Chapter 131: Kaienke and the Formation of the New Army
"Suzi, how are the preparations of the Lifan Academy now?" Jiang Chuan saw Su Qin coming over and asked with a smile.
"The minister came here this time to report to the prince on the progress of the preparation of the Imperial Academy." Su Qin said.
Jiang Chuan waved his hand, signaling Su Qin not to be polite, and sat down and said.
After sitting down, a maid brought in two cups of tea, placed them in front of Jiang Chuan and Su Qin respectively, and quietly retreated.
After Su Qin sat down, he reported the preparatory process of the Li Fan Academy to Jiang Chuan.
The two talked about some more details.
"Suzi, this king believes in the mission of the Imperial Academy, and you know it very well now. If you need any support, just ask. This king fully supports. β
After the two finished speaking, Jiang Chuan gave another solemn advice
Su Qin nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness's meaning is very clear, and you will definitely not live up to Your Highness's expectations, but Your Highness attaches so much importance to the so-called English Empire, isn't it too ......?"
Although Su Qin's words were not finished, Jiang Chuan understood what he meant.
He shook his head first, then nodded, and said with a serious face: "Although I don't have much information at present, judging from the limited information at present, this English Empire must be the most powerful enemy we face."
I don't know how big this world is, but I've heard the name of the English Empire from too many sources. Therefore, it cannot be overstated.
And now we are in such a state of enemy on all sides, if this behemoth also has a desire to covet the land beneath our feet, it will be a real trouble.
Therefore, we must now put an end to the current chaos as soon as possible, so that we can free up our hands and concentrate on guarding against this behemoth.
And as far as I know, this behemoth is very aggressive. So now I just hope that we don't get too fast with it, so that we also have some chance to accumulate strength. β
Seeing that Jiang Chuan was so solemn, Su Qin didn't ask any more.
After Su Qin finished speaking, he was about to say goodbye, but Jiang Chuan stopped him again and told Su Qin that the royal family wanted to marry Princess Ruoling to him.
And also said that he let Princess Ruoling serve as a maid by his side. After all, Su Qin is still the long history of his own palace, which is also a respect for Su Qin, and I also want to hear his opinion.
After hearing this, Su Qin was not surprised, smiled slightly, and said, "As His Highness said, the royal family wants to protect itself, this is indeed a stupid way. However, if the lord can marry Princess Ruoling, it will also be of some help to win over the hearts of those old courtiers. As for the lord, he was worried about whether there would be some negative effects when he reached the summit in the future, and he thought that there was no need to worry. After all, if the lord was worried about gossip in the government and the opposition, it would not be where it is today. β
Su Qin's words made Jiang Chuan stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that he laughed.
Su Qin's meaning is very clear, in the face of absolute strength, no gossip is enough to fear.
If Jiang Chuan was worried about this and that, then he would not be the regent of the world now.
After all, he didn't think about it so much when he forced the palace.
"Su Zi's words woke up the dreamer!" Egawa laughed.
After Su Qin left, not long after, Liu Ji and Xia Junze, the first assistant of the cabinet, came together.
The things that the two of them want to report are the things that Kaienke has to do this autumn and the things that have been organized and trained in the new army.
Jiang Chuan executed a large number of officials when he first entered the capital, and coupled with various changes, many positions in the imperial court are now vacant.
Moreover, in addition to some newly established yamen, such as the City Administration Bureau and the Lifan Yuan, there is a very large shortage of talents, so Jiang Chuan plans to open an Enke in the autumn in order to replenish talents for the imperial court.
Although there were also some candidates in the Hanlin Academy who did not confer official titles, Jiang Chuan completely lost interest in these people after coming into contact with them.
Because most of these people are under the influence of the Eight Stocks, most of them have become stupid and corrupt.
When it comes to the main truth, it is the truth, but it is ignorant of practice.
Moreover, many people stick to the old ways and do not have much enterprising spirit at all, and the policies they talk about to enrich the country and strengthen the people are all clichΓ©s. There is nothing new about it.
This made Jiang Chuan feel very disappointed, so he had the idea of opening an enke in the autumn.
Originally, the imperial examination was held once every three years, and Enke held a separate imperial examination outside of this triennial convention.
Because it is an exception, it is called Enco.
"Elder Xia Ge, tell me how Enke's preparations are going?" Jiang Chuan looked at Xia Junze in front of him and asked.
Xia Junze first glanced at Liu Ji next to him, and saw that Liu Ji didn't mean to speak, so he spoke: "Inform Your Highness, the official document of Enke held in October has been sent to all parts of Gyeonggi and Liaodong and Qingzhou provinces, and the minister also strictly ordered all prefectures and counties to post notices as soon as possible, so that all scholars in all provinces know the news."
However, the minister still has some worries, afraid of living up to His Highness's expectations. β
Jiang Chuan understood where Xia Junze's worries were.
After all, the world is still in a state of division and war.
Before these recovered provinces, except for Liaodong, they were all occupied and poisoned by the Dashun army, and many scholars fled one after another. Many people were killed in the war or were coerced by the Dashun army.
The number of people who can rest is estimated to be less than half or even less.
The land of Liaodong was originally occupied by the Manchu Qing Tartars, and now although it has been recovered and has become the foundation of Jiangchuan, it is still in the recovery period after all, and there are not many scholars who can come to participate.
The limited number of scholars had already been sent by Jiang Chuan to work in various yamen in Liaodong, and it was impossible for any idlers to come to the capital to participate in Enke.
Jiang Chuan smiled and said with relief: "Elder Xia Ge doesn't have to worry too much, no matter how many people come to Enke this year, it will be held as usual." Although the world looks chaotic now, this king assures you that it will not be long before it will be calm. In fact, this year's King Nkoben does not hope to get many useful people, so let's just think of it as a test. β
Xia Junzhe nodded, and his expression was a little more relaxed.
Since Jiang Chuan said so, he didn't worry too much.
He found that working under Jiang Chuan, although there were a lot of things, but his heart was happy.
Many of Jiang Chuan's practices are very different from the emperor's practices.
has a more thorough view of many things than him, a veteran who has been in officialdom for decades, and has a more long-term vision, which makes him admire Jiang Chuan more and more.
If he was afraid of Jiang Chuan at the beginning, now he is in awe. Fear is preceded by a reverence.
After Xia Junze finished talking about Enke, Liu Ji began to tell Jiang Chuan about the formation and training of the new army.
Organizing and training the new army, Jiang Chuan actually had this idea from the time he entered Beijing.
The original Beijing camp and local health center system in the Ming Dynasty have basically collapsed.
The soldiers in the guards have basically all become peasants, and there is no fighting power at all, and the soldiers have fled seriously, and many of the guards have even fled completely, so it can be said that the system has completely collapsed.
And the soldiers of the Beijing camp are also completely useless, so Jiang Chuan has already set the task of reorganizing and training the new army.
