Chen Zhouquan was reluctant to stay in Nanjing to watch Zhou Lang's enthronement ceremony, and after a few days of hangover, he asked his sister to bring a message to Zhou Lang, and he set off by himself.

He wants to go to Zhejiang to collect his remnants, and he also has to go to Taiwan to re-recruit the old department, and he hopes that Zhou Lang will keep his promise and give him guns, food, and grass.

When Zhou Lang learned that Chen Zhouquan was gone, he immediately sent someone to chase him, not because he was worried that he would make trouble, but because he was afraid that someone would kill him.

Not to mention Wang Fuqian, who has been staring at Chen Zhouquan, there are a lot of people who want to curry favor with Zhou Lang now, and some of these "smart people" take it for granted that Zhou Lang doesn't want to kill Chen Zhouquan because he doesn't want to bear a bad name, and they want to do this dirty job for Zhou Lang, so as to curry favor with Zhou Lang.

Moreover, Chen Zhouquan's eyes were black, so he went back to gather soldiers and horses, I am afraid that if he can't wait to go abroad, he will be suppressed by the local auxiliary soldiers as bandits.

Lin Di, a young clerk, took a sailor clipper, quickly chased after him, and finally caught up with a Fujian merchant ship that Chen Zhouquan was riding in Zhenjiang. Chen Zhouquan didn't appreciate it, he thought that this was the person Zhou Lang sent to stare at him because he didn't worry about him, but he didn't care too much, and it was difficult for him to rest assured, so let the other party follow, he was upright and promised to go overseas, and he would never regret it. And he also solemnly stated that when he has the capital in the future, he will come back to fight for this splendid river and mountain.

Zhou Lang said that he was waiting for him at any time. Zhou Lang's atmosphere made Chen Zhou angry and angry, he felt that this was completely Zhou Lang looking down on him, he would rather Zhou Lang kill him than be looked down upon. He must go overseas to fight for a day, and turn around to let Zhou Lang's dog eyes take a good look.

During this time, Zhou Lang straightened out the business system in Nanjing, and with Guangzhou's experience and Guangzhou's talents, it was not difficult to concoct the same method in Nanjing.

The implementation of a simple tax system is still carried out, and there is no forced implementation of the degree of management and management beyond the acceptance of the people, and the jurisdiction is directly extended to the level of individuals, and the management of Nanjing's industry and commerce is still dominated by shops and factories, and the target of taxation is also these commercial institutions, not individuals.

However, the tax system that has been formulated cannot collect taxes at present, and it has just experienced the war, and it is estimated that everyone's life will not be easy this year, so follow the example of Guangzhou and exempt from tax for one year. Not only Nanjing, but also handicraft cities such as Suzhou and Hangzhou have already implemented new policies. In civil affairs, it is still a traditional routine, Zhou Lang feels that the imperial power under the patriarchal system does not go to the countryside, since it can maintain stability for more than a hundred years in ancient China, this shows that this set of policies is suitable for Chinese culture and Chinese historical traditions, anyway, he does not plan to extract any resources from the countryside, and can maintain stability, what is the lower cost than respecting tradition.

In addition to doing these work, it is to continue to unify the military, mainly in Zhejiang, before Ruan Yuan launched a regimental training here, which was too thorough, and the landlords in Zhejiang were really frightened, one by one they did not hesitate to recruit soldiers, and their own long-term and short-term workers could not meet their sense of security, and a large number of idle young and strong people were recruited, and the result was that after the war, Zhejiang, which was located on the front line, was the first to stabilize, but it was also Zhejiang, and the landlord armed forces retained were too large.

After all, Zhejiang is a large province with a population of 20 million, and it is located in the most economically active Jiangnan region, land annexation is more serious, the landlord power is stronger, and Jiangnan is also the cultural center of China in this era, the number of scholars here is more than other places, and the proportion of scholars is higher than other places, to put it bluntly, the economic foundation is better, so the development of education is better.

After all, those who read can learn from the military book, not to mention anything else, Qi Jiguang's method of organizing Qi's army is very good, with discipline, fighting spirit, and a large number of people.

Therefore, the reorganization of the landlords' regimental training in Zhejiang has begun, which needs to be based on softness, and it is to cooperate with the landlords, not to seize their military power. Therefore, on the one hand, he ordered the auxiliary troops to step up the extermination of bandits in various parts of Zhejiang, and try to cooperate with the local regiment to dispel the fear of the other party. The bandits are gone, and there is no need for the regimental training to continue to exist, at this time Zhou Lang told the landlords again that they could let their children become officers and integrate the regimental training. Raised by Zhou Lang, as Zhou Lang's auxiliary.

This is why in the past, the commander of the Zhangzhou Army would be only eighteen-year-old Huang Qiuhui, because their family was extremely supportive of the brothers' careers, not only armed their own long-term and short-term workers, but also took out almost all of the family's activity funds to recruit thousands of soldiers, and handed them over to Huang Qiuhuan to lead, the Huang family produced the most people, and the Huang family's reputation in the local area was also higher, as a result, the eighteen-year-old son of the Huang family became the head of the first army.

Now they are concocted in the same way, and they are not afraid of not getting the support of the Zhejiang landlords, after all, they have experienced the war, and they understand the value of peace and will never want to be suppressed.

The final work is to prepare for the enthronement.

It's not that it's not important to ascend the throne and claim the emperor, in Zhou Lang's view, this is some kind of plan, ascending the throne and becoming the emperor is to tell your subordinates, the direction you are heading, the purpose of your development, there will not be a company that will tell employees that the purpose of the company is just to make money simply, but will tell employees that the company's long-term plan is to develop to how much market share, and then where to go public, and how many years to develop into the world's top 500 Yunyun.

When we ascend the throne now, we are telling our subordinates that our purpose is to dominate the world, and the next step is to conquer the Manchus in the north.

Let Zhou Lang ascend the throne, this kind of thing has been mentioned by his subordinates more than once, Wang Fuqian strongly opposed it before, he believed in the three-step policy of building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowing down the king, but now the soldiers are full of food, and it is no longer possible to pretend to be a grandson by slowing down the king, after Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be a grandson, this trick is not good, the more low-key it is, the more people pay attention to it. Anyway, the Manchus would regard Zhou Lang, who occupied Jiangnan, as their main opponent, so if the name is not right, it will not be good, and the banner will be more inspiring and morale.

Historically, after Guo Zixing's death, Zhu Yuanzhang has always been the left deputy marshal appointed by Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, nominally Guo Zixing's son Guo Tianxu is the marshal of the capital, and his brother-in-law Zhang Tianyou is the right deputy marshal, all of whom have a higher status than him, but the army has always been in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang.

After conquering Nanjing, he only built the Generalissimo's Mansion in Nanjing, but did not claim the title of king. After rescuing Han Lin'er and controlling the nominal co-owner of the rebel army, King Xiao Ming, he was only called King Wu under the recommendation of his subordinates. After unifying the south of the Yangtze River and the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, he killed Han Lin'er, ascended the throne as emperor, and established the Ming Dynasty.

Although Zhou Lang has not yet had the Northern Expedition, he already has the power of the Northern Expedition, and he is just repairing.

Wang Fuqian felt that the time had come to establish a righteous name, in the past he was the most fierce opponent of the emperor, and now he is also the most active in presiding over the enthronement.

In Wang Fuqian's place, ascending the throne and becoming the emperor is the top priority, but here Zhou Lang is only the last thing on the list, not because Zhou Lang doesn't pay attention to it, but because he is not familiar with it, this is not his job.

He can only play one actor, Wang Fuqian is the director, and he invited a large number of old scholars who are proficient in etiquette, which makes the procedure very complicated.

The first thing to do is to sacrifice heaven and earth, fortunately, when Zhu Yuanzhang set Nanjing Dingding, he was still more frugal, Nanjing's Temple of Heaven is different from Beijing's, the heavens, earth, mountains, rivers, sun and moon are all sacrificed in a pile, called the joint sacrifice, the provincial Zhoulang Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth have been sacrificed many times.

The place of worship is also the Nanjing Temple of Heaven built by Zhu Yuanzhang that year, which is not as large as the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, but there should be everything, there are hills and altars, mountains and waters. And it didn't do anything to be destroyed, after all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had no reason to destroy, it was too unlucky. was really destroyed, in fact, during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, when Hong Xiuquan and his princes, in order to build a palace for themselves, even the palace built by Zhu Yuanzhang in Nanjing was demolished, and later Zeng Guofan demolished Hong Xiuquan's Tianwang Palace and raised horses in situ. In modern times, the modernization construction has been demolished again, and in the end, it is difficult to find even the relics, and only a bunch of place names are left to tell the history.

Zhou Lang was wearing a gorgeous dress made by Jiangning weaving, a crown, and a hot day, he tossed for a whole day, he was very hard, but seeing the excited appearance of a group of old Confucian scholars from all over the world, the old man was not tired, and Zhou Lang had no complaints.

After sacrificing heaven and earth, he also went to the Ming Tomb to worship Zhu Yuanzhang, burned the sky and sacrificed the watch, and told Zhu Yuanzhang that the reason why he raised troops was because the Manchu Qing Dynasty made the people miserable in the world, greedy officials and corrupt officials were rampant, the world was in chaos, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was exhausted, so Zhou Lang had to obey the people's orders from heaven, raise troops to pacify the Central Plains, and save the people of Li from fire and water.

In fact, Zhou Lang does not agree so much with Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor, as for his harshness to officials, his salary is low, he is not allowed to be corrupt, and he is high-pressure to control corruption, and some Qing officials who are officials in other places have not even had the money to go home, and even committed suicide with their families, Zhou Lang has no criticism of this, which can only say that Zhu Yuanzhang's business philosophy is problematic, and at the same time, there is no competition, and no one digs his talents, so he does not pay attention to talents. In Zhou Lang's view, it is a group of good partners who start a business together, and in the end they go public, but they don't want to share the shares of these people.

This is the difference between a tyrant and a businessman, in the eyes of a tyrant, power and the world are inseparable, but in the eyes of a businessman, wealth can be shared. It's not about who is right and who is wrong, it's just that the worldview is different.

Although Zhou Lang did not agree with Zhu Yuanzhang because of the different cultures and world views, he still honestly went to the Ming Tomb to worship Lao Zhu, because Wang Fuqian said that he had to pull a inheritance, Zhou Lang's anti-Qing Dynasty was to restore the country, and of course it was the country of the Ming Dynasty, so he had to take Zhu Yuanzhang as his ancestor, otherwise there would be no name. Or in the future, after the success of the Northern Expedition, you can go to worship the imperial tombs of the Manchu Dynasty. Back then, Dolgon sacrificed to Chongzhen.

Between the sacrifice of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the sacrifice of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhou Lang felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was more worthy of recognition, at least the descendants of the old Zhu family, although most of them were more mavericks, some were in front of the emperor, but they felt that they were majestic generalissimos, and they were canonized as generalissimos, some were in front of the emperor, and they liked carpenter work, some good women did not go to court, and some wore Taoist robes to alchemy all day long, but in general, with Chongzhen's death, there was no loss in terms of integrity. After Wen Tianxiang and other ministers of the kingdom in the Song Dynasty, he did not disgrace the nation.

Sacrificing Zhu Yuanzhang, burning a piece of paper, you can do it all day.

After doing these things, we just finished the preparations and told Heaven and Earth, Sun and Moon and Lao Zhu that we are going to be emperors.

Then he showed people that he was really going to be the emperor.

The location was chosen in the Ming Palace this time, and it cannot be called the Forbidden City, because this is Zhou Lang's palace in the future, and he is sure that he will set the capital in Nanjing.

At least in the future, there will be no need to divert water from the south.

The enthronement ceremony is also extremely cumbersome, and it seems that it is not enough, which is not enough to show the majesty of imperial power.

The drums sounded in unison, the 100,000 army was the guard of honor, accompanied by hundreds of civil and military officials, Zhou Lang walked in from the public gate, walked to the main hall, and sat on the dragon chair.

At this time, the ministers knelt down to congratulate, knelt three times and kowtowed, all of the same.

But kowtowing is not over yet, the following is the program that everyone is most looking forward to:

Great Seal Hero!

Zhou Lang restored the ancient prime minister system and named Wang Fuqian as the prime minister of the current dynasty.

Other civil and military officials were also canonized one by one, and the enthronement ceremony was completed at this point.
