Chapter 51: This Is the Normal Rhythm of the Early Dynasty!

On the night of the seventh day of the first month of the 34th year of Taiping, a large number of Ming vassal countries across more than half the world occurred one after another in Fengyuan.

Most of the vassal states seemed to have repented, and took the initiative to cut off the civil communication with Xiyi, and began to wait with peace of mind or take the initiative to request the withdrawal of the feudal domain.

Most of the world is in a state of sleepless nights, but the initiator Zhu Jingyuan sleeps quite soundly.

The next day, on the morning of the eighth day of the first lunar month, Zhu Jingyuan got up as usual, ate, exercised in the morning, and washed up, and then continued to rub his father's car to work in the yamen.

The old emperor asked Zhu Jingyuan not to participate in the key politics for the time being, and Zhu Jingyuan simply did not go to the palace to go to the early court, and went directly to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

Zhu Jianyan first went to the Yamen of Honglu Temple before going to the palace to go to the court.

Yesterday, the Ministry of Communications announced the news of the withdrawal of the feudal domain, and Tobe also notified that the Ryukyus had begun to try to withdraw the feudal domain, and there may be some movement in the feudal kingdom last night.

Under normal circumstances, news from the vassal state should be forwarded to Honglu Temple, unless it is submitted to a certain department by name.

Zhu Jianyan got the important telegram he received last night through the personnel on duty, and turned out more than 30 letters from the vassal country.

Some of the six letters are similar to those of the Toyohara Kingdom, and they all took the initiative to withdraw the feudal domain in the name of the vassal king.

More often than not, they came to inquire about the situation of the withdrawal of the feudal domain, and wanted to confirm the news and plan for the withdrawal of the feudal domain.

Zhu Jianyan quickly went through the contents of the telegram, took the slightly special telegram of Fengyuan Kingdom with him, and then went to the Wenhua Hall to go to the early dynasty.

Today, the princes and ministers of the last dynasty found that Zhu Jianyan was not followed by anyone, and after a few seconds of dazedness, they reacted that Zhu Jingyuan's eldest child did not follow!

At the same time as the accident, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and finally there was no disruption, and this early dynasty was finally able to settle down.

Especially Zhu Jianfeng, the whole person was obviously relaxed.

So, in a rather relaxed atmosphere, the morning of the new day officially began.

After everyone saluted, the old emperor Zhu Zhongliang noticed that there was no one around Zhu Jianyan, and immediately subconsciously asked:

"Jingyuan didn't come?"

Zhu Jianyan immediately replied:

"Tell my father, Jingyuan went directly to the Ministry of Industry to plan the design of the warship, saying that since he is not involved in government affairs for the time being, there is no need to come up to the early dynasty, he is ready to concentrate on finishing the work at hand, and then go to ...... with the progress of the reform."

The entire Wenhua Hall fell silent.

Ordinary princes really don't need to go to court every day, unless the emperor asks for it, or if they have something to do.

Although Zhu Jingyuan has set up the work of acting Honglu Siqing, but now Honglu Siqing's work is actually Zhu Jianyan doing.

Therefore, Zhu Jingyuan did not need to report on foreign affairs in the early court, and he couldn't report at all......

Since the old emperor asked Zhu Jingyuan not to get involved in government affairs these days, it is indeed normal for Zhu Jingyuan not to come to the court directly.

But this is a little too capricious, right, if you can't come, you really won't come?

Then everyone saw that the old emperor suddenly sneered:

"Does this kid still have a temper? But it's also the right way to do the work in hand first, before a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, thinking about a ...... is a "

Just muttered a few words very casually, the old emperor didn't seem to take this matter to heart, waved his hand and began to tell things:

"Regardless of him, let's start first, how is the progress in all aspects? Or start with the ministry...... Old Nine! ”

Just let it go? But speaking of which, the credit for this kid is really great, and no one will do anything to him now.

Zhu Jianfeng hurriedly put Zhu Jingyuan's matter in the back of his mind, and hurriedly got up to report the situation:

"Father Qi, after internal discussion and analysis yesterday, the officials believe that the minimum labor remuneration of craftsmen can be temporarily set at the level of six yuan silver bills.

"If both parents work, they can barely support their two children now.

"The original typical worker's pay was too low, and now a rash one-time increase is too much, which may lead to a sharp rise in prices, which in turn will affect the market and social stability.

"We plan to base on 6 yuan and gradually increase it to more than 10 yuan in the next few years to more than ten years.

"The exact amount of promotion should be determined according to market and technological developments, perhaps as a long-term policy, as a means to promote industrial development and control the market.

"At the same time, the household department should cooperate with the regulation and control of the low-level slave labor market while raising wages, so as to avoid large fluctuations in the slave labor market.

Otherwise, simply raising workers' wages may make factory owners inclined to try low-level slave labor.

This, in turn, would certainly cause the price of low-level slave labor to rise rapidly, which in turn would encourage more Ming and vassal merchants to join the slave labor trade.

"If the imperial court decides to completely abolish slavery in the future, then this situation must be avoided in advance.

"The son's suggestion is that a slave trade and possession tax could be levied, and the long-term cost of slave labor should be raised above the minimum labor remuneration."

When the old emperor heard this, he bowed his head lightly and said:

"Okay, it's quite thoughtful, then follow this direction and cooperate with the household department to implement it.

"Remember, though, that collecting taxes is the way to control the slave labor market, but it is clearly not the only way.

"As long as you can achieve the goal, you can try it after evaluating the effect."

Zhu Jianfeng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is the normal rhythm of the early dynasty:

"Erchen understands."

After Zhu Jianfeng, it was the head of the household department who stood up and reported the response of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Personnel will be arranged immediately to carry out the actual withdrawal of the feudal domain.

After listening to this, the old emperor also nodded slightly, and then looked in the direction of Zhu Jianyan:

"Second brother, are there any reactions from the other feudal kingdoms?"

Zhu Jianyan immediately stood up and reported:

"Father, Emperor Qi, from yesterday night to this morning, before the court, Honglu Temple received a total of 37 telegrams from the vassal kingdom.

Most of them were inquired about the details of the withdrawal of the feudal domain, and six of them were direct requests for the withdrawal of the feudal domain according to the Ryukyu regulations, and among them, the request of Toyohara Province was the most detailed.

"Not only the feelings of the main courtiers of the feudal kingdom, but also the feelings of King Toyohara himself......"

Zhu Jianyan roughly explained the contents of the telegram of Fengyuanguo, and then sent the telegram document to the old emperor for review and confirmation.

The old emperor took the telegram and looked at it a few times, nodded slightly and said:

"Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great.

"Proposed purpose: to set up the Fengyuan Political Envoy Division, the Fengyuan Criminal Prosecution Division, and the Fengyuan Command Envoy Division.

"Zhongdong, the former king of Fengyuan, in addition to the title of king of Fengyuan Domain, was awarded the title of Prince of Daming, recalled to Beijing to recuperate, and selected a son to serve as the political envoy of Fengyuan Zuobu.

"The imperial court selected Fengyuan as a political envoy on the right, Fengyuan raised the punishment according to the inspection envoy, and Fengyuan commanded the envoy.

"The rest of the officials in Toyobara and other places were transferred from the original officials of Toyohara State, and then continued to serve as officials of Toyohara State.

"Fengyuan and other places do not have permanent governors and governors, and the number of posts in prefectures and counties and the three divisions shall be formulated according to the actual situation, and the original county divisions shall not be changed as much as possible.

"With the cooperation of Honglu Temple, the household department, and the official department, preparations for the establishment of the three divisions in Fengyuan and other places must be ensured to ensure the safe return of the vassal king to Beijing.

"If other feudal states apply for the withdrawal of their feudal domains, they shall first review the necessity of withdrawing their feudal domains, and if it is really necessary to withdraw their feudal domains, they shall refer to the plan of the two feudal domains of Ryukyu and Toyohara for gradual implementation.

"But don't be overly eager, don't be overjoyed, and maintain stability is the first priority."

When the relevant officials heard the call, they immediately stood up and bowed down together and agreed:

"The ministers obey."

Then, under the guidance of the emperor, some things were discussed and determined, and today's morning dynasty came to an end.

When the emperor got up to leave, the princes and ministers on the scene were all relieved.

This is the normal rhythm of the early dynasty!

Under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, everyone performed their duties and cooperated with each other to control the giant ship of the Ming Dynasty and sail forward in a stable and orderly manner.

When Zhu Jingyuan, this kid, was in the court, what did he do!

All sorts of things were out of control, and he couldn't wait to get the boat straight away.

This guy seems to have actually designed the plane.

When subconsciously thinking of these things, many officials couldn't help but look in the direction of Zhu Jianyan.

Then everyone found that Zhu Jianyan, the father, is also relaxed now, and it seems that he has not been so stable for a long time.

It seems that this Second Highness usually works very hard.
