My Daming New Empire

It's like investigating a case with the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If you don't pay the Ministry of Criminal Justice to go out to work, who will go out to investigate the case?

Moreover, the system at this time was quite unreasonable, and all funds were held in the hands of the Ministry of Accounts.Other departments ask for a little, squeeze out a little, don't forget about it, don't give it.

Although this method saves some money, it actually causes low work efficiency and distraction of energy.

Now the imperial court directly distributes funds to the ministries on a monthly basis, and the ministries arrange it themselves, so that the ministries can focus on their official duties.

Review the use of funds every month, use them reasonably, and distribute them on time next month, which can also prevent large-scale corruption.

But this kind of self-control of power and financial power is a huge "progress" for the ministers of various ministries, and each of them can't help but be overjoyed.

Through the implementation of this set of rules of procedure, the Ministry of Households has become the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War has become the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Rites has become the Ministry of Rites. Instead of discussing trivial matters as in the past, they are collectively referred to as the six ministries.

And military affairs are now handled by themselves, unless it is a major event, it will be discussed, which reduces the intervention of civilian officials in military affairs.

Without the Ministry of Finance holding the army's neck with money, their right to speak has also been greatly reduced.

At this time, Jian Yi discovered the problem. Now that the affairs of the various ministries are handled by themselves, what else is there to discuss at the Great Court Meeting?

However, even when he found out that the position and authority he had won with great difficulty had been greatly reduced, Jian Yi did not dare to raise his opinion, because it was against all the ministers.

In fact, there are still many things that need to be discussed in the Great Court, such as high-level personnel rights,...but this seems to be his previous job!

There are also the formulation of various new policies, the handling of unexpected events, etc..., Jian Yi finally found out that most of the power he won was false.

When he was leaving the court, he glanced at Zhu Zhanji in front of him on the right, and felt for the first time that this grandson was not simple at all...

(This chapter was not written smoothly. I originally wanted to describe the implementation of policies and disputes, but I found that if I wrote out the regulations one by one, I am afraid that it would take several chapters to finish, so I wrote it roughly, and there will be more chapters later. I will write about the struggle in this regard at that time.)

Thank you libra~Xi Shepherd for your rewards, becoming the master of the old demon, and thank you Wuleistorm, the boring little book boy, and the rewards from people who see the lights, thank you for your support

Chapter 18 Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment

Gu Zuo is absolutely different in today's Daming officialdom.

First of all, his ancestral home is Taikang, and he has no fellow countrymen to help him in the court.

Secondly, his ancestors were officials in the Yuan Dynasty, which belongs to black history in this era.

Then, he is capable of both literature and martial arts, and has high martial arts skills. He is a rough man in the hearts of literati.

In the end, he has a square personality and is known as Bao Zheng of the Ming Dynasty. He never forms a party for personal gain.

After being awarded the title of minister by Zhu Di, Gu Zuo had the power to work in the inner court and discuss matters, but every time he was alone in a small room, he was not discussing politics or sitting in groups with officials.He got the nickname "Gu Duzuo".

Although Yin Tianfu Yin has a high position and authority, although he is the parent official of the capital, he actually belongs to the local officials, not the capital officials.Just because this position is in the capital city, it was counted into the ranks of the capital officials.

When he became Yintian Fu Yin at the beginning, it was under the circumstances that everyone was not optimistic about him.However, since he took office, he has won a lot of praise for his excellent handling ability, clean conduct, resolute character, and never favoritism.

Since the tenth year of Yongle, he has served as Yingtian Fu Yin, and he has been sitting in this position for eight years, no one can fault him at all.

Zhu Di wanted to promote him, but he couldn't find a suitable person to take over this position, so he had to continue working.

Zhu Zhanji actually admires such officials very much. He does not seek profit from cronies, but only lives by himself. He is a good official who can do things.

However, officials in Daming who can do things like this but don't form cliques are often not reused.

Like Huang Fu, he served as Minister of the Ministry of Industry in the first year of Yongle.But he was framed and left Beijing.

After nearly ten years of tossing outside, he returned to Beijing under the leadership of Zhu Zhanji and served as Minister of the Ministry of War.

Even after returning to the capital, he was still excluded, and most of his proposals in the court were rejected.In the court, he was often attacked by other civil servants who mentioned his corruption during the Ministry of Labor.

If it was in the past, Zhu Di probably would not have offended civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty for him alone, but he has also been influenced by Zhu Zhanji in recent years, and he pays special attention to officials who can do things.

Over the past few years, he has resisted all opinions and insisted on letting him serve as the transfer admiral of the Western Expedition, responsible for the preparation of the entire Great Ming Western Expedition.

And Gu Zuo was called Gu Duzuo because he was excluded by the civil servants who liked to flamboyant sex.It's just that his own job is Ying Tian Fu Yin, who is directly responsible to the emperor, even these civil servants have nothing to do with him.

After serving as Yingtian's governor for eight years, Gu Zuo has been living in the government office behind the government office, and has never bought property in the capital.

On the afternoon of the thirteenth, Gu Zuo, with his wife and four children, dressed in grand attire, boarded the government's carriage.

The concubine and her two children could only watch the carriage leave enviously. With their identities, it was impossible for them to enter the palace.

He shared a carriage with his three sons. Although they were a little nervous, they were more excited.Although they lived in the capital for so many years, it was the first time for them to enter the palace.

Thinking of his wife being out of her mind for several days, he couldn't help but smile.

The eldest son, Gu Cheng, is nineteen years old and has already been engaged, but he has not yet married in order to win the exam.If Qiu Wei can successfully enter high school this year, the Gu family will also be happy.

"Father, why did His Royal Highness specially invite father to a banquet, and let him bring his family into the palace?"

"Don't guess what His Highness means. As courtiers, it's enough for us to do our part well." The son's character is still a little impetuous, and with the fact that he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, he acts a little impulsively.Gu Zuo has high hopes for him, and he always teaches by precepts and deeds on weekdays.

Gu Cheng responded in a low voice, and couldn't help but ask: "Father, if this year... Qiu Wei doesn't go well... can my son take the examination of Habayashi School of Health?"

Gu Zuo shook his head and said, "Habayashi Guard School has many dignitaries. Although you can really learn some skills there, my father doesn't want you to take the road of joining the army."

Thinking that the salary in the military has improved now, and although the military and government have not been separated, civil servants have not had many opportunities to intervene in military affairs.Habayashi Weixue is the most important military academy for His Royal Highness, and the soldiers who come out there can at least serve as middle-level generals.

He sighed and said: "Even if you want to join the army, you should be admitted to Juren, or even a Jinshi. Only in this way, you will have a higher starting point for choosing that path. Now that the Ming Dynasty is peaceful all over the world, this year His Majesty will not be able to keep up with you." Now, there will be fewer and fewer battles in the future, and there will be no room for heroes!"

"Joining the army can go to Nanzhou or Xizhou. I'm going to find a big gold mine. I will honor my parents in the future."

Gu Zuo smiled and patted his head. "Then you have to practice martial arts hard, and you have to learn how to read characters. Habayashi Weixue also needs to be able to recognize characters. Otherwise, you won't even know how to use sextant."

"Ok!"

The second son, Gu Dan, is 14 years old this year and is going to enter the intermediate class of Habayashi Hyaku School this year.He was not very talented in literary studies, and was influenced by his grandson's voyages to the West. He clamored all day long to join the army and go to sea to discover new continents and new gold mines.

For this reason, he was often beaten by his mother, and his son was his heart, so how could he stand him screaming every day to go to sea...

However, Gu Zuo supported his idea. Since he has no talent in literature, he should practice martial arts and serve the country well.

He looked at his youngest son, Gu Qian, who was still young, and seeing his father looking at him, he asked weakly, "Daddy, do you have any delicious snacks in the palace?"

Gu Zuo couldn't help laughing, nodded and said: "You must be polite when you go, and I have met Your Highness. Your Highness told you to eat, and you can eat."

Gu Qian kowtowed a lot of New Year's money this year, and was taught some etiquette by his mother in the past few days.Can't help but ask: "Is there any lucky money for kowtow to His Highness?"

Gu Dan couldn't help laughing and cursing: "Little money fan, you've fallen into the eyes of money."

The family chatted and laughed, entered Chengtianmen, walked from the imperial city to Donghuamen.

Their carriages are not allowed to enter the palace, and get off at the Donghuamen Wengcheng.The men were examined by eunuchs.The female relatives are inspected by the maids. Not only ironware, but also written letters cannot be carried.

The family was a little unaccustomed to it, but at this moment, all their attention was attracted by the looming palace.
