The news of Xu Miaojin's return home soon spread to the palace, the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Five Cities Military Command.

However, at this time, the number of people arrested by the Wucheng Bingmasi and Jinyiwei had reached more than 30,000.

On this day, the Jinyiwei and Wucheng Bingmasi people were already furious, and later on, it was not just the people related to the pawnshop who were being hunted.

Anyone who had any connection with organized crime was basically treated with no mercy and no arrests were made.

In addition to the pimping business, there is another major industry involving women, such as brothels, prostitutes, and brothels.

The leader here has no face at all and is carrying out large-scale arrests.

In a place like prison, once you enter, you can't get out without an explanation.

Moreover, at this critical juncture, no one can help, no matter how much face one gives.

Even the lowest-level patrolmen and yamen runners did not dare to accept bribes at this time.

This is a truly big event.

After the news reached the Wucheng Bingmasi and Jinyiwei.

Jiang Li and Commander Zhang Yi immediately rushed to the palace to report.

Their main problem now is to ask His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Changsun for instructions on what to do with those who have been arrested.

If they release him right after arresting him, it will obviously cause damage to the government's credibility.

Sometimes, letting go is not that easy.

As for the matter of blocking the city gates, there has been no notification from the palace yet, so no one dares to say that the matter is over and just open the city gates.

Inside the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang said to his eldest grandson with a smile:

"This girl is really confused. She doesn't even know her own identity. She ran away from home without giving any news. I wonder how worried Xu Huizu must be."

"She has caused such a big disturbance in the capital. This girl should be more careful in the future. The cells of the Jinyiwei and Wucheng Bingmasi are almost full at this moment."

Hearing this, Zhu Ying smiled and replied: "My grandson, this is a good opportunity. These swindlers who usually cheat and deceive, especially those who are big."

"Many nobles are involved behind the scenes, and the relationships are complicated. The Five Cities Military Department usually doesn't dare to make any moves."

"From the Jinyiwei's perspective, this is like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken."

"It's all good now. I guess no one dares to interfere with this. The streets of the capital are probably cleaner than ever before."

"These gangsters talk about being heroic and righteous, but in the end they are just bullying the common people and squeezing money out of them."

"It's good that he's been arrested. Many people are probably excited about this and want to light a few cannons to celebrate. My grandson thought, since the person has been arrested, why not give him a thorough trial?"

"Those who are fine will be released, and those who have committed crimes will be dealt with accordingly."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded in agreement.

Growing up in the lower class, he had the clearest understanding of these despicable things. The so-called heroes of the green forest were nothing but deceivers who stole fame.

"Well, now that we've started this, let's get on with it. What Da Sun said makes a lot of sense. We are in the capital, the capital of the Ming Dynasty. We can't tolerate such shabby things."

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed and said that he was pleased that his eldest grandson always cared about the people.

This shows that Da Sun will definitely be a wise ruler after he comes to power.

Moreover, given the eldest grandson's personality, he is also known for his ruthless methods. It is really hard to find such an heir even with a lantern.

Compared with emperors of various dynasties in history, there are very few who are as outstanding as Dasun.

From the past, it seemed that the eldest grandson was living in the wild and lacked the education of the emperor's way.

But now it seems that living among the people has its advantages.

At least we understand the suffering of the people better.

"Grandpa, regarding the retirement of veterans, the Ministry of War has now issued a regulation."

Zhu Ying asked.

Before this, Zhu Ying had proposed a plan for decentralized governance of the county.

Nowadays in the Ming Dynasty, the county magistrate is also called the county magistrate.

The title of Taiye is a very respectful title among the people who live in clans, and it also reflects the supreme status of the county magistrate in the county.

What Zhu Ying proposed now is to disperse the power of the county magistrate.

This is not something difficult to understand, just like comparing it with the capital.

Why is it said that the capital's politics is clean and honest? In fact, it is not only because it is under the emperor's feet, but also because it has a complete management system.

For judicial purposes, there is the Ministry of Justice; for arrests, there is the Five Cities Military Division; and there is also the Jinyiwei, which is like a procuratorate and can file complaints.

At the local level, the county magistrate has a team of people who manage the huge county, and they are no different from local emperors.

The first thing Zhu Ying had to do was to take control of the local armed forces.

This is the public security system that is familiar to later generations, but what Zhu Ying is preparing to establish now is called the Public Security Bureau.

The establishment of the Public Security Bureau will take away the power of arrest and other armed functions from the county magistrate, which is similar to the Five Cities Military Affairs Bureau in the capital.

In other words, it is equivalent to a subordinate organization of the Wucheng Bingmasi.

This matter has been approved by the old man.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, taking away the military power from the county magistrate was a good idea.

It is more conducive to the centralization and unification of military power.

Zhu Yuanzhang also understood his eldest grandson's idea, which was to treat the county as if it were a country.

This Public Security Bureau is just the beginning.

"The Ministry of War and the Five Military Governor's Office are now handling the retirement of veterans, but at the age of 45, isn't it a little too early?"

"For many armies, too many veterans will simply retire to local areas."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked after thinking about it.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is stable, the number of conscriptions has been gradually reduced, and many of the elite camps are composed of older veterans.

After all, the Ming Dynasty was founded twenty-five years ago. Even the last batch of soldiers who joined the army before the founding of the Ming Dynasty were at least forty years old and over.

This scale would be quite grand.

Zhu Ying explained: "There is no need to rush, we can proceed step by step. The current main members can start with the Beijing Camp."

"The county security bureau, the prefectural security hall, and the provincial security bureau. By this calculation, I estimate that the entire security team in Ming Dynasty has more than 100,000 people."

"Of course, there is no need to rush to get them all in place at once. I think we can set up an assessment first. Only veterans who pass the assessment will be eligible for placement."

"If you have excellent grades, you can even work in the Public Security Bureau or the Public Security Department."

"These veterans are absolutely loyal to the Ming Dynasty. With them maintaining local relationships, the Ming Dynasty can have a subtle influence on the local people."

After hearing his eldest grandson's analysis, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded seriously while thinking.

"You have a clearer idea about this matter than I do. Let's have Ruheng come to your place tomorrow and make arrangements."

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was somewhat unfamiliar with this system, with his wisdom, he could imagine its benefits.

The biggest benefit is that the maintenance of the Ming Dynasty will be in a more direct form.

Zhu Yuanzhang's attempt to win over the landlord class was also for this purpose.

The method used by the eldest grandson is very similar to his own.

To be more precise, it is even more sophisticated.

The establishment of the Security Bureau has opened a way out for the old soldiers in the army.

According to Da Sun, in the future, patrol officers in the Public Security Bureau will basically be retired veterans.

These people are still very intimidating in the local area because they have served in the military, and their fighting power is not weak either.

The most important thing is that you have a way out. You don’t have to go back to the soil to dig for food. It will be much more decent.

If you think deeply about it, it will have great advantages for future conscription.

Ordinary people can definitely gain a better future by joining the army, which will give them more options.

"I am really surprised that my eldest grandson can think of these things. These methods, to a large extent, are for the stability of our Zhu family."

"According to Da Sun's future ideas, the system of the Public Security Bureau, the Criminal Law Bureau, and the County Magistrate will lay a solid foundation for the Ming Dynasty."

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly laughed and said, "My dear grandson, you are really too lazy. I think you came up with these ideas just to avoid being lazy."

"According to my eldest grandson's idea, many of the county's affairs will no longer need to be reported to the capital, and can be handled locally."

"If the county town doesn't work, then the prefectural capital. If the prefectural capital doesn't work, then the provincial capital."

"Only when things can't be handled in the provincial capital will they come to the capital. Not to mention the large number of memorials in the world, 70% to 80% of the memorials will be reduced."

"From now on, when my grandson reaches our position, I'm afraid he will be able to do nothing all day long."

Zhu Ying smiled helplessly and wondered why the old man would think in this direction.

Indeed, the emperor himself will be greatly relieved from the complicated daily affairs.

In fact, Zhu Ying's method, after all, is still imitating the key point of later generations: governing the country by law.

That is to say, all matters will be completed in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

After these competent departments were established and improved, Zhu Ying's next key task was to break away from people's livelihood and set up a department specializing in legal research.

More energy can be put into the overall economy, military, and various research directions of the Ming Dynasty, and enter the initial process of industrialization.

"Grandpa, there is no time to relax. There are still many things to deal with. Everything can only be carried out on a large scale after the sweet potatoes and other crops are mature."

"The people's food, clothing and safety issues must be put first. Only in this way will the people of Ming Dynasty be more protective of our Zhu family."

"Then the court's decision will be smoother."

Zhu Ying explained with a wry smile.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard his eldest grandson's last words, his eyes sparkled with a strange light.

He knew that his eldest grandson's ambition was greater than he imagined.

The people of the Ming Dynasty have really become loyal, and the army is trained at the current level, plus the food reserves brought by crops such as sweet potatoes.

No matter which emperor it is, after having such national strength, he will not be able to help but have huge ambitions.

Unlike previous dynasties, the Ming Dynasty now has a broader vision. This is also due to the previous dynasty. It understands that the concept of the world is much larger than imagined.

Who can refuse to become the greatest emperor of all time?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but ask, "Grandson, how long do you think it will take for these to fully mature?"

After hearing this, Zhu Ying pondered for a while and said, "It should be about three years at the fastest, or five years at the shortest."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's breathing became a little rapid.

According to his current physical condition, he can definitely live until then.

Then perhaps the eldest grandson does not necessarily need the title of the greatest emperor of all time?
