Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 335 Wenhua Palace Xiaochaohui
Lao Zhu was afraid that his grandson would be slack, now that he was doing a serious job of winning people's hearts, he quietly went back to the palace, thinking about how to delete the textbooks again.

Zhu Yunxi's game continues here, Faith Back is just one of his game libraries, he still has a lot of similar small games in stock, let these people play for a year without repeating the same.

After the game, Zhang Zongjun was ridiculed by his colleagues from the Wenhua Palace and the students from the Imperial College.

Faced with everyone's ridicule, Zhang Zongjun didn't react at all, he just put on a look as if he had been frightened, and giggled at everyone.

In fact, with Zhang Zongjun's IQ, it is very easy to get along well with his colleagues and get along well in the crowd.

It's just that he unilaterally believes that these colleagues of his are not worthy of his brains, that's all.

After the game, Zhu Yunxi assigned them a homework, each of them wrote an article about the game experience, and then announced that school was over.

After the training class left, Zhu Yunxi didn't take a break, but went to Sanwei Bookstore to check the sales of the latest bestsellers and the preparation level of the newspaper.

Although he had asked Xie Kui to organize newspapers and other things long ago, for some unknown reason, the sales of newspapers have not been able to increase, and they are still in a state of loss.

For this reason, Zhu Yunxi called Qi Tai, Yang Xinlu, Gao Ming, Qin Hengbo, and Xie Kui together for a meeting to carefully analyze the reasons for the poor sales of newspapers.

Xie Kui is the direct person in charge of this matter, and he has been doing it for a long time. Seeing so many big men coming, he immediately stood up and made a self-reflection.

"The lack of ability of the late students is the main reason for the loss of the newspaper project. I am here to conduct a deep review and sincerely accept your criticism!"

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand at Xie Kui.

"Now is not the time to discuss who is right and who is wrong. Everyone should think about why newspapers are still unable to sell."

Seeing what Zhu Yunxi said, the three of Qin Hengbo chattered immediately.

Some people say that there is a lack of sage's words, some say that the imperial palace should be reported to the inside, and the content of the newspaper should be increased, and some say that the imperial court's laws and regulations should be included, etc.

Zhu Yunxi recorded everyone's opinions one by one, and let Xie Kui follow up to watch the rectification.

Only Qi Tai remained silent, sitting aside quietly flipping through the latest issues of newspapers, until Zhu Yunxi called his name, and then he began to speak.

"Mr. Qi, what do you think of this matter?"

"The grandson of the emperor, I think that if you want to increase the sales of the newspaper, you must first determine who the newspaper is sold to."

"I read your previous issues, and the content on them is very monotonous and mixed. There are stereotyped articles, ancient and modern tales, and serialized stories."

"Therefore, Weichen believes that we must first determine who the newspaper is selling to, and then we can target buyers with the content they are interested in."

"If it is sold to the Imperial College students, then it will be outdated to publish some old-fashioned strange stories, and some old stereotyped articles will not arouse their interest. Only the serialization of the storybook is interesting, but the content of this thing is very short. It’s only a few thousand words, and you can finish it with a cup of tea.”

"For the students of the Imperial College, more than a dozen people buy a copy and circulate it to each other in the morning to read all of them."

"If it is sold to ordinary people, stereotyped articles and the like are out of date. First, they can't understand it, and second, it's useless to read it. In addition, the content of the script is so-so, lacking something... ..."

When Qi Tai said this, he glanced at Yang Xinlu next to him, and cupped his hands towards Yang Xinlu.

"The ordinary people don't like Master Yang's ingenious brushstrokes and finishing touches."

Yang Xinlu was so shamed by Qi Tai's name-calling, his face flushed with shame, and he secretly scolded this disciple and grandson for his bad mouth.

But he was embarrassed to deny it. After all, what he wrote was indeed nine stars in color.

After Qi Tai finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Yunxi quietly, waiting for Zhu Yunxi to determine the main audience of the newspaper.

Zhu Yunxi thought for a while and said.

"Naturally, the more people like it, the better!"

"It's hard to say that newspapers are alone. In short, it should be suitable for most people and make most people like it."

"Only if there are enough people watching, Gu can use him to do other things."

Seeing what Zhu Yunxi said, Qi Tai also frowned and thought for a while before speaking slowly.

"If it is according to the wishes of the emperor and grandson, then the content of the newspaper will be more suitable for the common people, and it must be closely related to their lives."

"For example, print the almanac, solar terms, good and bad luck, etc., so that the common people know what day it is every day..."

"Secondly, different content must be specially formulated for different groups of people."

"For example, merchants like to watch the weather. The emperor's grandson can ask Qin Tianjian to copy a copy of weather forecast information every day, and then publish it in the newspaper."

"For another example, traffickers, civilians, sergeants and the like like to read romance novels, so they have to increase the number of corresponding novels."

"In this regard, we suggest using Mr. Luo's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and let Mr. Luo personally write reviews for each issue."

"In addition, the imperial palace newspaper, appointment and dismissal of officials, etc. can also be published."

"There are also strange cases of Yingtian Mansion, you can also choose to publish some of them. Then there are some romances between the prince's mansion, the prince's mansion, and officials, romantic affairs, parents' short stories and so on..."

The more Qi Tai talked, the more Zhu Yunxi listened, the more confused he became.

Zhu Yunxi felt that he and Qi Tai had exchanged identities. Shouldn't these things be thought of by himself, but Qi Tai took the lead!

However, Zhu Yunxi felt a deep sense of powerlessness when he thought of his mind with all the knowledge.

He knows a lot of things, but he doesn't know why.For some things, he only knows a concept, and when he implements specific things, he becomes blind.

After Qi Tai finished speaking, Zhu Yunxi finally made a decision.

"Adjust the distribution of work content."

"Mr. Qi, from now on, you put aside the affairs of the Ministry of Rites and fully take charge of the content formulation of the newspaper."

"Xie Kui, you are temporarily in charge of the operation of the bookstore. When the commercial department is established after a while, come to the commercial department to be a minister."

"what?"

Zhu Yunxi's words shocked everyone present.

This grandson of the emperor is good enough to directly create a new department and appoint a new minister.

But, he is so arrogant, can his grandfather spare him?

Qi Tai was even more confused.

Fortunately, this grandson can speak out, he is a dignified servant of the Ministry of Rites, and he is the person who is in charge of the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

He actually let himself put down the affairs of the Ministry of Rites and concentrate on helping him with the tabloid!

Does the emperor's grandson know which is lighter and which is heavier?
Qi Tai tactfully remonstrated.

"Emperor grandson, isn't your step a little too big?"

Zhu Yunxi said indifferently.

"Not big!"

"That's where it goes. In the near future, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Posts, the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs, the Ministry of Education and other departments will have to be established."

"Each department has a minister in charge of the overall situation!"

Yang Xinlu and the others couldn't sit still anymore. Although they also hoped to see the grandson of the emperor cheer up, this was too "pretentious", wouldn't it make the old emperor mad?
The old emperor only had six ministries in his hands, officials, households, soldiers, criminal workers, and the emperor's grandson also produced six ministries and six ministers. This is a challenge to the old emperor!

"Emperor grandson, why don't we take it easy?"

"If you come up with six ministries at once, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely not agree."

Zhu Yunxi was full of confidence.

"Lonely has been decided!"

"You don't need to persuade me!"

"Gu doesn't need extra salary from the court. Gu is completely self-sufficient. Who can control Gu?"

When several people heard Zhu Yunxi say this, they all secretly rolled their eyes.

The emperor's grandson thought too simply, thinking that he could appoint officials casually by giving them salaries?

However, in view of the old emperor's love for the emperor's grandson, it is estimated that this matter can be resolved with a meal.

Therefore, even if they disapproved in their hearts, they didn't try to persuade them too much.

After Zhu Yunxi had a meeting with several people, he went to the Imperial College to play with the Japanese Prince Fuji Yushou.

The so-called play is actually a kind of social entertainment.

Zhu Yunxi has always been thinking about the silver mines in Japan. He himself is afraid to go because of the stormy weather, but it is okay to send his men down for a walk.

After several months of training, the Xuanwu Navy has begun to achieve results, and it is time to try a long-distance voyage.

Zhu Yunxi came to play with Fuji Yushou, just to get some guides from him, and ask them to help point out the way and so on.

Fuji Youshou felt that the grandson of the Ming Dynasty could talk to him personally, and felt that his face was very oily. He immediately patted his chest and promised that he would never miss the affairs of the Heavenly Kingdom, and also said that he himself could be a guide.

Zhu Yunxi still wanted to hold him hostage, how could he let him slip away so easily?
The next day Zhu Yunxi received the officers and generals of the Xuanwu Navy and held a farewell banquet for them.

After the banquet, Zhu Yunxi had another interview with Fujian businessman Chen Hai, and ordered him to be his special envoy to Japan.

Zhu Yunxi solved the matter of the Xuanwu Navy's voyage to Japan, and took time to go around Ma'anshan to finalize the location of the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Plant.

Within a few days, I went to Songjiang again and participated in the ribbon-cutting work of the Shibo Department and so on.

This is Zhu Yunxie's daily work.

Busy and fulfilling.

Zhu Yunxi used to just want to make a little money, so he didn't feel very busy.

However, when he changed from an ordinary emperor's grandson to an emperor's grandson, many of his previous ideas had to be changed accordingly.

This is also the reason why he is unwilling to go to court, because he hasn't figured it out yet.

For a month, Zhu Yunxi traveled back and forth between various places, constantly adjusting the workshops under his name, and evaluating the production capacity and output value.

After he estimated how much net worth he had, the training class also ended smoothly, and he could start building his six parts.

Zhu Yunxi put the coal mines, iron mines, and mechanical processing workshops under his name under the management of the Ministry of Industry, and appointed his student Liu Haohong to preside over them.

In fact, Zhu Yunxi originally favored his proud disciple Ma Bo, but Ma Bo focused on research and didn't want to be an official, so he retreated to the next best thing and pushed Liu Haohong out.

After all, the biggest function of the Minister of Industry is to coordinate the cooperation between various workshops and realize the deployment of personnel, logistics, and production capacity.

Zhu Yunxi assigned light industries such as glass, soap, and matches under his name to the Ministry of Commerce and handed them over to Xie Kui for management.

The Ministry of Railways was handed over to Huang Zicheng by Zhu Yunxi, because this ministry had to travel between Datong and the capital frequently, which was really too hard, and he was worried about using others.

The Ministry of Education asked Gao Ming to serve concurrently, and the Ministry of Health arrested a court judge from the Tai Hospital and asked Ge Yunqian to concurrently serve temporarily.

Since the postal department was in its infancy, Zhu Yunxi directly promoted a newcomer, and found a horse cleaner from among the people in the Wenhua Palace.

Anyway, the post office mainly relies on horses, and he, a horse washing official, can be regarded as making the best use of everything.

The Ministry of Maritime Affairs is directly managed by Zhu Yunxi, and there is no official book for the time being.

As for the other students, let them submit applications to the six departments according to their own preferences.Then the chief officials of each department will choose whether to admit or not according to the actual situation.

After Zhu Yunxi set up the framework of the six parts, he immediately held the first small court meeting.

The six ministers, plus Zhu Yunxie's three masters, are his main court personnel.

Compared with Lao Zhu's Grand Court Meeting, not only is the staff streamlined here, but even the etiquette process is much simplified.

Moreover, everyone has a seat, and everyone gathers around a conference table for a meeting.

Old Zhu has been sending people to watch Zhu Yunxi's movements, seeing that Zhu Yunxi dared to prepare his own six parts, he was so angry that his nose was crooked.

But Lao Zhu has always kept in mind the previous lessons, and he dare not easily arrest this grandson to go to the court, for fear that the grandson will continue to make troubles and delay the serious affairs of the court.

Generally speaking, Lao Zhu has always been disapproving of Zhu Yunxi's movements, thinking that this is just a child's play.

However, even so, when Lao Zhu learned that his grandson was about to hold his first small court meeting, he still sent a few eunuchs to listen in.

As for himself, he even ended the court meeting early and sneaked over.

Standing in front of the conference table, Zhu Yunxi looked at the team he had built with his own hands, and a sense of pride welled up in his heart.

From today on, he is also a man of court!

"I'll just say a few words first, and if you have any questions, you can ask them later."

"The focus of the Ministry of Commerce in the future is to increase production, increase new products, build new workshops, and earn more money for our Taisun Mansion."

"In addition, the Shibo Department is also under the control of your Ministry of Commerce. You can also sell some of your products to overseas vassal states, so as to earn a lot of foreign exchange for Daming."

"The Ministry of Industry will only focus on one thing in the future. It will increase steel production as much as it can. In the next few decades, Daming's steel demand will be a bottomless pit, and it can fill in as much as it can!"

"The Post Office..."

Just as Zhu Yunxie mentioned the three words "Department of Postal Services", the former crown prince washed his horse, and Guo Cheng, the new Minister of the Ministry of Postal Service, immediately stood up, showing great respect.

Zhu Yunxi hurriedly waved his hands at him.

"sit down!"

"We don't have to be so cautious here."

"The focus of your future work is to build our own station system in the shortest possible time."

"Not limited to land and water, as well as sea transportation."

"In a word, how fast and cheap is the focus of your postal department's work."

"The so-called many means that we have more post stations than the imperial court. The so-called fast means that our logistics and transportation speed is better than that of the imperial court. Well, there is no need to explain, and provinces are two-way. To reduce the cost of mailing items for the common people, but also to save our own expenses.”

"In short, if you can make a profit within three years, you will be considered meritorious!"

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi had finished speaking, Guo Cheng stood up again and bowed and said "No", which greatly satisfied the vanity of a duplicity grandson of the emperor.

Relatively speaking, the affairs of the Ministry of Education are much simpler.

The government schools and county schools of the imperial court are not under his control. The Ministry of Education, which Gao Ming is in charge of, is actually in charge of a few elementary schools and a few universities that only have a brand name.

After Zhu Yunxi finished explaining the matter above, he immediately walked out of his seat and came to Ge Yunqian's side.

"Ge Yuanju, your work here is the most important thing."

Ge Yunqian nodded solemnly upon hearing this.

Although it was their first small court meeting today, he, the default "Shangshu of the Ministry of Health", had already talked with the emperor's grandson many times about the future affairs of the Ministry of Health.

Therefore, he is well aware of the great responsibility on his body, and at the same time feels unprecedented pressure.

After all, when he was an imperial physician, he only needed to cure one person and one disease.

Now he is the minister of the Ministry of Health, but he is in charge of the medical treatment of the entire Ming Dynasty, and the difficulty can be imagined.

"We've talked many times before, so I won't say much if I'm here today."

"In short, remember one sentence, as long as you propose the appropriation from your Ministry of Health, Gu will approve it as soon as possible without any delay."

Ge Yunqian really wanted to say something, but hearing that Zhu Yunxi trusted him so much, he murmured for a while and then bowed to Zhu Yunxi.

"My minister thanked the emperor's grandson Xinzhong!"

Zhu Yunxi returned to his position and stood up, continuing to speak to everyone.

"That's all I have to say. Do you have any questions?"

"no!"

"Follow the imperial edict!"

Amidst the orders and promises, only Xie Kui, the new Minister of Commerce, stood up from his chair.

"Emperor grandson, according to the current arrangement, we don't have enough money on hand."

"The initial investment on the railway is 3 million taels, and the construction of the medical university requires at least 300,000 taels to start construction. The construction of the Anshan Iron and Steel Plant also requires an investment of at least 1 million taels."

"However, we only have 280 million taels of silver in our treasury..."

As soon as Xie Kui's words fell, everyone present looked at Zhu Yunxi.

Although what Zhu Yunxi said just now was hype, it seemed to have given everyone a pot of chicken blood.But if there is no money, all of this, everything is a mirror image.

"Don't worry about the money, you just have to do things with your heart!"

Seeing what Zhu Yunxi said, everyone stopped asking questions, and just prayed secretly in their hearts, praying that the grandson of the emperor could create miracles again.

After Zhu Yunxi finished the small court meeting, he sent everyone to various places to get busy.

Although he has provided offices for everyone, but at the moment when the small court is just starting up, many things require them to run around, and no one has time for an office.

After Zhu Yunxi sent away several ministers, he left the three masters behind, took them into the west side hall of Wenhua Hall, pointed to some tables and said.

"Three masters, this will be the office space for the three of you from now on."

"From now on, the three of you can freely consult all the documents and reports in our small court."

When the three of them heard that Zhu Yunxi trusted them so much, the three of them were so excited that they almost knelt down on the spot and shouted long live.

However, this was just the beginning, and Zhu Yunxie's next words shocked them even more.

"It's not for nothing to let you read the memorial alone. After reading it, you have to draft a disposal proposal and stuff it into the memorial."

"I have only read the memorial and your opinions on how to deal with it. If you think your opinions are good, I will directly follow your opinions!"

When the three of them heard this, their eyes widened, and expressions of disbelief filled their faces.

When the old emperor abolished the prime minister system, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked.

Although Hu Weiyong has acted to deceive the superior and the inferior, it is unreasonable to completely deny the prime minister system!

Because the prime minister is not only a position, but also a complete set of complex institutional system, which involves many departments.

For example, Zhongshu Province, Monxia Province, General Administration Department, etc.

There are functions such as drafting edicts, uploading and issuing, and reviewing imperial edicts.

In order to compete with the prime minister for power, the old emperor abolished all these brains, which actually had a great influence on the government.

Because no matter how strong the emperor's personal ability is, it is impossible to take care of all aspects, and there is always a time when he decides something with his head.

At this time, there is no audit department, and some muddled decisions of the emperor directly become imperial decrees.

Therefore, these departments are indispensable and important functional departments for a dynasty.

Even in the Ming Dynasty in another time and space, after Lao Zhu abolished the system of prime ministers, such freaks as cabinets and supervisors of rituals were born.

In fact, the functions they perform are the same as those of the prime minister system back then, only with a different name.

Yang Xinlu and others are people who are well aware of the pros and cons of the imperial court. They know that the Ming Dynasty can live without a prime minister, but it cannot live without a corresponding system.

Apart from the shock on the faces of the three old gentlemen, the rest was full of emotion and gratitude.

I was moved by Zhu Yunxi's trust, and thanked the heavens for finally letting Daming get on the right track.

"My humble minister...the minister waits to thank the emperor's grandson Xinzhong for his kindness, woo woo woo..."

"The ministers and others are smashed to pieces, but also to repay the trust of the emperor's grandson!"

There is one thing to say, the reason why Zhu Yunxi delegated power to the three old men was just to be lazy.Just going to the three old men has become a great trust.

As soon as he finished his work here, Lao Zhu came in hastily, seeing that the room was empty, only three little old men were left, and Lao Zhu showed a look of shock on his face.

"What about people?"

"who?"

"We heard that your rebellious grandson is holding a small court meeting, don't we want to come and listen?"

After Lao Zhu said this, he looked at the new layout of the Wenhua Palace to himself, and then curled his lips in disdain.

"What is this and what, how can such a big table be placed as soon as you enter the room!"

"Also, the side hall is used for rest and meals. Why do you divide it into several rooms and set up a few tables? It looks like a number room in the Gongyuan!"

After Lao Zhu commented on the layout of the Wenhua Palace, he asked questions gloatingly.

"Dasun, when will your pilgrimage meeting start? Could it be that it hasn't started yet?"

"Grandpa Huang, I've let you down, grandson's side has already finished."

"What?"
