My Daming New Empire

Taking tea as an example, it is impossible for the internal supervisor to grow and pick tea by himself, and they still have to rely on merchants.It's just that these tea leaves must be sold overseas through the hands of the internal supervisor.

This is true of commodities except tea, cloth, silk, and porcelain.

Moreover, the internal supervisor has limited manpower, and it is impossible to control all the goods.Just like those large bowls of rough porcelain, the internal supervisor doesn't care about the profit at all, he only cares about collecting taxes, and he doesn't want to get involved in these businesses.

Most of the primary commodities are controlled by the private forces themselves.

However, Zhu Zhanji has been abroad in the past few years, and this year he is focused on controlling the court, so he is a little negligent in this regard.

The power of capital is infinite, and such institutions with a social nature are half black and half white.

Because of the political structure, Zhu Zhanji is not worried that there will be a consortium like the United States in the Ming Dynasty, but it is very likely that forces like the Tiandihui and the White Lotus Sect will appear.

Sun Lin soon came to Zhu Zhanji with a stack of materials in his hand. "Your Highness, Dongfanhui is a mutual aid organization established with the support of Chen Wu in 15. It originally only had some influence in Quanzhou and Fuzhou, but it has gradually developed to the north in recent years. Among the clubs, Dongfanhui is just a Third-class clubs are not worthy of attention."

"So, you have paid attention to these clubs?"

Sun Lin nodded and said: "Since 17, the Advisory Department has conducted statistics on Daming's chambers of commerce and clubs, and has placed many downlines. According to the number of people and the strength of their influence, they are divided into three levels. Each tier has a different focus and level of intervention."

Only then did Zhu Zhanji feel relieved, and ordered: "Have someone compile this information into a book and submit it."

Without Zhu Zhanji's order, it is already very good that Sun Lin can do this step.

However, in Zhu Zhanji's heart, these things are not enough.Because these secret interventions are definitely not as good as direct management.

Governance, like military affairs, although there will inevitably be some intrigue.But most of the time, an upright institutional constraint is still needed.

Just like monks have a monk record department, and Taoist priests have a Taoist record department, these are specialized management institutions.

The Chamber of Commerce should also set up a special management organization to manage and restrain, including support.

But this matter is not urgent, and it will not be too late to handle it after the year. Zhu Zhanji also needs to find a qualified official to take the lead.

This person can't be rigid and focus on suppressing businessmen, nor can he be too stupid and be played around by businessmen.

At this time, Wang Yan came over with a few young eunuchs. "Your Highness, everyone is here, and the hour is almost here, let's start the banquet..."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and ordered: "Chuan Shan..."

For the New Year's Eve reunion dinner, the most lively place is not the adults' place, but Zhu Zhanji's group of children.When they came to the New Year, they began to let themselves go.

It was rare for the palace to be so lively today, even Concubine Zhang brought a group of concubines from the harem to the banquet.They are all women without their own flesh and blood, and they can't pull out their eyes when they see a group of children.

The women in the palace are mothers who value their children more than their children, and all women are extremely accommodating to their children. Today is the Chinese New Year, and these dozen or so children are making a big fuss in the palace.

Zhu Zhanji didn't have time to enjoy family happiness. After dinner, he led the adult clan to the Taimiao and began to worship the ancestors.

On this night, the people of Yingtianfu celebrated the Spring Festival, and the sound of firecrackers continued.

Zhu Zhanji didn't sleep almost all night. After offering sacrifices to his ancestors, he prepared to offer sacrifices to heaven, earth and the country the next day.

On New Year's Eve, the first day of the first month, one is the beginning of the year and the other is the end of the year. Two sacrifices are essential and the most important.

None of the other festivals, or the Great Victory Sacrifice, is more important than the two-day ceremony.

Moreover, at dawn, there will be the first court meeting of the year.

This time the Great Court will discuss political affairs, mainly to meet with envoys from various countries, meet with officials at all levels, and issue policy orders such as Yongle's 19-year policy program.

But in a big meeting, you have to meet hundreds of people, and everyone has to say different things, some should be praised, and some people need to be criticized.

Although all affairs were arranged in an orderly manner by Honglu Temple, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Secretary of General Administration, and the Internal Supervisor.All of this needs to be experienced by Zhu Zhanji alone, which is not an easy task.

At Chenshi, the first court meeting in Yongle's 19th year was held as scheduled. First, all civil and military officials, and envoys from various countries bowed down to Zhu Zhanji and congratulated the New Year.

Later, Zhu Zhanji asked Wang Yan to read the excerpts from the book "The Country and the Nation", and announced the political thinking of focusing on stability in the past 19 years and leaning on the resources of the Western Expedition.

Zhu Zhanji's first meeting was Dongying's Princess Qiuzi and Akihito.Because Akihito is Zhu Zhanji's seed, the Japanese royal family has lived a very comfortable life in the past few years.

However, Chengguang is now terminally ill and can hardly recognize anyone, but he has his last breath left.

Now the economic power of the Japanese royal family has been controlled by Prince Komatsu and Fushimi, and they will control the affairs of the government until Akihito becomes an adult.

Although Daming treats the royal family of Dongying preferentially, they are like rootless duckweeds in Daming, so they are naturally unwilling.

In order to allow Daming to fulfill his promise and release him back to Japan ten years later, even if they hear some rumors, they dare not speak out.

Of course Zhu Zhanji doesn't care about them. Even if these princes are sent back to Japan in the future, they won't make it easier for them.

Zhu Zhanji will definitely control them firmly, and when Mingren grows up in Daming, he will be able to directly take power after he returns.

Although today is not a suitable occasion, other people dare not eavesdrop on the conversation between Zhu Zhanji and Qiuzi. Zhu Zhanji directly stated his meaning to Qiuzi, and finally said: "After the fifteenth, the children in the palace will be I'm going to go to Xiamaqiao Farm to receive education, so let Ming Ren come and learn too. Although he can't be Gu's son directly, Gu Gu won't treat him badly in the future."

Qiuzi looked at Zhu Zhanji affectionately, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, what about the concubine? Is it possible to return to Dongying as a concubine?"

"Wait for Mingren, of course you want to accompany him back. Going to Dongying to be the empress dowager is more comfortable than staying in Yingtian Mansion. From now on, Mingren will come to Xiamaqiao to study, and I will arrange a small courtyard for you mother and son in Xiamaqiao, so you can often Go see you guys."

Qiuzi understood Zhu Zhanji's meaning, and his brows stretched.She is only 21 years old this year, and it is the most beautiful flowering season.But her husband was terminally ill, and it was inconvenient for Zhu Zhanji to meet her, so he stayed alone in the vacant room.

Thinking about this kind of life, it was indeed cruel to her.

(I'm sorry, these days my friends are going back to my hometown, and I have been socializing every day. The day before yesterday, yesterday, and today, I couldn't pass up the socializing. As a result... I will try my best to keep updating, and I can write a paragraph for book friends every day.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

At the end of the first court meeting at the beginning of the first lunar month, Zhu Zhanji met the Kong family and his party.

Because of the compilation of "The Country and the Nation", Zhu Zhanji was much kinder to the Kong family this time. He not only met them in a harmonious manner, but also restored Kong Yanjin's title of Lord Yansheng.

The Confucian family was able to follow Zhu Zhanji's meaning, from the Confucian classics and the Zhouyi to extend the theory of the country and the nation with the meaning of ancient Chinese classics, the main reason is to restore the title of title.

Zhu Zhanji still uses Shang Kong's family now, so naturally he doesn't mind giving them a little sweetness.

After all, they are saints, and the words spoken from their mouths are authoritative.In this respect, even Xie Jin, the number one talented scholar of the Ming Dynasty, could not compare to him.

The book "Country and Nation" compiled by them, once published this time, will become the theoretical and ideological guidance of the entire Ming Dynasty. This credit is greater than winning a big battle or conquering a country.

In the future, no matter who it is, if it is a dispute within the nation, it will be fine. If there is another invasion by a foreign race, I am afraid no one will dare to join the enemy.

People in this era are more pure and pure than later generations.

When there is no national righteousness, anyone may take refuge in a foreign race for the sake of the family, but with the guidance of theoretical thinking, people will be restricted by this kind of moral etiquette.

As long as there are no traitors, the Chinese nation will never be conquered by a foreign race.

And this time being kind to the Confucius family also made Zhu Zhanji's reputation in the scholarly community much better.

In May of this year, Zhu Zhanji directly disintegrated the Kong family. Although there was no rebound, it did not have a good impact on his reputation.
