Chapter 247 Establishment of the Inspection Division
The battle in the pavilion was extremely fierce. Even though Zhu Youde boasted of his strong physical strength, he was defeated. He surrendered after seven in and seven out.
As for Luo Xian, she seemed to have divine help. Instead of feeling tired after a bloody night of fighting, she felt energetic.
Zhu Youde lost for the first time in the match between the two.
"I will spare you for now and fight another day!"
Luo Xian took the handed cloak to cover her body, took off her pleated skirt from her waist, and changed the style of her white skirt. Her eyes were filled with the joy of a winner, and her little face was rosy and very charming.
"I will wait for His Majesty's punishment someday..." She said with a raised eyebrow, picking up the pleated skirt and hiding it in her sleeves.
Your Majesty said it was convenience, but it turned out to be convenience...
Looking at the time, Zhu Youde was not catching up on his sleep either. He went to Yangxin Hall to review the remaining memorials from yesterday.
Although there were not as many folds as before from officials of the imperial court and the people, there were still dozens of them every day. He personally reviewed and reviewed each piece, selected a few that needed to be solved, and returned all the rest.
After watching so many excerpts during the night of fighting, Zhu Youde felt tired for the first time, and he really followed the old saying - there are no fields that are damaged by plowing, only cows that are exhausted.
Zhu Youde is that cow.
"Your Majesty, the Grand Master of the Cabinet came yesterday, and I need you to review the knighthood memorial." Wang Zhonghou handed over a stack of imperial edicts. He waited outside the palace all night last night and did not see His Majesty come back. Instead, he vaguely heard a voice coming from the garden in the middle of the night.
There comes a strange sound.
If Zhu Youde knew what he was thinking, he would probably have the urge to cut off Wang Zhonghou's ears...
…………………………
Fengtian Hall.
"If something happens, come early; if nothing happens, leave the court." Wang Gonggong sang loudly as always.
Feng Boqiu, Minister of Industry and Industry, came out first: "Your Majesty, I have investigated the domestic magnetite mines and selected a mine that is most suitable for mining. Please take a look."
Wang Zhonghou handed over the folder, which recorded the mine's geographical location, year of discovery, and estimated resources.
"Priority will be given to the mining of magnetite from now on. The Ministry of Industry will be fully responsible. The sooner the better while ensuring safety!" Zhu Youde ordered.
Mining magnetite is of great significance, whether it is manufacturing detection tools or having decisive significance in exploring other mineral resources.
Feng Bogong retired several cabinet bachelors to present a memorial...
After finishing the government affairs, Zhu Youde's expression changed and he spoke with reservation about how petty officials colluded with rich families to bully the people in the business district yesterday.
It mainly highlights the problems of petty officials colluding with each other, seeking personal gain, shielding wealthy businessmen, and participating in the construction of gambling games.
Situ Mingrong, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I interrogated the prisoner and wealthy businessman last night, and the prisoner and the wealthy businessman were convicted and punished - the Queen of Autumn was beheaded!"
"The generals of the city defense camp have been dispatched to the border areas."
"In addition..." He paused, gritted his teeth and continued: "I found many card games in the capital..."
When these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar. Was the card game in Jinling City discovered? Many ministers turned pale and became nervous.
Zhu Youde glanced at it and sneered again and again. As he guessed, the card game in Jinling City was supported by officials, otherwise who would dare to openly defy the law.
I didn't pay attention to this aspect before. Judging from the reactions of some ministers, it must be old.
Being able to break the law without being discovered at the feet of the Emperor shows how deeply hidden it is.
But Zhu Youde did not intend to ask questions. The law is that the dead are alive. If the ministers involved were killed one by one, the Liang court would most likely be paralyzed.
Cining rebelled and killed hundreds of officials, but he could not withstand the torture.
Another reason is that Zhu Youde is well aware of some gray existences. As long as it does not endanger the safety of the beam, he can turn a blind eye.
As for setting up a card game, he would not agree. It is worth advocating for friends to gather together to play cards and kill time, but if they gather to participate in money guessing, the nature changes!
Once people are exposed to betting, their mentality will change, and the same is true at the national level.
As a king, you put the overall situation first.
Then he said: "Anyone who participated in setting up the card game will be closed within three days, the money involved will be handed over, and a double fine will be imposed!"
Pitch Octave: "Any objections?!"
All the ministers knelt down and no one dared to object.
Double the fine - money to buy your life. Who dares to object?
Zhu Youde did a rough count and found that there were almost a dozen ministers, all of whom were third or fourth grade officials. This could also explain why no one exposed him.
He also told how Xu Congjun was wrongly accused by a petty official, and asked the officials why this happened.
Feng Yuyue, the Minister of Civil Affairs, came from a poor family and was deeply aware of the sufferings in the world: "Your Majesty, I think it is due to unfavorable supervision! Although there is a censor in the court, his powers have changed and he does not have procuratorial power."
"I believe that the functions and powers of the imperial censor should be changed and the supervisory mechanism should be improved."
Zhu Youde nodded, he was indeed the Chollima he had chosen, and he had the same starting point.
But he did not intend to change the powers of the imperial censor, and decided to set up a new supervisory agency-the Inspection Department!
When he expressed his thoughts, the ministers gasped, and their eyes changed when they looked at His Majesty.
What is the Inspection Department? As the name suggests, it is responsible for inspections. It is composed of elites drawn from Jinyiwei, East Factory, and West Factory. Li Renjie serves as the director.
The reason why the director is Li Renjie, not Wang Zhonghou or Cao Wang, is for two reasons: Cao Wang and Wang Zhonghou have lived in the palace for a long time and have no understanding of the various ways of the people, while Li Renjie has visited Wolong Mountain three times with him recently and has a deep understanding.
Moreover, Li Renjie is a strong-willed man, so he doesn't have to worry about being soft-hearted and hiding the true situation.
"The Inspection Department is responsible for supervising the capital. As for the local government, a supervisory agency will also be established. I will make my own arrangements for the selection."
"In addition, I will send people to amend the law and make strict regulations on industries similar to poker games. I will never forgive anyone who offends again!"
After the court, Zhu Youde went to Yangxin Hall and ordered people to grind ink and prepare drawing paper. He wanted to develop a loom.
It shouldn't be said to be a development, but a reproduction. Based on memory and the actual situation of the beam, we can draw a realistic loom.
At noon, Lang Hao completed the drawings, and Wang Zhonghou asked to see him: "Your Majesty, Mr. Tang has sent a letter, asking you to move to Shangfang Mansion. It is said that some Yuezhi people have come to seek refuge."
Zhu Youde was overjoyed and went to Shang Fang Mansion with the drawings.
Tang Huo brought several craftsmen with unique services to greet him: "Your Majesty, this is a craftsman from the Yuezhi, a fellow disciple of Anima."
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Zhu Youde was excited and held the hands of several people without letting go.
Facing the emperor who had nothing to do with the rumors, several people were as confused as Anima when they met for the first time. Didn't they say that Emperor Liang was a coward and a tyrant?
Zhu Youde saw what a few people were thinking, patted his shoulders and said with a smile: "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Some rumors need to be judged true and false in person!"
As he said this, he looked around and saw no anima, and asked Tang Huo about it and was ecstatic.
Anima went to the gate of Jinling City to greet the craftsmen and soldiers of the Yuezhi who came to seek refuge! There were hundreds of them, all of whom fled to Daliang and lived in seclusion on the border. After receiving Anima's invitation, they rushed to the capital.
Zhu Youde immediately decided to go to the city gate to greet him in person. He was very experienced in winning people's hearts...
