Recently, I have been in poor health and in poor condition, so please forgive me.

At the beginning of the new year, the Zhaowu Chronicle was officially recorded in history as a symbol of the stability and progress of the new dynasty, and the common words of "what ...... want to do back then" and "that is still a matter of the Zhaowu period...... have changed since then.

Although Enke was about to open soon, the appointment and dispatch of officials had not stopped, and Zhu Yongxing really had some trust in the civil officials who were selected by the imperial examination. Those who graduated from the academy, the old Guangfu area in the south, or those who have received special training, or have practical experience, whether you are on the right path of the imperial examination or not, whether you have meritorious service or not, a large number of officials have been sent to the north to serve.

But in any case, there is no doubt that these officials are intellectuals. As an intellectual of the Ming Dynasty, it is rare to be able to be unswerving, not driven by any pressure, and to be consistent. Intellectuals of any era who can withstand the test of life and death are extraordinary. However, those who can withstand the temptation of high-ranking officials, Hualing, or kindness and acquaintance are even more one in a million. The biggest weakness of intellectuals is that they want to serve the courtiers too much, and if the courtiers give them some color, they will be smeared with liver and brains. Especially those who have not entered the office, they are looking for an opportunity to live an official addiction.

In this state of mind, no matter which imperial court, even the Qing court, will attract a lot of scholars to work for it. As far as Zhu Yongxing is concerned, such intellectuals are also the easiest to subdue.

He is both a backbone and a cadre. Such a standard is too demanding. Moreover, for now, the restoration and reconstruction has nothing to do with the backbone, but more to test the ability of officials. Those who bent their knees to the Manchus were also implicated and punished, and there was another test of war. It's also completely unnecessary. With the improvement of the law, as long as you are honest in your work, Zhu Yongxing will not be too harsh, and there will even be corresponding measures to reward clean officials.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, this is good. Zhu Yongxing needs officials who can understand and implement policies, and officials who support and are loyal to him, but this is still not the same as cronyism. Some people are upright, but they are pedantic and stubborn, in Zhu Yongxing's eyes. But it is not as good as those officials who are keen on their careers and have some flattery.

Otherwise, the standard of talents cannot be out of touch with the times! What kind of officials does the imperial court need now, aren't they exactly the ones who are proficient in civil affairs and can do their best to restore the local government to reduce the financial pressure?

After the Manchu clique was driven out of the pass, although the plough court had not yet swept the caves and finally eliminated them, the theme had quietly changed. The Manchu Qing Dynasty, which had fallen into local separatist power, no longer had to gather the strength of the whole country to fight against it. In other words, the Manchu clique was already falling apart and struggling to survive. It is only a local threat, relying on the Northeast Military District, which is not strengthened. With the cooperation of the Beijing Military Region, it is enough to restrain it.

Another strong enemy, the Junggar Department of Moxi, was rising, and had already annexed the Heshute Department and the Dulbert Department, and recruited the Tuerhute Department to squeeze out the area of the Volga River Valley in Russia, and drove the people of the Heshute Department to Qinghai. In a few years, the wolverine of Dzungar will collude with Tsarist Russia to raise a sword again. Forced Chechnya, Kazakh and other khanates to be attached to Tsarist Russia.

Iron must also be hard, Zhu Yongxing understands this truth. Therefore, he is now five points focused on the military and five points on civil affairs. Only by recovering from the wounds of war can China accumulate sufficient strength. Launched a strategic offensive against the Mongol tribes in the desert.

GDP is still another term, Zhu Yongxing was more averse to using numbers to measure the performance of officials in his previous life, but now, he has no choice but to see that where the money and grain are paid more, the officials in which place make him feel appreciated and happy. And Zong Shouyi, the governor of the Mekong and Hehe rivers, is undoubtedly one of the representative figures.

The idea of developing the Mekong Delta region into a food base is becoming a reality through continuous expansion and reclamation. Among them, the largest plain in Southeast Asia and the land of fish and rice are worthy of their reputation, but Zong Shouyi and others are indeed indispensable. Without the support of more and more money and grain from the two provinces of Mei and He, Zhu Yongxing would not have had so much confidence and confidence to start the Northern Expedition in advance.

"You can only use it, and you don't have to worry too much about what kind of fame you have." Zhu Yongxing wanted to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, but he also knew that this new qualification was a little criticized, although he never thought that this fame, which was similar to a diploma of later generations, would determine a person's ability, "Zhang Qing, although you are from a high background, you are also a pillar of the country, and you deserve to be in the cabinet." ”

That's right, looking at the current important ministers of the imperial court, in addition to Guo Zhiqi's background, even Zhang Huangyan is just a person. The rest of the people are mostly from Xiucai, which is really pitiful. But these people have all followed Zhu Yongxing through adversity, whether it is to understand his meaning and work ability, or to be loyal to him, they are all blameless.

Of course, if Zong Shouyi only entered the cabinet, although he was young, he had proud political achievements, it would not be too much. But to be a secondary assistant, it made the ministers a little opposed. Because Zhu Yongxing does not use eunuchs, the power of the cabinet is already very large, and the auxiliary or secondary assistant no longer needs to rely on the eunuch to deliver the approval, and the power is the same as the previous prime minister. How old is Zong Shouyi, does he have the kind of sleek means of dealing with the world, the vision of the overall situation, and the prestige and confidence to be able to convince the public?

"Long live the selection of capable ministers with actual ability, which is understandable." Zhang Huangyan has been the oldest important minister in the cabinet since Guo Zhiqi went north, and he is also the most daring to admonish, "Although the governor of Ranzong has outstanding political achievements, he is only a local official, and he has rich experience in reclamation and expansion. ”

In the end, he is still young and has not enough qualifications! Zhu Yongxing knew that most of the cabinet ministers in the Ming Dynasty were Jinshi and Hanlin, and they were ordered to enter the cabinet. Most of these ministers are ten years old, they have been in Hanlin Yuan for a long time, and they are people who dance and write, and they have no actual political experience. Once they enter the cabinet, most of them are mediocre and insightless, and most of the cabinet ministers are mediocre and mediocre in order to protect the official rank, and few have the courage to do things and dare to act.

Although the current cabinet officials of the imperial court are basically not of this type, it is still psychologically unbearable for new promotions to surpass them.

Maybe you can take it a long time, let Zong Shouyi enter the cabinet first, harmonize the relationship with his colleagues, get familiar with the work of the cabinet, and make some achievements, no one will have any objections, right?

Zhu Yongxing thought about it and decided to promote a new promotion like Zong Shouyi, so that the cabinet would not fall into the old circle of following the political style. Being responsible for his name, being proactive, and having creative ideas and propositions in political affairs is what Zhu Yongxing hopes to see. (To be continued!)
