Chapter 336: Angel of the Kingdom

Datang is a pop culture without vegetarianism, which can only show that the Japanese people were too poor before this.

The sea fish is not eaten whole, but the fish pieces are eaten, and the radish boiled in sauce is put on a small plate, which looks very exquisite, and it also makes the Great Wei porcelain in short supply, but the small amount is the small amount, so there are no fat people in the Wa country, and there are not a few big men.

In addition to the Japanese people, people from overseas countries are everywhere.

Many of the Luzon people with short hair are still Chinese businessmen, who have moved to Luzon for more than 200 years, and even their hairstyles are similar to those of Luzon.

The Samriviya people walked by with rosaries in their hands, their complexions were dark, their heads were also short, their eyes were flat, and they looked quite strange.

Whether it is the East or the West, the Japanese or the Luzon, or the Srivijaya, the Manchurians, or the Chenla people, the Siamese, people from almost all countries can see it.

But Chen Daojian found one thing, among all the people of various countries, there are few big businessmen, most of them are sailors, sailors, or escorts and other identities.

The merchant ships of many countries are still Wei people, princes, merchants, and ship owners, and seven out of ten are Wei people, whether they are the current Great Wei people or the former Tang people, the identities of these people can be seen at a glance, and that kind of temperament is still quite obvious even if it has been overseas for a hundred years.

In the words of Nan Anhou, the Chinese overseas, East Asia and Southeast Asia all control the local economic lifeline, Chen Daojian didn't understand it too much at the beginning, but now he vaguely understands it.

I heard that there are some big families, in Siam, Srivijaya, and even the Chinese family of Manchurian Thorn Jia, are rich and rival countries, faintly can affect the direction of the countries, over the years, Manchu Thorn Jia officially included in one of the subject countries of the heavens, even the lord of the country has changed his name to the Sultan, recalling the prosperity of the Great Wei, the three generations of Manchurian kings have entered the Great Wei Jingshi to worship, live for a long time, and even the two lords died in the Jingshi, the then Emperor Xuanzong ordered them to raise mountains and tombs outside the Beijing Division, and the friendship between the two countries is not deep.

Now it is completely different, the Chinese family is suppressed in Manchuria, even if the conversion to the Heavenly Fang Sect is still the object of untrustworthy prevention by other countries, it is simply impossible to build a country by a Chinese family like Lan Fang.

Xu Zixian also faintly expressed his concern that there are many Chinese in Manchuria, and they are the most wary group of people in the current state, and they are likely to cause unpredictable disasters.

Chen Daojian paid close attention to some Chinese businessmen who were full of thorns, like the Tianfang people, they also wore white robes and turbans, although they knew that they were Chinese businessmen at a glance, they decorated themselves as much as possible.

The most amazing thing is the Tianfang and the Tessie.

The Tessians are still very few to the Wa kingdom now, most of them are stopped when they reach Manthorna and Srivijaya, and can only go to Chenla and the Mughals, I heard that the Tessians are very seafaring, they can even come from the other side of the Luzon Sea, and now there are some Spaniards living in Luzon, stationed in Luzon all the year round, receiving the local products sent from overseas, and at the same time bringing the goods of Luzon back there.

According to the normal development of time and space, it is now the Spaniards and the Portuguese who have seized most of South America, and the Dutch have built ports and preliminary settlements in New York in North America, perhaps not yet, it should be the initial beginning to seize the territory of South America.

South American silver, gold, all kinds of spices were shipped back to Europe, and at the same time they found a route from South America to Luzon, and then from Luzon to China, through which Chinese goods were transported to South America, and then to Europe, and then directly from Malacca to Europe, and then there was the silver rush from South America to China, and Chinese goods and gold entered Europe from Malacca, and at the same time there were spices from Ceylon, and the specialties of various countries poured out.

It can be said that it was the beginning of global trade at that time, and it was slightly different from the current situation.

Now is also the beginning of global trade, but harder, more rudimentary, rougher, and more opportunity.

……

In the future, it is conceivable that the Nan'an Hou Mansion will set up its own trade organization, called a commercial house or a company, which has nothing to do with it, and the important thing is that the island's industries can only be run by the government and cannot be handed over to non-governmental organizations.

There is no space for the development of private commerce and trade in the Eastern Domain, the territory is too small, and all the profit points are grasped by the Hou government, unlike in Fujian Road, Zhejiang, and Guangzhou, where the government cannot eat all the benefits, and there is no way to run all the foreign trade government.

It's different here in Nan'an.

Not only are important resources in the hands of the Hou Mansion, but private businessmen can only be mainland businessmen who use cooperative methods to establish relations with the Hou Mansion, and more importantly, Xu Zixian confided in his confidants and important ministers.

The development of the breeding industry, the establishment of a large-scale navy, and the establishment of overseas colonial circles are all things that this government-run company will do in the future.

Purely official organizations will be too "official", subject to domestic laws and many rules, business houses, companies, not so official, and certainly not so many rules.

What should the government army of the Great Wei or Nan'an Marquis Mansion do if they go overseas to loot the merchant ships of other countries, and they are morally accused?

Seizing colonies, burning, killing and looting, it can't be said that the officers and soldiers of Nan'anhou did this kind of thing?

The company is different, semi-official, the major shareholder is Nan Anhou himself, but the specific person who does the work does not have a real official identity, which is quite convenient, flexible, and easy to control.

At the sound of a summons, the governor of the company can be called back and reprimanded, or replaced, and the governors will be replaced by a few years, and the subordinate officials, generals, troops, managers, and clerks, officials and subordinates of the colonies, and those peripheral forces are all rationed by the government, and they are not afraid that they will want to be independent, because most of the core power is in the hands of the power of the mother country.

This is the benefit of company development, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, have set up companies to develop overseas, compared to their respective princes and nobles to personally end up.

The person in charge of the office is a second-class official, which is also a small change in Xu Zixian's planning of the Hou Mansion.

The number of officials in the entire Nan'an Hou Mansion is now more than 500 people, which is quite large.

This is because Xu Zixian adopted a more elaborate and dynamic control system than the Great Wei, and although the Great Wei was not the kind of careless management of the imperial power that did not go to the countryside, the bureaucratic system was still cumbersome and inefficient, and even quite chaotic.

This is the sequelae of the unsuccessful restructuring, and Xu Zixian just needs to sort it out again.

Xu Zixian divided the officials into several large systems, one is the military officials, the judicial personnel in the army are called military judges, and the ordinary military secretaries and school secretaries are called military officials, who will build a solid foundation for the future military management system.

Military administration, military law, military strategy, and logistics management system, the establishment of these systems requires a large number of military officials, compared with the military management system of the Great Wei, such a division is more professional, more detailed, and more efficient.

In addition, there are officials, cardinal rooms and chamber personnel, and the clerks of each Cao are divided according to the standard rank, such as the third-class officials, who are responsible for a specific matter and are clerks.

The second-class clerk is responsible for leading something, such as the chief clerk of the office in front of him.

The first-class officer is the deputy of the official, who is not only responsible for specific administrative matters, but also responsible for consulting with officials, determining the flow of affairs, and even making suggestions.

Officials can be rewarded for their hard work, but it is relatively difficult to get promoted, and only if they perform quite well in their own work will they have such opportunities.

First-class officials, after accumulating work and winning awards several times, can be promoted to an official after passing the assessment of the Wenmo Law Order.

Officials are not one, but the boundaries between officials and officials have been broken again.

This is the way of officials that Xu Zixian thinks, officials no longer go through the examination to obtain official positions, but officials, officials from the day of their appointment to take the exam, the civil law decrees that they can only be officials after passing the examination, and then promoted through meritorious service, through the will to push the vote to be promoted, relying on nepotism or patting horses to welcome is definitely not good, and hope that once the examination is for life, an exam will obtain the power of an official, which is not fair to many smart people who are not good at exams and whose family background cannot maintain a long period of hard study.

Xu Zixian is not abandoning the imperial examination now, he wants to regard the imperial examination officials as election officials, higher academic qualifications, higher standards of ethics, and a broader vision, which can be selected among scholars, ordinary people, and officials, and limit the number of examinations and the number of people, they can use a higher vision to determine the direction of development of affairs, but the real strength is left to the affairs officer.

Imperial examination officials can be pragmatic or pragmatic, depending on their actual power and status, as well as their own ability.

They will be a kind of benchmark and moral example, you can see the direction of the country's major policies, no longer flies and dogs, the inheritance of Chinese civilization, there are indeed outstanding points, people who have mastered the first philosophical knowledge can sit in a high position, but they should see far, understand more, and point out the correct direction for the people in morality, technology, philosophy, foreign affairs, including military affairs.

In addition to the military officials and commanders, there are also legal officials, specializing in law, and the punishment department of the Great Wei is quite professional, but it is also a disadvantage and too administrative. Xu Zi first hoped to expand the legal officials, respectively, the criminal department, the Jing'an Division, the legal department and other departments, responsible for criminal investigation, inspection, judgment, etc., the original criminal division and Dali Temple are more rigorous, more professional, and put an end to the use of roads to raise the sentence, the government to raise the sentence, the county to raise the sentence such a division of the law, but divided into the central, local, gathering areas, grass-roots law department, middle-level law department, high-level law department, whether it is questioning, trial, judgment, are completed by professionals, and are not subject to the constraints and command of local officials.

Military officials, commanders, and legal officials are one, two, and three respectively, and they are divided into salary grades according to their ranks, and everyone has a certain amount of power and a channel for advancement, which is the best official method in Xu Zixian's heart.

The most important thing is to set up the judicial department, the military, the daily officials, the assessment, the audit, the financial audit, the clean government, and the establishment of complete rules and regulations, instead of being as vague as before.

For example, the official position of the Great Wei Dynasty is vague and vague, and many nominal officials are not distinguished, and the duties of the officials are not separated.

Every county government will have a hired master, and the yamen is full of helpers, most of those villains are scoundrels, and the imperial court adds ten wen tax, and it becomes fifty wen or even one hundred wen for them to dance up and down.

The unclear rule of officials has always been a landmark product of the last days of the dynasty, and Xu Zixian hopes to put an end to this forever.

There is no such thing as an official who is not corrupt at all and does not use his power, and it is the ideal state to give certain restraints so that the government can always operate on a relatively benign basis.

Due to the high salary, there is a hope of progress, and the senior management of Nan'an Hou Mansion has made it clear that there will be quite a generous year-end reward this winter, and overseas expatriates will have double the bonus depending on their performance, which makes many really smart people willing to be stationed overseas and enjoy it.

It was one of them who came to greet Chen Daojian, the second-class commander Zhang Bofu, who was full of shrewdness and ability, medium in stature, wearing a short blue robe, with the hem tucked at his waist, striding forward when he walked, and when he walked to Chen Daojian's side, he bowed his hand from afar.

"I've seen Master Chen."

The current secretary of the Hou Mansion, Li Yi, is regarded as the highest official in the official position, then the right assistant, and then the judges of the various Si Cao, if calculated according to the grade, Li Yi is about five grades, and the right auxiliary is six grades, and the judgment of each Si Cao is counted from the sixth or seventh grade, no matter how many grades, the status must be far above the officials, Zhang Bofu's etiquette is quite respectful, and he also takes the initiative to give gifts.

It can be seen that the Nan'an Hou Mansion has an initial influence on the Japanese here, and when Zhang Bofu saluted, many Japanese and merchants cast curious eyes here.

Chen Daojian is seventeen years old, not yet eighteen, young and handsome, well-dressed, tall and well-proportioned, showing the demeanor of a perfect Chinese man.

As for the delicate spirit of reading, the little nobility cultivated by the officials for a long time makes Chen Daojian outstanding in appearance, and his demeanor and temperament are also quite outstanding.

Along the way, not only merchants, but also Japanese samurai and pedestrians were watching the place, and the women were looking at this place with fascinated eyes, talking to each other and laughing coquettishly.

It is not surprising that a handsome young man like Chen Daojian is also the attire of a Great Wei official, causing such a commotion.

Many Japanese people exchanged ears, and one old Japanese said: "Do you see it, this is the angel of the kingdom." ”
