Chapter 558 Seven things about opening the door

The day after kissing Shen Xiu'er, the four wives and concubines were waiting for He Jin's trick to come out and recreate the scene of omnipotence.

But unexpectedly, a few days later, He Jin seemed to have no movement at all.

In addition to not being as resentful and depressed as I did the previous few days, I was still wandering around the mansion. At most, in the afternoon, I took my entourage to the business department's office.

By the way, the trade yamen of the Ming Dynasty has become another department other than the six divisions of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, after the opening of the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty, the role of the Ministry of Commerce also increased. Yang Yiqing's popularity in the court was also very good.

After the letter was written, Emperor Hongzhi also agreed to change the Trade Office to the Ministry of Commerce. Although he did not clearly state that he was at the same level as the six ministries, it was not necessary to say that this kind of thing was clear, and everyone knew it in their hearts.

"Did my husband really have an idea, or did he give up on himself?" After Rimu's identity changed, he was particularly concerned about He Jin and asked Zhu Xiuying beside him.

Shen Xiuer is busy with business, and Liu Qingshuang also has a literary career. The remaining two young masters are not as good as Cui, and they are worried about He Jin at home all day.

"Look, it's probably because of a brain disease again." Looking at He Jin who was grinning and laughing silly in the hall, Zhu Xiuying didn't have much expectations for this husband.

But unexpectedly, seeing that the sun was almost over, He Jin folded the pages and came out.

Seeing the two of them muttering, they were actually looking naturally beautiful and difficult to give up. They gently lifted their hair and said, "Do you feel lucky to marry such a handsome husband?"

The two women's expressions were very painful, but thinking that the crazy person could not bear the stimulation, he nodded against his will and said, "My husband is so handsome today."

"Well, I have vision." He Jin turned around with satisfaction and then tripped on the steps.

But just when Zhu Xiuying and That Rimu were about to help him up, He Jin stood up without any trouble, and then changed the topic to hide his embarrassment. "Well, count the days, it will be almost the next two days, and the appointment of the court will be settled. You pack up, and my husband will take you to Yangzhou!"

After saying that, he left without looking back, without knowing that there was a leaf on the back of his head. His appearance was like the two fools who hummed like Guan Yu in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and put on the sign and sold the first place.

After arriving at the Ministry of Commerce, he chatted with Yang Yiqing for a while. Yang Yiqing, who was frowning, seemed to be quite welcoming when he saw him coming.

Then someone came from the palace, saying that Emperor Hongzhi asked Yang Yiqing to discuss matters. He Jin also left the Ministry of Commerce and watched Yang Yiqing go to the palace.

"Well, it's almost time."

He Jin stood with his hands behind his back and muttered, still trying to maintain his master's demeanor. However, the leaves on his head swayed slightly in the wind, which greatly affected his image at this moment.

Yes, until this time, the followers, Yang Yiqing, and the pedestrians on the road did not remind him - everyone knew that he had always been a little out of tune, what if he wanted to be unique today?

After Yang Yiqing arrived at the palace, he found that the banquet was not over yet. He went to the cabinet's payroll room first, trying to figure out what topics to discuss today so as to save time from being blind.

But when I arrived at the duty room, I found it was quite lively. Ma Wensheng, Liu Daxia and other important officials were also there. The three cabinet ministers sighed, and they were no different from the aunts in the vegetable market.

"There is another memorial in Jinling, saying that the rain this year is different from previous years. The river embankment has been disrepaired for a long time, and it is probably going to collapse the dam and flood Jinling." Liu Jian said worriedly with several memorials.

Jinling is Nanjing. The Ming Dynasty implemented the two capital system, and the important status of Jinling is self-evident. However, repairing the embankment is a big project. Even if He Jin invented cement, it would require a lot of money.

Xie Qian couldn't stand it anymore and said, "The situation in Jinling is still unclear, but the disaster of Yunnan flood last year has not been properly resolved this year."

Post-disaster reconstruction has never been an easy task. Unless he finds a new way of financial resources like He Jin in Cizhou to rescue disasters, he can only spend a lot of money.

Moreover, there are many ethnic minorities in Yunnan. If tough measures are used, killing officials and rebelling there is commonplace.

Then Liu Daxia also spoke here and said, "When it comes to chaos, there may be another disaster in Qiongzhou. Zhang Huan, the former governor of Qiongzhou, was greedy for money and selfishness, and the people were greedy for the impeachment. After the court was impeached, the court quickly investigated it. But unexpectedly, Yu Jun, who succeeded him, was even more cruel."

"It is said that the Li people are unbearable and have risen up. Although the weather is not yet established, the number of responders in the war report is increasing, with nearly 10,000 people. At that time, the army will suppress the rebellion, and all the food, grass, equipment, and supplies, and weapons will be spent, which is not a small number."

Everyone said everything you said, and I said, all the troubles about the Ming Dynasty.

But as they were talking, they suddenly turned their eyes to Yang Yiqing and Yang on the side. We all have bad things here, and it seems that your place is going well?

Moreover, you are the Minister of Commerce and are doing business of making money. Why don’t we discuss it in advance and get some money to solve our affairs first?

Looking at the green eyes of everyone, Yang Yiqing suddenly shivered and quickly said, "Border trade should be given priority to supply military system reform. This is a national policy that Your Majesty personally decided!"

As soon as these big guys said this, of course, it would be useless to these big guys.

They are all foxes for thousands of years, so why are they playing in Speak of Chinese Studio?

Who doesn’t know that things can be adapted? And we are not corrupt, but also used to solve the urgent needs of the Ming Dynasty. Why are you so careless?

Fortunately, just as everyone was clamoring, Qiu gathered over and told everyone that after the banquet, Emperor Hongzhi would discuss state affairs with them.

But Yang Yiqing didn't breathe a sigh of relief, because he knew that even if he arrived at the warm room, the situation would not improve at all, and it would only be worse.

Sure enough, the topic discussed today was the state affairs they were talking about just now. After everyone expressed their opinions, they pointed the finger at Yang Yiqing even more tacitly because they had a warm-up in the payroll room.

After another verbal battle and crying helplessly, Emperor Hongzhi forced Emperor Hongzhi to look at Yang Yiqing and asked, "Yang Qing, do you think about this?"

Yang Yiqing couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I'm not to hide it. These old ministers in the court have talked with He Runde in recent days. After hearing his views, the old minister felt that it was very reasonable, so he sorted it out in private."

As he said that, he handed over a note.

After Emperor Hongzhi opened it, he slowly began to review it and found that He Jin had put forward the view that "there is no layman to command the insider" when it comes to repairing the Nanjing embankment.

Regarding the rebellion of the Li people in Qiongzhou, we proposed the method of "changing the land and returning to the flow".

As for the disaster relief after the flood in Yunnan, the boy had even more experience and explained the best way to dredge the rivers there and use Yunnan copper as the pillar of the local economy.

Emperor Hongzhi became more and more frightened. After experiencing the business and trading, he knew that He Jin was a talented person who was rare in a century. But he did not expect that this kid was truly rich in his heart, had the ability to govern the country and yin and yang, and had sharp and meticulous views.

At that moment, he asked Qiu Ju to circulate the memorials and let everyone review them.

After seeing this, these old ministers who had been governing the country for many years were also amazed. Unexpectedly, although He Jin was young, not only did he have the same ideas as them, but he also had unexpected ideas. If you think about it carefully, it was so reasonable and wonderful.

At present, based on He Jin's ideas as a guide, these ministers added some views. Soon, the state affairs discussed were concluded and planned one by one.

But at this moment, Yang Yiqing's face became even more bitter and said unhappy, "Your Majesty, my colleagues, I wonder if you have discovered it. Although He Runde's method is good, it has the most important link, which is exactly what we lack."

“What is it?”

Emperor Hongzhi reviewed it again, but he didn't feel anything wrong with it. He also felt that with this kid's unique point of view, the efficiency of court discussions has improved a lot.

Yang Yiqing was about to cry without tears, and said two words in deep pain, "No money."

Yes, He Jin's method is indeed very good, but everything has its own premise. Especially if you want to do something perfectly, you need money.

But the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, as early as last year, was not only empty but also owed a lot of debts because of fighting with foreign races outside the border. If it weren't for the holes in trade and trading, the Ming Dynasty's economy would have been turbulent.

Everyone was silent when they thought of this.

Even the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, who was supreme in power, could only smile bitterly, "Seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. Even if I want to govern the country, I will never be able to have no money."
