Chapter 342: The Old Liar Takes Charge
"Emperor, Emperor......"
Zhu Yuanzhang found that he really had to be cautious in choosing a successor.
Not to mention having both ability and political integrity, the wrist must be tough, otherwise the great Ming that he and Zhu Han fought down would be very troublesome to manage.
……
Zhu Han went to find Meng Duan, and Meng Duan was also very excited after seeing Zhu Han, he was able to transfer from Henan to Yingtian, although it was a level-level transfer, but the difference was very big, Yingtianfu Yin was able to go to the court, and lived under the emperor's nose every day, as long as he did well, the chance of promotion would be very great.
After Zhu Han saw Meng Duan, he praised him: "Old Meng, you did a good job, I just came from the palace, and Your Majesty praised you for your outstanding ability." ”
"Your Highness, you have praised me falsely, where am I outstanding, I am just taking advantage of the situation, otherwise I am an old liar, how can I be in my current position?"
Meng Duan followed Zhu Han's side, and he spoke very directly: "As for me, I'm afraid that there are many people who look at me unpleasantly in the court, and Your Majesty is upright, and he won't have a good impression of me." ”
"Heh, you know yourself very well."
Zhu Han laughed, and then said: "As long as you keep your heart, how can other people's opinions of you not change?" At the end of the day, it's all about doing your part, I've heard...... Did you use Xu Huizu too? The ability is okay. ”
"Not only Xu Xiaoguogong, but I also took advantage of several other people." Meng Duan said with a smile, "Li Qi, the son of the Korean Gong, is also doing all kinds of evil in Yingtianfu, I invited him to a meal, drunk him and said a lot of good things about the Korean Gong, and at the same time told him not to embarrass the Korean Gong, I just have a chance for him to prove himself now, and then he honestly became the deputy minister by my side." ”
Does Fu Cheng still have a deputy position?
Zhu Han was stunned for a moment and asked, "Isn't that just an ordinary person?" ”
"It's not even as good as an ordinary petty official, he doesn't have a salary."
Meng Duan said with a smile, "I just gave Li Gongzi a way to prove himself, and he didn't pass the assessment, how can he get a salary?" Now Li Gongzi is managing the stall in Nancheng, and it is said that in order to facilitate management, he also paid for the management of Nancheng himself. ”
“……”
This old liar really has a way to pay back his mother.
Li Qi and Xu Huizu didn't earn a copper plate, but they had to pay money to help govern.
At this point, there is no one.
"Regardless of the black cat or white cat, catching the mouse is a good cat, it seems that the move to transfer you to Ying Tianfu is really the right move."
Zhu Han looked at Meng Duan, "But you have to be careful, they are not stupid, and after they figure it out, it will be difficult for you to do it." ”
"It won't be difficult."
Meng Duan said with a smile, looking confident: "I have talked a lot with Bachelor Song Lian, and he thinks that although my use of the Gentleman is unreasonable, it has an obvious effect, and he is going to write a few words to praise these sons who have made contributions to the security of Tianfu." ”
“……”
No way!
This old liar, now he is one step ahead, and he has already thought about the next few steps.
Even if Xu Huizu and Li Qi knew that they had been deceived by Meng Duan, it was useless, as long as he took out the words written by Song Lian, these sons would have to be hung on the tree by him one by one!
They lost money and made a lot of efforts, only to get back a good name......
Meng Duan's empty glove white wolf is really beautiful!
Zhu Han thought for a while and said to Meng Duan: "Well, your method is good, let those gentlemen work on a temporary basis...... We can make a supernumerary staff and calculate their salaries according to the expenses of ordinary people, and as for how these salaries can be used, I believe you should have a way. ”
Meng Duan nodded: "Well, as long as Your Majesty agrees, I can handle the rest of the matter, and I will never cause trouble to His Highness and His Majesty." ”
"Hmm."
Zhu Han really likes this old liar very much, he has the ability to do things, he is not non-formalistic in doing work, and the lower limit is relatively low, Daming needs such a talent now.
Zhu Han said to Meng Duan: "You do a good job, if Your Majesty knows your merits, maybe he will also add some burdens to you." ”
"Yes!"
Meng Duan didn't expect that he, an old liar, would be able to continue to rise.
A few days later, Zhu Yuanzhang came to Zhu Han to eat barbecue, Zhu Han told Zhu Yuanzhang about this incident as a joke, and directly laughed at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Ahem!"
Zhu Yuanzhang wiped his mouth, and then said: "Meng Duan, an old liar, is quite capable, he can think of any trick, but ...... This can only be placed in Ying Tianfu, and if there is an old oilman like him in other places, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of problems. ”
"Brother, there won't be any problem, these gentlemen don't lack this salary, a good reputation will tie them up, the key is what kind of person guides them."
Zhu Han saw it more clearly than Zhu Yuanzhang, but it was just a matter of non-staff personnel, which was also common in later generations: "Meng Duan's guidance is good, if Xu Huizu and Li Qi agree with Meng Duan's way of doing things, they will use the same way in the future, and Meng Duan's step is a good thing for us." ”
"A good thing indeed."
Zhu Yuanzhang banged on the table, pondered for a while, and said, "Meng Duan, an old liar, has some ability, seventy-five...... How about we say that we should let him be promoted again and let him coordinate the relationship between the six departments? ”
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Han's hand paused, and then asked, "Brother, are you going to use a knife against the six parts?" ”
"Yes, we are ready to reform the six ministries, especially the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, their power is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more personnel, which is not a good thing, and it is a problem that the tail is not lost, you have also mentioned this matter to us before, and it is appropriate to do it now."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not hide Zhu Han, and said to Zhu Han: "Let's prepare to let Biao'er deal with this matter, Meng Duan...... It's a good candidate to help Biao'er coordinate relationships everywhere. ”
"Brother, I think we can form a cabinet."
Zhu Han finally mentioned the cabinet, "Abolish the prime minister system and reshuffle the cabinet." ”
Abolish the prime minister's system?
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard it, he agreed very much.
He had long felt that the prime minister's power was a bit big and had to be restricted, and Zhu Han's words just gave Zhu Yuanzhang a breakthrough: "What are you going to do?" ”
"Decentralization! The power of Shangshu Province is divided, and it is averaged to Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province. ”
Zhu Han said, "Shangshu Province reorganized the cabinet, responsible for the management of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Crime, and local political affairs, the Ministry of War is personally in charge of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Menxia is responsible for supervising and reviewing the work done by the Ministry of Zhongshu and the Cabinet." ”
Zhu Han didn't know much about the official system of later generations, he only knew part of it, but this part was basically enough.
"Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province and the Cabinet cooperate with each other and restrain each other, six ministries and twenty-four divisions, six Shangshu enter different departments according to the two provinces and the cabinet, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Household and Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry enter the cabinet to take charge of each department, and then the Menxia Province will review and reconsider, and finally hand it over to the brother for final decision......"
Zhu Yuanzhang listened very carefully, and he felt that Zhu Hanti's method was good.
This broke the method formulated by him and Zhu Biao, and Zhu Han's method of improving the status of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province really made Zhu Yuanzhang not expect.
"The most important point is that everyone will be much more efficient when they are separated like this."
Zhu Han said to Zhu Yuanzhang what he thought was the key point, "In the future, my brother will only be responsible for approval, which will reduce a lot of burden, and he will not be as tired as he is now." ”
Zhu Han felt that a large part of the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to use the knife against the six departments of the three provinces was because of himself.
Over the years, Zhu Han has brought a very big burden of work to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Han has ideas, Zhu Yuanzhang thinks it is good, and then it has to be implemented, the three provinces and six ministries are responsible for research and planning, Zhu Yuanzhang finds fault again, but now everything is separated, everyone is responsible for their own things, and when it comes to Zhu Yuanzhang's step, he basically gets the steps of doing things right.
"Okay, let's discuss it with Biao'er again."
Zhu Yuanzhang stretched his waist, thinking that he would not have to face so many twists and turns every day in the future, and the smile on his face showed a lot of relief: "When the time comes, we can also go to various places to have a good look, we have fought such a big world, and we haven't turned around well." ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of the two women that Zhu Han brought from Hangzhou, and immediately became interested: "Qiwu, how about the overseas women?" ”
"It's okay, it's quite obedient."
Zhu Han laughed and teased Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother, are you also ready to win glory for the country?" ”
"Go, how can there be these crooked ways, we just want to treat everyone equally." Zhu Yuanzhang was angry, and then said: "In the future, there will be more and more overseas people of our Ming Dynasty, we don't want to be like Mengyuan people, what else do we do, they are all our people, so we have to accept a few overseas concubines, let them know that we treat overseas equally." ”
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation, Zhu Han stretched out his thumb: "Brother, I was speechless for this excuse, but I don't care how you want to choose this woman, and my sister-in-law will blame me when the time comes." ”
"Are we people who are afraid of their wives?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked very manly, and said to Zhu Han: "In the palace, we have the final say!" ”
"Really?"
Zhu Han laughed.
Why don't I believe that?
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't explain, but if he found a few overseas women, he was going to decide.
It's not for yourself, it's about treating everyone equally.
As for whether Ma Xiuying will eat it, Zhu Yuanzhang thinks it won't, and Zhu Han doesn't think Ma Xiuying will be jealous, don't say anything else, just say that the concubines in Zhu Yuanzhang's harem, they have the daughters of the ministers of the dynasty, and the daughters of former Yuan officials, the women that Meng Yuan dedicated to him...... There are a lot of these women, and Ma Xiuying is not jealous, is she?
Besides, Zhu Yuanzhang is now going to spread out his leaves, the more land in the Ming Dynasty, the more heirs Zhu Yuanzhang needs, Ma Xiuying herself feels that the Ming Dynasty is the Ming of the old Zhu family, so when governing the Ming Dynasty, it is still his own children to rest assured.
This cannot be said that they are narrow-minded, it is true.
The family world, the family world, as long as the imperial system has been adopted, then it will not be able to get rid of the concept of 'home'.
The relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying, unless there is a gap between the two of them, it is impossible for anyone to separate the feelings between them.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's concubine is just for the sake of inheritance.
In Zhu Han's opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang is really tired of living, he is no longer living for himself, but for Daming, even finding a woman has to consider her identity, how much benefit can it bring to himself, what else does this mean?
However, Zhu Han also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was looking for a woman purely for the sake of inheritance, and if he was asked to choose between one woman and countless women, he might only choose one: Ma Xiuying.
This kind of loyal feeling, Zhu Han felt that it was not a good thing for the royal family, so he reminded Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother, Biao'er's East Palace is also going to accept new people, our old Zhu family needs future generations." ”
"yes, we're thinking about that, too."
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang heard that he was looking for a daughter-in-law, he immediately became interested: "A virtuous wife and a good husband have few disasters, and Biao'er's future wife, regardless of her background, must be a good daughter-in-law, and she can manage this family well like his mother." ”
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang say this, and then thinking about the general trend in history, Zhu Han has already guessed that Zhu Yuanzhang now has a candidate in his heart: "Brother, you said so much, have you already thought about what kind of mother-in-law you will find for Biao'er?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, he was not surprised that Zhu Han could say such a thing, to say that the person who knows Zhu Yuanzhang best is not Ma Xiuying, but Zhu Han, often Zhu Yuanzhang said a word, he can guess what Zhu Yuanzhang is thinking in his heart, after thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Han: "What do you think, how about meeting the eldest daughter of the Chun family?" Your sister-in-law likes her a lot. ”
Sure enough, exactly the same as in history.
"Yes, Chang Ying is good, very popular."
Zhu Han also supported this, but still said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "However, Chang Ying is simple-minded, and if you choose other ones for Biao'er in the future, you must be careful, Chang Ying is different from her sister-in-law, her sister-in-law has experienced a lot of ups and downs, and this is why she has grown up, but Chang Ying is different, she will not have the same experience as her sister-in-law." ”
Hearing Zhu Han say this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Well, when Xiaoying comes to the palace in the future, let your sister-in-law teach her more." ”
It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang recognizes Chang Ying very much and thinks that she is Zhu Biao's best partner.
The two chatted about something else, and the final topic would fall on the child, in their opinion, the child was the most important, Zhu Yuanzhang was also very concerned about Zhu Han's descendants, he said to Zhu Han: "Your child will also bring more in the future, and the Ming Dynasty will have to rely on their brothers to do things together." ”
"Brother, you don't have to force me on this, the child is the child, I am me, don't mix it up."
Zhu Han doesn't want his children to have any mission or something like that since they were young, and besides, Zhu Han can have the current ability, it is because he is a traverser, but anyone who changes will not have the current foresight.
"My child...... I won't put any pressure on them, they can do whatever they want, I won't force them, as for whether they have anyone to inherit my throne, it depends on their ability, if not, it's not a big deal to be a common man. ”
Hearing Zhu Han say this, Zhu Yuanzhang believes it, who doesn't want their children to be successful? Who doesn't want their children to be better than blue?
But Zhu Han is not this kind of person...... Including himself.
