My Daming New Empire

Inside the entire parliament building, there are a total of three places that can directly speak and amplify.One is the emperor's throne, the other is the speaker's seat, and the other is the speech place in front of the rostrum.

All the ministers attending the meeting will submit a memorial to Honglu Temple before participating in the Great Court Meeting, and Honglu Temple, the supervisor of rituals, will arrange the progress of the meeting.

Zhu Di came in for the first time and was full of interest. Before starting, he said a lot of words eloquently.Hearing his own voice resounding throughout the venue, he has changed his attitude towards the ugly parliament building.

Although it's a bit ugly, it's really easy to use. You don't need to raise your voice, but you can also let everyone hear your words clearly.

With such an arrangement, even if there is no Ming Dynasty's rules of procedure, the civil and military officials must follow the rules in order to have the opportunity to speak.

Great!

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

The only thing that makes Zhu Di a little dissatisfied is that now the parliament building has to design as many seats as possible, and there are long tables in front of each row of seats, so there is no place to kneel down.

In other words, whenever a meeting is held here to discuss major national affairs, no matter the position is high or low, they will no longer bow down.

From this point of view, this place can only be used as a place for court meetings, and it is better to place it in Fengtian Hall for court meetings such as celebrations.

This is exactly Zhu Zhanji's purpose. To correct the phenomenon of the hair and beards of the ministers in the court, the first thing is to change the discussion environment of officials.

When the working environment is separated and everyone gets used to performing their duties, there will no longer be an official from the Ministry of Punishment who can freely comment on the affairs of the Ministry of War.

Of course, this will also have a consequence, that is, the power of the speaker has greatly increased. Although he does not have the name of the prime minister, he also has the power of the prime minister.

However, Zhu Di has not seen these yet.

He is satisfied with the parliament building, not only can he see each minister clearly from a high position, but also because this dragon chair is much more comfortable than the golden nanmu dragon chair in Fengtian Temple.

In terms of enjoyment, Zhu Zhanji is more particular than anyone else. All the seats in the parliament building are designed like leather sofas.

And the dragon chair he was sitting on was made of sandalwood, with Kowloon entrenched on it, covered with springs on the top and back, brown canopy, stuffed with cotton, and stretched with bright yellow Kowloon silk on the outside.

The back of the chair is two meters high, two people can sit side by side, one person can sit in it, and it can be used as a bed to sleep.

Such a dragon chair, when Zhu Di sat in it, he felt extraordinarily comfortable.

He looked at Zhu Zhanji who had moved a brocade stool and sat obliquely in front of him, and hesitated again.

Now that this grandson is bothering with complicated affairs, he can be lazy, and this throne makes him reluctant to part with it.

It can also be seen from the changes in the past two years that although my grandson is diligent, he is also a party of enjoyment.

Now he has changed the court's agenda beyond recognition, catching the big and letting go of the small, in fact, for the sake of being lazy.

However, Zhu Di is not worried, because although he has delegated many affairs to the ministers, he has also restricted the qualifications of the ministers to intervene in other affairs, and there will never be a minister with power over the government and the opposition.

Although the current Jian Yi, as the speaker, seems to have greatly increased power, he has no executive power and cannot interfere with the affairs of other ministries at all.

Sitting on the large dragon chair, Zhu Di opened today's agenda manual.

This is also a new trick Zhu Zhanji came up with. Every time there is a big court meeting, the ministries must first submit the matters that need to be discussed, and then implement them according to the procedures.

Jian Yi, the speaker, is responsible for controlling the discipline and process of the discussion.

Everyone must follow the procedures if they want to act, which also reduces the process of wrangling in the court and speeds up the discussion process.

Seeing the pamphlet in front of him, Zhu Di knew what matters were going to be discussed in the court today, who would speak on stage, and what things would be discussed.

And he only needs to read this pamphlet, and he already has a judgment on many matters in his heart.

As long as the result of the discussions among the officials conforms to his ideas, it can be passed, and if it does not meet his ideas, it can be called back for reconsideration.

This not only saves a lot of time, but also allows him to have the most intuitive understanding of court affairs.

As long as he is not a mediocrity, when he becomes emperor in the future, he will not be blinded by ministers casually.

The only bad thing about this is that the Metropolitan Procuratorate wants to impeach any official, and it is impossible to hide it from everyone at the beginning.

But that's good too, without conclusive evidence, there will be far fewer incidents of impeaching officials casually based on rumors.

Zhu Di is also wondering, Zhu Zhanji has been emphasizing the need to improve the status of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, why now instead of restricting their power?

Especially the Sixth Division, they were originally a supervisory organization, and they relied on rumors to gain a foothold.

Now they are tied hands and feet. At their level, if there is no holy order, they have no power to investigate possible corruption in the Six Departments.

Thinking of this, he knocked on the wooden table in front of him.

I never thought that in front of this wooden table is the brass pipe for sound amplification. This copper pipe runs from the fourth floor to the sound amplification device under the rostrum on the second floor.

Amplified by copper pipes, the sound of his knocking on the table resounded throughout the parliament building.

On the rostrum, representatives of the Uzbek ethnic group had just handed in their credentials and were about to bow down to Zhu Di.

Hearing the loud noise, he couldn't help but froze there.

Jian Yi, who presided over the meeting, raised his head, clasped his fists at Zhu Di and said, "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

Zhu Zhanji also looked back at Zhu Di, seeing his surprised expression, knowing that Zhu Di might be doing it out of habit, but he couldn't help being heard by everyone.

Zhu Di made a joke, but he didn't take it to heart. Faced with this situation, he said with ease: "The Uzbeks showed their bravery in the battle against the Timurid country. Today, they are rewarded with five thousand sabers as a special case. "

Yingtianfu's special steel factory specializes in researching various alloy steels. Although muskets have become the main weapons of Ming Dynasty, cold weapons such as long knives and daggers have not been eliminated.

The special steel knives produced by Daming now far exceed the steel knives of other countries, and the famous Damascus steel knives are also dwarfed by Daming steel knives.

Moreover, their production is troublesome and expensive, and it is impossible to equip the entire army.

Hearing Zhu Di's words, Jian Yi asked again: "Song Shangshu, when will the Ministry of Industry be able to supply five thousand sabers?"

The big and small Jiuqings all had positions on the rostrum. Song Li got up from his seat, went to the front of the loudspeaker and said, "An Guogong ordered a batch of sabers last month, and they haven't shipped yet. You can transfer them to the Uzbeks first."

At this time, Uzbek representatives Wang Shumu and Wen knelt down, kowtowed three times to Zhu Di, and then raised their right hands.

This is a request from the representative in the rules of procedure to speak, Jian Yi nodded and said, "You can come to the stage to speak."

Mu Hewen was taught the rules by the officials of Honglu Temple. He walked to the loudspeaker in front of the stage, clasped his fists and saluted Song Li who was about to leave, and then turned to Zhu Di and said, "Your Majesty, can the foreign minister change the request?"

Zhu Di sat up straight and said, "Let's talk about it."

Mu Hewen said: "I Uzbeks used to make my home from all over the world and lived by water and grass. With the help of Shangguo, my family has grown a large amount of cotton and the harvest is amazing. But my family can only weave by hand. Please teach me The technique of hydraulic propulsion, for our people, the technique of hydraulic weaving, is far more useful than the five thousand sabers."

Hearing this, Zhu Di laughed and said: "The grandson has already made a comprehensive plan for this matter, so don't bother me with such trivial matters. However, in order to reward you for waiting, I will allow this matter."

Except for the first night, Zhu Di was too tired and had a good night's sleep.In the next few days, he kept talking with Zhu Zhanji while he was busy.

The grandfather and grandson had extensive communication on Ming's politics, economy, diplomacy, military affairs, internal affairs, navigation, etc., so Zhu Di knew very well Zhu Zhanji's attitude towards the various ethnic groups in the Northwest.
