"Your Majesty wants to reestablish the unification of the Ming Dynasty?"
Sun Chengzong was a little stunned. He never thought that the emperor would ask about the unification of the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, the Great Unification of the Ming Dynasty is the general geographical annals compiled by the officials of the Ming Dynasty. It was compiled by Wei Junmin, Huang Chi and others in the third year of Hongwu according to the style of the Unification of the Great Yuan Dynasty.
The book was completed in the seventh year of Jingtai, and was revised by Li Xian, Peng Shi and others. In April of the fifth year of Tianshun, Emperor Yingzong gave it the title "Unification of the Ming Dynasty".
It was re-revised during the Hongzhi and Wanli years, and the content related to the construction of the Jiajing and Longqing dynasties was added. It has not been revised for at least 40 to 50 years. "
"Your Majesty, due to the rushed compilation time and the large number of participants, the book also had defects such as geographical misplacement, pretentiousness, and non-existence.
I have also read through it several times. There are very few major political codes such as household registration, land tax, official system, etc. contained in it, and there are many errors.
If you ask the minister to evaluate, he will give eight words: wrong and wrong, especially short and wrong. "
Listening to Yuan Keli's honest evaluation, Chongzhen's face became a little hot. After all, the work done by his ancestors was too rough.
"Your Majesty, it is a good thing to re-unify the Ming Dynasty, but it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. Is it too hasty now?"
"Your Majesty, the Mongolian tribes have not yet been settled, the slave establishment has not been overthrown, and the Hao Mirror has not been returned, the Ming Dynasty cannot be considered a great unification. Since it is not a great unification, it is a waste to build the Ming Dynasty unification now."
"My dear friends, the situation is too small!"
He smiled again: "Not only Mongolia and Jiannu, but also Korea, Fusang, Siam, and the Western Regions. Maybe they will become the Korean Province, Siam Province, and Western Region Province of the Ming Dynasty in the future.
Either we don’t cultivate, or if we want to cultivate, we can do it all at once. "
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
The two of them laughed and breathed a sigh of relief after listening to the emperor's words.
They were really afraid that the emperor would be proud and complacent because of these achievements, and would be busy revising books when the dynasty was at its peak.
And missed the opportunity to conquer the Jiannu and Mongolian tribes.
"Counties, prefectures, and provinces all have local chronicles. I'm wondering if the imperial court can publish a book similar to local chronicles, called [Daming Internal Reference]. As the name suggests, it is an internal reference and is updated once a month."
"Update once a month?"
"Da Ming internal reference?"
The two of them accurately grasped the key points of the emperor's words. Sun Chengzong said softly: "Your Majesty, forgive me for being stupid. What is the difference between this and the Ming Dynasty Daily?"
“The front page of Daming Daily contains various decisions of the imperial court, etc., and the rest of the pages contain content from each province.
Such as political affairs, anecdotes, business, etc., only circulate within the own province, prefecture, and county.
The Daming Internal Reference I am talking about now is a highly professional book that is circulated in various provinces and counties. It is positioned as a pillow book for officials at all levels and practitioners in various industries. It contains countless experiences and business opportunities. "
It was okay if he didn't explain it, but once he explained it, the two of them became more confused. Where did the experience and business opportunities in the book come from?
Looking at the confused looks in their eyes, Chongzhen knew that famous officials like Yuan Keli and Sun Chengzong had limitations in their thinking and vision.
He can only guide: "This is something to prepare for a rainy day. After three to five years, the goals of our first five-year plan will be completed.
After pushing down the Jiannu and Mongolian tribes, the Ming Dynasty will enter a relatively peaceful state.
The foreign enemies, military and political affairs have been rectified, and the next focus is to improve the living standards of the people, mainly in terms of clothing, food, housing, and transportation.
To accomplish this, a large amount of money is needed, and the economy must be vigorously developed. Where does the money come from, whether information is exchanged, etc.
The Ming Dynasty Internal Reference mainly records the successful cases of provinces, prefectures and counties that seek benefits for the people and do practical things. It analyzes, improves and makes suggestions from the perspective of the imperial court, providing reference for other places to do similar things.
Including the development of various industries, education experience of various universities, experience of various project construction, research results of various industries, etc.
Only by sharing experience can we achieve rapid development in a short period of time and save manpower, material and financial resources. Building things behind closed doors will not work.
Let me give you an example. How long did it take for the wind turbine thrust water tanker invented by Wang Zheng in Xi'an to spread from Xi'an to the entire Ming Dynasty? One year, three years, five years?
Maybe it can only be spread in Shaanxi, or even within a certain government. Isn't this a waste?
How much food will be lost throughout the Ming Dynasty in one year? How much value have been created by fewer people?
If we have the book [Internal Reference of the Ming Dynasty], it will be published once a month. When the renovation of the Daming Station is completed, relying on the station, it will be spread throughout the Ming Dynasty in two or three months.
Soldiers who have won the Sun and Moon Medal and the Star Medal at the same time can also be printed on it. It can be regarded as a magazine that supplements the imperial court level! "
hiss……
The shock in the eyes of the two people was that the emperor was thinking too far ahead.
If this Ming Dynasty Internal Reference can be completed, coupled with the Ming Dynasty Daily, it will really be possible to know the world without leaving home.
This book will definitely become a must-have on every business desk, because it may contain unlimited business opportunities.
Moreover, the emperor's explanation revealed a lot of information, such as academic education.
During the discussion of the first five-year plan, they had speculated that the emperor might reform the schools. Combined with the punishments imposed by Daming Daily and Longjingguan Imperial College, it seemed that the emperor's suppression of the Confucius family could be explained.
"Your Majesty has foresight and foresight, and I admire you all!"
Sun Chengzong sighed: "Your Majesty, what should I do?"
"This is just a plan and cannot be implemented yet. You should think about it first, make plans and prototypes, and find suitable talents. None of this can be completed in one day.
I hope that one day when the time is right, I can start moving with just one command! Do you two understand? "
"Your Majesty is still young and has already done very well. Looking at the past emperors, there are very few emperors who can do this at your time. There are still several decades to come..."
"Don't waste your good time waiting!
I can wait, but thousands of people can't afford to wait. If it can be a day earlier, it will be a day earlier, but it will have to be hard work for both of you! "
"Your Majesty's words put me to shame. I am so stupid that I failed to share your Majesty's worries!"
Yuan Keli and Sun Chengzong were greatly shocked when they heard Chongzhen's words.
"Okay, we monarch and minister don't have to be so polite. It's almost noon. Come and have lunch with me!"
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he looked at Wang Chengen: "My dear companion, tell the imperial kitchen to cook some more dishes and send them to the imperial garden!"
"My dear friends, let's go sit in the imperial garden and get some fresh air!"
The two of them immediately saluted and followed Chongzhen.
Just as he left the gate of Wuying Palace, he saw Li Ruolian running over from a distance.
Looking at Li Ruolian with a solemn expression, Chongzhen sighed and turned to look at Yuan Keli and the two of them: "Something has happened again. You two dears, please wait!"
While he was talking, Li Ruolian arrived and immediately saluted Chongzhen.
"Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guards have sent back a secret report from Shaoxing Mansion."
"Shaoxing Mansion?"
Chongzhen was a little surprised, but then he reacted and his face instantly became serious.
"Send it up!"
