War broke out again in Huguang and Yunnan, which had a huge impact on the Ming Dynasty.
Many officials made articles based on this and submitted memorials one after another to advise Zhu Youxiao to stop the implementation of the so-called New Deal.
This included the return of the southwestern chieftains to their native land and the trial implementation of the policy of sharing the land with the peasants in Datong.
There are also the newly established military and police departments among them.
According to them, rebellions broke out frequently in the south because he, the emperor, insisted on pursuing the New Deal regardless of dissuasion.
Zhu Youxiao ignored it, as such a memorial could not reach him at all, and the Supervisor of Rites dismissed them all.
But the courtiers and civil servants did not give up. They insisted on issuing remonstrances and remonstrances every day, and the two sides started to compete with each other.
This was also common in the Ming Dynasty. Most civil servants had the same interests. As long as the emperor or other ministers violated it, they would immediately unite to oppose it.
This is true for the great ceremonial events of the Jiajing Dynasty, the dispute over the country's origins in the Wanli Dynasty, and Zhang Juzheng's reform of the one-whip method.
It's just that Emperor Wanli lost to the civil servants in the battle over the country's foundation, and therefore lost the right to speak in the court.
Emperor Jiajing and Zhang Juzheng were victorious.
But because Zhang Juzheng was only a minister, Emperor Wanli was also extremely resentful of him.
Therefore, after his death, the civil servants whose interests were offended were able to counterattack so quickly and powerfully.
Zhu Youxiao, who had already seen the essence of the matter, did not spend any time on it.
He has long since skipped the fight between you and me.
Although Emperor Jiajing won the big ceremonial event, it was only on the surface. The civil servants and generals below still did what they should do, but they were much more restrained.
This also led to the humiliating incident in which Monan Mongolia, under the leadership of Ada Khan, approached the city of Beijing.
In fact, when you have actual power and your own political and military capital, you will naturally have the right to speak in the court.
As long as Qin Liangyu and Wu Sheng's soldiers and horses are in place, putting down the rebellion can only be done with a wave of the hand, so he is not worried at all.
Let those loud-mouthed civil servants let them talk and scold them.
The most important thing for him now is to thoroughly implement the capital's planning and new construction.
As long as a new system is established and with the full support of the emperor, the capital's handicraft manufacturing industry and commerce will soon flourish.
As long as the capital's economy improves, it will have a strong enough logistics base and will no longer have to rely on the south for everything.
Moreover, the planting of new crops in Shaanxi has also been very successful. The northwest, which is short of food due to natural disasters, will not starve to death for thousands of miles without a blade of grass growing like it did in history.
The pressure on the imperial court's financial expenditure will be relieved a lot, so that a large amount of money can be saved for military expenditure. When the time is right, troops can be sent out of Liaodong to exterminate the Jiannu.
As long as the slaves are eliminated, there will be no threat to the Ming Dynasty. Even if Chongzhen comes and messes around, the Ming Dynasty will not be destroyed.
As for the wealthy gentry, landlords and literati in the country, they are just clowns. Even if Zhu Youxiao doesn't use the army, he can kill them.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, Guo Yingqi, respectfully wishes to greet you."
"The Police Department has been formally established. In accordance with His Majesty's decree, I have transferred the injured and disabled soldiers from the Yulin Army to the Police Department, a total of 2,457 people."
"I also selected a group of suitable military households from the former direct military guards, and recruited young men from among the people, totaling 6,700 people."
Although the police department has not yet begun to formally implement the construction plan for the new city, it is still making arrangements.
The police department is responsible for the supervision and dispatch of the new city's construction. It is the top priority. One mistake may lead to a lot of trouble.
Moreover, after the Wucheng Military and Horse Division was transformed into the City Defense Department, the security of the capital was entirely maintained by the Police Department.
At this time of year, there must be no chaos in the capital.
Therefore, he had to repeatedly remind Guo Yingqi that he should keep an eye on it at all times to avoid other accidents.
After hearing Guo Yingqi's report, Zhu Youxiao also said that there were not enough manpower.
After all, the Police Department has directly taken over the responsibilities of the Military and Criminal Affairs Department and the Criminal Department, and it holds the power of judicial life and death, which is very important.
According to his vision, the police department must have at least 20,000 people.
But he did not force him to recruit so many people in a short period of time.
Zhu Youxiao's ideas have always been those of Ning Que's mother.
If it weren't for the shortage of manpower, he wouldn't be using those military households.
Considering that most of the people in the police department are military households or retired wounded soldiers, their educational level is too low.
Zhu Youxiao also specially recruited dozens of people from the capital to teach them how to read and write.
Especially Guo Yingqi, the top leader, must keep the Ming law in mind and memorize it.
"I am ashamed. The ministers of the Ming Dynasty have not yet studied and understood it. I am afraid that I have betrayed the divine grace."
"It's not urgent. After all, you are a monk on the way. I will transfer two civil servants from the Ministry of Justice to listen to your orders. You only need to make a decision and it must be fair."
"I am announcing your arrival today because there is another major matter for which your police department will be fully responsible."
Hearing that there was another errand, Guo Yingqi couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
He was used to being idle for the first half of his life, so how could he have the ability to withstand such pressure?
But it was not easy for the Guo family to gain the emperor's trust again. Such an opportunity was rare in a hundred years, and he wanted to seize it to make a bright future for his family and his descendants.
So he still gritted his teeth and said:
"No matter what your Majesty orders, I will dedicate myself to it and do my best to do it."
Zhu Youxiao immediately revealed his plans for the three districts.
Guo Yingqi was stunned for a moment and almost didn't react.
He has absolutely no idea about the economy or future development.
In the not-hot Qianqing Palace, Guo Yingqi felt that his whole body was hot and he was under great psychological pressure.
Seeing his nervous and flustered look, Zhu Youxiao also gave him some reassurance.
"Don't worry, you just need to follow my instructions and plan and implement them step by step. You don't need to worry about anything else."
"When you encounter something you can't decide on, you can come to the palace to see me at any time. I will give you instructions. Don't make your own decisions, let alone be influenced by others."
"You must know your position. You are an honorable minister who shares the same status with the country. You must think and act from the perspective of me and the court in everything."
Guo Yingqi is not a fool. The emperor has almost made it clear. If he hadn't heard it yet, he wouldn't be alive today.
And with the emperor's reassurance, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed all over.
As long as he acted in accordance with the set rules and regulations, he still didn't feel so panicked. Even if things went wrong, he could go to the palace and ask the emperor for advice.
"I have already chosen the specific person in charge of execution. You just need to control the key points and control the overall situation. Don't let me down."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do my best."
After a big bow, Guo Yingqi bowed and slowly exited the Qianqing Palace.
Not long after, under the guidance of Wang Chaofu, Gu Bingqian, a highly trusted minister of the Information Department, also came to Qianqing Palace.
