"One thousand yuan...that's one thousand taels? Give it to me?"

Although Yang Ziyun's brother Yang Qilong is a corrupt official, his family property is at least more than one million taels. But how many years has Yang Qilong been prosperous? And all his money is in the Ming Dynasty. There is no way to send it to Pangezhuang outside Beijing!

Therefore, this girl Yang Ziyun has never lived a wealthy life. Before she saw her brother's one hundred thousand taels of gold, she had never seen more than one hundred taels of cash.

And Yang Qilong, the elder brother, never thought about "riching" his sister. Although he had already started preparing a dowry for her, he would have to wait until she got married.

So Miss Yang's current private house only has more than ten taels of silver... Now Zhu Heji has smashed out a thousand silver yuan in one go. Of course, the eldest daughter's family is a little dizzy.

However, she was not completely brainless and did not dare to accept it immediately. Instead, she set her sights on her eldest brother Yang Qilong.

And what can Yang Qilong do?

He still doesn't understand Zhu Heji's thoughts? His sister will be "Yang Guifei" soon!

How good is this?

"Take it, this is a reward from the king," Yang Qilong smiled, "I still haven't thanked the king."

When Yang Ziyun heard what his brother said, he didn't push it out. He happily bowed to Zhu Heji. After thanking him, he walked lightly towards the hall... Zhu Heji

Looking at her back, he showed a satisfied smile.

This girl walks very fast, she must have a pair of long, white legs, and her feet must not have been bound!

Footbinding these days is not as crazy as it was in the late Qing Dynasty. Only the eldest ladies in the houses of the landlord class and scholar-bureaucrats who have no way out of the house would bind their feet.

And Zhu Heji, a former Confucian saint, was even more unequivocal in his opposition to footbinding. Not only did his own wives and concubines all have natural feet, but he also issued a Confucian edict through the Great Scholars Conference, prohibiting footbinding - because according to the research of the Great Scholars Conference, Confucius and his mother

Mencius and her mother did not bind their feet, and their wives also did not bind their feet. Therefore, foot binding must not be in line with Confucian etiquette and law. It is an "indecent" behavior and must be banned!

Moreover, after Zhu Heji's army took control of the Jiangnan area where there were more "three-inch golden lotus", Zhu Dasheng issued an edict, starting from the first year of the Ming Dynasty's supervision of the country, prohibiting officials from marrying foot-bound women as their first wives.

Zhu Heji, as the king of the imperial state and a Confucian saint, could not take the lead in violating his own decrees.

If Miss Yang had small feet, she would have to be pulled down... But looking at her running speed, Zhu Heji felt relieved.

Zhu Heji withdrew his gaze from Yang Ziyun's back and glanced at Yang Qilong again. Seeing Yang Qilong's surprised expression, he was completely relieved... This performance was definitely that of a loyal minister!

Thinking of this, Zhu Heji smiled and said to Yang Qilong: "To raise a dragon, Han Feizi once said: The prime minister must be from the state department, and the strong generals must be sent from the army! This is also the criterion for appointing prime ministers and selecting generals in the new Ming Dynasty. You are now

You have already reached the position of Zuo Fu Zheng Military Advisor, which is the highest military position. If you go up further, you will become the Prime Minister. But you have never served as the head of a state department, so the Gu family wants you to serve as the governor of a province locally.

You don’t have to go too far, just go to Yangzhou and serve as the governor of Jiangbei!"

Due to the active contraction of the Qing army, the Battle of Jiangbei went very smoothly. Su Yong, who sent troops first, has now crossed the Huaihe River and recovered a large area of ​​territory west of the canal, south of the Huaihe River, and east of the Dabie Mountains. Although Zhao Hongkui's army sent more troops

It was late, but it had been devastated all the way. After capturing the Jiangbei camp of the Qing army in Guazhoubu, it went all the way north along the canal, and now it has reached Huai'an Prefecture.

At this point, most of the southern Zhili territory except Huaibei was now firmly under the control of Zhu Heji's new Ming Dynasty.

However, Zhu Heji did not want to restore the original organizational structure of Southern Zhili - the original Southern Zhili was too big and could be divided into several provinces.

Therefore, Zhu Heji discussed with the two prime ministers Zhuge Sanhe and Yu Zhongxian, and planned to use the two provinces of Jiangbei and Jiangnan divided by Kangxi. With the Yangtze River as the boundary, the south was directly controlled by the eleven prefectures and one state capital south of the Yangtze River.

It was classified as Southern Zhili, and the Southern Zhili Governor's Office was established to be in charge of the civil affairs of Southern Zhili.

Jiangbei Province, which is located on the front line, will be governed by the Governor of Jiangbei who has military and political control!

Nowadays, the local provinces of the Ming Dynasty implement the system of governor and governor responsibility.

All frontline provinces, such as Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Jiangbei, have governors instead of governors.

In the three non-frontier provinces of Zhili, Zhejiang and Fujian, there are governors instead of governors.

In addition, under the provincial-level yamen, there are also three yamen that are in charge of government affairs, education, justice, and military affairs, namely, the Chief Administrative Affairs Department, the Administrative Affairs Department, the Academic Affairs Department, and the Military and Horse Affairs Department.

However, the governor has very limited jurisdiction over the Inspectorate of Punishment and the Department of Military Affairs. These two yamen are basically independent in the "Governor's Province" and are mainly responsible for the imperial court's Criminal Department, Dali Temple, Military Advisor's Office, and the Ministry of War.

In the governor-general's province, the governor-general's control includes the governor-general's office, the commander-in-chief's office, and the commander-in-chief's military and horse departments!

The Ming Dynasty also had many local agencies, including the Provincial Supervision Department, the Provincial Customs Department, the Dongyin Coin Factory branch of each province, the Fusi Qianhu Office of Jinyiweibei Town, etc. These agencies are not subject to the governor or the governor.

Under the jurisdiction of the Yamen.

In addition, the "field towns" of the Ming Dynasty's army in various provinces are not under the control of governors, governors, or admirals...unless there is a special purpose.

The admiral naval offices under the Ming Dynasty were also under the direct control of the Right Division of the Ministry of War.

In short, the local administrative system of the New Ming Dynasty was not very complicated, but it was still difficult for officials who had not worked in the "state department" to understand the status of each yamen.

However, Zhu Heji sent Yang Qilong to Jiangbei as governor not only to familiarize him with local administration, but also to have other important responsibilities!

And Yang Qilong also knew that the prime minister of the new Ming Dynasty was not that easy to be!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The current governor of Guangdong Qiu Hui, the governor of Fujian Zheng Jing, the governor of Zhejiang Chen Yonghua, the governor of Jiangxi Liu Guoxuan, and the governor of South Zhili Luo Dafa are not fuel-efficient lamps!

Why did this prime minister fall on him?

So instead of being busy thanking him, he returned the banknotes and checks that he had studied for a while to Zhu Heji, and then waited for Zhu Dasheng to continue to give instructions.

Zhu Hejixiao picked up the banknotes and checks and asked, "Qilong, do you know what this is?"

"I know," Yang Qilong nodded, "This is a bank note, a check... can be used as money!"

"Use it as money?" Zhu Heji smiled, "Then what is real money?"

"Gold, silver, copper coins." Yang Qilong replied.

"Why?" Zhu Heji asked again, "What are gold, silver and copper? Aren't they just stones?"

"This..." Yang Qilong was a little dizzy again, "Your Majesty, I don't quite understand. Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

Zhu Heji smiled and said: "Money is the product of commodity exchange... As long as the people who produce goods are willing to accept something in exchange for their products. Something is money! It can be gold, silver, or copper coins.

, it can be iron money, it can be silk, it can be shells. It can also be paper, or a string of numbers on the official bank account book of Dongchang!

And when the money is just real gold and silver, because of the scarcity of real gold and silver, the court will inevitably be in a cycle of lack of money and saving money for a long time. And when the money is just a string of money in the official bank account of Dongchang

When it comes to numbers...do you think the court will be short of money?"

"But how can this number be used as money?" Yang Qilong was completely confused.

At this moment, his sister walked in happily holding a bankbook and a stack of banknotes, and said to Yang Qilong with a smile: "Brother, I have already saved the money, you see... this is

The nine hundred yuan passbook, if the money is not used for a year, can still earn 5% interest. In addition, I also exchanged ten 10-tael banknotes, all of which are payable on demand!"

Zhu Heji glanced at Yang Qilong, and then said: "Qilong, there is salt in Jiangbei! And salt must be eaten. Not only must you collect the salt tax, but you must also link the salt with the banknote of the Dongchang Official Bank."
