Chapter II: Civil and Military Affairs
After the banquet was dispersed, Zhu Yunwen smiled and watched the important ministers leave, but he couldn't hide his disappointment in his heart, these people are his carefully selected henchmen, and loyalty is no problem, since he was established as the prince, Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru, Wang Du and others have been following him and are loyal; As the son of Xu Da, Xu Huizu has no problem with his loyalty to Daming, even if his brother-in-law Yan Wang rebelled, he also stood firmly on his side; Chang Sheng, as the younger brother of his mother-in-law, legally calls him his uncle, and he has a relationship of both glory and loss; Ping'an, Sheng Yong, Qu Neng and others are all new magnates, although the remuneration is a little too high, but because of this, their loyalty will be more reliable, because they need their own support to gain a foothold in the court, and the title is rare, they will not fail to understand this truth.
For military generals, it is a good thing that the emperor is ambitious, with today's national strength, it is not impossible to conquer the grassland, and it is likely that there will be a new prince at that time, why not?
But for Wenchen, war is a thankless thing, in the war, Wenchen is often responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass, looting the people, but the benefits of war are often military generals. For example, in this rebellion of King Yan, the imperial court suddenly sealed out one duke, one marquis and two uncles, but what about Wenchen? but he was rewarded with some wealth.
Not only that, on the battlefield, Wenchen often had to obey the orders of the generals, which was difficult for those Wenchen who pretended to be the protégés of saints to accept. In those places, the sage quotations are often not good, and most of the gentry in the Central Plains are also protégés of Confucius and Mencius, and they can understand the decrees of the imperial court, and it is relatively easy to govern; But in the barbarian land, this set does not work, and it is an industry with more input and less output.
Therefore, Wenchen was not interested in participating in the whole process of the war and the governance of the new territory, which can understand why Wenchen was not interested in the war.
There is another possibility, Zhu Yunwen thought about it, they were afraid that they would be obsessed with martial arts, so they would not need them, because they didn't understand. Oh, by the way, this seems to be a bit like the business transformation of the company in later generations, the old courtiers in the transition period have been abandoned, the new people have taken the position, the company is turbulent, and sometimes the vitality will be greatly damaged. Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen smiled, he understood what to do, new business is developed by new people, and old business is maintained by old ministers.
The next day, Zhu Yunwen summoned Fang Xiaoru to inquire about the promotion of Hanyu Pinyin, but found a new problem, including Guozijian, many people were dissatisfied with the strange-looking symbols, thinking that it was a barbarian script, and they abandoned it one after another.
This made Zhu Yunwen a little annoyed, why are these people so disobedient? However, when he saw the pinyin scheme presented by Fang Xiaoru, he was stunned, although in his opinion, this was a set of ancient and strange symbols, but there was a strange sense of familiarity. Ao, Zhu Yunwen patted his head, he remembered that when he worked in a Taiwanese company in his previous life, the Taiwanese boss's keyboard was such a bunch of strange symbols, according to him, it was also Hanyu Pinyin, it was such a set of ghost things.
Looking at Zhu Yunwen's uncertain face, Fang Xiaoru looked respectful, but he was a little apprehensive in his heart. In fact, the popularity of this set of symbols is also the result of his deliberate indulgence, although he is the formulator of Hanyu Pinyin, but he doesn't like these symbols very much, but he doesn't know how to change them, but I didn't expect these people to think of it, and there are still the same. Fang Xiaoru was optimistic and watched the development of the situation silently, and in addition, he was in the middle of the war at the time, and he couldn't see Zhu Yunwen. I was asked today, and I had to talk about it.
Zhu Yunwen thought for a while, and suddenly smiled, forget it, I didn't like to learn English in my previous life, and I hope that the whole world will come to take the Chinese TOEFL, but now I want to implement the English alphabet, which doesn't seem to be in line with my original intention. It's just like this, all the scholars in the country like it, but they don't like it, because they have to re-study.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen suddenly looked at Hu Yan with a solemn face next to him, and said with a smile: "Ruosi, you also know about this matter." ”
Hu Yan hesitated for a moment, dusted off the sleeves of his robe, knelt down and said: "Emperor Qiqi, this symbol was originally designed by Weichen, and the students of Guozijian thought it was good, so they used it." The minister tampered with the symbol of the emperor's imperial approval without authorization, and he would never give up, please punish the emperor! ”
Zhu Yunwen suddenly laughed, slapped the table with a "snap", pointed at Hu Yan and said, "I really didn't expect that my symbol was actually changed by you, the company, are you guilty?" ”
"The minister is guilty."
Fang Xiaoru next to him hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, the minister is also responsible for this matter, when Ruosi designed these symbols, the minister liked it very much, so he didn't stop it." The minister is also at fault, please punish the emperor. ”
Zhu Yunwen looked at the two kneeling down, and suddenly said, "Zheng Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Calling, is here." ”
Liu Zhen hurriedly asked people to go to the Ministry of Rites to pass the decree, and after about a quarter of an hour, Zheng Yi walked in slowly, and said, "See the emperor!" ”
"I have something to do with you," Zhu Yunwen pointed at Fang Xiaoru and said: "Now that Fang Saijiu has encountered some difficulties in the promotion of Chinese pinyin, now there are two sets of symbols to choose from, I order you to be the adjudicator, convene the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the Hanlin Academy, and the officials above the doctor of Guozijian to discuss, I give you three days to determine the final Hanyu Pinyin plan, you may be able to do it?" ”
"This," Zheng Yi glanced at Fang Xiaoru and said in a deep voice: "The minister can do it." ”
"Okay, go ahead and get busy, I'll wait for your news."
Three days later, Zheng Yi and others determined the final plan, the one designed by Hu Yan. Zhu Yunwen smiled, rewarded Hu Yan on the spot, and finally encouraged him: "Ruosi, culture and education are national affairs, I am not good at it, fortunately you corrected it in time, otherwise once it is published in the world, I am afraid that it will be a disaster for future generations, and I will be ridiculed by future generations, so I am very grateful to you!" ”
"Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare to be!" Hu Yan thought that he would be convicted, but he didn't expect the emperor to be so magnanimous, so he couldn't help but be excited, and knelt down to thank him: "Thank you for the emperor's grace not to kill!" ”
"Of course I won't kill you, but I will reward you heavily, I heard that you have been renting a house in Beijing, I will give you a house, a thousand taels of silver, and appoint you as a guest of the crown prince to reward you for my work in checking and filling in the gaps."
"Emperor Xie, Emperor Xie Longen!" Hu Yan was really moved this time, and kowtowed again and again to thank him.
Zhu Yunwen smiled, personally helped Hu Yan up, turned back to Liu Zhen and said: "The residence selected for Lord Hu should be closer to Guozijian, so that it is convenient for him to teach and educate people, and the court is also closer." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liu Zhen hurriedly agreed.
Zhu Yunwen looked back at the people present, and said with a smile: "I am very happy today, I have all the Qing family to relieve my worries and seek the well-being of the people of the Ming Dynasty, I hope you can continue to help me." ”
"The Emperor Shengming!"
Everyone thanked him in unison, and then bowed away, everyone was very happy today, especially Fang Xiaoru was the most, he suddenly felt that the emperor was still a holy monarch!
The next day, Zhu Yunwen ordered the reprinting of the "Hongwu Dictionary", and some people suggested that it be renamed "Jianwen Dictionary", but Zhu Yunwen refused, he felt that it would be better to do so, because he owed Zhu Yuanzhang too much.
In the days that followed, Zhu Yunwen continued to promote the plan to develop Liaodong, upgraded the grade of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, and no longer attached to the Shandong Metropolitan Division; set up the Liaodong Political Envoy Division, and Cheng Benli was the political envoy; People migrated from Shanxi, Shandong, Henan and other places to Liaodong, and each household was allocated cattle, cloth, seeds, and land, and houses were built for them, and these people were mainly settled in Dalian and Shenyang, and the migration lasted from the second year of Jianwen to the fourth year of Jianwen, and the number of households relocated before and after was nearly 100,000.
After the establishment of the political envoy department, Zhu Yunwen ordered the implementation of household organization in the political envoy department of Liaodong, whether it is Han or barbarian, need to register and make a register, obey the dispatch and management of the three divisions of Liaodong, otherwise, die!
This inevitably caused the dissatisfaction of the tribes in Liaodong, and rebellions broke out frequently, and Wu Sheng, the capital of Liaodong, sent troops to suppress it, but he was overwhelmed and had to ask for help from the imperial court. After hearing the report, Zhu Yunwen ordered Yiguo to sit in Shenyang with 30,000 cavalry to deter the barbarians.
At the same time, Zhu Yunwen adjusted the army near the capital, and first appointed Zhang Rong, the son of the navigation marquis Zhang He, as the commander of the Yangtze River Naval Division to ensure the safety of the Beijing Division; secondly, it reorganized and improved its own guards, with a total of four infantry corps and two cavalry corps, with a number of 120,000 people, one cavalry corps stationed in Suiyuan and one stationed in Beiping, and at least two infantry corps stationed in Beijing, and the remaining two garrisoned in the frontier, which were rotated regularly; For the fifteen guards of the pro-army around the capital, send cronies to serve as commanders; The responsibility of guarding the palace was still handed over to the Jinyi Guard, with his henchman Zhang Tie as the commander, and the Jinyi Guard had become a purely guard-oriented army, and its investigation and investigation powers were dispersed into the Investigation Department and the Intelligence Department.
In addition, Zhu Yunwen also expanded the scale of martial arts, and set up martial arts branches in 17 capital divisions, responsible for recruiting officers at the level of 100 households, and the training target was 1,000 households; The academy of martial arts of the Beijing Division is divided into a thousand households class and a command class, the thousand households class recruits thousands of households, the training goal is the Wei commander, the command class only recruits the Wei commander, and the training goal is the capital secretary and above.
Zhu Yunwen clearly stipulated that any officer must go to the martial arts school once in order to be promoted, and the time should be as little as two months and as long as half a year. In order to strengthen the education of officers, Zhu Yunwen allocated funds to the Ministry of Industry to supervise the construction of the Martial Arts Academy, all buildings are made of masonry and cement, all windows are made of glass, dormitories, classrooms, bathhouses, toilets, and so on are complete, and strive to provide officers with a good learning and living environment.
Zhu Yunwen spent a huge amount of money to build a martial arts school, which immediately caused dissatisfaction in the civil and official system, and finally Zhu Yunwen had to agree to repair the Guozijian and the government schools in various places, replace all the windows with glass, and increase the students' salaries, etc., which made the civil and official system slightly satisfied.
After being busy with these things, Zhu Yunwen suddenly found that the palace was full of lights, and the New Year of the second year of Jianwen had arrived.
