I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 127
Hangzhou City.

The temporary office of the Ming Dynasty (governor's Yamen).

Zhu Yijiong in the royal study room was yawning with a tired face. He looked at the pile of official documents in front of him, but there were still many official documents, and he couldn't help but feel tired.

The army that moved the capital from Quanzhou arrived in Hangzhou three days ago. Not to mention the Arms Bureau and the Privy Council, they were still busy rebuilding production lines and recruiting troops. However, the six cabinet departments headed by Wang Li had quickly entered work.

The memorials in front of me were accumulated in Quanzhou after Zhu Yijiong's personal expedition. Some were not approved, and some were approved by the cabinet. However, according to the rules set by Zhu Yijiong, even if they were approved, the stubs had to be left for him to review.

It seems unnecessary and troublesome, but it is a necessary process, otherwise he, the supervisor, will risk being sidelined. Even the memorials handled by the Secretariat must be read by him in person before he can approve them.

There is no other way. The rules I set have to be approved even if I work hard.

Zhu Yijiong yawned again and then started the day's work.

First, I found the memorials from the Privy Council and the Ordnance Bureau. There was nothing much to say. There was nothing to write about in these two departments, and I had just arrived in Hangzhou. They just stated that work was being carried out as soon as possible. Zhu Chengxun actually wrote draft plan.

In response, Zhu Yijiong responded as usual: "I know!"

After thinking for a while, he added: "As soon as possible."

The few matters that have been approved by the Ordnance Bureau and the Privy Council are followed by the memorials of the Six Cabinet Departments and subordinate officials.

Although there were many reports from the subordinate officials, most of them were trivial matters. They were said to be memorials, but they were more like daily work reports. There were also many people among them who, whether out of habit or to please, specifically greeted Supervisor Zhu at the end. country.

Real regards.

Zhu Yijiong could only patiently reply one by one: "I understand! I am very good!"

After approving most of the nonsense and miscellaneous things, it was finally time to get serious, but it was Cheng Huanming, the Minister of Rites, who made a new move. It was not the backlog in Quanzhou before, no, it could be considered a backlog.

Because this memorial asked for instructions on two things in total, one was about the sacrifices in the Ancestral Temple and the new system of dragon robes, and the other was about the specifications of the imperial examination regulations.

It seems that he said nothing, but he said everything.

Sacrifice at the Imperial Ancestral Temple is not a special day at the moment, and there is nothing major to talk about. It is just that the capital has been moved to Hangzhou, and it is still a temporary thing. Why sacrifice at the Imperial Ancestral Temple?

Moreover, Zhu Yijiong is not the emperor, so he only needs to keep one of the dragon robes for the sole purpose of offering sacrifices. This new dragon robe is also divided into seasons, court clothes, regular clothes, etc., which is obviously the intention of a drunkard.

However, Wang Li had been a pavilion boss for several months, and he had learned wisely and knew to send his subordinates to test him first.

The same applies to the imperial examination regulations. It is nothing more than a way to ask for instructions on the imperial examination. The Ministry of Rites is responsible for the imperial examination, so it is not out of the ordinary to ask, and it can also serve as a cover, so that it is not too naked.

"Cheng Huanming... the name is quite auspicious." Zhu Yijiong smiled and immediately replied: "Since I am not the emperor, the new dragon robe may be suspected of exceeding the standard, so we should discuss it later. The imperial examination is also a major event in the court, so we should discuss it later." Let’s discuss it.”

One will be discussed later, and the other will be discussed later.

The former vaguely refused again, but did not give up. The latter still had room for negotiation and could set the charter in advance.

It was just an imperial examination, and Zhu Yijiong didn't want to rush it. As mentioned before, he was not an emperor. If he held the imperial examination as a supervisor, it would be a bit nondescript.

Furthermore, the Ming Dynasty seems to be powerful now, but its territory is still too small compared to the Qing Dynasty. Without the blessing of Nanjing, if the imperial examination is really opened, what will happen if no one comes?

After all, the actual governance model of the Ming Dynasty is still somewhat similar to that of a military government. Even Fujian Taiwan, where the rule is becoming increasingly stable, is first controlled by the military, and then supplemented by civilian rule. Under the civilian rule, there is also support from the military, and the new army supports it.

After approving the memorial from the Ministry of Rites, Zhu Yijiong continued to read the memorials from other ministries. The Ministry of Works had nothing to say, so it took over the repair project of the Hangzhou city wall as soon as it came. Now Li Bexun, Minister of the Ministry of Works, is working as a contractor in Hangzhou, so the memorials There are also reports on the progress of the project.

Zhu Yijiong replied: "I know!"

The Ministry of Punishment reported that the number of prisoners had increased and it was intensifying its efforts in trying cases. It also gave the Ministry of Household Affairs some eye candy, saying that the Ministry of Household Affairs' methods (New Deal Reform) were a bit excessive.

Zhu Yijiong: "I know, you should abide by your duties and don't talk about other departments' affairs!"

The "performance appraisal" of officials reported by the Ministry of Personnel had no substantial content, and Chen Ji, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, personally went out to complain about poverty.

In this regard, Zhu Yijiong could only criticize "I know!" and then pretended not to know anything, especially the Ministry of Husband.

It's the Ministry of War's turn...

"There are frequent armed fights between Zhangquan and Quanzhou?" Zhu Yijiong raised his eyebrows. Although this matter is not a trivial matter, it should be handled by the local officials.

Why do you have to play it again alone?
The armed fighting between the two prefectures in Zhangquan can be regarded as an old legend that has been left behind since the Ming Dynasty. The original reason is no longer known. It has developed until now, and the fighting has almost become a daily activity in these two prefectures. Even the reason for the fighting They are also diverse, ranging from grain farming, which has a substantial impact on survival, to disputes between natives and foreigners, and even related to Mazu beliefs.The contradictions and conflicts were endless, and the Qing government had no way to deal with it. This problem was not resolved even until the Republic of China.

Part of the reason why Lin Jun was able to get up so easily before was also because of this. The people's customs are fierce in fighting (doesn't mean that they are strong in combat...).

Previously, the Ming army had been engaged in repeated foreign campaigns, so the conflicts between Zhang and Quan were not apparent. Now, the main areas of Fujian and Zhejiang are basically at peace.

This contradiction...

Opening the memorial and taking a closer look, Zhu Yijiong was shocked to realize that on the surface it was saying that due to the upcoming spring plowing, the two prefectures of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou frequently broke out in armed fights to compete for water sources, etc., and even some casualties occurred as a result.

Although local officials tried their best to stop it, it was always difficult for honest officials to resolve local affairs, and the fighting broke out one after another.

Of course, the focus is actually at the end.

"Expand the size of the troops!?" Zhu Yijiong only said one sentence, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

This is the cabinet, no, it should be said that these civilian officials want to take control of the military.

The new army was in the hands of the Privy Council and Zhu Jianguo. The civil servant group headed by Wang Li did not dare to think about it, but the Xiang soldiers were the cabinet's own property.

The only shortcomings are insufficient training and poor equipment. He doesn't even have armor, only military uniforms and a waist knife.

Now, these civil servant groups want to bring out the Xiang soldiers, which is not only to strengthen the Xiang soldiers' armaments, but also to test them.

Zhu Yijiong was not surprised by this. At the same time, he also thought that the fact that the soldiers belonged to civilian officials seemed to give them an illusion, making them think that the civilian officials of Zhu Jianguo could still dictate military power like the Ming Dynasty did in the past.

Zhu Yijiong thought for a moment and replied: "Since it is a civil war, it needs to be mediated by the local government to calm it down. The cabinet will come up with a charter as soon as possible to resolve the frequent wars and chaos in Zhangquan and Quan Prefectures..."

At the end of the day, Zhu Yijiong added another sentence: "From now on, the troops in the compartment will be changed to the preparation troops, and the general preparation camp will be built!"

Come on, this means that even the soldiers will be taken away directly by the cabinet.

If he had known that Zhu Yijiong had such a tough attitude, it would have been impossible for Wang Li to deliberately test him.

Now this wave is really a waste of money.

After approving the six major and minor memorials, Zhu Yijiong finally looked at the memorials written by Wang Li and Liang Wenxuan, the two cabinet ministers.

Zhu Yijiong's Ming Dynasty did not understand the empty heads of the Qing court. As the elders of the court, Wang Li and Liang Wenxuan only had bachelor's degrees and did not have any part-time jobs in the six departments.Moreover, although the Qing Dynasty also had six ministers, it was just a part-time job. In fact, it did not matter at all. There were other people in the six ministers.

"Open the sea?" This is Wang Li's memorial.

It clearly stated the current situation and conditions. Lin Jun's army went south to Guangdong, causing chaos in Guangdong. At this moment, it was a good opportunity for the Ming Dynasty to open the sea.

Guangdong is disrupted by Lin Jun and will not be able to send troops to attack the coasts of Fujian and Zhejiang. This is the time to start fishing.

Wang Li was not a fool. On the contrary, as a Hu Jianguan who had previously participated in the smuggling trade, he knew how profitable sea trade was.

In fact, not only him, but also those ancient court officials and even emperors really didn't know the benefits of customs trade?

It's nothing more than clinging to one's old ways, or simply being wary of having too much space, or just being a solitary eater.

But there is no need for Wang Li. He is the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty and a very popular minister. Now that the Ming Dynasty is in financial difficulty, Chen Shangshu is not just crying for poverty.After all, this war is indeed very expensive. With the money from military training, military pay, military rations, ordnance and administrative expenses, large-scale military expansion, etc., the Ming court is already somewhat unable to make ends meet.

Zhu Yijiong read it carefully and directly approved: "Accurate! The cabinet should come up with the regulations for opening the sea as soon as possible."

In just over ten words, it has been more than half a year since the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, but now the sea ban imposed by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty is finally about to be lifted.

After reading Wang Li, Liang Wenxuan was quite satisfactory. The memorial removed all the gorgeous rhetoric and talked about the establishment of the governor of Fujian.

The center of the Ming Dynasty moved to Hangzhou. It is indeed necessary to appoint a governor of Fujian, but not now, let's wait.

Zhu Yijiong started reviewing the memorials in the morning. During this period, except for meals and lunch breaks, he almost continued without interruption. He also had lunch in the imperial study room. By the time all the papers were approved, it was already dark.

This is only part of it, and we will continue to approve it tomorrow.

Pain and happiness.

　King Zhu also has to work (ω)
