My Daming New Empire

However, through the management of the army, it is inevitable that the people of the army will do something here.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. As long as all parties can complete the tasks assigned by the court, it is natural to leave room for their interests.

Although Zhu Zhanji's plan has some omissions in technology, at the management level, a mining interest group headed by the Ministry of Industry, a management interest group headed by the army, and a supervision group headed by the eunuch and the Ministry of Households have been established.

The three groups support each other and restrict each other. At the same time, they use a strict assessment system to adjust personnel.

After giving the corresponding benefit ratio, as long as the court can get the corresponding benefit without reducing it, let them fight each other.

There is no way around this. Today's communication, transportation and other aspects cannot make up for these management loopholes, so we can only determine a profit distribution ratio.

If the imperial court manages everything in one go, it will only lead to greater corruption.Zhang Zhidong's operation of the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant in later generations is an obvious example. In the end, the corruption caused the entire system to collapse.

In fact, this is a complex contracting system. The imperial court is responsible for overall planning, and each party obtains corresponding benefits to ensure that the interests belonging to the imperial court are not infringed.

And the ore is transported to Kaiping for refining, and the output is directly exchanged to another interest group, which also ensures the competition and constraints between them.

As long as the imperial court can firmly control the final output link, it will not allow several interest groups to collude.

Zhu Di liked this plan very much. Apart from this mine, there are other mines in Daming today, including salt tax, etc., which can all apply this model.

Therefore, without changing the word, he asked people to distribute the plan and asked all departments to strictly follow this model to develop Beimingshan Copper Mountain.

Zhu Di had no intention of concealing it. Everyone knew who came up with this plan. Although everyone studied this plan for several days, they did not find any obvious loopholes.

And Zhu Zhanji, the grandson, participated in political affairs for the first time, and everyone looked at him with such a good plan.

However, although Zhu Zhanji came up with this plan, it is impossible for him to get a share of it.

This is not the opposition of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, but Zhu Di's opposition.In the era of centralized power under the imperial system, Zhu Di was also a person with a great desire for power. Even his grandson could not steal his power.

What's more, after Zhu Di's death, these powers will eventually be handed over to Zhu Zhanji, and even Zhu Zhanji himself does not want to decentralize power.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji found a copper mine and came up with such a plan, Zhu Di would not treat him badly.

On the bright side, Zhu Di only praised him in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and allocated the royal courtyard of Tangshan Hot Spring, including the surrounding farms of nearly [-] mu, to Zhu Zhanji.

After Empress Xu's death, Zhu Di didn't like to enjoy the hot springs and rarely went to the hot springs.

Except for Zhu Gaochi who occasionally took Zhang's family to soak in hot springs, Zhu Zhanji went there most of the time. Everyone knew that Zhu Zhanji liked to soak in hot springs.

Secretly, Zhu Di also asked Zhu Zhanji for his opinion, knowing that he didn't care about Tongshan's interests, and was more willing to develop outward.Therefore, Wang Yan was also ordered to provide Zhu Zhanji with convenience in the sale of the internal prison's property and the customs, including the sales of products across the country.

After two days of consideration, he also agreed to Zhu Zhanji's request to establish a professional naval team, and promised to expand the current 5 sailors in Zheng He's fleet to [-].

In addition to these, Zhu Di also agreed to issue the general seal to Zhu Zhanji and mobilize this navy to his command.

It's just that the war has just ended, and we have to wait until we return to the capital, in January next year, to announce this matter.

Just because of the last reason, Zhu Zhanji has no complaints.

No matter when, power comes out of the barrel of a gun.With an army in hand, Zhu Zhanji is much more at ease.

On the tenth day of September, it is suitable for sacrifices, marriages, travels, avoid breaking ground, burials, and opening markets.

Most of the army of the Northern Expedition has returned to the various ministries, and there are only more than [-] Beijing troops and Jingwei, ready to go, set off from Beiping, and return to the capital.

This time the Northern Expedition, the fighting was only a few days, several times, but it took a total of one year.

At this time, the autumn is crisp, the harvest of the farmland has just entered the warehouse, and the farmers are busy planting winter wheat again.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhu Zhanji has already started to imagine his plans for next year.

Now he has been authorized to contact Jin Yiwei and the inner prison, and now he is authorized to train a navy.

With such a start, as long as you don't risk your life, you can develop steadily in this way.When Zhu Di died ten years later, he believed that he could take over the power in Zhu Di's hands with confidence.

Chapter 67 Back to Beijing

Departing from Beiping on the tenth day of September, Zhu Di's boat returned to the wharf next to Yuejiang Tower in Yingtianfu on the sixth day of October.

The people of the capital and the left-behind civil and military ministers welcomed Zhu Di and his party at the pier.

When Zhu Di got off the boat, the leader Zhu Gaochi and the ministers of civil and military affairs, including the people celebrating in sight, all shouted long live, long live, long live, and paid respects.

At this time, not to mention Zhu Zhanji, none of the accompanying civil and military ministers dared to follow Zhu Di's side, allowing him to enjoy the most formal welcome alone.

After everyone got up, Zhu Zhanji and the others disembarked one by one and joined the celebration team.

Zhu Zhanji walked towards Zhu Gaochi head-on, and before he came to him, he knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to him three times. "The child is not filial. After a long time, he failed to be filial in front of his father."

Zhu Gaochi couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and stood up with both hands supporting his arms. "My son is famous all over the world, and serving Daming is a great filial piety."

Of course Zhu Zhanji would not let him help him up. He would be helped by someone who was weak now, so he could only help him.

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji was already half a head taller than himself, Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "Joining the army is indeed training people. Ji'er is taller and stronger."

At this time, there were many ceremonies and complicated personnel. The father and son did not say a few words, and they were arranged by the eunuchs to different positions.

Zhu Di will take the dragon chariot and swagger all the way back to the palace. In front of all the people, he must of course have a good posture, and he will also call the prince Zhu Gaochi into the car, and enjoy the cheers of the people with him.

Although Zhu Zhanji is much loved, he is not qualified to join him at this time.

After Zhu Di's dragon chariot, there are also the carriages of the clan mansion and ministers of civil and military affairs.In front of Zhu Zhanji's car were all the cars of important state officials, and there were about [-] cars between Zhu Di's dragon chariot.

The convoy walked for about four hours before arriving at Chengtianmen, which is just south of the imperial city, from the pier.

Here, everyone gets off the car, enters on foot from Chengtianmen, walks along the imperial road, and enters Taimiao through Miaojiemen to perform a great sacrifice.

From disembarking at about noon, until it was dark, the whole sacrifice was over. At this time, the interior of the palace was already brightly lit.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs left the imperial city through Chengtian Gate, while Zhu Di led Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji into the palace city along the Meridian Gate.

As for the imperial concubine Zhaoyi and the four daughters of spring, summer, autumn and winter, they are not eligible to participate in the Taimiao sacrifices, so they have already arranged to return to the harem by other routes.

Zhu Di had been exhausted for a long time, but he had been holding on. After the sacrifice, he couldn't hold on any longer. He asked people to prepare several walking chariots and sat on them.

His chariot was carried by 16 people, Zhu Gaochi's was carried by 12 people, and Zhu Zhanji's was carried by only eight people.

Of course Zhu Zhanji had to show his performance at this time. He personally helped Zhu Di to sit up, and then he said with a smile: "Grandpa Huang is tired all the way, so my grandson will stop bothering you today, and I will go say hello to Grandpa Huang tomorrow."

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Your mother must be worried once you say goodbye to October, so you should accompany her well in the palace."

Zhu Zhanji deliberately teased: "Observe the order!"

Zhu Di couldn't help laughing, and pointed at him, but didn't know what to say, so he just cursed with a smile: "Little monkey!"

Zhu Zhanji laughed: "Grandpa forgot, I am a tiger, a little tiger."
