Zhu Yijun doesn't know where Daming will go in the future, and Zhu Yijun doesn't know what the results of his reform will be. knows what he wants to do, but how to do it, Zhu Yijun doesn't know.

Now what he has to do is to cultivate some talents as much as possible, maybe a little too hasty, but Zhu Yijun doesn't know what else he can do.

Let Zhang Juzheng do it, what can the result be?

Zhang Juzheng's reform seems to be good on the surface, and the goal of enriching the country and strengthening the army has also been achieved, but if the fundamental problem is not solved, the Ming Dynasty still has no hope. What I want is not for Daming to last a few more years, but to create a prosperous empire.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Zhu Yijun waved his hand at Zhang Whale and said lightly: "Go ahead and do it!" ”

Zhang Whale left, Zhu Yijun walked out of the main hall, standing at the door of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yijun looked at the sky in the distance. Maybe you'll regret what you did today, or maybe you'll be proud of what you've done this year, who knows?

These words flashed through Zhu Yijun's mind: crossing the river by feeling the stones.

In the early years of Wanli, out of the first month, the entire capital was surging, and the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng, was released. Six departments are controlled by six departments, and then six departments are controlled by the cabinet. For the things to be done, from the cabinet to the six subjects, from the six subjects to the yamen, the examination at all levels, so that they know what to do.

The introduction of the examination method made Zhang Juzheng in the limelight for a while, and the Ming Dynasty officially began to enter the era of Zhang Juzheng's rule.

The impeachment of Zhang Juzheng was sent in, like a mud cow into the sea, and there was no news. At the court meeting, both the emperor and the Empress Dowager Li all stood on the platform for Zhang Juzheng and vigorously supported the examination method, and the entire Ming officialdom shook for a while.

There was a commotion outside, and Zhu Yijun was hiding in the palace.

This time he is going to build a blast furnace for steelmaking, not too high, for experiments. This time, Zhu Yijun didn't plan to let Wu Qingbo do it, but let a eunuch do it, and this eunuch was Chen Ju.

As Zhu Yijun's confidant, Chen Ju has a very special status in the palace.

First, Chen Ju is young, second, Chen Ju understands the rules, and third, it is Zhang Hong who is now with Chen Ju. Everyone can see that the emperor really values Chen Ju, and at the same time, he is really ready to let Chen Ju do great things in the future.

No one dares to offend Chen Ju now, and this one will definitely soar in the future.

It's just that Zhu Yijun doesn't plan to put Chen Ju in the palace, he needs Chen Ju to go out and do things for himself. The money you earn can't be moldy in the imperial village, but you still have to do something, so what to do?

Zhu Yijun's first thought was steelmaking, and any future generation knows what steel represents.

Later, when New China was first founded, although the Great Iron and Steel Movement was criticized by many people and indeed caused a lot of waste, that movement was not useless, and it laid the foundation for New China to become a big steel country.

If a country wants to develop industry, the first thing to develop must be steel.

Copper cannons will be eliminated sooner or later, wrought iron cannons, steel cannons, that is the trend of the future. With the addition of rifling, the power of the gun will be doubled, and if you can make a breezed rifled gun, it will be a big deal.

Metal fixed shells plus rear-loading rifled guns, that is the cannon of later generations. With smokeless gunpowder, the combat effectiveness is off the charts.

Of course, this is only the ultimate goal, and now Zhu Yijun is fantasizing.

Others can be slowed down, but the matter of steelmaking must be put on the agenda, this thing cannot be delayed, and the accumulation of technology in the early stage takes time. It doesn't matter if you can't refine steel in the front, let's aim for wrought iron first.

Zhu Yijun told Chen Ju in detail what he asked him to do, handed over the plan he wrote to Chen Ju, and asked him to do it strictly according to what was written above.

This matter is handed over to Chen Ju, Zhu Yijun is relieved, if it is replaced by Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale, Zhu Yijun would rather be good. Even if it is replaced by Feng Bao, Zhu Yijun will not do it. Zhang Hong can, but the palace can't do without him.

Before Chen Ju left the palace, Zhu Yijun arranged a new errand for Chen Ju.

Zhu Yijun handed over the War Bureau to Chen Ju, although the War Bureau has always existed, but it used to exist in name only. Although it belongs to one of the twenty-four yamen of the inner court, it has no real power and no oil and water.

Zhu Yijun has long been eyeing this yamen, although this yamen is not big and an empty shell, but it has many qualifications that are very important.

The War Bureau is responsible for the manufacture of weapons, including knives, guns, swords, axes, armor, bows and arrows.

These things can be intervened in the war bureau, but when the emperor's father was there, Gao Gong said that it was up to him, how could he let the eunuch master these, and the war bureau was wasted. Zhu Yijun thinks it's just right, and it's easy to rebuild when it's all empty.

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry don't have to think about reaching out, there are so many cats in the ordnance that they can't count, Zhu Yijun won't think about poking that hornet's nest.

At the beginning of March, Chen Ju left the palace and walked quietly, and no one else in the palace was alarmed.

After entering March, the implementation of the examination law became more powerful, and Zhang Juzheng began to clean the court. From top to bottom, there were more than a dozen Beijing officials throughout March. The highest official position is Yang Bo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the lowest official position is also the speech official of each section.

Although there are only seven grades of the official, but the person is a noble official and has great power, how can such a person not cause a shock.

Coupled with Yang Bozhishi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, it can be said that the people in the court are panicked. The impeachment of Zhang Juzheng soared again, but it was suppressed again, and like the last time, it once again proved Zhang Juzheng's invincibility.

The east factory is silent, and Liu Shouyou, the governor of Jinyi Wei, is looking forward to Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng is doing things, so naturally there are no taboos.

Since the Chinese New Year, You Qi and Zhang Whale's nephew have been hot, and the two have become brothers again. The successful formation of the Zhang-Zhang alliance has increased Zhang Juzheng's confidence, and he is naturally ambitious to show his ambitions.

The officials in the capital are panicked, but some people are worried and some laugh, such as the people who follow Zhang Juzheng.

You must know that Zhang Juzheng is not nobody, although Gao Gong is strong, but Zhang Juzheng also came up step by step, or Xu Jie's student, after Xu Jie's departure from the imperial court, the people left by Xu Jie, naturally became Zhang Juzheng's people.

At that time, Zhang Juzheng was already the second assistant of the cabinet, and his status and strength were all sufficient. I have to say that Xu Jie is really a master, whether it is facing Yan Song or cultivating a successor for himself, he has a deep mind and a very accurate vision.

It's just that Zhang Juzheng is not a stupid person, although he is excellent and appreciated by Xu Jie, but he is completely different from Xu Jie.

When this person was panicking, something quietly became popular in the capital, and this thing was: Peking Opera!
