Chongzhen Undergraduates

First of all, Zhu Youjian did not touch the original court mechanism, and the six ministries continued to be retained, but there were increases and decreases under the six ministries.For example, the Ministry of Households has the Department of Finance and Taxation, the Central Bank, and the Department of Agriculture; the Ministry of Industry has the Department of Industry, the Department of Transportation, and the Department of Water Conservancy; Department of Security; the Ministry of Officials did not make any big moves

All these institutions were added for the area north of the Yangtze River, while all the areas south of the Yangtze River remained unchanged.

Zhu Youjian is also crossing the river by feeling the stones. Anyway, the entire area north of the Yangtze River has been destroyed and rebuilt. It is easiest to carry out reforms in the rebuilt areas, and there will be no major resistance, and it will not involve too many people's interests. .

What made everyone's eyes drop the most was that Zhu Youjian's first decree was actually disarmament, and it was a large-scale disarmament.All soldiers over a certain age, a certain level, injured and disabled, and unsuitable for the development of new weapons will be abolished.

The scale of disarmament is as high as 20, and the soldiers who have been laid off must be resettled preferentially, and the resettlement place is the entire area north of the Yangtze River.In addition, the large amount of manpower needed to resume production in the entire north of the Yangtze River relied entirely on captives.

In other words, Zhu Youjian used veterans to manage the captives, and then began to attract refugees to join him.And assist in the recovery of production in these areas with some scientific and technological achievements developed in the past three years.

In addition, the second decree issued by Zhu Youjian is education reform.This time, Zhu Youjian directly and openly established the military lecture halls of various regiments, hired Guangxi wolf soldiers as martial arts instructors, promoted grassroots tactical masters of each army to be tactical instructors, and formally trained grassroots officers on a large scale.

And the Nanjing Military Academy was established, and rotation training for middle and senior officers began.Several young generals with high command attainments were transferred back to Nanjing as teachers, and even Li Dingguo, Yang Zhan, Dang Shousu, and Li Laiheng all became teachers.

The third government decree is the official system in the area north of the Yangtze River. If there are grassroots officials, then Zhu Youjian will directly recruit graduates from Gu Yanwu's training school to enrich middle and high-level officials.

With the three government orders, all the young people in Jiangnan wanted to go to Jiangbei.This is an inevitable phenomenon of any era.

After stabilizing the Jiangbei front, Li Yan took up the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of War.The northern front was divided into three theaters: Zeng Ying was still in northern Sichuan and Wu Sangui served as the commander of the fourth theater; Li Nian and Li Guo exchanged transfers, and Li Nian was appointed as the commander of the second theater in Luoyang; Li Guo was appointed as the commander of the first theater in Xuzhou; Mu Tianbo was transferred to Nanjing and became the commander of the Nanjing Garrison and the admiral of the Nine Gates; Deng Zhirong officially became the commander of the Black Banner Army.

In the personnel adjustment of the army, the most surprising thing is the few generals who can fight the most: Li Dingguo, Shi Lang, Dang Shousu, and Li Laiheng are all only teachers of the military academy, and they were hidden by Zhu Youjian.

In Zhu Youjian's words: "You guys, hurry up and marry a wife in Nanjing, settle down and have a son. Be a teacher when you have time."

In fact, everyone knows that the battle of Ming Dynasty is far from over, and these people must be kept by Zhu Youjian for future use.

In terms of business, Princess Changping went directly to Fujian and Zhejiang, and no one knew exactly what she was doing.But it is clear that Zhu Youjian has no plans to make a big move yet.

……

"Your Majesty, there are so many construction sites, and the veteran has no money." Fang Yuegong took a thick stack of Jiangbei construction plans and didn't open them directly. He really didn't have so much money to spend.

"Didn't it be captured in the First World War in Jiangbei?" Zhu Youjian asked strangely.

"That little money is not enough for the emperor to distribute rewards and resettlement allowances for retired soldiers. There is no surplus."

Zhu Youjian thought about it carefully, and he did not directly send money to Daming after the battle between Jin and Jianghuai.After all, the spoils that Zhu Youjian can obtain are hundreds of thousands of free labor. What if the original plan was not to take large-scale captives but to kill the enemy?

That's over, except for a bunch of dead people, Zhu Youjian can't get anything, and there must be a lot of consumption and a lot of wounded.

"Didn't they seize a large number of mules and horses?" Zhu Youjian counted and calculated, except for manpower, there was only animal power left.The little gold and silver seized was obtained by the Jin soldiers massacring the people of Yangzhou.

"The emperor wants to reply to Jiangbei, does the difficulty depend on manpower alone?" Fang Yuegong glanced at Zhu Youjian and helped the emperor settle the score.

"So, there is a lot of wealth in Jiangbei?!" Zhu Youjian turned his head and began to think about it.The money has been distributed to the army, but these people are still concentrated in Jiangbei, and Jiangbei has no consumption level, which means that Zhu Youjian is stupid, giving the money to these people to hide.

"No, why do we have to find a way to make them spend their money." Zhu Youjian said to himself.

"What?" Fang Yuegong thought he heard it wrong. The emperor wanted to get back the money after sending it out. This is not the emperor, he is a money fan.

"Hurry up and tell the king of Tang that the bank should be opened in Jiangbei as soon as possible. Military deposits are welcome, and the handling fee is free. In addition, a profit will be given every year." Zhu Youjian was very happy. In this era, there is no interest on saving money. If you sprinkle some casually, I'm afraid these people won't be willing to spend a big word at all.

"What? Don't want to pay back the interest from the handling fee?" Fang Yuegong's head became dizzy for a while.

"That's right, this preferential policy is only open to soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and only silver dollars are accepted for deposit." Zhu Youjian nodded affirmatively.

What are banks? Banks are vampires and capitalists.If you don't completely release the monster bank, you won't be able to enter the era of capitalism.Zhu Youjian almost couldn't hold back and told the truth. In at most five years, these people will find that all the money in their hands has been turned into bricks and tiles or wives and children, and all the money will return to Zhu Youjian's hands.

But now Zhu Youjian is absolutely generous, because Emperor Ming is very stingy with titles and land, but he is not stingy with money at all.

To land? An idiot for such a thing.Zhu Youjian said in his heart.I won’t give you the title, but if you give me privileges, how can I bully you? I am the only one in the world who has privileges, so I can bully you as much as I want.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to run a middle school?" Huang Daozhou, the trusted minister of the Ministry of Rites, trembled excitedly. He held a school construction plan in his hand. It was just some preliminary ideas of Zhu Youjian, which had already excited the old man Huang. That's it.

"Yeah! Mengxue has been running for a year, it's time to start a middle school. Next, we will run a university to train graduate students."

"University?" Huang Daozhou couldn't imagine what it was like.

"It is a place to cultivate high-level talents."

"Like Jiangjunshan Institute of Technology?" Huang Daozhou was overjoyed. He knew how many good things the Institute of Technology had produced in the past two years.

"It's similar to the Polytechnic, but it's more refined than Jiangjunshan. And the students spend more time in school."

"Where's the money?" Fang Yuegong poured cold water again.

"This time I will use all my family assets." The family assets Zhu Youjian mentioned naturally refers to the two batches of money from Li Chuang and Zhang Xianzhong.They already have an absolute advantage, so don't use it at this time, keep the cubs!

When Fang Yuegong heard about the emperor's family background, his eyeballs glowed green, and he saw a mountain of silver appearing in front of his eyes.

Chapter 4 Nineteen: Yangzhou Ceremony

On the morning of Qingming Festival, outside Yangzhou city.

After a full month of cleaning, Yangzhou City can already be slowly inhabited.With the intervention of the government, a total of [-] captives were used to clean up all the rivers under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou Prefecture, including the sunken ship in Gaoyou Lake and the bodies of all victims in the canal, all of which were processed and salvaged.

And just outside the city of Yangzhou, the place where the most refugees were killed, in the place near the river, stood a tall stone monument.The stone tablet is seven feet high, and the inscription on the inscription is covered by a black cloth, so no one passing by knows what it is for.

The front of the stele faces Yangzhou City, and there is a square directly in front of it. The square is paved with the latest cement floor, which looks extraordinarily flat.The place has been cleared since last night, and the surrounding area is full of soldiers.

When dawn was light and the stars in the eastern sky were receding, the south gate of Yangzhou City opened wide.Cheng Xianzhen, the new magistrate of Yangzhou, took the lead and walked out of the city. Behind him were the white flowers of Yangzhou people.

Black clothes, Bai Xiao, funeral procession.

There is no blowing and blowing, only paper money flying in the sky and wreaths stretching for miles.Everyone wears mourning, holds a spirit tablet, bows his head and sobs.

Zhu Youjian led the main officials of various ministries in Nanjing to stand not far away watching the funeral procession in Yangzhou City.

The prince and princess were standing beside Zhu Youjian, trembling all over.Since the prince returned to Nanjing, the emperor Zhu Youjian has neither punished nor announced his dethronement, but he has never seen him or said a word with him.

This was the first time that Zhu Cilang met Zhu Youjian after Zhu Youjian went north to rescue Li Yan's tribe.Wang Chengen was worried, and accompanied the prince to Yangzhou.

Seeing that the people in Yangzhou had arrived at the square, Wang Chengen quietly came to Zhu Cihong's side and bowed his head, saying, "Prince, it's time to change."

The prince suddenly woke up, and hurriedly pulled Shi Xiangyun to the back, where the old lady of the Shi family was crying and fainting in the carriage.

The common people had already stood in a square formation, and then a row of low-pitched trumpets sounded from all around, representing the royal and court teams entering the scene.Emperor Zhu Youjian was dressed in black formal attire, with a white filial cloth tied around his waist, while the prince and princess were directly dressed in sackcloth and filial piety.

With this specification, the emperor is considered to have surrendered his status, and generally only those who are directly related to the emperor will wear filial piety.When the emperor went to pay homage to ordinary people, he would at most wear black clothes to show it.

The crown prince wears filial piety because Shi Kefa himself is his father-in-law, but this filial piety also shows that his position as crown prince is in jeopardy.The prince is the king, and the king is also the king.

The ceremony begins.

Zhu Youjian didn't have so many red tapes, he walked up the steps quickly, and then tore off the big black cloth under everyone's gaze.

"Yangzhou Massacre Monument!" Eight big blood-red characters were exposed, and almost at this moment, the audience was crying and howling.
