Chapter 412
Afterwards, the court ladies and eunuchs brought up the dishes, which were even more delicious. Among them were many dishes that Zhu Linming recognized, but none of them cost less than three taels.

Even the wooden tables on which the dishes are placed are made of high-quality golden nanmu, and the patterns are mostly decorated with gold, which is obviously expensive.

Sure enough, rich!Zhu Linmei nodded secretly in her heart. Today's banquet alone is enough to build a Galen warship of more than [-] tons.

Thinking of this, his sense of urgency for recovering the more affluent Nanzhili immediately increased a bit.With the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, that is, the area from Nanzhili to Zhejiang, it can be regarded as the money bag and granary of Daming.

Even the key products exported to overseas - silk, tea, porcelain and the like - are also high-yielding areas here.Both Ningbo and Shanghai are extremely important foreign trade ports.

He thought in his mind that after the taxation in Zhejiang was straightened out, he could start construction on a few more warships of more than [-] tons. Dancing to the music.

At the beginning, Zhu Linmei just ate with her head buried in the music, occasionally exchanging pleasantries with Zhu Yihai, but it took a while before she noticed that the atmosphere in the hall was a bit strange.

The officers of the Dragon Guard Army were fine, eating, drinking, and laughing to their heart's content, but the Zhejiang officials seemed to be preoccupied, whispering to each other from time to time, or leaning close to the officers of the Dragon Guard Army to ask something in a low voice.

He frowned, and was about to ask King Lu if there was anything wrong, when he saw Guo Gaozhi, the "Minister of the Ministry of Officials" in Zhejiang, and the people around him look at each other. In front of you.

"Your Highness is an immortal hero, the pillar of Ming Dynasty's rejuvenation, the world admires..."

Guo Gaozhi praised Zhu Linming a lot, and then he added, "I have the courage to offer a cup to Your Highness on behalf of all the courtiers." The post of Minister of the Ministry of Officials of Zhejiang was vacant, but he was barely qualified to represent it.

Zhu Linming picked up the sapphire cup and was about to drink it, but Guo Gaozhi only held up the wine cup and praised Long Wu again.

Zhu Linmei sniffed the fine wine in her hand, and was wondering what he meant when another Zhejiang official stood up holding a cup, "Master Guo is absolutely right, the former emperor was a world-class hero in terms of literature, governance and martial arts, and he also showed great kindness to Zhejiang."

"That's right, in the early years of Longwu, the first emperor issued an edict to make His Royal Highness the King of Lu return to the vassal. At that time, there were traitors who obstructed it, and it has been delayed until today."

Another official cupped his hands in the direction of Tianxing Mansion, and continued: "The kindness of the late emperor is so great, it not only greatly weighed the pain of His Royal Highness King Lu being restrained by the rebellious officials, but also ordered His Highness to stay in Zhejiang, and also made it known to the world that there is no distinction between Fujian and Zhejiang." Each other, the courtiers can continue to hold the same official position in the court..."

His words immediately received a voice of approval.

Only then did Zhu Linming understand what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd. It turned out that she wanted to fight for a high position and be able to re-enter the center of power in the Taizheng Dynasty.Judging by the tacit cooperation and unanimity of these people, it should be discussed long ago.

Also, it is related to their own official career, it is necessary to reach a united front as soon as possible.

Zhu Linmi shook her head in her heart.

Not to mention the large number of Zhe Fan officials, it is also a complete court structure, and it is impossible to fit them all into the political system of the Tai Zheng Dynasty. Even if they are forced to resume their original duties in Tianxing Mansion, the problem is also There will be a lot.

The first is party struggle, and there will inevitably be a situation where the Zhejiang Party and the former Taizheng Dynasty officials compete with each other for their own interests.In history, the Ming Dynasty died because of party struggles, and I must not sit back and watch the soil of party formation emerge.

Secondly, these Zhejiang officials are completely ignorant of the new policy of the Taizheng Dynasty, whether it is the reform of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, the new taxation and price policies of the Ministry of Households, the establishment of the Propaganda Department, or the transformation of the old Ming army into the police, and the adjustment of the official system, etc., they Which one can be picked up?

Forcibly occupying the position is not overstaffed in the end, making the government decree obsolete.

This kind of matter is related to the stability of the court and the future development of Ming Dynasty, and we must not get used to the bad habits of these people.Zhu Linmei drank all the wine in the glass first, then smiled and signaled the officials to be quiet, and pretended not to understand what they meant, and said with a pleasant face: "The late emperor was wise. Returning to the orthodox, naturally regardless of each other, you are still courtiers of the Taizheng Dynasty."

When the people below heard what the assistant king said, they all thought he had compromised.There is no complacency in our hearts, we have connected almost all the important ministers in Zhejiang Province, no matter how capable his assistant king is, he would not dare to disobey the wishes of so many people.

Only Zhu Linming continued: "Originally, I planned to ask the Ministry of Officials to write a document for the Zhejiang Propaganda Department to make specific arrangements. Now that everyone has talked about it, I will reveal some things in advance."

He first looked at Qian Sule, "Master Qian, this time you have done a good job in persuading and admonishing you, and you will be promoted to the post of Zhejiang Chief Political Envoy."

Zhejiang officials were taken aback when they heard the words—the chief envoy? !Qian Sule was originally a "cabinet scholar". Although he was a fifth-rank official, he was in charge of real power.Now "promoted" to be a second-rank chief envoy, it seems that he has been promoted several levels in a row, but he has changed from a central official to a local official.

Qian Sule hadn't had time to react, so she heard Zhu Linming say, "Zhang Mingzhen, the former admiral of the navy, was promoted to the commander of the Zhejiang capital."

"Master Xiong Rulin was promoted to the Zhejiang Inspectorate." It was also promoted from the fifth-rank "Cabinet University Scholars" to the third-rank.

"Zhang Huangyan, the former censor of the capital, was promoted to command the affairs of the capital...

"Zheng Zunqian, the former governor of the left, was promoted to be the governor of Zhejiang..."

"The original Zuodu censor Zhang Congyi was promoted...

"..."

He only remembered that some relatively well-known officials assigned most of the main positions in Zhejiang to them, and the others could only say, "The rest will be arranged by the Ministry of Officials."

Among them, except for Zhang Huangyan who was promoted two levels in a serious manner, the rest have become local officials in Zhejiang, but most of them have improved in rank.

After a moment of silence, the crowd finally erupted. First, an official in his 60s came out and said loudly: "Your Highness, this is not the intention of the late emperor. I am afraid that the people in Zhejiang will not accept it!"

Someone next to him immediately answered: "Yes, the late emperor said, 'You can hold the same official position in the imperial court', but now no one in Zhejiang can enter the imperial court."

"His Royal Highness King Lu sincerely returned to the feudal domain. I never thought that the imperial court would treat us like this..."

"The bones of the late emperor are still cold..."

Seeing this, Zhu Linmei smiled coldly, glanced around at the ministers, and said in a deep voice: "When the late emperor issued the edict, did you ever feel so righteous and awe-inspiring?

"That's right, the first emperor said that 'you can hold the same official position', but it was in the first year of Longwu. If you had spoken uprightly at that time and ordered the Zhe Fan to receive an imperial edict to unite the forces of Fujian and Zhejiang, Boluo would be broken." You can't easily cross Qiantang, occupy Zhejiang, and violate Fujing!

"Perhaps, the first emperor would not be harmed by captives!"

He took a deep breath and raised his voice, "The opportunity was in front of you, what did you do then?!

"Since the edict was not issued at that time, what's the use of mentioning the edict of the late emperor now?"
