After hearing Chongzhen ask her to preside over the establishment of the system of releasing the palace maids in the internal hospital and the release of palace maids, the little dissatisfaction in Queen Zhou finally disappeared.

She has always admired Empress Changsun during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, and strictly demanded herself in everything based on Empress Changsun's standards of conduct. Although the two policies implemented by the emperor did violate the ancestral system, no matter how you look at it, they are both virtuous and good governance.

If these two policies were really implemented under her presidency, she would probably have gained the reputation of a virtuous queen in history. In this way, the distance from her idol, Empress Changsun will be further apart.

However, Empress Zhou has always been respectful, and the emperor had to give in to the throne, so she refused a little and said, "This is not good. I have never dealt with such a big thing. If I mess up the big thing that Your Majesty has assigned, I will become a sinner."

Zhu Youjian waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is the first time I have become an emperor. There is a first time in everything, and the queen does not need to refuse. In this way, I will ask the eunuch Wang Tigan, the eunuch of the Silijian, to assist in the task, so that there will be no more mistakes."

Although Wang Tigan is the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor and the nominal leader of the 100,000 eunuchs in the world, he has always been willing to surrender to Wei Zhongxian as the eunuch in charge of the seal. He is obviously a person with no ambitions.

After Zhu Youjian ascended the throne, Wang Tigan tried his best to move closer to him and often reported his work. However, Zhu Youjian didn't know this person and didn't want to use him much, but Wang Tigan showed goodwill to him frequently, which made him feel cold and he was worried about where to arrange him.

It just happened to hand over two errands to Queen Zhou today, and Queen Zhou lacked effective staff, so Zhu Youjian followed suit and arranged Wang Tigan to do the job.

Empress Zhou hesitated a little and said, "Wang Tigan is the eunuch in charge of seals. Your Majesty ordered him to help me with the work. Will it seem too useless? What if he is reluctant?"

Zhu Youjian said: "I'm reluctant? Just call him here and ask."

After a moment, Wang Tigan was summoned. Zhu Youjian asked him: "Wang Tigan, are you willing to work with the queen?"

"A hundred people are willing, ten thousand people are willing. Thank you for your kindness." When Wang Tigan heard this, he immediately smiled and thanked Zhu Youjian for his great gift. Obviously, he was very willing to follow Empress Zhou.

Wang Tigan was originally worried about his future, and was deeply afraid that Zhu Youjian would implicate him when dealing with Wei Zhongxian in the future.

But now Zhu Youjian has arranged for him to go to the queen to do the job, and the future will be settled. How dare you be picky? It’s too late to be happy.

Then the Queen Zhou asked again: "Your Majesty, is there any regulations for the release of palace maids? What conditions are met to be qualified to release?"

Zhu Youjian thought for a while and said, "After fifteen years, the age of palace maids entering the palace is usually between 13 and 16 years old. After fifteen years, they will be only about 30 years old. With the maintenance methods of the palace, they will definitely be much younger than women of the same age among the people, so that they will not delay their marriage."

Queen Zhou couldn't help but praise: "Your Majesty is really kind and kind, and even their marriage matters are taken into account."

Zhu Youjian smiled and said, "They have dedicated all the most precious youth in their lives to the royal family. We can't let them lose their fate. By the way, the palace maids who have reached the age of release should not release them all in one size fits all, but should also focus on their personal wishes. If they are willing to stay in the palace to continue serving the royal family, then they will fulfill their wishes."

Queen Zhou was puzzled and said, "It is their great blessing to be willing to release them, so how could it be that she would not want to?"

As a later generation, Zhu Youjian had much more knowledge than Empress Zhou. He sneered: "The same rice raises hundreds of people. It is still unknown whether the family of the palace maids is willing to accept them when they go back. If they can't be allowed to go back, it will lead to a tragedy that cannot be said. Wouldn't the good policies I and the queen have implemented become evil policies that harm people?

Besides, I plan to expand the scale of the weaving bureau and build textile factories in large quantities. At that time, palace maids who are unwilling to leave the palace can voluntarily enter the textile factory to work, and their salary will be much greater than that of palace maids."

Since crossing time, Zhu Youjian has been thinking about a question: What should I use to save you when facing the Ming Dynasty, which is going to be overwhelmed by the building?

After some careful consideration, Zhu Youjian only thought of one method, which was to launch the industrial revolution and lead the Ming Dynasty to become the world's first industrial country.

As long as the Ming Dynasty took the lead in completing the industrial revolution, the Later Jin, Li Chuang, and Mongolia were just a dish placed in front of the Ming Dynasty, and even raising the power of the Ming Dynasty to the world and establishing an empire that never sets far away from the English Empire, it is not impossible.

As we all know, the beginning of the industrial revolution was related to a spinning machine, which was the famous Jenny spinning machine.

Zhu Youjian's idea was to concentrate the technological power of the Ming Dynasty, first tinker with the so-called Jenny spinning machine, and start the industrial revolution of the Ming Dynasty with this.

...

Compared to the calmness of the external dynasty, Zhu Youjian issued virtues in the inner court these days, which soon allowed him to win the loyalty of most eunuchs, palace maids, and the power of factory guards controlled by Wei Zhongxian were quietly taken away by Zhu Youjian.

However, after these days of conversations with the leaders of various yamen and visits to the grassroots, Zhu Youjian believed that the twenty-four yamen in the inner court seemed huge, but compared with the government agencies with strict organization in later generations, it still seemed quite loose.

The leaders of the twenty-four yamen were the eunuchs who only knew that they could gain a foothold by the emperor's eyes, so they were all busy flattering the emperor, but instead ignored their responsibilities and were extremely lazy in their jobs.

The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, and the leader and eunuchs are so unemployed. The specific eunuchs in charge of the following are naturally following the same thing. Everyone is busy currying favor with the celebrities in the palace and wanting to reach the sky in one step.

As for the corruption that has been repeatedly banned in later generations, it has become even more common in the inner court yamen. Those who collect money and those who give money are too lazy to cover up their skills. Everyone knows that if you want to get a good job, you must offer sacrifices to the eunuch in charge to accomplish things.

In this way, most of the honest, reliable and loyal eunuchs were pressed to the bottom, but those who were flattering could make their fortunes and make a lot of money.

After learning about these situations, Zhu Youjian knew that the inner court wanted to be instructed by his arm, and it would definitely not work without reforming.

Zhu Youjian already had an idea about how to reform. He has read many official novels in modern times and knows that among the government departments, there are two most important departments, one is the Organization Department and the other is the Discipline Inspection Commission.

These two major departments, one is responsible for lifting officials' positions and the other is responsible for removing the hats from officials. Any official who faces the officials in these two major departments will feel that he is three points short of his position.

Zhu Youjian felt that the existence of these two major departments was also needed in his inner court to intimidate the slut and sweep away the corruption, so that the inner court would become a stable, efficient and combat-oriented group.
