Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1524 Take down the Ministry of Industry
Walking on the path of the Ming Palace, Mu Jing hummed a ditty, with a wretched smile on his face, which made people see him, especially a feeling of being a villain.

"Another fool!"

It's no wonder that Mujing's happiness at this moment can be written on his face.

What he has to do is much more vicious than Cao Cao and Liu Bei. At most they just seize the world and continue the rule of the feudal dynasty.

But what Mujing wants to do is to change the existence of the entire era.

This is a backward feudal era.

Backward refers to backward productivity, backward life, backward spiritual culture, backward everything, the feudal era, that is because of the influence of Confucianism.

As for Mu Jing, he wants to liberate the productive forces, he wants to promote the progress of medicine, industry, and culture, and naturally he wants to break through the limitations of this era.

Reforms have been very difficult since ancient times. It is extremely difficult for one person to leverage the entire era, but we still have to do it.

Mujing wanted to break through one by one.

His New Deal has been supported by many people, but it is not strong enough, so he needs more people to support him.

Liuling, Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, has been in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture since the establishment of the Agricultural Cao. He worked hard and made great contributions to the agricultural development of the Ming Dynasty. He is a figure that cannot be ignored.

Taking him down would be great news for the New Deal.

But the valuable Liu Ling has been hanging outside.

Don't want to get involved with these things.

This time, Mujing's change of thinking actually managed to conquer him, so people must have shortcomings.

No matter whether it is Qian Quan or not, Liu Ling can't be moved now, but he also has a dream that he pursues, and giving him a dream will always make him obedient.

"This person has his own desires!" Mu Jing began to think about who he should win over next. He believed that as long as he was willing to do it, there was no castle that could not be broken.

"The Ministry of Agriculture has eaten it, and Hu Zhao must have reacted quickly. I have to be quicker!" Mu Jing began to think about it. Once Hu Zhao reacted, his chances would be slim.

Hu Zhao is currently busy with the enthronement ceremony, so he has the opportunity to steal the chicken.

Otherwise, the chances of him openly confronting Hu Zhao are really slim. Although the imperial power is overbearing, the courtiers are the core of the court. As the head of the courtiers, Hu Zhao has great influence.

It's fine if he doesn't speak.

Once they open their mouths, those people will be easily attacked by him no matter how much they support the New Deal. No one dares to take such a risk.

………………

The next day, there were only six or seven days until the enthronement ceremony, and Mu Jing's thoughts at this time were not on the enthronement ceremony at all, but on the ministers.

The enthronement ceremony was prepared by Hu Zhaoxi and Zhicai, and the Minister of Rites was sitting next to him. It was not a big problem. The Minister of Rites was concurrently held by Cai Yong. When the Ministry of Rites was established, Cai Yong was finally appointed because no suitable person was found. Cai Yong is the most suitable person for the position. Under the Ministry of Rites, there are several departments such as the Education Department, the Honglu Department, and so on.

Mu Jing went to the Ministry of Industry first.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Industry is now in charge of Liu Ye.

He was able to sit in this position, mainly due to the advantage of establishing the Ming Palace, because he established the Ming Palace, so he has enough qualifications to sit on the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Under the Ministry of Industry, there are quite a few offices in charge of the Ministry of Industry, including the Military Industry Department, which is under the control of the Ministry of Industry. In addition, the Hongdu Institute of Science and Technology is also under the control of the Ministry of Industry in name.

The position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry is naturally very important.

Liu Ye is relatively young, but fortunately, Ma Su supports him. Ma Su is the director of Hongdu Science and Technology Institute. He supports Liu Ye, and others dare not say anything.

Qi Ye of the Military Industry Department has an idea.

But he was inferior to Liu Ye in terms of ability and political level. Liu Ye used a trick and almost dismembered the Military Industry Department.

Chu Zheng, who was in charge of the first workshop of the Military Industry Department under his command, Mingyi Workshop, was dismembered by Liu Ye and poached. Taking Chu Zheng, the biggest advantage of the Military Industry Department has been lost.

At this time, Qi Ye had to contact Zhang Song of the Armament Department to resist Liu Ye's attack, otherwise he would almost disappear as the head of the Military Industry Department.

Liu Ye also ascended the throne smoothly.

But he is too young, and his qualifications are very low, so among all the ministers, he has always been the target of attack. In the past two years, he must carefully control his speech and dare not say a wrong word, otherwise he will be attacked. will be impeached.

"Zi Yang!"

Mu Jing is very close to Liu Ye. This is a talent in history. After entering Mu Ming's command, he will definitely display the level he should have in the Mo family, and he is also a politically sensitive person.

Mohist craftsmen, many people have inherited the so-called principle of universal love and non-gong, but the world is so chaotic, there is no market for universal love and non-gong, so they are all political novices, naturally they can only be rejected by Confucianism way to go.

Agricultural business.

In the Confucian system, the existence of craftsmen is not as cute as that of peasants. If you think about it, you will know what kind of treatment the craftsmen inherited from Mohism have received over the years.

In the Ming Dynasty, Mu Jing attached great importance to craftsmen. In his opinion, the future is the world of craftsmen. Once the industrial age breaks out, craftsmen will be directly pushed to the top.

This is also the scene Liu Ye saw at the beginning, so he ran from Jiangdong to the southwest without hesitation, and took refuge in Mujing. The first project was the Qianming Palace.

No, he also has a landmark project, the bridge across Jiangbei County and Yuzhong County, which is one of his handicrafts. He has provided the best service in terms of design and technology, otherwise even if With concrete and steel bars, it is not easy to build such a bridge.

In addition, Liu Ye is very politically capable. He sat in this position, not to mention convincing everyone, but over the years, in addition to not offending others, he has never disgraced the Ministry of Industry, and will not make others think that the Ministry of Industry is better than others. Other strides humble, that's what he's capable of.

To achieve such a state, it is not possible for ordinary people to do it. It requires excellent political ability. After all, the Ministry of Industry is also a piece of meat and potatoes. How many people want to eat it, he can stabilize the situation and save face , of course not simple.

"Your Majesty, do you have any orders?"

Liu Ye was a little absent-minded, and only woke up when he heard Mu Jing's cry, and asked with his face clasped.

"I can't talk about orders!"

Mu Jing smiled, and said: "Gu just walked around casually today, thinking that I haven't visited the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry for a long time, so I came here to see what you are busy with?"

"Your Majesty, at present, the Ministry of Industry is mainly building the Temple of Heaven!" Liu Ye quickly reported, "When Your Majesty established the Ming Kingdom, although we built the Temple of Heaven in front of the Ming Palace, it was not large enough to support His Majesty's ascension to the throne. This time, we will build a more powerful Temple of Heaven outside the city!"

"In fact, I just feel that there is no need to waste money and people, just do it casually. Enthronement is just a ceremony after all!"

Mu Jing waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, this is impossible!"

Liu Ye smiled wryly: "Your Majesty's ascension to the throne is in accordance with the destiny. The destiny is so important that you need to worship. To worship God, you must follow the etiquette system. The etiquette system does not allow us to be too small, otherwise God will not know the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. , in the future, it will be detrimental to the country of our Daming Jiangshan. The establishment of Daming is a big event for the whole world to celebrate. In fact, it is best to consecrate Zen directly on Mount Tai. Establish the Great Ming Dynasty, if you have a chance in the future, go to Taishan to enshrine Zen!"

According to the current history, they all believe that Mount Tai is the highest and most sacred mountain. Fengchan Mount Tai is a kind of ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven, where God will be closest to us.

"It's up to you!" Mu Jing didn't care about this matter, anyway, the money that should be paid has already been paid, so let them do whatever they want.

In this day and age, there is a bit of feudal superstition, which is a normal thing. Even after 2000, people all over the world read books, the wisdom of the people has been enlightened, and there are also feudal superstitions.

After all, in this era, there is no science, and there is no way to analyze many phenomena and things, so we can only push them all to God.

"Does Your Majesty have something to say to your minister?" Liu Ye observed that Mu Jing had obviously come prepared.

"Zi Yang, how is your Ministry of Industry doing recently?" Mu Jing was not in a hurry to get to the point.

"It's not bad!"

Liu Ye thought for a while and replied: "Due to the war this year, the budget of our Ministry of Industry has been cut in half, and our construction plan for Yudu City has to be put on hold temporarily, and there are also several major roads that have been suspended! "

He paused, and said: "But in general, we have built two roads this year, one leading to Jingzhou, one passing through Nanzhong, and another road leading to the seaside of Jiaozhou, which has already opened up the most difficult road. Fortunately, there are explosives, otherwise it would take too long to build roads and bridges. At present, we want to completely open the road to the South China Sea, and the time is not far away!"

"Not bad!"

Mu Jing nodded. The latest achievements of the Ministry of Industry are still relatively large.

"Your Majesty is not looking for me to verify the achievements of our Ministry of Industry, but for the New Deal, right?" Liu Ye spoke suddenly, poking at Mu Jing's thoughts.

"how do you know?"

"Last night, Liu Shangshu invited me to drink!" Liu Ye smiled wryly: "Although the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Agriculture are major departments, in the eyes of Confucianism, they belong to heretics, and we are not welcomed by those in the Ministry of Households, Ministry of Officials , so we have to hug each other to keep warm, and our relationship is pretty good on weekdays. Liu Shangshu was drunk and talked a lot, so today the king appeared in the Ministry of Industry, and I knew what the king wanted to do!"

"This Liu Fengren is really outspoken!" Mu Jing curled his lips, but it was understandable, after all, he drew a big cake for Liu Ling, and it was inevitable that Liu Ling would be happy.

Moreover, Liu Ling's heart is still very good, he probably wants to help Mu Jing, since he is on the big ship of the New Deal, he has to bring more people on board.

"Your Majesty, regarding the New Deal, I have done a little research on all the policies promulgated by the court recently. The New Deal is the general trend. Even Prime Minister Hu can't stop Your Majesty's footsteps!"

Liu Ye looked at Mujing, and said softly: "But the reform means bloodshed. Taking the ancient times as a lesson, Shang Yang's reform did remake Qin, but how much blood was shed, no one knows. In the end, Shang Yang also died on his own. Under the new law, how sad!"

"So you don't agree?" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes.

"No!"
Liu Ye shook his head: "From the standpoint of the minister, the minister absolutely agrees. In the past, my Mohist school was also side by side with Confucianism. Mozi is not weaker than the status of Confucianism and Taoism sages. But these years, the Mohism is like a mouse. Being able to hide, the inheritance of the Mohist family is not as good as the next generation, and if this continues, my Mohist family will even disappear one day!"

He looked into Mujing's eyes and became very respectful: "It is meeting the great king that gave our Mo family a place to live. Whether it is the Academy of Science and Technology or the Ministry of Industry, there are groups of Mohists. They are very interested in craftsmanship. That kind of attitude and that kind of concentration may not even have been there when Mohism was established, and all of this is because the king is reforming the law and changing the situation where Confucianism is the only one. Regardless of whether it is public or private, we all support the reform and the development of the New Deal!"

"Then what exactly do you mean?" Mu Jing was a little confused.

"Your Majesty, the New Deal must be implemented, but there is no rush!" Liu Ye is not an ordinary craftsman, nor is he an ordinary official. For Guochaotang, Mujing is his only backer. He not only wants Mujing to support him, but also needs to feed back Mujing with his own ability. It is to plan for Mujing. As a counselor, he is also qualified.

"You mean, let Gu take his time and take it step by step. We are all young, but Hu Zhao Caiyong and the others are already old. Sooner or later, they will not be able to sustain our attack, right?"

Mu Jing understood Liu Ye's thoughts.

"Yes!" Liu Ye nodded, he never understood, Mu Jing was young, he was young, and the New Deal and Party were all young, so why must they be so nervous.

"Zi Yang, your idea is correct, but you can't do it alone!" Mu Jing shook his head: "Everything is done with one breath, as long as this breath doesn't dissipate, no matter what the danger is, it can be done." Get over it, but as long as this tone dissipates, even if you still want to do it later, you will encounter more obstacles. At that time, you still wait, continue to wait, when is the first time, the New Deal, you can only go Forcibly implement it, we can’t wait for any opportunity, because we will destroy the interests of many people and hurt the future of many people..."

Why did Mu Jing not want to take his time, but the slower the new policy, the more stable the old system, and they can't pursue it fiercely, it will definitely give them a chance to breathe.

When the time comes, the gentry, aristocratic families, and noble families will all gain a firm foothold and come together to oppose Mujing. Mujing will be busy with unifying the world and quelling civil strife, so there will be no time to take care of the New Deal.

If you want to do it, you must do it quickly.

He has to rely on this tone and this momentum to stabilize the New Deal and not give anyone a chance to lay the foundation for the future of the New Deal.

"Am I too short-sighted?"

Liu Ye heard the words, thought for a while, and muttered to himself.

He looked at the invincible aura on Mu Jing's face, and involuntarily took half a step back. He still underestimated the ferocity of the king in front of him.

My own idea is correct, but it is not enough to use it in the New Deal.

"Sir, I would like to support the New Deal!" Liu Ye gritted his teeth, since Mu Jing didn't give him a way out, he didn't need a way out, and if he couldn't delay, let's see if the king was right.

"it is good!"

Mu Jing smiled, and said: "I have been suppressing it before, we have already discussed the 'artisan level standard evaluation', and it will be implemented immediately after ascending the throne. This is the biggest change in the Ministry of Industry. The higher the level of artisan, the better Remuneration, including salary and rank, must be fully matched!"

"promise!"

Liu Ye nodded.
