For the deterrence of sweeping away all the forces of resistance and conspiracy and the execution in front of Xiaoling, Zhu Cihong did not stir up as many waves in his heart, and he was used to these things.

The dismissal is to deal with the aftermath and arrange officials to appease all localities, take charge of the entire Jiangnan more comprehensively, and lay the foundation for the development of the Ming Dynasty.

The relevant policies have been implemented step by step by the officials of the ten ministries, and Zhu Cihong only needs to consider strategic issues and formulate policies.

Now that the positions of Governor of Caoyun and Governor of Nanzhili are vacant, Zhu Cihong decided to appoint Lu Xiangsheng as Governor of Caoyun, Fang Kongzhao, Governor of Huguang, as Governor of Nanzhili, and Song Yingxing as the Governor of Guozijian as the Priest of Wine.

He also used Yan Yingyuan, Zhang Huangyan and others to fill the vacancies of the magistrates of the various prefectures in Nanzhili, and supplemented the vacant positions of the Ministry of Rites and other departments with Chen Zhenhui, a former scholar of the Fushe Society, who supported the new policy.

Lu Xiangsheng's worries have ended, Zhu Cihong originally let him serve as the governor of Nanzhili, thinking about the Ming Dynasty's official system, worried that the emperor Laozi's temper would not be criticized, so he retreated and asked Lu Xiangsheng to rectify Caoyun.

Fang Kongzhao, the former governor of Huguang, is also a member of the princelings, and it is best for him to be transferred to Nanzhili, but Zhu Cihong, the candidate for the governor of Huguang, sees that there is no suitable candidate for the time being.

For the aftermath of Zhu Dadian, Zhu Cihong ordered Li Dahai, who assassinated Zhu Dadian, to be executed, and took out his heart and liver to sacrifice in front of Zhu Dadian's grave.

Zhu Cihong has written to Chongzhen, posthumously awarded Zhu Dadian as Wu Anbo, Prince Taibao, and the name "Wensu", according to the governor's death in battle, and enshrined in the "Loyal Martyrs' Shrine".

Zhu Dadian's several heirs have been promoted, the eldest son Zhu Wanhua was promoted to the Tianfu Mansion Yin, the second son Zhu Wanwen was promoted to the Huai'an Prefecture Governor, the third son Zhu Wanwu was in the Tianwu Army, and the garrison of the Jiang Mansion was relaxed, the fourth son Zhu Wanjie rewarded the member of the Punishment Department, the fifth son Zhu Wanxiong walked in the Reward Department, and the eldest grandson Zhu Yu entered the Nanjing Guozijian to study.

Although Zhu Cihong was violent to the enemy, he had always been generous in rewarding the military generals who followed him, and he had done his best to give Zhu Dadian the title of uncle, and he was also ready to posthumously crown Zhu Dadian as a marquis to show his kindness to his followers.

When Zhu Cihong was considering the candidate for the governor of Huguang, he thought of Shi Kefa, who had ended Ding Wei.

I heard that Shi Kefa is an official who is selfless and honest, with clean sleeves, comparable to Bao Gong and Hai Rui, as a high-ranking civil and military official, he can't eat sweetly, he can't undress when he sleeps, and he will give all the meat he gets to the soldiers during the New Year, and he only uses salt and soy sauce to drink.

The ministers of the court and the central government did not believe that Shi Kefa, who had been the governor of Caoyun, was not greedy, and Emperor Chongzhen did not believe it, so they sent people to check Shi Kefa Ding on the way home, and only found a few fans, wine glasses and notebooks in the box, and the Manchu civil and military could not help but respect him.

Zhu Cihong also admired Shi Kefa's personality, but Shi Kefa was born in Donglin, which made him a little worried about whether he would resist the new policy, and he was not at ease to let him hold such an important position as the governor of Huguang.

After Shi Kefa was ordered to enter the palace, he did not incarnate as a saint to preach Zhu Cihong, and the meeting between the two sides can be described as a group of harmony.

Talking about the turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River, Shi Kefa first praised Zhu Cihong for about a quarter of an hour, and then said bitterly: "A person who is an official is full of the favor of the imperial court, and he does not want to repay the service, but he does such a disaster to the country and the people, which is really a misfortune for the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhu Cihong smiled slightly, and secretly said that this big guy is also shrewd and knowledgeable!

After Shi Kefa scolded for a while, he began to ask Zhu Cihong, and said, "I don't know what arrangements His Highness has for the vacant officials?" ”

Zhu Cihong handed him the list of official appointments and dismissals prepared on the dragon case, and said with a smile: "This palace is ready to report it to my father, what do you think?" ”

Regarding Zhu Cihong's attitude of appointing and removing officials to report to the imperial court, Shi Kefa was quite comforted, at least on the surface, the crown prince still respected the emperor, but the more so, the more he felt that the crown prince was not simple, scheming and scheming, and knew how to stop in moderation.

Shi Kefa carefully took the paperwork, looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help nodding secretly, Lu Xiangsheng took over as the governor of Caoyun, he was still convinced, but why didn't he have his own name on it......

Looking at Shi Kefa's somewhat unnatural expression, Zhu Cihong handed him a copy of the proposed policies, and said with a smile: "What do you think of these new policies?" ”

Shi Kefa quickly glanced at it a few times, and was slightly shocked in his heart, the prince is going to abolish the identity system of "scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants" in the traditional era, abolish the military household system, and completely abolish all the guards in the provinces south of the Yangtze River, this is a big move!

Shi Kefa pondered and said: "The guards of the three provinces of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and Huguang have existed in name only under the rectification of His Royal Highness, and the imperial court has a policy two years ago to require the whole country to inventory the land of the guards, and now the abolition of military households and the abolition of the guard system is also the trend of the times, but it is just ......"

"It's just that this status system of scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants has existed for nearly two thousand years, will Your Highness feel a little hasty to cancel it now?"

Zhu Cihong said: "Strike while the iron is hot, besides, the times have changed, and the regulations formulated by the imperial court that merchants are not allowed to wear silk and satin to swagger through the market have rarely been implemented, so do you want the palace to kill another group of businessmen and re-establish the rules?" ”

Shi Kefa was shocked, and hurriedly said: "The minister has no such intention, His Royal Highness's move is wise......"

Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "The status of businessmen must be improved, and I will also vigorously develop industry and commerce in the future and encourage production-oriented businessmen." ”

Now the businessmen of the Ming Dynasty are mostly hoarders, floating businessmen who raise prices, it is difficult to create social value, and only the production businessmen of later generations can create value for the society and play a role in helping the country's economic development.

Productive businessmen need to recruit a large number of workers to open factories to produce goods on a large scale, which can solve the employment problem of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, and play a great role in both national development and social change.

Zhu Cihong's large-scale killing of merchants and scholars has already made the merchants frightened, if their status is improved and commercial development is encouraged, they can easily win the support of the merchants.

As a member of the Donglin Party, Shi Kefa originally supported businessmen, and now he heard Zhu Cihong say that he wanted to improve the status of businessmen and encourage commercial development, so he no longer hesitated at the moment and immediately expressed his support.

Zhu Cihong was very satisfied with his attitude and decided to report to Chongzhen and appoint Shi Kefa as the governor of Huguang.

On the second day, Zhu Cihong officially ordered the abolition of the status system of scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, and abolished the stipulation that merchants were not allowed to wear silk and satin to swagger through the market, and the rights and obligations of people of all classes were equal, as long as the people registered in the yellow book were required to pay taxes and have free occupation.

In terms of the army, Zhu Cihong abolished the military household system, completely abolished all guard posts in the provinces south of the Yangtze River, distributed all guard land and official land to several troops stationed in the local area, and recruited new soldiers.

There is still a year to go before the original five-year system of conscription, and although more than half of the soldiers should be willing to remain in the army, on the whole the number of professional soldiers will be greatly reduced, which will not be conducive to the war of unification that will be fought in a few years.

The total number of military tuns and official fields in the Daming Guard Station accounts for forty percent of the total cultivated land in the Ming Dynasty, and the fields are completely sufficient.

In the new-style education now being practiced in Jiangnan, middle school students have a military training course, and in a few years, when the world is more stable, Zhu Cihong will be able to implement the conscription system and engage in reserve service.

As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build more roads, and in terms of transportation, Zhu Cihong ordered to improve the transportation in various localities, build official roads, and repair grain harvests and roads, which will become the performance standards for local officials in various provinces in the next three years.

This is the first three-year plan of the Ming Dynasty formulated by Zhu Cihong, vigorously developing agriculture and infrastructure, and solving the problem of food and clothing for the people through work-for-relief.

When agriculture has developed to a certain extent, it will begin to implement a three-year plan for commercial development, and as for the first three-year plan, it depends on how well agriculture develops.

Zhu Cihong initially planned to open up several coastal cities as commercial ports in the four provinces of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong.

Since the opening of Longqing, the development of maritime trade in the Ming Dynasty has been rapid, and the coastal areas have been gradually opened up, as early as the 14th day of the first month of the 11th year of Chongzhen, Fu Yuanchu from the engineering department to the matter of asking the Chongzhen Emperor to open the Fujian sea ban, trade and pay.

After the commercial development reaches a certain level, the next step is to carry out industrialization, on the idea of developing steam engines, Zhu Cihong has been included in the key research projects of the Huangming Academy of Sciences, and allocated millions of taels of silver as research funds.

If you want to carry out the industrial revolution, it is difficult to get started without more than ten or twenty years, Zhu Cihong is not in a hurry, everything is slow, you can't become fat in one bite, and the country's development can't be ***, otherwise there will be endless troubles, and the Soviet Union is a living example.

Zhu Cihong's biggest advantage is that he is young, he has made a plan to completely eliminate the Manchu Qing within five years, solve the Mobei Mongolia, Wusizang, the Western Regions, and restore the territory of the heyday of the Ming Dynasty within ten years.

Within 20 years, he won the Southeast Peninsula, re-outplayed the influence of the Ming Dynasty overseas, and entered the era of colonial exploration.

If his strength is sufficient, he also plans to take Japan in the east, Siberia in the north, break the Womore Empire in the south, open up the Indian Ocean, and further afield is Australia and the Americas, so as to raise the country's prestige overseas and export Han culture to the world.

The blueprint of the goal is there, and what we have to do now is to complete it step by step, as for which step I can do in my lifetime, it depends on how old I can live......

Happy New Year's Day, everyone!
