Chapter 288 Division of the Inner Palace

"Reading it out is easier for the inner government to regulate." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and asked Liu Ruoyu to continue reading.

Originally he was going to say a few words about the changes in each department, but suddenly he spotted an unusual figure among the uproar and writhing of the officials - Dingguo Gong Xu Xi. This made him curious and he was speechless.

interest of.

While he kept wondering about the intention of this big boss suddenly appearing here, Liu Ruoyu kept talking, and another imperial edict appeared, and he began to read out the changes in the inner government. This had nothing to do with many officials, so he did not just

Listen, just pay attention, don't think too deeply.

There are also many cabinet changes.

First of all, the internal funds were changed to the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty, which took back the right of the Ministry of Accounts to issue coins. From now on, only the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty could mint coins. The bank was put in charge of Wang Cheng'en, who was promoted to the rank of Minister.

This first article cheered up the bored and relaxed officials. They announced that there was nothing simple about the first month of the dynasty, and even the inner palace of the emperor's private organization could not despise it.

They braced themselves and listened carefully.

After the establishment of the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty, it issued currency in the coming year. There were three currency values ​​in total: small-denomination red copper coins, medium-denomination silver coins, and large-denomination gold coins. Various Tongbao issued previously can still be used as currency of smaller denominations.

Replenish.

As for the exchange rate between the three, it is one hundred red copper coins for one silver coin, and ten silver coins for one gold coin. This is determined with reference to the previous exchange rate. This is almost in line with the usage habits of the people in the Ming Dynasty at this time.

A thousand copper coins are exchanged for one tael of silver, and ten taels of silver are exchanged for one tael of gold.

Obviously, judging from this exchange rate, the currency value of red copper coins is significantly higher than the previous copper coins. This is why Zhu Youxiao did not completely ban all previous Tongbao coins. At this time, the consumption power of the people was not available. However, as time passed,

As time goes by, currency will depreciate, which is like the difference between one hundred yuan in the 1970s and 1980s and one hundred yuan in the 21st century.

When the time comes, the same will happen with red copper coins. Time will slowly phase out the old square-hole copper coins, just like the penny and the dime gradually withdraw from our lives.

After the establishment of the bank was announced, various departments were adjusted and abolished.

The original production department and sales department were abolished, and the military industry department, the heavy industry department and the commerce and trade department were established, with Sun Yuanhua, Song Yingxing and Wang Wenyan in charge respectively. Sun Yuanhua and Song Yingxing were promoted to the rank of Minister.

Various companies under the imperial government established corporate companies in accordance with the regulations, and were managed by professionals. The names of each company also changed somewhat. With this change, a number of companies were mainly established, such as the Steel and Coal Company, the Tiangong Company, and the Daming Salt Company.

As well as BMW vehicle manufacturing, the original wood processing center was also classified under BMW manufacturing.

In addition, there are some companies, such as machinery manufacturing companies that manufacture various hydraulic machinery and sewing machines, ironware manufacturing companies, and Daming Construction Company based on the road construction team of the Ministry of Industry.

Regarding military matters, workshops that made armor, swords and spears established cold weapons manufacturing companies, those that made muskets set up light weapons companies, those that made artillery set up heavy weapons companies, and those that built ships also became shipbuilding companies. In addition, gunpowder is also responsible for

Split off and established a gunpowder manufacturing enterprise.

Then, all the manufacturing enterprises under the imperial government were divided into three departments according to military industry, heavy industry, and light industry. Financial rights, personnel rights, purchasing and sales, and other rights were all delegated to departments and companies to make their own decisions.

Cold weapons, light weapons, heavy weapons, shipbuilding, gunpowder manufacturing, and sewing factories were divided and belonged to the Ministry of Military Industry. Steel plants, carriage manufacturing, machinery manufacturing, iron castings, and construction companies were all assigned to the Ministry of Heavy Industry, while Tiangong Company, Salt

Industries, brewing, glass manufacturing, and perfumes were assigned to the Ministry of Commerce and Trade.

As for the original personnel supervision and financial audit, they were merged into one department, and the Internal Supervision Department was established to be responsible for the overall supervision of various companies under the Internal Government. This was headed by Zhou Quan, the former eunuch in charge of Huangzhuang.

As a result, the inner government has formed a structure similar to that of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, with the inner government order as the leader and the following five work groups: military industry, heavy industry, commerce and trade, the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty, and the five-headquarter structure of the Supervision Department.

In this way, the industries that make money, control the logistics of the army, and the lifeline industries that cost a lot of money and must be controlled by the state are clearly divided, becoming an important means for the emperor to control the army and the economy.

The Neifu order in charge of the entire inner government regulation is Li Zhizao, who is as famous as Xu Guangqi in Western studies. He has the rank of Sikong, Zhengyipin Sanyi. This is the rank newly established by Zhu Youxiao. It is located above the Zhuguo. Sikong had a rank in ancient times.

The function of construction is suitable for use in the interior.

This dazzling change made everyone dizzy when they heard it, and it was almost impossible to grasp the emperor's thoughts. In the entire Huangji Palace, the only people who could really follow his thoughts were Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, Li Ruhua and a few others.

After they heard the entire reform, they were secretly surprised by the emperor. This strategy of mutual checks and balances became more and more sophisticated.

Many officials did not understand this, but they watched the three most powerful people listening carefully and pondering carefully. They also forced themselves to write down these things, and then went back to analyze them with the Empire Daily News, which was already an active group of people.

Although the actual operation may not be very good for political commentators, their analysis is clear and logical, with a unique perspective. You may be able to discover the emperor's deep meaning by listening to it for yourself.

At this point, the personnel adjustments in the Metropolitan Governor's Office and the inner government have been completely completed. In the end, only the adjustments in various ministries under the cabinet that have worried countless people are left.

If they could just watch calmly in the inner palace and pay attention to the changes in other people's expressions, now, all the officials are holding their breath and their hearts are beating in anticipation.

Those who can participate in the morning court are all officials of fourth grade and above. It can be said that they just cover the grades of the heads of various departments. This is a matter that is closely related to their interests. How can they not be nervous.

"Today's world is complicated and there are many affairs. The six ancient departments are no longer in line with today's reality, so I am making reforms now to adapt to the changes in weather and geography." After Zhu You finished speaking, Liu Ruoyu took over at the right time.

"The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, and the system is said to be..."

It is another long article with four parallel lines and six lines. After all the officials finally got through it, they finally got to the real content.

The first is the Ministry of Rites, which is the first department to bear the brunt. From the Ministry of Rites, there is a Ministry of Culture, which is responsible for cultural, educational and publicity work. The Minister of the Ministry of Culture is Yang Lian, and the Imperial Daily News is therefore placed under the Ministry of Culture.

As soon as this edict came out, everyone stared at it with envy. Shangshu, this is a high-ranking official of the second rank. There are only so many in the entire Ming Dynasty. If it is released outside, only the governor can compare with him. Yang Lian is really gone.

What a piece of luck, His Majesty just helped me out before he ascended the throne, and now he is rewarded like this.

Such a rapid rise is probably only matched by Zuo Guangdou in front of him.

Along with jealousy, many officials regretted it. Why didn't I speak up for His Majesty who was still the grandson at that time? Otherwise, the post of Minister or Governor would be mine now.
