Liu Mingzhi could naturally feel the doubtful eyes of old foxes like Xia Gongming when they peeked at him.
But he just smiled casually and had no intention of going into detail about transferring Qi Liang to Daizhou and Songzhou as governors of the two provinces later in the year.
Aren’t these old foxes good at thinking and reasoning?
Then let them make good guesses.
"Ahem, Du Aiqing, Qi Liang's promotion and transfer should be planned according to my wishes just now. You can make slight modifications, but the original intention cannot be changed.
Compared with the prosperous state capital, Beifu has been in dire straits since it was included in the imperial territory.
Qi Liang has outstanding abilities and remarkable political achievements.
Let him serve as an official in Beifu, which is in need of prosperity. It is far better to show his talents than to take office in the prosperous state capital.
If he lives up to my expectations and can manage the two areas of Beifu to live and prosper in peace and contentment, his status as the uncle of the dynasty will not be in vain."
"I understand that during the period of rest, I will draft a plan and submit it to Your Majesty for review."
"As long as you understand, the imperial court will hold the Spring Palace Examination in the spring of next year.
Your officials may be busy with the Spring Festival for a while. After the Spring Festival is over, you must put the matter of selecting talents for the country first.
Many students study hard for ten years in order to one day be able to win the gold medal.
But don’t let your officials’ negligence and slackness ruin the hard work of tens of thousands of scholars from all over the country to serve the imperial court and be loyal to the country.”
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely not dare to neglect the imperial examination."
"Well! Do the other ministries and ministers have any other documents that they need to start?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have a report from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce."
"Yang Aiqing, tell me."
"Yes, I am reporting to Your Majesty that the main mausoleum of the imperial mausoleum will be suspended again due to lack of money.
I hope your majesty will forgive me for not being able to complete the project within the time limit."
Liu Mingzhi raised his brows and glanced at Jiang Yuanming, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, who was on the side. He saw the helpless look on his face as he fiddled with Chaohu, and he knew in his heart that this old guy really had no choice.
As long as the national treasury is strong, he will definitely not cut off the money provided by the Ministry of Industry to build the imperial mausoleum project.
In all likelihood, it was because of the possibility of fighting with Tsarist Russia that he had no choice but to tighten his belt, and Liu Mingzhi was not dissatisfied.
I am only in my early thirties, and even if I can only live until my early fifties, I still have twenty years to build the imperial mausoleum, so there is no need to rush.
"If the work is stopped, then stop the work. When the treasury is full, we can allocate extra money to build again. The treasury is empty and it is not the responsibility of the ministers.
For now, let’s let the workers who are staying in the Imperial Tomb go home and have a good New Year.”
"Your Majesty is wise. On behalf of my colleagues from the Ministry of Works and the craftsmen and workers of the Imperial Tomb, I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty for your kindness."
"No need to be so polite. It doesn't matter if the work on the imperial mausoleum is temporarily suspended, but the construction of school buildings in Neifu, Beifu and Xinfu cannot be delayed.
Study to clarify your aspirations, clarify your aspirations to cultivate your character, cultivate your character to regulate your family, regulate your family to govern the country, and govern the country to bring peace to the world.
Cultivate oneself, manage one's family, govern the country and bring peace to the world.
This is the ambition that I, the great dragon son, and even the descendants of future generations should have.
It's not a big deal to delay other less important government affairs for a while, but I, the eldest son, must not delay his education.
As long as the imperial court can do its best, try to make all the Mongolian children under Dalong's eyes read and write, so as to repay the country's favor in the future."
Baiguan stared blankly at Liu Mingzhi, who had a serious look on his face.
Although His Majesty rebelled and proclaimed himself emperor, he and others could not help but admire him for all the decrees he had issued to benefit the country and the people in the three years since he proclaimed himself emperor.
The misfortune that was caused by the Li family in the previous dynasty has resulted in the happiness of the world and all the people.
The emergence of such a situation cannot help but make people feel deeply moved!
"Your Majesty is wise.
Long live my emperor."
"The Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, and the Imperial College."
"I'm here."
"In the spring of next year, I plan to build another academy called Dalong Academy of Sciences in the capital. This matter needs to be handled jointly by five of your departments. The most important ones are the Household and Work Departments.
Whether the college can be successfully completed, you two will bear the brunt of the responsibility!"
Jiang Yuanming, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, hesitated for a moment, and looked at Young Master Liu with a smile: "I dare to ask Your Majesty, is it just one academy, or is it the so-called Dalong Academy of Sciences that is planned to be established in various parts of the government?"
"For the time being, we only plan to build one academy in the capital. As for whether other state capitals are planning to build one, we should make a decision after seeing the surprises that the first academy of sciences brings to us."
Jiang Yuanming suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. If there is only one college, although the national treasury is in various tensions, the problem is not too big.
He was afraid that Liu Mingzhi would be like the one who built the elementary school and it would bloom all over the world. In that case, he would have to torture his old bones to death.
"If there is only one academy, your Majesty can rest assured that the veteran will fully support his colleagues in the four ministries in preparing to establish the Academy of Sciences."
"I will accept the order and will go all out."
Although the officials of the Fifth Department didn't quite understand what the so-called Dalong Academy of Sciences was for, they knew that Liu Mingzhi was definitely not the kind of person who would aimlessly.
A decree was sent to five important ministers at once to prepare for the establishment of the Dalong Academy of Sciences, which must be of great importance.
After all, Liu Mingzhi would never waste a lot of money for no reason after he ascended the throne.
"Besides the suspension of work on the imperial mausoleum, do you have anything else to report?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, all memorials have been submitted to Your Majesty for review. I have no original intention to submit them."
Liu Mingzhi nodded clearly and signaled Xiao Chengzi, Liu Song and the others to pack up the documents they had read by the stove, then turned around and headed towards the dragon platform to board the platform.
"Six departments and nine ministers, three stations and two prisons, twelve guards and nine divisions, three armies and five households."
"I'm here."
"I wish you all dear friends and ministers a happy new year, peace and happiness in advance."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I wish you and your Majesty the pleasure. Long live my emperor."
"Retreat from the court."
"Farewell to Your Majesty."
"King Zhao, King Jing, come with me from the palace."
The officials, who stood up and prepared to wait for Liu Mingzhi to go to the back of the palace and disperse on their own, looked startled and glanced slightly at King Zhao Li Tao, King Jing Li Yunping, uncle and nephew, wondering what was going on.
They can still figure out Liu Mingzhi's thoughts by leaving King Zhao behind, but what do they want to do by leaving King Jing Li Yunping, an idle prince who has long stopped taking part in court affairs?
Li Yunping, Li Tao's uncle and nephew looked at each other with complicated expressions, looked at Liu Mingzhi who had walked into the back of the palace, nodded to the surprised officials around him, and hurriedly chased after him.
Upon seeing this, the officials hesitated for a moment, but then retreated in small groups towards the outside of the Qinzheng Hall.
Your Majesty asked the uncle, nephew and prince to go to the rear of the palace in front of everyone, and nothing bad will happen.
When Li Yunping and his nephew entered the familiar back hall, Liu Mingzhi had already walked out of the hall and walked towards the Guangming Hall.
The uncle and nephew looked at each other with confused and uneasy expressions, but followed him obediently.
"My little maid Cai'er is here to meet His Majesty. Long live, long live."
Liu Mingzhi took off the jade belt from his waist and stuffed it into Cai'er's hand who was about to salute. While taking off his clothes and belt, he walked towards the chair beside him: "Forgive me, it's your turn to be on duty in the Guangming Hall today.
!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Sister Xun'er was originally on duty today, but she is not feeling well, so I will take over the duty for her for the day."
"Well, just get along well as sisters. Bring me the light blue robe that I usually wear. I want to change into it."
"Yes, your Majesty, wait a moment."
As soon as Cai'er took the robe off the hanger, uncle and nephew Li Yunping walked in uneasily.
"My younger brother Li Yunping."
"Your Majesty Li Tao."
"See Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi raised his arms, signaling Cai'er to help him change his clothes, and looked at his uncle and nephew who were bowing with a smile.
"No courtesy, no outsiders, just sit down wherever you want."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Tao'er."
"His Majesty?"
"If you're not in the court, just call me uncle."
"This...uncle."
"Yeah! You approved the documents for the lawsuit involving more than 20 lives in Kunzhou, right?"
"It was approved by the child, but something went wrong?"
Liu Mingzhi took the belt from Cai'er's hand and tied it around his waist, then sat on the chair and took a sip of the warm tea he had prepared.
"There is no mistake. I just wanted to ask you.
This kind of power of life and death is in your hands, how does it feel to write a pen to decide life and death?"
