Domineering Daming

However, according to his understanding of the emperor in front of him, this "National Parliament" is definitely not that simple!

For the first time, Sun Chuanting became wary of this "National Parliament". Looking at Zhu Xu's expression and listening to his words, he didn't speak until the end, and said: "Go back to the emperor, the 66 councilors are already on their way, and the ministers have already sent people to join us." Prepare the room, office location, meeting room, etc. After arriving in Beijing, the minister and others plan to hold an enlarged meeting immediately to discuss the specific powers and duties of the national parliament and daily affairs..."

Zhu Xu could hear the hidden meaning in Sun Chuanting's words, but the national parliament is used to supervise the administration of the cabinet, to curb the incompetent government and powerful officials, so naturally it will not become the executive body of the cabinet, where it is uploaded and issued.

"In terms of specific powers and responsibilities, we will wait until Mr. Bi Ge returns to Beijing. By the way, we will make plans after Fu Changzong enters the cabinet. The summary of this year's 'New Deal' and the plan for next year must be put on the top priority. Cabinet You need to be clear about the priorities, and don't get entangled in some minor details, so that after you go back, make a to-do list for me to see, and I will draw a circle for you and list the key points." Zhu Xu picked up the teacup and said lightly .

Sun Chuanting naturally knew what Zhu Xu meant, raised his hand cautiously, and said, "I obey the order."

Zhu Xu nodded, put down his teacup, and said, "King Ping found Ezhe and Lin Danhan's four big Fujins. Tell me, how should we arrange them?"

This Sun Chuanting had thought about it a long time ago, and said: "E Zhe inherited Lin Danhan's throne, and King Shunping gave him a courtyard in the capital, with exclusive guards to cut him off from Mongolia. It will be fine for a long time."

"Well. How should we deal with those big Fujin?" Zhu Xu said.

Sun Chuanting's intention was naturally to let them go with E Zhe, but Zhu Xu's question caused Sun Chuanting to think.

After a while, Sun Chuanting said: "What does the emperor mean?"

Zhu Xu smiled and said: "I plan to remarry them to the princes of the clan, what do you think?"

The result of the subjugated daughter is probably the same in history.

Sun Chuanting understood and said: "I have no objection. When King Lu returns to Beijing, I will discuss with him."

Zhu Xu nodded and didn't say any more.

The closer to the end of the year, the busier the capital, and the busier the various departments.

More and more people came to Beijing from all over the world, and many things were intertwined, complicated and inexplicable.

The next day, as soon as Bi Ziyan entered Beijing, he went straight to the cabinet without going home.

Zheng Youyuan greeted him, and said as he walked: "The emperor went to inspect the Miyun Reservoir. Except for Mr. Sun Ge, everyone in the cabinet is here now. There are so many things to do now, and they are also very busy. They will wait for Mr. Ge to return to Beijing."

After all, Bi Ziyan was the "chief assistant", and Sun Chuanting couldn't handle many things well, so he ran up to the third floor from time to time.

Bi Ziyan was busy in the world, and said: "Six Shangshu, how many have arrived?"

"Except for Zhang Shangshu from the Ministry of Punishment, Xu Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry, and Guo Shangshu from the Ministry of War, the other three have not come back yet, and it is estimated that there will be a day or two." Zheng Youyuan said.

Bi Ziyan had already turned around the gate of Huiji, and said, "Then let Sun Baigu come to see me, by the way, King Jing and Wang Qiaonian should come too."

Hearing Bi Ziyan's words, Zheng Youyuan felt that the rain was about to come, and immediately said: "Yes."

Chapter 1113 Artificial Rain

When all kinds of people entered the capital, Zhu Xu came to Miyun to inspect the three newly built large reservoirs.

Accompanied by Governor Chen Qiyu of Shuntian Mansion, Governor Chen Xinjia and others, a group of people stood on a small hill, looking at the blue lake in front of them.

Most of this artificial lake is in the shade, surrounded by mountains, and rebuilt from a natural place.

Zhu Xu looked around and said with a smile: "This reservoir is not bad, tell me, how useful can it be?"

Chen Qiyu stood beside Zhu Xu, with a confident smile on his face, and said, "Returning to the emperor, there are three major reservoirs in Miyun, and basically there will be no drought or water shortage within a hundred miles. In addition, the underground waterway is almost built at present. This model minister waits." I think it is feasible, and I plan to continue to expand. This will not only deal with disasters, but also effectively resist summer floods..."

Zhu Xu nodded again and again, with a satisfied expression.

The establishment of these reservoirs can be used for a short period of time and benefit for a long time to come, and it is of great reference value. It can be promoted not only in the capital, but also in Shaanxi, Sichuan and other places. This will certainly be able to effectively deal with disasters.

"The ministers are still trying to drill wells, but some places are easy to drill, and some places are not easy to drill. The people's daily expenses are acceptable, but if it is used for irrigation, it is useless at all..." Chen Qiyu continued.

Zhu Xu said "hmm", looked at the huge reservoir with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "Mm, don't relax, try whatever methods you can use, the people are the foundation of a country, so don't be careless. The reservoir is well built, Chen Aiqing, you have done well in the past few years, next year you will go to the Ministry of Industry and work as a servant for a while..."

It is a great honor and honor for the courtiers to praise Zhu Xu face to face and make a wish!

"I don't dare to take the credit, it's all due to the concerted efforts of the entire Shuntian Mansion." Chen Qiyu raised his hand quickly and said.

Zhu Xu smiled and waved his hands. He looked around the artificial lake and saw the trees all around were shaded and shimmering. He was very happy in his heart.

Seeing that Zhu Xu was happy, Chen Qiyu said again: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the Ministry of Industry is experimenting with a kind of artificial rainfall, and it has already succeeded once. I have been to the Ministry of Industry several times and talked with Xu Shangshu for a long time. Although this method is not yet proficient, if you practice it a few more times, you will not only be able to deal with drought, but also have a way to alleviate severe flooding..."

Zhu Xu knows about this "artificial rainfall". It is a very primitive and rough method of rainfall. The success rate is not high, and it is quite troublesome to implement. For now, it is of little practical use.

Zhu Xu did not dampen the enthusiasm of Chen Qiyu and others, and encouraged him: "Well, don't relax, try more experiments, and report good experiences to the cabinet in time. I will let the cabinet promote it. It will benefit the country and benefit the whole country. People's affairs should not be cherished with a broom..."

"Yes, I obey the order." Chen Qiyu had a happy smile on his face.

Zhu Xu glanced at the huge reservoir again, turned around and came down.

A group of people followed behind and walked towards a field.

Chen Qiyu accompanied Zhu Xu, and said: "Your Majesty, these farmlands have just been re-divided, and some of them are Yongye fields. Buying, selling and renting are prohibited, otherwise they will be taken over to the imperial court. The current wheat production has not decreased much. By the way Tianfu is more than enough to be self-sufficient..."

Zhu Xu was walking on the path, looking at the young seedlings, which were all green, and with a smile on his face, he said, "There are more than 20 provinces in Ming Dynasty. If you want to say that I am most satisfied with Beizhili, you are doing well in Shuntianfu. Farmers , agriculture, should be considered in the first place... To put it mildly, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes when an official is not serving the people. Those who gave birth to us are our parents, and those who raise us are these common people. What they say about parents and officials, in my opinion, is completely reversed. Official airs, let the people look up to you, it's an asshole..."

Chen Qiyu, Chen Xinjia and the others all knew that this man's thoughts and thoughts were very different from ordinary people, and they were extremely reasonable. Listening to his words, they were silent for a while and did not speak.

Because what Zhu Xu said was correct, there was no way to refute it, but they could not immediately accept that "officials and the people" have been a kind of "opposition" since ancient times, and it is only natural for the government to manage the people.

Zhu Xu didn't care if they could listen to it or not, and how much they listened to, but his words would appear in the newspapers, and they would become a guiding ideology for the Qingfeng Movement in the future, spreading throughout Daming.

After walking for a while, looking at the wheat seedlings all over the mountains and plains, and looking at the weather that is about to enter winter, Zhu Xu was in a good mood. He glanced at Chen Qiyu, Chen Xinjia and others, with an appreciative smile on his face, and said: "Not bad, not bad, see here , I am more than half relieved, maybe next year, the people of the whole country will have a better life, and our pressure will be less, and in the next few years, maybe we don't have to worry too much..."

Chen Qiyu waited for Zhu Xu's voice to finish, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, there are almost no problems in the predictions made by the Qin Tianjian. They predicted that the disaster in the next three years may become more serious, so we should not take it lightly..."

Zhu Xu glanced at him in surprise, turned around with a smile, and walked back.

After walking for a while, a group of guards and carriages greeted them.

Zhu Xu didn't get in the car right away, walked slowly, and suddenly said: "I heard that there was an outbreak of plague recently, how did you deal with it?"

Chen Qiyu's face was slightly condensed, and he said: "Back to the emperor, the epidemic prevention department of the cabinet has been focusing on observing several places. This time, the outbreak has just been contained, and dozens of rodent control brigades have been organized in Datong, and various medicinal materials are also in place. , the epidemic has been brought under control..."

Chen Qiyu said "under control", but thousands of people have actually died, and it is still expanding, but it is not so violent.

In this matter, Zhu Xu has received dozens of memorials, impeachment, suggestion, criticism, and so on.

Zhu Xu didn't say too much, and concluded: "Well, you have to pay 120 hearts to this matter. You must not allow the disaster to expand, let alone spread to the capital. The methods that should be used, the money that should be spent, don't be restrained, don't worry about it. If you underestimate the epidemic, once it expands, the consequences will be disastrous..."

Chen Qiyu naturally understood better, raised his hand and said: "I understand that Governor Chen has temporarily sealed off several prefectures and counties in Datong. The disaster has not yet expanded, and the eradication of rats has achieved initial results."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, and said: "Okay, you can do it, and I will keep an eye on it. I can see about the same today, and I can go back to Beijing."

In the capital, there are still a lot of things waiting for him.

Chen Qiyu and others raised their hands, followed Zhu Xu, got into the carriage one after another, and rushed to the capital.
