Of course, Liu Zongzhou, as a loyal minister of the Dead Festival, left his name in history, and his goal was achieved. But compared with Zhang Huangyan and other heroes who have repeatedly failed, persevered, and died, it is far from it.

As for the distinction and comparison between "martyrdom" and "martyrdom", Zhu Youxiao prefers to use Liu Zongzhou and Zhang Huangyan as representative figures.

As Zhu Youxiao expected, the next day, the resignation was all over the table, mainly those civil officials who defended Li Sancai, and Zhang Heming, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who was shameless.

The noon gate shows the stolen goods, the music is all pasted, the emperor is slapped in the face like this, and many civil officials who claim to be high can't stand it.

It's good that I can't stand it, I resign to give you some face, and if you don't resign, you will be dismissed!

Zhu Youxiao didn't bother to read the text inside, so he asked Liu Ruoyu to sort out the list, and after scanning it, he came to a batch of approval.

Not to mention just these people, if you get out of a few batches, the court will be quieter, and the country can operate as usual.

Cut, there are really shameless people, I don't want to give you some decency, so it's no wonder I'm not welcome.

Seeing that there were still officials who defended Li Sancai who did not submit their resignations, Zhu Youxiao despised it, but he would not show mercy to his subordinates.

"Proposed purpose, Sun Chengzong, a scholar of Dongge University, will take over as the secretary of the military department."

"It is proposed that Tao Lang, the governor of Denglai, will first resign from his post and enter Beijing and take over as the secretary of the ministry."

"Li Zongyan, the secretary of the quasi-household department, told the old man to return to his hometown, added a small guarantee, gave a bounty, and sent it to pedestrians."

"Li Qiyuan, the left waiter of the promotion department, is the secretary of the household department."

"Draft, Yuan Shizhen's resignation is not allowed, so he will continue to stay in office, increase the title of household squire, and give him a bullfighting uniform."

"Proposed purpose, Lu Shanji, the director of the Ministry of War, will be appointed as the inspector of the Guangdong and Fujian salt laws, and the Guangdong and Fujian salt administrations will be sorted out."

"Proposed purpose, Zhaoqing Mansion official Deng Shiliang was promoted to Guangdong Chengxuan Political Envoy Department Zuobu Political Envoy."

"An edict was issued to commend Wei Zhongxian, the commander of Dongchang, and the third class of Jiaen."

Zhu Youxiao felt that he was becoming more and more handy in handling government affairs and arranging officials. This all depends on the fact that he often looks at the performance and the resume of officials, so that he can find capable officials and talents.

For example, this Yuan Shizhen, who is only a four-grade official, put forward the "Ten Discussions on the Salt Law" and launched a simple and long-term mechanism - "Outline Law".

After the implementation of the "Program Law," remarkable results have been achieved. At the end of that year, 700,000 taels of salt tax was handed over to the household department. Shenzong rewarded Yuan Shizhen by one level and retained him.

From the end of Wanli 45 to the present, Yuan Shizhen has been in charge of the salt administration in Lianghuai for four years, rescuing the salt government crisis, the merchants are convenient, the people benefit, and the salt tax has increased.

can pay a million in salt tax a year, isn't this a capable minister?

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao felt that this "outline method" seemed to be still used in the Qing Dynasty. In other words, this salt system was inherited by the Qing Dynasty and has been influenced for hundreds of years.

So, he carefully read Yuan Shizhen's outline and couldn't help but be surprised.

This is a great innovation, and this is a very bold reform!

It was an epoch-making historical change from the on-site monopoly system of civil system, official revenue, official sales, commercial transportation, and commercial sales established in the Western Han Dynasty to the commercial monopoly system of civil system, commercial revenue, commercial transportation, and commercial sales.

As for some people's impeachment, in Zhu Youxiao's view, it is an outbreak of pink eye, and some people covet the fat difference of "sorting out the two Huai salt laws", and want to conspire to bring down Yuan Shizhen.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao not only praised Yuan Shizhen, but also promoted the implementation of the outline law, and even removed those bastards who sprayed indiscriminately.

And Deng Shiliang, the magistrate of Zhaoqing Mansion, is not well-known, but his contribution, Zhu Youxiao believes that it can change history.

In the first year of Taichang, a British East India Company ship "Unicorn" sank in the waters of Yangjiang, Guangdong Province due to a typhoon.

Deng Shiliang heard that there were Western artillery on this ship, so he looked for someone who was good at water. Subsequently, he donated money to hire a husband and craftsman, designed a twist, and used the "Cao Chong Elephant" method to fish for 36 Hongyi cannons.

Hu Yingtai, the governor of Liangguang, transported 24 of these artillery pieces to Beijing in the first year of the Apocalypse, and stored the rest in the Zhaoqing Prefecture Ordnance Bureau.

These cannons became the first batch of Hongyi cannons obtained by the Ming Dynasty. In addition to leaving a dozen wing-guarding divisions, eleven of them were transported to Liaodong.

The eleven artillery pieces transported to Liaodong were arranged in Ningyuan in history and played a huge role in the Battle of Ningyuan.

Others were disdainful of Deng Shiliang's fishing for the red artillery, how could Zhu Youxiao be indifferent?

Not to mention anything else, how much silver are these thirty-six Hongyi cannons worth? How much can it contribute to speeding up the construction of the navy and enhancing the combat strength of Liaodong?

And judging from the process of fishing for guns, Deng Shiliang is not a nerd who reads dead books. Although the official is not big, he is erudite and talented, and he is of great use.

At present, Sun Chengzong of the Ministry of War, Tao Langxian of the Ministry of Officials, Li Qiyuan of the Ministry of Households, Xu Guangqi of the Ministry of Industry, and Zhu Youxiao have mastered these key departments with people they can trust, and have preliminarily completed the plan of forming their own teams.

Reform requires a bureaucracy that can function according to its own will. One person can't do it, not even the emperor.

Of course, this is only the first step, but it can already allow Zhu Youxiao to start the reform plan, although it is only a small step.

Most of the dynastic changes in history have two main internal causes, that is, the loss of popular support and political corruption.

There are many problems in the Ming Dynasty, but if the main two are solved, Liaodong Jiannu is just a disease of scabies, and it will not be able to shake the huge empire at all.

Political corruption has already begun to curb party strife and punish corruption, and it is also about to begin to lose the support of the people.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, the people's requirements are really not much, they are just full. And to be fed, land is the key.

Judging from the population of the Ming Dynasty at that time, it is obvious that the amount of land can no longer realize "the cultivator has his land". What is even more fatal is that the land is still concentrated in the hands of a very small number of gentry landlords.

Zhu Youxiao could not add empty land to the land, and the development of industry and commerce to solve the surplus population could not be effective in the short term, and it was even more impossible to expand externally for the time being.

But by choking the exploitation of the landlords and gentry, and giving the more poor tenant peasants a breath of breath and a few more full meals, he thought he could still do it.

Do unto others as you would have them do to you. Be strict with yourself and self-introspective.

Since Qingliu is always staring at the royal family, how about starting from the Huangzhuang, where the people have a lot of grievances, and slashing himself and setting an example for them?

Next, the edict will be issued, starting from one government and one place, and implementing it nationwide, and I will have the confidence to arrest and kill those who violate the law and do not obey it, so I don't want to say anything and punish without teaching.

Zhu Youxiao took out the charter he had written, handed it to the eunuch, and ordered it to be taken to the Royal Printing Office and published in the newspaper.

The royal family has everything, not only can make wine, pickle vegetables, make sauce and vinegar, but also have a printing office, and can also contract business with foreign parties.
