Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 74 Yongle Gold List, Purple Gold Stele

Yongle Gold List
In the autumn of the 13th year of Yongle, the emperor released the gold list, erected a purple gold stele, sought out talented people from all over the world, improved agriculture and mulberry, and refined equipment.

Those who won the Yongle Medal are engraved on the purple gold stone tablet, and the archway of merit is given, which has been passed down through the ages.

As soon as the incident came out, it immediately spread to the whole country. All the people and farmers were surprised by the court's approach. This gave them a way to face the loess and turn their backs to the sky all their lives. The way to leave a name in the history.

Sealed Wolf Juxu, first climbed to capture the flag, braved the three armies, left a name in history, national pillar, and inscribed on the golden list.

Who can refuse these things, but ordinary people will never have the opportunity to do these things in their entire lives. The title of the golden list and the championship and the three armies are beyond their reach.

But now the emperor tells you that as long as you improve farming and refined equipment, you can make a name for yourself in history, engrave your name on the purple gold stone tablet, and give the archway of merit and virtue, and honor your ancestors from now on.

If your name is written on the genealogy, you have to bold it, and introduce your achievements on a separate page. Who can bear this.

And this matter basically only belongs to peasants and workers. How many officials of your court know how to farm the land, and a few know which areas should be improved.

At the same time, the imperial court also stipulated that officials at all levels in Yamenfu and counties in various places would be dismissed and beheaded if they dared to impersonate them.

This is also to find a way to prevent officials from appropriating the inventions and creations of the following people for themselves.

You don't rob anything, you just push the people below to invent and create. If you win the award, you will get points. If you don't get the award, it's okay, but if you dare to rob, you will be beheaded.

It is better to have no merit than to have deeds. It is impossible for the vast majority of officials to take the risk of beheading to grab the merits of the people.

Of course, the issuance of this imperial order is not so simple. Natsuhara Yoshi of the Ministry of Housing opposed it. The reason for worrying is the same. He is afraid that the people will give up farming in order to get the reward.

But Zhu Zhanchang's reason was that to improve agricultural tools, he had to be interviewed in the farmland, and only those who succeeded in the trial could win the prize. Instead, he encouraged some people to open up wasteland and experiment with fields.

After weighing all the pros and cons, Zhu Di finally decided to do it, rewarding him with his name rather than a lot of money.

The people in the prefectures and counties got the news, and the most excited are all kinds of craftsmen. After all, it takes a certain amount of hands-on ability to transform tools. For craftsmen who make a living by making tools, this is simply a big stuffing in the sky. cake.

Going to the fields and mountains, ask the farmers where their current tools need to be improved, and which agricultural links need to develop new tools. There will always be some whimsical ideas that will be inspired between the collision of ideas.

The farmers themselves are not good at mechanics, so they don't pay attention to this gold list at all.

It has been the same in all dynasties. What the court pays attention to, the people will develop. Even just a hobby of the emperor can develop a huge industry.

For example, in history, Zhu Zhanji loved to play with crickets. When he was the emperor, the ministers were very good at this. The crickets were classified into different categories, and the price was constantly rising, and even more valuable.

It will take a while for the reward to get a response. Zhu Zhanchang believes that these skilled craftsmen will continue to emerge. At that time, he will be able to gather these people together to form a research institute, and let all people with ideas in this era join in. , to continuous improvement, continuous invention and creation.

As Zhu Zhanchang who came up with this method, Zhu Di praised him a lot, but there was no substantial reward, which was not given by the fat father Zhu Gaochi.

I was afraid that Zhu Zhanji felt that this younger brother was too favored now, and he felt resentment.

It is also very distressing that the two sons of being a father are so good.

Zhu Gaochi called Zhu Zhanchang alone.

"Zhanchang, this time Your Majesty didn't reward you with anything, do you feel uncomfortable?"

"No." Zhu Zhanchang answered indifferently.

But Zhu Gaochi didn't care if he didn't believe him, so he sighed and said, "You child, just say something to your father."

"Really not." Zhu Zhanchang really doesn't care about money very much. There is nothing to buy in this era, and there is no place to charge games. Of course, it's okay if you can give me a beautiful woman from the Western Regions.

"Tell me what reward you want, and I will reward you personally."

"Father, do you have a princess from the Western Regions here?"

Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes at him: "Don't use these nonsense words to prevaricate me."

"I know you have grievances in your heart. Our Prince's Mansion is not like your second uncle's place to grab a handful of golden beans. Your mother told me that you hope that your fief will either be in Guangzhou Prefecture or Lanzhou Prefecture in the future, right?"

Zhu Zhanchang nodded.

"Where would you most like to go?"

"Guangzhou Prefecture."

"This matter is recorded, and I will arrange it."

"Thank you father."

Zhu Zhanchang came out of Zhu Gaochi's study. Zhu Gaochi was afraid that Zhu Zhanchang would be wronged, so he tried to make up for him. At least the fief's affairs were as good as he wanted.

That afternoon, Zhu Gaochi, Xia Yuanji and Lu Zhen, Minister of Rites, discussed matters, mainly on the Yongle Gold List. Xia Yuanji was still very worried about farming, and lamented again and again, for fear that the farmers would not do farming and waste fertile fields.

"Xia Shangshu, things have been implemented, and when the results come out, there is still a certain threshold. There is still a certain threshold for improving agricultural mulberry and refining equipment. Ordinary farmers should not do it rashly and do not need to worry too much." Opened up a sentence.

"But, hey..." Xia Yuanji didn't say more, and it was useless to say more, after all, the emperor had already made the final decision.

"I'm looking for the two of you. It's not just because of this. Your Majesty wants a military parade in the imperial city. You two also know that. Help from the side, Lu Shangshu, if Zhanchang is young, if there is something wrong at that time, I will be more generous."

"His Royal Highness is serious. I have heard that the Fifth Highness is smart, and it is very good to have the help of the Fifth Highness."

"His temperament is a little bit off-kilter. If there is anything naughty, remember to let me know."

"Your Majesty's military parade in the imperial city, the majesty of the emperor, the minister will definitely cooperate with the fifth highness."

Lu Zhen is a capable person, but he is also criticized for being a human being.

The main discussion is about the Imperial City military parade. Estimate the cost. In fact, there are not too many overruns, and the lieutenant soldiers heard that they could be reviewed in front of the Imperial City, and they signed up one after another. Now each battalion is selecting the best among them. .

This errand, as long as there are no moths, is the kind of rare thing that the emperor, his officials and the common people are satisfied with and love to see.

The negotiation went well, the two ministers were about to leave, and Zhu Gaochi coughed and left Lu Zhen, the minister of ritual.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhu Gaochi asked in a rather embarrassed whisper, "Lv Shangshu, recently, there are princesses from the countries of the Western Regions who have come to be with you."

"His Royal Highness, you..."

"I am not, I am not, don't talk nonsense"
