There is not much movement in local government affairs, but a large adjustment has been made in military affairs!

The first thing is to completely abolish the officers and soldiers of the guard, and all those who are in the guardhouse will be removed from the military status, and the elite among them will be selected to enter the towns, and the imperial court will supplement the military salary and become recruits; The old and infirm were given land to become peasants, exempted from taxes for five years; From now on, the generals of the provincial health stations will be recalled to the military department in batches for assessment, and those who pass the assessment will be appointed separately and dispersed to serve in various military towns.

The defense of the provinces was handed over to the joint jurisdiction of the commander and the general army, and Yunnan, Guizhou, Fujian, Guangdong, Guizhou, and Jiangxi each deployed a town of troops in the key chong and Ningjing places; Sichuan, Huguang, Zhejiang, Shaanxi two towns each troops, Nanzhili two towns troops, Ying Tianfu four towns troops, in addition to the three towns of Nanjing, in the preparation to build a town, the formation of the Beijing army, a total of 20 town troops, 20 general officers, one town of troops provinces, all command by the general soldiers; If the two towns have more than the strength of the provinces, a governor will be set up to lead the military affairs of a province, and the approved personnel of each town will be 18,000 people, and the four towns of Nanjing will be used as the Beijing army, and each town will be equipped with 2,000 musket troops to form a musket infantry battalion.

In addition to the 25 towns on land, the Ming Royal Navy Fujian Naval Division and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Naval Divisions were set up to serve as the two town water divisions, Zheng Zhilong, the chief soldier of the Fujian Water Division, and Zheng Haotian, the chief soldier of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Water Division. Xu Yifan was the governor of Tianwei Army with the left squire of the military department, responsible for the military affairs of Henan, and coordinated all the wars in the Central Plains, and Qin Mufeng was the governor of the Beijing Army, responsible for the military affairs of Jianghuai; Li Dingguo, the governor of Shaanxi Military Affairs, led his troops to the north to defend the Qing army in Shanxi to the south; Huang Degong was the governor of Huguang Military Affairs, and was responsible for guarding against Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, so as to prevent Zhang Xianzhong from killing Sichuan again;

In military affairs, Zhu Jie is naturally an expert, and he will not put his beak too much, even Sun Chuanting will bow to the wind, he is ashamed of himself, the emperor formulates a strategy, and implements it himself, there will be absolutely no mistakes!

After deploying military affairs, Zhu Jie once again threw a big move - the establishment of the Royal Academy of Sciences, which is responsible for national exploration, astronomy, legislation, and research on various instruments and ordnance; Song Yingxing became the first president of the Academy of Sciences.

The establishment of the Royal Academy of Sciences alone did not cause an uproar, and the worst thing was that Zhu Jie gave a big gift to the Royal Academy of Sciences - the first thing was to seal Song Yingxing as Wen Yunhou, since Song Yingxing, every subsequent president of the Royal Academy of Sciences has all been Wen Yunhou Marquis, and it will never be easier; All scholars selected for the Royal Academy of Sciences will be given the title of viscount, and those who have made outstanding contributions can even be promoted to barons or even earls!

As soon as the news came out, the entire government and the opposition were boiling, that is, some masons and carpenters, who could get knighthoods? Wiped, is there any heavenly reason? Is there any heavenly reason? Not only the military generals, even the civil servants are mostly dissatisfied, extremely dissatisfied, many courtiers have worked hard for the country for decades, but they have never won the title, the Ming Dynasty has always been promoted to Yi, to get the knight, there is a law that non-military merits are not allowed to be knighted, even if Liu Bowen is so much credit, it is just a sincere uncle, it is too difficult!

However, Zhu Jie was unmoved, in a word, all the scholars of the Royal Academy of Sciences must be awarded knighthoods, of course, if you want to enter the Royal Academy of Sciences, there are absolutely strict requirements, you must be jointly recommended by three scholars of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and submitted to the Royal Academy for deliberation and assessment, before you can enter, and at the same time, you must be probationary in the Academy of Sciences for a year, and only after passing the assessment can you stay in the Royal Academy of Sciences, and the Royal Academy of Sciences only has ten Han quotas and five Fanbang quotas every year, which is a real honor. You must know that in the entire Ming Dynasty, even Shangshu, there are more than a dozen!

Zhu Jie not only granted these people knighthoods, but the Royal Academy set up a royal reward system, with gold medals and silver taels awarded to the first class; the second class will give a silver medal and a reward of 5,000 taels of silver; The third class will give a bronze medal, a reward of three thousand taels of silver, which person can research enough results in the future, the royal family will not hesitate to reward, in addition to this annual review of the reward system, but also to the invention and creation, research results of the person to commend, as long as their achievements in the Royal Academy of Sciences through the audit, then you can receive a certain reward, the highest, the reward up to 1,000 taels of silver!

As soon as the regulations were established, Zhu Jie gave Song Yingxing the first-class gold medal to commend Song Yingxing's "Sky Creation", an immortal masterpiece, and the second-class silver medal was given to Mao Yuanyi, commending Mao Yuanyi's "Illustrated Armaments"; The third-class bronze medal was given to Bi Maokang, in recognition of his development of the first flintlock musket of the Ming Dynasty, a real reward, a royal gift from the emperor, and a large amount of silver, all of which exceeded their one-year, or even three-year salary!

Even Sun Chuanting is a little red-eyed, what kind of play does this emperor want to play? In this Ming Dynasty, there are countless scholars with equal works, and Jiangnan is even more talented, but there is nothing to do without these masters and scholars, and the rewards are given to these people who study the sideways! What is this called? Could it be that now that the protégés of Confucius and Mencius are worthless, when did the way of Confucius and Mencius become so worthless?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks this matter is inappropriate, it's very inappropriate!"

Sun Chuanting was in the court during the day, and it was inconvenient to publicly refute the emperor, after all, the new emperor had just ascended the throne, and his authority must be maintained, so he had to wait until late at night before entering the palace to ask for a meeting, and raised objections to Zhu Jie again.

"Tell me, what's wrong?"

Zhu Jie said with a smile.

Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, from ancient times to the present, the way of Confucius and Mencius is the foundation of the country of the inner and outer kings, which cannot be shaken, above the court, almost all the officials are saints' protégés, and now you will raise the high level of the study of things, but the penniless Confucianism will inevitably cause criticism among the officials in the DPRK and China, and the officials are dissatisfied, and they have no intention of political affairs or even the corpse on it, which is harmful to the government and has no benefit......

Zhu Jie stood up, sighed often, and replied: "Lord Sun, you only know one thing, you don't know the other, this era is no longer the era of the ancient pre-Qin or Han and Tang dynasties, this era will be an era of great changes, the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty and even the next hundreds or even thousands of years of national glory, it will all depend on these people, Confucianism can guarantee my Ming Dynasty's moral prosperity, but it cannot guarantee my benefits from the Chinese soldiers, Confucianism can guarantee that I know the book and reason, But there is no guarantee that I can master the supreme rite of the operation of heaven and earth, Confucianism cannot be abolished, however, this study of things cannot be abandoned, do you know why I promoted Bi Maokang and Song Yingxing into the cabinet? Because the two of them are the best in the world, and they compete for the future world, relying on muskets and artillery, not these swords, guns, and halberds, the way of the world is going to change......"
