Daming heir

In the cabinet office, Bai Yuxiu let out a long sigh.

"I have to admit, we are now the ones wiping our butts."

"Tell me, why can't His Highness the King of Qin just behead you?"

Wang Xinling couldn't answer such a question.

Bai Yuxiu sighed again, stood up and found an archive document packed in a box from the bookshelf nearby.

He searched inside for a long time before picking out the few he needed and putting them on the table.

Wang Xinling just glanced at it and saw that the corners of the covers of these documents were marked with the word "Top Secret" in red ink.

Several documents have different titles.

"Archives of Preparatory Officials for Examination of Ministries and Taoism in the Ming Dynasty"

"Archives of Preparatory Officials for Assessment of Various Prefectures and Departments of the Ming Dynasty"

"Archives of Preparatory Officials for Examination of Counties in the Ming Dynasty"

This seems to be something important.

Wang Xinling closed his eyes and lowered his head.

Bai Yuxiu patted these archives and said softly: "Originally, these things have not been completely completed, and they are just archived as the information of an official who has passed the assessment. According to the plan, all civil and military officials in the imperial court will be assessed. , record and archive for later use.

But right now, it’s time to use these things in advance. Those who should be promoted should be promoted to various government and official positions under direct control, and those who should be re-absorbed should be assessed more intensively. "

Wang Xinling still lowered his head.

After listening to Senior Bai's explanation, he became more aware of the importance of this file.

Perhaps, whoever will be in the imperial court in the future of the Ming Dynasty may already be in this archive.

Bai Yuxiu suddenly said: "Want to know if you are in here?"

Wang Xinling slowly raised his head, just in time to see Senior Bai's smiling eyes.

Bai Yuxiu explained: "Those who can be included in this archive can be vigorously used by the imperial court. Regardless of the current rank of official residence, any position is divided into three levels.

The lowest level can be in charge of county administration.

At the middle level, one can take charge of the government, or serve as an official in various ministries and yamen.

At the higher level, he can be the minister of various ministries, minister, Jiuqing, the chief officer of the three departments of various Taoism, or the governor of one party. "

Wang Xinling's eyes flashed with passion.

As an official in the court and a new leader in his studies, how could he not have high expectations for himself?

"Please let me know, senior."

Bai Yuxiu smiled: "This top-secret archive was originally ordered by Tai Sun to conduct the selection and assessment of the cabinet and the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Its purpose was to control the officials in the world so that the imperial court could select officials more calmly.

You are very good, you have not lost the face of our Xinxue, and now you have received an average rating. Maybe I can be more diligent in the future, be more steady and alert when doing politics, and maybe even be among the best. "

Above the middle level, that is the rank that can serve as the prefect of a prefecture or the middle-level officials of various ministries and departments of the imperial court.

Wang Xinling's heart couldn't help but jump.

He is now only a governor of the eighth rank of General Secretary Sizheng. If he goes by the evaluation in this archive.

As long as he continues step by step, he will eventually be able to reach the position of being consulted at the fifth rank of General Secretary Sizheng.

As a result, the left and right affairs of the fourth rank of the Zheng Dynasty or the right affairs of the Huang Dynasty were transferred. Once he was released from the capital, he would hold the official position of prefect.

The Ming Dynasty had 200 prefectures, 200 prefectures, and more than 1,200 counties.

There are 30,000 officials in the world, but there are less than 200 people who can become a government official.

And if the people on this list were to be appointed as prefects of a prefecture, they would definitely not go to bitter and cold places like Jiaozhi Road or Yingzhou Fourth Road. Not to mention the prefects of Southern Zhili, they would also have to be Huguang Road , Henan Road, Shandong Road, Zhejiang Road and other places.

While overjoyed, Wang Xinling also captured the details of Bai Yuxiu's words.

‘You can also be among the best’.

Wang Xinling raised his head and looked at Bai Yuxiu, who was looking down at three archives in front of him, and couldn't help but be surprised.

If you put it this way, although Senior Bai is only a doctor in the Selected Works Department of the Ministry of Personnel now, his future achievements will be as high as being an official in the Zhengyintang of the Six Books and the Three Departments of Dao!

This is still the worst.

If he goes one step further, it is impossible to say that he will join the cabinet as a supplement.

Bai Yuxiu had quietly raised her head at this time, looked at the junior student with surprise in her eyes, and smiled slightly.

"That will happen a long time ago. What we can see is that until Mr. Xie and Senior Gao step down, it is impossible for us people to join the cabinet again."

After Wang Xinling listened, he nodded silently.

This is inevitable.

Whether it is Mr. Xie or Senior Gao, both of them represent the status and recognition of Xinxue in the court.

Now Xinxue already has two seats in the cabinet, and it is impossible to continue to increase the number unless the number of cabinet members increases again.

But according to the current direction of the court, the cabinet will most likely maintain its current size.

Based on this calculation, even if Senior Bai can join the cabinet in the future, at least he will have to wait until Mr. Xie retires from the cabinet and Senior Senior Gao takes over Mr. Xie's position in the court and the cabinet, so that Xinxue can make a replacement.

Seeing that the young junior understood everything, Bai Yuxiu smiled and waved: "I'm probably going to stay in the cabinet today, so you can go back first. When this period of time is over and you have free time, let's have a drink together." ."

Wang Xinling stood up immediately and saluted Bai Yuxiu.

Before leaving, he felt a little sorry for Senior Bai.

It's no wonder that he can be ranked among the best, and it is due to this diligence.

There was a lot of commotion in Beijing because Zhu Xi went on a killing spree on Zhili Road.

Just because the prince was at the center, it didn't cause much trouble.

There are many people in the DPRK and China impeaching people, but they are done based on the stability of the country and the people's hearts, and it is not wrong.

After seeing the indifferent reaction of the imperial court, the governments in Zhili also understood that this was a cleanup that they could not resist.

The officialdom of Southern Zhili experienced a great shock. Countless officials were dismissed, thousands of officials were executed, and tens of thousands of families were implicated.

It was just that the power and interests were emptied, but they were quickly filled by the court with new people.

The old interests were broken, and after it became clear that they could not resist, a new local political system was quickly established.

this year.

Since the imperial court introduced the metric system for examinations, people have truly realized that there is no shortage of officials in the world.

Once the imperial court is forced into a hurry, it will now only be decentralized to the metric examination system where all candidates can participate.

And this kind of thing is nothing new.

When the Ming Dynasty was just founded, the world was in ruins and waiting for prosperity. It was the time for the court to recruit people, but the imperial examination had not yet been restored. Officials from the previous dynasty were abandoned one after another. Many officials in the court were scholars.

At that time, many senior officials in the six ministries and departments only had the title of scholar.

But this does not prevent the imperial court from employing people.

In the southwest, the situation has remained calm. The imperial court is gradually encroaching on the scope of power of the southwestern chieftains, using work to attract the southwestern natives, Miao people, etc. to come out of the mountains, and has achieved outstanding results.

With the start of construction of the Western Railway, the imperial court, in addition to meeting the expectations of the people along the Western Railway, has also begun to gather those who came from the deep mountains to the West from the southwest to participate in the construction of the Western Railway.

As soon as such a policy comes out.

The worries that the large-scale migration of the people in the southwest Tusi region might bring about financial pressure and the people's opposition to the migration were suddenly solved.

The people in the southwest Tusi area, who were already poor enough, saw that their fellow villagers who had begun to work for the imperial court began to earn a lot of money at home every day, how could they continue to stay in the mountains with peace of mind.

Making money is the most important thing at this time, regardless of whether you are going to the northwest, which you have never been to before.

For a time, the imperial court seemed to become more political and harmonious.

And on the distant ocean.

The magnificent ocean gave a huge visual impact to the first batch of officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty who came out of the coastal waters of the Central Plains.

However, when the huge waves like mountains each time used the annihilating power to tear the entire fleet apart and destroy it, the entire fleet only had the thought of reaching the other side of the ocean as soon as possible.

land.

It has become the unified expectation of the entire Ming Dynasty Royal Navy’s East China Sea Fleet’s East Crossing Squadron.

The sea has been relatively calm these days.

The huge steam warship is on the ground in such wind and waves.

From the top floor, you can overlook the entire fleet from the fleet command cabin.

The Marquis of Ming Dynasty, the Governor of the Royal Navy's East China Sea Fleet, and the Chief Officer of the East Crossing Squadron, Zhu Shou, were holding a regular meeting.

In front of him, in addition to the generals and deputies from each ship in the fleet, there were also chief officers sent by various departments of the imperial court, as well as chief officers from Rutai Hospital and Shanglinyuan Prison.

The meeting has been going on for a long time.

At this time, it was the turn of the people from Taiyuan Hospital to speak.

"Through our observation, the biggest problem encountered by naval officers and sailors during ocean voyages, in addition to the mental stress caused by being at sea for a long time, is some of the physical problems caused by the long-term lack of fresh food."

When I wake up every day, all I see is not only the endless sea water, but also the overwhelming waves from time to time. No matter who it is, I will admit that there is huge pressure in my heart, which leads to low military morale.

And fresh food has become something that everyone hopes for.

If it weren't for the strict military discipline of the Ming army, the people at Taiyuan Hospital can guarantee that if it were people from other places, big problems would have arisen long ago.

Zhu Shou frowned and nodded. This problem had already arisen in the fleet.

A few days ago, a fleet officer fell into the water.

No one could tell whether the officer or soldier slipped and fell into the water, or whether he took the initiative to dive because of the pressure in his heart.

As for the food problem, it is even more obvious.

As long as they eat dry food, the officers, soldiers and sailors feel like chewing dry wax.

Once one day, the fleet cooks a small amount of bean sprouts and sweet potato vine leaves, it will inevitably be robbed by everyone.

At this time, fresh food is far more popular than big fish and meat.

The people from Taiyuan Hospital continued: "Therefore, we suggest that after returning to Beijing this time, we need to communicate with the Longjiang Shipyard to increase the number of places on the ocean-going warships that can be used to plant bean sprouts and sweet potato vines. In addition, we hope that Shanglinyuan Supervisor can Cultivate more vegetables that are suitable for long-term repeated planting and can grow in a short time.”

In the cabin, the chief officers of the Ministry of Industry and Shanglinyuan Supervisor nodded and wrote down the Tai Hospital's proposal in the notebook in front of them.

These things must be kept properly and collected together when returning to Beijing and handed over to the court to prepare for whether the Ming Royal Navy can dominate the seas and oceans in the future.

Zhu Shou pondered for a moment and then said: "When we arrive at the destination of the New World this time, we need to start preparing to improve some problems.

For example, when it comes to food, the New World may have many vegetables that are not found in the Central Plains, and they can be grown on ships.

After the fleet docked, the people from the Ministry of Industry not only had to start building cities and various things, but also took the time to make targeted improvements to the fleet's ships. "

This is still an errand for the Ministry of Works and the Supervisor of Shanglinyuan.

The chief officials of the two yamen who were present nodded one by one.

At this time, on the main mast at the bow of the ship directly opposite the cabin, a naval officer had already slid down the mast.

Not long after, he appeared outside the command cabin.

"General, we have found the place!"

Wang Wangbing's words immediately made everyone in the cabin stand up.

Zhu Shou immediately rushed out of the cabin and climbed to the observation deck at the top of the cabin.

On the observation deck, there is a large fixed telescope.

Zhu Shou grabbed the telescope with both hands, moved his steps, and slowly faced the left side of the fleet.

In the field of vision of the telescope, under the continuous coastline and mountain peaks, an obviously newly built city and a dock deep into the sea suddenly appeared in Zhu Shou's eyes.

Even though the fleet had a precedent of ships running too close to the coast and sinking, it has been sailing thirty miles away from the coast since then.

But in the telescope, the Ming Dynasty Dragon Flag on the pier is so clear.

"He's one of ours!"

Zhu Shou left the telescope, clenched his fists and shouted loudly.

The people who originally followed him to the observation deck immediately cheered, and then the officers, soldiers and sailors on the entire flagship also began to cheer.

Finally, the ships of the entire fleet sounded their horns.

"The fleet was ten miles away from the pier, put down the clipper to explore the channel, and boarded the pier."

Zhu Shou began to issue instructions.

The entire fleet immediately turned around.

Everyone began to get busy. In this late autumn, they had been sailing for a long time, and at this moment they finally reached their destination after making sacrifices along the way.

Zhu Shou stayed on the observation deck. As the pier got closer and closer, he could already see more and more people on the pier without binoculars, coming out of the walled city behind and rushing over.

It only took a quarter of an hour for the news of the imperial fleet's appearance on the sea to reach the ears of Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng.

The wars on the western plains have gradually stopped recently. As winter is approaching, both the Ming Dynasty and the natives who surrendered, as well as the natives who are unwilling to surrender, have chosen to start actively preparing for the winter.

As soon as the news reached Zhu Yunwen's ears, he immediately took Sun Cheng and called everyone to rush to the dock.

"Welcome Master Wang!"

"Welcome Master Wang!"

"Sun Cheng, let everyone stop what they are doing and rush to the dock!"

"Tell the Yin Di'an people to let them all go to the dock, change into their old clothes, and start singing and dancing!"

"The New World welcomes Master Wang!"
