Chapter 1306: The Coming of All Nations (1)

The eighth day of the first month of the fifteenth year of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Early in the morning, when Su Tiancheng woke up, a ray of sunlight came in through the window, and the room was very bright.

Today is the day of the early dynasty, and it is also the time to go to work on the first day of the new year, the time of the previous dynasty has long been changed to the time of the Chen, the rules of the previous dynasty have been abolished, and there are not so many people involved in the early dynasty, the main officials of Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province, and Menxia Province, the left and right envoys of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the six Shangshu, the left and right servants, if necessary, the person in charge of the six temples and nine Qings will also participate, but this situation is rare, and the responsibilities of each department are clear.

In the first morning of the new year, there are more officials involved, which is a form and a fixed procedure.

Zhu Xianxin had already gotten up and prepared all the utensils for washing.

The great changes in the palace were a huge shock to the officials and the common people.

After so many years, the emperor has not married a woman, the palace is the queen mother and the imperial concubine, His Royal Highness the prince has already married, but there are four women around him, and as time goes by, many eunuchs have died, and the number of people in the palace has gradually decreased, because of the strict regulations of the Great Jin Dynasty, it is impossible for the people to continue to be castrated, and the eunuchs are gradually becoming history.

The number of palace maids has decreased sharply, according to the emperor, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all their own worries, and family life has a lot of secret places, no need for outsiders to see, let alone outsiders to serve, just do it yourself, and the palace maids have been in the palace for a long time, delaying their youth and the time to start a family. In the palace all day, how can you see Ruyi Langjun.

The emperor is like this, and the rest of the civil and military ministers will never dare to be presumptuous, and they are strictly controlled in terms of personal pleasure, and they are under the emperor's proposal. The imperial court passed regulations on strict economy, and everyone was to abide by them.

Needless to say, thrift has become a habit, and extravagance and waste are despised.

As for the wealth of the Great Jin Dynasty, it is not something that can be expressed in simple words, many vassal states have begged to become Fuzhou counties under the rule of the Great Jin Dynasty, but unfortunately the emperor does not allow it, as for the many blonde and blue-eyed barbarians in the Western Regions. Countless people came to the Great Jin Dynasty, either in the capital, or in Shandong, or in Zhejiang, Guangdong and other places, and since then they have settled down and become the people of the Great Jin Dynasty, and such an immigration boom has lasted for nearly ten years.

The biggest change is in Japan. Japanese rulers have always considered the Han, Tang, and Song dynasties to represent the standard Confucian culture, as for the later Ming dynasty. There are even some Japanese who believe that Japan truly represents Confucian culture, but with the wealth and strength of the Jin Dynasty and the wide spread of Confucian culture, countless outstanding Japanese youth. Drifting across the ocean and coming to Dajin, many people entered the Dajin court as officials, and some people lived in Dajin when they were young and entered the school. Participating in the imperial examination, from beginning to end, they are basically people from the Great Jin.

Since the seventh year of the Great Jin Dynasty, the fully unified Great Jin Dynasty has ushered in many worshippers.

After the extermination of the Houjin Tartars, the Great Jin Dynasty was fully transferred to economic construction.

Of course, the construction of the army cannot be relaxed; the total strength of the Jiangning battalion is maintained at 500,000, of which about 100,000 are professional officers and non-commissioned officers, and the rest of the non-commissioned officers are all recruited under the recruitment system; men between the ages of 18 and 30 are all in the ranks of military service, and after enlisting in the army, they will serve in the military for five years.

The total number of forbidden troops in the capital is still 20,000, but it is very elite, ordinary people don't think about having the opportunity to enter at all, the treatment of the forbidden army is higher than that of the Jiangning battalion, and the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion have to conduct a big competition every year, and especially excellent sergeants have the opportunity to enter the ranks of the forbidden army after training.

The status of the army and the military has been unprecedentedly improved, mainly because the status of the army and the military in the imperial court is completely different, although the imperial court adopts the military service system, but because the number of the army is too small, a large number of young people want to enter the army every year, and it is difficult to really become a soldier.

With the status of a soldier and excellent performance, he can pass the internal examination of the army, directly enter the imperial court, and serve as an official in the imperial court or locality, which further highlights the advantages of the military.

However, the rules of the imperial court are still strict, that is, the army is under the absolute control of the emperor, obeys the orders of the Governor's Office and the Ministry of War, and is not allowed to interfere in local affairs, except in special circumstances.

The forbidden army in the capital is mainly responsible for protecting the safety of the palace, and the security of the capital is also directly responsible for the five cities of the Terracotta Division, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Ying Tianfu Ya, and the local inspection department is not part of the army.

The biggest change is still in the school.

With the development of the economy, the imperial court has invested more and more in education, for example, in the capital, there are more than 20 schools dedicated to basic education, and the number of schools in the general provincial capital is more than ten, and the location of the government is based on the number of people, where there are many people in the south, there are more than ten schools, and the county government generally has more than five schools, and some particularly remote places with a small population, such as the grassland area, the number of schools is obviously less, and there may only be one or two schools.

There are more and more schools, and there are more and more readers, because of the fairness of the imperial examination, coupled with the fact that it is engaged in business and other activities, it also requires a certain amount of knowledge, and the common people pay more and more attention to the matter of children's reading.

The tuition fees are borne by the government, which also encourages more children to enter the school.

Of course, there are still some gaps in girls' education, and the government is working hard to get more girls into the school.

The biggest change in the local area is Matsue Prefecture.

After Songjiang Mansion was identified as another port by the Jin Dynasty, the development was very rapid, strictly speaking, the port scale of Songjiang Mansion exceeded the port scale of Dengzhou, and the development of the port. The local economy is very large, Songjiang Mansion quickly became the center of the gathering of merchants, people from the Western Regions also entered to live here, after the discussion of the imperial court, the place of Songjiang Mansion was specially demarcated, and it became a special commercial center.

This is followed by Guangdong and Fujian. Because of its special geographical location, it has also become a commercial and trade center second only to Songjiang Prefecture and Dengju Prefecture.

With the increasing number of large-scale workshops, the common people have more and more choices, and there is always something to do when the farming is not working, and some farmers slowly begin to get rid of the matter of cultivating the land, and they do things in the workshop, and the money they earn is enough to support their families.

The development of the military industry and science and technology. It is also remarkable, the imperial court invests a lot of money every year, specializing in the research and development of military industry and the development of science and technology, in this regard, even Su Tiancheng did not expect, because of the increase in large-scale workshops, because of the needs of the market, the prototype of the steam engine actually appeared in the Great Jin, after the appearance of the steam engine. It quickly gained the attention of the imperial court and began to increase its research. How to implement the improvements.

The wave of industrialization will inevitably enter a new stage with the emergence of the steam engine.

Of course, regrets exist, and Su Tiancheng saw it very clearly.

With the development of the economy, the fixed pattern of feudal society is slowly being shaken, and this shaking is intensifying. Imperial power must be affected, this is originally a phenomenon of social progress, Su Tiancheng is clear and supportive, but the rapid growth of commercial capital. It is not necessarily a particularly good thing, this must be controlled, once a commercial oligarchy is formed, it will inevitably influence politics, everything is to serve commercial interests, such a situation will definitely have a negative impact on the future development of the Great Jin.

Capital operations have just begun to emerge, but the power is huge enough to affect everything.

The emperor of the most Great Jin Dynasty, Su Tiancheng paid close attention to all this, as for how to face and prevent all this, there are people who specialize in this research, Su Tiancheng will not care so much.

The world is always progressive, there is no perfect thing, even if the Great Jin Dynasty develops rapidly, maybe a few decades, maybe a hundred years later, it will encounter too many changes, Su Tiancheng was full of passion in his heart before, but now he has calmed down, thinking that there are still fewer factors to intervene, and try to follow the law of development.

When he walked towards the Imperial Palace, Zhu Xianxuan was already waiting outside the Qianqing Palace.

Generally, the early dynasty is in the Qianqing Palace, but the first early dynasty after the New Year is generally arranged in the Huangji Palace.

Zhu Xianxuan is old, with white hair, but his spirit is very good, he has controlled power for more than ten years, he has been very different from before, his own majesty is undoubtedly revealed, there was a period of time, Zhu Xianxuan was very worried, it is not a good thing to have a high merit, but the emperor has never had such an idea, and the requirements for him are also very clear, just do things according to the rules, don't break the rules, don't have such an idea of the merit and the master.

More than ten years have passed, and Zhu Xianxuan's requirements for himself and his family are quite good, but it is impossible to say that he has not taken care of him at all, after all, his sister is the queen, and his nephew is His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Lao Zhu, it looks like you're in good health, it's another year starting, the plan of the year lies in spring, you have to be busy."

"Your Majesty, this is the duty of the minister, the candidates for the admission of officials will be carried out this year, the minister is still worried, there are always not enough officials in the court and the localities, and the emperor should be relaxed, so many years have passed, and the establishment of officials has not increased much."

"This year, it is time to increase some, the focus is on the household department, the business and trade section, to increase the intensity of jurisdiction, and the external area, the envoys who are stationed outside, in five years, it is time to adjust."
