Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

"But the magistrate of Xingyang County will not be able to take office within two or three years."

Huang Liji clings to this point and doesn't let go.

Huang Liqing was a good minister praised by the emperor, and the emperor really appreciated that Huang Liqing wanted to promote him.

But Huang Liqing himself said that he would stick to Xingyang and wait for Xingyang to be rebuilt. In those two or three years, Huang Liqing couldn't do without Xingyang.

What's more, Huang Liqing also said that his qualifications are shallow and his ability is insufficient. Could it be possible for Huang Liqing to become the governor directly from the county magistrate?

There is no such example in the imperial court!

Zhang Haogu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "This pavilion has also considered this point. Now that the flood in Henan has been calmed down, it is also a waste of time. The flood in Henan has also been found out, and it was not the governor of Henan who embezzled money to build river embankments Unfavorable, but a natural disaster. The performance of the governor of Henan is also remarkable, and he can be entrusted with important tasks. Huang Xiang, you might as well give him more burdens first."

Huang Liji was stunned, Zhang Haogu actually wanted Zhou Jinyong to be the governor of the two provinces? !
Wei Guangwei asked: "Yuan Fu means that Zhou Jinyong will also be the governor of Hubei?"

Zhang Haogu nodded slightly: "Why not?"

Zhang Ruitu smiled and said: "Huang Xiang, I agree with Yuan Fu's words. Zhou Jinyong, governor of Henan Province, has performed as an official, and the emperor also appreciates him a lot. Those who are capable work harder, and they should be burdened."

Huang Liji looked at Qiao Yunsheng. This is a member of the Donglin Party. In such a big issue, it is impossible for him to favor Zhang Haogu and let the new party enter the Huguang area, right?
"Qiao Xiang, what do you think?" Huang Liji wanted Qiao Yunsheng's support.

Why is there three people in the new party and three people in the Donglin Party in the cabinet? Isn't it just to balance the court and prevent one side from becoming powerful?
Now that the New Party has firmly grasped the first assistant, the second assistant, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Rites, it can be said that it has great power. If we watch the New Party take Hubei, then the basic situation of the Donglin Party members in the south will really be lost. Crashed.

But Qiao Yunsheng looked like a bachelor: "On this matter, a few of you can discuss it."

Zhang Haogu asked with a smile: "So, why don't you make a decision?"

Huang Liji and Wei Guangwei looked at each other and sighed secretly, this matter cannot be stopped.

The candidate for the governor of Hubei came to an end, and the next topic was thrown out. Zhang Haogu took advantage of the situation to pursue it, and did not show any favor to the old Donglin party. Until the end of the cabinet meeting, Huang Liji and Wei Guangwei were in a trance Leaving announced the new party's complete victory.

The new party pushes the new policy, the new policy is not a dinner party, neither is the party struggle.

After the incident here, Zhang Haogu went to Xiyuan, where Zhu Youxiao's rare cultivated sentiment was swayed to express his feelings and landscapes. Eunuch Wei leaned very close to him, smiling as brightly as a blooming chrysanthemum.

Seeing Zhang Haogu coming, he quickly said: "Master Zhang is here, take a look at the new paintings of the emperor."

Zhu Youxiao also put down his pen and waved: "Look, master, how about this painting?"

Zhang Haogu looked up and saw that this painting depicts the majestic scenery of mountains and rivers, obviously he had made up his mind before he wrote it: "The emperor's work is magnificent."

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "If you don't see the great Ming Dynasty with your own eyes, just read the records of the predecessors in the book, or look at the picture scroll, there is always something missing, and it is difficult to draw a picture with artistic conception."

"Compared to this painting, craftsman work is more suitable for me. It is a wonderful thing to study objects to learn, and to study objects to know."

Zhu Youxiao smiled happily, and he didn't just refer to this painting.

Zhang Haogu said: "Your Majesty, the Governor of Hubei has been discussed by the cabinet."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, looked at his words with a pen and thought about the title: "Who is it?"

Zhang Haogu said: "The cabinet discussed, and Zhou Jinyong, the governor of Henan, will temporarily replace the governor of Hubei."

Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied with this: "Well, temporarily acting as the governor of Hubei, it's a lot of work for those who are capable, and who is the real candidate, who does Master look up to?"

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Xingyang county magistrate."

Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes."

In Zhu Youxiao's heart, he really planned to let Huang Liqing be the governor of Hubei.

Xingyang is already his base, and this Huang Liqing is also his man. This is a loyal minister and an official. Zhu Youxiao naturally wants to put him in an important position. The land of Henan and Hubei is located in the Central Plains and connects the four directions. It would be appropriate to hand it over to Huang Liqing.

As for age, as for qualifications.
Just kidding, when did he check the age and qualifications of the officials he appointed?

After chatting with Zhu Youxiao for a while, Zhang Ruitu also came. After seeing Zhang Haogu and Eunuch Wei, Zhang Ruitu stepped forward with a smile: "Yuanfu, Eunuch Wei."

Eunuch Wei laughed and said, "Did Zhang Xiang write a new script?"

Zhang Ruitu said with a smile: "Hearing about the experience of the emperor, Yuanfu, and Eunuch Wei on this trip, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and a new playbook was created."

Eunuch Wei said: "Oh, then you have to show this to the emperor."

This is different from the past. In the past, artistic processing was greater than reality, but this time, Eunuch Wei participated in the whole process, and he was naturally very happy. The things he personally experienced were written into dramas, which may be circulated for hundreds of years.

"Zhang Aiqing, did Tianqi micro-service private interview record a new play?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

Zhang Ruitu quickly took out the script from his sleeve and handed it over: "Please read, Your Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao unfolded it, and unconsciously put on a smile on his face: "Good! Good!"

"This drama is well written, I like it very much!"

This drama, first of all, is to praise Zhu Youxiao, regardless of other things, the emperor must be the most just, the most benevolent and the most caring for the people, and the least able to see the suffering of the people.

The play reads: Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of Tianqi, and Zhang Haogu, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, who were busy with government affairs in the capital, suddenly received a lawsuit from someone, saying that there were corrupt officials in Hubei who oppressed the people and made the people miserable.Emperor Apocalypse was furious. He took Zhang Haogu, the chief assistant, Eunuch Wei, the top eunuch, and others to make a private visit to Hubei to investigate the people's conditions. He happened to encounter a scene of corrupt officials oppressing the people. He immediately beat the corrupt officials to rescue the people. Hearing of the flood in Henan, he immediately rushed to Henan to fight the flood and rescue the disaster together with the people. Until the end of the flood, the corrupt officials in Hubei rushed to Henan to avenge their own people and wanted to kill the emperor. Facing the siege of officers and soldiers, Henan Governor Zhou Jinyong arrived in time , Emperor Apocalypse officially took off his vest to restore his identity
In short, this is a very qualified drama, with ups and downs, thrills, and climaxes. It is a pity for Zhang Ruitu, the Minister of Rites and the second minister of the Ming Dynasty, to be an official.

Zhang Haogu was lamenting that if it wasn't for the fact that Daming didn't have the technology to make movies, Zhang Ruitu should be allowed to make a big movie, called Tianqi Weifu Private Interview Series, which would definitely be a hit.

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao was satisfied, Zhang Ruitu said again: "Your Majesty, I have already ordered people to write about the Henan incident in the Da Ming Daily and spread it all over the world. It will not take long for the people in the world to know how benevolent the Emperor is for the people."

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Well, good."

"This drama, hurry up and let the troupe rehearse, I'm in a hurry to read it."

Zhang Ruitu said with a smile: "Don't worry, your majesty, this play will be performed in a few days."

Zhang Ruitu really put his heart into this matter. The Ministry of Rites is not only in charge of diplomacy, but also education, publicity and so on.

As the new issue of Ming Pao spread across the country, and as the latest drama of Tianqi Weifu Private Interview compiled by Zhang Ruitu spread among various theater troupes, people everywhere knew that their Emperor Tianqi of Ming Dynasty really made decisions for the people good emperor.

If you don’t believe me, take a look, throughout the ages, emperors have been made of gold, how could anyone go to a dangerous situation in person?

But Emperor Tianqi was able to fight the flood with the people in Xingyang, and even dared to jump into the flood to fight the flood peak. This is not a good emperor, so what is a good emperor?
And then at the common people's banquet, they returned to the common people in the world, and the fathers and fellow villagers saluted. This is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, the most respected in the world!

For a time, the love and admiration for Zhu Youxiao by the people all over the Ming Dynasty skyrocketed.

The people in the north have enjoyed the benefits and policies of the New Deal, and they are convinced of this, while the people in the south are somewhat skeptical, but through the spread of businessmen, the people know that this is true, the emperor of Ming Dynasty is so benevolent, that is A good emperor who really cared about the people.

There is no new policy in the South today. It is not that the emperor does not implement it, but that there is a problem with the officials below.

Didn't you see that the emperor punished so many corrupt officials when he arrived in Hubei?

Thinking of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty saluting his fathers and fellow villagers, entrusting the people with the Great Ming’s Qianqiu community, the New Deal has been implemented in Hubei, and it has begun to advance gradually. The people in other places in the south are also holding back their burning thoughts. Let them wait a little longer, and when the New Deal is implemented to them, life will be easier.

And what this Da Ming Pao brings to the people is hope and love for Zhu Youxiao. It is undoubtedly a shock to the officials in the south. What will happen to those officials who deceived the emperor and corrupted the law? pass?
The head of Xingyang, Henan was rolling, and most of the officials in Hubei were cut off in Henan. Not only the officials in Hubei were frightened, but who in the south were not afraid?
For a while, the official atmosphere in the whole south really improved a lot, and the common people obviously felt that life seemed to be a little better than before. Thinking about the propaganda of the Ming Pao, and watching the Emperor Apocalypse sung in the drama, the common people are I love Zhu Youxiao even more, and I am more and more looking forward to and proud of today's apocalyptic prosperity.

In addition to the common people and officials of the Ming Dynasty who were influenced by the Ming Pao, scholars from various countries who studied in the Ming Dynasty were also deeply influenced by the Da Ming Pao.

After all, this is the newspaper of the Ming court, and what is written on it is either major events that affect Ming Dynasty, or the policy direction of the court. How can students from all over the world not pay attention?

Didn't you see that the Qing Emperor Huang Taiji in the Northeast and the civil servants and military generals of the Qing Dynasty are all holding a copy of the Ming Pao every day?

In Jinling, the Imperial College of the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty, overseas students from various countries gathered together, and everyone held a copy of the Ming Dynasty to talk loudly:

A student of Sulu saluted politely: "Brothers, my younger brother thinks that the reason why the country is strong and the people rich is not only because the country is rich in land and resources, but also because the emperor of the country is benevolent and loves the people. How can the common people refuse to die? We wait After studying and returning to the country, if you want to strengthen the country, you still need to study the country."

A North Korean student replied: "Brother Li's words are very true. Since Shangguo has successfully implemented this new policy, we will be able to advise our respective kings and learn from the new policy in the future."

Who is next to North Korea?

To the east is Dongyi, and Dongyi invaded from time to time, especially during the Wanli period, if it wasn't for Da Ming's father's help, North Korea would have perished.

Until now, Dongyi still harassed North Korea from time to time, coveting North Korean land.

To the west, don't mention it, it was the former Houjin, and now the Qing Dynasty.

Although the Eight Banners masters of the Qing Dynasty can't beat Ming Dynasty now, they are really safe to bully North Korea.

North Korea is small and the people are declining, with few soldiers and few generals. Now that they don't think about ways to become stronger, how can they survive under the watchful eyes of this powerful enemy?

As young North Korean students with ideals and aspirations, who wholeheartedly want North Korea to become stronger, they are eagerly pursuing all possible ways to make North Korea stronger.

Another student from North Korea stood up: "Brothers, don't think that what can be successful in Shangguo is not necessarily applicable in our country. We also need to adapt to local conditions. Shangguo has a vast land, abundant products, and rich people's livelihood. If you have a country, you can implement it." New Deal, do we have such a national foundation?"

A student in Dacheng couldn't help but nodded: "Brother Jin's words are reasonable. What is suitable for going to the country may not be suitable for us."

The North Korean student who spoke at the beginning asked, "Brother Jin, do you think that North Korea is not suitable for carrying out the New Deal?"

The student surnamed Jin said: "We can carry out the New Deal, but we can't follow the example of Shangguo. We need to implement the New Deal according to our actual situation. In fact, we can start from the most basic. carry out the initial promotion, and then carry out the New Deal step by step.”

"Take currency as an example. I have money in North Korea. You Sulu, Dacheng, Nanzhang, and Talong all have their own money, or gold, silver, or copper and iron. Isn't it too inconvenient? Why don't countries learn from Shangguo? , how about using paper money to facilitate trade?"

He said to a student: "If you want to use paper money, can it be credited if it is made by each country?"

Someone said: "We can use Shangguo's money, Shangguo's reputation is good, use Shangguo's money to do business in various countries, is this credit enough?"

A group of students couldn't help but nod their heads. Unknowingly, the East Asian economic exchange circle gradually took shape in the discussion of these students.
In the capital, Zhu Youxiao also received a lot of papers. It was the people from all over the south who hoped that the court would speed up the promotion of the New Deal so that they could also enjoy the benefits of the New Deal.

Zhu Youxiao called all the cabinet ministers to discuss the new deal.

Faced with the turbulent sentiments of the people in the south, Huang Liji and Wei Guangwei, the two leaders of the Donglin Party, dare not say no lightly, and Qiao Yunsheng completely wants to become an official. It seems that the implementation of the New Deal is unstoppable, but Zhang Haogu He stood up and shouted to stop: "Your Majesty, elders, the people in the south are eager for a new deal. This is a good thing for the court."

"But are we really ready for the New Deal to roll out in the South?"

"Nowadays, the officials who are rooted in the south, everyone should have an idea of ​​what quality they are. To put it bluntly, the decrees promulgated by the imperial court, and the quality of the officials who repeated the orders, they all fell on deaf ears!"

"If these people are all dismissed, there must be some injustice, but if they are dismissed one by one, there will definitely be people who slip through the net!"

As he said that, Zhang Haogu glanced at Huang Liji and Wei Guangwei: "Nowadays, it is not the south that restricts the court's new policies, but the students."

"The court doesn't have enough manpower."

After saying this, Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly, while Huang Liji and Wei Guangwei breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, it has only been a few years since the Ming Dynasty initially experimented with the New Deal in the second year of the Apocalypse, and gradually implemented the New Deal?
How many officials have you trained?

It's not that there are no people, but there are too few talents who can serve as a county magistrate or a prefect.

Most of them are farm owners of a farm, or in the county government, and the government government acts as an assistant, which really makes them afford the livelihood of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people in a county or a government. They can afford this burden?

The imperial court, why don't you really let them do it?

Divide the fields equally, collect food in one place, promote industry, and develop people's livelihood. It's easy to say, and everyone can say it clearly and logically. In practice, it's not as simple as talking about it.

What restricts the imperial court today is that there are too few suitable talents.

Zhu Youxiao pondered: "Datong Academy is indeed less."

"Zhang Aiqing, please remember that from now on, the Ministry of Rites will promote Datong Academy nationwide. It is imperative that all provinces, prefectures, and counties have Datong Academy to train enough talents for Daming, regardless of whether it is north or south."

Zhang Ruitu said: "I have made a note."

Zhang Haogu said again: "Your Majesty, the imperial examination has been suspended, but the national examination cannot be suspended. The civil servant examination can now be carried out throughout the country, replacing the scientific examination."

When Zhang Haogu said this, Huang Liji and Wei Guangwei immediately changed their faces, and thoroughly implemented the official examination. In the future, even a small official or a student can take up a high position to replace the Donglin official. This, this is to smash the Donglin Party root!
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "This matter, the cabinet will discuss it, and then give it a try. Isn't Hubei just waiting to be done, and the official examination is being tested in Hubei. If it is possible, it will be implemented in conjunction with Datong Academy. The whole country, completely set the national examination."

After saying this, Zhu Youxiao looked at the ministers of the Ming Dynasty in the cabinet: "It's not just because of this that I recruited all my lovers today."

"Look at this, the book that the Academy of Engineering handed me, according to the research of the bachelors of the Academy of Engineering, and the conclusions from interviews with old farmers in various places, God may be erratic these years, and floods and droughts will become more and more frequent. "

As he said, Zhu Youxiao rubbed the center of his brows: "In the past few years, there have been droughts and floods everywhere, and I have also noticed that the days are a bit abnormal these few years, but no matter what the weather is, the people always have to eat and harvest. "

"My dear friends, we must find a way to do this."

Zhang Haogu's expression was concentrated. He naturally understood why there were frequent floods and droughts in the past few years. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is the scene at the end of the dynasty. It was not a few years, but the long Little Ice Age that began in the 29th year of Jiajing and lasted until the 35th year of Qianlong, especially after the 48th year of Wanli.

Severe drought and flood in summer, blizzard in the south, extreme cold in winter
This will undoubtedly test all aspects of a dynasty, and will undoubtedly have a great impact on the people's livelihood of the court.

Daming, get ready early.
