Fang Shi came back, which was an unexpected surprise to Zhu Zhanzhen, but he still pretended to be indifferent and sophisticated, so that no one could find out your true identity.
"Our department of punishment and inspection envoys has dedicated personnel for military preparation, education, patrolling the sea, clearing the army, delivering posts, and farming. However, posts such as post postings are more strenuous, so no one is willing to go."
Fang Shi said it very euphemistically. On the one hand, it was hard work, but the most important thing was the lack of oil and water. The main task of the post was for officials to communicate and deliver official documents. In the past, it was also used as a kind of corvee for common people under the feudal system.
It is human nature for water to flow to lower places and for people to go to places with more oil and water.
"Your Highness, if we are separated, things like Yi Chuan may not be able to make ends meet and it will be difficult to operate."
In Fang Shi's eyes, postal service was a burden, but in Zhu Zhanchang's eyes, it was postal logistics. As long as the sea ban was lifted, steamships and goods from various places would inevitably greatly promote the development of the logistics industry.
Yichuan must do a good job. Logistics is also one of the basic industries needed for social development. The efficiency of logistics determines the transfer speed of goods.
It’s just that the development of the logistics industry must start at the same time as the sea ban and the rise of port trade.
The most critical part of Guangzhou's logistics is to deliver things to the prosperous places in the south of the Yangtze River, because the most economically developed area in this era is the Central Plains.
In terms of land transportation, there are two mountainous areas in Fujian and Zhejiang. Judging from the obvious situation, it is still difficult to travel, and we have to rely on sea transportation.
"Has Fang Nisi ever thought about setting up a separate legal force?"
"Legal soldiers? Your Highness, you don't dare to think about this. The minister is responsible for judicial supervision. If there are soldiers, it is not exceeding his authority. You don't dare to think about it."
Seeing that Zhu Zhanchen's words became more and more outrageous, Fang Shi became even more panicked.
Zhu Zhanyi smiled: "Don't be nervous, Fang Zhensi. This law soldier is not a soldier, but a law enforcement officer. I thought of a name for it. What do you think of calling it police?"
"Police?" Fang Zhisi didn't understand.
"Vigilance means supervision. It has the power of law enforcement and the right to arrest and imprison people, but it does not have the power of trial. Whether guilty or not must be punished according to the prosecutor's order. Whoever can be arrested must be sentenced according to the prosecutor's order."
After thinking about it, Fang Zhensi felt that this was somewhat similar to the Jin Yiwei, but the power was not as great as that of the Jin Yiwei. It was equivalent to being subordinate to the Jin Yiwei who only had the power to enforce the law, and everything needed to be reported and given orders from above.
This is tantamount to adding a team to himself in disguise. What does this mean? He must be testing himself.
"Your Highness, this is absolutely impossible. Forming a police force does not mean increasing the number of troops and military households in Guangzhou Prefecture."
"No, this is different. The police are not military households. Their duty is to protect the laws of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, the Procuratorate and Envoys will not need to trouble the army when they need to enforce the law in the future. The army does not need to intervene under normal circumstances.
Any judicial matters."
Fang Shi immediately understood what Zhu Zhanzhen meant. The police was a small matter. He wanted to completely separate the army and the judiciary. Once the judiciary had its own law enforcement team, there would be no need for the army unless there was a rebellion or something like that.
Take action.
It seems that it is dividing his power, but in fact it is reducing the power of the military.
But Zhu Zhanzhen was the one in charge of the army, so why did he reduce his power?
The military household system is now implemented in the Ming Dynasty, but this system had problems in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. When three generations of a military household were in the military, class patronage gradually developed, and supervision was not in place. The army then aggressively annexed land, exploited and
Exploiting the people will greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the army.
Many things are good at first, but over time they will show their shortcomings.
"What is he going to do? What exactly does he want to do?" These two questions kept lingering in Fang Shi's head.
"I definitely want to serve as a police station. There doesn't need to be too many people. Maybe three or five people in each township are enough to maintain public order and uphold the dignity of the law."
Upholding the dignity of the law, these people have a strong impact on Fang Shi's heart. He has been in the Criminal Justice Department for six years and is accompanied by the law every day. However, the law is often trampled, even commonplace.
.
The law does not blame the powerful unless someone more powerful asks for it.
The law does not blame high-ranking officials, and the law does not blame high-ranking families.
Instead, it has become a tool for the powerful to oppress the people because the people at the bottom do not understand the law.
How can such a law have any dignity?
He may not be corrupt and bend the law, but with the exchange of favors and the protection of each other by officials, who can make those who are clean themselves clean up?
"Wei Chen agrees with His Highness's thoughts on the police station, but Wei Chen cannot make the decision."
"I'm just chatting with you. I will ask for your Majesty's orders. If Fang Nisi agrees and your Majesty approves it at that time, I will leave the relevant matters to Fang Nisi. If Fang Nisi feels that my approach will not work,
At that time, I will have to find someone else to do it."
"I am willing to share your worries for Your Highness."
This is the first job Zhu Zhanyi has given. If he refuses, it will be like blocking the door to Zhu Zhanyi. He cannot refuse, and the matter requires the emperor's permission. If the emperor really approves, it will be an imperial edict.
When doing things, he has no worries.
The matter must be taken care of, but if it is really done, it will inevitably affect some local powerful people who are accustomed to being overbearing. But compared to offending some people, he chose the future.
He has always been careful in his work, and even if there are some stains, he can clean them up himself. He has been working in the Procuratorate of Punishments for several years, and he also wants to move up.
"Fang Nisi, I plan to go to Xiangjiang Village again in seven days. If you are free, come with me."
Facing the invitation sent by Zhu Zhanzhen, Fang Shi smiled and agreed on the spot: "If you are free, it would be a great honor for me to go with His Highness."
This time, when he walked out of Mingyue Building on Twenty-four Bridges, Fang Shi felt relaxed. He thought that he had established a good relationship with Zhu Zhanzhen, and the other party had no intention of operating on him.
When he returned home, he first wrote a letter to Hu Guang, including one sentence: "Sitting and chatting with the Prince of Zhujiang County, His Highness has a mature mind and serves the country and the people, which makes me ashamed. However, Your Highness insists on setting up a county and port with Xiangjiang Village.
This place is desolate, and there is only the sea outside, so my efforts to persuade him are fruitless."
This letter was sent to Yingtian Mansion as quickly as possible. He needed Hu Guang's information.
…
On the twenty-fourth bridge under the bright moonlit night, Zhu Zhanzhen stretched himself and said, "Chu'er will help me change my clothes. Zhao Quan, Zhang San, let's go out and look around to find a place to set up a factory."
Things about the factory must be finalized and built as soon as possible, and these things do not involve political affairs, and the factory does not need to be set up in a prosperous place. Just find a place with convenient shipping, even a wasteland will do.
Cao Xinyue stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, I have to go to the home of a friend of my family whom my mother has told me to sit with. I also have to deal with the Cao family's business, so I will leave first."
"That's okay. Let's assign ten guards to protect Miss Cao's family."
"Your Highness, that's not necessary."
"I'm not worried, just follow me. If you need to use my name for anything, just use it. If you encounter anything you can't handle, remember to come to me."
Cao Xinyue lowered her head and said softly: "Yes."
After bidding farewell to Cao Xinyue, Zhu Zhanzhen suddenly said: "I almost forgot. I sent a letter to tell my father, mother, and grandpa Huang that I have arrived safely. I also sent three letters to Jiaozhi, Yunnan, and Guangxi to inform me of my arrival."
"Everyone, let's go, come with me to Huangpu and Nanhai Temple."
