Coming out of the Qianqing Gate, the British ministers and other foreign ministers all said goodbye and left, except for Huang Jiashan, the secretary of the military department, because today it was his turn to stay in Ciqing Palace with Li Ruhua, the secretary of the household department.

Back in Ciqing Palace, Huang Jiashan threw out the question that had been lingering in his mind, "Your Highness has twenty-six guards and pro-army, and you also select officers and soldiers from the Beijing camp. ”

"It doesn't hurt to tell Your Excellency, these 200 people are for a person named Sun Chengzong." Ye Xiang smiled, "However, I haven't seen this person, I've only heard of it." ”

When Li Ruhua heard that Sun Chengzong was mentioned, he interjected, "Your Highness, the old minister was ordered by the temple to be the official of the temple last year, and he happened to know a person named Sun Chuanting, I don't know if it is the same person as His Highness said. ”

Li Ruhua, whose name is Maofu, is 72 years old. I saw that his face was thin, with a goatee, and he was wearing 'plain clothes' according to the funeral rites.

Plain clothes, the regular clothes of the funeral in the Ming Dynasty, the regulation is that the wings of the black gauze hat are folded and covered with white cloth, wearing a round-necked all-black robe, no complements, waist tied with a waist woven of cooked linen, and pedal linen shoes.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were many fierce people, in terms of military affairs, there were Sun Chengzong, Zuo Liangyu, Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Chuanting, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, etc., compared to the self-hanging martyrdom of the emperor Sun Chengzong, Ye Xiang admired Sun Chuanting who died on the battlefield, he was the second person Ye Xiang wanted to use when he came to this time and space.

"History of the Ming Dynasty, Biography 150" highly praises it with "the death of the court and the death of the Ming Dynasty", although it is somewhat exaggerated, two points can be deduced from it, first, he was still young at this time; Second, the war was fierce, which made him want to reuse Sun Chuanting's reason, which was simple and rude.

If he hadn't participated in the palace test at this time, Ye Xiang would still want to use the Jinyi Guard, but he didn't expect it to take no effort, so he asked anxiously, "Your Excellency Li, quickly, you tell me about his situation in detail." ”

Ye Xiang is calling himself the palace when he is holding the shelf, but this title is too awkward, and it is replaced by the common 'me' in a hurry, Li Ruhua seems to feel Ye Xiang's urgency, so he recalled, "The old minister doesn't know much about it, last year he didn't take the temple test, and the temple took 'how to make the law establish without violating the order, do it without violating the discipline, and the customs are pure to restore the old of my ancestors." 'Ask the world's tributes. Although Sun Chuanting's test papers are not outstanding, they are also quite insightful, and they agree with the old ministers. ”

"Hey, I didn't say it, so how old is he? Where is it now? ”

"Your Royal Highness, don't worry, Sun Chuanting was awarded the order of Yongcheng County, Henan, and is now in office, although his performance is not dazzling, but since he arrived last year, Tian Fu has been handed over in full, which is rare in the country. He is now less than thirty years old, and if he is cultivated, there will be a successor to him. I don't know why His Royal Highness attaches so much importance to this person, and he is a civilian official, and he has never commanded the army, so let him stay in the local area, and the daily command of the army is a matter for the military attaché, and it is not in harmony with the system. ”

Ye Xiang just wanted to use Sun Chuanting to use the new training methods of later generations to train a group of grassroots backbone-non-commissioned officers, and as for the military academy for training officers, it would not be too late to open it after the modern military organizational structure was formed.

Ye Xiang wants to pass through these people, and he can turn two hundred into two thousand, into twenty or two million. As for the current military system of the guard post and the recruitment system of regimental training, it must also be reformed, but this is not a one-day work, and it must be done gradually.

Ye Xiang hadn't opened his mouth to explain, but Huang Jiashan saw that Li Ruhua had the intention of prevarication, and teased, "Brother Maofu, why can't I use literature to control martial arts." You value his ability to govern the local area, but now that the situation in Liaozuo is getting worse, it is the time to employ people, so you don't just stare at that bit of silver. ”

Li Ruhua was anxious, "What do you mean by staring at that bit of silver, there is a deficit every year, you are not in a hurry, but all the yamen are looking for the household department to ask for silver, you give it?" It's really not a good home, I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. Don't say anything about it, just say Liaozuo Xiong Tingbi, he has asked him to pay the salary several times, and if there is no silver, something will happen. Finally, there was a cadre who governed the place, so he pulled it to the military department, and you should be in charge of this household department. ”

"Eh, look, I'm anxious again, I didn't say anything. His Royal Highness just asked for a person, and he didn't say that he would send it to the military department. Huang Jiashan was sloppy.

Li Ruhua said in his heart that the selection of 200 people from the Beijing camp was not a training exercise, so he rolled his eyes and said, "You, am I so fooled?" I don't know what to do. ”

"Okay, the two Excellencies are not young, so don't quarrel." Ye Xiang hurriedly stopped, "Your Excellency Huang mentioned the household dilemma before, I will find a way." This Sun Chuanting, let's let him come to train the army, 200 people, although there are not many, but I want young and literate people, but I am afraid that the Beijing camp will not be able to make it up. ”

Huang and Li have worked together for many years, often quarreling over official matters, but it has not affected their personal friendship, seeing Ye Xiang's worries, as if what happened just now did not happen. Although Li Ruhua felt that it was a pity, he also knew that military affairs were also important, since the prince valued it, he could not stop Sun Chuanting's future, so he made suggestions, "I don't know how His Royal Highness wants to train the army, the old minister has been in charge of the army, and he has also heard about it." As for the source of soldiers, they can be recruited from all over the world. I am full of talents, not to mention far away, in Beijing, there are countless honors, can't hundreds of literate young people make up it? ”

Ye Xiang didn't have a clear understanding of whose interests he would protect, but he knew that this opportunity was even more rare for civilian students, so he objected, "No, forget it." If Jingying really doesn't have enough to make up, let's select those young people from the cold family who are willing to put pen to paper. ”

Under the Ming Dynasty, there was a strict distinction between all walks of life, and the common people could only farm or do business, military households could only be soldiers, and medical households and craftsmen could only engage in ancestral occupations. Ye Xiang also wants to take this opportunity to break this kind of household registration discrimination, so as to achieve the purpose of promoting population circulation and developing business.

This is just a discussion, and whether it can be implemented depends on whether Zhang Weixian can select people from Beijing. In a few days, this is the holy will, even if you want to oppose it, it is the responsibility of the Taoist official, you just need to bury your head in the work, not to mention that there are only a few hundred people in this matter, and the movement is too small, maybe it is just a whim of this new master. Huang and Li had no reason to object, so they got up and said goodbye and went to the duty room outside Ciqing Palace to stand by.

After Ye Xiang saw the two of them leaving, he took Wang An and Wang Chengen to Dongnuan Pavilion, and soon after sitting down, he saw Shen Yin running in with great interest. It seems that he already knows that Ye Xiang asked him to participate in the affairs of the East Factory, and this is because he is grateful and to listen to the holy will.

Shen Yin and Wang Chengen are about the same age, both in their early 40s. He has changed into a decrepit coat, which is a sackcloth filial piety robe. On his head is a three-mountain hat wrapped in white cloth, wearing a gray linen collared filial piety robe, a tunic waist, and linen shoes.

The three-mountain hat is the official hat of the eunuch, which is different from the black gauze hat. It is made of bamboo silk woven into a hat tire, covered with black crepe, the two ends of the back mountain of the hat are sharp, the middle is slightly concave, and the shape is like a steel fork. For details, please refer to Wanli's "Map of Entering the Police".

Shen Yin presented an excerpt and said, "Your Highness, this is an excerpt sent by the officials, please take a look." ”

Ye Xiang saw Shen Yin looking at him like a second fool, he was a little unhappy, and raised the fold he had taken and asked, "How did this come to you?" ”

"Oh, just the slave maid was trying to come to thank her, and she didn't want to run into the clerical office Ji Gonggong to deliver the excerpt, so she took the initiative to ask for it." Shen Yin still thought of a hippie smile, knelt down and kowtowed, "Slave and maid thank Your Highness for your promotion, and after you arrive in Dongchang, you must be a good minion for Your Highness and share your worries for Your Highness." ”

This is the truth, but why does it sound so unpleasant, Ye Xiang frowned, and took advantage of the topic to play, "Put this aside for the time being, you go and call Ji Lun back first." ”

The normal way is to hand it over to the celebrant after receiving it in the clerical room, but Ji Lun handed it to someone close to Zhu Youxiao, although it will not be bad, but it will break the rules. If you have other people you trust in the future, won't you intercept them halfway and block the way of speech? Therefore, this wind cannot be long.

When Shen Yin came back with Ji Lun, Ye Xiang said to Wang Chengen, "You go and supervise, let them do squats until they figure out why." ”

It is estimated that Wang Chengen didn't understand what squatting was, so Zhu Ya patiently explained to him, and then picked up the fold and looked at it. The official was appointed and dismissed, and the officials proposed to promote Wang Dewan to the right of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Meng Yanghao to be the Imperial History of the Right Governor of the Nanjing Imperial Procuratorate. Ye Xiang didn't know why, so he naturally asked Wang An to explain the trick.

The Ming Dynasty had the same administrative structure in Nanjing, the capital of Beijing, with the same ranks, but far less power than Beijing. The six departments of Nanjing mainly governed Nanzhili, that is, the area of Jiangsu and Anhui provinces and Shanghai in the later period. Nanzhili does not have three divisions (the political division, according to the judicial division, and the command division), and the affairs are managed by six departments, because Nanzhili is at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and it is a major grain-producing province, so the six departments are particularly weighted by households and soldiers.

The other is the appointment and dismissal of officials, all the appointment and dismissal of officials in the Ming Dynasty are decided by the emperor alone, and the officials have no rights, but only as a specific office. The promotion, demotion, honor, and disgrace of officials depend only on the emperor alone, so there will be a scene of the impeachment of the cabinet chief assistant in the morning. In this way, the power is concentrated, but it invisibly increases the workload of the emperor, and it must be appropriately delegated. But how to put it and how much to put it has become a problem that Ye Xiang is about to face.

Ye Xiang didn't want to be led by the nose below, thinking that he was not in a hurry to make a decision now, so he handed over the fold to Wang An and sent it back to the celebrant supervisor.

Not long after, Wang Chengen walked over with Shen Yin and Ji Lun, who were sweating profusely, and replied, "Your Highness, the two of them already know that they are wrong. ”

"Oh, let's hear it."

Ji Lun said, "It's the slave who forgot the rules, and in the future, the folds in the clerical room must be presented according to the rules, and they will no longer fake the hands of others." ”

Shen Yin also said, "The slave knows that it is wrong, please calm your anger." ”

"Ji Lun, you go get busy first, remember not to take an example. If you commit it again, it's not as simple as squatting. Ye Xiang waved his hand, and after Ji Lun left, he said to Shen Yin, "You can get up too." Let you go to Dongchang, not let you fight for power with Zou Yi. ”

"The slave and maid understand, the slave and maid must see, ask more, learn more, and understand the operation of the East Factory."

Ye Xiang nodded, "Count yourself smart, don't interfere in the case of Dongchang." After you understand the affairs of the East Factory, I will tell you what to do. ”

"The slave understands." Shen Yin saw that Ye Xiang was not really annoyed, so he licked his face and said, "Your Highness, Gonggong Wei, the steward of the Qianqing Palace, wants to ask to see him, you see?" ”
