Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 875 Five Major Events
Seeing that it was really Aunt Zhu, all the ministers immediately bowed and pushed their hands to the top of their heads, bowing to heaven.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Auntie Zhu raised her hand with a smile, "Everyone is at peace."

"Thank you!"

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies shouted loudly again: "Sit down!"

A group of ministers of military affairs, cabinet ministers, and ministers (servants) carefully sat upright. Many people were obviously more nervous than when Auntie Zhu was in charge of the country.

Although Aimee Zhu can also cross the two worlds, in terms of prestige and oppressive power over the ministers, it is obviously not as good as Aimee Zhu who single-handedly brought Daming back from peril and governed it into the Ming Empire.

"Today's meeting, the first thing is to tell all the ministers that my affairs with the emperor have come to an end.

However, there are still some other matters that I need to assist the emperor to deal with, and they are also important matters related to our Ming Dynasty, so Kun Qing will be required to assist me in dealing with military affairs and government affairs on Daming's side for quite a while in the future. "

This was the decision Aimi Zhu made after discussing with Hao Guangming and Aimee Zhu last night.

Now that the black halo is disappearing little by little, it is destined that she and Aimee Zhu will lose the ability to cross the two realms one day.

Perhaps this time will be as long as ten years, eight years, or even longer, but it is never too early to make preparations from now on.

After careful consideration, she and Aimee Zhu decided to stay with Da Xia.As for Daming, the throne will eventually be passed on to her son Zhu Hechen.

Whether it's from personal considerations, or from the consideration of her son and the Ming Empire, she has no plans to die of old age as emperor on Daming's side.

For one thing, being an emperor is actually not an easy task. Even though the various departments and systems of the Ming Empire are quite complete now, the Military Affairs Council, the Cabinet, and the Secretariat can share a lot of work for her, but she wants to control such a large In the empire, there are still many affairs that need to be handled by the emperor every day.

Second, after working in a position for a long time, especially in a stable and worry-free environment, it is easy to feel slack.

Although she is still young now, she is still passionate about handling state affairs, and has not slackened much in the past ten years.But who can guarantee that she will still be able to maintain this state 20 years later, 30 years later, or even 50 years later?

Even if she can maintain a good state and use the technology of another world to live to be more than 100 years old, it will only make Daming stable for more than 100 years.

Because of this, her son may become the prince until his death, and may have a gap with her because of this - this is not what she wants to see.

Similarly, if she occupies the throne for such a long time, it may also make the Ming Empire unable to adapt to the transitional stage of the succession of the throne, and even cause chaos in the future.

Therefore, it is better to let the throne be passed on in an orderly manner.

Because only the orderly inheritance of the throne from generation to generation is the best way to ensure the long-term stability of the Ming Empire.

At the same time, she is more interested in starting a new business in Daxia.After all, the world on the other side is more colorful, but she has been limited by the distance of five feet before, and has not been able to experience it.

To sum up, it was decided to let Auntie Zhu continue to assist her in dealing with the affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

After hearing what Aimee Zhu said, all the ministers looked at each other, not knowing what to think for a moment.Because they don't know anything about the other side - even though all the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty were present, no one was sure whether the emperor's side was the real fairyland.

After being silent for nearly half a minute, Li Yan opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, how long will it take for the matter on the emperor's side to be dealt with?"

Aunt Zhu said: "It's hard to say, but it will take at least five years."

At least five years?

Hearing this, many people's minds immediately became active.

In five years, the prince has also grown into a teenager, and in a few years he will become an adult.In this way, there will be no situation where Princess Kunqing will supervise the country for a long time.

Although the ministers don't know whether the emperor's side is really a fairyland.But she understands that as long as Auntie Zhu is around, no one in the Ming Empire can compete with her.

The only one who is somewhat possible is Aimee Zhu, because Aimee Zhu also has the ability to cross two worlds.

That's why the ministers were a little worried about Auntie Zhu's long-term supervision of the country.

If the prince supervises the country in the future, they will not worry about it.

Thinking back to when Cheng Zu conquered Mobei several times, wasn't it always the prince who supervised the country and managed the huge Ming Dynasty well.

Aimee Zhu told this matter not for the officials to discuss, but just to inform.

So, after a while, she said: "The second thing is to expand overseas - I decided to set up a South American capital, an East African capital, and a South African capital in addition to the Yingzhou capital and the North American capital.

That is to say, in the next ten years, besides developing North America and South America, my Ming Dynasty also needs to develop Africa, especially South Africa. "

The ministers were not surprised by this.

Now the Ming Dynasty Western Navy has dominated the Indian Ocean, and its deterrence and influence are extending to the Atlantic Ocean.Therefore, next Ming Dynasty will either take action on the Indian subcontinent, or take action on Africa.

Looking at it now, Aimee Zhu obviously chose Africa instead of the Indian subcontinent.

But this does not mean that Daming will not touch India.

In fact, Ming is now exerting influence on the Mughal Empire and other small countries in the Indian subcontinent from the east, north and south.

Today, all parts of India are filled with goods from Ming Dynasty, ranging from luxury goods that only princes and nobles can afford, down to the cloth and salt needed for ordinary people’s daily life, most of them come from Ming Dynasty.

It even had a certain impact on Indian language habits.

For example, the Indian people like to add the word "Ming" in front of many items, such as Ming cloth, Ming salt, Ming nails, Ming powder, Ming sugar, and so on.

Moreover, all products with the word "Ming" seem to have become more advanced and are sought after by Indians.For this reason, some shrewd Indian businessmen even deliberately add the word "Ming" to the local finished product, or directly choose a Chinese name to make the product easier to sell.

At the same time, Daming's knowledge and questions are also sought after by Indians.

Some foresighted Indian princes and nobles all wanted to send their children to study in Daming.It's a pity that Daming didn't let everyone in. If these people want to send people to study, they often need to pay a huge price, and they can't get into a good school when they come, and there are very few people who can really learn useful knowledge.

And among these people who really acquired useful knowledge, quite a few fell in love with Daming deeply, and they didn't want to go back to India at all, and settled and lived in Daming directly.

These important ministers who are in the center of the Ming Empire are all very knowledgeable. After learning this information, they know that India is already in the pocket of the Ming Empire, so there is no need to worry.

On the contrary, if India is taken directly, it will be very troublesome to govern. It is better to let the princes and nobles of India take care of Daming for Daming like now.

When Daming's influence on India becomes deeper and deeper, there will naturally be a day when everything will come to fruition.

"The third thing is that I plan to send a large-scale mission, escorted by a fleet from the Western Navy and Nanyang Navy, to the Western Ocean to visit European countries.

The first is to establish diplomatic relations with European countries; the second is to demonstrate the prestige of our Ming Dynasty, so that this generation will not be overconfident to compete with our Ming Dynasty overseas. "

Although it is easy for Ming Dynasty to attack the overseas colonial forces of Western countries, it still costs money.

As soon as the cannon rang, the gold was ten thousand taels.

If you can scare the Western colonists out with just a few words, without having to abolish every single soldier of Ming Dynasty, one cannon and one shell, it will naturally be the best.

In Hao Guangming's history, there was a period of time when Dai Qing used the Western powers as his masters, and he could do whatever he asked him to do?The Ming Empire is just following the example.

"The fourth thing is to completely abolish the imperial examination system and implement a school education system. As a result, all provinces need to add universities, high schools, junior high schools, and primary schools. In addition, the three-year compulsory education system is changed to a five-year compulsory education system."

After hearing this, the expressions of all the ministers were finally moved, but that was all.

It is now the 17th year of Zhaowu, and it has been nearly 15 years since the Ming Dynasty gradually replaced the imperial examination system with the school system in the second year of Zhaowu.

Nowadays, children and young people in Ming Dynasty all regard going to school as the right way, and there are very few people who take the imperial examination.

Therefore, the complete abolition of the imperial examination system is actually a matter of course.

As for the five-year compulsory education system, it should be justified.

As early as the seventh year of Zhaowu, the primary school in Daming changed from a three-year system to a five-year system.Later, because of insufficient financial resources, the three-year compulsory education system has not been moved.

Today, Daming has acquired a large amount of wealth from overseas, and the accumulated wealth in the treasury has exceeded 30 billion yuan, and at least [-] billion yuan is entered into the account every year.

With so much money, even if the Ming Empire has a very vast territory (33 provinces), it is no problem to implement the five-year compulsory education system.

"The fifth thing is the restructuring of the army. Change 'wu, shi, brigade, post, general, battalion, town' to 'wu, even, brigade, post, battalion, regiment, division'.

In addition, the Imperial Forest Army, Imperial Guard Army, Frontier Guard Army, and Marine Battalion will replace and use rear-loading rifles in batches.

Therefore, the number of staff and positions at all levels in the military also needs to be changed to a certain extent, and the specific changes will be decided by the Department of Military Affairs. "
