Chapter 40 Zhu Zhanji enters Beijing

Li Jinglong is still honest and reliable. After he said this, even if he becomes a fat man Zhu in the future, he must respect Xu Jingchang three points and dare not neglect at all.

Although they are all nobles and wealthy families, they are divided into different levels.

"Xu Yi, look, now, our family has the same atmosphere as before?" Xu Jingchang asked with a smile.

When Xu Yi heard this, he was in a daze and then said, "The Duke of the Kingdom ate the mooncakes. He said that since the King of Zhongshan left, the Xu family had signs of revival. He was ashamed of his ancestors."

As he said that, Xu Yi took out a list from his arms and handed it to Xu Jingchang.

"Young Master, this is what the Duke of the Kingdom gave to the old slave. I remember the generals who have been out of Xu's mansion for so many years. Some of them served as commanders and magistrates on the border, and some supervised soldiers and suppressed bandits in various provinces. Although their positions are not high, they may be able to be used in a long time. Therefore, he gave this list to the Prince, hoping that the Prince could be used."

Xu Jingchang was stunned, then took it in his hand, but did not unfold it. He just smiled with emotion, "It is said that wealthy families, disciples and former officials are everywhere in the world, which is probably the case. The uncle was mostly for this..."

Xu Jingchang held it in his hand and suddenly looked at the small stove next to him, with a teapot sitting on it. Then Xu Jingchang threw the roster into the fire.

Xu Yi was shocked and wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back.

It seems that it is still quite far from turning Tongzheng into a real prime minister's residence.

"Su Songchang Town, the four prefectures were sent to Beijing with one million.5 million stones of autumn grain, of which 500,000 stones were allocated to Liujiagang and handed over to Zheng He's navy for use."

"Hahaha!" Zhu Di laughed loudly, "You boy, you are a bunch of bad things. But I have also made arrangements to let the cabinet bachelors come to the Tongzheng Department in shifts. They will be the Tongzheng Department for the time being, and the cabinet bachelors will be the cabinet. In this way, you will be both inside and outside, you will have personnel, and I will also understand the situation of the court, and the best of both worlds."

In just a few days, people felt the terribleness of Tongzhengsi.

Moreover, in order to facilitate discussions on government affairs, Zhu Di also called several cabinet ministers to supervise official affairs in the Tongzheng Department.

In the lobby of Tongzhengsi, all government affairs were involved in the Tongzhengsi. In order to support the dispatch of troops, money, food, roads, ships, and personnel adjustments were all dismissed to Tongzhengsi.

"Oh, that's not the case. Listen to me, my mother has already told me about the secrets. Now the only one who can help me is my cousin Xu Jingchang. He rode on my back and asked me to be a horse for him. After all these years, he should help me. At worst, I owe him a huge favor. You take our son over and let this kid get closer to his cousin. His cousin is now a communist with great power. Let him serve him as his father, so we both rely on him."

Zhu Dapang shook his head repeatedly, "I want that too, but you don't know yet? The second brother had long been determined to fight for the throne. He was named King of Han, and I have not become the crown prince for a long time. If my mother had not entered Beijing in time, I was afraid the overall situation would be out of control. There was also the third brother, who captured Tie Xuan and entered the capital. With these two people in, what might happen in the capital? I am afraid there will be any changes."

For example, when Songjiang Prefecture completed the allocation of grain by 30%, but Suzhou was 70%. The Tongzheng Department issued an official document to inquire... It must give a suitable explanation and then send it as soon as possible. If the task is not completed, I'm sorry, the next step is to impeach the book.

Zhu Di thought about it seriously and suddenly smiled and said, "If I have assigned you these officials, you will be the real prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, right?"

There is no way, we must believe in the wisdom of future generations...

Zhu Di looked at Xu Jingchang, thought about it and then thought, "Well, how many people do you want? Do you have any strategy?"

Zhu Gaochi had no time to enter Beijing. He had to sit in Peiping, responsible for mobilizing troops and punishing the rebellious king of North Korea. However, Zhu Gaochi had already asked his wife Zhang to take action with his eldest son Zhu Zhanji and go to Yingtian first.

Soon Zhu Di also discovered that instead of waiting for various news in the palace, the best way to know the progress of preparation is to sit in the lobby of Tongzhengsi to see the progress of each item, where the problem is serious, and directly issue an order to hold accountable.

Xu Jingchang took the powers conveyed by the Tongzheng Department to the extreme.

"The old Xu family has come to an end, and it is useless to keep these. In the future, anyone who comes to our family will do things according to the rules. No one tells me any old friendship, I won't take this trick."

Perhaps under Zhu Di, it is impossible to do it at all.

But in the war, if you go down with one order, you will see the results.

It was clearly that you, Zhu Laosi, was also jealous of the power of Tongzhengsi, and sent the sour scholars in the cabinet to come.

"Also, the Ministry of Works supervised the construction of thirty warships, which must be completed within three months."

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids, it would be strange if he had the best of both worlds!

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment and nodded vigorously, "I remember it."

Fatty Zhu, when will you come to Beijing?

After explaining this sentence, Xu Jingchang went to Tongzhengsi.

Zhang said with a bitter face: "I am a woman. Even if there is anything, I can't help. Wouldn't I be working hard for nothing?"

The Tongzheng Department issued orders to the outside world, and also urged the progress of office work in various places.

However, when Zhu Di decided to use troops to North Korea, the situation in the entire Tongzhengsi Department suddenly changed.

Xu Jingchang smiled, "If Your Majesty doesn't want to, just pretend that I didn't say anything. I just have some negligence. I hope Your Majesty will forgive you."

"Order Shandong to overcome all difficulties, recruit hundreds of thousands of civilians, transport supplies and weapons, and support the expenses before the army."

At the beginning, we also said that we should beware of the Tongzheng Department becoming a real prime minister in the future.

"Yes, Your Majesty, look, there are thirteen Qingguans under the Ministry of Revenue. Each Qingguans has set up a doctor, a lord, a lord, and a chief officer... responsible for supervising the finance and taxation of the two capitals. Now I supervise the six ministries, supervise local, military and civil affairs, and deal with matters against foreign vassal states... The burden is no lower than that of the Ministry of Revenue. Do you think it must be at least comparing with the specifications of the Ministry of Revenue?"

"This is a list preliminarily formulated by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War to enrich officials at all levels in Liaodong and allow them to repair roads in advance."

...

"Your Majesty, I am not welcome. Now there are so many more things in the Tongzheng Department and there are more staff. Do you think you will increase my staff and increase my budget so that I can better serve Your Majesty!"

For different government affairs, some report every five days, such as shipbuilding, and some report every three days, such as recruiting civil servants. There is another report every day, which is the mobilization of troops from all over the country.

The six ministries cannot do it, and even the cabinet cannot do it.

Now, it is not a future problem, but a sign now.

When you are in it, you can really feel the weather of the national center.

If you don’t work, get out of here. If you don’t work, get out of here.

These matters were sent to the Tongzheng Department and classified into categories and hung on the lobby. It is clear at a glance who can do the best and who can't do it.

If it is done in normal times, you can also shirk official duties, and the six ministries will also find ways to protect them. In short, it is easy to discuss.

Xu Jingchang took a deep breath, "I also want to go to Tongzhengsi. There may be many people who come to me for work these days. Remember, no one will be seen. If you can't stop it, leave me through the Xu family's door."

In the past, the Tongzheng Department was only responsible for the delivery of official documents, and at most the progress of following up the project matters. Although it was already very prominent, it was still a little bit of ambition.

I miss you!

"Your Highness, you also have to allocate food and supplies. The business is complicated. Why not wait for you to be fine. Isn't it better for our family to go to Yingtian again?"

The young master made the decision of this family, and no matter what he did, it was taken for granted.

Zhang rolled his eyes, "I said you are a big man, so you will buy your son everywhere, like this, and when you are in Xu Tongzheng, you will still be like this, don't you feel embarrassed?"

"Who are you losing? You don't know what kind of relatives means? People say that the eldest grandson and the old son are the lifeblood of parents. My eldest son is not welcomed, and your eldest daughter-in-law is also scolded. Now that the father is on the dragon throne, our family is the most difficult."

Zhang thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I understand, do you have any explanation for your Highness?"

Zhu Gaochi thought about it seriously, "Only one sentence, I will hide it from both sides of my wife, be careful!"
