The ironclad ship Guangdong sailed on the sea for three and a half months, and Zhu Jinglun pondered on board for three and a half months. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The other frigates and the officers on board stayed at the Dartmouth Naval School in Britain to study, and only 10 transport ships came back with Zhu Jinglun.

The ship docked at the Huangpu Wharf in Guangzhou, because the Guangzhou Wharf is not suitable for berthing such large ships, and ships of more than 5,000 tons are now docked at Huangpu Port.

As soon as the boat stopped, a large number of officials had already greeted him, led by Shangshu Ling Chen Zhiting, he saw Zhu Jinglun, and breathed a sigh of relief, although the state affairs have been stable for most of the past half a year, but he can't see the emperor, he is still not steady.

But Zhu Jinglun didn't even bother to listen to Chen Zhiting's report on political affairs, to be honest, he didn't pay much attention to the details, in the early days he was more concerned about the construction of the system, and later generations had a full stop, the competition between countries in the future, the competition is the ability to create a system, but Zhu Jinglun feels that the highest level is not to formulate a series of visible systems, but to maintain a rule that produces a reasonable system.

So before ascending the throne, Zhu Jinglun also personally designed some national systems, but after ascending the throne, his main focus was on creating a good rule, which can constantly produce new reasonable systems and improve old unreasonable systems, but obviously his rules have not progressed, because he has not yet let the whole people, especially government officials, accept a unified spirit, without a unified guiding spirit, where can there be unified rules.

And now Zhu Jinglun feels that he seems to have touched a little eyebrow, and combining traditional morality with the modern business system is not a good spirit.

But the spirit is such a thing, it cannot be seen or touched, it can only be guided, it can only be instilled, but it cannot be formulated, and it cannot be regulated through the situation in clear words.

As for guidance, what is better than the emperor putting himself in the shoes of a teacher, coming directly and efficiently.

These could not be discussed with Chen Zhiting, so Zhu Jinglun simply listened to Chen Zhiting's report and found that there was nothing special about it, especially nothing bad happened, so he immediately summoned Wu Chongyao, and he had to discuss this matter with Wu Chongyao, because he decided to use his joint assets with Wu Chongyao to make a demonstration of Guangfu Bank first.

Fortunately, he directly pulled Wu Chongyao back to the palace together, but he didn't expect that when he saw his palace, Zhu Jinglun didn't know him, and in the eight months that he left, someone actually rebuilt the palace for Zhu Jinglun.

Outside, a nine-zhang high blue brick and stone wall was erected, completely blocking the palace from the market, and a gorgeous table was erected in front of the gate, and a heavy palace gate was built, and everything was rebuilt according to the etiquette system. The inside of the palace has also completely changed, and the tall and majestic blue brick glazed hall has three entrances and three entrances. The building can be regarded as carved beams and paintings, the corridors and bridges of the corridor are painted on the wood, and the rafters are carved with various beasts.

The only bad thing is that the garden built by the governor of Liangguang in the past has been demolished, and the rockeries and forests have all been moved out. Just like the Forbidden City in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there can be no trees inside, not for fire prevention, but to prevent assassination, so the ancient palace pays attention to a transparency that makes it impossible for assassins to hide. On the contrary, it is an official's house, which can be built into a garden. This is why Emperor Qianlong always likes to go to the homes of some ministers to wander around and evaluate other people's rockery gardens. Of course, the Manchu royal family also built gardens such as the Old Summer Palace themselves, but the Forbidden City is a very monotonous imperial palace.

It took more than eight months to build such a palace, foreigners should be amazed, but Zhu Jinglun is not surprised by this amount of work, in terms of super-large-scale construction, China's experience has always stood in the forefront of the world, the first thanks to the frequent flooding of the Yellow River, often need tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people to fight disasters together, which makes the Chinese dynasties have the ability to organize huge construction, the second is the Chinese practice of abandoning the old and welcoming the new, in addition to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, almost all dynasties after the new construction, will build their own capital, not only the palace, Even cities are sometimes built outright.

It is said that when the Han and Tang dynasties built Luoyang City, it took more than ten months to build, and the Ming Dynasty repaired Xi'an City in only four years, compared with the West to build a palace, it often took decades, the most important reason is that the Chinese can set up a construction team of 10,000 people, this is not a question of how many people, this is mainly a problem of management ability.

Although the scale of Zhu Jinglun's palace is very large, it is small compared with the private houses and the palaces of previous dynasties, so the palace of Sanjin is not troublesome to build, and it can be completed in eight months by 350,000 people at the same time.

Zhu Jinglun didn't expect Chen Zhiting to rebuild the palace without telling him, and he was not angry about it, after all, it was not a day or two since Chen Zhiting asked to repair the palace, before Zhu Jinglun was farming in the palace, insisting that there was no need to waste money, he just had enough to live, and the finances were so tight, so don't waste it on these meaningless things, so he refuted Chen Zhiting's proposal many times.

didn't expect this guy to be so persistent, taking advantage of his absence in the country, he directly repaired it, and came to a prelude to the first chop.

As for why Chen Zhiting has such a strong obsession, Zhu Jinglun himself has to bear a lot of responsibility, if he is simply farming in the palace, then it will be fine, but he also needs to meet the diplomats in the palace from time to time, which makes Chen Zhiting embarrassed, in his opinion, the emperor is not unacceptable to farm, it is all wild, many civil officials do not like to farm in their hometown after retirement, Emperor Yongzheng also found someone to draw a set of field hunting maps, and now it is collected in the household treasury of the Ming Dynasty.

But this meeting with diplomats, especially with foreigners, made Chen Zhiting lose face, especially since he had heard foreigners talk about it in private, foreigners said that the palace of the poor emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not have a few decent rooms, not to mention, the emperor himself still needed to farm.

A poor word deeply stung Chen Zhiting. In fact, he is also a matter of mentality, if Da Ming is a prosperous world, he is afraid that he will disdain this statement, and secretly laugh at Yi Ren for not being knowledgeable. But the problem is that now Daming is really poor, and he is the prime minister who is fully responsible for national affairs, which makes Chen Zhiting feel that his work has not been done well.

Chen Zhiting does not have this kind of psychological disorder, so he has a very peaceful mentality, and many times he wears coarse cloth clothes and releases the ducks, and then goes to meet the foreign ministers who come to see him.

After Chen Zhiting heard many times that Zhu Jinglun was still talking to foreign ministers with mud on his body, he made up his mind that no matter what, he would build the palace, not to build it on the scale of the Forbidden City, but at least it had to look like a palace. Of course, he also held back a lot of strength in his heart, and after a few years, when Daming's family foundation was thick, he would definitely build a palace that would not lose to the Forbidden City.

When Zhu Jinglun saw this new palace, he could only acquiesce, and asked if he knew that Chen Zhiting was not a forced laborer, but a craftsman who spent money to hire, and Zhu Jinglun did not intend to pursue it, but he still had to be reprimanded, this is an act of discretion regardless of his own attitude, if the courtiers are all in this style, once they are cultivated, they will be the same as the Japanese Army, and once they are used to doing their own thing, they will drag the country into the abyss.

reprimanded and fined for half a year probably didn't leave Chen Zhiting with any lessons, but it made the officials understand a rule, and the following offenses should be punished.

Zhu Jinglun's mind was not on the palace, he soon pulled Wu Chongyao to the newly built imperial study, and found that many antiques moved back from the Qing Palace were decorated here by Chen Zhiting, but they were all rare calligraphy and painting cultural relics that were not easy to preserve, and they were thrown to the people for fear of poor preservation.

didn't bother to pay attention to these, and quickly told Wu Chongyao what he thought, and Wu Chongyao had no reason to object.

Only then did Zhu Jinglun discover that he could still play a bright banner by integrating tradition into modernity, that is, advocating traditional morality.

As long as he holds high the banner of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, let alone Wu Chongyao, it is estimated that the most pedantic old masters in the countryside will not be able to oppose it, which is a good way to balance the conservative forces.

Zhu Jinglun came up with an idea, and Wu Chongyao immediately went to implement it.

One of the banks was under the auspices of banker McLean, and was completely managed in accordance with the Western banking system, but at the beginning of last year, McLean made enough money to return to China for retirement, and Guangfu Bank was directly handed over to his own people to manage, and the shopkeeper was a distant nephew of Wu Chongyao, who had studied carefully with McLean's side for five years and had completely mastered the operation of modern banking.

Wu Chongyao took Zhu Jinglun's charter, and his nephew immediately presided over the introduction of a series of new management measures.

With loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness as the guiding ideology, to the surviving parents of the staff, plus a tael of silver per month maintenance allowance, this money for the Guangfu Bank, which was originally from the major shops and even foreign banks to invite the accountant, this money is nothing, but it expresses a concept of filial piety, if they themselves uphold this traditional culture, they will have a better view of the bank.

Apprentices with the lowest salaries can borrow an interest-free loan from the bank whenever there is a big event such as a wedding or funeral in the family. This reflects the psychological concern of the bank's top management for the low-level employees, and is the idea of benevolence.

As for the embodiment of righteousness, Zhu Jinglun had already thought about it, and discussed with the low-level staff, and they would take out a little salary every month to establish a public account, but whenever someone encountered difficulties and needed help to get through the difficulties, they would use the funds from this account to help them.

Obviously, Zhu Jinglun's methods are still in the exploration stage, and they still seem a little rigid, deliberate and even stiff, but he feels that they should be able to get results, at least play a leading role.

He felt that Guangfu Bank was currently the most effective modern business organization in the Ming Dynasty, and her every move should be able to be studied and imitated by other commercial organizations like the star enterprises of later generations.

But what Zhu Jinglun didn't expect was that the system of the Guangfu Bank was ridiculed more, and the public opinion of the newspaper did not agree with it at all, because the people felt that the accounts in the Guangfu Bank were all like the big shopkeepers, and they did not need to be rescued at all, so Zhu Jinglun introduced these systems, but it was considered that the bank was giving benefits to employees in disguise.

Zhu Jinglun was a little depressed, maybe out of jealousy, maybe he really didn't choose a good object, and the first experiment ended in failure.
