Chapter 844
Yunchu stood in front of the map, looking down at the great rivers and mountains in Yanshi County in front of him, and Li Jingxuan on the opposite side also looked at the map with burning eyes.
Meekly grabbed handfuls of clean sand and sprinkled a circle on the map to represent Yanshi City, a small sand dune was a mountain, and a line was a river...
His hands kept moving sand on the map, and the originally flat map became a vivid scene with hills and rivers.
"I don't need a large army of soldiers and horses to accompany me. I only need a donkey, a servant, and three or five servants to stabilize Yanshi County."
Seeing the gradually vivid Yanshi County, Li Jingxuan's eyes were sparkling, and he looked at Yunchu full of expectation.
Yun Chu frowned and said: "The reason for the great chaos this time is that the law has been abolished and the officials are weak and incompetent, so that there are bandits and bandits in Yanshi County. .”
Li Jingxuan shook his head and said, "I didn't think about Huairou..."
Rourou just finished the general direction of Luoshui on the map, patted the sand on her hands and said: "It's hard to agree with His Majesty."
Li Jingxuan looked at Yunchu and Wenrou and thought for a moment, "Your Majesty likes Chang'an the most."
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Yun has served as an official in Chang'an for more than ten years, and it is already the result of His Majesty's trust. If he gets involved in Yanshi again, the consequences will be unpredictable."
Li Jingxuan smiled when he heard the words, and pressed his hands on the jade belt, looking quite high-spirited.
However, after waiting for a while, he didn't hear what Yunchu and Wenrou recommended him, so he simply picked up the topic and said, "Your Majesty is your Majesty's back-up, so you can't leave it lightly."
Yunchu sighed and said, "The servant wants to reproduce the Chang'an model in Yanshi County. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you alone. You must know that the Chang'an model has been continuously supplemented and filled by a certain family for more than ten years. Among them, documents, laws and regulations I have been stacking beds and building houses for a long time, and they are intertwined, and I am not alone..."
Li Jingxuan smiled, patted the back of Yunchu's hand on the table and said: "I heard from my humble son-in-law that a small official under Chang'an is enough to serve as the governor of one party. If a whole set of people can be transferred from Chang'an, The old man doesn't have to put himself in the pile of old papers to study the method of Chang'an.
What's more, it is impossible for His Majesty to have only one Yanshi County in chaos during this eastward tour. After the governance of Yanshi County is completed, what about Zhengzhou, Bianzhou, and the east of Bianzhou? "
Yun Chu watched Li Jingxuan's fingers meandering forward on the big map, shook his head and smiled wryly, "Chang'an doesn't have so many manpower for you to call on, not to mention His Majesty has already prepared candidates in his pocket."
Li Jingxuan said with a smile: "Can someone who has read a few books really be able to use them to rule the world immediately?"
Gentlely shook her head and said: "No, last time I met a person who used "The Analects" to govern the country and used "Spring and Autumn" as the criterion for judging cases."
Li Jingxuan smiled and said, "Where did such a talented person end up?"
She smiled softly and said, "Became a treasurer in Chang'an County, and was exiled to the Western Regions because of embezzlement of treasury money."
Li Jingxuan laughed loudly and said: "Sure enough, it is a good place, Junhou, what shall we agree on?"
Yunchu pointed to the decree on the table and said: "Your Majesty has not specified the time for me to enter Yanshi County, but I can only delay it for three days at most. If Li Shilang wants to do something, he'd better do it faster. If the soldiers and horses of the family enter Yanshi County, it will be the severe winter in Yanshi County."
Li Jingxuan said with a smile: "Fortunately, it's only fifty miles away, and the old man will go back to Zhengzhou immediately to recommend himself to His Majesty."
Li Jingxuan is a person who sits up and walks. After reaching an exchange with Yunchu, he left Hulao Pass and rode away with his servants.
Gentlely watching the backs of Li Jingxuan and his party disappear at the end of the dark blue land, he said to Yunchu: "The path of the east tour is a line."
Yun Chu said: "It is also a line of defense."
Gentle said again: "Chun and Jingming are in the south of this line, and it is cold and windy in the north of this line."
Back in the room, he said softly, "Is it possible for the emperor's policy to succeed?"
Yunchu picked up a large handful of sand and sprinkled it evenly on the ground in Shandong and Hebei. Even though it was only on the map, the handful of sand was just left some dust on the map. After blowing, the sand dispersed.
"Military Department, why hasn't Yunchu entered Yanshi County yet?"
Li Zhi's face was gloomy and cold, and his deep voice lingered in the hall of the palace.
Ren Yaxiang came out of the squad and said: "Two days ago, the order to dispatch troops has been delivered to Houjun Yunchu, and here is the receipt signed by Yunchu."
"If that's the case, why is Yunchu still standing still at Hulao Pass?"
Ren Yaxiang cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, when Yun Chu received the order, he once said that there is no need to use a bull's knife to kill a chicken."
Li Zhi sneered.
"One Jie, two hundred and five, and now he claims to be a sledgehammer? Continue to pass on the order. If he doesn't enter Yanshi County again, he will use his sledgehammer to slaughter cattle."
Seeing that Secretary Cheng had already begun to draw up a pen to draw up an order, Li Jingxuan came out of the class and said: "Qizou Your Majesty, the change in Yanshi County is a small situation set up by Your Majesty to observe the world. Now, various defeats have already appeared. , exactly when it is necessary to take a closer look.
Most of Yunchu's subordinates are arrogant soldiers. Once they enter this small Yanshi County, it is like a giant waving a giant broom. Of course, all the monsters in Yanshi County can be swept away under the chaos, and give His Majesty a clean Yanshi County.
However, His Majesty has no way of knowing the various changes in the subtleties. I think that what Yanshi County needs at this time is not a giant broom like Yunhou, but a small brush like Weichen.
Be patient, clean up little by little, observe little by little, observe from the subtleties to prevent future troubles, and build up little by little, so that all processes are under the control of the imperial court, so as to prevent the land where bad fruits are produced and keep good fruits from sprouting source of water.
I think that only in this way can we fulfill His Majesty's expectations to the greatest extent possible, and then lay the foundation for His Majesty's eternal unification. "
Li Zhi listened to Li Jingxuan's words, leaned forward, looked at the serious Li Jingxuan and said, "What do you know?"
Li Jingxuan said respectfully: "I am Your Majesty's subject, what Your Majesty has to do is the goal that I must strive to achieve.
As for knowing what is not a difficult task, because the minister and His Majesty share the same spirit, breathe together, and share the same fate. If it's wrong, it will be the same goal by different roads. "
Li Zhi invited Li Jingxuan to talk in the back hall. He just sat down, put his hand on the round head of the giant bear, and asked impatiently: "These days you are busy running between Zhengzhou and Hulao Pass, is it Yun?" Did you have any different opinions at Chu that caused you to go to Yanshi County to restore the chaos for Yunchu today?"
Li Jingxuan cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty should believe in this humble minister. A fourth-rank Shangxitai servant will not be attached to anyone except Your Majesty. If everything you do is not beneficial to the country, at worst it is beneficial to the country." At the same time, there are also some negligible benefits to myself."
Li Zhi said thoughtfully: "Where are your advantages?"
Li Jingxuan said loudly: "Follow His Majesty's footsteps, let Shandong return to its heart, and make Hebei surrender to my Tang Dynasty sincerely."
Li Zhi smiled and said: "Keep talking, keep talking, I think what you said is very reasonable."
Li Jingxuan looked around and remained silent.
Li Zhi waved his hand, all the court maids and eunuchs who were waiting around retreated one after another, only Ruichun was standing near Li Jingxuan with a waist knife in his hand.
After Li Jingxuan and other eunuchs closed the gate of the palace, he cupped his hands and said, "Take time out of Chang'an!"
Li Zhi frowned and said: "Chang'an is a place of great wealth in the Tang Dynasty, it can only be strengthened, not weakened."
Li Jingxuan said: "The operation of Chang'an has become its own law. As long as the two core figures, Yunchu and Wenrou, are not touched, the rest of them are not irreplaceable."
"Oh, what do you say? I know that your son-in-law is currently serving as an eighth-rank official in Chang'an. Do you want to arrange a good position for him?"
Li Jingxuan said: "The humble son-in-law still needs to serve under the command of Chang'an Yunchu for three years before he can be of great use.
At the end of the new year, my humble son-in-law came to Luoyang for business. He once told the humble official that a small official who led him to familiarize himself with official affairs would be enough to be the head of a county in other places, and he must be a dry official.
Nowadays, there are no less than a thousand people in Chang'an and Wannian counties who serve as minor officials, but who are qualified for high positions in other places.
When the humble son-in-law said these words, the minister also laughed it off, and then consulted the official documents from Chang'an and Wannian counties over the years. As a result, the minister found that their performance in various places It is no different from what my humble son-in-law said. "
While speaking, Li Jingxuan took out a memorial book from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.
Ruichun took the memorial from Li Jingxuan, checked it, and put it on Li Zhi's desk.
Li Zhi casually flipped through the memorabilia, and after reading only a few pages, he said in surprise, "Above fifty percent is the top choice?"
Li Jingxuan said: "Your Majesty should take a closer look at the resumes of those officials who have been designated as Zhongping or even middle and lower officials by the Cleaning Department.
The top candidates are just those who can be officials. When it comes to ability, those officials who have made drastic changes in the local area, abolished bad governance, and enriched the country and strengthened the people are the mainstay of these people.
Among them, Liu Jiang, a county magistrate of Qipin, took the lead in Jinji County, tied hemp rope around his waist, and led the villagers to dig ditches between the cliffs with axes. After four years, he forced the clear water from the other side of the mountain After being brought in, more than [-] mu of paddy fields were created on the dry plateau.
This alone made the people of Jinji County change from being naked and starving to a river of rice that everyone around them envied.
Your Majesty, I really can't imagine that a county magistrate can do such a thing, such a feat, I think it is comparable to the act of a foolish old man moving mountains.
Such characters cannot be found among scholars.
During His Majesty's eastward tour, everyone thought it was His Majesty's great success, and wanted to publicize the great achievements of the Tang Dynasty on the top of Mount Tai, but they didn't know that His Majesty planned far-reaching plans for the Tang Dynasty, to solve the conflict between Shandong, Hebei and Datang. This is the real purpose of His Majesty's East Tour. "
Li Zhi read through the memorials quickly, found the entry of the local official named Liu Jiang, and read it.
Pointing at it with his finger, the impeachment record said: "In June of the fourth year of Xianqing, oh, six thousand catties of gunpowder were used to blow up mountains and open canals, and the source of gunpowder is unknown.
You don’t need to check the source, Ruichun, you can go to Yunchu and ask directly. If he agrees, just tell him to pay him a two-year fine. Year, coming back for a year is just right. "
Ruichun listened to the emperor's obviously emotional order and wondered whether he should accept it, but listened to the emperor's continuation.
"In March of the fifth year of Xianqing, [-] catties of fine varieties, oh, beets, and onions, should be the work of the crown prince.
Hehe, with the full support of the Chang'an Mansion and the Prince's Mansion, is there anything in this world that cannot be done?
This Liu Jiang just put in some hard work, he can't be regarded as a hero, but the evaluation of his inferiority by the Qing officials really wronged him.
Since he is used to asking for help, we might as well find another poor place and let him be a magistrate, lest he be regarded as a god by the people in Jinji County. "
Li Zhi babbled about the boss’s call, and when he looked up, seeing that Ruichun had no intention of leaving, he sighed and said, “Forget it, forget it, the gunpowder that Yunchu took out was used to blow up mountains and repair canals anyway.” In fact, it is far better than those who get gunpowder out and do some inexplicable tricks."
Li Zhi was talking to himself, unable to tell whether it was joy or anger, Ruichun and Li Jingxuan held hands respectfully, waiting for the emperor to wake up from his thoughts.
After a long time, Li Zhi raised his head to look at Li Jingxuan and said, "Don't play tricks of yours, it's not enough for Yunchu.
You thought that Yunchu pushed you out to prevent disasters, but you didn't know that he was doing you a real favor.
You don't need to come up with any plan to take time out of Chang'an to calculate Yunchu, Chang'an belongs to me, I can use it if I want to use it, and don't use it if I don't want to use it.
However, since you want to do this, and Yunchu doesn't want me to think that he is planning other places besides Chang'an, since you hit it off, you should do it well.
You already know what my purpose is, and you also said that we, the monarchs and ministers, need to work together, so we should work hard to build Yanshi County well, and let those rich families who died feel that they died too unjustly.
If things are done well, you are expected to be my prime minister. If you can't do well, then come and see me. "
