Such an obvious major event in Nanjing City's change of hands is well known to everyone in the local area, so the eunuch who was there was a memorial worker and soon sent the news back to Wuchang.
People felt a little sudden when they heard the news, but they were also expected, but they didn't expect it to be so soon.
As usual, the Huguang cabinet gathered in the lobby to discuss and exchange opinions.
When Zhang Ning arrived, the day was already high. Today was a sunny day and the weather was relatively hot.
There were three ministers sitting on the chair, all of whom were much older than Zhang Ning, each with fans.
The easiest thing to notice is Zhu Heng. He actually held a palm-leaf fan, which was something that the old men in the town often took under the trees to enjoy the cool air. Now he was holding it in the hands of a bureaucrat wearing red official uniforms and black veils. How he looked abrupt?
Zhu Heng was the most irreverent person present. His beard looked messy, his temples were combed with fur and not very neatly. He probably had a slave to wash the clothes on his body cleanly but a little wrinkled.
And Yang Shiqi and Zheng Qia both have graceful demeanors.
After the three of them stood up to greet each other, they waited for Zhang Ning to take a seat on the left first, and everyone sat down.
Zheng Qia swung casually and threw out a paper fan to paint a mountain and ink painting, with a poem on it.
Zhang Ning was still the same, speaking neatly, speaking clearly but speaking faster but not much calm temperament. He said directly: Today, there are three issues, and you can talk in person with any words to everyone.First, the progress of expanding troops; second, the fiscal budget; third, our next strategy after Nanzhili fell into the hands of the government army.
Zhu Heng flipped through the file at hand and said first: From the soldiers reported from various places, as long as the laws we promised in the early stage are implemented, at least 100,000 people can be recruited from the fifteen prefectures and counties in Huguang within two months.In addition, the Ministry of Revenue sent someone to check the food and grass in the treasury in various places. There was no shortage of food and grass, and now it was mainly short of money, with a shortage of gold, silver and copper, so it was impossible to pay for military invoices.Officials and soldiers were forced to use scrolls, and they already had complaints because they were difficult to circulate and purchase goods on the market. Merchants who deal with the government were naturally unwilling to accept the paper we printed, and they were not welcome to pay in kind, and it was even hard to calculate the account, and it was still useful for gold, silver and copper.
Yang Shiqi continued: Baochao has been abolished in Huguang and other places, and the market is short of money; the local government has decided that the taxes of the Ministry of Revenue will arouse the dissatisfaction of the people and can only smoke the physical goods.I have investigated the reason because Huguang lacks mine and is also at the time when Baochao is ineffective.There are only Yunnan's copper mines in the nearest place, but the distance is too far and the water cannot save the nearby fire.
Is there any way to maintain the cost of adding 100,000 new personnel?Zhang Ning asked.
Yang Shiqi said: For the current plan, we can only start from the salt administration to solve the urgent problem.The salaries of officials and soldiers were paid with tickets and in-kind goods; when purchasing military supplies from merchants, salt tickets were paid, and merchants took salt tickets to the craftsmen to receive salt and sold.At the same time, local inspections are ordered to strictly investigate private salt, and use heavy punishments to deter the salt administration to ensure the implementation of salt administration.
When Zhang Ning heard this, he remembered that one dollar per pack of salt in later generations was not something that ordinary people value. Now it is more expensive, and salt sellers and drug trafficking are as dangerous as those who sell drugs...
In the past, the people in Taohua Villa were mainly doing their own lives, which was mainly trafficking in private salt.
The official monopoly on salt administration has become an important financial component for those in power.
Now we don’t care whether this kind of salt administration is reasonable or not. At least some of the financial problems can be solved, so we cannot give up.
Zhang Ning felt that he should follow the methods used by the previous rulers, so he immediately agreed with the suggestions of Yang Shiqi and others.
While listening to several people, he took out the booklet and took notes. The clerk who usually didn't make a special arrangement for notes had to do it himself.
Because the various affairs in each yamen are numerous and trivial, if they are not recorded and classified in detail, he will not be able to figure it out if he accumulates it.
Zhu Heng also said: After the north is pacified by the southern Zhili, troops must be gathered to arrange them westward.Jiangxi is adjacent to Nanzhili, and there is no danger to defend, and it is the greatest threat.As I see, we should adopt the strategy of operating the Yangtze River defense and advancing attacks to the east.If the war on the Eastern Front is profitable, our army can further encroach on the southern Zhili, and the overall situation will be opened. We will truly control the south of the Yangtze River and form a situation of landing the river and governing it.
I will discuss it.Yang Shiqi said.
Yang Shiqi said: Since ancient times, there was a king in Jinling. Taizu was in Yingtian Prefecture when he rose up and lived in Yingtian Prefecture, so that he could send troops from all directions to attack the left and right.Our army should first attack Nanjing, then visit Jianghuai, and then rely on the Grand Canal to go north, and then directly threaten the capital.This victory situation.
Zhang Ning did not immediately make a statement in this matter. He had to wait for letters from Yao Fang in Yuezhou and Zhou Mengxiong in Lizhou, at least look at their position first.
Zheng Qiao said nothing about this on the spot. Zhang Ning thought that if Yao Zhou and the others made the opposite opinions...
If you agree to two cabinet ministers on both sides, then Zheng Qia will be useful. At that time, you can meet Zheng Qia privately and convince him to express his opinion according to Zhang Ning's own wishes.
In this way, the major strategy was agreed upon through discussion and approval by most cabinet ministers. Zhang Ning did not have the arbitrary approach, so there would be less help in theory.
Zheng Qiao did not talk about the strategy of advancing, and then changed the topic and talked about the affairs of the Ministry of Rites. He proposed that the provincial examination of the Ensembler could be held this fall and the juren was selected with Jianwen's edict.
The battle has not been completed yet, and it is not certain who is the legal government of the Ming Dynasty. The fact that Kaienke is not very important.
If the Huguang regime is defeated, can those who have won fame and fortune in the Jianwen regime be recognized?
...After the discussion, Yang Shiqi and others left the lobby and had to stay in the cabinet until noon, and then go to their respective six ministries to handle official duties in the afternoon. This is their daily itinerary.
There is an ear room on the side of the conference hall, called Zanzheng Pavilion, which is usually a place for the chief officials and clerks to facilitate their participation in official records.
However, there is a woman in Zanzheng Pavilion here, which is Xia Yu, one of the four regular attendants of the eunuch.
Although there was a curtain covering the door of the ear room, all the officials knew her existence...
The Inner Palace's gangster government affairs was a new rule after the delay in the intelligence of the imperial court from Sichuan to Jingzhou last year.
The Escort Provincial Department has a detailed organization to inquire about intelligence, so that they can send people to understand the government affairs strategy and better serve the central government.
After the cabinet ministers left, Xia Yu also came out of his ear room and followed Zhang Ning through the corridor.
Zhang Ning felt that she had something to say, so she stepped back from the corner and let Xia Yu follow her in the corridor of the inner house.
As expected, she called out from behind: Please stay.
Zhang Ning turned around and waited for her to talk about it.
I saw that this girl was tall, dressed and behaved well, and had a pretty face.
But for some reason, many women lack a kind of charm and femininity in Zhang Ning's eyes, and they usually don't realize what is the difference between them. For example, this is the case with Xia Yu. He will not have any thoughts when he sees her talking in broad daylight.
She whispered: Chunmei has something to ask her subordinates to tell the prince.Yesterday, a servant of Yu Qian returned to Wuchang from Jiangxi and may have brought letters home.
After hearing this, Zhang Ning said calmly: I understand.
Yu Qian's letter should have been brought to Dong.
After he went to Jiangxi to take office, his wife did not go with her; Zhang Ning didn't know how to encourage Dong to monitor her, so this matter could not be done too clearly.
However, Yu Qian had letters with his family, which was also a kind of connection.
Not long ago, Zhang Ning wanted to see Dong again. The excuse he was thinking about was to find out her from time to time, but he couldn't deceive himself in his heart. For some reason, he just simply wanted to see her.
But last time Zhang Ning asked her to meet in a villa on the bank of Shahu Lake, but she broke the appointment and did not meet.
Zhang Ning was thinking about why Dong didn't want to meet. After the tryst in the theater, she said that she had nothing to do with each other and would never meet again. Of course, he didn't believe it, and at most he treated it as a joke of being angry and coquettish...
Perhaps this kind of secret date is indeed affair and adultery in Dong's opinion. She is a person influenced by ethics, which should be very stressful.
This time Xia Yu brought news, it was not a special thing for Yu Qian to bring his family's letter back. Zhang Ning originally planned to put it aside, but he always thought of this from time to time in the cabinet study.
Just after the Wei Shi (it was around 3:00 p.m.) He left the cabinet office and asked the Taohua Fairy to find Lai Chunmei.
Last time I had a tryst with Dong in the theater, the only person who knew about it was Chunmei. She followed and monitored her all the time under Yao Ji's order, so there was no need to hide it from her.
Moreover, if Zhang Ning wants to do business, he needs to go alone. It is best to find Chunmei to save more people from knowing his personal relationship.
This girl is worthy of being a general who has climbed up from an illegal cult and is very efficient in doing things.In less than an hour, she came back and asked Zhang Ning and him to go out immediately, and there was already an arrangement.
Chunmei dressed in gray cloth, pretended to be a groom, and drove a carriage to take Zhang Ning out of the Chu Palace.She had no obstacles in and out of the palace.
The two took a car south, passed Wuchang Mansion and Fuqian Street, and then walked one street and stopped outside the Chenghuang Temple.
At this time, there were a lot of people outside the City God Temple. I saw a stream of people carrying a clay man and a paper-made magic weapon, beating drums and drums, and Taoist priests paraded the streets while singing lyrics.
Zhang Ning asked Chunmei what was going on. She said it was a ritual made by the gentry in the city who collected money to sacrifice to the Yin God for good weather; and said that Dong would come here to watch the fun in a while.
Zhang Ning asked her how she learned, but at this time, the parade was passing by, and the gongs and drums were beating too loudly and nothing could be heard.
After waiting for a long time, Chunmei suddenly opened the curtain in front and said to Zhang Ning in the carriage: Come on, look to the left.
Zhang Ning looked in the direction she pointed, and found Dong.She also brought a girl with a bamboo basket next to her, watching the excitement on the street while walking, as if she didn't know Zhang Ning's existence.
That servant is really in the way.Chunmei said with a smile.Then he discussed with Zhang Ning in a low voice.
The two got off the carriage, threw the carriage and horses on the side of the road, and walked straight towards Dong.
People felt a little sudden when they heard the news, but they were also expected, but they didn't expect it to be so soon.
As usual, the Huguang cabinet gathered in the lobby to discuss and exchange opinions.
