The eighth day of the first lunar month of the fifteenth year of the Jin Dynasty. In the early morning, when Su Tiancheng woke up, a ray of sunlight came in through the window, making the room very bright. Today is the day of the morning court, and it is also the time to go to work on the first day of the new year. The time for going to court has long been changed to Chenshi. The previous rule of going to court at Mao hour has been abolished. There are not so many people participating in the morning court. Shangshu Province, Zhongshi The main officials of the Shu Province and the Menxia Province, the left and right envoys of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the six ministers, the left and right ministers, and the heads of the six temples and nine ministers will also participate if necessary, but this situation is rare, and every The responsibilities of each department are clear. On the first morning of the new year, more officials participate. This is a formality and a fixed procedure. Zhu Shenxin got up early and prepared a set of washing utensils. The huge changes within the palace were a huge shock to the officials and people. After so many years, the emperor has never married a woman. In the palace are the empress and the imperial concubine. His highness the prince has long been married, but there are only four women around him. And as time goes by, many eunuchs die of illness. In the palace The number of eunuchs is gradually decreasing. Because of the strict regulations of the Jin Dynasty, it is impossible for people to continue to be castrated among the people. Eunuchs are gradually becoming history. It is estimated that after all the eunuchs in the palace grow old, there will be no eunuchs in the Jin Dynasty. . The number of palace maids has dropped sharply. According to the emperor, they have to worry about their own food, clothing, housing and transportation, and there are many secret parts of family life. They don¡¯t need outsiders to see them, let alone serve them. They can just do it themselves. Besides, the palace ladies have been in the palace for a long time. It delays youth and also delays the time to start a family. How could I possibly see Mr. Ruyi in the palace all day long? The emperor follows the same example as above. The rest of the civil and military ministers will never dare to be arrogant. They strictly control their personal enjoyment and are under the emperor's suggestion. The imperial court passed regulations on strict economy, and everyone must abide by them. Needless to say, among the people, frugality has become a habit, and luxury and waste are despised. As for the wealth of the Jin Dynasty, it cannot be expressed in simple words. Many vassal states have pleaded to become prefectures and counties under the rule of the Jin Dynasty. Unfortunately, the emperor did not allow it. As for the many blond barbarians in the Western Regions. Countless people came to Dajin, either in the capital, in Shandong, or in Zhejiang, Guangdong and other places. Since then, they have settled down and become citizens of Dajin. This wave of immigration has lasted for nearly ten years. The biggest change is in Japan. Japanese rulers have always believed that the Han, Tang and Song Dynasties represented standard Confucian culture, as for the later Ming Dynasty. They are all very different. Some Japanese even believe that Japan truly represents Confucian culture. However, with the prosperity and prosperity of the Jin Dynasty and the widespread spread of Confucian culture, countless outstanding Japanese young people have emerged. After crossing the ocean and arriving in Jin Dynasty, many of them entered the Jin Dynasty as officials, and some even lived in Jin Dynasty since childhood and entered schools. When you take the imperial examination, you will basically be a member of the Jin Dynasty from beginning to end. Starting from the seventh year of the Jin Dynasty, the fully unified Jin Dynasty welcomed many worshipers. After annihilating the Later Jin Tatars, the Jin court fully shifted to economic construction. Of course, the construction of the army cannot be relaxed. The total strength of the Jiangning Battalion is maintained at 500,000, of which the number of professional officers and sergeants is maintained at about 100,000. The remaining sergeants are all recruited through a recruitment system. Men between the ages of 18 and 30 , are all in the military service. After joining the army, they will serve for five years. During the military service, the army will provide subsidies, which is enough to support their families. The total number of the Forbidden Army in the capital is still 20,000, but they are very elite. Ordinary people should not even think about having a chance to enter. The treatment of the Forbidden Army is higher than that of Jiangning Camp. The soldiers of Jiangning Camp have to hold a competition every year. Especially outstanding sergeants, There is a chance to join the ranks of the Forbidden Army after training. The status of the army and soldiers has increased unprecedentedly. This is mainly because the status of the army and soldiers in the court is completely different. Although the court adopts a military service system, because the number of the army is too small, a large number of young people think about it every year. After entering the army, it is not easy to truly become a soldier. With the status of a soldier and outstanding performance, you can pass the internal military examination, directly enter the court, and serve as an official in the court or local government, which further highlights the advantages of the military. However, the regulations of the imperial court are still strict, that is, the army is under the absolute control of the emperor, obeys the orders of the Governor's Office and the Ministry of War, and is not allowed to interfere with local affairs, except in special circumstances. As for local security matters, they are all handled by The Inspection Department is responsible, including local governments. The Forbidden Army within the capital is mainly responsible for protecting the safety of the palace. The security of the capital is also directly responsible for the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, which is directly managed by Yingtianfu Yamen.?, like the local inspection department, it does not belong to the military sequence. The biggest change is in the school. With the development of the economy, the imperial court has invested more and more in education. For example, there are more than 20 schools dedicated to basic education in the capital. In general, the number of schools in provincial capitals is more than 10. Depending on the number of people in the government office, places with a large population in the south may have more than ten schools. County government offices generally have more than five schools. Some particularly remote places with small populations, such as grassland areas, have an obvious number of schools. Fewer, maybe only one or two schools. There are more and more schools, and there are more and more scholars. Because the imperial examinations are fair, and engaging in business and other activities also requires a certain amount of knowledge, people are paying more and more attention to their children's education, regardless of their family background. , all children must attend school. The tuition fees are borne by the government, which also encourages more children to enter schools. Of course, there are still some gaps in girls' education. The government is working hard to allow more girls to enter schools. The place that has changed the most is Songjiang Prefecture. After Songjiang Prefecture was designated as another port by the Jin Dynasty, it developed very rapidly. Strictly speaking, the scale of Songjiang Prefecture's port exceeded the scale of Dengzhou's port and the development of the port. It has a great impact on the local economy. Songjiang Prefecture quickly became a central place for merchants to gather. People from the Western Regions did not want people from the Western Regions to enter and live here. After discussion, the imperial court specially designated Songjiang Prefecture as a special place. Business center area. ??The second is Guangdong and Fujian. Because of its special geographical location, it has become a commercial and trading center second only to Songjiang Prefecture and Dengzhou Prefecture. The huge development of commerce in these places has led to the surrounding areas. With the continuous increase of large-scale workshops, people have more and more choices. There is always something to do during the slack time. Some farmers slowly begin to get away from cultivating the land. They Working in the workshop, the money earned is enough to support the family. The development of military industry and science and technology. It is also eye-catching that the imperial court invests a lot of money every year, specializing in the research and development of military industry and the development of science and technology. In this regard, even Su Tiancheng did not expect that because of the increase in large-scale workshops and the needs of the market, the prototype steam engine would actually be used in large-scale production. Jin appears, after the steam engine appears. It quickly attracted the attention of the imperial court and began to intensify research. How to implement improvements. The wave of industrialization will surely enter a new stage with the emergence of the steam engine. Of course there is regret, and Su Tiancheng sees it very clearly. With the development of the economy, the fixed pattern of feudal society is slowly being shaken, and as this shakenness intensifies. The imperial power must be affected. This was originally a phenomenon of social progress. Su Tiancheng knew it and supported it, but commercial capital grew rapidly. It is not necessarily a particularly good thing, it must be controlled. Once a business oligarchy is formed, it will inevitably influence politics. Everything is for commercial interests. Such a situation will definitely have a negative impact on the future development of Dajin. Influence. Capital operation has just begun to emerge, but its power is huge enough to affect everything. The emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Su Tiancheng, is watching all this closely. As for how to face and prevent all this, there are people who specialize in this field, so Su Tiancheng will not care so much. The world is always progressing, and nothing is perfect. Even if the Jin Dynasty develops rapidly, it may encounter too many changes in a few decades or a hundred years. In the past, Su Tiancheng was full of passion, but now he is calm. After that, I think there are still fewer intervening factors, and we try to follow the laws of development. When walking towards Huangji Palace, Zhu Shenxuan was already waiting outside Qianqing Palace. Generally, morning dynasties are held in Qianqing Palace, but the first morning dynasty after the New Year is usually arranged in Huangji Palace. Zhu Shenxuan is getting older and has gray hair, but he is in good spirits. He has been in power for more than ten years. He is very different from before. His majesty is undoubtedly revealed. There was a time when Zhu Shenxuan was very worried. , It is not a good thing to have high achievements and shake the master, but the emperor has never had such an idea, and the requirements for him are very clear. Just do things according to the rules, and don't break the rules. Don't have such thoughts. More than ten years have passed. Zhu Shenxuan's requirements for himself and his family are pretty good, but it is impossible to say that he has no care at all. After all, his sister is the queen and his nephew is the prince. "Lao Zhu, you look in good health. It's the beginning of another year, and spring is your plan for the year. You have to be busy." "Your Majesty, thisIt is the responsibilities of the minister. The examination for the admission of officials will be held this year. I am still worried. There are always not enough officials in the court and local governments. It is time for the emperor to relax. After so many years, the number of officials Nothing has been added. " "There should be more increases this year. The focus is on the Ministry of Household Affairs. The commerce and trade area needs to increase its jurisdiction. There is also the external area. The envoys stationed outside will have to be adjusted after five years. . ¡± (It¡¯s the final stage. Thank you readers for your support. The new book "Iron-Blooded War" has begun to be uploaded.
