Then after the two discussed the matter of rewarding silver, the next thing Chongzhen wanted to talk about was how to help the victims, including further improving people's livelihood and revitalizing the economy.
(Although Yang Shanlu mentioned just now that if you do it well, you can get some money to help the victims, but Chongzhen knows very well that he needs to pay more attention at this time, because the disaster is more serious than he thought...)
It's like when he was in Liaodong before, he didn't have a clear understanding of the drought that occurred, but after he returned to the capital, he knew that the disaster was more serious than he thought! Even the vast areas of Liangji, Shandong, Henan, Zhejiang, and Huguang have suffered severe droughts! (Liangji means Liangjing).
Even the first good place like Beijing has been severely affected... That is all the refugees everywhere!
It was like when he entered the city that day, he saw a group of refugees on both sides of the official road! And it's all the kind of ragged clothes that drag the family away! Obviously, I can't live anymore locally!
Including later, there were statistics sent by Shuntian Mansion, which shocked him... Now there are nearly 300,000 refugees in the entire capital!
And this is already a terrible number! You know that the population of the entire capital is only about one million, but what about now? Refugees have accounted for nearly 30% of the total population! Even if one is not good, there will be gangsters everywhere, so this is already an imminent problem!
Of course, Chongzhen also knows that the relief of the victims can be linked to the development of people's livelihood. For example, the previous Shanxi Great Governance is the best proof! So now, of course he has to rush to discuss with Yang Shanlu.
Yang Shanlu was also prepared for this. He smiled slightly when he heard it and said, "The emperor, then specifically, do you have any regulations?"
"Yes, I have thought about it -" Chongzhen said quickly: "At the moment, Dongnu is almost flat, and you have this ability to govern the country, so I have already thought about it and appoint you as a minister of imperial power. Patrol hunting, govern the people's livelihood in the world! In other words, except for remote places such as Yunnan and Guizhou, all other provinces will be governed by you!"
"That's it..." After Yang Shanlu listened, he was still very touched. It seems that this emperor man really trusts himself wholeheartedly... This is almost the meaning of entrusting all the belongings! But Yang Shanlu understood that even if Chongzhen was willing, he could not agree to it.
After all, if you want to manage such a big stall, you can't just talk about it! (In addition to the two capitals, Daming has 13 provinces, and then looking at Chongzhen's meaning, at least let him manage ten provinces), that requires the corresponding human and material resources to invest! Otherwise, if the stall is too big and the steps are too big, it will fail!
These examples can be seen in the Giant Group of later generations. After all, Yang Shanlu Chuanchuan used to sell insurance before and belonged to marketing experts. He has a deep understanding of this.
Of course, Yang Shanlu also knows that if there are too few provinces to be governed, it will not work, and it will not really improve the people's livelihood in the world! And to put it bluntly, in the current era, Yang Shanlu doesn't think there is anyone who can do better than him! After all, in this respect, he has three hundred years of insight and vision...
So after thinking about it, Yang Shanlu came up with the plan he had envisaged: "The emperor, if you want the minister to pick up such a heavy burden at once, it will definitely not work-it is easy to flash the waist! So according to the minister You can proceed like this first."
Speaking of Yang Shanlu, he walked to the west wall, pointed to a national map hung there, and said: "Since the emperor has such a high regard for the ministers, the ministers dare to speak, according to the ideas of the ministers, Weichen can first govern the four provinces of Shandong, Huguang, Henan, and Shaanxi."
"Then we had these four provinces in the early stage, plus Shanxi, which was already under the administration of the ministers, and now we have five provinces, almost covering the entire central plains! So as long as these places are well managed, we can say I have no worries, Daming!"
"Really?" After hearing this, Chongzhen hurriedly walked to the map and began to look at it carefully. Then after he listened to Yang Shanlu's explanation, Chongzhen knew that he was a little impatient again... The old problem! The so-called haste but not fast is not beautiful.
Moreover, he had to admit that, as Yang Shanlu said, from the perspective of a game of chess across the country, Shandong and Shaanxi, these four provinces, were originally the places with the most severe disasters, and they were in the heart of the Central Plains. It occupies nearly one-third of the entire country, so if these four provinces can be governed well, there will be no worries about national affairs!
"Okay, then do what you said Yang Qing! I have entrusted the whole country to you!" Then Chongzhen officially appointed Yang Shanlu an official post... which has never been seen in the history of Ming Dynasty-the special envoy of the four provinces. ! Hunting on behalf of the sky! Anyway, in these four provinces, he has the right to say one thing!
Moreover, Chongzhen dared to entrust Yang Shanlu with such a heavy burden, that is also a hundred at ease for him! Even in order to avoid the matter from changing again, this major decision was not handed over to the cabinet to make a vote, but he directly made a decree and made the final decision!
Of course, Chongzhen also knows that to manage the four provinces, the four poor and white places must be transformed into model provinces like Shanxi. The difficulty is certainly not small! So he also did his best to give Yang Shanlu the greatest support... That is to say, all the privileges Yang Shanlu needed, he gave them all!
It's like the imperial python robe before. It goes without saying that Shangfang Baojian, including when he was ruling Shanxi before, he once gave a golden imperial gift of "like my visit in person". After the end of the ruling of Shanxi, he once took it back. But now...
So I believe that Yang Shanlu has these things, and he can definitely walk sideways in these four provinces by then! Order together, the four provinces will follow!
Then Yang Shanlu, when he saw him mention the beginning, then Chongzhen agreed and gave him so many privileges. Yang Shanlu was still very satisfied... The so-called confidant died! Of course, in addition to this, more importantly, the significance of the governance of the four provinces is too great!
Because from a national perspective, these four provinces, plus Shanxi, almost encompass the entire central plains, including the population, so if these four provinces are successfully governed, the country can truly be worry-free! The people live and work in peace and contentment! It can truly usher in a flourishing China!
Then from the perspective of historical development, this is another very good time node! It can even be said to be a historic opportunity! Because looking at the whole world, now is the best time to develop people's livelihood!
Everyone knows that in the original history, the reason why I am Daming Shenzhou Lu Shen! Become a rival! It is because but facing internal and external troubles, plus the triple pressure of the Little Ice Age! But now
Outside the customs, the previous nightmare, the dog Tarzi, who committed China five times and killed my millions of people, has been completely maimed. Only waiting for the country to improve, he can be completely put to an end! So in this way, the foreign troubles in the north can be ignored.
And what about the original internal worries? The gangsters that were raging in the Central Plains, and the large-scale gangster groups with hundreds of thousands of people like locusts, have all been suppressed! There is only one Li Zicheng left, and I don't know where the cat is lingering in Shaanxi, no matter how hard it is!
Therefore, at this moment when both internal and external troubles are all flattened, this is the best time to develop people's livelihood and rejuvenate China!
As for another disaster, the so-called Little Ice Age, can it be difficult to get Yang Shanlu? The abundance of food and clothing for the entire Yanghe Dao, including the Shanxi Model Province, which is now so successful, is the best proof! It can even be said that with the knowledge and experience three hundred years ahead, he came from the dictatorship of the Little Ice Age!
Therefore, at this historical opportunity, once the governance of the four provinces is successful, it can be said that the Chinese nation will no longer have the dark age of the following three hundred years! There will no longer be a day when someone is called the sick man of East Asia!
My smart and wise Chinese nation will eventually stand among the nations of the world! Even standing on top of the nations of the world! It is the brightest jewel in the crown composed of various nations in the world!
This can even lead to a question, who is the smartest and best nation in the world? Is it British? The British who created the miracle that the sun never sets? Is it German? Is it the Germans who almost conquered the whole of Europe? Today we have to say no!
Even thinking of this, Yang Shanlu felt surging! The rise of China begins now!
In order to achieve the above great goals, he will also work hard for it!
Then after discussing the two most important things, Emperor Chongzhen's expression was obviously relaxed, and even after that, because there were no people to wait on here, Chongzhen personally made a cup of Wuyishan Dahongpao for Yang Shanlu. , The monarch and the ministers chatted.
To say that the Dahongpao of Wuyi Mountain at this time is really good. These are the old trees collected from Wuyi Mountain. The fragrance of tea, the sweetness of the entrance... It is definitely a long aftertaste!
But obviously, Chongzhen’s ambitions are not here, just like the two people chatted for a short time, Chongzhen talked about the topic of imperial examinations, which is the so-called eight-legged selection of scholars, even he faintly said that he wanted to reform …
And this is also very obvious. When the old thief Fan Wencheng was caught and finally punished, although the reactionary stance of the old thief was very hateful, he did not repent! But the words he said before he died were still very touching on Chongzhen! Even when he thinks about it when he's okay recently, he thinks it makes sense.
In other words, objectively speaking, based on Fan Wencheng’s talents alone, in the Ming Dynasty, it is okay to be a cabinet bachelor, or even a second assistant, but why is such a talent in his perseverance? After several times, he could only pass the exam for one talent, and even the trivial Juren couldn't pass it? Was finally blocked from being an official
This kind of evil result has forced a talent to go to the dog? So is it necessary to reflect on the current imperial examination system? (End of this chapter)
