Chapter 211 Don't be cowardly, just do it
"There are also a lot of brave men in the local guards, don't all get all the land or road repairs when the military department is abolished, those young people still have to pay more attention, now General Qi is forming the Dajing Division City Defense Army, the Yulin Army also needs to be expanded, I also want to form a new army, these young people in the guards are all good seedlings, the military department must contact the Dadu Governor's Mansion and do a good job of guiding, understand."

After listening to Cui Jingrong's report, Zhu Youxiao made some instructions, although the military department will not have the right to command and dispatch the army in the future, it still has many responsibilities, and it is the contact point between the army and the local government, and it is also very important.
"Yes, the old minister understands." Cui Jingrong responded.
"Although the military department has been deprived of a lot of powers, but the responsibilities have not been reduced much, as the Metropolitan Governor's Office and the cabinet of the contact transit department, the status is also very important, especially soon, the Yulin army will enter Sichuan to quell the rebellion, the military department must do a good job of supplying grain and grass along the road, without delay."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Cui Jingrong replied again.
"Hmm." Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then the next one, Huang Kezhang, a scholar from Xige University. He used to be the secretary of the Criminal Department, and later the affairs he was in charge of were similar to those here, but his affairs were not only these, he was also responsible for the formation of the police department and the financial budget of the household department.
"Ahem!" Huang Kezhang stood up, cleared his throat, and made a tirade.
"The police department has basically been established, and its main responsibilities are to manage the police stations and police in Tianzhou and counties, maintain local law and order, solve various cases, and arrest thieves. Although there is only one subordinate organ under the jurisdiction of the Jingshi Police Bureau, since His Majesty transferred a group of Yulin officers, the prefectures and counties in Hebei Province are gradually rolling out and comprehensively carrying out the construction of local police stations, and this work is expected to be completed by the end of May, and they can start operating and performing their duties in June. ”
"The Ministry of Criminal Justice is also carrying out the construction of a new type of prison, in addition to repairing the prisons directly under its management, and actively urging the construction of local prisons in Shuntianfu and Hebei Province for the separation of the judicial system and the centralized supervision of criminals." Huang Kezhang's mouth was full of novel words, which he had learned from the handwritten documents issued by the Son of Heaven, and now he uses them here.
Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded straight, the separation of the judicial system is his biggest move against civil officials at present, and there must be no mistakes, this work is done well, it can effectively divide powers, implement responsibilities, strengthen local control, and improve the judicial environment of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
In short, this is a political system reform that is beneficial and harmless, of course, Zhu Youxiao himself can't think of these details, he directly applied the judicial system of the Celestial Empire in later generations, no way, who knows this system best. Although the judiciary of the Celestial Empire in later generations has been refuted by countless people, it is still very advanced and sufficient in this era.
Among them, Director Luo Yangxing of the Shuntianfu Police Department, who has rich experience in handling cases and outstanding service ability, has put forward many valuable suggestions and made outstanding contributions to improving the police system. The police stations in various parts of Shuntianfu have also been vigorously promoted by Director Luo, and they have been operating steadily and well for more than a month, with remarkable results. ”
The name suddenly popped up, which made Zhu Youxiao stunned for a while, and then he remembered that he seemed to have appointed Luo Sigong as the police chief of Shuntian Mansion. At that time, he just wanted to deal with the security of Beijing City, after all, he was a brocade guard with many years of experience, and he knew everything very well. Now it seems that he did not expect to deal with it, and he is mixed up in this position.
Zhu Youxiao smiled and didn't say anything. However, his attitude was the best statement, although he didn't say anything, several auxiliary ministers realized that the emperor was very satisfied with this Luo Yang.
"Looks like we're going to have to pay attention to this person." Several ministers wrote down this name in their hearts, the ministers of the Son of Heaven were born, and now they have the ability to do things beautifully to satisfy the emperor, and the future is unlimited, unlimited!
Huang Kezhang still read his work report with a serious face, as if he didn't see the expression of the Son of Heaven, but judging from the slight upturn of his mouth and the flash of joy in his eyes, it was obvious that his heart was not as calm as it seemed.
"It seems that this trick really worked." Huang Kezhang was secretly happy in his heart. What he said was all true, without a trace of deception, Luo Yangxing was indeed very capable and helped him solve a lot of problems. It's just that at the beginning, he was hesitant to mention it in the report.
In the end, he thought about it for a long time, thinking about the huge changes that the Son of Heaven had made to the imperial court, he gritted his teeth and added this paragraph. The Son of Heaven went out on the expedition and returned, the results were amazing, and the eyes of the people in a place were shocked, and his position had been consolidated, and his authority had been established.
And if he wants to survive this surging tide and leave enough shade for his children and grandchildren, he is absolutely indispensable to the help of all parties, and he looks at his understanding of Luo's cultivation, this person must be a new star in the future officialdom, and he must invest as soon as possible.
Now mentioning him in front of the emperor is one of the investments, but this is not enough, far from enough.
"Yun Niang is also fifteen years old this year, and she can get married." Huang Kezhang was distracted and used for two purposes, thinking about the emperor's report to work, while turning his own careful thoughts.
"The financial budget of the household department is not good enough, first, there has never been a budget before, the ministries do not know where to start, and the household department does not know how to audit and verify, and second, the ministry is now complicated, and His Majesty's new system and old affairs are mixed together, staggered and responsible, and it is impossible to make a reasonable budget."
Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly, it seemed that he was a little impatient, there were too many things in the household department, after all, it was not a professional financial department, there was no experience and system to learn from, and it was normal that the financial budget system could not be implemented for a while.
However, it is time for the Ministry of Household Affairs to be split, this department is too huge, and its functions and powers cover the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Farmland and Water Resources, the Bureau of Land and Resources, and other departments, which is very bloated.
The idea of splitting the household department flashed in Zhu Youxiao's mind, and then he recorded it, but he didn't say anything on the spot, just said lightly, "Since it can't be implemented for the time being, let's slow it down first." ”
Seeing that the emperor was not angry, Huang Kezhang was also relieved in his heart, he gently lifted the page, and then after reporting the matter of Caoliang, he retreated.
Next is the best member of the cabinet, Wang Zuo, a scholar of the North Court University. Wang Zuo was previously the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and after entering the cabinet, he was naturally in charge of this aspect of affairs.
"This is the road construction map drawn up by the Ministry of Industry this year." Wang Zuo took out a simple drawing, which roughly indicated the provinces, and the center of the entire drawing was Jingshi, and then several lines started from Jingshi and extended outward.
"The Ministry of Industry is preparing to build five cement avenues this year, leading to Liaodong, Jiubian, Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi. The construction of the road in the Ministry of Industry is very smooth, but the cost of money is too great, and the food is also a little tight, so it cannot support too many workers, so the progress of the project has been slowed down recently. ”
Wang Zuo came up with bad news, but Zhu Youxiao did not superficially rise dissatisfied, he knew that this kind of basic public facilities construction is the most expensive investment, costly, and the effect is slow, and even some of you have invested in it, you can't see a splash at all.
"I will solve the matter of money and food as soon as possible, the progress of road construction must not be slowed down, or even accelerated, and I think Xiao Jingao's construction method is very inappropriate. Road construction does not necessarily have to be repaired from one end to the other, both sides can be started at the same time, and even some road section tasks can be directly issued to the local government and county, so that they can hit the foundation, level the road surface, and when the Ministry of Engineering arrives, just lay cement directly. ”
"Ahh Wang Zuo was slightly surprised, he didn't expect the emperor to know so much about road construction, "Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will change the plan when he goes back and speed up the construction of the road." ”
After the report of the Ministry of Rites was completed, Wang Zuo talked about the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, "The official document of the Ministry of Rites has already been sent to all localities to promote students, according to His Majesty's intentions, the number of people in each province has increased by three percent, the examination room has already been planned, and the examination content of the new subjects has been divided, and the text has been sent to the local government and county." ”
There is nothing to say about the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, they are all the rules set by Zhu Youxiao before, there is nothing to change, they are all routine affairs, after talking a few words, after letting the emperor understand, Wang Zuo automatically shut up and pushed it down.
The next one is Sun Juxiang, the imperial history of the left capital.
"Your Majesty, the construction of the Shuntian Mansion and the Hebei Provincial Metropolitan Inspection Branch is very smooth, and basically every county has set up an inspection branch." Sun Juxiang summed up all the work in one sentence.
"It's just that now that the branch courts have been built, the imperial histories of various places don't know how to carry out their work, and they are all familiar with the judicial regulations issued by His Majesty, but they can't start with the specific work."
"The same is true for the old minister, the branches of the Dali Temple in the two places have also been built, but there is no business to be carried out. The responsibilities of Dali Temple are clear, but the magistrates have shirked in many ways and refused to give up power, and the case is still heard by the county. Cao Yubian, the secretary of Dali Temple, also complained, but as he spoke, his tone became indignant.
"Hmm." Zhu Youxiao pondered for a while, "Let the cabinet issue an official document to repeat the judicial procedure, and let the local magistrates and counties not interfere with the operation of the litigation procedure, and the wording should be harsher." ”
"Sun Aiqing, after the cabinet is officially decided, don't you all have the right to supervise, if any county order dares to disobey the order, directly file a case, let the police investigate, and after the evidence is conclusive, then file a public prosecution, hand it over to the court for trial, and then send it to prison to serve his sentence." Zhu Youxiao said solemnly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister understands." Sun Juxiang and Cao Yubian glanced at each other, and a hint of joy flashed in their eyes. How could they not understand the articles written by Zhu Youxiao, and it is not a difficult thing to understand, what they are afraid of is the emperor's attitude, and now that the emperor's attitude is clear, they also know what to do.
In a word, don't be cowardly, just do it.
