Chapter 1122 The overall situation has been decided
Zhu Xu listened to the waiter's words and nodded with a smile.
Although the "New Policy" is full of troubles, it has become somewhat apparent in the end. As long as you work further, you will gradually make a significant improvement.
If you can pass through the small ice river as soon as possible, the manifestation will be even more obvious, and the Ming Dynasty will enter a new era of taking off!
The waiter could see that Zhu Xubufan was cautious and enthusiastic, and went downstairs after accusing him of guilt.
Xiao Ciye stood on the chair, holding small chopsticks, and was picking up all kinds of food into his bowl. His expression was very serious, but his hands were shaking violently and he fell off the table from time to time.
Zhu Xu smiled and took it, packed a bowl for him, and then watched him eat it.
The little guy was really hungry, sat at the table, took a small spoon, and slashed the food from the bowl into his mouth.
Zhu Xu looked at him with a smile, but involuntarily thought about government affairs in his mind.
This trip to King Ping has stabilized the Mongolian tribes. In ten or eight years, there should be no problems in the Great Wall area, so you can rest assured.
Then came Japan. Cao Bianjiao's joint fleet put a little pressure on it. Japan basically had no other choice and could only "submit" with the Ming Dynasty. It was nothing more than a matter of time.
Next is the Southeast Peninsula. This place is very chaotic now. Whether it is Myanmar, Nanzhang, or Siam, the inside is divided and fighting, and the impact of natural disasters has worsened, and life is difficult. The southern border is visible in time.
If you have no worries about external troubles, that is internal affairs.
After Zhu Xu's years of sorting out the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty, the big framework and the big trend have been formed. What we need to do now is to promote reforms in depth and chew those hard bones. These are no longer necessary for him to charge or make big moves. Just follow the steps, overcome all obstacles and move forward.
There is no need to worry about internal affairs and external troubles, so there is only a long-term development left.
Speaking of this, Zhu Xu suddenly looked at Cao Huachun and said, "Where is the Hongwu number now?"
Cao Huachun turned sideways and said calmly: "Return to the emperor, the Hongwu fleet has been going out for more than eight months. Now it has gone far away. Even if there is a reward, it will not be so fast. The Navy and the Military Intelligence Department estimate that they may have already walked halfway. It is expected that they can reach the Western Barbarians from June to September next year. It is not ruled out that it will take longer. It may take two or three years to return."
"That's about one and a half years to two years?" Zhu Xu said softly.
Most of the current HNA relies on vitality, and any movement may cause a fleet to be wiped out silently.
If there is a strong wind, it is normal for the fleet to leave the channel and go to an unknown place and be lost and unable to come back.
In short, traveling far away on the sea is extremely dangerous!
What made Zhu Xu a little relieved was that the Hongwu fleet was a huge fleet of more than 100 ships, and it was led by Europeans with rich navigation experience, so there should be nothing to worry about.
After calculating this carefully, Zhu Xu felt relaxed. He picked up the chopsticks and ate them with Xiao Ciye.
The little guy is not very concerned about other things, but he is never polite to food, and now he is a little fat.
Although the things outside are not as exquisite as those in the imperial kitchen, they have a different taste. Zhu Xu's taste is wide and she can't help but eat a little more.
After a while, Cao Huachun stepped forward and said, "Emperor, Shangshu Zhao, and Shangshu Shen have all come back. Do you want to meet?"
Cao Huachun talked about Zhao Han, the Minister of Personnel, and Shen Xun, the Minister of Rites. These two people also went to Guihua City with King Ping.
Zhu Xu put on the chopsticks and said, "I don't see you, let them write a memorial for me to show you. By the way, tomorrow, let them all go to the parliament on the second floor. I will meet these parliamentarians, and I have to teach them some things and some words."
Cao Huachun responded and said, "Yes."
At the same time, the cabinet is really upset now, Bi Ziyan, King Jing, Wang Qiaonian, Sun Chuanting and others gathered together to discuss the draft that was rejected by the parliament.
Wang Qiaonian frowned and looked unhappy, saying, "What's going on with the parliament? Even the reform agenda formulated by the cabinet dared to refuse at will. They did not take the cabinet seriously at all!"
King Jing looked at Bi Ziyan and said in a slight manner: "The recent appointments of the Governor's Yuan, including the local courts in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, have been rejected by the parliament. They demanded that the local nominations be made according to the regulations of the court, not the cabinet."
Sun Chuanting looked at Bi Ziyan and did not speak. The cabinet's denial draft was not one or two. The members of the second floor had a lot of opinions on the cabinet's proposals, and the most reasons were that "spend the foundation and the people's hearts gradually became lost." They believed that these reform plans of the cabinet would hurt the local people's hearts and be detrimental to the current situation.
Bi Ziyan's face was as deep as water, suppressing the anger in his heart, saying, "Don't you go and treat them to a meal? Isn't it any effect?"
Zheng Youyuan, the secretary of the cabinet, stood not far away, stepped forward and said, "Sir, these people are not stubborn and stubborn, and they can't make any sense. Several of them are Jinshi, Hanlin, with extremely high qualifications and seniority, and they cannot be overly accused of officials."
The court actually feared the most is such officials, who cannot be beaten or scolded, and they have to endure their saliva. In the past, they were just not powered, but now they have power. If they insisted on going to the end, the cabinet would really have no choice.
King Jing also had anger on his face and said, "Didn't the emperor say that the cabinet would plan the authority of the parliament? We would greatly reduce the authority of the parliament, or raise the voting requirements so that they could not block our memorial!"
Sun Chuanting shook his head and said, "These require the emperor to nod. Now we must pass these policies as soon as possible and promulgate before the New Year. The news has been released. If it is delayed until the New Year, it will damage the authority of the cabinet and shake the confidence of the 'new policy'."
Just as Wang Qiaonian was about to speak, a guard hurried in, whispered in Zheng Youyuan's ear, and then retreated.
Zheng Youyuan looked at Bi Ziyan and others and said, "The emperor has just issued an order outside the palace. A brief meeting will be held on the second floor tomorrow. Please ask the cabinet, the ministers and ministers of the six ministries, etc. to be present."
Sun Chuanting immediately said, "I guess the emperor knows about the cabinet and wants to help us solve it."
The troubles of the cabinet are ultimately the national affairs, and the Qianqing Palace will not sit idly by.
Bi Ziyan nodded slightly and said, "Then wait for one day and talk about it tomorrow. By the way, the Cao Transportation said that there is 400,000 silver. When will it be collected?"
Sun Chuanting did not expect Bi Ziyan to make a sudden turn, and pondered for a moment, saying, "I am already urging the canal transportation. The canal transportation was originally owned by Guomao Temple, but now it is also owned by the canal transportation department. I am preparing to carry out reforms, including Guomao Temple. I cannot let them lie in the yamen and wait for the silver to be delivered to my door..."
Bi Ziyan heard something from Sun Chuanting's words, but he didn't care. He believed Sun Chuanting, and then looked at King Jing and Wang Qiaonian, saying: "Your matter is ready, find some time, please ask the emperor to preside over a cabinet meeting and decide the major matter next year, so you can't delay it."
"Yes." Everyone nodded.
