The Weaving Envoy of the Weaving Department is a third rank, and is an official position of one of the twelve ministers.

The new dynasty of the Great Family had its own elegant politics, which was different from previous dynasties. In addition to the three prefectures and nine tribes, the Tang court actually established twelve temples (sectors).

The Tang court retained the Honglu Temple, Dali Temple, and abolished the Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple and Taipu Temple. The powers of these three temples were merged into the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War respectively.

The transportation temple, medical and health temple (formerly medical bureau), sanitation temple, mining temple, marine temple, grand prosecutor temple (Supreme Prosecutor Hall), weaving department, imperial guard department, Tongzheng department, and Silu Temple were added.

In addition, there are 16 yamen, including Hanlin Academy, Datang Academy, Imperial Palace, Tianshi Mansion, Zhanshi Mansion, Medical Academy, Imperial Hospital, petition party (Special Inspection Bureau), Propaganda Party, Internal Government, Taile Administration, Gendarmerie Bureau, Special Office, Printing and Plastic Office, Datang Bank, Taishu Library, and these sixteen yamen, totaling forty, collectively known as "Forty yamen".

All of the forty yamen in the capital are third ranks or above!

Among them, the five internal governments are the First-rank yamen, the Military Affairs Hall, the Censorate, the Tianshi Mansion, and the internal governments.

However, the Tianshi Mansion only manages Taoism, Taoist temples, Taoist officials, sacrifices, and does not manage military and political affairs. The internal government only manages the royal internal affairs, including palace servants, inner treasury, imperial horses, palace gardens, travel, ceremonial guards, royal families and other matters.

But although the Great Heavenly Master is not the priest, he is the national teacher, and of course he is the first-rank. Although the Interior Minister of the Internal Government does not manage major military and national affairs, the Tian family has no trivial matters and a heavy responsibility, and is also the first-rank.

In the forty yamen, there are 100,000 officials from the first to tenth ranks. However, most of them are the last officials of the ninth rank and tenth rank. The fifth rank and above are qualified to participate in the regular court memorials and discussions, that is, more than 300 people. These more than 300 people are the so-called "morial court".

Li Luo issued an imperial edict to the Ministry of Personnel, and after completing Huang Daopa's appointment document, the freshly released official envoy took office. Almost all the officials in the weaving department were proficient in textiles.

"Okay. With Huang Daopo, the cotton cloth of the Tang Dynasty will soon be popularized. We can not only be able to wear clothes and quilts, but also collect a lot of taxes in the future." Li Luo was very happy.

The weaving department not only promotes innovative textile technology and manufactures official fabrics under the orders, but also manages the world's weaving workshops, cotton and mulberry silkworm trade, and supervises the textile industry taxation of the Ministry of Commerce.

It is a very important department.

It is not only the weaving department, but also the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen, but also the yamen of the yamen of the yamen of the yamen. The yamen of the yamen are in charge of state-owned and private commercial taxation, with great power and corruption is also prone to corruption. With such checks and balances, the yamen of the yamen are stared at by the eyes of many yamen.

Tang Ting's income was five yuan, one was the tax on agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery collected by the Ministry of Revenue; the second was the commercial tax collected by the Ministry of Commerce; the third was the national monopoly income such as salt, iron and grain; the fourth was the income of mining and marine fishery; and the fifth was the income of spoils.

However, although these departments have tax assessment indicators, they cannot control the money and spend money. All the money must be handed over to the Ministry of Finance for safekeeping and allocated.

"Come on? Wife? Let's take a look at the total grain sales." Li Luo sat down, "I think this matter is not detailed enough, and it is easy to cause corruption."

"I think so." Cui Xiuning took out a notebook and sat down beside Li Luo. The two of them began to mutter in their ears.

That’s right? Food is also a specialty product of Tang Ting!

Tang Dynasty law stipulated that private merchants were prohibited from operating grain. Look at how rich grain merchants from ancient times and how bad they played, you can tell that in ancient times, when grain merchants were extremely precious, what did the existence of grain merchants mean?

In ancient times, the yield per mu was low? When encountering natural disasters and man-made disasters, there was shortage of food. Food is so important, but it was allowed to be managed by merchants. Of course, this is not the stupidity of the previous emperors, but the lack of help.

Why?

Because grain traders themselves are big landlords and bureaucrats. They relied on the monopoly to connect the fields and fields to the fields and make so much grain? Of course, if they have to sell them, wouldn’t they become grain traders?

Can the emperor still forbid them from selling their own food? Since they can't? They can't control it. In the final analysis, the problem lies in the land annexation.

In this way, they suppressed grain prices in the good times and exploited farmers. They hoarded goods in the bad times and disrupted the world. They sucked blood like lees, and were all rich. However, the court and the common people suffered a great loss.

It's different now. Li Luo just doesn't let them manage food anymore. This will not only allow the court to eat this piece of meat, but also the people will suffer losses.

If you manage grain for more than ten stones without authorization, you will be in jail. More than one hundred stones... means rebellion!

There can only be one grain merchant, and that is the court!

"The general direction is good, and it can be done completely. The problem is..." Cui Xiuning said, "Do you think this is OK?" She handed over the notebook.

Li Luo looked at it for a while, then wrote and painted again, and smiled and said, "It's almost done now!"

The plan planned by the two has come out.

To whom do farmers’ grains be sold to rural offices in various places, and rural offices then transport the grains to the county’s management warehouses to become the country’s grain.

Based on the local situation, a reasonable price will not allow the people to suffer losses, nor will the court suffer losses.

Then, the government opened a warehouse to sell grain. If it could not be sold out, it would be used as military rations. If it could not be sold out, it would be used as a strategic reserve for relief or winemaking.

The difference between this was originally made by the grain merchants, but now it has fallen into the pocket of the court.

The farmer pays grain tax and only pays in kind.

So, how to prevent local officials from getting enough for their own pockets when buying and selling grain?

Easy to deal with.

Farmers do not take money to sell grain, but collect grain stamps on horseback. The ones collect grain are rural offices, and the ones receive and store grain are county offices. However, the ones sell grain are sold in local branches, and the ones collect money are county offices. The ones who send the money to farmers to collect grain stamps are rural offices.

Then, the difference profit is paid to the Finance Department and the Commercial Tax is paid to the Commerce Department.

The farmers get as much grain as they sell. The price is set again, and the amount of grain coupons there is as much grain coupons as they have.

Each link has to be reconciled, and every link has to be reconciled. If anyone wants to embezzle, he must deal with farmers, rural offices, county government offices, monopoly offices, commerce departments, and finance departments at the same time.

Too difficult, too easy to expose.

"I can only do this now. It is indeed not easy to embezzle food." Cui Xiuning was also quite satisfied.

When the woman talked about food, her eyebrows frowned again, "I thought about fertilizer for a long time, but I can't do anything about it. Don't say that we are not chemists, even if we do, we can't do it. Don't think about it."

The man was a little unbelievable, "Is it so difficult?" The Emperor of Tang Dynasty had not graduated from junior high school and had no idea that fertilizer was so difficult.

Cui Xiuning shook her head and said, "No doctorate in chemistry is possible, this road is not accessible. The yield of fertilizer in farmhouses is limited, so it is better to think about how to improve rice seeds. Even if you go to America to find potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, it is easier than to use fertilizers."

Li Luo touched his chin, "It's a bit dangerous for our ocean-going fleet to go to South America. But you can try it. When will the wind be the least in the Eastern Pacific?"

Cui Xiuning thought for a while, "The high incidence of hurricanes in the Eastern Pacific is from April to June, and it seems that it is the most frequent in May. If you set out, it is best to send a fleet now. It is just enough to avoid the high incidence of hurricanes in winter."

"However, although all three things were found in South America, South America is very big, and no one knows where to find them."

Li Luo frowned, "Do you still remember the specific origin of the three things?"

Cui Xiuning put down her pen and thought hard, "Mexico? Colombia? Peru? I'm not sure. I can only be sure that there are countries that are related to three things."

It is not easy to narrow the scope here, but Li Luo is still unwilling to accept it, "Can we narrow it a little more?"

Choi Xiu lay on the shore with her head buried in her head, revealing the soft fluff on her neck. After a while, she raised her head and said:

"What is certain is that it was discovered not far from the sea. Columbus did not stay deep in the mainland for a long time, and soon brought back a lot of crops. It seemed that it was brought back on the first voyage. So it must be not far from the coast."

"Second, Columbus set out from the Atlantic Ocean, but his purpose was to find routes to Asia, with the main activity point in the Caribbean Sea!"

Cui Xiuning's map was very good. She immediately drew out the general terrain of South America and used a pen to a little in the narrow area west of the Caribbean. "Look, where is this? It is the boundary between Mexico and Colombia, central America!"

She used a pen to draw a circle on the eastern land of the Caribbean, "In this area, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes, and peppers! You must know that Uncle Columbus brought back so many things quickly after sailing, which means that the things are not far from the coast, and the natives must know them!"

Li Luo looked at the position she circled and said excitedly: "You really have it! This range is very small!"

Cui Xiuning was a little proud, "Members of Interpol must be familiar with the world map, especially in places like South America and the Golden Triangle. Otherwise, once the criminals go out to sea, you are not familiar with the map. How do you judge the other party's escape route? How do you intercept?"

"But don't be too happy too early. Columbus didn't bypass the Cape of Good Hope. He arrived from Europe in a straight line across the Atlantic Ocean. The distance is actually not too far. The Atlantic Ocean is much narrower than the Pacific Ocean."

"If we set out from the South China Sea to the east and reach Central America, it is the closest. How far is it? It is about 35,000 miles or more, brother, more than 30,000 miles. Haha."

Li Luo sighed: "It's indeed too far. The risk of the fleet is too great. More than 30,000 miles, I'll go, how many months will it take?"

Cui Xiuning drew on paper with a pen, and immediately a simple picture of the Pacific Ocean appeared.

"Look at the fugitive, you can start from Hainan, to the Philippines, to the Mick Islands, to the Marshall Islands, to the south of Hawaii, and to the south of Mexico. There is basically an irregular straight line in the middle."

"We break down the route into five sections. Each section can be shortened to six or seven thousand miles by calm. Each section costs one month and five months to Central America. It takes two months to land and find the least things, one round and one round at least one year, one year, brother, this is still very smooth."

Li Luo understood, "Well, if you walk in this way, you can indeed reduce a lot of risks and you can still have supplies on the road. I think you can do it!"

"Let's send a small fleet to try first, explore the road and try your luck. Our ship is OK, and there are also compass. Send five warships and one thousand people."

Cui Xiuning said: "Those who want to stay in the Philippines for supplies, the Philippines is now in Hai Song's hands."

Li Luo said indifferently: "Then send an ocean-going fleet to escort the team to the Philippines. After the team rests and replenishes supplies in the Philippines, the large fleet will come back."

Cui Xiuning nodded, "That's all. But you're about to conquer Japan, and the Ocean Fleet can't be pulled away."

Li Luo said: "The Japanese country is the Monkey King in our palm, and I can't escape. Let the Ocean Fleet escort the small adventure fleet to the Philippines."

"Actually, there is another way, which is to go to North America from the north, and the sea route is not far away. After arriving in North America, sail along the west coast and head south to the west coast of South America."

Cui Xiuning said: "This method seems safe, and the sea route from North America to the north is also close. However, the distance is too far, more than twice as far away. Once the distance is far, the possibility of encountering hurricanes will increase a lot."

Li Luo just said that he also thought the route was unreliable. "Then let's go straight."

Cui Xiuning asked: "Who will be the leader of the small fleet? Our navy generals have super ocean experience, but none of them are. Zheng He, Luo Yu, Liu Tuo, and Han Shao are all active in the offshore area, and they sail at most half a month."

Li Luo thought about it and suddenly thought of a task, "What do you think of Shi Yan?"

Shi Yan is Shi Coralhu's father. He was once a robber on the sea and nicknamed the Sea Wolf King. He often sailed between Japan and the South China Sea. He has been on the sea for more than 20 years and has rich experience.

After joining Li Luo, Shi Yan became a rich man. He had not gone out to sea for several years. He did not become an official and was devoted to enjoying his blessings.

Cui Xiuning shook his head: "I saw Shi Yan once this year. This person lost all his strength and had no spirit of adventure. He only wanted to enjoy a peaceful life, and even an official did not want to be an official. Do you think he is suitable? His current personality is to save his life and cherish his body as the first. Once he is sent to voyage, he will definitely order his return when he encounters something wrong."

Li Luo knew that Cui Xiuning's personality analysis was very reliable and had never failed. She evaluated Shi Yan like this, so Shi Yan was really inappropriate.

"Then let Zheng He go. He is the only one who is the most suitable." Li Luo said. Since Shi Yan is not suitable, the most suitable one is Zheng He.

Cui Xiuning nodded, "Zheng He is loyal, has a firm and steady personality, and is very talented. Although he is young, he is not impulsive, meticulous, and courageous. He is the best candidate."

"Then it's decided. I'll appoint him as the governor of the Eastern Tour Fleet." Li Luo said, "We will draw out the things we are looking for first, and write down the characteristics carefully, which means that Laojun asked the dream to guide the things we are looking for."

Cui Xiuning smiled and said, "Okay, I'll do this. You must prepare for the long voyage completely, and there is no rush to do this or two."

It was such a big thing for voyages in America, and the couple settled down in less than an hour.

After getting this done, Li Luo mentioned the government affairs again, "We set up forty yamen, but most of them just put on airs. Now that the company has opened, the foundation of the company's culture needs to be laid well. We need to improve some systems as soon as possible."

Choi Xiuning also became interested, "Tell me, how do you do it?"

Li Luo said: "First the Li family to start the operation. We cannot make the mistakes of the Ming Dynasty, and in the end the royal family dragged down the entire country."

"That's how I think. Except for the prince, our sons are all founding princes and are hereditary. After all, our son is young."

"However, except for the son of the founding prince, the other sons must be surrendered to the third grade and can only be granted the title of Duke of the County."

"The son of the county duke inherited the title and was demoted to the first-class marquis of the county. The other sons were demoted to the third-class marquis and could only be the first-class marquis."

"It has been reduced to the seventh-rank Yunqiwei. The next generation of Yunqiwei is the idle royal family and is no longer paying salary."

Choi Xiuning counted with her fingers, "That means that if we count to the sixth generation, most of us have no titles?"

Li Luo nodded and said, "Yes, the beauty of a gentleman can be killed for five generations."

"This is still the descendant of the founding prince. What about the descendant of the princes who were appointed by later generations?" Cui Xiuning asked.

Li Luo said: "First, except Zheng'er, our sons are all founding princes and are hereditary. But from Zheng'er, his sons cannot be all named princes. Because he has many concubines, his sons must be indispensable."

"The son of Zheng'er, except for the prince, is divided into three categories: Duke, Prince, and Prince. He must be over 18 years old to build an independent government, grant land and receive salary."

"Also, all the inheritance titles are reduced and they cannot be replaced by hereditary titles. The prince has been reduced to the first-class inheritance titles, and all the other sons have been reduced to the third-class inheritance titles. Also, at most, only ten sons have titles, and the others are all idle royal families. If anyone gave birth to dozens of them in one go, I'm sorry, the court will not be responsible for the extra support for himself."

Cui Xiuning frowned, "How can you live without a salary in the idle royal family?"

Li Luo said: "You can join the army, take the imperial examination, go to business, be a wise man, be a Taoist priest, or even farm. But you can't be a rice insect. However, when you see any official in a idle royal family, you don't have to salute them unless the other party is a royal family of higher generation."

Cui Xiuning burst out laughing, "Okay, you can be cruel, can't I? This is a good thing. If the country cannot raise so many descendants, it will harm them."

Li Luo continued: "Everyone, whether royal family or noble officials, has to pay taxes. Only the families of martyrs can enjoy twenty years of tax exemption."

"Agree." Cui Xiuning nodded.

"All royal families fail the exam and cannot inherit their titles according to the system. Those who fail the exam can only be reduced to their original titles. Doing this is not to help the country save money, but to encourage them to make progress and not become waste."

"Also, although the title is reduced and the title is inherited, if you make a contribution, you can be promoted. For example, a county marquis can be promoted to a county duke or a national duke immediately."

"In short, our royal family management system must not only treat the descendants the royal family as they should have, but also make them feel suppressed."

Cui Xiuning said: "The system that encourages the royal family to make progress is good, but is it possible that the royal family can make progress so hard that they think of Zhu Di?"

Li Luo smiled and said, "What did Zhu Di rely on? The kings in the early Ming Dynasty could control a lot of guard power. The princes of the Tang Dynasty had no army and only had one group of guards at most. How could they rely on rebellion?"

"If there is still a royal family who can become Zhu Di in this situation, it can only be said that the emperor is incompetent and the court is incompetent, which means that he is too capable, so he should be the emperor."

Cui Xiuning did not object, "That's it. Also, should the system of concubines in the royal family and officials be managed? We cannot take concubines endlessly if we have power and power? There are relatively few women, so we will not let folk men marry their wives? Moreover, there are too many concubines in later generations, which will easily lead to short life, distracted, and stupidity."

Li Luo snapped his fingers, "My wife is right. I need to make some decisions."

"I have thought about this before. In the future, all concubines cannot exceed thirty-six. Princes cannot exceed 18, and princes cannot exceed twelve..."

"The first-rank officials cannot exceed nine...the seventh-rank officials cannot exceed two. Those who do not have grades are not allowed to take concubines!"

"However, the emperor can give a reward!"
Chapter completed!
