Domineering Daming

After chatting a few more words, Fu Changzong resigned and left. Before he arrived at the household department, he suddenly realized something.

"Does the emperor want me to go to the southwest? What about the cabinet? What exactly is the emperor going to do?" Fu Changzong was deep in thought, unable to figure it out.

At this time, the head of the household department greeted him and said: "My lord, you have written the memorabilia for recommending Mr. Zhang to be the governor of Fujian. Please take a look."

Fu Changzong came to his senses, took it over and said "um", and then said, "Go to the Governor's Council and see how the results of their review are." Although it is impossible to check all the officials one by one, it is still very easy for senior officials of.

"Yes." The principal responded.

Not long after Fu Changzong returned to the household department, in Zhu Xuyu's study, Zhou Yingqiu was writing the report respectfully.

"emperor."

Zhou Yingqiu said: "The scope of the screening of officials is getting wider and wider. Except for the governors of various places, participation in politics and councils has been expanded to the prefect level. At present, they are all investigating whether they are clean and violating the prohibition. Others cannot go deep..."

Zhu Xu nodded from time to time to show that he was listening carefully.

"This year's assessment has been released. The minister plans to make a large-scale appointment and dismissal. The cabinet has been notified, but the cabinet has not responded yet..."

"Officials and ministers from Horqin, Ryukyu, Luzon, Jiugang, Annan, etc. have been selected and dispatched one after another..."

"Currently there is no sign of clique formation in the imperial court, but the students of the Political Academy are very temperamental, and their methods of doing things are completely different from the past, and even the written words are different, faintly becoming a force..."

Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged. The Political Yuan was simplifying the Chinese characters, changing the numbers, and the weights and measures, etc., were all accurate. This naturally caused friction with the current imperial court and local officials.

These all take time and come slowly.

"What do you think of Liaodong?" Zhu Xu asked suddenly after Zhou Yingqiu finished speaking.

Chapter 797 Quick action

Zhou Yingqiu was taken aback, looked up at Zhu Xu, and immediately recalled silently and seriously.

Although Liaodong has a prime minister, it does not have a governor. The area under its command is extremely vast. At present, its main responsibilities are to reclaim wasteland, accept immigrants, and establish a new order in the blank.

The Prime Minister is a kind of official position similar to "inspection". It is half a rank higher than the Shangshu, and it is not a permanent one. Now Sun Chuanting is in charge, and it has been several years.

Zhou Yingqiu didn't quite understand why Zhu Xu changed the subject, but there must be a deep meaning. He recalled for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the land in Liaodong is not enough to be reclaimed. It is still barren and there are few people. More reclamation is needed. The disaster victims in Ghana have a long way to go..."

Zhu Xu picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip of tea, and then seemed to forget what he said just now, and said directly: "Well, I have read all your memorabilia, and I will urge the cabinet to deal with it as soon as possible, you go."

Zhou Yingqiu looked at Zhu Xu, a little puzzled, but raised his hand and said, "Your Excellency will leave."

Zhu Xu didn't even raise his head, and continued flipping through the notebook in his hand.

Zhou Yingqiu withdrew from the imperial study, and on the way out of the palace, lowered his head slightly, frowned, and kept thinking about the conversation in the imperial study.

The emperor would not aim at the target indiscriminately. If he said such a sentence out of nowhere, it must have a deep meaning, but he couldn't figure out the deep meaning.

In recent years, Liaodong still needs a large amount of money and food input. It has spent a lot of effort in resettling the victims and opening up wasteland. It is still not self-sufficient, especially after digesting, and large-scale immigration will start this year.

"What exactly does the emperor want to say?" Standing in front of the palace gate, Zhou Yingqiu was still very puzzled.

Zhu Xu's return to the capital, and walking around outside, was like a mountain suddenly pressing down, and the capital, which was originally turbulent and turbulent, suddenly became quiet.

Some small movements that were supposed to be done, seemed to be suspended, all of them stopped, and countless pairs of eyes looked at the direction of the palace!

No matter what they think of the court situation and seeing the emperor, they can't deny one thing, that is, Jingzheng's control over the court situation far surpasses Tianqi, Wanli, and even the previous generations of emperors, catching up with Taizu Taizong!

Zhu Xu's life is relatively comfortable, criticizing notebooks, teasing and teasing the children, and going to the Compassionate Palace for dinner, he feels more at ease than ever before.

Because of having a child and being accompanied by Li Jieyu, Queen Mother Zhang has less scruples, and everyone likes this feeling very much.

Only in the matter of choosing concubines, Empress Dowager Zhang always hoped to admit more than one into the palace, but Zhu Xu insisted on accepting only one, and directly established the queen to ensure the stability of the harem.

Empress Dowager Zhang was more insistent this time, because Zhu Xu currently only had three women, two of whom were of different races, and they were all pregnant.

Because of this, Zhu Xu had some conflicts with Empress Dowager Zhang. In the end, the old concubine made a decision to marry one a year, which is not too late.

Once the inner court has settled it, the outer court and the cabinet will act more quickly.

The cabinet announced the "acquisition" of Huitong Commercial Bank and others into the imperial court, and the establishment of "Guomao Temple" to manage these commercial firms and chambers of commerce. Others such as customs and racecourses were also included in the cabinet. The Ministry of Households and the Royal Bank dredged various relationships, making the administrative organization of the Ming Dynasty more complete and smooth, and greatly increasing the full power of the cabinet.

The cabinet moved very quickly, and Wei Liangqing and others cooperated quite well, because of the seven people in Guomao Temple, five of them were occupied by the "imperial party", and while they had nothing to lose, they still had official status. Tell everyone that they are Ming officials, not cheap businessmen!

Zhu Xu has been overlooking all of this, and he has almost unimpeded approval of the report on these reports.

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and others hope that the government will be stable, government affairs will be sorted out, and the "New Deal" plan will be promoted in a steady and orderly manner. Zhu Xu is optimistic about its success. The important thing is that at the same time, his plan cannot be affected.

For example, when they took over Huitong Commercial Bank this time, Zhu Xu was very happy. The cabinet seemed to have controlled these things, increased the cabinet's financial power and political power, and was able to effectively "response" Zhu Xu's chaos, but he never saw the next one At the first level, the cabinet took over Huitong Commercial Bank, which hinted one thing to the people of the world, that is, merchants are no longer "cheap", and the imperial court is encouraging the development of commerce and trade!

This is in line with Zhu Xu's purpose of promoting the status of merchants and his intention of developing a commodity economy.

In the imperial study room, Zhu Xu looked at Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong's joint memorial book, which said, "The country is bigger than the field, and the affairs are bigger than the people. The farm is rooted in the people, and the people are in the country. In politics, strict for the people", eloquently, in a word, that is, now that Huitong Commercial Bank and the top ten granaries have been swallowed, the cabinet has the confidence to vigorously respond to the disaster, so as to promote the deepening of the local "New Deal".

Zhu Xu couldn't tell that Bi Ziyan and the others still intentionally controlled the scale of the business and tied everyone to the land.

However, he swiped his pen and wrote the word "quasi".

The Ming Dynasty can’t even strengthen the foundation and cultivate the Yuan. What is needed is scraping the bones to cure the poison. The cabinet is right to do so. As for controlling commercial development, it may be effective when the sea trade cannot be carried out. Zhu Xu It has been decided to completely open the sea ban next year. The cabinet's small thoughts are doomed to be in vain!

Zhu Xu then picked up the cabinet's memorabilia on "Guomao Temple", which talked about some ideas for "Guomao Temple", especially the matching of officials, official rank, power and position, etc.

Zhu Xu looked at it slowly and shook his head secretly. The cabinet was still quite conservative, not even achieving [-]% of what he hoped for, but it was indeed embarrassing for a group of old scholars to have a strategic vision for business.

Throwing it aside, Zhu Xu said: "Notify the cabinet that the sixth rank is too low, and the minister of Guomao Temple is set to be the third rank. It is necessary to set up a supervisory agency, an accounting agency, and a planning agency. It is necessary to formulate development goals, estimate profits, and monitor development. Assess, how much profit will be handed over to the treasury, how much will be kept for self-development, etc., you must submit a detailed statement to me, and tell Bi Ziyan that if the cabinet does not do well, I will reconsider Huitong Commercial Bank belongs to..."

Liu Shimin listened quietly, and waited for Zhu Xu to finish speaking before saying, "Yes."

"It's so easy to eat my food..." Zhu Xu looked at Liu Shimin's back and laughed inwardly.

As soon as Liu Shimin left, an inner eunuch came over with a bunch of memorials, and said, "Your Majesty, these are the memorials of officials from all over the country about 'supplementing cabinet ministers', and the brief servants have already written them."

Zhu Xu took the note, glanced at it, and then his expression moved slightly.

Not only Beijing officials participated in the recommendation of "Cabinet Assistant Ministers", but officials outside Beijing also gradually realized that one after another memorials have been flown into the Supervisor of Rites, and there are already more than 30 copies.

Zhu Xu pushed aside, saw another one at hand, and said, "What is this?"

The inner eunuch lowered his head and said: "It's the memorabilia of Wei Yuanshan, a member of Jiangsu Province. Please ask the emperor to establish the crown prince."

Zhu Xu raised his brows, his expression was quite surprised, he didn't even establish a queen, and he didn't have a son, so what kind of prince should he establish?

He reached out to take Wei Yuanshan's memorabilia, flipped through it, and opened it. It was not for grandstanding, the language was quite plain, and he implicitly pointed out that the crown prince had "the danger of the country", hoping to establish an heir early and stabilize people's hearts.

Zhu Xu tapped the table with his right hand, and the crisp sound of horseshoes sounded.

The current Daming is indeed in a situation where people are fluctuating and everyone is irritable. They need to appease people's hearts. With the presence of the prince and prince, it can indeed make many people stop thinking about it and save a lot of trouble.
