"Lonely, please come over, under the Guozijian and the Three Gonghuai, there is a purpose."

Zhu Zaiji smiled indifferently and behaved calmly. Watching him talk eloquently, I can't help but think of Zhu Houxi, and a little like Wang Yue, calm, composed, and very methodical.

Don't look at the early twenties, this young prince already has the calmness of a superior.

What a big deal!

"I heard that in the past, there were often debates here, and there were disputes between the mind and science, Confucianism and Legalism, and local circles...... All in all, it's a place where people are all talking about things that matter. Lonely and courageous, he invited the sages from all over the world to tell them about the many yamen in the court over the years, what things have been done and how many political achievements have been made! ”

Zhu Zaiji also smiled at Yan Song and the others, "Lone has no other meaning, he just wants to think about the major events of the court in the past, from the bottom up, and finally fall into the hands of the Son of Heaven, all by virtue of the Sacred Heart." Lone does not have the wisdom and wisdom of his father, nor does he have a master to assist him, so he can only ask for talents from all over the world. ”

"And the affairs of the government and the state, through the mouths of the sages, can be transmitted back to the provinces, and it is also an explanation to the people of the world. Tell them what the cost of the imperial tax will be. In order to show that it is taken from the people, it is used by the people, and the communication between the top and bottom is smooth, which is exactly what the sages of the past generations advocated. ”

When Zhu Zaiji said this, he said with a smile: "Don't waste time if you're lonely, let's start with the cabinet!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and went straight to the circle of virtuous people present, he walked to the first row and sat down in the center.

This act alone stunned many civil officials present.

The so-called ass determines the head, and which side he sits on is naturally inclined to which side.

Originally, the monarch and the ministers ruled the world, and the emperor should sit with the courtiers.

Taking a step back, it is also time to sit in the middle and show a fair and just attitude.

But why are you sitting with this group of people? Is it clear that you want to supervise hundreds of officials?

Your Highness, you're too biased, aren't you?

Zhu Zaiji didn't feel it at all, he sat comfortably and took it for granted.

This involves the genes of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang is a very controversial emperor, and people who like it think that Lao Zhu is among the best among the monarchs of all dynasties. He criticized him for his humble background, did not know how to govern the country, had a sloppy policy design, and killed innocents indiscriminately, and even blamed him for his death. Of course, this logic is not wrong, after all, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang does not establish the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will not perish, perfect!

These arguments aside, there is one thing that there should be consensus.

That is, Zhu Yuanzhang treats hundreds of officials harshly, treats the people gently, and can even be said to be the emperor who cherishes the people the most.

Throughout Lao Zhu's life, he stood in the perspective of the people, suppressed the civilian and official groups, eliminated the noble forces, built new water conservancy, governed rivers, equalized the land and recuperated...... Therefore, the emperor of the old Zhu family should stand with the people from the root.

Zhu Zaiji was at ease, but the court officials fell into uneasiness.

Although Zhu Zaiji said it lightly, this battle is clearly a ghost gate!

It's definitely not good!

The big guys all looked at Yan Song, and said in their hearts that the bitter wine you brewed, let you take it!

Yan Song was also helpless, so he could only stand up and be the first to explain the work of the cabinet...... Yan Song didn't talk about too many things, they were all general, that is, what kind of officials ruled, revitalized learning, developed the economy, built roads, and used troops abroad...... Lala miscellaneous, talked for half an hour, and then it was over.

Just when Yan Song stopped, Zhu Zaiji was the first to take the lead in applauding, and then hundreds of people applauded...... Yan Song was still stunned, is it really that easy?

In fact, he is also stupid, most of these people are not from high backgrounds, and at best they have a little influence in the local area. Before that, many people wanted to visit the first assistant university scholar, but they couldn't even enter the door, what kind of thing are you!

Now they can sit here and listen to Shousuke-sama's report, no matter what they say, just this form is already satisfying to them.

Meng Fuzi advocated for 2,000 years, with the people first, the community second, and the monarch first...... After implementation, it is only a benevolent government and love for the people, and the people are still in a completely dominant position.

Of course, Lao Zhu once tried to change, he sent a big edict to the people, if there are Xu officials who go to the countryside to harm people, the local clan elders can take down the Xu officials, and then go to Beijing to complain, beat the Dengwen drum, and the emperor will call the shots for the people.

However, this rule disappeared after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, and no one mentioned it again in the future emperors.

Up to now, Zhu Zaiji has selected representatives from various provinces and gathered in the capital to listen to reports from officials.

Letting the people supervise the officials is just one step closer, but this small step is a big step for the Ming Dynasty, a great big step!

After Yan Song, Wu Peng, Tang Long, Wang Tingxiang, and Zhang Jing...... These ministers took the stage one after another to talk about the work of various ministries, and they all received warm applause.

Zhu Zaiji had a faint smile on his face, he had long learned from his master that as a superior person, it was not difficult to get angry casually, kill a few people, or even bleed thousands of miles.

The hardest part is the rules!

It is the hardest thing to create new rules and change long-standing malpractices.

So far, he's done a pretty good job.

So-so, can you give yourself a score of eighty-five!

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but show an arc...... Affirm yourself before you think about your next steps.

Zhu Zaiji did not expect any breakthrough this time, and in fact, it was already very good to stabilize this form.

But he still underestimated how things would go.

In the afternoon, it was the turn of Ouyang Bijin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, to come to the stage, and after he finished speaking, during the break in the middle, a guy stood up.

"Dear Lord Shangshu, in Xia Zhu Daozi, I would like to know about the cost of the Ministry of Industry to build the railway."

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on this guy!

Michelangelo!

Many people know him, a Xiyi who is proficient in Chinese, a master of painting and carving, when and where, he is the most beautiful cub.

But in this scene, he jumped out to speak, and something was wrong.

But the crowd couldn't say anything, because they could ask.

Ouyang Bijin could only answer.

"If you have any doubts, just say it."

Michelangelo's face turned red, and he was very excited, after all, in his opinion, talking openly about national affairs and accepting the supervision of all parties was already civilized and civilized to the extreme.

As a person from the West, to have the opportunity to participate and speak is really a smoke from the ancestral grave.

"I want to know if the cost of each section of the railway is fixed?"

Ouyang Bijin nodded, "The overall cost of the railway is a certain amount, and most sections are similar. If you encounter mountains or rivers, the cost will increase a lot. However, the entire section of the road is surveyed by the Ministry of Engineering, and if there is a discrepancy, just bring it up. ”

Ouyang Bijin is full of confidence, as a technocrat, he is full of confidence in himself.

"Well, on the railway line, I don't have any doubts. I wonder, what is going on with the various train stations? ”

"This ...... The railway station was planned by the Ministry of Industry, which proposed construction standards and provided some subsidies. However, a considerable part of the expenditure is raised in various places, after all, different places have different characteristics, and it is not possible to have the same railway stations all over the world. ”

Michelangelo nodded again and again, "This is a very good idea, I agree with it, but I found that some decorative items of the railway station, such as stone carvings, paintings, hanging paintings and calligraphy, various works of art, including seats, etc., the price varies very much, and there are some counties that are not wealthy, but they spend a lot of money to make stone lions more than one foot high, cast bronze beasts, and use them to decorate the railway station, which seems inappropriate!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a thick stack of handwriting, which was not only written but also vividly illustrated...... Ouyang Bijin took it in his hand, and after looking at it a few times, his face immediately turned black.

These big and inappropriate things, even if they are not greasy, are not worth the money, if there is, then the Ministry of Industry is really negligent in supervision.

"I will immediately ask the Ministry of Industry to conduct a thorough investigation, and there will definitely be a detailed result."

Ouyang Bijin replied frankly, and Michelangelo gave his hand again and again to express his gratitude. It's really only an official of the Ming Dynasty who can be so enlightened, and he doesn't realize what he has done at all......

Three months later, the results of the investigation came out, Ouyang Bijin only got a medium grade in the evaluation of the Ministry of Officials due to negligence, and then the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, who held the rank of scholar of Dongge University, was dismissed and became the first high-ranking official to fall since Zhu Zaiji took power!
