When Liu Jin saw Yang Ling's stunned look, he felt even more proud. To be honest, the treacherous minister was just an evaluation of what others did. The treacherous minister himself didn't think so. Why didn't Liu Jin want to do something? It's just...

Yang Ling took Liu Jin's thick memorial and opened it and took a look. It's not to mention that Liu Jin's memorial is definitely not as stinky and long as he is smearing around the bush. In the memorial, he pointed out that the court's organization was bloated, government orders were not implemented, and the use of power for personal gain, and violations of laws and regulations were very serious. In this way, he proposed reforms to address current problems.

For example, when appointing private individuals, the phenomenon of nepotism is extremely serious. The old system where officials do not serve in the original province has long been followed. After Zhengde ascended the throne, he reiterated the matter according to the suggestions of Liu Jin and Yang Ling and sent it to the Ministry of Personnel to implement it. Liu Jin was extremely proud of this measure. This time, the old remarks were recommended as a court rule as a system for assessing officials.

For example, the imperial court has not been very detailed in its investigation of local money and grain, which has led to a strange phenomenon: the Ming Dynasty's taxes are extremely light and the treasury income is very small, but the lower-level people are suffering. Because the imperial court's supervision is not effective, the lower-level exploitation is increased layer by layer. Therefore, Jin decided to change the temporary random inspection of money and grain in various places by officials of the Ministry of Revenue to a regular system, and the inspections are as many as twelve times a year.

In addition, there are many re-measures of military farmland, crackdown on smuggling merchants, rectifying salt laws, torture and curbing corruption, reducing farmers' taxes and labor, civil servants' military affairs, etc. Not only have problems raised, but each one has corresponding solutions.

Yang Ling looked carefully and was surprised. Many of these views were criticized and actually hit the nail on the head. Perhaps it was because Liu Jin was born in poverty and his think tank was a small scholar who failed. Many problems that were covered up when they arrived in the court could not be hidden from their eyes.

Liu Jin took a sip of tea with a smile, and patiently waited for Yang Ling to finish reading. Then he asked, "Sir Yang, do you think these policies of our family are feasible?"

Although he asked Yang Ling, he was already determined to be waiting for Yang Ling to praise him. Many of his strategies were correct, but if they really wanted to be implemented, the execution officials themselves were a big problem.

For example, the cruel punishment and corruption were greedy. Yang Ling felt a little laughing when he saw it. After Liu Jin became the inner minister, he accepted a lot of gifts. And just like the outer court suspicion of the inner court, Liu Jin could not believe the outer court. He clearly stated in the array that the East Factory was executed. What will be the effect of a bunch of extortion gangsters enforcing the law and corruption?

Yang Ling agreed with the fact that the land was measured again and the tax was paid according to the amount of land. He encountered such a strange thing when he was in Jimingyi. The landlord at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty has now become a poor farmer. However, the official number of landlords recorded was still more than a hundred years ago, and the tax payment was almost forced to hang the family.

As for civil servants leading the troops, Yang Ling firmly opposed it, but Liu Jin did this to protect the monarchy. Yang Ling is no longer the young boy when he first entered Beijing, and he will not fight to the death with others in official articles. After hearing Liu Jin's question, Yang Ling pondered for a while and sighed: "My father-in-law's theory is really reasonable, but...it is very difficult to implement."

When Liu Jin saw that he agreed, he was very happy. As for the difficulty... Liu Jin was very optimistic. He smiled and said, "Sir, do you think it is feasible for me to present this to the emperor?"

Yang Ling quickly said, "Uh... there are some minor problems, such as. My father-in-law believes that the Ministry of Revenue should check the money and grain in various places every month. This... is too frequent, and it is difficult to get tired. This group of officials left Beijing and before they could come back, the second group had to go on. Besides, most of the grain taxes are harvested annually and the inspection is frequent. Where can I still have time to deal with government affairs when local officials are here to send off?"

After hearing this, Liu Jin nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes. Our family forgot that the official warehouses in various places are not in Beijing, and this one needs to be changed. Change it to twice a year."

He took the memorial and marked it, and asked again: "What else is wrong? Please give me some advice."

Yang Ling pointed to the article of the civilian leading the army and said, "When Jimingyi was a literati, the envoy, who did not understand military affairs, interfered in the march and formation, causing the army to be trapped in Hulu Valley and finally buried in the chaos, and his father-in-law was also deeply hurt.

Look here, here it is said that the civil servant system is set up to nine borders, and the towns and the patrols are all subject to restraint. If the Tartars attack the border again and let a civil servant talk nonsense, wouldn’t it ruin a big deal?”

Liu Jin blushed when he heard this. He was also one of the people who talked nonsense at the beginning, but in the end he only let General He Shen take the blame. He also knew in his heart that there were many disadvantages of blind command by laymen. This was originally intended to show loyalty, and the scholar added it for him.

Liu Jin picked up the pen, painted this one heavily, and asked, "What the sir is saying, are there any more?"

Yang Ling pointed to the "medium fine" and said, "Yang is worried about this fine..."

Liu Jin said disapprovingly: "This is still necessary. During the Hongwu period, corruption was peeled off and grass after 60 taels of corruption. It is already considered a lighter time for our family to punish rice and silver. The corruption of the administration must be severe and cruel and cruel."

Yang Ling said with a smile: "There are nothing else, but... my father-in-law shouldn't be too hasty."

Liu Jin thought Yang Ling wanted to compete for him for merit, and was afraid that his governance would be effective, so he just smiled and didn't agree. Yang Ling knew that Liu Jin had taken office and was unable to persuade him that enthusiasm. Besides, he now held the center of the inner court and his real power was much greater than himself. If he hadn't said anything before the emperor, Liu Jin would have disagreed even more.

Yang Ling remembered that Huang Qiyin's advice to cut officials was pitiful, and couldn't help but look at Liu Jin with pity. Although this person cannot be compared with Huang Qiyin, a small envoy, his radical approach would have to offend countless officials. Even if those people dare not resist in person, over time, the loose sand will condense into gravel. At that time... Yang Ling shook his head gently.

Liu Jin looked at the memorial in his hand with appreciation again, and then asked, "By the way, what is the important thing for us to come and find our family?"

Yang Ling smiled and said, "That's right, Yang found two foreign crops, which are highly resistant to drought and have much lighter pests than the existing species in the Ming Dynasty. However,... to promote planting, it is necessary to first try planting in various places, and at the same time cultivate a batch of grain planting and teach a group of farmers who can plant it.

I have chosen a county to try planting in Hunan, Suzhou, Hangzhou and the capital. In fact, I know the effect of this crop. This move is just to give the officials in the court a reassurance. At present, corn seeds are only enough to test planting in various places. However, the sweet potato vine is very easy to reproduce, and a piece of sweet potato can be cultivated and planted in the number of potato vines.

Shaanxi is deserted and drought for nine years. Every year, there are people who are famined and starved to death. Therefore, I want to discuss with Eunuch Liu to sow seeds in a province in Shaanxi first. In addition to those first- and second-class fertile fields, they can plant them in barren land, hillsides and newly reclaimed fields. By then, the people will no longer endure hunger. They will definitely be grateful for their kindness. I wonder what their father-in-law wants to do?”

Liu Jin was so moved that he heard this. If such a miraculous effect really existed and saved countless people in his hometown, would my surname be the one who had been born in the Wanjia Buddha? If he returned to his hometown to visit his relatives...

Liu Jin thought about it, but said cautiously: "Mr. Yang, is this crop really suitable for planting? If the grains are not harvested, it has missed the solar term when planting other crops. The villagers in Shaanxi Province... Why don't we choose a place to try it? It's not too late to promote it when it is effective."

Yang Ling explained: "This is not bad, but the official of this crop is clear. If you have to wait until the next year, not only will many people suffer, but our plan to lift the ban and trade will be affected.

Besides, we only selected some land with very few harvests and slopes of thalassemia ridges and land without planting grains. The raw land has very little impact on Shaanxi Province. I have estimated that these lands with new crops have harvested last year. If my father-in-law agrees, I can buy corresponding grain from other places and transport it to Shaanxi and deliver it to the people of the farming land first. In this way, they have no worries, and no one will object. When the harvest is good next year, they will be redeemed and return the grain. What do you think?"

When Liu Jin heard that there was such a way to ensure the harvest of drought and flood, he immediately said, "Okay, it's a matter of determination. Since that's the case, please prepare early. I will tell Cao Yuan, the governor of Shaanxi. After sending the grain and planting master, he asked him to cooperate with him with all his strength."

The two were discussing there, and a little eunuch outside shouted: "Which palace is this? Why do you break in casually...Oh, my god, I'm here to see the emperor!"

With a "pop" sound outside, the curtain was opened, and a woman in red strode in, stood in the hall, pinched her waist and thrust her chest with her hands and said, "I'm so angry that I can't stay in this palace for a whole day. No one can see me, no one likes me, no one I look at... still don't like me."

The beauty saw Yang Ling, and after complaining, she shook her sleeves and said in a rough voice: "Shi Yu is here? Why don't you ask the eunuch to tell me?"

Liu Jin looked as if nothing happened, and slipped out quickly and knelt down and said, "I pay homage to the emperor."

Yang Ling was stunned for a long time when he looked at the beauty in the red palace. The girl had black eyes, pink cheeks, nose like a gallbladder, waist was tugged thinly, and her delicate breasts were raised high. As she spoke, her hair was covered with hairpins and phoenixes swaying frequently, and she was very similar to Princess Yongfu.

The beauty was stunned when she saw Yang Ling, couldn't help but laugh, twisted her slender waist, raised her sleeves and covered her mouth, and said shyly: "Mr. Yang is so rude, why do you look at me like this?"

Yang Ling felt chills in his heart. Only then did he recognize that the girl who was distorted was played by Emperor Zhengde. It seems that he had put in a lot of effort. He raised his sleeves and flew with charming eyes. The typhoon and typhoon steps...

Yang Ling bowed with laughter and cry, and said, "I am Yang Ling, please see the emperor."

At this moment, the curtain was raised and another person broke in. The delicate voice of the oriole singing in a willow was shouting anxiously: "Brother, brother, you have changed your clothes..."

The man must have stopped when he saw a foreign minister present. Yang Ling quietly looked up and saw a goose yellow palace skirt in front of him, and a pair of delicate boots were faintly exposed in front of him. He could smell the faint fragrance of extremely high scent at the end of his nose.

Yang Ling thought to himself: "Brother? Which princess is this?"

Zhengde snorted and said, "What's the point of changing? Is it embarrassing to sing a show occasionally? There are people in the Twenty-Four Filial Piety to entertain their parents. Isn't this a show for the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to make them happy? Yang Qing, get up, this is the Emperor's sister Yongfu, there is no need to be polite."

Yang Ling kowtowed quickly and said, "My dear Yang Ling, please pay homage to His Highness the Princess!"

The tip of the boots took a slightly back, and hid in the goose yellow swaying palace skirt that was waving like a lake, and then a faint and soft voice came from: "Flat body".

Yang Ling knelt down to her so close for the first time. Usually, Su and the emperor kneeled down as if they were playing a show for others. They were very casual, but they didn't dare to neglect the ceremony of the princess. Yang Ling stood up awkwardly and glanced at her quickly. After a few months, Yongfu was like a willow branch in the buds and his figure looked even higher.

She seemed to like to wear yellow clothes, but today she still wore a goose-yellow palace outfit, black hair, black eyebrows, picturesque eyebrows, almond eyes, and pretty face. But her expression and temperament were more tender and reserved than when she first met her.

She held a dragon robe and golden crown in her hand, and her eyes moved away as soon as she touched Yang Ling. She politely advised Zhengde: "Brother, the Empress Dowager is also kind. You are the king of a country. It's okay to go on stage to sing opera and entertain yourself, but you are all in the palace anyway, but you insist on pretending to be a woman, don't say that the Empress Dowager doesn't like you. Do you look unhappy if you haven't seen your mother?"

Zhengde snorted, "It's bad luck. I'll just not invite them next time I'll do it. There are also the queen and the imperial concubine, so I won't invite them." He said in anger, pulling the silk ribbon on his waist and taking off the pink palace costume. Liu Jin hurriedly got up from the ground and went to help him dress.

When Yang Ling saw Zhengdeli tied the two pieces of things on his chest with colorful silk thread. When he held it up, he couldn't help but coughed twice with a funny look and advised: "Your Majesty, you are just having some free time to find some boredom games, which is naturally nothing, but after all, you are the emperor who is high. This is about to reach the ears of the outer court. It is shocking and deviant.

Your Majesty, think about it, don’t say it was you. If I dressed up as a woman and held a meeting at home and sang it, I am afraid that the impeachment of all officials will be handed over immediately. It would be strange if my local officials were not satisfied."

Zhengdeha laughed, looked him up and down a few times, and said with a smile: "You dare to do that, young mother... it would be strange if your wife is not angry. But... you must be as handsome as me."

Princess Yongfu glanced at Yang Ling, imagined that he was wearing women's clothing, and couldn't help laughing, then felt a little disgraceful and couldn't help but faint.

Yang Ling said laughingly: "Yes, yes, of course, you are handsome...uh...you are handsome, don't you? You also know that Zhu Jing will get angry. Think about it, isn't it because of cherishing your reputation?"

Zhengde thought about it, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Well, when I think about it this way, I won't be angry anymore. Haha, Liu Jin, turn around and ask Ma Yongcheng to give the Empress Dowager. Each of the Empress Dowagers tributes 100 pieces of silk and 10 kilograms of tea in each harem. The Empress and the Imperial Concubine... also give some rewards, and it's halved."

Seeing that Zhengde had changed his dragon robe, Liu Jin helped him sit on the chair and quickly followed his hair. The rouge on his face was still there, so he took out a handkerchief from his arms. But as soon as he handed it out, he suddenly shrank back like a fire. Only then did he remember that this handkerchief was still the object of Princess Yongfu.

Princess Yongfu's eyes were sharp-eyed. Seeing his movements, the silk corner and plum blossom-shaped Yongfu Xiuning was still there. How could she not recognize it? The little princess's heart suddenly jumped up. Is it okay to be discovered by the emperor's brother? How can I explain it clearly? This Lord Yang is really... why is he still holding it on his body?

Fortunately, Zhengde did not notice it. While tilting his head slightly, he asked Liu Jin to clean his hair, he asked, "Yang Shidu, do you have something to tell me when you enter the palace so late today?"

Yang Ling stepped forward and said, "Yes, I have reported to the emperor that there are two types of crops that are very easy to grow. However, out of caution, the officials in the court suggested that they try planting in various places first. I chose a few places before discussing with Eunuch Liu..."

He said, as he turned his hand over and shook it behind him. Princess Yongfu bit her lip, tiptoed on her toes, moved her lotus steps lightly, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the silk hand quickly, snatching the silk hand back.

Yangling will prepare to test the plant in different climates in north and south, and concentrate on the barren land in Shaanxi and hillside land for trial planting. The internal factory will provide financial support to Zhengde one by one. The fingers behind him numbed slightly, and she felt that the silk scarf was pulled away. Yangling couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he felt that someone had kicked his heel. Yang Ling was stunned. The fragrant wind flashed beside him. The little princess Yongfu had walked to Zhengde reluctantly, turned to stand still, with a look of a smile on her face, and her teeth gently showed a white gap between her cherry lips, her eyes were soft, but she didn't look at him.

A strange feeling flashed through Yang Ling's heart, and he thought that this little princess was gentle and elegant. It turned out that young girls in the world all had ordinary tempers, even if she was the emperor's daughter.

When Zhengde heard Yang Ling say it, he was confused by breeding, seedling planting, and soil moisture diseases and pests. Although he had been farming in the Temple of Heaven with the emperor, he couldn't even tell the difference between crops and weeds. How could he be interested in these things? However, he trusted Yang Ling and Liu Jin very much. Since these two people have agreed, what else can they say?

Zhengde waved his hand and said, "Okay, according to you, Liu Jin will write an order to let the Shaanxi governor go and handle it. If you submit it to the court for discussion, you will have to argue."

Yang Ling was overjoyed. The Ministry of Revenue's Office changed to Zhang Cai. The Ministry of Revenue's Office was Yan Song. The imperial edict was immediately conveyed to Shaanxi. By then, the forty horses could not be chased back.

Seeing this, Liu Jin took the opportunity to say, "Emperor, I have made some official proposals on the bad policies in the court. I have just asked Lord Yang to read it. I want to modify it and then apply it to it. The emperor should have some new atmosphere in upholding the country."

Zhengde was very happy and slapped the table and said, "Okay, okay, that's it. If you share my worries, how can I do my best?"

When Yang Ling heard that it was broken, Liu Jin's reform policy was even more radical than himself. Once these more than 40 reforms were proposed, it would be strange if the court did not get angry. It had just been a few days of peace.

Yang Ling hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I want to prepare for grain and train personnel. I am afraid I will not be able to come to court during this period."

Zhengde was a little disappointed, and a trace of loss seemed to flash in Princess Yongfu's eyes next to him. Zhengde was about to speak, but Yang Ling said again: "Prince, the inner factory is developing a new musket. If it is successfully developed, its range and rate of fire will be much sharper than that of the previous earth firearm. I will definitely build it as soon as possible. Jieshi asks the emperor to test the gun himself."

This sentence aroused Zhengde's interest again, and he hurriedly said, "Okay, then you can go by yourself. If you need to draw personnel from the Military Weapons Bureau, tell me."
