Chapter 539: Transforming the Capital

War broke out again in Huguang and Yunnan, which had a very strong impact on the Ming Dynasty court.

Many officials used this to make a fuss and submitted memorials to advise Zhu Youxiao to stop the implementation of the so-called new policy.

This includes the reform of the southwest chieftains and the policy of dividing into the acres that was piloted in Datong.

There are also newly established military and police departments, among which.

In their statement, rebellions broke out frequently in the south because the emperor, as a seldom acted on the new policy and forced it out of his own way.

Zhu Youxiao ignored it. Such memorials were not at all in his hands, and all the generals of the Sili Supervisor rejected them.

But the court officials did not give up. They insisted on a daily commentary on advice, and the two sides became more and more interested.

This was also common in the Ming Dynasty. Most civil officials had the same interests. As long as the emperor or other ministers violated it, they would immediately unite and oppose it unanimously.

This is true for the great ritual incidents of the Jiajing Dynasty, the dispute over the foundation of the Wanli Dynasty, and the reform of Zhang Juzheng's one-whip law.

However, Emperor Wanli lost to the civil servants in the dispute over the foundation of the country, and therefore lost the right to speak in the court.

And Emperor Jiajing and Zhang Juzheng were victorious.

But because Zhang Juzheng was just a minister, Emperor Wanli was extremely resentful to him.

Therefore, after his death, civil servants who were offended by interests were able to counterattack so quickly and vigorously.

Zhu Youxiao, who had already seen the essence of the matter, did not spend any effort on it.

He had already skipped the game of fighting each other.

Although Emperor Jiajing won the grand ritual event, it was only limited to the surface, the civil officials and military officials below should do whatever they should do, but they just restrained themselves a lot.

This led to the humiliation incident in the southern Mongolian in Monan who came to Beijing under the leadership of Altan Khan.

In fact, when you have gained actual power and your own political and military capital, you will naturally have the right to speak in the court.

As long as Qin Liangyu and Wu Sheng's troops were in place, the rebellion was only waving his hand, so he was not worried at all.

Those civil servants were asked to speak and scold them.

Now, the most important thing for him is to thoroughly implement the planning and new construction of the capital.

As long as a new system is established and the full support of his emperor, the handicraft industry and business in the capital will soon start.

As long as the capital's economy improves, he will have a strong enough logistics base and no longer have to rely on the south in everything.

Moreover, the planting of new crops in Shaanxi is also very successful. The northwest, which is short of food due to natural disasters, will not be hungry for thousands of miles and no grass grows like in history.

The pressure on the court's fiscal expenditure will be relieved a lot, so that a large amount of money and grain can be saved for military expenses. When the time is ripe, the troops can go out to Liaodong and wipe out Jiannu.

As long as the Jiannu was destroyed, the Ming Dynasty would be no longer threatened. Even if Chongzhen came up and made a mess, the Ming Dynasty would not destroy its country.

The gentry, landlords, literati and officials in China are just clowns. Even if Zhu Youxiao does not move his army, he can still kill them.

"My minister Guo Yingqi respectfully invites His Majesty the Emperor to be safe."

"The police department has been officially established. In accordance with His Majesty's order, I have transferred the wounded and disabled soldiers in the Yulin Army to the police department, with a total of 2,457 people."

"I have selected a group of useful military households from the first Zhizhi military guards, and recruited young and strong people from the people, totaling 6,700."

Although the police department has not yet officially implemented the construction plan of the new city, it is still being arranged.

The police department is responsible for the supervision and dispatch of new city construction, which is the top priority. If a bad thing is done, it may lead to a lot of trouble.

Moreover, after the five cities of the military personnel were changed to the city defense department, the public security of the capital was maintained entirely by the police department.

At this time, the capital must not be in chaos.

Therefore, he had to repeatedly remind Guo Yingqi to keep an eye on him, so as not to have other accidents.

After hearing Guo Yingqi's report, Zhu Youxiao also said that the staff was not enough.

After all, the police department directly took over the responsibilities of the Bingma and the Ministry of Justice, and it is crucial to hold the judicial power of life and death.

According to his vision, the police department must have at least 20,000 people.

But he did not force the recruitment of so many people in a short period of time.

Zhu Youxiao's philosophy has always been to be absent from his mother.

If it weren't for the lack of manpower, he wouldn't be using those military households.

Considering that most of the people in the police department are military households or retired wounded soldiers, their educational level is too low.

Zhu Youxiao also specially visited the capital to recruit dozens of juren to teach them how to read and write.

Especially Guo Yingqi, the top leader, he must keep the laws of the Ming Dynasty in mind and memorize them in the flow.

"I am ashamed. The minister of the Ming Dynasty has not yet studied it clearly, so I may be indebted to the holy grace."

"This is not urgent. After all, you have become a monk halfway through. I will transfer two civil servants from the Ministry of Justice to listen to your orders. You only need to make a decision and be fair."

"I announce that you are here today, there is another major event, and your police department is fully responsible."

When Guo Yingqi heard another errand, he couldn't help swallowing.

He was used to being idle in the first half of his life, so he did not have such ability to withstand pressure.

But the Guo family finally got the emperor's trust. Such an opportunity was rare in a century, so he also wanted to seize it and gain a future for his family and descendants.

So he still gritted his teeth and said:

"Your Majesty, even if you give me instructions, I will do my best to do my best."

Zhu Youxiao immediately revealed his plan for the three districts.

Guo Yingqi was stunned and almost didn't react.

He knows nothing about the economy and future development.

In the Qianqing Palace, which was not hot, Guo Yingqi only felt hot all over and was under great psychological pressure.

Seeing his nervous and rushing look, Zhu Youxiao also gave him a reassurance.

"Don't worry, you just need to follow my instructions and plans to implement them step by step, and you don't need to worry too much about other things."

"When you encounter something that cannot be decided, you can come to the palace to see me at any time. I will instruct you not to make any decisions, nor to be influenced by others."

"You must be clear about your position. You are a hero who lives with the country. You must think and act from the perspective of me and the court in everything."

Guo Yingqi is not a fool either. The emperor has made it clear that if he still can't hear it, he will not be able to live today.

Moreover, with the emperor's reassurance, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed.

As long as he does things according to the established regulations, he still doesn't feel so panic. No matter how bad he is, he can go to the palace to ask the emperor.

"I have already chosen the specific executive director. You just need to control the key points and control the overall situation. Don't let me down."

"Don't worry, your Majesty, I will do my best."

After a big bow, Guo Yingqi bent over and slowly retreated from the Ganqing Palace.

Not long after, under the leadership of Wang Chaofu, Gu Bingqian, the highly trusted minister of the Information Department, also came to the Ganqing Palace.
