Jingyang Palace, in the side room.

Zhu Xu sat on the soft collapse and looked at the two ministers in front of him.

One is Bi Ziyan and the other is Li Banghua.

Bi Ziyan was the first governor of Tianjin and Wei Wei, a former Minister of Revenue, who was framed by Wei Zhongxian and was forced to resign and return home. Li Banghua is the current governor of Tianjin and Wei Wei, and is a neutral Donglin Party member like Yuan Keli.

Zhu Xu looked at the two of them and was very satisfied. He smiled and said, "Turn a stool for the two adults."

This was the second time Li Banghua met Zhu Xu, and it was Bi Ziyan’s first time. The two of them were old colleagues. They looked at each other and raised their hands and said, “I don’t dare.”

Cao Huachun brought a stool and placed it behind the two of them, and neither of them really sat down.

Zhu Xu didn't care and said with a smile: "Today I'm summoning two lords. First, I want to ask about the situation of Tianjin and Tianjin Wei, and second, I want to hear Lord Bi's thoughts on the Ministry of Revenue and taxes."

Li Bangyan pondered for a moment and said, "Emperor, the strategy of 'three-party arrangement' has gradually shown results. The mountain/hai/guard/gate, Tianjin/wei, Dengzhou navy formed a horn between them. I have reclaimed nearly 50,000 hectares of wasteland and are still constantly reclaiming it. It will not take long to support the food and wages in Liaodong. I was also ordered to investigate the matters of occupation, fraud, etc., which have achieved great results."

Zhu Xu nodded from time to time, but he sighed in his heart. He was afraid that this person didn't believe him as an emperor. He said it very generally and did not involve any specific matters. Fortunately, he knew about it through various channels. After hearing this, he smiled and said, "Well, Tianjin Wei is the most important rear of Liaodong, I am relieved to give it to you. Do you have any other suggestions?"

Li Banghua looked up at Zhu Xu, bowed slightly and said, "I ask the emperor to beware of the chaos of the people and arrest spies. It is not allowed to form associations without the court's permission. Rumors are strictly prohibited."

Zhu Xu was quite happy when he heard the front, but the latter was no longer interesting. Most of the rumors in the capital were from him, the emperor who "raised wars and chaos". No wonder they all looked very reserved.

Li Banghua was also the pillar of the Qingliu. In the 41st year of Wanli, Emperor Shenzong did not want King Fu to be a vassal, so he refused to let him go, and the ministers did not dare to say much. Li Banghua took the lead and led a group of counselors to force Emperor Shenzong to be a vassal on time. At the same time, he also wrote several letters to talk about Emperor Shenzong's hobby of "greed for money". Even if he was impeached and demoted, he would not change his preface, saying, "I would rather bear to be boring and knowledgeable, and not be a villain."

However, Li Banghua said rightly, joining is a very important issue.

Zhu Xu thought for a while, looked up at Cao Huachun not far away and said, "I will show you the decree to me. The general idea is to let Shuntian Prefecture strictly control the stability of the capital, and then order Wen Zhao Pavilion to discuss private associations and other matters, and report it as soon as possible."

"Yes." Cao Huachun responded calmly.

Seeing that Li Banghua stopped talking, Zhu Xu turned his eyes to Bi Ziyan. This is the protagonist he is going to meet today.

Bi Ziyan was idle for two years and was very clear about the situation in the court. He raised his hand to look at Zhu Xu and said, "I have twelve strategies, please listen to me."

Zhu Xu's eyes lit up and he signaled to a small eunuch not far away.

The little eunuch quickly took the pen and made a careful record.

Bi Ziyan was a little stunned and said, "First strategy, I would like to transfer salt tax to make up for the emptiness of the Ministry of Revenue. Second, I will order vendors to transport rice and grain to enrich the border towns. Third, I will eliminate and eliminate redundant soldiers and redemption of labor. Fourth, I will check the flaws of military pay. Fourth, I will reclaim JD paddy fields. Fifth, I will establish military camps. Sixth, I will strictly control local embezzlement of taxes and silver, and start the statutes based on acres... Twelfth, I will investigate hidden fields in the world."

Zhu Xu smiled more and said, "What Bi Qing said is in line with my wishes. To be honest, I have not been able to say that I have not been able to clear the land in the world for a day, but it is just a lot of obstacles and it is difficult to make a decision. You are here at the right time."

Bi Ziyan kept looking at Zhu Xu, listening to his words, and thought to himself, "Sure enough, the world has changed a lot in recent years, and I'm afraid it's the emperor who is behind the scenes."

He stood there without saying a word. He was summoned to Beijing by Wen Zhao Pavilion. Now, it must be the emperor who thought of him.

Zhu Xu pressed his right hand on the desk table next to him, patted him, and said, "Mr. Bi, have you heard about the Nanzhili incident?"

Bi Ziyan's thoughts turned in his heart, his eyes flashed slightly, and he raised his hand and said, "I have heard that the emperor is too anxious. This matter has not been discussed by the court, which has caused criticism from the world. The Nanzhili incident may not be able to calm down for a year or two, which is a mistake."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows, Bi Ziyan was really outspoken.

His expression remained unchanged, and he fell from the soft collapse, stood in front of the two of them with his hands behind his back, and smiled and said, "It's not that I'm anxious, nor that I can't control the court's discussion, but that Nanzhili must be quick and quick. Once it is delayed, it will be really difficult to do."

Li Banghua's face moved, and he had to agree with Zhu Xu's words.

Since Zhang Juzheng's death in the Ming Dynasty, most of them were conservative. Anyone who made changes would be attacked by people. There were countless tragedies ahead, and even the emperor could not do whatever he wanted.

Bi Ziyan confirmed the guess in his heart, and then felt relieved. He thought for a while and said, "What the emperor said is very much, but Nanzhili, no, Jiang/Su, even if King Jing is here, many things may not be straightened out. People with respect in the court still need to go there to soothe people."

Zhu Xu also knew that it was just that Zhao Nanxing had quit because the eunuch party had resurrected. In addition, he also heard the taste of "self-recommendation" from Bi Ziyan's words.

He smiled secretly, Bi Ziyan, he liked it.

Zhu Xu, with his hands behind his back, walked back and forth a few steps, and said, "I plan to let you go to Jiangsu/Su, as the deputy Zuodu Censor, and preside over Qingzhangjiang/Su Tianmu."

Bi Ziyan is a very capable and strong person, especially good at financial management. He is well aware of the series of disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty and has the determination to reform. He raised his hand and said, "I will receive the order."

Zhu Xu was stunned when he looked at him. He seemed to have said the word "plan" just now?

However, he liked it more and more.

"good!"

Zhu Xu laughed loudly and said, "I will issue an order to King Jing to cooperate with you. Be sure to do it well. Jiang/Su is a mirror, you must see it clearly for me!"

Mirror?

Bi Ziyan was stunned at first, and then came to know that the emperor wanted to practice in Jiang/Su first, and then promote it to the entire Ming Dynasty!

"Abide by the order!"

Bi Ziyan's words have a little more like establishing military orders.

Is this a happy conversation between the monarch and the minister?

Zhu Xu was very happy. He was basically accompanying guests with the two, or Li Banghua. Zhu Xu and Bi Ziyan were always talking about it.

Bi Ziyan explained his twelve strategies in detail. Zhu Xu had reformed many of them, and many of them had never been involved. What he heard really benefited Zhu Xu a lot.

Zhu Xu's understanding of the current situation of the Ming Dynasty may be deeper than them in many places, but more so, Bi Ziyan and others understand more comprehensively, subtlely, and more to the point than Zhu Xu.

After talking for more than an hour, Zhu Xu reluctantly sent Bi Ziyan and the others away.

Standing under the eaves, Zhu Xu sighed: "I am still full of talents in the Ming Dynasty."

Cao Huachun stood behind him without saying a word.

After a while, Zhu Xu came to his senses and said, "By the way, you said before, did Huang Taiji's troops cross the Daling River?"

Cao Huachun bowed slightly and said in a stern manner, "Yes, but Jiannu did not get close to Yizhou and Guangning for thirty miles. He also wrote a book to Mao Wenlong and asked him to "fight" Chen/yang."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and sneered.

Is this person afraid that he will be penetrated by Mao Wenlong, who is so close to him?

Huang Taiji suffered a loss once. Since he still dared to attack Lin Danhan with great fanfare, he should have a backup plan.

The "peace" situation with the Later Jin Dynasty cannot be broken. Liaodong and Dongjiang are all rapidly building cities and resting. His energy is also being continuously promoted by reforms, especially when Jiang/Su dragged it, and nothing can happen in Liaodong.

But Huang Taiji openly "resisted the order" and did not teach him a lesson, which made Huang Taiji feel too weak for no reason.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Xu said: "I sent an order to all Mongolian and ancient departments to cooperate with Lin Danhan to defend, and then I ordered Zu Dashou to build a city on the other side of the Da/Ling/River. At the same time, I checked all the contacts related to Jiannu, and all the transactions were cut off. I ordered Mao Wenlong to conduct a military exercise, which would be large in scale, but don't really go to Shen/Yang, it should be a trap."

"Abide by the order." Cao Huachun said.

Yingtian Prefecture, Governor's Office.

Several people have fainted, all of whom are third-rank or above, and were once old ministers of the Wanli Dynasty.

As a result, the crowd became more and more influential, and the entire governor's yamen was surrounded.

"Huang Liji comes out and give us an explanation!"

"Be an accomplice for the tiger, and disrupt government and harm the people!"

"Restore the old system and restore peace to the people!"

In the courtyard, Huang Liji's mustache was about to be grabbed, and he listened to the sounds outside with a gloomy face.

Li Kuilong hurried out from inside and said, "Sir, I received the news that a person was heading for Xiaoling!"

Huang Liji's face changed suddenly and he hurriedly said, "Stop them quickly. No matter what method is used, you must stop them!"

Xiaoling is the tomb of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. If there is a lot of things, no one can protect him!

Li Kuilong said with a calm face: "The officials have already sent a message to the East Factory, but this is not a solution!"

Huang Liji's expression changed, but hesitated and said, "Let's go and see King Jing."

King Jing is now in Yingtian Prefecture. After a few people discussed it, they broke out and came to Yingtian Prefecture. As a result, Yingtian Prefecture was surrounded by strong forces, and the soldiers rushed in.

Huang Liji looked sad and helpless and said to Prince Jing: "Prince, if this continues, you must think of a solution."

King Jing was leisurely, drinking tea, looking at Huang Liji, Li Kuilong and others, and laughed and said, "Do you know how I and the emperor submitted the report before coming?"

Everyone didn't say anything and looked at King Jing seriously. They didn't expect King Jing to do anything, but just wanted him to take the blame.

"Use both scruples!"

King Jing stood up and looked outside, and could not see anyone, but the hot sunlight told him that Man Yingtian Mansion and Manjiang/Su were all human.

They are all people who need suppression!

Huang Liji, Li Kuilong and others were shocked. The previous promotion, winning and reward were all comforting. Now, are we going to use ruthless measures?

Not long after, the Dongchang Tiqi, who was originally just staring at the merchants, suddenly rushed open the doors of officials, and there was a team of people stopping in front of the Baoguo Duke’s Mansion!

Duke Xu Wenjue of Wei came out of the sedan chair and looked up at the tall and majestic Duke of Baoguo's Mansion, which was quite "old" and felt very moved.

This Duke Baoguo Mansion is not much different from his Duke Wei Mansion. It has been passed down for more than ten generations. Is it going to end today?

Tian Ergeng was wearing a fish and dragon suit, with an embroidered spring knife on his waist, the scars on his face trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of bloodthirsty eyes staring at the three words "Baoguo Duke".
