Prince of Chaos

Chapter 586

The bureaucratic issue that Ding Jinke and Qiao Zhengquan mentioned actually happened after Zhu Changxun's crowning ceremony.

Originally, Zhu Changluo never thought about what he would do against the officials.

It was because Zhu Changluo happened to be relatively free when the Ministry of Officials sent the memorial of the list of newly elected officials.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo decided to test the level of these new county magistrates.

Zhu Changluo ordered the Ministry of Officials to summon these officials in Beijing who had been elected as Xinzhi County to Ciqing Palace for questioning.

He wanted to take this opportunity to find out what insights these officials who were about to serve at the grassroots level in Daming had on local development and local management.

As a result, this understanding stunned Zhu Changluo.

What are these people?
When Zhu Changluo asked them how to make the people of a county live and work in peace and contentment, these people almost all answered that they should educate the people with the morality of the holy religion.

After hearing these answers, Zhu Changluo's face immediately turned cold.

Is it possible to govern hundreds of thousands of people in a county by talking about a few principles?
It's so ridiculous.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo became angry.

He summoned Sun Piyang to the Ciqing Palace, and indifferently asked Sun Piyang what the criteria for selecting officials were.

As a result, Sun Piyang also talked about the principles of saints and sages in front of him.

At this moment, Zhu Changluo was completely disappointed with Daming's bureaucratic system.

Zhu Changluo felt that it was time to set some basic KPI requirements for these officials.

Otherwise, when these people take office, they don't even know what they are going to do.

And Zhu Changluo still counted on them to govern the huge empire, that was simply a joke.

Faced with Zhu Changluo's anger, Sun Piyang also felt panic, and he never thought that he would overturn on this issue.

Moreover, it has been turned so thoroughly.

However, Zhu Changluo, who was in a rage, didn't deal with him immediately.

After all, this kind of eloquent officialdom has been around for a long time, and it's not something Zhu Changluo can change just by making an edict.

Now, no matter whether Zhu Changluo accepts it or admits it, the current big world still needs these incompetent bureaucrats to continue to operate.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo could only suppress his anger, calm his mind, and then make a long-term plan to reverse this trend in a way of stripping cocoons.

But right now, the most important thing is the military power of the Nine Sides.

Without the military power on the nine borders and the stability of the northern border, no matter how many ideas Zhu Changluo had, it would be impossible to realize them with peace of mind.

Therefore, now Zhu Changluo must clean up his mentality and promulgate the decree of patrolling Shanhaiguan.

"Go and get the cabinet and the ministers of the military aircraft department."

Zhu Changluo put down the folder in his hand, and instructed Sun Xian.

After Sun Xian heard Zhu Changluo's order, he immediately arranged for people to go to the cabinet and military aircraft department to call Wang Xijue and other cabinet members and Dong Qichang and other military aircraft department ministers.

"Your Majesty, please see me."

The eight ministers stood in two rows and saluted Zhu Changluo.

Zhu Changluo said: "Pingshen."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhu Changluo said: "I called Zhuqing here today because I have an important matter to tell you. Recently, the summer heat in Beijing is getting worse, and I am worried that my father's dragon body will not be able to bear it. So, I ordered to build a place in Beidaihe near Shanhaiguan. Walking away from the summer heat."

"Now, the Xingzai has been built. Gu decided to accompany him to Beidaihe Xingzai in three days to take care of his father, the Dragon Body. The cabinet, the military aircraft department, and the main yamen hall officials in Beijing, such as Shangshu, Shaoqing, and envoys, all accompanied him. Beidaihe."

"Beijing and China's government affairs are temporarily handed over to the cabinet Shen Li, Shen Yiguan, and the Minister of Military Affairs Liu Pinru and Li Chengliang as assistants. All decisions and important military and state affairs are dispatched eight hundred miles away, waiting for the order."

When they heard that Zhu Changluo was really going to Shanhaiguan, the four members of the cabinet and the four members of the Military Aircraft Department immediately knelt down and said, "Your servant will obey the order."

As for why these eight didn't object.

The reason is also very simple, that is, because of this patrol in Shanhaiguan, Zhu Changluo has already let people blow the wind at the cabinet and military aircraft.

Therefore, the eight of them were mentally prepared for this matter.

Now, after Zhu Changluo made the official announcement, these eight people naturally had no problem and directly received the order.

Looking at the eight people leading the decree, Zhu Changluo continued to say to Li Chengliang: "Li Qing, this time I have to bring [-] new troops from Ji County along with me, and you will send an official document from the Ministry of War to the soldiers and horses along the border, and ask them to cooperate with this time." Don't make a fuss about the mobilization of soldiers and horses."

Li Chengliang replied immediately: "I obey the order."

Then Zhu Changluo said to Shen Li, Shen Yiguan, Liu Pinru, and Li Chengliang: "This time I and my father are patrolling Shanhaiguan, and the general affairs in Beijing will be entrusted to you. The four of you have to discuss everything, and you can't decide anything." Immediately pass it on to Xingzai immediately, and the orphan will deal with it as soon as possible, and then send it back to the capital. If there is a major military incident, it must be delivered to Xingzai as soon as possible."

Shen Li, Shen Yiguan, Liu Pinru, and Li Chengliang immediately replied: "I obey the order."

For this tour, although Shen Li, Shen Yiguan, Liu Pinru and Li Chengliang were not able to accompany them.

However, these four are undoubtedly the most excited.

The crown prince and the emperor went on a tour of Beijing, but they did not set up a supervisor, but let the four of them manage the government together. This kind of trust and grace is absolutely beyond imagination.

The excitement in the hearts of the four people was beyond words, and they wished to show their loyalty to the Crown Prince with all their heart and soul at this very moment.

Seeing the excited expressions of the four of them, Zhu Changluo also smiled.

This time, it was Zhu Changluo's intention to keep these four people in Beijing.

These four are the last two of the cabinet and the military aircraft department.

Usually, whether they are in the cabinet or the military aircraft, they are suppressed by the chief assistant or chief.

This time, Zhu Changluo specifically took away the chief assistant of the cabinet, the chief assistant of the second assistant, and the chief of the military aircraft department, as well as Dong Qichang. The purpose was also to give these four people a chance to grow stronger, so that they could also have a certain strength to express themselves idea.

Doing so seems to be a bit of a joke, and there is a danger of decentralization.

In fact, this is the way of balance commonly used by emperors.

Because the power Zhu Changluo assigned was not his own power, but the power of the chief assistant of the cabinet and the chief of the military aircraft department.

Zhu Changluo likes to centralize power very much, but this does not mean that he likes the people below to also centralize power.

Therefore, he also wanted to take this opportunity to divide the power of the senior civil servants, making him even more superior to the officials.

This is not only conducive to the stability of his power, but also conducive to his future control of power.

After the decree of patrolling Shanhaiguan was issued from the Ciqing Palace, the officials, scholars and common people in Beijing were all discussing immediately.

Many people have never seen such a thing that the emperor and the crown prince went out of Beijing for a tour at the same time.

Therefore, at this moment, the topics in Beijing and China are all focused on Shanhaiguan.

Everyone is digging deep into the history of Shanhaiguan to increase the conversation between themselves and their friends.

At the same time, those merchants who often go to Liaodong through Shanhaiguan are also very nervous.

They were worried whether this tour would delay their business.

After all, the emperor and the crown prince are going to Shanhaiguan. By then, the customs of Shanhaiguan will definitely be stricter.

Therefore, at this time, these businessmen who relied on doing business inside and outside the customs could not help paying attention to this major political event.

However, Zhu Changluo soon found out about it under the report of the intelligence agency.

Zhu Changluo also immediately reissued a decree, as long as he passed the cooperation and approval of the Xishan caravan, he could continue to do business during the Royal Driver's tour of Shanhaiguan.

It is also very simple to obtain the cooperation and approval of the Xishan caravan, that is, all merchants who do business in Shanhaiguan must use the bank notes of the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty as the only proof of goods settlement in addition to cash.

Now, not only can the banknotes of Daming Royal Bank be further promoted, but also financial means can be used to control the trade in and out of Shanhaiguan, which is killing two birds with one stone!
It can be seen that power is really wonderful.

Without power, wanting to do such a thing is simply a dream!
