Kunning Palace.
Xu Miaojin looked at Zhu Yunwen who was holding the child complainingly, and said: "The Imperial College students are also students of the Ming Dynasty, why not let the Imperial College participate?"
When Zhu Yunwen saw that Zhu Wenkui had fallen asleep, he handed it over to Ma Enhui, who was beside him, and said in a low voice: "I thought you were deaf to what was going on outside the window and only read the books of sages. If the supervisor hadn't come to find you, wouldn't you have been preparing for the Lantern Festival?" Entering the palace?"
For the first time, Xu Miaojin felt that the news was blocked, which was a sad thing.
Without him, the students of the Imperial College respect themselves and know that they are useful, but the people of the Xu family don't think so.
Xu Huizu, as the first person in the Fifth Army Governor's Office, presided over the compilation of the national flag, national emblem, and national anthem in the Fifth Army Governor's Office. I heard that many nobles were invited to the door, but no one informed him!
If the prison guards hadn't come to the door, I would still be in the dark.
"The supervisor notified me, indicating that I can still hear what's going on outside the window. Besides, it's only a day apart, and the Imperial College may not lag behind the cabinet, the Fifth Military Governor's Office, and the Six Central Ministries."
Xu Miaojin knows the value and significance of participating in the work on the Ming Dynasty’s flag, national emblem, and national anthem. She also knows that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss the opportunity, you will never give it up no matter what.
Zhu Yunwen also had some difficulties.
The direct superior of the Imperial College was the Ministry of Rites, but now the Ministry of Rites ignored the Imperial College and instead turned to partner with officials from the other five ministries. The six ministries of personnel participated together, and the number and strength were already saturated. The Ministry of Rites probably would not consider the graduates of the Imperial College to participate.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Shuangxi ran in, with brisk steps and an excited face.
"Keep your voice down!"
Ma Enhui glared at Shuangxi fiercely, looked down at the child, but fortunately did not wake up.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Shuangxi and asked, "What's the matter?"
Shuangxi smiled with a smile on his face. After seeing the ceremony, he said: "Your Majesty, Queen, it's a great event. News came from outside that people from the capital gathered in Zhongzheng Street, Mafu Street, Xi'anmenwai Street, West 18th Street and other places to petition for participation. Among the three major national affairs, I am willing to contribute a small amount to the national flag, national emblem, and national anthem. Especially the cloth shop, dyeing workshop, craftsman workshop, uh, even the girl from Cuiyan Tower plans to sing for the country..."
"presumptuous!"
Ma Enhui stamped her feet with a cold look on her face, which made Shuangxi kneel down in fear.
"How can prostitutes be allowed to participate in the three major national affairs of the country, the national flag, the national emblem, and the national anthem? If future generations know about it, how will the Ming Dynasty stand in the world? Wouldn't it be a disgrace? These people should be beaten!"
Ma Enhui said dissatisfied.
Xu Miaojin nodded repeatedly. He had no chance to participate. How could a group of showboating guys want to get involved in state affairs?
Zhu Yunwen comforted Ma Enhui and said with a smile: "In my opinion, this is a good thing. Whether they are businessmen, farmers, or prostitutes, apart from their identities, they are all We are the people of the Ming Dynasty. Although I have the final say in the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty, whether it can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and recognized by all the people still requires the people of the Ming Dynasty to have the final say!"
"Since the people support us and want to do our best, why should we, the royal family, care about our status? Let me say that all people should participate in state affairs. Shuangxi, tell Xie Jin, Xu Huizu, and Chen Di to inform the citizens of the capital, no, it is The two capitals and thirteen provinces, prefectures and counties across the country are asked to come up with their own plans, which will be sent to the capital by three envoys in September this year."
"As for the final plan, it will be handed over to the imperial court for decision. Three ministers from various places will participate in the discussion at the same time, and strive to determine the final plan in October. It should be spread throughout the country on National Day next year."
Shuangxi quickly agreed and left in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, wouldn't this increase the cost a lot?"
Ma Enhui was a little worried.
Zhu Yunwen pulled Ma Enhui to sit down and said softly: "Consumption is a small thing, but the Queen should also see that only the participation of all people can unite the hearts of the people. The aspirations of the people are much more valuable than gold and silver."
"Brother Emperor, can our Imperial College also participate?"
Xu Miaojin asked quickly.
Zhu Yunwen nodded affirmatively and said: "The Imperial College will naturally be involved, but Sister Xu, if you can't find any problems with the Imperial College after this incident, forget about the women's school."
Xu Miaojin smiled, stood up and said, "Why wait until October? I can finish it in February."
"Haha, Queen, you see, Miaojin is still very talented."
Zhu Yunwen smiled happily.
Ma Enhui nodded with a smile and praised: "Miaojin certainly has Miaojin, and I also hope that Miaojin can be the icing on the cake for the Ming Dynasty."
Xu Miaojin saluted Yingying and said: "I will fulfill my mission. So, are you resigning?"
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and said: "Go, you won't want to stay for dinner. Tell the supervisors at the Imperial College that I want to see their results."
"Thank you, Brother Emperor, Sister Queen, Miaojin is gone."
Xu Miaojin left Kunning Palace with joy.
Ma Enhui shook her head slightly, looked at Zhu Yunwen who had picked up "Tokyo Menghua Lu", and asked: "The emperor is very concerned about the former Song Dynasty. Is he thinking about the bad government of the former Song Dynasty?"
Zhu Yunwen flipped through "Tokyo Menghua Lu", which recorded the prosperous scene of the former Song Dynasty, and said softly: "Queen, listen to this sentence: He is staying at the hotel, and he drinks at Jianjiao shop three or two times. , so I dared to borrow two to five hundred taels of silverware. Even when a poor family went to the shop to drink wine, they also used silverware as gifts. What does the queen think?"
Ma Enhui thought: "The former Song Dynasty was so rich and prosperous that they dared to lend out two to five hundred taels of silver at every turn. This would be rare in our dynasty. But Your Majesty, although the former Song Dynasty was wealthy, no one knew about the suffering of the people. . According to my concubine's review of "History of the Song Dynasty" and other books, I found that for more than 300 years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, farmers have almost never stopped revolting. Counting in detail, there have been more than 400 large and small violations."
"If the emperor wants to seek the wealth of the former Song Dynasty, but the people will suffer from water and fire, then even if the Ming Dynasty has a prosperous age, it will be a prosperous age of the royal family and aristocrats, not a prosperous age of the Ming Dynasty, not a prosperous age of all people. I sincerely request the emperor, do not exploit the people for wealth. , the strategy you take must be done with caution.”
Zhu Yunwen put "Tokyo Menghua Lu" aside, looked at Ma Enhui, and said seriously: "If I can get money without hurting the people, will the queen not object to lifting the ban on merchants and make suggestions from time to time?"
Ma Enhui was horrified, knelt down quickly and said, "I made a mistake, please forgive me."
The harem must not interfere with politics. This is an iron rule set by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Although Zhu Yunwen didn't care about this and often discussed state affairs with Ma Enhui, Ma Enhui knew that it was taboo to interfere in politics in the harem.
However, whenever Zhu Yunwen needed her, she could not refuse Zhu Yunwen, nor did she want to refuse herself. Time and time again, she gradually formed a habit.
If Zhu Yunwen asked, she would participate and give some opinions.
If Zhu Yunwen didn't ask, he would concentrate on the harem and never take the initiative to talk about state affairs.
Zhu Yunwen sighed, stepped forward to help Ma Enhui up, and said, "I don't blame you. There are some things that I can't tell clearly. You are the closest person to me. If I can't even convince you, how can I convince all the officials?" ?”
"It's not easy for the emperor to convince his concubine."
Ma Enhui had lingering fears, but insisted that it was not feasible to lift the ban on merchants.
Zhu Yunwen smiled slightly, with determination in his eyes, and said: "Isn't it easy? I don't think so. Queen, how is the progress of the medical gauze? How about we go take a look?"
