After the battle of Guihua City, the weather of the entire grassland was cloudy and foggy, and the sun was smiling, swaying in the sky all day long, and when it came to the third lunar month, that is, the fourth month of the Gregorian calendar, the weather of the entire grassland began to warm up. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

Although the wind was cold, it was not so cold. At this time, the Naturalization City was a busy scene. Countless cattle, sheep and horses are grazing leisurely under the care of herdsmen, and more are grassland herdsmen who are busy like ants.

They were gathered here, broke ground, and expanded the outer city on the original basis of the naturalized city, and after the cement, the construction of the city was much easier, and it can be seen from the foundation being laid at this moment that a huge city is gradually rising.

Outside, the coolies were noisy, but in the naturalized city, Zhu Youxiao was handling government affairs safely and abnormally, and it was about ten days before the end of the battlefield. His army went nowhere else, just swept the steppes and wiped out smaller tribes.

Since there was no need for indirect control by the chieftains and nobles, the raids of the hussars and horsemen were quite bloody, killing their leaders, plundering the herdsmen, and bringing back cattle, sheep and horses.

At this moment, near Guihua City, because of his actions, a population of four or five hundred thousand people gathered at once, fortunately, the country of Indochina sent a large amount of food when he paid tribute, otherwise he would not be able to afford the chewing of many people.

Coupled with the desperate transfer of grain by the Tiangong Merchant and the Logistics Department, he finally made the supply of various materials normal.

The cavalry went to sweep, while the infantry stayed behind to watch over the crowd and build the city. At the same time, groups of landless peasants from the interior were sent here, most of them from Hebei, Shanxi, and Shaanxi, and the local land was not enough, and the land they wanted to divide could only be handled in this way.

Of course, they did not suffer a loss, after coming to the Naturalization City, there were ready-made cattle, sheep and horses to distribute to them, there were built houses, there were carriages sent by the emperor for free, as well as the orders and contracts of the Tiangong firm and some other merchants involved in the wool textile industry, and there was even a settling-in fee of five silver coins.

They don't have to worry about their future life at all, they just need to worry about whether they can adapt to life on the grassland.

At the same time, with the steady stream of support from the inland and the support of the internal government, Zhu Youxiao's manpower and material resources are much greater than those of the cabinet.

The arrival of officials, scribes, policemen, merchants, and countless others made this place extremely prosperous, and with the emperor in charge, it was very safe. With Zhu Youxiao's intervention, many busy textile industries have migrated here, and the wool is so fluffy, it is better to process it on the spot, make it into various finished products and then sell them.

With output, population, and security, a commercial megacity gradually took shape. Of course, these are all assumptions for the future, but everything is predictable.

Sitting in the glazed Jinluan Palace, Zhu Youxiao looked at the various feedbacks on the paperwork, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, the situation in the Naturalization City was completed. When Baicheng also developed, the two cities were separated, which can be regarded as clamping the chassis of Inner Mongolia in later generations.

This expedition to Lin Dan Khan can be described as a huge gain, not only to obtain a large number of people and chassis, but more importantly, the acquisition of war horses, he finally let his 100,000 cavalry get two horses, no longer the same as before, every march is a slow walk, until after receiving the enemy before the charge.

With two horses, especially the Mongolian war horses with long endurance, his two troops can be regarded as having the capital to run long distances and have the ability to maneuver on a large scale.

This is a huge significance, and it is a strategic change.

With the naturalization city on the right track, the formation of the police force, the formation of the city defense army, and the placement of various officials, the role of the field army gradually diminished, and finally they were even withdrawn from their daily routine and stationed alone at the foot of Daqingshan.

They are all young men with strong blood, and they have experienced the war, and they don't know how many negative emotions they hold in their hearts, although these have been suppressed by Zhu Youxiao with strict military discipline and generous rewards, but once they are leisurely, there is nothing to do, and there will still be accidents.

Therefore, because he still had to wait for a period of time in the prairie, Zhu Youxiao carried out a big study activity, and everyone gathered in the evening to collectively study cultural classes, literacy and literacy, and the teacher was the 5,000 people who were assigned to the army after the imperial examination last year.

Although there are many people who have been assigned to the four headquarters, the rest alone is more than enough.

As for the daytime, it is even simpler, as soon as the military competitions, military academies, basketball, football, and various activities are launched, the 200,000 young men are having a lot of fun, not only exercising their military qualities, but also relaxing. Later, Zhu Youxiao even used the singers and dancers snatched from various Mongolian high-level leaders to form a singing and dancing troupe and perform in the army, completely relaxing the army from the tension of the war.

"Your Majesty, it's time here, why don't you go back to the court, why are you spending food and salary here." In the face of the emperor's delay, the new prefect of Hohhot, Comrade Chen Zizhuang, the left senator of Inner Mongolia Province, asked.

Because of his outstanding contribution to Hebei's land reform work, he came out of the Ducha system and was promoted here, and there are many officials like him, and even some officials from small officials, this time he was directly promoted to the magistrate and contributed to the empire on the land of Inner Mongolia.

In the Ming Dynasty, there are not many others, and there are a lot of people who can be officials, not to mention tens of thousands of people, but those civil servants and other miscellaneous petty officials, I don't know how many, their ability is not bad, but they are poor in learning, so they did not pass the imperial examination, and their future is limited.

Now that Zhu Youxiao has broken the shackles of the imperial examination and promoted many people, so that he can give full play to his ability, under such a large base, Zhu Youxiao is not worried about some people resigning from the official position, and there are many people who want to be officials all over the world.

Faced with Chen Zizhuang's question, Zhu Youxiao smiled and replied, "I am waiting, waiting for the arrival of a letter." ”

"Wait?" Chen Zizhuang was puzzled, not knowing what kind of twists and turns the emperor needed to wait.

Daming, Jingshi.

In the Wenhua Palace, several Zaifu gathered together, sat around the table, reporting work, sitting on the top, naturally the nominal second-assistant, the actual first-aided Xu Guangqi, below him, there were a few people sitting on the left and right.

Now that I have been working for so long, I have understood each other's abilities, and the work in charge has been confirmed, Wang Zuo, as always, is in charge of the Ministry of Engineering and presides over the current high-profile road construction plan of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Xieyuan was in charge of personnel work, mainly to evaluate and supervise the officials of the following provinces, so that they could earnestly implement the various documents issued by the cabinet.

Not only should it be sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for the review of the charges, but also administrative punishment, dismissal, never resumption, how many generations are prohibited from the imperial examination, and how close relatives are also prohibited from the imperial examination. The punishment measures of various Zhulian are quite serious, which makes the officials below complain, but it is precisely in this way that the Ming officials who have been lazy and accustomed to it are rare to be diligent and handle various things.

As for the others, Bi Ziyan is in charge of economic work, in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Finance, as well as the General Administration of Taxation and the General Administration of Customs.

Cai Fuyi is in charge of violent agencies, such as the military department and the police department. He is responsible for the formation, execution, internal purge, and even training of police stations in various places. As for the affairs of the Ministry of War, although Hebei is gradually carrying out militia training, it is still to be discussed whether this system really wants to be implemented throughout the country. Moreover, even if there is no problem, there is not so much manpower and material resources to implement it at this time.

The last Li Changgeng was in charge of culture, education and diplomacy, working with Yang Lian and He Ruzhong, dealing with the Hanlin Academy and the Tiangong Academy every day, standardizing the publishing houses across the country, surveying books, and then publishing some books, or adjusting the relationship between the feudal states. It's the easiest job. However, because he has the Imperial Daily newspaper all over the country, his responsibilities are not light.

Among the twelve departments, the Zongren Mansion has always been a loner, and it doesn't even go to the court, and the affairs inside are all decided by Wang Changyue, and when I usually see them in the cabinet, they basically come to ask for money.

The Ministry of State and the Ministry of Household are in charge of the first assistant Xu Guangqi Zhang, and at the same time, he personally commands and supervises the land reform work.

This is the current power structure of the center of the Ming Dynasty, each of them has a bunch of things, where to summarize the first assistant every day, discuss with each other to exchange their influences, and then work, quite a kind of democratic centralism.

There is no way, it is different from the past, because the emperor has a strong desire to control, and the affairs of the cabinet have suddenly increased a lot, and such a manpower must be taken care of, otherwise the whole world will be chaotic.

However, gathered today, they did not talk about their work, but together they discussed a rather serious issue, the imperial examination.

Since the emperor wanted to reform last year, when he took the examination, he set up a number of imperial examination subjects, diverted the examination of the people, and then canceled the palace examination, and directly determined the life based on the results of the examination, this year's imperial examination form has not been determined.

Next year, the fourth year of the Apocalypse, going to work is the examination of Xiucai, and in the second half of the year, it is the autumn festival, and the year after tomorrow is the spring festival, and then what makes people depressed is that until now, the emperor has not set the form of the imperial examination.

If it was placed in the previous dynasty, he would definitely not want to take the eight shares, needless to say, but in the face of the extremely powerful Emperor of the Apocalypse, these officials didn't count in their hearts.

Last time, I changed the style and content of the test.,I don't know if I'll change it this time.。

"Lord Xu, I don't know what Your Majesty means." A few elders asked as if they were forced to be in the palace. There is no way, before the emperor set out, he talked with Xu Guangqi for a whole night, and no one would believe it if he said that he was not explaining the government affairs after leaving.

It's just that in the face of the difficult colleagues, Xu Guangqi could only helplessly spread his hands, "Your Majesty really didn't say anything about the imperial examination." ”
