It was not until noon that the young general affairs envoy, the governor, walked out of the governor's office and returned to his headquarters.

In the yamen, it was just as the officer said, stir-fried beef, braised chicken, salted duck and a few stir-fried wild vegetables.

Although the dishes change every ten days, the same dishes are always the same, which inevitably makes people feel tasteless.

At this time, the stir-fried wild vegetables seem even more delicious.

It’s just that after a while, winter will come and even wild vegetables won’t be available to eat.

The vegetables grown around the Imperial Hot Spring outside the city were insufficient to supply the royal family alone. It was not known whether the greenhouse cultivation that Superintendent Shanglin Yuan had been tinkering with for a long time had matured now.

Wang Xinling picked up the food casually, thinking a lot in his mind.

Suddenly he was stunned for a moment, and then he cursed secretly to himself.

cheap!

In the past, the imperial court didn't have so many benefits, and it would have been nice to have someone who stuttered. But now I am becoming picky.

Although he was cursing in his heart, Wang Xinling still felt that he hoped that the imperial court could get more new vegetable seeds from the New World as soon as possible.

It would be better if there were some poultry meat that is not available in the Central Plains.

After finishing their meals, the officials of the Ming Dynasty had a half-hour lunch break.

At this time, most people will choose to stay in their own classroom, make themselves a pot of tea, and then take a short nap.

When the time comes, if there is still something to do, I will continue to be busy. If there is nothing, I will discuss everything with my colleagues and arrange tomorrow's things in advance.

In the officialdom, this is the time of the daily intermission.

In the Selected Works of the Ministry of Officials, the official doctor of the Qing Dynasty was Bai Yuxiu, but he did not take a rest.

After having lunch at the Libu Yamen, Bai Yuxiu left the Libu Yamen with a few documents related to the affairs of the chieftains in the southwest.

From Qinglong Street, turn directly to East Chang'an Street and enter the Imperial City through the left gate of Chang'an.

Bai Yuxiu passed through Chengtian Gate, Duanmen and Meridian Gate all the way, and then entered the Forbidden City.

Pass through Zuoshun Gate on the east side of Wulong Bridge, and to the south is Wenyuan Pavilion.

Bai Yuxiu has walked this road many, many times.

Officials like him, among the 50,000 civil and military officials in the government, there are only a few who can walk on this path.

Entered Wenyuan Pavilion.

Bai Yuxiu stood outside the cabinet room, took a deep breath, and then gently knocked on the door frame.

"I'm a lower-ranking official. Bai Yuxiu is a doctor in the Qing Dynasty's Department of Civil Affairs. If you have anything to do, please see Mr. Ge."

The cabinet seemed to be discussing something. When Bai Yuxiu's voice came from outside, the voice paused slightly.

Then, a voice came from inside.

"Xiaobai, come in."

Bai Yuxiu nodded and pushed the door open, walked into the cabinet room, and saw a group of cabinet ministers in red robes staring at her with smiles.

It would be reasonable to say that Ren Hengtai, Xie Jin, Zhai Shan, and Gao Yangzhi had such expressions towards Bai Yuxiu.

After all, Ren Hengtai admires this newbie.

Xie Jin and Gao Yangzhi, one considers himself the teacher and the other considers himself the senior, and their friendship is even more profound.

Zhai Shan, on the other hand, admired Bai Yuxiu because he was from his official department and acted very decently on weekdays.

On the contrary, Xu Yungong, Mu Ying, and Li Jinglong, who were above, also had smiles on their faces and quietly watched Bai Yuxiu walk in.

Li Jinglong was even the first to say with a smile on his face: "I just dropped off a pack of black tea from our place this morning, what else are you going to drop by now?"

Bai Yuxiu looked a little embarrassed.

I was obviously very careful when I went along, but I was still discovered.

He immediately nodded and bowed: "I don't dare to be a lower-ranking official. I have something to report to the elders."

Ren Hengtai, the chief assistant, was sitting on the throne and pressed his hand to Li Jinglong with a smile on his face: "You want to have tea, I have a few bags here, they are all tribute from Fujian Road, go back and get them yourself, and

What do you call a junior?"

Li Jinglong immediately turned his head and squeezed his teeth: "I am not teasing with him. Now that the first assistant has spoken, I will not be polite until the next day."

Ren Hengtai was naturally willing to maintain a harmonious relationship with this important figure in the military who had just been promoted to the title of Duke.

Ren Hengtai nodded: "You take it, you take it, it's yours!"

Zhai Shan looked at the document in Bai Yuxiu's arms with a smile and said softly: "Xiao Bai comes here at this time, what happened down there?"

Zhai Shan is now in the cabinet, but he also serves as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Bai Yuxiu is the doctor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Selected Officials of the Qing Dynasty. He comes to the cabinet to report affairs. It is natural for him, an official of the headquarters, to intervene.

Bai Yuxiu immediately stepped forward and carefully placed the paperwork in her arms on the desk next to Zhai Shan.

At this time, Bai Yuxiu also explained to others: "The news I just got today is that there is some trouble in the Tusi territory in the southwest. It has been for half a year. If it were not for the surrounding counties and Dusi Yamen, they were worried that the trouble would continue.

If we go down, we might get involved, so we decided to report to the court. I’m afraid we still don’t know about the troubles in the southwest."

"The Southwest Chieftain is causing trouble again?"

When Xu Yungong heard this, he immediately frowned and asked in a deep voice.

He is the first person in the military cabinet, and even Li Jinglong, who has the title of county prince, is also under him.

Troubles among the southwestern chieftains were never too minor. Once they were out of control, they would become a major turmoil that would spread to countless prefectures and counties. The court would need to deploy troops and generals and spend countless money and food before it could be quelled.

Now the country is preparing to use troops in the northwest and plateau. If the chieftains in the southwest start a rebellion at this time, the governor's office will be very busy.

In the cabinet room, everyone saw Xu Yungong's reaction and immediately understood. They all looked solemn, waiting for Bai Yuxiu's further explanation.

However, Bai Yuxiu shook her head: "It's a bit strange this time. There is no news about the chaos in the Tusi territory in the southwest, and no news has reached the capital. Now, I don't know what the reason is for the chaos there.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The lower official also knows that the elders are currently discussing the use of troops in the northwest and plateau. He also knows that the chieftains in the southwest are closest to the Sichuan Road. Once a big chaos occurs, the Sichuan Road and the Sichuan Road

The capital will inevitably be distracted, which may affect the cabinet's deployment."

There was silence in the cabinet room.

Regardless of the civil and military cabinet ministers, their faces showed solemnity.

Just as Bai Yuxiu said, once a major turmoil breaks out in the southwest Tusi area at this time, the imperial military forces in the southwest will inevitably be dragged into the fight against the rebellion.

By that time, if the imperial court wants to implement the strategy of the Western Regions, it will inevitably be implicated.

Because if the Ming Dynasty wanted to recreate the grandeur of the Han and Tang Dynasties, regain the Western Regions, and revive its thinking, it would have to use troops in the northwest.

To use troops in the northwest, we cannot just send troops from Yumen Pass to attack the Western Regions.

They also need to coordinate attacks on the plateau from Xiningwei and Chengdu Prefecture to suppress the Tibetans on the plateau.

Only in this way can we ensure that Shaanxi Xingdu Division's military strength can fully attack the Western Regions without any worries.

One hair move affects the whole body.

Once chaos breaks out in the southwest, Sichuan's troops cannot be used to attack the plateau and will be hampered by the chieftain rebellion in the southwest. The imperial court's strategy of conquering the Western Regions must be suspended.

As for the strategy of managing the Western Regions, it was Xie Jin who first proposed it.

When the cabinet room was silent, several people had already looked at Xie Jin silently several times.

After thinking deeply, Xie Jin finally raised his head and looked at Bai Yuxiu.

"Xiaobai is now well versed in the military, state, and society. He can see the whole picture at a glance, which shows that he is capable of taking on big responsibilities."

This is an affirmation of Bai Yuxiu's entry into the palace and cabinet today to report to the Southwest Chieftain.

A smile appeared on Bai Yuxiu's face, but it was quickly suppressed.

At this time, Xie Jin looked at Ren Hengtai again.

"Does the First Assistant think that the signs of trouble in the Southwest should be identified as soon as possible and put down as soon as possible?"

These words almost forced Ren Hengtai to nod in agreement.

After all, according to him, if the signs discovered now are not thoroughly investigated and quelled, if there really is a big trouble, it will be because Ren Hengtai, the chief assistant, mishandled it.

Ren Hengtai was a little helpless.

He did know that Xie Jin did not mean to force himself, but only made this choice because the imperial court's grand strategy might be affected by the southwest.

Ren Hengtai did not nod immediately, but looked at Xu Yungong: "What kind of trouble does Wei Guogong think is happening in the southwest this time, and what are the chieftains there doing?"

Suddenly, he was overwhelmed by Xu Yungong.

Xu Yungong frowned.

The chieftains in the southwest used to fight over a river, but a few trees could start a war.

It would be strange if he knew what happened this time.

But the chief assistant asked the question in public, but he couldn't keep silent.

Xu Yungong pondered and said in a low voice: "Perhaps like in the past, the chaos between several chieftains was caused by the conflict of interests.

After all, according to the current news, the chaos has been occurring for half a year.
To be continued...
