After Li Xuan came out of Qianqing Hall, he looked around, looking for Luo Yan.

Although he now has a lot of military and political matters to deal with, Li Xuan only has this girl in his mind at this time, and everything else is not as important as Luo Yan's life safety.

Li Xuan was shocked to find that there was no trace of Luo Yan outside the hall.

Fortunately, Dugu Biluo, who was also waiting outside the hall, came over and said, "Young master, are you looking for Luo Yan? Sister Yan has already returned to Liudaosi with Hanyun and Qianqian. There is a lot of chaos in the capital today. Many great demons appeared, and the Six Daosi Division was in urgent need of manpower, so they were recalled urgently.

Sister Yan also asked me to tell her that nothing happened to her, so don't worry. She also asked Jiang Shen—well, my father showed it to her. He also said that there was nothing serious wrong with her except that she was a little weak, and her life force had not been lost too much. "

Li Xuan frowned, then calmed down.

If it was just Luo Yan who said that, he would definitely be suspicious, but since even Jiang Yunqi has seen it, it shouldn't be a big problem.

But it's strange, this time Luo Yan used the method of Jitian for three moments as the fourth sect, and his hair turned white, but he didn't damage his life force much?

Li Xuan was extremely puzzled, but he soon had no time to think about it.

As the 'King of Fenyang County, Chief Governor of the Fifth Military Governor's Office, and Second Assistant to the Cabinet', Li Xuan was quickly overwhelmed by the myriad of complicated government affairs.

The key is that this time, neither Dugu Biluo nor Le Qianqian can be of much help.

The two of them can help him handle some official documents and chores, but these major national affairs are beyond their capabilities.

Li Xuan cleverly transferred several people from the Hanlin Academy to serve as his "students in Wuying Palace".

He replaced Takatani as the second assistant in the cabinet, and thus succeeded Takatani as the "Grand Bachelor of Wuyingdian".

The role of the bookkeeper in Wuying Palace was probably equivalent to his secretary.

According to the usual practice, in addition to helping Li Xuan handle government affairs, these Zhongshushe people were also responsible for seal writing of treasures, books, album pages, etc. according to the decree.

But for now, these Zhongshushe people are still very inexperienced, and Li Xuan can't count on them for the time being.

In fact, Li Xuan wanted to recruit one or two experienced and talented officials from the local area who could 'plug and play'.

He was very dissatisfied with the rule of the Jin Dynasty that "non-Jinshi will not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin will not join the cabinet".

Since the Yingzong period of the Ming Dynasty, all cabinet ministers have been Hanlin officials. Most of them have no local experience and do not have sufficient experience in government affairs.

Li Xuan prefers the "not visiting the prefectures and counties, not entering the Taiwan Pavilion" of the Tang and Song Dynasties.

But at this time, Li Xuan had a dark eye on the civil service team of Jin Dynasty. How could he know who was talented and reliable?

Moreover, there are very few capable officials in the Jin Dynasty. If they are transferred to the center, their abilities will be wasted.

On the contrary, there are some scholars in the Hanlin Academy today who are smart and see things clearly.

After cultivating and gaining experience in the cabinet for a period of time, you will be able to put it to use.

If they are put in place to experience for a few years in the future, their future is still worth looking forward to.

At this time, the first priority that Li Xuan had to deal with was the various tricks behind the Zhengtong Emperor's rebellion.

He must quell the riots in the capital, clear out the defeated troops near Zhili in the north, screen civil and military officials, hunt down the fleeing rebels, place surrender troops, etc.

During this process, Li Xuan once again experienced the complexity of the court.

Emperor Jingtai had just died, and the fight against the rebellion had not yet been completely completed, but the political disputes in the court were already raging.

He intended to use this conspiracy case to further attack the northern generals, but was hindered by Yu Jie and Yu Shiyue, the Minister of Punishment.

Yu Shiyue did not want to see the rebellion case being too widely implicated, and Yu Jie also did not want the case to affect the stability of the Jingying, Datong, Xuanfu and other frontier armies.

The generals in the north are intertwined, and many of their tribesmen are filling up the frontier army and the Beijing camp in charge of Yu Jie.

Yu Jie didn't want to protect the northern general, but he just believed that things had priorities.

In Yu Jie's view, the most important thing now is to stabilize the border, not to purge and reorganize the army.

The cabinet and several auxiliary ministers also did not support it. They did not want Li Xuan's power in the military to expand indefinitely and lose checks and balances.

Didn't Li Xuan know that killing the generals in the north might affect the military morale of several border towns? Might the court be in turmoil?

But the reason why he did this was definitely not just to clear up the sins of rebellion of these noble generals, nor was it just because he couldn't trust these people, but because of comprehensive considerations in many aspects.

Therefore, Li Xuan temporarily postponed the trial and treatment of those involved in the case, and began to discuss with the ministers the post-war rewards for the Shenji Battalion and Jizhou Army, as well as the placement of the surrendered troops.

Especially the surrendered troops, these two hundred thousand rebels, can't we just let them go?

What if they are incited to cause trouble again? Among the assistant ministers present, who can bear the responsibility?

Especially the officers and men of the Fifth Army Battalion, the Tenth Regiment Battalion, and the cabinet ministers who participated in the rebellion cannot be trusted.

But the homes of these soldiers are located near the capital. Once they are released into their homes, the consequences will be disastrous.

When the cabinet ministers thought of the more than 200,000 former rebels crowding inside and outside the capital, they felt numb and could not sleep at night.

Therefore, Li Xuan's opinions prevailed, and he sent 270,000 troops to clean up the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and renovate water conservancy projects along the North Zhili and Yellow River lines.

These projects will last for two years. After two years, all the guardsmen will be released to their homes. The rebels in the Beijing camp moved their whole families to Liaodong, or Yunnan and other places to "solidify".

But the question is, where does the money for these projects come from? Although these 270,000 surrendered troops can save labor costs, the various materials, tools, and food required for the project all cost money.

In addition, they have to prepare tens of thousands of troops to guard these surrendered troops, and it will also cost money to move the people to the border. They will move the families of these Beijing camp soldiers out, so basic agricultural tools, food, seeds, etc. are still needed. which provided.

All the expenses totaled more than 20 million taels!

At this time, all the ministers in the cabinet suddenly came up with the idea of ​​ransacking their homes!

This is the fastest way to make money among all financial means in Dajin.

Then there is the expansion of the Shenji Camp——

"The Shenji Battalion has been expanded to ten regiments. I am planning to recruit troops from Baoding, Shandong, Chuzhou, Yiwu and other places. There is currently a shortage of 68,000 people, and each person needs 150 taels of resettlement allowance, a total of 10 million taels. Patterned Silver.”

In the Wenhua Hall where many ministers gathered, Li Xuan reported the cost of expanding the army: "The shortage of 'Rune Fuselt Rifled Guns' is 60,000, which is 36 million taels of silver. In addition, the original 37,000 fusiliers are Most of the guns have been fired more than 400 times and require proper care, re-rifling, and even replacement of the barrel, which is expected to cost more than six million taels of silver.

There are also smoothbore field guns. According to my estimation, each battalion of 10,800 requires at least fifty smoothbore field guns, which means a total of five hundred field guns. We are still short of 330 doors, and the cost of each door is 30,000 taels of silver. This is only guns and cannons, as well as various miscellaneous weapons, such as clothing, armor, war horses, etc., and the total will not be less than five million. "

Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Revenue, who was summoned to attend the cabinet meeting, suddenly felt weak and short of breath. He smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness King Fenyang, your expenses total tens of millions of taels. How can I, the Ministry of Revenue, get it? I'm sorry, sir." I’ll try my best to raise money for you, but I can give you up to six million taels this year.”

The left minister of the Household Department intentionally or unintentionally looked at Qian Long, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, but the latter had no expression on his face: "Although the late emperor was simple and simple, he did not save money. The money in the inner treasury has always been borrowed by foreign dynasties. Now, The bank balance is less than three million."

He thought for a while: "We can sell some properties that are not beneficial to the royal family, and open a few mines. We can raise five million taels for King Fenyang before the end of the year."

The death of Jingtai and the betrayal of Cao Jixiang made Qian Long feel guilty and self-blame beyond measure.

At this time, he only wanted to support and protect the eldest princess and the emperor's grandson until the late emperor's imperial rule was established forever——

"Expanding the military and preparing for war is the top priority of our country today!"

Li Xuan glanced at the ministers with sharp eyes: "In the Great Jin Dynasty, there are kings Yi and Prince Xiang who are in trouble, and outside there are Mengwu and Luchuan chieftain who are eyeing them. If there is no one in the court who can call them, they will come as soon as possible. War, elite soldiers who can win the war, how can you rest in peace?

In my opinion, the Shenji Battalion of 108,000 people is not enough. It is best to select four to six more battalions from the Beijing camp and equip all of them with muskets and artillery, in order to protect the Jin State. Stable as a mountain. "

He still calls himself the Marquis and is not used to the title of "Prince of Fenyang County".

After hearing this, Young Master Yu Jie's face moved slightly, UU reading www.uukanshu. nnet The balance in his heart has tilted towards 'money'.

There seems to be no other way besides ransacking the house——

As far as he knew, most of the main branches of the northern generals and the common people had discordant or even bad relations.

As long as they can treat each other differently in the process, suppress one and promote the other, and divide and collapse, it doesn't seem to be a big problem?

"I discussed with the leader of the artifact alliance and she can accept payment in two-year installments. However, the deposit paid by the court this year must not be less than 30 million taels."

Li Xuan's eyes flashed and he gave the ministers the final blow: "Everyone, the imperial court only needs 170,000 flintlock muskets in hand. I will be able to annihilate all the traitors in the world and sweep away all the foreign enemies in the north and south!"

Wang Wen, who entered the cabinet again, couldn't help but ponder for a moment with a solemn expression, and then glanced at the ministers: "As for the treatment of the rebel generals, I think we can still discuss it. There are still follow-up interrogations, and it is best to start from Be strict, what do you think?"

Chen Xun, the chief assistant, looked at Li Xuan with a strange look on his face. He thought that this Fenyang County Prince was not only astonishing in terms of military ability, but his talent in handling government affairs was also unexpected.

Emperor Jingtai directly promoted him to the position of secondary assistant, although he was willful. Judging from Li Xuan's skills, this Fenyang County Prince is worthy of being a prime minister.
