanding and Knowing" is very good. If he can really compile a set of masterpieces similar to the "Yongle Encyclopedia", he will be praised by future generations.

How should we improve this achievement?

At this time, he thought of Xie Jin, the editor-in-chief of "Yongle Encyclopedia". Before compiling the "Yongle Encyclopedia", Xie Jin seemed to be just a ninth-rank Hanlin Academy attendant. Later, he compiled the "Yongle Encyclopedia" and achieved certain results. He was soon promoted to the Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy attendant.

At this moment, Yang Cong has compiled the Hanlin Academy, a sixth-rank Hanlin Academy, and has also made certain achievements in compiling "Theory of Understanding and Knowledge". It should be no problem to be promoted to the Hanlin Academy as a fifth-rank Hanlin Academy. In addition, he also wanted to train Yang Cong to deal with the Tartars. It is impossible for the Hanlin Academy officials to be transferred to deal with the Tartars. Generally, those transferred to deal with the Tartars are the Censors of the Censors, the Right Censors of the Ministry of War, or the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War. At this moment, Yang Cong's rank is not enough to serve as the Right Censors of the Censors. It is almost the same to be a Censor in a border town.

Thinking of this, Jiajing suddenly asked again: "Qingfeng, do you dare to go to the border town to command the army to fight the Tartars."

Death, Yang Cong really never thought about this problem.

It’s not that he doesn’t have the courage, but his official title is really nothing to do with commanding the army to fight. How could the editor of the Hanlin Academy commander command the army to fight?

When Jiajing asked this, he suddenly became excited. This emperor was famously willful. Promoting officials was like a lunatic. As long as he was in his eyes, he would dare to promote any official!

Command the army to fight against the Tartars, okay, as long as you dare to promote me, I will dare to go!

In fact, there is not much danger for civil servants to command large troops to fight. Unless their strength is particularly disparate and they are surrounded by people and are desperate, civil servants are unlikely to die in battle. Moreover, when you come to the scene, you can also experiment with the feasibility of military tactics and the power of gunpowder weapons. It has great benefits for the formation of military tactics and the improvement of gunpowder weapons. In addition, obtaining military merits is a shortcut to promotion. As long as you make some achievements, the official position will rise slowly.

Go, whoever is afraid of whom? In front of hot weapons, the Tartar cavalry is just a dish.

Thinking of this, he said without hesitation: "Weichen also wants to contribute to the country, but the position of Weichen is really not suitable to command the army to fight."

Jiajing nodded with relief and said, "As long as you have this intention, I can give you a censor and go to the border town to inspect. Not to mention six border towns, you still have the right to command the army of one border town. How about it, which border town do you think is the best to go to."

This guy really dares to promote someone randomly!

Yang Cong thought about it carefully, and then said excitedly: "Your Majesty, why not just Xuanfu, as Xuanfu is closest to the capital, it is most convenient to dispatch craftsmen. Moreover, among the three towns in Shanxi, Xuanfu Town is most likely to be attacked by Tartars. Weichen thinks that Xuanfu can now set up an arsenal to produce muskets, artillery, sky-bombing thunder and fire dragon chariots. When the border troops of Xuanfu Town are all equipped, they will promote them to other border towns. In this way, there will be no problem with weapons and equipment."

Jiajing nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, I will give you the title of Censor of the Censorate, the inspector of Xuanfu, and is responsible for dealing with the Tartar cavalry."

Yang Cong hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you for your grace, the emperor."

Jiajing then asked again: "You guess how many people need to compile this "Theory of Investigating Things and Learning" and how long will it take to compile it?"

Yang Cong was really unsure. Who knew how long he would fight against the Tartars? In three or five years, he might only be able to fully equipped the 60,000 elite troops in the border army. As for going deep into the grassland to drive the Tartars out of the frontier, he didn’t know how long it would take. Moreover, "Theory of Investigating Things and Knowing" is not only "The Five Elements", "The Art of War" and "The Equipment", but also how to deal with the Tartars, but also has a lot of content. It is very time-consuming to compile.

He thought about it carefully before bowing: "The emperor forgives his crimes. I want to concentrate on dealing with the Tartars first. This "Theory of Investigating Things and Learning" may be slow to compilation. Perhaps it will take several years after the fight against the Tartars."

After hearing this, Jiajing pondered for a while, then nodded slowly and said, "Well, dealing with the Tartars is indeed the top priority at present. As for the compilation of "Theory of Understanding and Knowing", it doesn't matter if you take it slowly. Otherwise, you can organize some people to compile it slowly. After you get rid of the Tartars, you will concentrate and compile it with all your energy. I can assign some to you now if you have any people you like."

Yang Cong, the editor, had already figured it out, and he said without hesitation: "When Weichen was compiling, Luo Hongxian, the Hanlin Academy's attendant, Tang Shunzhi, Zhao Shichun, and Wang Xuan, the head of the Ministry of Works, all gave Weichen a lot of help. Otherwise, these are just a few, Master, do you think it's okay?"

Jiajing nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, just a few of them, I will promote you to be a bachelor's degree in Hanlin Academy and be responsible for compiling "Theory of Investigating Things and Learning Knowledge."

I was so excited that I was promoted twice at once, and the promotion speed was indeed fast.

Yang Cong was excited, and Jiajing suddenly thought that this guy was his prospective brother-in-law. If something happened to the Xuanfu patrol, then Lu Ling'er would have become a widow!

He thought for a while and simply said, "You may encounter Tartar cavalry at any time when you go to Xuanfu's patrol. With the existing troops in Xuanfu, it may be difficult to resist the invasion of Tartar cavalry. So, I will send you a thousand elite troops in Shenji camps and a hundred Jinyiwei to protect you."
