Yang Sichang knew that this kind of summoned by the emperor's platform usually means that he would be reused by the emperor.

Just like job seekers in later generations interviewing top 500 companies, whether they can successfully learn civil and martial arts, goods and imperial families is at this opportunity.

Therefore, Yang Sichang did not dare to deal with it casually, and hurriedly bowed to Zhu Youxiao seriously:

"Report to Your Majesty, in my opinion, agreeing to the Tatars' proposal for peace is a superior strategy. Although Your Majesty has repeatedly waived taxes and trained troops to strengthen the army, the famine continues to worsen, and the military is still in decline. The defense of the city can still support one or two, but there are no soldiers who are good at fighting to conquer the rebellion. If you take advantage of the peace talks, you can get three to five years to eliminate bad policies, accumulate money and food, train troops, and set up heavy troops in Denglai, Shanhaiguan, Lushun, Pidao and other places, and then join forces with Mongolia to form an encirclement against the Tatars and the traitor Wu Xiang tribe, and then take the initiative to attack, you will not worry about unfairness of Liaodong."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sigh that Yang Sichang is worthy of being a military strategist. His strategic ideas are really one by one. It is like his strategy of four straights and six corners and ten sides of the net during the Chongzhen Dynasty. He now proposed the same similar strategy, adopting a three-sided encirclement method to encircle the enemy in Liaodong.

This kind of perspective that focuses on overall warfare and focuses on the overall situation really made Zhu Youxiao secretly respect it.

But Zhu Youxiao had to admit that Yang Sichang was much inferior in command, and his performance was far inferior to his theoretical strategy. Zhang Xianzhong, who was a bandit, could force him to commit suicide. This also shows that an excellent strategyist is not necessarily an excellent tactical commander. Although Yang Sichang has a good overall view, he is also a theorist who has never been on the battlefield. To put it in a derogatory sense, he is just a treacherous sarcasm.

This kind of people has been uncommon since ancient times, and it is particularly common in the Ming Dynasty. After all, most of the military personnel in the Ming Dynasty were literati. They were good at empty talk and short of practice, so they could sit in the temple to criticize current problems and make plans. However, once they lead the troops to fight, they would be blind and have a lot of knowledge. Whether it is the Tartars or the bandits, they would not cooperate with you, and they would honestly bury into your pocket.

What Zhu Youxiao had to do was to change this wrong military command model. Except for a few civil and military versatile talents like Lu Xiangsheng, the generals had to take charge of the war, and the comprehensive layout of the civil servants was done by the civil servants. Even if they had to control the military generals to prevent the phenomenon of self-respecting the military officers, they would not let the civil servants control the command of the military officers. At most, the role of political commissar appeared in advance. In the future, the grassroots commanders at all levels of the imperial guard system will not be one leader, but two equal-level leaders, but different divisions of labor, just like the current deputy commander.

"It's very good. It's rare that you are so enlightened. Seeing that the peace is imminent, I intend to let you be the deputy envoy. What do you think?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

Yang Sichang did not refuse, and hurriedly bowed: "I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty and volunteer to discuss with the Tartars."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded and hurriedly said, "Yang Sichang, accept the order! Then you will be the doctor of the Ministry of War Wuxuan Department, and be appointed as the fourth-rank Zhongshun Doctor, assisting the Left Minister Lu Xiangsheng to handle the affairs of the Ministry of War. After the peace talks are settled, he will serve as the deputy envoy. He will join the Left Minister of Rites to rush to Jizhou to discuss peace talks with the Tatars."

Yang Sichang hurriedly thanked him and retreated. He was a local official for many years, had been a local official, and had also been a small official in the capital. Therefore, he could also be indifferent to him, neither happy nor sad.

Yang Sichang, who was originally promoted to Lu Xiang a higher level than Lu Xiangsheng in the original history and directly caused Lu Xiangsheng to die in battle, became a subordinate of Lu Xiangsheng in this life.

When Zhu Youxiao thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, because of his appearance, the fate of historical figures was also beginning to change.

However, now that Yang Sichang is asked to assist in the affairs of the Ministry of War, Lu Xiangsheng has indeed lifted a lot of burdens. With Yang Sichang's years of experience as an official, he is very familiar with presiding over the affairs of the Ministry of War.

Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied with this situation. Now the entire Ming Dynasty, from Liaodong to the northwest and then to the central government, was considered to be a capable minister. Now there is only one Yuan Keli who is not used. Zhu Youxiao planned to regain his reinstatement as the governor of Denglai after he recovered from his illness.

As Yang Sichang said, Denglai was a military important area that controls Liaodong and was the best place to control Liaodong at sea. It is not unimportant. Yuan Keli was the governor of Denglai at that time, and used Denglai as a base to harass and guerrillas the rear of the Tatars, thus expanding the actual control area of ​​the Denglai army. It is precisely because of this that Mao Wenlong from Dongjiang Town appeared.

I will not express this for the time being. Now, with the establishment of the Royal Industrial Company and the Royal Bank, the economy has begun to have a foothold in Zhu Youxiao; and with the expansion of the Imperial Guards, Zhu Youxiao's military voice will naturally be strengthened. Even in important places, there are effective ministers in charge. In addition to Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Wang Zaijin and Yang Sichang, there are also Wei Zhongxian in the south and Qin Liangyu in the southwest.

It can be said that Zhu Youxiao does not have to worry about any more trouble in the Ming Dynasty. Even if the peasant army such as Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong really rises up at this time, he can handle it well.

However, on this day, Hu Shouchun suddenly asked to see Zhu Youxiao because the high interest rates of the Royal Bank had already caused almost everyone in the entire capital to come to the Royal Bank to store it. However, a problem arises, that is, the people store many types of silver, gold, copper coins, and even treasure money that can be seen in the Ming Dynasty.

But this has increased the bank's conversion costs a lot.

Zhu Youxiao also felt that it was time to unify the currency. Gold and silver are indeed the only effective general equivalents in economic life, but due to their physical properties, they are not convenient to circulate in the market. Especially in the Tianqi Dynasty, where commodity economic activities are becoming more and more developed, it is common for a transaction to be sold millions and millions. You can't carry hundreds of thousands of taels of silver on your body when doing a transaction. Even if there are silver notes instead, silver notes cannot serve as the role of replacing gold and silver as general equivalents.
