Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty-Six Angels of the Kingdom
The Tang Dynasty did not have a vegetarian pop culture, which only shows that the Japanese were too poor before this.
The sea fish is not eaten as a whole, but only the fish pieces are divided into pieces. The radish cooked with sauce is all filled with small plates. It looks very exquisite and also makes the supply of Dawei porcelain in short supply. However, the portion is small, so I can’t see fat people in Japan, and there are not many big men.
Apart from the Japanese, people from overseas countries were everywhere.
Many of the Luzon people with short hair are Chinese businessmen. They have been moving to Luzon for more than two hundred years, and their hairstyles are similar to those of the Luzon people.
The three Buddhas with their radiance walked by with their rosary beads in their hands. Their skin was dark, they were short, with deep eyes and flat noses, and they looked quite strange.
Whether it is the Eastern or Western, Japanese, Luzon, Sanfoqi, Manta, or Zhenla, or Siamese, almost all people from all countries can see it.
But Chen Daojian discovered one thing: there are fewer large merchants among all countries, most of whom are crew members, sailors, or escorts.
Many merchant ships from various countries are in charge of Wei people, lords, merchants, and ship owners. Seven out of ten are Wei people. Whether it is the current Great Wei people or the former Tang people, the identities of these people are visible at a glance. The temperament is still quite obvious even if it has been overseas for a hundred years.
In the words of Nan'anhou, Chinese people overseas, East and Southeast Asia have the local economic lifeline. Chen Daojian didn't understand it very much at the time, but now he has vaguely understood it.
I heard that some big families, in Siam, the Three Buddhas, and even the Chinese families of Mantaga, are rich enough to rival countries and can vaguely affect the direction of the countries. Over the years, Mantaga has been officially listed as one of the vassal states in the Tianfang, and even the king of the country was changed to Sultan. Looking back on the prosperity of the Great Wei Dynasty, the three generations of Mantaga kings once entered the Great Wei Dynasty to worship, and they lived for a long time but did not return. Even two kings died in the capital. At that time, Emperor Xuanzong ordered a mountain tomb to be built for them outside the capital. The friendship between the two countries was deeply deep.
It is completely different now. The Chinese aristocratic family was suppressed in Mantaga. Even if they were converted to the Tianfang Sect, they were still unreliable targets of defense for all countries. It is simply impossible to build a country like Lan Fang by a large Chinese aristocratic family.
Xu Zixian also expressed his concern that there are many Chinese people in the thorny state, and they are the most guarded group of people under their current state, which may cause unpredictable disasters.
Chen Daojian paid great attention to some Chinese merchants who had been fully thorny. Like the Tianfang people, they also wore white robes and headscarves. Although they could tell at a glance that they were Chinese merchants, they tried their best to decorate themselves like Tianfang people.
The most amazing things are the Tianfang people and the Taixi people.
The Thais are still very few of them who come to Japan. Most of them are stopped when they go to Manchaka and Sanfoqi, and they can only go to Zhenla and Mughals. I heard that the Thais have very strong sailing ability, so they can even come from the other side of the Luzon Sea. Now some Spanish people are living in Luzon and staying in Luzon for many years, receiving local products sent from them overseas, and bringing Luzon goods back there.
The current trade between the East and the West should be in an era of being stuck and not smooth. According to normal development of time and space, the Spanish and Portuguese have seized most of South America. The Dutch built ports and initial settlements in New York, North America. Perhaps not yet, they should have begun to seize the territory of South America.
Silver, gold and various spice products from South America were transported back to Europe. At the same time, they discovered the route from South America to Luzon, and then from Luzon to China. Chinese cargo was transported to South America and then to Europe via this route. Later, the route from Malacca to Europe was opened directly. Then the silver from South America surged into China. Chinese cargo and gold entered Europe from Malacca, and there were also spices from Ceylon, and specialties from various countries surged out.
It can be said that at that time it was the beginning of global trade, which was slightly different from the current situation.
Now is also the beginning of global trade, but it is more difficult, more primary, rougher, and more opportunity.
...
Nan'an Hou Mansion has its own station office in the port. In the future, it is conceivable that Nan'an Hou Mansion will establish its own trading organization, called a commercial bank, or company, which has nothing to do with it. What is important is that the industries on the island can only be run by official businesses and cannot be handed over to non-governmental organizations.
There is no room for private trade development in the Dongfan period. The territory is too small, and all profit points are captured by the Hou Mansion. Unlike on Fujian Road, Zhejiang, and Guangzhou, the government cannot afford all the benefits, and there is no way to run all foreign trade.
It’s different here in Nan'an.
Not only are important resources controlled by the Hou Mansion, but private businessmen can only use cooperation methods to establish relationships with the Hou Mansion. More importantly, Xu Zixian revealed to his confidant officials.
Promoting the industry, establishing large-scale naval forces, and establishing overseas colonial circles are all things that this official company will do in the future.
Pure official organizations will be too "official" and are subject to domestic laws and many rules. Commercial banks and companies are not so official, and of course there are not so many rules.
What should we do if the troops of the Great Wei or Nan'an Hou's Mansion go overseas to plunder merchant ships from other countries and are morally accused?
To seize the colony, burn, kill and loot, can it be said that the officers and soldiers of Nan'an Hou do such a thing?
The company is different. It is semi-official. The major shareholder is Nan'anhou himself, but the specific person who does things does not have a real official identity. It is quite convenient, flexible, and easy to control.
With a call, the company's governor can be called back to reprimand, or replaced, and a person can be replaced by a few years. The officials, generals, army, managers, clerks, colonial officials, and peripheral forces are all allocated by the official, so they will not be afraid that they will think of independence, because most of the core power is in the hands of the mother country's regime.
This is the benefit of company development. The Netherlands and the United Kingdom have established companies that develop overseas, which are much stronger than their respective dukes and nobles.
The head of the office was a second-class official, which was also a small change in Xu Zixian's planning for the Hou Mansion.
The number of officials in the entire Nan'an Marquis Mansion is now more than 500, which is already quite large.
This is because Xu Zixian adopted a more refined and dynamic regulatory system than the Great Wei. Although the Great Wei is not the kind of rough management of imperial power without going to the countryside, in comparison, the official system is still complicated and complex and lacks efficiency, and can even be said to be quite chaotic.
This is a sequelae of the unsuccessful reform. Xu Zixian just needs to sort it out again.
Xu Zixian divided the officials into several major systems, one was military officials. The judicial personnel in the army were called military officials, and ordinary military officials were called military officials. They would build a solid foundation for the future military management system.
Military and political, military law, military plan, and logistics management systems. The establishment of these systems requires a large number of military officials. Compared with the military management system of the Great Wei, such divisions are more professional, more detailed and more efficient.
In addition, there are officials, clerks, clerks and staff members, and staff members of each department, divided according to standard levels. For example, third-class officials are responsible for a specific matter and are staff members.
A second-class official is responsible for the leadership of a certain matter, such as the supervisor of the office in front of him.
First-class officials are the deputy officers of officials. They are not only responsible for specific administrative affairs, but also for consultation with officials, determining the process of affairs, and even making suggestions.
Officials can get rewards if they work hard, but it is relatively difficult to get promoted. Only by performing very well in their jobs will you have such opportunities.
First-class officials, after overwork and several awards, they can be promoted to officials through the assessment of the Wenmo Law and Order.
Officials are not one, but the boundaries between officials and officials are broken again.
This is what Xu Zixian believes in the way of officials. Officials no longer obtain official positions after examinations, but officials. Officials must take the exam from the day they take office. Only after passing the examination can they become officials. Then they can pass the meritorious service, etc., and pass the voting to vote. It is definitely not possible to rely on nepotism or to be welcomed. It is hoped that they will be able to gain the power of becoming an official in one exam. This is not fair to many smart people who are not good at exams and cannot maintain their long-term study.
Xu Zixian is not trying to abandon the imperial examination now. He wants to regard the imperial examination officials as electoral officials. With higher education, higher standards and higher ethics, and broader vision, he can be selected among scholars, ordinary people, and officials, and the number of exams is limited. They can use a higher perspective to determine the direction of the development of affairs, but their true strength is left to the official.
The imperial examination officer can be a pragmatic or not, or pragmatic, depending on his actual power and status, and his own abilities.
They will be a benchmark and a moral example, which can show the direction of the country's major policies and guidelines, and no longer be greedy. The inheritance of Chinese civilization is indeed outstanding. People who have mastered the knowledge of philosophy can sit in a high position, but they should see far and understand more, and point out the correct direction for the people in terms of morality, technology, philosophy, foreign affairs, and military.
In addition to military officials and order officials, there are also legal officials, who specialize in law. The Criminal Division of the Great Wei Dynasty is quite professional, but it is also a disadvantage and is too administrative. Xu Zi first hoped to expand the Criminal Division, Jing'an Division, and the Criminal Division, which were responsible for criminal investigation, inspection, and judgment, etc., and divided the original Criminal Division and Dali Temple more rigorously and professionally, and eliminated the use of road Criminal Division, prefecture Criminal Division, and county Criminal Division. Instead, it was divided into central, local, various cluster areas, grassroots Criminal Division, middle-level Criminal Division, and high-level Criminal Division. Whether it is inquiry, trial and judgment, it is completed by professionals and is not subject to the constraints and commands of local officials.
Military officials, order officials, and law officials are divided into first, second and third grades. The salary levels are divided according to the level. Everyone has certain power and channels for progress. This is the best official law in Xu Zixian's mind.
The most important thing is to establish the judicial department, the army, daily officials, assessment, audit, financial audit, integrity, and classification, and determine complete rules and regulations, rather than being as unclear as before.
For example, the official positions of the Wei Dynasty were vague and vague. There were no distinction between officials in many nominal terms and responsibilities of officials. Some of the serious official positions were super-compiled, while others were seriously insufficient.
Every county government office will have employed mentors, and the yamen is full of idleness. Most of the villains are rogues. The court adds ten cents to tax, and it will be 50 cents or even one hundred cents for them to dance up and down.
The unclear administration has always been a landmark product of the dynasty's end times. Xu Zixian hopes to eliminate this forever.
Officials who are completely uncorrupt and do not use power do not exist. They give certain constraints to ensure that the government always operates on a more benign basis. This is the most ideal state.
Due to the high salary and the hope of progress, and the senior management of Nan'an Hou Mansion has made it clear that there will be a very generous year-end reward this winter, and overseas expatriates will have doubled their bonus depending on their performance, which makes many truly smart people willing to be dispatched overseas and enjoy it.
One of them was one of them. The second-class official Zhang Bofu was full of smart and capable face and a medium-sized body. He was wearing a short blue robe with a hem tucked around his waist. He walked forward when he walked. When he walked to Chen Daojian, he bowed his hand from afar.
"I've met Lord Chen."
The current left assistant of the secretary's cabinet of the Hou Mansion, Li Yi, is regarded as the highest official position, then the right assistant, and then the judges of the various ministers. If calculated by grade, Li Yi is approximately the fifth rank and the right assistant, and the sixth rank of the right assistant. The judges of each minister are counted as the sixth or seventh rank. No matter what rank they are, their status must be far above the officials. Zhang Bofu's etiquette is quite respectful and he also takes the initiative to salute.
It can be seen that Nan'an Hou Mansion has had a preliminary influence among the Japanese. When Zhang Bofu gave his salute, many Japanese and merchants cast curious eyes on this side.
Chen Daojian is only seventeen years old and is still under eighteen. He is young and handsome, dressed properly, and has a tall and well-proportioned figure, showing the perfect style of a Chinese man.
As for the gracefulness of studying and the abundance he developed for a long time, Chen Daojian made him outstanding in appearance and demeanor and temperament.
Along the way, not only merchants, but also Japanese warriors and travelers were watching here, but the women looked here with intoxicated eyes, talking to each other, and laughing in awe.
It is not surprising that a handsome young man like Chen Daojian is the outfit of a Wei official, which causes such a commotion.
