Chapter 1108: A Complicated Situation


Wang Qiaonian's notebook is more written than King Jing, a thick and solid one, Zhu Xu flipped through it, page by page, extremely serious.

Wang Qiaonian said that the local Dali Temple is currently furnished, especially at the state and county level, whether it is the people, or the local yamen, the right to break the prison is still in the county and state government, Dali Temple can not intervene at all, the slightest action, not to mention the county government yamen, some people will be shocked, messed up.

Not to mention the complications inside, the result is that there are very few Dali Temples surviving at the state and county level, let alone performing their duties.

The prefectural level is even more complicated, intertwined with the governor's yamen's 'new deal' reform, not only to uphold the governor's yamen's will to reform, to centralize power, but also to distribute the power of prison to Dali Temple, but also to let the Governor's Yuan have the power to supervise, plus the gentry, local bureaucrats and other staggered situation, the prefecture-level Dali Temple, although the government has it, and occasionally there are lawsuits, but at most it is better than nothing, and the actual effect is also very little.

What a feeling!

At the provincial level, it is even more complicated, the governor yamen monopolizes the power, whether it is Dali Temple or the Governor's Yuan, they are all pressed and can't raise their heads, especially Dali Temple, almost only the governor's yamen obeys, there is not enough independence at all, let alone take away the right to break prison from the governor's yamen.

Decentralization of powers, checks and balances on the governor's yamen, to prevent them from violating the law and discipline, wantonly and wantonly.

Zhu Xu's eyes were slightly heavy, and he looked at it again, and then looked at it from the beginning, his expression was a little solemn.

It's not that he doesn't know this, it's just that it's not as specific as what Wang Qiaonian wrote, looking at the whole picture, this kind of situation is much more serious than he expected, the thousand-year-old barrier, where can it be so easy to break, even if he has already dismantled the various forces of the Ming Dynasty, but the most stubborn one, as long as there are still people alive, this group of people will always be there.

It is now the eighth year of Chongzhen in history, and it has been nine years since he ascended the throne, but the real 'New Deal' started last year, after a year of tossing, this year it is clear that it has begun to increase its efforts, and it has led to nothing but chaos.

Cao Huachun, who was not far away, looked at Zhu Xu's expression and bowed his head slightly.

When Zhu Xu was hesitant, Liu Shimin walked in and said: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Shandong, Zhang Bingwen and Zhang Shangshu did not lead the guards when they visited Taizhou Mansion secretly, and they were attacked by unknown people, and the people on the side of the Criminal Prison Department suspected that they were people from some places, but they couldn't find evidence."

Zhang Shangshu didn't have much of a big deal, but he was stabbed in the thigh. ” Zhu Xu glanced up at him, before these important ministers left Beijing, he repeatedly told them to be careful and careful, but something still happened.

However, he could understand the anxiety of Zhang Bingwen and others, put down the notebook in his hand, and said, "Call them back to Beijing, it's the end of the year soon, and it's time to come back." ” "Yes."

Liu Shimin responded and left quickly.

Zhu Xu looked at Wang Qiaonian, King Jing's recital, and his eyes were deep.

It won't be long before several other people, the six-part and other scripts will arrive, and there will be a scattered, tattered, old and old Ming, and it will be difficult to return to Zhu Xu's eyes, he knows it in his heart, but he already has a hunch that the reality will be much more serious than he expected.

As soon as Liu Shimin left, an internal supervisor hurriedly came in, handed over an account book, and said, "Your Majesty, the account book of the Shenlong Mansion." ” Zhu Xu took it, waved his hand, and spread it out to see.

This account book is written in great detail, even if it is a few bowls and a few stones sold, the number is accurate to one copper coin!

From large ships, guns, to silk, porcelain, pottery, glass products, etc., they are all listed one by one, especially the big items in the back, including spices, tea, diamonds, gold, silver, etc., the huge amount of money made Zhu Xu feel surprised.

This account book is the result of the 'International Trade Conference' of the Shenlong Mansion half a month ago, this conference, not only gathered almost all the big merchants of the Ming Dynasty, plus the surrounding countries, tribes, and those Europeans who are keen on overseas exploration, this trading conference, unprecedented, is definitely the largest in history.

The number that has been bagged is 9.2 million, while the estimated figure is 32 million, and the number that has gone out is 10 million, and the time is three years.

Zhu Xu looked at it, and finally showed a little smile on his face.

Although this number is still a little less, but this is only the beginning, when the king of faith arrives in Europe and walks around, the scope of commerce and trade of the Ming Dynasty will be expanded to the whole world!

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty's fleet going to sea will be more and more, and the returns will be more and more amazing!

These gave Zhu Xu some comfort, put it aside, and continued to read other scripts.

It wasn't until dark that Zhu Xu left the cabinet hall and turned back to the Qianqing Palace.

"There are more and more trivial matters now......"

Walking on the road to the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Xu sighed.

The New Deal's 'Beginning to wade through the waters, entering the substantive stage, has already had a myriad of things, his workload has increased tenfold since last year, and there are clear signs that it will continue to increase.

Cao Huachun followed behind him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Master Fu is about to come back, and Elder Bi Ge and the others will come back soon, and in a few days, they should be able to save themselves." ” Zhu Xu nodded, stepping into November, the end of the year is just around the corner, Fu Changzong's entry into the cabinet is the biggest thing for the government and the opposition.

Fu Changzong's entry into the cabinet will greatly increase the authority of the cabinet and have a strong role in promoting the 'new deal', and soon after, Zhou Yingqiu will also enter the cabinet, and at that time, the cabinet will come in handy and can also relieve his huge pressure.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xu smiled on his face, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

After walking a few steps, Zhu Xu suddenly said again: "On the side of the Wa Kingdom, the Tokugawa Shogunate, is it really planning to solve the Shimabara Rebellion in one fell swoop?"

Or did you do it on purpose for me to see?

” Cao Huachun was accustomed to Zhu Xu's leapfrog thinking, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Not long ago, the commander of the Wa Kingdom on Jiuguo Island launched a crackdown on bandits, but he was defeated, and he has been replaced, and he has been replaced by a different person, this person seems to be going to fight for a long time, wanting to besiege the chaotic people and consume them alive......"

Zhu Xu frowned, and said with a smile: "The country is not as big as me, it is such a big place, if the rebellious people are really besieged in a certain city, maybe they will be able to collapse without a fight in half a year, this new general is smart." ” When Cao Huachun heard this, he said, "Your Majesty, do you want to intervene?"

” Zhu Xu had already walked to the Warm Pavilion, paused in his footsteps, and said, "How many people are there in the Satsuma Domain now?"

” Cao Huachun said, "Huashan Jiushou has 1,500 elite warriors in his hands, Zuo Liangyu has the three thousand given to him by the emperor, plus the recently recruited, as well as the miscellaneous soldiers of Ryukyu and Korea, seven, seven, eight and eight, there should be about 6,000 people, maybe more." ” Zhu Xu walked into the warm pavilion and sat down, still thinking freely, the situation in the Wa Kingdom is also very complicated, and he will not be able to figure it out for a while.
