Domineering Daming

Then there is the Household Department, the importance of the Household Department is self-evident, money and food are in hand, the emperor's purse, and the Household Minister is still the emperor's uncle, which shows the weight.

The tax collection rights have been taken out of the household part, and the money bank has been divided, which can be said to be painful and greatly slimmed down.

This is extremely unreasonable. Generally speaking, the powers and duties of the six ministries have been expanding, including the Ministry of War. This is the emperor's need, but the emperor values ​​it the most and is the most loyal to the emperor. But the power has been cut!

If this spreads to the outside world, I'm afraid it will be a major earthquake that shocks the world!

Fortunately, everyone present was a sensible person. The SAT was still under the guidance of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Fu Tao was in charge of the Royal Bank that managed the national treasury. It can be said that although the Ministry of Household Affairs was reformed, it still did not break away from Fu Changzong's control.

Not surprisingly, the reform of the household department was unanimously approved.

Then there is the Ministry of Industry. The authority of the Ministry of Industry is expanding and also being reduced, including casting warships, repairing palaces, etc. All of these will be newly established as commercial banks, which will be assigned to Huitong Commercial Bank, which is gradually being reorganized.

The powers of the Ministry of Punishment are also expanding, especially the Prison Division, which has taken over the entire country's prisons. Such power is enough to make the local people panic and even fear.Fortunately, the prison department is under the dual jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment and the local government, so it will not be completely passive.

The authority of the Ministry of Rites has also been expanded, and most of the power of Honglu Temple has been handed over, responsible for the national etiquette system, receiving foreign guests, and so on.

The authority of the Ministry of War is being narrowed, because the Ministry of War needs to complete the military reform in the past few years, and its power has continued to expand. Now that the military reform has been basically completed, it is time to decentralize power, but it is still more powerful than Tianqi's previous power.

On this point, the courtiers were unusually unified, even if Shen Yongmao, Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting and others were pushing hard, there was no resistance.

After the six ministries, it is the authority of the local yamen.

The governor's yamen joined forces with the chief envoy. According to the second division of the procuratorate, the commanding department was reorganized into the governor's yamen.

The governors and governors of the Ming Dynasty were all appointed because the three local divisions fought against each other and there was no authority, but they were not permanent. They were often the role of imperial envoys, and they would leave after a while.

Zhu Xu destroyed the political system of Ming Dynasty from top to bottom and rebuilt it. The authority of the governor's office far exceeds that of the second division in the past. The administrative power covers the whole province.

There are advantages and disadvantages. Generally speaking, the power has increased several times, far exceeding the previous governor.

The governor's yamen is no different from the past guard system. It is directly divided into three levels of provincial capital and county, provincial soldiers, government soldiers, and county soldiers. They are not involved in government affairs and focus on local government affairs.

The centralization of local minds is also a need. The ministers of the imperial court worried that the local government would become too big, so they imposed very strict restrictions.

These governors and governors are very happy about the expansion of power, but they dare not speak out because they feel bitter about those restrictions.

There were no surprises in the vote, and it passed smoothly, and the next step was the appointment.

The governors and governors of various provinces have too much power to stay in one place for a long time, so this time there will be a rotation.

The internal situation of Ming Dynasty is very complicated. Except for Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, other places are full of difficulties, especially in the southwest, where the governors and governors are working hard.The governor of Shaanxi in history, the governor did not know how many were killed by Chongzhen, which shows the difficulty.

In the eighteen provinces, except for Wang Sanshan and others who have a strong sense of responsibility, everyone else wants to go to the rich south.

Bi Ziyan took a look, intending to pass it at once today, but these people must have a lot of resentment in their hearts for the series of changes just now. After pondering, they looked at Sun Chengzong and said, "That's all for today. Regarding the governors of the provinces, Regarding the governor's arrangement, you can discuss it with the cabinet, and the cabinet will make proper arrangements."

A group of officials in frontiers all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, some places are equivalent to death, and they must not go there.

Every move of Wenzhao Pavilion fell into Zhu Xu's eyes, and he got the record as soon as Wenzhao Pavilion left.

Looking at the rough cabinet discussion, he shook his head secretly.

However, this is already considered good. If it is placed in the Tianqi Dynasty, even the Wenzhao Pavilion may be demolished.

Zhu Xu waved the inner eunuch back, heaving a sigh of relief in his heart, finally there was a result, no matter whether it was good or bad, he had taken this step.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Xu begs to see you." Liu Shimin saw that Zhu Xu had a gap, so he stepped forward and said.

Zhu Xu was slightly stunned, then remembered, and said, "Well, let him come in."

Liu Shimin bowed there and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Xu said that he brought Tang Ruowang to ask for an audience."

Zhu Xu squinted his eyes immediately. It's not that he didn't know Tang Ruowang, but he had been deliberately avoiding him.

This person wholeheartedly wants to preach in Daming, but everyone in Daming respects the heaven and earth, saints, and ancestors. How can he believe in God?

Therefore, Tang Ruowang and some missionaries in front of him suffered serious setbacks when they preached in Daming.Therefore, they changed their strategy, took "science and technology" as the forerunner, and made friends with the upper-class scholar-bureaucrats of Ming Dynasty, including Li Yizao, Xu Guangqi and others, who liked him very much, and it was even rumored that Xu Guangqi was baptized into a religion.

What shocked Zhu Xu the most was that a while ago, [-] eunuchs joined the church and were going to be baptized in the palace!

Naturally, Zhu Xu stopped him and expelled all the Westerners in the palace, including Tang Ruowang who had served in Qin Tianjian for two years.

This time when Xu Guangqi brought him into the palace, he had to talk about the issue of "missionary".

Zhu Xu does not reject the church, but behind the missionaries are often the pioneers of European colonization!Even if some people are sincerely preaching, his writings will also become accomplices when they are spread back to Europe.

Now is the time when the Dutch are arrogant at sea, Zhu Xu needs to maintain the mystery and strength of Ming Dynasty to the outside world, and maintain the stability of the sea.

Therefore, Zhu Xu had long ago decided to strengthen the control of customs and ports, restrict these Europeans from entering the land, and control their range of activities.

Liu Shimin looked at Zhu Xu quietly, with doubts in his eyes. He didn't know why Xu Guangqi asked for an audience, and the emperor would ponder for so long with a slightly gloomy complexion.

After a while, Zhu Xu came back to his senses, and said with his head down: "Well, let them come in."

"Yes." Liu Shimin responded, and ordered the eunuch to send a pass.

Xu Guangqi was dressed in a servant's uniform, his face was tired, he coughed from time to time, he came in and raised his hand to Zhu Xu: "My servant Xu Guangqi, see the emperor."

Tang Ruowang was a stooped middle-aged man with a high nose, blue eyes, curly hair, a calm smile, and a gentle face. Like Xu Guangqi, he raised his hand and said, "Tang Ruowang, see His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."

Tang Ruowang is not his real name, he chose it himself according to the custom of the Han people.He has been in the Ming Dynasty for many years, and his knowledge is not inferior to some Jinshi. In addition, he is from outside the region, and his eyes are open, which is quite respected by the people of the country.

Zhu Xu looked calm and said: "Everyone is free of courtesy, come and give me a seat."

Xu Guangqi's expression moved slightly, with gratitude in his eyes, he raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Tang Ruowang followed and saluted, without saying a word, his eyes were vague, always looking at Zhu Xu.

He knew that whether he and his fellow believers could preach in the Ming Dynasty was up to this person to decide.

Tang Ruowang's expression remained unchanged, and he was secretly amazed that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was really young, he seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he possessed amazing extraordinary courage.Some reforms and ideas are quite consistent with some radical ideas in Europe.

"Thinking like the sea, eyes like the stars" This is Tang Ruowang's evaluation of Zhu Xu from the bottom of his heart.

Zhu Xu looked at Xu Guangqi, knowing that the old man might not be in good health, so he said with concern: "I will give you a rest for half a month, and I will send an imperial physician to live in the house, so that you can recuperate at ease, and don't worry too much about other things."

Xu Guangqi coughed again and again, stood up quickly and said: "I thanked the emperor, but I'm fine, I won't miss the government affairs..."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "I know, if I tell you to rest, rest."

The corner of Xu Guangqi's mouth twitched, without arguing, he raised his hand and said, "I obey the order."

In fact, Xu Guangqi also knew his physical condition, but the so-called "a scholar dies for his confidant", the current emperor is his bole!He has many things to do, for the emperor, and for himself!The emperor's concern shocked him, and he wanted to do more things before he died.

Zhu Xu originally wanted to ask about the Armament Bureau, but seeing that Xu Guangqi was seriously ill, he had no choice but to turn to Tang Ruowang and ask, "Mr. Tang, what are you doing here to see me?"

"Perhaps, we can find a bridge to communicate with the Dutch from this person..." Zhu Xu suddenly thought to himself.
