Domineering Daming

Sun Chuanting listened and nodded, these are "should be righteous", and after Zhu Xu finished speaking, he said: "The structure of the State Administration of Taxation has basically been completed, and the departments in each province have also been established and can perform their duties. However, the State Administration of Taxation has been It is supervised by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the secretary of the General Administration is also concurrently held by the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, do you want to further decentralize power?"

The "New Deal" is now in the stage of going from big and rough to fine and dense, with more and more complicated things.

Zhu Xu took the teacup handed over by the inner eunuch, and said, "Well, I'll decide who to choose. By the way, how is the 'military reform' going, and what happened?"

The Ming Dynasty has always controlled the army very strictly. Even if Zhu Xu did not carry out overt or covert monitoring, the civil servants of the court would not allow the local government to expand and the appearance of feudal towns.Zuo Liangyu, the only one with ulterior motives, has now gone to Wa country.

Now that the military and the government are separated, Sun Chuanting really doesn't understand.

Cao Huachun understood, stepped forward and said: "Return to the emperor, the Generalissimo's Office reported yesterday that the six provinces including Shaanxi and Sichuan are basically completed, and General Qin Liangyu is in charge of Sichuan, and there is no disturbance at all. Mrs. Sun is currently in Jiangxi, and in less than half a month, he must be there." Go south to Yunnan, at most three months, Mr. Sun should be able to return to Beijing."

In less than a year, this kind of reform can only be a big framework, and there are still more small things to be promoted. It will take at least three years to complete, establish, and digest.

"Three months, that is, the end of the year..."

Zhu Xu glanced outside, and said with some emotion: "The time has passed so quickly, and it has been almost ten years since I became the throne."

Sun Chuanting and the others glanced at him, their emotions were much more than Zhu Xu's.

Zhu Xu said something casually, and then said: "You should keep an eye on the matter of the imperial examination. When you have the list, show it to me as soon as possible."

Now there is no palace test anymore, as long as the Royal Political Council evaluates it, the cabinet reviews it correctly, and Zhu Xu nods, it will be considered a complete decision.

Sun Chuanting said: "Yes, Ying Tianfu sent it over for review, and there must be a result within half a month."

Zhu Xu nodded, narrowing his eyes slightly.

With this imperial examination, these political academy students will have "legitimacy", and there will be no so much talk and resistance in arranging positions.The exchange of blood for low-level officials can start this year, year after year, and repeat!

At the same time, the exam at the Royal Political Council ended after two hours of intense answering, and finally came out in groups of twos and threes.

This time, Cao Dingjiao, Wei Xuelian, Meng Zhaoxiang and others are all here, and they are going to go through a "procedure".

Wei Xuelian left the Political Academy, and while walking, he was still discussing today's exam questions.

Wei Xuelian sighed dejectedly, and said: "I haven't read books for several years, I guess I will fail this subject..."

Meng Zhaoxiang glanced at him, and said with disdain: "Every time you say that, you are full of confidence. You won't be planning to win the first prize, right?"

Wei Xuelian immediately closed his expression and said, "You are the most insidious one, the champion is yours, right?"

Meng Zhaoxiang glanced at him angrily, turned to Cao Dingjiao and said, "Old Cao, you have been silent all this time, so the number one scholar will be yours this time, right?"

"Yes, Senior Brother Cao, this time it's yours, right?"

"Senior Brother Cao, with your talent and learning, it's easy to win the number one prize..."

"This time the examiner is probably going to have a headache. The geniuses of the past ten years have gathered together. I'm afraid they won't be able to tell who is the number one scholar..."

These are all the students from before and after the Royal Political Council, gathered around Cao Dingjiao, echoing in loud and low voices.

Cao Dingjiao looked at this group of people with a calm expression, shook his head and said: "It's not what you think, my uncle has clearly told me that I am not allowed to enter the first class, otherwise I will not be allowed to be an official. There are a few questions in the back that I deliberately did not write. , I won’t compete with you for the top spot, second place, or third place..."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, they didn't expect this at all, and were speechless for a while.

At this moment, rumors about this imperial examination spread quickly in Shuntian Mansion and Yingtian Mansion, spreading to all directions of Daming.

Chapter 1093

Ying Tianfu's Tribute Academy has been assigned to Jiangsu Academy, and the exam has just ended, and all the exam papers have been sealed and sent to the capital quickly.

Ying Tianfu and the whole of Nanzhili were also disturbed, and rumors were flying everywhere.

Nanzhili is the place where the great Ming's literature is collected, and the resistance to the development of the Royal Political Council is also the greatest.Such an unprecedented examination paper has stumped most people!

The governor's yamen and the Jiangsu academy had already been arranged, so there were no disturbances.It's just that I don't know how many people are crying and making noise, dying or living, like little widows abandoned by men.

Not long after, the governor's office posted a notice.

The content of the announcement severely criticized the erroneous idea that "studying is an official", and denied the erroneous idea that only being an official can realize one's ambitions. It firmly believes that all walks of life are fighting for ZTE Daming. Dedication and sacrifice are indispensable. There is no distinction between superior and inferior, and Yun Yun cannot be bullied.

Such an announcement, in the eyes of scholars who were kicked out of the examination room or who were determined to fail, as well as their relatives and friends, is undoubtedly ridiculous, perfunctory, blameworthy, and fooling them!

Although they are angry, they have nothing to do, and they dare not make trouble, because the entire Nanzhili has been banned from imperial examinations, and they don't want this ban to extend from Nanzhili to their provinces!

The papers in the capital have been sealed up, and they can be checked and graded together when they are delivered from Nanzhili.

In the west of the city, a middle-aged man concealed his flattery, led the way with a smile, and said, "My lord, what I'm introducing to you today is definitely a big deal. This deal is really too much for ordinary people..."

Fu Tao followed behind him and said, "Fu has always believed in the business of shopkeeper Hu."

Listening to Fu Tao's words, Hu Lianshan felt extraordinarily honored, and smiled more and said, "Don't worry, Eldest Young Master, I will never disappoint Eldest Young Master! Please."

Fu Tao followed Hu Lianshan up to the second floor without moving his expression. Before he reached the top, a man in his thirties hurried over, bowed deeply, and said in a deep voice, "I met Mr. Fu in Shimodanaka Ichiro!"

With this appearance, one could see that he was a Japanese. Fu Tao frowned, glanced at Hu Lianshan, and said, "Japanese?"

Just as Hu Lianshan was about to speak, Ichiro Tanaka raised his head and quickly said: "Yes. I am a Japanese, a serious businessman, and my business is well-known. This time I entrust shopkeeper Hu to be the middleman, because I want to do business with the eldest son. A BIG deal!"

Fu Tao has followed Zhu Xu for a long time, and he is very familiar with some of Zhu Xu's habits. For example, Zhu Xu looks down on Japanese people very much, and speaks contemptuously.In addition, he also knew that the imperial court was about to intervene in the war against the chaos of the Wa Kingdom.

Fu Tao looked calm, walked to the table and sat down, said: "What kind of business, you should know, if it is some business that doesn't catch my eye, and it delays my time, I can throw you into the sea to feed the fish with just one sentence." .”

Tanaka Ichiro looked respectful, followed immediately, and said: "Yes. I understand. The business I negotiated with the eldest son will definitely make the eldest son a lot of money!"

Fu Tao glanced at him and said, "Tell me."

Ichiro Tanaka did not sit down, but stood in front of Fu Tao, his eyes flickered slightly, without hesitation, he said very directly: "To tell you the truth, I found a silver mine that has never been mined in Jiuguo Island. I want to share with you The eldest son joins forces to mine, of course, the eldest son takes the lead."

Fu Tao raised his eyes and looked at Ichiro Tanaka in surprise.

Silver mines, if this kind of thing is discovered by a private person, they will be dug quietly and secretly. If you want to eat it all by yourself, how can you find someone to cooperate?Are you not afraid of being swallowed by others, or the news leaked?

Tanaka Ichiro seemed to have thought about Fu Tao's worries a long time ago, and then said: "I know the worries of the eldest son, and I will not hide it from the eldest son. Although I discovered the silver mine, I have no ability to mine it. I know the identity of the eldest son in Daming, I also know that Daming has enough strength in Jiuguo Island to protect this silver mine, I have no other requirements, only 100 million taels of silver, and I will not say anything else!"

Fu Tao was still thinking about the purpose of Ichiro Tanaka, but when he heard the word "Shimabara", his expression suddenly became enlightened, and his eyes turned cold.

The civil unrest in Japan is concentrated in the land of Shimabara on Kyukoku Island. Because of the "little ice river", there has been no harvest for many years, plus wind and rain, earthquakes and other natural disasters. , the invasion of pirates, etc., made Shimabara, the core of Kyukoku Island, one of Amakusa's belts become a powder keg.

Leaving aside the identity of Ichiro Tanaka, this silver mine is in Shimabara, with ulterior motives!

Fu Tao was no longer Wuxia Amon. Hearing Tanaka Ichiro's words, his expression remained motionless. He tapped his fingers on the table, glanced at Hu Lianshan, then looked at Tanaka Ichiro and said, "Where is it exactly?"

Ichiro Tanaka bowed his body, looked at Fu Tao, and said with a firm expression: "In Yuancheng, I have investigated it before. If it is mined properly, tens of millions of silver is very easy."

Fu Tao was not clear about the details of the Shimabara people's rebellion in the Japanese country. After remembering the name, he looked at Ichiro Tanaka and said, "What is your identity, who do you represent, and how much strength do you have?"

Tanaka Ichiro's eyes flickered, knowing that the person in front of him was difficult to deal with, but he had already made sufficient preparations, and he opened his mouth and said: "I am from Amakusa, and I am just a businessman. I can mobilize 300 samurai, but [-] people are not enough to guard the silver mine." , not to mention digging by hand, so I need the help of the eldest son!"
