Chapter 482 Ministry of Industry
"Presumptuous! Do you still have to blame the monarch for what you have done wrong? You dare to be so rude in front of His Royal Highness, I must read you a book tomorrow!"
"The lower official has absolutely no such intentions, but was at a loss for words for a while, please forgive me, Your Highness, I will die."
After being reprimanded by the censor of the right capital, Yan Donglai, Minister of Dali Temple, also looked deeply at the officials of the official department who were facing the front with a look of panic, as if the words just now were really a slip of the tongue.
The rest of the people also opened their mouths to criticize, but the blame belonged to the blame, and their eyes were still on Zhu Biao. Whether that person wanted to or not, he finally expressed their attitude.
Everyone knows what Sapphire is. If there is a big war coming, then it would be appropriate to throw him there. Just like everyone believes that Sapphire will cause trouble, everyone also believes that Sapphire will not fight on the battlefield. Let the court down.
But to suppress bandits in a mere territory, thousands of soldiers and horses were mobilized. It is really inappropriate for His Royal Highness to let Sapphire go. Using a knife to kill a chicken is not only overkill, but also easy to cut yourself. Now something happened, His Royal Highness You should also express your attitude.
These people are not afraid of King Kaiping, they are just vulgar warriors, now is not the era of heroes fighting for survival, the holy emperor is the king, all the officials bow their heads, the operation of the country has its own rules and laws, and Chang Yuchun is just a courtier , everyone is an official in the same palace and the civil and military are separated, why be afraid of it?
If you want to punish Lanyu, you can ignore King Kaiping's attitude, because everyone is not the same person, and you have to draw a clear line between public and private, and the more troublesome the emperor will be, the more at ease he will entrust them with important tasks.
So whether it is Zhongshu Sheng or Yushitai, they have never stopped attacking the nobles. Even if they know that the nobles are powerful and some trivial things can’t shake their foundation at all, they are still like a day...
But they can't ignore the crown prince's thoughts, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, not to mention Lan Yu, a general who is trusted by the East Palace, and they are hoping to see Zhu Biao excuse Lan Yu, as long as the royal rule of selfless purge of officials is released If there is a gap, it will not be difficult to make it bigger.
If even Sapphire can beat it with merit, then what's the difference? He has only fought a few tough battles. If you drive Sapphire, you can't avoid us?
Zhu Biao greeted everyone's expectant eyes openly, knowing in his heart that as long as he hinted, the matter of Lan Yu would be over, and no one would mention it in the morning tomorrow, let alone how to punish him.
"Although this palace is not very clear about what Lanyu has committed, the court has its own laws. Although this palace has received the grace of the father and emperor to supervise the government, but after all, it is young and does not do anything. The affairs of the court have its own father and emperor. My heart is alone, not to mention that since it involves the law, it should be discussed by the Yushi Tai of the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment, and I trust that all the lovers will fully support it, so as to maintain the rule of the country!"
"Although... Sapphire violated the law and engaged in lynching, but the prisoner is indeed a heinous crime, and it is intolerable to take life and death. It is not impossible to find mercy outside the law."
Zhu Biao frowned and said in a solemn voice: "Chen Aiqing is worried about King Kaiping? It must not be like this. Besides, King Kaiping is not the kind of person who favors selfishness and cheats. You don't need to worry about other things, just enforce the law."
This righteous and stern remark made the rest of the people do not know how to continue to speak. Even ghosts would not believe that the prince did not know about Sapphire, and even ghosts would not believe that the prince did not want to protect Sapphire, but he denied it. , what can I do as a minister?
"I would like to follow the instruction of His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Zhu Biao nodded happily, and then said in the direction of Yan Donglai: "It must be business-like. By the way, the Palace will be quite busy in the next few days. I heard from Liu Jin that many people wanted to visit the East Palace yesterday, but they didn't have to." Yes, I have seen it now, I don’t need to worry about my health and well-being, let’s do my work with all my heart.”
"No, that minister will leave after this."
Hu Weiyong saluted with Zhongshu Sheng and other officials, bowed and walked past Zhu Biao, followed by officials from other government offices. Only the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Industry were stopped by Zhu Biao with his eyes, and they stood still waiting for orders .
Zhu Biaoxian said to the Minister of Rites: "The sacrificial text palace for Huangdi Xuanyuan's family has been drawn up and sent to the Ministry of Rites with a letter seal. Send people to sacrifice as soon as possible. When the time comes, the surrounding gentry will be called to watch the ceremony. There is no need to save."
"The minister understands, and must follow the ancient rituals to sacrifice, so as to comfort the Holy God of Wei."
The imperial court has tried its best to start raising food and grass at the border. Fuel is also the top priority. A little more is of great significance. Fortunately, with Zhu Biao's support, the Ministry of Industry basically put down everything else in a few months, and concentrated manpower and material resources to speed up the production of coal. .
You must know that the construction inside and outside the capital city has not been completed. How could the capital city of a country, the residence of the emperor, be completed in just five or six years? After all, in a hurry, the world was still uncertain at that time, and the main body of Miyagi was only built for the founding of the country in order to appease the cultural relics and the hearts of the people.
After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, it continued to expand. Not only the imperial palace but also the four walls of the imperial city, the capital city and the outer city city need to be built. Achieve construction goals.
But now, in order to speed up the production of coal and the defense of the city, the construction of most buildings has been stopped, and the priorities are high. Most of the artisans and labors affiliated to the Ministry of Industry are scattered to build factories in various coal mines to produce coal.
While talking, he walked towards the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry. Zhu Biao asked a question from the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and answered it rather dullly. The two of them passed Fengtianmen, and the surrounding officials had dispersed, only Liu Jin and others followed.
Zhu Biao walked in front with his hands behind his back and said suddenly: "Just now, what Xu Shangshu thinks is the best way to deal with the matter of your love for Qing?"
The gray beard under the chin of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry trembled: "The old minister has little knowledge and only knows how to obey orders. I dare not interfere with the punishment and judgment. Besides, Lan Yu is not easy to get along with. I am afraid that my children and grandchildren will be beaten. "
Zhu Biao paused in his footsteps, glanced sideways at him and said kindly: "Xu Aiqing is getting old, it's time to worry about her children and grandchildren, but it's okay for the children and grandchildren to suffer some setbacks. The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold."
After saying that, Zhu Biao didn't hesitate to walk towards the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry. The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was a little old, and it was a bit difficult for Zhu Biao to speed up suddenly. Can only try to keep up.
Zhu Biao, who was walking in the front, looked deserted. The six yamen were destined to go through a major reshuffle. He didn't care much about the rest of the departments. Many, most of them coincide with the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. Due to the unique military strength and weak culture of the founding of the country, the Ministry of War can be said to be dispensable at present.
It is relatively easy to replenish the personnel of these five yamen, through the local recommendation of the imperial examination of the Imperial Academy of the Imperial Academy, etc., but it is difficult to replenish the middle and lower officials of the Ministry of Industry, and more important craftsmen, especially some craftsmen have unique skills in their hands. , dead and gone.
You must know that the current Ministry of Industry is full of talents. This is also because Lao Zhu pays great attention to the construction of public facilities. It started when he conquered the world. When Zhu Biao was three years old, Zhu set up a field envoy specializing in water conservancy. It can be said that it can be repaired wherever it is hit, and there are official roads at post stations and so on.
It is not a blind repair, but is closely related to the big policies of the imperial court, such as immigration and farmland. Wherever the wasteland is opened up, the supporting water conservancy projects will immediately keep up, and where it is planted, it will be repaired, and the planting and irrigation will be seamlessly connected.
It doesn’t matter to the upper-level officials of the Ministry of Industry after many years, but those experienced middle-level and low-level officials and old craftsmen are rare treasures, and they cannot be cultivated overnight.
Of course, many of these people are corrupt, but for Zhu Biao, their use value is greater than those they corrupted. Ming Dynasty will not lack scholars in the future, but such talents who can improve grassroots construction will never be enough.
So this Xu Shangshu can’t do it, it’s not so easy to please both sides of the wall, it’s better to simply fall to Hu Weiyong, Zhu Biao can arrange to divide the Ministry of Industry early, and let him continue to do this, the Ministry of Industry will eventually be punished up and down If it's dragged down, it's really time for liquidation, so it doesn't mean that Zhu Biao can protect whoever he wants.
At present, Zhu Biao is very dissatisfied with the answer from the minister of the Ministry of Industry. He thought that this person understood when he mentioned a few words, but he was a fool. Zhu Biao is now thinking about who should be the minister of the Ministry of Industry. .
You need an extremely smart person, and you don’t need him to fight against Hu Weiyong. After all, although the division of labor is different, the six departments have always advanced together and retreated together. The rest of the books have all turned to Hu Weiyong. It can kill the Ministry of Industry.
Zhu Biao doesn’t want the affairs of the Ministry of Industry to be limited, and the Ming Dynasty is waiting for prosperity. Although the south is recovering well, other places, especially the north and the west, are still in adversity and people’s livelihood is difficult. That is, there is no war, but those who should not be able to eat still cannot eat meal.
Such a huge country, how can it be so easy to restore it, that is, how many years it will take for the people of the whole country to get enough food and clothing after the later generations stand up, and that is already a worldwide miracle.
Nowadays, every aspect is more difficult than that era. It is conceivable how many problems there are still in the four-year-old Ming Dynasty, and how much time it will take to restore people's livelihood and to have the energy to turn to the outside world. Fortunately, God blesses the rest of the outside world. situation is equally bad.
With the size of Daming, as long as he takes a breath, he can seize the opportunity, so Zhu Biao can tolerate the struggle between the court and the court. Anyway, beating children on rainy days is idle, but he will never let the Ministry of Industry be limited to this. Because they have more important tasks.
