"I will pay my respects to Your Highness. How did Your Highness rest well last night?"

"Uh..." Zhu Youdong was about to answer, but suddenly he realized: these veteran drivers were making fun of him, a newbie!

But it doesn’t matter. The soul of the time traveler in this body has also been tested for a long time. So Zhu Youdong was not shy at all, but said carelessly: "The balance of yin and yang makes you feel refreshed. Very good, very good."

"

"Hahaha~ It is indeed His Highness!"

After the monarch and his ministers joked with each other for a while, they took their seats one by one. Then Zhu Youdong cleared his throat: "Let's get started."

"Yes, Your Highness." Cao Sanxi stood up first: "The first batch of fundraising for the War Foundation has ended, and a total of 24.3 million yuan has been received from more than 530 merchants."

"Very good! Now, building ships and changing the uniforms of the entire army will no longer be a problem."

"Da Sima, where did you think you were going? Does this money belong to your Ministry of War?"

"Hey~! Da Situ, what do you want to do? Did you hear the name? War Foundation, the money here does not belong to my Ministry of War, could it be from your Ministry of Household Affairs?"

"Ha~! So, Da Sima, you have always been on the front line of the Ministry of War in your life. This is your limitation. Is fighting only a matter for soldiers? I dare you to mention that in the past few months, the Yanjing Daily said that war is owned by the whole country.

You haven’t read the explanation of military and civilian matters yet..."

"Xu Zhangzhi!"

"Okay, okay, don't argue." Zhu Youdong knocked on the table: "How to use this money, we will talk about it later. Now let's have a meeting according to the procedures. Sanxi, do you have anything else to do?"

"I have only one thing to do in today's regular meeting."

"Okay, Ministry of Industry."

"Yes, Your Highness, everyone, here at the Ministry of Industry, all twelve water conservancy projects in Shaanxi have been completed and put into use. Although Shaanxi suffered another drought this summer, the production reduction was not serious. According to the communication between the minister and Da Situ, we have

I know that Shaanxi’s summer tax this year should be completed in full.”

"Okay, Yuan Yingtai is really capable in building water conservancy projects!"

"Indeed, after Yuan Yingtai went to Shaanxi, the progress of various water conservancy projects in Shaanxi has been significantly accelerated, and the funding is about 10% less than the budget of the Ministry of Industry."

"Excellent. Such a capable minister. After the meeting, I will apply to Grandpa Huang for a nationwide commendation. Zhang Shize, your newspaper will send reporters to Shaanxi for on-the-spot interviews and extensive reporting."

"Yes, I accept your order."

"Your Highness, the Ministry of Industry would like to report that the Jingluo Highway and Jingji Highway have been completed. His Highness the King of Shu has reported that the Chengdu-Chongqing Highway has also been completed."

"Okay, then what will be the distance after these two highways are completed?"

"Yes, Your Highness. In the past, the official road from Luoyang to the capital was more than 1,800 kilometers long. An ordinary two-wheeled carriage would travel twelve hours a day, which would take more than two months. Now, the entire Beijing-Luoyang highway has been compressed to more than 1,200 kilometers.

, it only takes twenty days for a four-wheeled carriage to move at a normal speed. If there is an urgent military situation, it only takes four to five days."

"good."

"Your Highness, there are other matters to be reported to the Ministry of Industry. Because the level of confidentiality is too high, I have already written the memorial and submitted it to Your Highness separately."

Taking the memorial handed over by Xu Guangqi, Zhu Youdong flipped through it briefly and quickly came to the conclusion: Now we are waiting for the smokeless gunpowder!

"I know what happened. You guys did a good job. What I mean is that the No. 1 Experimental Body will not be put into practical use for the time being. It will be upgraded to a larger model and further improved."

"Yes, I accept your order."

"Then, next, the Criminal Department."

"Yes, Your Highness, the Ministry of Punishment has completed the revision of the "Da Ming Code" last year. According to His Highness's decree, I will first allow the new law to be tried out in Beizhili. Starting last month, the Ministry of Punishment sent a large number of personnel to visit the site and commissioned

Yanjing Daily conducted a questionnaire survey. Overall, the people's satisfaction with the new laws is over 70%. The satisfaction of officials at all levels is only over 40%. The reason for this is mainly because many officials said that the new laws

This has increased their workload. Moreover, many officials secretly reported to us: Many chief officials in Beizhili said that after the implementation of the new law, their freedom to judge cases has been severely restricted. This official should

It’s not as comfortable as before.”

Humph, where have we been? Being an official will only become more and more uncomfortable in the future.

However, Zhu Youdong did not say this. He nodded, and then said: "The new law will continue to be tried out in North Zhili. Starting from the second half of this year, the new law will also be tried out in South Zhili. The Nanjing Ministry of Punishment and Jinling Daily will review the new law

The trial implementation will be closely monitored. In addition, Liangzhili is the birthplace of the Ming Dynasty after all. Just trial implementation here will not be widely representative. The Ministry of Punishment found three more economically and culturally backward prefectures and also trialled the new law there.

"

"Yes, I accept your order."

"Okay." He patted the table gently, pressed his hands, and stopped Wang Xiangqian who was about to get up: "Da Sima, wait a moment, we will talk about the affairs of the Ministry of War in the end."

"yes."

Next, the Ministry of Rites is engaged in routine work. With the State Council held at a high frequency every ten days, the Ministry of Personnel does not need to finalize matters at this level of meetings every time.

"Your Highness." Xu Honggang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, stood up: "The Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing reported that in June of this year, all yellow records from various places were put into the database. Since the Ming Dynasty proclaimed De, we once again have detailed and reliable yellow records. The foundation of the country has been repaired so far.

It’s almost a success. I would like to congratulate Your Highness!”

"I would like to congratulate Your Highness."

"Hahaha, congratulations together, I would like to congratulate the emperor and congratulate the Ming Dynasty!"

"Yes, I would also like to congratulate the emperor and congratulate the Ming Dynasty." After saying this, Xu Honggang continued: "Next, starting from the second half of the year, I will prepare to redraw the fish scale album. This matter requires the Ministry of War to issue a document to

Troops are stationed in various places, and they should continue to assist the staff of the Ministry of Revenue. Of course, we cannot let everyone work in vain. The Ministry of Revenue has made a budget of 500,000 yuan for this, um, Chief Sima?"

"Huh!" Although these two old men were the most quarrelsome at the State Council meeting, Wang Xiangqian also knew that there was still the last step to solidify the foundation of the country. Therefore, although there were various whispers such as why we were only given 500,000, no

He treated us Qiu Ba as nonsense. But he still got up honestly and expressed his firm support.

After all these things were done, Zhu Youdong announced that the meeting would be adjourned and asked Founder to arrange for the eunuchs to readjust the seats in the conference room.

Ten minutes later, when the participating ministers re-entered the venue, the entire venue had completely changed: the periphery of the venue had become convex due to the placement of many wooden shelves. However, the center of the venue, which was relatively sunken due to this, was
Chapter completed!
