The Emperor of the Apocalypse is getting married!

This news generally blew through the Jingshi, so that the people chatted after tea and dinner with a little more talk, and the ordinary people were just envious of the emperor Yanfu in words, but some brokers in the Jingshi who were clear about this door were talking about the different post-election procedures this time.

In the past, after the election, the eunuchs in the palace were sent to all parts of the country to select young girls from thirteen to sixteen, which was the audition, and then the five thousand girls after the audition were brought to Beijing for further screening, and after a series of responsible procedures, three girls were selected to let the emperor appoint the empress.

However, now it is different when it comes to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, there are only about a thousand eunuchs in the palace now, which is only enough to do things, and there is no extra to send outside, so the eunuchs will not be sent, and the audition personnel will be declared by the local officials, sent to the Beijing Division, and will participate in the election.

In the past, a large number of palace maids were usually included in the post-selection process, and this is also the reason why many folk families heard about the emperor's draft and married their daughters one after another, and no one wanted to send their daughters to the deep palace to suffer. However, this time it is different, this time only one queen and two concubines are selected, a total of three young girls, and if the others are not selected, they will all be given a certain amount of silver taels and sent home.

After Zhu Youxiao's rectification, the Forbidden City has a fixed number of service personnel, only a thousand eunuchs remained, and there will be no increase in the future, when this batch of old people die, the eunuchs will gradually disappear, and other affairs, all adopt the employment system, rough work to hire strong women, as for the palace maids and the like, then sign an employment contract, hire for three years, and return home after three years.

In Zhu Youxiao's vision, the Forbidden City will gradually become an office space, and the number of service personnel such as palace maids will gradually be reduced to a certain number.

This time I can't get through the previous draft activities, so that all folk families can rest assured, since they don't choose a palace maid, then they don't have to rush to marry their daughters, not to mention that the bride price can't be received, and a large dowry will be pasted. As for the three women to be chosen, many people don't take it to heart, and in their minds, this kind of thing is very unrelated to their own families.

Only those who want to be rich and wealthy and have beautiful daughters at home will be concerned about this matter. As for the officials, they were also relieved to see that the principle of this post-election event was voluntary, and they only paid no attention to it after an announcement was made in the county.

Of course, they didn't do nothing at all, after all, they were elected, what if the girl they elected became the queen? Isn't that what you can do? With such speculative ideas, the prefects of various counties and counties collected and probed, and got a few high-quality ones to send them. Anyway, the emperor didn't stipulate the quantity, and even if he completed the task, no one could say anything, whether it was successful or not, it was all in the sky.

Xiangfu County, Henan Province has such a typical example, when the county learned the news of the emperor's election, he immediately thought of the daughter of Zhang Guoji under his rule, it is rumored that this woman is dignified and virtuous, and she knows at a young age to help her father take care of her younger brothers and sisters, and she is absolutely virtuous and virtuous.

The magistrate immediately found Zhang Guoji in a hurry, and when he told him about it, Zhang Guoji was a little hesitant at first, but when he heard that only three people were selected, and the rest returned home, he immediately agreed.

This is simply a good thing, going out from the government, don't worry about the safety of your daughter, if you choose, your father and daughter are expensive, and you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future, even if you don't choose, your daughter will come back, this experience is used as a way to broaden your horizons, go out and practice, after this experience, maybe your daughter will be able to marry better in the future.

After thinking through these joints, Zhang Guoji immediately agreed, and in this way, Zhang Yanxiao, who was fifteen years old, was sent to the capital and will compete with other beauties from all over the world.

The draft is a matter of great difficulty, especially this kind of national activity, if you want to get to the end, it will take at least three months, so after Zhu Youxiao spent the initial shyness, he ignored it and handed over the matter to the cabinet, and it seems that Li Ruhua, the first assistant, is particularly concerned about this matter, and personally leads it to preside over the post-election activities.

In such a situation, Zhu Youxiao is a little idle, but he does not dare to carry out any reforms, and everything must be done in a certain way, and the same is true for reforms. There are already a lot of systems in place this year, and they can't be changed, and if they are changed again, they will be caught off guard and accept what they can't.

Now is the time to change the strategy of making great progress, to calm down, and wait for the previous measures to take root, operate, mature, and play their due role.

Hebei Province is slowly getting on the right track, and new institutions are playing a role; The Dajing Division's city defense army is expanding to Yanshan and the Great Wall, receiving the checkpoints there; Nanzhili is being divided, and the officials of the six departments of Nanjing are all staying in the locality; Liaodong has dealt with foreign troubles, and under the auspices of Sun Chengzong, it is vigorously immigrating, vigorously developing, and fully implementing Zhu Youxiao's new system.

All of this takes time, and the entire Ming Empire, the cabinet, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion are all tense and running at high speed, and it is really not suitable to add any tasks at this time.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao didn't start having fun just like that, he quickly found something to do.

When he was in Tianjin, an official named Li Zhizao suggested to him that a higher school should be opened so that those children who graduated from Yanchang Primary School could continue their education and learn more advanced knowledge, so that they could play a greater role.

Zhu Youxiao felt that it made sense when he heard it, and then he brought Li Zhizao back, and in addition to studying the steel keel technology, the people of the Tiangong Research Institute also tried to write textbooks.

Different from the private schools everywhere in the Ming Dynasty at this time, the knowledge that these children want to learn is very biased towards the science and engineering classes of later generations, so that the textbook is a big trouble, not only to consider the theory, but also to connect with the practice, and this kind of textbook has no precedent, it is completely from scratch, and it takes a lot of effort just to check the information.

Even if Tang Ruowang joined the Tiangong Research Institute later, it would be useless, what he knew was more advanced and lacked cohesion. And in this kind of slow progress situation, Bo Fanji came over with Yu Zhigao's letter of recommendation. There are many foreign priests, Zhu Youxiao doesn't care very much, but the things that this priest carries make him have to care.

The priest brought a lot of books, very, very many books, and the total number of books in various languages was more than 7,000 volumes, and it happened that at this time, there was a Li Zhizao who was proficient in many foreign languages in the Tiangong Research Institute, and the two of them hit it off immediately, and they immediately joined the same stream.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Youxiao felt lucky, and had to say that Li Zhizao and Bo Fanji were a match made in heaven, with the joining of this missionary, the progress of the textbook was greatly accelerated, and the results were soon produced.

What Zhu Youxiao didn't know was that in the original history, it was Li Zhizao and Bo Fanji who cooperated with each other to reflect the ten-volume "Famous Detective" and introduce Western logic to China. Now, in this new stage of history, the two are working together again to translate books, but this time the volume is much larger.

Now that the textbooks are out, the school site is easier to find, so many nobles have been implicated in raiding their homes, and they can find a spacious building under the transformation.

On July 8, the first year of the Apocalypse, the Baigong College was quietly established in the southern city of Beijing, and the first batch of students were 500 children who had just graduated from the Tianjin salt field.

In the future, as this new type of primary school in the inner government spreads from the salt field to all the factories and businesses under the inner government, there will be more and more students of the Baigong College, and the teenagers who have returned from their studies will join the inner government and gradually grow up to become the backbone and pillar of the new generation of technology.

A fresh hematopoietic cycle is thus formed.

As for the first dean of the Baigong College, Zhu Youxiao was very unexpectedly appointed as Tang Ruowang, which not only made the other party ecstatic, but it meant that His Majesty the Great Emperor accepted them, which was an excellent start.

Although His Majesty the Emperor did not allow him to preach to these students, he made a promise that if John Tong found fifty more knowledgeable missionaries, he would build a cathedral in the inner city and allow him to preach in Beijing.

This is a very formal promise, and even this promise is written on the holy decree, but it is not stamped with the supreme seal of the party for the time being, and it has not taken effect.

Beginning with the missionaries of the previous generations, it has been several decades now, and seeing that his long-cherished wish is about to be fulfilled, John Tong is not so moved that he immediately writes a letter to the West to ask the Catholic Mission Society to send 50 learned priests.

At the same time, in order to speed up, he also kept releasing news in Macao and Nanyang, hoping to recruit more missionaries wandering overseas and build the cathedral as soon as possible.

The reason why Zhu Youxiao relented was that in addition to the upcoming July 15 and the Taoist Reform Conference, he suddenly discovered the true role of missionaries, who were used to study some sophisticated techniques and act as a teacher to spread Western philosophy and some advanced knowledge in the Ming Dynasty.

Compared with these, it is only a trivial matter to open his mouth to promise Catholicism to preach in the interior, and besides, even if he does not allow it, Catholicism will still spread, this is the trend of cultural exchange, which cannot be stopped, in this case, it is better to exchange this situation for some benefits.

For the Chinese people, Zhu Youxiao is very confident, even if he believes in religion, in their hearts, the most important thing is the ancestors, and this will never change. Any religion will be forcibly changed into a form that suits itself by their strong assimilation ability.

The decree issued by the Catholic Emperor in later generations allowing Chinese believers to worship their ancestors is the best proof of this.

As for whether the high-precision technology researched by the missionaries will be spread, Zhu Youxiao is not afraid at all, not to mention that the thinking habits of the two countries are different, the long distance alone is an obstacle, and when the technology spreads to the West, the Ming Dynasty may launch more advanced ones.

What's more, now is not the information age of the future, a USB flash drive can hold all the information, in this era of communication by roaring, the data and drawings are written on paper, no one can remember everything by memory, with the supervision of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, Zhu Youxiao believes that in a short period of time, it is impossible for technology to leak.
