Daming heir

The popularity of Yingtian City has always remained at a stable level because of the triumphant return of the Northern Expedition Army.

During the DPRK, the DPRK meetings were also held on time.

The Chief of the Cabinet, the Metropolitan Governor's Office, together with the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War, extracted the review results of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and other departments, and followed past rules to reward the meritorious officers of the Northern Expedition.

Only in this reward, except for those who deserved promotion and fortune, for the first time, the imperial court divided the land rewarded by most of the land-granting officers to Jiaozhi Road, Zhancheng Road, and to the west of the two roads, there were already Ming people and two people. The place where the people migrated and settled.

According to the latest system formulated by the cabinet.

These rewarded fields did not require the families of the rewarded soldiers to go there. Instead, they were entrusted to local officials such as Jiaozhi Road and Zhancheng Road, and existed under the supervision of the southern expedition army.

After deducting the tax payable every year, the rations paid to the farming tenants only need to wait for the year-end accounting directly from the court, and the local government will transfer it to the military household registration and distribute it together with the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"The army is now very vocal about the southern expedition. I hope they can march westward faster. I am not sure now whether this is a good thing or a bad thing."

After the great court meeting, the courtiers all need to get everything done around this court meeting.

Watching the officials filing out of the palace, they walked towards the outside of the palace.

Ren Hengtai, the chief minister of the cabinet, clasped his hands together and looked worried.

Xie Jin remained silent, because Zou Xueyu was about to take office as the governor-general of Zhili. He was now the highest-ranking official in the Xinxue faction and he needed to keep a low profile recently.

Xu Yungong didn't speak either.

After all, the matter involved the military, and the cabinet minister expressed concerns, and it was hard for him, a cabinet member, to say anything.

After all, the military has really gained a lot of benefits today.

Gao Yangzhi, who had returned to Beijing, looked up at the sky and thought that if he had some free time recently, he could go for an autumn outing by the river to enjoy the scenery.

Mu Ying saw that everyone was silent, so he made up his mind not to speak.

Although he is one of the cabinet ministers, he also has the status of a foreign relative, so it is better for him to speak less when it comes to fundamental issues that do not involve him and the military.

Zhai Shan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, who had just entered the cabinet, saw that everyone was silent, so he could only look at the chief minister and said softly: "It is understandable that the soldiers are eager for merit. There is a lot of territory conquered in the south, and all of them can be A good place for farming. The jungle there is said to be filled with miasma, but the Southern Expedition Army has now found a way to deal with it.

There is too much land and too few people.It is enough to reward the meritorious officers and soldiers in the army.It's just that the local government is responsible for managing this issue, but it still needs to be carefully considered, and the court must be able to supervise it properly.

If there is a disaster in the southern part of the country in the next year, wouldn't these grains be given to the soldiers?If something goes wrong at that time, the morale of the army will be unstable and the camp will mutiny. "

"The Southern Expedition Army will now take over the power of supervision. I believe that the government offices in the south will not dare to do anything under the nose of the army."

At this time, Xu Yungong finally spoke.

With Zhai Shan paving the way, he could express his opinions on supervision matters.

Ren Hengtai looked left and right. Anyway, these things were military matters, so he focused on Jie Jin beside him.

"Your Majesty."

Jie Jin didn't know what he was thinking about. Hearing Ren Hengtai's call, he was slightly startled and raised his head to look at the other party in confusion.

Ren Hengtai smiled: "Now that His Highness has returned to Beijing, the Governor's Office of Zhili has been built. I am thinking about the various workshop foundations that Yingtian Mansion has laid before. Should we spread it to the entire Zhili as soon as possible?"

As Ren Hengtai spoke like this, the cabinet ministers who were walking at the back of the hundreds of officials in the dynasty all looked sideways at the chief minister who didn't seem to have much authority or majesty.

Is Ren Hengtai trying to seize power?

He wants to take this opportunity to gain the power to govern Zhili Province in the future?
For a time, several people speculated in their hearts.

Xie Jin's face did not change, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his mind. He just listened to him say slowly: "Zhili is headed by the capital, involving Zhongdu and Lianghuai Yousi. That day, His Majesty was outside the city, and Zou Xueyu decided to take the Zhili exam. Regarding Tao matters, in my humble opinion, His Majesty and His Highness are probably going to use Zhili as a place to test the waters. I am afraid they have already made some conclusions about what to do next."

The Zhili Road was decided by the emperor, and Zou Xueyu was also directly selected by the emperor as the candidate for the governor-general of Zhili.

The cabinet had no prior knowledge of this matter.

In this case, the cabinet will probably not be able to get involved in what the Zhili Governor's Yamen will do next.

Xie Jin's meaning is obvious.

He himself would not interfere in the affairs of the Zhili Governor's Yamen, so what would Ren Hengtai, the chief minister and assistant minister, choose.

Should Ren Hengtai be asked to negotiate with the emperor to see how the next issue on Zhili Road should be handled?
Ren Hengtai just smiled.

He said casually: "I think your majesty wants to ask your highness to take care of this matter. Your highness is now more and more stable, and he is becoming more and more proficient in state affairs. After thinking about it, I think the next step for the cabinet should be to do things smoothly, and I have to do it." There is a Si Yamen leading the court, so we must not delay the trial of the new policy in Zhili Road."

Ren Hengtai pointed out the New Deal.

Xie Jin smiled slightly.

Hongwu's New Deal was a matter within the emperor's control, and no one could get involved.

In the past few years, the King of Qin has been killing people everywhere, suppressing the local people who were dissatisfied with the new policy and unable to hold their heads up.

There is also a tax office that is like fire on the grassland, rising from Tianfu and sweeping across the entire Central Plains region.With the cooperation of the tax bureau, local governments that deliberately oppose the imperial government's new policies will most of the time be discovered and their tactics analyzed.

With the tax bureau and tax soldiers pressing down on him, the King of Qin could be said to be unfavorable and invincible.

Ren Hengtai still had a smile on his face: "The great gentry has to remind the Ministry of Household Affairs that the dozens of government-run schools in the world must be provided with sufficient funds and food as soon as possible. The country must build troops and show its power, but it must not delay the academic work of its own children."

Because Xia Yuanji was promoted to the position of Minister of Hubu, Hubu was placed under the command of Xie Jin.

And Ren Hengtai, who joined the cabinet from the Minister of Rites, is now closer to Zhai Shan, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

No one in the Ministry of Industry wants to get involved. Whether he does it well or not is the business of His Highness the Grand Sun. The cabinet only needs to ensure that the Ministry of Industry's local decision-making does not go wrong.

The Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple were once again handed over to Gao Yangzhi early in the morning.

The authority of the Ministry of War has been greatly reduced. With Xu Yungong, the cabinet minister and the Governor of the Governor's Office, and the two popular princes Li Jinglong and Chang Sheng, the Ministry of War can only follow the footsteps of the Governor's Office. Work on errands.

The first two things Ren Hengtai mentioned seemed to be just a question.

In the end, it fell to the local government-run schools.

Xie Jin nodded and said: "The Ministry of Revenue has told the official a few times before that we will live this year for the time being. After all, the Northern Expedition has just ended, and it is impossible for the court to allocate a large amount of money and food for a while. But after this year is over, spring will start next year. Then the budget of government-run schools will be increased."

"The public examinations in the capital after the spring start must be supervised as soon as possible. There are many shortages of officials in the imperial court and local governments. No matter what knowledge you have, it should be used as long as it benefits the country and the people." Ren Hengtai suddenly changed to another topic.

Xie Jin and others nodded silently.

Whether it is the local government-run schools, the public examinations, or filling the vacancies in the imperial court, these are all the errands of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel.

Ren Hengtai pondered for a moment and looked at Wenyuan Pavilion, which was already close in front of him.

He hesitated for a moment, but still said: "But there is something I have been thinking about for a long time, and I would like to discuss it with you."

"Appreciate further details."

Xie Jin and others nodded slightly, waiting for Ren Hengtai, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty cabinet, to speak. "When selecting officials in the imperial court, the first priority is to choose them. However, as an official, talent is the basis. How to make the superiors and subordinates run smoothly, and how to govern and be harmonious is also a big question. I thought that we, the general commander of the court, select the best talents from all over the world for your majesty. When appointing a party, in addition to talent, it is also necessary to examine whether the person can be promoted to the party. What do you think?"

Ren Hengtai threw out a big proposition, and then swept his eyes deeply over everyone present.

This seems to be the first time that Ren Hengtai has taken such initiative since he took office as the chief minister of the cabinet.

Jie Jin and others were silent, but their expressions were deep in thought.

Gao Yangzhi, who had just returned to Beijing from Jiubian, looked around.

He said softly: "Whether the imperial court selects officials based on their talents or their virtues has to be carefully considered and weighed. If you are an official and can't even understand the Shangguan's words, how can you serve your Majesty? , to govern a people? But... if you let talented people go because you don't know how to be an official, it will be a waste for the country."

Gao Yangzhi tried his best to be fair, but his heart was already on alert.

Ren Hengtai, the chief minister, talked so much today, and finally the conversation turned to how the court should select officials. In fact, it was already vaguely turning to Zhang Ergong, the current minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Xu Yungong and Mu Ying looked at each other and chose to remain silent at the same time.

Xie Jin had to speak at this time.

His eyes were a little solemn, and he looked at Ren Hengtai calmly: "Why don't we discuss it with the cabinet, sort out a few clues first, sort them out, and then submit them to the Holy Father?"

With the approval of Xie Jin, the second assistant, Ren Hengtai smiled on his face.

"Selecting officials is a national matter. As the cabinet, we need to discuss it carefully."

……

"All things are less important than having a full stomach."

In the north of Yingtian City, a farm on the bank of the Yangtze River has now been hung on a farm under the name of Shanglinyuan Supervisor. Zhu Yunxi whispered softly in his mouth. He walked on the ridge of the field and brushed his palms from the waist-high rice.

Zhu Gaochi followed him and said with a smile: "This year is probably a rare good year. Yingtian Mansion has made preliminary estimates that the harvest of Yingtian Mansion this year will be more than ten kilograms more per acre than last year. "

Don't underestimate the yield of ten kilograms of grain from this acre of land, which is only a small amount.

But once this number is put into the entire Yingtian Mansion, it is a huge number.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the other person following him.

The current Minister of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty is Xia Yuanji.

Among the original three people, Xia Yuanji has always been the least conspicuous one. For a long time, he has only cultivated the one-third of an acre of land in the household department.

According to Zhu Yunxi's idea, Xia Yuanji should be allowed to shine in the household position for a long time.

As long as he can't do it to death, let Xia Yuanji do it to death.

"Weizhe, what did the Ministry of Finance say?"

Wei Zhe is Xia Yuanji's word.

When Xia Yuanji saw his grandson calling him, he immediately raised his hand and said, "The Ministry of Revenue estimates that Yingtian Mansion's average yield per mu this year will be about twelve kilograms more."

"It's a big increase in production." Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "Young Master has been working very hard in Shanglinyuan Prison, so I asked you to come out for a walk today."

He explained, and Xia Yuanji nodded.

A group of people entered Zhuangzi.

Unlike Zhuangzi elsewhere, a large circle of fields around Zhuangzi on the riverside here has long been filled in.

Farmhouses built one after another are scattered around the village.

Before anyone got close, they heard a burst of chickens, ducks and geese chirping.

Looking from a distance, there is also an area of ​​​​Laoda in the shallows of the river, which is surrounded by nets and fences.

Seeing curiosity on Zhu Yunxi's face.

Xia Yuanji bowed forward and said, "This is the poultry breeding place that Young Master first set up. At the beginning, there were only more than a thousand chickens, ducks and geese, but now there are tens of thousands of them. With the prescriptions prescribed by Tai Hospital, they have been kept There has never been any serious disease spreading since then.”

One after another, roosters, white geese, and shelducks were running around the farmhouses and fences in front of them.

A smile appeared on Zhu Yunxi's face.

I have never seen such a scene of poultry walking all over the ground for a long time.

Zhu Gaochi raised his hands to cover his nose.

There are actually too many poultry here, and the feces produced are really piled up like mountains, and the smell makes it difficult to breathe smoothly.

"How is the sales?" Zhu Yunxi asked.

Xia Yuanji then said: "Most of them are purchased from shops in Yingtian City. Now that people's lives are better, they can often eat a few meals of meat. However, the bulk is still given to the Beijing Army and the pro-army camps."

"Is the supply sufficient?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.

Xia Yuanji nodded and said: "This is the first breeding place we built in front of you. In addition, there are dozens more in Yingtian Mansion. Now, there are 30 to [-] poultry being raised."

Zhu Yunxi nodded. The supply of poultry meat of 30 to [-] is nothing.

But in today's era, it is far from comparable to the past.

Zhu Gaochi covered his nose and hummed: "It's good, but it smells too bad."

Xia Yuanji's face moved slightly and he was suppressing a smile.

Zhu Yunxi just glanced at Xiaopang, then lifted his feet to the poultry droppings that were being piled in the sun.

"Don't underestimate these things. It is with these things that today's food production can be guaranteed."

Agricultural circulation system.

This can be regarded as a major event that Shanglinyuan Supervisor is doing now.

Poultry prey on insects, wild vegetables, and rice bran in the fields. The grown poultry can provide meat, and the hair can be used to fill bedding and clothing. The feces produced every day will provide fertility for the fields.

Zhu Yunxi thought that the down produced by these poultry could be combined with cotton to provide warmer clothing for the northern army.

At the same time, he thought of Lao Er and Sun Cheng who had already set foot on their way to North America.

I don’t know how they are now?
