My Daming New Empire

It only needs to accommodate a building of 2000 people. Carl Soli looked at Wu Zhong who was frowning, and replied: "Can your highness give me some time, many questions, I need to verify with Wu Shangshu before I can give it to your highness." A satisfactory result."

"There is no rush for this matter. After you go down, you should study it carefully. If you need anything, you can ask the Ministry of Industry, and you only need the results. Wu Shangshu, the Ministry of Industry must cooperate with Carsoli."

Wu Zhong bowed and said yes, but then said: "Your Highness, the largest theater in Yingtian Mansion can accommodate 800 people, and 1000 people are enough to sit in a squeeze. If it is only a 2000-person hall, there is no need to use Xiyi's method at all." , ministers can build it.”

Zhu Zhanji said: "What I want to build is not a theater, and I don't need the messy things like a theater. The purpose of building this hall alone is to serve as a place for future court meetings, so that you ministers can also sit and discuss matters. Therefore, This building must be magnificent, strong, and must be able to show the royal style..."

Wu Zhong was stunned, then his nose twitched a few times, and tears flowed out.

He knelt down on the hard glazed ground with an ordinary sound, bowed his head and cried loudly: "His Highness would... Your Highness is kind, loves the people like a son, old minister... old minister will definitely do his best and die."

Zhu Zhanji was confused by his sudden wailing, and seeing several civil servants knelt down, all praising Zhu Zhanji for his kindness, and all of them were extremely moved, he seemed to understand a little bit.

Since ancient times, in order to show the superiority of the royal family, the emperors have always been quite strict in the rules of the court.

Especially since the Tang and Song Dynasties, the influence of Confucianism has gradually grown. In the Tang Dynasty, ministers still sat on their knees when they went to court. In the Song Dynasty, when there were chairs, they all stood up.

Later generations of the Manchu Qing smeared Ming Dynasty, saying that Ming Dynasty went to court kneeling, which was pure slander.

You can ask a 70-year-old minister to kneel for a few hours, can you still have legs?

Before the Tang Dynasty, there were no chairs, and ministers always sat on their knees when they went to court. Kneeling and kneeling are completely different things.

However, Zhu Zhanji proposed to build a special meeting hall for the ministers, so that everyone can sit and discuss matters.This concept is completely different, and it puts ministers on an equal footing.

That's why Wu Zhong, a somewhat rigid old minister, was so moved and felt that Zhu Zhanji was so kind.

At this time, Zhu Zhanji certainly would not let go of the opportunity to win people's hearts, and stepped forward to help several veteran officials one by one.

"Although the Fengtian Hall is magnificent, its space is limited. During the grand court meeting, those ministers below the fourth rank can only be exposed to the wind and sun outside the hall, and it is even more difficult when it is windy and rainy.

Gu wants to build a large hall so that all Beijing officials can sit there comfortably to discuss matters, which is also to improve work efficiency.Gu is also planning to build a water tower above the meeting hall and a hut below, so that the hut will not be allowed to be used for discussion. "

Wu Zhong was a little sobbing, and kept his head down to prevent Zhu Zhanji from seeing his tears. "Your Highness, this is a benevolent government, a sacred act, and the veteran is grateful."

Zhu Zhanji laughed secretly in his heart.In fact, although he was considerate of the hard work of the ministers standing and discussing affairs, the main reason was to implement his rules of procedure.

In today's court, there are still many unsatisfactory aspects in the implementation of the rules of procedure.For example, many people habitually stand up to refute the opinions of ministers.

Jian Yi, as the speaker, often forgot his responsibility to preside, and debated with others in person.

To build such a conference hall, in addition to the emperor, only the speaker and the person in charge of a certain matter can speak on stage, so that the order of the speech will not be disturbed.

As for who is making trouble in the audience, there will naturally be Jin Yiwei to deal with him.

Rules should be followed in everything, but rules are not built in a day.Only when restricted by such hardware conditions can everyone know what kind of program to follow.

Chapter 66 Arrangements

tai ping fang.Anguo Gongfu.

Although the sun has already risen, the master of this marquis' mansion is still unable to get up.

Ever since Liu Sheng led the Shenji Battalion to victory in the Eastern Expedition to Dongying, and was granted the title of Duke An, he has become much more lazy.

Because he knew very well that his path of ascent had come to an end.

Before His Majesty decided to march west, many people thought that he would be the best candidate for the Northern Route Army, but he himself never thought so.

If the battle goes wrong, he has great responsibilities, and if the battle goes well, he has nothing to reward.

He is not like Zhang Fu, Zhang Fu is still young, and he still wants to build a world for the family.

He is now in his sixties, and he just wants to live a comfortable life in the capital for a few years.

Since His Royal Highness Taisun expanded the trade with Nanyang and Dongying, countless funs have been added to the capital now.

After Zhou Wangshizi Zhu Youdun took over Jiaofang Division, new dramas were released every month, and they were all his favorite military dramas.

More and more Xiyi restaurants opened in the capital, and he never got tired of eating all kinds of delicacies.

Especially the many young beauties sold from the West and the East, they are his favorite.

Although most of the Xiyi women have some taste, they are plump, while the Dongying and Korean women are meek and cute, small and exquisite, each with its own beauty.

Life is so good, what else does he expect?

Even if there is a struggle, it is time for the younger generation to fight hard.Now he has handed over all the power in the mansion to his son Liu Pu, and his main energy is to enjoy life besides training recruits.

On the contrary, his son Liu Pu wanted to inherit the title of Duke An, and was fussing all day long about going to sea to make contributions.

Based on this point alone, Liu Sheng felt that the current system of titles descending from generation to generation was much stronger than hereditary succession.

Except for one Zhang Fu, those duke families are almost all playboys.

Xu Da, the Duke of Wei at the beginning, was a hero in the world.But what about today's descendants?Except for Xu Jingyan, who was in the frontier army, who looked good, including the current Dingguo Gong Xu Jingchang, they were all worth mentioning.

When Liu Sheng inherited his father's title, he was just an earl. From the earl to the marquis, to the duke, it was all done with one knife and one gun.

This descending from generation to generation is a good way to motivate children and grandchildren to work hard.

As for whether the descendants can keep the title, he has never considered that if the descendants are not successful, not to mention the mountains of gold and silver, even a country can be defeated.

"My lord, my lord, someone is coming from the palace."

Liu Sheng opened his eyes, touched the Dongying maid who had woken up but didn't dare to move, and then asked outside the door: "Which servant in the palace is that?"

"It's Liu Shaojian next to Taisun."

"Is there a decree?"

"Just bring His Highness's oral order."

"Understood. Let the young master treat you first, and I will come later."

Dong Ying's maid wanted to come to dress Liu Sheng, he pinched her little hand and said, "Master, I can still do it, you go and help me arrange for someone to bring water to wash up."

Dongying's maid went obediently, and Liu Sheng couldn't help but said with some puzzlement: "It's hard to take a rest today, what is your Highness looking for me?"

When Liu Sheng came to the main hall of the Duke's mansion, Liu Wan was talking with Liu Pu and his sons about the beautiful scenery of Nanzhou in the main hall.

"Most of my Daming sea area is full of tidal flats, and there are very few beaches. But the east coast of Nanzhou is full of sandy beaches stretching for hundreds of miles, as well as coconut groves. Your Highness likes to swim in the sea with his concubine wearing only obscene clothes, Tired and sleeping on the beach, not to mention how pleasant it is. But in Nanzhou, you must pay special attention to poisonous snakes, the poisonous snakes there are surprisingly poisonous, as long as you are bitten, even the gods cannot save you."

Grandson Liu Jing is 15 years old this year, and now he is studying at Habayashi School. He is at the age of curiosity. He couldn't help but ask: "Liu Shaojian, this year our Habayashi School has added a subject, which is dedicated to introducing the customs of Nanzhou and Xizhou. It is said that Because Xizhou is poor, every household does not even have a pot, they eat with their hands, they only know how to cook soup in crock pots, and eat meat on the grill, but is it true?"

"Of course it's true, the people there are really poor...Hi An Guogong..."

When Liu Wan saw Liu Sheng coming in, he quickly stood up and said hello, and of course his descendants saluted respectfully.
