After Zhang Riyao retreated, Chen Kejun, the secretary of the school, came out and reported: "Wang, the four Taixue schools in Zhejiang, Fujian, Dongning, and Guangdong have officially enrolled students in September, with a total of 571 candidates, and Jiangnan Taixue has recruited 217 candidates this year. ”
At this stage, the students recruited are actually not qualified, but there is no way, the education system at the prefectural and county levels has just begun to spread, and there are no qualified students at all, so they can only pull out the eldest son among the short ones and make do with them first. Moreover, although Zheng Kezhang intended to let them study for a long time, with the expansion of Zheng Fan's ruling area and the implementation of the government's affairs in several provinces, and the local officials who were anxious to fill the vacancies, Taixue had to compress the curriculum, so that these Taixue students were actually nondescript in Zheng Kezang's eyes. But there is no way to do this, at this stage, the main problem is to solve the problem of whether there is or not, and at most in the future, I will return to the furnace for further study.
"The amount of courses that are too learned should be increased." The only way to reduce the pressure of Taixue teaching is to promote the subordinate specialized schools, but the number of teachers and professional ability is a problem, so Zheng Kezhang had to retreat after thinking about it for a long time. "In addition, the school department should urge the local government to effectively improve the government and county schools."
Chen Kejun smiled bitterly, but he always had to respond on his face: "The minister understands." ”
Zheng Kezhang asked him to step down, and then named Lu Xuefang, who had just been inexplicably implicated, to come out of the ranks: "Lu Qing, how is the election this year?" How many officials were hired in the township test this year? ”
The so-called election refers to the situation in which officials are selected to serve as officials, and out of the external demonstration effect and the internal consideration of not allowing officials to control local government affairs for too long, Zheng Fan promoted a large number of officials with relatively good official reputations to leave their hometowns and counties to serve in other places when the ruling area continued to expand and the government was promoted to the countryside. The township examination was originally supposed to be in the hands of the school department, but Zheng Kezhang considered that the township examination was only a transitional link in the full implementation of the three-level teaching system of Taixue, Fuxue, and County School, so it was handed over to the Inquisitor Yuan in charge of the appointment and assignment of officials.
"Back to the king's words, this year, a total of 7,426 officials from Jiangnan, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong were appointed as officials above the eighth rank and below the seventh rank, most of whom were scattered to the neighboring provinces, and only a few were transferred within the province, of which 289 were ordered to be transferred to various ministries and departments of the shogunate." Although Lu Xuefang has been transferred not long ago, after all, he is the head of the special agent of the staff department, and he is still very sensitive to numbers. "In addition, in the township test in September this year, Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Zhejiang, Jiangbei, Gannan, Fujian, and Guangdong included a total of 2,120 scholars from the two lists. Guangxi and Hunan have also held township examinations, but the number of candidates and admissions is not large, and there is a shortage of officials, and the officials are trying to find ways to fill it. ”
"Not badly done." Zheng Kezhang estimated that it was also for appeasement considerations. "The chamberlain gave me a piece of money."
Those who understood that Lu Xuefang won the consolation prize were noncommittal, but there was no shortage of eyes that breathed fire because of this, at this time Zheng Kezhang called: "Lin Qing, Cai Qing, the Grand Trial Court and the Supervision Yuan have already been set up in the local area?" ”
Lin Liangrui came out again and said: "If you go back to the king, in addition to the six provinces of Gannan, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hubei, and Hunan, all the branches and branches of each province have been set up, and the prisons in various places have also been transferred, and the branches in Jiangnan, Zhejiang and other places have also begun to patrol the old files of the prefectures and counties and the lawsuits of the people according to the localities. ”
Gannan is a newly carved out province, the branch court may have been set up, but the higher branch court did not have suitable manpower for a while, and Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Hunan are just stable, or newly occupied areas, so it is normal that it is too late to set up, as for the Hubei Grand Trial Court, it was set up earlier, but it is only a branch court, and the branch court only has two branches in Wuchang and Huangzhou, of course, now the Grand Trial Court can share some of the burden of trial after the main court is moved.
Cai Hanxiang, who had just been reprimanded, reported with a blank face: "The Supervision Yuan has established branches in the three provinces of Gannan, Yunnan, and Guizhou, and at the local level, it has set up branches except for the newly recovered Yunnan, Guizhou, Jingxiang, and Nanxinguang. ”
It is normal for the Supervision Yuan to be set up faster than the Grand Trial Yuan, after all, it is necessary to know the Da Ming Law or the Great Qing Law and the Supervision of the Judicial Yuan, but there is no need to understand these things for the time being, but this is a transitional period, and if you want to join the Supervision Yuan in the future, I am afraid that you will not only need to master the knowledge of the law, but also know the shady scenes and tricks of local administration, otherwise you will not be able to do a good job of supervision.
However, Zheng Kezhang would not be harsh on them now, but wanted to express a certain amount of salvation for the rough attitude just now, so two more coins were given, which made Cai Hanxiang's expression relax a lot.
After the chief officials of the two ** departments retreated, Chen Ke, the minister of the Ma Zheng Yamen Conference Office, then made a report: "Your Majesty, the captured Mongol soldiers have been sent to overseas horse farms as herding slaves, but the princes above Taiji are in the hands of the Privy Council. ”
"Princess, Taiji, lonely is still useful, you don't have to be like an ordinary slave." In fact, in addition to having the staff interrogate repeatedly in order to obtain information on the Mongolian allied flags and part of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Zheng Kezhang also had the opportunity to split the Manchu and Mongolian alliances, but there was no need to elaborate on this to outsiders.
"Your Majesty, the Cargo Spring Yamen has completed the "Law of the Money Industry". After Chen Ke, Zheng Kezhang finally ushered in a good news. "It is expected that the first year of Taishun will be published in the world, and at present, the Department of Internal Affairs has submitted a report on the establishment of two major money houses in Sihai and Tonghai, and declared the exchange of banknotes such as Sihai Lian Bill and Tonghai Gold Bill.
Speaking of which, this is also moved from Zheng Kezang's left pocket to his right pocket, but without this million private money, Zheng Fan's finances may not be a deficit but a direct bankruptcy.
In this regard, Zheng Kezhang asked with interest: "In addition to Sihai and Tonghai, are there any other money banks that have applied for opening?" ”
Tang Kaishan, the minister of the Yamen Association of Goods, responded with some embarrassment: "Not yet." ”
"That's their loss." Zheng Kezang was stunned for a moment, and then said in a tone that the courtiers looked strong. "When the Interior Department makes a lot of money, it's too late for them to regret it." Speaking of this, Zheng Kezhang admonished again. "In addition to the "Money Law", the "Insurance Law" should also be prepared and prepared."
"After the minister returns, he must step up his supervision."
After that, Tang Kaishan retreated to the middle of the column, while Lin Weirong, the governor and minister of the Yamen Affairs Office of the Western States, took a step forward: "My lord, the negotiations between the Fanyang Yamen and the Japanese side are not going well. ”
This was another piece of bad news: "The Tokugawa shogunate, despite the opposition of the feudal domain, forcibly banned Fukuju paste in the country, and the silk and sugar prices were repeatedly lowered, and the income of the merchants and citizens of the feudal domain was greatly reduced. ”
Lin Weirong reported anxiously: "In addition, there is news in Nagasaki that Min Qingbo has died in Japan."
Zheng Kezang's face suddenly looked ugly, although Zheng Zhi did not have a good relationship with him, and he arranged to go to Japan, but he was a relative, and he couldn't write two Zheng characters in one stroke, so he died in Japan in such an unknown way, how could he explain to Zheng Ming and Zheng Cong. In addition, what is more critical is that Japan's trade routes are not smooth, and the income from opium has plummeted, which not only affects customs duty revenue but also affects his own private money, which cannot but make him feel malice.
But thinking of the current embarrassing financial resources, Zheng Kezhang sighed slightly: "As long as Japan does not cut off normal trade routes, and put it aside for a while, as for Furong, the orphan will take care of the Department of Internal Affairs and deal with it properly." ”
Then Zheng Kezhang asked, "Jinlan and Xiboni are okay for the time being, right?" ”
"Jinlan now has a population of 200,000, and Xibo Ni has 80,000." The vast majority of this number are fugitives from Zhenla, Champong, and Annam, in addition to the black slaves and Japanese immigrants resettled by Zheng Kezang in the past, as for the Han people, there are only one or two thousand, and more than half of them are under the control of Yang, Chen, Yan and other immigrants in Meilan, Hexian, Jiading and other places, as for Xiboni, the situation is a little better, but the proportion of Han people is still not high.
"It's not easy to create like this." Although Lin Weirong has leadership skills, Zheng Kezhang did not reward him, and Lin Weirong did not dare to care, after all, he just sat back and enjoyed his success. "Is there still Ben to play?"
"The minister has his own music." Lin Xian, the right scholar of the military department, came out of the ranks. "Admiral Huang Chuxu of the Yangtze River Fleet of the Navy Division has reported that he wants to expand the Yangtze River Fleet, and will set up three squadrons in Dongting, Poyang, and Taihu Lake, and keep one team each in Hanshui, Jingjiang, Jiujiang, and Nanjing."
"This?" Zheng Kezhang frowned, he had promised to comprehensively reduce the military spending for the next three years, at this time, the Ministry of War asked to expand the army, is it a bit of a slap in the face, but the Yangtze River Fleet is indeed quite important, especially in the case of the division of Sichuan, it is necessary to fortify between Yichang and Wuchang, so he had to look at Zhang Riyao. "What does Zhang Qing think?"
"The minister still doesn't know the budget of the military department." Zhang Riyao responded. "But this year is definitely not possible, next year's budget has been almost done, even if you have to expand the army, I'm afraid you will have to pay for the king's internal money."
Zheng Kezhang gasped and asked me to pay, how does this make the inner library not Tang monk meat, so he could only say to Lin Xianyan: "It's not lonely and stingy, there is really not much silver in the internal inventory, and the expenses next year are large, but the input is insufficient, so let's do it, the Yangtze River Fleet will not be expanded for the time being, and the original strength will be maintained first." ”
Lin Xian was naturally dissatisfied, but the 6th Division was completely out of play, and the Navy Division could still get the allocation of four 13,000 cruisers, if he continued to make trouble, I am afraid that the Du branch would not make trouble, and Lin Heng, the Zuo Shangshu of the Military Department, would jump up and compete with him for the budget first.
Thinking of this, Lin Xian had no choice but to retreat: "In this way, I have no choice but to persuade Vice General Huang." ”
"The Ministry of Industry submitted a petition to Huainan to build a track to facilitate the transportation of coal in Huainan"
"The Criminal Department reported the arrest of the sea"
"The New "Knighthood" on the Ministry of Rites"
Zheng Kezhang sat on the upper seat and patiently listened to the reports of the courtiers, and time passed unconsciously
