The news of the county magistrate's restructuring was brought up at the court meeting the next day.

Zhu Yuanzhang followed the wishes of his great grandson and first planned three counties in the southern Zhili area.

That is, the County Magistrate, the Public Security Department, and the Judicial Department.

This also means that in the southern Zhili area, the county magistrate no longer has the power to judge cases and the jurisdiction of the Yamen.

"Let's settle it like this. My dear friends, do you have any opinions?"

"Just bring it up boldly, we won't blame you."

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair and said calmly.

However, the officials below were disturbing each other for a long time, but no one came forward.

Everyone is not a fool. Now that His Majesty the Grand Sun is no longer present in the Fengtian Hall, who dares to stand up and object with His Majesty’s violent temper?

Even if this is wrong, you can't say it.

It's a mind-boggling job.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "Since all the beloved ministers have no objections, let this matter be settled as it is."

"Zhan Hui."

"I'm here."

"Immediately issue a notice to all county magistrates in the southern Zhili region, asking them to speed up the construction of the Public Security Department Yamen and the Judicial Department Yamen."

"The assessment will be opened separately, and the vacancies in the judicial offices and public security bureaus of various regions will be filled by alternate officials who have passed the assessment."

"I obey the decree."

"Ruyu."

"I'm here."

"Officials from the Public Security Bureau, please go to the Ministry of War. You should choose some good seedlings. Don't let us down."

"I obey the decree."

As Zhu Yuanzhang issued edicts one after another, the restructuring of the county seat was decided directly.

According to the progress of the Ministry of Personnel, the list will be finalized within three days, and then after Zhu Yuanzhang's review, the appointment documents will be issued directly.

In today's world, there are some things that Zhu Yuanzhang can decide with just one sentence.

This is what is called one-man dictatorship.

The news of the county magistrate's restructuring soon spread to the capital city.

Many storytellers from Jinyiwei's secret line also began to explain to the people the benefits of the three-point magistrate.

"I've long felt that something was wrong. Your Majesty is so awesome."

"At first I thought it was nothing, but after listening to what the storyteller said, I realized that it is indeed true. Some county magistrates have very dark hearts. It is a good thing to cure them like this."

"His Majesty is truly wise and mighty. Every move he makes is for the sake of our people, for fear that we will be bullied."

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting in the private room of Ping'an Tea House, listening to the storyteller's statement in the lobby below and the cheers of the people, and smiled very proudly.

"This newspaper is really a good thing. Jiang Wei, why didn't we think of it before?"

"As soon as the newspaper comes out, let the storyteller explain it, and the people can express their own opinions."

"Sometimes, those officials always think about their own interests and never consider the people. Even those students, what are their gains and losses?"

"We still remember that one time we went to the restaurant next to the Imperial College to secretly listen to the students and find out what their lofty ambitions were."

"As a result, everyone was talking about where the rich were, where the women were, and where the most unruly people were, and how to avoid them."

"I was so angry at that time. What's the use of the imperial examination? If we let such a bunch of drunkards go to work as officials, wouldn't this be a disaster to the people?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, and also explained the reason why the imperial examination was stopped back then.

Jiang Wei was listening on the sidelines. Hearing His Majesty's question, he hesitated and replied: "I have little education and don't know much about these things."

"But in my opinion, if the civil servants say it is good, it may not be good, but if the people say it is good, then it must be good."

"His Royal Highness Taisun founded the Capital Newspaper, probably because he wanted the people to know how much our Ming Dynasty values ​​the people."

"I have been in Jinyiwei for many years and have seen too many corrupt officials. What they like most is to deceive superiors and hide things from subordinates. Many officials just bully the common people because they are illiterate, so they tell nonsense."

"Join forces with those landlords and gentry, and do some deceptive things together."

"Now that we have His Majesty the Grand Sun's newspaper, people, even if they are illiterate, can hear what Mr. Shu said, and they will naturally understand the truth behind it."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Jiang Yu with some surprise.

When did Jiang Yu, who usually couldn't hold in a fart a day, be able to speak so many great truths?

Jiang Wei felt His Majesty's gaze and explained, "When Your Majesty saw your smile, I realized that my family was not that good when I was a child. The county magistrate at that time used the Yuan people's notices to deceive us."

"It was even more difficult at that time. Not many people from all over the country could understand the Mongolian characters, and no one could understand Mr. Yuan's Mongolian."

"Those officials can naturally say whatever they want."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard these words, he sighed and said: "It was not the case back then. These dog officials all starved to death, and they were still eating and drinking in their own homes."

"In the future, I will come to this teahouse more often and listen to the opinions of the people. If there are any deficiencies, I hope they can be discovered earlier."

The capital's residence newspaper made the people of the capital seem to be 'alive' all of a sudden.

During this period, when Zhu Yuanzhang had nothing to do, he liked to stroll around the streets of the capital.

Look at the prosperity of the capital and the energy on the faces of the people.

This kind of vitality made Zhu Yuanzhang intoxicated, and for the recent capital, it can be said that the appearance changes every few days.

...

During the raging reforms of the Ming Dynasty, the progress of the Japanese country was not very smooth.

Feng Sheng was sitting in the center, and news from the other three princes were constantly coming in.

Perhaps because they were unfamiliar with the place, many soldiers were not used to the conditions of Japan.

An earthquake a few days ago caused people to panic.

There were even rumors among the army that the land lord was angry and Ming Dynasty should not come to Japan.

After killing more than ten sergeants, the storm was stopped.

In fact, the people of the Japanese country did not have much resistance to the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Except for some people who were panicked at the beginning, they gradually improved.

It mainly lies in communication, after all, there are only so many translations.

The cities of the Japanese Kingdom, especially the City Lord's Mansion, are full of the flavor of the Tang Dynasty.

Feng Sheng was not used to the feeling of kneeling, so he asked someone to build some seats.

While checking the map, there was a noise in the yard outside. Feng Sheng looked up and saw that his nephew Feng Cheng had arrived.

Feng Cheng is the son of his elder brother Feng Guoyong.

"Cheng'er, what's going on with the Three Kings now?" Feng Sheng called his nephew to come and sit down.

In the past few days, Feng Cheng has been responsible for conducting external investigations and collecting some information about the Three Kings.

Feng Cheng replied: "Uncle, judging from the current situation, the most powerful one is King Yan."

"King Yan built the city and expanded the defense. The most important thing was that he gained the support of the local Japanese nobles."

"Now that we have found the location of the hidden food, I estimate that we will not have to worry about running out of food for the next six months."

"The King of Jin's side is quite stable. They have captured two small cities and several villages in succession. Among King Jin's troops, there should be personal guards from His Highness the Grand Sun."

??“They gathered the Japanese together and formed a Japanese army.”

"These Japanese are really ruthless, but with simple training, now they are completely focused on becoming a forward pressure, and they have really made a lot of achievements."

"After conquering so many territories, King Jin's own army has suffered almost no losses."

The summary means that Zhu Di was lucky and got the support of the local Japanese nobles.

The King of Jin was very sophisticated and trained a Japanese army, which allowed them to occupy a large area of ​​territory without using any of their own troops.

"Where is King Qi?" Feng Sheng raised his head and asked.

Feng Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "After the King of Qi occupied the city, he set his horse in the wild and killed the Japanese for fun every day. After the surrounding cities were captured, they were directly burned down."

"Nowadays, the land of King Qi with a radius of dozens of miles can be said to be solid and clear."

"A large number of Japanese people were directly demoted as slaves, so the momentum of King Qi's side was greater for the Japanese country than that of King Yan and King Jin."????

??“After hearing the news, many Japanese people ran towards King Jin’s territory in large numbers.”

??After his nephew Feng Cheng finished speaking, Feng Sheng said: "It seems that the three highnesses each have their own merits. In this case, I have nothing to worry about."

"The Japanese side does not dare to launch an offensive against our army rashly at the moment. They only need to complete the map drawing and slowly encroach on Kyushu Island first."

"Have you got in touch with the Korean side?"

Feng Cheng replied: "Uncle, the sergeants sent by my nephew were stopped by King Yan's people on their way to the territory occupied by Goryeo."
