This was also one of the responsibilities of the Five Military Commissions. If the Ministry of Works Academy provided the technology and the Ministry of Works or the Twenty-Four Offices manufactured the military equipment, the Five Military Commissions could refuse to accept it if they were not satisfied.
This can be considered some of the 'advanced concepts' brought by Zhu Yunying. The military raised some requirements, and the arms dealers worked hard to develop them. The imperial court naturally had to organize and coordinate well, and balance the relationships involved, but it was essential to ensure that all technologies could enhance the military strength of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yunying smiled and nodded, very satisfied with Yan Zhenzhi's attitude. "That's good. We're not afraid of the academy spending money and resources. What we're afraid of is those craftsmen working behind closed doors, producing things that look impressive but can't be widely used in the military or civilian sectors."
This can't be considered "highbrow and unpopular." It's simply that Zhu Yunying didn't want to see more resources wasted; he needed advanced technology that could provide sufficient assistance to the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yunying absolutely forbade working in isolation, and this was indeed something he had always been wary of.
While it's not to say there's absolutely no waste of resources, such things are relatively rare overall, so Joo Yoon-young could accept it.
After talking with Yan Zhenzhi for a long time, Zhu Yunying let him leave. Wang Chengen also brought a handwritten letter, which was naturally addressed to Zhu Yunying's three uncles. Some things could be put into action at this time.
These things naturally can't be discussed openly; it's best to keep them in mind. This involves doing things quietly, with everyone playing dumb for the time being. Even if insightful individuals bring them up, Emperor Zhu Yunying will certainly try to smooth things over or directly take sides.
The Age of Exploration is about to begin; at least there's a trend of it starting now. The Ming Dynasty's fleet should be sailing to more distant places.
The large-scale development of Liaodong also needed to be considered at this time, and naturally, military officers were at the forefront. They might have to do some things that seemed to anger both heaven and man.
However, Zhu Yunying was definitely pretending to be confused about such matters. He simply wouldn't admit it, he simply wouldn't object, and even if some upright people were to jump up and down in anger, disappointed, or disheartened, it probably wouldn't change some of Zhu Yunying's decisions.
There's definitely nothing wrong with doing this; I wouldn't say I feel guilty. It's just that Zhu Yunying needed to start preparing things in advance. As long as it's good for the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunying doesn't care about being criticized.
After finishing his day's work, Zhu Yunying returned to the East Palace. Upon seeing Zhu Yunying, Xu Miaoqing quickly finished her work.
"What are you all busy with?" Zhu Yunying asked with a puzzled smile. "The Empress is also keeping busy. There are still so many things that haven't been dealt with yet."
Xu Miaoqing quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I am assessing the family background and character of the candidates. Since Your Majesty and my grandfather trust me, I will naturally do my best to find suitable matches for my uncles."
Look, Zhu Yunying, this nephew, is arranging his aunt's marriage. Xu Miaoqing isn't idle either; she's also overseeing her uncles' marriages. These younger generations are constantly helping their elders with their life's most important matters—where's the justice in that?!
However, in Zhu Yunying's view, these things were to be done. After all, he was the emperor, and Xu Miaoqing was the empress; such matters naturally needed to be decided by them. Marriages among the imperial family were never trivial matters and could not be taken lightly in the slightest.
"That's good. You should keep an eye on things during this time." Zhu Yunying nodded with a smile, not intending to get involved too much. "If you find someone, remember to bring them to the palace for a look."
Xu Miaoqing nodded repeatedly, knowing she dared not be careless in this matter. The trust of the Emperor Emeritus and the Emperor made her happy and surprised, but if she couldn't handle these matters well, it would be difficult to accomplish more in the future.
This can be considered a small test for Xu Miaoqing. Zhu Yunying still trusts Xu Miaoqing. He believes that as long as Xu Miaoqing puts in a little effort, she will be able to handle these matters well.
As for matters of power, it does seem that Xu Miaoqing has been given some authority. However, to be realistic, this is also within the Empress's duties, and there is absolutely no problem in letting Xu Miaoqing make the decisions!
