My Daming New Empire

This is an obvious matter, if they all handle the matter well, how can he get this kind of favor in front of the beauty.

He hummed and said: "Jin Yiwei, the Criminal Department will investigate Zhao De's illegal deeds. If there are other acts of occupying fertile land and oppressing the people, he will be punished severely!"

Shen immediately knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Little girl, thank you for your great kindness."

"There's no need to be too polite, we'll be a family from now on, and it's only natural to stand up for you."

Shen's heart was overjoyed, but the others could not help but sigh.

Zhu Zhanji said to Liu Chenghui again: "Arrange Mrs. Shen in the guest room today, wait on board the boat, choose a good day and auspicious day, and consummate the room with her alone."

"Your Highness, the Shen family hasn't been registered yet, so are you going to take them to sea with you?"

Zhu Zhanji stood up, stretched his waist and said, "Help her check her body, and then send someone back to register."

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji had made up his mind, Liu Chenghui had no choice but to say: "I have experienced it myself, so I am undoubtedly a virgin."

Zhu Zhanji nodded, turned back and said to his childhood sweetheart, "Is the hot water ready, change clothes and take a bath."

Sitting in the wooden barrel, although the beautiful bodies of green bamboo and green plum are in front of him, Zhu Zhanji is still thinking about the counseling department.

Although the current Advisory Department is only an intelligence agency and has no law enforcement powers, it is not afraid that they will be as powerful as the Dongchang that has not yet appeared.

However, since there is no oversight body, everything now depends on their loyalty.

Jin Yiwei's power has been restrained, and the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have been staring at them.But because the Advisory Council is independent from the imperial court, there is no institution that can exert influence.

This incident is an obvious example. Although it is only a trivial matter, their loyalty is not questionable.But as an information request, it is wrong for them to have their own ideas.

In any case, you should tell yourself about this matter first, and let yourself make the decision.

A girl was trained by them for two years... Thinking of this, he couldn't help wondering if these subordinates wanted to set up a pawn in their harem!

But when I turned my head and thought about it, I felt that I was too suspicious, because they were internal servants themselves, and the things in the inner palace could not be hidden from them.

In any case, this situation feels a little out of control, so when he returns from the sea, he will also have to play a trick on the Director of Information.

The next day, after thinking about it, he still sent a secret letter to Yang Zhangde through Jin Yiwei's system.Inside was the 10 taels of silver notes he personally pledged, and there was an order for him to set up an agency to secretly supervise the Advisory and Information Department in addition to performing official duties.

In the past two years, Sun Lin and Jin Kuo will go to sea with him. With a two-year buffer, this organization can definitely form a certain scale without letting Sun Lin and the others know.

Sending Jin Yiwei to deliver the letter, Zhu Zhanji didn't even have to find an excuse.He said to ask Jin Yiwei to contact Lu Zhen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and ask him to add another person to his harem in the clan mansion he is in charge of.

As a superior, no matter when, the restriction of power is the most important.

He stayed in Ningbo for two days. The goods here have been shipped in advance. The time he stayed here was mainly to meet with the merchants here.

Another important reason is for the opening ceremony of Ningbo Commercial Bank.

As the largest foreign port and trade center of Ming Dynasty, the importance of Ningbo Commercial Bank is equivalent to that of Yingtianfu Development Bank.

There are not only the largest commercial organizations in Ming Dynasty, but also envoys from various countries who come to Ming Dynasty for trade, so the turnover of the banks here is probably more than that of an inland province.

Among other things, just exchanging those gold and silver into gold and silver coins, there is a 5.00% profit for every tael.After the banks here are opened, they can make a lot of money just relying on the exchange of gold and silver.

Moreover, the greater the concentration of merchants, the greater the circulation of gold and silver.In the future, the Ming Dynasty did not allow the circulation of gold and silver, and relied entirely on banks to operate, and the profit in this area exceeded 5.00%.

Although Zhu Zhanji did not increase the business tax, with these two procedures alone, [-]% of the profits of the Ming merchants went into the pockets of the royal family.

There are also various commercial taxes and tariffs, which played an irreplaceable role in the convenience of the royal family's wealth collection before they developed in Shanghai.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji did not collect money to build a garden, nor did he enjoy it for himself.

He still understands the principle of taking from the people and using them for the people. With money, the royal family, or the imperial court, can play an active leading role in infrastructure construction and education popularization in the future.

With Zhu Zhanji here, on the day when the commercial bank opened, he thought that as long as the deposits were made in the bank, the cooperation with the internal supervisor would be given priority in the future, so in just one day, more than fifty cars and 20 taels of silver were stolen deposited in the bank.

Everything just needs a good start.

Zhu Zhanji set off again, this time on a much larger scale, with a fleet of more than five hundred ships.

Next stop, Quanzhou Prefecture.

Thank you for seeing people with lights.Oh, thank you for your support from the bamboo sticks.

Chapter 4 Pujia

"Your Highness, this old slave thinks that it is better to start teaching soldiers to read and write after leaving Daming. If you start teaching before leaving Daming, it will be easy for His Majesty to know about it."

Zhu Zhanji held three thin booklets in his hand, one of which was three hundred thousand for literacy.The Three Character Classic, Hundred Surnames and Thousand Characters are the most basic literacy books in this era.

In the era without pinyin, literacy can only be solved by relying on the methods left by the ancestors.In the process of learning, I also learned the essence of a long history and culture.

Zhu Zhanji also thought about making Chinese pinyin, but Zhu Zhanji himself didn't understand the roots, finals, and initials. How could he systematically sort out the educational methods?So he just thought about it and dropped the idea.

One is mathematics, from one plus one to basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and then to binary equations.The Arabic alphabet has been applied to this book, including the English alphabet and the Latin alphabet.

This era is not as closed as later generations thought. In the coastal areas, Arabic numerals and Latin letters have been used since the Song Dynasty, but they have not been popularized.

Soldiers use sextants to test their bearings and carry out map surveying, all of which require basic mathematical knowledge.Just relying on more than 1000 young soldiers, it will take too long to complete this task.

There is also a book on physical geography, which mainly describes the entire world. In the book, it is clearly stated that people live on a sphere, and the area of ​​the ocean is much larger than that of the land.

This book mainly talks about the formation of wind, cloud, thunder and lightning, and the distribution of mountains, rivers and landforms, etc. It can be regarded as a scientific summary of the natural basic knowledge of the whole world.

The content of these three books is not deviant, but teaching those little soldiers to learn to read is too deviant.

Whether it is civil servants, military generals, or Zhu Di, they will not be too supportive.Because the basic structure of the whole society is soldiers, farmers, industry, and soldiers, with distinct classes, Zhu Zhanji's move is to break this class, which is very dangerous for those with vested interests.

It is still the basic argument today that the people can follow it, but they cannot make it known.But Zhu Zhanji decided to go his own way and promote literacy in the fleet.

Because literacy and learning are important ways to promote elite soldiers in the future.

How many people does Ming need to occupy most of the world?According to today's fighting level, 1000 million people are not enough.

But the entire Ming Dynasty has only 5000 million people, so this is basically impossible.

The current Ming Dynasty has less than 300 million soldiers, and the country's finances are a bit difficult.

Putting down the book in his hand, Zhu Zhanji pondered for a while before saying: "Then when we leave Quanzhou, we will start promoting literacy education in the army. Director Zheng, this matter will be included in the soldier assessment, and each soldier must have at least You have to learn three or five characters, and if you fail to complete the task, you will be punished by training. You must make a detailed plan for this matter, and strive to make all the soldiers write letters to their families by themselves when we return."

Zheng He told Zhu Zhen, the chief soldier of the Marine Corps, and Xue Lu, the chief soldier of the Marine Corps, said: "Life at sea is lonely. The first few times I went to sea, every time soldiers went crazy because of the monotonous life. Even if I vigorously promoted mahjong in the army, it was just a start. It is a good idea to let the soldiers learn to read and write, they have something to do every day, so they will not be cranky."

Zhu Zhen also went to sea twice and knew about these things, but Xue Lu was a little anxious, and looked at Zhu Zhanji bitterly. "Your Highness, the old minister doesn't need to learn these anymore, does he?"

When Xue Lu was young, he also had big characters, but the more he became an official, the bigger he became, and it was impossible to be illiterate.

To be a general in this era, even if he is illiterate, he must have all kinds of marching and combat experience, be able to recognize the direction of the wind, understand basic common sense, and be able to march and deploy troops.
