My Daming New Empire

Zhu Zhanji was busy socializing. Although he is a grandson, there are many nobles in the capital, and he had to socialize with some relatives and families one by one.

Zhu Di lay lazy in the greenhouse every day, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Gaochi could only assume the responsibility of the royal family.

Of course, Zhu Di didn't care about anything. On the day of the second day of junior high school, the palace also invited all the nobles in the capital to give a banquet in the palace.

At this banquet, Zhu Zhanji also met the alternative princess Yongping in the royal family and his playboy son Li Maofang.

This second aunt has always been unpopular in the entire royal family, because she has never looked like a princess, but like a merchant's daughter, without any princess-consciousness in her body.

Zhu Di has three sons and five daughters in total, of which the three sons and four daughters were all born to Empress Xu.

Princess Yongping, as the first daughter, was not favored, but no one dared to bully her.

But because of her husband's early death, she became a widow at the age of 26, and she lacks a sense of security personally, so she loves money very much.

It is a very shameful thing for a princess to love money and goods in this era. She is not ashamed and instilled her own outlook on life into her only son Li Maofang.

Li Maofang is one year younger than Zhu Zhanji, and was held in the palm of Princess Yongping since he was a child. He grew up in the palm of his hand. He is not a man of humanities, but his favorite thing is doing business.

But what he does business is not innovation, not down-to-earth, but likes to rely on the princess mother, relying on the identity of Fuyanghou to take away by force.

Because of his unsightly eating, he caused troubles several times, which made Zhu Di very disgusted with him.Zhu Di reprimanded Princess Yongping several times, which made their mother and son calm down.

For this reason, Zhu Zhanji actually didn't like to see this cousin.It's not that he despises business, he is actually in business himself.But if you don't rely on your own ability, you can only bully others. This is not doing business, but being a robber.

However, because their mother and son were only children, they did not participate in the process of voyages to the West, and they would not pester Zhu Zhanji to carve out a piece of land for their family in Nanzhou.

What made Zhu Zhanji laugh and cry was that before the banquet, Princess Yongping brought Li Maofang to find Zhu Zhanji, and she wanted Zhu Zhanji to help Fuyang Houfu sell Majia crystal and Liuli's agent in the north.

Ma Zhide's family originally focused on polishing natural crystals. The cost was high and the profit was not high, so they could only be regarded as medium-sized merchants.

But after taking refuge in Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanji supported them to build a new type of glazed kiln, making the production of colored glaze closer to modern glass.

The quality of Ma's glass is even better than the Venetian glass of this era.

Especially with the invention of the telescope, the application of high-grade glass and crystal has changed from ornamental to practical, and sales have increased greatly, and now it has become the largest dealer in Ming Dynasty.

With the official order from the imperial court, the high-end crystal and colored glaze of the Ma family are in short supply, so there is no need to ask them to sell them as agents.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji just refused their request on the grounds that it involved military secrets, that the high-grade colored glazes were not exported, and that the production of middle and low-grade colored glazes was not high.

Unlike the cold reception of Princess Yongping's mother and son, although Princess Yong'an passed away, she punished Yuan Rong for three years, and Zhu Di seemed to calm down.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Princess Yong'an was buried, and the next day Yuan Rong handed over a message, please resign as Marquis of Guangping.

On the day of the second day of the Lunar New Year, when Zhu Di received the nobles, he made a logical promise that Yuan Zhen would inherit the title of Marquis of Guangping.Not only did Yi Ying's salary remain the same, but the salary deducted in the previous three years was also made up.

Zhu Gaochi didn't know that he would be sent to the northwest after the Chinese New Year. In addition to socializing in the palace, he has been attending banquets everywhere in the past few days.

However, he is different from Zhu Zhanji. Zhu Zhanji likes to go to the homes of generals and nobles, but he likes to go to the homes of his subordinate officials, and his subordinate officials are all civil servants.

Occasionally, Zhu Zhanji would feel pity for this father in his heart. He is indeed a good man and a knowledgeable Confucian disciple.

But he just forgot that the most important thing for him is to be an heir to the empire.

After the second year of junior high school, Zhu Zhanji followed Zhu Di's instructions and intentionally posted posts to various generals' houses.

In particular, Yin Guzuo of Yingtian Mansion and the five commanding envoys of the Wucheng Bingma Division are the most important.They were also specially arranged by Zhu Zhanji on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month to bring their families into the palace to meet them.

Zhu Gaochi will also be sent out when Zhu Di goes out to fight.Most of the guards in the capital will go out with Zhu Di's expedition.The remaining army is related to the stability of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Ying Tianfu is in charge of the public security of the capital. Although there are not many people, they know every corner of the corresponding Tianfu like the back of their hands.

The soldiers and horses of the five cities are responsible for defending the capital. Their men and horses are the only ones who can enter and leave the inner city freely except for the Jingwei.

Coupled with Zhu Zhanji's own Habayashi Guard, the Young Army, and the Xinjiangkou Camp of the Navy's First Fleet, there are a total of 10 people, enough to control the entire capital.

In addition, in his spare time every day, he also had to sort out the merits of all the soldiers on the way to sea this time. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when everything was back to normal, he had to reward them first.

And some people, although they are not in Daming, but whether it is honors or material rewards, they have to be distributed to their families.

For example, Ma Huan, because he single-handedly promoted the alliance between Ming Dynasty and the Mamluk Dynasty, obtained hundreds of square kilometers of land and allowed Ming Dynasty to garrison troops.

He was also appointed as the first Governor of Suez to control the military administration, economic and trade power of the Governor of Suez.

Although he is not in Daming, the imperial court must announce it to the world.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, all ministries open their offices, but there will be no officials sitting in the halls these few days, only someone on duty to deal with emergencies.

The court meeting on this day will not deal with specific government affairs, but a document written by the cabinet to announce to the world.

In the document, some good prospects are made for the 18th year of Yongle, and some policies to be implemented are officially announced.

Among them, the implementation of the "Daming Rules of Procedure" was included.

Although this rule of procedure will be implemented nationwide in the future, and will also be implemented in all state capitals, at least this year, it will not be implemented. At least it will be implemented in the court for a period of time. After problems are found and resolved, it will be fully promoted.

In many respects, today's era is much more backward than later generations.However, in the implementation of policies and decrees by the court, there is actually no difference from later generations.

This kind of policy-based regulations is gradually promoted, and there are only a few times in history that Wang Anshi's reckless and forceful implementation has been carried out.

But Jian Yi and the others were surprised to find that this time seemed to go smoothly unexpectedly, and until today, neither the generals nor the emperor had any delays.

When Jian Yi and the others brought up the detailed rules of procedure that they had painstakingly worked out for discussion, they did not receive much opposition.

Even, the procedure they presented was much more conservative than the procedure presented by the emperor.

As a result, when Jian Yi saw the set of detailed rules brought out by the emperor, he did not hesitate to tuck the one he wrote into his skirt.

First of all, the emperor stopped worrying about everything and delegated power to various ministries.

For all procedural official affairs, when there are old rules to follow, everything should be done according to the rules, and there is no need to discuss everything, let alone bring it to the Dachao meeting for discussion.

Secondly, when it comes to the turnover of gold and silver, according to the old practice of the previous three years, the emperor has increased by [-]% compared with previous years, and the emperor will no longer manage this part of the funds, and each department will handle it by itself.

Only the floating funds of the Ministry of Accounts and additional funds are still controlled by the emperor, and the emperor's approval is required for the transfer.

Even so, the ministries are still a bit unbelievable, the emperor not only gave them the power of affairs, but also gave them the financial power.

Now it's [-]% more. If you save a little on your daily work, you can save a part of the money every year to improve your office conditions!

While they were happy, they didn't realize that this kind of official affairs of various ministries did not need to be discussed in the court, which meant that other ministers had no chance to intervene in other departments.

When they have tasted the sweetness of being their own masters, will they allow others to intervene no matter what?

As for the allocation of basic office funds to themselves, in later generations countries, various departments also arranged in this way.Anyway, the money has to be spent, and the normal office cannot be maintained without it.

The Ministry of Households was held in the hands at the beginning, but in the end it still had to be given to them, and I added a lot of troubles.
