Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 915 Easter egg chapter ⑨ Military household system reform, the establishment of the Ming cabinet

After that night, Zhu Yuanzhang did not come to Donghui Courtyard again for several days.

The clean water, food supply, and garbage delivery service promised to Hao Guangming arrived every day as promised.

After five days like this, it was Hao Guangming and Zhu Yu who were in a hurry.

"Could it be that what you said that night made Taizu too angry, so he didn't come to see us anymore?" Auntie Zhu in the plane said worriedly.

"Probably not." Hao Guangming said uncertainly, "Although I didn't save face for him and exposed Daming's fig leaf when I spoke that night, I was indeed giving him advice.

In his heart, Daming Jiangshan Sheji should be more important than anything else.He may not come to see us for a while because of his face, but it is impossible for him to never come to see us. "

"But we don't necessarily have much time to wait for him," Aimee Zhu said, taking out the black jade ring, pointing to the bright section of light on it, and said: "If the black jade ring regains its full luster, we will be sent away immediately." , then don’t we just come to Hongwu Dynasty for nothing?”

Hao Guangming said: "The black jade ring was only activated after four or four of us dripped blood together. Even if the black jade ring has enough energy again, it may not necessarily send us away directly, right?"

"Msanggong said that it might not be possible, so there is a possibility. Hurry up and think of a way, we can't waste time here."

Hao Guangming scratched his head when he heard this.

He had to admit that Aimee Zhu's worries were justified.The operation rules of the black jade ring are too mysterious to grasp.

When Hao Guangming was thinking about how to deal with it, Hao He, who had been listening in, said kindly: "Parents, is this problem not easy to solve? You ask them for some pens and paper, and write down everything you need to tell Taizu.

If in the future, after the black jade ring is fully charged, it really takes the initiative to send us away, and leave those papers to Taizu. "

Hao Guangming and Zhu Yu's eyes lit up when they heard this.

"This method is good, my son is really smart." As a loving father, Hao Guangming praised his son without hesitation.

Auntie Zhu also touched Hao Heshan's head, showing a gratified smile.

Hao Guangming then used the phone wall to start the video and told the pro-army guards outside that they had important matters to ask Zhu Yuanzhang.

After more than a quarter of an hour, Zhu Yuanzhang did not come, but Zhu Biao and Zhu Di came together.

"I don't know what the honorable guest is looking for my father?" Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao treated people very politely and made people feel very comfortable.

Hao Guangming said: "We are worried that we will leave without knowing when, so we will miss the opportunity to come to Hong Wuchao, so we hope to have a pen and paper to record some important things.

In this way, even if we really leave suddenly one day, you will not get nothing. "

After listening, Zhu Biao asked strangely: "How can you say that the distinguished guest left suddenly? Could it be that you can't control the coming and going?"

Hao Guangming sighed: "We came here in a daze, and we are also dazzled about when to leave. It's really hard to guarantee anything."

Zhu Biao nodded, "Okay, I'll have someone prepare a pen and paper for delivery."

After Zhu Biao finished his orders, Hao Guangming couldn't help asking curiously: "Why hasn't Taizu come here these days? Are you still annoyed by what I said that night?"

Zhu Di on the side couldn't help but said: "Do you think father is as narrow-minded as you?"

Hao Guangming listened to the slander: Your father is sometimes very narrow-minded.

Zhu Biao said: "What the distinguished guest said that night touched my father a lot, so in the past few days, my father has gathered a group of talented and intelligent literati to study the matter of changing the household registration system of our Ming Dynasty.

By the way, I came here today, entrusted by my father, to ask the distinguished guests for the method of reforming the medical system. "

Hao Guangming said: "I have already written about the innovation method of the medical system, but it is on the on-board computer, not on paper. You can find two people to come and copy it later.

By the way, do you have any ideas on the reform of the household registration system?Do you need my help? "

Zhu Biao said: "I do have some ideas on my father's side, but they are not mature. If the distinguished guests are willing to help, it would be great."

Then, Zhu Biao talked about the household registration reform ideas that Zhu Yuanzhang had discussed with several "counselors" in the past few days.

Just like what Hao Guangming said that night, the household registration system of Daming was not created by Zhu Yuanzhang out of thin air, but was inherited from the various household registration systems of the Yuan Dynasty.

According to the different industries that the people are engaged in, the household registration is classified and managed.

Generally speaking, in addition to common people’s civilian households in the Ming Dynasty, military households had the largest population, and then there were artisan households, kitchen households, medical households, happy households, fishermen, boat households, kitchen households, monk households, Taoist households, etc. .

Among them, civilian households are under the management of the Ministry of Households, military households are under the management of the Ministry of War, kitchen households are under the management of the Transportation Department, medical households are under the management of the Imperial Medical Office, music households, monks and Taoists are under the management of the Ministry of Rites, kitchen households are under the management of the Taichang Temple, and fishermen are under the management of the Taichang Temple. The local He Bosuo and so on.

After all, people with household registrations such as military households were scattered all over the country, so some household registrations were cross-managed by local governments, which caused some confusion in management.

When it is beneficial, the officials on both sides will come over; if there is a need to take responsibility and work hard to do things, but when it is not beneficial, the officials on both sides may play football with each other, resulting in a situation where no one handles the matter.

Therefore, even if the Ming court is corrupt and incompetent one or two hundred years later, these systems have already revealed many drawbacks.

Among these special household registrations, military households have the largest population, accounting for about one-fifth of the total number of Ming household registrations.

The third is craftsmen and kitchen households.

As for other special household registrations, the number is relatively small.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to start with the military household and the Weisuo system. The Weisuo system and the military household system are the guarantee of the safety of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the problems of the Weisuo system and the military household can be solved, other special household registration reforms will be fine. done.

Therefore, in the past few days, Zhu Yuanzhang and those advisers were mainly studying how to reform the military household system and the guard system.

The first one is to allow the children of military households to take imperial examinations.

In the Hongwu Dynasty, the children of military households had no other choice except to serve as regular soldiers and fight wars, or to serve as soldiers and farm to supply military supplies.After Yongle, children of military households were allowed to take the imperial examination due to special cases.

After that, successive emperors of the Ming Dynasty gradually expanded this opening, and it was not until the Jiajing period that this special case gradually expanded and became a common practice.

And from among the scholars who were children of military households, Zhang Juzheng, the most famous chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, was born.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang directly allows the children of military households and soldiers to take the imperial examination, which is naturally a considerable innovation measure.

Hao Guangming could predict that once this policy came out, the military households who accounted for one-fifth of Ming's population would definitely support Zhu Yuanzhang even more.

Secondly, after meeting certain conditions, military households allowed their brothers and nephews to change their household registrations to civilian households, artisan households, etc., and they were only restricted from doing business within three generations.

For example, Zhengbing has made military exploits, military households have served for generations of Ming Dynasty, and so on.

Thirdly, it is to deepen the policy of changing positions for officers in the guard.

For example, in the past, only officers at the level of chief and deputy commanders of the guards would be changed by the court, and it was often more than ten years, or even every few decades.

Commanders and envoys, such as Qianhu, Baihu, Zongqi and other military officers, basically live in a certain place for generations and remain unchanged from generation to generation.

In this way, the officers of the guards can easily take advantage of their powers and become local tyrants and generals. Their interests are intertwined and intertwined.

Today, Zhu Yuanzhang requires military officers at the two levels of Qianhu and Wei Command to only serve in one place for a maximum of ten years, and they are not allowed to purchase real estate in the place where they serve.

As for the military salaries and other salaries of these officers, they are all paid by the Ministry of War, and they are no longer allowed to obtain income from the military farmland.

As for the military pay that the generals use, it is allowed to buy land in the mainland through a regular model.

Of course, the land rewarded by the imperial court to the generals is often chosen in the border provinces and border states.

Because it is easier to motivate generals to defend their homes and the country.

Finally, the recruitment system was tested in the Beijing camp in advance.

If the imperial court allows family members of military households to change their household registration, then the population of military households will decrease, and the source of soldiers in the guards will decrease.In this way, it is necessary to use recruitment as a supplement.

To test the recruitment system in the Beijing camp in advance is to prepare for a rainy day.

This is all that Zhu Yuanzhang and his advisers have been thinking about in the past few days-at least in Zhu Biao's report.

After listening, Hao Guangming couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "As expected of the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, since he realized the problem of the military household guard system, he didn't rush to talk about this reform, and it was all changed on the basis of ideas."

"That's right." After all, it is her own great ancestor, and Zhu Yu couldn't help showing a little proud expression when she heard the words, "The great ancestor may be limited by the times, lacking certain insight and long-term vision, but as long as he knows about it, he will definitely try his best to do well." .”

Zhu Biao and Zhu Di below were quite proud when they heard their conversation.

Zhu Biao did not forget Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation, and asked, "Do you have any suggestions for improving these innovative policies?"

Hao Guangming said: "Taizu has been quite decent about the reform of the military household and guard system, I don't have any good suggestions.

I can only say that since Taizu decided to experiment with the recruitment system in the Beijing camp, he might as well plan ahead and make some plans for the future of the Beijing camp.

Because, even if the fact that the Ming Dynasty’s Beijing camp was completely lost due to the battle of Tumubao in the future is not mentioned, the Beijing camp will also be stationed in the capital for a long time and lack opportunities for combat training, resulting in a decline in combat effectiveness year by year.

Especially after the old generation of soldiers who followed the Taizu passed away, the new generation was mostly selected from honorable and meritorious families. Compared with the old generation, it would probably be much worse. "

After hearing Hao Guangming's words, Zhu Biao couldn't help asking, "What happened to the Tumu Fortress battle?"

Hao Guangming glanced at Zhu Di, and said with a smile, "Well, I'm not sure about that. His Royal Highness can ask Emperor Taizu later."

At this time, the person who was ordered by Zhu Biao to get the pen and paper came, and the person who copied the "Medical System Innovation" memorial also came.

When the plane used the robotic arm to collect a large stack of the best paper in the Ming Dynasty at this time, Zhu Biao was ready to take Zhu Di to leave.

Hao Guangming shouted, "His Royal Highness, wait a minute."

"Is there something else for the distinguished guest?"

Hao Guangming said: "Speaking of military reform, there is indeed one more important thing, and that is the direction of future weapon development.

In the next few hundred years, firearms such as muskets and artillery will become more and more useful and powerful, and will eventually replace cold weapons such as knives, guns, bows and arrows.

Although the Ming Dynasty is currently leading the world in the use of firearms, it will gradually lag behind the West in the next 200 years.

Therefore, Taizu and Prince might as well pay attention to the research and application of firearms now.

As for the future development trend of firearms and some finished products, I will write them down on paper.If we really leave suddenly, Taizu and His Highness the Prince will naturally see. "

Hearing this, Zhu Biao solemnly bowed his hand towards the plane, "Thank you very much."

After speaking, he took Zhu Di and left.

A few days later, news came from the north that Xu Da, Tang He, and Fu Youde had returned victorious from the northern expedition.

As Hao Guangming said, Li Xuan and his followers were captured.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the great victory to implement the reform policy of the military household and guard system in Nanjing and even the entire Southern Zhili.

As Hao Guangming expected, once the policy came out, it was praised by military households all the time.After all, it is the 14th year of Hongwu, and some veterans have already retired and began to think about future generations.

Some veterans see that there are more and more people in their families, and their children don't want to be able to fight and make meritorious service like themselves. Naturally, they hope that their children can have other ways to make a living.

For mid-level generals, the interests will suffer a certain loss, but not too much.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang raised the military pay of the mid-level generals, and it was easy to stabilize the morale of the army.

After that, according to Hao Guangming's "Memorial", drastic reforms were carried out on the Ming Dynasty's medicine and medical system.

The first point is to establish specialized medical schools to encourage scholars to practice medicine, so that doctors can feel that Zhu Yuanzhang and the Ming court attach great importance to medicine.

The second is to establish a simplified version of the hospital on the basis of Jimin Pharmacy Bureaus in various places.

There is no way to do this. It is impossible to build a real hospital overnight. We can only start with a simple version and take it slowly.

The third thing is the real earthquake for the Ming government and the public, and that is Zhu Yuanzhang's decree to form a cabinet!

However, unlike the Ming cabinet in later generations, Zhu Yuanzhang’s cabinet currently does not have the positions of chief assistant and second assistant, but has arranged for three positions of bachelors and nine positions of bachelors.

It is said to the outside world that it is exclusively for Zhu Yuanzhang to consult about the regulations.

In fact, it is the emperor's private secretary team, or a staff group.

Originally, scholars in the world were a little angry because Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly paid attention to medicine, and even asked scholars to study medicine.

Now that they learned that the establishment of the cabinet gave them the opportunity to rise to the top and become close ministers of the emperor, they immediately celebrated and rejoiced one by one, and forgot about the establishment of the medical school.

As for the establishment of the "Daming Coal Industry Company", which was affiliated with the emperor's internal funds, no one noticed.

···
About ten days later, Zhu Yuanzhang came to Donghui Courtyard again.Judging by his demeanor, it is obvious that he has regained his former self-confidence and arrogance.

"Junior, I heard that you may be leaving, so we took time out of our busy schedules to visit you."

Hearing this, Hao Guangming immediately turned on the video and said with a smile: "Don't say that, Taizu, we can't stand it."

Zhu Yuanzhang also smiled, and said, "Okay, I won't bother you—we're here today, and I do have a few things I want to ask."
