Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 458: Personnel Candidates

Zhu Qiyu came to Kunning Palace. Wang Zhi saw it. He quickly stood up, saluted Zhu Qiyu and called his majesty!
After Zhu Qiyu heard this, he smiled and waved his hand and said: "Brother-in-law, there are no outsiders here, there is no need to be so outsider! However, you kid surprised me. Shou Ming spoke very highly of you, saying that you can endure hardships and can fight with the soldiers." They get along well and are very popular among the soldiers. Sure, they have not lost the reputation of their father-in-law!"

"I don't dare, hey, I have my second brother-in-law there, and no one dares to bully me, so what I did there was very smooth, except when I got on the battleship, it almost killed me, that bump Ah, I even vomited out the gall! It’s really not something ordinary people can do to be an ocean-going navy master!” Wang Zhi stood there and said to Zhu Qiyu with a smile!
"Well, Shou Ming also told me about this matter. When the time comes, we will select people from the whole army. Today, I also want you to tell me, do you have any opinions on the ocean navy?" Zhu Qiyu sat down and said at the same time He pressed his hand to Wang Zhi, motioned Wang Zhi to sit down and said!

"Awesome, the battleships are very powerful. If our other naval forces of the Ming Dynasty fight with the naval forces, one of our warships can destroy all our naval forces. Your Majesty, you don't know how powerful those warships are!
First of all, these warships are made of steel. Ordinary collisions will not threaten the safety of the warships at all. Moreover, the warships are huge! In the past, Ming Dynasty's warships were able to carry three hundred or five hundred stones, but our new warships can carry tens of thousands of stones, and they don't need people to row them, let alone drag them with trackers. Rather, it is driven by the running of the engine!

To this day, I admire the second brother-in-law very much. How many things do you think the second brother-in-law has in his mind, so that he can even build such a machine? The huge battleship can be driven by those engines, and it is extremely fast!

Those warships that rely on sails and manpower are completely incomparable with our new warships in terms of speed!
The other is the weapons on the battleships. They are mainly equipped with two types of firearms. One is the artillery. The artillery uses explosive ammunition, which is amazingly powerful. The other is the rifle. There are not many rifles now and they are still in the trial production stage. Moreover, I heard that some problems with the bullets have not been solved, and sometimes they will explode. Once our rifles are equipped, it will be impossible for the enemy to board the ship and fight! "Wang Zhi sat down and said very excitedly!

He is the deputy captain of a battleship. He already knows a lot about battleships and is also familiar with their power!
Therefore, when Zhu Qiyu asked about the battleship, Wang Zhi was able to explain it in great detail!
"Oh, are the artillery and muskets new?" Zhu Qiyu asked curiously. Although Lin Cunde had written a report to the memorial before, Zhu Qiyu had never seen it in person, so he was interested in all of it!

"Well, they are all new. Your Majesty, if these warships sail to the Japanese country now, they can also fight against it. However, we don't have many navy and not many warships. We can't completely kill the Japanese country. We need more warships." Yes, we also need a lot of transport ships. Otherwise, the infantry will not be able to keep up and it will be difficult to fight. After all, we can only fight at sea!
We can also land, but now we are the navy after all, so the war on land should be left to the infantry to resolve!
Your Majesty, you will know when you go to Luanzhou. When you arrive in Luanzhou, you will have the illusion that you have come to the wrong place. This is not the city of the Ming Dynasty. Why are there so many industries and so many people? And there are so many machines!
Now there are many workshops in Luanzhou, many of which require steel and a large number of craftsmen. Anyway, it is different from the capital. Although there are many people in the capital, there is no vitality!

The people in Luanzhou are very energetic. After finishing their work, they will drink wine, eat meat, and chat at street stalls. It is very comfortable!
However, after arriving in Beijing, I wanted to invite some friends to drink and eat meat on the street, but found that there was no suitable place. Beijing has a curfew at night, and many restaurants are very well decorated, so you can't just sit and drink and chat! "Wang Zhi sat there and said to Zhu Qiyu with a smile!

Wang Zhi still likes Luanzhou, likes chatting with the soldiers, and likes the free life there, and he is not short of money!

"Well, I want to go and see it when I have the chance, but I can't do it now!" Zhu Qiyu was envious when he heard what Wang Zhi said, and he was even more looking forward to heading to Luanzhou!

Zhu Qiyu also saw such a scene on the faces of the ministers who came back from Luanzhou!

Since he ascended the throne, he has never officially left the capital. At most, he has only been to the Fifth Military Camp!
Now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, I need to go on a patrol!
Look at how the people under your rule are living!

They like Luanzhou very much, from the bottom of their hearts!

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu was even more itchy!
In the evening, Zhu Qiyu accompanied Wang Zhi to dinner!

Then Wang Zhi and Zhu Qiyu continued to chat about things in Luanzhou. Zhu Qiyu was mostly asking questions, and then listened to Wang Zhi quietly!
Wang Zhi was very talkative, and both Zhu Qiyu and Wang Meilin discovered that Wang Zhi really liked Luanzhou!

In Lin Cunde's house, Lin Cunde also accompanied Wang Ying and the others to eat together!
After eating, Lin Cunde sent them back!

Many ministers originally came to visit today, but the concierge said that Lin Cunde was meeting with some marquises and had given orders, so no one would be seen today, so those civil servants had no choice but to go back!

Yu Qian and Wang Zhi both came, as well as several ministers from the Six Ministries. Those ministers were all promoted from the local level this year. Some were ministers of the Six Ministries, and some served as the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Yes, they were promoted by Lin Cunde before! 'So when they learned that Lin Cunde was back, they also wanted to come and visit and express their gratitude!
In fact, after Lin Cunde promoted them, he never contacted them again, but they were still grateful to Lin Cunde for his promotion!

In the evening, Lin Cunde sat at home and read, not going anywhere. He had been busy for a year and didn't want to move anymore. He just wanted to read the books in the study at home!

Wang Meichun is sitting next to her at the moment, making children's clothes. Wang Meichun knows these female celebrities!

And Wang Meichun likes to stay with Lin Cunde. If there are no guests, Wang Meichun likes to sit next to Lin Cunde, busy with his own things, and watching Lin Cunde busy!

Early the next morning, after Lin Cunde exercised, he wanted to read at home. However, Lin Cunde also knew that it was impossible to read today. It was estimated that many ministers would still come to visit!

Sure enough, the first ones to come over were Yu Qian and Wang Zhi, and now they are getting closer!
Lin Cunde hurriedly went out to greet him, but the two of them went in first and met in the corridor!

Lin Cunde smiled and cupped his hands at them, and then led them to the study. Lin Cunde poured them tea, and the servants also brought snacks!

"I wanted to come over yesterday. When I learned that your father-in-law and several princes were here, we estimated that you wouldn't have that time. Therefore, we came over early in the morning. You can't run away this time!" Yu Qian smiled. He pointed at Lin Cunde and said.

"Well, I have a lot of questions that I plan to ask you. I originally wanted to become an official, but His Majesty did not allow it. I hope that I will continue to contribute to the court. I have thought about it for a long time. Since Your Majesty thinks that I am still useful, I can't do anything. I don’t even understand!” Wang Zhi said with a smile and stroking his beard!

After hearing this, Lin Cunde nodded with a smile and said: "That's right, how many people are thinking about your position as Dazai now. If people who are dedicated to serving the public are thinking about it, then it's okay. You can select officials for your own sake. In your position, the Ming Dynasty will probably be in trouble again, so His Majesty has not allowed you to return to your hometown, and he has not chosen your successor yet!"

"Well, it is true. Your Majesty has also discussed this matter. There is indeed no suitable person. There are indeed a few good people as the local chief envoys, but after they were transferred, there is no suitable person to replace them. position, so your majesty has been hesitant! He can't be moved locally, for fear that the good situation will change!" Yu Qian nodded and said to Lin Cunde!

Zhu Qiyu is also very careful about employing people now. After the New Deal, many officials were transferred. Those officials are still being inspected, but the top priority is that Wang Zhi is old. The Ministry of Personnel is related to the employment of people in the court. How can Zhu Qiyu not be cautious?

Nowadays, the Ministry of Personnel has more and more power. The power of assessment and promotion lies with the Ministry of Personnel. Moreover, as a minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he is naturally His Majesty’s confidant!

Therefore, many ministers want to get close to Zhu Qiyu and hope to gain Zhu Qiyu's trust. But is it really difficult to gain Zhu Qiyu's trust?
"There are several candidates. His Majesty has mentioned it to me. One of them is Yu Qian. If Yu Qian serves as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, a vacancy will be left in the Ministry of War. Who will serve as the Minister of the Ministry of War? It is another question. After all, those who know the soldiers and generals There are not many ministers, and whether the new Minister of War can cooperate well with the Fifth Army Governor's Office is also a question!
The other person is He Wenyuan, who is now the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He is not much younger than me. It is not a wise move for Your Majesty to promote him at this moment. There is also another person, the current political envoy of Zhejiang Province and the former right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Zhao Cheng.

After all, I recommended Zhao Cheng, and Your Majesty is also willing to do so. However, Zhao Chen's position in Zhejiang is also very important. Zhejiang is a province with heavy taxation in the Ming Dynasty and the first place to implement the New Deal. Therefore, Zhao Cheng was promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Your Majesty is worried that the situation in Zhejiang will change, so he has always asked me to hold on!

Originally, I wanted to let Zhao Cheng return to Beijing and serve as the Minister of Civil Affairs. I could assist him for one more year. But His Majesty has been slow to make a decision, so there is no other way. Hey! "Wang Zhi sat there and sighed!
