With the gradual shift of the focus of the Ming Dynasty's economic reform and sea trade, Fujian, as a region with thousands of years of experience in opening up sea trade, can be said to be out of the limelight for a while, after all, Fujian's Quanzhou Port is since the Northern and Southern Dynasties period has sat on the dragon chair of sea trade, and the Tang Dynasty has become the main landing point for overseas countries to China.

Zhu Yunwen himself has also been to Quanzhou, and has personally experienced the wealth and prosperity of Fujian, this conference, Fujian itself should be Zhu Yunwen's mouth 'you look at others', saying that it is an example for other poor provinces to learn, Chu Zhijie is in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, the reason why Fujian is rich in the coastal areas and poor in the interior, coupled with the fact that the mountains and mountains in the territory are separated, and the inconvenience of communication is that with the increasing prosperity of Fuquan and Fuquan, the gap between the rich and the poor has widened sharply.

'I'd rather be a document in eastern Fujian than a prefect in western Fujian', which is the current situation of officialdom in Fujian......"

Zhu Yunwen frowned slightly when he heard this, and raised his hand to interrupt Chu Zhijie's words: "The situation you said, can't you handle it yourself as the left political envoy of Fujian?" The purpose of this summoning of you from all provinces of the country is to solve problems that you cannot solve locally, not to push all problems to me and the cabinet. ”

The problems brought about by the geographical location of the disparity between the rich and the poor, the gap between the sea and the land, and the wealth in the east and the poverty in the west are inevitable, and as a provincial government, when encountering this kind of problem, it should have the ability to solve it by itself, instead of reporting everything to Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, and then there is no need to ask questions.

So what do you need a magistrate to do?

"Minister, I have the intention to turn it around, but there is a lot of resistance."

Chu Zhijie smiled bitterly and continued with a hard head: "Now Fujian, with Quanzhou as the center, even Fuzhou is making way for Quanzhou, and the tax of Quanzhou is enough to be equivalent to the sum of all the provinces in Fujian. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Zhijie also cautiously glanced at the direction of the cabinet.

He had already reported on the affairs here, but the cabinet never supported him in removing the officials in Quanzhou, and even explicitly approved that even if it was only a change of county order, Fujian would report to the cabinet, and Quanzhou's personnel leadership had already been changed.

Who let Quanzhou's economic status be there?

It's not a last resort, Chu Zhijie doesn't want to report to Zhu Yunwen in front of so many people.

It is better to be a document in eastern Fujian than a prefect in western Fujian.

can be a local county magistrate in Quanzhou Mansion, which one with a pit in his brain goes to northwest Fujian as a prefect, and if he doesn't say anything else, he can't understand the local dialect.

After all, Fujian has a complex language system and customs differences caused by the separation of mountains and mountains.

"So what is the purpose of this difficult problem you raised, to find me or to ask for power?"

The important person Zhu Yunwen is sure to be no, he is now lacking in experts who can engage in the economy on his side, and Yin Wang Yusen, who is newly appointed at the foot of Nan Zhili, will promote urbanization and industrial clustering, and has the courage to turn the world upside down for the economy.

Seeing Chu Zhijie's strength, Zhu Yunwen said directly: "You are the political envoy of Zuobu in Fujian, you have the final say in the development of a province in Fujian, not the prefect of Quanzhou, this issue does not need to be discussed, you can command how you want to go back after you go back, if there is still a phenomenon of disobedience, start to remove from the prefect of Quanzhou." ”

Only then did Chu Zhijie show joy on his face, and bowed down to thank him.

And the solution of Chu Zhijie's problem also gave everyone else a signal, that is, they have seen that this conference is the emperor's iron determination to help the provinces solve all development problems, and to give power and money.

Carry out reform in a big way, and concentrate on development.

Don't get by all day long, the central government's support is here, and in the next five years, if any province shouts that the people can't afford to eat, or there is still a case of starvation, it will be their turn to be the chief officials.

As a result, since Chu Zhijie, one by one began to line up to put forward the thorny matters in their respective provinces, and Zhu Yunwen also asked the cabinet and various ministries to come up with solutions on the spot, even if they could not be solved on the spot, they should set up a project and set a time limit for resolution.

"Now that the problems of the provinces have been discussed, I hope that you can deal with them in the next five years."

Zhu Yunwen's eyes swept away, and more than a dozen provincial officials bowed in unison: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the ministers will never live up to their kindness." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

With his head bowed, Zhu Yunwen changed the topic: "The General Administration Department has recorded all the problems of the projects in various provinces and published them in various places, not only can we bury our heads in this Fengtian Temple, but also say that we know with the people of the whole country, let the people supervise together, and the secretaries need to know, whether the governance is good or not, the people's eyes are bright." ”

Xu Buji in the crowd hurriedly took a pen and wrote it down, and the emperor's classic quotations could be added again.

After talking about the provinces, it is actually the highlight of this conference, because the next agenda item is to set the clear task of the Second Five-Year Plan!

Not only Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, also attached great importance to the chief officials of the provinces, because they knew that after walking out of the Fengtian Palace, they would gather in the Wenhua Hall tomorrow to discuss the proportion of apportionment with the cabinet.

Yang Shiqi, the first assistant of the cabinet, walked out, took out a copy of the recital that had been drawn up a long time ago, and began to read it aloud in front of hundreds of people.

"The decree of the Emperor to determine the national policy, the ministers of the Tiandian University scholar Yang Yu and the four colleagues of the cabinet plan to start from the eleventh year of Jianwen to the fifteenth year of Jianwen, and the matters that should be reached by the various ministries of the imperial court are now submitted to His Majesty and reported to the provinces.

The Ministry of Officials, within five years, will fully complete the handover of the provincial examination, the national examination and the traditional imperial examination, and the local provincial governments and counties will be responsible for the management of the public identity of the scholars participating in the scientific examination after passing the examination, and will no longer be awarded the meritorious names such as Xiucai and Renren. ”

The first thing was a bombshell.

This marks the official launch of the imperial examination system for nearly 1,000 years since the Sui and Tang dynasties.

In the future, scholars all over the world will not be taking the traditional path of gaining fame by participating in the county, government, and courtyard examinations that start from the locality, and then take the township examination, the guild examination, and the palace examination.

They don't have to be in the test to gain fame, but the route to promotion will be much simpler.

When there is a shortage of officials in the local government and county, the quota will be reported to the provincial government, and after the approval of the provincial government, the local government and county will conduct the local examination recruitment during the annual provincial examination.

Candidates who have passed the examination papers of the provincial public service department have the status of public service, marking the official entry into the official career.

Xu officials are no longer the so-called lifelong system in the traditional sense, and the barriers of the official chasm are blocked, and the Xu officials can be officials as well, because all the local officials do not exist directly airborne by scholars who are born in Jinshi.

Even the fame of Jinshi will not be gone.

From the completion of the compilation of the "Jianwen Dictionary" in the sixth year of Jianwen to the expected completion of the provincial and national examinations in the fifteenth year of Jianwen, Zhu Yunwen and the cabinet will spend ten years to bury the imperial examination system in the grave.

It can be expected that the form of Ming officialdom in a few decades will be healthier, because every local official has risen step by step from the grassroots level, and there will be no so-called phenomenon of the so-called Jinshi master, who is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and has not even been out of the door for more than ten years, directly becomes a county commander or even a prefect.

This proposal was put forward by Xu Buji to the cabinet on his own initiative, because he himself is a down-and-out man, if it were not for Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, he might have been a sour Confucian all his life, and he would not have the slightest future in his life.

Xu Buji's career can be called inspirational, no matter whether the reviews are good or bad, at least it proves a point.

If you can be admitted to the Jinshi academic examination, you must be good, but you may not have much ability, and if you are not good at learning, you may not be able to become an official!

After everyone's astonishment faded, Yang Shiqi continued to read.

"The Ministry of Households, continue to sink the depth of the intensity of the inventory and survey, and the depth of the Ding Register, in order to promote the urbanization process of His Majesty's instructions, it is necessary to organize households to go to the countryside, especially for the local landlords who still exist, and those who have extensive domestic slaves and servants should be investigated to the end.

All deeds of sale are no longer binding by law, and the relationship between the family and the family can only be an employment relationship, and for the so-called slave life that can not be sustained, the male will be taken in by the local county government, and if there is no wasteland, the land will be given, and if there is no land, it will be sent to the provincial government to arrange a fortification messenger.

For women, if they can settle down on their own and marry on their own, and if they can't settle down, they will be sent to the provincial capital to settle down. ”

With the progress of urbanization and modern social forms, many traditional feudal dross is bound to be gradually eliminated, and Zhu Yunwen decided to gradually promote it from the bottom up, and the first thing to do is to break the so-called imperial power and not go to the countryside.

Everyone thinks the paper tiger is scary, but all it takes is a light touch of a candle and it will be gone.

The traditional landlord class does have a force to be reckoned with, and if they are integrated, they can even make Zhu Yunwen not eat well and sleep well for a year and a half.

But, that's integration.

The reason why landlords are landlords is because they are densely scattered throughout the country, not all of them are concentrated to survive, so there will be no so-called landlords.

Spread out, there is no such thing as a threat.

You think he's like a tiger sitting on the ground if you look down on him, and if you look down on him, he's nothing.

When the power in his hands became bigger and bigger, Zhu Yunwen began to press these interest groups in the traditional feudal sense step by step, even from the top down, bullying bureaucrats and landlords.

Zhu Yunwen was even expecting a large-scale wave of rebellion, such as the overthrow of Wang Mang and Emperor Yang of Sui.

The current Ming Dynasty has a fully mature official hematopoietic ability, and he can replenish as much as he kills at any time, and the local landlords do not have the ability to respond to the local countryside during the Han Dynasty, let alone the Guanlong aristocratic group with huge power and intertwined relationships during the Sui Dynasty.

Why do you expect them to rebel, it is only in this way that Zhu Yunwen can come to a 'Great Purge' movement, forcibly push the Ming Dynasty to step out of the confinement of the traditional dynasty in one fell swoop, and firmly root the imperial power and centralized power into every corner of the country.

There can be no doubt that the strength of a country and the speed of its progress depend on the extent to which it centralizes power.

The Jin and Song dynasties, where the imperial power could not even get out of the capital, the whole country was like a plate of scattered sand, and was finally destroyed by the alien races whose population was less than one percent of itself, and the Qin, Han, Tang, and Chu Ming dynasties were all because of the high degree of control of the imperial power over the country, thus writing countless glorious chapters in history.

The proponent of this proposal was Xia Yuanji, who was now completely immersed in the high annual income of the household, as if counting money had become all the joy of his life.

The local landlord is Xia Yuanji's thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and after passing the anger with Zhu Yunwen, this proposal was written into the Second Five-Year Plan.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, not only Zhu Yunwen is looking forward to the country becoming stronger, but there are many people like Xia Yuanji who are of the same mind as Zhu Yunwen.

They all have the courage to change the sun and the moon and the courage to make drastic reforms.

"The Ministry of Works, in addition to completing the fortifications in the Duogan area and Yunnan region mentioned earlier, has only one task."

Yang Shiqi took a deep breath: "With Beiping, create a new capital." ”

Create a new city!

In the entire Fengtian Palace, there was a sudden sound of gasping cold air.
