Wu Jianye's rapid promotion was a bit unexpected by everyone, but it was being cleaned up. Fastest updates

In terms of fame, he is from a champion background, and no one here can compare with him;

In terms of ability, he is also quite good, and the "Beijing News" and the new post office are both impressive in his hands;

The only thing he lacks is qualifications, after all, he has been an official for more than ten years, and he is not even forty years old, and the official residence is indeed a bit exaggerated, but with the emperor's appreciation, this qualification problem is not a problem.

This top spot has been pulled out by Wu Jianye, so who will the next two Shangshu be?

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Zhu Cijiong continued: "The teacher mentioned last time that foreign affairs, receiving envoys from various countries and other affairs should be separated from the ceremonial department, and I think it is very reasonable, and the importance of foreign exchanges can also be seen from this time in Tsarist Russia, the Persian Safavid Empire, and the Tile Thorn Koubian for no reason. Now we are in the so-called Age of Discovery, the convenience of maritime transportation has made the contact between countries more and more frequent, if you don't take the initiative to interact with people, then it is very likely that people are coming to the door and you don't know what's going on. Therefore, I feel that it is necessary to set up a special yamen, not only responsible for receiving envoys from various countries, but also taking the initiative to go out and interact with other countries, so as to at least avoid the Ming being beaten for no reason, right? “

His last sentence was said in a joking tone, and everyone present hurriedly nodded with a smile very cooperatively, is Da Ming still afraid of people coming to fight? Of course not afraid, the tile thorn has been destroyed, and the Persian Safavid Empire has also been beaten to the ground and sued for peace, and now Tsarist Russia is still resisting, and it will pay the price for fighting the Ming Dynasty for no reason!

Of course, it is best not to be beaten by others, after all, the Ming Dynasty is not strong enough to be invincible in the world, and one or two powers may still be able to withstand the beating, if there are four or five powers, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to withstand it.

Zhu Cijiong then continued: "This second department is specifically responsible for external affairs, I named it the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as for this candidate for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I haven't found a suitable one, just right, isn't there a clause in the "Da Ming Chongzheng Law", the officials from one to five grades are nominated by the cabinet, this time according to this, you all go back and think about it, what are the suitable candidates, sort out their resumes, ten days later, the cabinet organizes a meeting, conducts selection, you determine the final candidate, and then hand it over to me, If it's okay, I'll give you a approval! “

The emperor really does what he says, a future Zhengyipin member is really decided by the cabinet!

Everyone present was excited, and the upcoming power was not the main reason for their excitement, the most important thing was the emperor's trust in them and this respect.

However, among the ten bigwigs present, there is one person who is not very excited, and when everyone is smiling, he frowned, no need to ask, this person is Zhu Youzhen, the prime minister of the cabinet, because he has never seen the kind of election that the emperor said, let him preside over it, the pressure is great!

Zhu Cijiong noticed his embarrassment, but he didn't say anything to comfort him, because he would demonstrate what this election was all about.

He then continued: "This third department is about railway transportation, and as you know, the railways of the Ming Dynasty are being repaired more and more, not only the provinces, but also the vassal states have successively opened the railway, and now the Eurasian railway has also been built, that is to say, the railway of the Ming Dynasty is about to go straight to the European continent!" “

This is indeed an exciting thing, the convenience and speed of the railway are deeply aware of the people here, it is because of the development of the railway Ming will be so rapid, even in the last few wars, the railway is the key factor that determines the victory or defeat, it can be said that the railway has become one of the biggest driving forces for the Ming take-off.

Zhu Cijiong looked at everyone's excited expressions, and then poured a scoop of cold water and said: "However, now, the railway management of the Ming Dynasty is very chaotic, and it has not played its due role at all. “

When everyone heard this, they all showed stunned expressions, especially Bi Maokang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was stunned at first, and then lowered his head in shame, indeed, the management of the railway is very messy, and Zhang Cai, the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, complained to him more than once.

Zhu Cijiong also noticed Bi Maokang's expression, and this time he said comfortingly: "Of course, this can't be blamed on the Ministry of Industry, let alone Meng Hou, the main reason is that there is no perfect system to regulate the management of the railway, and there is no special yamen to manage the railway, so I am ready to set up a transportation department to manage the transportation of railways, roads and waterways." “

When Bi Maokang heard this, he couldn't help but look at the emperor gratefully, he really didn't have time to take care of this railway transportation, and he couldn't be busy with technical matters alone.

Speaking of this, Zhu Cijiong turned his gaze to Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, and said with a smile: "Didn't I just ask you to elect the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you may not know what the constitution is for this election, I will show you here." “

After that, he took out a piece of official paper from his arms and said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Of course, there must be a candidate for this election, and I have a candidate here, if you have any candidates, you can also put it forward, I will read the resume of this candidate first, and everyone will see how it is." “

After that, he cleared his throat and said loudly: "Candidate Zhang Pu, a native of Taicang Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, is forty-two years old, a fourth-year jinshi in Chongzheng, elected a Jishi, successively served as the commander of Xiaoyi County, and the governor of Fenzhou. Later, he was promoted to the prefect of Taiyuan, and Taiyuan Mansion soon improved under his governance, and within a few years, it was almost to catch up with Fengtianfu; Then he was promoted to the political envoy of Zuobu of Shanxi Chengxuan's political envoy department, and now the prosperity of the entire Shanxi Chengxuan political envoy department is about to catch up with Nanzhili! How do you feel about this person? “

Shanxi's drought and bandits were well-known in the early days of Chongzheng, and the ability to govern such a place comparable to the prosperous Nanzhili was indeed a talent, and everyone nodded and praised it again and again.

Zhu Cijiong then asked, "Then do you have any other candidates?" If you have anything, you can bring it up. “

This is a typical surprise attack, and for a while, where did these people think of the right person, they could only shake their heads helplessly.

Zhu Cijiong smiled secretly in his heart, of course he knew that everyone couldn't find a more suitable candidate than Zhang Pu at once, he had already been interested in Zhang Pu, and the reason why he took it out for evaluation was just to give everyone here a demonstration of election.

Seeing that there were no candidates, he continued solemnly: "The constitution of the election is like this, everyone reads out the resumes of the people they elected, and then begins to vote by raising their hands, and whoever gets the most votes will be elected." The following will begin to vote by show of hands, and those who agree to Zhang Pu as the secretary of the Ministry of Transport, please raise their hands. “

After that, he was the first to demonstrate raising his right hand, and then Zhang Cai, the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, followed his example and raised his right hand, then Xu Guangqi, Bi Maokang, Sun Yuanhua ......, and finally, everyone raised their hands.

Zhu Cijiong smiled and said: "Very good, Zhang Pu got eleven votes, I believe no one can vote more than him, I announced that Zhang Pu was elected as the secretary of the Ministry of Transport." “

This seems to be a bit sloppy, but the entire selection process has been rehearsed, and everyone present nodded in understanding, and the election turned out to be like this.

Especially Zhu Youzhen, the frowning brows finally unfolded, doesn't this election seem to be difficult to host!
