Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 214

"I'm waiting to meet your Majesty!"

After returning from the inspection at the inner transport warehouse, Zhu Youxiao had not been allowed to rest. A group of officials who had been waiting outside the Qianqing Palace for a long time saluted when they saw the Emperor's Majesty.

"It's all free."

After getting off the sedan chair, Zhu Youxiao looked at the group of ministers in front of him, with a faint smile on his lips. The talents closely surrounding him can be said to be full of talents.

It is not easy to be the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Not only must we care about everything and think about the country and the country at all times, but we must also know how to give both kindness and power. No matter what kind of group they are, we must take care of them, even if they are eunuchs and eunuchs in the inner court, even if their descendants have been cut off and they are slaves of the emperor. But they are also human beings. If they want to make their horses run, they must feed them frequently.

Therefore, just having power is not enough. You must show favor from time to time. It doesn't matter if it's too much or too little. You must show an attitude. Whoever fulfills his duties faithfully and whoever works hard without complaint will be rewarded for his efforts.

Just like this time when he inspected the internal transportation warehouse, in addition to understanding the actual income and expenditure of internal funds, Zhu Youxiao also specially rewarded a group of eunuchs.

A superior does not necessarily have to do everything himself. He must know how to let his subordinates work for him and complete the errands. Therefore, as long as it is not a matter of principle, such as some innocuous things, do not pay attention to them. If you should give them the full details, you should give them the full details. When your subordinates see hope and taste the sweetness from time to time, fame, wealth, power, status, care... they must be given in a targeted manner, otherwise who will work for you?

Some things have gone wrong, and others have criticized them. No matter what the reason is, they just cherish their own feathers and bury their subordinates. After a long time, who dares to sacrifice their lives for you?

If you don't know how to draw a big pie, you are not a qualified leader.

If you don't know how to motivate, you are not a qualified leader.

Of course, when it comes to issues of principle, you should express your dissatisfaction when you need to express it, and make it clear when you need to lose your temper. Otherwise, if you give too much grace, your fear will disappear.

Boundaries must be clear.

The bottom line must be clear.

It’s not about how strong your abilities are, but who provides you with a stage so that you can show your talents to your heart’s content. If loyalty and awe are gone, then everything that belongs to you will also dissipate.

"The ministers of Mr. Xuan's Mansion are here~"

The group of ministers waiting outside Dongnuan Pavilion did not follow the emperor in. Instead, they stood in three distinct groups, waiting for the emperor's summons.

As Liu Ruoyu, the eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, conveyed the oral instructions, Sun Guozhen, Yu Yinggui, Shao Jiechun, Lu Guanxiang and other Shaofu officials entered the Dongnuan Pavilion one after another, while a group of eunuchs waiting outside the palace followed with stacks of slips and files. , everything seemed so orderly.

"I am very satisfied with the errand done by the young master."

As soon as everyone entered the hall, Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the throne, took a big sip from a tea cup. After drinking, he looked at Sun Guozhen and the others and said: "The imperial village directly under the jurisdiction of the People's Government is plowing in the spring, the northern Zhili Province is gathering refugees, and the county-level imperial villages in all prefectures are... Decentralization of power, addition of official officials... I have read all these memorials, and it is not in vain for me to allocate money from internal funds.

However, there are a few things that the Shaofu must follow up and pay attention to. The first is to set up workshops for various industries, the second is to coordinate the rectification of the river and sea system, the third is to clarify the official system, the fourth is to set up examinations and selections for the Shaofu, and the fifth is The imperial store reopens, part six..."

Zhu Youxiao stated one by one, and Sun Guozhen and the others memorized one by one, but everyone's expressions were different. After all, there were many things that if officials from outside the court were to know, it would probably cause a lot of controversy and criticism.

The existence of the Shaofu, on the one hand, takes over some of the powers of the inner court and limits some of the power of the eunuch group. But on the other hand, the inner court has divisions who are also supervising the Shaofu. The two are like me among you, you among me, and each other. I have worries about doing things all the time, and I can't do whatever I want.

But in the same way, the existence of the Shaofu is undoubtedly a small court for the outer court, but it is centered around the emperor and the inner court. "Your Majesty, please make it clear about the official position of the Young Mansion, as well as the examination and selection of the Young Mansion. If we really want to proceed, I am afraid that some officials will criticize and dispute."

As soon as Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, Sun Guozhen stepped forward and bowed: "After all, the young master had it before, but..."

"Whoever wants to criticize or dispute, please tell them to come to me directly, and you don't need to pay attention."

Zhu Youxiao directly waved his hand and interrupted: "The salaries of all the officials in the Shaofu, big and small, are all directly allocated from internal funds. There is no need for officials to allocate them. What I want to do is my business.

Ever since I became emperor, palace affairs have been the most difficult to deal with. I don’t want to have to clean out a group of rats and borers every now and then.

The time for you to enter the Shaofu is not short. Just say how much things need to be done under the jurisdiction of Beizhili?Can the errands be handled well by the eunuchs and eunuchs of the inner court?
Do they understand farming?Do you know how to gather people?Do you know water conservancy?Do you understand business?
The imperial estate must ensure internal funds, but it must also take into account the local area. I didn't care about it in the past, but now, the young master must take over these responsibilities. "

Sun Guozhen, Yu Yinggui, Shao Jiechun, Lu Guanxiang and other young ministers looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't say anything else.

Although they have encountered a lot of criticism or criticism since they entered the Shaofu, the things they did in the past were all considered for the local government and the grassroots.

If nothing else, let’s talk about the resettlement of Liao people.

After the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Saerhu, a large number of Liao people fled into the pass. The local officials blamed each other, while the central officials turned a blind eye. However, these people actually existed and were roaming all over Beizhili. There was no guarantee at all. Yeah, he's fucking dead.

After the Shaofu was established, Huangzhuang was gradually taken over, followed by settling them into Huangzhuang. They may not have any land in their name, but at least they would not die of hunger. After entering Huangzhuang, they could rent land for planting. According to the unified After paying the agricultural tax, the rest belongs to the individual. In addition to keeping enough food income for the whole family, the Shaofu will also purchase the rest that he wants to sell.

There are too many details that need to be scrutinized and clarified. Zhu Youxiao was just talking, but Sun Guozhen, Yu Yinggui, Shao Jiechun, and Lu Guanxiang were running away.

Once this person gets busy, he still does the right thing. Even if there are loud criticisms or accusations from the outside world, most of them don't have the time or energy to pay attention to it.

"There are a few more things that the young master should also pay attention to."

Zhu Youxiao's expression became serious and he looked at Sun Guozhen and the others, "I don't care what method you use or where you gather them from. In all the Huangzhuangs under the jurisdiction of Beizhili, the Huangzhuang School must be opened. People, you are responsible." Find, bank, I am responsible for allocating it, and it must be implemented by the end of this year.

In addition, the various colleges in Huangzhuang on the outskirts of Beijing must find a group of talents who are proficient in their profession. Whether the students are qualified or not is another matter. First, let me set up the framework. How much money is needed can be submitted to the emperor. "

There are too many things to follow up and implement.

Sun Guozhen, Yu Yinggui, Shao Jiechun, Lu Guanxiang and others, after listening to what the emperor said, they didn't seem to have changed on the surface, but they felt a little miserable in their hearts.

Since entering the Young Mansion, they rarely get a sound sleep. All kinds of things come up in piles, and everything is complicated and requires them to discuss, coordinate, and coordinate.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao is aware of these situations.

He just wants to force the officials of the Young Mansion to work and do things. Of course, the salary they will give is very generous. It is impossible to just let them do things without even a little reward.

According to Zhu Youxiao's overall vision, the framework of the Shaofu will be very large in the future, so large that it must be able to carry out the perfect transition of institutional reform. If there is a foreign minister who can do things, then do it. If not, then choose someone else to do it. , the dismantling of the civil service group must be followed up. Just thinking about getting benefits and fame, not wanting to do anything, not wanting to do anything, it is just a habit!
The powers under the jurisdiction of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were too great, and they must be gradually dismantled. To manage the people, they should manage the people well. When it comes to military powers, they should not even think about touching them.

To be both civil and military, to seek change in all industries, to consider both internal and external, to be both king and hegemon... This is the foundation that the Ming Dynasty must have, and what Zhu Youxiao has to do is to fight and game closely around this core. Until what he wants can be realized one by one.
