From 2:00 to 6:00 in the afternoon, Zhu Mai took female officer Liu Zhu, secretary Liu Shuying, Zheng Sen and dozens of female soldiers from Zhuque Camp to visit the ten yamen in turn.

Except for the four old departments of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Works, the other departments have always been in a state of being organized, with officials in a very shortage and not very clear about the duties.

But Zhu Ma felt that even if there were difficulties, the work should be carried out slowly and must not stop still.

Among the tribes, the Ministry of Rites is nominally respected, so Zhu Mai first came to the Ministry of Rites.

Zhu Mai did not inform her in advance, so she saw her coming with dozens of people. A clerk who had just walked out of the Ministry of Rites was quite surprised and immediately saluted, "See Your Majesty!"

"Flat."

After leaving two words, Zhu Ma's footsteps did not stop and entered the Ministry of Rites.

In the past, the overall shape of the six ministries' yamen was somewhat similar to the rectangular factory buildings in later generations, but they were just ancient buildings, and there were partitions in them according to different responsibilities.

In fact, it is similar to later generations of institutional offices composed of independent offices and office halls.

After all, if it were not for the outbreak of technology or the industrial revolution, Hao Guangming's later generations were only three or four hundred years apart from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

Therefore, when Zhu Meiyu walked in first, the scene he saw was a few middle- and low-level officials and a dozen officials sitting in front of tables and paddling.

Some are reading books, some are writing something leisurely, some are dozing off, and some are tasting tea, and they are in good health.

And because of the small number of people, the "office hall" seems quite empty.

Seeing this, Zhu Mai frowned.

Hao Guangming, who saw this scene through his mobile phone camera, couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that these people regard the Ministry of Rites as a 'nurturing home'."

When one or twenty officials of the Ministry of Rites saw Zhu Mai and others coming in, they were stunned at first. After two or three seconds, they rushed to the empty space in front of Zhu Mai, and bowed unevenly and said, "See Your Majesty!"

Hearing the movement, Huang Daozhou came out of a duty room. According to the rules before the Ming Dynasty, as a cabinet minister, he should work in the cabinet of the Meridian Gate and could not even hold a position as a minister.

But this regulation was in vain at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and there were many cabinet ministers who also served as ministers.

Zhu Meiyu had the intention of weakening the power of the cabinet ministers, so he simply let the cabinet ministers stay in the department heading up for the department, and when there is something to discuss, he went to the Meridian Gate Tower to have a meeting.

Huang Daozhou saluted Zhu Mai slowly and asked, "Why didn't the Ministry of Rites send someone to inform you?"

Zhu Mai almost laughed angrily and said, "If I had asked someone to inform you in advance, how could I see you so leisurely and leisurely in your health?"

Although this was the first time the officials of the Ministry of Rites heard such words, they also heard the sarcasm.

The officials were already bowing their heads after giving their tribute, but now they are even lower.

Huang Daozhou also looked ugly and frowned and asked, "Why did Your Majesty say this?"

He really doesn't understand why Zhu Mom was angry.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites all took office on time, sat honestly in the yamen, and did not make any mistakes.

"It seems that they don't think they have any problems." Hao Guangming said, "Some things need to be guided slowly after all, so you should explain them clearly."

Zhu Mai thought that she visited various ministries this time to understand the specific work of the ministries and provide guidance, so she sighed and asked, "Mr. Shizhai, what are the responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites?"

Huang Daozhou was knowledgeable and said without thinking when he heard this: "The Ministry of Rites was first established in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Sui Dynasty was one of the central institutions, in charge of the five rituals, the school and the imperial examination.

When we arrived in the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites not only established rituals, sacrifices, and fine food, and the four clean officials of the host and guest, but also under the Huitong Pavilion and the casting and sealing bureau."

The Huitong Pavilion is responsible for receiving foreign guests, while the casting and sealing bureau is responsible for casting all kinds of seals required by the imperial court.

These are common sense to the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Zhu Mai was not asking Huang Daozhou for common sense. Therefore, after listening to Huang Daozhou's words, she said: "Mr. Shizhai knows the responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites, but he thinks that the Ministry of Rites has done its part and all the officials have reached the point where there is nothing to do.

Now?"

Huang Daozhou said: "The Ministry of Rites was the most leisurely yamen among the six former ministries. Your Majesty also separated the power of the imperial examination and established the Ministry of Education. Now there is nothing to do."

Seeing Huang Daozhou complaining about the affairs of the Ministry of Education, Zhu Mai was so angry that she laughed.

She said: "Not to mention that the Ministry of Education is still under construction, there is no one, and the power has not been officially cut off from the courtesy.

Even if it has been divided, is there nothing else to do in the Ministry of Rites?

If I succeed to the throne, I should not only inform the country, but also inform the neighbors of the vassal states. This matter is not easy to slow down, so can I send someone away?"

Huang Daozhou wanted to say that he didn't do it because he was short of manpower, but looking at the officials around him who were caught by Zhu Mai, he opened his mouth and said nothing.

Seeing that Huang Daozhou stopped saying a word, Zhu Ma knew that he had realized his mistake, so he said, "Let's do your own things, I will talk to Mr. Shizhai about something else."

All the officials of the Ministry of Rites returned to their respective positions as if they were amnesty and pretended to be busy.

Zhu Ma knew that it was impossible for these people to change their style for a moment, and they didn't even know how to change it, so they stopped talking.

She walked straight to the pay room at Huangdaozhou.

All the yamen of various departments are semi-open - three walls, one side is open.

After Zhu Mei went in, she sat on the only chair without hesitation and said, "Go and bring a chair for Mr. Shizhai."

A female soldier went to do it.

After Huang Daozhou sat down, Zhu Ma said casually: "I know that the Ministry of Education has been cut off from the etiquette, and Mr. Shizhai does not agree, but this is a change that must be made in order to better cultivate talents.

The establishment of the Ministry of Education is not a matter of one day or one night, but it may take half a year to form it.

I hope Mr. Shizhai can lead the Ministry of Rites to manage education as well as possible. It should be noted that talents are the foundation of the prosperity of the country."

Huang Daozhou was indeed dissatisfied with the etiquette part of the Ministry of Education, but he did not ignore education because of this.

He also knew that education is very important to the country, and he was also very pleased with Zhu Ma's attitude of attaching importance to education.

So he said sincerely: "Your Majesty, in fact, there is no right to educate. Now the Ministry of Rites can only manage the matter of education.

The jurisdiction over schools and academic affairs in various places was handed over to the inspector's censor during the reign of Zhengtong, and the imperial envoys in the north and south capitals, and the provincial governments had

Deputy envoy, assistant minister.”

Although Huang Daozhou's tone was sincere, he was still quarrel.

The Ministry of Rites manages scientific examinations and actually manages schools, and the academic affairs are to promote school officials. So Zhu Ma asked the Ministry of Rites to tell the Ministry of Rites that he had found the wrong person in the school?

Not.

Because in Zhu Ma's plan, the Censorate also needs to make major changes.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty's school officials were imperial envoys in the two capitals, and were also under the jurisdiction of the Censorate Office in the local area. They were actually under the jurisdiction of the Censorate and could also go directly to the central government... The government can be said to be messy, and it should have been changed long ago

.

On the other hand, Hao Guangming heard this and gave Zhu Moe a suggestion.

After listening, Zhu Ma said to Huang Daozhou: "Mr. Shizhai should know that the intelligence of the Censorate has been greatly changed, and the fact that the school officials are not actually under the jurisdiction of the Censorate.

In this way, I later issued an intention to establish the School of Education and Management School of Education in Zhili and various provinces.

As for the Department of Education, it is temporarily hanged in the Ministry of Rites and will be managed by Mr. Shizhai. How about it?"

Most officials of the Ming Dynasty knew about the issue of the academic system. However, no one had to deal with the matter in the past involving the Censorate, the local Censorate, the Cabinet, the Imperial Power, etc.

Now that we have experienced the chaotic times in the late Ming Dynasty, the previous constraints have been lost, or they have become loose, and Zhu Mei has great authority, which can easily solve the problem of the system of learning.

So, Huang Daozhou thought for a while, and his old eyes lit up and praised sincerely: "Your Majesty's move is the most appropriate, I will accept the order."

At the end, Huang Daozhou stood up and bowed to Zhu Ma.

Seeing that Huang Daozhou, the minister who was accusing others with his strength, Zhu Mai sighed and felt a little accomplished.

Then she talked about the real important things.

"The development of later generations is fundamental to science, and scientific development is based on mathematics. Therefore, I hope that after the establishment of the Tixue Department, it can promote mathematics in various places."
