Chapter 122: The Church of the Future

The modern military industry cannot be perfected overnight.

Although the model is out, the physical machine is formed, supporting facilities, weapon systems, and ammunition devices all need time to be studied and improved.

All of these things cannot be equipped into an army without a single one for three years and five years.

The government structure of the Ming Empire has been basically completed. Wen Jiming almost copied a set of systems from the Ming Dynasty, and after simplification, formed the current six-ministry system of the central government.

Grabbing. That is, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Central Department of the Ministry of Officials.

The Shangshu of the six departments have been selected and taken office, among which the official secretary of the management official is served by the old Wenli, and the military department is the prince of the former Hedong County, and the current Earl of the Ming Dynasty, Wei Chen.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu is the son of Wei Heng, Wen Jiming's great apprentice, the former lord of Xiachuan County, and now Wei Ting, the Earl of Daming. The former princes of Chuanshang County, now the Earl of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Shang, served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. The former princes of Chuanzhong County, now Zhao Ying, the Earl of the Ming Dynasty, served as the secretary of the criminal department. Zhou Jun, the former prince of Hexi County, and now the Earl of the Ming Dynasty, served as the secretary of the household department.

The governor of Hanzhong Province is naturally concurrently served by Wen Jiming, and the Taishou of the Six Prefectures is currently temporarily held by six former important ministers from the Six Counties, and if the political performance is qualified, he will be transferred to the official Taishou.

Among them, the old Wenli was also awarded the title of Earl of Daming by Wen Jiming because of his hard work. This is also done to balance the status of the six Shangshu, otherwise the other five will have titles, but Wenli does not, and it is very likely that some problems will arise in the future.

The other five earls were all in favor of this, after all, in the past, because Wen Jiming was not at home, Wen Li dealt with the five of them, and everyone had a good relationship.

When all the important government positions were arranged, the entire Ming Empire began to function rapidly.

October 1st of the first year of the Ming Dynasty.

Wen Jiming convened the heads of six ministries and held the first ever government meeting.

In addition to Wen Jiming himself and the six Shangshu, the legendary mage Herodotus, who served as the director of the Daming Profession Higher School, Aristock, who served as the director of the Magic Research Institute, Alan Borg, the new president of the Daming Chamber of Commerce, and Jiang Yan, the governor of Jinyiwei, the director of the Daming Security Division, that is, the director of the police department Wen Tong, and the director of the Military Security Department and the squire of the military department, Wen Heng, also attended the meeting at the same time.

After Wen Jiming gave a brief speech, the six Shangshu began to take turns on the work of the headquarters during this period of time and made a report at the meeting.

The first to speak was the head of the six ministries, the official department Shangshu Wenli.

"At present, all the six prefectures are operating very well, the posts of grassroots officials have been filled, and the middle and low-level schools under the jurisdiction of each prefecture have basically been put into construction. The construction of a general college of higher learning in Chengdu has also been completed and is now beginning to recruit students, and we are preparing to build a higher school of art in the new city of magic to train all art-related professionals. ”

The education work of the Ming Dynasty, due to the streamlining of the institution, is currently under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Officials. The Department of Education was set up in the Ministry of Officials, which was responsible for the education work of the Ming Dynasty.

Wen Jiming planned to implement a different version of the imperial examination system of the Ming Empire in accordance with the method of civil service examinations, and held an annual general examination, and the candidates were signed up by graduates of colleges and universities that year.

Considering that colleges and universities have only begun to recruit students at present, the entrance examination in the coming year will be oriented to the society, and the content of the examination will be relatively simple, and then from the third year, the real scientific examination system will be officially held.

Wen Li's speech was not long, and he quickly ended his work report, and the next step was Liu Shang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to report on the diplomatic work during this period.

"Due to His Majesty's previous commitment to his friend, we have helped the Titan Giant Kingdom and the Black Iron Dwarf Kingdom build a small local teleportation array at the end of last month, and signed an alliance agreement with these two kingdoms, plus the previous alliance with the free magic city Minos and the Sirius Tribe, we currently have a total of four allies on the Saturn continent."

"In terms of foreign trade, we now import a large number of war horses and leather from the Celestial Wolf Tribe, and a large amount of meat products and flour from the Titan Kingdom, after all, the animals and plants there are very large in size and can provide a large amount of food sources."

"We import a lot of seafood products from the magical city of Minos, as well as a lot of various mineral resources from the dwarven kingdom. Last month, we promised the Titans Kingdom and the Black Iron Dwarven Kingdom to help them install the city's lighting system, but all this will not be possible until the engineering construction team in Minos has installed the lighting system of the magic city. ”

Fantasy Fantasy. "The trade with the four allies has basically been in surplus at present, and with the trade with merchants from all continents, our foreign trade volume this year has reached a record high, and we have achieved good results."

The emerging Ming Empire can be said to be unrivaled in trade, and the sales of unique new products on various continents are becoming more and more vigorous.

Today, the new city of magic has basically become an international city, where at least 60,000 merchants, professionals and their families from all continents live. This makes the current population of the new city have reached more than 420,000 people.

After the official book, the young Ministry of Industry Shangshu Wei Ting began his report.

"By the end of last month, we had 72 factories registered and started building factories in Hanzhong province, half of which were related to the textile industry. In terms of the current development direction, the textile and garment industry is likely to be another of our key products in the future, and the food processing industry is also on the rise due to the development of canning technology and freezing technology. ”

"At present, heavy industry is also expanding wildly, the first generation of magic locomotives has passed the experimental stage, and when the railway from Chengdu to Magic New City is completed at the end of the year, the railway to the other five provinces will be built at the same time. At present, the highway construction team has basically completed 40 percent of the kilometer upgrade plan in Hanzhong Province, and it is estimated that all the renovation will be completed by the middle of next year. ”

The current kilometer renovation plan is completely prepared in advance for the mass production of magic cars in the future. Wen Jiming has already been released at this time, and since he is determined to shape another world, he will go directly to the end, as long as it is something that is likely to be moved from the earth, he will pack it all up and carry it together.

Moreover, he seemed to realize at this time that some of the things on the earth might even be more advanced than the earth after being transformed by the local magic technology of another world. At the very least, he knew that he now had the technical foundation to build space warships.

The next speaker was Zhao Ying, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

"The construction of the Dali Temple of the High Court has begun, the courts of the six prefectures have basically been put into use, the judges have been equipped with posts, the construction of the Hanzhong Provincial Prison has begun, the criminal law is being formulated, and all the criminals are currently assigned to the railway site to help with the construction. The police station is operated by the Director of Security, and all police officers are fully staffed. ”

The Ministry of Criminal Law can be said to be a department with relatively few tasks, and its main task now is to improve the final draft of the Criminal Law and then submit it to the central government for approval. Grabbing

Next, Zhou Jun, the head of the household, began to speak, as the financial steward of the Ming Dynasty, his position can be said to be quite important.

"So far, we at the Imperial Bank have issued 27 million gold dollars, 25 million silver dollars, and 30 million copper coins. In the last month, the revenue of the State Treasury was 16 million dollars. Most of this comes from the difference in the price of precious metals and the profits from trading grain with the orc armies of the Talama continent. ”

"At present, the Imperial Bank has less than 30 million gold dollars and gold talunes in stock, which is really a pitiful amount for our country with a population of more than 10 million, and I suggest that Your Majesty consider the possibility of issuing paper money. Especially since our currency is beautifully made, and many places and continents are collecting our currency, which is not a good phenomenon. "Wonderful pen shop

Hearing this, the young legendary king, who had been listening all along, without saying anything about anything, finally spoke.

"This is not the time to issue paper money, unless we have a large deposit of precious metals, continue to use bills for large transactions, increase the purchase of precious metals, and immediately expand the mint, and strive to more than double the amount of money produced in two months."

"As for what you said about the collection of our currency, I don't have a good way to do it, but fortunately we have always made a lot of profits in precious metals trading. So in the future, when you go out to make a large purchase, try not to use our gold dollars. ”

In the end, it was the turn of Wei Chen, the secretary of the military department, to make the final report.

"As of today, all 10 divisions and regiments of the two army corps have been reorganized. At present, each division already has a musket corps of 5,000 men. However, now only the 1st Infantry Division of the Ming Dynasty has been equipped with artillery units, and the rest of the divisions and regiments can only be deployed after the new artillery units are trained. ”

"Considering that the current military units are somewhat out of date due to the addition of the new arms of musketeers and artillery, it is proposed that the entire army be reorganized in a new military establishment. In this regard, the newly established General Staff Department has provided several ideas, and I would like to ask His Majesty to make a decision on this. ”

"As for the cavalry, at present we already have eight thousand cavalry troops, of which three thousand are heavy cavalry in armor, and the remaining five thousand cavalry, because of the appearance of musketeers, we have abandoned the idea of forming bow and arrow light cavalry, and have trained them all into medium dragoons, equipped with new carbines and sabers, and equipped with plate cuirass as armor."

"In addition, there will be a field training for all the cavalry this afternoon, if Your Majesty has free time this afternoon, I would like to ask Your Majesty to come over and have a look, and give guidance by the way."

After Wei Chen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, finished his report, Wen Jiming gave his own decision on the suggestions he put forward.

"Don't be in a hurry to reform the establishment of the army, and when the army will be expanded to four corps, it will not be too late to make changes. After all, the needle-shot pistol owned by the army is not very suitable for the requirements of the new musketeers, and the current Magic Research Institute is developing the next new rear-loading rifle research, if it is fast, it is estimated that there may be results in a few months. ”

"As for the cavalry field training you said this afternoon, I'll go and see it, I really want to see how your dragoons are trained."

After answering Wei Chen's question, Wen Jiming turned his head to the people who were listening and asked.

"Do you have any questions to ask at the meeting, and if you have any questions, you can bring them up and see."

Jiang Yan, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stood up and said after hearing Wen Jiming's words.

"When I came out today, the king specially instructed me to put forward a proposal on the formation of our own church in Daming at this meeting. Madame said that you should have a religion of your own, so that we people of the Ming Dynasty can be prevented from joining other religious sects. ”

"I myself think what you said is reasonable, now the Odd Church has also opened a church in our new city, if it continues to develop like this, it is possible that the eight churches will establish churches in us in the future, and develop our people to join their churches."

After hearing Jiang Yan's words, Wen Jiming's heart moved, he had a premonition that some opportunities were about to appear, and he couldn't help but agree with this suggestion in his heart, so he turned his head to look at the legendary mage Herodotus, hoping to get affirmation from him.

Sure enough, after listening to Jiang Yan's words, the legendary mage's expression also moved slightly, and then the old mage directly expressed his approval.

"I agree with the Grand Governor, for the time being, we are going to do our best to ensure that our people do not participate in these sects without offending these churches, so it is very necessary to form our own churches!"

The other people present also expressed their agreement with Jiang Yan's opinion. Wen Jiming heard that everyone's opinion was very unanimous, nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Jiang Yan.

"Madame has any specific suggestions, if so, you might as well say it directly, so that everyone can refer to it."

"The king said, you can ask Zheng Yu of the Taoist Academy to take the lead, directly change their Taoist Academy into a church, and then ask the husband to write some doctrines and provide them with the development of disciples, the name of the sect is Daming Church, in this case, our people will be very happy to join."

If Jiang Yan didn't mention Zheng Yu, Wen Jiming would almost forget about this person, and he finally remembered this young Daoist priest and another monk who was not bald. Grabbing

Wen Jiming thought about it and thought that there was some room for maneuver. I might as well copy some scriptures and write them out, and by the way, make the profession of a paladin justifiable, and think that I can set up my own knight group in the future, Wen Jiming couldn't help but be a little excited.

"I agreed, I will start forming a church tomorrow, you are very familiar with Zheng Yu and the monk Shi Zhiyan, you go to talk to them personally, tomorrow I will give you a scripture, you can show them, it is best to persuade the two to join the church together."

"In addition, the name of the Daming Church is not good, it is easy for people from other continents to see our intentions clearly, since the outside translates our Daming Empire as the future empire, it will be called the Future Church, I
