"Come, give me a seat."

After Han Yu sat down, Zhu Youxiao did not go around the corner and asked indifferently: "I'm here today, but is there anything wrong?"

In fact, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to go around the corner, and he didn't have the time to pay attention to Han and the others.

After hearing this, Han Yu's heart tightened. He knew that the emperor didn't want to work, but he didn't expect that it was at this level. The emperor actually felt a little disgusted with his arrival.

This made Han Qin a little nervous.

However, after being together for so long, Han Yu also understood the emperor's temper. If his business was serious, there should be no problem.

Han Yu adjusted his attitude and said respectfully: "I came here today, I want to report something."

"Tell me." Zhu Youxiao nodded, leaned on the couch and waited for Han Du to speak.

"Your Majesty, I have received a lot of questions in the cabinet recently, all about the army." As he said, Han Yu looked at Zhu Youxiao carefully, with a little worried on his face and a little nervous.

After all, everyone in the Ming Dynasty knew that the emperor always valued military power very much, and today's emperors are even more so. They value their own military power more than anything else.

In terms of military power, the emperor did not allow anyone to interfere. No matter whether it is a noble or a civil servant, it is possible.

When Han Dong mentioned the issue of the army, he was more sensitive.

"Is that true? Let's talk about it." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said.

"It's all impeached the army for corruption and empty salary." Han Du looked at Zhu Youxiao and said, "Your Majesty's anti-corruption campaign in Jiangnan has caused a lot of storms recently. Many people in the army have seen the opportunity, so they sent the question book."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao was stunned. This was something he had not expected.

Speaking of which, the Ming Dynasty was very serious, and this has been like this since a long time ago. It is very common for the army to eat empty salary and embezzle military salary. Even Qi Jiguang did this, and it was something that both the government and the country knew.

If you give you a full 100,000, it would be great if you could have 50,000 people. The rest are the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and the empty salary. Some of them are not warriors. The army that can really fight is probably only 10,000 or 20,000.

Everyone knows this kind of thing, and everyone in the government and the public knows it. In addition to the army, there are civil servants who embezzle money.

Zhu Youxiao didn't expect Han Dong to bring up this matter, and he came in person, so it was interesting.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Han Chu for a while and began to think about what he was thinking.

For the Chief Minister of the Cabinet, you don’t easily participate in this kind of thing; even if you participate, you will ask your subordinates to try the direction of the wind first, rather than running to the emperor by yourself.

There is a problem here, and Zhu Youxiao thinks this is unusual.

Do you want to preside over the military reform? Does Han Yu still have this courage?

In fact, Zhu Youxiao was right. Han Dong thought so. He just wanted to preside over the military reform. This thing was not what Han Dong wanted to do himself, but he had to do it.

There are not many opportunities now. After the emperor dealt with so many people, there are not many problems left in the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone can see that, let alone a smart person like Han Du?

Your Majesty has such a great talent and strategy, and reform is certain. It is impossible to allow such abscess to continue to bleed the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Guangqi of the cabinet has always been a staunch supporter of military reform. He had already started training troops before he became a Grand Secretary. He was very dissatisfied with the imperial military system and hoped that the imperial court could recruit troops.

Xu Guangqi became much more stable in the two years of training for recruits, on the one hand, because Zhu Youxiao was cleaning up, and on the other hand, because the court and central government were relatively chaotic.

But now it has been stable for eight years, and the emperor suddenly took action to deal with a large number of merchants. The country has become rich and the politics has also become stable. Under such circumstances, military reform is about to begin.

Smart people can already see this step, so they must prepare for the future.

Once Xu Guangqi presided over the military reform, Han Dong, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, would probably not be far away.

Under such circumstances, how could Han Ge sit down?

He was very nervous.

The military reform can only be presided over by civil servants. After all, this is an offensive matter. The staff officer can only cooperate from one side, and it is absolutely impossible to dominate. Otherwise, it will damage their authority and lead to conflicts between superiors and subordinates, which will be difficult to manage in the future.

The cabinet is the best candidate for military reform. Among the cabinet, Xu Guangqi is the best candidate.

If you want to fight for power, you must take the initiative. Under such circumstances, Han Yu came directly to the palace. He didn't want to wait anymore, and he couldn't wait any longer.

Apart from the army, there was not much left in the Ming Dynasty. If he was asked to preside over the reform of civil servants, it would be a big problem.

Judging from the emperor’s actions over the years, tax reform is definitely the next step, and the focus is on the integration of officials and gentry.

You should know that the nobles, honorary relatives and royal families have already paid taxes, and only civil servants are left, which is very annoying. If the emperor wants to move, he will definitely find someone to do it.

Han Yu didn't want to take on this matter, so he had to find another thing to take on, so he chose the military reform.

I am a civil servant and I am not afraid of offending the military bosses. I cannot let my subordinates do this. If I don’t have enough weight, I have to do it more directly.

Zhu Youxiao could probably guess what Han Dong was thinking, but after thinking about it, he put this matter behind his mind.

It doesn't matter. Han Dongai can think whatever he wants, as long as this thing can be done.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Han Yu and asked, "I don't know what I want to do?"

"Your Majesty's investigation in Jiangnan can be said to be shocking and inspiring. The government and the country admire and impress, which is a good thing for the people of the Ming Dynasty."

"Your Majesty has a great kindness and has a vast range of people. The military households in the army are naturally among them. Now generals at all levels drink blood from soldiers and oppress the military households, making their lives worse than those of the stove households. These military households have made meritorious service for the Ming Dynasty and their ancestors shed blood for the Ming Dynasty. They should not have such treatment. Now the court's life is better, and they should be better."

Han Yu said with a righteous look, and Zhu Youxiao's face became serious.

Obviously, Han Dong also did a lot of preparations, and he has also investigated these things. This is a good place to be prepared.

"What I said makes sense." Zhu Youxiao said in particular: "Now many military households have become private slaves of generals. This is not good, it is not good for the world, nor for the Ming Dynasty. So I have anything I want to say or do, but it doesn't matter."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Han Yu agreed and felt relieved.

He knew he had bet right.

Han Dong continued: "I want to carry out a major purge in the army, thoroughly investigate the corruption of the generals, and buy a bright blue sky for the military households so that they can feel the kindness of His Majesty!"

Han Du's tone is rare and his words are serious, so it can be seen that he is ready to do it.

Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief, sat upright and said, "I also know that what I said makes sense, but these things are not something that happened overnight. We need to plan them well."

"I plan to use troops in Liaodong recently, and the war will begin early next year. This year, we must make good preparations, mobilize food and grass, build weapons, and train people."

"When the war in Liaodong is over, I want to start this matter, so my dear can make a plan first."

In fact, this is Zhu Youxiao’s plan, and military reforms will be after the Battle of Liaodong.

First of all, the border will be stable and there will be no problems. Even if there is any problem with military reform, there will be no major problems.

Secondly, once Liaodong wins, you can establish your own prestige.

Although my current prestige is high, it is still a bit weak.

Why are Emperor Chengzu and Zhu Yuanzhang so prestige?

The reason is very simple. Zhu Yuanzhang was the founding king of the country. He defeated the world. This is how he achieved prestige.

Although Zhu Di rebelled, he swept the Mobei so many times, and he was a big victory every time. Under such circumstances, his prestige naturally increased.

To put it bluntly, all prestige is achieved.

The power is ahead, and the view is behind. Prestige and prestige must be regarded as prestige first.

After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Han Yu's heart moved. He didn't expect that the emperor would start a war in Liaodong.

But this is also a good thing. Once the war starts in Liaodong, there will be more things you can do, and it will push the Ming Dynasty into a prosperous era.

After all, only Jiannu, who dared to challenge the Ming Dynasty for so many years, would be fine after knocking them down.

This is said that the Mongols are simply shaking trees with swaying and overestimating their abilities. After fighting for so many years, what achievements have they made?

After the entire Liaodong area is recovered, you can continue to expand westward. At that time, there will be no problem in regaining Daning and continuing to go westward.

In recent years, the court's trade in northern Xinjiang has been developing very quickly. Although Han Yu's family did not have business in the north, as the chief minister of the cabinet, he naturally knew very well that many people in the court made a lot of money and they supported the war in northern Xinjiang.

Now the price of wool spinning is getting higher and higher, and the price of cashmere is also very high. These people are almost red-eyed and can't wait to go to the grassland to surround the grassland, and can't wait to catch some Mongolians to be slaves.

The price of slaves who have known how to grazed in recent years has increased.

Han Dong knew that as long as the war started, he would gain support from the government and the opposition. As the chief minister of the cabinet who presided over the battle, he would not have to say whether he had any credit or not, at least his status would be consolidated.

Han Yu stood up, tidied his clothes respectfully, knelt down on the ground and said, "My emperor's wiseness! The prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty begins with Your Majesty!"

Recently, the ministers are becoming more and more able to speak, and Zhu Youxiao is in a good mood.

"Your dear, please don't give me a gift!" Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Wei Chao will help you get Han Aiqing up."
