Domineering Daming

Fu Changzong is still the host this year, standing there, he can overlook everyone in the hall!

Fu Changzong put the herb in his hand on the table, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty is welcome!"

As soon as Fu Changzong finished speaking, Liu Shimin's voice sounded outside the side door: "The emperor is here!"

Everyone stood up suddenly and raised their hands towards the side door.

Dressed in a dragon robe, Zhu Xu walked into the hall accompanied by many inner eunuchs and guards.

"The ministers are waiting to see the emperor, long live my emperor!"

No matter the officials present, members of parliament, or the envoys who were watching, the common people, without exception, raised their hands and bowed.

Zhu Xu came to his seat, looked at the sea of ​​people, smiled and waved his hands and said: "You are all flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The voices of more than 700 people seemed to be boiling.

Fu Changzong took over the conversation, and arranged for them to sit down one by one after Zhu Xu sat down.

Fu Changzong glanced at the herbs on the table and said, "The first item is to play the national anthem and raise the national flag!"

After Fu Changzong finished speaking, Zhu Xu, Sun Chuanting, Sun Chengzong and others stood up one after another, looking at the silver flagpole not far in front of them.

The heavy bells and drums sounded, and the guard of honor stepped forward in neat steps, amidst the sound of sonorous music.

Everyone's expression is solemn, meticulous, standing like a pine.

With the hoisting of the national flag, the national anthem of more than 700 people fluttered in the chamber, out of the palace, and enveloped the Forbidden City and the capital.

After the national anthem stopped and everyone sat down, Fu Changzong said loudly again: "The second item is to sacrifice and swear to the ancestors."

Zhu Xu came out first, and walked to the south in front of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

Sun Chuanting and other cabinet ministers followed behind Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu held the incense, stood upright, and swore in a deep voice.

As in previous years, the second one is Sun Chuanting. His oath has been slightly changed, focusing on "government affairs" and "rejuvenation".

Only the two of them took the oath while everyone else watched.

There was no noise in the whole process, it was silent and solemn.

After taking the oath and burning incense, Zhu Xu and the cabinet returned to their seats.

Fu Changzong stood on the presiding stage again, and said in a deep voice: "The third item on the agenda, the cabinet chief assistant will read the cabinet policy report."

Sun Chuanting stood up, bowed to Zhu Xu, and then walked towards the host stage.

Zhu Xu raised his hands and clapped his hands.

This is not the first time Zhu Xu has done this. Sun Chengzong and others applauded, followed by the five ministers, the servant, and then the whole hall applauded.

Sun Chuanting stood on the high platform, looked down, took a deep breath, raised his hand and pressed down.

Suddenly, the whole hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes were on him.

Sun Chuanting put the thick report in his hand on the table, opened the first page, and said in a deep voice: "I, Sun Chuanting, the chief assistant of the Ming cabinet, uphold the will of His Majesty Emperor Jingzheng of the Ming Dynasty, and have passed on government affairs for many years. Written, reported to His Majesty, communicated to all peoples..."

Everyone was very quiet, looking straight at Sun Chuanting, not paying attention to his opening remarks, waiting for his next content.

Chapter 1485 Sun Chuanting's Policy Outline

After reading this sentence, Sun Chuanting raised his head and looked down, and then his voice echoed in the hall with a thick and powerful voice.

"The reason for the reform of the 'Jingzheng New Deal' is that the Ming Dynasty has developed for more than two hundred years. It has been full of bad governance, corruption, overstaffing, leaks everywhere, and problems. , There is land to the tiller, and there are no poor men in the world', so we must fundamentally change our Ming Dynasty."

"Official administration, after years of hard work, the imperial court has eliminated party strife, treachery, and decadent township party forces, and created the court and local high-level officials to be honest and positive. Hundreds of officials are obsessed with government affairs, focused on business, and concentrated on the people... …But it’s not enough. Corruption is our eternal enemy. Collusion between gentry and gentry, collusion between officials and businessmen, and mutual protection between officials and officials are still emerging and inexhaustible! Combating corruption and improving administrative efficiency are still the priorities that we need to fight bravely. cause……"

"Agriculture is the biggest problem and the most important issue of the 'New Deal'...More than [-]% of the land in our Ming Dynasty is concentrated in the hands of big gentry households, and more than [-]% of the people are tenants. They can hardly eat all year round, and starvation abounds."Jing Zheng The land mu policy has been implemented for many years, and it is difficult. The top priority of the cabinet next year will be to increase the intensity of land acquisition. The forces will vigorously crack down on illegal activities such as illegal land hoarding, possession, and extortion. A special agency will be established to coordinate planning, combine household registration and other information, classify the victims, distribute them sequentially, and provide multi-faceted subsidies for grain, fertilizer, and livestock..."

"My Ming's business tax loss is serious, and it has been useless in the past hundred years, and the management of businessmen is almost non-existent. The current cabinet will devote itself to the establishment of a complete business management system, tax rules, and sustainable development plans..."

"For the handicraft industry, the imperial court encourages the development, and will implement necessary incentive policies to promote it at home and abroad. Silk, cloth, etc. are the main representatives. Heavy industries, such as mining, iron smelting, and machinery, are equally important. The imperial court will set up a special investment department for support……"

"This year's reforms at all levels of academies and political institutes have been basically completed. The cabinet has formally established a four-level education system of primary school, junior high school, high school, and university. We will continue to increase investment and expand coverage, and strive to complete the three-year compulsory education within three years. , six years within ten years, and nine years within 20 years, aiming to complete the goal of "everyone who does not read and no one is illiterate" in Ming Dynasty, improve the collective quality of the people of Ming Dynasty, and prosper the culture of Ming Dynasty..."

Sun Chuanting's policy report is very organized, from official administration, agriculture, industry, commerce, education, etc., in order, concise and rich in content.

Hundreds of people in the meeting hall listened very carefully, most of them didn't know the content, and countless people wanted to hear some of it and distinguish some of it.

Sun Chengzong read it for a full hour and a half before he stopped with dry mouth.

Fu Changzong presided over and announced the distribution of Sun Chuanting's policy report for members to watch and discuss, and announced the adjournment to continue in the afternoon.

Zhu Xu didn't speak the whole time. After announcing the adjournment, they got up and left the meeting room with smiles.

Sun Chuanting and others left one after another, followed by the adults from the fifth department.

As soon as they left, the chamber exploded.

"What does Shoufu mean by this? Do you want to fight corruption again? Is it aimed at the capital or outside the capital, or at the county level?"

"The imperial court still wants to buy land? No, it wants to divide the land? How will it be divided, where will it be divided, and who can divide it?"

"The imperial court wants to set up a special mining department? Is this an internal supervision of mines, or does the imperial court want to control all mines and prohibit the people from getting involved?"

"Three years of compulsory education? What does this mean? Do all children have to go to school? How is this possible? Also, is it true that girls also have to go to school?"

……

For a while, the entire meeting hall was filled with heated debates, and some people even started arguing and raised their hands.

Zhu Xu returned to Qianqing Palace, and Sun Chuanting and others returned to the cabinet. They not only had to eat, but also controlled and evaluated the affairs of the meeting hall.

Sun Chuanting and a group of people were eating, discussing something from time to time, and at the same time the cabinet officials were reporting back and forth.

Sun Chuanting's policy report cannot explain everything and all policies in one go. It is necessary for specific departments to issue detailed policy rules in the future according to the spirit. Therefore, this report only needs to get the general approval of the members of the parliament, isn't it Detailed policy explanation.

But even so, getting the votes of these lawmakers is not that simple, requiring a lot of work in private and fine-tuning the report.

"Have all the governors of the provinces gone?" Sun Chuanting held a bowl, looked up at Bao Li and said.

Bao Liyou raised his hand and said: "The lower official has already notified in advance, and he must be lobbying now."

Sun Chuanting took a bite and said: "Keep watching, don't let them make trouble, especially don't let them make trouble in front of His Majesty!"

The current parliamentarians are basically led by the governors of the provinces, and these governors are the lobbyists, which will get twice the result with half the effort.
