Chapter five hundred and sixty fifth: oil and salt do not enter
When Zheng Shixue heard Ye Chunqiu evaluate him with kindness, he was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing, but didn't say much.
After the time was finished, Ye Chunqiu did not go home. This fact is so important today. The emperor ordered himself to train troops and directly use the money from the crystal workshop. This is almost equivalent to the nature of a group training.
Ye Chunqiu checked history in Guang's brain. After Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, he trained many military horses. In addition to the Imperial Horse Supervisor, he also issued an order to interchange the border army and the imperial guards in the capital, and even personally took charge of Xuanfu to train troops. This is all well-documented.
This martial emperor is addicted to training troops, but it would be fine if he was asked to train troops in the Royal Horse Supervisor. The problem is that it is another matter to let him train troops. After all, he is a Hanlin person. With this identity, he cannot make trouble with the emperor.
So he had to go to someone to report first. The first thing Ye Chunqiu thought of was Xie Qian, so he quickly clicked Mao and rushed to the Xie family. This time he learned his lesson and did not report it, but he only stayed in front of the door. At this time, the cabinet should have paid the deposit, but Xie Gong should not have returned home so quickly. He squatted here and could always catch up.
As expected, when the sky gradually faded, Xie Qian's sedan chair came slowly. Ye Chunqiu immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "Secretary Ye Chunqiu, I have met Mr. Xie."
Xie Qian opened the curtain and saw that it was Ye Chunqiu, who couldn't help but blew his beard and glared at him. You are shameless. This is because you want to visit the door these few times, but you blocked your way. Didn't Ye Chunqiu come here just to see Wang Jingchu?
He has to keep a close eye on the prince, Wang Jingchu hasn't passed yet!
Seeing Xie Qian's cold attitude, Ye Chunqiu said: "Today, Your Majesty wants to order the Imperial Horse Supervisor to expand the Warriors' Camp..."
Xie Qian's face changed slightly, but he narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Chunqiu with a solemn expression and said, "Let's talk inside."
Ye Chunqiu felt relieved and finally got the treatment of joining the Xie family. It was not easy.
Following Xie Qian's sedan chair, Ye Chunqiu took a special look at the door, then raised his head and went in.
Before Xie Qian could change his official clothes, he immediately took Ye Chunqiu to the small hall and said with a grin: "What the hell is it?"
So Ye Chunqiu told the matter in full.
As a Hanlin, Ye Chunqiu knew his position very well. If this matter was concealed, it would only arouse disgust from the cabinet. Since he couldn't hold it over, he would just say it out. As for what Mr. Xie, Mr. Liu, and Mr. Li think, Ye Chunqiu doesn't care.
Xie Qian couldn't help but frown: "The border town has a lot of things, how can it be solved by training troops? Your Majesty wants to expand the Warriors Camp again, which is not a good thing. The Warriors Camp is already expensive. Although it is used for the treasury, it is not a good thing once this is opened. Your Majesty still orders you to train troops with Wang Shouren?"
Ye Chunqiu said: "That's right, the lower official thought about it and thought it was important, so it would be better to tell Mr. Xie."
Xie Qian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty has learned intelligence this time. He wants to recruit troops and train soldiers, but he no longer seeks the six departments of the cabinet, nor does he draw from the garrison, but uses the Imperial Horse Supervisor... and..."
I originally wanted to say that you, a little Hanlin, are making trouble, but I feel that this seems to hurt Ye Chunqiu's self-esteem, so I stopped talking.
But then again, the emperor has directly bypassed the cabinet and the six ministries, and does not intend to spend the treasury money. Even if the Censorate makes a fuss, it seems that there is no effect. What can the cabinet say? Can you say that your Majesty, you shouldn't spend your own money?
Xie Qian pondered for a moment before saying, "I need to discuss this matter with the prince. The garrison is really too dissatisfied now, but it is too difficult to clean up. Your Majesty wants to train troops and protect the country, which is not a bad idea. But if the soldiers from the Imperial Horse Supervisor are trained, they will not be able to stop them if they want to..."
Ye Chunqiu understood what Xie Qian meant, and that's what the institution was. Once it became bloated, it would be even more difficult to lose weight. If the Imperial Horse Prison expanded the Warriors Camp, the Warriors Camp was originally an imperial guard stationed in the capital, and it would not be of great use. If it expanded tens of thousands of people in the future, it would be a expense of tens of thousands of people.
Xie Qian continued: "You and Wang Shouren can trust you to train troops. This is okay. Anyway, it's just a part-time job, so you might as well give it a try."
Ye Chunqiu did not expect that Xie Qian had no intention of opposing this matter. He vaguely remembered that the Ming Dynasty's civil servant group seemed to be the most disgusted with military training, but now he suddenly realized that it turned out that they were not opposing military training, but military officers or eunuchs' training. He thought that he might have violated some taboos and would stand opposite to the civil servant group.
Ye Chunqiu responded quickly, so he sat and looked at the small hall, waiting for someone to serve tea.
At this moment, Xie Qian was a little depressed. You said that everyone was here, so drive him away. If he just asked for a meeting at the door, he wouldn't see him anyway, so he would just let someone block him. But now he is in front of him, and if he issued an order to expel the guest, it would be too unkind.
But if you don’t drive people away, Ye Chunqiu obviously has no intention of leaving, and seems to be still waiting for tea to drink.
When the servants of the Xie family came to serve tea, Ye Chunqiu took a sip and smiled faintly: "Mr. Xie is busy with all kinds of things every day, but he still comes to bother him after he is on duty. The official is really ashamed."
Xie Qian didn't know what to say, but then listened to Ye Chunqiu and continued, "Should the official go to the back house to pay a visit to his wife?"
Xie Qian glared at the eyes and immediately looked irreconcilable: "Oh, there's no need for this, it's getting late."
Ye Chunqiu thought in disgust, I am thick-skinned anyway, and since I am here, it is better not to leave, so he smiled and said, "I heard from my mentor that Mr. Xie also likes to play chess, so you might as well serve Mr. Xie..."
Xie Qian waved his hand quickly and said, "No, no."
"Ah." Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but look regretful.
He really hoped to see Wang Jingchu's traces. Since she came to the capital, she had not met her yet. I don't know if she missed herself. Well, I miss her a lot.
Ye Chunqiu still didn't give up and said, "Then let's drink tea, hey... I suddenly felt hungry and didn't eat dinner."
Xie Qian quickly stood up: "So, Ling Zun must be waiting for you to have dinner at home?"
Ye Chunqiu shook his head: "My father is observing the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue and often does not have to stay at home."
Xie Qian had to slap his beard and stare, and his hot temper came up again: "Ye Chunqiu, since you are hungry, you should go home for dinner. I am afraid that you will not be able to eat, so I say goodbye quickly. I am hungry and I want to go to the back house for dinner."
Ye Chunqiu widened his eyes and felt like ten thousand grass and mud horses were running by. Mr. Xie was indeed unable to get in.
