Chapter 541: Claiming the King Plain System Memories
Jiang Feng's claim to the throne in Huazhou, except for the procedure of not giving in three times, the rest of the ceremonies were complete, but they lacked the expected passion.
Everything is going according to plan, in the expectation of Liu Twelve, Zhao Xiucai and Liu Shunhua, Jiang Feng is king, and there will be some people loyal to the Ming Dynasty who will react to it, it should be to return to the Ming Dynasty, or write an article to scold or something.
There are also some vested interests who will be very happy, because Jiang Feng's title to the king is also a chance for the people below them to continue to rise.
However, these people were wrong, and all of them reacted very flatly, although there were literati and 'representatives of the people' who praised and eulogized spontaneously or unspontaneously, but in general, the army and people under Jiang Feng's command did not have the expected eagerness and surprise.
Everyone seemed to be experiencing a small thing to accept the fact that Jiang Feng claimed to be the king of Hua, which was actually the reaction of Jiang Feng when these people were ready to persuade Jiang Feng to be the king, and he said very unceremoniously at that time, I was originally the king, and I deserved it in this position, where can I still use any humility, doesn't that mean that I am not qualified enough.
The people's hearts are similar to what Jiang Feng expected, everyone has long thought that Jiang Feng is the prince, there is such a joke in the fifth town of Huazhou, the door of the town government is lit up with lights, firecrackers are sounded, many people are onlookers in the past, and an old man is quite puzzled and asked:
"Today is not a solar term, why is this celebration?"
They are all local people, and the official will not take any of the factions in the yamen, not to mention that the rules of Huazhou and Daming are quite different, and the official leader who presided over the celebration at the door said politely:
"Our Lord Jiang, the governor of Huazhou, has ascended to the throne and is called King Hua, which is a great joy!"
After saying this, the old man was even more puzzled, and in his heart, it was not until Jiang Feng was the highest leader in Huazhou, and it was not easy to talk about it in public, so he just came to the side of the leader of the official errand, and said cautiously:
"Isn't Lord Jiang already the king of Huazhou? Why did you say that you only became a person today!? ”
“……”
Such reactions can be said to be everywhere, which makes a cadre of literati quite depressed, thinking that this matter can earn a great credit in front of Jiang Feng, but he didn't expect that a punch would be in the air, completely useless.
The officials of the Joseon royal family and the line of Baishanjun Li Rengong all took the initiative to ask to resign from the throne and the title of nobleman and civil and military official, because Baishanjun Li Rengong has always been deferential to Huazhou and Jiangfeng, and Huazhou has also made some compensation to them.
Although the power is gone, it is not too much of a loss, because these officials did not have any rights in the past, at best, there is some money and wealth in the family, these years Huazhou as their emperor, they are at best a name, but those who cooperate happily with Huazhou will always have some business power, as long as they are under the protection of the Huazhou system fleet, then there is no reason not to get rich.
These nobles and officials who are obedient to Huazhou in North Korea have made a small fortune in recent years, compared with the time when the local lord in the past, carefully calculated, but still make more money, Baishan Jun Li Rengong as the most valued spokesman for North Korea, plus in the past when he controlled the government in North Korea, he also accumulated a lot of belongings, has capital, has a way, and the money is even more prosperous.
At this time, Li Rengong's money was at the top of the ranks, even among the wealthy Han merchants in Huazhou, and as for the king of North Korea, he was Li Rengong's little grandson, and he just took it home, and it was not bad to have a mouth, and the small court of the Li family in North Korea disappeared in the twenty-first year of Jiajing so silently.
Even the Koreans on the Korean Peninsula were indifferent to this news, they were used to the days without that small court, and the handling of Huazhou was not like the change of Han and Wei, or some other Zen concessions, to engage in those unnecessary procedures.
To seal the former person as a marquis to ensure that he is rich and clothed, for Jiang Feng, this is not a Zen concession at all, nor is it a usurpation. The small court of North Korea is not standing on the same level as him at all, it is too far away, for him, abolishing the Korean royal family is the same as ordering Liu Shunhua to cancel the position of a town guard, and there is no need to think too much.
Huazhou's official system can even be said to be concise, if it weren't for the reminders of Liu Twelve and Liu Shunhua, he would not even be willing to change the previous official system.
There are two sets of civil and military systems under King Hua, the first civil official is the minister of state, and the minister of state is set up under the four positions of Si Nong, Si Hu, Si Gong, and Li Fan, and in terms of the army, the Governor's Mansion is still retained, but the following is more refined, and five garrisons and general regiment training envoys have been set up.
The above is just a simple structure, Jiang Feng doesn't want to be too responsible for the organizational structure under his command at this time.
In fact, the so-called Si Nong, Si Gong, Si Hu, and Li Fan's structure are not fundamentally different from the six departments of the Ming Cabinet, and even if it is the Jinyiwei and Dongchang of the Ming Dynasty, they can also find institutions like Sima Zhi and the pro-military camp in Huazhou, but the civil and military political systems in Huazhou are much more efficient than the Ming Dynasty, and the reason is that the high salary and the supervision of the harsh law give these people motivation and let them work hard, and the harsh law gives these people a deterrent and let them know that they do not exceed the rules.
And the composition of the personnel is very different, unlike the Ming Dynasty, which was all produced by the imperial examination, many of the officials in Huazhou are skilled people who can read the written language, such as craftsmen, tents, masters, and small merchants, these people are more pragmatic and practical than those bureaucrats who just talk about articles.
There are also naturalized Dutch people under the bureaucracy in Huazhou, and these people also have a certain share of the official list because of their relatively high level of education.
But the focus of historians is on that book, written by a Washington official who returned to the Netherlands, "Looking Up to the Emperor, My Days in Huazhou"
