Emperor Ming Dynasty

The Yongle Encyclopedia has 3.7 million characters, and also includes many picture books. If engraving is used, the cost is immeasurable.

For the current plan, movable type printing can only be used.

Although movable type printing was more advanced, block printing has always been the mainstream.

Without him, cheap and easy to use.

A large number of books, such as the Four Books and Five Classics, and novels, are all printed with woodblocks.

And those high-quality books with low demand are hand-copied by hired people, and the cost is frighteningly low.

For movable type printing, whether it is lead type, wooden type, or copper type, it is more advanced than engraving.

At that time, for Zhu Yixi, what he wanted to do most was to invent a printer, but unfortunately he couldn't!

Thinking of this, the emperor lost interest, waved his hands and said: "There is only one original and one copy of the "Yongle Canon", and it is hidden deep in the palace where fires frequently occur. It is too dangerous."

"Organize the copyists, and re-copy five copies, and place them in Yuquan Mountain, Xi'an Mansion, Kunming, Chengdu, and Guangzhou!"

Yuquan Mountain is a villa area; Xi'an Mansion is Guanzhong, where the emperor is rooted; Chengdu is located in Shu, which couldn't be safer.

As for Kunming and Guangzhou, they are nothing more than Guangxing education.

"Your Majesty, this is a clear cultural education!" Zhao Shu hurriedly bowed down and praised:
"Because of this in Southwest, I'm afraid it's not a flourishing style of writing, and catching up with Jiangnan is just around the corner."

"Yunnan and Guangdong are a bit remote after all." Zhu Yixi sighed softly: "If the Yongle Grand Ceremony can really promote the prosperity of its culture and education, it will not be in vain for Emperor Chengzu's hard work."

After chatting like this for a while, the first assistant patted two pictures and flattered him for a while, and the emperor was finally satisfied.

Zhao Shu wiped the sweat from his forehead and returned to the cabinet.

At this time, several elders in the middle hall came to look forward one after another, their eyes were full of searching.

"It should be fine."

Zhao Shu drank a cup of tea and took a sip.Then she shook her head slightly, showing a trace of helplessness:
"The Holy One must have turned a blind eye to Guizhou when he came to Yuquan Mountain."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult." This time it was Yan Chongxin's turn to shake his head, he glanced at the wide-open hall door, turned his head and said in a deep voice, "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable!"

"The case has not been judged yet, the whole province will be demoted to one level, and the governor will be dismissed directly. If it continues, the truth will be revealed, and the consequences will be unpredictable..."

"Because of the incident in Guizhou, people in Beijing are panicking. They all think that His Majesty will follow the example of Taizu and start killing." Zhang Shenyan said with a wry smile:
"Once it starts, it can't be stopped later."

"Besides, the serious illness has to go away slowly so that there will be no future troubles..."

The stereotypes and bad habits of the 300 years of the Ming Dynasty have long been full of disadvantages, not to mention that the Shaowu Emperor has been firmly established in the world in less than ten years, and all heirs are the bureaucrats of the previous Ming Dynasty.

The ones in charge have changed from the Donglin Party to a group of ZTE members like them.

In a sense, the Xinming at this time is the same as the Eastern Han and Manchu in history, inheriting the previous system and not changing much.

The top and bottom of the cabinet naturally see this clearly, and understand that change is an urgent matter, so they agree with the supervisory censor going to various places.

After all, it is to clear the former bureaucrats and make room for their own people.

But don't rush everything. Although the strong medicine has quick effect, it will cause serious troubles and easily cause rebound.

It is easy to conquer the world, but it is much more difficult to dominate the world. They don't want to perish in the first life, or in the second life.

"I will persuade the emperor."

Zhao Shu frowned, put down the teacup, and looked around at the few people: "But don't try to intercede."

"This matter is too big. It is the court's face, His Majesty's face."

"I think not only Guizhou, but also other provinces have to be careful..."

"No way!" Lu Daqi was puzzled: "They are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty, how can they be so presumptuous? The imperial court is newly established, and the Beijing camp is not a show."

"You mean the Donglin Party?" Zhang Shenyan suddenly realized something, and asked suspiciously, "But weren't those people sent to Guangxi?"

"The leader went to Guangxi, but there are many tails behind."

Zhao Shu pretended to be profound and said: "There are still many who are unwilling to be lonely..."

"The tea poison of the Donglin Party is not shallow, and there are quite a few local people who love them. They all call themselves gentlemen, so what are we? Villains?"

Seeing the serious faces of several people, Zhao Shoufu was relieved from the bottom of his heart.

Like the emperor, he was extremely resentful of the bad governance of the previous dynasty.

Having served as Sun Chuanting's staff for several years, he has witnessed the swords, swords and shadows in the officialdom, as well as the dirty activities.

Those rioters and slaves, who was the opponent of the imperial court at the beginning?All of them are fighting each other in the officialdom, and thus continue to give away heads, leading to the complete fall of the court.

How can such residual poison not be eliminated?
Several people in the cabinet hesitated about this, or they were born in the previous dynasty, so naturally they could not veto their first half of life.

Zhao Shu thinks that it is not only necessary to be fast, but also to use strong medicine.

For example, the incident in Guizhou swept across a province at a time.

Anyway, the provincial examination is held at any time, and there is no shortage of officials.

Therefore, the only way to make them make up their minds is to borrow the matter of the Donglin Party.

The Donglin Party is not clean at all, it is part of the residual poison.

Although the power of the first assistant is great, it still requires the cooperation of the cabinet members. The Donglin Party is a good excuse.

Both Lu Daqi and Zhang Shenyan were from the Donglin Party, but that's exactly what happened. They were very clear about the emperor's dislike of the Donglin Party, so naturally they avoided it now.

Their current political career must not be associated with the Donglin Party any more. Instead, they must cut it clean so as not to affect the emperor's perception.

"What the chief assistant said is true." Zhang Shenyan said solemnly.

Lu Daqi said bluntly: "It seems that I still made the mistake of the Donglin Party, helping my relatives but not helping them, and protecting my relatives..."

These words are naturally serious, but coupled with Lu Daqi's straightforward character design, they seem very straightforward and not disgusting.

"I and the Donglin Party, a clean break--" Zhang Shenyan suddenly came to his senses, stood up straight away, and said with a serious face, looking at Zhao Shu with his eyes, he was showing his position.

Such a major event in Guizhou has spread all over the world. If the officials of the whole province are dropped, countless people will be shocked.

And this is naturally not the emperor's fault, nor the cabinet's fault.

Therefore, this pot was decided by the Donglin Party.

Zhang Shenyan breathed out, looking at the smiling Zhao Shu, his eyes were full of deep eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Inexplicably, he felt that although the door was open, it was colder.

Zhao Shu is worthy of being the first assistant.

He has already begun to deal with the aftermath of Guizhou...

As expected by Zhao Shu, Zhu Yixi never wanted to let Guizhou go. After learning that the imperial envoy was not dead, he continued to order him to investigate the disaster relief corruption case.

In the summer resort, the emperor received Zhang Keyou's secret box.

The content is only about [-] words, but it describes the affairs of Guizhou in a simple and clear way, and the final summary is just one sentence, asking Jin Yiwei for help and searching the account books.

"I was going to replace the Guizhou Thousand Households Office, but since it is still useful, it will be cheaper for them..."
