390 Wenhua Palace
When the Forbidden City was built in the early Ming Dynasty, a hall was built on the east and west sides. The east side was called Wenhua Hall, and the main hall was Wenhua Hall, facing south, with five rooms wide and three rooms deep and six doors open. There is a passage that leads directly to Wenhua Gate, the back hall, and the side halls are the three halls of Zhujing, Benren and Jiyi.
This place was originally the office of the prince, but it has been a long time since the Ming Dynasty had no prince suitable for working here.
Not for at least fifty years.
Another use here is the lectures of the emperor, which is a place where ministers teach the emperor for a few days every year.
Obviously, this hasn't been used for many years.
At the court meeting, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty personally selected thirteen people as the Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace, twenty-nine people as the Bachelor of the Wenhua Palace, and forty-nine people as the Governor of the Wenhua Palace. The Grand Secretary is equivalent to a member of the cabinet, and the Bachelor is equivalent to the level of assistant secretary. It is also a process of learning progress, mostly served by officials aged thirty to forty.
The last forty-nine people were completely the clerks’ work, and they were all written by young people.
If a bachelor has the opportunity to advance to a senior bachelor, he will not be able to join a bachelor's degree, but he will also write a gorgeous note on his resume. If he is an official, he will have the opportunity to join a bachelor's degree, which has many more qualifications than other officials.
In addition to governors, there are nine places for Imperial College to join the school.
Understanding with modern ideas means that outstanding college students are interns at the State Council, and understanding them according to the Ming Dynasty is the supreme glory.
Everyone has the ceremony of giving a book, and the thirteen Grand Secretary was personally given a book by the emperor.
The bachelor's degree is taught by Chen Xun, the first Grand Secretary, and the governor is taught by the other Grand Secretary.
When the Imperial College students received the book, the emperor personally taught the book, which showed his concern for the younger generation.
But among these nine people, one of Bai Minghe frowned. Because this person is his younger brother, Bai Mingle!
"Long live!" Bai Minghe made an example, and he wanted to take the initiative to resign for his younger brother.
"Long live. The old minister is already over seventy years old. I ask for the favor. If the old minister is not healthy and fails to be loyal to the longevity for the Ming Dynasty in these three years, I suggest that Bai Minghe replace the old minister's position in Wenhua Palace!" Hu Yi knew what Bai Minghe wanted to do, so he stood up and sent Bai Minghe's army.
You want to resign, right? Are you resigning for yourself or your younger brother?
Bai Minghe was stunned on the spot. Many court officials were laughing secretly, only Bai Ming'er's head lowered and gritted his teeth tightly. He could not react at all, nor could people see anything inappropriate.
Although Bai Minglu had never entered the officialdom, she had been by Shang Lu for a long time. He knew very well that he did not even have a quota for the Imperial College, but could be a clerk in the cabinet. This was not because of his brother's face, but because of his brother's power. So he was allowed to serve as an official to restrict Bai Minghe.
He was not qualified to resign, and even his teacher Shang Lu could not refuse this request, making him even more unlikely.
The only thing that can be rejected is Baiminghe.
But at the moment, it is obvious that even Bai Minghe himself is in a dilemma.
"I am still young..." Bai Minghe couldn't find an excuse. After speaking, he found that the excuse of youth was too ridiculous. He changed his words and said, "I should go to Nanjing, there are many things there and somewhere to use them."
"No matter where you are, you are responsible for the country!" Gao Gu gave Bai Minghe a step.
Bai Minghe quickly changed the topic: "Long live my Qi. Wuying Palace is also idle. I would like to allow it to establish a wartime military strategy institute. The Ming Dynasty quelled internal rebellion. Internally, some old ministers who were already old and unable to go to the battlefield but had rich experience were required to make the town, so that they could be more stable."
"The war on the front line changes rapidly, the wisdom of the commander and the bravery of the general are the key to victory!" Someone expressed his response. And he was also a military officer!
It is not for the white-famous crane, but for the battlefield.
"Long live. Give me another half a year. I have already invested a hundred stones of gold and another hundred stones. I can complete the message from thousands of miles away. The order of Long live can be transmitted to Nanjing in one breath or on the battlefield. So I will set up the Military Scheme Academy during the War. At the same time, I dare to submit a report. Please Long live to give the Military Scheme Academy sufficient rights, especially in wartime. A wrong command is the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers."
Zhu Qiyu didn't say anything, but just looked at Bai Minghe coldly.
Bai Minghe’s request this time was a bit too much, which was equivalent to saying that as an emperor, you should not command randomly, as it would kill people. Ministers like to listen to this, but the emperor may not like to listen to it.
"I..." Zhu Qiyu pulled a long voice, and almost everyone became nervous. At this time, there was a smile on Zhu Qiyu's face: "It's correct."
The title of Minister of War, who had just arrived in Beijing, and Lord Wang, who assisted Yu Qian in managing the Ministry of War, and Yu Qian, had a quick exchange of eyes and stood up: "Long live my memory, when the various staff members are still in the decision, please make a decision!"
"No need, vote for the decision. I just need to fight there and fight there. How to fight is the responsibility of the famous general who has been killed for a long time. Although Bai Minghe's memorial just now is a bit disrespectful, it is not wrong. The Ming army cannot be given command by people who do not understand soldiers. The Ming Dynasty cannot have many orphans and widows because of someone's incompetence!"
"Long live the wisdom!" The ministers shouted.
Bai Minghe sighed and retreated, knowing that it was impossible to resign.
The white-famous elephant still lowered his head deeply, and only looked up when he was given a book, and knelt down to receive the golden book similar to the book of office.
"Bai Minghe, come out to reconcile the accounts!" Jin Lian was not polite at all. He directly clicked Bai Minghe and then clasped his fists at the ministers: "Dear colleagues, this reconciliation is not a trivial matter. It is related to the offerings in the Long Live Palace next year, the deposit of the Ming Dynasty treasury, the budget for each department to spend, as well as the clean bank next year, and the share of subsidies for each official!"
Yes, reconciliation is a big deal.
At least I know how much money I can split it up. The Ministry of Works is now a top-notch banker who spends money. The Ministry of Personnel is concerned about the income of officials. The Ministry of Justice also needs enough money to stimulate the constables and settle many cases due to insufficient funds. The Ministry of Rites is now a big debtor, and the funeral expenses of the imperial concubine and the prince are huge.
Where is the Ministry of War? How can you not need money if you want to fight?
"This year is a little poor!" Bai Minghe spoke slowly: "There is too much investment, and the returns will be at least half a year later. The big account is here, and the detailed account is piled up in our mansion. Compared to last year, the account is 70% more, but the actual amount can be divided is only about 100 times that of last year."
Enough! Not only Jin Lian, but also the six important officials of the ministry and the cabinet were all relieved.
They know that the investment this year is huge. Bai Minghe invested more than 100 million taels of silver overseas. Although many of them were from the stock market, Haisi also invested very huge amounts of silver. According to Jin Lian's idea, Bai Minghe gave 80% of the previous year, which could barely support all expenditures except the Ministry of War's battle against Wats.
If it is not enough, just reduce the number of river construction and road construction.
"Who's the great achievements of Haisi this year?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Long live back, I haven't calculated it in detail. At present, the income of Little Luzon has exceeded that of Da Nang, but the income from Goryeo is also very huge, and the accounting is being calculated. It is not surprising that anyone is the first to make a contribution. Da Nang is also operating well, and the income is twice as high as Chen expected, but this is already the limit of Da Nang, and the increase may be slow in the future."
Zhu Qiyu just wanted to hear who worked harder.
Whoever is the first meritorious person is rewarded. As for who it is, it doesn’t matter.
What was discussed at the court meeting can be said to be major issues related to a country's development. The amount of money the Ming Dynasty had, how much money it could be done, how much money the treasury can be deposited in multiple countries, how many miles of rivers can be built, etc. None of them is a trivial matter.
Above the hall, young cabinet governors were responsible for recording the content of the conversation, and everyone could not suppress their inner excitement. It turned out that our Ming Dynasty was so powerful. The most shocking thing was the White-Famous He, who was two and a half years younger than the White-Famous He, and the White-Famous He was eighteen years old in the officialdom, and he was also eighteen years old this year.
I never thought that my brother, who was a little sloppy, was such a powerful person.
Especially whenever these big names who are unattainable in their eyes stop discussing and wait for their brother to express their opinions, Bai Minglu is half proud and half under great pressure. He is afraid that after he truly enters the official position in the future, it will affect the reputation of the Bai family and even his brother because of his lack of ability.
The Bai family in Guanzhong is no longer an ordinary gentry, but a wealthy family.
Not to mention the prefect of Xi'an Prefecture, even the Shaanxi governor should politely call his grandmother the old lady.
Most of the young ministers outside the hall did not understand the issues that came from the hall, but when they came from the hall, this year's New Year's reward doubled by last year's standards, these young people understood it, and everyone was a little excited, especially officials from poor families who wrote their smiles on their faces.
The New Year is coming in the Ming Dynasty, and the New Year is coming in the whole of Asia.
Influenced by Chinese thought, not to mention Goryeo, Wa, Haro, Nanzhang and other countries, they all have expectations for the New Year on the grassland. In the whole of Asia, the two least affected places are the Kingdom of Delhi and the other is the doctrine of the Ottoman Empire that have all the big and small kingdoms south of Malacca.
At this time, it was Maoshan Wharf north of Li's Goryeo.
The dock was experiencing a not-so-big mess. A group of strong Koreans wearing iron badges of Maoshan Guards and holding wooden sticks were breaking upside down with wooden sticks in their hands. A dock loader and unloader was hanging upside down on the flagpole on the side. The captain holding a long whip picked up the whip and beat forty whips without any mercy.
"Look at this rule." After the whip, the team was knocking on the huge wooden boards on the dock with the handle.
The wooden board clearly states the rules of dock workers.
