Seeing that it was indeed Zhu Ainao, all the ministers immediately bowed and pushed their hands up to their heads, bowing to heaven.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Zhu Ailao smiled and raised her hand, "Everyone is at peace."

"Long live thanks!"

The eunuch who presided over the ceremony shouted again: "Take your seat!"

All the military ministers, cabinet ministers, ministers (ministers) were sitting carefully and upright, and many of them were obviously more nervous than when Zhu Aoshan was supervising the country.

Although Zhu Yushan could also cross the two realms, in terms of prestige and pressure on the ministers, she was obviously not as good as Zhu Yushan who single-handedly brought the Ming Dynasty back from danger and governed it into the Ming Empire.

"Today's meeting, the first thing to do is to tell all the ministers that my affairs with the emperor have come to an end.

However, there are other things that I need to assist the emperor in dealing with, and they are also important matters related to the Ming Dynasty, so Kun Qing will be needed to assist me in handling the military and government affairs of the Ming Dynasty for quite some time."

This was the decision made by Zhu Aelao after discussing with Hao Guangming and Zhu Aoshan last night.

Since the black halo is disappearing little by little, it is destined that she and Zhu Yushan will lose the ability to cross the two realms one day.

Perhaps this time will take as long as ten years, eight years, or even longer, but it is never too early to prepare from now on.

After careful consideration, she and Aunt Zhu decided to stay in Daxia. As for the Ming Dynasty, the throne would eventually be passed to her son Zhu Hechen.

Regardless of personal considerations, or considerations for her son and the Ming Empire, she had no intention of dying of old age as emperor in the Ming Dynasty.

For one thing, being an emperor is actually not an easy task. Even now, the various departments and systems of the Ming Empire are quite complete. The Military Academy, the Cabinet, and the Secretariat can share a lot of work for her, but she wants to control such a big government.

In the empire, there are still many matters that need to be handled by the emperor every day.

Secondly, after being in a position for a long time, especially in a stable and worry-free environment, it is easy to become lazy.

Although she is still young, she is still passionate about handling state affairs and has not slacked off for more than ten years. But who can guarantee that she will still be able to maintain this state twenty, thirty, or even fifty years later?

?

Even if she can maintain a good condition and use the technology of another world to live for more than a hundred years, it will only make Ming stable for more than a hundred years.

Her son may become the crown prince until his death, and there may also be a gap between him and her - this is not what she wants to see.

Similarly, if she occupies the throne for such a long time, it may cause the Ming Empire to be unable to adapt to the transitional stage of succession to the throne, and may even lead to chaos in the future.

Therefore, it is better to let the throne be passed down in an orderly manner.

Because only the orderly inheritance of the throne from one generation to the next is the best way to ensure the long-term stability of the Ming Empire.

At the same time, she is more interested in starting a new career in Daxia. After all, the world on the other side is more colorful, but she has been limited by the distance of five feet and has not been able to experience it before.

In summary, it was decided to let Zhu Yushan continue to assist her in handling the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

After listening to Zhu Yuluo's words, the ministers looked at each other, and they didn't know what to think for a moment. Because they didn't know what was going on on the other side - even though all the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty were present, no one was sure whether the emperor's side was really real.

Fairyland.

After being silent for nearly half a minute, Li Yan finally said, "Your Majesty, how long will it take for the emperor's affairs to be settled?"

Zhu Aao said: "It's hard to say, but it will probably take at least five years."

At least five years?

After hearing this, many people's minds immediately started to work.

In five years, the prince has grown into a young man, and will reach adulthood in a few years. In this way, Princess Kunqing will not be in charge of the country for a long time.

Although the ministers didn't know whether the emperor's side was really a fairyland, they knew one thing. As long as Zhu Concubine was around, no one in the Ming Empire could compete with her.

The only one who is somewhat possible is Zhu Yueshan, because Zhu Yueshan also has the ability to travel between two realms.

Therefore, the ministers were a little worried about Zhu Yushan's long-term supervision of the country.

If the prince oversees the country in the future, they won't worry.

I remember that when Emperor Chengzu conquered Mobei several times, he was always the prince overseeing the country and managed the huge Ming Dynasty well.

Zhu Yuluo mentioned this matter not for discussion among ministers, but for notification.

So, after leaning for a while, she said: "The second thing is to expand overseas - I decided to set up a South American City, an East Africa City, and a South Africa City in addition to the Yingzhou City and the North America City.

In other words, in the next ten years, in addition to exploring North America and South America, Ming Dynasty will also need to explore Africa, especially South Africa."

This incident was not surprising to everyone.

Now the Western Navy of the Ming Dynasty has dominated the Indian Ocean, and its deterrence and influence are extending to the Atlantic Ocean. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty will either take action against the Indian subcontinent or take action against Africa.

Now it seems that Zhu Yurao obviously chose Africa instead of the Indian subcontinent.

But this does not mean that the Ming Dynasty will not touch India.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty is now exerting influence on the Mughal Empire and other small countries in the Indian subcontinent from the east, north, and south.

Today, all parts of India are flooded with Ming Dynasty products, ranging from luxury goods that only princes and nobles can afford, to cloth, salt, etc. that common people need for daily life. Most of them come from the Ming Dynasty.

It even had a certain impact on Indian language habits.

For example, Indian people like to add the word "ming" in front of many items, such as ming cloth, ming salt, ming nails, ming powder, ming sugar, etc.

And any product with the word "ming" on it seems to have become high-end and is sought after by Indians. For this reason, some smart Indian businessmen even deliberately add the word "ming" to local finished products, or directly use the Chinese word

Name, so that the product can be sold more easily.

At the same time, Ming Dynasty's knowledge and questioning are also sought after by Indians.

The princes and nobles of the Indian princes and nobles who had some foresight all wanted to send their children to study in the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty did not let everyone in. These people who wanted to send people to study often had to pay a huge price, and they also entered the Ming Dynasty.

Without a good school, very few people can truly learn useful knowledge.

And among these people who really learned useful knowledge, quite a few fell in love with Ming Dynasty deeply and were not willing to return to India at all. They settled and lived in Ming Dynasty directly.

These important ministers who were at the center of the Ming Empire were all very knowledgeable. After learning this information, they knew that India was already in the Ming Empire's pocket, and there was no need to worry.

On the contrary, if we directly take over India, it will be very troublesome to govern. It is better to let the princes and nobles of India manage it for the Ming Dynasty like now.

When the Ming Dynasty's influence on India becomes more and more profound, the day will naturally come to an end.

"The third thing is that I am going to send a larger mission, escorted by a fleet from each of the Western Navy and the Nanyang Navy, to visit European countries in the Western Sea.

The first is to establish diplomatic relations with European countries; the second is to demonstrate the prestige of our country, the Ming Dynasty, so that these people will not overestimate their capabilities and compete with the Ming Dynasty overseas."

Although it is easy for the Ming Dynasty to conquer the overseas colonial forces of Western countries, it also costs money.

When the cannon goes off, there is a thousand taels of gold.

If you can scare the Western colonists away with just a few words, without having to abolish the Ming Dynasty's soldiers and artillery shells, it will naturally be the best.

In Hao Guangming's history, wasn't there a time when the Qing Dynasty treated the Western powers as their masters and did whatever they asked them to do? The Ming Empire is just following their example.

"The fourth thing is to completely abolish the imperial examination system and implement a school education system. Therefore, each province needs to add universities, high schools, junior high schools, and elementary schools. In addition, the three-year compulsory education system is changed to a five-year compulsory education system."

After hearing this, the expressions of the ministers were finally moved, but that was all.

It is now the seventeenth year of Zhaowu, and nearly fifteen years have passed since the Ming Dynasty gradually replaced the imperial examination system with the school system in the second year of Zhaowu.

Nowadays, all children and young people in the Ming Dynasty take studying in school as the right path, and very few take the imperial examination.

Therefore, the complete abolition of the imperial examination system is actually a matter of course.

As for the five-year compulsory education system, it is also as it should be.

As early as the seventh year of Zhaowu, the primary school system in the Ming Dynasty was changed from a three-year system to a five-year system. Since then, due to insufficient financial resources, the three-year compulsory education system has not been changed.

Today, Ming Dynasty has acquired a large amount of wealth from overseas. The accumulated wealth of the treasury has exceeded 10 billion yuan, and at least 2 to 3 billion yuan is accounted for every year.

With so much money, even if the Ming Empire now has a very vast territory (thirty-three provinces), there is no problem in implementing a five-year compulsory education system.

"The fifth thing is to reorganize the army. Change 'Wu, Shi, Team, Post, General, Battalion, Town' to 'Wu, Shi, Team, Post, Battalion, Regiment, Division'.

In addition, the Royal Guards, Guards, Border Guards and Marine Battalions will use breech-loading rifles in batches.

Therefore, the number of personnel and positions at all levels in the military also need to be changed to a certain extent. The specific changes will be decided by the department of the Military Academy."
