After the recovery of Guanlong, Zhao Ming had achieved the unification of the Ming Dynasty, but within the Ming Dynasty, there were still many remaining problems, such as many feudal towns in the Longwu system.In the summer, the weather in the south of the Yangtze River was hot, and Zhao Ming stayed in Nanjing until April, and then left Nanjing to go to Lushan to escape the heat.After Zhao Ming arrived at the Lushan Palace in May, he immediately had a whimsical idea and decided to open a temporary training camp for generals in Lushan, and ordered officers from the towns of southern Gannan and Huguang, with more than 100 households and less than 1,000 households, to come to Lushan for training.As soon as this order was given, Jin Shenghuan, Gao Yigong and others knew that it was time to accept the reorganization of the imperial court.Now that the regent is in charge of the world and the power of the imperial court is strong, the towns are no longer able to resist in the face of the reforms that the imperial court is about to carry out on the feudal towns.By the end of June, more than 1,000 officers had been sent from Huguang and southern Jiangnan to various towns, and Zhao Ming had been organized into 10 classes and recruited military and political instructors from the Army Imperial University in Nanjing for training.Of course, this kind of training is mainly based on political study, so that these middle-level officers can be loyal to the imperial court.At the foot of Lushan Mountain, the students of the officer training camp were exercising at the foot of the mountain, and the sound of training came one after another.On Lushan Mountain, the regent Zhao Ming was lying in the pavilion, blowing the mountain breeze and listening to the reports of his subordinates."
Regent, there's news from the Japanese side.The Coalition Army and the Tokugawa Army fought against Toba, and the Yin Dajun on the Tokugawa side defected on the verge of battle, and the Tokugawa family was defeated for the coalition army!
”Gu Yanwu said: "Now that the shogunate Tokugawa Ietsuna has fled back to Edo, the pattern of Japan has changed greatly. ”Zhao Ming sat up from the rattan chair, stretched out his hand to take the information, and began to watch.After defeating the Tokugawa army in Toba, the Tokugawa coalition took advantage of the situation to occupy Kyoto, Japan, and although the Tokugawa army was defeated, the Tokugawa family had a deep heritage and still had a strong force after retreating to Edo.Now the Tokugawa shogunate controlled the central part of the island of Honshu, as well as the rich Kanto Plain, while the Shogunate coalition controlled Kyushu, Shikoku, southern Honshu, and northern Honshu."
Regent, do you want to send another batch of supplies over to help bring down the coalition forces and overthrow the Tokugawa family in one fell swoop!"
Gu Yanwu asked.Zhao Ming pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Don't worry, a divided Japan is more conducive to the control of the Ming Dynasty!"
”At this time, an attendant came to report, "Qiqi Regent, several pavilion elders have arrived!"
”When Zhao Ming heard this, he smiled and said, "Please come over!"
”Not long after, Du Yinxi and others came to the pavilion, and Zhao Ming beckoned everyone to sit down, "How do you think a few gentlemen are looking for this place?"
”"This place chosen by the regent is indeed cool and beneficial for office!"
Several people chimed in.Zhao Ming bowed his head when he heard this, asked the chamberlain to send some melons and fruits, and said with a smile: "It seems that the cabinet has been formulated, and the new policy has been omitted." ”After the unification of the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Ming has been trying to implement a new policy to transform the Ming Dynasty from a traditional agricultural empire to a modern industrial empire.Since last year, Zhao Ming began to demand that the cabinet reform the political, economic, and military aspects of the Ming Dynasty.However, there will be resistance and difficulties in all reforms, so from last year to June this year, the cabinet has never come up with a plan that satisfies Zhao Ming."
The cabinet has been preparing for a long time, and it has finally been finalized recently. ”Zhao Ming took the cabinet out of Nanjing and came to Lushan to escape the summer, in fact, he wanted to reduce the influence of Nanjing officialdom and the influence of businessmen on the reform policy.When Zhao Ming heard that there was a final draft, he felt that there was less interference, and he really moved faster, so he said in a deep voice: "Then tell the widow about it!"
”Du Yinxi nodded, "National affairs are in worship and Rong."
Let's talk about it first!
”Chen Zilong arched his hand, "The minister is mainly responsible for the military department, so let the minister say it first!"
”Zhao Ming nodded, and beckoned everyone to eat melons, after all, it was just an ordinary discussion, not a formal discussion, and it didn't need to be so serious.Chen Zilong said: "According to the meaning of the regent, the purpose of the reform of the military town is to realize the nationalization of the army.The main content of the cabinet reform was that all the rights to promote and appoint officers in military towns were transferred to the imperial court.In addition, the military department will register all officers and men, open accounts in major banks, and military salaries will be directly distributed to the soldiers' accounts according to the roster. ”Zhao Ming bowed, but in this way, the business of each bank will be more, and more talents are needed, and the convenience of education must be followed."
Control promotion, control soldiers' salaries, and basically control all military towns!"
Zhao Ming agreed.Chen Zilong continued: "The army will adopt new training methods, dismiss the old and weak soldiers, prepare a number of military colleges, stop testing bows and arrows, change guns and cannons, and so on.Finally, the official position of the military general was adjusted, and the post of generalissimo of the world's land and water soldiers and horses was established, which was stipulated to be the supreme leader of the army, and the regent was concurrently served!
”Zhao Ming was quite satisfied, especially the last one, mastering the army, the regent can be the regent.At this time, Dai Zhijun took over the conversation, "Regent education is the foundation of national rejuvenation.This time, the imperial court will reform the original Guozijian and the provincial state and county schools.Guozijian was changed to Jingshi University, and the Imperial Army University and the Imperial Government University were established by the advanced as the highest institutions of learning in the Ming Dynasty, and the provincial and state schools and academies were changed to higher academies and primary academies, and primary schools were set up in each county.Reform the imperial examination system, one examination per year, the examination is divided into three levels, and is held at the end of each year.The first level has county primary school students, go to Fucheng, participate in the primary school examination, the middle test is a student, in the primary school for three years, and then participate in the provincial city higher school examination, the middle test is a lifter, study in the higher school for three years, and then go to Beijing to participate in the university hall examination.He tried to be a jinshi and studied in the university hall for three years.Three years later, according to the subjects studied, he participated in the selection of various yamen of the imperial court, and the middle one was an official.Because after the reform, the number of scholars was relatively large, so the imperial court will cancel the Lu rice and tax preferential policies for students and people.In addition, each school will abolish the eight units and add translation, arithmetic, medicine, agriculture, commerce, roads, mining, tea, and sericulture. ”Zhao Ming pondered for a while, this reform is a big step, which may cause the disgust of many scholars, but Xiucai's rebellion has not been successful for three years, as long as the imperial court is resolute, there should be no problem in implementing it."
In addition, it is necessary to set up a translation bureau to reward inventions and works, and regularly select superior bachelors to participate in overseas voyages to strengthen exchanges between the Ming Dynasty and the outside world."
Dai Zhijun listened to Zhao Ming's words, "The minister is changing." ”Chen Mingyu said: "Nachen talk about economic reform!"
The imperial court continued to implement the strategy of encouraging industry and commerce, but it needed to adhere to the principle of state-owned industry and commerce, supplemented by private commerce.The imperial court should strengthen its control over key industries such as mining, salt, and transportation, and for light industry, it encouraged the development of private industries, advocated the establishment of industries, promoted production, and encouraged private individuals to set up workshops.In addition, the imperial court will improve the banking system, establish a new General Administration of Rails, a Bureau of Minerals, a General Administration of Taxation, and a General Administration for Industry and Commerce, and establish sub-bureaus in the provinces to manage and supervise the development of commerce."
Zhao Ming added: "With so many new institutions, in order to prevent the institutions from being bloated and overstaffed, some of the original yamen that have been backward must be abolished.In addition, since military salaries can be paid through banks, money can be transferred between ministries, and taxes paid by various provinces can also be paid to the central government, and they can also go to the banks, reducing manpower and consumption. ”Chen Mingyu said: "The minister will improve it later." ”Zhao Ming was not satisfied, and continued: "This official reform will add the Education Bureau, the War Department, the Navy Department, and the Central Bank Headquarters.Like the Zongren Mansion and the Zhan Shi Mansion, these yamen in charge of the internal affairs of the royal family should not be included in the official yamen of the imperial court in the future, and they should not be granted official positions to the imperial court, and the imperial court should not interfere in the affairs of the clan. ”Several scholars glanced at each other, understood Zhao Ming's thoughts, and nodded gloomily, "The ministers are totaling the total!"
