It is really difficult to be an official in Fengtian Palace.

Under the eyes of His Majesty and under the supervision of the Imperial Guards, it is extremely difficult to be even a little bit greedy.

In other words, not to mention all the officials in Fengtian Palace, 90% belong to the ranks of upright officials.

If you are not an upright official, you won't be able to stay here for long, and you will have to be sent home sideways.

On the contrary, local officials are not so strong in supervision. If they are not greedy for money and are greedy for food, the problem is not a big problem.

Isn’t there another word for this, called filial piety?

If ordinary people or businessmen "voluntarily" send some food, it is not considered corruption or bribery.

The specific regulations regarding the reform of official salaries were published in the Capital Newspaper the next day.

For the common people, it is also a good source of conversation.

"This official's salary is not very high. A ninth-grade official only gets five guan notes per month. This is about the same as finding a job in the capital and working a little harder. It seems that this official is not good either.

Sure."

After listening to the story, a man couldn't help but speak.

But he was immediately educated by others.

"This is the salary paid by the court. Can it be compared with those who work hard? Besides, didn't you listen? The yamen is responsible for three meals a day. It is said that if you work overtime for some reason, you can also enjoy midnight snacks.

.”

"You think the food in this yamen is the same as what we eat. With that little money, I don't know how many meals I can eat and then it's gone."

After hearing this, the man completely ignored the sarcasm in it. Instead, he said with admiration: "The food in this yamen may be meaty every meal, and there are also midnight snacks for three meals. It's really good to be an official."

.”

"Maybe I can still manage enough."

Hearing this, the people around him also laughed, and at the same time looked envious.

It happened that at this time, the storyteller was telling about the government subsidies.

Not only is it about food, but there are also various subsidies and welfare gifts, which are simply enviable.

Envy is envy, but from the perspective of ordinary people, this is also a normal need of officials, and it does not give rise to any jealousy.

Whoever can be an official has profound knowledge and has read poetry and books.

It is natural and natural to live a more comfortable life than ordinary people like myself.

However, for many business people, after hearing the storyteller's narration, they felt a sense of self-importance.

The Ming Dynasty's strategy of promoting business made many people join in, even if they were illiterate, they all made a lot of money this year. Making more than a dozen guan of money a month was not considered a big profit.

It is also common to hear of people making hundreds of dollars.

And they are also the main force of consumption in the capital.

Money comes quickly, so naturally you don't care so much. Just spend it and earn it tomorrow.

The development of the entertainment industry in the capital is becoming more and more prosperous.

According to incomplete statistics, there are hundreds of newly opened brothels in the capital this year alone.

Those who had a good idea also recruited many foreign women from across the ocean, and their business was extremely prosperous due to their curiosity and beauty.

Many brothels also have something like this.

If you were to see foreign women with yellow hair and blue eyes in brothels during the Ming Dynasty at this time, don't be surprised. There were too many of them.

Where there is demand, there is a market.

After the maritime ban was lifted, maritime trade became more frequent. The bustling capital, cleanliness, etiquette, civilization, and products from all over the world made everyone who came here feel nostalgic for this prosperity.

Especially the foreign women who were bought by merchants from the Ming Dynasty during the war came here and had no intention of leaving.

However, the laws of the Ming Dynasty, especially regarding household registration, are only for Ming people. Others who want to join the Ming household registration, especially those in Nanjing, the capital, are more troublesome.

What's better for women is that they can find a household registration in the capital. Even if they marry someone with a household registration in the Ming Dynasty, they can settle in the Ming Dynasty.

Men are a bit more troublesome. If they have no contribution or have technical talents, the departments under the Ministry of Household Affairs will not register them.

People with non-Ming household registration do not enjoy protection in many legal aspects.

Although there is no explicit rule that those with non-Ming household registration will be inferior to others, the reality is that they are inferior to others.

For example, if a dispute arises between those who have household registration and those who do not have household registration, they will be treated unfairly if they go to an official.

It is an extremely common phenomenon to protect some cases.

Zhu Ying also understood this, and knew that it was somewhat unfair, but had no intention of changing it.

Why should we change and treat them differently? It’s good.

Only in this way can other foreigners, foreigners, have their hearts set on civilization and the Ming Dynasty.

On a deeper level, Ming Dynasty was originally a multi-ethnic country, where there was no distinction between Han people, Mongolians, etc.

There are only two concepts of Ming people and non-Ming people.

Attracting more outstanding talents and population is also a way Zhu Ying wants to carry out.

Differences and unfair treatment often make more people yearn for the Ming Dynasty.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's words, we, the people of the Ming Dynasty, can't take care of them. How can we have time to take care of these foreigners?

After the official system was finalized, Zhu Ying left the palace here and began to discuss matters regarding the workers' union.

Workers' unions are very necessary to implement in today's Ming Dynasty.

Because the cornerstone of industrial development is the worker group.

Ordinary laborers are workers, skilled craftsmen are also workers, and even doctors and others belong to the ranks of hundreds of workers.

Many creations and scientific research developments did not begin with the existence of scientists.

It’s just the workers who are pushing it.

To be more specific, it is technical work.

Among those who often work in front-line factories, there are often a few people with flexible minds who develop faster and more convenient construction methods.

With their rich practical experience, from a certain perspective, they are the prototype of modern scientists.

It's just because I haven't read enough that I can't form a more systematic theoretical approach.

A development process from scratch requires a large number of ancestors to explore alone.

Although Zhu Ying has experience in his previous life, he is not an encyclopedia. For many things, he only knows them but does not know why.

The big direction is clear, but the small direction is completely unclear.

But no matter what, the key is to protect the interests of workers first, at least not to be exploited by others for nothing.

After leaving the palace, Zhu Ying began to visit all the factories incognito.

Not only private factories, but also factories under the Qunying Chamber of Commerce are also visited.

Since the last assassination incident, Zhu Yuanzhang has a very full understanding of Da Sun's personal force.

So I felt very relieved about my eldest grandson’s visit out of the palace.

But naturally, he still has to be accompanied by bodyguards. Even the Xuanjia Guards will start training outside when Zhu Ying leaves the palace.

If something happens here, all the guards around Zhu Ying need to do is release a signal of gunpowder into the sky, and they will immediately take action to protect the safety of His Highness the Grand Sun.

In today's Ming Dynasty, firearms are strictly prohibited for private civilian use. This was also the rule Zhu Ying set when he developed the Gunpowder Department.

Anyone who possesses firearms privately will be severely punished, fined heavily, and have their firearms confiscated.

Anyone who injures someone with a firearm will be sentenced to fifteen years of hard labor, exile, or death, depending on the seriousness of the case.

However, merchants in sea trade enjoy special preferential treatment when going abroad.

After all, everything outside the Ming Dynasty was a barbarian land. In order to protect the safety of the people of the Ming Dynasty, those who had access to the territory of the Ming Dynasty could rent a certain number of firearms from the Coastal Gunpowder Department according to the number of people.

The lease of this firearm needs to be returned. If it is lost three times, the lease right will be canceled for life. This is also to prevent the large-scale loss of firearms and other people to start a firearms business.

At this stage, firearms craftsmen are firmly controlled by the imperial court. Even in some branches, most of them do not have complete craft inheritance and can only do some installation and distribution work. Naturally, the core skills can only be completed in the capital.

When Zhu Ying went to inspect the factory, it was naturally impossible to say that he was an ordinary person, even if he couldn't even get through the door.

Naturally, I cannot use the identity of His Highness Taisun, so I will definitely not be able to see anything.

The factory is still under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, and a new Industrial Supervision Department has been established under it to have sole jurisdiction over private factories.

Theoretically speaking, even the factories under the Qunying Chamber of Commerce are also within its control.

Zhu Ying, as an official of the Industrial Supervision Department, began to investigate the specific conditions of various factories.

And the bodyguards who accompany him are naturally treated as followers.

Although he is a bit young, it is extremely normal for some descendants of distinguished officials to take office in the current government.
