Chapter 865: Six Busy And Lacking People, Hotly Discussed By The People [Please Subscribe, Please Su
The first court meeting of the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes after they returned from their expedition to the Japanese Kingdom came to an end.
However, the impact of this great court meeting was huge, and it even directly disrupted the original arrangements of the civil and military officials and noble marquises.
Because according to the original ideas of a group of civil and military officials and noble marquises, they are planning to add a [Supplementary Development Plan of the Ming Dynasty's Second Five-Year Plan] that will take one to two years in the next two years.
After all, they had never thought that those Japanese slaves would be so useful, and that the Japanese country's gold and silver mountains would be able to produce something so quickly.
As a result, the [Ming Dynasty Second Five-Year Medium and Long-term Development Plan], which was originally expected to take five years, was completed about two years ahead of schedule.
Unexpectedly, at the great court meeting, Zhu Yuanzhang once again threw out a map of the world, and wanted to appoint the emperor's grandson and the princes' sons, and the princes wanted to go to other overseas continents to establish their kingdoms...
This series of blockbuster news made them all dizzy.
When they came to their senses, they no longer had to think about the [Supplementary Edition of the Ming Dynasty's Second Five-Year Plan Development Plan].
Because in the next year and a half, it would be considered good if they could successfully complete the tasks assigned by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Without mentioning anything else, let's just say that the closest time point for the appointment of the emperor's grandson and princes will be in the early spring of next year.
And now there is only about half a year left until the early spring of next year. This time is really not generous for the grand ceremony that needs to be prepared for the canonization of the emperor's grandson and the princes.
After all, canonizing the grandson of the emperor means identifying the future third-generation successor of the Ming Dynasty in disguise!
This can be said to be a major ceremony second only to the emperor's enthronement and the appointment of a prince.
As small as the emperor's crown prince Zhu Xiongying will wear, what materials should be used and what auspicious patterns should be embroidered; where exactly the civil and military officials should stand and what they should say.
Whether local officials from all over the world need to go to Beijing to participate, or whether they need to pay tribute and gifts, etc.
These require a group of officials from all levels of the Ministry of Rites to carefully discuss a ritual regulation down to every detail and step.
And in addition to Zhu Xiongying, the grandson of the emperor, Zhu Jixi, Zhu Gaochi and other princes and princes also cannot be underestimated.
After all, King Qin, King Jin, King Yan and others will all go to other overseas continents to establish kingdoms. If King Qin, King Jin, King Yan and others can build a huge empire that is not inferior to the Ming Dynasty.
Then the status of Zhu Jixi, Zhu Gaochi and other princes and princes in the future may not be any worse than Zhu Xiongying.
Moreover, some of the descendants of their family will more or less follow a group of vassal princes and princes to establish kingdoms in other continents overseas.
In other words, some of their descendants will also have to live under the vassal princes.
Under such circumstances, if one overly exalts Zhu Xiongying, the emperor's grandson, and despises Zhu Jixi, Zhu Gaochi and other princes, it would make the princes of the vassals lose face.
That is because they purely feel that it is too easy for the descendants of their own family to gain merit under the hands of the vassal kings and princes, so they, the elders, have just lost their minds and want to give the descendants of the descendants a chance to become princes and lords in other overseas continents. Up the difficulty.
Therefore, how to make Zhu Xiongying, the emperor's grandson, to be superior to other princes and princes, but not let the princes and princes perform any worse than the emperor's grandson, is a matter of great concern to the Ministry of Rites.
For this reason, I don’t know how many officials of the Ministry of Rites pulled out a lot of their hair in worry.
And after the canonization of the crown prince and princes in the early spring of next year is over, the crown prince Zhu Biao will ascend the throne in the early spring of the following year!
Needless to say, nothing in the world is as big as the new emperor’s ascension to the throne!
Not to mention all the civil and military officials from the capital and noble marquises, even the local officials from all provinces, prefectures, prefectures and counties in the world are about to take action.
Moreover, after Prince Zhu Biao ascended the throne, how should they arrange the affairs of Zhu Yuanzhang, who abdicated to become Emperor Taishang, and Empress Ma, Queen Taishang's wife?
Like the Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace where Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma now live as the emperor and empress, do they need to be given over to the emperor Zhu Biao and empress Lu who will later ascend the throne?
If necessary, which palace should Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma move to later?
If you move, will you choose one of the existing palaces to live in?
Or should we build two more palaces to live in?
If not, which palace should Emperor Zhu Biao and Queen Lu live in?
Are you choosing one of the existing palaces as the new emperor's or queen's palace?
Are you talking about building two new palaces for the emperor and the queen?
In addition, after Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma abdicated to become Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager, how should their treatment specifications be arranged?!!
These troublesome things, one after another, are enough for the officials of the Ministry of Rites to work until they are bald.
If someone walks by the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, they will be able to see that the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites is still crowded with people and brightly lit during the recent period, even after duty hours and at night.
You can even hear arguments and debates coming from inside from time to time.
This is true for the Ministry of Rites, and it is equally difficult for him in the other five departments.
For example, the Ministry of Household Affairs has to raise enough daily necessities for two million people to have enough food, clothing, housing and transportation within one and a half years. This is not an easy task.
Whether it was re-adjusting the planting quantity of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn in the imperial official fields, or modifying the quantity of wool purchased from the grassland tribes.
These all require discussion and consideration of possible impacts from all aspects before making the final decision.
Another example is the Ministry of Works. Recently, workers at various shipyards under the Ministry of Works have been sawing wood and smoking.
After all, the vassal princes and princes such as Qin Wang Zhu Fang and Jin Wang Zhu Fang did not go to other overseas continents to establish kingdoms with nothing, but went to other overseas continents to establish kingdoms with huge naval fleets.
In other words, of the Ming Dynasty's seven coastal naval fleets, at least five of them will follow a group of vassal princes and princes to other overseas continents.
With so many navy warships missing all of a sudden, the Ministry of Industry is going crazy!
Oh no, not only the Ministry of Industry is going crazy, but the Ministry of Household Affairs is also going crazy.
Now that the Ming Dynasty has just realized the good life of ordinary people being able to eat salted fish meat every three to five days, more than 75% of the naval fleet has been reduced. Doesn't this mean that the production of salted fish meat will drop by more than 70%?!!
The production of salted fish meat has dropped by more than 70%, which also means that the fiscal revenue brought by Tianming's salted fish meat has dropped by more than 70%!!!
You must know that the fiscal revenue brought by Ming Dynasty salted fish meat is now stable at more than 25 million yuan a year.
This 70% loss of fiscal revenue from salted fish meat means a loss of more than 17 million yuan in fiscal revenue!
Thinking of this, if the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs had not learned how to build ships, everyone in the Ministry of Household Affairs would have wanted to kick the Ministry of Works and start building ships themselves.
Even if they are unable to build ships themselves, the Ministry of Household Affairs will send official letters from time to time to urge the Ministry of Industry to work hard on shipbuilding.
The officials from the Ministry of Industry, who were already upset, became even more upset when they saw the official letter of supervision sent by the Ministry of Household Affairs. They immediately wrote an official letter to reply:
Urgent! Urgent! Urgent!
Doesn’t it take time to dry shipbuilding wood in the shade?!!
Shipbuilding craftsmen don’t need to eat and rest?!!
Don’t the palaces of Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager who are about to abdicate need to be renovated or newly built?!!
If you have the time to urge, you might as well allocate more funds to the Ministry of Works so that the craftsmen under the Ministry of Works can recruit more apprentices, so that living together will be faster.
After receiving the official letter from the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Revenue immediately allocated another 10 million yuan for special shipbuilding expenses to the Ministry of Industry after submitting it to the Emperor for approval.
The Ministry of Industry was happy to receive the grant, but it was even more irritated. Where could he find so many craftsmen and apprentices who knew how to build ships?
In addition to the pain and happiness of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War is also having a headache.
Because the total strength of the Ming Dynasty now totals more than 2.5 million people, including about 1 million army officers and about 1.5 million navy officers.
And with the founding of kingdoms by six vassal princes, including Qin Wang Zhu Fang, Jin Wang Zhu Fan, and Yan Wang Zhu Di, each of them would take away at least twenty naval officers.
In other words, the six feudal princes will take away at least 1.2 million soldiers!
This suddenly took away half of the Ming Dynasty's soldiers!
The huge navy of the Ming Dynasty was not completely destroyed, but at least half of it was paralyzed.
And if Army officers are transferred to the Navy, what should the Army do?!!
Among the current one million army, 200,000 soldiers are responsible for defending the capital, 200,000 soldiers are responsible for suppressing Korea Province and the newly annexed Yingzhou Province (formerly the Japanese Kingdom), and 300,000 soldiers are responsible for maintaining local order [another 100,000 soldiers are responsible for The soldiers went to the United States to guard the Jiubian Grassland.
Such troops are already very few. Even if Jiubian Grassland suddenly goes crazy and wants to unite to invade the Ming Dynasty, the 300,000 soldiers alone may not be able to withstand it.
After all, if the average of 300,000 soldiers is taken into account, a nine-sided city can only be garrisoned by 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers.
If we transfer officers from the army to the navy, either the capital camp will be empty, or the nine sides will be empty, or the place will be empty. Either Korea Province and Yingzhou Province will be empty!
And no matter which emptiness it is, it is actually inappropriate.
Therefore, in order to ensure that the Ming Dynasty's naval system does not collapse after a group of vassal princes took away millions of naval officers, large-scale recruitment must begin from now on.
Not to mention recruiting 1.2 million soldiers, but at least 600,000 soldiers must be recruited.
This, coupled with the remaining 200,000 to 300,000 naval officers, is enough to barely maintain the operation of the seven major naval military bases of the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, before the princes and princes of the feudal lords officially left with the navy officers, they would disperse the new naval recruits into the existing navy officers.
Through the training method of old and new, a group of qualified naval officers will be trained as soon as possible.
Thinking that they and others not only had to recruit 600,000 soldiers, but also train new naval recruits, many officials at the Ministry of War actually wanted to go crazy.
•*…….
In addition to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War being short of people to the point of going crazy, the Ministry of Personnel is actually also short of people to the point of going crazy.
First, Zhu Yuanzhang had said at the previous meeting that if civil and military officials and noble marquises below the fourth rank wanted to follow the vassal princes and princes to establish kingdoms in other continents overseas, they could also report it to Zhu Yuanzhang. Consider arrangements.
Not to mention, some middle and low-level civil servants, military generals, and noble marquises are really interested in this.
After all, if they continue to stay in the Ming Dynasty, whether they want to be promoted from a county magistrate or a state magistrate to the position of Six Ministers, or they want to be promoted from an earl to the Duke of the country, their hope in this life will be slim.
But if they follow a group of vassal princes and go to other continents overseas to fight for the establishment of kingdoms, then they might be able to achieve achievements that they could not achieve in their lifetime in the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, there are still some middle and low-level civil servants, military generals, and noble marquis who are willing to fight for their future.
Once determined, the Ministry of Personnel must promote corresponding officials to fill the vacancies.
If that's all it is, then that's it.
But when a group of vassal princes and princes came back from their eastern expedition to the Japanese country, it actually also meant that the original Japanese country was quietly incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty also changed the name of the Japanese country to Yingzhou Province.
Not to mention immediately filling in the local officials that Yingzhou Province lacks, "but at least we have to establish a local official system in the Jinshan and Yinshan areas of Yingzhou Province."
And the number of officials required for this is not small.
But the problem is that the Ming Dynasty did not have such a large number of officials.
0....
After all, after a scholar is admitted as a Juren or Jinshi, he cannot immediately be sent out to serve as a county magistrate.
More or less, you have to observe government for one or two years, or three or five years, and only after you have a general understanding of the affairs of a county can you consider whether to be sent out to be a county magistrate.
Otherwise, these people would not be allowed to be the parents and officials of one common people, but they would be harming one hundred people.
So now the official department is also in short supply of people, so much so that when they see a suitable talent, they want to arrest and use it.
Even the Punishment Department, which seems to have the least impact and seems to have little to do with anything, is also busy.
After all, when a new emperor ascends the throne, he usually offers a general amnesty to the whole world to show his benevolence.
But the problem is that pardoning the world does not mean that all prisoners must be treated specially.
Therefore, those prisoners who have committed serious crimes and deserve to be executed must go through expedited procedures before the new emperor ascends the throne, and those who deserve to be executed should be executed as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if sin is dead but not dead, how can the law deter Xiaoxiao!
And these are all official matters. After finishing their official duties, when they return home at the next shift, they have to convene a meeting with the descendants of the family.
Let's see if any descendants of the family are capable and courageous, and are willing to follow a group of princes and princes to venture into other overseas continents for the sake of their future.
After confirming this, they also have to find someone to urgently train those descendants who are willing to go to other overseas continents.
For example, if you are physically strong, you can find School of Humanity to teach them how to charge and stay alive on the battlefield.
If you are smart and flexible, then find School of Humanity to teach them how to manage a village, a town, a township, or even a county.
Or at least you must have other skills, so that you can be of use to the vassal princes and princes when they are establishing kingdoms, and then be promoted.
The several big news that Zhu Yuanzhang threw out at the great court meeting not only caused great waves among the middle and upper-class civil servants, military generals, nobles and nobles of the Ming Dynasty, but also among the people.
There was a wave of heated discussions.
It’s just that compared to other people, even if they can’t enjoy the benefits of the feudal princes and princes overseas, they still want their descendants to enjoy the happiness and prosperity of the princes and princes overseas.
In terms of the middle and upper class civil servants and military generals, noble marquises.
Even the most ordinary people at the bottom were very moved by the welfare benefits that the princes and princes of the vassals said in the Ming Dynasty Daily that they were willing to follow them to go to sea and establish a country.
But there were very few people who really made up their mind and wanted to follow the vassal princes and establish kingdoms overseas.
After all, it is always difficult for people to escape from their own comfort.
Especially for the people of the Ming Dynasty, they are very satisfied with their life of being able to eat every meal, wear warm clothes, and eat meat every now and then.
.
After all, it is still difficult for them to abandon their current stable life and leave the Central Plains to work in other unfamiliar overseas continents with the princes and princes.
There are only some brave people who, although they may not have much education, but want to work hard for a better future for their children and grandchildren, decide to risk their lives.
Fight.
