The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 265 These days, who still dare to rebel?

Perhaps for people in Daming today, Zhu Ying is really kind.

Zhu Yuanzhang discovered this.

In many memorials reviewed, Zhu Ying's punishment for officials, or the punishment for criminals in some cases, is really very light compared to Daming's current punishment.

Prior to this, Zhu Yuanzhang also received Dasun's handling of the crime of exile.

As we all know, exile and the death penalty are almost linked.

Nine out of ten exiles died, this is a known fact.

Even many people would rather be executed than exiled.

And Zhu Ying has mentioned before that for the criminals who are ordered to be exiled, the restrictions on shackles and shackles should be lifted, and even the yamen servants who are required to be escorted into exile must protect the life of the exiled sinners to the greatest extent.

This seems incredible to many people.

In fact, Zhu Ying's idea is very simple.

The current population of Daming is really too small.

With a population of more than 6000 million, it cannot even match the population of a province in later generations.

The population of the top five provinces in later generations, even the fifth-ranked Jiangsu Province, has exceeded 8000 million people.

Guangdong Province, the largest province, has a permanent population of 1000 million.

Compared with later generations, plus the hidden population, today's Daming is at most the size of Hunan Province.

In particular, those who can enjoy the crime of exile are generally scholars in Ming Dynasty, and at least they are scholars.

Ordinary people rarely receive the treatment of exile, and are basically executed directly, so as to save food and labor on the road.

But for Zhu Ying now, even if he committed a crime, he was still a scholar, and he had to use it endlessly.

Besides, these days, there are not a few people who have been exiled and wronged.

It can be said that some of them were directly framed because they offended others.

Daming Palace, in Kunning Palace.

Zhu Ying is starting to plan for the imperial examination.

If you want to take the road of industrialization, you can't get it done with just one sentence. It requires a lot of talent reserves.

Today's gifted scholars who pass the imperial examination, or students who study, all learn the way of Confucianism, and cannot directly enter the actual applied knowledge.

Especially the agricultural school, even if it was opened in Daming, now there are two or three cats, big and small, in addition to Zhu Wei.

Looking at the development of agricultural technology in ancient and modern times, from the Qin Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty today, this speed can be said to be very slow.

Occasionally, a few geniuses can quickly raise the level of agricultural technology by a large margin.

What Zhu Ying has to do now is to quickly improve Daming's agricultural technology.

You know, from the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, the entire Ming Dynasty was in the Little Ice Age, especially the end of the Ming Dynasty, which was the peak of the Little Ice Age.

In this regard, Zhu Ying must be fully prepared.

With Zhu Ying's Ming Dynasty, how could Guozuo be less than 300 years old.

Zhu Ying is on the side of the main hall and there in the apse.

Zhu Mingyue and Zhu Yunxi were chatting.

"Brother, do you think that elder brother has been too busy recently, so he has forgotten about us?"

Zhu Mingyue sat on the swing, shaking it boredly, and then asked Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi is currently doing woodcarving with a carving knife.

He has always been fond of woodcarving.

Some time ago, with the permission of his eldest brother, he stayed in the gunpowder department for a long time, learning from the carpenter every day.

Thinking of those days, Zhu Yunxi felt very happy. It was the first time he did what he liked without worrying about being blamed.

What is carved in his hand now is the trigger mechanism related to the matchlock gun.

"Sister, why do you say that, brother is going to the morning court now, and there are so many things to deal with, so he is naturally very busy."

"It's like, just like the father and king back then, look at every night, until the early morning, the big brother's bedroom never turns off the lights."

"Before dawn in the morning, candles were already lit in Big Brother's study."

"Of course it's very busy."

Zhu Yunxi replied casually.

"However, elder brother agreed to help me find someone to marry. On the day of Qiqiao Festival, he agreed to take me out together. As a result, in the afternoon, elder brother went directly to Henan."

"Of course, it's about the plague, so it's much more important than mine, but my brother has been back for more than a month now, and he hasn't mentioned it anymore."

"Although no one from Auntie has talked about it now, I can't just wait like this forever."

Zhu Mingyue said helplessly.

Because of the elder brother's relationship, it is naturally impossible for the Lu family to be the master of Zhu Mingyue's marriage, so this matter falls to Zhu Ying.

The eldest brother is like a father, Zhu Ying does not speak, no one dares to mention Zhu Mingyue's marriage.

As a woman, how can Zhu Mingyue not care about lifelong events such as getting married.

So now I am a little anxious.

Hearing her sister's words, Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "It's not good if no one cares about it. Could it be my sister, you are thinking of spring!"

"Well, you Yunxi, you dare to laugh at me, see if I don't hit you."

Zhu Mingyue heard her younger brother teasing herself, got off the swing, broke a willow branch, and was about to chase Zhu Yunxi.

Seeing her sister chasing after her, Zhu Yunxi smiled even more happily, got up and ran.

The two kids just started fighting in the yard.

"What are you playing, so happy."

Suddenly Zhu Ying's voice sounded in the yard.

"Big brother."

"Big brother."

Seeing the appearance of the eldest brother, the two stopped quickly, especially Zhu Mingyue, who was even more taken aback.

As a woman, chasing after her like this is considered disrespectful, and her little face turned pale.

Zhu Ying said with a smile: "Why, we are all a family, there is no need to be so polite."

Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi became more courageous and said, "Brother, you don't know why my sister chased me and beat me, she's thinking of spring."

"How dare you say it!" Zhu Mingyue became furious all of a sudden, even Zhu Ying couldn't help it in front of her, her cheeks were flushed.

"Oh!"

It was only then that Zhu Ying remembered that it seemed that there was indeed one thing, that he had put his sister as a pigeon.

Slightly pondering, Zhu Ying said: "About Mingyue, it is true that my elder brother was negligent, but now there is still time to make amends."

"Guo Zhong."

"The servant is here."

"Pass down the decree of this palace to call Geng Xuan, the eldest son of Marquis of Changxing, to enter the palace immediately to see this king."

"The servant obeys the order."

Guo Zhong, who received the order, immediately went down to deliver the order.

Zhu Ying said with a smile: "Well, Mingyue is satisfied now, big brother will bring him to Kunning Palace later, let our family Mingyue take a good look at what it looks like."

"If we can satisfy our Mingyue, then we will be the son-in-law in the future."

Facing her future husband who might be her, Zhu Mingyue couldn't help but blushed, she lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Brother decides everything."

Zhu Ying smiled and said: "Mingyue, don't worry, big brother will never let you suffer. If you don't like it, just say it. You are the eldest granddaughter of our Zhu family. You must be satisfied."

After speaking to Zhu Mingyue, Zhu Ying's eyes were on Zhu Yunxi again.

I saw that although Zhu Yunxi was running out of breath, he kept holding the carving knife and wood tightly in his hands.

"This is the trigger of the matchlock."

Zhu Ying recognized it immediately.

"Brother, this is exactly the trigger of the matchlock gun. Recently, the gunpowder department has been discussing the most about the modification of the matchlock gun."

"I carved this trigger just to see if there is anything that can be improved about this trigger."

Zhu Yunxi replied.

Zhu Ying nodded slightly, and after thinking for a while, said: "Carpenters are very important not only in matchlock guns, but also in agriculture, commerce, casting, water conservancy and other aspects."

When Zhu Ying, a talented student, was preparing to disseminate knowledge about various industries, she suddenly found that one thing was missing, that is, textbooks.

The original idea was to go to the Hanlin Academy to prepare these textbooks.

Then I learned from Li Weiliang that Zhu Ying's idea was wrong, because in the Imperial Academy, no one knew about these aspects at all.

In the eyes of the academicians of the Hanlin Academy, everything is low-grade, and only reading is high.

This book does not refer to all books, but only Confucianism.

Looking at the nearly 300 years of the Ming Dynasty, the most famous encyclopedia is "Tiangong Kaiwu".

So Zhu Ying realized that if he wanted to truly reserve industrial talents, the first step was to get out the book "Heavenly Creation of Things" in advance.

Tiangong Kaiwu was originally written by Song Yingxing, a famous scientist in the Ming Dynasty, in the late Ming Dynasty, when Chongzhen was ten years old.

The book includes agriculture and handicrafts, such as machinery, bricks and tiles, ceramics, sulfur, candles, paper, weapons, gunpowder, textiles, dyeing, salt making, coal mining, oil extraction and other production technologies.

It is also the world's first comprehensive work on agriculture and handicraft production.

This book, after it was written in the past, spread to Japan, Central Asia, and Europe. Even at the low speed of ancient information dissemination, it was a bestseller all over the world.

However, the Qing Dynasty did not pay much attention to it. Such an important work was not even included in the catalog of the Siku Quanshu, and it was largely suppressed.

Thinking of this, Zhu Ying continued: "I'm going to gather a group of insightful people to compile a book about Ming Dynasty and all walks of life."

"Including the production method of snowflake salt, sugar, wine making, carpentry, blacksmithing, tailoring, etc., all knowledge related to people's livelihood is included in it."

"I don't know about Yunxi, but I'm interested in it."

As the eldest brother, Zhu Ying still takes good care of Yunxi, his younger brother.

Naturally, it is impossible for Zhu Ying to do this matter personally, because there are too many aspects involved, and it will involve a lot of energy.

And this matter is not a particularly difficult thing to say, after all, it is a collection, not an invention.

But once this matter is done, it must be immortalized through the ages.

The so-called fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders. When he came to the apse this time, Zhu Ying wanted his younger brother Zhu Yunxi to preside over the matter.

Zhu Yunxi immediately became excited when he heard the words.

With a few simple words, let Zhu Yunxi know that this classic book is absolutely very important to the entire Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Zhu Yunxi would never have thought of such things as being immortal.

For a boy his age, what he wants most is attention and recognition.

The elder brother was able to entrust him with such an important matter, obviously in the elder brother's heart, he was still very capable.

This aspect alone made Zhu Yunxi feel that he was taken seriously, and he was very happy.

However, he still asked with some concern: "Brother, I'm afraid I can't handle such an important matter."

Zhu Ying said with a smile: "Of course you are not asked to do it alone. This matter cannot be done by just a few people. Brother, here, at least dozens of people will be prepared for you to help."

"But brother, let me tell you clearly. It is easier to know than to do. This matter seems simple, but when it is done, it encounters many difficulties."

"First of all, with regard to all aspects of technology, it needs to be verified before it can be included in the book. This is unavoidable. You need to travel around in various places."

"Don't be in a hurry to be happy."

Zhu Ying said helplessly.

In the words just now, Zhu Yunxi's eyes lit up just because he said that he was leaving the palace.

For the princes and grandchildren who have lived in the palace since they were young, going out to play is their biggest hobby on weekdays.

Hearing what his elder brother said, Zhu Yunxi seemed to be able to play around in the whole of Daming, and he was immediately excited.

"Perhaps at the beginning, you will have great enthusiasm for this matter, but I want to tell you that this matter itself will encounter many problems, and it will not be as easy as you think."

"Not to mention anything else, just to understand, to watch these processes with your own eyes, a simple experiment, it may take three to five years, not to mention some aspects, you need repeated tests to understand the truth."

Hearing the elder brother's words, hearing that he can go everywhere, Zhu Yunxi, who has been on the top for a long time, doesn't care so much.

Naturally, he nodded frequently: "Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely not let big brother down."

At this point, Zhu Ying didn't continue to preach.

Some things can only be understood by experience.

"Since you think there is a problem, then go ahead and do it. In the near future, these big brothers will help you set it up, so you can go and get acquainted with it first."

"After half a month, after the first day of October, you can start again."

Zhu Ying arranged.

After all, the first day of October is the day of his canonization, and the creation of the encyclopedia will be the first decree of the East Palace after he accepts the canonization.

Just when Zhu Ying was about to continue chatting with the two children.

Liu He, the eunuch in charge of the chief inspector of ceremonies, and the personal eunuch beside Zhu Yuanzhang hurried over.

"Your Highness, His Majesty ordered you to come to the Huagai Hall to discuss political affairs as soon as possible."

The word 'speed' made Zhu Ying frowned slightly.

On weekdays, the old man let himself pass, but he never used the word 'speed'.

Then he asked: "Eunuch Liu knows what happened to Grandpa."

Liu He didn't hesitate, and said frankly: "Listen, old slave, it's Shaanxi, and someone has rebelled."

Zhu Ying was a little dazed. During the Hongwu period, there were still people who dared to rebel?
