My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 294
Zhu Di added officials to the three ministers, all of whom were awarded the title of bachelor, but this move did not come out of thin air.Xu Jingchang mentioned the responsibility of the state earlier, and Jian Yi followed his meaning and explained it.

The preliminary conclusion has been handed over to Zhu Di.

After thinking about it, Zhu Di decided to increase the power of the minister, arrange important ministers, and take charge of the main affairs. It happened that Huang Guan proposed, and Zhu Di followed suit and carried out initial reforms. He wanted to observe and see how effective it was!

Take Huang Guan for example, he is now the Grand Master of Shangshu who is in charge of education affairs, and the scope he can be responsible for is quite extensive.

Under his rule, he helped the common people, strengthened righteousness, eradicated rape and evil, encouraged goodness, publicized in the mansion, offered sacrifices to sages, and revised books in official schools... Huang Guan had the greatest say.

It is almost the same as being called a super Shangshu.

Compared with him, Xia Yuanji's authority has also been greatly increased. This time, he is not just as simple as the Minister of the Ministry of Households, but is in charge of financial power, such as foreign trade, issuing currency, formulating commercial taxes, and developing industry and commerce. , Persuading Ke Nongsang... Let's put it this way, he can intervene in any matter that is linked to money and food.

Jian Yi's authority has also been strengthened. In the past, the Ministry of Officials was the title of management official, and hundreds of officials were selected, but this time, the supervisory function was added.

Zhu Di's move seems to have broken the structure of the six ministers and nine ministers, allowing some people to wield far more power than Shangshu... But after careful analysis, the problem is not very big.

Some government affairs are always together, and they are separated only for checks and balances... For example, the Ministry of Officials decides the fate of hundreds of officials.

The action this time is nothing more than a clear stipulation that Jian Yi has the right to intervene in the affairs of the Inspectorate.

For Xia Yuanji, the reasoning is the same. Along with the development of Beiping and the success of the voyages to the West, the prosperity of commerce occupies a very large share. Whoever controls the financial power must control the overall situation and make reasonable plans in order to successfully fulfill the mission.

"Mr. Ding, please forgive me for being blunt. These ministers have been promoted and have increased their authority. What will you be responsible for in the future?"

Hu Ming asked curiously.

Will Xu Jingchang be emptied from now on?
Xu Jingchang laughed and said, "What am I responsible for? You can roughly understand that I don't care about anything they can manage, and I care about everything they don't care about. I can manage things they want me to take care of, and they don't want me to take care of them." I can also intervene in whatever matters."

Hu Wei was silent for a long time, chewing carefully, and finally understood a little bit, "That is to say, if you want to control, no one can stop you. If you don't want to control, you can push it out. The so-called freedom of advance and retreat, is it not?"

Xu Jingchang smiled brightly, and this understanding can definitely score more than 85 points.

Hu Wei thought for a while, but still puzzled and said: "If the next official remembers correctly, the former Secretary of General Administration is like this, and it seems that there is no change now!"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Why is there no change? In this way, a small minister can be set up under the great minister."

"Little Shangshu?"

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Take the Ministry of Rites as an example. Huang Shangshu is a veritable great minister. In addition, two small ministers can be added to be responsible for education and publicity. There are more under the household department, which can be increased to four small ministers. There are also two minor ministers in the official department. quota."

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Hu Shidu, are you interested? With your talent, after being transferred, it won't be long before you can be promoted to the position of Minister. It's a piece of cake!"

Hu Wei was surprised, what else is there to say?
It seems that the traditional six-part structure is completely broken at this moment.

Without hesitation, he immediately said: "I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to follow Duke Ding."

Xu Jingchang smiled, "If that's the case, then go to my mansion, Madam said that we will hold a formal apprentice banquet."

Hu Yi hurriedly agreed, overjoyed.

At the most critical moment of the adjustment of the official system, Huang Guan transferred Zuo Yutian, the governor of Shandong Province, to Beijing to serve as the Minister of Rites.

If this order continues, it will be terrible. Zuo Yutian was born as the champion of Enke. During his stay in Shandong, he assisted Yuan Gang and eradicated the big family. The forces in Yanshenggong's mansion were all solved by their joint efforts.

Afterwards, even the Qi Palace did not let go.

After Yuan Gang was transferred to Beiping and served as the Governor of Taxation, Zuo Yutian was in charge of Shandong... He completed several major reforms, which were almost earth-shattering.

First of all, the first one, Zuo Yutian concentrated power and wiped out bandits.

It has just been played recently, and the banditry that plagued Shandong has basically been eliminated.

Not only the banditry, he also tracked down a large number of Bailian sect bandits, eradicated private temples, and arrested countless priestesses and nuns.

Furthermore, Zuo Yutian was in Shandong and thoroughly investigated the problem of human trafficking. He once set a feat of beheading more than 300 human traffickers in one day.

And it was by his thunderbolt method that Shandong gradually regained its vitality.

The common people live in peace and contentment.

Shandong, a province that has suffered from wars, has now officially announced that there are no refugees, no bandits, and no brothels in the entire Shandong!
These three achievements can be said to have shocked the whole country.

Huang Guan invited Zuo Yutian to his home and treated him warmly.

After three glasses of wine, Huang Guan sighed: "Mr. Zhuangyuan, if it weren't for your achievements in governing Shandong, I wouldn't dare to say those things to your majesty. Your success has given me the hope of making the world better. Really There is a kind of power that can cleanse the filth and clarify the universe. Today's Shandong is worthy of being called the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, the land of poetry and etiquette!"

Faced with Huang Guan's praise, Zuo Yutian was terrified, "If you can govern a province, you may not be able to govern the whole country. A law that works in one place may not be applicable to the whole world. What's more, Shandong is also initially cleared, and I dare not say that it is a great rule. Many In other places, there is still the possibility of repetition. Let Huang Gongming learn from him."

Huang Guan smiled and nodded, "It's really rare to be neither arrogant nor impetuous. I naturally understand what you said, but you don't have to worry too much. This time the court will fully support it, and no one will hinder you."

Zuo Yutian was still puzzled, because he knew very well that the most difficult thing in this court was to do things.

Without a strong background and a great opportunity, nothing can be done at all.What's more, such a major event that concerns the overall situation of the world, how can it be done by arranging a few officials and adjusting a few people?
Huang Guan's smile remained undiminished, explaining the mystery behind it.

Not long ago, Xu Jingchang proposed five years of enthronement, and Zhu Di was very eager to make a performance and give a perfect summary of these five years.

Consoling Lao Zhu on the top, comforting the people on the bottom.

No shame, the emperor's attitude is particularly firm.

This is especially important in the court. Once the emperor hesitates, the following things will be difficult to handle.

Secondly, Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji, and Huang Guan, who were promoted together, doubled the power in their hands. They all want three fires for new officials to take office, and they are all comrades in the trenches. .

At this juncture.Whoever trips up someone will eventually get himself into it.

The top two layers are solved, and the following is how to implement it.

"Zuo Shilang, just let go and do it, no matter how much resistance there is, don't worry."

Hearing this, Zuo Yutian was finally shocked, "Mr. Huang, when do you think the next official will start handling official business?"

Huang watched his thoughts, and smiled and said, "Look at what you mean, the sooner the better?"

Zuo Yutian nodded, "Time doesn't wait, how about saving this glass of wine for a celebration banquet after the results are achieved?"

Huang Guan laughed, "Sure enough, I'm impatient, so I won't persuade you to drink. But I want to tell you one thing."

"what's up?"

"I'm ready to write a letter to His Majesty, and I'm going to open Enke again and recruit talents."

Zuo Yutian was overjoyed when he heard that, "Duke Huang, Enke, Tai students are officials, and the criminal examinations... The imperial court recruits talents from all walks of life, and they will definitely prosper and prosper, and a prosperous world can be expected."

Huang Guan then mentioned the problem of the Qinhuai River.

Zuo Yutian smiled and said: "When the lower official was in the capital, he already knew about it. Please don't worry, Mr. Huang."

Five days later, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, the Procuratorate, Jinyiwei, and even the Imperial Army of Shenji Camp, a total of 8000 people, were fully mobilized...not only the Qinhuai River, but also the outer city, and the extrusion docks. In one fell swoop.

More than 2000 criminals were taken into prison.

This move deeply shocked the entire Daming.

It turns out that there really is a power that can cleanse the dirt!

On the third day after the news spread, the brothels entrenched in Yangzhou closed their doors one after another, and the rest of Suzhou, Hangzhou, and other prosperous and romantic places all closed their doors and went out of business with trepidation.

The big guy just learned the lesson. It turns out that the Ministry of Rites is not only a place to talk about etiquette, but also a place to be unreasonable!
Such a thunderbolt method deeply shocked the people of the world.

This is not over yet, Zhu Di then issued a decree, clearly telling everyone that since I was in the imperial court, I have not made great contributions to the community, and I dare not sit back and watch the harm of the people, and run amok.Therefore, courtiers are ordered to eradicate rape and evil, and never condone and raise rape.

Zhu Di's statement poured another bucket of oil on the soaring court, and everyone was deeply shocked up and down.

Among this group of people, Xu Jingchang was the only one who really had nothing to do.

You can even spare time to go to the newly opened Huagu Theater on the banks of the Qinhuai River and listen to singing.

There is more and more hope for a better life.

Xu Jingchang and Hu Wei came to listen to the play, and they asked for a private seat, and they were delighted to hear it, and they were hooked.But just when Xu Jingchang was about to go back home, someone appeared in the theater... Interestingly, when this person appeared, everyone surrounded him.

Including several singing roles.

"Look at this ostentation, you're almost catching up with me." Xu Jingchang gave Hu Wei a wink, and this person passed by immediately, and after a while, Hu Ming came back out of breath.

"It's amazing, this guy actually discovered a big gold mine in Liaodong. It is said that the output is astonishing, and the money he can make every year is incalculable. Now many dignitaries in the capital want to get involved and make a fortune."

Xu Jingchang suddenly became curious, "Gold mines in Liaodong? There are indeed, and there are quite a few of them, but such a beautiful thing, how can it be their turn to make a big splash here? Isn't this a joke!"

When Hu Wei heard this, he immediately became vigilant, "Mr. Ding, is this really the case? Fortunately, the subordinate did not invest any money. This person talked so loudly that I almost couldn't hold it in."
