"Queen Mother, Erchen is gone!" Lin Ye is only nine years old this year, and he has not yet developed, compared with Lin Xuan, who is already fourteen years old, the height gap between the two is very large.

Moreover, Lin Xuan's body was a little fat, and after kneeling and bowing, he even stood up a little trembling, as if he was about to fall.

Chen Jing, who was sitting on it, looked at her son who went out, but she didn't say anything, but her eyes were a little red, the child was still so young, and she had to leave herself to live independently, which made her feel at ease as a mother.

After watching his son walk away, Chen Jingcai recruited the female official beside him: "Ye'er, you have to take a look over there, and send a few more capable people over to listen to it!" ”

The female official next to her said: "Back to Niangniang, I know ......"

In order to prevent the concubines of the harem from interfering with the princes of the prince's office, so as not to cause tragedies such as poisoning, and also to prevent the young prince from being bullied, he decided that the people around the princes living in the prince's house must be approved by him.

However, the prince's concubines can choose their trusted maids and female officials to move with the prince to the prince's office.

Strictly speaking, the queen is the lord of the harem and has the right to decide the affairs of the palace house, but if Lin Zhe wants to intervene, no one dares to say a word.

The maids and others around the three princes are basically transferred by their respective mothers and concubines from the people around them, this son is their life, it is everything, and basically the most powerful and trusted female officials will be sent to the prince's side.

However, Lin Zhe still arranged for the palace intelligence department to conduct a background review of these selected people, and only after passing the review could they go to the prince's office.

There are also a lot of spies in this harem, although the imperial court seems to be stable on the surface, but there is no shortage of various intrigues, and even some influence, as evidenced by the Queen Mother's involvement in the affairs of the prince.

Lin Zhe was really angry. It is not easy for him to deal with the Queen Mother directly, but the female officials and maids around the Queen Mother have all been cleaned up by Lin Zhe, and there are not a few who have been directly killed by the palace intelligence.

Now it is reasonable to conduct a background investigation of the people around the prince.

After the prince moved to the prince's office, Lin Zhe stipulated that the prince was after school every day. They all need to go to the Xinhua Hall to ask for peace, and the reason why they do not go to the Huaren Hall where they live to ask for peace, but to ask for peace in the Xinhua Palace, is to let the princes get in touch with the political atmosphere in advance.

This is because I am afraid that the younger prince will be bullied by those maids, and if I can see it every day, I can always know whether the child is fat or suffered.

It's just that this is not over, not long after the three princes moved into the prince's office, when Lin Zhe went to Pingrentang to check their homework in March, the eldest son Lin Yan was quite satisfied with his homework. He was specially allowed to observe the meetings of the Imperial Cabinet in the future.

This move was Lin Zhe's established policy on the education of the prince, this play with politics, it is naturally to be cultivated from an early age, and there is no way to be too young, but after the age of fourteen, the prince has basically begun to contact ordinary people's university courses, such as international relations, national defense economics, and the like.

The education of the prince and the education of ordinary people are very different. Many of the things they learn are macro-oriented, and what they need to learn is what a country needs for development. But it's not about learning the specifics.

For example, for scientific research, they only need to know that scientific research is the foundation of industrial progress, and it is enough to support scientific research, and as for how to do experiments and do research, that is what scientists should do.

Now let's start attending some cabinet meetings. Lin Zhe believes that it can also effectively increase their macro vision of military affairs.

When Lin Zhe appeared in the conference room with Lin Xuan in late March, the cabinet ministers were stunned!

However, Lin Zhe didn't care about them, he turned to Lin Zhen and said, "Sit in the back, just listen and don't talk!" ”

Lin Yan nodded yes!

Then this half-sized son followed Lin Zhe into the conference room. Then he went to a chair on Lin Zhe's left hand side and sat down.

At this time, the officials in the conference room have not yet reacted!

What's going on?

Why would His Majesty suddenly bring the Great Prince to the meeting? This has never happened before.

Could it be that Your Majesty is preparing to determine the candidate for the crown prince?

But even if there were more questions in their hearts, Lin Zhe didn't say anything, they didn't dare to say anything, so they could only start the meeting with a stomach full of questions.

The theme of today's meeting is the main problem of the Empire in recent years, that is, the question of industrial development.

"Today we continue to discuss the matter of Lian Zhou Mansion!" Xue Huan seemed to ignore Lin Xuan, still sitting on the left side of the rectangular table, and started today's meeting first.

Like the previous imperial councils, Lin Zhe did not speak, did not discuss, or even make a decision most of the time, he only listened, waited for these ministers to argue on their own, and then came to a result.

If the result is satisfactory to Lin Zhe, Lin Zhe will approve it, and if he thinks it is not good, then he will reject it and let the courtiers continue to discuss.

If the courtiers have a dispute, the ministers will respectfully ask for the holy judgment, but at this time, Lin Zhe generally does not have a good face to show them.

Because this kind of behavior means forcing the emperor to express his position and pushing the problem onto the emperor, which is not the behavior of a good courtier.

It's the same today, Lin Zhe just sat on it and listened to the courtiers arguing.

The case of Lianzhou Mansion means that the Lianzhou Mansion is ready to be transferred from Guangdong to Guangxi, and the people who promote this matter are mainly from Guangxi, and then the local officials of Lianzhou Mansion are also actively promoting this matter.

As for Guangdong itself, it is a dispensable attitude.

Why?

First of all, Guangxi has no access to the sea, which has caused a great obstacle to Guangxi's economic development, in recent years, a large number of goods in Guangxi are through the Beihai Port of Lianzhou Prefecture, this port has become Guangxi's current participation in foreign trade, and even the first important port of domestic trade.

But this port is important to Guangxi, but it does not mean that it has the same role for Guangdong, Guangdong as a coastal province with a long coastline, has a large number of excellent coastal ports, the core port has Guangzhou, there is a newly developed Zhanjiang port in western Guangdong, and the port of Qiongzhou on Hainan Island still belongs to Guangdong. The eastern part of Guangdong has Chaoshan and other foreign trade ports.

Therefore, there is not much attention paid to the North Seaport, let alone investing heavily in its development.

In other words, the same port, but for Guangdong and for Guangxi, the importance of the two is very different.

That's why we have today's topic!

In order to be able to get an outlet to the sea. Guangxi has been public relations in advance for many months, and many high-ranking officials in the Guangxi provincial government are hovering in Beijing to promote this matter.

And at today's cabinet meeting, the final decision has been made.

After Xue Huan said it briefly, several other cabinet members also talked about the advantages and disadvantages, although there were opposition and approval, but on the whole, they still maintained more opinions, so this proposal was quickly passed!

Next, we talked about the expansion of Tianjin Beihai Industrial Zone. The Beihai Industrial Zone in Tianjin has been developed for many years, and as the largest industrial zone in the vast northern region, it has attracted many enterprises to invest, and the scale of the original industrial zone has been insufficient, and the Tianjin government has applied for expansion.

The Beihai Industrial Zone is the second largest industrial complex in the country, which is very important to the empire, so such a large-scale expansion must be approved by the central government.

This kind of thing is also a good thing, so it was unanimously approved by the cabinet.

Then there are other matters of internal affairs. Either through or without a consensus among the many ministers in the cabinet. So it's put on hold for the time being.

A cabinet meeting lasted for more than two hours.

It was the first time for Lin Zhen to observe such an important meeting, but his performance made Lin Zhe more satisfied, at least he was not impatient, he did not doze off, and he did not interject nonsense.

After a meeting. The news that Lin Xuan listened to the meeting of the imperial cabinet spread throughout the imperial officialdom and caused a lot of discussion.

However, for the time being, no one has the courage to ask Lin Zhe if he has decided to make Lin Zhen the crown prince.

In the inner court, after Queen Chen Jing heard the news, she was unhappy for several days, and the other concubines also talked about it.

And Lin Zhe naturally pretended not to hear all of these people's comments. If you don't let others do it, you can't still prohibit other people's private discussions, Lin Zhe is too lazy to care about this.

He usually has so many things, and he basically doesn't have any thoughts about some small things.

Compared with some intrigues in the inner court, Lin Zhe has always paid more attention to the development of military affairs, especially the domestic economic development and the development of the navy and army.

The country's economic development has always maintained a stable speed, although its overall economic development rate is not too high, but basically it can maintain an annual growth rate of about 7 or 8 percent, and if it is simply put into industry, its development speed is higher, can reach 30 percent, and even some industries can reach more than 50 percent.

It's just that the total economic volume of industry is still relatively small, and its growth rate is dragged down by the overall economic output of the empire.

Today's empire's economic development maintains a good momentum, and Lin Zhe is relatively relieved.

Diplomatically it is also relatively stable, except for some affairs on the Borneo side, everything else is basically calm.

It is worth noting that the civil war on the Japanese side also calmed down, and in the sixties, the two Japanese governments fought for many years, and in 1871, Emperor Tomohito under the control of the Tokugawa shogunate received news of his death, and then his one-year-old son was put on the throne by the Tokugawa shogunate and awarded the year name 'Xuanren'.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Tokugawa shogunate also began a more in-depth reform of the public and military alliances, and Tokugawa Ieshige continued to control power.

The Tokugawa shogun, who died of beriberi in Osaka in history, is still alive and well.

And the illness and death of Emperor Zhiren has made the real and false emperors of Japan a mystery, and it is estimated that if the parties do not say it, it is estimated that the Japanese will not know which is the real emperor Meiji or Zhiren.

However, this is not important, but the important thing is that after 1870, the Meiji government, which controlled the southwestern part of Japan, entered into a relatively calm strategic confrontation with the Tokugawa government, which controlled the central and eastern parts of Japan.

Well, with the words of the Hokkai Kingdom, the three-kingdom situation of Japan has become a foregone conclusion. (To be continued.) )
