Daming Military Empire

Chapter 479 Adding Yamen
Discussions on the reorganization of the court are still going on. The reason why Zhu Cijiong released the news a few days in advance is to let everyone think about how to make reasonable changes and how to make the court more efficient.

The big bosses of each yamen are not the generation of corpses and vegetarians. Naturally, what the opponents are responsible for is very clear. They also have their own ideas about the reorganization plan, so Zhu Cijiong clicked all the way, and everyone spoke positively.

Next, it was the turn of Sun Yuanhua, Shangshu of the Ministry of War. Seeing the encouraging eyes of the emperor, he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that the functions of the Ministry of War are very complicated, such as the distribution and management of weapons and equipment, the allocation and distribution of food, grass and supplies. Storage, the drills and operations of the army corps, and the drills and operations of the navy corps should all be separated, and it is most reasonable for the Ministry of War to only manage military registration and military orders.”

Zhu Cijiong heard the words, nodded in approval and said: "Well, what Chu Yang said is right, I will consider these things in the future."

Next, it was Cai Bangjun’s turn to be Taichang Temple Minister Cai Bangjun. The functions of the Five Temples are relatively single, and there is no need to split them up. It’s just that there is a shortage of personnel due to the development of Ming Dynasty, so Cai Bangjun only asked for additional personnel, and No separation of functions is suggested.

Zhu Cijiong simply concluded: "Well, let's not talk about the five temples. They are all short of personnel. You all draw up a charter and I will give you an approval as appropriate."

Next, he looked at Cheng Guoxiang, Minister of the Ministry of Accounting. This Ministry of Accounting is the focus of this reorganization, because they should be the most overwhelmed.

Sure enough, when Cheng Guoxiang saw the emperor's eyes, he immediately clasped his hands eagerly and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that the reorganization of the Ministry of Household Affairs is urgent. In the past few years, the number of provinces in the Ming Dynasty has tripled, and the number of officials has almost tripled." times, taxes have more than tripled, and various expenditures have also increased several times. These household departments alone are a bit too busy, and there are merchants in Ming Dynasty and merchants from outside. No one goes to them at all. Guan, therefore, Weichen feels that the Ministry of Households not only needs to add more staff, but also separate the management of taxes from the management of merchants, and only focus on managing the expenditure of the imperial court."

Hearing this, Zhu Cijiong couldn't help admiring: "Well, what Zhongruo said is very good. Next, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Zhan Shifu, and Imperial Academy will increase personnel and positions, so I won't talk about it here. You draft the articles of association. Come up, and I will give you a reply. All my lovers are selfless, do not fight for power and profit, and only want to do things well and improve the efficiency of the court. All the yamen are reorganized, otherwise everyone is busy mobilizing, wouldn't the entire court be in chaos?"

He said the last sentence in a joking tone, and everyone present naturally smiled cooperatively, and the whole scene became more harmonious now.

Immediately afterwards, he pretended to be mysterious and said: "So, which yamen should be added first?"

Having said that, he deliberately stopped, smiled and looked at the big brothers present, as if he wanted them to make suggestions.

Everyone has never considered this question. Wouldn't it be different which department is added first and which department is added later?

Judging from the emperor's expression, the effect must be different, so which departments should be added first?

Zhu Cijiong naturally has an answer to this question, and he immediately guided: "Water can carry a boat and capsize it, everyone knows this, right?"

Isn't this nonsense?I didn't even know that I could still be admitted to Jinshi and become an official!
Zhu Cijiong continued: "Since Qin Shihuang ruled China, how many dynasties have there been? Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Two Jins, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, Song, Yuan, Ming, how many dynasties have there been? Then the reasons for the change of dynasties What is it again?"

This problem is a bit complicated. It seems that when each dynasty changes, not only a little thing happened, but basically a lot of things accumulated together to cause the demise of a dynasty.

Moreover, looking at the emperor's posture, he didn't intend to ask anyone to answer. The old man wanted to ask and answer for himself, so none of the bosses present opened their mouths. They just looked at the emperor with all their attention, as if they were listening to the teachings.

Sure enough, Zhu Cijiong immediately said again: "No matter what causes the collapse of a dynasty, every time a dynasty changes, there is basically one thing in common, that is, the people are in dire straits! If they don't rebel, they can't survive. You say they will Wouldn’t it be counterproductive? If everyone lives in prosperity, who would want to cause chaos in the world?”

It's so weird that the emperor actually talked about the issue of rebellion. The people below were all dumbfounded. However, it seems that what the emperor said makes sense. Everyone is living a good life. Who would think of rebellion!
Zhu Cijiong finally concluded: "Therefore, the people of Li are the foundation of the country. Only when the people of Li live in prosperity and live and work in peace and contentment can a dynasty enjoy long-term peace and stability. Moreover, the richer the people, the stronger the country will be, and foreign insults will never be imposed on it."

Now everyone understands the meaning of the emperor, the Yamen that can make people's lives rich should go first.

So which Yamen is it?There is no need to ask, it must be the Ministry of Households, and everyone's eyes can't help but look at the Minister of the Ministry of Households, Cheng Guoxiang.

Cheng Guoxiang is terrified, why are you all looking at me?
Fortunately, the emperor didn't look over, Cheng Guoxiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, how to make the people's lives rich, this proposition is really too big, let him answer, how will he answer!

Cheng Guoxiang breathed a sigh of relief, but Huang Daozhou broke out in a cold sweat because the emperor was staring at him.

He was flustered, Your Majesty, if you don't ask so many big bosses, why are you looking at me?I don't know how to answer this question!

The reason why Zhu Cijiong stared at Huang Daozhou was not because he wanted to come up with any ideas, he was just organizing his words. After staring for a while, he finally said: "To make the people of Li people live well, they must first learn how to make money , if you don’t know a single word in Dou Da, and you only know how to farm, you may have no problem eating enough, but it will be difficult to make a fortune.”

When everyone heard the words, they all nodded thoughtfully. All of them were farming with their heads down. It was true that they could only fill their stomachs. If they were to say they were rich, they were still far from it!
Zhu Cijiong then called the name and said: "Youxuan has done a good job in this area, so I decided to first set up a Ministry of Education, with Youxuan as the secretary, responsible for the enlightenment education, skill education, imperial examination teaching and the promotion of Sinology for all the people. .”

Huang Dao, who was scared to death a second ago, heard this on Monday, and fainted without excitement. What a leap from a nominal third-rank Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi to a second-rank Shangshu. The most important thing is to let him He is still in charge of the teaching work that he is most familiar with, this is simply a department tailored for him!

In fact, Zhu Cijiong thought about adding a new yamen just to arrange a position for him, and then he thought about the current situation of the court's yamen. It can be said that the reason for the reorganization of the court was to create a tailor-made yamen for him.

Of course Huang Daozhou didn't know this, he just felt that the emperor was so kind to him, even if the emperor asked him to jump into the hot oil pan immediately, he would jump into it without hesitation!
