"Your Highness is benevolent and virtuous, and I will bow to you."
Although the first Wenxun canonized after the Wenxun restructuring was only a posthumous title, it was at least a start. They also had hope in the future. Who wouldn't want to be able to confer a title on his wife, his wife, his son, and his ancestors.
Zhu Biao's expression did not change at all and he continued to give instructions: "The Ministry of Rites will draw up the follow-up regulations. Has the Ministry of Personnel discussed suitable officials to fill the vacancies?"
The Minister of Rites came out to pay his respects and said: "I have recommended that Zhou Shizhong, the magistrate of Zhenjiang Prefecture, should be appointed as the suitable candidate. There are also candidates such as Liu Zhaoxian from the Ministry of Industry and Chen Xuan, the head of the Criminal Department. I invite His Highness the Crown Prince to make an appointment."
The Ministry of Personnel manages the promotion, demotion and transfer of hundreds of officials, but important and prominent positions such as the transfer of salt transport to Huaihe River are not theirs to decide. It must be done according to the wishes of the monarch. Even if they recommend suitable candidates, they cannot
Maybe I’ll just recommend one. You have to give the monarch a choice. Otherwise, what’s the difference between making your own choice?
Zhu Biao only had a rough impression of these people, but it was difficult to make a decision. However, if he wanted to ask Lao Zhu for instructions, it would take a long time. Li Mingdao died suddenly and the Salt Transportation Department lacked a chief officer. The people below
It is inevitable that there will be erroneous thoughts. If the Lianghuai salt tax continues to be delayed, it will not be a trivial matter.
Then he looked at Hu Weiyong and said, "Who does Mr. Hu think can take on this important task?"
This is a test. Zhu Biao doesn't know who to appoint yet, but it is absolutely necessary to see what Hu Weiyong thinks first. No matter what he says, some clues can be drawn from it. There are some things in officialdom that cannot be hidden even if they want to.
living.
Hu Weiyong came out and bowed in response: "I think Zhou Shizhong recommended by the Ministry of Civil Affairs is the most suitable. This person started the army with Peng Yingyu in his early years, and later served as Pingzhang from Xu Shouhui, and from Longhou, and successively served as camp envoy, chief agricultural officer, and Zhong
Shu Jushi, the magistrate of Shaowu Prefecture, the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, has been praised many times by the Holy Father for his outstanding talents."
"Although he was later demoted to the Zhenjiang Prefecture for his crimes, this person is indeed available. If His Highness appoints him, he will be able to forget him and be loyal to the state affairs, and he will definitely bear the heavy responsibility of the salt affairs of the Huaihe River."
Hu Weiyong's words were very clear and clear, and the officials in the Manchu Dynasty were not stupid. They all looked at the Prime Minister's back in a daze, wondering if he had lost his mind due to the recent busy schedule of government affairs.
It's nothing to want to promote one's own people, let alone facing such a shortage of people due to the change of salt in the Huaihe River. It's just that this attitude is a bit too hasty and ugly. Obviously it can be more tactful.
Chen Youzong, the Minister of General Affairs, came out and said: "We think that what Prime Minister Hu said is inappropriate. Zhou Shizhong committed the crime of abusing his power and burying money and food. The Holy Spirit took pity on his past merits and exempted him from the death penalty. He allowed him to perform meritorious service. God's grace is so great. Now,
How can we lightly entrust the sinner with the important responsibility of salt affairs in the Huaihe River!"
Although he was a little confused about his benefactor's thoughts, Chen Ning still said: "Chen Tongzheng said this too much. Zhou Shizhong made a mistake, but the Holy One has already punished him, so he should not be punished in the name of the guilty minister."
After Chen Youzong expressed his views, he stopped confronting Chen Ning. He was always kind in dealing with others, but he knew very well when to do things and knew when to stand up and share your worries.
I care, but I will never let His Royal Highness face only one choice.
Zhu Biao looked at Hu Weiyong, whose face was like a deep pool but could not see the bottom, and said: "Since Prime Minister Hu has vouched for it, and I believe it, I have appointed Zhou Shizhong, the prefect of Zhenjiang, to be the salt transport envoy for the two Huaidu capitals, and ordered him to take over.
After the edict, I rushed to my post immediately and made sure to stabilize the salt affairs as soon as possible."
The Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs bowed his head and agreed. Everyone in Hu Weiyong's line was honored and honored. It was a blessing to have another general in their camp. If it hadn't been for the Holy Spirit's Northern Patrol, they would have had this opportunity to win such an important position.
The Huaixi warriors are also a little greedy, but Hu Weiyong can be regarded as their spokesperson, and they don't believe that he dares to get the benefits without spitting it out. Otherwise, he would not be able to be a stable prime minister and not cause any trouble.
There were a few people at the back of the queue who felt that such an important task should not be entrusted so easily. Unfortunately, due to their humble position, His Highness the Crown Prince decided the matter before it was their turn to speak.
Some officials affiliated with the East Palace looked at Chen Youzong's back with dissatisfaction, feeling that this person was really not suitable to be the spokesperson of the East Palace family in the court. He was too weak and could be bullied. It was a pity that Yan Siqing was still recovering from his illness...
Everyone has different expressions. Only Zhu Biao, who is facing the ministers, can see it. The more he looks at it, the more interesting he becomes. Although everyone has some cover-ups, what Zhu Biao is best at is guessing other people. What kind of people are there in the founding of the country?
I have never seen Zhu Biao.
The Lianghuai Salt Transport Envoy is indeed an important position, and can even support all the expenses of a faction, but with the current trend in the court, I am afraid there is no chance to move much tax money.
The Minister of War went out to report: "The military needs in the southwest are in urgent need, especially in the cold spring, when there is a lack of clothing. I request the court to deliver clothes and warm up the soldiers as soon as possible."
Zhu Biao looked at the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and said: "Allocate the shipment as soon as possible. If you need to use the treasury, ask me to have it stamped after you go to court. In addition, I also ordered that the autumn grain order of Zhejiang and Jiangxi Province this year be paid in cotton cloth."
"promise."
The minister of the Ministry of Industry reported: "The Japanese slaves serving in Linhao have been almost exhausted, which has caused the construction period to be postponed. I would like to ask whether the nearby people should be recruited to serve as corvees."
In the past two years, Marquis Jinghai fought several wonderful battles along the coast and captured many Japanese pirates. Naturally, there was no need to show mercy to such livestock. Zhu Biao ordered them to be escorted to dangerous service stations so that they could be put to good use.
The big head is Fengyang, the imperial hometown. Whether it is the construction of the Zhu family's ancestral mausoleum or the improvement of various cities, a lot of labor is needed. It is naturally not enough to rely on the corrupt officials and their families of the Ming Dynasty.
To be honest, there are not enough Japanese slaves, not to mention that many of them were secretly taken away by Prince Quanxu on the orders of Prince Quan Xu. The training of Jin Yiwei naturally requires hard work, and the progress and development of medicine also requires the dedication of Japanese slaves.
Some people from the Hanlin Academy's Rites Department wanted to speak out. After all, there were a lot of Japanese slaves. How could they be consumed so quickly? This was undoubtedly due to the strictness of the local supervisory officials. This was against the teachings of the saints and was not in harmony with the Yangtze River.
The etiquette and laws of the Yang Dynasty.
But in the end, they didn't dare to speak. Someone had warned the Japanese slaves when they were captured, but those people were demoted by the Holy Emperor to serve as officials in counties and villages where Japanese pirates frequently invaded. Two of them later went on to plunder the Japanese slaves.
After all, it was difficult for a small group of Japanese pirates to intercept their tracks.
Most of the officials frowned a little. They were not soft-hearted. People in the founding years were still very hard-hearted. If the people who died were ordinary people, then they would naturally not agree. But if the people who died were Japanese slaves, it would be different.
The frown is just a bit dissatisfied with the short-sightedness of those local officials. They only know how to dare to work hard for themselves, but do not know the way of long-term flow. The Japanese slaves are such a good labor force. They should be used for a few more years. Now that they are all dead, it is difficult to replace them.
.
Zhu Biao knew in his heart that it was one thing to use the place too harshly. Quanxu was leaving a large number of people. They had only been exhausted until now. Those Japanese slaves were already hard-working.
Zhu Biao opened his mouth and gave instructions: "It is already the time of spring plowing. How can we easily conscript the people into corvee service and delay the farming plan? All projects in Fengyang are temporarily suspended. It is urgent. The remaining Japanese slaves will also be raised."
They will still be useful in the future."
"I respectfully follow His Highness's teachings."
Farming and mulberry cultivation is the first priority of a country, the source of economic wealth, and the basis of food and clothing for the people. It is a law not to collect corvee labor from young people during the spring plowing season. No one dares to do this unless they want to arouse public resentment.
The governor's office reported: "Datongwei sent sixty-one households of border residents' widows and abandoned people to the capital, but they don't know how to resettle them."
Zhu Biao said directly: "Those who are willing to get married will be asked to accept the unmarried young people in the capital camp. Those who are not willing to get married will be settled outside the capital by the Ministry of Household Affairs and will be given acres of rice seeds to help them cultivate and settle down."
"promise."
Every piece of government affairs was handled very quickly in Zhu Biao's hands. This was the benefit of accompanying his father to review memorials for many years. The prince handled it with ease. Most of the officials and military officials were also very happy. They all looked to the Ming Dynasty.
If the inheritance is orderly, they can continue to be a glorious family.
