Emperor Su He stayed in Rongcheng Mansion for several days.
This is the center of the southwest region of the Great China Dynasty, which can radiate to the Governor-General's Palace of Myanmar and the Governor-General's Palace of Siam.
Yunnan and Guizhou provinces are relatively weak, and most of the immigrants needed by Myanmar and Siam come from the Sichuan and Chongqing regions.
The officials transferred mainly come from the Sichuan and Chongqing regions, especially Sichuan, which has a large population.
In addition to serving as a transportation hub in the southwest region, Sichuan transports materials from all over the country to Myanmar and Siam.
At the civil and government levels, Sichuan has frequent exchanges with Myanmar and Siam.
Emperor Su He recognized Sichuan's approach and told Feng Kuang, the governor of Sichuan, to continue to increase efforts. Sichuan was closely linked to Myanmar and Siam.
In this way, after one or two generations, Burma and Siam will be able to abolish the governor-general's office and officially become a province of the Great China Dynasty.
Emperor Su He is in Sichuan. He has inspected everything that needs to be seen and has received all the people that need to be received.
He has achieved all his set goals.
Emperor Su He ended his trip to Sichuan and took a special train north to Shaanxi.
The special train stopped at Hanzhong City, a city that Emperor Su He never forgot.
Emperor Su He allowed the rest of his entourage to roam freely.
Hanzhong not only has an extraordinary status in his heart.
This is also the second hometown of many important ministers of the country.
Wei Shiming and others are all very familiar with Hanzhong City.
Emperor Su He took Liu Rushi to the Prince of Qin's Mansion.
He revisited his old place and remembered his previous experiences.
Emperor Su He did not let local officials disturb him, he just wanted to find memories in this city.
He came to Prince Qin's Mansion where he had lived for several years, and after several years away from Prince Qin's Mansion, the place still remained the same.
It's just that the Qin Prince's Mansion, which was full of people, has now become deserted, with many cats coming in and out from the side door.
An old cat with a snow-white body and dark limbs was resting on the stone lion in front of Prince Qin's palace.
Emperor Su He called out: "Xiao Bai."
The cat raised its eyes, looked in the direction of the cry, and then ran into Prince Qin's Mansion.
It quickly took out five small white cats with similar looks and placed them at the feet of Emperor Su He, purring non-stop.
Emperor Su He looked at the little white cat, which he was very familiar with.
One of the cats he raised personally.
This cat has a hard time leaving its homeland. I tried to take it away from Prince Qin's Mansion many times, but every time it jumped out of the car and returned to Prince Qin's Mansion.
He touched Xiao Bai's head, picked up the kittens, handed three kittens to Liu Rushi, and he held two kittens himself.
Emperor Su He understood the meaning of the little white cat. He had not seen his owner for a long time and wanted him to raise these kittens.
Liu Rushi looked at the little white cat and asked, "Husband, aren't you going to take this little white cat away?"
Emperor Su He smiled and said: "It lives very well here and has many friends.
The little white cat has made this place his home and doesn’t want to leave.
I respect the choice of the little white cat and cannot take it away forcibly because of my preference.
This is a cat with a temper. "
They walked into Prince Qin's Mansion, and fragments of scenes flashed in Emperor Su He's mind.
He sat on the seat of Lingyun Palace, recalling many major events in his mind.
Most of the decisions that overturned Ming Dynasty were made in this room.
He and Liu Rushi visited all the places in Prince Qin's Mansion.
Emperor Su He came to the Han River and looked at the busy factories in the industrial zone.
The billowing black smoke drifted in the wind, and from time to time there was a pungent smell, which contained the smell of various chemical reagents.
He was very satisfied with the development of Hanzhong County. This was the birthplace of the first water conservancy factory and the birthplace of the first textile machine.
Here the first furnace of steel was produced and the first tank of sulfuric acid was produced.
Hanzhong has a strong industrial heritage.
Emperor Su He didn't want it to rest on its laurels and not make progress.
Hanzhong did not disappoint him. In the three major industries of alloy steel, machinery, and printing and dyeing, Hanzhong's technology is among the best in the country.
Emperor Su He did not stay in Hanzhong for too long. He took the train and continued north.
…………………………
Liu Rushi saw that the train had arrived at Baoji Mansion.
She reminded: "Husband, the train has arrived in Baoji, which is my husband's hometown.
Husband, do you want to stop the car and pay homage to your ancestors? "
Emperor Su He waved his hand and said: "There is no one I am familiar with in Sujia Village.
I worship my ancestors every year at the Ancestral Temple.
There is no need to go to Sujia Village, and I don’t want to disturb the peace there.
The train went to the Yellow Emperor Temple in Yan'an Prefecture, Shaanxi Province as planned. I paid homage to the Yellow Emperor. "
Emperor Su He issued an order that the train did not stop on the way and went directly to the railway station at the eastern foot of Qiaoshan Mountain in Yan'an, Shaanxi.
The Dahua Dynasty believed in ancestors, and the Yellow Emperor was one of the most famous ancestors. The Huangdi Temple has become a holy place.
Tens of thousands of people come to Huangdi Temple every month to worship their ancestors.
The imperial court specially expanded the scale of the Huangdi Temple to receive pilgrims from all over the world.
Emperor Su He's special train arrived at the train station. The crowd at the train station, which used to be bustling with people, had become thinner.
The Yellow Emperor Temple is about to hold a national sacrifice, and ordinary tourists have been evacuated.
Emperor Su He and the accompanying officials stepped off the train.
Prime Minister Wei Shiming introduced: "Your Majesty, Han Cuibai, Minister of Rites, is following the previously arranged plan.
He came to the Emperor's Temple in advance to prepare for the relevant etiquette of the national sacrifice.
Your Majesty can hold the national sacrifice whenever you want. The Yellow Emperor Temple has already prepared it. "
The cabinet has already made arrangements for a grand sacrificial event. Without advance preparation, there is no way to arrange it in a short time.
Han Cuibai, the Minister of Rites, brought a large number of people from the Ministry of Rites and had been waiting at the Huangdi Temple for a long time.
Wei Shiming received the telegram when he was in Hanzhong, and Han Cuibai, the Minister of Rites, was ready.
Emperor Su He thought for a moment and then ordered: "Then the national sacrifice will be officially held in three days.
The Huangdi Temple has been well prepared in the past few days.
Our kings and ministers are tired from the journey and need a few more days of rest.
He looked dusty and unsuitable for worshiping ancestors. "
Emperor Su He and his party entered the Yellow Emperor Temple to rest.
Han Cuibai, the Minister of Rites, asked to see Emperor Su He to inquire whether the sacrificial ceremony was in line with the emperor's wishes.
Following the emperor's instructions, he immediately made some minor adjustments to the sacrificial ceremony.
Jiang Fangding, the governor of Shaanxi, knew that Emperor Su He was coming to Shaanxi very early.
He learned the exact news that the emperor and his party had arrived at the Huangdi Temple.
Governor Jiang Fangding and the main officials of Shaanxi set off immediately and took a train to the Emperor's Temple.
He was received by Emperor Su He and reported on his political achievements in Shaanxi over the years.
Emperor Su He listened to Governor Jiang Guangding's report.
He took the train all the way and saw a lot of things in Shaanxi.
By comparing the small things with the big things, one can easily find out whether what Governor Jiang Fangding reported is true.
This governor, who had a background as a wine drinker in the Imperial College, had lost his impetuous spirit after being tempered by the local government.
This kind of clear-flow official, after being trained by the local government, can manage a party well, and he will definitely be reused in the future.
There are only those who talk eloquently and explain the truth very clearly.
He was actually allowed to govern one area, but he made the place very chaotic.
Such officials must not be reused and allowed to do idle work to provide for their retirement.
"Jiang Aiqing, along the way, I have seen a lot of green in Shaanxi, and it is no longer a yellow sandy land.
The green Shaanxi is very different from the yellow Shaanxi in my impression.
Shaanxi has achieved good results in afforestation.
You have done a very good job and achieved obvious results in the past few years. "
When Governor Jiang Fangding heard Emperor Su He's praise, he was not proud, but said with emotion:
“Your Majesty, this is due to the great immigration of the imperial court.
Shaanxi is not suitable for too many people to survive. The food grown here cannot feed a large population.
Now, as a large number of people have been immigrated, the contradiction between more people and less land has been completely resolved.
There is no need for the people to open up wasteland on sandy land.
The Shaanxi governor's office teamed up with agricultural experts to investigate the loess soil in various parts of Shaanxi.
Some places are suitable for growing shrubs, some are suitable for growing fruit trees, and some are suitable for growing medicinal herbs.
Our Shaanxi governor's office has adapted measures to local conditions and allowed farmers to grow cash crops. These farmers will soon be able to get rid of poverty and become rich.
The imperial court also strictly controlled food prices, which had not risen for four or five years.
Fruit pesticide farmers can obtain funds to support their families by selling fruit pesticides.
The greening process of the land in Shaanxi has also promoted the development of rabbit breeding industry. "
Emperor Su He heard Governor Jiang Fangding introduce the situation in Shaanxi, and he knew that this was a way to treat both the symptoms and the root cause.
Planting fruit trees and medicinal materials can achieve great economic benefits, food prices are low, and the domestic situation is stable, so who would destroy forests to grow rice.
…………………………
During dinner, Liu Rushi looked at the dishes with a special smell.
She asked: "Husband, what kind of dish is this? We haven't eaten it before."
Emperor Su He introduced: “This is spicy rabbit head and braised rabbit meat.
Two new delicacies appearing here in Shaanxi.
People here in Shaanxi plant fruit trees and scatter grass seeds in the fruit trees to prevent water loss in the fruit trees.
A large amount of grass was produced, and grass was also a resource. The cost of raising cattle and sheep was too high, so people here in Shaanxi began to raise rabbits in large numbers.
Rabbits only need to eat grass and reproduce quickly.
With a large number of rabbits appearing on the market, naturally there are chefs studying how to make them delicious.
These two dishes have become staples here.
The technology of raising and cooking rabbits spread to other places at an extremely fast rate.
I heard that Shu merchants like it very much, and they are preparing to introduce rabbit raising technology to Sichuan and Chongqing areas."
Liu Rushi looked at the dishes on the table and thought to herself: "Rabbit is so cute, I really want to eat rabbit."
She saw that Emperor Su He was eating deliciously and gave her a piece of meat.
Liu Rushi tried to take a bite. The rabbit meat was really sweet and delicious.
They quickly finished their meal, bathed and changed clothes, preparing to participate in the national ceremony tomorrow.
…………………………
4338 (AD 1641), July 22nd.
Emperor Su He wore a dragon robe, a gold crown on his head, and the Emperor's Sword at his waist.
He led Prime Minister Wei Shiming and other officials to worship the Yellow Emperor.
Han Cuibai, Minister of Rites, presided over the entire sacrificial ceremony.
According to the requirements of Emperor Su He, the sacrificial etiquette should be simple and the ceremony should be solemn.
Han Cuibai, the Minister of Rites, originally designed more than a dozen rituals. After hearing Emperor Su He's request, he immediately streamlined all the rituals that could be simplified.
At 8:50 in the morning, with the sun hanging high above the bridge mountain, the ceremony to worship the Yellow Emperor officially began.
Chimes and drums sounded, and then the band of the Ministry of Rites played solemn music.
Emperor Su He led the civil and military officials to the Yellow Emperor Temple step by step along the steps to the beat of drums.
Han Cuibai, the Minister of Rites, took out the sacrificial inscriptions for the Yellow Emperor.
He recited the memorial in a loud voice, and behind him were students, doctors, workers and other representatives from all walks of life, who followed him in reciting the memorial in unison.
Emperor Su He walked to the Yellow Emperor's Temple and received the lit incense from Han Cuibai, the Minister of Rites.
He held the incense in front of his chest with both hands and bowed to the statue of the Yellow Emperor.
"I started from a humble beginning, overthrew the corrupt Ming Dynasty, wiped out the nomadic forces such as the Mongolian Jurchens, and established a new dynasty.
Bing Ming ancestors, protect China. "
He said in his heart: "I am worthy of coming to the late Ming Dynasty to overthrow the decadent Ming Dynasty and destroy the Tatars.
To prevent China from being invaded by the barbarians, tens of millions of Han people were massacred. "
Emperor Su He bowed to the second statue of the Yellow Emperor.
“The Dahua Dynasty was rich in agriculture, strong in industry, and prosperous in commerce.
All the young and old are provided with care, and the sick and disabled are provided with medical care.
Scholars, farmers, industry and merchants each performed their duties.
Bing Ming ancestors, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. "
He said in his heart: "I will vigorously develop industry and navigation. China will never miss the age of great navigation and lead to national ruin."
Emperor Su He bowed three times to the statue of Yellow Emperor.
"The Great Hua Dynasty has a strong military force, the barbarians have surrendered, and the Chinese ancestors have conquered the land, but I have not lost an inch.
Eastern Japan, Jiaozhi, Nanyang, Siam, Myanmar, Eastern India and other regions all seek inclusion.
There are also vassal states guarding them in Africa, America and other places.
I report to my ancestors that the Great China Dynasty has officially changed its name to the Great China Empire. "
He said in his heart: "I will make the Great China Empire an empire on which the sun never sets, and the dragon flag will be planted all over the world."
After Emperor Su Hesan bowed, he put the burning incense in his hand into the bronze tripod in front of the Yellow Emperor's statue.
The exciting music sounded, and the national memorial ceremony came to an end.
Prime Minister Wei Shiming said excitedly: "Your Majesty's achievements surpass those of Emperor Qin, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Tang Zong.
The First Emperor changed his name from king to emperor, and His Majesty changed his dynasty to empire.
This is the blessing of our ancestors and the aspiration of the people.
Long live your Majesty, long live the Great China Empire. "
When Prime Minister Wei Shiming finished speaking, he immediately knelt down and shouted long live.
Other officials and people who participated in the national ceremony saw Prime Minister Wei Shiming kneeling down and shouting long live.
They also knelt on the ground with Wei Shiming and shouted long live.
"Long live your Majesty, long live the Great China Empire."
Emperor Su He saw officials and people kneeling together, he stretched out his hand and said: "My dear friends, we are as equal as the people.
I will lead the Great China Empire to become the greatest empire in the world. "
After the sacrifice was over, the new name of the Dahua Empire was immediately spread to all parts of the country along with telegrams.
A large number of newspaper reports made the people aware of the change in the name of the Great China Dynasty.
The people of the Great China Dynasty have become accustomed to various changes.
Many people are confused and don’t know what the change in the country’s name means.
A smart man who is well-read and knows something about overseas countries.
They believed that the emperor changed the name of the country to make some external changes.
They immediately took action and prepared to fight for the interests of their family.
Later generations read the history books and realized that the change of the country's name marked the completion of the recuperation of the Great China Empire.
It gradually makes its own voice in the world.
It is like a sleeping dragon being awakened, making all overseas countries realize the strength of the Great China Empire.
