There are a total of 982 orphans and abandoned babies adopted by the shelter.

More than 200 people have been contacted by their families and are ready to take them back. The rest have either lost their parents or are abandoned babies since they were young.

Yuan Jin picked out fourteen babies under one year old, one hundred children around two or three years old, and two hundred children over five years old, and gave them to Qu Ruyun to take back to another courtyard in the city.

She doesn't usually live in the palace, unless there is an emergency and she needs to work overtime.

"How to raise so many children?" Qu Ruyun was puzzled, "Does Your Majesty want to train them to be secret guards or loyal ministers? The village outside Xingcheng has been used as a training base for newcomers over the years. It is better to send them there.

"

"Just stay in Shangjing. They will be China's loyal ministers and successors in the future." Yuan Jin patted her on the shoulder and said sincerely, "I will die sooner or later. If you train and teach early, you can help me a lot.

.”

The sea transportation will be opened. After the sea transportation is opened, overseas technology and ideological trends will flow in, and the people she personally leads will accept new things faster than those who have been receiving ideological education from this world.

"Okay, I'll try my best to arrange it." When Qu Ruyun heard her say this, he knew that the days to come would not be as peaceful as they were in the North.

The remaining children continue to be placed in the shelter of the Shangjing Civil Affairs Bureau. All children over the age of three are required to attend classes, learn skills, and practice martial arts.

After completing the formalities and leaving the shelter, Yuan Jin went back to the other courtyard to rest for a while, then returned to the palace to handle government affairs.

There is not much money in Dasheng's treasury, but the princes, princesses and the nobles have an astonishing amount of money. Memorials on the development of people's livelihood plans in various provinces are coming one after another.

Based on her priorities, she called Song Yunce to settle the accounts, and then transferred a batch of money from the treasury to the poorer provinces, requesting special funds for their use.

After finishing these tasks, Yuan Jin took out the drawings of sewerage channels, sewage treatment sedimentation tanks, and purification tanks based on the situation in Shangjing and handed them to the prefect of Shangjing. He asked him to immediately arrange for people to start construction.

In the North, she was used to having to flush the toilet directly, but when she arrived in Beijing, she still had to smell the strange stench every day, which was unbearable.

The main reason why she didn't want to live in the palace was that it was inconvenient to go to the toilet.

Living outside, it is easier to renovate the toilet.

If there were excavations everywhere in the palace, the people in Beijing would think that something big had happened.

"There have been floods in the south of the Yangtze River for four consecutive years. I have recruited some capable folk who are proficient in water control and have arranged for them to go over and start building canals and dams." Song Yunce handed the memorials from several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River to Yuan Jin, "The rebel army confiscated the emperor's relatives and relatives.

A small part of the family property has been distributed to the poor people, and most of it has been accounted for and collected in the treasury of various prefectures and counties. This time, it is more than enough to build canals and roads, and more money will be spent on shipping along the coast."

"I read the memorials sent back from the coast. The previous dynasty has been clamoring for maritime transportation for several years, but no ships have been built to go to sea." Yuan Jin said while reviewing the memorials, "Tell the people in the caravan to pay more attention. If you encounter

If there are craftsmen who can build ships, you can hire them to build ships at a high price."

The size of the caravan in his hands has reached a certain level. Part of Sui State's land is close to the sea, and they should have large ships that can go to sea.

In recent years, she has not always stayed in the North, but traveled around.

The various land and ocean regions in the world have not changed. What has changed is only the name of the dynasty and the development progress of the technology tree. With the development of science and technology, the Java island next door may be like the history of the underworld, peeking at the land of China.

If you want to build a ship, you have to build a ship with a higher level than theirs, which will directly defeat them.

"I do know some craftsmen. There is no need to go to Sui State to hire people. These craftsmen are all on the coast. If you order them to be prepared for shipping, I will send a letter to inform them." Song Yunce's eyes were full of smiles, "I also have the drawings."

Since he didn't know where his sister would go, in the previous world, in addition to being a lawyer and her agent, he had in-depth study of professional knowledge in various disciplines.

But I know nothing about how officials are promoted and how to supervise them.

She was only 35 years old when she left, but he lived to be 80 years old in that world, and his grandmother did not leave until Lin Youyou became a grandmother.

Here, whatever she wants to do, he will try his best to help her achieve it.

"Where did you get the blueprints? When did you prepare them?" Yuan Jin raised his head in surprise, "Want to build ships in Sui State and go to sea?"

Song Yunce hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

Sister A cannot be allowed to know that he also knows modern knowledge. She has no memory of the previous world, and she finds out that he has been following her. After leaving the world, she will return to Wangchuan and ask Po Meng to stop him.

"There is no need to go to Sui State to build ships now. We can build them ourselves." Yuan Jin's eyes returned to the memorial and his tone was brisk, "Build a shipyard first and build a large ship that can go to sea to other countries. We also have to consider the encounters at sea.

An attack defense system available to pirates."

"I haven't thought about this. I'll ask the craftsmen to repair the drawings later and send them to you for review." Song Yunce curled his lips, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back to the Finance Department first?"

My sister thinks about things more carefully than he does.

The drawings he drew did not consider the installation of weapon systems. In modern times, China has coast guard ships for escort, and there are almost no defensive weapon systems on cargo ships.

"Go." Yuan Jin didn't even raise his head.

The left and right sides of the Hall of Supreme Harmony are the offices of various departments. Major decisions are still made through meetings to discuss whether to implement them, just like the modern model she knows.

After approving the memorials sent by the provinces, Shen Rang hurried in and said that the girls who went to Beijing brothels did not accept the arrangements of the civil affairs office of the government and had to learn crafts and earn wages to live.

A large group of girls blocked the door of the government office, and they couldn't be beaten or scolded.

When he came back from the imperial camp, he was shocked to see the situation at the gate of the government office.

"Have all the girls gone?" Yuan Jin got up and went to get the account books from various places that Song Yunce had sent, and put them together on the desk. "Are there still people who say that I am a tyrant who ignores etiquette and allows women to study and become officials?"

Shen Rang:......

Did Ajie install ears outside the palace? She knows everything when others scold her.

"It would be strange if those people who were deprived of their property didn't scold me." Yuan Jin didn't take it seriously, "Don't worry about it, you send a guard to tell the prefect and the Public Security Bureau and ask them to follow the rules of the North.

Catch the troublemakers and find out those who instigated them and punish them."

During this uprising, the aristocratic families were unable to fight back after being beaten by her, and the royal family and relatives fled in panic. All the princes, princesses, and princes are now ordinary people. With the family property gone and the slaves gone, livelihoods have become a problem.

She doesn't want to kill them, she just wants them to take a good look at the changes in China.

What happened today is probably because those ministers thought that if they gave up their jobs, the country would not be able to continue running, and they became restless after being defeated by her.

They made trouble for ordinary people, who only remembered that she divided fields and houses and gave them money to make a living. They didn't care whether she was a boy or a girl and wouldn't help. So they had no choice but to find girls in brothels, because they were the best to handle.

Girls in brothels have always been looked down upon and disliked by others. Even if they receive the same identity card as ordinary people, it is difficult for them to be accepted.

I don't know how many of these officials have gone out to have fun, and it was extremely easy to control them in the past.

"I will send my bodyguard to deliver the message right now." Shen Rang relaxed, turned around and went out to tell his bodyguard to deliver the message, and soon returned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"The arrangements for the guards in Beijing have been made. Here are the time, password, and number of people to change guards." Shen Rang took out the defense book for going to Beijing and handed it to her, "One division is stationed outside the city, and inside the city are my escort brigade and your women. Guard camp.”

There are not many guards in the city. The Public Security Department of the Public Security Bureau is responsible for the security of various areas. The palace guards have escort brigades and escort battalions.

"The arrangement is good." Yuan Jin read it and put it aside. "The training in the camp outside the city cannot be interrupted. The Sui Kingdom and the Tatars are not peaceful masters. It will be a matter of time for the snipe and the clam to fight. If we want to be fishermen, we must Make preparations early.”

The Tatars may have a superficial understanding of their strength, and the Sui Kingdom does not have much information. If the two countries fight, they will first devour the Sui Kingdom.

There is another important reason. She has not yet mastered the garrison in the east, which is a huge mine.

Now that the country's political power has changed, the military power is still in the hands of the former generals, so she can't sleep peacefully. By going to war with the Sui Kingdom, she can divide and reorganize the army controlled by the former generals into An army that you can control.

"Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as I get back." Shen Rang's eyes lit up.

If they were to attack the Sui Kingdom, he might be able to become the commander-in-chief.

Yuan Jin smiled and continued to read the account book.

After Shen Rang reported on the deployment of defense in Beijing, he chatted with her for a few more words and then turned around and returned to the National Defense Department.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony fell silent.

Yuan Jin finished flipping through the account books and handed them to the confidential female official beside him for filing. He walked to the palace gate and looked at the sky in the distance.

The dispute between the Sui Kingdom and the Tatars has become more and more serious in the past two years. Maybe one day they will send troops to attack the Tatars to obtain more resources, maybe even this year or next year.

In the view of Emperor Sui, Dasheng had just experienced the Three Kings' Rebellion, the treasury was empty, and the people in the country were in dire straits. Even if they went to fight the Tatars, China would not have any spare power to fight them.

She can fight, but there will be many problems after being beaten.

The original plan was to capture Dasheng, so she had trained people from the beginning, and now she just happened to have them all available. To conquer Sui Kingdom, she needed at least 2,000 officials who could control the situation and get things done.

There is no shortage of money or soldiers, but there is a shortage of grassroots officials and senior officials with management skills.

It's March now. If the two countries also choose to go to war after winter, they will be able to select them in more than half a year.

It's just a newly selected person, so don't worry about it.

At the moment, we can only plan like this first, select people and send them to Sui Kingdom, but they can't do what they want to do secretly.

But she still couldn't relax.

It is easier to defend a country than to defend it. Although those who follow her are rewarded based on their merits, most people's purpose is to hope that they can live well. With a powerful position, the family will inevitably come to them and ask for their help.

She had just defeated a wealthy family, and she didn't want to raise another group.

This was also her original intention to establish an official supervision department after taking over Beijing. The legislation for officials is almost ready at the moment and will be officially promulgated in a while.

Fortunately, they didn't completely know who she had in her hands.

The only people who knew the most clearly were Song Yunce, Shen Rang, Lian Xin, and Qu Ruyun. The four of them were the first to look at her, how she had taken down Deng City from the village, and later taken down the entire Northland, with their swords pointed at Dasheng.

Jiang Ping, Fang Yu and Liang were guarding them. They only knew that she had the Cold Arrow Battalion which later became the Cold Arrow Brigade. She didn't know that Shen Rang also had an escort brigade. The training methods were different from the Cold Arrow Brigade and the weapons they were equipped with were different.

Only Zhao Yingwu and the garrison on the city knew about the artillery. They knew nothing about how to build it.

Yuan Jin quietly sorted out the current problems, turned around and went back to diagnose the pulse and prescribe prescriptions for each province.

The economic foundation is as important as military power.

The common people just want to have enough to eat at the moment, and policies related to official recruitment and imperial examinations will be promulgated later. Those who continue to dance and want to restore the past glory and restore the country will be punished twice if they don't stop once.

…

The incident of the brothel girls blocking the Yamen and causing trouble was all resolved before nightfall. The several madams who instigated the trouble, as well as the merchants and dignitaries who had previously run the brothel, were all thrown into jail and all their property was confiscated.

The girl who was taken advantage of was also punished and sent to a solitary home for ten days.

Lian Xin came back from other provinces and looked at the girls who went to Beijing's brothels. She didn't want any of them. Instead, she wanted the remaining children in the asylum.

"Why don't you want girls who go to brothels in Beijing? There are more literate people than in other places, and some of them were officials' ladies before they ended up in brothels." Yuan Jin was quite surprised by her choice.

"Your Majesty, all the officials in charge of the Discipline Department must undergo rigorous physical training, learn laws, new policies, and learn how to supervise these officials." Lian Xin couldn't hold back her anger, "But you don't know, people like those who go to Beijing and are from high school Girls from brothels are so annoying."

After she finished speaking, she took a breath and told her exactly how the girls reacted when she went to choose someone.

The girls who go to brothels in Beijing say that they are prostitutes and not prostitutes. In fact, the madam has ordered them to choose whether to sell their bodies or not. At most, they are asked to pick the customers they like. At this point, they actually think that finding someone to marry is more important than getting anything. Good training camp.

Not only that, but there are also people with good backgrounds. What's the point of being a female official? She has served many dignitaries. When the prince sees her, he has to give her some face and let her go through hard training. He can't do it. .

Over the years, they have banned hundreds of brothels, but every girl who comes out of a brothel is grateful to have an identity card and can open a household of her own.

Only these girls who go to Beijing regard themselves as their masters.

"The girl who said these words must have come from Yanchun Pavilion." Yuan Jin listened to her nagging, and the corners of his lips curved, "If you don't want it, don't want it. They are free people now. It's up to them to do whatever they want. Tell the Civil Affairs Bureau and if any of them need help, try to help."

Yanchun Pavilion is the largest brothel in Beijing. The oldest girl is only eighteen years old and the youngest is eleven years old.

Their treatment is different from other girls in brothels, and it is normal for them to look down on the work arranged by the Civil Affairs Bureau. After all, Shangjing has just begun to ban brothels and prohibit prostitution, so they have some money to spare.

After a long time, you should know that living without any skills is not easy.

"It is true that they are all girls from Yanchun Pavilion. The other girls from the brothel were selected from Yanchun Pavilion and have been arranged to work in the shop and workshop we opened." Lian Xin helplessly spread her hands, "I didn't know that the brothel was also divided into

High or low."

If she hadn't been working with the eldest lady, she wouldn't have known that there were all kinds of people in this world.

"It's normal. You will see more people you don't want to see in the future." Yuan Jin took her speechless look into his eyes and couldn't help but laugh again, "Go, I have prepared the textbooks for the children to use in class, and teach them well.

.”

Lian Xin accepted the order and retreated.

Lian Xin has nearly a thousand people in her hands, most of whom are girls rescued from brothels. They set up shops everywhere to collect information. They can also supervise officials everywhere.

Previously, this team was in the dark, but now it has become the official discipline department that supervises officials. Putting it in the open is also a way for her to express her sincerity to her subordinates.

In fact, Song Yunce still has a team in hand. She has a specific list here, and he will report any changes to her.

She had no intention of setting up a factory to make things difficult for officials day and night. She deliberately did not mention it as an invisible deterrent.

The alternation of light and dark forces can make all the officials who were trained and promoted during the period after the founding of the country dare not have any second thoughts or think of fooling her.

As long as it can be stabilized for ten years, China's officialdom ecology, education system, and ideology will take shape.

…

Major events in the junior high school have been basically decided, and the dates for official recruitment examinations have also been set.

All examination questions are jointly set by various departments, and finally submitted to the Department of Education for review and approval, and then sent to Yuanjin for final review. This is the first official recruitment examination after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is separate from the imperial examination. Candidates from each province can take the examination in their own provinces and prefectures.

For the county examination, there is no need to go to Beijing. There is no restriction on men and women.

The exam lasts for three days, and the subjects to be tested are different every day. You can go home after the exam, and there is no need to stay in the examination hall all the time.

This is a pattern that has never happened before, and the whole country is extremely shocked and confused.

There are even rumors in the market that this is a superficial examination deliberately created by the new emperor in order to arrange his own personnel.

He also said that allowing women to serve as officials is doomed to destroy the country.

"Zhao Yuanjin went too far. She even did not allow the noble daughter of the former dynasty to take the official recruitment examination." Zhao Shulan, dressed in commoner clothes, sat beside her grandmother's bed and complained, "Grandma, can you ask someone to give her a message? My daughter has been studying since she was a child.

Literacy, let her take the test too."

The old lady lowered her eyes and said nothing.

She has not seen her since her eldest granddaughter became emperor, so how can she entrust someone with her message?

"Forget it, I don't think she regards you as her grandmother." The more Zhao Shulan thought about it, the more angry she became, and she left Zhao's house gloomily.

The sign of the General's Mansion has been removed and the house has shrunk. They are now just the Zhao family, not the natal family of the new emperor nor relatives of the general.

When Zhao Shulan returned home, she saw that Xiao Mingchu was reading the official recruitment examination notice, and couldn't help but ridiculed, "Why, you want to take the examination too."

Xiao Mingchu ignored her, took the notice and went back to his room, closing the door hard.

He is now under house arrest in this house, with nothing but life, no power, and no servants to serve him.

Zhao Yuanjin, who was used as a pawn by him and wanted to marry back as a decoration, is now the king of a country.

Her strategies for governing the country may seem absurd, but they are actually the most effective.

As her defeated general, he was once angry and annoyed, but now he just wanted to see how far she could go.

…

Rumors about the exam appeared in Beijing and spread to the palace in an instant.

"As long as the old ministers die, it will be difficult for newcomers to take office. It is true that women will destroy the country when they are in office. Because I am a woman and I use women as officials, I will prosper and destroy the country." Yuan Jin watched the flying pigeons from all over the place delivering messages.

According to folk rumors, someone from the Confidential Affairs Department was notified to reply.

Officials from various places were ordered to publicly publicize the importance of the exam, and notices were sent to all villages and towns, and then publicity personnel stationed in various places were used to promote the formality and fairness of the exam among the people.

"These old ministers and relatives of the emperor in the capital city should not be kept." The director of the Department of Law snorted, "They should be killed to serve as a warning to others."

"Where did the rumors in Shangjing City come from? The Public Security Bureau really needs to investigate." Yuan Jin frowned, "Killing people and silencing them is the worst policy, leaving them with nothing to say is the best policy."

"What your Majesty said is that you will not kill them. You will also let them watch the exam end successfully, and see that China can still manage it well without following their set of rules. It will make them angry." The Secretary of the Civil Affairs Department looked disdainful, "

The livelihood of these veterans has become a problem, and they think about restoring the country every day."

The other officials in the palace couldn't help but complain.

Two months later, the official recruitment examination ended amid controversy. Candidates from all provinces passed the examination. These candidates were both men and women, but there were not many women.

The list was quickly sent to Beijing.

Based on the candidate files and answer scores provided by each province, Yuanjin notified each province to approve the recruitment and arranged for them to work at the grassroots level.

This is the first exam and she needs to arrange it. For the official recruitment exams held every two years in the future, each province can retain candidates who pass the exam based on actual needs.

After the announcement of the final exam results, the rumors were quietly put to rest.

Several people who spread rumors in Beijing were imprisoned in a solitary hospital for half a month. People in the previous dynasty once again had a new understanding of Yuan Jin's methods.

After the official recruitment examination, government-run schools and medical schools were opened. Just like in the North, all men and women could go to school.

Half a year later, all laws and policies were formulated and promulgated, various reconstructions of Shangjing were completed, and the city took on a completely new look.

The progress of infrastructure construction in various places is uneven, and most of them have achieved the initial goals.

In response to the situation that floods or droughts in several provinces in the Central Plains would result in large numbers of deaths, Yuan Jin allocated money from the treasury to build aqueducts and set up wind-powered waterwheels in drought-prone areas.

In places that are prone to flooding when floods occur, many canals have been opened, and these canals are networked into reservoirs under construction.

Due to the lack of large-scale machinery and equipment, the completion of these projects will take at least two to three years.

Aiming at the possibility of disasters during construction, she ordered all provinces to set up disaster shelters and immediately organize people to evacuate once signs of a disaster were discovered.

Before the Double Ninth Festival, envoys from the Tatar and Sui Kingdoms sent letters of credence, intending to establish good relations and trade with China.

Yuan Jin hosted a banquet, negotiated some commercial and trade agreements with the two countries on resource exchange, and then arranged for officials from the Foreign Affairs Department to lead the envoys of the two countries on a tour to Beijing.

"Sui and Tatar may go to war after winter." Song Yunce handed Yuan Jin the secret message sent by the spies who had returned to Beijing with the envoys of the two countries. "The two countries each stationed troops on the border, and every household on the border

Gathering grain."

"It's a good thing that they are fighting." After reading the secret letter, Yuan Jin turned around and ordered the confidential female official beside him, "Inform the directors of each department to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to hold an emergency meeting."

The confidential female officer took the order and stood down.

"One more thing." Song Yunce took out another secret letter and handed it to her, "The King of Chu has contacted the general of the Eastern Border Army. It seems that he wants to restore the country."

Yuan Jin opened the secret letter and read it, then smiled and said, "I was worried about not being able to take over the Eastern Garrison. I have to thank him for giving me such a good opportunity."

There are not many troops stationed along the coast, and all of them were incorporated when they rebelled.
Chapter completed!
