Jingzheng is five years, and Chongzhen is ten years in history.
In April, a lot of things happened inside and outside the Ming court, especially the violent shaking of officialdom, which made everyone in the world feel that a storm was coming.
On April 15, Bi Ziyan, Sun Chuanting and others went out of Beijing one after another to supervise government affairs, and then Wang Qiaonian, King Jing and others also left Beijing in various ways, plus Fu Changzong had gone to Shaanxi before, and in the cabinet, only Sun Chengzong, who did not manage government affairs much, stayed behind.
The new cabinet secretary, Li Youtang, is already familiar with the operation of the cabinet, sitting in his class room, handling his official business.
At this time, a Wen Dianlang came in, holding a thick notebook, and said, "My lord, the document from Liaodong is about the reclamation and city construction plans for the next three years. ” Li Youtang glanced up at him, took it and said, "Is there anything new?"
” Wen Dianlang said, "Liaodong plans to expand the city of Vladivostok, where the population is about to exceed 500,000, and the port will also be expanded, and there are a lot of ships coming and going.
In addition, eighteen more cities will be built to accommodate the population that is constantly moving over, and the population of Liaodong is about to exceed 10 million, and the city is needed ......"
Liaodong is a virgin land, in recent years, the population of Liaodong has been increasing, and the 'Guandong' has set off a gold rush, and the victims from all over the country are also pouring there without the organization of the imperial court.
Li Youtang had some understanding of the situation in Liaodong, looked at the playbook, and said: "Liaodong basically does not need blood transfusion from the imperial court, since they are playing, they must have a plan, Bi Ge Lao and others are no longer in the capital, transfer this playbook to the household department, the Ministry of Industry, please discuss it with the second department, and return to the cabinet." ” "Yes."
Wen Dianlang took the notebook and said: "The project of the Ministry of Industry will basically be completed this year, if it is possible, the lower official suggests that those people and craftsmen be sent to Liaodong to continue to do things, and secondly, they are disaster victims, if they can take root and settle in Liaodong, it is not a good thing." ” Li Youtang thought about it and said: "The Ministry of Industry has used millions of people in recent years, and it would be a good thing if it could be placed in Liaodong, but it still needs to be carefully discussed, and we will talk about it when Bi Ge Lao comes back." ” Wen Dianlang also knew that this matter needed to be managed as a whole, so he had to quit after answering the call.
Li Youtang suddenly said again: "Zhang Rongsui went to the General Chamber of Commerce, is there any situation?"
” Wen Dianlang felt a little abrupt, thought about it, and said: "This general chamber of commerce is not an institution of the cabinet, it is established by the Ministry of Households, the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Royal Bank, the State Administration of Taxation, etc., for the purpose of conducting maritime trade, it is said that more than 30 chambers of commerce from all over the world are involved, but in the end it is not an official body, what actions Zhang Rongsui has in it, the lower officials really don't know, perhaps, you have to ask the household department."
"The boss is fierce: husband, can't be fed Li Youtang said 'um' and said casually: "Got it, go ahead." ” "Yes."
Wen Dianlang took the notebook and turned to go out.
Li Youtang sat there, casually holding the notebook, but his mind was a little indifferent.
Zhang Rongsui is the prince of the emperor, or the crown prince, the uncle of the future emperor, and the general chamber of commerce under his jurisdiction involves the household department, the State Administration of Taxation, the royal bank, etc., which are the absolute key departments of the Ming court.
Is this also an intentional deployment by the emperor?
Li Youtang had been outside the imperial court, watching coldly, not so much, but in less than a month after arriving in the cabinet, he had already deeply understood what Bi Ziyan was worried about.
What they are planning today is too long-term, some of them can see it, and there are too many they can't see, and Zhang Rongxi's arrangement alone is enough to make them frightened.
Bi Ziyan is worried about the situation after his Zhishi, and Li Youtang is already worried about the new monarch.
Nowadays, business is very important, will Zhang Rongsuo go to this general chamber of commerce, will there be any other arrangements?
In the entire Ming Dynasty, perhaps no one knows what he thinks in his heart except for the emperor himself, but who knows, this has never been a goal for me to do things, and the surface is all an illusion.
Li Youtang deeply felt Bi Ge Lao's worries, pondered for a while, got up and walked out of the class room, went upstairs, and entered Cao Huachun's class room.
Li Youtang is the secretary of the cabinet, and he is also a hot big man in the eyes of the government and the opposition, but here, he still raised his hand and bowed and said, "Father-in-law." ” Cao Huachun has a very good impression of the new cabinet secretary, quite a Confucian gentleman, not impatient, peaceful and modest.
"Master Li, is there something wrong?"
Cao Huachun said politely.
Li Youtang pondered for a moment and said, "Father-in-law, the matter over there in Shaanxi is almost over, and there is no one in charge of the cabinet at present. ” Cao Huachun looked at Li Youtang with a calm gaze.
The atmosphere in the cabinet has been a little delicate recently, Bi Ziyan suddenly left Beijing with a group of cabinet ministers this time, which is extremely unusual in itself, and now Li Youtang wants to invite Fu Changzong back, what kind of idea is it?
The prequel to Hong Xing's old boy Cao Huachun picked up the teacup, and then said: "Well, Fu Ge Lao has a letter to the emperor, and he will return to Beijing in three or five days at most, and the cabinet should not be empty for too long." ” Li Youtang showed a smile on his face and said, "That's great, there is Gonggong Lao, and the official will retire." ” Cao Huachun looked at Li Youtang's back, and his brows furrowed unconsciously.
Things were getting more and more delicate, and he couldn't see it clearly.
It's not who is making trouble, it's not who is fighting against whom, but a group of people who have their own plans, and the eight immortals cross the sea to show their magical powers, and there are many chaos, and they can't figure it out.
Cao Huachun unconsciously turned his head to look at the wall on the left, and not far away, was Zhu Xu's class.
"Perhaps, only the emperor can see it."
Cao Huachun muttered softly.
After saying this, he continued to bow his head and picked up the notebook in his hand.
These recitals were all sorted out below, and further sent to him, and there were records in other places, and there was no way to hide or hide them, so they could only be carefully reviewed and let them go where they should go.
What can get into Cao Huachun's hands is naturally unusual.
On the other side, Zhu Xu is also busy, the 'New Deal' has been gone for nearly ten years, and it has entered the most critical moment, there are too many things that need to be consumed, and it is impossible to relax for a moment.
What he was reading was a report from the Royal Bank, an estimate of the issuance of new coins and the capacity of the currency, as well as this year's plan for additional issuance.
Fu Tao is not the original young man, he has studied the Daming currency market very deeply, and the questions and plans raised make Zhu Xu think deeply, and he can't see it at a glance.
After watching it for a long time, Zhu Xu knew it in his heart, but there were still many questions and he needed to talk to Fu Tao face-to-face.
"Send a message to Fu Tao and ask him to come to see me tomorrow."
Zhu Xu said without raising his head.
"Yes."
The inner supervisor who was waiting on the side immediately responded, and a person quietly ran out.

Immediately, Zhu Xu said again: "Wait, you don't have to go into the palace, it's outside, I haven't been out of the palace for a long time, go out for a walk." ” The inner supervisor hurriedly turned around and said, "Yes." ” 2
