"Globes? My lord, I have only heard of the armillary sphere, as the name suggests, the armillary sphere is to survey the sun, moon and stars, what is this globe?

What is Earth? Can you eat it? ”

Jiang Datong, the envoy of Nanzhen Fusi, was born in a martial arts and spoke more straightforwardly.

"Go and go, don't be foolish if you don't know!" Liu Hong almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, this big old man actually wants to eat the earth?

"Look farther, don't learn from those pedantic old pedants, regard the Ming Dynasty as the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and know that the broom is self-cherishing all day long.

You see, this is Da Ming. ”

Liu Hong gradually fiddled with the globe, found the location of China, and pointed it out to his subordinates.

"Although the Ming Dynasty is large, it only occupies a small area in this sphere, you see, in the west, there are many countries, they may not have a large territory, but they develop quickly.

What I want you to do is to spread the monitoring net of Jinyiwei to the west and south after the New Year. Liu Hong gradually pointed to Western Europe and South Asia.

"The Ministry of Ceremonies should have a full-time interpreter, Lao Liang, you need to select at least a hundred capable people to go to the Ministry of Ceremonies to study the Chinese language, I will ask the emperor to explain this matter, and there is no delay."

I want you to establish an overseas intelligence network as quickly as possible, and collect all the information that is useful to our Ming Dynasty, such as the customs, maps, and military affairs of Western countries. ”

Open your eyes to the world, when you start from now, although the Ming Dynasty does not have the conditions to form a water division now, but the intelligence network must be rolled out.

"Besides, all the brothers who go abroad on an errand will be given double the monthly salary, and they will do a good job for the official, and the official will not treat you badly!"

If you want the horse to run, you have to be willing to give grass, the Chinese have never liked to wander outside, let alone go abroad, double the moon is not too much.

But this extra double salary, the household department will definitely refuse to pay, it seems that the factory has to step up construction, otherwise it will not take a year and a half, and the official's family will have to eat up.

"Obedience!" More than a dozen high-level Jinyi guards gladly accepted the order.

Although Jinyiwei was majestic, Liu Hong gradually strictly forbade Jinyiwei personnel to be greedy for ink, and if they were found to be dismissed from their posts and imprisoned.

And the new errand, although a bit inexplicable, but whatever! There is work to do, and there is double the monthly salary, and the rest is to do the work well!

After explaining a few words to Liang Yang about the supervision of Huangzhuang, Liu Hong gradually hurriedly walked out of the Jinyi Wei Yamen.

Seeing that the sun has passed noon, this busy work has been for most of the day, lunch has not yet landed, the family thinks that they have already had lunch, well, where to eat a meal?

Liu Hong pondered slowly for a while, and suddenly thought that according to the agreement with the emperor, it was time to give a lesson to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today.

Well, the meal was settled in the palace! Liu Hong gradually smiled, beat his horse and walked towards the palace.

When he arrived at the Wenhua Palace, the prince Zhu Cihong had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Liu Hongchuan, he also quickly got up and saluted, Liu Hongjian didn't dare to stand it, but arched his hand and motioned for the prince to sit down.

"Master Liu worked hard!" Seeing that Liu Hongjian sat down and didn't speak, Zhu Cihong had no choice but to signal that Liu Hongjian could start teaching.

"Don't hide it from Your Highness, Wechen has been busy for a long time and hasn't eaten, so I bother Your Highness to get some food for Wechen to pad his stomach!"

As a courtier, it is somewhat inappropriate to rub food on his students on such an occasion, but Liu Hong gradually doesn't think so, this is a teacher, and the emperor does not pay a salary, how can there be a reason to work in vain.

There is another question, this time he came in a hurry, Liu Hong gradually thought about it all the way, and he didn't expect that he could teach the prince something, which was a little embarrassing.

Fortunately, the prince is more 'loyal', and when he heard that Master Liu was hungry, he immediately sent someone to pass the meal.

After a while, a few side dishes and a pot of wine were served.

After tossing for most of the day, I was really hungry, and Liu Hongjian was not polite, and ate it in front of the prince.

The prince sat at the table without saying much, quietly waiting for Master Liu to finish eating.

"How does Your Highness think that a monarch should govern the world?" Liu Hong gradually threw out a question while eating.

"Master Liu, this palace thinks that we should take our father as an example, be diligent in government affairs, and select talents and talents......"

"Stop—stop, Your Highness,

In the future, His Royal Highness should not call the minister Master Liu, it seems that it is inappropriate to do it like the minister is seventy or eighty. ”

"What did Hongu call you?"

"This ...... Whatever, we can't be wrong how old we are, just call me Lao Liu in private! ”

"This doesn't seem appropriate......" Zhu Cihong was a little embarrassed.

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just a title, does Your Highness really take the current emperor as an example?"

"Yes, my father has been diligent in political affairs and worked tirelessly all his life, shouldn't this be the case for a monarch?"

Liu Hong gradually became speechless, when the emperor was about to hang himself, he was still diligent, what was the use of being diligent!

Alas, the prince was all badly taught.

"Take a chestnut.

There are two such county officials, one of them, who is honest and honest, flaunts his integrity, and is not afraid of the strong, and when he sees that you are wrong, he will admonish him to death, impassioned, even if you want to cut off his head, he will twist his neck and tell you the truth.

But not only the jingle of his own poverty, but also the people under his rule are also poor jingle.

On the other hand, in addition to handling official business, he privately went in and out of restaurants and other places with powerful people and businessmen, but the people under his rule were able to live and work in peace and contentment, and they were in good order.

Your Highness, if it were you, which one would you use? ”

"This ...... I think that we should use honest and honest people, another person who makes friends with businessmen, there must be greed for ink, my father said that the Ming Dynasty was tossed to such a point by these corrupt officials. ”

Zhu Cihong thought for a moment and said seriously.

You know it's so! Liu Hongjian was a little disappointed with the prince's answer in his heart, which was simply carved out of the same mold as Chongzhen.

If a so-called clean official, who is poor, can't eat enough, how can he let the people of the county live a good life?

On the other hand, even if an official has some minor problems with greedy ink, but the governance methods are very clever and can allow the people to eat, from the perspective of a modern person, which can be used and which cannot be used, isn't it obvious?

In all fairness, the people are not afraid of officials being greedy for ink, but they are afraid that officials will not do anything, not only now, but even more so in future generations.

Take the civil servants of later generations as an example, the head of a county, the salary is three thousand five yuan, counting all the subsidies, four thousand five hundred yuan!

This salary is basically the same as that of the workers in the Jiangnan Leather Factory in later generations, it is nothing more than the latter working extra hours.

It's easy to be an ordinary electronics factory worker, but to become a county magistrate, the hard work is not enough for outsiders.

Just imagine, if you have worked hard for several years to become the county magistrate, but you can't even afford to buy a house with your salary, what do you think?

The salaries of officials in the Celestial Empire have not been high since ancient times, and Zhu Chongba is called Huazi, who hates corrupt officials, and sets the salaries of officials even lower than that is outrageous.

In Liu Hongji's view, you can't want the horses to run, but also want the horses not to eat grass, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world.

Either pay people high wages and then increase surveillance, or ...... Think for yourself, the wildfire can't be burned, and the corrupt officials blow and live.

"Whether to use Qingliu or to use the followers, Your Highness should not be in a hurry to reply, you need to think about it.

I'll come back the day after tomorrow and go! ”

After eating and drinking, Liu Hong gradually wiped his mouth and flicked his sleeves out of the Wenhua Palace, leaving Zhu Cihong alone in a daze.

"Clear stream? Followers? ”
