Accumulating funds? Expanding reproduction? Zhu Yongxing smiled slightly, the textile industry in Susong and other places has a long tradition, whether it is silk or cotton, it is famous. And as far as the current situation is concerned, it is far from reaching the prosperous Cheng dù of the Ming Dynasty. When the weaver had money to spare, he wanted to buy more looms, which is the same as the farmer who wanted to buy a field when he had money.

"Food, clothing, housing and transportation, this clothing is still in the first place!" Zhu Yongxing said with a smile: "People are in charge of all industries, and they are all self-reliant. The government should give priority to guidance and must not force changes. Heavy agriculture includes many aspects, such as building water conservancy, rewarding land reclamation, renting cattle and horses, selecting good seeds, etc., but it is not necessary for others to cultivate everything. ”

"Yes, Weichen will go back and think about it, and then go to Chen." Cai Ming bowed down to receive the order.

"Zhang Qing-" Zhu Yongxing turned his gaze to Zhang Huangyan, Zhang Huangyan hurriedly sat down and listened to the holy oracle, "The judicial revision should be accelerated, the governance of the country and the management of the people, the law is not complete, how can it be relied on?" In addition, the Department of Public Security should continue to be expanded in order to separate its functions from the magistrates as much as possible. ”

Although the separation of powers is still too advanced, the separation of the judiciary and the administration is imperative. As far as the current talent selection mechanism is concerned, it is obvious that local officials are not only familiar with criminal law but also proficient in government affairs, and that they must not only try and investigate cases, but also govern local areas.

At first, Zhang Huangyan did not quite understand Zhu Yongxing's desire to reform the functions and powers of officials that have been practiced since ancient times, but he did not deny that officials from the imperial examination were indeed not all-rounders, and if the work of arresting criminals and handling criminal cases in various localities was directly under the criminal department, it would also make local officials have fewer ways to be corrupt and corrupt. Therefore, after Zhu Yongxing explained the truth clearly, he no longer objected.

"Although the academy has opened criminal law courses, the time is still short, and the talents are still far from enough. So ......" Zhang Huang stopped talking. Zhu Yongxing is smart and wise, but it is still difficult to get rid of the problem of seeking treatment.

"There is a shortage of professionals!" Zhu Yongxing smiled bitterly, sighed lightly, and stopped urging.

"Qi Xiang Majesty, Weichen, Dali Temple, also lacks criminal law talents." Guo Zhiqi said: "However, the place is at the beginning of Jing, and it is under the control of the semi-military. There are not many criminal cases, even if it is delayed for a while, it is okay. It's just that the Tartars have not been destroyed, but His Majesty wants to attack the Wa Kingdom, and the ministers think it is inappropriate. ”

"It is to teach the Satsuma clan a lesson, to show the Ryukyus the responsibility of our suzerain, and to ensure the supply of sulfur." Zhu Yongxing said: "In the big picture, if our emperor can take this action, it will also have a heavy impact on other countries. North Korea is bound to be closer. This will be of great benefit to our army in capturing Liaodong. It's not that I'm trying to redeem my troops and get carried away, but I really have deeper considerations. ”

"The old minister is stupid, listen to what His Majesty says, and it will be clear." Guo Zhiqi has some complaints about Zhu Yongxing's accession to the throne, but the general trend is what the military and the people want. He was powerless to stop it, but from his heart. But it is not denied that Zhu Yongxing is far superior to Yongli, and he does have the posture of a hero, so he is always in contradictions.

"Your Majesty, if my Emperor's army has the strength to teach that, that Satsuma Domain. He should also welcome back the Emperor Taishang who patrolled Burma. Sure enough, Guo Zhiqi still mentioned this matter very uninterestingly.

"Now that the grass is sprouting and the miasma is rising, it is not the time to use soldiers." Zhu Yongxing's expression did not change, and he still explained eloquently: "I have ordered King Zhao and Ping Shuobo to step up preparations. When the frost fell and the miasma stopped, he went out on a large scale and went straight into Myanmar to meet him. ”

"Your Majesty, you-" Guo Zhiqi didn't expect Zhu Yongxing to agree so happily, and the reason was clear, without the slightest excuse for delay.

"Hehe, it's a trivial matter, Guo Qing doesn't have to be like this." Zhu Yongxing smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Maybe the Burmese barbarians see that it is unprofitable, and seeing that our court has a tough attitude and strong military strength, it will follow the example of the emperor to send the emperor back to the country!" ”

"Your Majesty is wise." Wu Sangui bowed down and said: "My Emperor Ming army has recovered half of the country, the army is in full swing, how dare you use your mantis arm as a car?" ”

"It would be best if you could welcome the Holy Driver back without using swords." Zhu Yongxing nodded with a smile and said, "After the Tartars are expelled and the rivers and mountains are repeated, it is not too late to settle accounts with Myanmar." ”

Myanmar will not have a good time in the future! The ministers almost all thought like this, but Zhu Yongxing did what he said, and he did not be soft at all when he embezzled foreign land. According to the Governor of the Mekong and the River, Zong Shouyi, there are signs of civil strife in Chenla, please advise on how to deal with it? Zhu Yongxing immediately replied that he should take it when he took it, and he should not hesitate, and allowed the two provinces of the Mekong River to recruit more troops to expand their strength.

"Qi Gong Xià, the Manchu Qing sent a secret envoy to discuss peace." Ye Hu entered the cabinet in one fell swoop from the head of the intelligence bureau, and it cannot but be said that it was Zhu Yongxing's reliance and trust, and he was one of the cabinet ministers, but Ye Hu was even more respectful and diligent, and did not dare to show a proud look at all.

"Secret envoy, that means I don't want to make it public." Zhu Yongxing sneered disdainfully, "I'm not Zhao Gou, I can use Hangzhou as Bianjing." ”

"Your Majesty, the Tartars are sure to lie and deceive, but they just want to buy time and slow down the offensive of our army." Zhou Liangfu, the secretary of the Ministry of Supervision, came from the Intelligence Bureau, and his analysis was very accurate.

"He uses a strategy to delay the army, we may be able to make a plan and make him careless." Zhu Yongxing thought about it and said: "Let's discuss it and come up with a piece of Chen Shang!" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has a play." Chen Shaoyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, bowed down and said: "Since the twelfth year of Yongli, the country has not opened a branch to take scholars, and it has been more than three years. ”

Zhu Yongxing was really tired of the imperial examination and the Bagu scholars. Before he could figure out what to do, he thought about procrastinating. After thinking about it for the past few days, I felt that it could not be delayed for a long time, and I also had a temporary solution in my heart.

"What Chen Qing said is reasonable." Zhu Yongxing nodded and said: "When I ascend the throne, the army and the people will either be rewarded or benefited, but this scholar should not be left out for too long." Well, then open Enke, open martial arts, pay equal attention to civil and military, and recruit talents. The time is set for this autumn, the weather is cool, and this man's spirit is good. As for the subjects, they can be imitated in the Sui and Tang dynasties, tentatively Jinshi, Ming Law (law), Ming Zi (writing), Ming Calculation (arithmetic), water conservancy, and economics -- well, the secretaries can discuss and then increase. The specific constitution was formulated as much as possible to inform the world. ”

The ancient Chinese imperial examination system first originated in the Sui Dynasty, and by the Tang Dynasty, it had become more and more perfect, with many examination subjects. The permanent subjects mainly include Ming Jing (Jingyi), Jinshi, Ming Fa (Law), Ming Zi (Writing), and Ming Arithmetic (Arithmetic). But in the Ming Dynasty, there was only one subject of Jinshi, and the content of the consideration was only one subject. Judging from the general trend, the imperial examinations after the Ming and Qing dynasties became more and more rigid and rigid.

"In addition—" Zhu Yongxing pondered for a moment and said, "The matter of opening the Hanlin Academy can be postponed for the time being." The war continued. There should not be too many institutions, and we will discuss it later! ”

In ancient times, the Hanlin Academy was the secretary of the feudal emperor, and the organization and role of the Hanlin Academy in each dynasty were similar. And Zhu Yongxing has the Prime Minister's Office, so there is no need for the Hanlin Academy. Moreover, although the Hanlin people have no real administrative power, they are precious to Tsinghua University, have a pen in their hands, and have the special right to speak given by the emperor, and the Hanlin people often form a "clear stream". "Hearing the news" has become their prerogative.

In Zhu Yongxing's view, "rumors and rumors" often become "rumor-mongering," groundless and even extremely absurd remarks, which give a legitimate excuse for indiscriminate scolding and become a means for the party to fight against differences.

Today's early dynasty, Zhu Yongxing seems to be in a good mood, and he plays a lot. There are few rejections. Zhang Huang Yan saw that it was an opportunity, so he opened his mouth to advise: "Your Majesty is smart. Smell one to know ten, but also be diligent, don't get tired of the government. ”

Zhu Yongxing was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood, it must be because he took his family out to play after two days of dispersion. It's just that it's easy to follow. I didn't miss political affairs, where did I get tired of politics? Could it be that no one can believe Chongzhen, and everything has to be done by himself?

As a leadership style, "hands-on" refers to a leader who does everything in detail. You must do it yourself and manage it to rest assured. "Grasping the big and letting go of the small" means that a leader manages the things that should be managed, let go of the things that should be lived, always pays attention to concentrating the necessary time and energy to solve the main contradictions, and firmly grasps the initiative in work.

If you say that "everything must be done personally", it should be Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period. According to the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", "Shu is doing everything in detail, and Liang is unique". Although Zhuge Kongming strategized and won a decisive victory, due to the difficulty of overcoming the shortcomings of everything, he finally became ill and died in Wuzhangyuan in his fifties.

"Gou Zi said: 'If the Lord is good, everything will be detailed, and if the Lord is good, everything will be waste.'" I don't learn from Wuhou, no matter how big or small, are Qing and the others all busy people? Zhu Yongxing said lightly: "I think it is already a selection of talents, is there a Qing family who feels incompetent and difficult to hope?" ”

Zhang Huangyan didn't expect Zhu Yongxing to speak loudly, and use their abilities as a shield, which is not easy to refute.

"Hold its outline, neglect its program, and do politics above it." Yicheng, the head of the household, said with a smile: "Your Majesty Shengming, let Weichen and others have the opportunity to exercise and increase their talents, and Weichen and others dare not do their best to repay His Majesty's trust." ”

"What Yi Qing said is exactly what I want." Zhu Yongxing was a little me, a little me, obviously not fully adapted to the new identity, the new title, with Yi Cheng's words, he didn't want to talk about it at length, asked again, and saw that no one played, so he retreated.

……………….

"Your Majesty, you should call yourself 'I'." The retreat has ended, and on the way back, the female official Duan Wan'er reminded again.

"It's awkward!" Zhu Yongxing smiled bitterly and said, "Slowly get used to it!" You see, when those cabinet ministers were just given a seat to discuss the matter, didn't they also repeatedly excuse themselves and didn't dare to take their seats? I'm used to it now, Lonely, well, I also need a process! ”

"Your Majesty, you still have to pay more attention, so many pairs of eyes are staring, today's exhortation from Zhang Shangshu is a reminder." Duan Wan'er seemed to sigh, thinking about it, she also felt that it was not easy for this emperor to be the emperor.

"If you want to play relaxed, you can't do it!" Zhu Yongxing really sighed this time, it was not interesting to hug the front and back, the light car was simple and there were many inconveniences, and the emperor wanted to be free, which was a very difficult thing.

Do those courtiers want the emperor to stay in the palace honestly and read those songs of merit and virtue and peace in the world every day? It seems that someone once said, "In this world, the most unbelievable thing is this twist and turn."

It is said that it is a private interview with Weifu, but in fact, it is very self-deceptive. If you look at the flowers, you can understand the people's feelings, and you can just meet the grievances of the people, or meet the buried talents? As for being out for a long time, opening a porridge shop, selling tea, or picking up girls and eggs, for the emperor, it is even more unreliable.

In the final analysis, it is necessary to truly know the situation of the people and truly understand the feelings of the people. It also depends on a sound supervision and reporting mechanism. Otherwise, the upper and lower levels will be deceived, and the emperor in the deep palace will be as if he is blind.

It's easy to be a faint gentleman, but it's hard to be a bright gentleman! Zhu Yongxing sighed, looked up and reached the prime minister's office, and walked in. Waved his hand a little impatiently. Interrupting the ceremony of welcoming the holy car and calling long live the mountain, Zhu Yongxing went directly to his office and took a seat.

Expelling the Tartars, sweeping away border troubles, recuperating the people's strength, governing the rivers and reassuring the people, changing the land and returning it to the stream, opening up the territory, and reforming the political system......

Zhu Yongxing stroked the major events engraved on the wooden plaque he carried, and pondered for a long time with his eyes half-closed. Pile by pile, piece by piece, is not easy to complete. Moreover, it is likely that he will not be able to compete for all the achievements in his lifetime. But the road has to go on, and things have to be done.

Duan Wan'er walked in with a handful of origami jiàn, gently placed it on the table, and turned around to ask the maid to bring refreshments and fruits.

Although Zhu Yongxing is grasping the big and letting go of the small. But he always knows things, knows how far a certain work is going, and if there is a deviation, he must also adjust and revise it.

He was most concerned about the military, and he reached out to take the overly good texts and began to read them one by one, occasionally pausing to write down his opinions.

The Ministry of State Security reported that the Qing court had begun to mobilize Xuanda and Shanhai troops. He also summoned the Mongol tribes to send troops to help in the war, and the garrisons were mainly in Xi'an, Nanyang, Huainan, and Tianjin......

North Korea has agreed to temporarily lend Jeju Island to the Ming Dynasty to raise Matun soldiers. In advance, 3,000 people set out by boat, and after arriving on Jeju Island, they set up barracks and horse farms, and planted alfalfa in large quantities as pasture.

The Military Industry Department reported that the output of soil nitrate in various places has reached a new high, and most of the people have a sideline business of boiling nitrate, that is to say. The common people can profit from this, and the military industry is no longer particularly dependent on the import of saltpeter.

The Ministry of Military Industry reported that it was planned to build the Jiangnan Arsenal, and in the initial stage, it would require 100,000 yuan in silver to build various factories for nitrate, sulfur, charcoal, medicine, charcoal, and medicine, as well as craftsmen's residences, bureau houses, medicine depots, and wood and iron work.

Army Division: Dangshuo Military Tune Chongming. The two armies of Zhengshuo and Zhanshuo are guarding Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Shushuo army is transferred to Jiujiang, the two armies of Shuo and Shuo are stationed in Jingxiang, the Zhenshuo army is stationed in Chongqing, and the Jingshuo army is still guarding the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou, and will draw troops to participate in the battle against Burma in the autumn.

The Navy Division's report: After one ship is replenished with the Yangtze River Naval Division, the rest of the seagoing ships will withdraw from the Yangtze River and be stationed in Chongming, Shanghai, and Zhoushan, and it is planned to recruit another 3,000 marines.

The logistics department reported: Jiangling City, an important town in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, is surrounded by fertile land, which can be recruited to reclaim and cultivate, or to fight Shuo and cut Shuo to carry out military cantonment, so as to solve the grain and grass in the Jingxiang war zone; Chongming was ripe in the last year, and the official warehouse and the people's grain accumulation was enough for the army and military, but the household department needed to pull out some money to buy it; For the time being, the Jiangnan region also needs to withdraw money to buy grain, or transfer grain from the Laoguangfu area, and after the harvest in one season, it will be alleviated in the second half of the year...... In addition, the salaries, ammunition, and materials of the various armies this year still need 6.43 million ......

Need so much money? Zhu Yongxing frowned slightly, stretched out his hand to take the report and text of the household department, looked at it, and calculated.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the entire Chinese winter was extremely cold for decades, known as the Xiaoice period, during which the average annual temperature was very low, and the summer drought and flood occurred one after another, and the winter was extremely cold, and even Guangdong and other places were experiencing heavy snowfall. Generally speaking, the Xiaoice period refers to a period of low temperatures from the 15th century to the mid-19th century. From a scientific point of view and calculations, the Xiaoice Age has not yet passed, but after 1650, temperatures began to rise rapidly, and natural disasters were greatly reduced.

Although the temperature was only warmed up and the disaster situation weakened, the Ming army's recovery area was in the south, and the situation was much stronger than that in the north, and the cultivation of hardy, high-yield crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn was vigorously promoted, and the speed of recovery and reconstruction after the war was quite fast.

It's just that Zhu Yongxing adopted the strategy of loosening the low amount of money and hiding the wealth from the people, and if he needed a large amount of grain and grass materials, he still had to buy or borrow money from the people's grain stocks.

But this was worth it, not only to give Zhu Yongxing a reputation for being generous and loving to the people, but also to arouse the enthusiasm of the people to resist the Qing Dynasty and stimulate the war potential contained in the people.

After reading the statistical article of the household department, Zhu Yongxing breathed a sigh of relief. Although there is a gap, it can be solved through the issuance of war bonds or through other channels. The recovery of the south of the Great River has led to a sudden increase in the goods of maritime trade, and goods such as porcelain, silk, tea, and cotton spinning no longer have to be smuggled to obtain them, and there are fewer intermediate links, and the profits are more considerable, and the commercial tax will also increase substantially.

And this--Zhu Yongxing's eyes turned to a small tin jar in the corner of the case, tobacco, that is the government's new source of revenue.

According to research, tobacco was introduced to China during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty from the second half of the 16th century to the early 17th century, and when Emperor Chongzhen was in power, he issued many smoking bans. It is strictly forbidden to plant, sell, and offenders will be severely punished. The Chongzhen ban on smoking does not explain the danger of smoking, but because of the homonym of "eating smoke" and "eating swallows". Beijing is Yandi, and Chongzhen thinks that smoking is a bad omen and unlucky.

Since the smoking ban cannot convince people, of course, it will not be abolished. In addition, at that time, the rule of the Ming Dynasty was crumbling, the dynasty was precarious, and a large number of southern soldiers were on the northern expedition, and life was not used to it. They feel that smoking can ward off the cold and plague, relieve boredom and refresh the mind, and it is indispensable every day. Later, at the request of Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, the ban was finally lifted. Since then, smoking has become popular again under the nickname of "Xi Chao Ruipin". In the last years of Chongzhen, it developed to the point that "although a three-year-old boy, he can't eat cigarettes". (To be continued......)
