Since the founding ceremony was held on November 1 of the solar calendar last year, Dongfan Island has been renamed Dongqin Island.

The proposal to change the name also came from Yan Zheng, and the word Fan had a bit of barbarian connotation, so in order to be more Chinese, he chose to change the name to Dongqin Island.

The advantage of this name change is that it suddenly shortened the distance with the Chinese civilization, and the average Ming people often think that this is a barbarian far away from overseas when they hear about Dongfan.

Hearing Dongqin, they may not know where it is, but they will also feel that this is a place very close to Daming.

There is also a similar change in the era name, which directly changed the era name to Huaxia.

The national flag has also been raised outside the expanded Red House, and the flagpole is made of two hardwood joints, which are more than 16 meters high.

More than 100 national flags have also been sent to various friendly tribes, Yangang and Zhuqian Port, as well as various townships and towns.

Now the area around Mocheng is divided into four townships, namely Dagang, Shangcheng, Xiacheng, and Xicheng.

The remaining three townships still have only one township department, waiting for the improvement of various functional departments. And these three townships are a combination of aborigines and Ming villages.

The advantage of this is that the administration will finally be standardized. Even Dongqin Island was redivided and named by Yan Zheng according to the administrative division of Wanwan in the later world, even if the rule has not yet been established above, but he has completed the map opening!

Schools also began to be standardized, and all townships established primary schools and kindergartens, with literate farmers and senior students in the townships teaching part-time teachers.

In addition to teaching literacy, there is also mathematics, as long as the primary school learns addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, weights and measures, and binary equations, as well as basic geometric knowledge, as well as physical education and music.

There is only one middle school, which is still taught by Yan Zheng himself, and the content of the teaching is more complicated, and the middle school students have also been expanded, and now there are two classes, with a total of 110 students.

The original senior class was divided into individual groups, and while they were being taught, they also had to start some small experiments, and there were 46 of them in total.

From the perspective of the origin of students, Ming students have begun to occupy the mainstream, and Ming people have also begun to enter all walks of life, especially the textile industry, and the Ming population has far exceeded the aborigines.

……

On January 15, the first year of Huaxia, after completing the annual leave, Yan Zheng held a cabinet meeting for the new year in the Privy Council.

The Privy Council and the House of Representatives are located on either side of the Red Room, both of which are extensions, and the House of Representatives was first used as a classroom for secondary schools because there were no people yet.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yan Zheng appointed five cabinet ministers, who were selected as Ah Ku, Ah Xin, Wang Qimei, Qiu Ruicai, and Chen An.

According to the constitution, the five ministers of the cabinet will form the court house together with half of the ministers in the Privy Council, but the current Privy Council, only the head and the rest of the cadres who have been promoted, and the institutions are only the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Commerce, which are responsible for the daily compilation of data.

So the current scene is that the five ministers and Yan Zheng can decide all the major events. To be clear, the monarch can decide everything at this time.

However, there is still progress, for example, Yan Zheng is now preparing to train legal talents in the Law Academy, as long as there are some talents who are familiar with the process and the law, the judiciary will be able to become independent immediately.

Yan Zheng, who was promoted to the monarch, was still wearing a black tunics with four pockets, he sat firmly at the big table, looked at the courtiers below and smiled: "Everyone is here!" The first meeting of the year was mainly to discuss this proposal! ”

As she spoke, Lan Ya on the side began to distribute a document, and all the participants began to read it.

At the beginning of the whole document are four big words - Liu Bei's plan.

The specific content is that a lot of resources will be invested in the future to establish a convergence point in Daming, and to absorb the population in Daming in a targeted manner.

After everyone read it, they all looked at the monarch one after another.

Yan Zheng said with a smile: "After several years of construction, our foundation has been very solid, the reason why Liu Bei planned to launch is that the source of the population has always been in the hands of others, and the current population is still too small, so I decided to take the initiative." The key point of this plan is to find the right group of people, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort! ”

"My idea is that this kind of crowd has to be close to the coast, to the port, so that we can easily gather it. The second is this group of people, they must be living in the Ming Kingdom, and it is best to have no dignity and hope, as long as this kind of people give him a little benefit, it is easy to be willing to follow us! ”

"Everyone can express their opinions, it's best to think about ideas, and strive for Liu Bei's plan, which can be carried out as soon as possible."

Everyone thought about it, and the participants who were obviously of Ming origin would have more to say in this plan.

After a while, Ah Ku got up and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I don't think there is a problem with this Liu Bei plan, but I have seen it, according to the output of last month, once this hematopoietic plan is launched, then my country's monthly output will serve it, is this not good for our construction?" You know, now we can't take food from the people at will, at very low prices. ”

Yan Zheng waved him to sit down and explained: "Last month's output is not of reference significance, the coal mine road has been built, and the first batch of coal arrived in Meaux five days ago, and after testing, it was found to be high-grade lignite. In the future, there will be more and more coal, and our monthly output will also take a big step! So what restricts us is about to become a population! ”

Ah Ku nodded, as an aborigine, he had no more doubts.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Qimei also stood up, she bowed and said: "I have no objection to this plan, for the population to be collected, I think it should be given priority to the Tan households, there are many Tan households along the coast, some are fishermen, some are pirates and bandits, but in general, they live a very hard life, and they are inferior, which is very suitable for your conditions!" ”

Yan Zheng smiled and said, "I know that they are naturally the key group of people to be gathered!" Not only the Tan households, but also the happy households, military households, and artisan households, as long as they are inferior in the Ming Dynasty, they are the objects of our united front! ”

Wang Qimei said: "I have also seen before, some landlords and businessmen will go to the village to recruit some villagers. Therefore, many villagers are willing to work and make deeds, as long as it is not a busy farming season, these people wish someone hired them to work! As long as we have a name over there, we can do so! ”

Yan Zheng nodded and said, "This is also an idea!" Merely...... It's just that it's better to find a comprador to do it! ”

"Your Majesty! There's just one that I find a little difficult to do! Qiu Ruicai, who was in the last seat, suddenly got up and said.

"That one?"

"As far as the king said, along the coast of Daming, a number of convergence points have been established. This one, I'm afraid that the Ming government will not allow it! Qiu Ruicai arched his hand.

"Is it the law of the Ming Dynasty that you can't abduct good people to go overseas?" Yan Zheng asked.

Qiu Ruicai shook his head and said: "Your Excellency may not know that the officials of the Ming Kingdom are most afraid of two things!" The first is that the tax cannot be escorted up, and the second is that there are people gathered. If it's just a few dozen people, it's fine, but if someone deliberately gathers a few thousand, it will inevitably arouse the government's idea! Just like the resettlement of disaster victims, the government will not allow such a large number of people to gather. ”

Yan Zheng raised his eyebrows and thought for a while and said, "Is it okay to bribe?" ”

"Your Majesty!" Qiu Ruicai smiled bitterly: "As soon as the word "civil change" came out, the local chief official dropped not only the black gauze hat, but also the head!" ”

Yan Zheng understood, in a word, he was afraid of instability, so many people gathered together, even if you have a legitimate name, it is enough to attract the attention of the government.

Thinking of this, he felt that it was right to enter Qiu Ruicai into the cabinet.

Through several months of observation, it has been found that Qiu Ruicai has a fairly good understanding of the Ming society, which is different from the understanding of the small people.

And I also have a heartfelt love for mathematics, and people are more introverted, so it doesn't hurt to promote and use it.

Yan Zheng looked at him and said, "What do you think of the storage point on a small offshore island?" ”

Qiu Ruicai shook his head and said, "I don't know, but maybe you can give it a try!" ”
