A landscape garden with white walls and tiles, stacked stones and jade, and black eaves scattered is today's Daming School of Administration.

This was originally the residence of Zhang Shenyan, a former scholar of Dongge University and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, but since Zhang Shenyan was copied to the imperial court after colluding with Zuo Liangyu to try to rebel.

And Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was too lazy to build a large number of buildings on the grounds of saving people's financial resources, so he used this Shenyan mansion as the location of the Ming School of Administration, which can be regarded as a disguised protection of private garden buildings, otherwise it will only be abandoned, which will only make it dilapidated.

The establishment of the Daming School of Administration was Zhu Youzhen's first reform measure to change the system of officials in the Ming Dynasty, and the purpose was to redefine the rules for the appointment and dismissal of important central functional departments, such as the officials of the six ministries and cabinet ministers, and the heads of various ministries and departments of the Generalissimo's Office.

Prior to this, the so-called rule that non-Jinshi should not enter the Hanlin and non-Hanlin should not enter the cabinet since the Orthodox period obviously did not have the conditions for reasonably appointing an official to hold the central power of the imperial court.

That will only result in many cabinet ministers not having experience in local politics, not having practical experience in the ministry, and spending most of their time in the Hanlin Academy, although it is easier to be familiar with the rules and regulations of the court than anyone else, but in the end most of them are just mediocre ministers who follow the rules.

Not everyone has the ambition of the world like Zhang Juzheng, and it is more appropriate for officials who are determined to innovate and vigorous to be promoted from the local level.

In particular, those officials who can govern the army on horseback, govern the country when they get off the horse, can be civil and martial, and can be a general and enter the prime minister were ostracized by the Qingliu in the first few dynasties of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youzhen believes that the people who will be at the peak of the central power of the Ming Dynasty in the future must come from the superintendent, have experience in the central organs, have experience in the grass-roots level, have experience in leading troops, and have experience in serving the government.

And before taking power, you have to go through a certain amount of training, and the Daming School of Administration is for this.

In the future, important officials above the third grade must have the experience of studying at the School of Administration before being promoted.

The cabinet and the ministry now do not know the intention of Zhu Youzhen to establish the Daming School of Administration, or they do not understand what administration is at all, and can only be understood literally that His Majesty seems to be intending to follow the example of the emperor of the previous dynasty to set up a Jixian Palace, which is a move by His Majesty to cherish talents.

Because of this, Fan Jingwen, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Hua Yuncheng, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, who presided over the executive affairs of the Ministry of Officials, did not prevent Zhu Youzhen from establishing the Daming School of Administration.

By the way, Gao Hongtu, the deputy assistant of the cabinet and the secretary of the ministry, is still on vacation.

Therefore, the standing office of the Ministry of Officials is presided over by Hua Yuncheng, the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials.

Hua Yuncheng is an official directly ordered by Zhu Youzhen, before Ma Shiying's call was not answered, and now he is presiding over the Ministry of Officials, specifically against the cabinet, but also quite Zhu Youzhen is useful, the Ministry of Officials and the Cabinet are competing, for him, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it is naturally better to issue the decree.

Today's Daming School of Administration no longer has the laughter and chatter of famous prostitutes in the pear garden when it was the old garden of Zhangfu, in addition to the sound of green leaves and the sound of dragons, there are also noisy arguments and the sound of slapping the table.

This is the military system, from the local to the central level of the governor and the general military officers above the third grade, as well as the officials of the Generalissimo's Office, have all gathered in the Daming School of Administration.

Not only these people, but also Yingtian Governor Qu Shiyun, Susong Governor Xu Wang, Fengyang Governor Chen Zizhuang, Huguang Governor Li Yan, Jiangxi Governor Tang Xiangtai These governors who urgently need to be promoted, as well as the six departments of the Shangshu and other scholars in the cabinet.

The Ming Empire controlled the real power from the local to the central level of the three officials and the five temple Zhengqing and Ying Tianfu Yin, a total of more than 40 people, each of them is either a scarlet official robe or a python jade belt, or dignified or majestic, there are sociable people who say good things when they meet people, there are not good talkers sitting in the garden to watch the flowers, birds and water, and there are also four or five people or three or four people hiding in a place where no one is whispering.

In the past, the northern officials who followed Zhu Youzhen to the south gathered in a group to talk about the current situation in the world and discuss what His Majesty will do next; The officials of the south also gathered together to talk, and from time to time they looked at the northern bureaucrats of the other side; Several ministers and eunuchs also gathered on one side, saying that they were different from outside the palace; Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong and other military attaches also kept their distance from civilian officials, talking about how to fight the Tatar cavalry next time; And several governors of the Guards system also spoke in groups. Gao Yigong, Liu Fangliang, and Gao Jie had no other bureaucrats who were willing to deal with them, who were born in the peasant army, so they could only talk and laugh together by Li Yan's side, but fortunately, there was also a plug Yinxi who would talk to them and tell them what kind of furniture this was made of wood, which was porcelain from the official kiln.

Zhu Youzhen led Xia Wanchun to hide in a tall building and looked at everything in front of him, and couldn't help laughing, these people are the foundation of his management of this empire, but it is obvious that there are already many factions, each team, and those who rely on the column alone don't know whether they want to be a lonely minister in front of their own emperor, or if they are really unkind because of their strange personalities.

"Next, I'm going to start officially moving their interests, Xia Wanchun, how many of them do you think will be convincingly willing to let me move their interests?"

Zhu Youzhen asked Xia Wanchun on the side.

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know, but Weichen believes that they have to listen to Your Majesty no matter what, otherwise the world will not agree, and my guards will not agree", Xia Wanchun said this, Zhu Youzhen only smiled slightly, straightened his clothes, and walked downstairs and walked out through the road.
