Prince of Chaos

Chapter 706 The Prosperous Age of Ming Dynasty

Both Shen Sixiao and Wang Xijue retired.

The remaining few older cabinet members and members of the Military Aircraft Department will naturally stay here soon.

Therefore, the high-level changes in the imperial court in the next period of time can almost be described as earthquakes, but even so, these are controllable.

After all, this personnel change did not involve party disputes, and no one left in despair. It was completely carried out by Zhu Changluo's will. Therefore, this change of members of the cabinet and the military aircraft department is very important to officials in Beijing. An inspiring event.

Everyone is looking forward to this, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has long said that he will appoint some young officials to serve in the imperial court.

This is undoubtedly the sound of nature for those who have worked so hard for their qualifications.

Therefore, when Shen Sixiao, Wang Xijue, and several subsequent cabinet members and members of the Military Aircraft Department voluntarily resigned, everyone was very excited.

Now Dong Qichang's house can be described as crowded.

Anyone who is not blind can see that Dong Qichang will definitely ascend to the top position of the chief assistant of the cabinet or the chief of the military aircraft this time. It is definitely not wrong to hug the thigh at this time.

In the Ciqing Palace, Zhu Changluo still dealt with the accumulated government affairs every day, and Dong Qichang was also stationed in the Ciqing Palace to prepare for the consultation of His Highness the Crown Prince.

After all, no matter whether it is the cabinet or the military aircraft department, there are currently two people left in the cabinet, one is Dong Qichang and the other is Liu Pinru.

The same situation also appeared in the Military Aircraft Department. Zhong Huamin, who was originally appointed as the cabinet minister, was left out by Zhu Changluo again because of the last court meeting.

So on the second day when Shen Sixiao retired and returned to his hometown, Zhu Changluo made an order to transfer Zhong Huamin from the cabinet to the Military Aircraft Department, and at the same time replaced Zhong Huamin's Minister of Punishment with his old position as Fang Shoushi.

Fang Shoushi is not young anymore, and it is not appropriate for Shuntian Mansion to continue to burden him. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Zhu Changluo also granted Fang Shoushi's resignation and allowed him to return to his hometown for retirement. At the same time, Zhu Changluo gave Fang Shoushi a very high honor and favor.

After Fang Shoushi retired and returned to his hometown, Zhu Changluo also decreed and granted Fang Shoushi the honorary post of Zuo Zhuguo, Prince Taifu, and gave Fang Shoushi the retirement treatment of a first-rank official.

"Zhong Qing, do you have any complaints about Gu putting you in Shuntian Mansion's position?"

Zhu Changluo put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Zhong Huamin.

Zhong Huamin knelt down on the ground, and hurriedly replied: "Thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king, and the minister is willing to do so."

Zhu Changluo smiled, and Zhu Changluo said: "It's very comforting for Zhong Qing to have such an awareness. Although the position of Yin of Shuntian Prefecture is not one of the six departments of the imperial court, its importance is not equal to the six departments."

"Moreover, in some respects, Shuntian Fuyin is more important than the Six Departments! Zhong Qing is good at practical affairs. Whether in Henan or Lanzhou, Zhong Qing's ability is obvious to all."

"In disaster relief in Henan, Zhong Qing single-handedly saved millions of Li Shu in Henan, and also solved some clan problems for the orphans. After arriving in Lanzhou, Zhong Qing carried forward the spirit of seeking truth and being pragmatic. Within five years, It built the dilapidated Lanzhou into a famous city in the northwest, and also laid the foundation for the establishment of the Chief Secretary of Gansu."

"Such a great talent, I am very gratified. Now the capital has reached a critical moment. In the past 20 years, the population of the capital has tripled compared with that of Wanli 15 years ago."

"The current population of the capital is comparable to that of Chang'an in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, with nearly 300 million people! The livelihood of these 300 million people is also in the hands of the Shuntian Mansion. If there is no strong strength, Gu Yiyi will not make it easy. This job is assigned to someone else."

"Compared with the original Lanzhou, today's capital is also very similar. The current capital also needs further transformation and expansion."

"The Damingmen Square in front of Chengtianmen is the most important part of the reconstruction of the capital, and road planning and demolition are also important issues that cannot be avoided."

"If Zhong Qing can do these things well, it will not only be beneficial for the present, but also for the future! The capital is the most important thing. The capital is not only the heart of Ming Dynasty, but also the aspiration of the people of the world."

When Zhong Huamin heard what Zhu Changluo said, the resentment in his heart disappeared.

After all, who doesn't want to be recognized for doing something?
Now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has recognized his pragmatic work attitude and his practical work style, so he will naturally have no more complaints.

What's more, after the last court meeting, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't like some of his behavior, he finally tolerated him and gave him a suitable position and errand.

It can be seen from this that the crown prince's tolerance for people has also caught up with the ancient sages, and it is Zhong Huamin's life's luck to follow such a wise lord.

Therefore, Zhong Huamin is naturally grateful to Zhu Changluo.

After appeasing Zhong Huamin, Zhu Changluo let Zhong Huamin leave.

Looking at the back of Zhong Huamin leaving, Zhu Changluo also sighed, he was able to keep Zhong Huamin not because he was really big, but because he really didn't have much talent in his hands.

Therefore, it can only be like this, continue to use Zhong Huamin, let him continue to use his spare heat, and build a good capital for himself.

After all, with the rapid development of these years, the original capital roads have become more and more congested and narrow, which simply cannot support the rapid development of the capital.

Therefore, the expansion project of the capital is also a top priority.

However, Zhu Changluo did not make drastic changes to the capital. He still tried his best to preserve the original flavor of the capital, focusing on the new city centered on Xishan Huangzhuang.

There is not too much involvement there, and there are not many places of interest and historic sites that can only be found inside the capital. It is completely like a blank paper. On this blank paper, Zhu Changluo can naturally draw the future of the capital according to his dreams.

There, Zhu Changluo ordered the construction of the first comprehensive large-scale railway station, and named it Jingshi West Railway Station.

According to Zhu Changluo's future rules, Jingshi West Station will be the largest and busiest super station in Jingshi. In the future, there will be countless trains leading to all parts of Daming and the world.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo made the planning of the West Beijing Railway Station extremely ahead of schedule!
Now anyone who sees the planning blueprint of Jingshi West Station will involuntarily gasp!
Because this station is really too big, its size is half the size of the Forbidden City.

Such a huge building is the first time in the hundreds of years of Ming Dynasty's architectural history.

Therefore, when people saw this super project landed on the land of Xishan Huangzhuang, no one was amazed, and they all thought that they had witnessed history in their lifetime.

And this project has also become the symbol of Daming ZTE by good people!

Many people are excited and think that when this super station is completed, it will be the proof that Ming Dynasty has entered the prosperous age!
After Zhong Huamin left, Zhu Changluo said to Sun Xian: "Go and call Master Dong in."

Sun Xian received the order and immediately went to Dong Qichang.

After hearing Zhu Changluo's summoning, Dong Qichang quickly put down what he was doing and went to Ciqing Palace.

"Your Majesty Dong Qichang sees His Royal Highness the Holy Prince!"

Every time Dong Qichang went to Ciqing Palace, he bowed down in such a respectful way.

"Flat body."

Zhu Changluo looked at Dong Qichang and said, "How is Master Dong?"

Dong Qichang replied: "Thanks to His Highness's blessing, I have been doing well together recently."

Zhu Changluo said with a smile: "Yes. People should be in good spirits on happy occasions. Now Shen Qing and Wang Qing have retired and returned to their hometowns. Wang Jiaping, Shen Li, Shen Yiguan, and Xing Jie have also handed in their resignations. The cabinet and Six people from the Military Aircraft Department resigned in one fell swoop. Only you, Liu Pinru, and Zhong Huamin are left."

"Now all the officials in the government and the opposition are all twitching eagerly. I guess some people are starting to call you Prime Minister Dong now, right?"

Hearing what Zhu Changluo said, Dong Qichang was shocked, "I'm terrified."

Zhu Changluo waved his hand and said, "Master Dong, don't panic. Gu didn't mean to blame you. It's human nature that you are treated so courteously by the officials. Gu is not an unreasonable person, so Master Dong better relax. "

After hearing these words, Dong Qichang was still flustered, and some sweat broke out unconsciously on his forehead.

No one would like to play a big role in front of the powerful crown prince. After all, some things are very taboo, and if you are not careful, you will overstep it.

And Dong Qichang has been cautious all his life, and he is about to climb to the top in one step. How could he be willing to stumble at this time.

Therefore, Dong Qichang immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I can learn from the sun and the moon, and the world can show my loyalty to Your Highness. Those people are just people who follow others, and I have never paid any attention to them. During this period of time, I have always been closed." Thank you at the door."

Zhu Changluo said: "Gu is aware of Master Dong's loyalty. I told you this to remind Master Dong. Master Dong is the pillar of the imperial court, how can he shut out all the officials who come and go like this?"

"How can a chief of military aircraft without his own team be able to open up the situation and do well the errands entrusted to you by the court?"

Dong Qichang was instantly excited.

His Royal Highness the crown prince finally relented. Although the new job given by the crown prince was not the chief assistant of the cabinet that he had been thinking about, the chief of the military aircraft was also an unusually important position.

Now, the imperial court has a tendency to separate the government and the army.The main responsibilities of the Military Aircraft Department are also focused on Daming's military field.

In the past, Dong Qichang must have felt that the Military Aircraft Department would be inferior to the cabinet.But with the rise of these nine borders and the expansion of the Tianjin Zhili Navy and Daming's overseas garrison, Dong Qichang understood that the authority of the Military Aircraft Department would never be under the cabinet.

What's more, the Military Aircraft Department now controls serious powerful forces and a cornucopia of wealth. Life is much better than that of the cabinet.

The cabinet is like an old woman, every day is concerned about the troubles and twists and turns in the Ming Dynasty. Dong Qichang, who has been the second assistant of the cabinet these years, worries most about money.

Today either there is a famine here, or there is a problem there.

All of them are messy things that make people burnt out, and most of these things are related to money.

And the three melons and two dates in the household department are not enough for the two capitals, [-], oh no, now there are [-] provinces.

Therefore, Dong Qichang has a personal experience of how difficult the life of the cabinet is.

However, the Military Aircraft Department is different.

Because of Shen Sixiao, the Ministry of Industry has always been under the Military Aircraft Department. The Ministry of Industry has mastered more than half of Daming's cement quota. Now, no matter where they want to build roads or use it for other purposes, they have to ask the Ministry of Industry for approval.

On this point, the Ministry of Industry has made a lot of money over the years.

There is also the Ministry of War. The original Ministry of War is also a money-losing product. It asks the Ministry of Households for silver to pay the army every day.

It can be said that the Ministry of War in the early years was definitely a yamen that people hated ghosts. Moreover, Jiubian and Liaodong were still not peaceful, so it is conceivable that there are disgusting people in the Ministry of War.

However, since the victory of the Korean War and the signing of the Seoul Treaty between Daming and the Japanese pirates in Seoul, the situation in the Ministry of War has been reversed.

The Ministry of War controls the most important overseas bases and overseas ports. These places are golden bags where money makes money. Moreover, the mutual markets on the nine sides also have to pay part of the security management fee to the Ministry of War for military use. It can be said that the current Ministry of War not only throws away Lost the biggest burden, but also became a good fortune boy.

There is also Tianjin Wei's shipyard, which is also under the Ministry of War. With the continuous improvement of firearms, the original regulation that civilian ships must not exceed 400 materials has now been cancelled.

All of a sudden, the demand for sea-going ships among the people increased exponentially, and the Ministry of War made a lot of money by relying on the sea-going ship orders from Tianjin Shipyard.

It can be said that the completion of the current Military Aircraft Department is the most comfortable power organization in Ming Dynasty, and it is still the only one.

"I understand, I thank Lord Long En!"

Dong Qichang bowed excitedly, thanking Zhu Changluo for his kindness.

Zhu Changluo looked at Dong Qichang who was so excited, and said: "How important the Military Aircraft Department is, I think you should understand without talking too much alone. Although Daming is invincible today, with the continuous deepening of contacts with Taixi, you should also have some urgency." And a sense of crisis."

"Although Taixi is thousands of miles away from Daming and does not border on it, with the development of Dongzhou and the restoration of the Old Port Propaganda Department, the friction between Daming and Taixi has gradually increased."

"Just here I have received a report. Every year there are many conflicts between Ming ships and Taixi ships at sea. Moreover, most of the islands and kingdoms under the original jurisdiction of the Xuanwei Department in the old port have fallen into the hands of the Taixi people. How could they give up so easily?"

"Therefore, I dare to assert that there will be a battle between Da Ming and Taixi in the future, and this battle will last for a very long time, and the place where the battle will be fought will be very wide."

"After all, the general trend of the world has always been that if you don't advance, you will retreat. The big land in Dongzhou, such a fertile place, the Taixi people are not fools, and they will definitely not give it up to Daming to develop."

"In the same way, the competition for Nanzhou south of the Xuanweisi in the old port and the Kunlun slave land that has not been set foot in the Ming Dynasty until now will become even more intense."

"The world is no longer the original world. The original world was nothing more than the two capitals and thirteen provinces under the foot of Daming. Today's world is the whole world."

"The current situation is very similar to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period in 2000. Whoever falls behind in this competition will eventually perish. Therefore, you should also understand the sense of urgency of being alone."

"The Prosperous Age of Guyao is not only a prosperous age where you can eat enough, but also an invincible prosperous age! Only by maintaining the strength of Da Ming, can Da Ming's prosperous age last forever!"
