After finishing talking about his strategic arrangements for the outside of the Saiwai, Zhu Linmiao said to Song Yingxing: "Song Pavilion Department, for the planning of the paving of the wooden track, you can write a recital sheet to me after you have agreed with someone." By the way, the corresponding rail cars should also be built in advance. ”

"Minister, Commander."

"As for the specific transfer of troops and horses outside the Guan, tomorrow the Ministry of War will convene a meeting of the General Staff Division, as well as the war in Shanxi and Henan, and they will also be deployed."

Yu Xin, Zhang Jiayu and others said together: "The last general will lead the order." ”

Only then did the ministers begin to perform specific government affairs. Yang Tinglin, who is also the secretary of the ministry, was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, now that Shaanxi, Shanxi, Shandong, Beizhili and other places have been preliminarily decided, the ministers and cabinet colleagues have roughly discussed a charter on the appointment of local officials, and they also invite the saint to take a look. ”

As he spoke, he gave a roster to Ma Wensheng.

Zhu Linmiao roughly flipped through it, and saw that he had arranged it properly, but he put the booklet aside and said, "For the time being, let's appoint the person recommended by Yang Ge Lao, after all, the local government can't be left unattended for a long time, but all these officials of the eighth rank and above are named 'temporary', and I will make adjustments at any time." ”

These newly recovered places are all large areas of real shortage, and Gezhike's examination will start soon, Zhu Linmi's move is to leave a place for Gezhike's students, to gradually balance the "liberal arts students" in the court.

Yang Tinglin bowed down and said yes, and continued: "Your Majesty, there is another new land in New Guinea, although there are less than a thousand people of the Ming Dynasty at present, but the minister thinks that this place is rich in products and will definitely become more and more prosperous in the future, so it is advisable to set up an official as soon as possible. ”

Zhu Linmiao nodded, "What Elder Yang Ge said is very true, the Australian side is also making rapid progress, so we have to arrange how to manage it as soon as possible." However, these overseas places are mainly used to supply Ming products and resources, and most of the local people are uncivilized natives, so it is not appropriate to copy the state and government model of the Central Plains.

"A governor is temporarily appointed as the head to take charge of the land, and there are two divisions of military and commercial affairs to assist the governor. The administration is still mainly based on the local people taking care of themselves, so as not to drag too much energy into the imperial court. How to set up specific officials and subordinates, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Commerce discussed together, and then played to me. ”

"Minister, Commander."

Yang Tinglin retreated, Zhang Canghai immediately stepped forward and said about the planting of potatoes and sweet potatoes in the new land of Jiangbei, and at the end, he said: "Your Majesty, the minister sent people to visit the field in Shandong, and found that the north of Jining is more suitable for planting jade wheat, so he asked people to prepare some seeds, I don't know if it can be ......."

Yumai? Zhu Linmiao was puzzled, and asked carefully, and according to Master Zhang's description, he finally figured out that what he was talking about should be corn.

This thing has been cultivated in Daming, but the scope is very small. Zhang Canghai was able to rise step by step because of his meritorious contribution to the promotion of potatoes and sweet potatoes, so he was extremely interested in new crops, and learned that the yield of jade wheat in the north was very high, so he did not hesitate to recommend it to the Son of Heaven.

Zhu Linmiao is also very happy, corn is also a treasure! Not only can it be used as a daily ration, but also as an excellent feed for military horses, of course, it is used to improve the physique of horses under special circumstances.

He immediately made a decision, "This is a good thing, since Zhang Butang has made preparations, then I can rest assured to promote it." By the way," he turned to Feng Kang and asked, "How is the land of Huangzhuang in Shandong measured?" ”

Gonggong Feng hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, the days are really too short at this time, and I only have time to collect the land and unclaimed land of the prisoners, and the detailed number of acres has not yet been unified." However, the slave maid was worried that the spring ploughing would be missed, so she arranged for people to gather the contractors first, make a contract, distribute seeds and farm tools for them to cultivate, and then make up the size of the land on the contract when the specific place was measured. ”

This eunuch knows how to be flexible, Zhu Linmiao is quite satisfied, and instructed: "If there is any land in Huangzhuang that has not been sown, you can plant some jade wheat." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered, isn't corn a good thing for interplanting? Intercropping is a powerful tool to increase yields and reduce pests and diseases, so why not give it a try?!

Potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn plus intercropping, the "golden fingers" in agriculture will soon all appear in Daming, and even in the Xiaoice River period in the future, there will be no serious famine in the land of China!

Of course, Zhu Linmiao only knows what the interplanting is about, but he doesn't know anything about the specific operation. But he believes that with the practical ability of the people of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they know this concept, they will soon be able to find a feasible plan.

So he looked at Zhang Canghai, "Wait a while, you stay in the Qianqing Palace, and I will teach you the method of interplanting." It is planted with wheat and soybeans, which is much higher than the yield of a single crop. ”

After that, the courtiers successively played important matters in the court.

The Criminal Department handed over a list of captured prisoners, totaling more than 2,300 people, except for more than 100 who were sentenced to punishment or beheaded, and the rest were all exiled with their families.

said that it was exile, but in fact, it was sent to Taiwan, Guinea, Australia and other places to do coolies, but just now the Son of Heaven set a strategy for the outside world, and these people have a new place to go - to repair wooden tracks. With the labor and medical conditions of this era, no matter where they go, they basically work to death.

Then the Ministry of Rites relayed that the two North Korean envoys both asked for the Ming Dynasty to be canonized, and made it clear who was the official reunification of Korea.

At present, there is a loyal battalion, ah, now it should be called the 3,000 soldiers and horses of the Ming overseas garrison stationed in North Korea, Li Liang and Li Ying did not dare to act rashly, only scolded each other across the Ming army camp.

Zhu Linmiao is not in a hurry, this situation is the most beneficial to Daming, and it will depend on who on both sides of them is more deferential to Daming in the future.

Then there is the construction of the Propaganda Department's mission in Jiangbei......

The Ministry of Commerce rebuilt Laizhou Port into a commercial port......

The military department has played the replenishment of new recruits and the equipment of new infantry guns......

After the ravages of the previous Ming Dynasty, it was the time when a hundred wastes were waiting to be lifted, and Zhu Linmiao, who had just returned to Nanjing to listen to the government, was busy until the time of the unitary, during which he passed two meals in the Qianqing Palace, and only then did he finish the big thing with the courtiers.

After the others were silent, Xu Erlu stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, three days later will be the day of the first examination of the Gezhi Branch of our dynasty, Your Majesty was busy with military affairs before, and this exam question has not yet been approved by the royal authorities. ”

As he spoke, he nodded to Yang Tinglin, Song Yingxing and others, and an official came with a small wooden box under the support of the forbidden army.

The three people in the cabinet, plus the two people from the Ministry of Rites and Song Yingxing, used the six keys before and after to open the box.

Xu Erlu took out more than ten pages from the box and respectfully presented them to the Son of Heaven, "Your Majesty, the exam questions are based on the textbooks of the Gezhi Academy, written by the Song Pavilion Department, and the ministers and the Ministry of Industry Fang Shilang help from the side, so that Your Majesty can choose." ”
