Chapter 1229: An Unexpected Advance
"Shen Yongmao into the cabinet?"
Zhu Xu stopped and thought about it.
Shen Yongmao is the former secretary of the Ministry of War, and now he is the minister in Mongolia, stationed in Kulun, whether it is qualifications or ability, it is more than enough to enter the cabinet.
The most important thing is that Shen Yongmao is a 'neutral' who is biased towards the 'imperial party', Bi Ziyan and others can accept him into the cabinet, and Zhu Xu will not stop him, he is a quite suitable person.
"Who will succeed him?" After a while, Zhu Xu said.
In addition to the minister stationed in Mongolia, Shen Yongmao also had 30,000 cavalry (less than 20,000 in fact) gathered by various Mongolian tribes, and had an important management role in the Mongolian tribes, which would be more useful in the future.
This location is very important!
Bi Ziyan had already thought about it and said, "The Shuaifu has recommended Chen Xinjia, the governor of Beizhili, to take over. ”
"Chen Xinjia?"
Zhu Xu shook his head and said, "This person is a talent, but he is not enough to deal with the complicated situation on the Mongolian side. ”
Bi Ziyan has always been cautious about not interfering in the army, as far as he knows, there are only a few suitable people, but they all have tasks, they can't go fast, think about it again, he said, "Let Xiong Tingbi go, Chen Xinjia go to Liaodong, what does the emperor think?" ”
Xiong Tingbi has been in Liaodong for many years, and has dealt with Houjin and Mongolia for many years, and his ability and qualifications are enough to be competent.
Zhu Xu listened to the veto, and said: "Liaodong can't move for the time being, the candidates for the cabinet, you can change them, this matter is not in a hurry." ”
After speaking, Zhu Xu strode into the East Warm Pavilion.
Bi Ziyan raised his hand and did not follow.
However, Zhu Xu's attitude still made him very puzzled, and he asked two sentences earlier, but finally vetoed it.
But he also figured out one thing, that is, he will not be able to do it anytime soon, and there may be some buffer time.
The cabinet moved quickly, the personnel transfer was completed quickly, and Bi Ziyan did not leave for a long time, some rumors began to cool down, and the Ming court began to concentrate on dealing with the stubborn points in the 'new policy'.
The high-ranking officials and bigwigs of the imperial court are doing their best, and they seem to be preparing for something, and some difficult things have been overcome.
As if they were waiting for some kind of great change, the local officials were doing their best, and the 'New Deal' was able to move forward at a rapid pace, more than ten times faster than before.
All these changes fell into Zhu Xu's eyes and fell into the cabinet of adults.
Cabinet, third floor, Zhu Xu's class room.
Li Yizao and others, who came back from Egypt in advance, have already arrived in Beijing and are reporting to Zhu Xu.
"The emperor and his ministers have brought back more than 100,000 books from Europe, involving economy, culture, politics, science and technology, agriculture, handicrafts and other aspects, and the ministers have delivered them to the government and asked them to translate and sort them out as soon as possible......
"The trade treaties with Spain and the Netherlands, and the Combined Fleet Treaty have all been signed, but it will take two or three years to fully implement them, but King Xin and Gonggong Feng have confirmed with the two countries that they will send at least 10 million stone of grain to Beijing this year, and they will be able to fully fulfill the treaty next year and the year after that. The Combined Fleet would be formed relatively quickly, and the Netherlands wanted to work with the Combined Fleet to ensure the safety of their merchant ships, as well as some armed ships. England was a little ambiguous, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with the signing of the treaty between us and Spain, and there were some stumbles in cooperation, but it still preferred cooperative trade ......"
"The attitude of the Holy See is quite tough, they refuse to back down, they refuse all the conditions we have proposed, and say that they will send an envoy to the capital to talk directly with the emperor......"
"The rest of Europe has a complicated relationship, and most of them are dismissive of me, while France cares more about Europe and doesn't have much interest overseas. The Roman Empire was fragmented and made up of countless city-states, not a state in the true sense of the word, and it was difficult to get along with. The Ottomans were so murderous that they did not let our men in at all, and threatened to go eastward. Russia is too far away for our people to cross the Ottoman connection, but the Church coordinates it, and Russia still disdains us and seems to be interested in crusade eastward......"
Li Yizao and others reported to Zhu Xu in detail, as detailed and concise as possible.
Zhu Xu sat on the chair and listened quietly, and had a more intuitive impression of the situation in Europe.
In short, Europe is still in civil strife, and the two countries that can be useful to the Ming are Spain and the Netherlands, and the others are useless, and there are few in front of them.
After listening to this, Zhu Xu was relieved, and said with a smile: "It's been hard this way, so I'll do what you say." When the fleet returns to Beijing, the reward will be given together, now go back and have a good rest, and if you have been separated from your family for long enough, I will give you ten days, no, a month of vacation. ”
Li Yizao didn't feel tired, but he was still very excited about Zhu Xu's grace, and raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Cao Huachun personally sent Li Yizao away, showing his attention to this official who took the scientific and technological route.
Li Yizao brought Zhu Xu definitely good news, the contact with Europe can not only bring silver to the Ming Dynasty, but also continue to transfuse blood, preserve the remaining vitality of the Ming Dynasty, survive the disaster and recover as soon as possible.
Zhu Xu flipped through the books translated by Li Yizao on the road, about the relationship between the royal families of European countries.
These networks are intricately intertwined, and each royal family is marrying into each other, almost a family, but it is simply incredible.
For example, the queen of Spain is the sister of the French king, and the two countries are fighting openly and secretly for hegemony in Europe, and the struggle is just around the corner.
"Interesting." Zhu Xu looked at it, and countless thoughts were churning in his heart.
At this time, Xiao Yongning walked in with a small rocking cart, and said with a dissatisfied face, "Uncle Huang, I am a princess, not a princess, I will bring you children every day, and I will bring one ...... after another."
Zhu Xu ignored her, picked up the son in the cradle, sat on his lap, and waved
The son had a small hand and said: "Son, do you like your aunt, if you don't like it, my father will marry her far away, and I will no longer be out of sight and out of mind......"
Xiao Yongning's eyes widened, and he hurriedly walked over and massaged Zhu Xu's shoulders, and smiled at the four sons in Zhu Xu's arms, "I must like my aunt, wait for you to bring a little, my aunt will take you to eat all the delicious food in the capital, play all the fun places, and find you the best princess ......"
The little guy was in Zhu Xu's arms, looking at Zhu Xu with wide eyes, blinking constantly, expressing that he didn't understand.
Zhu Xu was very indifferent to the little girl's words, teasing the little guy.
This little guy is very happy, laughing from time to time, and sticking out his tongue, quite cute.
After a while, Cao Huachun came in and said, "Your Majesty, Gong Dingxiao, director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, asks to see you." ”
Zhu Xu said directly: "Xuan." ”
The Anti-Corruption Bureau is a special agency, not within the cabinet, not subordinate to the Dali Temple, the parliament, and directly under the emperor.
Gong Dingyu soon appeared in the Dongnuan Pavilion, raised his hand and said: "Minister Gong Dingyu see the emperor, long live my emperor." ”
