Chapter 173: Talent
Emperor Aoki felt like he had been dropped into a pit.
But Guan Shaoning seemed to have not stopped and continued, saying, "There are thirty-one blacksmiths and fifty-two carpenters. In addition, there are 73 craftsmen of all kinds. Among them, there are 65 …"
The more Emperor Tianqi heard it, the more frightened he became. Next, he looked very serious and began to listen carefully.
Guan Shaoning seemed to have just finished speaking, and then said, "There are several most difficult places to settle now. First, the elderly, many of them are separated from their relatives, so the county has to take on the next task. There are so many males, how should they be resettled? The students have contacted merchants in Qingpingfang and tried their best to hire people. The project at the mentor's family has recently recruited 500 people, and the other is, there may be some civil servants to choose from in the Happiness Garden. The males can be reduced by two or three thousand, and the remaining... are distributed land. Most of the land here is relatively deserted. Let them reclaim land, but how can they get the farm tools?"
Even Sun Chengzong was shocked by his words. Sun Chengzong couldn't help but glance at Huang Liji.
Huang Liji suddenly felt that he was humiliated. What's the point? I mean I am not as good as a tribute?
However... Huang Liji also looked at Sun Chengzong with contempt.
Generally speaking, if it were your Sun Chengzong, you were afraid that you would be here, but that would be the case. If you laugh at each other with fifty steps, why bother hurting each other?
Emperor Aoki couldn't help but say, "Did you remember it all?"
"Yes, the students remember it." Guan Shaoning said: "If you can't remember it, many things will not be able to be carried out."
Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but say, "I think it's not difficult to come here, Liu Qing's family..."
At this time, when he suddenly heard His Majesty call him, Liu An couldn't help but tremble. He hurriedly stepped forward and said aiyi: "I...I...I am here."
Emperor Tianqi said: "Come on, come and tell him how many refugees are there in Daxing County?"
Liu An: “…”
"Hmm?" Emperor Aoki said, "You are talking."
In fact, Liu An was pretty good in the impression of Emperor Tianqi, but now, Liu An was just trembling and said for a long time: "Maybe... there may be 20,000, or... there may be 10,000 people... ministers... ministers..."
Emperor Aoki was immediately angry: "In this way, you not only don't know how many refugees there are, but also how many men and women there are?"
"This...this..." Liu An said: "This...this...this...this doesn't know."
"Does the old and weak know?"
"I... I'm dying..." Liu An knelt on the ground with a depressed look on his face.
He felt extremely sad. This was a crime of non-war. He knew how he had encountered such a pervert.
Emperor Tianqi was shocked: "You don't know how many people are serving porridge?"
"My...My..." Liu An lowered his head, and was speechless.
Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but say, "Then Zhang Qing family, Zhang Qing family, you are the prefect of Shuntian."
Zhang Yang was very straightforward and fell to the ground without saying a word: "I don't know."
Emperor Tianqi was stunned. He didn't expect that there was such a straightforward person among his ministers.
But in fact, whether it was Zhang Yang or Liu An, although they were very nervous, now... they are convinced.
Along the way, the refugees were wearing new clothes, shelter from the wind and rain, food and clean water. They originally claimed that they had outstanding political achievements, but now after comparison, they realized that their political achievements were simply a joke in front of others.
If you have reached this point, what else can you make a defense?
Emperor Tianqi looked at the two of them and was so angry that he couldn't speak. Then his eyes fell on Guan Shaoning: "It seems... the Qing family has great talents."
Guan Shaoning shook his head: "This is not a talent, it's just learning from his mentor. His mentor often teaches him, so he has made some progress."
"Where is your mentor?"
"This... the student doesn't know."
Emperor Tianqi was so heavy that he was most surprised that he was not just the order here, but the cleanliness of the place.
This kind of cleanliness does not give people the feeling of a group of refugees who are worse than beggars.
Instead, I feel that everyone here is no different from ordinary people.
Even these refugees pay great attention to their external image and try their best to make their clothes neatly.
This is completely different from the impression given to him by refugees in Daxing County.
It's like a heaven and a underground.
Emperor Tianqi could only glar at Zhang Yang and Liu An.
At this time, Guan Shaoning had already invited Emperor Tianqi and others to sit in his public room. Then, he said hello and said that there was still businessman, so he would come when he went. On the other side, he asked someone to invite Zhang Jingyi to come.
Zhang Jingyi came after two incense sticks.
As soon as he saw Emperor Tianqi, Zhang Jingyi was surprised and said, "Why did Your Majesty come here?"
"I'll see you." Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "I have always been worried about whether the refugees will cause trouble when they arrive in the capital. Now that I have a new county, I feel much more relieved. Your disciple Guan Shaoning is very strange..."
He said something strange, but his face betrayed himself. To be honest... he was a little envious.
Zhang Jing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I am here to provide relief. It is because Your Majesty loves the people as much as my son, so the ministers are desperate! This is all your Majesty's kindness. What does it have to do with your ministers? The so-called eating the king's fortune and loyalty to the king, that's all. This is what you should do, and there is nothing to praise."
Emperor Tianqi was even more frustrated when he heard this.
Look, this is the real way to govern the world and be a parent and official.
Then, he couldn't help but fall from the corner of his eyes on Zhang Yang and Liu An.
Just these two people... Sun Chengzong just said specifically, Your Majesty should not blame them. They have done a good job. How could everyone in this world be like Xinxian?
What this said... Emperor Tianqi was displeased. Is it appropriate to do this? Because this is the case in the world, these people casually mixed sand porridge with the refugees, and then claimed to be outstanding in political achievements. Can they still feel at ease?
This is how people are. I have never seen Xinxian. Emperor Tianqi is probably quite satisfied, but now I think Shuntian Prefecture and Daxing County are just jokes.
"Guan Shaoning...Guan Shaoning..." Emperor Tianqi repeatedly muttered: "This boy has great talent and great talent, Zhang Qing, you have taught a good disciple."
Zhang Jingyi actually wanted to be polite, but then, Emperor Tianqi suddenly said: "How can I rule the world? I have ascended the throne for so many years, or, who are the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, aren't I looking for a prescription for great governance? But after pursuing so many years, how can the world be treated? The so-called great governance is just a disaster. If you feed the victims two mouthfuls of porridge and water, you won't let too many people starve to death in this place thousands of miles away, it's considered a great treatment. But what's the use of such a great treatment?"
The more he said, the more he felt colder, and he stood up and said with great emotion: "This time, I really opened my eyes."
Zhang Jingyi thought to himself, this is of course, and she doesn’t think about who I, Zhang Jingyi, is!
But he said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, I... I have not done enough in many places... I will definitely change it in the future."
Zhang Yang and Liu An, who were standing aside, wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it.
To be precise, every time Zhang Jingyi said modestly, they wanted to die once. Standing here, they were simply publicly executed by Zhang Jingyi.
Emperor Tianqi was filled with emotion at this time: "I have visited several private times these days, and everything I see and hear is shocking. I really didn't expect that... the people of our Ming Dynasty were so miserable. They all said that I am the king and father of the people of the world, but my people have not seen them live a good life. I used to be indifferent to this, but now I have felt ashamed. If all the prefectures and counties in the world are like new counties, why would I have such shame and worry?"
As he said that, he shook his head and said seriously: "The court should immediately commend Xinxian. I want to make this Xinxian a role model for all prefectures and counties in the world. Not only that... Xinxian provides relief to the people. If there is any request, I will give it to you."
Zhang Jingyi cheered up and looked at Emperor Tianqi and said, "Actually... I really have a reluctant request."
Emperor Aoki said proudly: "You said that."
Zhang Jingyi said: "Now there are more and more disaster victims, especially the strong men, there are more and more. I have always been thinking that these victims in Guanzhong are willing to endure hardships and work hard. When they come to the capital at this time, they are also grateful to Your Majesty... Now Xinxian cannot accommodate the continuous refugees, why not... recruit a military horse in this Xinxian? What I mean is... recruit a tiger and wolf army, not an ordinary garrison."
The Tiger and Wolf Teacher...
Emperor Tianqi never found Zhang Jingyi to propose this, but he believed that Zhang Jingyi must have his reasons, so he looked solemn and said, "What are you recruiting the tiger and wolf army?"
Zhang Jingyi said seriously: "The Jiannu rages Liaodong and has always been a big trouble for my Ming Dynasty. This Jiannu gallops through Liaodong for thousands of miles and is known to be undefeated. I think... Liaodong cannot be achieved by blind defense alone. My Ming Dynasty should have an elite soldier who is comparable to Jiannu in the field. In this way, we can sweep the caves and plow the courtyard and ensure that our Ming Dynasty has no worries."
Hearing this...
Emperor Apocalypse was shocked.
Even Sun Chengzong, who had always known the background of Liaodong, was shocked.
He Zhang Jingyi...is very funny!
