When the Forbidden City was built at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, a palace pavilion was built on the east and west sides of the outer court. The east side is called Wenhua Palace, the main hall is Wenhua Palace, facing south, facing five rooms wide and three deep, and the door is open six doors. There is a passage leading directly to the Wenhua Gate, the apse, and the side hall are the three halls of the main respect, Benren, and Jiyi.

This was originally the prince's office, but Daming has not had a suitable prince to work here for a long time.

Not for at least fifty years.

Another use here is the sutra feast, which is a place for ministers to give lectures to the emperor for a few days every year.

Obviously, this use has not been used in years.

At the court meeting, the Ming Emperor personally selected 13 people as scholars of Wenhua Palace, 29 people as bachelors of Wenhua Palace, and 49 people as governors of Wenhua Palace. A university scholar is equivalent to a cabinet member, and a bachelor's degree is equivalent to an assistant secretary, and it is also a process of learning and progression, and most of them are officials between the ages of 30 and 40.

The last forty-nine were all scribes, all of whom were young men.

Bachelors have the opportunity to enter the university bachelor's degree, and the governor is not likely to enter the bachelor's degree, but he will also write a gorgeous stroke on his resume and be released as an official, and the full honor has the opportunity to enter the bachelor's degree, which is much more qualified than other officials.

In addition to the governor, there are also nine places for the Kuniko Prison to enter the school.

In modern ideological understanding, it is an internship for outstanding college students in the State Council, and this is the supreme glory according to the Ming Dynasty's ideological understanding.

Everyone had a rite of consecration, and the thirteen scholars were ordained by the emperor himself.

The bachelor's degree was conferred by the First University Scholar Chen Xunlai. Governors are ordained by the rest of the university scholars.

When it came time for the students of Guozijian to receive the book, it was still awarded by the emperor himself, which was to show his care for the younger generation.

But among these nine people, there was one person who made Bai Minghe frown. Because this person is his own younger brother, Bai Minglu!

"Hooray!" Bai Minghe made an exception, and he wanted to take the initiative to resign for his younger brother.

"Hooray. Lao Chen is over seventy years old. The old minister asked for long live's grace, in case the old minister was not in good health, and he failed to be loyal to Long Live in these three years, and to fulfill his responsibilities for the Ming Dynasty. The old minister mentioned yì white name crane to replace the old minister in the Wenhua Palace! Hu Hu knew what Bai Minghe wanted to do, and stood up and took Bai Minghe's army.

You're going to resign, right, you're asking for your resignation. I'd better excuse my brother's resignation.

The white crane was stunned on the spot. Many of the courtiers were secretly laughing, only Bai Minglu bowed his head and gritted his teeth tightly, he could not react in any way, nor could he let people see that there was anything inappropriate.

Although Bai Minglu has never entered the officialdom, he has been by the side of the merchant for a long time. He knew very well that he didn't even have a place for the country's eunuch, but he could be a scribe in the cabinet. This is not because of his brother's face, but because of his brother's power. So he was made out of office to restrain the white crane.

He was not qualified to resign, and even his teacher could not refuse this request, let alone him.

The only one who could refuse was the white crane.

But right now, it's obvious that even the white crane himself is in a dilemma.

"The minister is still young...... Bai Minghe couldn't find an excuse, and after opening his mouth, he found that the excuse of being young was too ridiculous, and he changed his words and said: "The minister should go to Nanjing, there are many things where the minister still has a place to play." ”

"No matter where you are, you are responsible for the country!" Takaya gave Shirana Crane a step down.

Bai Minghe hurriedly changed the topic: "Long live Chen Qi." Wu Yingdian is also idle. The minister asked for permission to establish a wartime military academy. The Ming Dynasty put down internal turmoil. Internal warfare always requires some old courtiers who are already old and cannot go to the battlefield, but have rich experience, so that they can be more stable. ”

"The front-line war is changing rapidly, and the wisdom of the commander and the bravery of the general are the keys to victory!" Responses were made. And also a military attaché!

Not for the white crane, but for the needs of the battlefield.

"Hooray. Give the minister another half a year. The minister has already invested 100 stones of gold, and another 100 stones will be thrown in, and the minister's thousands of miles of transmission can be completed. The order of Long Live can be transmitted to Nanjing in a breath of time, and it can also be transmitted to the battlefield. Therefore, long live the minister's enlightenment and set up a wartime military planning institute. At the same time, the minister dared to play. Please Banzai give the Chambers of Military Counsel sufficient power, especially in wartime, where a wrong command can cost the lives of tens of thousands of sergeants. ”

Zhu Qiyu didn't speak, just looked at Bai Minghe coldly.

Bai Minghe's request this time is a bit excessive, which is equivalent to saying, as the emperor, you don't want to command indiscriminately, it will kill people. The ministers love to hear this, but the emperor may not like to hear it.

"I'm ......." Zhu Qiyu made a long tone, and almost all of them became nervous. At this time, Zhu Qiyu had a smile on his face: "Yes." ”

After the title of the secretary of the military department who had just gone to Beijing, Lord Wang, who assisted Yu Qian in managing the military department, and Yu Qian's eyes quickly exchanged, and then stood up: "Long live the minister, when the staff meetings are undecided, please make a decision!" ”

"No, the vote will be voted on. I just hit there and hit there. How to fight is the responsibility of the famous marshal who has been killed for a long time. Although the performance of the white crane just now was a little disrespectful, it was not wrong. It is impossible for the Ming army to be commanded by people who do not know how to soldier, and the Ming Dynasty cannot have many orphans and widows because of someone's incompetence! ”

"Long live the wise!" The ministers shouted.

Bai Minghe sighed and stepped back, knowing that it was impossible to resign.

Bai Minglu still bowed his head deeply, and only raised his head when he was conferred the book, and knelt down to receive the golden book similar to the letter of appointment.

"White Crane, come out and reconcile!" Jin Lian was not polite at all, and directly pointed to Bai Minghe, and then hugged his fist to the ministers: "Colleagues, this account is not a trivial matter. It is related to the worship in the Long Live Palace next year, the deposit of silver in the Ming treasury, the budget for the expenses of various ministries, and the incorruptible silver next year, as well as the share of subsidies for various officials! ”

That's right, reconciliation is a big deal.

At least I know how much silver can be divided, and the Ministry of Industry is currently the top big money spenders. The Ministry of Officials is concerned with the income of officials. The Criminal Department also needed enough money to stimulate the arresters, and closed many cases due to lack of funds. The Ministry of Rites is now a big debtor, and the funerals of the concubine and the prince cost a lot.

What about the military department? If you want to fight, how can you not need silver.

"I'm a little poor this year!" Bai Minghe said slowly: "If you invest too much, the income will be at least half a year later." The big accounts are here, and the small accounts are piled up in a room on my house. Compared with last year, there are 70% more in the account, but the actual amount that can be divided is only about 1.3 times the amount of last year. ”

Enough is enough! Not only Jin Lian, but also the six important ministers and the important ministers of the cabinet all breathed a sigh of relief.

This year's huge investment is what they know, and Bai Minghe has invested more than 100 million taels of silver overseas. Although many of them are on the stock market, Hai Si has also invested a very large amount of silver, and according to Jin Lian's idea, Bai Minghe gave eighty percent of last year's salary, which can barely support all the expenditures except for the war department's battle against the tile spurs.

If it is not enough, it is good to reduce the number of rivers and roads to be repaired.

"Who's the big credit for Haiji this year?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"Long live back, I haven't figured it out yet. At present, the income of Little Luzon has surpassed that of Da Nang, but the income of Goryeo is also very huge, and the account office is in the process of accounting. It is not surprising that Da Nang is doing well, and the income is twice as high as Chen expected, but this is already the limit of Da Nang, and the growth may be slow in the future. ”

Zhu Qiyu just wanted to hear who worked harder.

Whoever is the first merit will be rewarded. As for whom, it doesn't matter.

It can be said that the discussions at the court meeting are all major matters related to the development of a country, how much silver the Ming Dynasty has, how many things can be done, how many miles of silver can be deposited in the treasury of many countries, how many miles of rivers can be repaired, and so on, none of which are trivial.

Above the main hall, the young Cabinet Governors were in charge of recording the conversations, and it was difficult for everyone to suppress their excitement. It turns out that our Ming is so powerful. The most shocking thing is the white heron, he is two and a half years younger than the white crane, the white crane is eighteen years old, and he is eighteen years old this year.

I never thought that my brother, who was a little slippery, would be such a powerful character.

Especially whenever these unattainable big names in their own eyes stop discussing and wait for their brother to express their opinions. Half of Bai Minglu's heart is full of pride, and the other half is huge pressure. He was afraid that in the future, after he really joined the ranks, because of his lack of ability, it would affect the reputation of the Bai family and even his brother.

The Bai clan in Guanzhong is no longer an ordinary gentry, but a wealthy family.

Not to mention the prefect of Xi'an Mansion, even the political envoy of Shaanxi Province has to politely call his grandmother an old lady white.

Most of the young courtiers outside the main hall couldn't understand the issues coming out of the hall, but when it came out from the hall that this year's New Year's reward was doubled according to last year's standard, these young people understood, and everyone was a little excited, especially the officials from poor families, who even put a smile on their faces.

The Ming Dynasty is going to celebrate the New Year, and the whole of Asia is going to celebrate the New Year.

Influenced by Chinese thought, not to mention Goryeo, Wa, Harrow, Nanzhang and other countries, even the grasslands have expectations for the New Year. In all of Asia, the two least affected places were the Kingdom of Delhi and the large and small kingdoms south of Malacca that were influenced by the teachings of the Ottoman Empire.

At this time, it was at the Mosan Wharf north of Lee's Goryeo.

The docks were in a modest mess, and a group of sturdy Koreans with iron badges of the Mosan Guards and wooden sticks were using their sticks to break up the coolies on the docks, and a dock stevedore was hung upside down from a flagpole on the side. The captain of the guard, armed with a long whip, picked up the whip and gave him forty lashes without mercy.

"Look at the rules." After the whipping, the team was pounding the huge plank on the dock with the handle of the whip.

The rules of the dock workers were clearly written on the board.

"Stealing goods is a felony, and the punishment is forty lashes and kicking out of the docks. Think of the children in your family who are waiting for you to come home with your wages to buy food, who gave you the guts to steal the cargo from the ship? The escort was shouting and asking, and Li Gaoli's dock workers couldn't help but bow their heads. And the evidence that is placed there is just a fresh white radish! (To be continued......)
