Luoyang.

The emperor has been feeling a little uncomfortable recently. Sun Simiao, the head of the military hospital, diagnosed the emperor with excessive labor and told the emperor to rest more.

Luo Cheng estimated that he had high blood pressure, so he could only reduce his workload.

Generally, government affairs are handed over to the prefectural prefects and the prefects of the government office to make a vote on their behalf, and military affairs are handed over to the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, and the Three Domestic Offices.

Of course, Luo Cheng was not completely relieved and took it off like this. Although there were Jinyiwei and Imperial City Office, the emperor was still not completely relieved now.

Therefore, he learned from the systems of later generations and introduced the memorial system.

Guanyin maid is now the emperor's right-hand assistant and recites these memorials for the emperor every day.

"Luo Daen, the prefect of Yi'an County, reported to Liu to ask for local mangoes and other supplies."

Luo Cheng closed his eyes and rested, and nodded after hearing this, "I replied on my behalf, and I said I knew that these things are just fruits and are of no use. You don't have to worry about delivering them too much. And the journey is long and it's so badly shipped."

Guanyin maid laughed and said, "This Prefect Luo is a mango, and there are three notes in front and back."

Luo Cheng also said helplessly, "That's true for being a rough man." Luo Daen'en's real name was Hu Daen. He was originally under Dou Jiande's command. Later, he led his troops to surrender during the Mayi War. Because he was timely in return, he got Luo Cheng's special grant to the country's surname, which was considered a lucky thing.

However, he was born in a rampant family and had little education, so he was fine in fighting. Now he was transferred by Luo Cheng to Guangdong Road in Lingnan and became the prefect of Yi'an. To the north is Shen Faxing's territory, one of the three feudalists of the Yangtze River, and to the east is Liuqiu (Taiwan).

This guy came to Yi'an and was very serious about training troops. He worked very hard, but he usually liked the memorials, and they were all unnutritious.

Before, officials reported to the emperor for any incident, and used memorials to express their gratitude, to impeach them, to express their feelings, to argue and to argue.

Shortly after Luo Cheng became emperor, it was changed to the prime minister's ticket to be posted. All the stamps were first reviewed by the prime ministers, and then the Tongzhengsi was added.

All the official forms and seals were sent to the Tongzheng Department first, and copy copies were also required. Then, after the Zhengshi Hall posted a yellow ticket, the Hanlin Academy's grand scholars criticized the red pens.

Therefore, officials reported to the emperor for any matter, whether it was a public or a private matter, whether it was a thank-you seal or an impeachment, it was public, and there was a special format.

However, this results in many programs and slow operation, and secondly, there are many people handling it, which can easily lead to leaks.

At the same time, Luo Cheng wanted to hear more about the following real situation, so he specially introduced a memorial system. Not only can officials report memorials, but many local local geniuses can also report memorials directly to the emperor. Moreover, these memorials no longer have to go through the Tongzheng Department, the prime minister and the grand sects like the previous stamps, but are directly sent to the court and presented to the imperial court, and there is no need to have special format restrictions.

In addition, Luo Cheng also stipulated that such memorials must be written by the person who reported the matter himself and must not be disclosed to others. Therefore, this is actually a secret memorial system.

The person who submitted the memorial wrote it himself, and did not write it or pass it on his behalf. After it was submitted to the palace, the eunuch specially kept it and passed it on. Especially the memorials of senior officials above the third rank were sent directly to the emperor's imperial case and given priority.

These memorials are generally not handed over to the Tongzhengsi, Zhengshi Hall, or Hanlin Court. However, if there are too many memorials and the emperor cannot handle them alone, he will also help screen and handle them through the trusted eunuchs or concubines around him.

Because the memorial does not require format, if you cannot explain it clearly on the memorial, or if you have any concerns and inconvenience to say it publicly, you can explain it in detail in the memorial, and the emperor can even reply in detail in the memorial.

Memorials reduced the intermediate links and greatly increased efficiency. Especially these were secret memorials, which made the emperor more clear about the situation in the world. Even a mutually restrictive relationship was formed between the local government and the central government, the inner court and the outer court, and the road and counties.

The emperor was able to pass this secret letter and added another set of restrictions on the prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall and the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy.

No one can deceive the emperor.

However, there are also local prefects like Luo Daen. The memorials are diligent, but nine out of ten are not serious. What is the heavy rain in Yian recently? What is the famous thief recently? What is the recent love affair with his father-in-law? What is the recent news that a woman and her father-in-law have been exposed. What is the minister who sent someone to Liuke to trade and bought mangoes and got Liuke's excellent deer skin.

All these things made Luo Cheng speechless.

However, it cannot be said that it is completely useless. Sometimes there is a lot of useful information in the memorials of officials from various places. For example, local floods and droughts, or some big bandits appeared, or some rebelled, etc., there are often more than a dozen or even dozens of local officials to report, which avoids some local officials concealing and not reporting.

"Guanyin Maid, reply to Luo Daen on my behalf and ask him if he is in good health recently, whether he has adapted to the climate in Lingnan. Also, tell him that I am in good health recently, but I have gained a little weight again."

"Your Majesty, why do you want to reply to these?"

Luo Cheng smiled, "You just reply like this."

A few plain words seem to be unnutrition, but they are also a way to get close to the ministers. Luo Daen, a surrender like this, has always been a little unconfident, so he would give me a message every now and then. The one who gave deer skin today and mango tomorrow is to show his presence. Since that's the case, let's satisfy him. It's nothing to say such words as I'm fat, but it will bring each other a lot closer.

The South China Sea Maritime Mansion Commander Liu Chaoen and the South China Sea Merchant Ship Commander Niu Chengen also had their memorials, "The last time His Majesty asked them about what they asked for, both of them replied that they had sent people to cross the sea to the island to visit Mingqing."

"Niu Chengen, a merchant ship in the South China Sea, said that he sent people to contact a local indigenous leader, bought a port with a ship of cargo, and agreed with the local natives to set up a trading market there to continue trading with the natives. The natives were very satisfied. Now he was sending people to build a pier there and build a fort."

Luo Cheng was very satisfied with it when he heard it.

"Niu Chengen is still very smart. I woke him up and he immediately knew to build a stronghold first. Very good. Tell him, don't conflict with the natives first, and let the natives take advantage of the points. First, buy a few more places there to build a port and a trough and build a Tunbao stronghold. If they refuse to sell, they can rent it first."

Changsun started replying with a brush dipped in cinnabar. Her small calligraphy was written very beautifully.

"Your Majesty, is this Liuqiu Island that important?"

"This Liuqiu Island is not small. It is called the island Yi in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Qin Dynasty is called Yingzhou, the Three Kingdoms are called Yizhou, and the Sui Dynasty is called Liuqiu. This island is more than 700 miles north and south, and 300 miles east and west. It is only 600 miles away from Yi'an County, and it is only more than 300 miles away from Jian'an County. This island is extremely large, with a good climate and is close to the Central Plains. It has been developed and it is not a problem to support tens of millions of people."

Changsun was surprised and thought it was just an ordinary island, but he didn't expect it to be so big.
