my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 575 The Wind Has Changed
Those who can be bestowed are all close ministers, and the imperial flying fish suit that Zhu Di said actually needs third-rank military officials to have a chance to be bestowed.

Naturally, Xia Xuan is not a third-rank official, even if he has made great contributions, he is not a third-rank official.

It's just... once the emperor confers, even if not now, then in the future, this person will be exhausted. As long as the person can still dance, after five or ten years, he can probably accumulate qualifications and achievements, and be promoted to the third rank up.

Zhu Di has always been generous in making meritorious officials, and this is what Zhang Anshi admires.

To a certain extent, it is difficult for Zhu Di to succeed because Zhu Di has never been stingy in rewards, and everyone is willing to follow him.

Anyone who picks and picks a little, to put it bluntly, puts his head on the waistband of his trousers and follows a vassal king like Zhu Di to rebel. There is no super high income, and only fools follow Zhu Di.

Even Zhang Anshi is willing to follow Zhu Di and work hard. Of course, this hard work will have some emotional elements as a time traveler.On the other hand, it's... Don't look at Zhu Di who is always cursing, has no quality to speak of, and loves money like his life on weekdays, but when it comes to critical moments, His Majesty is really willing to give it, and it will always exceed the usual specifications. Give it when you say it, without frowning.

Xia Xuan is busy thanking you.

Not long after, Na Yishiha came back and took a gift. Because it was inconvenient to change clothes in this hall, Zhu Di simply put the gift on Xia Xuan's body.

Xia Xuan was quite moved, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Di only smiled, but turned to Xie Jin and said: "Others, the rewards must be increased, and the hearts of the righteous people must not be chilled! Nobles and officials, even the righteous people who accompany the army, have no credit but hardships. Those who work hard should also be given money, the money... will come out of my internal funds, and now that people's hearts are in my hands, it's time to give those scholars and gentry some color."

After a pause, Zhu Di continued: "All the backbones involved in the rebellion have all confiscated their property. The three generations of relatives are abundant in Xinzhou. The leader will be beheaded to show the public. The rest of the ignorant people can be appeased. The land that the New Deal should give should also be integrated. Colleagues! As much as others give, they will give as much."

"Last time, Yang Qing asked me to give amnesty to the world. At that time, I thought it was not the right time, but now, the time has come. I decreed amnesty. Except for the leader of the bandit, the rest of the rebels are all innocent."

As soon as this remark came out, even Yang Rong couldn't help admiring him, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhu Di said: "I am not a sage, but what Zhang Qing said is correct. In the eyes of the soldiers and civilians, the imperial court can only think of them except for collecting food and corvee. On weekdays, they ignore them. Now they are being killed by thieves." Coercion, isn't this the law of nature?"

"Instead of criticizing these ignorant people, it is better to think about it carefully. There have been so many negligence in the past dynasties. There are countless virtuous ministers in ancient times, but no one is willing to truly educate the people, but only cares about collecting taxes and letting people's livelihood go. .Since that’s the case, then what’s wrong with these coerced people?”

After all, Zhu Di said again: "The implementation of the new policy is not only imperative, but also the promotion of public schools in prefectures and counties is also crucial...just..."

Zhu Di paused here, but said: "This matter, the Ministry of Rites..."

He glanced at it, intending to find Liu Guan, Minister of Rites.

It's just that the Minister of Rites is not here, so Zhu Di frowned: "Call Liu Guan."

While waiting for Liu Guan, he naturally talked about some details of the public school.

It is nothing more than using the school buildings of county schools and government schools in various places to renovate. The teachers are ready-made, and they are only the syllabus, but they are also the most important thing. Repair.

And the one who takes the lead in this matter must be presided over by the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Don't underestimate the simple syllabus, but in fact, this kind of syllabus that promotes the world determines the knowledge and content taught by this public school, and it cannot be sloppy.

In the end, it fell on Xie Jin to preside over the matter.

Since Xie Jin is a great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, the most important thing is that he has rich experience in presiding over the compilation of books. He presided over the compilation of the great literature of the Yongle Dynasty, which is the famous Yongle Canon in later generations.

At this time, Liu Guan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came to see him.

As soon as Liu Guan entered the palace, he saluted, Zhu Di glared at him: "Do you know why you are called to see me?"

Liu Guan's heart trembled, and he couldn't figure out the holy meaning for a while, so he kowtowed: "I will die."

Zhu Di couldn't help being both angry and funny, and said: "I called you here for one thing only, which is to urge the school officials all over the world to make arrangements for the children of soldiers and civilians in prefectures and counties all over the world to study."

After finishing speaking, Nu Nuzui also lost his understanding, took the charter presented by Zhang Anshi, and sent it to Liu Guan.

Liu Guan was both suspicious and relieved at the same time. He thought... he was being impeached again for being corrupt and breaking the law.

Immediately, after looking at it carefully, Liu Guancai said cautiously: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, I'm afraid we will have to add more academic officers."

Zhu Di said: "Isn't the original education, politics and instruction insufficient?"

Liu Guandao: "The original academic officers are actually just dealing with some famous scholars in the local area. They only undertake the education, but not the responsibility of education, so it is completely sufficient. But if we follow this charter, Things are different, there needs to be an academic officer in charge of affairs, an academic officer in charge of assessment, an academic officer in charge of teachers' money and food, someone in charge of the school building, and...inspectors...all these things, I'm afraid It is not enough to rely solely on teaching instructions, at least there must be left and right teachers, and there must be master books and pawns."

He said a lot in one breath, and said: "Not only that, but also a lot of clerks are needed. If we talk about it in a humble way, the number of school officials will be increased several times. Only the local public schools... may be able to do so for the time being." There can only be one place, but in the future...it's hard to say, how can a public school converted from a mere county school be able to supply the children of the whole county? What's more, the situation in many counties is different. Yes, there are high mountains as barriers, Your Majesty, you can’t teach your children to trek across mountains and rivers to study, so maybe there is only one public school today, but if we really want to achieve what the regulations say, all the children of soldiers, civilians, workers and peasants from all over the world will go to school. A county can’t do without three, five, or even seven or eight public schools. With public schools, there must be a supervisor and a principal, and someone needs to be responsible for the money and food expenses of the school, and someone needs to supervise the school’s morals and discipline. Including teachers, this...is a large amount of manpower."

He talked eloquently: "Not only that, since there is a public school in the county, there must be one in the government too, and some of these children will inevitably stand out and want to go to the university to continue their studies, so... how How about ensuring that the colleges are in contact with the public schools in the prefectures and counties? It can’t be, whoever is qualified by the colleges will be qualified, right? Therefore... If this regulation is to be implemented, it is inevitable that an additional office will be established in the imperial court to manage the colleges and the public schools. The government offices of public schools all over the country ensure that the students taught by the public schools are exactly the talents needed by the colleges, and it is necessary for the colleges to ensure the number of students enrolled in the public schools all over the country... ..."

After Zhu Di heard this, he nodded subconsciously, and said, "The Ministry of Rites has always managed academic officials, but now, how about leaving it to the Ministry of Rites?"

"Ah... this..." Liu Guan showed embarrassment, and said hesitantly: "In the past, the Ministry of Rites did manage education, and the education that could be done was not onerous. Therefore, education is indeed only one of the responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites, but now, this education has become a If the minister thinks it is inappropriate to continue to use the previous method, it is better to separate the responsibility of enlightenment and education from the Ministry of Rites and add another one. On the one hand, it shows that the court attaches great importance to it. On the other hand, it’s a little more relaxed if you specialize in it.”

"Add one?" Zhu Di glanced at Liu Guan with complicated eyes.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but feel a little speechless towards Liu Guan.

If the other ministers could expand the responsibilities of the headquarters, they would have been happy for a long time. How could they push such a good thing out?
I don't know if Liu Guan noticed everyone's expressions, but he said without changing his face: "Maybe we can add another Ministry of Education, appoint Ministers and Ministers to specialize in this matter, what do you think Your Majesty thinks?"

After hearing this, Zhu Di felt that it made sense, so he murmured, "I'll consider this matter...but what Liu Qing said really came from the bottom of my heart."

There were originally six ministries in the imperial court, but now the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and the Ministry of Railways have been added. If there is another Ministry of Education, there will be nine ministries.

But now that I think about it carefully, it is not impossible. After all, the scale of education will expand rapidly in the future, and enlightenment is only one of the responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Rites manages such a large family business, but it also needs to be responsible for the world's diplomatic affairs. And various ceremonial affairs, not to mention, the monks and Taoists in the world are also managed by the Ministry of Rites, so there will inevitably be mistakes.

The addition of a new department hall also shows that the court attaches great importance to it, which is indeed understandable.

Zhu Di said: "Zhang Qing, you should revise this charter later, refer to the suggestion of Liu Qing's family, and then hand it over to the court for discussion."

Zhang Anshi said: "I obey the order."

Zhu Di let out a sigh of relief: "The traitors of Fujian's chief envoy disappeared in a blink of an eye. If you want to come to Guangxi's chief envoy, there will be good news soon. I will take a look at other prefectures and counties in the world. Who dares to have different ambitions, since that is the case, let's quickly implement the new policy. Over the Wenyuan Pavilion, the academicians have worked hard these few days, and have a look around with the ministers, ministers, and counties in Zhili. It is necessary to look at the gains and losses of the new policies of these prefectures and counties, but also to think about how to implement the new policies in other prefectures and counties in the world, and when the time comes to draw up a general chapter, I will directly promulgate it to the world."

Xie Jinren and others accepted the order one after another.

However, Zhu Di was still worried, so he said: "The matter is settled. The only worry is this rebellion after all, but because the rebels blocked the traffic, the imperial court knew nothing about the situation of the rebels." , even the news from the factory guards cannot be communicated..."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di frowned and sighed faintly.

Even if there is a great victory, the problem is still found.

Zhu Di was worried about this, not because of the smooth flow of information, but because once the new policy was implemented and the imperial court began to manage the people in the world, then affairs would inevitably start to be busy. Anything that the imperial court is unable to respond to may bring about unpredictable consequences.

All the ministers have seen His Majesty's worries. They are all smart people. Of course, their hearts are like a mirror. Naturally, they know why the past dynasties did not directly manage the people, but instead packaged the people to the aristocratic clan, or the gentry, that is, the future generations. The essence of the so-called political power not coming down to the county is that such affairs are too complicated, and the court and the government have no time to respond in time. Many things, if they cannot be handled in time, will definitely cause disaster.

Of course, with the railway now, the situation is very good, but this rebellion still exposed many problems.

Zhang Anshi glanced at everyone's expressions, and then said: "The poor news this time is due to my negligence. I have no shirkable responsibility, and I am willing to accept the crime."

Zhu Di waved his hand: "You have contributed a lot to this rebellion. It is too late for me to reward you. What is the crime? The news is not smooth. This is something that even the king of heaven and I can't solve. What does it have to do with you? It's just this matter. It’s inevitable that it’s still a curse, and we still need to find ways to improve it.”

Zhang Anshi said: "This minister must find a way to improve."

Zhu Di just smiled, and probably understood that the Jinyiwei and the Postal Service are already well-informed and fast, at least compared to previous dynasties, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are fast, and if they want to improve, it is just a scene. .

Immediately, Zhu Di nodded, turned his head and said to Xie Jinren and others: "Zhang Qing's contribution should also be discussed. He strategized and won thousands of miles. This is also a military exploit. The court will come up with a result."

Now that the matter has been negotiated, Zhu Di also feels tired, so he will stop court.

…………

Liu Guan, who was summoned halfway, was terrified after he came out of the palace.

Ever since he returned to the Hall of the Ministry of Rites, he has been very uncomfortable. The news in the palace spread quickly, and many people in the Ministry of Rites knew about it. , was pushed out, and would rather add more halls than increase the responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites.

And Liu Guan still put on an indifferent look under the strange eyes of everyone, and he let out a long breath only when he got home.

"Brother..." As soon as Liu Guan came back, someone hurried forward.

This is Liu Guan's brother Liu Xi, who is on duty in Shangbao Prison.

"Hmm..." Liu Guan just nodded at him, looking preoccupied.

"Brother, I heard that today..."

Liu Guan smiled wryly and said: "This capital city is indeed a funnel, with wind leaking from all sides. It's only been two hours, and everyone knows the news."

But Liu Xi said: "Brother, why are you pushing such a good job? You don't know, many people... are talking about you..."

Liu Xi's face was full of confusion.

Liu Guan kept a straight face: "Are you saying that the old man is the most famous fool in the world?"

"This this this..."

"What do they know?" Liu Guandao: "It's just a bunch of stupid people."

Liu Xidao: "Actually... I don't really understand why elder brother discards such a beautiful thing like a trash."

Liu Guandao: "This is the so-called arsenic preserved by others. In the eyes of the world, so many academic officials, so many public schools, and monstrous power are in the hands of the Ministry of Rites. The old man, the Minister of Rites, naturally But take advantage of this opportunity, a rising tide lifts all boats.”

After a pause, Liu Guan continued: "They don't know that His Majesty personally asked about this matter, and this matter is included in Zhang Anshi's regulations. It can be seen that this is an indispensable part of the New Deal, and it will be the most important thing for the future court. Have you ever thought, when the time comes, how many people will stare at these things alone, and how many people will watch?"

Liu Xi became even more puzzled, and said, "Could it be... is there something wrong with this?"

"Of course not." Liu Guandao: "Such a great authority means that countless money and food have to be distributed through the Ministry of Rites. You don't even think about it. This is equivalent to adding a mountain of gold and a mountain of silver to the Ministry of Rites. For a brother, don't you think Don't you know? Brother Wei... everything else is fine, but there is one thing, he can't control his hands."

Liu Xi: "..."

Liu Guan said with a bit of aggrieved: "Every day in this mountain of gold and silver, but can't get involved in the slightest, think about it, how uncomfortable it is, it's just scratching your heart! Once you don't control yourself , that's the end."

Then, Liu Guan sneered and said: "At that time, His Royal Highness Song Wang will see our Liu family and move the money and food for this education to his own house. Will he be willing to give up? Once impeached by then, the old man will really die without a place to die." So... Many times, people have to be self-aware, some money should be taken, some should not be taken, and the pros and cons must be weighed in everything, and the profit should not make the mind faint."

After hearing this, Liu Xi nodded and said, "So that's the case, but... the eldest brother may not necessarily be on top of this..."

Liu Guan glared at him, and said angrily, "Didn't you tell me? The old man's nature is like that, and if you can't control it, you still have to ask more."

Liu Xi had no choice but to say: "Yes, yes, yes, I blame my stupid brother for talking too much."

Liu Guandao: "However... the world is building a public school... His Royal Highness Song Wang has a lot of ambition. The New Deal has reached such a point. Speaking of it, it is really unimaginable. It seems that we, the Ming Dynasty, really want to It's changed, but I just don't know... what it will look like in the end."

Liu Xi frowned and said, "Brother... isn't this torturing people?"

Liu Guan glanced at him sideways and said, "I didn't bother you, what are you in a hurry for?"

"But aren't we also heirs of poetry and books..."

Liu Guan looked at him speechlessly and said, "Poetry, you've scooped up so much money, it's already so dirty that you can't get any more dirty, and you still want to use this shit to pass down the poems and books to paste gold on the lintel? You, you, really I don’t know that I’m so powerful, and after a few days of court discussion, the old man will have to give some good advice and make some good suggestions for the New Deal and the public school..."

Liu Xi blushed, and couldn't help but said, "Why?"

Liu Huan looked at him like an idiot and said, "Of course it is to grasp the direction of the strong wind and put on a look of hard work. A few days ago, didn't someone impeach the old man for being greedy for ink? At this time, the harder you work, the more it seems that the old man is I offended people because I supported the New Deal, and it was because some people wanted to oppose the New Deal that I wanted to overthrow the old man. Now that the trend has been firmly grasped, no one will pay close attention to such things in ordinary times."
