I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

In terms of civil servants, the title given by Wu Changqing was much more stingy.

After all, he started his career with martial arts and paid more attention to the army.

As for the civil servants, if you say something unpleasant, even if you change a group of people, it will not be much worse than the current one.

They are all replaceable roles and are not eligible to enjoy such good treatment.

Gu Yanwu, the head of civil servants, was awarded the title of Minister of Officials, the second rank, and the title of Marquis. Mainly because he followed Wu Changqing the earliest time and the qualification is the oldest.

Ruan Dacheng was awarded the title of Minister of Industry, the second rank, and the title of Viscount.

This title is very low, a bit unworthy of his official power.

However, this was decided by Wu Changqing, and he did not show any dissatisfaction.

In fact, given his previous notoriety, Wu Changqing's willingness to use him, and giving him power was already a great gift.

The title has been given to him, and he can't have any resentment if it is not given to him.

Ma Shiying was named the Minister of the Ministry of War, the second grade, without a title.

Because generals have an independent official system, the Minister of War in the Dahua Empire has much less power than the Minister of War in the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that it is almost the smallest of all departments.

Qian Taoli was awarded the title of Minister of the Ministry of Housing, the second grade, and the title of baron.

The main reason is that he has followed Wu Changqing for a long time, and he started to follow him in Suzhou. He is considered a veteran.

Qian Qianyi was named Minister of Rites, Hong Chengchou was named Minister of Commerce, and Zhao Mingchong was named Minister of Punishment.

Liu Shijin was the censor of Zuodu, the second grade.

These eight people formed the cabinet in the Dahua Empire.

All major matters require the eight of them to negotiate.

Considering that the empire had just been established, Wu Changqing did not make too many changes to the civil service system, leaving this issue for later.

When there is time in the future, he will be full of tossing.

Seven departments are still too few. According to the administrative system of later generations, it should be divided into at least twenty or thirty departments.

At the enthronement ceremony, only the high-ranking officials of the second rank and the second rank will be determined, and those who are lower than the second rank will be decided later.

Officials from the third rank or above were recommended by the Ministry of Personnel and approved by Wu Changqing in person.

The official position higher than the seventh rank and lower than the third rank is determined by the Ministry of Personnel.

The official position lower than the seventh grade is different, and most of them can be determined by the local prefect or county magistrate.

In addition to the awards of civil and military officials, unexpectedly, some people engaged in scientific research were also given awards.

Moreover, the magnitude of the reward is puzzling.

For example, Feng Xianzhong, the leader of the steam engine research and development team, was awarded the title of third grade. There is no specific official position, but the status and treatment are the same as those of the three-rank official.

Even more astonishingly, he was also awarded the title of Earl.

This is the same as Gu Yanwu's title, many people don't understand, but Wu Changqing insists.

He will use this attitude to send a signal to the world that technology is the primary productive force, and being a scientist is the best choice.

If you want to become an aristocrat by being an official, don’t dream, those ministers of the second-rank cabinet don’t even have titles yet.

If this signal is passed on, those big families will definitely send the smartest ones to go on the road of scientific research in the arrangements for their children in the future. Those who are not so smart are sent to study and become officials.

The scientific researchers who were knighted were not only Feng Xianzhong, but also Guan Mengfei, who had improved the cannon. He was awarded the title of fourth rank, the title of Viscount.

Pang Hu, who had improved his steel-making technology, was awarded the fourth-grade title, the title of Viscount.

Song Yingxing, who discovered and extracted hydrogen, was awarded the title of baron from the fourth rank.

There are also some other project members, leaders. There are 16 scientific researchers who have been awarded titles, eight times as many as civil servants.

The scientific researchers who were awarded titles burst into tears one by one, and they could not have imagined that they would have such a day.

They had felt Wu Changqing's emphasis on scientific research before, but they still did not expect that the degree of emphasis he placed on it surpassed those of the cabinet ministers.

Others can't understand, but in Wu Changqing's view, it is very easy to understand.

Cabinet ministers, there are not one hundred people in the world who can sit in this position, at least eighty.

However, each of those researchers is unique and irreplaceable.

And their role is enormous.

After rewarding the ministers, Wu Changqing began to reward the imperial family.

Needless to say, her mother was the empress dowager of course. In fact, she doesn't need any name or anything, just the fact that he is Wu Changqing's mother is enough, no one dares to disrespect him.

Her status is detached and she has no real power, but Wu Changqing has to say goodbye when he sees it.

Not surprisingly, Chen Yuyan was named the queen, and her father, Chen Daolin, was named Duke of Anle, the duke, which was higher than Li Shaobin and the others.

However, the title of Chen Daolin only means that his family is a nobleman and has no real power.

Just like Wu Changqing's mother, everyone must respect them, but they will not be attached to them.

Luo Min was named Xian Concubine, Sun Yunxuan was named Concubine Shu, and Yang Xiaoxiao was named Concubine De.

Wu Changqing's younger brother, Wu Zheng, was named a prince and his name was Qin. From now on, he will be the King of Qin.

This award is very rich, the prince is the highest title, and the king of Qin is the most honorable of all the princes.

Zhu Yuanzhang's second son, Zhu Shuang, is

Awarded to the King of Qin. As for the eldest son, he was established as the crown prince, without the throne.

His younger sister, Wu Yu, was named the eldest princess, and the name was Princess Wuyou.

His uncle, Wu Zhiyue, was named General of Zhenguo.

The title of clan is different from relatives, civil and military officials. From high to low, it is the prince, the king of the county, the general of the town, the general of the country...

Wu Zhiyue is not a talented person, he does things according to the rules, and a general of the township can be regarded as preferential treatment.

As for Wu Zhiyue's children, the two adults were awarded the lieutenant of Fuguo, and the minors were not given awards for the time being, which will be discussed later.

The Wu family is a big family, but there are not many close relatives within three generations, only the Wu Zhiyue family.

There are many others beyond three generations, but those people are not eligible to be named nobles.

At most, give some monetary rewards in the future, and take care of their business at the same time.

The whole awarding process took a long time. After the end, the most happy laughs were naturally the scientific researchers who were knighted, followed by the military generals.

Civil servants, more or less lost.

However, they did not dare to show any dissatisfaction in this Wu Changqing-speaking empire.

And the civil servants who are familiar with history are not in a hurry, because at the beginning of each dynasty, military commanders were more valued. With the world at peace, the civilians can slowly suppress the army.

Like the second half of the Ming Dynasty, military generals were like dogs in front of civilian officials.

After completing the award, the next step is to go to Nanjing Central Fountain Square, which is specially opened up for large gatherings.

Their military parade ceremony will also be held here, and the people in the city can watch the whole process on both sides of the square.
