Chapter 64 Resolute
Zhu Yijun didn't expect that he just asked Chen Ju to hand over Pan Jixun, but he directly got Chen Ju in. Looking at Pan Jixun's memorial to ask for someone, Zhu Yijun could only smile helplessly. This was completely different from Pan Jixun in his impression.
I never thought that Pan Jixun would play rogue with me, but the memorial in front of me was full of rogue!
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Yijun turned to look at Chen Ju and asked, "Is Zhang Jing coming back?"
Chen Ju bowed quickly and said, "Go back to the emperor, Eunuch Zhang's affairs in Hejian Mansion have been finished. It's time to return to Beijing in the next few days."
Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "When Zhang Jing comes back, you can go to Pan Jixun's side! I transferred him from Nanjing. If I don't give him someone, I will seem stingy. I don't know how Pan Jixun will arrange me at that time!"
Chen Ju didn't dare to say anything about Zhu Yijun's words, but just said respectfully: "I obey the order!"
Although I don’t know what Pan Jixun said, Chen Ju knew that Pan Jixun must have said something bad, otherwise the emperor would definitely not have the same attitude. At this time, it would be better not to speak.
Zhu Yijun could breathe a sigh of relief when he asked Chen Ju to go back to the Wubei Department. At least with Pan Jixun and the other two, there would basically be no problem there.
After the Wubei Department came to an end, Zhu Yijun could turn his energy to other places, such as the salt administration and the shipyard. Zhu Yijun thought about it and returned to the Longshu case, Zhu Yijun began to write the imperial edict.
The first imperial edict was given to Chen Lin, and he ordered him to select soldiers from the Royal Navy.
The soldiers were selected from various coastal garrisons to select people. After all, they have not yet been completely decayed, and there are still some people who can fight. Let Chen Lin choose the best, so that the problems of some military households can also be solved.
The key is that these people have received some training and will not be like Bai Ding.
As for whether he would choose a soldier, Zhu Yijun was not worried. With Chen Lin's ability, such a problem should not occur.
The second imperial edict was for the Royal Martial Arts Hall. From the graduates of this period of the Royal Martial Arts Hall, people were drawn into the Royal Navy. Except for those who were phobic about water, all of them were transferred to make these people the skeleton of the Royal Navy.
The third part was for Yu Dayou's son Yu Zigao, who was transferred to the deputy admiral of the Royal Navy.
Although Yu Zigao's evaluation was not high in later generations because he lost the battle, Zhu Yijun knew that with Yu Zigao's strength at that time, he was actually just joking. It was unfair to blame him for all the crimes in that battle.
In fact, Yu Zigao also had a highlight moment, that is, the battle to regain Penghu.
In fact, the Netherlands not only wanted to colonize the Ming Dynasty, but also tried to send fleets and soldiers to occupy islands such as Penghu, build castles and forts, capture the people of the Ming Dynasty as slaves, build castles for them, and sell them to Southeast Asia.
It was Yu Zigao who recovered Penghu, but this period of history was deliberately avoided.
Yu Zigao became a representative figure of the Ming Dynasty's tiger father and dog son, and he was accused of many infamous. Not to mention Yu Zigao at that time, the Zheng family's father and son have been with each other for many years and have never been wiped out, whether it is the Dutch, the British, or the Qing Dynasty.
The naval warfare in this era relies on the strength of the ship and the cannons. Whoever has the best of the ship and the long range of the cannons.
The fourth imperial edict was given to Qi Jin. Qi Jin was Qi Jiguang's nephew. Although he was not his son, he had followed Qi Jiguang to fight south and north since he was a child. This time Zhu Yijun was preparing to transfer him to the Royal Navy as deputy admiral.
After the four imperial edicts were written, Zhu Yijun handed them to Chen Ju: "Send the official gifts and seals to supervise them, and then pass on the orders to the governor's office of the Five Army!"
Chen Ju took the imperial edict, turned around and headed towards the Sili Supervisor.
At this time, the benefits of Zhu Yijun's previous reforms were reflected. For the appointment of generals, it was enough to go directly to the Governor's Office of the Five Army, not to the Ministry of War or the cabinet. It was enough to just go to the Governor's Office of the Five Army.
Compared to civil servants, the nobles of the Governor's Office of the Five Army will naturally not be quarrels, without the confidence or the ability.
A civil servant may win a reputation as a prince, or even cheat the court, but the nobles do not have the courage to win the emperor. The nobles will end up very miserable. No nobles will choose to win the emperor.
After four imperial edicts were sent away, Zhu Yijun picked up another imperial edict. This imperial edict was written to Song Yingchang, the doctor of the Ministry of War.
The content is also very simple, and Song Yingchang was ordered to go to Tianjin Wei to select a site to build a shipyard.
After finishing the imperial edict, Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief. His layout was temporarily completed, and the rest was to promote the promotion of the Shangshi Silver and the Salt Administration. In comparison, these two things are the hard work.
When Zhu Yijun was throwing imperial edicts outside, a team appeared outside the capital, a very large team.
The Jinyiwei and the people from the East Factory opened the way in a mighty way. The imperial envoy guards were on both sides, and carriages were in the middle. The people holding the signs raised the signs in their hands high. Many people could tell at a glance that this was the imperial envoy team of Hejian Mansion.
The matter in Hejian Mansion was very troubled, and the entire capital had been spreading. Now that they are back, many people realize that something is going to happen again in the court.
In the restaurant on the street, Li Zhongxing stood on the second floor with a blank expression, looking at the huge team passing by the street with a complicated expression. After a while, he spoke, "The imperial envoy is back, and the emperor is afraid he will take action."
Li Xi glanced at his father and asked in confusion: "But there must be salt merchants in this world!"
After looking at his son, Li Zhongxing smiled and said, "Who said there must be salt merchants in this world? Many times, this statement is just self-righteousness. If there is no salt merchant in this world, it is the world."
Li Xi really couldn't figure out what the emperor was going to do, so he asked, "Dad, what will the emperor do?"
"How to do it? It will definitely scare you!" Li Zhongxing glanced at his son and said with a smile.
In fact, Li Zhongxing didn’t know what the emperor would do, but in front of his son, I couldn’t say that I didn’t know either, right? This way, the saying of the clouds and mountains seems to be tall and superior.
The court has been brewing a storm these days, but no one knows where the storm is ignited.
In the tenth year of Wanli, on the third day of the winter month, the grand dynasty meeting.
Zhu Yijun put on his clothes under the servitude of Zhang Jing, stretched his waist and walked out of the bedroom. When he got outside, Zhu Yijun took a breath of slightly cold air and couldn't help but fight a cold war.
"It's still very cold this winter!" Zhu Yijun couldn't help but say with emotion.
Zhang Jing followed Zhu Yijun and said with a smile: "This is all thanks to the emperor. It has fallen a few snow after the beginning of winter. Although the weather is cold, there is a saying among the people that auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. Next year will definitely be a good year."
Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Jing and said with a smile: "I went to Hejian and I spoke well."
Because of the cold weather, Zhu Yijun left very quickly. After entering the hall, the ministers had been waiting here for a long time. After seeing Zhu Yijun come in, everyone knelt on the ground to salute Zhu Yijun.
After looking at everyone, Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "Everyone is exempt from gifts!"
"Just when I came here, Zhang Jing told me that auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, and next year should be a good harvest. I also thought that the Ming Dynasty would be able to have a prosperous country and peace, which is a good omen." Zhu Yijun said with a smile before the ministers came out to report.
"The Hejian Mansion case is well handled, I feel relieved. The cabinet will draft a reward order as soon as possible."
Zhang Siwei quickly stood up and said, "Go back to the emperor, I will receive the order, and I will definitely draft a reward order as soon as possible."
Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile: "This is the best. Then let's talk about the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. I have read the recent public recommendation. It's good. All three of you are very good, and I didn't find any problems."
"This is very good. The Ming Dynasty needs such a minister. I have also looked at it in detail. This time, I will choose Chen Aiqing if you enter the cabinet!"
Zhu Yijun did not hesitate and directly pointed out Chen Yu's name. After all, he would like to promote the Shangshi Silver next, and this matter should be implemented as soon as possible. If Chen Yu entered the cabinet, it would be very beneficial to the implementation of his Shangshi Silver.
"Don't be discouraged, the remaining two dear ministers, there is still a chance next time."
Although this was a comfort from the emperor, many people still felt a chill in their hearts, as if the weather was outside.
"My minister, please thank me!" Chen Jun hurriedly lay on the ground to salute. Although he tried his best to hide it, his face and voice were full of excitement. But everyone can understand, civil ministers, who doesn't want to enter the cabinet?
"Get up!" Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "After entering the cabinet, my dear will be in charge of the people and do more. It is not worth it."
"I am obeying the emperor's teachings!" Chen Xu said quickly, his tone firm.
Zhu Yijun nodded and then said, "This matter has been settled, so let's talk about the issue of maintaining Shiyin!"
"I won't say much about the benefits of raising a scholar. These days I have discussed with the six ministers and several cabinet ministers, and the court officials have also submitted many memorials, some agree and some oppose it."
"I think this matter is settled. I set up a tax department in the Ministry of Revenue to supervise the collection of national taxes."
"In this matter, the Cabinet and the Ministry of Revenue will come up with a charter as soon as possible. By the time next summer is collected, the country will adopt a new tax system. The tax will be distributed to the acres, and officials and gentry will pay the food together, and no one can be an exception."
"I have made it clear that even my royal family has to pay taxes. No one can be exceptional in the world."
"Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, has added the "Tax Law" to the "Da Ming Law". Any tax evasion and tax evasion will be punished according to the amount. You can consider the specific details and report them to me after completing them."
As the ministers below listened, many people wanted to speak, and they were all waiting for Zhu Yijun to finish speaking.
"Scattered!"
Chapter completed!
