My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 38: Imperial Reorganization and the Hakka Family

When the emperor came out of the Wenhua Hall after scolding everyone, it was already Shen Shizhong (five o'clock in the afternoon).

Returning to Nanhaizi at this time, I don’t know how dark it will be by the time the sky comes.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao reluctantly planned to stay in the palace for one night.

After offering a stick of incense to Taichang in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao sat on the chair with a golden sword and looked at the group of eunuchs who had assembled.

The inner court and the outer court of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be clearly divided.

If the outer court serves the imperial court, then the inner court exclusively serves the royal family, or the emperor alone.

Some time ago, when Wei Zhongxian cleaned up the palace, he only cleaned up Wang An's gang members in the palace. He did not do much to the old eunuchs left by Wanli.

Regarding the reform, the resistance from the outer court is too great. Today, the power of hearing and making reports has been abolished. Tomorrow, I don’t know how busy the capital will be.

As for the inner court, it's easier to say that it has everything it should have and forms its own system.

24 The yamen is divided into twelve prisons, four divisions, and eight bureaus. These people manage the royal family's food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and they spend several million taels of silver a year.

Looking at the roster in front of him, Zhu Youxiao rubbed the finger on his hand.

This management organization was too complicated, and he wanted to change it to make it more suitable for him, the emperor.

The assembled eunuchs looked nervously at the young master sitting on top.

Is this man going to kill someone again?

What are people most afraid of nowadays?
What I fear most is meeting a master who likes to torment people and is moody.

"deliver an imperial order."

"There is an internal affairs office, which is responsible for the food and drink expenses, food, clothing, housing and transportation in the palace. The direct palace supervisor, the shrine supervisor, the internal official supervisor, the imperial supervisor, the secretary supervisor, the food supervisor, the clothing supervisor, the salary department, the bell and drum department, The Baochao Department, the Hundang Department, the Banking Bureau, the Clothing Bureau, the Scarf and Hat Bureau, the Needlework Bureau, the Internal Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, the Wine, Vinegar Noodles Bureau, and the Siyuan Bureau were all merged into the Internal Affairs Bureau. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has a handprint eunuch , the second rank of Zheng, and then set up the positions of prime minister, administrator, bookkeeper, bookkeeper, director, etc., the grades start from the third rank of Zheng and end at the ninth rank, and at the end of the year, the king is appointed as the eunuch in charge of the seal."

Zhu Youxiao ordered while drawing something on the booklet with a pen.

"The Si Li Jian, Shang Bao Jian, and Yin Shou Jian were combined into the Foreign Affairs Office. In addition to the original powers, the palace eunuchs were also given the right to be promoted based on their merits. Similarly, there was a third-grade eunuch in charge of the seal, and other positions were also reorganized. Liu Shimin Serve as the palm eunuch."

"The Internal Finance Office was then established, with Yang Chengxiu, the internal money eunuch, serving as the palm eunuch to manage the internal money, collections, and treasury."

"The Royal Horse Supervisor was renamed Dianchafu, and a member of the eunuch was appointed to supervise the East Factory, to monitor evil externally, and to supervise each government internally. Wei Zhongxian was appointed as the eunuch."

"The four of you, complete the reorganization of the four palaces as soon as possible and don't let the palace be in chaos. Do you understand?"

"This slave accepts the order and thanks you."

After hearing the emperor's words, the four people named quickly said.

"Oh, right."

Zhu Youxiao said, as if he suddenly remembered.

"I will allocate another 50 taels of silver from the internal funds. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will build another Yanggong Village, organize a cemetery nearby, and centrally support the eunuchs in the palace who are over 65 years old. They used to contribute to the royal family. I will ensure that The royal family can support them until they die. The four of you will jointly supervise this matter, and then choose someone who the elders trust to manage it. They will ensure their food and clothing and cannot allow others to bully them."

"My slave, thank you for your great kindness."

Upon hearing that the emperor was going to build a merit-raising manor for them, the gathered eunuchs, especially those who were old and frail, quickly shouted thanks.

Why are eunuchs greedy for money?

It’s not that there is no protection when you get old.

In order to solve this problem, these eunuchs could only do two things.

[-]. Be greedy for money and ensure that at least you will not die of poverty.

Second, take in your godson, at least someone will remember you after you die, and you can burn some paper money during the holidays.

After throwing the notes and organizational chart he wrote in Nanhaizi to the four people, Zhu Youxiao returned to Qianqing Palace.

Administration, supervision, finance, and internal affairs are divided into four areas.

It can not only prevent one family from becoming dominant, but also restrain each other, ensuring their control over the palace to the greatest extent.

Moreover, this is only the first step. In Zhu Youxiao's follow-up plan, production institutions and service institutions will also be separated.

That is to separate the primary, secondary and tertiary industries.Only in this way can we ensure smooth operation and integrity to the greatest extent and prevent repeated occurrences of corruption problems.

After approving memorials in Nuan Pavilion for a while, Zhu Youxiao suddenly noticed someone walking in with dishes.

"My servant heard that the emperor didn't eat enough for lunch, so she specially made this old lady's stew for the emperor to try."

As Ke Baba said, he placed the basin in his hand on the Long Book Table, took the small bowl from the hand of the little eunuch behind him, and filled a bowl for Zhu Youxiao.

"Your Majesty, please try it."

Looking at the woman serving him rice in front of him, Zhu Youxiao's mind changed slightly.

Inheriting the memory of the original owner, he knew that Ke Baba had a special place in Zhu Youxiao's heart.

Wei Zhongxian and Hakka should be confidants of Tianqi, his mother, Wang Cairen.

Wei Zhongxian, or Li Jinzhong, was the official official of Wang Cairen and was in charge of food.

For this reason, Wang Cairen also deliberately renamed Wei Zhongxian, so he changed his name to Wei Jinzhong. This happened before the 47th year of Wanli (because Wang Cairen died this year).

As for Hakka, she is Zhu Youxiao's nanny.

When the Hakka family entered the palace, it was the time when the dispute over the country's foundation was raging. The birth of Zhu Youxiao, the emperor's eldest grandson, gave Zhu Changluo an advantage in the fight for the country's foundation.

Since King Fu was born, Wanli and Taichang, father and son, cannot be said to be a loving father and a filial son, but they also hate each other.

I don't know if it's a genetic factor, but Taichang doesn't like Zhu Youxiao, his eldest son who has helped him a lot.

That is, the Hakka family made the young Zhu Youxiao feel a touch of warmth in this cold palace.

"How many years have you been in the palace?"

Zhu Youxiao asked abruptly without going to take a bowl to eat.

"Back to your Majesty, this slave has been in the palace for 15 years."

"In 15 years, almost 16 years, I have also ascended the throne and become the emperor."

After a long silence, Zhu Youxiao turned around and said.

"You are no longer suitable to stay in the palace. Let Wei Zhongxian take you back to your hometown."

"Give her 500 taels of silver and send a few eunuchs to serve her."

As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, indicating that the person should be taken out.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

When he heard that Zhu Youxiao was sending him back to the countryside, Ke Baba suddenly turned pale and knelt on the ground.

What was she doing back in the country?
The wife of the second landlord, a weak woman with no power, who would take him seriously?

And who is she in the palace, the emperor's wet nurse, the eunuch's rival in the East Factory, how many women in the world can compare with her?
Zhu Youxiao's heart sank as he looked at Ke Baba being dragged out with an expressionless expression.

Tianqi in history is really a miserable man.

Three sons and three daughters, none survived.

In the end, in desperation, knowing that his health was exhausted, he could only reach a consensus with the foreign court to marry his younger brother, the fifth elder, Zhu Youjian, on the scale of the emperor's marriage. He was appointed as his heir.

Some people say that Tianqi’s fate is bad.

Some people say that the imperial doctor killed him.

Some people also say that it was the Hakka family who wanted to become Wan Guifei and killed her.

But speaking of a thousand, truth of a thousand, since the apocalypse in history left the Hakka family in the palace, then your most important responsibility is to take good care of the prince and princess.

If something happens to the little master, Hakka will be the first to die!
"Take this dish out and pour it."

Looking at the dishes on the table again, Zhu Youxiao said coldly.
