Chapter 676 Constitution

In order to ensure the good operation of Xinming, the Ming Dynasty did not adopt colonial exploitation methods, but operated with peace of mind, which also made the exploited wealth not shipped back to the country like European countries.

On the contrary, all of these wealth belonged to the Ming government, and now it was only placed in the account of the Governor's Office. At the same time, when the New Ming Dynasty was established, the Royal Bank had already gone to Xinming to set up a branch to ensure the operation of local fiscal revenue and expenditure.

The acquisition of these wealth has caused the Ming Dynasty to drop sharply in the Shinming investment. On the other hand, the Shinming government can also obtain everything needed from the Ming Dynasty through these wealth through normal trade. In this way, it has stimulated the development of trade between the Ming Dynasty and Shinming in disguise. Now there are more and more fleets of ships traveling between the Ming Dynasty and Shinming in the entire Pacific. With the continuous prosperity of this route, it has also driven the prosperity of Ryukyu, North Korea and Japan on the route. Among them, Hokkaido has benefited the most greatly. You should know that Hokkaido is the most important transit link on this route. According to the news sent back from Hokkaido, Hokkaido has long been different from the past and has become a large port in the Northeast route that is no less than Edo.

The prosperity of trade and routes not only deepened the connection between the Ming Dynasty and the Xinming Dynasty, but also promoted commodity trading and currency circulation. In this case, both sides made huge profits from it, whether it was the Ming Dynasty to the Xinming Dynasty or vice versa.

As for those gold and silver currencies, they also exchanged with the circulation of commerce, promoting their respective developments. This method is much more clever than direct plundering and shipment transportation. Moreover, according to current forecasts, by next year, the trade amount will double several times, and the Ming Dynasty can also obtain huge profits from this aspect.

When he saw these data, Zhu Yicheng was in a state of great excitement. He even thought that one day he could travel across the ocean, go to Xinming to take a look, take a look at this overseas land that already belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and take a look at this vibrant place.

But this is ultimately unrealistic, at least in a short period of time. Crossing the oceans will cause heavy risks. Although the Pacific Ocean seems much quieter than the Atlantic Ocean, this is also the main source of the name of the Pacific Ocean. However, the sea is changeable, and no one can predict that the ocean that was calm and calm the moment before and then became turbulent.

The fleets traveling between the two places have ships crashed almost every month. If it weren't for the great benefits that could have been obtained from the Ming and Xinming, which even far exceeded the losses, wouldn't have dared to take such a risk to cross the ocean.

As the emperor, Zhu Yicheng's safety must be guaranteed, so even if he had the idea of ​​traveling across the ocean, it would not be possible to implement it. I am afraid that all his ministers and even the people would oppose him to do this. At least he would not have this opportunity if he could not ensure 100% safety in navigation.

Perhaps when science continues to improve, at least the Ming Dynasty could build a large iron-armored ship driven by steam power, Zhu Yicheng, as the emperor, might have had this possibility.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yicheng couldn't help but think of the steam engine that the institute had been developing. A year has passed, and I don't know what the steam engine was developing. By the way! There is also the experimental railway that Zhu Yicheng once proposed to build, but I don't know what it is like.

"Liao Aiqing, after this case, what advice can the Military Affairs Office have for me to advise me?" Zhu Yicheng's thoughts were spreading, and finally smiled and put the matter aside, intending to go to the research institute for a few days. Then he returned to the current occasion and asked Liao Huanzhi and the Military Affairs Office what he thought about the Fujian case.

Liao Huanzhi immediately started talking, and Zhu Yicheng's inquiry was not beyond his expectations. Originally, these were always considered by the Chief Military Minister. In particular, Liao Huanzhi was also in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, and attached great importance to this matter.

In the view of military aircraft, supervision of the administration of officials needs to be strengthened in the future, especially the inspection system and assessment system. Originally, the Ming Dynasty had a strict supervision mechanism, and Zhu Yicheng also made further adjustments to this mechanism. However, from the current perspective, these systems still have loopholes, so they must be further improved.

Liao Huanzhi proposed that the inspection system must not be a formality. The Censorate must further strengthen management, and there must be a more standardized process for the candidates and work assessments of the censors. As for the Jinyiwei, this is not under the jurisdiction of the Military Affairs Office, but the Military Affairs Office recommends strengthening cooperation with the Jinyiwei in this regard, and hopes that the Jinyiwei will specially draw a group of people to be responsible for this work.

Zhu Yicheng thought for a while and said, "This is feasible. Let me ask Zhang Ran to set up an anti-corruption department yamen in the Jinyiwei, and the commander Tongzhi serves as the head of the yamen, and directly take responsibility and report to the Jinyiwei and military opportunities. How about it?"

"This is great, I thank the emperor!" Liao Huanzhi was overjoyed when he heard this and smiled.

Zhu Yicheng had actually considered this anti-corruption department before. Although the three judicial departments each perform their own duties, they cannot fully comprehend some situations. If the anti-corruption officials rely solely on the Censorate, they may be unable to do so. Zhu Yicheng knew very well that the people in the Censorate. Although many censors had a heart for the country, these people were not experienced enough, the Censorate had too great goals, and the Censorate could not fully feel at ease with these people, because they might not be able to do these jobs well.

As for the Jinyiwei, as the emperor's personal guard and intelligence agency, Zhu Yicheng's entrainment is naturally relieved. Moreover, the Jinyiwei's ability to be omnipresent is far greater than that of the censors. More importantly, the Jinyiwei is the knife in the hands of the emperor and is directly responsible for him. The Fujian case was originally discovered by the Jinyiwei and gradually unveiled the veil.

But although the Jinyiwei is strong, it is somewhat unreasonable. Although the Jinyiwei has the position of supervisory, this position of supervisory cannot be put on the table. After all, it is an intelligence agency. So Zhu Yicheng has been thinking about this matter. This time, he used the Fujian case to directly establish another agency within the Jinyiwei, and this agency will directly be responsible to himself and the Military Affairs Office. Moreover, the main task of this agency is to be responsible for official administration and anti-corruption.

In other words, the so-called anti-corruption department is equivalent to the combination of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Anti-corruption Bureau in later generations. With such an institution, the control over the administration of officials can be much stronger, and it can also stimulate the Censorate and other relevant institutions in disguise, prompting them to improve their work efficiency and play a role.

"In addition, I think the assessment of local officials and the Beijing inspection system should also be changed." Liao Huanzhi continued.

"Oh, this idea is pretty good, does it have a charter?"

"I have written one roughly, and I'll ask the emperor to read it." Liao Huanzhi took out a note from his sleeve and handed it on his back.
