The Zhengdan Banquet of the 19th year of Wucheng was the most deserted royal gathering after the completion of the Phoenix Mountain Palace, except for a few young princes and their mothers, most of the attendees were worried about the sons (brothers, husbands, fathers) who traveled far away, and only had to force a smile for fear of angering Zheng Kezang.

The depressing atmosphere lasted until the year later, when the news that the eight clans who had arrived early had arrived safely at the abbot and started their business reached Wuchang, some of the concubines and princes who were worried about it breathed a sigh of relief, and the clouds shrouded in the Phoenix Mountain Palace and Wuchang City were also dispelled a lot.

Zheng Kezhang was the only one, from beginning to end in front of people did not show any abnormality, still thunderously handled government affairs, and announced the establishment of the health and welfare yamen a year ago, and after the New Year, according to the opinion of the cabinet, the Ministry of Industry was officially split into the postal yamen responsible for road administration and postal services, the capital water yamen responsible for water conservancy projects, and the construction yamen responsible for the construction and maintenance of government offices and officials' residences, the sale and leasing of urban government-owned land and houses, and the construction and maintenance and management of urban public facilities. As a result, the number of existing yamen in the Chinese court increased from the original four to eight.

Zheng Kezang's aim was, of course, to gradually increase the number of administrative departments, but his efforts were successful in some places, and in other places they were once again met with resistance from the ministers -- the Yantie Yamen was strongly opposed to splitting up, and with the exception of Prime Minister Lin Weirong, who was anxious, most of the rest of the cabinet counsellors and ordinary cabinet ministers also set up separate tariff yamen, so as to avoid too many redundant officials and unclear powers and responsibilities.

"Half a step ahead is a genius, one step ahead is crazy, the ancients don't deceive me." Looking at Lin Weirong with a solemn face in front of him, Zheng Kezhang muttered something that people couldn't understand after a long time. "yes, that's good." As soon as these words came out, Lin Weirong's heart suddenly jumped, and he felt that Zheng Kezang's cleansing of the cabinet was imminent, but something unexpected happened to him, so he listened to Zheng Kezang. "Since it is a cabinet meeting, let's put this matter on hold for the time being."

Rao is Lin Weirong has been in the sea for a long time, and he has long practiced a pampered and humiliated mentality, and he can't help but be stunned at this moment, and it took a long time before he came to his senses, got up and bowed down and said: "Holy Saint, the minister's decree." ”

"Shengming?" Zheng Kezhang snorted lightly, the reason why he chose to accept the cabinet's opinion was not because he was afraid of the civilian clique, but suddenly felt that it was unnecessary, after all, the purpose of his crossing was not to continue the Manchu Qing Dynasty's enslavement policy, but to reshape the spiritual outlook of the civil and military officials and the common people, so that they could stand up and become thoughtful and Taoist people, so as to promote the rejuvenation of China in all aspects, so excessive suppression of the civilian clique can only be counterproductive. "After listening to the words of the cabinet, it is Shengming, so I might as well hang it on the wall."

Lin Weirong was so frightened that he fell to his knees all of a sudden: "The ministers are out of public intentions, and they have no intention of setting up the saints. ”

"Get up, you are the prime minister of the cabinet, the prime minister of a country, you bow down all day long, what kind of system has you become." It wasn't until Lin Weirong struggled to get up that Zheng Kezhang said. "I am a stingy person, since the ministers do not think that my decision to split the salt and iron yamen is appropriate, then I will follow you, but I retract my previous decision to retain the criminal department, and the criminal department is the judicial yamen and the thief arrest yamen, the thief arrest yamen is in charge of police, household administration, sea arrest, detective and other matters, and the judicial yamen is responsible for determining various laws, such as "criminal system", "commercial law", "civil law", "maritime law" and so on."

Lin Weirong suddenly smiled bitterly, at this time he felt that what he was in front of him was not a godless king who ruled over all countries, but an old child who had to be compared, but Zheng Kezhang had already made concessions, and the cabinet naturally couldn't get an inch, so he thought about it and repeatedly assured Zheng Kezang: "The ministers will try their best to persuade the cabinet and the ministers of the criminal department." ”

Zheng Kezhang was just about to nod with satisfaction, but suddenly thought of something and asked the Hanlin Scholar on the side: "In this way, there are only four ministries and as many as ten yamen?" ”

Lin Weirong's heart twitched suddenly, but the Hanlin scholar on the side did not take his will as a divert, and responded seriously: "What the saint said is that after splitting the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Industry, only four of the six Cao remained, and the Yamen increased to ten. ”

Zheng Kezhang shook his head again and again: "It's not proper, it's inappropriate, this matter has to be reweighed." ”

The so-called re-weighing, according to Zheng Kezang's meaning: "Just revoke the Ministry of Rites, re-change it to the Etiquette Yuan, and put the Zongren Mansion under the Etiquette Yuan, Zongzheng concurrently leads the Etiquette Yuan, Zongyou also leads the Etiquette Yuan, and another Shaoqing is in charge of the Etiquette Academy. ”

Raising the status of the Ministry of Rites is to worship the ancients, Lin Weirong naturally can't say anything, he can only bring Zheng Kezang's meaning back to the cabinet for discussion, but Zheng Kezang's words are not finished: "The Ministry of Officials has also been re-changed to the Court of Judges, which is parallel to the General Administration Yuan, and the power of the heavenly officials is too great, which is not a good thing for China and foreign countries." ”

Lin Weirong simply waited for Zheng Kezang's next words, and sure enough, Zheng Kezang continued: "The school department is still renamed the Ministry of Culture and Education, and the military department is also split into 6 military departments and naval military departments to correspond to the North and South Privy Councils; In this way, there are only two ministries left, so the Duzhi Yamen will be changed to the Du Branch, the Salt and Iron Yamen will be changed to the Salt and Iron Ministry, the Agricultural Administration Yamen will be changed to the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, and the Prime Minister's Yamen will be split into the Lifan Yuan and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. No, it was not necessary to set up a separate Yuan, but it was merged with the Household Administration Department of the Arrest and Theft Arrest Yamen and the Local Division of the Judicial Yuan to form the Ministry of the Interior, which was in charge of the Zongfan, the Inner Domain, the Tusi, Mongolian and Tibetan affairs, the local administrative divisions, the household register, and the records of the monks. ”

According to Zheng Kezang's meaning, it is tantamount to reorganizing the Huaxia Imperial Court after smashing it, such a determination made Lin Weirong sweat coldly, and he couldn't help but respond with sincere fear: "What the Holy Lord said almost completely changed the imperial court official system, and there were a lot of involvements during the period, but I am afraid that it will have to be properly discussed by the cabinet and various ministries." ”

"Qing thinks that I am old and confused, so I can do this perverse act?" Zheng Kezhang looked at Lin Weirong coldly, and only shook his head after half a sound. "I think that since the Liucao system has been destroyed by me, it is better to destroy it more thoroughly, so as to further clarify the rights and responsibilities of the ministries, and at the same time make a difference between the ministries and the yamen." Zheng Kezang waved his hand happily. "Of course, it is also possible to completely abolish the ministry system, change it to the yamen, and replace the old titles of Shangshu and Shilang with ministers and assistants, but this change is even greater." Zheng Kezhang didn't want to continue the topic of political reform. "Alright, let's go and consult with the cabinet."

Soon after Lin Weirong retired, Zhou Yushan, the former secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the current director of the construction yamen association, and Yan Xingzhen, the secretary of the construction office of the inner court, jointly asked for a meeting, and these two people came to report on the construction of the new city of Tianjin Prefecture and the Shangjing Xinggong -- after more than four years of hard work by hundreds of thousands of Manchurians, the Tianjin Xincheng and Shangjing Xinggong had been completed after the comprehensive management project of the Yongding River and the Haihe River.

According to the system of leaving the city attached to Huaxia, the original Tianjin Acropolis of the Ming Dynasty and the Tianjin Fucheng of the Qing Dynasty were renamed Haihe County, and the new Tianjin Fucheng is between Wuqing County and Ninghe County, located in the northeast of Haihe County for five (summer) miles, its original site is a saline-alkali swamp, after a series of projects such as landfilling and excavation, a modern city with sewer facilities has been established with the same sewer facilities as Jianghuai recovering Xinchang City. Although the new city of Tianjin was not very large due to population constraints, the city retained room for expansion, and for this purpose the new city was specially designed to bring water from the Chaobai River and build four peripheral reservoirs and Romanesque water pipelines.

As for the Shangjing Palace, it is neither in the new city of Tianjin nor in the old town of Haihe County, let alone a group of buildings, but a number of palace groups rebuilt by using the Manchu Dynasty Gongtie and the magnates in the surrounding areas of Tianjin, such as Xianghe, Tongxian (Zhou), Daxing, etc., respectively, with the theme of spring, summer, autumn and winter, each with the Huangzhuang, the palace, the horse farm, the forest belt, the hunting ground, the artificial lake, the aqueduct and other supporting buildings, and specially separated and set up the second division of the Praetorian Guard to guard nearby.

Due to the fact that the older sons traveled far away and the country was empty, it was inconvenient for Zheng Kezhang to leave Beijing to tour the north, so he could only appreciate the magnificence of Tianjin New Town and the scenery of Shangjing Palace through the "Composition of Shangjing Palace" by the court painter and the drawings of the internal and external construction departments.

After reading these drawings and picture scrolls, and listening to the introduction of the two courtiers, Zheng Kezhang quietly waved away the two, so that Zhou and Yan, who came excitedly, were completely confused, so they had to return to their respective offices in a huff, but out of the sight of the two, Cai Tong, the minister of the Yamen Office of the Duzhi Branch, and Yao Zepei, the new minister of the Dushui Yamen, hurriedly received the order.

"The construction of Tianjin City and Shangjing Palace has been completed." Zheng Kezhang said to the two straight to the point. "There are still 300,000 Manchus and traitors left in the north, and we can't let them eat rice, so I think it's time to govern the Yellow River." Zheng Kezhang asked Cai Daodao. "Is it a problem to prepare another 10 million next year?"

Cai Tong said bitterly: "The imperial court uses money everywhere, and the ministers don't have a golden hand, how can it become 10 million yuan, even if it smashes the pot and sells iron, it will make up at most one or two million yuan next year." ”

"Then it's decided, the Duzhi Yamen will take out two million yuan every year." Zheng Kezhang did not give Cai Tong a chance to repent, and bit the cost borne by the Duzhi Yamen, but two million guan was a lot, but it was obviously not enough to complete the comprehensive management of the Yellow River, so Zheng Kezhang ordered Cai Dao. "With these two million guan as collateral, the Yellow River will govern the treasury bonds, interest, and discuss with the two money banks of Sihai and Tonghai, but we must ensure that we raise 10 million guan every year."

Cai Tong replied with a blank face: "Two million guan, Duzhi Yamen may be able to squeeze it out by gritting his teeth, but how to return it after borrowing ten million guan?" ”

Zheng Kezhang replied confidently: "Use the renovated water along the yellow water to repay the principal." ”

Cai Tong hurriedly said: "There is a master along the yellow earth. ”

Zheng Kezhang turned to Yao Zepei and asked, "Qing told Cai Qing about the strategy of the Dushui Yamen. ”

"Yes." Yao Zepei, who used to be the capital of the Ministry of Industry, said to Cai Tong. "Since the fifteenth year of Wucheng, the Ministry of Industry and Water Division has done surveys along the Yellow River, and finally the Shengshang Shengzhu decided to adopt the plan with the least local resistance, the greatest cost and the best effect, that is, the Huanghuai diversion plan, so that the Yellow River can return to its original course, so as to completely relieve the flooding of the Huai River."

Cai Tong opened his mouth and stammered: "Go to the Yellow River, go to Shandong, and enter the sea?" ”

"Exactly!" Zheng Kezhang replied categorically. "The imperial court has moved away the people along the Yellow River in Zhongzhou, southern Hebei, and Shandong over the years, and now these lands are all official lands, and there is no problem in selling them after rectification."

Cai Tong asked puzzledly: "You don't need to requisition land, so why 10 million a year?" ”

"Because the embankment and the base of the river should be laid with cement as much as possible, and this time it is necessary to take advantage of the unpaid labor to build two channels into the sea at the same time," Yao Zepei gave an earth-shattering answer. "The Yellow River will be diverted every five years, during which the silt and sediment of the old river will be removed, and then together with the afforestation of Shuofang, the flood of the Yellow River will be completely eliminated for thousands of years."

Cai Tong finally exclaimed: "Ah??????"
