Seeing this, Emperor Tianqi nodded and said, "Since this is the case, I ordered Zhou Qing to be the Minister of Personnel and the Right Deputy Censor of the Censorate, to manage the military, political and civil affairs of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other departments."

Wei Zhongxian said: "Abide by the order."

This is equivalent to letting Zhou Yingqiu supervise Jiangnan.

Of course, there was no so-called supervisor at all in the Ming Dynasty, this was just a temporary dispatch!

Generally speaking, the so-called supervisor is often a temporary establishment by officials at the Shangshu level, responsible for inspections in several provinces.

For example, the Minister of Personnel represents his level and can directly overwhelm local officials.

In addition, serving as the right deputy censor, he has the responsibility of supervisory authority and can impeach local officials at any time, that is, he has the power to deal with local officials.

Such an arrangement... In fact, Emperor Tianqi also made Zhou Yingqiu make meritorious service and investigated the case of Li Guo's purchase of official positions.

After Emperor Tianqi said that, he immediately said, "Tell Zhou Yingqiu that if he doesn't do well, he won't have to come back to see me again. At that time, he will punish him for his dereliction of duty, and I will not give him good fruit."

With this pressure, if Zhou Yingqiu still wants to talk to others, then he will be done by himself.

Wei Zhongxian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I will tell you."

After saying that, Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhang Jingyi again: "I heard that you plan to open a branch of Donglin Military Academy in Liaodong?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "Liaodong is adjacent to the desert, far away from the pass, and all ethnic groups live in a mixed world. Jiannu is not far away from the scholars, so I plan to..."

Before he could continue, Emperor Tianqi said, "You are right to do this. The Ming Dynasty needs such students now. Don't look at how poor I am, and say that the money I should spend should be spent. I will issue an order... In Liaodong, a Liaodong Donglin Military Academy will be established, with five teaching teams. And the capital... According to my opinion, the teaching team will be expanded, from one thousand people to three thousand people, and the number of teaching teams can be expanded to six. All military expenditures and the salary of the students will be distributed from the treasury. The military uniforms, boots, hats, bedding, food and consumption required by the teaching team will be asked for."

"At the same time, all workshops are also expanded to recruit craftsmen... all military supplies such as guns and cannons must be prepared, so don't let go of money. The school grounds for students... should be larger. Although the school does not need to be extravagant, they also need to be clean and tidy. In this regard, I will give you as much money as you want!"

Zhang Jing took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty...this..."

It was not that Zhang Jingyi was in a dilemma, but... this sudden generosity made Zhang Jingyi a little uncomfortable.

Emperor Tianqi carried his hands behind his back and said lightly: "Do you think I am short of money? What I am short of people is people, and what I am short of is people who are willing to go through fire and water! You will do this specifically. Oh, yes... Deng Jian is going to marry and have children. How long will your marriage be delayed?"

"Ah..." Zhang Jing was stunned.

Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "I'll choose a good day."

"Oh." Zhang Jing sighed, feeling unspeakable. He had seen the portrait of the princess, which was pretty good.

In the Ming Dynasty, theoretically speaking, marrying a wife is like opening a blind box, which is probably similar to later netizens. Even if they have had videos and photos before, you have seen each other's cheating, you will never know whether it is a scare or a surprise at the end of the road.

After thinking about it, it seems that there is no difference between later generations and ancient times.

Although Zhang Jingyi always thought the portrait was suspicious, after all, the woman in the portrait was most likely a product of the painter's polish.

But based on conscience, even if the painters of this era want to polish, they will not be as crazy as later generations.

Very good, keep a good and optimistic attitude and just act like a rush.

However, Zhang Jingyi finally understood why in this era, the trends advocated by high-ranking officials and nobles were all about Yangzhou thin horses. After all,... you don’t need to open blind boxes for prostitutes.

At this time, Emperor Tianqi thought of something else and immediately said, "How is your father in Liaodong?"

Zhang Jingyi took back his thoughts and said, "Your Majesty, my father... I came to a letter a few days ago, saying that I had settled in Lushun, and the place in Lushun. On the one hand, the Zhang family recruited a lot of people, and also recruited some refugees, as well as our iron-clad ship plan, and recruited a large number of craftsmen. Now... there are more than 37,000 people gathered there, building cities, building workshops, and building workshops. Oh. Yes, Your Highness Xinwang is also planning to go there, first to open up the first military farm there and guide people to open up the land."

"So many people...the materials are consumed very much now. Fortunately, it is coastal, so they hired Zhang San and asked him to send a large group of ships to purchase a large number of materials from Denglai, traveling between Lushun and Denglai. Therefore, the materials are now supplied. In addition... Huang Taiji also brought the Jiannu people to set up a garrison there. His father gave them silver and hired them to do some hard work..."

Emperor Tianqi nodded and couldn't help but sigh: "With money, everything is easy, and without money, everything is difficult. Whether it is to manage the family or govern the country, it is the same. Alas, Jiangnan is like this now, and the Central Plains and Guanzhong are full of bandits, and it is really discouraging to suppress them.

Zhang Jing thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I still feel that if the people are corrupt today and the people follow the thieves, they are all caused by hunger. The people are hungry and have no land to cultivate, so they naturally follow the thieves and give them land to cultivate the people. Then they will obey the people. In fact, they are just between the front line, and this line... is only between Your Majesty's thoughts."

After pausing, he continued: "Liaodong should play a demonstration role in promoting the new policy. Maybe... If you take over the refugees and bandits, just send them to Liaodong."

After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi frowned and said hesitantly: "They have been thieves for a long time, and they are all fierce and stubborn. Aren't you worried that they will be sent to Liaodong... and that Liaodong will be in trouble?"

Emperor Tianqi's words were by no means groundless. In fact, in the past two years, various provinces have suppressed countless thieves, and there are also many thieves who have been recruited. These thieves who have been recruited often do not take long to turn back to become thieves and continue to kill officials.

In the local prefectures and counties, they all believe that these people are hopeless and stubborn, and have reached the point of extreme viciousness.

Therefore... many people advocate a policy of chasing and killing them all.

There are countless repeated examples of bandits on the desk of Emperor Tianqi.

Zhang Jingyi was obviously not scared and insisted: "Send it to Liaodong, I will deal with it."

Emperor Tianqi sighed and had to say, "Since that's the case, I'm giving an order... that's it."

Not long after, Emperor Tianqi ordered the Silijian to leave a note.

At this time, the atmosphere in the cabinet was obviously a bit different from before.

Li Guo was gone, and the remaining three cabinet ministers were all somewhat trembling.

After all, a few days ago, Li Guo was still a minister with everyone and chatted and laughed.

Even though Huang Liji and Sun Chengzong may not agree with Li Guo, they can't help but sigh at the impermanence of life at this time.

But then... the Sili Superintendent sent two consecutive notes from His Majesty, which also attracted the attention of the Grand Secretary.

Huang Liji took the lead and said: "Let Zhou's ministry enter the south of the Yangtze River, so who will deal with the ministry?"

Sun Chengzong said: "I have to let the Left Minister of Personnel take over his post."

Huang Liji nodded: "Your Majesty ordered the Zhou tribe to supervise Jiangnan. There was no sign in advance, but I didn't know what I was trying to do."

Sun Chengzong said thoughtfully: "Maybe... the problem lies with Mr. Li."

"What do you mean...the Jiangnan...is related to Mr. Li?"

Sun Chengzong smiled and said, "It's hard to say, don't talk nonsense, it's just speculation."

Liu Hongxun said at this time: "This second note makes people worry about life. Escort the bandits challenged from all over the country and escort them to Liaodong. Will this be..."

As he said that, Liu Hongxun showed a clear look of worry.

Huang Liji also frowned and couldn't help but say, "Whose idea is this?"

Sun Chengzong said without thinking: "It must be Zhang Jingyi who took the initiative to ask for his order. Otherwise, Your Majesty would definitely not issue this order."

Huang Liji smiled bitterly and said, "There have been no revenge in the past few years, but the effect is... Alas... These bandits, once they are defeated, they will beg for surrender. When they see the opportunity, they will immediately kill the officials and rebel, and they will repeat over and over again. It is rare to see anyone who sincerely wants to change their faces!"

"The court has used up all the means of pacifying, but no one has repented. From this, it can be seen that these are all demon kings in the world. This trick of pacifying is completely useless for them. Zhang Jingyi wants to invite these people to Liaodong. Isn't this a disaster for raising a tiger?"

However, Sun Chengzong said: "Don't worry about other people's business, if this matter is accomplished, it is a great merit."

"But what if it doesn't work?" Liu Hongxun interrupted.

Sun Chengzong said expressionlessly: "No, Zhang Jingyi is the one who suffers a loss, so it's better not to meddle in other people's business."

Huang Liji sighed and said, "You said Zhang Jingyi is both righteous and evil. You said he is extremely vicious. What he does is also beneficial to the country and the people. If you say he is virtuous, this person uses any means..."

Sun Chengzong smiled and said, "Those who accomplish great things do not care about the trivial matters! Can we solve so many things with a gentlemanly manner? Or can we be obediently obey the moral education that makes people surrender? In fact... I wait for myself to say something humble and gentleman all day long, but I deceive myself. Things in this world cannot be done by a gentleman. Without thunderous means, I cannot turn against others. It is harder to succeed than to reach the sky!"

"I have thought about it all over the years and have some knowledge when it comes to knowledge, and my knowledge is worse than Zhang Jingyi. But in this regard, I am really ashamed."

Huang Liji couldn't help but think about it. He couldn't tell whether what Sun Chengzong said was good or bad. After all, the principles he learned in his life were indeed not like this. But... his inherent experience seemed to tie his hands and feet when doing things, so he sighed.
