Chapter 572: Father and Emperor Take You to Fight the World
Hawkins was temporarily freed from the threat of the coalition, but he was still in a bad position. In the south of France, more than 100,000 royalist soldiers and horses were preparing to march north to defeat the rebels.
And the real threat still comes from within, he promulgated a large number of new laws in a short period of time, which did stimulate the people at the bottom, but with the expansion of the territory, there were huge problems in the implementation of the law
The local nobles resisted, and the peasants, after receiving the land, fought with each other, and the villages clashed with each other...... After the loss of the nobility, there was no order in the place, it was a mess, and it was completely a pot of porridge.
Faced with this situation, his subordinates mostly suggested that the rule of the nobility be restored, of course, the nobles could not be wanted, but they could be replaced by meritorious people. They will be infinitely loyal and fight valiantly for the great king.
Obviously, this is a way back, after all, it is logical, even the devil of Corsican does it!
"If you want to finish quickly, do as they want." Xu Jie said very politely: "Restoring the old system is equivalent to giving up your advantages and putting you on the same line as the monarchs of Europe." You only have a third of France, and you have the whole of Europe, what will be the outcome of the victory, do you still need to say? ”
Hawkins was so frightened that his forehead sweated and shuddered.
"So, what should I do?"
Xu Jie said with a smile: "It's very simple, just follow your previous method, conduct the exam on a large scale, and welcome talents from all over Europe, as long as they pass the assessment, they will be awarded official positions, from the mayor to the village head, all of them are covered." Then you can arrange several important positions as assistants to assist you in governing the overall situation. I suggest that you reform the Estates-General, abolish the nobles and clergy, and take charge of the citizens' representatives, and select your henchmen from among them. ”
……
Xu Jie, who has also been in Europe for a while, has an understanding of the management model of these countries.
In Xu Jie's view, it is just two words: primitive!
How to say it, this level is at most the level of the Western Zhou Dynasty, far from the level of the Warring States.
Locally, there are all sorts of nobles, large and small, and under a kingdom there may be several grand duchies, duchies, princes, counties, and some free cities, in short, a hodgepodge.
As for being around the king, there are also officials, but these officials are completely cronies of the king, and they don't need any talent, as long as the king appreciates you, they can serve as well.
According to the standards of the Ming Dynasty, these people are all out-and-out lucky villains, with no talent and no virtue, except for being able to please the king, they have no other ability, and they should be pulled out and cut that kind of thing.
After arriving in Europe, Xu Jie suddenly felt worthless for one person, that was Yang Tinghe!
That's right!
At present, the Ming Dynasty has regarded Yang Tinghe as a representative of the old bureaucracy, playing with authority, setting up the monarch's father, scheming, and corrupting the national code...... But if you put it in Europe, you will find how advanced this bureaucratic system is! How against the sky is to select officials for the examination!
It can be boldly said that in this world, only the Ming Dynasty, and the few countries around the Ming Dynasty, do not rely on the gods to rule. And according to political achievements, even official to the first grade, how unimaginable it is to dominate the world!
After all, even in the West hundreds of years later, the road of passing the exam is at most like Concubine Han, being a humble social institution, as for ministers and prime ministers, don't even think about it.
Of course, to say that this set of things in the West is useless? Not necessarily, for example, the Estates-General, which is interesting.
It is precisely because of the weakness of the Western royal power and the huge local power that the king cannot directly control the locality, and when encountering major events, he will ask each city to send representatives to form a three-tier council with the upper clergy and nobles to discuss major national affairs, especially matters related to taxation.
Therefore, the parliament is not an advanced representative, on the contrary, it is a remnant of feudalism, and to put it bluntly, it is a manifestation of the great tail of local forces.
After Xu Jie's research, he directly made the system of six parts and nine qing, and put it in Europe, which would definitely be unadaptable.
How to manage it has become a problem that must be solved.
It would be a good idea to start with the relatively authoritative three levels of parliament to create a new bureaucracy. It's just that Xu Jie's mind is always in Daming, and it lies in that Shoufu throne!
With the expansion of territory, the increase in management and government affairs, and the increasing differences between local governments, Xu Jie felt that the center of the Ming Dynasty should also establish a system of communication and consultation with the localities.
Of course, it is worth discussing what form should be chosen and how much authority should be granted. The most important thing is that it is granted, and it can be taken back. You can't play the European set.
Good guy, Xu Jie directly regards France as a test field, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, the accumulated experience will become a wealth in the future...... Xu Jie even began to be grateful to Master Wang Yue, this time he went to sea, his realm was really different.
I don't know what Master will do after seeing his letter? Can you provide support? Even if it's just a little weapons and food, commercial orders, it's good.
After all, with Xu Jie's head, he couldn't have imagined that Wang Yue would go to sea in person, and what Wang Yue didn't expect, another person also wanted to come out and take a look.
"I'm going to take the Zen throne and let you be the emperor!" Zhu Houxi said casually.
Zhu Zaiji almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, "Father, don't scare your son!" ”
"What do you mean to scare you!" Zhu Houxi didn't like to listen to it, "Think about it yourself, you have been to the southeast, and you have also run to Hainan, what about your father?" Over the years, I have been confined to the palace and suffocated to death. I have fought in Persia, and I heard that there are other Suleiman heroes, but I am just a waste? ”
Zhu Zaiji carefully observed and found that his father was not lying, but he still didn't dare to agree!
"Father, if you go to sea in the Zen position, you will be unstable, not to mention that the sons are too young to take it."
Zhu Houxi glanced at him, "You kid is also quite tall, why are you so daring?" I will tell you one more thing, if I leave with your master, and you become the emperor again, it is not a logical thing to marry your junior sister as the queen! ”
Zhu Zaiji's eyes widened, and his hands trembled, it seems that this is really the case, the emperor and the crown prince, that is not the same thing!
Hurry up and say yes, as long as you say yes, your dreams can come true!
However, Zhu Zaiji still maintained a trace of clarity, and hurriedly shook his head, "Father, the son is indeed not good, the huge country and the people, hundreds of millions of people, are still inseparable from the father, please take back the father's life!" ”
Zhu Houxi paused for a while, and sighed again, "You still don't have much talent, so let's go out and take a look, you stay and supervise the country, I will give you full powers, appoint officials, reform the government, use troops abroad, do whatever you want." Take out some real skills and govern the world well. Blue is better than blue, you have to be stronger than your father! ”
After Zhu Houxi finished speaking, he stretched out his hand again and pressed his son's shoulder hard, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all, he was not a person who was used to showing emotions.
Let's go!
Zhu Houxi made up his mind, and he was not the only one who went to sea this time.
"Go and call the three princes."
After a full hour, Zhu Zaili, Zhu Zaiyuan, Zhu Zaizhen, these boys came over, they were all wearing military uniforms, and they were full of heroism.
At the beginning, it was suggested that the prince be sent to martial arts, but the children were reluctant in every way, but after staying in martial arts for a while, they were reluctant to go home.
What's in the palace?
Food, clothes, treasures, slaves...... It's just that these things, how can they be compared to martial arts!
Wuxue gets up early every day and goes for a morning run, then comes back for dinner, followed by morning classes, lunch, an hour-long lunch break, and classes in the afternoon. It's just that it's not a cultural class, but going out on horseback riding, shooting, using various terrains, and practicing offensive and defensive tactics...... There are instructors who specialize in reviewing and deducing famous battles in history.
In the evening, there are performances, games, and competitions...... At the end of this day, it is much more fulfilling than being stuffy in the palace.
Not to mention anything else, even the most wooden Zhu Zaiyuan is addicted to martial arts, this kid's performance is not bad!
"Have you learned the real thing?"
"Learned, learned!" Zhu Zaizhen couldn't wait to say: "When my father took the final exam, I was ranked twelfth in the class!" ”
Zhu Houxi snorted with his nose, and his face was raised? Count you as the worst!
"Okay, since you have the ability, then my father will take you to fight the world!"
