Xiao Jing held the will of Emperor Hongzhi in his hand and came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate with a spring breeze.

After listening to the holy decree, Yan Chengjin was a little stunned, His Majesty actually played this hand.

Only the Metropolitan Procuratorate was allowed to set up four divisions, but it was not allowed to establish new official positions, and the management of children was not maintained.

There are no new officials, although there are four divisions, but they are far worse than the six.

"Lord Yan, the jurisdiction and supervision of the four divisions, you will personally report to Your Majesty after you think about it."

Xiao Jing handed over the holy decree to Yan Chengjin and left the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Yan Chengjin turned around and looked at Jiang Wen and the four of them: "The Supervision Department, the Economic Department, the Law Department and the Arrest Department, the four of you, each have a position." ”

From today on, the names of these four divisions will be inherited for more than 100 years after the Ming Dynasty.

The court and the world will undergo subtle changes.

Liu Lai and Jiang Wen glanced at each other.

"The subordinate officer leads the Supervision Division."

"The Lower Commander leads the Department of Law."

Among the four divisions, the Economic Department is the most tricky, and there is no yamen to emulate.

Liu Lai and Zhang Jiyu were a little hesitant, and they both wanted to choose the arrest department.

But the reader made them a little embarrassed out of courtesy.

Yan Chengjin looked at Liu Lai: "Your father understands the economy, so it's up to you, if you don't understand, ask your father." ”

Xiaguan's father didn't even care about me studying, so how could he teach Xiaguan economics...... Liu Lai's face twitched slightly, and he bowed down and said, "The lower officials will do their best." ”

After the personnel distribution is completed, the next step is to make a report to His Majesty, divide the functions and powers of the four divisions, and then announce the two capitals and thirteen provinces.

Yan Chengjin took four subordinate officials to the Huagai Palace.

Emperor Hongji had been waiting for him for a long time, and the cabinet and the six ministries were still in the main hall.

"Divided?"

The voice is not without a lot of joy, after all, it is a reform, and since then it has been completely different from the official system established by Emperor Gao.

Emperor Hongzhi always felt that he felt a little guilty in his heart.

Yan Chengjin said: "The ministers will divide the four divisions into the Supervision Department, the Economic Department, the Law Department and the Arrest Department. ”

As soon as the other three divisions heard it, they knew that they had general jurisdiction over their powers, but this economic division was the only one......

Emperor Hongzhi spoke: "Who will supervise the Economic Division?" ”

Liu Lai glanced up at Yan Chengjin slightly, and when he saw that he was silent, he took the initiative: "Let the ministers control it." ”

Liu Jian was angry: "You don't know how to buy and sell!" ”

"Lord Yan said, I can ask my father ......"

Liu Jian and the others were dumbfounded, this son even had to calculate this.

Yan Chengjin's face was as usual, this was the first layer of deep meaning.

In fact, there is a second layer of deep meaning, regulating the economy, it is inevitable to ask for money from the household.

……

Yan Fu,

Zhu Houzhao waited in the main hall and set up the chessboard: "What about your young master, this palace wants to see how he can win this palace!" ”

"The young master hasn't been on duty yet, Your Highness, can you eat another bowl of noodles and so on?" How can he wait carefully.

Just after eating a small bowl, Zhu Houzhao felt that it was not enjoyable, and his eyes lit up: "And?" ”

"Yes, the young master has a new test." How can he hurriedly run to the kitchen.

Yan Chengjin returned to the house and saw Zhu Houzhao sucking bubble noodles.

Merchants traveled from north to south, often carrying dry cakes that were difficult to chew.

A bite of hot pasta is sure to spark a huge business opportunity.

He has applied for a patent through internal channels.

"What does Your Highness think of the taste?"

"One bowl is not enough, and two bowls are not enough." Zhu Houzhao said.

Yan Chengjin nodded thoughtfully, and the weight did not deviate much from later generations.

Zhu Houzhao remembered the matter: "You said that within three days, chess skills can win the palace?" ”

Yan Chengjin took out the drawings from his arms and put them on the chess game, he held the white zi, and Zhu Houzhao held the black zi.

"This is a chess game that the minister came up with, and this game begins to fall, His Royal Highness can win, and the minister will admit defeat."

Zhu Houzhao pondered and watched the chess game intently.

This chess game is what Yan Chengjin asked for Li Dongyang, Li Dongyang often plays chess with Xie Qian, and his chess skills are bottomless.

Nearly half an hour, before Zhu Houzhao fell, Yan Chengjin said: "It's time, it's time for His Highness to return to the palace." ”

"No, this palace must be broken."

"Why don't you take it back to the palace and see it again?"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and he picked up the entire chessboard and left.

…………

Jiangnan, Ningwangfu.

"There was a report from the imperial court that the Metropolitan Procuratorate had set up four divisions and changed the system."

Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, read the report for a long time.

During this period of time, Yan Chengjin first promoted the imperial history of the capital, and then set up four new divisions.

It's a shame that His Majesty actually agreed.

"Lord, I heard that Wang Shouren went to Ryukyu and led his troops to attack Satsuma."

If the Ryukyus were allowed to win and work together with the imperial court to exterminate the Japanese pirates, Jiangnan's overseas smuggling business would be greatly affected.

Zhu Chenhao paced back and forth: "Send big ships and firearms to the Satsuma Kingdom, you can't let Ryukyu win, and get rid of Wang Shouren." ”

Wang Shouren won two battles in a row, showing his talents.

He had a faint premonition that if he rebelled, this person would be a big trouble.

"The prince was far-sighted, and his subordinates went to buy the firearms of the Franc machine and send them to the Satsuma country."

The imperial court controlled the Hongyi generals very strictly.

You can only trade with the Fran people with silver, and then give the firearms to the Satsuma country, so that they will not be discovered.

……

Upper retort island, gloomy sky, dark clouds.

Wang Shouren's garrison was at the foot of Peng Mountain, waiting for Liu Jin to lead the Li army and go north to converge.

The guards led one of them into the tent.

I saw that the man was carrying a burden, and his face was white and pure, and when he saw Wang Shouren, he was babbling:

"Wang Shouren, you don't know how to send it back to the capital!"

Wang Shouren raised his head slightly, this is the eunuch who brought King Shangzhen to the Ming Dynasty, Gao Feng?

Coco Dong was also quite surprised when he saw an old acquaintance.

Gao Feng asked Dong Wen and his own soldiers to go out, and Wang Shouren said: "Gonggong Gao is here, but to spread the will of the imperial court?" ”

The battalion commander was empty, but Gao Feng still leaned into his ear and said, "Your Majesty and the princes of the imperial court, let you break through the Satsuma Kingdom within ten days, and specially order us to supervise the army." ”

Wang Shouren was surprised: "Why? ”

"A big silver mine has been discovered in the island country, and Your Majesty and the princes can't wait."

Wang Shouren was slightly stunned.

At this time, outside the tent, the spy rode a black horse, turned over in front of the tent, and said tremblingly: "My lord, many large ships have been found in the south of Yong Island, which seem to be pirates. ”

Coco Dong's body shook suddenly.

Now there are only about 3,000 people, and if they fight with pirates again and lose their troops, they don't know how many people will be left when they land on the Satsuma Peninsula.

When Wang Shouren heard the news outside the tent, he turned over his horse and came to the lookout on Peng Mountain in person.

In the distance, on the blue horizon, countless ships are heading here.

Dong Wen looked away, worried: "The pirates must see that our army is defeated and injured, and they want to take advantage of the fire to rob." ”

Dozens of large ships, estimated at more than 6,000 people, were also equipped with firearms.

Wang Shouren pondered for a moment: "Pass on the official's order, board the ship and go to Satsuma." ”

To be able to mobilize so many pirates and ships, he thought of one person.

Perennial in this sea area, the rampant and presumptuous pirate king, Xu Dong!

"But my lord? We waited for more than 3,000 people, and then attacked the royal city......" Dong Wen also counted on Liu Jin to mobilize 50,000 Li people from the Ming Dynasty to go north.

Wang Shouren's order is beyond doubt.

The soldiers carried their baggage to the ship, and the big ship sailed down the wind and slowly left the port.

Three days later, the Satsuma Peninsula appeared on the sea not far away, and the port was heavily guarded.

Before he could get closer, he heard the roar of artillery, and the sea was splashed.

The fleet was followed by a pirate fleet.

In front there was the Satsuma army, and then there were pirates.

"Lord Wang, how do you get to the island?" Coco Dong said helplessly.

Wang Shouren suddenly said: "Stop the boat!" ”

Dong Cohen is nervous, the pirates are about to catch up, and they want to stop the ship?

But he did not dare to disobey.

Wang Shouren wrote a letter and looked at Gao Feng: "Please also ask Father-in-law Gao to send the letter to the pirate Xu Dong." ”

"Wang Shouren, you want to kill us!" Gao Feng was furious: "You send the Ryukyu people!" ”

"Reveal the identity of the father-in-law to the pirates, the father-in-law will not die, this letter must be sent by the father-in-law."
