Last time, it was mentioned that Emperor Chongzhen and his courtiers discussed a lot of things at the "court meeting", while Xu Guangqi proposed a long-term plan to the emperor with concern for the country and the people.

"Your Majesty! Lao Chen thinks that since the position of 'Ministry of Works' is undecided, why don't some doers take turns? Xu Guangqi said cautiously: "Lao Chen thinks that Western missionaries are very suitable, such as Matteo Ricci, Weichen's teacher, after all, since ancient times, they have been virtuous and do not avoid relatives." ”

"Haha, you, you, you're quite straightforward, right?" Emperor Chongzhen sat on a high position, looked around at the ministers in the hall and said, "What do you think Aiqing?" ”

"Your Majesty!" "The emperor thinks twice!" "Yes, has the emperor forgotten that the sage has a cloud: 'If it is not my race, its heart will be different'? The ministers were shocked.

"Haha, I am the king of a country, and I only respect heaven, earth, ghosts, gods, and ancestors. If the cloud of the saint is useful to me, I will honor him, otherwise, I will ...... Hey. Emperor Chongzhen disagreed: "Emperor Taizu has a cloud: 'Hu Jun is virtuous and can govern China'." In the same way, why can't I let the Hu people use it for me? ”

"Uh...... This, although the emperor is reasonable, but the Western ghosts are not Hu people, but cats, dogs, pigs, sheep, these animals have changed, otherwise how can they have high noses and deep eyes? Or is it red-haired and red-haired? Many ministers stared at the vacant seat of the "Ministry of Industry Shangshu" and shouted: "What's more, Western ghosts are not grammatical, tyrannical, bullying, and do not pay attention to morality, and the evil gods they respect lie that they are the only ones in the universe and despise the imperial power, so they say that ghosts cannot be regarded as people, but only demons!" ”

"Uh...... Colleagues, this is a bad statement! Xu Guangqi saw that many ministers of the "Donglin Party" swarmed up to attack, so he frowned and argued: "Westerners believe in God and pursue 'truth, goodness and beauty', what is the crime? And your colleagues keep saying that you want to be a humble gentleman, but how many people can really do practical things? ”

"You? Xu Guangqi, you are talking nonsense! "What does Xu Dashangshu mean by this? Do you look down on my colleagues? "That's it, messing around with ghosts all day long, surrendering one's identity, hum! "Xu Shangshu is afraid that he thinks that I am not worthy of being a minister in the same palace, right? Chatter...... "Colleagues began to criticize Xu Guangqi.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen and his concubines sat in a high position, watching the ministers in the palace attack each other, although they were speechless, but they were not in a hurry to interrupt, after all, the emperors are good at balancing, and the best way is to let the ministers fight each other all the time, so as to avoid them uniting against the imperial power.

"Alright, Silence!" Emperor Chongzhen sat on a high position and looked around at everyone with an expressionless face: "What Zhongqing said makes sense, but no one is convinced by whom?" In that case, how about I decide to choose one of you to serve as the 'secretary of the Ministry of Works'? But I must ensure that I complete the task I have assigned! ”

"Uh...... I wonder what the emperor has instructed? The ministers will do their best, and they will not hesitate to do anything! The ministers felt that this was another good opportunity.

"Haha, you all want to wear many hats? All right! I'll give you a chance! Emperor Chongzhen suddenly smiled and said, "Next year, I will not only sweep Liaodong, but also Mongolia." As the new 'Ministry of Works', the burden on your shoulders is very heavy, if you miss the fighter, then you can only ask the law? ”

"The Ministry of Works" is known as "Da Sikong", which is the name of an ancient official. The Sui Dynasty established the "Three Provinces and Six Ministries System", and the Ministry of Industry was one of the six ministries of the ancient central government (officials, soldiers, households, rites, criminals, and workers), which was in charge of the country's tuntian, water conservancy, civil engineering, engineering, transportation, and government-run industries.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the "Ministry of Industry" consisted of four subordinate departments: the headquarters, the tun department, the Yu department and the water department. In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, the "24 departments of Shangshu" were changed to "24 Qing Officials Division", and the subordinate departments of the "Ministry of Industry" were respectively "Yingxi Qing Officials Division", "Yu Heng Qing Officials Division", "Dushui Qing Officials Division" and "Tuntian Qing Officials Division".

The "Ministry of Industry" is in charge of the country's tuntian, water conservancy, civil engineering, engineering, transportation, government-run industry, etc., the Ming Dynasty is the second product, and the Qing Dynasty is the first product. The position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is equivalent to that of the Vice Premier of the State Council in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Communications, etc.

Since the Tang Dynasty, ancient China has been following the "three provinces and six ministries system". In the Song Dynasty, it began to gradually strengthen the centralization of power, especially in the Southern Song Dynasty, which was changed to "one province and six ministries". Finally, in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor simply abolished the "three provinces" and directly led the "six departments": soldiers, rites, officials, workers, households, and punishments.

"Huh? Emperor? This...... Time is so urgent, I'm afraid ......" The courtiers were shocked when they heard it, after all, if they swept Liaodong alone, they might be able to make do with long sleeves and dance, but if they wanted to sweep the Mongolian steppe, the difficulty would be greatly increased, at least the problem of war horses and the supply of grain and grass would be difficult to solve!

"Haha, everyone. You don't dare to gamble on your future, do you? Then I'll take the roll call, hehe. As soon as the words fell, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen looked around the hall with a smile, and finally selected a six-rank petty official at the end of the rank of the court: "Lu Hongchun takes the order!" I ordered you to be the 'secretary of the Ministry of Industry', and you can take office immediately, and there must be no mistakes! "————?" Emperor? Wechen ...... Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Lu Hongchun was flattered.

Lu Hongchun is the son of Lu Zhongdian, whose ancestral home is Dongyang, Zhejiang. His official position is not high, he was the chief priest of the Ministry of Rites before, and he died a long time ago in other time and space, but in this time and space, he had to urge the carpenter to take care of him, and was arranged by Emperor Lao Tzu to Xu Guangqi to assist in the training of the new army, so as to take the opportunity to experience it to be of great use.

Since the universe is composed of multi-dimensional time and space, what happens in time and space may not happen in that time and space, and Lu Hongchun's character is Siren, the name Dongbai, and the people of Lu Zhai in Dongyang, Zhejiang. In the Ming Dynasty Wanli Ding Chou (1577 AD) in the examination of "Jinshi", the official to the Ministry of Rites Ancestral Priest in charge, after his death to give "Guanglu Temple Shaoqing".

His father, Lu Zhongtian, in the Ming Dynasty Jiajing Bingchen (1556 AD) was a jinshi, tired of officials from the second grade of the "Guangxi political envoy", once participated in the anti-Japanese war, the rescue of Hai Rui, donated funds to build the Confucian Temple and other righteous actions, influenced his son's life value orientation, and shaped Lu Hongzhi's jealousy and hatred, rather than bending and fierce character.

Lu Hongchun served as the county governor of Jingde in the sixth year of Wanli (1578). It is recorded in the "Jingde County Chronicles" that when Lu Hongchun first took office, he hoeed the strong and helped the weak, visited the people who were slippery and rampant, put them to justice, and finally reused the wide, so the people were afraid and saw virtue. This shows that Lu Hongchun is a good official and very good at governing the people.

In the ninth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1581), Zhang Juzheng, a scholar of Shoufu University (the prime minister of the dynasty), ordered the implementation of the "one whip" law throughout the country, but Lu Hongchun found that the "one whip" law was "convenient for officials and not for the people; It is convenient for the city, not for the countryside; It is convenient to rush complicated, not convenient to be simple".

Therefore, Lu Hongchun wrote an article entitled "On Current Affairs" based on feedback from various localities, pointing out that the "one whip" law had the defects of "ten inconveniences" and vigorously opposing the popularization and implementation of this law throughout the country. Although from the perspective of historical development, Lu Hongchun's move is biased, but his concern for the country and the people can be seen.

In fact, Lu Hongchun's "One Whip Law" was only worried because the imperial court forcibly "monetized" the wealth of the people in order to facilitate the collection of taxes, but he did not know that this move greatly facilitated the deep exploitation of the people by the landlords' old wealth and bureaucratic capital, and even evolved to the level of "financial capital", that is, "usury".

In addition, the currency of the Ming Dynasty has been completely "silverized", and the rich people in order not to depreciate or even increase the value of wealth, they are accustomed to burying a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry in the ground and hiding it, leaving only a small part of it into the market circulation, so as to cause "grain cheapness hurts the peasants" and "deflation", which indirectly triggers the financial crisis of the imperial court, because with the shortage of silver, the imperial court does not have enough "money" to maintain the operation, so it has to double the pressure of the people, and finally the officials force the people to rebel and bury themselves!

In the thirteenth year of Wanli (1585), Mingshenzong loved Concubine Zheng Guifei and couldn't stand the "pillow wind" and abandoned the order with love. As a result, Mingshenzong canonized Zheng Guifei as the "imperial concubine", and tried to create the fact that the son is valued by the mother, and wants to do the thing of "abolishing the elder and establishing the young". However, many courtiers disagreed with this.

Lu Hongchun was appointed as the "chief priest of the Ancestral Hall of the Ministry of Rites" at that time, in charge of the sacrificial ceremonies, and the edict was canonized, and he also opposed Shenzong's move, and played "Please and Feng Concubine Shu", suggesting that the emperor should appoint the crown prince as soon as possible, so as to prevent the brothers from competing for the throne and causing a tragedy, which is not good for the country. So, the Divine Sect adopted the suggestion.

In the second year (1586), Lu Hongchun once again played the "Dispatch of Officials to Sacrifice on Behalf of the Emperor", pointing out that the emperor should not send officials to worship the temple instead of himself, and mentioned that "the monarch should be cautious and cautious in governing the country; On the one hand, you must not indulge in the deep palace boudoir, and on the other hand, you must cover yourself with gorgeous and wonderful edict articles;

The emperor should take the society of the country as his mind, and not seek temporary pleasures and leave endless troubles, so as to ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment, the country will have long-term peace and stability, and there will be a real peaceful and prosperous era. ”

Because Lu Hongchun's "Sending Officials to Sacrifice on Their Behalf" directly pointed to the disadvantages of the times, and hit the crux of Zhu Yijun's indulgence in alcohol and insolence in political affairs. As a result, Emperor Shenzong was furious, imposed a great punishment with a court staff, dismissed Lu Hongchun from his official position, and ordered that he would never be used, and finally ended Lu Hongchun's political life.

In that time and space, Lu Hongchun was not able to show Xue until he died, in fact, because he was too upright and responsible, and he didn't know how to act and beat around the bush at all, and made the emperor ugly in front of him, so he played himself to death! However, on this plane, he had a lot of luck because he met a carpenter.
