Li Banghua, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, said: "Your Majesty, the current affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs are mainly focused on 'land reform'. Almost all the land has been acquired, and land surveying is in full swing. The household registration is relatively smooth, and the phenomenon of hiding population has decreased very much. 20 hectares of land will be allocated, and we will be able to promote domestic land allocation next year..."

Fang Kongzhang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said: "Your Majesty, the anti-corruption campaign of the Ministry of Officials has achieved excellent results, and the ranks of officials have been purged. The appointment of officials next year, especially at the county level, has been drawn up and the replacement is expected to be completed in two years. ..."

Lu Daqi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has basically completed the revision of the 'Jingzheng Ritual Law', and it will be released and implemented next year. The revision of the 'Confucian Classics' has already had preliminary results, and other books have also been compiled and submitted. cabinet……"

Almost all these senior officials brought good news to Zhu Xu. Even if there were difficulties, they were not as unattainable and difficult to solve as before.

After a bit of hard work last year, the cabinet is now a lot easier, even though it is still facing a mountain of pressure.

At this time, Zhu Xu couldn't say anything more, took a sip of tea, and encouraged him: "Well, I will listen to this year's big discussion. You should make a plan. When the time comes, you should talk about it like this. Those MPs listen."

It has become a custom for the cabinet to make reports in the parliament. Sun Chuanting was not surprised and calmly responded.

Zhu Xu pondered for a moment, and said: "I'd better move back to the Qianqing Palace. You should renovate the third floor, give the third floor to the council, the second floor to the cabinet, and the first floor to relevant agencies. The offices of other ministries and bureaus should also be redesigned. Neat and not too messy."

Sun Chuanting was a little surprised by this proposal, but it was okay, so he raised his hand and said, "I obey the order."

Zhu Xu looked at Sun Chuanting, thought for a moment, and said nothing.

Sun Chuanting's idea of ​​reforming the Ministry of Household Affairs has been revealed in actual actions, but he has not been reported to him.

Since he didn't say anything, Zhu Xu didn't ask either.

Chapter 1528 Grace

The ninth year of Jingzheng was a very special year in the Ming Dynasty. When scholars of later generations studied this majestic and obscure period, they always mentioned this year repeatedly.

Because this year is a year of qualitative changes in the "Jingzheng New Deal", the starting point of the "Da Ming Zhongxing", and the most difficult, complicated, and special year in the Ming Dynasty.

This year saw great changes in the Ming Dynasty, and almost irreversible changes took place in the officialdom, ruling and opposition parties, scholars, land, public opinion, etc.

That is, the "Jingzheng New Deal" is already in full swing, and the general trend is that no one can oppose or hinder it. Countless people charge into the battle and advance rapidly with the "New Deal".

The five cabinets led by Sun Chuanting, with unprecedented determination, pushed the reform into the deep water area, touched the thousand-year-old feudal land barrier, withstood the pressure, and re-divided the land of Ming Dynasty.

It was a difficult year, but also a glorious one.

At the three-day policy address meeting at the end of the year, Sun Chuanting swore to the parliament and to the entire Ming Dynasty his firm will to reform in a generous, decisive, and confident tone!

Naturally, there are also various data listed and credible, visible forward-looking effects that are almost in front of everyone.

It seems that everyone can see what kind of prosperity the reformed Ming Dynasty will usher in!

Regarding Sun Chuanting's determination, the parliament also gave the most enthusiastic feedback. Last year, Sun Chuanting's report almost failed, but this time the upper and lower houses almost passed it unanimously!

This situation has never happened since there was a parliament!

In the tenth year of Jingzheng, the 16th year of Chongzhen in history, on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Qianqing Palace, South Study Room.

Zhu Xu's four sons, Zhu Ciye, Zhu Cixuan, Zhu Ciyi, and Zhu Cixiu are all in class, and this class is taught by Zhu Xu.

Accompanied by the empress Zhang Yun, chief assistant Sun Chuanting, Zhu Youjian, Fu Changzong and others, they stood by the back wall.

In front, Zhu Xu was sitting cross-legged on the ground, facing four little guys.

The prince Xiao Cixi was six years old, with a fair and tender face, and imitated Zhu Xu's appearance, sitting cross-legged opposite Zhu Xu, with his small face up, and a pair of big black and white eyes, quietly looking at Zhu Xu. .

In front of Zhu Xu was a small teapot. He picked it up, poured a glass of water for the little guy, and said with a smile, "Xiao'er, do you have any ideas to tell Father, or what do you want to do in the future?"

The little guy is the crown prince, whether it is Zhang Yun, Sun Chuanting, Fu Changzong and others who have taught me a lot, the most should be to be a "good emperor".

The little guy was no longer scared away a few years ago. Listening to Zhu Xu's words, the little guy said in a childish voice: "I think my Ming Dynasty has no poverty, my family is healthy, and everyone is peaceful."

Zhu Xu originally thought that the little guy would say things like studying hard and sharing worries for his father in the future, but he didn't expect the little guy to say such a thing.

If it was a minister, even a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, Zhu Xu would praise him, but when it came from the mouth of six-year-old Zhu Cixiu, Zhu Xu didn't know how to speak for a while.

Not far away, Zhang Yun was very nervous, and the handkerchiefs in his hands were unknowingly twisted together.

As a queen, she was under a lot of pressure. Not only did she face the accusations of the officials, but also the pressure from the emperor's heir. Zhu Cixiu, the crown prince, seemed to have no threat, but the succession of the Ming Dynasty's throne had always been the biggest disaster.

In addition, the government and the public were turbulent, the officialdom was turbulent, and Zhu Xu's mind was unpredictable. She did not dare to be sure that Zhu Cixiu would succeed to the throne in a safe and sound manner in the future.

Sun Chuanting, Fu Changzong and others were very satisfied with Zhu Cixiu's answer. The crown prince can have such ambition at a young age, and he might be a wise monarch if he succeeds to the throne.

If it is like this for several decades, Daming will inevitably move towards unprecedented prosperity!

It's not in vain for them to work hard for so many years, I am very relieved!

Zhu Youjian had a rare smile on his face, for Zhu Xu, his emotions were inexplicable.But for Zhu Xu's children, especially Zhu Ciye and Zhu Cixiu, he liked them very much and often invited them to Xinwang's mansion.Although it caused a lot of criticism, and even Princess Zhou was very disturbed, Zhu Youjian remained the same and did not shy away from it.

Zhu Xu was a little difficult to answer Zhu Cixiu's words. He patted his little head and said, "Well, remember what I said today. If you don't change your original intention, you will be able to stick to it."

Although the little guy is only six years old, he is exceptionally intelligent. He nodded heavily and said, "I remember it."

Zhu Xu smiled and turned to his eldest son Zhu Ciye.

Zhu Ciye was born by Li Jieyu. Due to some well-known reasons, Li Jieyu seldom comes out of Fengzao Palace now, and Zhu Ciye was suppressed by her in an extremely low-key manner.

This is Zhu Xu's first son, the eldest son, and he is also his favourite. The little guy is already 11 years old.

Zhu Xu handed him a piece of snack, and said, "Ye'er, I heard that you have been in the Royal Political Academy recently, what are you doing?"

Xiao Ciye has been with Zhu Xu the longest, and he is also the prince who is most familiar with Zhu Xu. His expression was a little stunned. After eating a snack, he blinked and said, "I want to study."

Zhu Xu was not surprised by this, and said with a smile, "What book do you want to read?"

Xiao Ciye said: "The "Heavenly Creation" written by Vice President Song, I really like it."

Zhu Xu thought for a while and said, "What about the other things? Reading is a lifetime thing, so you have to do something else, right?"

Little Ciye's small face seemed to be thinking about it seriously, and after a while, he raised his head and said to Zhu Xu: "I want to write a book."

Zhu Xu looked at the little guy, patted his palm lightly on his knee, nodded with a smile, and said, "Well, that's good, Father also had the same idea when he was a child."

The little guy looked at Zhu Xu in a daze, not knowing whether Zhu Xu agreed or what.

Zhu Xu turned to Zhu Cixuan who was next to Zhu Ciye, and said, "Xuan'er, what about you?"

Zhu Cixuan had been waiting for a long time, straightened his small body, and said excitedly: "Father, my son still wants to be a general who will expand the territory for the father, kill demons and demons, and command hundreds of thousands of troops. That kind!"

This is Zhu Cixuan's wish since he was a child, and it has never changed. The little guy has been working hard for it all these years, practicing martial arts, watching the art of war, and even joined the boy scouts. Write a letter, praising the little one.

Zhu Xu also liked Hailanzhu's second son very much. He took out a purple box from behind him, opened the lid, and handed it to the little guy, saying, "Given to you by the emperor, do you like it?"
