Chapter 1174: Entrusted with important tasks
Seeing Ye Chunqiu's look of astonishment, as if she was scared by herself, Old Lady Ye looked angry and funny. Then she realized that she was a little excited and smiled bitterly: "It's nothing. I originally wanted to ask you about Qingxia, but you have always been steady in your work. I guess I don't need to say more about this kind of thing, you can do it yourself."
Unexpectedly, Old Lady Ye was struggling with this matter, but Old Lady Ye did not continue to investigate with him, which made Ye Chunqiu feel relieved.
Ye Chunqiu bowed obediently to Old Lady Ye and said, "Yes, grandson understands."
However, thinking of Ye Jing being recalled to the capital, Ye Chunqiu had to keep a heart. He was not sure that this was not a bad intention of some people.
The next morning, the Zhenguo Mansion had a document to be sent to the cabinet, so Ye Chunqiu set off and personally took the document to the cabinet.
The cabinet has always been calm. It snowed all night last night, and several eunuchs from the sacred palace prisons had already cleaned up here. Ye Chunqiu went in and asked someone to inform him. After a while, someone invited Ye Chunqiu to go in.
Ye Chunqiu originally wanted to find his old Taishan Wang Hua, but Liu Jian called him to his public housing when he learned that he was coming.
Ye Chunqiu had no choice but to bite the bullet and bow to Liu Jian, saying, "I've seen Mr. Liu."
Liu Jian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you these days. The Zhenguo Mansion and the various ministries have nothing to do with each other. They didn't have any official business dealings. This morning, I heard that you were here."
Ye Chunqiu also had a faint smile on his face and said, "It's all for Your Majesty, how can they be irrelevant? Liu Gongyan is so serious."
Ye Chunqiu was thinking about finding an excuse, and he could find some information indirectly. Unexpectedly, Liu Jian pondered for a while and said, "Don't be busy with official business. I have some questions and I really want to ask Chunqiu to solve my doubts."
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but wonder, and said, "I don't know what?"
Perhaps Liu Jian thought of something, frowned and said in disbelief: "I heard that Japan had discovered gold and silver mountains, with amazing reserves. There is an ore vein. If it was mined, the annual output would not be less than half of the output of gold and silver mines in the world. This matter is widely circulated in the market now and is very popular. I naturally know that rumors in the market are not trustworthy. After all, this matter is too incredible. It is probably spreading rumors. Spring and Autumn, do you think so?"
Ye Chunqiu didn't expect that Liu Jian was also paying attention to such gossip, but Ye Chunqiu didn't think it was just that Liu Jian's gossip was as simple as Liu Jian's gossip.
But speaking of this, this matter is indeed sensational.
People always have an inherent impression. For the Ming Dynasty, what they looked at were the two capitals and thirteen provinces and the land of Zhudusi. Therefore, in his impression, gold and silver mines have always been rare. After all, there were too few gold and silver mines discovered in the Ming Dynasty, and this gold and silver have always been rare things.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Jian didn't believe it very much. How could he believe that in such a small place in Japan, the reserves of gold and silver mines would be several times that of the Ming Dynasty? This gold and silver were valuable in the Ming Dynasty, but in Japan, it was not as valuable.
But the rumors outside are too fierce. After all, gold and silver are just something that makes people feel curious. This is similar to the bizarre story of finding treasures. Once it is spread, it is out of control. In an instant, the world is in an uproar, and even Liu Jian is unable to escape the vulgarity. He even heard some rumors.
You should know that the market has already been in full swing. In the past, everyone thought of countless dangers, but now they have only realized that there are mountains of gold and silver, as well as countless treasures.
Ye Chunqiu smiled and said directly: "Mr. Liu, there is indeed this."
"Oh." Liu Jian responded and stopped talking.
He suddenly felt that he thought about it. The taxes of the court were only two million yuan in cash. Although there were countless physical objects, silk, cloth, food, etc., these things were not as flexible as those of cash. Seeing the annual income of Zhenguo Mansion, starting from millions, it continued to soar. At this speed, even the court felt unable to do so. Liu Jian shook his head in his heart, but did not continue to ask.
Seeing that Liu Jian didn't say anything, Ye Chunqiu remembered the mission he had come this time and bowed: "Actually, Chunqiu came this time to inquire about his father's situation. His father was in Ningxia, so why did he suddenly want to return to Beijing?"
"So that's the matter?" Liu Jian smiled, and when he saw Ye Chunqiu's worried look, he couldn't help but laugh.
He could feel Ye Chunqiu's concern for his father, and at the same time, he also saw that Ye Chunqiu was a cautious person, and must have thought this matter seemed a bit strange, so he came to ask.
Liu Jian stroked his beard and said, "Ling Zun is in Ningxia, and he is in military farming and appeaseing the military and civilians. Now the effect is significant. Ningxia has been roughly settled and there is no risk of rebellion. In the past few days, there was a dispute in the court summoning Ling Zun back to Beijing. But I think it's too early. I mean, I want to stay in Ningxia for a few years, and when I have enough qualifications, I will be transferred back to the Ministry of War. The court has too few people who know the soldiers. Originally, the Spring and Autumn Period, he became a Duke. Ling Zun's performance in Ningxia is impressive, so I will certainly have some appointments."
"Just..." Liu Jian said this, but suddenly smiled bitterly and continued: "Who expected that there would be a cold disaster in Liaodong. In recent years, the imperial court's grain storage is getting less and less grain production is becoming increasingly difficult. Liaodong is mostly military fields, but now the cold weather is in great cold, and grain production is plummeting. But the Dusi area dare not report it. Instead, he kept saying that grain production is not a problem and it will definitely ensure military and civilian use. However, after an inspection by the imperial envoy of the Censorate, he found that the reserved grain was actually less than 10% of the report. The reserved grain was reduced to a shocking level, and the military supplies were also
There are shortcomings at the time. Now the Liaodong Dushi is in a great deal. The court is determined to transfer food to calm the morale of the army. But the problem is that if ordinary people go, they are afraid that they will collude with local officials. If the Qingliu Censors supervised it, they are afraid that they will find it difficult to do things. After thinking about it, Ling Zun made great contributions in Ningxia and was a clean and honest person. After measuring this, this burden will probably fall on him. He will be summoned back in the past few days, just to plan his fortune to go to Liaodong immediately. If the matter of Liaodong is delayed, I will worry that it will change later."
So that's it...
Ye Chunqiu was relieved, he was afraid that this was the idea of Zhang Cai and others. If this was true, who would know if these were harmful intentions? But if it was just the meaning of the cabinet, Ye Chunqiu would feel relieved.

Sorry, the tiger really has no choice but to do this today. This chapter is also on the plane, and then I keep taking the bus. I am afraid it will be difficult to get time today. If I can get time, the tiger will also work hard to write. I hope everyone can forgive the tiger. Tomorrow, the tiger should not be as passive as today. Sorry!
