Zhu Jingyuan looked at the dock for a while on the tower, then returned to the palace to read the customs entry report.
Consider possible problems in all aspects, send reminders to relevant personnel, and make decisions if requested.
The day passed quickly.
Early the next morning, Zhu Jingyuan opened his eyes, stretched and sat up.
The maid next to him immediately brought some clothes and put them on Zhu Jingyuan's shoulders.
Zhu Jingyuan looked up and found that the people serving him had been replaced by Chunxiang and Qiuyue.
An Xiaona and Irene stood not far behind, looking here with caution and restraint, waiting for instructions from here.
Chunxiang was already an adult, and she was smart enough. She had followed Zhu Jingyuan since she was a child, and was brought by Liang Yunying. Yesterday, she was appointed as his personal secretary by Zhu Jingyuan.
Mammy, who was originally in charge of Zhu Jingyuan's daily life, naturally gave up this position.
An Xiaona and Irene were more cautious when facing Chunxiang than they were when facing the original nanny.
After all, the original nuns can only be nannies, and they still have a chance to become intercourse girls.
Chunxiang and Qiuyue are different, they can suppress them in all directions.
Zhu Jingyuan didn't think too much. He just asked them very casually while letting them get dressed:
"Have you checked my schedule for today? This is the most important job of a secretary..."
Chunxiang immediately responded respectfully:
"Before six-thirty in the morning, have breakfast with the Imperial Concubine.
"At seven o'clock in the morning, we left the city for daily military training.
"At nine o'clock in the morning, I received an audience with the clan in the main hall of the palace.
"At ten o'clock in the morning, receive visits from visiting and inaugurated officials.
"At two o'clock in the afternoon, we started to see the ten young ladies brought by the Imperial Concubine."
Zhu Jingyuan nodded slightly with satisfaction, put on his training clothes, washed up and went to eat with his mother.
Go out for training at seven o'clock, shower and change clothes again after coming back, and go to the main hall of the palace at nine o'clock.
The size of the main hall of the old palace was limited. There were a hundred clans standing in the middle of the main hall, which looked a little crowded.
When Zhu Jingyuan entered the door, he smiled and raised his hands to everyone:
"Fellow clan members, welcome to the Great Food Country!"
One hundred clan members also quickly bowed together and saluted:
"Greetings to the king."
Zhu Jingyuan handed over again:
"We are all members of our own family, no need to be polite, just sit down and talk."
After both parties sat down, Zhu Jingyuan said with emotion:
"Now that our Ming Dynasty has expanded its territory thousands of miles away, we are short of manpower everywhere.
"The Big Food Country is in a remote location and has nothing but oil.
“Neither immigrants nor officials are willing to come here.
"So I can only rely on my clan members."
A group of distant clan members suddenly felt that the Prince of Dashi was really humble and polite, and they quickly treated him politely.
"Your Majesty, your words are serious."
"We will do our best."
"We are all one family. You're welcome, Your Majesty."
Zhu Jingyuan asked the imperial court for officials, education personnel, and engineering and technical personnel.
There was a shortage of these personnel everywhere. The imperial court gave some officials, and the clan government dispatched another hundred clan members.
Both men and women in the Zhu Ming clan are required to receive compulsory education from primary school to university, which is of course free.
So as long as they are not really stupid by nature, the adult clan should at least have the level of a college student.
They have also received long-term basic military training and are proficient in riding horses, driving cars, shooting guns, and firing artillery.
In the current era where elementary school education is not widely available, they can directly serve as middle-level and grass-roots officials and military officers.
With a little accumulated work experience, you can become a chief officer at all levels.
The five million Zhu Ming clan is the "ruling group" of the Ming Empire, and its direct leader is the Ming Emperor.
The ruling group plus the new elite groups on the periphery are the entire ruling class of Ming Dynasty, the bourgeoisie.
With a total of five million clans, plus relatives who married clan daughters, it is certainly impossible for these tens of millions of people to be completely united.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and infighting and competition are of course ubiquitous.
But most ordinary clans have money, status, and a comfortable life.
After receiving a complete compulsory education, I understand that Ming Dynasty belongs to my family and how my current life came about.
First, they gain the ability through education and can easily take on high-paying jobs that others cannot afford.
The second is their clan status, which gives them huge advantages in many places.
The advantage of getting a complete free education is also gained by being a member of the clan.
Therefore, they all have the motivation and ability to defend their current status and their current comfortable life.
Most clans are instinctively insensitive to matters that may harm the foundation of the Zhu Ming Dynasty.
If they only live comfortably and are given status and life security, they will soon become corrupted.
Just like the ancient traditional ruling groups of previous generations in China, the most typical ones are the Weisuo of the Ming Dynasty and the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.
The Eight Banners system of the Qing Dynasty was not imagined by Nurhachi out of thin air. It was a perfect version integrated and revised from Zhu Yuanzhang's guard system and the Jia Ding system of the late Ming Dynasty.
The Eight Banners is a military aristocratic group and a preliminary and complete modern "ruling group".
Of course there are conflicts within the ruling group, but when faced with external threats, interests are highly convergent.
With this ruling group, the Qing royal family did not have to care too much about the feelings of scholar-bureaucrats and civil servants.
If the civil servants resisted the emperor's orders, the Qing emperor would kill them without hesitation.
Members of the ruling group are always available to fill the void.
Next to all the ministers and ministers, there is a Man Shangshu and a Man minister to manage and supervise their work.
The Eight Banners can even be regarded as a "ruling party" to a certain extent.
The "ruling group" of the new Ming Dynasty created by Emperor Zhu Cixiang was overall optimized and upgraded to a large level compared to the Weisuo, Jiading, and Eight Banners.
First of all, looking back at Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention, building a ruling group based on blood clans was more stable than the Eight Banners without blood ties.
Promote industrialization, obtain absolute monopoly status, nourish the ruling group with huge profits, and eliminate internal conflicts within the group.
The key is to add compulsory education so that this ruling group can achieve an effect similar to "national awakening."
This greatly slows down the rate of corruption of the entire group.
So much so that after more than a hundred years, the Zhu Ming clan still maintains good vitality.
It is several times higher than the Eight Banners of the Jiaqing era and the Junkers of the Napoleonic era.
Most ordinary clans now want to make more money and gain a higher practical status.
They have a very high enthusiasm for taking on various tasks.
Ordinary clan members would have two incomes if they came to help Zhu Jingyuan.
The wages directly paid to the corresponding position will be exactly the same as ordinary people in the same position, which appears to be fair.
But the clan also has a clan subsidy.
If you work in the Ming Dynasty, it will be issued by the Ming court. If you work in a vassal state, it will be issued by the vassal king.
The standard given by Zhu Jingyuan is that each clan has a minimum of one hundred silver notes per month and a maximum of two hundred silver notes.
There is an upper limit and a lower limit, and the key difference between the upper and lower limits is no more than twice. This is also the rule left by Emperor Shizu.
Let the income of most ordinary clans be maintained at a higher level than ordinary people.
At the same time, the income gap within the clan will not be particularly huge.
In Zhu Jingyuan's opinion, he, a senior time traveler, is really "very thoughtful."
But this kind of ruling group cannot really last long.
or
It is said that no ruling group can really last long.
The current Zhu Ming clan group can be considered at its peak stage.
The number of groups is large enough, and their control over the country has reached its peak.
Civilians were unable to rebel. Officers at all levels were surrounded by clan governors who were responsible for the ideological education of soldiers.
The proportion of social resources occupied is still not particularly large, and it has not completely blocked the upward channels for ordinary people.
Most of the court officials and military officers still came from ordinary families.
Corruption is still not particularly serious, and remote and marginalized clans can get ahead relatively easily.
The clan is generally still in a high-spirited state, and is accustomed to relying on ability rather than status to compete for status and resources.
The abilities they acquired through education naturally convinced the ordinary people around them.
Driven by expansion and the industrial revolution, this peak state could be maintained for decades.
But once the technology develops to a bottleneck, the overall construction of the Ming Dynasty reaches a bottleneck, and the clan population reaches a significant enough point, various contradictions will begin to become prominent.
The conflict between the nearby clan and the distant clan, the conflict between the clan and ordinary people, the conflict between the clan and the court...
Maybe it's a problem I need to face when I get older.
Zhu Jingyuan was thinking about the future and chatted and laughed with a group of clan members for half an hour.
Then let Liu Zhixin come out and announce the arrangements for these clansmen.
Most of them work as grassroots people-friendly officials, some work as project construction directors, and some work as school teachers.
A small number are responsible for training the militia.
Most of them will leave Liusha City. They came here today specifically to meet Zhu Jingyuan and receive their job and status arrangements.
After the arrangements were finalized, the clan members got up and left.
Zhu Jingyuan sat in his seat for a while. At ten o'clock in the morning, a group of Ming officials entered the hall one after another.
"Wu Xuan, the headmaster of Qinhai Academy, comes to see your Majesty."
"Lu Yinpu, the chief envoy of Northern Mo, comes to see your Majesty."
"The right chief historian of the Dashi Palace and the prefect of Kezhou (Crete) quoted it and presented it to the king."
"Pan Shien is being heard from the right side of Prince Dashi's palace. Please see your Majesty."
…………
The officials were greeted by name one by one. Zhu Jingyuan nodded slightly and asked them to sit down.
The president of the academy is the principal of the school. Most universities in the Ming Dynasty are still called academies, and the president of public academies is also an official.
Neither Wu Xuan nor Lu Yinpu were officials of the Great Food Kingdom, but directly served as chief envoys and college officials.
Wang Yinzhi is the son of Wang Nian Sun Shangshu. His current status is both an official of the Dashi Kingdom and an official of the Chief Envoy.
As the right chief historian of the palace, he will also be in charge of the affairs of the Great Food Kingdom in the Qinhai area.
Pan Shien is a pure food country official.
Among the officials of the feudal prince's palace before the Renwu Dynasty, there was originally a judge who was a sixth-rank judge and a judge who was a seventh-rank judge.
After the Renwu Dynasty, it was changed to two trial judges on the left and right, both with the rank of sixth grade.
But just like the long history of left and right, some small countries may only arrange one, regardless of left and right.
At the same time, the grades of royal officials in overseas vassal states were automatically raised by two levels.
The long history was originally the fifth rank, but in the feudal state it was the fourth rank, and the trial became the fifth rank.
The final arrangements for these officials sent by the imperial court were the same as those of the clan.
Most of them will also go to work in various places in the big food country.
Only the pure palace officials headed by Pan Shien will stay in Liusha City.
However, their children will temporarily stay in Liusha City to go to school or work.
Compared with the Great Qin Sea, which faces the European and Western countries across the sea, the Persian Gulf is an area completely controlled by the Ming Dynasty.
Even though Prince Dashi looked down upon him, they were all willing and hoping to keep their children.
