Chapter 61 Guo Deng arrived

Sometimes, Zhu Qizhen must convene a meeting or summon different ministers to solicit opinions separately before he can draw a conclusion by himself.

This is enough to make Zhu Qizhen tired.

If Zhu Qizhen was asked to report secretly on a large scale, he would not be able to handle it himself, either he would have to set up a secretary team to handle it or distribute these matters to the cabinet.

If it is distributed to the cabinet, what is it called a secret copy?

If you have another secretary team, you will be able to insulate the cabinet unless you use eunuchs.

Don’t underestimate the influence of the cabinet bosses. If you pick people from the Hanlin Academy, do you really think that the emperor doesn’t let them know, then they won’t know?

childish.

Zhu Qizhen has been suppressing eunuchs.

The eunuch is really loyal, and doing other things is really not enough to succeed or fail. Moreover, the emperor takes the blame for everything he does.

Although civil servants are also thousand-year-old foxes, they would rather fight smart people than talk to stupid people.

There are not no smart people among eunuchs, but there are more stupid people.

More often, once you get to the top, you don’t know who you are.

Compared with them, Wang Zhen is already smart enough. But compared with the civil servants, Wang Zhen is worried about his IQ.

Unless the emperor keeps protecting him and pulls the strait, no eunuch is the opponent of the civil servant.

Zhu Qizhen was sick and kept looking for a teammate of pigs, so the eunuchs were at ease in the palace and at most they were doing some errands in the Shaofu.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen didn't know what level of workload Yongzheng used to maintain this, or he found someone to do it.

But Zhu Qizhen is already 007 and actually doesn't want to be exhausted.

Therefore, secret boxes are rarely sent out.

Similarly, things are precious because they are rare, and only a few people who really have this power, such as Yu Qian, the prince, and Jiang Yuan.

There are very few court officials, because as long as the Ming Dynasty officials reach a certain level, they only need to see each other. Zhu Qizhen is missing, but they just queue up according to their official positions.

For example, the Grand Secretary can meet at any time, and the Shangshu is behind the Grand Secretary, and the Minister must first report to the palace gate, and then send someone to wait at the palace gate every day. When you arrive, you will send someone to notify you.

As for the Minister below?

Unless you take office as a new official, or return to Beijing after serving as a foreign official, you will meet the emperor in a mess, just wait. Maybe half a year later, it will be your turn.

The so-called overstep is to let the official meet directly without queuing up.

Many ministers are super players who meet more and more times, so most of the fifth-rank officials can only meet the emperor in the morning court. If something really matters, they can only make noises in the morning court.

Although the morning court ceremony is seriously ceremonial, it is not impossible for you to report things in the morning court, but it just makes things worse in an instant.

As for those under the fifth rank, they could only beat the drum before, but now they can try to publish it on Ming Pao. Only these two ways can reach the Heavenly Ting.

Otherwise, you can only report it layer by layer.

I won’t say much about how false the king and the ministers got along with Zhu Qizhen and Xu Youzhen.

But Guo Deng finally arrived in the capital after winter.

And he was naturally one of the members he met again.

After Zhu Qizhen summoned Guo Deng, he first asked about Daning's situation.

Guo Deng said: "Your Majesty, now the Mongolian people in the south of the desert live and work in peace, cattle and sheep are everywhere, and the people are happy and forget their worries. The Mongolians are willing to die without hesitation."

"It's just that there's a hint of worry."

Zhu Qizhen felt very relieved. After all, the rule of Mongolia in the south of the desert was set up by Zhu Qizhen. He felt very accomplished at this moment.

In fact, there is no need to mention Guo Deng, Zhu Qizhen also knows a lot about the situation in Mongolia in the south of the desert.

Duanmurui did a pretty good job.

But Duanmurui was not from the imperial examination after all, and had a natural ceiling and was able to serve as a governor in one place. It was already an extreme opportunity. It was impossible to be promoted again.

Otherwise, neither the Cabinet nor the Ministry of Personnel would be willing.

Of course, unless there are some hardships and places that many ministers are unwilling to go, Duanmurui will be divided.

Moreover, with the help of the silage law and the unlimited trade support from the inner city, Mongolia in the south of the desert has recovered very well. Whether it is the population or the number of cattle and sheep, it has grown quite well over the years.

The only thing that made Zhu Qizhen feel a little regretful is that although wool textiles have made great progress, they still cannot enter the elegant hall. However, many people in the border areas use wool as a warm filling, which is good.

The problem in Chapter 7 is that the wool has a scent of sheep, which is particularly unpleasant, but poor families don't care about this.

The Chinese people are very hardworking and economical. They will not waste things. Although these wool textile cloths cannot be worn directly on their bodies, some people have developed various functions.

It is just an example of using cotton.

Many of them are beyond imagination.

This is also how Zhu Qizhen can comfort himself. Although I have not created mature wool textiles, I don’t know whether it is a sheep’s human problem or a human problem, the people can expand the scope of use of wool products bit by bit, so that wool can become an important part of the economy outside the border.

The goal can also be achieved.

There are also the number of horses in the south of the desert, which has exceeded one million.

That is, the total number of horses on the list in Daning, Kaiping and Dongsheng is not included in the horse farms in Liaodong, Haixi, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Mobei and other places.

Zhu Qizhen, who had been short of horses, felt a little relieved. The total number of horses in the Ming Dynasty should be around 1.5 million. Of course, this is just an official horse.

And it is still breeding rapidly.

After a few years, Zhu Qizhen attacked the Western Regions again, the problem of horses was not a problem. He could allow hundreds of thousands of troops to march on horseback. After solving the problem of horses, there would be no problem in the Western Regions at all.

But now Guo Deng suddenly said that there were hidden worries, but Zhu Qizhen felt a little sad. He thought about it carefully. When he received news from Mongolia in the south of the Mo River, it was all good news, and there were few people who reported bad news. What kind of thing should Guo Deng say.

Zhu Qizhen said: "What happened?"

Guo Deng said: "Your Majesty, there may not be anything happening now, but I don't know after a long time. As the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, I have to say it for Your Majesty first."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Tell me."

Guo Deng said: "After the great defeat of Wasan, His Majesty established three towns and moved Xuanda border troops into the three towns. The total border troops of the three towns were about 100,000, and the total number of Mongolian divisions was one million."

"At that time, there were many farms to Anbian Army. Some people accompanied them to settle down."

"It's just that the grassland doesn't have to be promoted. It's difficult to farm in many places. Most of the places that can be farmed are already occupied by garrisons, and many places still have people going north."

"I think if I continue, I may invade the desert south."

After hearing this, Zhu Qizhen said in his heart: "This is a problem."

Zhu Qizhen had never considered grassland ecology before.

After all, controlling the grassland is what he wants to think about, not his own things, so he thinks about so much and does what he does.

But now it’s different. The south of the Mo is already the court, so we naturally need to have a long-term stability. Whether the grassland can be cultivated is the answer that some places can do it.

For example, it is okay to plant some food next to some rivers.

After all, the annual output of Lingbei Province in the Yuan Dynasty was 230,000 stones. Although the quantity was not large, it could also show the feasibility. In the north of Mo, this is the case, let alone Mo.

But some places can do it, but more places cannot.

Grassland ecological destruction is easy, but it is difficult to recover.

Zhu Qizhen also cited some other problems, namely the conflict between agriculture and animal husbandry, or the contradiction between host and guest. After the imperial court controlled the south of the desert, a large number of people followed the army north to seek life. Zhu Qizhen also acquiesced and even enjoyed it.

After all, Zhu Qizhen could not completely trust the Mongols.

However, any place where you can farm on the grassland is a place where water and grass are abundant, and it is also the best grassland for the Mongolians. Thinking with your toes, there will be conflicts between both sides.

In addition, there can be bloody hatred between the border people and Mongolia. All kinds of contradictions and hatreds are difficult to resolve.

When Zhu Qizhen thought it through, he felt a little headache. He gently pressed his temple with his thumb. He had long been accustomed to this feeling. After all, in the world, most of the things that could make him know were headaches.
