Chapter 649 The next arrangements of the princes and the Zhili mansion
"You can't transfer back because of the resentment of the local gentry. What should you do if you transfer back to Beijing? You have to practice all kinds of local official positions."
Zhu Youxiao said.
Liu Hongxun didn't want the emperor's eldest son to offend too many gentry in Jiangnan, so he took the initiative to propose this sentence.
But it is obvious that Zhu Youxiao himself didn't care that the emperor's eldest son offended too many gentry in Jiangnan.
For the emperor, what he really worried about was that the eldest son was too popular among the gentry.
"But the matter of relocation of the great clan is coming to an end. If the eldest son of the emperor stays in Jiangnan, he will have to change from eliminating the hidden dangers of annexation to developing the local economy, preventing the rise of local extravagance, and promoting the popularity of vernacular Chinese in this area. After all, this is the most prosperous place in the Ming Dynasty culture, and it has basically reached the point where everyone can read it!"
Wen Tiren said.
"The eldest son of the emperor should not stay in Jiangnan as governor. The eldest son of the emperor acts decisively and is eager to achieve results. He is afraid he doesn't know much about the development of the economy. It is better to let him go to another place to serve as governor and practice the means of developing the economy, controlling trade and culture, etc.."
Lu Xiangsheng suggested.
Zhu Youxiao asked, "What are the positions of governors waiting for appointment now?"
"Yunnan, Liaodong, and Nagasaki."
Liu Hongxun replied.
"Then I will be promoted to the eldest son of the emperor as the governor of Nagasaki! Nagasaki is now an important commercial center in the Ming Dynasty. And because a large number of seafarers migrated here in recent years, the culture is also very prosperous. It involves various foreign vassal affairs, which is just right for him to continue his experience!"
Zhu Youxiao said.
"In this case, the governor and the governor of Jiangnan must be re-appointed."
Wen Tiren replied.
"What if you let His Highness the second son of the emperor be the governor of Jiangnan or the inspector?"
At this time, Zhu Youxiao asked tentatively.
"It's not appropriate. The second son of the emperor has no deep experience in politics, nor does he understand economics, and is better at studying."
Liu Hongxun replied.
"The second son of the emperor is more suitable to be transferred back to the capital, so study first."
Wen Tiren replied.
"Yes, any official who is preparing to be appointed as a local governor is best to be appointed after being appointed in the capital for a period of time. This will make it clearer about the long-term strategy of the court's central government and the process of handling affairs of the central government, so that it will facilitate the exchanges between the central government departments, temples, courtyards, supervisors and other government offices after the local government is appointed as a local governor!"
Sun Chuanting also replied.
"According to me, the eldest son of the emperor visited many great scholars on his way to send Duke Li back to Sichuan and moved to Sichuan. He discussed knowledge and debated the great ways. Some people praised him and was very kind to help scholars. Many people called him virtuous. Although he was virtuous, he could not help but listen to and believe in a kind of scholar who was gentle, kind, respectful, and frugal, but did not know the current affairs. He should be transferred to Beijing and let him manage his studies. If he stayed in the local area, he might be encouraged by some scholars and interfered in the government's affairs."
Lu Xiangsheng also said.
"Then I will be transferred to Beijing and serve as a bachelor's degree in Hanlin Academy, and go to the further study class of the Ming Administrative Academy!"
Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction and replied.
Then, Zhu Youxiao ordered: "The Jiangnan area must be divided. The wealth and population account for too much, which is not conducive to management. Cut it into two parts, and then withdraw it from Zhili in the south, change it to Jiangsu in the east, and Anhui in the west, with the Anhui provincial government stationed in Luzhou, and the Jiangsu provincial government stationed in Suzhou."
"What about Nandu?"
Liu Hongxun asked.
"It is the Zhili Prefecture, directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court! In addition, after the rise of maritime trade, Songjiang Prefecture has flourished more than Suzhou Prefecture. Shanghai counties under its jurisdiction have become a large county of millions. Now the prefecture has been upgraded to Zhili Prefecture, and Haojing has also been upgraded to Zhili Prefecture! The prosperity of various parts of the Ming Dynasty is changing, and its status has also changed!"
Zhu Youxiao ordered.
"Abide by the order!"
"Your Majesty, what will happen to the Governor Tang Aimingdang, Jiangnan?"
Wen Tiren asked at this time.
"After Cai Yichen was executed, there was still one missing person in the cabinet minister. Zhang Tongchang was transferred back to serve as the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. Now the central government of the court still needs a territorial official with experience in ruling overseas colonial areas to provide more accurate suggestions for the court's major policies. Tang Aiming, let him take over as the governor of India."
Zhu Youxiao said, "India is very large. At present, because the situation in this place is complicated and has not been completely Chineseized. In order to facilitate the centralized handling of various affairs, only one governor will be established, but in the future, India will also be divided into several provinces!"
"What Your Majesty said is that, in the opinion of the minister, the focus of the court is to accelerate the expansion of the outside world, and to realize the unification of civilization as soon as possible, and then establish the order of civilization. After all the world and the Han territory are our Han territory, it will be easier to establish the order of our Han family! If the feudal system in the Zhou Dynasty, my Ming emperor would be in the central country, control the princes remotely, and the princes each took their own territory!"
Sun Chuanting continued to sell his strategic ideas to Emperor Zhu Youxiao.
And the source of his thoughts still comes from the Zhou system.
This is not surprising. After all, he has received Confucian education since childhood and cannot be immune to it.
What's more, in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, did they think that the area they were in was the whole world?
And now, it’s just that the world has become bigger.
Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile: "But if civilization is unified, will there be something like Qin unifying the six countries in the future?"
"This minister hasn't thought about it yet. If it really needs to be unified, it may be easier for Qin to unify the six countries! But there may be a country that maintains world order and deals with matters between countries, or things that belong to everyone in the world."
Sun Chuanting replied.
Zhu Youxiao now wants to tell Sun Chuanting that there will be a United Nations in the future.
...
After the Imperial Court of the Political Affairs Hall ended, some new edicts and decrees were successively passed from the Political Affairs Hall.
The emperor's second son Zhu Cican didn't expect to be transferred to Beijing here.
But he was still a little disappointed about getting him to the Hanlin Academy.
He actually prefers to display his governing ability in the local area.
He wanted to explore, instead of using the strict political model of his emperor brother, he tried it with the benevolent political model.
"Why didn't my father give me a chance to continue working in the local area?"
Zhu Cican asked in confusion.
"I'm afraid it was the eldest son who entered His Highness's slander. Everyone knows that His Majesty did not treat the scholars and officials very well."
Chen Weisong replied.
After hearing this, Zhu Cican frowned: "Well! Then go to Beijing. It's good to go to Beijing. It's better to be clearer about what the court will do next."
"Second brother!"
After Zhu Ciluo learned that Zhu Ciluo had been transferred to Beijing, he was extremely happy. On the day Zhu Cican arrived at Yongding Gate, he came to the train station to greet him in person, and waved his hands excitedly.
"Seventh brother! How are the health of the father and mother recently?"
Zhu Cican was quite disappointed when he saw that Zhu Cixuan was the only one who came to pick him up at the train station in Nandu, especially when he thought that he was on the train station in Nandu and there were many scholars lined up to see him off, so he forced a smile and asked Zhu Cixuan.
Zhu Cixuan replied: "Everything is fine!"
Then, Zhu Cihui said again: "Fortunately, second brother, you are back, otherwise I will be suffocated. In such a huge capital, no one is willing to pay attention to me!"
