Chapter 1049 Lushan New Deal

After recapturing Guanlong, Zhao Ming had achieved the unification of the Ming Dynasty, but there were still many legacy problems within the Ming Dynasty, such as many vassal states in the Longwu clan.

As summer begins, the weather in Jiangnan is hot. Zhao Ming stays in Nanjing until April and leaves Nanjing for Lushan to escape the summer heat.

After Zhao Ming arrived at the Lushan Palace in May, he immediately had a sudden idea and decided to open a temporary general training camp in Lushan, and ordered officers with more than a hundred households and less than a thousand households to come to Lushan for training.

After this order, Jin Shenghuan, Gao Yigong and others will know that it is time to accept the reorganization of the imperial court.

Now that the Regent has unified the world, the court has strong power, the towns have no ability to resist in the face of the reforms that the court will carry out on the vassal states.

By the end of June, military officers from Huguang and southern Ganzhou were sent to various towns, with more than 1,000 people. They were compiled into ten classes by Zhao Ming. Military and political instructors were recruited from Nanjing Army Imperial University to conduct training.

Of course, this kind of training is mainly based on political learning so that these middle-level officers can be loyal to the court.

At the foot of Mount Lu, the students from the officer training camp were having sex at the foot of the mountain, and the sound of training came.

On Mount Lu, Regent Zhao Ming was lying in the pavilion, blowing the mountain breeze, listening to his subordinates' reports.

"Regist, news came from Japan. The Shogun General and Tokugawa Army fought against Toba. Yoon Dajun, the Tokugawa side of Tokugawa side turned against him. The Tokugawa family was defeated by the coalition forces!" Gu Yanwu said: "Now the Shogun General Tokugawa Izunobu has fled back to Edo, and Japan's situation has changed drastically."

Zhao Ming sat up from the rattan chair, reached out to take the information, and expanded to watch.

After Toba defeated the Tokugawa army, the anti-straight coalition took advantage of the situation to occupy Kyoto, Japan. Although the Tokugawa army was defeated, the Tokugawa family had a deep family background. After retreating to Edo, it still had a very powerful force.

Now the Tokugawa Shogunate controls the central part of Honshu Island and the rich Kanto Plain, while the Overlord Alliance controls Kyushu, Shikoku, southern Honshu, and northern Honshu.

"Regent, should I send another batch of supplies to help the fall of the straits and overthrow the Tokugawa family in one fell swoop!" Gu Yanwu asked.

Zhao Ming pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "No hurry, the split Japan is more conducive to the control of the Ming Dynasty!"

At this time, an eunuch came to report, "Report to the Regent, several cabinet masters have arrived!"

Zhao Ming heard the words and smiled: "Please come here!"

Soon, Du Yinxi and others came to the pavilion. Zhao Ming asked everyone to sit down, "What do you think of the place I am looking for?"

"The place chosen by the Regent is really cool and useful for office work!" several people echoed.

Zhao Ming nodded and asked the eunuch to send some fruits and smiled: "It seems that the cabinet has formulated a new policy."

After unifying the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Ming kept trying to implement the new policy to transform the Ming Dynasty from a traditional farming empire to a modern industrial empire.

Since last year, Zhao Ming has begun to demand that the cabinet reform the political, economic, military and other aspects of the Ming Dynasty.

However, there will be resistance and difficulties in any reform. Therefore, from last year to June this year, the cabinet has never come up with a plan that satisfies Zhao Ming.

Du Yinxi said: "The cabinet has been preparing for a long time, and the final draft has been finally made recently."

Zhao Ming brought the cabinet out of Nanjing and came to Lushan to escape the summer heat. In fact, he wanted to reduce the influence of the Nanjing officialdom and the merchant forces on the reform policies.

When Zhao Ming heard that he had a final draft, he felt less disturbed. As expected, he moved faster, so he said in a deep voice: "Then let me tell you!"

Du Yinxi nodded, "The national affairs are about sacrifice and military affairs. Let Mr. Chen talk about it first!"

Chen Zilong bowed, "I am mainly responsible for the Ministry of War, so let me talk first!"

Zhao Ming nodded and called everyone to eat melons. After all, it was just a regular negotiation, not a formal discussion, and it didn't need to be so serious.

Chen Zilong said: "According to the regent, the purpose of the reform of the military town is to achieve nationalization of the army. The main content of the cabinet reform is that the promotion and appointment rights of officers of each military town are all taken to the court. In addition, the generals of the Ministry of War will register and register all the soldiers and open accounts in major banks. The military pay will be directly distributed to the soldiers' accounts by the Ministry of War according to the roster."

Zhao Ming nodded, but in this way, the banks will have more business and need more talents. Education convenience must be followed.

"Control promotion and military pay, basically control the military towns!" Zhao Ming agreed.

Chen Zilong continued: "The army will adopt a new training method, disperse the old, weak and disabled soldiers, set up many military universities, stop the test of bows and arrows, change to test guns and cannons, etc. Finally, the position of military generals will be adjusted, and the position of the Grand Marshal of the World is always set up, and the position of the supreme leader of the army will be the regent! "

Zhao Ming was quite satisfied, especially the last one, only when he mastered the army could he be regent.

At this time, Dai Zhijun took over the conversation, "Register's words education is the foundation of prosperity. The imperial court will reform the original Imperial College, provincial and provincial schools, and county schools. The Imperial College was changed to the Imperial Army University, and the Imperial Government University, which was established by the advanced Imperial Army University and the Imperial Government University, which was the highest institution of the Ming Dynasty, and the provincial schools, academies, and junior colleges were changed to higher academies and elementary academies, and each county established primary schools. The imperial examination system was reformed, and the examination was divided into three levels each year, and the examination was conducted at the end of each year. The first level had primary school students who went to the capital city to participate in the elementary school examination. The candidates were students and the junior colleges were students.

The school was held for three years, and then participated in the examination of higher education schools in the provincial capital. The candidates were juren, and they studied for three years in the higher education schools. Then they went to the capital to participate in the examination of university schools. The school was a Jinshi and studied for three years in the university hall. After three years, according to the subjects, they participated in the selection of various yamen in the court. The ones were the officials. Because after the reform, there were a large number of scholars, the court would abolish the preferential policies for the tax and preferential policies for the students and the juren. In addition, each school would abolish the eight-legged essay and add translation, arithmetic, medicine, agriculture, business, road, mining, tea, and sericulture."

Zhao Ming pondered for a while and said that this reform was relatively large and might arouse the disgust of many scholars. However, the scholar's rebellion failed for three years. As long as the court is determined, there should be no problem in implementing it.

"In addition, a translation bookstore must be set up to reward inventions and works, and regularly select the bachelor's degree in advantage, participate in overseas navigation, and strengthen the exchange between the Ming Dynasty and the outside world."

Dai Zhijun heard Zhao Ming's words, "I am changing."

Chen Mingyu said: "Well, let me talk about economic reform! The court continues to implement strategies to encourage industry and commerce, but it is necessary to adhere to state-owned industry and commerce as the main focus and private commerce as the auxiliary. The court should strengthen control over key industries such as mining, salt, and transportation. For light industry, it encourages private development, advocates business, promotes production, and encourages private workshops. In addition, the court will improve the banking system, establish new railway tracks, Minerals, State Administration of Taxation, and State Administration of Industry and Commerce, and establish branches in various provinces to manage and urge business development."

Zhao Ming added: "So many new institutions have been established. In order to prevent the organization from being bloated and people are overstated, some of the original backward yamen must be abolished. In addition, since military pay can be distributed through banks, the money between departments and taxes from each province can be transferred to the central government, and the bank can also be used to reduce manpower and consumption."

Chen Mingyu said: "I will improve it later."

Zhao Ming was not satisfied yet and continued: "This official system reform will add the Education Bureau, the Army Department, the Navy Department, the Central Bank Headquarters, and the original yamen. They must be streamlined. For example, the Zongren Mansion and the Zhan Shi Mansion, these yamen in charge of internal affairs of the royal family will not be included in the official yamen of the court in the future, and they will not be granted official positions to the court, and the court will not interfere in the affairs of the royal family."
