"The ministers from the left and right are promoted to the second rank, with an annual salary of 1,300 stones and 46,000 stagnants of treasure money."

"The third rank is the third rank, the fourth rank is the same as the political secretariat!"

"From the fourth rank, the annual salary is 600 stones, and the treasure money is 15,000 stagnant!"

"The fifth rank is the first, with an annual salary of 560 stones, and a treasure banknote of 12,500 stag!"

"Five ranks: annual salary of 530 stones, 10,000 jin of treasure money!"

"The sixth rank is: an annual salary of 500 shi, and 8,000 stakes of treasure money!"

"From the sixth rank, the annual salary is 480 stones, and the treasure money is 6,500 stagnant!"

"The seventh rank is: an annual salary of 43 shi, 5500 jin of treasure money!"

"From the seventh rank: annual salary of 400 stones, 5,000 stagnant of treasure money!"

"The eighth rank is: an annual salary of 350 stones, 4,000 stagnant treasure money!"

"From the eighth rank: an annual salary of 300 shi, and a treasure banknote of 3,000 stakes!"

Ninth rank: annual salary of 200 stones, 1,500 stagnant treasure money!"

Fang Shiyu thought carefully, the Political Affairs Secretariat is the Cabinet, to put it bluntly, the emperor's private secretariat. Originally, they were only fifth-rank titles.

Fang Shiyu mentioned them to the third rank, but at the same time, Fang Shiyu also mentioned the Six Ministers of the Secretariat to the first rank. You should know that there are only a handful of first rank officials in the entire Ming Dynasty.

The Marquis is the first rank, the Duke is the first rank, and the Earl is the first rank.

Therefore, it is very difficult to obtain a title in the Ming Dynasty. As for the Secretariat, Fang Shiyu felt that the cabinet should not have too much power. If the cabinet could control the six ministries, it did not mean that the cabinet could surpass the imperial power and could do whatever it wanted.

The emperor is easily overturned.

In terms of rank, the cabinet must be lower than the six ministries. The officials of the six ministries, the ministers of the left and right, and the ministers of the court are all higher than the cabinet. If the cabinet wants to govern, it must be allowed by the emperor.

This is the case that the emperor can abandon the cabinet and manage government affairs personally at any time, and he can't hide. Everything in the world depends on the cabinet.

Moreover, even if you haven't been to court for decades, the cabinet cannot surpass the imperial power.

The cabinet sounds pretty good. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, only the cabinet supported by the emperor can do great things. The cabinet that the emperor does not support is the paper cabinet master.

"As for the arresting houses, officials, prisoners, and the salaries of these people, the local area will take care of themselves!" Fang Shiyu thought for a long time and asked him to do it all, but he really couldn't do it. The Ming Dynasty court not only had half of the country, but also had thousands of officials. There were no records of the messy systems, positions, officials, and the court at the bottom.

"Your Highness, that's all?" Xia Yuanji asked.

"Well, another one, let Jingqing, Hou Tai, Bao Zhao, Yang Yu (Yang Shiqi), Yang Rong and Yang Pu go to Wenhua Palace to discuss. There are so many prefectures and counties across the country, and the situations of each county and government office are different."

"If they have the regulations out, how much tax will be increased in each county be considered to be completed. In addition, we will send a report to all the prefectures, prefectures, counties, and government offices in the world. Only after half of the indicators can the court receive a new salary quota."

"If you fail to meet the standards, record the files and settle the original salary. If you complete the court quota, you can receive an additional three months of salary!"

Fang Shiyu recalled carefully for a moment, and felt that there was nothing to add, so he said to Xia Yuanji: "You go back first!"

"promise!"

Xia Yuanji was delighted, however, he had just taken two steps and looked back at Fang Shiyu, nodding with a serious expression: "Your Highness, local officials have increased their salary, what about the court officials?"

Yes, local officials can obtain new salary by completing the county economic growth quota issued by the court, and even receive three additional months of salary.

But the central officials of the imperial court, they have no place to promote economic and trade development.

Fang Shiyu paused and said, "There is still a lot of room for discussion on this matter. Let's send this out first. The six ministries have tasks for six ministries. I'm going to consider them carefully!"

Fang Shiyu rubbed her temples and signaled Xia Yuanji to leave first.

As Xia Yuanji left the Ganqing Palace with confusion, Fang Shiyu stood up and walked and said, "Madam, what should you do when you talk about this?"

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!" Zhu Ziyi muttered, not seemingly trying to find a way for Fang Shiyu.

After glanced at him, Fang Shiyu sneered: "I'll let you talk now!"

"If you ask, there is no way to divide the prefectures and counties in the world into six parts and directly divide them into six ministries, so that the six ministries can supervise the local governments and put pressure on the local governments so that they can know that they are anxious.

This will achieve economic growth!”

Zhu Ziyi shrugged and said indifferently.

When Fang Shiyu heard this, he felt something was wrong and shook his head slightly and said, "What should local officials do if they only care about economic growth and people's livelihood and conditions?"

Fang Shiyu, who was in a panic, felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly smiled and said, "Yes, there is also Jinyiwei."

As he said that, Fang Shiyu spread out an imperial edict and Zhu Ziyi said, "What are you doing?"

"Qi Wei asked the old man to scold him and reflected at home. Now it's just right. He was asked to succeed as the commander of the Jinyiwei and strictly monitor local officials. Is it a levied a heavy tax on tax growth? Kill the chicken to get eggs!"

Fang Shiyu directly expressed his thoughts

He took the imperial seal and covered it directly. Fang Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It depends on whether they know whether they have worked hard. If they want to make money as officials, then do more political achievements."

He nodded with a smile. Fang Shiyu seemed very satisfied with his masterpiece. It was at this moment that Lin Wang knocked on the door: "Your Highness, the Governor's Office of the Five Army, Feng Cheng, the right Governor of the Central Army, asked for a meeting!"

"Come in, you come in too!" Fang Shiyu said.

Lin Wang was frightened and was shocked and suspicious to accompany Feng Cheng into the Ganqing Palace.

Fang Shiyu sat on the chair, looked at Lin Wang, and said, "Take this imperial edict and go to the tutoring office to find Qi Wei to announce the edict!"

"No!" Lin Wang took the imperial edict and quickly turned around and left.

Feng Cheng bowed and said, "I will pay homage to Your Highness!"

"Old Feng, I haven't seen each other for a few years, and my white hair has come out." Fang Shiyu stepped forward and helped Feng Cheng up, pulled Feng Cheng to sit on the soft collapse beside him.

He whispered: "In recent years, you have suffered in Dongsheng Shenzhou. You are not as painful as the Heavenly Dynasty there."

Feng Cheng looked grateful and burst into tears and said excitedly: "Your Highness is concerned, no matter how hard it is, it is worth it!"

Fang Shiyu smiled slightly and said, "I used to be in Dongsheng Shenzhou, but I also rely on your help. I have prepared a good thing for you here. Should you watch it now or go back to see it?"

Fang Shiyu waved to Zhu Ziyi, and Zhu Ziyi quickly found an imperial edict from the imperial case and placed it in Fang Shiyu's hands.

Feng Cheng said: "Your Highness?"

For a moment, Feng Cheng didn't know how to answer. What was written in this imperial edict, was it a reward or punishment? Or something else? What else could the Emperor of the Zhu family not do?

Although Fang Shiyu is not an emperor, she is basically no different from the emperor. She always sits on the side of the Zhu family's royal family when doing things. It can be seen from the fact that Zhu Quan and Zhu Zhi killed more than ten people in Dongsheng Shenzhou and were only under house arrest for two months.

Feng Cheng was numb.

"When you came back, the old man moved to Nangong. There were too many things in the court. This imperial edict was written before you came back and I forgot to give it to you."

"This is my edict to enthrone the Marquis of Zhenhai. If you take it back, remember to frame it in the ancestral hall!" Fang Shiyu did not get the ones that were not available, and directly handed the imperial edict to Feng Cheng.

Then he asked, "How is Gao Chi in Ziyin Temple? Have you ever married?"

"Originally, after Your Highness left, someone asked for marriage to the Prince, but they were all rejected by the Prince as unethical and without a court imperial edict. So far, the Prince has not been married!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Shiyu was slightly stunned and said suspiciously: "This is not possible!"

"How could he not get married if he is a prince!" Fang Shiyu suddenly stood up, and then he turned into a silent sigh, beating his chest and stamping his feet: "This, the imperial edict cannot be sent..."

"The prince's intention is that he does not want to marry the remnants of the Shang Dynasty. I am afraid that the emperor's imperial edict will be counterproductive." Feng Cheng bowed.

"Forget it, let's let him bear it for a few years first. When Duke Liang returns, choose a princess and send him to Dongsheng Shenzhou." Fang Shiyu shook his head slightly.

Zhu Gaochi was in Dongsheng Shenzhou. Isn’t that a joke that the court wanted to control him?

All Fang Shiyu could do was to maintain the relationship between the two sides of the ocean and there would be no changes. The court could always obtain a large amount of gold and silver goods from Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Feng Cheng said: "Your Highness, Dongsheng Shenzhou has developed very well. Moreover, because of the sufficient grain output, the registered population of Ziyin City Mansion has reached more than 1.9 million, and a new city has been built 80 miles east of Ziyun Pass!"

Zhu Ziyi said, "How about the learning problems of the children there? Enough teachers?"

Feng Cheng nodded and said, "When the princess said, although the teacher's staff is a little short of people, His Highness said when he left Ziyin Cang Mansion that education cannot be lagged behind, not to mention that we have ruled in the past, and the cultural output of the Celestial Empire cannot be stopped!"

Feng Cheng's meaning is very simple. Brainwashing education makes the remnants of the Shang Dynasty truly think that they are the people who were wandering outside in the ancient Ming Dynasty.

When you rule, you will naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Zhu Ziyi looked at Feng Cheng thoughtfully, and asked in her heart, "Dongsheng Shenzhou, haven't the silver mine been found yet?"

"The silver mine has been found, but now Dongsheng Shenzhou is short of manpower, and it is very difficult to dig. Of course, other projects have also blocked the mining of silver mines!"

"The construction of the new city has recruited 140,000 people to work hard. The mining of gold, copper and coal mines all require a large number of people. The data before Weichen returned, the entire Dongsheng Shen no longer has a thousand-person tribe!"

"Even a hundred-person tribe is very rare, most of them have poured into the surrounding areas of Ziyin City."

Feng Cheng admitted frankly.

Fang Shiyu nodded and said, "Don't worry, the silver mine is there, and it can't escape. Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan, what time did the Ziyin Celestial Mansion arrive in?"

Fang Shiyu asked, after all, Fang Shiyu planned to change his post in three years, so Ziyincheng Mansion should still control it in the central court.

He controlled Ziyin City, and as the Ming ships' long-distance voyage capabilities increased and their experience increased, he leaned southward on the Pacific islands to the East Shengshenzhou.

Not only can shorten the distance, but the most important thing is to avoid the cold climate on Sakhalin Island.

However, all of this will not be started until Lan Yu returns to Beijing and the warship returns to sail.

Feng Cheng said: "It's about the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu."

"Well, I've written it down, Feng Cheng, you go back and be ready. I still owe Ziyi an answer. After Duke Liang returns to the voyage, I plan to ask you to lead three hundred warships, ten thousand officers and boatmen, from the Yangtze River to the sea, all the way east, and until they re-sailed in the South China Sea of ​​the Ming Dynasty!"

At the beginning of Dongsheng Shenzhou, he jokingly agreed to Zhu Ziyi's correctness and reached an agreement on this.
