My Daming New Empire

On the second day, Er Gouzi's file was transferred by Jin Yiwei from the Habayashi Guard School. In the afternoon, he changed from a student soldier of the Habayashi Guard School to a deputy thousand households of the guard directly under Jin Yiwei.

Although Jinyiwei is directly under the guard, it is under the jurisdiction of Yingtian Mansion, so they can stay in the capital to enjoy the blessings.Jin Yiwei's deputy Qianhu is also from the fifth rank, which is one level higher than the sixth rank official position that he can be awarded.

However, none of the students in the same period envied him. The current students of Habayashi Guards are all proud and arrogant. The first choice is to enter the navy, followed by the young army, and then the Shenji Battalion, or other military guards .

As for going to Jinyiwei to be an eagle dog, few people are willing, unless it is a special guard training soldier.

Now, Li Zifeng, the number one scholar of the Habayashi Guard School, is the target of all military guards, but he chose Jinyiwei, the most hopeless yamen, which is really a pity.

However, many people who knew about Li Zifeng's family background couldn't help but praise him: "Don't forget your roots."

Jinyiwei is directly under the Qianhu Office, which is responsible for the investigation of cases in the capital and surrounding areas. However, after Ergouzi Li Zifeng came in, he only gave a name and was assigned to another department, which is the guard station in charge of guarding the palace.

This is Yang Zhangde's selfishness, he thought he would use Er Gouzi again, and deliberately put his position in the foreigner, not in the guard camp.

Jinyiwei is first of all the emperor's bodyguard and guard of honor, consisting of generals, school lieutenants and wrestlers.The general's first name was "Tianwu", but it was renamed "Dahan General" in Yongle.

The school lieutenants and wrestlers choose men who are in good health and have no criminal record.The school lieutenant is in charge of halogen books and umbrella covers, and the wrestlers hold golden drums and banners.

They are the first layer of guards in the palace, except for the inner hall of the palace city, including the front hall, it is their guarding place.

During the court meeting, Jin Yiwei was also responsible for maintaining order.Nine Jinyiwei generals, two thousand households, and four hundred households guarded the gates of Danbi, Yudao, Jinshui Bridge, and Fengtianmen Square respectively.In addition, there are 120 Jinyiwei school lieutenants, lined up inside and outside the Meridian Gate, responsible for sounding the whip and holding the guard of honor.

When the royal driver was traveling, they also formed a guard of honor with the servants, responsible for guarding and protecting nearby.

Although Er Gouzi is a foreigner, his specific position is Zhu Zhanji's personal deputy Qianhu.This is a position that can always be by Zhu Zhanji's side, but does not have to be on duty in the palace.

And he recuperated at home for more than ten days without going out, until his skin became fairer, and then under the leadership of Yang Zhangde, he went to the palace to report in person.

On this day, Zhu Zhanji also "coincidentally" chatted with his mother, the princess, in the Wenhua Palace.

Geographically, the Wenhua Hall belongs to the front hall, but the back hall group also belongs to the inner palace, so Jin Yiwei cannot enter normally.

However, Zhu Zhanji was here that day, and the commander of Jinyiwei personally brought him to familiarize himself with the environment, and introduced him to the servants in various yamen to meet and get to know each other. Therefore, it was not illegal for Zhu Zhanji to call them in.

Jiaxing, who was sitting on the side, wanted to evade when he heard that the commander of the Jinyiwei was paying his respects.Mrs. Zhang took her hand and said: "You are still young, so you don't have so many taboos, so stay here to accompany your mother for a while."

After finishing speaking, she looked with some concern at the two tall men who came in from the entrance of the hall.

Yang Zhangde is in his late thirties this year, and his body is extremely burly.Although Er Gouzi Li Zifeng has practiced martial arts all year round, he is still developing. Although he is tall, he is much thinner.

When the two came in, they knelt down on one knee and saluted first to the princess Zhang, then to Zhu Zhanji. After they got up, they also bowed to Jiaxing behind Zhang.

Jiaxing got up, returned the lady's ceremony, and then sat back behind his mother, hiding his body.

But she also saw clearly the two people who came in. She had seen Yang Zhangde many times, so she knew who it was, and it was the first time she had seen Li Zifeng.

After the two met, they said that Li Zifeng would work next to Zhu Zhanji in the future, and then Yang Zhangde said that he would take Li Zifeng to other places to familiarize himself with the situation.

Zhu Zhanji didn't ask to stay either, he sent them away, and asked others to leave, before he asked Mrs. Zhang, "What does mother think?"

Mrs. Zhang looked back at Jiaxing and asked, "Jiaxing, what's your impression of Li Zifeng?"

When Jiaxing heard his mother's question, he was taken aback for a moment, then understood immediately, his face blushed immediately, and he bowed his head in silence.

Mrs. Zhang knew it well, and if she didn't object, she agreed.Most of the time nowadays, men and women are married blindly and dumbly. Let the two of them meet today because Mrs. Zhang loves her daughter.

Jiaxing didn't speak, and Mrs. Zhang said: "Since Zhanji watched him grow up, he has trustworthy character and ability, and Jiaxing is willing, so let's make a decision first. But Jiaxing will not be filial piety until this time next year. Here Don't leak the news before, so as not to let others gossip that my royal daughter can't get married."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "The boy has already given orders, but Li Zifeng hasn't even told his parents."

"It should be like this.... But his status is still a bit low. Anyway, there is still more than a year left. You should also find an opportunity for him to make meritorious service. At that time, at least he will have a higher status, so that he can marry my Jiaxing. "

At this moment, Jiaxing couldn't listen anymore, stood up, and quickly saluted Mrs. Zhang and Zhu Zhanji: "Mother, concubine, brother Chu Jun, I... I'm going back to Yongshou Palace first..."

Zhu Zhanji and Mrs. Zhang watched her run out in a panic, and couldn't help laughing. It felt like a girl in my family had just grown up.

(I came back from a business trip, fortunately I did not miss the update.)

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

On the tenth day of the eighth month, 20 days after the return of those who went to Dongzhou to explore, all the rewards for the fleet personnel were sorted out.

The surrender of more than 500 tribes is a great achievement, and the income worth more than 2000 million taels of silver is a great achievement.

In contrast, crops such as corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, peppers, and rubber, which are most valued by Zhu Zhanji, are only regarded as incidental credits of this trip.

When the six parts sorted out these achievements and made corresponding rewards and credits according to the corresponding system, Zhu Zhanji directly re-determined the rewards.

Zhu Zhanji listed the transportation of rubber and sweet potatoes as a major achievement, and bringing back more than 2000 million taels of silver was a great achievement. As for the attachment of more than 500 tribes, it was listed as a minor achievement.

As for the gold and silver rewards, meritorious service rewards, and promotion rewards for all levels of the fleet, there is no change.

This dissatisfied most of the ministers, thinking that Zhu Zhanji couldn't tell the difference.In this era, court civil servants still value false fame more than actual interests.

But Zhu Zhanji ignored their standards, and said directly in the early court: "Corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes can all be cultivated on hillsides and wastelands. Such crops can keep my Ming Dynasty from famine. How can I not list them?" For great merit? As for the attachment of the Dongzhou natives, it is only a reputational attachment. Most of them can’t even speak my Ming Dynasty, so how can they be said to be my Daming people? , ignore it at all."

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji couldn't be persuaded, the ministers also reported the matter to Zhu Di.It's a pity that Zhu Di replied directly: "I'm old, and from now on, I will take the opinion of my grandson as the standard."

Jian Yi, Lu Zhen and others had no choice but to come back to persuade Zhu Zhanji, thinking that fame is more important than benefits, and that a kingdom in heaven should not be evaluated based on actual benefits, which will make the people more profit-oriented.

The opinions of the two sides were different, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials directly refuted Zhu Zhanji's imperial decree and asked for a court discussion at the Great Court Meeting.

However, Zhu Zhanji became extremely tough and insisted that the cabinet write a letter of reward and publish it in the newspaper the next day.

After more than a year of development, today's newspaper has changed from a semi-monthly publication to a five-day publication.Moreover, from the initial loss, it has now become even.

This is mainly due to the large increase in advertising expenses in various places, which make up for the cost of personnel and paper.

Many people have seen the effect of advertising, and many advertised products are in short supply.Those private chambers of commerce are now advertising at any cost.

However, the most willing to spend money are the great nobles. They now want to attract people to go to Nanzhou with them. In order to recruit people, they are most willing to spend money.

Although the fiefdoms of each family have not yet been determined, the criteria for dividing the fiefs this time have been revealed more than a year ago.

In South Africa, there are mainly pastures and fertile land along the coast, and there is more land in the south than in the north.

According to the degree of fertility of the land and the distance from the water source, the land is divided into three grades.

Nanzhou was divided into 17 yuan of different sizes according to the fertility of the land, which was shared by seventeen clans.

These seventeen clans were the prince's mansions sealed since the time of Zhu Yuanzhang, and with the addition of the Jingjiang prince's mansion, there are still sixteen families left.Including Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, there are seventeen families in total.

Among the seventeen princes, there are many branches of county kings, but the clan government does not care about the distribution of their internal interests, and is only responsible for supervision and coordination.

Under them, the Duke's Mansion can be divided into [-] li, which is almost [-] square kilometers of first-class land. If it is replaced by third-class land, it will be doubled, which means it will become [-] square kilometers.

On this land, Daming was exempted from taxes for five years, and after five years, taxes were collected depending on the income, but it was only one out of ten.At the same time, the prince's mansion, which is in the management position, draws one out of twenty.
