Zhang Chu always had a dream in his heart, that is, to eliminate the threat of the Japanese state to the Chinese nation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he didn't have a chance in his previous life. Now that he has unified the country, he will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

After a few years of conquest, Zhang Chu had matured and understood the need to be well prepared, so he set about stabilizing the newly established Chinese Empire. In the palace, Li Mei naturally became the queen of the main palace, plus Yue Yue and the eldest princess Wuliangha, Zhang Chu did not want to add other women for the time being. The only thing special is that the Mongols who still live outside the walls of the Naturalized City still need his appeasement. Yue Yue is busy every day in order to establish a national financial system. Although Zhang Chu is now working in the palace, he is in and out every day, and he does not confine himself in the palace. His ministers were accustomed to Zhang Chu's arbitrariness and did not feel that there was anything wrong with Zhang Chu's approach. The old ministers of the previous dynasty were still in the period of observing the direction of the wind, and no one dared to speak much.

When the new dynasty was established, the first thing Zhang Chu did was to immediately open Enke and open a branch to take scholars. Although there are not many scholars in society today, their energy is not small, and if they are not led to the right path through effective channels, they will stir up trouble and disrupt the social order below.

When the news of the opening of the new dynasty came, the hearts of the scholars all over the world relaxed. It seems that this thief-born emperor is still inseparable from scholars, and Zhang Chu has also added a lot of benefits to scholars in this imperial examination, not only extending the examinations of various state capitals at the bottom of the old system at the same time, but also producing a large number of new talents at the same time, and then producing a large number of new Jinshi with gold list titles through the examination and the palace examination.

Zhang Chu also announced that in order to sympathize with the scholars who were in distress due to the war, this time not only would they arrange for the Jinshi to serve in the Hanlin Academy and various departments, but also that some scholars who were not selected would also be arranged to work in the yamen or schools in various places, so that they could prepare for the next imperial examination while working.

The first imperial examination of the Chinese Empire came to a successful conclusion, and most of the scholars in the country were elated. As long as those with a modicum of knowledge are assigned jobs, they can receive a salary to support their families, and they also have a respectable status. This made the literati of the whole country very satisfied, and felt that this world was still the world of scholars, and the Ming Dynasty died, but his Zhu family was not virtuous and wanted to lose the world, and they had nothing to do with these scholars.

Soon after the completion of the imperial examination, Zhang Chu promulgated two important laws, the Commercial Law and the Tax Law. The promulgation of these two laws has relieved the majority of businesses. Many of the businessmen who supported Zhang Chu had promised to improve the status of the businessmen in society. Whether this promise can be fulfilled is what businessmen are most worried about, and now Zhang Chu is sure to do what he says and stipulates a large number of systems for the protection of industry and commerce in the "Commercial Law", and a relatively low tax rate is stipulated in the "Tax Law", which makes the industrial and commercial households put it down, and it is not wrong to support Zhang Chu later.

Not much attention has been paid to the unusually severe penalties for tax evasion stipulated in the Tax Law. Everyone thinks that such a low tax rate and tax evasion is unconscionable. And it is normal for the new emperor to be wary for many years and give some stern orders. As for the "Tax Law" to expand the object of tax collection to all people, of course, the new magnates who followed Zhang Chu could not go against Zhang Chu, the original privileged figures were lucky that they were not liquidated, and those scholars with meritorious names had just obtained the benefits of the emperor, and it was not good to go against them now. Therefore, the opposition is very small.

The nationwide affair was over, and Zhang Chu reduced the army, leaving only those who were most loyal to him. The military factories provided them with more sophisticated weapons, so that their combat effectiveness was not reduced by the decrease in numbers.

At a time when the country's finances were still very difficult, Zhang Chu squeezed out money to start building primary and secondary schools in various places, and set up several comprehensive halls in Beijing. Although there was still a shortage of teachers at this time, Zhang Chu still opened new courses in schools at all levels. And through the "Zhongyang Daily" released the grapevine, in next year's imperial examination will be tested a large amount of scientific knowledge.

A large number of retired military personnel have been placed in newly established police stations in various places. The police are responsible for local security and the investigation of cases, and their money and food are still distributed by the central government, and have nothing to do with the local government.

The police are only responsible for investigating and handling cases, and the final justice of the cases must be handed over to the procuratorate and the court at the same level. The courts have been expanded to include specialized courts for minor offences and criminal and civil cases. The independence of the court and the procuratorate has been in the security forces for some time, and this time Zhang Chu has given them more material support.

The people of the Chinese Empire did not bother to care about Zhang Chu's changes in the structure of the court. They have not yet completely freed themselves from the fear of years of famine. They are more concerned about being able to eat.

In terms of letting everyone eat, the people were still very satisfied with the new dynasty, and some of the Ming vassal kings and magnates who were willing to be powerful were deprived of all their property and land. On the land they had previously occupied, state-run farms were set up, which employed factories on better terms than the landlords' families. At the same time, Zhang Chu clearly stipulated the upper limit of land rent and interest, and severely punished all usury and land leased with high land rent. The large number of workers recruited on the country's farms forced the landlords to raise the wages of their employees, or they would face the dilemma of having no work to remember. The newly opened factories and mines also absorbed some of the labor, so that most people had jobs to do and could earn a living wage.

Zhang Chu was busy every day, and he realized that being an emperor was not a very easy task. When Emperor Chongzhen's grade was white, the accuracy was not without reason. Zhang Chu didn't want to end up like Emperor Chongzhen.

Zhang Chu racked his brains to recall some of the government's practices in the future, and then brought Zhu Jishi to the two to discuss how to reform the original one. Zhang Chu does not want to make more changes to the existing system. If it's too aggressive, it will go wrong. So they focused on how to improve efficiency. In the end, Zhang Chu delegated his powers and divided the ministers into different departments, and the heads of the various ministries within the department had the right to decide. Major matters will be discussed by the cabinet composed of Zhu Jishi and several others, and the results of the discussion will be reported to Zhang Chu for a final decision.

Under the leadership of Zhang Chu, the new Chinese empire was constantly improving, filling in all kinds of loopholes. Finally, the people lived a stable life, although the officials were constrained by the rules and regulations that Zhang Chu thought of, but they received a much higher salary than in the Ming Dynasty, and everyone was quite satisfied with the current life.

Zhang Chu was finally freed from trivial matters and had more time and energy for private exercises. Zhang Chu's exercise effect is very significant. There is good news from the harem that Li Mei is pregnant. (To be continued.) )
