Hearing Zhu Cihong say that he wanted to make big news, everyone's expressions suddenly became solemn. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhu Cihong continued: "Previously, the expeditionary company traveled across the ocean, went to Japan in advance, and reopened the trade gate. The Japanese shogun expressed his desire for China. I thought about it and planned to go on a foreign mission. The first stop is to visit North Korea, and the second stop depends on the situation, of course, there should be no big problem, and there will be a state visit to Japan. ”

Zhu Cihong said, everyone was silent about their big eyes and small eyes.

Maybe it was because of Zhu Cihong's surprise attack many times, and everyone has immunity now.

At least, there was no such thing as an uproar in the audience, and they were surprised to object.

Zhu Cihong has never been a joker. Since Zhu Cihong already has this plan and has planned it carefully, then......

Most of the time, as ministers, they only have the share of obedient execution. What's more, His Majesty the Emperor has a grand prestige at the moment, and if he wants to make a state visit, whether it is for the sake of the empire or for his own fun, they don't seem to find a reason to oppose it......

What's more, looking at Zhu Cihong's appearance, everyone even expects that His Majesty the Emperor's next words will open the door to a new world and understand how beneficial this state visit is.

You must know that people who are often anxious to oppose His Majesty the Emperor will suddenly realize how powerful Zhu Cihong is.

In the end, it was Li Banghua who broke the silence, and as the prime minister, he may be the only person who has the ability to stop him.

He pondered for a while, and quietly made up his mind a plan: "Your Majesty, foreign affairs are certainly an important part of state affairs. However, in the name of a small state, it should be the foreign countries who first came to my Ming Dynasty to worship and worship in China. How can there be a reason why the king of a kingdom in my heavenly kingdom can easily go out? With the blessings of Korea and Japan, I am afraid that I can't afford it. ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately bowed their heads.

Li Banghua's words seemed arrogant and arrogant to later generations, but as long as you think about the strength and prestige of the Ming Empire, you can understand this.

Moreover, the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Japan and North Korea can also be compared with another analogy. It is as if the US imperialism in later generations and its younger brothers, the Philippines and Australia, are called allies, but in fact there is still a question of which is more important. It's as if U.S. President Donald Trump is treating the other country's head of state to congratulate him, or to seek support for a state visit. Instead of the other way around, before Australia could react, Trump went to Australia for a state visit.

Even if there is something important, it must be that people respectfully invite His Majesty the Emperor to pay a state visit to his vassal state, and then Zhu Cihong will go over with dignity.

Li Banghua's reason is very convincing, Zhu Cihong smiled, and he also felt that it was appropriate.

But then, Li Banghua changed his words and said: "What's more, the government affairs in the country are busy at the moment. I would like to ask Your Majesty to wait until the two sovereigns pay tribute and respectfully invite Your Majesty to visit, and then talk about this matter. ”

If the former still holds Daming and says Zhu Cihong well, the latter is a problem that cannot be bypassed. Zhu Cihong sighed in his heart that Jiang was still old and spicy, a procrastination trick, reasonable, and convincing.

The busyness of state affairs is not something that can be explained clearly in a few simple words, and Zhu Cihong is far away in Liaodong, which has already made the handling of government affairs between the DPRK and China have to be suspended. If Zhu Cihong goes overseas again, there will really be no news. If a piece of music had to wait for a year and a half, the development of the empire would have to come to a halt.

The courtiers had a much deeper understanding of this than they had not yet had much contact with foreign affairs.

The officials who can appear here are naturally high-ranking officials, and the only approval power for many things in their hands is only in Zhu Cihong's hands.

If His Majesty the Emperor does not approve it, they will not be able to do their business.

Although Zhu Cihong has delegated a certain amount of approval authority, Li Banghua, as the prime minister of the empire, can also make decisions on most things. But when it comes to major matters, without Zhu Cihong's nod, it still can't be handled.

Even, there are some century-old plans, if there is no Zhu Cihong's personal attention, even the ministers who actually undertake it have no bottom in their hearts.

The Education Administration, for example, is extremely concerned about this. Ten years of trees and a hundred years of people, education matters, non-ten years of work can not be effective. As for ten years, it is enough time for a department to usher in a third governor. At that time, the credit belonged to others, and what process in the process of doing things in the middle was your own. If His Majesty the Emperor didn't know, understand the merits and demerits, and support everything, Zhu Zhiyu and the others couldn't help but feel worried.

Speaking of this, the courtiers all seemed to be deeply moved and discussed.

"Liaodong's big victory, this is a very festive thing. At that time, the Grand Ceremony Department and Taichang Temple have been busy and dizzy these days. Coupled with a state visit, the Ministry of Rites will not be able to reach it. ”

"After the war, the Privy Council was also very busy."

"There is also the issue of the restoration of the system in Liaodong after the war, the personnel deployment of officials in a province, and the division of prefectures and counties, which is a busy time. From the governor to the magistrate, this body needs His Majesty's approval......"

……

Seeing that everyone was aggrieved, although Zhu Cihong knew that no one said that he blamed him, but what he said was obviously what he meant. Everyone looked at Zhu Cihong, and they were really afraid that Zhu Cihong would run away.

Zhu Cihong clapped his hands helplessly, calmed everyone down, and his eyes fell on him, and said: "I have indeed thought deeply about this, so this time, I want to solve this problem." ”

After that, Zhu Cihong took out a white notebook.

On the white notebook, there are four huge words: "Ming Dingguo is"

It is a state affair, not a state affair. The courtiers, who were in the work of writing, quickly understood the meaning of this.

"The state is" refers to the national plan, the country's guidelines, theoretical foundations, principles and policies. In other words, Zhu Cihong now intends to clearly determine the future development direction of the country, the guidelines for state affairs, and all other basic foundations.

In other words, for the current government affairs of the Ming Empire, Zhu Cihong is actually quite disdainful.

Although in all fairness, the current governance of the Ming Dynasty has become much stronger than in the past. But the goods have to be thrown away, and the people have to die more than the people. Zhu Cihong is not an ignorant child.

His Majesty the Emperor came from the afterlife, and his vision was naturally beyond the ordinary.

Regardless of the fact that the officials of the various ministries are dedicated to their own work, the General Administration of Education and the Ministry of Rites are dedicated to the construction of schools, the Ministry of Industry is developing science and technology, and all the ministries are performing their duties, and they all have some ambitions to try to make a career.

But in Zhu Cihong's view, there is a miserable place here.

That's ...... It's too messy.

Li Banghua is the prime minister of a country, and most of the time he mediates conflicts over development plans. In other words, the development plan of the empire is very arbitrary, without unified planning and scientific research.

In more detail, the ministries have come up with new projects for their own work, such as adding schools and building roads, which are all gratifying things. However, the proposed plan is only the first step, and it is necessary to allocate manpower, material resources, and the most critical financial resources to continue its implementation.

As mentioned above, the household department of Daming is often just a general accounting department, which can only settle accounts. After Zhu Cihong ascended the throne, the situation greatly improved. However, the Empire's financial expenditures were still inadequate.

For example, there is no budget in this era.

"Determine the country, set the budget......" Zhu Cihong gently pronounced these two words, and it was like two depth charges falling into the ocean, and the fish inside were blown up.

Either way, it's something new.

But again, either point is clearly helpful to solve the problem of His Majesty the Emperor's distance from Beijing.

Although Li Banghua had a more core question in his mind that had not been raised, the courtiers had already attracted all their attention by the two keywords of Zhu Cihong.

For a while, everyone gathered in front of Zhu Cihong and chattered.

"Your Majesty, what is this Ming Dingguo? But in the future, major political matters will be announced first? ”

"Who should approve such an announcement?"

"And what's the matter with this budget? But do you calculate the cost in advance? ”

……

Two fresh things aroused everyone's great interest, Zhu Cihong squinted at everyone, and slowly bowed: "That's right, that's the kind of thing." ”

Li Banghua gradually heard the meaning, and also leaned over, everyone asked and answered, discussed eagerly, and soon understood what Zhu Cihong said about Ming Dingguo.

The so-called Ming Dingguo does not mean that Zhu Cihong wants to make any changes.

Reforms, in fact, happen every day. How could His Majesty the Emperor, who had a vision far beyond the hundreds of years of his peers, tolerate the dreary pedantry of the Empire? Naturally, it is bold and not afraid of difficulties and obstacles.

Whether it is in Henan, or facing the clan, or even facing the gentry of the world, Zhu Cihong has the ability.

In Zhu Cihong's place, it is clear that the country is, in fact, it is easier to understand, and Zhu Cihong plans to carry out a five-year plan. Today, most of the Ming officials serve for about three years. Since the Cabinet Scholar was originally only a literary position for the five ranks, it actually became an irregular longevity position. How long you can stay in office really depends on how strong your authority is.

Politically, tenure is a very important issue.

If the term of office is too long, we must think more about the truth that running water does not rot and the hub does not beetle. If the term of office is too short, then we have to worry about the officials rushing for quick success and not thinking about the long-term.

Zhu Cihong made a long choice and finally decided to take a five-year term as a term.

During this term, it is not possible for ministers to come up with a plan every day, and then deploy it to all parties. Or Zhu Cihong took the initiative and tried to reform.

For Zhu Cihong, Li Banghua and Yang Wenyue are both reliable people in the old city. In particular, Li Banghua was vigorous and resolute when he was in Beijing, with tough methods and strong execution ability.

But such a person is often not an idea, although Li Banghua intends to promote innovation, it is inevitable that Zhu Cihong will look down on those things that beat the side drum.

Therefore, Zhu Cihong decided to clearly define the state and put it at the top of a five-year term of office.

In this way, the strategy of the empire's development can be clearly defined. When the time comes, there is no need to frequently ask His Majesty the Emperor, so that Zhu Cihong will not tire of it. Second, make a plan at the beginning, and there is no need to reallocate resources at that time, which greatly reduces internal friction.

With all these benefits, everyone can't help but pat their thighs and admire the wisdom of His Majesty the Emperor just thinking about it.

This point really makes everyone feel from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhu Cihong smiled and received praise from everyone, and couldn't help but feel a little complacent in his heart: "Lazy people are really the source of social progress......

After complaining slightly, Fu Shuxun hurriedly bypassed everyone, found a plan and hurriedly told all his questions: "Please play Your Majesty, what is this budget system?" What's the point? At present, there is a shortage of people in the household department, and if a new system is opened, it will also require a lot of manpower. There is also this gain, and the household inventory is also extremely tight. And this budget system, who will approve it? ”

Zhu Cihong did not rush to answer the question, but after the Zhongshu people around him recorded Fu Shuxun's conversation, Zhu Cihong took the draft and read it carefully.

As far as the courtiers are concerned, when the emperor asks questions, he either directly admits that he needs to go back and check it, or he has to reply on the spot immediately.

But for the emperor, the questions of the courtiers can be answered calmly. If you are unhappy, you can ignore one of them first. Of course, Zhu Cihong will not be so irresponsible.

Despite this, as an emperor, Zhu Cihong still has many advantages.

For example, the historians who were always observing the emperor's words and deeds would write a living note. And Zhu Cihong can also let the people around him record the conversations of the ministers one by one. For example, right now, Zhu Cihong doesn't have to remember them one by one and reply immediately, but can look at them slowly and think slowly.

After such a buffer, for Fu Shuxun's question, Zhu Cihong already had an outline of the answer in his heart.

The so-called budget system is, in the final analysis, a tool.

There is no doubt that this is an advanced tool, a very useful and effective tool in statecraft.

Of course, in the first place, this was not a tool created out of the need for statecraft. It's a tool born out of struggle.

The result of the checks and balances on the power of the budgetary system. If you want to count history, as the earliest establishment of a constitutional system in the United Kingdom, the emergence of its constitutional form of government is often a struggle for fiscal power with taxation as the center.

The emergence of the budget system began with the power game between the bourgeoisie, the aristocracy and the king. Through constant fiscal restraint and supervision, Britain established a budget system. In turn, in turn, regulate the checks and balances on the government. Finally, the constitutional system was completed.

For Zhu Cihong, the situation is actually somewhat reversed.

Today, Zhu Cihong is not worried about being limited by the nobles and ministers fighting to limit the emperor's power.

In this regard, Zhu Cihong has a mood of being rigid without desire. To put it simply, why did the emperor expand his power? It's nothing more than having desires, and most desires start with money.

Establish a palace, conquer a country, be obsessed with all things, and be obsessed with beauty. It all costs money.

But Zhu Cihong is obviously different.
