The Ming Dynasty now has a total of two capitals and fourteen provinces, plus two prefectures.

Liangjing naturally refers to Nanjing and Beijing, and Zhili refers to the area directly subordinate to Beijing, that is, the place of henchmen at the foot of the Son of Heaven.

The 14 provinces are Shandong, Zhejiang, Fujian, Shanxi, Henan, Jiangxi, Huguang (Hubei and Hunan), Guangdong (including Hainan), Guangxi (the provincial capital is Guilin), Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Shaanxi (including Gansu), and Daning.

Zhu Cihong officially announced that the Ming Dynasty would set the capital of Nanjing, and changed the Zhili where Beijing was located to the North Zhili, and the Zhili where Nanjing was located to the South Zhili.

As early as more than 200 years ago, when Ming Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing, it was also such a change, and the Beizhili at that time was called Beiping Mansion.

The new governor of Zhili was served by Zhu Wanhua, the eldest son of Yin and Zhu Dadian, who was originally Ying Tianfu Mansion.

The governor of Beizhili was served by the lame Ren Guangyu, and the governor was actually a high-ranking official.

Shandong Governor, Xiong Wencan, the mouth cannon powerhouse who once recruited Zheng Zhilong.

When the imperial court started a war with the Zheng family, because Zhu Cihong did not trust him, he was transferred from the position of the governor of Liangguang to the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing as an errand, and now he was finally released again.

The governor of Shaanxi, Sun Chuanting, has been fighting with the landlords of Shaanxi for so many years, and it is estimated that he will have to do a big job again after he returns.

Governor of Huguang, Shi Kefa.

Governor of Jiangxi, Zodiac Zhou.

Governor of Guangxi, Qu Shiyun.

Governor of Sichuan, Zhang Tongchang (great-grandson of Zhang Juzheng).

Governor of Guizhou, Wang Tingchen.

Governor of Daning, Tiger Dawei.

The governor of Caoyun, Lu Xiangsheng, was awarded the earl for his meritorious service in the supply of shipping logistics.

The above are some old ministers of the Chongzhen Dynasty, loyal and courageous people in history, several are already sixty or seventy years old, and they are half of their bodies into the ground, and Zhu Cihong mentioned them as governors, but also to let them exert their residual heat.

In addition to these old guys, Zhu Cihong promoted some "young people", such as Fang Yizhi, the governor of Zhejiang, Zhang Huangyan, the governor of Shanxi, Chen Zilong, the governor of Fujian, Wang Fuzhi, the governor of Guangdong, Yan Yingyuan, the governor of Yunnan, and Liu Tongsheng, the governor of Henan.

Liu Tongsheng is the champion of Chongzhen for ten years, and his father was a tanhua during the scientific expedition, and he was a talented member of the family.

When Yang Sichang "won love" and entered the cabinet, Liu Tongsheng resisted and lashed Yang Sichang, saying that his father died and came out to be promoted, do you want face?

Liu Tongsheng angered Emperor Chongzhen because of this, and was demoted by an unknown number of ranks, so he quit directly and returned to his hometown due to illness.

Liu Tongsheng in history not only dared to speak, outstanding literary talent, and military strategy, but also very bloody, after the Qing army entered the Central Plains, he and Yang Tinglin together in Ganzhou, Jiangxi, raised the banner of anti-Qing.

The battle of Ganzhou, the Ming and Qing dynasties directly participated in the war of the regular army of up to 100,000 people, the militia is as many as hundreds of thousands, it is the most cruel war in the history of Ganzhou, Yang Tinglin and Liu Tongsheng defended for one year and eight months, and finally the city was broken and martyred, and seventy percent of the population of Ganzhou City was slaughtered by the Qing army.

Except for Liu Tongsheng and Fang Yizhi, who served as governors in important places, the rest of the newcomers were all selected from the first batch of officials who had passed the Junzi Six Arts Examination in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen.

In the past five years, when they served as governors of prefectures and counties, they have made meritorious contributions to governing the localities.

There are also many people who serve as magistrates.

It has been five years since Zhu Cihong implemented the new policy in Jiangnan, and eight years since Fengyang Mansion, and has already achieved certain results and experience.

Therefore, Zhu Cihong plans to fully implement the new policy nationwide, add some new policies to the original content, comprehensively innovate, add wings to the Ming Dynasty, and take off!

The most important issue now is the post-war reconstruction of the provinces north of the Yangtze River.

First of all, Cao Yun, since Zhu Cihong proposed to change to sea transportation a few years ago, and then has been implementing the operation mode of half river and half sea.

Now, listening to the Cao Yun Governor Lu Xiangsheng playing, Cao Yun has come to spend money to dredge again, because of the war in the north, the northern section of the Grand Canal is often intercepted and tossed by the Shun army, it is really silted up to the point that the ship can not be sailed at all, it needs to be repaired, and the cost of maintaining the sluice gate costs a lot of silver.

Zhu Cihong didn't say a word, and directly abolished this gold-swallowing beast completely, and all the grain was changed to sea.

Since Beijing is no longer the national capital, Liaodong and Monan have been recovered, the nine-border defense line has also been expanded, the border is in a peaceful stage, the role of the Grand Canal has become limited, and the rise of direct shipping to Liaodong is inevitable.

It not only saves money, but also avoids the loss of tens of millions of stone grain along the way every year.

At the local level, Zhu Cihong unified local administration, and unified the establishment of prefectures, prefectures, counties, townships, guarantees, villages, and districts under the province.

Since the Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties, the township has been the largest unit of rural organization, and the rural organization of the Ming Dynasty was the same as that of the Yuan Dynasty, but there was a great difference between the north and the south.

The villages in the north are divided into three levels, the largest is called the township, followed by the community, and the smallest is the village.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the society was composed of 50 households, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was not fixed, and generally exceeded the limit of 50 households, and the number of people in the village was less than that.

In the south, the organization of villages is divided into four levels: township, bao, village, and li.

The protection of the south is the capital of the Song Dynasty, and the village is a common village, and the li is not the li of the jia system, but the name of the original natural village, which is the small-scale village in the south.

In short, the rural organization of the Ming Dynasty, the north retained the color of the township system and the community system after the Jin and Yuan dynasties, while the south was deeply influenced by the Song Dynasty's capital protection system, which was very complicated.

Zhu Cihong directly unified the planning, and after the provincial governors took office, the first thing they did was to implement the local grass-roots administrative units, and thoroughly complete the division of land and strengthen the management of public security.

Under the new administration, the county magistrate is still the seventh grade, the township chief is the eighth grade, the chief is the ninth grade, and the village chief is the ninth grade......

Each province has 1,000 city defense troops, equipped with firearms, and the prefecture and county have set up a city patrol department, with 200 city patrol soldiers, to maintain local law and order.

All township chiefs, security chiefs, village chiefs, and lieutenant chiefs are directly appointed by their superiors and become court officials.

The purpose of such a restructuring is to ensure that the imperial power goes to the countryside, organize the households and the people, and enhance the local organization.

If it was promoted by the local government, it would still be controlled by the rich gentry and the powerful in the end.

Where do the people understand these bells and whistles, and those who are rich in any era are uncles.

Accompanying the governor to the local area were also the imperial historians of the Imperial Procuratorate, who inspected the land in various places and examined the performance of the temporary officials who had been dispatched before, so as to avoid unfair land distribution and collusion in the embezzlement of land.

Most of the temporary officials sent to the northern provinces were selected from the Guozijian, and now that the imperial examination is imminent, these temporary officials can stay in office if they have good political performance.

If it doesn't work, just masturbate!

At this point, Zhu Cihong's reward for meritorious ministers has come to an end, and on the whole, everyone is quite satisfied.

After dealing with these matters, the next step is to issue a new policy for the whole country.
