The eight bureaus are the lowest level in the 24 yamen, which are the War Bureau, the Silver Bureau, the Huanyi Bureau, the Scarf and Hat Bureau, the Needlework Bureau, the Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, the Wine and Vinegar Noodle Bureau, and the Siyuan Bureau.

Compared with the 12 internal supervisors, the Eighth Bureau not only has a low status, but the power is also very different, but the Eighth Bureau has a place that the 12 internal supervisors do not have, which is also the place that Zhu Houzhao values the most. That's half the imperial city and half the outer city in eight rounds. Inside the yamen of the palace, the Eighth Bureau was able to stretch out its hand outside, and it was stretched out in a dignified manner, openly, which was very important and very important.

Among the eight bureaus, the War Bureau is in charge of manufacturing weapons, and there is also a gunpowder division below, to put it bluntly, the War Bureau is an arsenal, and there are countless craftsmen below.

In this era, weapon building and iron smelting are all connected, there is no obvious boundary, Zhu Houzhao can use the War Bureau to extend his hand into the metallurgical industry, so as to penetrate the mining industry below. Although a military bureau looks inconspicuous, but Zhu Houzhao builds it with his heart, then he can create a perfect industrial chain from mining to metallurgy to ordnance manufacturing. You must know that Daming's current mining tax is very difficult, and it will not be collected at all in a few years.

People from later generations know that mining is the energy industry, and no one knows how profitable this industry is? Coal bosses and steel tycoons in later generations, which one is short of money?

Domestic state-owned enterprises control these industries, and how strong are the giants of the energy industry abroad? The Middle East sells oil by local tyrants, and although there are not so many minerals used in this era, it is still a very profitable industry. In addition, Zhu Houzhao can also be asked to put his hand into the weapon casting, which is a very important line of logistics supply for the army, how can this be let go?

Silver is a game, and I don't have any ideas for the time being, but I can see if I can reach into the gold and silver mine in the future.

Huanyi Bureau, this bureau is not in the city, a place to wash clothes, where the palace people are old and those who have been dismissed and abolished, this bureau lives, Zhu Houzhao feels that this place can develop a commercial intelligence agency. Although Dongchang and Jinyiwei are also intelligence agencies, they may not do a good job in business intelligence, and the Huanyi Bureau is an inconspicuous place, but if they are used well, they may be able to do great things.

The scarf and hat bureau, the hat boots of the envoy in the palace, the crown boots of the horse and the hat boots of the flag captains of the kingdom of the king, this is useless, you can put it aside.

Zhu Houzhao can reach into the garment manufacturing through the Needlework Bureau and the craftsmen under the Needlework Bureau to make a luxury product. In this era, the profits in this are great, and there is a lot to be done. A group of local tyrants in the Ming Dynasty, they don't know how to spend the money, they can teach them completely, just do it, forget it if it doesn't work, this is not forced.

Internal weaving and dyeing bureau, palm dyeing and palace application of satin, through the internal weaving and dyeing bureau, Zhu Houzhao can reach out to the textile industry, in this era, the profits in this are great, the blue indigo factory in the west of the city is the internal weaving and dyeing bureau.

Wine vinegar noodle bureau, in charge of the palace to eat wine vinegar, sugar sauce, noodles and beans, this yamen can allow Zhu Houzhao to develop the wine industry, although it is not under the jurisdiction of the imperial wine room, but this is definitely a very, very useful yamen. Wine is a high-consumption profiteering industry in any era, and Zhu Houzhao can make a little 1500-year-old wine, but what is the name? Or is it called Sprite?

Siyuan Bureau, in charge of vegetables, melons and fruits, greenhouses, selling out-of-season vegetables, absolutely profitable.

Anyway, if the Eighth Bureau is in Zhu Houzhao's hands, it will definitely not be as lifeless as it is now, Zhu Houzhao will definitely let them infiltrate into various industries in the Ming Dynasty, aren't you officials and businessmen? Then I'll be an imperial merchant. For example, if you don't call it a mining tax, that's okay, then you don't open the mine, I'll open it. When the capital accumulates, I will do whatever it takes to make money, squeeze the original, and that's not what a certain Tencent did in later generations.

In addition, there is another place that Zhu Houzhao is very satisfied with in the Eighth Bureau, that is, there is a member of the eunuch in each bureau, a member of the eunuch of the commander, and there is no fixed number of people in management, writing, writing, and supervision.

The meaning of no quota is very simple, that is, I can use as many people as I want, and in a way, I can expand indefinitely.

Zhu Youzhang couldn't have imagined that his son would play such a big idea, it was just an eight-game game, Zhu Youzhu didn't take it to heart, but now Zhu Youzhu is taking it to heart.

Zhu Youzhu has not paid much attention to the internal supervision over the years, but Zhu Youzhu also knows what the Eighth Bureau does, and now his son has done a big thing as a salt administration but only needs an Eighth Bureau, if Zhu Youzhu thinks that there is nothing to do here, it will be too simple. During this time, Zhu Youzhu's performance was all in his eyes.

All aspects can be called demonic, in such a situation, how could Zhu Youzhu feel that his son has no purpose in asking for eight rounds.

"Tell me, what do you want to do in the eighth round?" Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhu Houzhao with a smile and asked.

"Can you sweep the world without sweeping a house? Although the eight rounds look inconspicuous, they involve food, clothing, housing and transportation inside and outside the palace. The government affairs of the imperial court are complicated, and there are many yamen, and the ministers want to be familiar with it first, and the eight bureaus are just right. Zhu Houzhao naturally didn't say his true thoughts, and directly took out the reasons he had thought of a long time ago, looking serious and serious.

Glancing at his son, Zhu Youzhang's first reaction was that his son's words were untrue, but when he saw his son's appearance, Zhu Youzhu smiled: "Okay, you have done a good job of salt administration, and the eighth bureau will be under your control!" ”

In Zhu Youzhang's view, it is a good thing for his son to do things, but it doesn't matter why he has to do eight games and what his son wants to do.

When the father and son were talking, the news about the Salt and Iron Division had already spread outside, and for a while, countless officials began to run for this matter, asking for news everywhere. Some people want to stop the establishment of this yamen, and some people want to go in and make a profit, and this must be a rich department.

For a while, although the entire Beijing officialdom seemed to be calm, it had already tumbled because of a salt and iron division below.

Zhu Youzhu and Zhu Houzhao, father and son, are not worried about this at all, Zhu Houzhao continues to live according to the continuing routine every day, but Zhu Houzhao has always held the question book in his hand. At this juncture, someone handed this question book over, what is this to do?

In fact, Zhu Houzhao doesn't need to guess to know that the source of this inscription is absolutely inseparable from the cabinet. It's just that Zhu Houzhao doesn't know whether this question book was made by a certain scholar in the cabinet, or whether the three scholars in the cabinet made it together.
