After the Battle of Guihua City, the weather in the entire grassland turned cloudy and foggy, and the sun swayed in the sky all day long without hesitation. In March of the lunar calendar, which is April in the Gregorian calendar, the weather in the entire grassland began to warm up.

Although the wind is blowing coldly, it is not that cold anymore. At this time, Guihua City is a busy scene. Countless cattle, sheep and horses are grazing leisurely under the supervision of shepherds, and more are

Like ants, grassland herders are constantly busy.

They were gathered here to break ground and expand the outer city on the original basis of Guihua City. With cement, the construction of the city was much more convenient. It can be seen from the foundation being laid now that it is a huge city.

It is gradually rising.

The coolies were shouting outside, but in Guihua City, Zhu Youxiao was handling government affairs very calmly. It was about ten days before the end of the battlefield. His army didn't go anywhere, but was sweeping the grasslands, clearing and suppressing.

Small tribe.

Since there is no need for indirect control by the leader nobles, etc., the suppression of the Hussars and Valiant Cavalry is quite bloody. Their leaders are killed, the herdsmen are plundered, and the cattle, sheep, and horses are brought back.

At this moment, near Guihua City, because of his actions, a population of four to five million people gathered. Fortunately, the countries in Indochina sent a large amount of food as tribute, otherwise he would not be able to afford to feed so many people.

.

Coupled with the desperate efforts of Tiangong Company and the Logistics Department to transfer food, he was finally able to have a normal supply of various materials.

The cavalry went to sweep up, while the infantry stayed to look after the houses and monitor the people building the city. At the same time, batches of landless farmers from the inland were sent here. Most of them were from Hebei, Shanxi, and Shaanxi. The local land was not enough.

They want to divide the land, so they can only do it this way.

Of course, they did not suffer a loss. After arriving in Guihua City, they had ready-made cattle, sheep and horses for distribution, built houses, free carriages from the emperor, as well as Tiangong Trading Company and other merchants involved in the woolen textile industry.

The order contract even included a settling-in fee of five silver coins for each person. Calculated per head, both the elderly and children were included, which was considered as a discount for the land they did not have.

They don't have to worry about their future life at all, they only need to worry about whether they can adapt to life on the grassland.

At the same time, support from the interior is coming in a steady stream, and with the support of the inner government, the manpower and material resources Zhu Youxiao can use are much greater than those of the cabinet.

The arrival of countless officials, civil servants, policemen, businessmen, etc. made this place very prosperous, and with the emperor's presence, it was very safe. With Zhu Youxiao's intervention, many textile industries moved here, and wool

It's so fluffy, so it's easier to process it on site and make it into various finished products and then sell them.

With output, population, and security guaranteed, a commercial metropolis is gradually taking shape. Of course, these are future assumptions, but everything is foreseeable.

Sitting in the glazed golden palace, Zhu Youxiao looked at the various feedbacks on the documents and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The situation in Guihua City was finally settled. When Baicheng also developed, the two cities were separated at two ends, which can be regarded as the future of Inner Mongolia.

The chassis is clamped.

This expedition to Lin Dan Khan was a huge harvest. Not only did he gain a large number of people and chassis, but more importantly, he obtained war horses. He finally allowed his 100,000 cavalry to have two horses. It was no longer the same as before, every time he marched

They all walked slowly and did not charge until they met the enemy.

With the two horses, especially the long-lasting Mongolian war horses, his two troops have the capital to attack long distances and the ability to maneuver on a large scale.

This is of great significance and is a strategic-level change.

As Guihua City got on the right track, with the formation of the police team, the formation of the city defense force, and the placement of various officials, the role of the field army gradually decreased, and finally even withdrew from daily life and was stationed alone at the foot of Daqing Mountain

.

They are all young and energetic young men who have experienced wars and have many negative emotions in their hearts. Although these have been suppressed by Zhu Youxiao's strict military discipline and generous rewards, once they relax,

If there is nothing to do, something will happen.

Therefore, since he still had to wait for a while in the prairie, Zhu Youxiao launched a large-scale study activity. In the evening, everyone gathered together to study cultural classes and literacy. The teacher was assigned to the army after the imperial examination last year.

Those five thousand people.

Although there are many people assigned to the fourth headquarters, the remaining ones are more than enough.

As for the daytime, it was simpler. There were military competitions, military academies, basketball, football, and various other activities. Two hundred thousand young men had a great time. They not only exercised their military qualities, but also relaxed. Later,

, Zhu Youxiao even formed a song and dance art troupe using singers and dancers snatched from various high-level Mongolian leaders, and performed in the army, completely relaxing the army from the tension of the war.

"Your Majesty, something has happened here. Why don't you return to the imperial court? Why are you wasting your food and salary here?" Faced with the emperor's delay, Comrade Chen Zizhuang, the newly appointed governor of Hohhot and left councilor of Inner Mongolia Province, asked.

Because of his outstanding contribution to the land reform work in Hebei, he came out of the Ducha system and was promoted here. There are many like him, and even some officials who were petty officials were directly promoted to county magistrate this time and came to the land of Inner Mongolia.

Contribute to the empire.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were not many other people. There were a lot of people who could be officials, not to mention tens of thousands of people, but there were no one knows how many civil servants and other miscellaneous petty officials there were. Their abilities were not bad.

It was only because he was poor in knowledge that he failed to pass the imperial examination, and his future was limited.

Now Zhu Youxiao has broken the shackles of the imperial examination and promoted many people, allowing him to use his abilities. With such a large base, Zhu Youxiao is not worried about some candidates resigning from office. There are people all over the world who want to be officials.

There are many.

Facing Chen Zizhuang's question, Zhu Youxiao smiled and replied, "I am waiting for the arrival of a memorial."

"Waiting for the memorial?" Chen Zizhuang was confused, not knowing what kind of memorial the emperor needed to wait for.

Ming Dynasty, capital city.

In the Wenhua Hall, several prime ministers and assistants were gathered together, sitting around the table, reporting on their work. The person sitting at the top was naturally the nominal second assistant. The actual chief assistant, Xu Guangqi, was sitting. Below him, there were several people sitting on the left and right.

.

Now that we have worked together for so long, we have understood each other's capabilities, and the tasks in charge have been confirmed. Wang Zuo, as always, is in charge of the Ministry of Works and presides over the road construction project that is currently attracting much attention in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Xieyuan is responsible for personnel work, mainly assessing and supervising officials from various provinces below, so that they can effectively implement various documents issued by the cabinet. From time to time, he will send people to inspect, and if any violations are discovered, they will be investigated and dealt with immediately.

Not only do they have to be sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for review of charges, but they also impose administrative penalties, dismissal from office, and never re-employment. Imperial examinations are prohibited for generations, and imperial examinations are prohibited for close relatives. Various punishment measures for involvement are quite serious.

, which made the officials below complain, but it was precisely this that made the officials of the Ming Dynasty, who had been accustomed to being lazy, become diligent and take care of various things.

As for the others, Bi Ziyan is in charge of economic work, in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Finance, the State Administration of Taxation and the General Administration of Customs. He has the most jurisdiction and the widest scope. There is no way to ask the cabinet to ask who has the greatest financial capabilities.

Strong.

Cai Fuyi is in charge of violent agencies, such as the Ministry of War and the Police Department. He is responsible for the establishment, execution, internal purges, and even training of police stations in various places. As for the affairs of the Ministry of War, although Hebei is gradually conducting militia training,

It remains to be discussed whether this system is truly implemented nationwide. Moreover, even if there are no problems, there are not so many manpower and material resources to implement it at this time.

The last one, Li Changgeng, was in charge of cultural education and diplomacy. He worked with Yang Lian and He Ruchong, dealing with Hanlin Academy and Tiangong Academy every day, regulating publishing houses across the country, and approving books.

Then publishing some books, or mediating the relationship between the vassals. It can be said to be the easiest job. But because I have the Imperial Daily News all over the country, the responsibility is not light.

Among the Twelve Departments, the Clan Mansion has always been a solitary one, and does not even go to court. Wang Changyue has the final say in all affairs within it. When I see them in the cabinet, they usually come to ask for money.

The Ministry of State and the Ministry of Household Affairs were under the charge of Chief Assistant Xu Guangqi and General Zhang. At the same time, he personally directed and supervised the land reform work.

This is the current power structure of the Ming Dynasty Central Committee. They each have their own affairs, and they go to the chief minister every day to summarize, discuss with each other, exchange their respective influences, and then go to work. It has a style of democratic centralism.

There was no way, it was different from the past. Because of the emperor's strong desire for control, the cabinet suddenly had a lot more affairs. Such manpower was needed to take care of them, otherwise the whole world would be in chaos.

However, when they gathered together today, they did not talk about their work, but discussed a rather serious issue, the imperial examination.

Since the emperor wanted to reform last year and set up a number of imperial examination subjects during the joint examination to divert the candidates for the examination, and then canceled the palace examination and directly determined life based on the results of the joint examination, the format of this year's imperial examination has not yet been determined.

Next year, the fourth year of the Apocalypse, there will be an examination for scholars, and the second half of the year will be the autumn period, and the spring period will be held the year after that. What is depressing is that until now, the emperor has not decided on the format of the imperial examination.

If it had been placed in the previous dynasty, he would have never even thought about taking the Eight-Part Examination, needless to say, but facing the extremely powerful Emperor Apocalypse, these officials had no idea.

Last time I changed the style and content of the trial, I don’t know if I will change anything else this time.

"Master Xu, I don't know what your majesty means." Several cabinet ministers asked as if they were asking for help. There was no way. Before the emperor left for the expedition, he talked with Xu Guangqi for a whole night. If he didn't explain the government affairs after leaving, no one would

Do not believe.
