Yang Xin's purpose was to find a base for his southern bandit army, and the place in Fengyang was still OK...

It's really poor there.

But it is a hub for water and land transportation, a strategic location that controls the Jianghuai River and has a high-level strategic advantage over Jiangnan.

Linhuaiguan Floating Bridge is the only bridge on the Huai River.

The main road leading to Qingliu Pass is equivalent to the national highway of this era.

Establishing a base there and building a truly strong army with militias is basically able to quickly interfere with all cities along the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. As for the problem of poverty, it is better to solve it, and it is just there to promote new crops.

Of course, Yang Xin's purpose is not the only one.

“Reform the ward?”

Apocalypse said in confusion.

"Yes, the garrison system founded by Taizu was actually good, but it was broken later. Fortunately, this system is still there. What we need is reform, that is, to militia the military households of the garrison, cancel all restrictions under their military residence, and then rent the official fields they originally cultivated to them at 30% or 40% of the land.

Originally, half of the military households were handed over to the garrison.

But the problem is that under the military system, these foods have become the fattening of the hereditary generals.

Also under the military system, military households must obey these generals, and in the end they become the latter's de facto serfs.

Since this is the case, let's start over.

First, I will try Fengyang to make a pilot project. The gangs I recruited from the mountains were useless after dealing with the Wuxi affairs, but I cannot disband them. These people are really useful. I mean to continue recruiting and then place them in Fengyang, just reclaiming land like Tianjin. But to the outside world, I don’t mean to go to reform the garrison, just give them a resettlement site. There are too many wastelands in Fengyang, and it is the most suitable place for them to reclaim land and farm.

In this way, the generals of Fengyang guards will not object, and will even cooperate in order to curry favor with the ministers.

Then they can take root there.

Then I will go to reform the Fengyang guards. At that time, it would be useless for those generals to oppose it."

Yang Xin said.

"Absolutely, these people follow the Tianjin bandit army. The wasteland they have reclaimed is considered my brother. I should also reward my brother this time."

Apocalypse said.

That's all.

The two quickly put aside their government affairs and began to continue their research on science.

To be precise, Yang Xin solved the doubts he encountered during this period for His Majesty, especially the problem of cementing steel bars in the design of Huangji Hall. In fact, it was not very technically difficult. They planned to use steel bars and cement to replace those exaggerated nanmu pillars. Yang Xin never thought of using steel bars and cement in Huangji Hall. At present, he could not provide real steel bars, and at most he could only make wrought iron bars. This kind of thing is not a big problem to make columns, but he is still not very brave to make beams.

The beams are still made of wooden.

As long as those nanmu pillars can be replaced, the cost of the three halls will be reduced directly by half.

Those huge nanmu are the main costs of the three halls. This thing must be cut down from the mountains and forests in the south and dragged out countless manpower, and then sent along the Yangtze River Canal one stop. The manpower and material resources required by each pillar are a terrifying number.

Without these pillars, the three halls themselves would not cost much.

Wrought iron tendons and cement are enough to solve this problem. Although wrought iron is not steel, it is nothing more than bolding.

Not much of a big deal.

After all, Huangji Palace is just an eight-story building that counts as the roof.

If it is not too destructive of the three views, some unimportant parts can be supported by bamboo tendons, and there is another huge cost composition that is the statues. However, this Apocalypse has been solved. Using stone statues is indeed very labor-intensive, but it doesn’t matter if it is used to make one with cement. Just the dragon that Apocalypse just rode, if it really requires craftsmen to work with artificial craftsmen, it would probably be a huge project, but His Majesty the Emperor only took dozens of craftsmen for half a month.

In short, according to their fooling methods, the entire three hall projects will definitely not exceed three million.

Yang Xin stayed in the palace until it was almost dark before returning to his home. Then, as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Huang Ying walking out of the inside angrily...

"Uh, where are you going?"

Yang Xin said in surprise.

"Go back to your own home!"

Huang Ying answered bluntly.

"elder sister."

A little cat appeared immediately behind.

It is obvious that Yang Qianshi's inner house problem finally broke out.

"You can't help it!"

Yang Qianshi took her straight away. Huang Ying twisted and struggled like a caught fish on his shoulder, but she could not break free from his hand. Then Yang Xin carried her back to the door. Xiao Miao was still moving forward to greet her, and Yang Xin picked her up in the waist.

The little meow screamed.

"What's the name? When you will call me, teach your sister well. This is the first time she has!"

Yang Xin shouted.

Then he walked straight to his main room under the astonished gaze of Xiaocao and others, carried one by one, and kicked the door at the same time...

This is how the inner house problem is solved.

After all, the key to this problem is that you cannot even get rid of the rain and dew.

But if you have the ability to fight one or two or even one or three, this problem is not a problem. When Yang Qianshi got up happily the next day, Huang Ying and Xiao Miao were already as close as sisters. Of course, Yang Xin was not interested in the fighting friendship between them. This guy could be said to be working tirelessly to solve the next problem for Apocalypse.

Cabinet lobby.

"Everyone, my elders."

Yang Xin looked at the opposite side with an unfriendly gaze.

"Gei Master Han, why don't you introduce some new teachers?"

He then said to Han.

At this time, there were a lot of cabinet masters. In addition to Han Yu and Liu Yi-yong, there were He Zongyan, Zhu Guozuo and Shi Ji-kai, all of which were ordered to recall them. Then Tianqi did not change and brought these guys for his father. In addition to the chief minister Fang Congzhe, there are currently six major clerks in the cabinet, which is not the highest record. Originally, in history, Tianqi increased sharply to nine major clerks in the third year of the three years, and the cabinet lobby was overcrowded.

He Zongyan was from Jiangxi and was a Jinshi in the 23rd year of Wanli. He was the main force in protecting the prince.

Zhu Guozuo was from Zhejiang, the top scholar in Wanli in the 11th year, and the teacher of Taichang.

Shi Jiyi was from Quanzhou and was the second place in Wanli for the 20th year. He was still a great scholar in Wanli. However, when he received the appointment, Wanli was already dead. He resigned after returning home, but Taichang insisted. Later, Tianqi also symbolically urged him that he had just arrived in the capital.

"All of them are veterans of the three dynasties!"

After Han Du introduced, Yang Xin sighed.

The elders of the three dynasties all looked at him silently, which means that he can do whatever he wants.

These five are all old foxes, and they are not interested in talking nonsense with him. Moreover, four of these five are close to Donglin, which means Shi Jiyi is neutral, but they still stand on the side of Donglin on this principle. After all, Yang Xin is the public enemy of civil officials and gentry. Although Zhu Guozuo is from Zhejiang, he is Jiaxing, and Jiaxing is the sphere of influence of the Donglin Party. Especially when Yang Xin just killed a top scholar from Jiaxing, this old top scholar was even more angry when he saw him.

"Then I'll just say it."

Yang Xin said with a slightly awkward smile.

The five old foxes continued to remain silent, and the semicircle surrounded him, turning a blind eye to him.

"First of all, Gao Panlong must die, and Gao Gu's family must search the house."

Yang Xin said.

There is still silence.

Anyway, if the five old foxes did not issue the bill, Tianqi could only issue the imperial edict itself. The emperor issued the imperial edict and would attract opposition from all over the country. After all, this was not in line with the rules. Even if the Gao Gu family was still confiscated, they were framed and wronged by the eunuch party. Benevolent and ambitious people from all over the country would not give up speaking up for them. However, the cabinet issued this bill to represent the official concession of the Donglin Party, and the civil servant system accepted the emperor's complete suppression. This was the last position to stand firm, and the surrender here represented the emperor's complete victory.

"My dear elders, silence is useless. If you don't issue the bill, then this case will not end. Yang will continue to go to Jiangnan and continue to investigate this case. What I will do, I think you are already very clear about it.

Why bother?

Why both sides suffer?

Ye Taishan has entered Beijing. I think you already know what we will do next.

We can talk about what conditions are there, but this kind of refusal to cooperate is not good. You are all veterans of the three dynasties, so you won’t be as angry as children. We are all adults, so why not discuss the issue in the form of adults?”

Yang Xin said.

"Chief Yang really wants to talk about it?"

Han Du said.

"Of course, talk openly and honestly."

Yang Xin said.

"First, the Jinyiwei must not arrest him at will without a car."

Han Du said.

"No, in fact, Your Majesty just allowed the Jinyiwei to encounter an emergency case, and you can arrest him first and then return to Beijing to make up for your visa."

Yang Xin answered very simply.

This is a fact. Besides, he has already started this, and whether the Apocalypse is allowed or not has started. The rest is just based on this convention. Moreover, the arrest of this driver is not reasonable. For those sudden cases, the Jinyiwei cannot have kung fu visas. Speaking of which, there is no restriction on arresting a person by local inspections and arresting a person, the county magistrate even wrote a detention ticket himself. When he arrived at the Jinyiwei to arrest the person, he had to go to the criminal department to sign the driver.

In the past, I even had to prepare a lot of materials, just like going to the procuratorate to apply for arrest.

There is not even the right to detain.

This Jinyiwei was so frustrated.

"Is this the attitude of Yang Qianshi talking about?"

Zhu Guozuo said.

"Since it's a negotiation, of course some agree and some disagree. If they all agree, wouldn't it be your unilateral order? We don't agree with this, but I can promise to be unyielding and make a move, at least not beat people like Wang Wenyan."

Yang Xin said.

He was still reserved about torture and confession.

Whether it is science or various examples, it has proved that if you are labeled as Wang Wenyan and don’t confess, you will basically not care about torture. Other means must be taken for these. Fortunately, there are too many loopholes in the legal loopholes in the Ming Dynasty. There are actually many ways to obtain confessions from people like this.
