Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

Xu rolled up her sleeves and was ready to sort out the affairs in the princess's mansion.

Zhang Xin had no choice but to take over the palace affairs ahead of schedule.

In the evening, I met with Wu Shanggong to learn about the current situation.

The next day, people from six bureaus and one department were called to a meeting.

"You are all the people who were used in the palace. I am new here. If there is anything I cannot do, just tell me.

Today we just meet and say hello.

Everyone will go outside to re-record the roster.

Whether you are in charge or doing menial work, it is necessary.

For those who didn't come, people who are familiar with the event will fill in their names, and they will also bring people over later to take fingerprints.

The heads of each department and bureau are responsible for specific tasks. Everyone is literate and should write a charter and submit it.

This charter clearly states the number of people in each department and bureau, what tasks each person is in charge of, what problems they face, and what ideas they have.

I also brought some people here from the capital.

Previously, they were trained by old men who had left the palace. They were of all ages and backgrounds.

Originally, she was planning to be the housekeeper of the palace.

This is a good opportunity now. You can lead them in different departments.

If you pass the exam, you will become a female official. If you fail, you will just run errands.

Besides, there is no need for so many people in this palace. There are places to go.

I plan to release some of them by the end of this year.

Do you understand? "

"Yes, Your Highness. I understand, Your Highness."

"Everyone go back to your positions. Concubine Hu stays."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The people in the palace have always been very well-behaved and they leave quietly.

Zhang Xin took Hu Shang Gong back to their temporary residence quickly.

It was time for everyone to sit down facing each other.

Looking at the familiar face of Lady Hu, Zhang Xin felt very emotional.

Zhang Xin is also very familiar with the Sixth Bureau of the capital and the people in the Sixth Bureau.

In her previous life, she had dealt with these people for more than thirty years.

These female officials in the palace are similar to Princess Nankang.

Even though they were all female officials with high ranks, and their ranks were not low, they still could not stand up.

During the Yongle Dynasty, she was squeezed out by the eunuchs and her presence in the palace was extremely low.

If we have to make a metaphor, it is like a scholar meeting a literate soldier.

In addition, no one in Jiangnan was willing to send their daughters to the palace, so there was no successor. By the Xuande period, the six bureaus and one department were in name only.

Among them, Hu Shanggong is considered to be a relatively tough one.

If it weren't for the strong control of Hu Shanggong, the actual head of the Sixth Bureau, the female officials in the palace would have been squeezed out by the eunuchs raised by their father-in-laws during the Yongle Dynasty and would have had no place to stand.

However, later on, Queen Hu, the younger sister of the current Concubine Hu, entered the palace. In order to avoid suspicion, Concubine Hu asked to leave the palace.

As a result, the six bureaus and one department became obscure in the palace, and then gradually declined.

“Are there only these few people left now?”

Zhang Xin didn't sigh for too long. He gestured to roll up his sleeves and spread out the paper while asking questions.

If the six bureaus and one department were fully staffed, there should be three hundred people.

But Zhang Xin saw that there were only about a hundred people.

Let’s start with replenishment.

While my father-in-law's inner study has not been prepared yet, I'd better occupy the position first, which will make it much easier to operate later.

"Your Highness. There are only 138 people in the six bureaus and one department now. All of them are on the list, and there are no spares."

"What did mother say?"

"Your Highness, the Queen said before that she does not plan to select female officials from Jiangnan anymore, and will discuss it after the relocation of the capital is finalized."

"Which game is most short of players?"

"Your Highness, it's almost the same."

"Well, I don't like nonsense. Just say it once at the beginning, Your Highness."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"I called you here to tell you a few things. Please write them down."

"Yes, Your Highness, you say."

"First, I brought two hundred girls from the capital. I'm sure Consort Hu had seen them when I settled them.

These people are big, small and from different backgrounds. They have learned the rules for more than a year, but they haven't mastered them yet, so they can do what they want.

You can ask the heads of each department to select the available ones and fill up the number of people in each department.

Don’t force yourself to fill the spot if you can’t. If there is a vacancy, just leave it vacant and report it.

There are few people in the palace now, so it’s not a big deal.

All the remaining ones that are not picked up belong to you.

Set up a lecture hall and ask each department to send people to continue teaching.

Second, Yao Niang was originally a female doctor in the palace. She brought a dozen female doctors with her and assigned them to the Shangshi Bureau. Except for the Siyao, Dianyao and Zhangyao, the rest were all female doctors.

These are all useful.

If there is anything wrong with the people in the palace, you can go to them for help.

Don't be afraid of being kicked out and avoid seeing a doctor.

After a while, when everything is sorted out, all the people in the palace will have to be checked by the female doctor, even if they don't take the initiative to see the doctor.

Third, there is no one in the harem right now, so you should meet with the people from the Eunuch Bureau.

A few palaces were tidied up, and the rest that were not used were directly closed.

A list was also made for the extra staff who were originally guarding the palace to see whether they should leave the palace or how to resettle them.

It's the same here in front, there's no need to keep so many people.

Last but not least, is there any good food in the Imperial Food Bureau? The Emperor and the Empress are not used to the cooking of the Imperial Household Department. "

"Yes, Your Highness. The female doctor and the female official will arrange for someone to take over. As for the Imperial Food Bureau, they can only bring in some snacks and sweet soup."

"There are only a few people in this family, so we can just build a small kitchen. It's not difficult to make four dishes and a soup. If you don't know how, I'll send someone to teach you."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"There's nothing special on my side. Is there anything else that you don't understand, Lady Hu?"

"Yes, Your Highness, I dare to ask, how do you release someone from the palace?"

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot. Wu Shanggong."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"I have discussed this matter with Wu Shanggong before. Please tell Hu Shanggong my thoughts and see if there is anything missing. It is a good opportunity for you two to catch up on the past. Go ahead."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After everyone left, Zhang Xin continued to write and draw at the desk.

Now that I have the chance to start over, I can finally start to show my skills.

The fairies said that the rise and fall of dynasties are almost inevitable. The key is just how long they last and whether they have made any achievements.

If the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty had not been assassinated by people with ulterior motives.

The continuation of the Ming Dynasty will surely be prosperous and flourishing.

Moreover, during the thirty years of the founding emperor's reign, the six major ministries and five major government offices that were gradually improved had their necessity.

The fairies only spoke briefly and did not give the answers directly to Zhang Xin's ears.

Zhang Xin came back and thought about it carefully, and found that it was exactly as people said.

The term "six major departments and five major officials" is also very vivid and clear at a glance.

Six Ministries: Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of War, Ministry of Justice, and Ministry of Works.

The five major ones are: civil officials, military officials, eunuchs, female officials, and officials with titles (members of the royal family).
