Chapter 274 Rebuilding the Martial Arts Temple and the Confucian Temple, and building a new Imperial
Chapter 274 Rebuilding the Martial Arts Temple and the Confucian Temple, and building a new Imperial Temple!On the importance of ancestral system!
Just click our name!
Hu Hui, Yao Kui and others lowered their heads and remained silent.
"My lords, Chen Tai presented me with a treasure. I named it cement. It can be used to seal the cracks of wall bricks, which is stronger than soil. It can also be used to strengthen exterior walls, for city defense and for building houses."
"I have already asked people to build a wall. You can go and see it when you leave the palace."
"Chen Tai has a talent for construction. I would like to promote him to the Ministry of Industry as the Right Assistant Minister."
The courtiers were very interested in this cement.
Last time, Chen Tai also presented a new type of cement, but the emperor thought it was not strong enough and the cost was high, so he ordered him to continue studying it.
After only half a year of work, new cement was delivered.
I am very satisfied with what the emperor wants.
"Your Majesty, Chen Tai has meritorious service, but when it comes to promotion, he cannot be promoted simply because of his meritorious service."
Hu Hui said seriously: "It is undeniable that some officials have the ability to create in a flash of inspiration, but the essence of an official is to be diligent, work for the benefit of the country, and do his job conscientiously."
"If you only pursue fancy skills, who will be willing to do things down-to-earth in the future?"
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Old Master, Chen Tai should be promoted for his merits."
"His Majesty!"
Hu Hui stood up and knelt on the ground: "Since the beginning of the establishment of the dynasty, there has been a system. Promotions, demotions, and selection of talents are all operated by the system. Therefore, the dynasty is stable, and talents of all kinds emerge in an endless stream. The dynasty has an inexhaustible supply."
"If Your Majesty goes out of his way to promote talents with extraordinary skills, officials from all over the world will flock to study them like flies chasing after bad smells."
"So where does the talent for governing the country come from? Where is the talent for running the army? Where is the talent for supervising grain, water management, agriculture, and planning?"
"These talents will gradually decline due to His Majesty's bias, and eventually they will all disappear, and they will all become talents with extraordinary skills. How will Your Majesty use them then?"
"His Majesty!"
"I'm not against His Majesty's pursuit of extravagant and skillful skills, but I can't abandon the fundamentals and pursue the inferiors, and should stop in moderation."
"No matter how outstanding Chen Taiqi's obscene skills are, he cannot escape the nature of the court. Officials are promoted and demoted. They have their own system and cannot be destroyed!"
"Your Majesty, please be careful."
Hu Hui kowtowed.
What he means is that the emperor cannot promote courtiers arbitrarily.
If you think about it more deeply, this is the process of putting the emperor into a cage.
Imperial power means that the emperor can do whatever he wants, which has advantages and disadvantages.
But it is not the ministerial power that limits the imperial power, let alone the general public!
But the system!It's ancestral!It’s all outside the box!
In the past, emperors broke free from restraints and used imperial power to do whatever they pleased.
But as Zhu Qiyu became rational, he gradually became bound by rules.
After all, Zhu Qiyu needs hundreds of officials from all over the world to govern the country for him, so he can't do everything by himself, right?
At this time, the courtiers will use ancestral systems, systems, and rules to restrict the emperor.
Zhu Qiyu let it go and voluntarily gave up the arbitrariness of imperial power. This was intentional restraint, so he got along well with the courtiers and worked together to govern the Ming Dynasty.
however.
The ministers are always pushing their limits.
Hu Xi was putting Zhu Qiyu into the cage.
Although Zhu Qiyu is showing his teeth and claws, he may not be able to win completely if he really collides with Hu Hui.
Can really win.
But he cannot win completely. Hu Xi is in poor health. If he dies, his plan to clean up Southern Zhili will be difficult to carry out.
He needed Hu Hui to help him stabilize the government, but Hu Hui didn't need him, Zhu Qiyu.
Hu Hui's political appeal was not to be remembered forever, but to do what San Yang had done. In other words, every important minister standing in the court was doing the same thing as San Yang.
Try your best to put the emperor in the cage.
Zhu Qiyu sometimes wondered if it would be different if he changed the courtiers?
But, can he make the courtiers not kneel before the emperor?
Can he hand over the imperial power?
Can he let civil servants control the world and let military generals bow to civil servants?
No!
He won't allow it, never allow it.
Then, no matter who becomes the chief minister or the minister of the cabinet, they will not be of the same mind as the emperor.
Unless he reuses treacherous ministers, those who are incompetent but must rely on imperial power to occupy high positions, these people will be willing to be the emperor's lackeys.
The problem is that he hopes that the Ming Dynasty will get better, that the people will live a prosperous life soon, and that the Ming Dynasty will continue to prosper.
With mediocre ministers and treacherous ministers, the good situation now falls apart in an instant.
Ming Dynasty will immediately return to the track of history.
If the courtiers are incompetent, what's the use of the emperor tearing his heart out?
All ZTE governance was the result of the virtuous emperor, the extraordinary ability of the courtiers, and the tacit cooperation with each other.
Zhu Qiyu must use capable and wise ministers.
If you want to use capable and wise ministers, you have to endure their political demands and fight with them.
"What the old lady said is very true, I listen to it."
Zhu Qiyu chose to give in.
Perhaps, when he becomes old and dim, he will use treacherous ministers to stabilize the government.
After all, he felt uncomfortable chatting with the virtuous ministers. If he was irrational, he would simply kill them all and let the Ming Dynasty return to its original track. It would be better for him to be a faint king.
Hu Hui said: "Your Majesty's advice is as smooth as if Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty were alive."
"The veteran has a few commonplace words. Your Majesty, please allow me to finish."
Zhu Qiyu asked him to speak.
"Your Majesty thinks that the ancestral system is corrupt, so he does not follow the ancestral system."
"But your majesty knows that the Ming Dynasty's ability to survive for hundreds of years depends precisely on the ancestral system."
"Over the years, the Ming Dynasty has experienced constant ups and downs, but the throne has been successfully passed on. The country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the country continues to prosper."
Hu Hui was talking about the coups such as Emperor Jianwen's reduction of vassals, Emperor Taizong's calamity, the defeat of Tumubao, and the seizing of the gate.
"I dare not say that the ancestral system is correct."
"But Your Majesty controls the world by relying on the ancestral system!"
Ancestral system refers to thoughts, social outlook, outlook on life, values, world outlook, and cultural outlook.
The emperor enjoyed the dividends of the ancestral system.
But kicking away the ancestral system is immoral.
"With your Majesty's ability, you can fill in the ancestral system, you can correct the ancestral system, but you can never abandon the ancestral system!"
"Without the ancestral system, how can the people of the world follow the rules?"
"Without rules, the country will not be a country!"
Hu Xi said seriously.
The current governance system is the same as the Ming Dynasty ancestral system.
The Ming Dynasty used Confucianism and the ancestral worldview structured by Emperor Taizu's outlook on life.
In the Ming Dynasty, it was the most advanced and effective way to manage the world.
In other words, everyone has limitations, and no theoretical system is advanced or correct. In the final analysis, it depends on how to use it.
But think deeply.
Hu Hui wanted the emperor to formulate his own rules and regulations, and then fit himself into them.
This is Hu Hui's brilliance.
The emperor clearly knew it was a trap, but he didn't know how to get over it.
"No rules, no standards."
"Your Majesty destroyed the ancestral system. If a new ancestral system is not formed, how can future generations of kings and ministers find a theoretical basis?"
"And what can the people of the world rely on? How can the officials govern the country?"
Hu Bi was pushing the envelope.
The emperor was blatantly restricted by rules.
Zhu Qiyu can be the rule maker, but he must also be restricted by the rules.
As long as the emperor does things, he will be restricted sooner or later.
This is the brilliance of civil servants.
Civil servants are more patient than emperors. When one civil servant falls, thousands of civil servants will stand up.
If you are a foolish king, you don't have to listen.
However, Zhu Qiyu could not take running the country as a joke.
There are two ways before Zhu Qiyu, pinch your nose and recognize it, or continue to go your own way.
But the latter problem will cause the courtiers to be distracted from their moral principles, and problems with the centripetal force will affect the whole body, and problems will occur all over the country.
Before, Zhu Qiyu fiercely wanted to kill this one and that one?
In the blink of an eye, the civil servant taught him a lesson and gave him a loud slap in the face, telling you: Emperor, you can't continue to be so willful!
"Old master."
"The ancestral system is indeed very important. Today's Ming Dynasty is all due to the ancestral system."
"The reason why I can inherit the throne and inherit the great power is because of the ancestral system."
Zhu Qiyu said quietly: "However, the ancestral system also needs to adapt to the times. I can supplement the ancestral system, extract the essence and eliminate the bad, and then improve the ancestral system."
Hu Xi's face changed slightly.
The reason why civil servants have the right to speak about the ancestral system is because the emperor who formulated the ancestral system has died, and most of the future emperors are unwilling to study.
And a large number of civil servants study the ancestral system every day, read it thoroughly, find loopholes in the ancestral system, set traps for the emperor, lead the emperor into the ditch, and finally use the ancestral system to trap the emperor to death.
But what did Zhu Qiyu say?
He wanted to give future kings the power to change and control the ancestral system.
In this way, the civil servant's arm was cut off by Zhu Qiyu.
It became an illusion for civil servants to use ancestral systems to control the emperor.
"Your Majesty, if the ancestral system is often changed, how can it still be called the ancestral system?" Hu Ming would never allow it. The right to interpret and change the ancestral system rests with the emperor.
The courtiers who had been pretending to be dead were now objecting.
This is the power of civil servants.
Civil servants relied on studying the ancestral system to limit imperial power.
The emperor controlled imperial power by breaking through the ancestral system.
Hold each other hostage.
"It cannot be changed frequently, but some ancestral systems, such as those during the Hongwu period, were difficult to maintain by the Yongle Dynasty."
"Let's just say that this method has been surviving for more than 100 years and is completely declining."
"If it continues to be used, it will be harmful to the country and the people."
Zhu Qiyu is secretly changing his concept.
The Ming ancestral system must be wrong?
In fact, the principles in the world are all the same. They just changed the words. The essence is the same, to maintain rule!
Different eras have different new ideas. In the final analysis, they are all about maintaining rule.
In fact, modern people, like the ancients, are studying ancestral systems.
Don't wait for Hu Hui to object.
Zhu Qiyu added: "What I mean is that starting from me, every emperor can fill in, enrich, and change the ancestral system as appropriate based on the previous emperor."
"The kings of future generations may delete it as appropriate and add contemporary governance theories."
"It's better to set up a bureau and hang it in the Twelve Prisons."
Isn’t this the so-and-so new era theory?
The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes!
This is using eunuchs to steal the power of civil servants!
You put the ancestral system theory bureau in the inner prison, the eunuchs write whatever they want, and the emperor follows it. What will the civil servants do?Being a dog for the eunuch?
"Your Majesty, how do eunuchs know how to govern a country?" Yao Kui exclaimed.
"I didn't say let the eunuchs govern the country? I just said that we would set up a department. Naturally, we would recruit knowledgeable people from all over the world to discuss how to govern the country."
Zhu Qiyu did it on purpose.
He is diverting attention, using the conflict between civil servants and eunuchs to divert the essential issue.
"Your Majesty, I still believe that the ancestral system cannot be changed!" Hu Hu was not easy to fool.
Zhu Qiyu said haha.
The right to interpret the ancestral system must be in the hands of the emperor.
This is the foundation of imperial power!
The ability of civil servants to usurp imperial power meant they had the power to interpret the ancestral system.
It is equivalent to saying that Emperor Taizu formulated the constitution, but the power to interpret the constitution was in the hands of civil servants, and civil servants were best at playing word games. After explanations, the emperor was interpreted as a pig.
The emperor who was really disobedient was dissolved in water.
The problem is that after the emperor died, no one sought justice for the emperor, because the emperor himself was unjust and deserved to die. There were many pigs anyway, so there was nothing wrong with replacing a pig as the emperor.
And Zhu Qiyu just wanted to take back the right to interpret the ancestral system.
As long as there is no young emperor in future generations, the imperial power will not decline too much.
"We won't discuss this matter today."
Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "The old master said that Chen Tai cannot be promoted, so I will listen to him. But Chen Tai wants to be transferred to the Ministry of Industry. Let's transfer him to a regular position. I will give him a bronze talisman."
Today, he is just throwing some bricks and mortar, and if he wants to fully obtain the right to interpret the ancestral system, it will take a long time to play.
Anyway, this is paving the way for his son. He is not in a hurry now and will just slowly take over the power.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Hu Hui's mouth felt bitter.
He was a little anxious. Because of his health, he was worried that the civil servants would not be able to see the future.
Therefore, they urgently sought power from the emperor.
If the emperor goes crazy and kills him, he will be happy.
Because such an emperor has not grown up.
Still a kid.
When Li Xian comes to power, he will still be able to curb imperial power.
No matter what happens, after Zhu Qiyu's death, the imperial power will still fall apart and civilian officials will still be in power.
The problem is that the emperor is mature and knows how to fight back against his ministers within the rules and use political means to solve problems.
This made Hu Hui feel scared.
If an emperor who knows how to play politics and holds imperial power does not die young, his ministers will sooner or later be tamed like dogs.
However, the current emperor insists on exercising and abstaining from drinking. Although he is devoted to government affairs, he is far less diligent than Emperor Taizu. He pays attention to diet and rest, and often orders the imperial doctor to consult, and he keeps taking supplements.
Such an emperor clearly shows his longevity!
Why did you die so young?
Could it be that we can only make him dissolve in water?
Hu Xi's eyes were filled with helplessness.
"My lords, cement is a strategic material. City walls rammed with cement can more effectively resist arrows and firearms."
"At the same time, it is also suitable for building houses and repairing roads."
"I want to order Chen Tai to manufacture cement on a large scale, build a castle outside the fortress, and guard the border for the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Qiyu was still immersed in the joy of getting cement.
The cement improved by Chen Tai is not modern cement, but an evolved version of soil cement, and cannot be used to build buildings.
Improvements are still needed, and he is looking forward to the day when concrete appears.
"Your Majesty has a heart for all people, which is a blessing to all people." The courtiers kowtowed.
"A few days ago, Xue Xuan wrote a letter saying that all the trees in Guangxi will be cut down. By the end of this year, there will be no large-scale virgin forests in Guangxi."
Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but laugh: "This is a good thing. It means that Guangxi is one step closer to becoming Han Dynasty."
"Just move hundreds of thousands of Han people there."
"In a few years, Guangxi will be completely Han territory."
"It also shows that with the prosperity of the private timber trade, countless trees from Guangxi have been transported to the north. There is no shortage of materials for the construction of cities and houses in the north."
"I have issued an order to Xue Yuan to cut down all the trees in Guangdong."
"Yunnan and Guizhou will also be cut down."
Cutting down trees also requires repairing roads to transport the trees, and repairing rivers to transport the trees to the north.
As long as the road is open and the trees are gone, what can those chieftains do to resist the soldiers of tomorrow?
But the one who cut down the tree was the chieftain.
Driven by profit, Yungui chieftains took the initiative to cut down trees, competed with Guangxi businessmen for business, and transported Yungui trees to the north.
In a few years, when all the trees in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi are cut down, the natural chasm will become a thoroughfare.
When the time comes, the heavenly soldiers will come, kill some of the natives, remove some of them, and then move in a large number of Han people, and it will become Han land.
"His Majesty!"
Sun Yuanzhen said: "Rehe, Ningxia and other places are temporarily unable to grow food."
"The three treasures of corn cannot be promoted for cultivation."
"And groups of criminals have already moved into Rehe. Do we need to keep transporting food from various places?"
"Water transportation is under great pressure, Your Majesty."
This is a big problem.
Zhu Qiyu muttered: "Xue Qing, what do you think?"
He looked at Xue Xilian.
Xue Xilian served as the first Chief of the Agriculture Department and was still the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites. He served as the chief officer of the Agriculture Department with the honor of Zuo Shilang, which proved that the court valued the Agriculture Department.
He is cultivating potatoes and crossing them with rice seeds.
Hybrid rice has actually been made since ancient times.
Last month, Wang Yue sent a batch of rice seeds from North Korea for hybridization.
If you want to grow food in Mobei, rice and wheat seeds need to be drought-resistant.
"Back to Your Majesty, the Department of Agriculture has just been established. Wei Chen will establish the Agricultural Research College as you said, and Wei Chen will serve as the first priest."
"We also recruited a group of agricultural talents from the private sector to take charge of the Agriculture Department."
"We also recruit a group of children from the private sector who are willing to work in agriculture to study in the academy."
"The problem is that the formation time is still short. Please give me some time, Your Majesty."
Xue Xilian said: "Rehe is still under construction and does not require a large amount of food."
"At the beginning of this year, generals Li Bing, Li Jin, Mao Sheng and other generals attacked various tribes in Mobei and captured a lot of money."
"For the time being, we can use the proceeds from grazing and capture to meet the needs of the people."
"Li Bing and Wang Shu are both famous officials and have gone deep into the local area to select land suitable for planting."
"Weichen believes that the first batch of rice seeds will be planted in Rehe in three to five years."
“You’ll be able to gain something in ten years.”
"In 20 to 30 years, we will be self-sufficient."
Xue Xilian said that the time was still short.
It takes a lot of time to truly mature a piece of land.
Therefore, all dynasties have been unwilling to engage in governance, especially in border areas, because no matter how good the governance is, it cannot withstand a war.
Border management was always accompanied by large-scale wars and the migration of Han people to the frontiers to build up the frontiers.
"Your Majesty, what Shilang Xue said is true."
“It will take at least 30 years to make Rehe self-sufficient.”
Geng Jiuchou said: "Wei Chen believes that we should first dredge the river, continue to extend the flow of the Cao Canal, and rely on the rice from the south to temporarily support the Rehe River."
"And Rehe is rich in cattle and sheep, and the beef and mutton can be sold south."
“They complement each other.”
Excluding transportation costs, breeding costs, mortality factors, etc., selling sheep from the north to the south is a complete loss.
"Unblocking the river will also facilitate the transportation of materials. The veteran thinks it is okay." Yao Kui supported it.
Ma Ang said: "The Ministry of Industry's focus is on building the city and the Yellow River. It lacks manpower and material resources. Even if it wants to dredge it, it is powerless." He murmured to himself: "It would be great if there were enough slaves."
"Ma Ang, what are you talking about?" Yao Kui stopped him.
Slaves are easy to use, but the problem is that these slaves need to eat. Where can the Ming Dynasty get so much food for them?
Haven't you seen the emperor worry about the refugees?
There are more than 1000 million refugees. Filling their stomachs is a big problem. Why do we still hope that the Ming Dynasty will attract people?
Ma Ang saluted: "Mr. Yao Ge, this construction worker has to pay six copper coins for five days in Rehe, and he still has to feed himself."
"This grain is all transported from the capital, and the price of a pound of rice is about 10 copper coins."
A pound of rice in the capital is worth seven copper coins.
"Calculate this, how much money does the court have? Can it be enough to spend like this?" Ma Ang really cared about money.
"Take it from the people, use it for the people, and it is natural for the people to work and make money."
Yao Kui said seriously: "Aren't the slaves going to stop eating? Isn't it still ten copper coins per pound of food? What a waste to feed them!"
"The people of the Ming Dynasty still don't have enough to eat, why don't they feed their own people first?"
This is also true.
The problem is, if you really use slaves to build a city, you can't build it at this speed. That is, you will use them to die, and they will not provide enough food.
Slaves are definitely cheap.
But when it comes to infrastructure construction, doesn’t it relieve the pressure on the people?Find something for the people to do, let them make some money, and if their lives are better, they will stop rebelling.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Both Qing family members are right, so don't argue."
"Slave matters must be done bit by bit."
"It is my responsibility to feed the people, and I don't care how much money is spent."
"Geng Qing is right. The rivers connecting the capital to Rehe, Shanxi, and Ningxia are serious matters. They facilitate transportation and save costs."
"The Ministry of Industry will build it at its discretion."
Ma Ang looked bitter and knelt down and said: "I obey the order."
"Speaking of money, we have to talk about silver coins."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Xing Guogong is right, these silver coins were sold out as soon as they were put on the market."
"Fortunately, the exchange ratio has been adjusted high enough, otherwise the silver coin reform would have ended in vain."
"Jiangxi and Nanzhili shipped a large amount of silver."
"The bank supervisor has been working day and night to make it, and it can be exchanged in the capital. I want to exchange it in the four provinces of Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, and Shaanxi first."
"When the next batch of silver from Nanzhili arrives in the capital, it will be redeemed in Nanzhili as well."
Zhu Qiyu had about [-] million taels of silver in his hands.
He is probably the emperor's richest.
But there is still half of the money that has not been sent to Beijing.
If converted according to the exchange rate, he would have [-] million taels of silver in his hands.
Zhu Qiyu's stable imperial power had a lot to do with this money.
Moreover, this does not include the money cleared from Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi and other provinces, which can also be regarded as the assets of the court.
Therefore, Zhu Qiyu's capital for reforming silver coins was based on strong capital.
He is really rich now.
"I predict that in the 11th year of Jingtai, silver coins will be completely adopted throughout the country and the currency status of silver and copper coins will be abolished."
Gold has never been legal tender in the Ming Dynasty.
Hu Hui suddenly felt tired. Will the emperor with so much money dissolve in water?
The emperor used silver coins instead of silver ingots, which was equivalent to grabbing the world's money bags.
As long as after the exchange, the emperor issued an imperial edict to cancel silver ingots as legal currency. In this way, the right to make money would be in the hands of the emperor.
Governing a country is an economic account.
If the emperor has money, his throne will be particularly stable.
When private commerce develops, people's lives will naturally be prosperous.
From top to bottom, this is a big cycle.
When the people's lives are better, they will naturally stop rebelling, which is equivalent to supporting the emperor.
The emperor can do whatever he wants.
Emperor Taizu, why did he dare to kill the imperial court, but the Ming Dynasty did not move at all? One reason is that the emperor has the power to make coins.
Treasure money supported the rule of Hongwu.
Maritime trade supported the Yongle rule.
With the abandonment of treasure banknotes and the interruption of maritime trade, starting from Emperor Xuanzong, the imperial power began to shrink. By the time of the orthodox emperor, all the money in the Ming Dynasty was gone. The emperor was so poor that his pockets were cleaner than his face. Who would support the emperor? ?
Zhu Qiyu's reform of silver coins was to put the power of coinage back into the hands of the emperor.
The Department of Banknotes was abolished, the Banking Bureau was merged, and it was changed to the Banking Supervision Bureau. This improved the status of the minting power and showed that the imperial power had no restrictions.
Yu Qian really helped the emperor a lot.
Adjust the exchange ratio to make the emperor make a lot of money.
As long as the exchange ratio remains unchanged, the emperor can use a small amount of capital to leverage the country's capital and control all the country's money in his own hands.
In the future, whether it is silver coming in from overseas or silver mines obtained from plunder, it will be collected by the central government and become the emperor's money.
The emperor's money will never be spent.
Hu Hui discovered that, silently, the emperor had become a behemoth.
It will take several generations of efforts to melt this behemoth. Just as the imperial power of the Yongle Dynasty collapsed, it also went through the Hongxi Dynasty, Xuande Dynasty, and it was not until the turning point of Tumubao that the imperial power completely collapsed.
But what pleased him was that the ancient Ming dynasty was coming back to life.
Look at how quickly silver coins are exchanged.
It shows the affluence of the people. After the exchange, wealth is gathering in the center.
The emperor used the money to build Mobei, regain Jiaozhi, expand the territory, level the land, nourish the land and support the people, and the Ming Dynasty became prosperous and great again.
"Your Majesty, let's set it on the first day of the first lunar month of the 12th year of Jingtai."
Yao Kui said: "Issuing it together with the Slave Emancipation Order is a double blessing."
The Ming Dynasty is dying and everything is slow.
We also have to give landlord Lao Cai some time to adapt.
Zhu Qiyu did not object: "Let's set it in the 12th year of Jingtai."
"Your Majesty Shengming."
Zhu Qiyu considered it and said: "My lords, regarding the issue of the refugees, I plan to subsidize the refugees with a sum of money. What do you think?"
He was afraid that the refugees would rebel.
Yao Kui's expression changed: "Your Majesty, absolutely not!"
"People in the world don't worry about scarcity but about inequality."
"Your Majesty has subsidized the refugees, so how will the surviving people in the world deal with themselves? Do they feel that the refugees are treated better than themselves, so why should they become refugees too?"
"Your Majesty's love for the people is good, but never underestimate the evil of human nature!"
These words aroused the agreement of the courtiers.
Human nature is inherently evil, and people's hearts tend to be profitable.
If being a refugee could make money, all the people in the world would give up and become refugees.
Ma Wensheng said: "Your Majesty, you will give tax exemptions to the northern provinces and give them money to buy coal."
"But what will the people in the south think?"
"Since the Hongwu Dynasty, they have been bridging the division of the north and the south, making the north and the south one family in the Central Plains."
"But your Majesty's move is dividing the north and the south."
This is not a joke.
Starting from the Southern Song Dynasty, the north and the south were completely divided and ruled, and they were incompatible with each other.
The small court of the Southern Song Dynasty also gave the northerners a vicious title, "Reformers", which completely divided the Chinese nation.
After experiencing the Mongol and Yuan rule, people were divided into three, six or nine grades, and the north and the south were no longer one.
Until Emperor Taizu recreated China, established the Ming Dynasty, and unified the north and south.
Especially the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have been separated from the motherland for hundreds of years!
Even the pronunciation is different from each other, even the words are deviated, and there is a serious sense of disidentification in history.
Therefore, since the Hongwu Dynasty, Emperor Taizu has been constantly rectifying the harm caused by the division of the north and the south, and repeatedly telling the people of the world that the north and the south are one family, and they are all China.
Mentioning this matter, Yu Zijun knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, what Ma Siqing said is true. The division of the north and the south will do great harm to China. We must not let the people have a sense of separation between the south and the north."
"Ma Qing is right, I didn't think about it."
Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty moved its capital to the north, which stabilized the north and prevented it from splitting again.
"The central government also exempted the people of the southern provinces from corresponding taxes, called coal supplements, which are available to all people in the world, regardless of north or south."
With a wave of his hand, Zhu Qiyu would spend a huge amount of money.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Zhu Qiyu asked them to get up: "The division of the north and the south was the fault of the Southern Song Dynasty. The random diversion of the Yellow River was also the fault of the Southern Song Dynasty. Did the Southern Song Dynasty do anything?"
"But I want to regard him as Zhengshuo!"
"Looking at the Liao and Jin Dynasties, which one is not better than the Southern Song Dynasty?"
"Didn't the Khitan and Jurchen also become Han Chinese? Who can tell the difference now?"
"At the same time, why do Chinese people regard the Southern Song Dynasty as Zhengshuo?"
The Zhengshuo issue is too sensitive.
The emperor complained a few words, but others did not dare to say anything.
When Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty, he regarded the Southern Song Dynasty as Zhengshuo, and when the Ming Dynasty inherited the Yuan Dynasty, it was natural that the Southern Song Dynasty should be regarded as Zhengshuo.
Besides, although the Liao and Jin people were heavily sinicized, they were still foreigners after all.
No matter how bad the Southern Song Dynasty was, it was still our own clan.
"Hmph, it's unfair for me to repay the sins caused by the Southern Song Dynasty!"
Zhu Qiyu was a little angry: "My lords, I want to build a temple for the emperors of all dynasties, and then build a temple of literature and martial arts."
"I don't want to put any of the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty in it, and I don't want to put any of the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty in it except Zhao Kuangyin."
When the courtiers heard this, the emperor became willful again.
but.
It would be a good opportunity to build another Confucian Temple and a Martial Arts Temple.
Emperor Taizu abolished the Wu Temple and converted the Confucian Temple to the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
This is an extreme reduction of ministerial power, turning the civil servants and military generals who have shone brightly in history into the emperor's vassals and lackeys.
At the same time, Emperor Taizu was doing his best to limit military power and reduce the status of generals to the extreme, turning generals into the emperor's eagle claws.
Nearly a hundred years later.
Zhu Qiyu wanted to rebuild the Confucian Temple, the Martial Arts Temple, and the Imperial Temple.
This is a good thing.
"I thought you would say that this goes against the ancestral system?" Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile.
The courtier's expression changed and he smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, when will I use the ancestral system to advise Your Majesty?"
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Qiyu laughed.
Emperor Taizu's intention was very clear, to suppress the power of ministers to the extreme.
Zhu Qiyu also understood, but if he wanted to get back the right to interpret the ancestral system, he would have to give benefits to the civil servants first.
Once the Confucian Temple or the Martial Arts Temple are built, he will have the right to move whoever he wants in and who he can move out.
In this way, the ministers took the emperor's right to interpret the ancestral system, and the emperor took the ministers' right to enter the temple, and they harmed each other.
"Your Majesty, do you want to inherit the Yuan system, or re-approval of civil and military candidates?"
Hu Xi asked the key question.
If the emperor chooses historical candidates, then the ministerial power will be controlled by the emperor.
In the future, anyone who wants to enter the Confucian Temple or the Wu Temple must obtain the emperor's permission.
"Of course it needs to be re-examined. Some people are not worthy of entering the Confucian Temple or the Martial Arts Temple." Zhu Qiyu was not targeting anyone, but the Southern Song Dynasty.
Hu Xi's face froze.
Sure enough, everything the emperor did had deep meaning.
"I don't plan to follow the rules and directly accept the previous dynasty's list."
Zhu Qiyu considered it and said: "I want to use a new list, and I don't use the rule of 72 generals of the Ten Philosophers. I just need to set a standard. All civil servants and generals who meet the standard will be worthy of sacrifice."
There are too many famous civil servants and generals in Chinese history.
There are not only 72 generals, there are too many prominent figures from all dynasties and generations.
Zhu Qiyu wanted to record all these people.
Upon hearing this, Hu Hui realized that if he followed the standards, he, Hu Hui, would also have a chance to enter.
So how many of the courtiers standing in the Yangxin Hall are qualified to enter?
The emperor's move completely mobilized the enthusiasm of his ministers.
"Your Majesty, you can't sacrifice too many people?"
Although Yao Kui also wanted to enter the Confucian Temple, he knew that his ability and political achievements were insufficient.
Entering the Confucian Temple actually lowers the level of the Confucian Temple.
He is self-aware.
"That's natural."
"Not just any famous general or minister can enter the temple."
Zhu Qiyu said: "So we need to set a standard."
Bai Gui smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, if we follow Han Xin's standards, how many people can enter the Martial Temple?"
"That's your problem. Based on the lists of previous dynasties, re-evaluate merit and select a standard based on merit."
Zhu Qiyu said: "72 places are too few."
"Let's see, I plan to build four halls, one hall for 36 people, four halls means 140 people."
"The Wenwu Temple was put together to build eight halls, and another hall was built in the middle to serve as a temple to worship Confucius and other saints."
"But we have to leave some space. I hope a few people will come in this time!"
This is Zhu Qiyu's hook.
A hook to make your ministers obey.
It is equivalent to saying that part of these 144 places must be reserved for future generations and cannot be filled casually. The merit must be high enough.
But it shouldn’t be too high. Use Han Xin as the standard. How many can get in?
There are nine halls in total, one hall for saints, four halls for the Confucian Temple, and four halls for the Martial Arts Temple.
"The Confucian Temple also has 144 places."
Zhu Qiyu separated civil and military affairs, and the Confucian Temple also only enjoyed sacrifices.
In this way, how can a person like Zhuge Liang be regarded as a civilized person or a martial artist?
"Your Majesty, are the famous generals of the Yuan Dynasty included?" Bai Gui asked a very stupid question.
"The Ming Dynasty inherited the Yuan Dynasty, and the Mongolian people are also descendants of Chinese Miao people. How can they not be counted as Chinese people?"
Hu Xi said seriously: "Not only do we have to calculate, but we also need to publicize to the Mongols that Genghis Khan is a Chinese!"
Although the Mongols killed many Han people.
But I have to admit that Genghis Khan is Chinese.
The war between Han and Mongolia was a civil war, a war in the living space.
From the time when Emperor Taizu pinched his nose and recognized the Yuan Dynasty as the previous dynasty, future generations, regardless of whether they were embittered or not, had to admit that Genghis Khan was a Chinese.
It doesn’t matter whether Genghis Khan admits it or not, we admit it anyway.
"The old master is right, the famous generals of the Yuan Dynasty and also the famous Chinese generals want to enter the Wenwu Temple."
Zhu Qiyu said: "I would also like to include Genghis Khan among the emperors' temples."
In this way, the selection becomes interesting.
For example, there must be Hulagu in the Martial Arts Temple. Hulagu is the most influential orientalist in Europe. This outstanding man will also be included in the Martial Arts Temple.
Among the famous generals such as Han Xin, Zhang Liang, Guan Yu, Zhou Yu, Li Jing, and Xu Da, the name Xu Liegu suddenly appeared.
There will also be names like Kublai Lai, Zhelemei, Borshu, Subotai and so on.
Will it feel intrusive?
The Great Yuan Dynasty has entered, do the famous Liao and Jin generals also have to enter?
The name is interesting.
"Your Majesty, why don't you change these names?" Yu Zijun suddenly thought.
"How to change it?" Zhu Qiyu looked awkward, but he had to admit it.
"Changed to Chinese name, translated Chinese name."
Zhu Qiyu rolled his eyes: "Do you still know this person? Why not add him? If you don't change it, just add him!"
"Your Majesty, will famous generals from ancient dynasties such as Dali and Tubo join in?" Ma Wensheng asked a very pointed question.
Does the Ming Dynasty recognize the existence of these dynasties?
Nowadays, Dali and Tubo are both under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. For example, Songtsen Gampo, can he enter the imperial temple?
If other emperors did not have this problem, they would definitely not join.
Zhu Qiyu is different. He wants to expand his territory and be like Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan is open to all rivers and will use whatever is useful to him.
So will he add these people?
"Ma Qing, do you think we should add it?" Zhu Qiyu was also hesitating.
If these are added, when it is expanded to Annan and North Korea, will the famous ministers and generals in their history also be added to it?
Will this sow the seeds of division?
Ma Wensheng smiled bitterly: "Wei Chen believes that there are benefits to adding, but there are benefits to not adding."
"If you add it, it can bring Wushen back to his heart;"
"If we don't add it, we can ensure long-term peace and stability for the Han people."
He specifically mentioned the Han people.
The emperor wanted to eliminate the existence of all ethnic groups and turn them all into Han people. There would be no other ethnic groups and turn the Ming Dynasty into a single-ethnic country.
But if you add it, you can quickly rule Wusheng.
Zhu Qiyu was very confused and looked at Hu Hui and Yao Kui.
Hu Xi is still thinking.
Yao Kui said slowly: "I don't think it will be added."
"If we add them, will it give rise to Wushen's desire to regain Tubo?"
"After we include Annan and North Korea, now that we have learned from the past, should we also join their famous generals?"
"It's okay for countries like Annan and North Korea. After all, their countries have been bathed in Han civilization for thousands of years."
"And what about the far west? The names, habits, and even looks of those khanates established by the Mongols are all different from ours."
"Joining them is just like joining the emperors and ministers of Yuan Dynasty. It seems nondescript."
Yao Kui's words also make sense.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Hu Mei.
Hu Hui exhaled a breath of turbidity: "Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be considered. I can't make up my mind. There are advantages to both, but the disadvantages are also great."
"Dali Zuo'er is just a small country. It has been destroyed for a long time. It is nothing."
"But Wushen is different. If your Majesty wants to use Lamaism, you must be careful of Tubo's resurrection from the dead."
Although Hu Xi didn't say it clearly, she was opposed to joining these.
In fact, the formation of the Tubo Dynasty was absolutely related to the climate. At that time, global warming caused spring flowers to bloom on the plateau, which gave Tubo the capital to dominate.
With the current pace of global cooling, it is difficult for Wushen to protect itself. How can we recreate the glory of Tubo?
The problem is that Hu Hui doesn't know this.
He was wary of those lamas who traveled around preaching, whom he considered too dangerous and the cause of division.
(End of this chapter)
Just click our name!
Hu Hui, Yao Kui and others lowered their heads and remained silent.
"My lords, Chen Tai presented me with a treasure. I named it cement. It can be used to seal the cracks of wall bricks, which is stronger than soil. It can also be used to strengthen exterior walls, for city defense and for building houses."
"I have already asked people to build a wall. You can go and see it when you leave the palace."
"Chen Tai has a talent for construction. I would like to promote him to the Ministry of Industry as the Right Assistant Minister."
The courtiers were very interested in this cement.
Last time, Chen Tai also presented a new type of cement, but the emperor thought it was not strong enough and the cost was high, so he ordered him to continue studying it.
After only half a year of work, new cement was delivered.
I am very satisfied with what the emperor wants.
"Your Majesty, Chen Tai has meritorious service, but when it comes to promotion, he cannot be promoted simply because of his meritorious service."
Hu Hui said seriously: "It is undeniable that some officials have the ability to create in a flash of inspiration, but the essence of an official is to be diligent, work for the benefit of the country, and do his job conscientiously."
"If you only pursue fancy skills, who will be willing to do things down-to-earth in the future?"
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Old Master, Chen Tai should be promoted for his merits."
"His Majesty!"
Hu Hui stood up and knelt on the ground: "Since the beginning of the establishment of the dynasty, there has been a system. Promotions, demotions, and selection of talents are all operated by the system. Therefore, the dynasty is stable, and talents of all kinds emerge in an endless stream. The dynasty has an inexhaustible supply."
"If Your Majesty goes out of his way to promote talents with extraordinary skills, officials from all over the world will flock to study them like flies chasing after bad smells."
"So where does the talent for governing the country come from? Where is the talent for running the army? Where is the talent for supervising grain, water management, agriculture, and planning?"
"These talents will gradually decline due to His Majesty's bias, and eventually they will all disappear, and they will all become talents with extraordinary skills. How will Your Majesty use them then?"
"His Majesty!"
"I'm not against His Majesty's pursuit of extravagant and skillful skills, but I can't abandon the fundamentals and pursue the inferiors, and should stop in moderation."
"No matter how outstanding Chen Taiqi's obscene skills are, he cannot escape the nature of the court. Officials are promoted and demoted. They have their own system and cannot be destroyed!"
"Your Majesty, please be careful."
Hu Hui kowtowed.
What he means is that the emperor cannot promote courtiers arbitrarily.
If you think about it more deeply, this is the process of putting the emperor into a cage.
Imperial power means that the emperor can do whatever he wants, which has advantages and disadvantages.
But it is not the ministerial power that limits the imperial power, let alone the general public!
But the system!It's ancestral!It’s all outside the box!
In the past, emperors broke free from restraints and used imperial power to do whatever they pleased.
But as Zhu Qiyu became rational, he gradually became bound by rules.
After all, Zhu Qiyu needs hundreds of officials from all over the world to govern the country for him, so he can't do everything by himself, right?
At this time, the courtiers will use ancestral systems, systems, and rules to restrict the emperor.
Zhu Qiyu let it go and voluntarily gave up the arbitrariness of imperial power. This was intentional restraint, so he got along well with the courtiers and worked together to govern the Ming Dynasty.
however.
The ministers are always pushing their limits.
Hu Xi was putting Zhu Qiyu into the cage.
Although Zhu Qiyu is showing his teeth and claws, he may not be able to win completely if he really collides with Hu Hui.
Can really win.
But he cannot win completely. Hu Xi is in poor health. If he dies, his plan to clean up Southern Zhili will be difficult to carry out.
He needed Hu Hui to help him stabilize the government, but Hu Hui didn't need him, Zhu Qiyu.
Hu Hui's political appeal was not to be remembered forever, but to do what San Yang had done. In other words, every important minister standing in the court was doing the same thing as San Yang.
Try your best to put the emperor in the cage.
Zhu Qiyu sometimes wondered if it would be different if he changed the courtiers?
But, can he make the courtiers not kneel before the emperor?
Can he hand over the imperial power?
Can he let civil servants control the world and let military generals bow to civil servants?
No!
He won't allow it, never allow it.
Then, no matter who becomes the chief minister or the minister of the cabinet, they will not be of the same mind as the emperor.
Unless he reuses treacherous ministers, those who are incompetent but must rely on imperial power to occupy high positions, these people will be willing to be the emperor's lackeys.
The problem is that he hopes that the Ming Dynasty will get better, that the people will live a prosperous life soon, and that the Ming Dynasty will continue to prosper.
With mediocre ministers and treacherous ministers, the good situation now falls apart in an instant.
Ming Dynasty will immediately return to the track of history.
If the courtiers are incompetent, what's the use of the emperor tearing his heart out?
All ZTE governance was the result of the virtuous emperor, the extraordinary ability of the courtiers, and the tacit cooperation with each other.
Zhu Qiyu must use capable and wise ministers.
If you want to use capable and wise ministers, you have to endure their political demands and fight with them.
"What the old lady said is very true, I listen to it."
Zhu Qiyu chose to give in.
Perhaps, when he becomes old and dim, he will use treacherous ministers to stabilize the government.
After all, he felt uncomfortable chatting with the virtuous ministers. If he was irrational, he would simply kill them all and let the Ming Dynasty return to its original track. It would be better for him to be a faint king.
Hu Hui said: "Your Majesty's advice is as smooth as if Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty were alive."
"The veteran has a few commonplace words. Your Majesty, please allow me to finish."
Zhu Qiyu asked him to speak.
"Your Majesty thinks that the ancestral system is corrupt, so he does not follow the ancestral system."
"But your majesty knows that the Ming Dynasty's ability to survive for hundreds of years depends precisely on the ancestral system."
"Over the years, the Ming Dynasty has experienced constant ups and downs, but the throne has been successfully passed on. The country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the country continues to prosper."
Hu Hui was talking about the coups such as Emperor Jianwen's reduction of vassals, Emperor Taizong's calamity, the defeat of Tumubao, and the seizing of the gate.
"I dare not say that the ancestral system is correct."
"But Your Majesty controls the world by relying on the ancestral system!"
Ancestral system refers to thoughts, social outlook, outlook on life, values, world outlook, and cultural outlook.
The emperor enjoyed the dividends of the ancestral system.
But kicking away the ancestral system is immoral.
"With your Majesty's ability, you can fill in the ancestral system, you can correct the ancestral system, but you can never abandon the ancestral system!"
"Without the ancestral system, how can the people of the world follow the rules?"
"Without rules, the country will not be a country!"
Hu Xi said seriously.
The current governance system is the same as the Ming Dynasty ancestral system.
The Ming Dynasty used Confucianism and the ancestral worldview structured by Emperor Taizu's outlook on life.
In the Ming Dynasty, it was the most advanced and effective way to manage the world.
In other words, everyone has limitations, and no theoretical system is advanced or correct. In the final analysis, it depends on how to use it.
But think deeply.
Hu Hui wanted the emperor to formulate his own rules and regulations, and then fit himself into them.
This is Hu Hui's brilliance.
The emperor clearly knew it was a trap, but he didn't know how to get over it.
"No rules, no standards."
"Your Majesty destroyed the ancestral system. If a new ancestral system is not formed, how can future generations of kings and ministers find a theoretical basis?"
"And what can the people of the world rely on? How can the officials govern the country?"
Hu Bi was pushing the envelope.
The emperor was blatantly restricted by rules.
Zhu Qiyu can be the rule maker, but he must also be restricted by the rules.
As long as the emperor does things, he will be restricted sooner or later.
This is the brilliance of civil servants.
Civil servants are more patient than emperors. When one civil servant falls, thousands of civil servants will stand up.
If you are a foolish king, you don't have to listen.
However, Zhu Qiyu could not take running the country as a joke.
There are two ways before Zhu Qiyu, pinch your nose and recognize it, or continue to go your own way.
But the latter problem will cause the courtiers to be distracted from their moral principles, and problems with the centripetal force will affect the whole body, and problems will occur all over the country.
Before, Zhu Qiyu fiercely wanted to kill this one and that one?
In the blink of an eye, the civil servant taught him a lesson and gave him a loud slap in the face, telling you: Emperor, you can't continue to be so willful!
"Old master."
"The ancestral system is indeed very important. Today's Ming Dynasty is all due to the ancestral system."
"The reason why I can inherit the throne and inherit the great power is because of the ancestral system."
Zhu Qiyu said quietly: "However, the ancestral system also needs to adapt to the times. I can supplement the ancestral system, extract the essence and eliminate the bad, and then improve the ancestral system."
Hu Xi's face changed slightly.
The reason why civil servants have the right to speak about the ancestral system is because the emperor who formulated the ancestral system has died, and most of the future emperors are unwilling to study.
And a large number of civil servants study the ancestral system every day, read it thoroughly, find loopholes in the ancestral system, set traps for the emperor, lead the emperor into the ditch, and finally use the ancestral system to trap the emperor to death.
But what did Zhu Qiyu say?
He wanted to give future kings the power to change and control the ancestral system.
In this way, the civil servant's arm was cut off by Zhu Qiyu.
It became an illusion for civil servants to use ancestral systems to control the emperor.
"Your Majesty, if the ancestral system is often changed, how can it still be called the ancestral system?" Hu Ming would never allow it. The right to interpret and change the ancestral system rests with the emperor.
The courtiers who had been pretending to be dead were now objecting.
This is the power of civil servants.
Civil servants relied on studying the ancestral system to limit imperial power.
The emperor controlled imperial power by breaking through the ancestral system.
Hold each other hostage.
"It cannot be changed frequently, but some ancestral systems, such as those during the Hongwu period, were difficult to maintain by the Yongle Dynasty."
"Let's just say that this method has been surviving for more than 100 years and is completely declining."
"If it continues to be used, it will be harmful to the country and the people."
Zhu Qiyu is secretly changing his concept.
The Ming ancestral system must be wrong?
In fact, the principles in the world are all the same. They just changed the words. The essence is the same, to maintain rule!
Different eras have different new ideas. In the final analysis, they are all about maintaining rule.
In fact, modern people, like the ancients, are studying ancestral systems.
Don't wait for Hu Hui to object.
Zhu Qiyu added: "What I mean is that starting from me, every emperor can fill in, enrich, and change the ancestral system as appropriate based on the previous emperor."
"The kings of future generations may delete it as appropriate and add contemporary governance theories."
"It's better to set up a bureau and hang it in the Twelve Prisons."
Isn’t this the so-and-so new era theory?
The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes!
This is using eunuchs to steal the power of civil servants!
You put the ancestral system theory bureau in the inner prison, the eunuchs write whatever they want, and the emperor follows it. What will the civil servants do?Being a dog for the eunuch?
"Your Majesty, how do eunuchs know how to govern a country?" Yao Kui exclaimed.
"I didn't say let the eunuchs govern the country? I just said that we would set up a department. Naturally, we would recruit knowledgeable people from all over the world to discuss how to govern the country."
Zhu Qiyu did it on purpose.
He is diverting attention, using the conflict between civil servants and eunuchs to divert the essential issue.
"Your Majesty, I still believe that the ancestral system cannot be changed!" Hu Hu was not easy to fool.
Zhu Qiyu said haha.
The right to interpret the ancestral system must be in the hands of the emperor.
This is the foundation of imperial power!
The ability of civil servants to usurp imperial power meant they had the power to interpret the ancestral system.
It is equivalent to saying that Emperor Taizu formulated the constitution, but the power to interpret the constitution was in the hands of civil servants, and civil servants were best at playing word games. After explanations, the emperor was interpreted as a pig.
The emperor who was really disobedient was dissolved in water.
The problem is that after the emperor died, no one sought justice for the emperor, because the emperor himself was unjust and deserved to die. There were many pigs anyway, so there was nothing wrong with replacing a pig as the emperor.
And Zhu Qiyu just wanted to take back the right to interpret the ancestral system.
As long as there is no young emperor in future generations, the imperial power will not decline too much.
"We won't discuss this matter today."
Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "The old master said that Chen Tai cannot be promoted, so I will listen to him. But Chen Tai wants to be transferred to the Ministry of Industry. Let's transfer him to a regular position. I will give him a bronze talisman."
Today, he is just throwing some bricks and mortar, and if he wants to fully obtain the right to interpret the ancestral system, it will take a long time to play.
Anyway, this is paving the way for his son. He is not in a hurry now and will just slowly take over the power.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Hu Hui's mouth felt bitter.
He was a little anxious. Because of his health, he was worried that the civil servants would not be able to see the future.
Therefore, they urgently sought power from the emperor.
If the emperor goes crazy and kills him, he will be happy.
Because such an emperor has not grown up.
Still a kid.
When Li Xian comes to power, he will still be able to curb imperial power.
No matter what happens, after Zhu Qiyu's death, the imperial power will still fall apart and civilian officials will still be in power.
The problem is that the emperor is mature and knows how to fight back against his ministers within the rules and use political means to solve problems.
This made Hu Hui feel scared.
If an emperor who knows how to play politics and holds imperial power does not die young, his ministers will sooner or later be tamed like dogs.
However, the current emperor insists on exercising and abstaining from drinking. Although he is devoted to government affairs, he is far less diligent than Emperor Taizu. He pays attention to diet and rest, and often orders the imperial doctor to consult, and he keeps taking supplements.
Such an emperor clearly shows his longevity!
Why did you die so young?
Could it be that we can only make him dissolve in water?
Hu Xi's eyes were filled with helplessness.
"My lords, cement is a strategic material. City walls rammed with cement can more effectively resist arrows and firearms."
"At the same time, it is also suitable for building houses and repairing roads."
"I want to order Chen Tai to manufacture cement on a large scale, build a castle outside the fortress, and guard the border for the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Qiyu was still immersed in the joy of getting cement.
The cement improved by Chen Tai is not modern cement, but an evolved version of soil cement, and cannot be used to build buildings.
Improvements are still needed, and he is looking forward to the day when concrete appears.
"Your Majesty has a heart for all people, which is a blessing to all people." The courtiers kowtowed.
"A few days ago, Xue Xuan wrote a letter saying that all the trees in Guangxi will be cut down. By the end of this year, there will be no large-scale virgin forests in Guangxi."
Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but laugh: "This is a good thing. It means that Guangxi is one step closer to becoming Han Dynasty."
"Just move hundreds of thousands of Han people there."
"In a few years, Guangxi will be completely Han territory."
"It also shows that with the prosperity of the private timber trade, countless trees from Guangxi have been transported to the north. There is no shortage of materials for the construction of cities and houses in the north."
"I have issued an order to Xue Yuan to cut down all the trees in Guangdong."
"Yunnan and Guizhou will also be cut down."
Cutting down trees also requires repairing roads to transport the trees, and repairing rivers to transport the trees to the north.
As long as the road is open and the trees are gone, what can those chieftains do to resist the soldiers of tomorrow?
But the one who cut down the tree was the chieftain.
Driven by profit, Yungui chieftains took the initiative to cut down trees, competed with Guangxi businessmen for business, and transported Yungui trees to the north.
In a few years, when all the trees in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi are cut down, the natural chasm will become a thoroughfare.
When the time comes, the heavenly soldiers will come, kill some of the natives, remove some of them, and then move in a large number of Han people, and it will become Han land.
"His Majesty!"
Sun Yuanzhen said: "Rehe, Ningxia and other places are temporarily unable to grow food."
"The three treasures of corn cannot be promoted for cultivation."
"And groups of criminals have already moved into Rehe. Do we need to keep transporting food from various places?"
"Water transportation is under great pressure, Your Majesty."
This is a big problem.
Zhu Qiyu muttered: "Xue Qing, what do you think?"
He looked at Xue Xilian.
Xue Xilian served as the first Chief of the Agriculture Department and was still the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites. He served as the chief officer of the Agriculture Department with the honor of Zuo Shilang, which proved that the court valued the Agriculture Department.
He is cultivating potatoes and crossing them with rice seeds.
Hybrid rice has actually been made since ancient times.
Last month, Wang Yue sent a batch of rice seeds from North Korea for hybridization.
If you want to grow food in Mobei, rice and wheat seeds need to be drought-resistant.
"Back to Your Majesty, the Department of Agriculture has just been established. Wei Chen will establish the Agricultural Research College as you said, and Wei Chen will serve as the first priest."
"We also recruited a group of agricultural talents from the private sector to take charge of the Agriculture Department."
"We also recruit a group of children from the private sector who are willing to work in agriculture to study in the academy."
"The problem is that the formation time is still short. Please give me some time, Your Majesty."
Xue Xilian said: "Rehe is still under construction and does not require a large amount of food."
"At the beginning of this year, generals Li Bing, Li Jin, Mao Sheng and other generals attacked various tribes in Mobei and captured a lot of money."
"For the time being, we can use the proceeds from grazing and capture to meet the needs of the people."
"Li Bing and Wang Shu are both famous officials and have gone deep into the local area to select land suitable for planting."
"Weichen believes that the first batch of rice seeds will be planted in Rehe in three to five years."
“You’ll be able to gain something in ten years.”
"In 20 to 30 years, we will be self-sufficient."
Xue Xilian said that the time was still short.
It takes a lot of time to truly mature a piece of land.
Therefore, all dynasties have been unwilling to engage in governance, especially in border areas, because no matter how good the governance is, it cannot withstand a war.
Border management was always accompanied by large-scale wars and the migration of Han people to the frontiers to build up the frontiers.
"Your Majesty, what Shilang Xue said is true."
“It will take at least 30 years to make Rehe self-sufficient.”
Geng Jiuchou said: "Wei Chen believes that we should first dredge the river, continue to extend the flow of the Cao Canal, and rely on the rice from the south to temporarily support the Rehe River."
"And Rehe is rich in cattle and sheep, and the beef and mutton can be sold south."
“They complement each other.”
Excluding transportation costs, breeding costs, mortality factors, etc., selling sheep from the north to the south is a complete loss.
"Unblocking the river will also facilitate the transportation of materials. The veteran thinks it is okay." Yao Kui supported it.
Ma Ang said: "The Ministry of Industry's focus is on building the city and the Yellow River. It lacks manpower and material resources. Even if it wants to dredge it, it is powerless." He murmured to himself: "It would be great if there were enough slaves."
"Ma Ang, what are you talking about?" Yao Kui stopped him.
Slaves are easy to use, but the problem is that these slaves need to eat. Where can the Ming Dynasty get so much food for them?
Haven't you seen the emperor worry about the refugees?
There are more than 1000 million refugees. Filling their stomachs is a big problem. Why do we still hope that the Ming Dynasty will attract people?
Ma Ang saluted: "Mr. Yao Ge, this construction worker has to pay six copper coins for five days in Rehe, and he still has to feed himself."
"This grain is all transported from the capital, and the price of a pound of rice is about 10 copper coins."
A pound of rice in the capital is worth seven copper coins.
"Calculate this, how much money does the court have? Can it be enough to spend like this?" Ma Ang really cared about money.
"Take it from the people, use it for the people, and it is natural for the people to work and make money."
Yao Kui said seriously: "Aren't the slaves going to stop eating? Isn't it still ten copper coins per pound of food? What a waste to feed them!"
"The people of the Ming Dynasty still don't have enough to eat, why don't they feed their own people first?"
This is also true.
The problem is, if you really use slaves to build a city, you can't build it at this speed. That is, you will use them to die, and they will not provide enough food.
Slaves are definitely cheap.
But when it comes to infrastructure construction, doesn’t it relieve the pressure on the people?Find something for the people to do, let them make some money, and if their lives are better, they will stop rebelling.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Both Qing family members are right, so don't argue."
"Slave matters must be done bit by bit."
"It is my responsibility to feed the people, and I don't care how much money is spent."
"Geng Qing is right. The rivers connecting the capital to Rehe, Shanxi, and Ningxia are serious matters. They facilitate transportation and save costs."
"The Ministry of Industry will build it at its discretion."
Ma Ang looked bitter and knelt down and said: "I obey the order."
"Speaking of money, we have to talk about silver coins."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Xing Guogong is right, these silver coins were sold out as soon as they were put on the market."
"Fortunately, the exchange ratio has been adjusted high enough, otherwise the silver coin reform would have ended in vain."
"Jiangxi and Nanzhili shipped a large amount of silver."
"The bank supervisor has been working day and night to make it, and it can be exchanged in the capital. I want to exchange it in the four provinces of Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, and Shaanxi first."
"When the next batch of silver from Nanzhili arrives in the capital, it will be redeemed in Nanzhili as well."
Zhu Qiyu had about [-] million taels of silver in his hands.
He is probably the emperor's richest.
But there is still half of the money that has not been sent to Beijing.
If converted according to the exchange rate, he would have [-] million taels of silver in his hands.
Zhu Qiyu's stable imperial power had a lot to do with this money.
Moreover, this does not include the money cleared from Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi and other provinces, which can also be regarded as the assets of the court.
Therefore, Zhu Qiyu's capital for reforming silver coins was based on strong capital.
He is really rich now.
"I predict that in the 11th year of Jingtai, silver coins will be completely adopted throughout the country and the currency status of silver and copper coins will be abolished."
Gold has never been legal tender in the Ming Dynasty.
Hu Hui suddenly felt tired. Will the emperor with so much money dissolve in water?
The emperor used silver coins instead of silver ingots, which was equivalent to grabbing the world's money bags.
As long as after the exchange, the emperor issued an imperial edict to cancel silver ingots as legal currency. In this way, the right to make money would be in the hands of the emperor.
Governing a country is an economic account.
If the emperor has money, his throne will be particularly stable.
When private commerce develops, people's lives will naturally be prosperous.
From top to bottom, this is a big cycle.
When the people's lives are better, they will naturally stop rebelling, which is equivalent to supporting the emperor.
The emperor can do whatever he wants.
Emperor Taizu, why did he dare to kill the imperial court, but the Ming Dynasty did not move at all? One reason is that the emperor has the power to make coins.
Treasure money supported the rule of Hongwu.
Maritime trade supported the Yongle rule.
With the abandonment of treasure banknotes and the interruption of maritime trade, starting from Emperor Xuanzong, the imperial power began to shrink. By the time of the orthodox emperor, all the money in the Ming Dynasty was gone. The emperor was so poor that his pockets were cleaner than his face. Who would support the emperor? ?
Zhu Qiyu's reform of silver coins was to put the power of coinage back into the hands of the emperor.
The Department of Banknotes was abolished, the Banking Bureau was merged, and it was changed to the Banking Supervision Bureau. This improved the status of the minting power and showed that the imperial power had no restrictions.
Yu Qian really helped the emperor a lot.
Adjust the exchange ratio to make the emperor make a lot of money.
As long as the exchange ratio remains unchanged, the emperor can use a small amount of capital to leverage the country's capital and control all the country's money in his own hands.
In the future, whether it is silver coming in from overseas or silver mines obtained from plunder, it will be collected by the central government and become the emperor's money.
The emperor's money will never be spent.
Hu Hui discovered that, silently, the emperor had become a behemoth.
It will take several generations of efforts to melt this behemoth. Just as the imperial power of the Yongle Dynasty collapsed, it also went through the Hongxi Dynasty, Xuande Dynasty, and it was not until the turning point of Tumubao that the imperial power completely collapsed.
But what pleased him was that the ancient Ming dynasty was coming back to life.
Look at how quickly silver coins are exchanged.
It shows the affluence of the people. After the exchange, wealth is gathering in the center.
The emperor used the money to build Mobei, regain Jiaozhi, expand the territory, level the land, nourish the land and support the people, and the Ming Dynasty became prosperous and great again.
"Your Majesty, let's set it on the first day of the first lunar month of the 12th year of Jingtai."
Yao Kui said: "Issuing it together with the Slave Emancipation Order is a double blessing."
The Ming Dynasty is dying and everything is slow.
We also have to give landlord Lao Cai some time to adapt.
Zhu Qiyu did not object: "Let's set it in the 12th year of Jingtai."
"Your Majesty Shengming."
Zhu Qiyu considered it and said: "My lords, regarding the issue of the refugees, I plan to subsidize the refugees with a sum of money. What do you think?"
He was afraid that the refugees would rebel.
Yao Kui's expression changed: "Your Majesty, absolutely not!"
"People in the world don't worry about scarcity but about inequality."
"Your Majesty has subsidized the refugees, so how will the surviving people in the world deal with themselves? Do they feel that the refugees are treated better than themselves, so why should they become refugees too?"
"Your Majesty's love for the people is good, but never underestimate the evil of human nature!"
These words aroused the agreement of the courtiers.
Human nature is inherently evil, and people's hearts tend to be profitable.
If being a refugee could make money, all the people in the world would give up and become refugees.
Ma Wensheng said: "Your Majesty, you will give tax exemptions to the northern provinces and give them money to buy coal."
"But what will the people in the south think?"
"Since the Hongwu Dynasty, they have been bridging the division of the north and the south, making the north and the south one family in the Central Plains."
"But your Majesty's move is dividing the north and the south."
This is not a joke.
Starting from the Southern Song Dynasty, the north and the south were completely divided and ruled, and they were incompatible with each other.
The small court of the Southern Song Dynasty also gave the northerners a vicious title, "Reformers", which completely divided the Chinese nation.
After experiencing the Mongol and Yuan rule, people were divided into three, six or nine grades, and the north and the south were no longer one.
Until Emperor Taizu recreated China, established the Ming Dynasty, and unified the north and south.
Especially the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have been separated from the motherland for hundreds of years!
Even the pronunciation is different from each other, even the words are deviated, and there is a serious sense of disidentification in history.
Therefore, since the Hongwu Dynasty, Emperor Taizu has been constantly rectifying the harm caused by the division of the north and the south, and repeatedly telling the people of the world that the north and the south are one family, and they are all China.
Mentioning this matter, Yu Zijun knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, what Ma Siqing said is true. The division of the north and the south will do great harm to China. We must not let the people have a sense of separation between the south and the north."
"Ma Qing is right, I didn't think about it."
Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty moved its capital to the north, which stabilized the north and prevented it from splitting again.
"The central government also exempted the people of the southern provinces from corresponding taxes, called coal supplements, which are available to all people in the world, regardless of north or south."
With a wave of his hand, Zhu Qiyu would spend a huge amount of money.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Zhu Qiyu asked them to get up: "The division of the north and the south was the fault of the Southern Song Dynasty. The random diversion of the Yellow River was also the fault of the Southern Song Dynasty. Did the Southern Song Dynasty do anything?"
"But I want to regard him as Zhengshuo!"
"Looking at the Liao and Jin Dynasties, which one is not better than the Southern Song Dynasty?"
"Didn't the Khitan and Jurchen also become Han Chinese? Who can tell the difference now?"
"At the same time, why do Chinese people regard the Southern Song Dynasty as Zhengshuo?"
The Zhengshuo issue is too sensitive.
The emperor complained a few words, but others did not dare to say anything.
When Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty, he regarded the Southern Song Dynasty as Zhengshuo, and when the Ming Dynasty inherited the Yuan Dynasty, it was natural that the Southern Song Dynasty should be regarded as Zhengshuo.
Besides, although the Liao and Jin people were heavily sinicized, they were still foreigners after all.
No matter how bad the Southern Song Dynasty was, it was still our own clan.
"Hmph, it's unfair for me to repay the sins caused by the Southern Song Dynasty!"
Zhu Qiyu was a little angry: "My lords, I want to build a temple for the emperors of all dynasties, and then build a temple of literature and martial arts."
"I don't want to put any of the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty in it, and I don't want to put any of the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty in it except Zhao Kuangyin."
When the courtiers heard this, the emperor became willful again.
but.
It would be a good opportunity to build another Confucian Temple and a Martial Arts Temple.
Emperor Taizu abolished the Wu Temple and converted the Confucian Temple to the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
This is an extreme reduction of ministerial power, turning the civil servants and military generals who have shone brightly in history into the emperor's vassals and lackeys.
At the same time, Emperor Taizu was doing his best to limit military power and reduce the status of generals to the extreme, turning generals into the emperor's eagle claws.
Nearly a hundred years later.
Zhu Qiyu wanted to rebuild the Confucian Temple, the Martial Arts Temple, and the Imperial Temple.
This is a good thing.
"I thought you would say that this goes against the ancestral system?" Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile.
The courtier's expression changed and he smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, when will I use the ancestral system to advise Your Majesty?"
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Qiyu laughed.
Emperor Taizu's intention was very clear, to suppress the power of ministers to the extreme.
Zhu Qiyu also understood, but if he wanted to get back the right to interpret the ancestral system, he would have to give benefits to the civil servants first.
Once the Confucian Temple or the Martial Arts Temple are built, he will have the right to move whoever he wants in and who he can move out.
In this way, the ministers took the emperor's right to interpret the ancestral system, and the emperor took the ministers' right to enter the temple, and they harmed each other.
"Your Majesty, do you want to inherit the Yuan system, or re-approval of civil and military candidates?"
Hu Xi asked the key question.
If the emperor chooses historical candidates, then the ministerial power will be controlled by the emperor.
In the future, anyone who wants to enter the Confucian Temple or the Wu Temple must obtain the emperor's permission.
"Of course it needs to be re-examined. Some people are not worthy of entering the Confucian Temple or the Martial Arts Temple." Zhu Qiyu was not targeting anyone, but the Southern Song Dynasty.
Hu Xi's face froze.
Sure enough, everything the emperor did had deep meaning.
"I don't plan to follow the rules and directly accept the previous dynasty's list."
Zhu Qiyu considered it and said: "I want to use a new list, and I don't use the rule of 72 generals of the Ten Philosophers. I just need to set a standard. All civil servants and generals who meet the standard will be worthy of sacrifice."
There are too many famous civil servants and generals in Chinese history.
There are not only 72 generals, there are too many prominent figures from all dynasties and generations.
Zhu Qiyu wanted to record all these people.
Upon hearing this, Hu Hui realized that if he followed the standards, he, Hu Hui, would also have a chance to enter.
So how many of the courtiers standing in the Yangxin Hall are qualified to enter?
The emperor's move completely mobilized the enthusiasm of his ministers.
"Your Majesty, you can't sacrifice too many people?"
Although Yao Kui also wanted to enter the Confucian Temple, he knew that his ability and political achievements were insufficient.
Entering the Confucian Temple actually lowers the level of the Confucian Temple.
He is self-aware.
"That's natural."
"Not just any famous general or minister can enter the temple."
Zhu Qiyu said: "So we need to set a standard."
Bai Gui smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, if we follow Han Xin's standards, how many people can enter the Martial Temple?"
"That's your problem. Based on the lists of previous dynasties, re-evaluate merit and select a standard based on merit."
Zhu Qiyu said: "72 places are too few."
"Let's see, I plan to build four halls, one hall for 36 people, four halls means 140 people."
"The Wenwu Temple was put together to build eight halls, and another hall was built in the middle to serve as a temple to worship Confucius and other saints."
"But we have to leave some space. I hope a few people will come in this time!"
This is Zhu Qiyu's hook.
A hook to make your ministers obey.
It is equivalent to saying that part of these 144 places must be reserved for future generations and cannot be filled casually. The merit must be high enough.
But it shouldn’t be too high. Use Han Xin as the standard. How many can get in?
There are nine halls in total, one hall for saints, four halls for the Confucian Temple, and four halls for the Martial Arts Temple.
"The Confucian Temple also has 144 places."
Zhu Qiyu separated civil and military affairs, and the Confucian Temple also only enjoyed sacrifices.
In this way, how can a person like Zhuge Liang be regarded as a civilized person or a martial artist?
"Your Majesty, are the famous generals of the Yuan Dynasty included?" Bai Gui asked a very stupid question.
"The Ming Dynasty inherited the Yuan Dynasty, and the Mongolian people are also descendants of Chinese Miao people. How can they not be counted as Chinese people?"
Hu Xi said seriously: "Not only do we have to calculate, but we also need to publicize to the Mongols that Genghis Khan is a Chinese!"
Although the Mongols killed many Han people.
But I have to admit that Genghis Khan is Chinese.
The war between Han and Mongolia was a civil war, a war in the living space.
From the time when Emperor Taizu pinched his nose and recognized the Yuan Dynasty as the previous dynasty, future generations, regardless of whether they were embittered or not, had to admit that Genghis Khan was a Chinese.
It doesn’t matter whether Genghis Khan admits it or not, we admit it anyway.
"The old master is right, the famous generals of the Yuan Dynasty and also the famous Chinese generals want to enter the Wenwu Temple."
Zhu Qiyu said: "I would also like to include Genghis Khan among the emperors' temples."
In this way, the selection becomes interesting.
For example, there must be Hulagu in the Martial Arts Temple. Hulagu is the most influential orientalist in Europe. This outstanding man will also be included in the Martial Arts Temple.
Among the famous generals such as Han Xin, Zhang Liang, Guan Yu, Zhou Yu, Li Jing, and Xu Da, the name Xu Liegu suddenly appeared.
There will also be names like Kublai Lai, Zhelemei, Borshu, Subotai and so on.
Will it feel intrusive?
The Great Yuan Dynasty has entered, do the famous Liao and Jin generals also have to enter?
The name is interesting.
"Your Majesty, why don't you change these names?" Yu Zijun suddenly thought.
"How to change it?" Zhu Qiyu looked awkward, but he had to admit it.
"Changed to Chinese name, translated Chinese name."
Zhu Qiyu rolled his eyes: "Do you still know this person? Why not add him? If you don't change it, just add him!"
"Your Majesty, will famous generals from ancient dynasties such as Dali and Tubo join in?" Ma Wensheng asked a very pointed question.
Does the Ming Dynasty recognize the existence of these dynasties?
Nowadays, Dali and Tubo are both under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. For example, Songtsen Gampo, can he enter the imperial temple?
If other emperors did not have this problem, they would definitely not join.
Zhu Qiyu is different. He wants to expand his territory and be like Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan is open to all rivers and will use whatever is useful to him.
So will he add these people?
"Ma Qing, do you think we should add it?" Zhu Qiyu was also hesitating.
If these are added, when it is expanded to Annan and North Korea, will the famous ministers and generals in their history also be added to it?
Will this sow the seeds of division?
Ma Wensheng smiled bitterly: "Wei Chen believes that there are benefits to adding, but there are benefits to not adding."
"If you add it, it can bring Wushen back to his heart;"
"If we don't add it, we can ensure long-term peace and stability for the Han people."
He specifically mentioned the Han people.
The emperor wanted to eliminate the existence of all ethnic groups and turn them all into Han people. There would be no other ethnic groups and turn the Ming Dynasty into a single-ethnic country.
But if you add it, you can quickly rule Wusheng.
Zhu Qiyu was very confused and looked at Hu Hui and Yao Kui.
Hu Xi is still thinking.
Yao Kui said slowly: "I don't think it will be added."
"If we add them, will it give rise to Wushen's desire to regain Tubo?"
"After we include Annan and North Korea, now that we have learned from the past, should we also join their famous generals?"
"It's okay for countries like Annan and North Korea. After all, their countries have been bathed in Han civilization for thousands of years."
"And what about the far west? The names, habits, and even looks of those khanates established by the Mongols are all different from ours."
"Joining them is just like joining the emperors and ministers of Yuan Dynasty. It seems nondescript."
Yao Kui's words also make sense.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Hu Mei.
Hu Hui exhaled a breath of turbidity: "Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be considered. I can't make up my mind. There are advantages to both, but the disadvantages are also great."
"Dali Zuo'er is just a small country. It has been destroyed for a long time. It is nothing."
"But Wushen is different. If your Majesty wants to use Lamaism, you must be careful of Tubo's resurrection from the dead."
Although Hu Xi didn't say it clearly, she was opposed to joining these.
In fact, the formation of the Tubo Dynasty was absolutely related to the climate. At that time, global warming caused spring flowers to bloom on the plateau, which gave Tubo the capital to dominate.
With the current pace of global cooling, it is difficult for Wushen to protect itself. How can we recreate the glory of Tubo?
The problem is that Hu Hui doesn't know this.
He was wary of those lamas who traveled around preaching, whom he considered too dangerous and the cause of division.
