The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 319

Just one breakfast made many ministers in the court tearfully grateful and weeping loudly.

It even seems to see the hope of Daming's future.

Is it a bit exaggerated?

This is really not an exaggeration, maybe even Zhu Ying didn't realize how terrifying his idea of ​​adding some benefits to officials is nowadays.

Officials of the Ming Dynasty are equivalent to a life-long system, and there is no such thing as retirement.

The more common normal retirement is to beg for bones from the emperor.

Generally speaking, it is really to the age that I can't do it anymore. I am 70 to [-] years old, I am sick, and my eyesight is dim.

Even if this is the case, it is impossible for the emperor to agree to begging for bones casually.

Otherwise, this review would be bad.

There are several more special and more dangerous, or were demoted, or exiled.

The crime of exile can be big or small, and life and death basically depend on the emperor's will.

It doesn't necessarily mean that those who are exiled must have a bad life.

Some veterans were too stubborn, relying on their elders to sell their elders. After being exiled by the emperor, their lives were similar to those of ordinary people.

If the emperor wants to kill him, he usually arranges it secretly.

Because of the lifetime system, there is no retirement salary.

It is also very suitable for the situation of officials to take a cold tea.

As for benefits, let alone.

Zhu Yuanzhang is very picky. Being an official in this era, the work intensity is more than ten times that of the previous dynasties.

The salary is not high, and he likes to kill corrupt officials.

To be able to see the sunrise of the second day every day is enough, what benefits are there to talk about.

At this darkest moment for officials of all dynasties, on this road to the early court.

Hot buns, dumplings, and all kinds of pastries.

Even next to this, the officials prepared hot water for washing hands and faces after breakfast.

This kind of thoughtful feeling is not acceptable to the current officials, even if they have never dreamed about it.

"My little father-in-law, dare to ask, is the breakfast like today a special gift from His Royal Highness, or will it happen every day in the future."

After Liu Sanwu washed his hands and face, and the eunuch came up to help tidy up his clothes, Liu Sanwu felt a very inexplicable feeling in his heart, and at the same time he couldn't help asking.

As soon as these words came out, many officials who were wolfing down their mouths immediately stopped their movements, pricked up their ears, and listened to the little eunuch's answer.

"Returning to my lord, His Royal Highness's decree is that every morning in the future will be arranged like today, not only today." The young eunuch replied with a smile while helping Liu Sanwu salute .

This answer made hundreds of officials present feel ecstatic.

Many ministers even directly praised:
"His Royal Highness, you really have a heart of benevolence and righteousness."

"There is nothing better than this wise king. With His Royal Highness Taisun like this, we old guys must be much more comfortable when we live."

"Yeah, I didn't expect His Highness Taisun to be so considerate. It seems to be just a small thing earlier, but from this we can see His Highness Taisun's love for us."

"From now on, we will assist His Royal Highness Taisun wholeheartedly, and dedicate our lives to this brilliant Ming Dynasty."

From the Dragon Boat Gate to the main hall, almost all the civil and military officials were praising His Highness the Grandson. For them, it was really a ray of light in the darkness.

Especially when Liu Sanwu was the head of the civil servants, he was very worried that His Royal Highness Taisun loved the warriors too much and ignored the civil servants.

From this point of view, His Royal Highness also loves civil servants very much.

In the early morning, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little strange.

The ministers who came to the court today seemed to be very energetic. Whether it was talking or analyzing many aspects, they were very hardworking. Compared with the previous court meetings, they felt completely different.

According to the current situation, it seems that lifeless can be used to describe the previous meeting.

Especially on many issues, many ministers dared to speak out boldly, reducing a lot of taboos.

"Which Ai Qing told us, what good things happened in the court, we don't know."

After a minister reported that the matter was dealt with, Zhu Yuanzhang finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.

The ministers down below heard what His Majesty said, but they all cast their eyes on His Highness Lian Taisun.

Following the guidance of hundreds of eyes, it was Da Sun.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Great grandson, could it be that you made this change in the court?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ying replied, "Grandpa, this may have something to do with my grandson's arrangements in the morning."

"Yesterday, my grandson heard that the Ministry of War came to the head of Qi, passed out after the court meeting, and was sent to the imperial hospital. Only then did I learn that many ministers in the court did not have time to eat breakfast because of the distance in the morning."

"This also led to the fact that our ministers in the capital of the Ming Dynasty came to court hungry."

Speaking of this, Zhu Ying looked at the hundreds of ministers in Fengtian Palace, took two steps forward, and said loudly: "My Ming Dynasty has more than 6000 million mouths, and I need hundreds of ministers in this Fengtian Palace. Jurisdiction."

"According to my palace, everyone is dedicated to their duties, working from dawn to dusk, and devoting themselves to the common people in this great world."

"Your body not only belongs to you, but also belongs to Daming. If you are sick, it will also affect the people of Daming."

"Thinking of this, I not only feel that in many aspects, I should pay more attention to the physical condition of the ministers, so I came up with the idea of ​​arranging this early arrival at the Dragon Boat Festival hall before the early court."

"Now it seems that the effect is remarkable."

After Zhu Yuanzhang listened to it, he realized that it was related to earlier.

Of course he knew about the early arrival of the matter, but he never thought that it would have such a big impact earlier.

In other words, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, many ministers got up early and asked the servants at home to prepare early.

It's not a big deal to eat breakfast.

From the Beijing official to the salary, there is no such thing as not being able to afford breakfast.

In fact, this is Zhu Yuanzhang ignoring people to himself.

One of the biggest problems is appetite.

Because of the distance, many ministers need to get up at three o'clock in the morning to catch the morning court.

In the second half of the night, it is generally very embarrassing to eat, and there is not much appetite, that is, it is not very easy to eat.

This has a lot to do with the Ming Dynasty's work and rest time.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang will also give a banquet after the court meeting, which is equivalent to breakfast, and most ministers don't want to waste this money.

Generally speaking, it still has a lot to do with salary.

Things like Shangshu are much better. After all, they live in the official residence, so they are close, so they can sleep longer and enjoy it early.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said affirmatively: "Since Dasun's method is good, let's get to the system earlier, and we can arrange it according to this in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang is still very satisfied with the spirit of the ministers in court this morning.

In fact, it is normal to think about it.

I got up at [-]:[-] in the morning and worked until about [-]:[-] in the morning. I didn’t eat for such a long time.

It's okay for a day or two, but after years and months, it's completely different.

Under the shouts of long live from the ministers, Zhu Ying has gained a very good reputation among the entire civil servants.

Even the Hanlin Academy began to think that His Highness Taisun is a Mingjun.

He didn't seem to be so emotionally resistant to the improvement of the previous warrior's low position.

From the imperial examination to the reform, it seems that there are more ideas.

As the meeting progressed, it soon came to an end.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "But there is still something that hasn't been reported, just say it."

The ministers below were silent, but Zhu Ying said, "Grandpa, grandson has something to discuss."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Ying took out a memorial from her pocket, walked to the old man's side in two steps, and handed it directly to the old man.

This is naturally not in line with the process. Normally, it should be given to the eunuch first, and then to Zhu Yuanzhang.

But for this, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally couldn't care about it. The officials who liked to stare at etiquette the most, also raised their eyelids, as if they didn't see it.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened the memorial, which was exactly the "recruitment plan for overseas vassal states" compiled by Zhu Ying yesterday.

Jin Wang Zhu Yan below seemed to have a feeling, and looked at his father expectantly.

After all, this matter can only be carried forward with the consent of the emperor's side.

After reading the introduction at the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but look up at Zhu Ying. Seeing Zhu Ying nodded slightly, he continued to read.

Due to time constraints, it was early in the morning when this memorial was written. In the early court, because of other things, when Zhu Ying arrived at Jinshen Hall, she was already in court, so she didn't go into details with the old man. .

After reading it, Zhu Yuanzhang felt mixed feelings in his heart.

He was always afraid that grandson would be too unfamiliar to his uncles, and that he would be too oppressive after he came to power.

But now it seems that Zhu Yuanzhang is starting to worry again, worrying whether this grandson is too friendly to these uncles.

From the beginning to the end of this memorial, it is to help the vassal kings who go overseas to establish a country, how to prepare to the greatest extent.

It even includes some means of support from Ming Dynasty to the vassals.

"Dasun, are you sure you want to do this?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a low voice.

Zhu Ying replied: "Grandpa, grandson has already made up his mind."

After Zhu Yuanzhang listened, he returned the memorial to Dasun, saying: "Then let Dasun himself talk about the announcement about this talent recruitment."

Zhu Ying took the memorial, walked to the front of the steps, did not open the memorial, and said directly:
"My palace feels the difficulty of the emperor's uncles to enshrine the country overseas, and the lack of talent recruitment in the inner court, so we specially set up an overseas recruitment center for the vassal state."

"The so-called Overseas Talent Recruitment Center is for eclectic selection of talents. Anyone who can pass a simple interview can become a vassal of the vassal state, and the rank is determined according to the vassal state system."

"The rank of officials in the vassal state, according to the clan relationship, within the territory of Daming, they will be treated as a lower rank. After five years of service in the vassal state, they can apply to return to Daming to report on their duties."

As soon as this remark came out, the whole court exploded immediately.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang asked the grandson, are you sure?

Obviously it's here.

According to what Zhu Ying said now, recruiting talents for the feudal lord, this preferential treatment has reached an unimaginable level.

The meaning of this is that as long as you pass the examination at the Overseas Recruitment Center, you can choose a vassal king and follow him to become an official overseas.

Not only that, as long as you have been an official overseas for five years, you can return to Daming.

According to the clan relationship, the second-rank officials in the vassal state are equivalent to the third-rank officials in Ming Dynasty.

All the officials can easily guess that when this overseas recruiting center is established, scholars from all over the world will inevitably flock to it.

What is reading for?
Now the scholars of Ming Dynasty can tell you very clearly that they want to be officials.

If you want to be an official, you don't have to be a scholar, at least you have to be a juren.

The difficulty of juren's assessment is difficult for ordinary people to understand. In Zhu Ying's mind, it is probably the concept of Tsinghua Yaoban in later generations.

But now, there is such a chance that you don't even need to be a scholar, you just need to pass the examination of the overseas recruitment center, and you can directly become an official.

Although this official position is a bit far away, it is still an official of Daming. The most important thing is that after five years of service, there is still hope of returning.

Among other things, scholars who have already obtained the status of scholar may not say in their hearts that they are sure that they will be admitted to Juren within nine years.

Juren has a trial every three years, and nine years is only equivalent to three chances.

It is very normal for most scholars to take the exam for more than ten years.

In contrast, there is no need for too much hesitation.

Many ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, and Liu Sanwu wanted to say a few words.

But these were all forced back by the vassal kings standing in the front row, such as King Qin, King Jin, and King Yan.

The vassals are not as easy-talking as His Majesty.

The titles of several vassal kings were killed on the battlefield. They have no taboos in character and are unscrupulous in their behavior. If they really want to be remembered by them, no matter what minister you are, they will do it directly.

As a prince, if he really wanted to kill any minister, he would at most receive some mild punishment.

So the civil servants in the court, after some hesitation, finally endured it.

Besides, it doesn't matter that they are all recruited overseas. Some people who are like clans also feel that it is entirely possible to send some disciples who are not very obedient in the clan.

It can be regarded as branches and leaves, and there is an extra way out.

"Since none of you lovers have any objections, then we will make a decision at this time." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a final word.
