The Ministry of Accounts: temporarily includes the Accounting Department, Statistics Department, Branch Office, Customs, and Bank; Shangshu: Shi Yicheng Jianba, the former head of the palace, serves as the head;

Ministry of Justice: Temporarily includes the Department of Justice and the Department of Public Security; Minister of Justice: Zhang Huangyan;

Ministry of Industry: renamed as Ministry of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce; temporarily includes Department of Construction, Department of Transportation, Department of Water Conservancy, Department of Commerce, Department of Posts and Communications, and Department of Agriculture; Shangshu is Cai Ming;

Supervision Department: The minister is Zhou Liangfu;

Ministry of National Security: Shangshu is Ye Hu;

Dali Temple: The chief minister is Guo Zhiqi.

This is Zhu Yongxing's idea of ​​starting with the most recognized government agencies and then gradually subdividing them in the future. In his mind, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites can be divided into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, and the Ministry of Commerce.

Independent agencies such as the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Public Security can be divided into the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Public Security... In the future, there will also be a first assistant and a second assistant to make the cabinet have more complete functions and greater power.

But now, the agencies are temporarily merged, firstly to streamline them, and secondly because some affairs have not been enlarged and the system has not been perfected, so there is no need to separate them separately.

In fact, Zhu Yongxing felt that this morning court was of little use and was very troublesome. According to the Ming Dynasty Huidian: During the morning court, the ministers must get up at midnight. At three o'clock in the morning, the ministers arrived outside the Meridian Gate and waited. When the drum on the Meridian Gate tower sounded,

At about five o'clock in the morning, the ministers would line up in line; when the bell rang at about five o'clock in the morning, the palace gate would open. Then, the officials would enter in order, cross the Jinshui Bridge and form a queue in the square. Usually, when the emperor arrives at the Gate of Supreme Harmony or the Hall of Supreme Harmony, all officials will

Officials knelt down and kowtowed three times. Only officials of fourth rank or above had the opportunity to talk to the emperor. Ministers reported government affairs to the emperor, and the emperor asked questions or gave answers.

This is like a leader convening a meeting with his subordinates every day. Whether there is anything to do, he has to waste time to gather together, meet each other, and listen to praise. But Zhu Yongxing thinks it is impossible to say that he can make the right decision immediately after hearing the problem in person.

.

In the early dynasty, if the emperor did not visit the officials, he would be regarded as lazy, tired and irresponsible. Zhu Yongxing disagreed with this. Look at Chongzhen, he should be regarded as the most diligent emperor in the Ming Dynasty.

According to historical records: Chongzhen was ambitious and determined to be the master of the ZTE. It was common to correct memorials in various places until one or two o'clock in the morning every day. He also had to go to court every morning and was more diligent than Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, the more diligent he is, the more chaotic the country will be and the worse the government affairs will be. It can be seen that diligence is not necessarily correct, and having to do everything by hand does not necessarily mean that things will be done well.

Therefore, after Zhu Yongxing ascended the throne, although he did not cancel the morning court, he defied opposition and postponed the time to eight o'clock in the morning. Even for a meeting, you have to have breakfast to feel energetic, right? If there is an emergency, Zhu Yongxing will

If the palace ban is not implemented and the Prime Minister's office is guarded day and night, can it still be delayed? I wonder if people are sleepy in the early morning. How can they handle political affairs well if their brains are slow to react?

"Although the country currently focuses on agriculture, promoting agriculture, industry and commerce simultaneously is also the way to achieve peace." Zhu Yongxing saw the cabinet ministers sitting down and continued: "Just like the coastal fishermen, whose main business is fishing by boat; Su Song weavers, whose main business is fishing,

They make a living by spinning and weaving. Do they have to be allowed to cultivate the fields in order to be considered as doing their jobs? Excluding the craftsmen is to get rid of the bad government and reduce their burden. You must be clear about this. So, the Ministry of Industry

I won’t allow the memorial.”

Cai Ming, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, hesitated for a moment, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, since we have been exempted from being a craftsman, the weavers in Su Song are grateful. However, if the silk industry prospers, every family will turn to sericulture. From then on,
Chapter completed!
