My Daming New Empire

Martial arts and nobles have salaries.And this noble salary is not directly allocated by the imperial court, but is extracted from the noble land that is conferred by the joint belt, that is, the fiefdom. The land collects taxes as Juelu.

In the late Ming Dynasty, because the viscount and baron were too low in status and were not taken seriously, they were later canceled, but they are still retained.

To confer titles on civil servants is definitely a decision to subvert the decree. Even Zhang Fu hesitated for a while before asking, "Why do you confer titles?"

Zhang Fu took a breath, and then said: "This afternoon, His Majesty summoned half of the civil and military ministers to inspect the cave opened by Taisun in Fangshan. To confer titles."

"What is cement?"

"It is said that Taisun studied Qin Zhidao from the book of Qin, and got something occasionally. Burning stones with fire, grinding them into powder, adding water, adding sand and drying them in the shade, you can get materials that are harder than hard rocks. This thing can be used to build roads and build cities. , repair the embankment, and build houses.”

Although Zhang Fu was a little curious about the function of cement, what he was thinking about now was more about why the emperor broke the barrier of civil servants and titles this time.

Could it be that the emperor is planning to divide civil servants?

In the Ming Dynasty, literature does not participate in martial arts, and martial arts does not care about literature. This is the rule established by Taizu.That is to say, civilian officials cannot manage the military, and generals cannot talk about government affairs.

The two stood opposite each other, only Xungui was separated alone. Although he had something to do with civil and military affairs, it had no effect at all.

Different from the previous dynasties, the titles of Duke, Marquis, and Bo in the Ming Dynasty only had the title of title and food salary, and there was no feudal title.As for foreign relatives and other people who are granted titles because of their favor, they only give patents but not coupons, which is one level lower than Wu Xun.

Now the emperor is pulling civil servants to the noble class, is he trying to increase the power of nobles and relatives, and balance civil and military?

He thought for a while and asked: "After I came back, did I know that Sai Hazhi, who was originally forced to Beiping by Ji Gang, returned to the capital, and now basically controls Jinyiwei?"

Although Zhang Fu is the commander of the Jinyiwei, and his title is the deputy of the Jinyiwei, his position is a reward for him, and he is given a position of salary.

In Jinyiwei, he can't just intervene in specific affairs.Normally, he couldn't tell that when something happened, he couldn't even command thousands of households in a system, and no one would listen to him.

Zhang Fu nodded and said: "This matter is very strange. Ji Gang is arrogant and domineering, narrow-minded, but he has been completely different from the past this year. Now he basically doesn't care about Jin Yiwei's yamen affairs, but he alone pulls a A lot of people, don't know what they're doing."

The husband shook his head. He, the third younger brother, was rich and well-clothed since he was a child, and he couldn't bear hardships, but he was simple-minded. He only knew how to eat, drink and play all day long.

Although he is not officially an official of the Jinyiwei, he has to go to the Jinyiwei to report every ten days, and he is on duty for a day to monitor the affairs of the Jinyiwei.

And since he knows that Ji Gang has other plans, it has been more than a year and he still doesn't know what Ji Gang is doing, he is really stupid.

But Zhang Bo said: "Ji Gang's behavior has become more gloomy since last year. Last year, Jin Yiwei investigated the merchants of Daming's maritime trade for more than half a year, but in the end he did nothing. On the contrary, there were at least a thousand soldiers of Jin Yiwei who were arranged to leave Daming. , no trace."

Zhang Fu thought about it with some doubts, "Do you know the whereabouts of these people?"

Uncle Zhang shook his head and said, "However, Jin Yiwei has joined forces with the inner eunuch to stockpile goods in Ningbo. This matter must be related to Taisun. Yu Xian, the current guard of Ningbo City Shipping Department, was Taisun's personal eunuch before. So from my guess, Jin Yiwei... no, Ji Gang, he should have taken refuge with his grandson."

Zhang Fu sighed in surprise: "How could Your Majesty allow this to happen!"

(I recommend my friend's dangerous world masterpiece "The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty", his last book is completely ordered by Lao Yao, a new book by a master-level author, the quality of the work is guaranteed, and you will not be disappointed)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Zhang Fu followed his father to follow King Yan since he was a child, and knew Zhu Di's character very well.This is a generation of emperors with a broad mind, but at the same time, a dictator with an extremely strong desire for power.

Although under his command, whether it is civil servants or military generals, they can get a better result, the premise is that they must not exceed their authority.

Why did Yao Guangxiao hide in the Monk Temple as a monk, Si Zuo Shanshi, and why he was fighting Confucianism so badly that he didn't dare to borrow his identity? Isn't it because he was afraid that Zhu Di would suspect his scheming.

Because of contact with Xie Jin who does not belong to Zhan Shifu, or because of official business, the prince put Xie Jin into prison, and the prince was also imprisoned for half a month.

Zhu Di regards power so important, why did he change when he came to Taisun?

Now not only have all of Daming's naval forces been handed over to Taisun, but Jin Yiwei has also been handed over to him.

At this time, Zhang Fu already knew that there was definitely a temptation attracting Zhu Di, and there was a big plan brewing.

And Zhu Zhanji is the one who completed this plan.

He closed his eyes, and carefully recalled every detail of his contact with Zhu Di for many years.Because of the Annan War, he has been away from the court for five years. Although the information in all aspects is still circulating, it is completely different from contacting him in person.

Both Zhang Bo and Zhang Fu didn't dare to interrupt his thinking, they waited quietly.

Although Zhang Fu closed his eyes, he still stroked his beard habitually, and then he suddenly figured it out.

I am ten years younger than the emperor, and I am already 41 years old, while the emperor is already 55 years old.

The emperor also knew that he was old, so he was cultivating the heir, the grandson.

However, it must be more than that to allow the emperor to delegate power in this way.

The Jinyiwei who disappeared in Ming Dynasty, Ji Gang was abnormal, hoarding goods, globes, the navy was changed to the navy, and the grandson personally led the navy.

Zhang Fu had already figured it out completely. After conquering the grassland, the emperor had already set his sights overseas.

Thinking of the huge globe that he saw in Jinshen Hall, thinking of those vast worlds, Zhang Fu's heart suddenly became full of pride.

All of a sudden, Cochin seems to be unimportant, the world is so big, why bother to keep falling in love with that little Cochin!

But soon he came to his senses again, the greatness of the world is the greatness of Daming, the greatness of the emperor, not the greatness of his Zhang family, not the greatness of his Zhang Fu.

What Zhang can look forward to, what he can look forward to, is Jiaozhi.

For a moment, he seemed to understand why the grandson was willing to let Zhang Jiayong have intercourse.

Because in Taisun's eyes, it has far surpassed Jiaozhi, surpassed Nanyang, and become the whole world.

Opening his eyes, he opened his mouth and said: "Send Pomegranate to the palace to hand over the post, just say to invite Concubine Zhaoyi and Concubine Jing to return to the province, let's see how Zongzhengfu arranges it."

Zhang Bo asked: "With so much fanfare..."

"Don't worry, the situation is already like this. If I, Zhang Fu, are still afraid, the emperor will be disappointed with me. In my opinion, they may not be allowed to return to the province, but arrange for me to be with them in the palace." See, it's not a difficult task. Maybe I can meet my grandson without going through them."

Zhang Fu muttered and said: "The grandson is in charge of the navy now, and he has been running to Jiajiang. If the eldest brother just wants to see the grandson, it is not difficult to arrange."

Zhang Fu shook his head, and said with some disappointment: "I want to express my heart to the emperor now, what is the reason for meeting the grandson secretly!"

Zhang Yu died early. At that time, Zhang Fu was 12 years old, and Zhang Fu was only [-] years old. Although the two brothers had poor qualifications and bad temper, they both respected this elder brother who was also a father and brother.

Seeing Zhang Fu disappointed, Zhang Fu bowed his head and admitted his mistake. "It's because I thought it was simple, and let the elder brother down."

Zhang Fu sighed: "If my family of Zhang's can really live in cochin forever, you and your second brother will also support the family. In the future, you should think twice before doing things, and don't be reckless again."

"I got it."

Zhu Di returned to the palace, still very excited, and called Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji to Jinshen Hall. The three of them looked at the map of Ming Dynasty and the globe hanging on the entire wall.

Today's map of Daming has already included the territory from Jiaozhi in the south, Gansu in the west, Siberia in the north, and all the way to the Arctic Ocean based on the map of Asia on the globe.

And the area of ​​the Asia-Europe boundary line from Siberia to the Ural Mountains was also painted light yellow by Zhu Di, as the land to be conquered in the future.

Zhu Zhanji can't remember which country it belongs to now. I don't know if Russia has developed there, but Zhu Di still supports it very much.
