Gao Hongtu listened silently, and then said: "My lord, with such an investment, I am afraid that it will cost less than a million dollars every year..."
Zhou Zheng stepped forward and said: "Without the threat of Liaodong, the savings in military payments will be more than one million? In this case, the cabinet will set up a special immigration department, and Yuansuke will be in charge."
Gao Hongtu understood Yuanfu's role now, and followed up and said, "Yes, the next official wrote it down."
Zhou Zhengdao: "As for Xu Gong, I would like to mention two points, two titles, one uncle and one prince, the other plus the rank, plus the general rank, and the prince and Taifu are not needed.”
Gao Hongtu listened and said, "My lord, are you planning to further establish the military system?"
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "You give the Ministry of War a word and let them do it. Liaodong is settled, there will be a lot of things, and troubles will follow one after another. You have to come up with a countermeasure."
Gao Hongtu responded, thinking about it in his heart.
When Zhou Zheng returned to the cabinet method, the atmosphere in the capital was already full of enthusiasm, and Ping Liao’s voices were everywhere. The names of Zhou Zheng, Lu Xiangsheng, Man Gui, and others were also on the cusp. Everyone had them.
The previous voices against Ping Liao stopped abruptly, and the impeachment book that had been boiling was suddenly cut off.
However, there were many people praising Zhou Zheng, trying to express their'respect' to the Zhou Mansion.
Zhou Mansion is like a big enemy, at this time, who knows what these people are thinking, the door is closed, no one is allowed to go out.
It was still dark, and the memorial praising Zhou Zheng had already flown into the General Secretary one after another, and there was a tendency of rapid increase.
Zhou Zheng ignored these, met with Sun Chuanting and other six books, discussed in depth for a long time, and arranged tasks.
The next day, almost all of the six Shangshu came out of Beijing, each with their own tasks, and they were busy with their feet.
Half a month after Lu Xiangsheng entered the city of Shenyang, a group of people slowly drove into the capital under heavy guards.
Inside the carriage, Xiao Zhuang looked at Fulin, and said quietly, "I will leave you with everything that I should say. Don't be nervous, you will be there for everything."
Fulin smiled reluctantly, which was uglier than crying.
Behind them, Daishan, Ji'erhalang, Chen Hualong and others were locked in a prison vehicle.
Jiang Guangyue rode in through Dongzhimen, escorting these people.
The people along the road cheered wildly, throwing rotten eggs and even stones at the carriages of Xiaozhuang and the prisons of Ji'erhalang and others.
These people were expressionless or angry, but they were helpless and resisted.
These people were taken into the cabinet compound and imprisoned in the criminal ministry.
Jiang Guangyue arranged these people and came to Zhou Zheng's room to talk about the various conditions in Liaodong in detail.
Jiang Guangyue knew a lot and said in detail, everything from the situation in Liaodong, to the military and administration, and the future arrangements, etc., was everything and nothing was missed.
After talking about an hour, Jiang Guangyue stopped and came to an end.
Zhou Zheng listened, thinking in his heart, and said, "Well, the situation in Liaodong is indeed not good, and it is also a bit complicated. The first step is to digest Liaodong and establish provincial capitals and counties in Liaodong for full jurisdiction. For various complex ethnic groups, divide and rule. , Disrupt the grouping. The second step is immigration, and the court is already coordinating the arrangements. This is a big project that requires patience. The third step is the deployment and withdrawal of the army, and the Ministry of War will come up with a method. These things, do you have to worry about it? Come, fortunately, there are no enemies in Liaodong, you can slowly figure it out..."
Jiang Guangyue wrote down one by one and said: "My lord, regarding Xu Gong, Master Lu said that he does not want first-hand work. In addition, his father is in poor health and hopes to go back and do the things of the son of man."
Frowning, he jumped and said, "Lu Jiandou is going to resign and return to his hometown?"
Jiang Guangyue moved his expression and said, "Although I didn't say it clearly, it probably means that."
Zhou Zheng calmed his eyebrows and said nothing.
By doing this, Lu Xiangsheng can be regarded as retreating bravely from the rapids, and he clearly saved himself. This probably also meant for Zhou Zheng’s sake. After all, if Lu Xiangsheng returned to Beijing and brought the “Gong of Pingding the Northwest” and the “Gong of Ping Liao”, he would have unprecedented prestige and catch up to Zhou Zheng. Greatly divide Zhou Zheng's power!
However, Zhou was not going to let Lu Xiangsheng go, saying: "Lu Xiangsheng's official position is the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War. Let him come back and go directly to the cabinet."
Jiang Guangyue changed his expression slightly and said, "My lord, will this affect our reform? Lu Jiandou has been outside the court and has never said anything about the reform. Moreover, his network of relations is very complicated, and this time If he joins the cabinet, it may affect the situation of the court."
Jiang Guangyue didn't have a feast with Lu Xiangsheng to hinder his future, but he was really worried.
Jianlu was destroyed, it was when they shed their burdens and went all out to reform the law. Such a good opportunity to add a variable to anyone would worry.
Zhou Zheng glanced at him and said: "We can't let the hero shed blood and tears. There must be a pattern. Lu Jiandou enters the pavilion. If there is any conflict, I will talk to him."
Jiang Guangyue saw Zhou Zheng saying this, and the corners of his mouth moved. He couldn't refute, and said, "Then, it's up to him to have a good talk, get a feel for it, and know what to do before going down to office."
Zhou Zheng nodded, then narrowed his eyes, and said, "You go to Yuanfu, and send all the people who jumped out this time to Liaodong. The reason is that you have been through Liaodong. I think no one will object to such a great achievement."
Jiang Guangyue smiled upon hearing this, and said: "Liaodong is a desolate land. Even if it is to reclaim one item, it needs too many people. The officials believe that they are still willing to serve the country and the people."
Zhou Zheng pointed his finger at him and said, "It's almost done. When Xiaozhuang and the others are cleaned up, Yuanfu will come back from the palace and take them to see Yuanfu first. Then I will meet the emperor. In the evening, I will have a banquet at home and entertain. Xiaozhuang and Fulin."
Jiang Guang answered and said, "Yes. Let's go to the next official."
Zhou Zheng nodded, watched him go out, and exhaled softly in his heart.
Liaodong was finally settled.
There was a big rock in his heart.
"You can get a good night's sleep."
Zhou Zheng whispered to himself, Jianlu kept him stuck in his throat, unable to sleep well. Now, he can finally rest well.
After Jiang Guangyue went out, he brought Xiaozhuang and Fulin from the Criminal Ministry to see Qian Qianyi.
Qian Qianyi naturally assumed the posture of the first assistant of the celestial dynasty, sternly reprimanded, and detailed the rebellious and illegal actions of Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, etc., and his attitude was extremely serious.
Xiaozhuang, who is in his early thirties, and Fulin, who is six or seven years old, can only listen. At this time, what else can he say
Allowing Qian Qianyi's awe-inspiring reprimand, he could only plead guilty in the end.
Qian Qianyi finally encouraged them to see Zhu Cihong by saying that he was'very gratified' on the grounds of'knowing the way back'.
Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Cihong sat on the dragon chair, looking down at Xiaozhuang, Fulin walked slowly, his eyes full of pleasure and inexplicable goodness.
"Criminal officials see His Majesty the Emperor, long live your Majesty!"
Fulin stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully according to what Xiaozhuang had taught.
However, Zhu Cihong did not reply immediately, but stared at Xiaozhuang with scorching eyes. (End of this chapter)
