"How is it possible?" Li Changgeng immediately exclaimed in disbelief, "Your Majesty has been talking to you all night long. This is something that even the Queen admits. How could he not say it? If he didn't say this, then what did he say?"

There is no way, he is the most anxious, seeing that there is not much time left before the imperial examination, and the final plan has not been decided yet. When the time comes, some changes will be announced at the last minute, and then it will not be him, the great master, who will be scolded.

He had heard that Liu Zongzhou was scolding the emperor because of the imperial examination. Even if his merits were his, he could not shut up the old man. The emperor was big and could bear it, but he could not bear it.

, Whatever you say today, you have to pry something out of Xu Guangqi's mouth.

"I told you..." Xu Guangqi was speechless, but in the end no words came out, "I really can't say this. Your Majesty said it should be kept secret, but there is really nothing about the imperial examination."

"Since Chang Geng is so anxious, why not go and ask His Majesty the memorial?" Zhu Xieyuan couldn't stand it, so he said a few words to help Xu Guangqi.

"Yes, yes, just ask your majesty. The national talent promotion ceremony is not something we can easily decide." In order to get out of trouble, Xu Guangqi was so embarrassed that he did not notice the disdainful eyes of others.

What is not something we can easily decide? If it were left to the previous dynasty, it would not be up to us, the elders of the zige, to let the emperor decide. Would the emperor be willing? Does the emperor dare? Isn't he afraid that all the officials will unite to oppose it?

That is to say, today, when officials and officials are merged and promoted as one, many officials with a low-level background have been promoted, showing signs of threatening the literati and bureaucrats. Otherwise, if he dares to take away the jobs of the gentry and literati, they will dare to take his position.

Of course, someone moved, but no one succeeded. This is why the central officials were so worried about the emperor's opinion. Without him, the other party had the power to subvert everything, but the previous emperor did not.

"Forget it, I'll just go and ask the memorial." Seeing that he really couldn't get anything out of the question, Li Changgeng had no choice but to agree angrily.

After temporarily solving the problem of the imperial examination, or finding a direction to solve the problem of the imperial examination, this hurdle has been passed, and the next step is the normal daily work of the cabinet.

Various important officials explained the current work progress, such as taxation, store statistics, road construction, police team building and execution capabilities, and how the border surveys of the countries in Indochina are going.

, and so on.

Based on various aspects of work, Xu Guangqi made comments and new arrangements. If there were difficulties, Xu Guangqi proposed countermeasures, several people discussed and decided, and finally formed a document, which can be sent out after reporting.

"By the way, is there a memorial from Cui Mingji, the governor of the land reform?" Xu Guangqi suddenly asked after the meeting.

"I don't know, just ask the general secretary!" Bi Ziyan replied after being stunned.

Before the division of labor, he was responsible for memorials and correspondence. After they were divided, he was no longer responsible for this area of ​​work. Instead, he put up the sign of the former General Affairs Department. Of course, his status was not as high as before.

He is one of the Nine Qings. Now he is only a third-grade official, equivalent to the General Administration of Customs.

The general affairs he was responsible for were similar to those of the office director. Uploading and delivering memorials, and reporting to the emperor were all his affairs. He did not have much power, but the matters were complicated and important, and he could not make any mistakes.

"That's right." Xu Guangqi patted his head, "I've been very busy lately."

I called the general affairs envoy over and asked, and it turned out that it was really there. It was delivered last night. I originally planned to submit it today, but it was delayed for a while because I was in a meeting.

After ordering the General Secretary to bring the memorial, Xu Guangqi couldn't wait to open it and read it. There wasn't much on it, just a few words.

The details have been found out and the forces are ready. Should we start? Finally, the signature of the land reform governor Cui Mingji was signed.

"That's it." Xu Guangqi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's finally here."

"What does this mean?" Several other pavilion elders also looked over, but they didn't understand what this sentence meant.

"Buddha said, it can't be said, it can't be said." Xu Guangqi laughed, but even though he was smiling, it gave people a feeling of loneliness and desolation, as if there was a strong sadness behind the smile.

Seeing this, everyone seemed to feel something, and they all shut up and didn't ask. There were too many hidden things inside, and the less we knew, the better.

"Go, seal this memorial and send it to His Majesty, eight hundred miles away." After calming down, Xu Guangqi handed the memorial to the general envoy and made a series of arrangements.

"Okay." The General Secretary nodded and went out with the memorial. Not long after, a horseman rode out and headed northwest with the memorial.

At the same time, in Wuying Hall, a meeting of the Governor's Office was also held. In the small room, all five Governors were present and sitting upright.

"How are the preparations going?" Sun Chengzong, sitting at the top, asked with a serious face.

"It's all done. According to the previous information from the Ministry of War, the General Staff has listed a rough rectification plan here. It just needs to be distributed and implemented." Qi Jin, the left governor, replied.

Although he was the one who followed the emperor earlier, he could only submit to Sun Chengzong, who could be called the emperor's mentor.

"Where is the general training? The training and reorganization plan is ready. His Majesty has sent over the list of officers who need to change their jobs. You have already assigned them." Sun Chengzong moved his head and looked at the right commander Yu Zigao.

"It's all done. Really, they are all good young men. Why do they need to come out of the field army? I can't go even if I want to." Yu Zigao muttered.

Regarding his complaining words, Sun Chengzong pretended not to hear and looked at the other two people, "The equipment department's clothing, firearms, and weapons have all been stockpiled. They must be sent to the provinces as soon as possible."

"No problem. The muskets, weapons, and armors in each province have been packed in boxes and are just waiting for orders to be transported there." Bi Maokang replied calmly, with a light tone that showed full confidence.

"Well, that's good. I hope there won't be any problems by then. Where is the logistics department? The national grain station system has been planned, right? Have the straight roads and Chi roads currently built been taken into account?" Finally, Sun Chengzong looked at the later governor.

Zuo Guangdou.

As an outsider, Zuo Guangdou was very low-key, dedicated to his work, and his down-to-earth attitude won praise from everyone. Just like from the time of the expedition, he had full control and made the entire logistics work smooth and smooth.

, it can be considered that he has established a firm foothold in the Governor's Mansion.

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, everything has been planned. The location of the large grain station has been determined. As for the small temporary grain station, it can be set up at any time." Zuo Guangdou answered with a hint of respect.

"That's good. After returning, each department will check the work again, confirm the personnel to be dispatched, and keep confidentiality. There is absolutely no room for any mistakes in this plan." Sun Chengzong stood up and solemnly warned.

"Yes!" the other four stood up and shouted. Although they were generally very old, they were very energetic.

"Okay, let's break up the meeting!"

This concludes the meeting at Wuying Hall.

Let our eyes follow the figure of the rider. As he keeps changing horses, time keeps passing and the distance gradually shortens.

From the capital to Zhangjiakou, then out of Dajingmen, he set foot on the gravel road. He galloped all the way without stopping. Although he was very tired, he gritted his teeth and persisted.

"This road doesn't seem to have existed before. Is it newly built this time?" The knight galloped on the gravel road on the withered yellow grass. The knight looked at the road under his feet in confusion.

Obviously, due to the constant traffic of horse-drawn carriages, the snow here has long melted, and it is muddy under trampling. However, with this road paved for you, it is much easier to walk, and the horse-drawn carriage is faster on it.

many.

The knights were riding fast, their fine horseshoes trampling on the gravel road, sparks bursting out from time to time, and the merchant convoys passing by on the road from time to time, after hearing the sound of bells in the distance, moved their cars out of the way.

Obviously, these traveling merchants knew that the messengers were not allowed to obstruct them, and those who violated the rules would be severely punished.

As we walked, we discovered that there were more teahouses and even a Yima Yuan post station on the side of the road. When the knight saw it, he felt happy in his heart. He came just in time and saved me some horsepower.

After riding the horse to the inn, the knight did not say anything. He took the horse prepared by the people inside and turned over to get scared. After walking for more than ten miles, a small town unexpectedly appeared. There was not a large population in the town.

But it was guarded by soldiers and horses, obviously guarding this road.

But these have nothing to do with the knight, he just wants to take a look.

With this measure of changing horses without changing people, the knights galloped from the capital to Guihua City in just five days.

At this time, Guihua City completely changed its appearance. It was much larger, and the blue stones were more obvious. The whole city looked green and green, becoming a veritable Qingcheng.

Scattered around are countless cattle and sheep, and rows of tall houses. The knight had seen houses like this in the capital. It was the weaving factory owned by Tiangong Company, where many eunuchs and maids were weaving and making clothes.

The knight has also been eyeing something recently. He wants to talk about a daughter-in-law. She has served the emperor in the palace. Although she made a small mistake and was kicked out, she has seen her real name and knows the words. If she marries her, she will definitely get a job.

Reach the emperor's dragon spirit and become a smart child.

Thinking of this, the knight bypassed the huge city and ran towards the foot of the mountain behind.

But far away, the knight felt a lively hustle and burning passion. Countless whistling sounds and countless muscle clashing sounds came continuously.

He looked around and saw that the foot of the mountain had become a huge sports venue. Countless people were screaming and shouting. It seemed that some with a large number of people were grabbing a ball with their feet, and some with fewer people were holding it.

They are playing with their hands, while others are racing, competing, or playing with muskets.
