Daming: I help my wife be the empress

When everyone was thinking about the Chief Secretary of Chongqing, Ma Shiying got up and said, "I would like to report to the supervisor, if the Ministry of Finance only tries to implement the new policy in Nanzhili and Chongqing for the time being, the new duties of the Ministry of Households may only be carried out in these two places first." try it out.

Therefore, in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Sichuan, Huguang, and Shaanxi, officials still need to be stationed in the Ministry of Household Cleaning Department to order them to collect taxes as usual. "

This is to check and fill in the gaps in the New Deal.

Auntie Zhu nodded upon hearing this, "It should be so."

Then, Zhu Yuxi discussed with the cabinet ministers and the officials of the two ministries the specific matters of the Ministry of Finance's new business tax policy.

On the contrary, these details took more time. By the time everything was roughly settled, it was already early noon.

When the meeting was about to end, Zhu Wei said again: "There is another matter today, and I need to ask all the cabinet ministers to discuss it. Since the administration of this palace, I feel that the titles of the chief ministers are quite inconvenient and untrue. It is better to use the word 'Province' in Yuan Dynasty. What do you guys think?"

All the cabinet ministers were taken aback when they heard this, and then agreed one after another.

The smooth name change is not only related to Aimee Zhu's high prestige, but also has historical reasons.

The Ming Dynasty initially replaced the provincial system of the Yuan Dynasty with the Chengxuan Zhengshisi system, because the system implemented at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty already had a rudimentary form of separation of the four powers of the military, government, procuratorate, and law.

Among them, the chief envoy is in charge of government affairs, the procuratorate is in charge of criminal names, and the imperial envoy is in charge of supervision. Only the guard army is in charge of military affairs and has considerable independent power in military, political and legal aspects.

As for the governor in charge of a province's military and political power, it was an official position that was gradually formed later, and it was not officially established as a second-rank official in the borderlands until the Jiajing period.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the governor was in charge of at least three aspects of military, political and legal power in a province. In fact, it was not much different from the feudal officials in charge of a province in the Yuan Dynasty.

Auntie Zhu now proposes to change the name of "Chengxuan Zhengshisi" to "Province", but it is worthy of the name.

Of course, the cabinet ministers also knew that as Zhu Yuxi deepened the reform of various departments of the imperial court, the new policy gradually involved the whole country, and the governor's power would eventually be re-compressed to the same scope as the "political envoy" in the early Ming Dynasty.

At that time, if the local governor wants to object, I'm afraid he won't dare...

Because Auntie Zhu did not specify when Zheng Sen would be hired, he delayed entering the Forbidden City until the next afternoon and found the secretariat in the back hall of the Hall of Martial Arts.

After entering, he saw some women inside, thought he had gone to the wrong place, so he was about to leave.

Outside, he asked the guarding guards again about the situation, and when he learned that this was indeed the secretariat, Zheng Sen bit the bullet and went in.

I saw that there were ten women busy inside.

Or sorting out memorials, documents, or copying something.There are four other people occupying a table each, and there is a strange box on the table, dialing Didi, which is extremely strange.

This made Zheng Sen even more nervous.

Just as he was thinking about how to speak, a lady with an elegant temperament and a beautiful face stood up and asked, "Your Excellency is Zheng Sen, the newly appointed secretary of the State Council?"

"Exactly." Zheng Sen answered with cupped hands.

The female officer smiled back, "I'm Secretary Liu Shuying."

"Secretary Liu is polite."

"The four people on the west wall are the old people who followed the prison from the Shu Palace. They are now the maids of telecommunications. They are not from our secretariat. They are just working with us temporarily." Liu Shuying took the initiative to introduce Zheng Sen.

As for modern vocabulary like "office", of course I learned it from Aimee Zhu.

The four telegraph operators at the Telegraph Office got up and saluted Zheng Sen, and Zheng Sen quickly returned the salute.

"The five people with me on the east side are all clerks of the secretariat, and they are in charge of things like transcription, communication, and financial calculation on a daily basis."

Wei Yao and four other court ladies recently selected from the Nanjing palace also saluted Zheng Sen together.

Zheng Sen returned the gift again.

Liu Shuying added: "At present, you and I are mainly responsible for sorting out and classifying some memorials and documents that need to be read by the supervisory state, and pasting items with key points, so that the supervisory state can consult and process them.

In addition, it is to handle some things that the supervisory state has explained, mostly clerical matters.

By the way, tables and chairs have been arranged for Secretary Zheng. As for the business, you can gradually get familiar with it. "

Zheng Sen looked at a book case with a cabinet in the southeast corner, and saw that there was at least ten steps away from the northeast corner where Liu Shuying and other women were.

Not long after he sat down, he heard a strange rustling sound on Liu Shuying's desk.

Immediately, a man said: "The communication team of the Imperial Guard at the Jiangbian Wharf has something to report to the Secretariat, please connect."

When these words were heard for the second time, Liu Shuying picked up a palm-sized black box and said, "This is the Secretariat. I am Secretary Liu Shuying. Please tell me if you have anything to say."

"I am Lin Zhao, the leader of the resident communication team. The fleet from Sichuan arrived at the riverside wharf at the beginning of the Wei Dynasty. The accompanying personnel have disembarked and walked into the city, and the cargo on board is being transported. The transmission is complete."

Liu Shuying said: "The secretariat has recorded this matter and will report it to the supervisor. It's over."

After speaking, Liu Shuying carefully put the black box into an open box.

Seeing Zheng Sen looking over here, Liu Shuying smiled and said, "I just used a walkie-talkie, which can communicate with other related walkie-talkies within tens of miles.

Our secretariat also has the duty to collect non-urgent information from all parties and report it to Jian Guo, so Jian Guo handed over one of the walkie-talkies to me. "

Zheng Sen was still shocked after hearing this.

Although he had heard before that Princess Jianguo had a magic weapon called a walkie-talkie, but it was only a rumor and a joke.

Now that I saw the real walkie-talkie, I realized that although the rumors were exaggerated, they were not groundless.

From this, he felt even more that the Zheng family shouldn't have second thoughts about Daming and Aimee Zhu, because Aimee Zhu's supernatural powers are beyond resistance to ordinary forces.

If the Zheng family became Zhu Yuxi's enemies, they might not have a way out even if they fled to the sea.

'Yesterday, the fourth uncle's words about his loyalty to the court seemed a little insincere. If he and his father really had two hearts, then the Zheng family would be over.No, I have to tell them about the magic of Jian Guo as soon as possible, so that they don't take risks. '

Thinking this way in his heart, Zheng Sen also came back to his senses, but couldn't help asking: "Since there is something wrong, why didn't Secretary Liu report it to Jian Guo?"

Liu Shuying smiled and said: "This is not an urgent matter, Jian Guo is taking a nap, so don't bother me."

If there is something really urgent outside that needs to be communicated to Aimee Zhu, it is the walkie-talkie in charge of the general, chief officer Linglong and Liu Zhu, not the one in the secretariat.

There is another point that Liu Shuying didn’t explain—Zhu Yu didn’t take a nap in the Hall of Martial Arts, but at the home of the “later” son-in-law...
Knowing that officials, military generals, craftsmen and other personnel transferred from Sichuan had arrived, Zhu Wei first summoned Long Wenguang, Liu Linchang, and Wang Yingxiong in the afternoon.

"The ministers and others have a look at Jian Guo Qiantui!"

"Flat body."

"Thank you Jianguo!"

"Is the three of you safe and sound on the way to Sichuan with the convoy?" Aimee Zhu asked with a smile.

Long Wenguang said: "Back to the supervisor, there are thousands of ships in the fleet, and the military flags are flying. Our Ming army is extremely powerful now. Even if there are sporadic water thieves and bandits in various river sections, we dare not provoke them, so the journey is safe and sound. thing."

Aunt Zhu nodded slightly, and said again: "It stands to reason that the three of you have been exhausted all the way, so you shouldn't have been summoned so quickly.

It's just that the three of them are either Ministers of the Ministry of Officials, Ministers of the Ministry of Industry, or Directors of the Court of Justice, all of whom are capable of assisting the department in charge of the palace, so they hurriedly summoned them to explain important matters. "

The three of them were quite happy to hear that Auntie Zhu attached so much importance to it, feeling flattered.

Especially Wang Yingxiong, he had been troubled by not being able to go east with Aimee Zhu before, thinking that Aimee Zhu even asked him to be a scholar of the Imperial Academy to write an imperial decree, and he probably had to spend the rest of his life in this vacant post.

Unexpectedly, the joy came from heaven, and Aunt Zhu actually transferred him to Nanjing to take up the post of director of the Court of Justice!
Although he didn't know the specific responsibilities of the Court of Justice, he also knew that it was the highest official of a department of the imperial court.

Most of the others who were transferred from the governor of one place to the imperial court were just servants, that is, the second in command of the department.

But he is directly the leader of any department, which is equivalent to being promoted two levels in a row!

What made him most happy was that this incident showed that he was finally regarded as a direct descendant by Aimee Zhu!
