Chapter 18 It's time to get down to business(2/2)
"How did the news reach the ears of Westerners? Your Honglu Temple negotiated with the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Personnel to resolve it."
"I obey the decree."
"You just need to be aware of this matter. If it spreads among the people and makes people talk about it, I will punish you no matter how much you earn!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, we would rather die than let the news leak out!"
"Old Jiang, I've given you the opportunity to enrich the national treasury, so you don't need to continue to complain to me!"
"I am aware of my guilt, and Your Majesty is wise."
"Take a seat, and take advantage of your free time to think about how to maximize the benefits of your transactions with Westerners."
"Yes, thank you Your Majesty!"
"Ministry of Industry, tell me your story!"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the work that Your Majesty assigned to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs to coordinate the construction of schools and the promotion of education in Beifu and Xinfu has begun to bear fruit.
Today, 1,215 schools have been built in the two places, 800 of which already have teachers.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs is continuing to issue decrees and vigorously encourage scholars to go to the north to teach.
Because of His Majesty's series of benevolent policies, people in both places sent their children to school..."
"Well done, don't slack off on the rest!"
"Yes, I obey your order!"
"Military Department!"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the veteran ministers worked together with the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs to streamline the troops and horses, and the matter has been resolved in all likelihood in the past six months.
Nowadays, all the guards, all the ministries, all the guards and soldiers in all the prefectures and capitals..."
"Okay, your Ministry of War needs to pay more attention to the issue of appeasing the soldiers who are working as farmers during the war and serving as soldiers during the war.
Nowadays, everything in the world is in ruins, but we cannot allow a mutiny or civil commotion to occur because of your negligence.
I have said that there is no small matter in the administration of people's livelihood, and you must go all out.
Otherwise, you, the Minister of War, will end up sitting there.
The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs coordinate.
Military attachés and sixth supervisors are not allowed to neglect their duties.
Otherwise, I will never give in to ministers and ministers for dereliction of duty on matters related to the rise and fall of the world, such as the people's livelihood and the administration of officials.
You all know my nature of distinguishing between public and private matters, and I hope you will keep it in mind!"
"O minister, please obey the Holy Word."
"Official staff!"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, regarding Qiu Wei..."
"Xingbu!"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, regarding the administration of officials in various prefectures, the veteran ministers have cooperated with Dali Temple..."
The memorials of the six ministries and nine ministers, each of the government agencies under their jurisdiction, came to an end from the east until noon.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the officials returning to their posts and waiting patiently for the end of the court. He raised the document in his hand and waved it with a half-smile.
My lords and ministers, now that you have finished your memorial, it’s time for me to talk about the next steps!
The civil and military officials who had been waiting to retire from the court subconsciously prepared to salute and retreat when they heard Liu Mingzhi's words. They were stunned for a moment before they reacted when they heard Liu Mingzhi's words.
