Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 60
The eight bureaus are the lowest level in the 24 yamen, namely the Bingzhan Bureau, Silver Work Bureau, Huanyi Bureau, Scarf and Hat Bureau, Needle Work Bureau, Nei Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, Wine and Vinegar Noodle Bureau, and Siyuan Bureau.

Compared with the Twelve Inner Prisons, the Eighth Bureau not only has a lower status, but also has a different power. However, the Eighth Bureau has a place that the Twelve Inner Prisons do not have, and it is also the place that Zhu Houzhao values ​​most.That is, half of the imperial city and half of the outer city in the eighth round.In the yamen of the imperial palace, the Eighth Bureau can reach out, and it is very important, very important, to reach out in a grand and open manner.

Among the eight bureaus, the Bingzhan Bureau is in charge of manufacturing weapons, and there is a gunpowder department below it. To put it bluntly, the Bingzhan Bureau is an arsenal with countless craftsmen below it.

In this era, weapon making and iron smelting are connected, and there is no obvious boundary. Zhu Houzhao can use the military battle to extend his hand into the metallurgical industry, so as to penetrate into the mining industry below.Although a military bureau looks inconspicuous, but Zhu Houzhao builds it with heart, then he can create a perfect industrial chain from mining to metallurgy to ordnance manufacturing.You must know that Daming's current mine tax collection is very difficult, and it will not be collected at all in a few years.

People from later generations know that mining is the energy industry. Does anyone know how profitable this industry is?Future generations of coal bosses and steel tycoons, which one is short of money?
Domestic state-owned enterprises control these industries, but how powerful are the giants in the energy industry abroad?Those who sell oil in the Middle East are local tyrants. Although there are not so many minerals used in this era, it is still a very profitable industry.In addition, Zhu Houzhao can also be asked to reach into the weapon casting. This is a very important line of army logistics supply. How can this be let go?

Silver Bureau, in charge of making gold and silver ornaments, I don't have any ideas for the time being, but I can see if I can extend my hand to gold and silver mines in the future.

Huanyi Bureau, this bureau is not in the city, the place where clothes are washed, the old people of the palace and those who have retired, send this bureau to live, Zhu Houzhao thinks this place can develop a commercial intelligence agency.Although Dongchang and Jinyiwei are also intelligence agencies, they may not do a good job in commercial intelligence. The Huanyi Bureau is an inconspicuous place, but if it is used well, it may be able to do great things.

The towel and hat bureau, the hats and boots of the envoys in the palace, the crown boots of the son-in-law, and the hats and boots of the flags and captains of the king's country, this is useless, you can put it aside.

The Needlework Bureau is in charge of manufacturing palace clothes. This is a bit interesting. Zhu Houzhao can reach out to the garment manufacturing through the Needlework Bureau and the craftsmen under the Needlework Bureau to create a luxury product.In this era, the profits in this are huge, and there is a lot to do.A group of local tyrants in Daming don't know how to spend their money, so I can teach them, if it's okay, if it's not, it's fine, it's not compulsory.

The Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau is responsible for dyeing satin for the imperial use and for the palace. Through the Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, Zhu Houzhao can reach out to the textile industry. In this era, the profits here are huge. The indigo factory in the west of the city It is from the Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau.

The wine and vinegar noodle bureau, in charge of eating wine vinegar, sugar sauce, flour beans and other things in the palace, this yamen can allow Zhu Houzhao to develop the wine making industry. Although it is not under the jurisdiction of the imperial wine room, it is definitely a very, very useful yamen.Alcohol is a high-consumption and profiteering industry in any era. Zhu Houzhao can make some 1500-year-old wine, but what is the name?Should it be called Sprite?
The Siyuan Bureau handles vegetables, melons and fruits, builds greenhouses, and sells off-season vegetables, which will definitely make a lot of money.

Anyway, if the Eighth Bureau is in the hands of Zhu Houzhao, it will definitely not be as lifeless as it is now. Zhu Houzhao will definitely let them infiltrate various industries in Ming Dynasty. Aren't you officials and businessmen?Then I will come to a royal merchant.For example, if you don't call mine tax, that's fine, then you don't open mines, I will open them.When the capital is accumulated, I will do whatever it takes to make money, and squeeze out the originality. Isn’t that what Tencent does in the future.

In addition, there is another thing that Zhu Houzhao is very satisfied with in the eight bureaus, that is, each bureau has one eunuch who is in charge of printing, one eunuch who is admiral, and there are no quotas for management, bookkeeping, office management, writing, and supervision.

The meaning of no quota is very simple, that is, I can use as many people as I want. To some extent, I can expand infinitely.

Zhu Youtang never thought that his son would make such a big idea, it was just an eighth game, Zhu Youtang didn't take it to heart, but now Zhu Youtang did.

These years, Zhu Youtang didn't pay much attention to the internal supervision, but Zhu Youtang also knew what the Eighth Bureau does. Now that his son has engaged in a major matter like the Yanzheng, but only one Eighth Bureau, if Zhu Youtang thinks there is nothing wrong with it, That would be too simple.During this period of time, Zhu Youtang has seen everything about his son's performance.

All aspects can be called evildoers. Under such circumstances, how could Zhu Youtang feel that his son's eight rounds had no purpose.

"Tell me, what do you want the eighth game to do?" Zhu Youtang looked at Zhu Houzhao with a smile and asked.

"Can you sweep the world without sweeping a house? Although the Eighth Bureau looks inconspicuous, it involves the basic necessities of life inside and outside the ring palace. My son wants the Eighth Bureau because he wants to practice his skills. The government affairs of the court are complicated and there are many yamen. My son wants to Let’s get acquainted first, the eighth round is just right.” Zhu Houzhao naturally wouldn’t say what he really thought, but directly gave the reasons he had thought up long ago, with a serious look.

Glancing at his son, Zhu Youtang's first reaction was that his son's words were not true, but when he saw his son's appearance, Zhu Youtang smiled: "Okay, you have done the Yanzheng, and the Eighth Bureau will be under your control." !"

In Zhu Youtang's view, it's a good thing for his son to do something. It doesn't matter why he insists on the eight games and what his son wants to do.

While the father and son were having a heart-to-heart talk, the news about Yantiesi had already spread wildly outside. For a while, countless officials began to rush about this matter, looking around for news.Some people want to prevent the establishment of this yamen, and some people want to go in and make a profit. This must be a rich department.

For a moment, although the entire officialdom in the capital city seemed to be calm, it had already been rolled over because of a Yan Tiesi.

Zhu Youtang and Zhu Houzhao's father and son are not worried about this at all. Zhu Houzhao continues to live according to his daily schedule, but Zhu Houzhao has always held his copy of the title book in his hand.At this juncture, someone handed over this question book, what is this going to do?

In fact, Zhu Houzhao knows without guessing that the source of this question book is absolutely inseparable from the cabinet.It's just that Zhu Houzhao didn't know whether this inscription was produced by a certain academician from the cabinet, or whether it was produced by three academicians from the cabinet.
