Volume 16 Chapter 10 Add the Yamen

The discussion on the reorganization of the imperial court is still continuing, and the reason why Zhu Cijiong released the news a few days in advance is to make everyone think carefully about how to change it to be reasonable and how to make the imperial court more efficient.

The bigwigs of the various yamen are not corpse vegetarians, so they naturally know what they are responsible for under their subordinates, and they have long had their own ideas about the reorganization plan, so Zhu Cijiong ordered it all the way, and everyone spoke very actively.

Next, it was the turn of Sun Yuanhua, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who saw the emperor's encouraging eyes, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that the functions of the Ministry of War are particularly complicated, such as the distribution and management of weapons and equipment, the allocation and storage of grain and grass, the drills and operations of the Army Corps, and the drills and operations of the Navy Corps, all of which should be separated, and it is most reasonable for the War Department itself to only manage military registration and military orders. “

When Zhu Cijiong heard this, he nodded approvingly and said, "Well, what Chu Yang said is very right, I will consider these things in the future." “

Next, it is the turn of Cai Bangjun, the secretary of Taichang Temple, the functions of the five temples are relatively simple, and there is no need to split, but with the development of the Ming Dynasty, the personnel are a little insufficient, so Cai Bangjun only asked for additional personnel, and did not suggest splitting the functions.

Zhu Cijiong simply concluded: "Well, let's not talk about the five temples, they are all short of personnel, you all draw up a charter, and I will give you approval as appropriate." “

Next, he looked at Cheng Guoxiang, the head of the household department, which was the focus of this reorganization, because they should be the most overwhelmed.

Sure enough, Cheng Guoxiang looked at the emperor's eyes, and immediately said eagerly: "Your Majesty, Wechen feels that the reorganization of the household department is urgent, the Ming Dynasty has tripled the number of provinces alone in recent years, the number of officials has almost tripled, the taxes have tripled, and the various expenditures have also increased several times. It was also necessary to separate the management of taxes and merchants, and concentrate only on the management of the expenses of the imperial court. “

When Zhu Cijiong heard this, he couldn't help but praise: "Well, what Zhong Ruo said is very good, and the next Criminal Department, Zhan Shifu, and Hanlin Academy are nothing more than adding personnel and increasing positions, so I won't talk about it here, you will come up with the articles of association, and I will give you your approval." All of you Aiqing can be selfless, do not fight for power and profit, just to do things well and improve the efficiency of the court, which is very gratifying. However, the addition of the yamen can only be done step by step, and all the yamen cannot be reorganized at one time, otherwise everyone is busy transferring, and the entire court will not be chaotic? “

The latter sentence he said in a joking tone, and everyone present naturally smiled very cooperatively, and the whole scene was more harmonious.

Immediately afterwards, he pretended to be mysterious and said: "So, which yamen should be added first?" “

Speaking of this, he deliberately stopped, smiled and looked at the big guys present, as if he wanted them to make suggestions.

This question has not been considered by everyone, is it different which department is added first and which department is added later?

Judging from the emperor's expression, this effect must be different, so which departments should be added first?

Zhu Cijiong naturally has an answer to this question, and he immediately guided: "Water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat, everyone knows this, right?" “

Isn't this nonsense? I didn't know that I could be admitted to the Jinshi and be an official!

Zhu Cijiong continued: "Since Qin Shi Huang unified China, how many dynasties have followed? Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Two Jin, Northern and Southern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, Song, Yuan, Ming, how many dynasties, so what is the reason for the change of dynasties? “

This problem is a bit more complicated, it seems that when each dynasty changes, it seems that not only a little thing happens, but basically a lot of things accumulate together to cause the demise of a dynasty.

Moreover, looking at the emperor's posture, he was not prepared to let anyone answer, his old man was going to ask and answer himself, so the big guys present did not speak, but just looked at the emperor attentively, looking like he was listening to the teachings.

Sure enough, Zhu Cijiong then said: "No matter what caused the fall of a dynasty, every time a dynasty changes, there is basically one thing in common, that is, the people are not happy!" They won't be able to live if they don't rebel, do you think they'll rebel? If everyone lived in abundance, who would want to cause chaos in the world? “

The emperor actually talked about the issue of rebellion, this is simply too weird, the people below are all dumbfounded, but it seems that what the emperor said seems to be very reasonable, everyone is living well, who would think about rebellion!

Zhu Cijiong finally concluded: "Therefore, the people of Li are the foundation of the country, and only by letting the people live and work in peace and contentment can a dynasty have long-term peace and stability, and the richer the people, the stronger the country, and foreign humiliation should not be imposed on oneself." “

Now everyone understands what the emperor means, and the yamen, which can make the people live a prosperous life, must go first.

So which yamen is it? This still needs to be asked, it must be the household department, and everyone's eyes can't help but look at Cheng Guoxiang, the secretary of the household department.

Cheng Guoxiang is so scared, why are you all looking at me?

Fortunately, the emperor's eyes did not look over, Cheng Guoxiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, how to make the people's lives rich, this proposition is too big, let him answer, how can he answer!

Cheng Guoxiang breathed a sigh of relief, but Huang Daozhou was scared out of a cold sweat, because the emperor was staring at him.

The panic in his heart, Your Majesty, why are you looking at me if you don't ask so many big guys? I don't know how to answer this question!

The reason why Zhu Cijiong stared at Huang Daozhou was not that he wanted this product to come up with any ideas, he was just organizing the language, and after staring for a while, he finally spoke: "If you want to make the people of Li live a prosperous life, you must first let them learn the ability to make money. “

When everyone heard this, they all nodded thoughtfully, all the stuffy farming can indeed only be mixed with a full stomach, if you want to say rich, it is far away!

Zhu Cijiong then named and said: "Youxuan has done a very good job in this regard, so I decided to first set up a Ministry of Education, with Youxuan as the Shangshu, responsible for the enlightenment education of all the people, skills education, imperial examination teaching and the promotion of Sinology." “

Huang Dao, who was scared to death a second ago, heard this, and fainted with excitement at the wrong point, from a nominal Zhengsanpin Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi to a Zhengerpin Shangshu What a leap, the most important thing is that he is in charge of the teaching work he is most familiar with, this is simply a department tailored for him!

In fact, Zhu Cijiong only thought about adding a new yamen in order to arrange a position for him, and then thought of the current situation of the various yamen in the imperial court.

Of course Huang Daozhou didn't know this, he only felt that the emperor was simply too good to him, this favor, even if the emperor asked him to jump into the hot oil pot immediately, he would not hesitate to jump!
