My Daming New Empire

The various ethnic groups in the Northwest are far away from Ming Dynasty, and they just transship cotton to make them a meager profit. This matter cannot last long.

Daming wanted to keep them firmly in his hands, so apart from deterring them by force, he had to give them more sweetness.

Teaching them the hydraulic textile technology is the next step of the plan, and Zhu Zhanji will gradually implement it even if it is not mentioned.

Only let them, like the Tatars and Oirats, completely rely on Daming for survival.Only when Ming fully controlled them from both military and economic aspects can this kind of rule be stable.

When Mu and Wen heard what Zhu Di said, they quickly knelt down again to express their gratitude.And below the first floor, representatives of the Uzbeks also bowed to Zhu Di one after another.

It is this feeling that Zhu Di enjoys the most, the satisfaction of having power in his hands, which is also the main reason why he is hesitant to abdicate now.

I am used to holding great power in my hands, and it would be a little bit reluctant for anyone to let him give up for a while.

The meeting continued under the chairmanship of Jian Yi. Seeing that the requirements of the Uzbeks had been met, the countries behind also wanted to exchange various rewards for hydraulic textile technology.

There are even countries such as Kezhi and Banggeci that want to obtain the production technology of trains.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji would not agree to this point. It is enough to disclose the hydraulic textile technology now.

What's more, those small countries of theirs can't even melt iron, so it is impossible to produce trains.

This is an upgrade of the entire industry, not just a technology.

If the furnace temperature cannot be raised, the steel cannot be melted, and if the steel cannot be melted, it is impossible to cast iron tools.What's more, it also involves the alloy manufacturing of cylinders and pistons.

This is not as easy as they thought.

As long as they can't break through the steelmaking technology, Daming won't worry that they can catch up.

In the original history, it was not until the 400th century that the furnace temperature increase of steelmaking technology was really solved, and that was [-] years later.

The butterfly effect brought about by the technological improvements of the Ming Dynasty cannot make this era still follow the original history, but for at least a few decades, the steel smelting technology must be kept as secret as possible.

When Daming occupied most of the world's land and formed an absolute advantage, at that time, even if they were to acquire steelmaking technology, they would have to have a source of steel!

Zhu Di enjoyed this kind of respect at first, but he soon became irritated by the endless demands of various countries.

When he got to the back, he huddled in the dragon chair and closed his eyes to rest. He didn't care what happened below, and let Zhu Zhanji reply.

After receiving all the foreign envoys, they left, and then began to discuss internal affairs.

In the past half a month, there were not many major events, and Zhu Di's return to China was considered the biggest event.

Not only Zhu Di, but even Zhu Zhanji were not very interested in those procedural matters.

He was still thinking about whether the purification of penicillin presided over by Lan Yan was successful or not.I have been with Zhu Di for the past few days, and I have no time to pay attention to this matter at all.

The difficulty in the study of penicillin in this era lies in its purification.Melons are grown seasonally and can only be studied for a few months each year.

Although the strains were produced later, when it comes to the step of purification, even the blue smoke, there is no shortcut.

It has been researched for three years, and there is still no major breakthrough in purification.Today the production of penicillin has increased from 2 units per cubic centimeter to 40 units.

However, due to the lack of cooling technology, penicillin bacteria with higher purity cannot be obtained.

The penicillin purified at normal temperature is not so much a life-saving medicine as a poison.

It was approaching noon, and it was the final stage of the discussion. An incident reported by Jin Yiwei caught everyone's attention.

Only this morning, Zhu Zhanji learned that Zhu Zhanyu had intercourse during the filial period, which led to his wife Fan's pregnancy.

This matter is nothing in later generations. Zhu Gaochi has been dead for more than a year, and he can even get married, let alone have sex.

But in this era, it is unfilial.

This matter is actually a trivial matter, and should not have been discussed in the court.But who made Zhu Di come back now, and who made Zhu Zhanxi not Zhu Zhanji's half-brother!

In other words, the meaning behind this incident far exceeds the incident itself.

Zhu Zhanji was actually a little annoyed with Yang Zhangde in his heart, he was really making trouble for nothing.He dared not discuss with himself, so he revealed this matter, making himself a little passive.

But he also knew that Yang Zhangde acted for him, and wanted to use this incident to test Zhu Di's mentality.

Even if it is superfluous, Zhu Zhanji can't blame Yang Zhangde too much.

Yang Zhangde has served as the commander of Jinyiwei for three years. Although he is not as domineering as Ji Gang, he is as cruel as ever.

He is Zhu Zhanji's loyal dog, and he has also established a group of forces in the court.They were afraid that Zhu Di's return would frustrate their grandson's power, and wanted to test Zhu Di.

And at this time, the incident that Zhu Zhanxi caused was a good starting point.

Zhu Zhanji is not afraid of not being able to hide it from Zhu Di. With Zhu Di's means, it is easy to see through this point.

The key lies in what kind of attitude Zhu Di has. This attitude will directly affect the future situation of the court.

Taking advantage of the gap between the discussions, Zhu Di waved to Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanji got up, Li Liang quickly moved his brocade stool to the left side of Zhu Di's dragon chair, and let Zhu Zhanji sit down.

Zhu Di leaned in the dragon chair, crossed his rheumatism-torn legs, and said softly like an ordinary old man: "Looking at the current procedures, it is indeed what you said three years ago. There are fewer unnecessary disputes and accusations in the court today, and it is more efficient. But... let all the affairs be discussed, and let the Metropolitan Procuratorate, how can the sixth department hear about it?"

Zhu Zhan basically waited for Zhu Di's questioning, but he didn't expect that he didn't seem to care about Zhu Zhanyu's affairs at all, but asked about the procedure.

In the past, institutions such as the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Division could impeach a minister based on rumors.

Regardless of whether the minister has done this thing or not, he must explain it. If he can't explain it, he is waiting to lose his position.

This kind of inference of guilt has basically disappeared in later generations, and after the law is gradually improved, it is basically a presumption of innocence.The investigation agency must provide evidence, not let people prove their innocence.

Such impeachment steps made some so-called clean streams and talkers become more and more rampant later, and formed a huge force.

Take the Donglin Party in later generations as an example. Although they often have members in high positions, more people still control the way of speech.

They regard these positions as noble positions. What is nobleness?It means that you don't have to do things, and you can say what others are doing badly without any worries.

If you want him to make suggestions and come out to do things, he doesn't even bother.

This kind of people who don't do things by themselves and don't see others doing things, no matter what they do right or wrong, can't escape their criticism, and it will become an honor in the future.

This is similar to the keyboard warriors on the Internet in later generations, except that in this era, they can become officials with this ability, and they can also become high officials.

Zhu Zhanji is the one who hates these people the most. Although it is still the beginning of Ming Dynasty and there is not so much talk, he has decided to reform this aspect.

His first step was to establish a communication system between the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Sixth Division, and Jin Yiwei.

Regardless of whether it is the Metropolitan Procuratorate or the Six Divisions, if any minister is found to be corrupt, fraudulent, or illegal, he must first investigate.The investigation was conducted secretly by the Ministry of Punishment or the Jinyiwei, and only when there was evidence could it be brought to the court.

If you don't investigate first, you can directly bring it to the court and say that if there is no evidence in the investigation, whoever is impeached will be slightly less guilty of the same crime.

In other words, if you impeach the other party to kill, if the other party did not kill, then you will be convicted of manslaughter.If you impeach the other party for corruption, but the other party is not corrupt, you have to judge the crime as corruption.
