"There are also many brave men in the local guards. When the Ministry of War is disbanded, don't all use it to farm land or build roads. Those young people should pay more attention to it. Now General Qi is forming the capital city defense army, and the Yulin Army is also

It needs to be expanded, and I need to form a new army. The young people in these guards are all good talents. The Ministry of War must contact the Metropolitan Governor's Office and do a good job of guiding them. Do you understand?"

After listening to Cui Jingrong's report, Zhu Youxiao made some instructions. Although the Ministry of War will no longer have the power to command and dispatch the army, it still has many responsibilities. It is the interface between the army and the local government, which is also very important.

, so even though the Governor's Office was rebuilt, Zhu Youxiao did not abandon the Ministry of War.

"Yes, I understand." Cui Jingrong responded.

"Although the Ministry of War has had its powers deprived of a lot, its responsibilities have not been reduced much. As the intermediary department between the Metropolitan Governor's Office and the Cabinet, its position is also very important. Especially soon, the Habayashi Army will enter Sichuan to quell the rebellion. The Ministry of War must

Providing food and grass along the road without delay."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cui Jingrong responded again.

"Yes." Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then came the next one, Huang Kezuan, a bachelor of the West Pavilion. He was previously the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and later he was in charge of similar affairs, but his affairs were not just these, including the establishment of the police department, household affairs, etc.

He is also responsible for the ministry's financial budget.

"Ahem!" Huang Kezuan stood up, cleared his throat, and made a long speech.

"The police department has basically been established. Its main responsibilities are to manage police stations and policemen in prefectures and counties across the country, maintain local security, detect various cases, and arrest thieves. Although it currently has only one subordinate agency, the Jingshi Police Department, it has been transferred to the police force since His Majesty

After recruiting a group of Yulin officers, prefectures and counties in Hebei Province are gradually rolling out the comprehensive construction of local police stations. This work is expected to be completed by the end of May, and they can start operations and perform their duties in June."

"The Ministry of Punishment is also carrying out the construction of new prisons. In addition to repairing the directly managed prisons, it is also actively urging Shuntian Prefecture and Hebei Province to build local prisons for the separation of the judicial system and the centralized supervision of criminals." Huang Kezuan said with a novelty in his mouth.

vocabulary, which he learned from the handwritten documents issued by the emperor, and is now used here.

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded straightly. The separation of the judicial system is the biggest move he has made against the civil servants so far. There must be no mistakes. If this work is done well, it can effectively divide powers, implement responsibilities, and strengthen local supervision.

control and improve the judicial environment for the people of Ming Dynasty.

In short, this is a political system reform that is beneficial and harmless. Of course, Zhu Youxiao himself could not figure out these details. He directly applied the judicial system of the later dynasties. There is no way, who knows best?

This is the system. Even though countless people have criticized the judicial system of later generations, in this era, it is still very advanced and sufficient.

"Among them, Director Luo Yangxing of Shuntian Prefecture Police Station has rich experience in handling cases and outstanding ability. He has put forward many valuable suggestions and made outstanding contributions in improving the police system. Police officers from various places in Shuntian Prefecture

The Bureau, under the vigorous promotion of Director Luo, was quickly implemented and has been running stably and well for more than a month, with remarkable results."

Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a while when his name suddenly appeared. Then he remembered that he seemed to have appointed Luo Sigong as the police chief of Shuntian Prefecture. At that time, he just wanted to deal with and manage the public security in Beijing. After all, he was a professional.

Jin Yiwei, who is 20 years old, has a good family background and is very clear about the activities of Zhong Zhong. Now it seems that what he has done is beyond his expectation, and he has become prosperous in this position.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said nothing. However, his attitude was the best way to show his attitude. Although he said nothing, several ministers understood and the emperor was very satisfied with Luo Yangxing.

"It seems that we should pay attention to this person." Several ministers wrote down this name in their hearts. They were born as ministers of the emperor's hidden residence, and now they are capable and do things beautifully to the emperor's satisfaction. The future future is limitless and limitless!

Huang Kezuan was still reading his work report with a serious face, as if he didn't see the emperor's expression, but judging from the slightly raised corners of his mouth and the flash of joy in his eyes, it was obvious that he was not as calm in his heart as he appeared.

.

"It seems that this trick is really effective." Huang Kezuan was secretly happy in his heart. Everything he said was true, and there was no trace of fraud. Luo Yangxing was indeed very capable and helped him solve many problems. But at the beginning,

, he has been hesitant to mention it in the report.

Finally, he thought about it for half a night, recalling the huge changes that the emperor had made to the court, and gritted his teeth and added this paragraph. The emperor returned from the expedition with amazing results, which shocked everyone's eyes. His status had been consolidated, and his authority was

It has been established. Judging from the emperor's behavior, I am afraid that major changes will be inevitable in the future.

And if he wants to survive this surging tide and leave enough shelter for his descendants, he will definitely need help from all parties. Based on his understanding of Luo Yangxing, he must be a rising star in the future officialdom.

Invest early.

Nowadays, mentioning him in front of the emperor is a kind of investment, but it is not enough, far from enough.

"Yunniang is now fifteen this year and can get married." Huang Kezuan was divided between two things. He was thinking about the emperor's report on work, while he was also thinking about his own thoughts.

“The financial budget of the Ministry of Revenue is not good enough. First, there has never been a budget before. Each ministry does not know where to start, and the Ministry of Revenue does not know how to audit and verify. Second, the ministry is now complicated, and His Majesty’s new system is mixed with the old affairs.

Being together and having overlapping responsibilities makes it impossible to make a reasonable budget.”

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly. He seemed a little impatient. The Ministry of Household Affairs had too many things to do. After all, it was not a professional financial department. It had no experience and systems to learn from. It was normal that the financial budget system could not be implemented for a while.

However, is it time for the Ministry of Household Affairs to be split up? This department is too huge. Its authority covers the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ministry of Farmland and Water Resources, Bureau of Land and Resources and other departments in later generations, which makes it very bloated.

The idea of ​​splitting the household department flashed through Zhu Youxiao's mind, and he recorded it, but he didn't say anything on the spot. He just said lightly, "Since it can't be implemented for the time being, let's take it slow."

Seeing that the emperor was not angry, Huang Kezuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He gently opened the page, reported on the grain supply, and then left.

Next is the best person in the cabinet, Wang Zuo, a scholar from Beige University. Wang Zuo was previously the Minister of Industry, and after joining the cabinet, he was naturally in charge of this aspect of affairs.

"This is the road construction plan drawn up by the Ministry of Industry this year." Wang Zuo drew lightly and took out a simple drawing, which roughly indicated each province. The center of the entire drawing was the capital, and then several lines started from the capital.

, extending outward.

"The Ministry of Industry is planning to build five cement highways this year, leading to Liaodong, Jiubian, Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi. The road construction of the Ministry of Industry is going very smoothly, but it consumes too much money and food is a little tight, and it cannot support too many people.

workers, so the progress of the project has been slowed down recently."

There was bad news when Wang Zuo came up, but Zhu Youxiao did not show any superficial dissatisfaction. He knew that the construction of this kind of basic public facilities was the most expensive investment. It cost a lot and was slow to produce results. You even invested some of it in it.

, not even a splash can be seen.

"I will solve the money and food issue as soon as possible. The progress of road construction must not be slowed down, or even accelerated. Moreover, I think Xiao Jingao's construction method is very inappropriate. Road construction does not necessarily have to be built from one end to the other.

Both sides can start construction at the same time, or even assign some road section tasks directly to local governments and counties, asking them to lay the foundation and smooth the road surface. When the vehicles and horses from the Ministry of Works arrive, they can just lay cement."

"Ah!" Wang Zuo was slightly surprised. He didn't expect the emperor to know so much about road construction. "Yes, Your Majesty, I will change the plan when I get back and speed up the road construction progress."

After the report on the affairs of the Ministry of Industry was completed, Wang Zuo talked about the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, "The official documents of the Ministry of Rites have been issued to various places to recommend academic officials. According to His Majesty's wishes, the number of candidates in each province has been increased by 30%, and the examination rooms have been planned. The new

The examination content for each subject has been divided and clearly issued to local prefectures and counties.”

There is nothing to say about the affairs of the Ministry of Rites. They are all the rules set by Zhu Youxiao before. There is nothing to change. They are all routine matters. After talking for a few words and letting the emperor understand, Wang Zuo automatically shut up and pushed it down.

The next one is Sun Juxiang, the censor of Zuodu.

"Your Majesty, the construction work of the Shuntian Prefecture and the Hebei Provincial Supervisory Branch is very smooth. Basically, every county has set up a supervisory branch." Sun Juxiang summarized all the work in one sentence.

"It's just that although the branches have been set up now, the censors in various places don't know how to carry out their work. The censors in the capital are all familiar with the judicial regulations issued by His Majesty, but they have no way of starting the specific work."

"The same is true for veteran ministers. The Dali Temple branches in the two places have been completed, but there are no affairs. The responsibilities of Dali Temple are clear, but the local officials have been shirk-passing and refused to give up their authority. At present, the magistrate is still responsible for hearing the case." Dali Temple Minister

Cao Yubian also complained, but as he spoke, his tone became indignant.

"Hmm." Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment, "Let the cabinet issue a formal document, repeat the judicial procedures, and ask the magistrates and counties in various places not to interfere with the operation of the proceedings. The wording must be stricter."

"Sun Aiqing, after the cabinet officially announces the decision, doesn't your procuratorate have the power of supervision? If any county magistrate dares to disobey the order, directly file a case and let the police investigate. After the evidence is conclusive, they will file a public prosecution and hand it over to the court for trial.

Then he was sent to prison to serve his sentence." Zhu Youxiao said seriously.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand." Sun Juxiang and Cao Yubian looked at each other, a hint of joy flashed in their eyes. How could they not understand the articles written by Zhu Youxiao? It is not something difficult to understand.

, what they were afraid of was the emperor's attitude. Now that the emperor's attitude was clear, they knew what to do.
Chapter completed!
