Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 173 Harmony
The construction of the imperial city cannot be sloppy, and the capital will be moved soon, so Zhu Xiongying naturally needs to pay attention to these.If the capital is moved, the imperial city will be a half-baked one, unable to guarantee the daily life of the Tian family, unable to guarantee the operation of daily work, then there will be no way to deal with business.

Especially the Imperial City of Beiping, it seems that Zhu Xiongying was responsible for the construction.Even if something goes wrong at that time, no one will open their eyes to hold Zhu Xiongying accountable.But such a thing can be avoided naturally.

Yan Zhenzhi reported some things in the imperial city carefully, and Zhu Xiongying was basically quite satisfied.

"We should also pay attention to the matter of ordnance. I have always wanted skilled craftsmen, thinking that Ming Dynasty has more and stronger ordnance." Zhu Xiongying said again with a serious expression, "It is natural for those old craftsmen to lead apprentices and teach skills. Good thing. But you have to spend more time, write it down, and think about it."

Yan Zhenzhi naturally nodded hurriedly, in fact, he did exactly that.The Ministry of Industry can definitely be said to be the heart of the emperor's grandson.Yan Zhenzhi's official career is so smooth, isn't it because he is easily appreciated by the emperor's grandson in the Ministry of Industry!

For things like lighting up the technology tree, Zhu Xiongying knew that he needed to be more systematic and lay a solid foundation.

Although Zhu Xiongying also understands that, to be honest, it does not mean that the Chinese dynasties did not learn some science and technology at all.It's just that to some extent, they are not so rigorous, and in many cases there will be serious sectarian views, and some even cherish themselves.

There have been many skills in the past dynasties, and they have been lost due to various reasons. Such skills are rarely recorded in writing and rarely passed down.Guard and hide, absolutely not let 'outsiders' know, father to son, teacher to apprentice.

Moreover, in ancient China, science did develop to a certain extent, but compared with the emphasis on liberal arts, science was not enough.

This is what Zhu Xiongying is trying to do now, trying to change some atmosphere.His Institute of Engineering is an obvious signal, which is also to better pass on some skills, and also to systematically study and train some disciples.

What is indispensable is more research, gathering a large number of skilled craftsmen, as well as professors and teachings, to tackle key problems and research some new technologies with the advancement of a lot of manpower and financial resources.

After carefully listening to some of Yan Zhenzhi's reports, Zhu Xiongying felt quite satisfied.Some things don't happen overnight, and things like lighting up the technology tree will take some time.Sometimes, I really can only pray for the emergence of some geniuses, so that it is possible to greatly promote the progress of some technologies.

Yu Xin from the household department was also notified, and immediately asked his subordinates to fetch some information.This is a strict official who is very sensitive to numbers.This should be even more so now, so as to be able to give correct answers when His Royal Highness asked questions.

After walking around the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Xiongying naturally came to the Ministry of Households. He still has a lot of things to do.

It was time to drink tea again, and Zhu Xiongying, who had just tasted it, asked, "My Ming Dynasty now has two capitals and thirteen chief secretaries, 140 prefectures, 193 prefectures, and 1140 counties. 499 Wei, 364 Suo, that's the number, right?"

This is also a characteristic of the Ming Dynasty. The province was changed to Chengxuan Zhengshisi. The Chengxuan Zhengshisi set up a prefecture and Zhili prefecture. There were counties and subordinate prefectures under the prefecture. The general pattern of the coexistence of the four-level county system and the three-level system of provinces, prefectures and counties.

There are three divisions in charge of the commanding division of the capital, the division of the political division, and the division of the procuratorial division, which are in charge of the military and judicial power of each province.

The Department of Political Affairs and Envoys of Chengxuan is in charge of the civil affairs of a province and has direct contact with the six central ministries.Each province has a commanding division, which is in charge of the military household guards in a province and the Fanhan armies, and obeys the orders of the Ministry of War and the Dudufu of the Five Armies.In addition, there is also the Judiciary, which is responsible for supervising the judiciary, and is in charge of the judicial power under the orders of the Ministry of Punishment.

Yu Xin nodded immediately, and said to Zhu Xiongying, "Return to Your Highness, that's it."

Zhu Xiongying nodded, quite satisfied, "The nursing home is only at the prefectural level, which is not enough. I think it should be extended to all states and counties, and it is best to have a nursing home in every county."

Yu Xin's eyes lit up, and the household officials beside him also became excited immediately.This is a benevolent government, and this is the best proof that the prince of the Ming Dynasty values ​​the common people!
Although some people think that this matter may increase the burden, this is not something that the Ministry of Household Affairs can handle well.But no matter what, this matter is indeed a benevolent government, and this matter is worth looking forward to by many officials.

"Take out a charter and send it up as soon as possible." Zhu Xiongying said to Yu Xin, "You are in charge of this matter, and each department will act as an assistant. It is not necessary to determine the number of nursing homes. It depends on the population of each state and county. , Liji Nursing Home."

Obviously, a household department cannot fully do this job well, and it also needs the help and sorting out of other departments. Only by working together can we get a better understanding.

The old and the old and the old, the young and the young and the young, Zhu Xiongying is serious about this matter. He hopes that he can do these things so that the people of Li can live better.

The Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies were not idle either. Zhu Xiongying wanted to come with some numbers and lists. Naturally, these were also lists of soldiers who died in the king's affairs.The indispensable thing for Zhu Xiongying is naturally to be verified by others.

Not only to verify military achievements, but also to verify some family conditions and so on.Since he wanted to take care of the orphans of Yulin, and wanted to give these orphans and widows the capital to settle down, Zhu Xiongying of course needed to be more careful. He couldn't let the heroes bleed and cry, and couldn't let them die in battle without peace.

This is also what the imperial court should do, it is an explanation to the war dead, and it is also done for the living, so that they can see Daming's attitude.

Some things quickly spread. After hearing that His Royal Highness was planning to vigorously promote the Jiyangyuan, it spread instantly among the ruling and opposition parties.This matter, of course, has also aroused heated discussions.

Zhu Xiongying didn't feel surprised at all, such a situation couldn't be more normal.Some people think this is a benevolent government, while others think that such a thing will cause a huge burden on the court.

No way, Zhu Xiongying is already weakening the treatment of some clans.The clansmen can still eat well, dress well, and they can still live in luxury.It's just that part of the treatment originally given to them is used to take care of vulnerable groups.

Some things should be done. You can't just say that it will burden the court and stop doing it, and you can't say that there is some pressure and then shrink back.

There is indeed no rush for this matter, Zhu Xiongying still needs to wait.It is necessary to wait until some detailed figures appear before making a decision. At that time, it is indispensable to bring these matters to the court for discussion.

This matter is not a small matter, mainly because it is a major event that benefits the country and the people if it is done well.However, good policies may also be misinterpreted by some people with ulterior motives, which may cause these policies to fail to achieve certain results, which is also very possible.

Since this is the case, it is necessary to take some preventive measures, and it is necessary to avoid some annoying things as much as possible.

The busy Zhu Xiongying continues to deal with some things, which is his main life.Now it seems that Ming's national strength is booming, and many things are in everyone's expectations. This is a prosperous and powerful unified dynasty.

As for the occasional disharmony, there are indeed some disharmonious situations. For example, there are floods, droughts, or other things that are reported. It is also a normal thing.

In fact, there is no need to worry too much about these things. The main thing is that when such things happen, it is good to go to disaster relief and rescue step by step. All dynasties and dynasties are familiar with such things, and everyone can immediately come up with the regulations.

Zhu Xiongying, who was very patient, continued to wait. He seemed to be busy with such tedious government affairs now, and basically did not make any big moves.

However, this can be regarded as the calm before the storm, and there will be many things that will happen next, and a series of things will unfold next.By that time, Zhu Xiongying obviously couldn't be so leisurely.

Speaking of it, it looks busy, but Zhu Xiongying can be regarded as "sneaking in" and then accepting theft, which also makes many people look forward to it.If the emperor's grandson ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely continue to enrich the harem.

Zhu Xiongying doesn't need to worry too much about the harem.There is no such thing as jealousy in the harem, Xu Miaoqing's status is special and detached, unless it is some stupid and sweet person who dares to challenge Xu Miaoqing's status.

As for Zhu Xiongying himself, now counted as five wives and concubines.But there is nothing to care about, the main reason is that his status is more special, and he doesn't need to think about coaxing women, which is completely unnecessary for him.

A harmonious environment, this is the general environment now, and this is a state that makes Zhu Xiongying feel more proud and satisfied.

"Ying'er, let's take a look, and the matter of moving the capital should be finalized." Lao Zhu thumped his back and said to Zhu Xiongying, "We originally wanted to take all the civil and military officials to Peiping, but now our health is not as good as before. Well, you should bring people to move the capital."

Looking at the grey-haired old Zhu, Zhu Xiongying said, "Or my grandson will stay here and move the capital after my grandson ascends the throne."

Old Zhu's face was serious, and he said unhappily, "You're talking nonsense! You can't let yourself be fooled by the important affairs of the country! Let's watch over here and get this matter done as soon as possible, so that we can feel at ease!"

Zhu Xiongying nodded numbly. Now that old Zhu is very old, he is no longer the heroic and domineering Emperor Zhu in Zhu Xiongying's impression.In other words, today's Lao Zhu is already a lion in his twilight years, and he rarely shows his appearance in his heyday.

But everyone knows, don't underestimate such an old Zhu, such an old Zhu is even more dangerous, and such an old Zhu still firmly controls the court!
